Love Story With A Twist Chapter 4

Jake's mother couldn't stand the scorching heat in Beijing, so she stayed there for more than a week and then went back to the Northeast.

This week, in order not to make her angry, Jake, who is a vegetarian at home, was very depressed. As soon as his mother left, he immediately prepared to go out and have some fun. But he felt it was boring to play alone, so he wanted to find a companion.

That new friend he likes very much is fine.

Alex was brushing his sneakers while listening to Emily's scolding.

"I was away for five or six days, and you only worked two shifts. What can you do with the thousands of dollars you earn? I have to plan for several days to buy a fully automatic washing machine with a dryer."

"This time I met a woman in Hong Kong. She used to be a print model. Because she found a rich man, she now stays at home to raise dogs and learn flower arrangement. She flies to Hong Kong and Japan to go shopping when she has nothing to do. She used to work with the sisters who came with me this time. We bumped into each other at the Tiffany counter in Harbour City. She gave each of us a necklace. She was so showy and kept saying, 'her husband treats her very well.' She was so cute."

"I'm telling you, Chinese Valentine's Day is coming soon. Last year, the husbands of my sisters either took their friends on a trip abroad or let them pick up a new car. No matter how bad it was, they gave them a decent bag. But you gave me a discounted bag that was sold out of season. I was too embarrassed to show it on my Moments. You should be more careful this year."

He just listened without saying a word. He felt that everything she said was right, all right.

The cell phone rang. He dropped his shoe brush and sneakers, rubbed his hands on his jeans, looked at the caller, and picked up the phone.

Jake asked with a smile: "What are you doing?"

Alex said, "I brush my shoes at home."

Jake said: "Where do you live? I want to go play with you."

Alex said: "I'll be done soon, I'll come find you."

Jake was very happy and told me the address of a bar near Gongti. He then said, "Hurry up. I'm alone and I'm so bored."

Alex said: "Okay."

He simply rinsed his sneakers under the water pipe, wrapped them in a layer of toilet paper and hung them in a corner of the balcony where they could not be exposed to the sun.

Emily asked him: "Who is looking for you? Where are you going?"

He said: "New friend, come and play with me."

Emily asked: "Where did you meet?"

He didn't want to say too much and said, "We met during a performance." He and Jake did meet in the bathroom of the club where he was performing.

Emily curled her lips and said, "I don't even want to say anything to you. Just hang out with those people who are not as successful as you are and see what you can come up with."

Alex didn't respond to her. He changed into a clean T-shirt and went out.

In fact, apart from performances, he seldom goes to bars. Firstly, he is always short of money, and secondly, he doesn't like noise. When he has free time, he likes to stay alone quietly.

He didn't like Jake much either.

Under normal circumstances, if Jake asked him to go to the bar, he would probably find a reason to refuse.

But today he agreed so readily that I really didn't want to stay at home any longer.

When we arrived at the place Jake mentioned, it was almost dark. The bar was very famous and easy to find.

Jake was also easy to find. He was sitting in the middle of the noisiest and busiest booth. There were seven or eight young girls sitting on both sides of the semicircular sofa. They all had high nose bridges, big European double eyelids, pointed chins, and busts of at least D size.

Judging from the bottles of wine piled on the table, this group of people have already drunk a lot. Jake was whispering to the girl on the left, and I don't know what they said. The girl hit him with her little pink fist and said in a coquettish voice: "You are too bad, no, you have to drink a penalty."

Alex regretted coming here. After eating hotpot last time, his impression of Jake was a little different from the initial one. He changed from a rich second generation who was full of bad intentions to a rich second generation who was heartless and a little silly. So he thought Jake wanted to play with him today just to hang out in a bar, drink some wine, chat and brag, and at most pick up a girl. The game in front of him was the one he hated the most.

Jake drank the wine from the girl's hand with a playful smile, and when he saw him, he waved to him happily: "Xiao Xie, come quickly! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Alex had no choice but to go over. He thought that since he was already there, he might as well sit for a while and then find a reason to leave.

He just sat down on the outermost edge of the semicircular sofa when Jake pushed away the girl who was feeding him wine and said, "Move aside, make room for Xiao Xie." Then he called Alex, "Why are you sitting so far away? Come and sit next to me."

Alex didn't move and said, "Just sit here."

Jake said unhappily, "If you don't come over, I will."

All the girls in the circle stared at Alex.

He had no choice but to get up and squeeze between the table and the rows of thighs to sit next to Jake.

Jake smiled and pulled his arm, saying to the girls: "This is Xiao Xie. Isn't he handsome? He dances really well! He is a professional, and he is not at the same level as you guys who just hug a pole and dance around."

The girls raised their glasses to toast Alex, calling him "Little Brother Xie" in a sweet and sticky voice.

Alex took a sip of beer perfunctorily.

Jake saw that he seemed to have no interest, so he leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I'm so tired of waiting for you, and just in time a group of fake faces came, don't you like them? Otherwise, I'll send them away and wait for some better ones."

Alex: "...No need."

Jake was relieved, thinking that he might be a little shy because he just arrived, but he would be more relaxed after drinking. So he clinked his bottle with his and urged him to drink: "Come on, this is the first time we drink together. I won't say much. Let's go first!"

The girls nearby were very discerning and put a dozen beers in front of the two of them, and cheered together: "Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!"

Jake had already started walking. He drank a bottle of wine in one breath, and in a blink of an eye he finished two bottles.

Alex had no choice but to follow him.

Jake is a nightclub gold belt and has no limit to his alcohol tolerance unless he wants to get drunk.

Alex was naturally not as good as Jake. Although his alcohol tolerance was acceptable, he was a little drunk after guzzling half a dozen bottles. He was not a person who liked to show off. He knew that he could not drink like this anymore. He then held the bottle in his hand. When Jake persuaded him, he took a sip. When Jake played with the girls, he just pretended to hold the bottle. At first, the girl sitting next to him wanted to chat with him and persuade him to drink, but seeing that he was too cold, she didn't want to make herself unhappy and went over him to talk to Jake.

Jake was already having a great time. He said to a busty girl, "You have silicone pads, right?" The girl denied it. He took out a wad of cash from his wallet and threw it on the table, grinning, "Then let me feel it and check it. If you haven't, I'll give you all the money. If you have, I'll punish you for not telling the truth... Hold the bottle of wine between your breasts and walk around the field. As long as the wine doesn't spill, I'll give you all the money. How about it? Do you want to play?"

Alex thought the girl would not agree, but she came to sit next to Jake, showed off her proud breasts, and said, "Come and touch them."

Jake raised his hands and shook them, and said with a smile: "You're still trying to fool me! Is there no padding?"

The girl remained calm, took the bottle and stuffed it into her low-cut skirt, then stood up and walked around the bar, whistling. When she came back, she bent over and approached Jake, who smiled and took out the bottle, rolled up the money and stuffed it in. The girl smiled and k!ssed him on the cheek.

Alex kept a poker face throughout.

He recalled Emily once saying, "As long as we girls are willing to take risks, we can make money much faster than you guys."

Jake probably had enough fun and wanted to take a break. He put one hand on Alex's shoulder, leaned on him, and boasted with a smile: "I'm not bragging. I don't even need to touch whether it's real breasts or silicone. I can tell at a glance. Don't try to fool me."

Alex ignored him.

Jake looked at his face and felt that he was still not very happy. After thinking for a while, he whispered in his ear: "Don't be so restrained. Have fun. Order whatever you want to drink. Take whatever you like. It's all mine. Don't worry about the money."

Alex: "...I have to go back."

Jake was stunned and asked, "What time is it? Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

Alex said: "My girlfriend is back from another place."

Jake said indifferently: "Come back, come back. Do you still need to go back and coax her to sleep?"

As he thought about it, he put his chin on Alex's shoulder, put on a sly smile on his face, and said in a long tone: "Oh---a short separation is better than a new marriage, I understand, I understand, no wonder you have been absent-minded all the time."

Alex agreed.

Jake said: "Then I won't keep you here. I'll come play with you another day."

Alex left the bar, found a nearby noodle shop, ate a bowl of noodles, and then took the subway back home.

The light was on in the bedroom of the one-bedroom apartment, and from the sound, Emily seemed to be chatting with her bestie on WeChat. She should have heard him coming back, but she ignored it.

He took a shower and slept on the sofa outside.

The next morning, he went out for a run, then bought two breakfasts and came back to find that Emily had already gone out.

He ate the meal alone and put the remaining portion in the small refrigerator.

I went to the balcony to collect clothes and saw that the sneakers in the corner were dry. I tore off the toilet paper but didn't clean them.

He took it to the bathroom sink and brushed it again. Halfway through brushing, he lost his grip and the shoe brush fell, knocking the wastebasket next to the toilet askew. He bent down to pick up the shoe brush and cleaned up the wastebasket. He found something like a thermometer in the tilted wastebasket. He picked it up and took a look. There were two red lines on it.

he:"!!!"

He was only surprised for a few seconds, and then he immediately became happy.

He thought, he was going to be a father!

We have to get married first, propose today.

He rushed out and withdrew his time deposit that had not yet matured, then went to buy a one-carat diamond ring. He thought it was very big, shiny and beautiful, and he thought Emily would definitely like it.

Then he bought a big bouquet of roses.

After returning home, he changed into formal clothes and waited for Emily to come back.

It was not until the afternoon that I waited for Emily, but I received a call from Emily.

She said: "Xiao Xie, let's break up."

He was stunned for a moment, then said softly: "Emily, I will correct whatever I did wrong in the future. I will listen to you in everything you want me to do."

Emily was silent for a moment, then said, "I had an abortion this morning."

Alex's heart sank.

Emily started crying and said, "I'm sorry."

Alex said: "Don't be like this, we are still young and there will be many opportunities in the future."

Emily cried, "Xiao Xie, we won't have a chance."

Alex: "...What do you mean?"

Emily cried for a while, then slowly calmed down and said, "I am sorry for you. I am in a relationship with the director of my last movie."

"He's rich and can take me to a play. You just said that I'm still young. Girls only have a few years of beauty. If you waste them, you can never get them back. I'm sorry, I just want to live a better life. I'm tired of being poor."

"I don't want anything at home anymore. You can throw away anything you find useless. I haven't used the discounted bag you gave me. I just hang it in the closet. It's still new. You can sell it as second-hand. It should fetch at least two or three thousand yuan."

"I didn't want to tell you in front of you before that it's not that easy to be a singer. You should face the reality and work hard to be a dance teacher. It's better than dreaming like this. I'm doing this for your own good."

Alex said: "I wish you happiness."

He hung up the phone, held the diamond ring and looked at it for a long time. It was really big, shiny and beautiful... It cost more than 70,000 yuan. Can it be returned?

He picked up the bouquet of roses and threw it out with his backhand. It hit the glass door of the balcony and the petals shattered all over the floor.

The sunlight outside was so bright that it stung his eyes. Tears welled up in his eyes but he held them back.

The phone rang again, it was an unfamiliar number.

He pressed the answer button and said, "Hello."

A female voice said, "Hello, is this Alex?"

He said, "I am, who are you?"

The man said, "I am Mr. Ryan's assistant. I am happy to inform you that you passed the interview last week."

Alex couldn't control himself, he stood up and said: "You mean..."

The female assistant's voice was full of laughter as she said, "The name of your group has been decided. The company will officially sign you next Monday. Welcome to join the newest idol boy group of Huixing Entertainment, Iceream."
