Chapter 16.4 (1/2)
Understanding that is too deep
Zheng Xie heart began to worry. He tried not to show any strange mood in front of Yang Wei Qi as she did not even know who called. But before he could speak, she spoke first: “It seems to be windier. Let’s go back. Less dangerous and I am also tired.”
After landing, Yang Wei Qi excused herself to go home to watch a live entertainment show so she will drive herself home. Zheng Xie is very grateful for her understanding. He drove along the beach road to the hotel where Su Ren Ran’s wedding dinner is held.
The luxury beachfront hotel has been extended to the sea. From far, Zheng Xie could see He He.
She and another bridesmaid are sitting together at the edge of the sea level. They had replaced the daytime dress and is now wearing a dress that is not able to distinguish the color with fabrics that s.h.i.+ne in the moonlight. Very visible from far.
He walked up to them, and extended his hand to He He. Xiao He He did not go and shake his hand but as usual, hold onto his arms to stand up. She could not even stand up straight, severely shaking, indicating that she had quite a lot to drink.
Another bridesmaid laughed while clapping her hand: “Xiao He He you lose. Do not try to get out of the bet!”
He He replied: “Dare to bet, dare to pay. Who is afraid of who?”
Zheng Xie extend his hand out to help the other woman. He could not help but frown: “Drink to this extend. Why no one send you home?”
The other woman said: “He He say, after drinking too much, cannot just get into any strange man’s car. So she did not allow anyone to send her home.”
He He somewhat vaguely said: “Such anilities is not my invention. My brother taught me. Ding Ding, you must remember the teachings of my brother.”
Zheng Xie had to send these two drunken female home. They leave after a staff member confirmed his identify very conscientious. He drove out of the parking, saw Cen s.h.i.+ in another vehicle from the rear view mirror. Their eyes briefly intersect for a moment, nodded slightly to each other.
After Ding Ding got off, He He climbed from the back seat to the front seat. Zheng Xie already started the car, see her acrobatics, immediately stopped the car. He did not agree at her indecent behavior.
He He said: “After all, I am already drunk. I will not remember your nagging.”
“I could nag you tomorrow.”
“At that time, I will not remember tonight. I can deny it.”
Zheng Xie shook his head and continued driving.
The car is too quiet. He He began to gently hum. For a while singing “小白船” and after that singing “两只老虎.” He saw her naïve drunkenness and simply let her be. After a while, he asked: “You playing betting game with people again. Each time such boring game. Each time you lose. This time what did you lose?”
小白船 (Little White Boat) – 小白船 (Little White Boat / 两只老虎 (Two Tigers) – 两只老虎 (Two Tigers) are popular children songs
“This time is, fortunately, it is going to Ding Ding’s home to do part-time housekeeper for half a day.” He He honestly replied: “All your fault for causing me to lose. We bet that you will not come. I say you will not while Ding Ding say you will come.”
“How do you know I will not come?”
“Because Su Ren Ra will leave the driver to take us home. Ah, so you don’t have to trouble yourself. How come your date ended so early? Would Ms Yang be unhappy?”
