The next day after every drunken night, I could always see him busy in the kitchen.
He will bring me a bowl of warm soup.
Compared to the noise in the bar, I seemed to prefer watching movies in his arms.
I enjoyed a moment of peace.
This was the first time I discovered that it would be nice to have someone taking care of me like this.
I thought the exchange between him and me was of equal value.
I gave him money to save him from the hard work.
He could concentrate on his studies.
Then he gave me himself in exchange for filling my emotional void.
It was good for all of us.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Shawn? It turns out you still remember us.
We thought you had lost your mind because of the man at home."
I chuckled and walked in.
I picked up the wine on the table and gestured to everyone at the table. Then I drank it all in one gulp.
"Come on, stop teasing me. I'll pay the bill tonight."
"You are so generous!"
Cheers rang out one after another.
I sat down in the corner.
I hadn't been here in a long time.
The noise gave me a headache.
A girl came and sat next to me.
"Why don't you come over and play with us? Why didn't your smart ass come with you today?"
I leaned close to her ear.
"He was at home reading some papers tonight. I just slipped out by myself."
"Don't let a man who takes your money take advantage of you too much."
"He may look honest on the surface, but you never know what was he thinking."
I didn't respond, just took a sip of wine.
Seeing me like this, she couldn't say anything more.
Then she pulled me into the crowd.
When I came to my senses, the bar was already closed.
Only a few people were lying here and there, unconscious.
I called the waiter and took out my card to pay.
Once, twice, three times.
"Miss, this card doesn't work. How about another one?"
The people around me also woke up one after another.
Seeing me like this, they joked.
"I think Miss Shawn is spending too much and is being punished by her family."
A group of people left together with laughter.
I just thought my parents were angry because of the last argument.
They wanted to force me to surrender in this way.
I didn't take it seriously.
In the end, someone else paid for me. I smiled and said I would pay her back later.
She looked at me with a complicated face.
She sighed softly and patted my shoulder.
"Call your parents."
I unblocked my parents from the blacklist.
