Dating should happen after get off work.

unemployment?

Jiang Sheng stood there, stunned.

He immediately gave Li Youhe a look, and she nodded knowingly, coaxing Xia Xiaoman to sit down first.

Then, Jiang Sheng sat down at the bar and looked at Lao Zhou.

"Do you know what happened to Xia Xiaoman?"

Old Zhou wiped the glass, standing in front of Jiang Sheng like a wall. He glanced at Jiang Sheng and spoke.

"Men, if you want to know something, just ask directly, instead of trying to find out indirectly."

"Hey Lao Zhou, why is your dialogue box different from ours?"

"A man cannot be content with the status quo, or he will fall into an abyss."

Old Zhou's speech pattern resembles a Japanese three-part haiku. As soon as he opens his mouth, a Showa-era atmosphere washes over you, and you can even imagine hearing the sound of a shakuhachi and water bamboo striking the stone bank.

Jiang Sheng asked him to order a drink, but then suddenly remembered the embarrassing situation he had at Li Youhe's house after getting drunk last night, so he changed it to orange juice.

Old Zhou insisted on adding two small glasses of whiskey to the orange juice.

His current hobby is mixing drinks, not making beverages.

Holding his wine glass, Jiang Sheng sat down next to Li Youhe, cleared his throat, and looked at her troubled expression.

"Has the criminal confessed yet?"

"No."

"Detective Li, it'll be hard for you to get a promotion and a raise if you keep going like this."

Jiang Sheng made a pretentious critique, then handed the wine in his hand to Xia Xiaoman.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"Unemployment is unemployment! What's the big deal!" Xia Xiaoman grinned, took a small sip from her cup, then pouted and stuck out her tongue, "Gulp—this tastes awful..."

After all, it's orange juice and whiskey.

"Tell me about it," Jiang Sheng said, leaning back in his chair. "It's not good to worry your friends."

"Unemployment is unemployment; you're out of work."

"It's just that I can't send money home on time anymore, I can't pay the rent for the next quarter, I can't pay my sister's tuition, and I can't eat on time. It's not that scary!"

Jiang Sheng sighed, recalling the day he first met Xia Xiaoman.

At that time, Lao Zhou's interest was still in making fried skewers, so this place was still a fried skewer shop.

Both of them were drawn in by the fragrance.

That day, Xia Xiaoman wore a chestnut-colored dress and white sneakers, taking small steps as she walked through the store to Jiang Sheng's side. She smiled like a flower and handed him her skewers.

"That looks delicious! Can we trade?"

From then on, the two became "buddies" and often went out together after get off work.

Later, more and more like-minded friends gathered around them, eventually forming the "after-get off work buddy" team they are today.

but......

Xia Xiaoman, please stop talking!

Li Youhe is about to lose a little pearl!

As Xia Xiaoman spoke, she picked up the glass of wine that didn't taste good with both hands, took a small sip, and took two deep breaths, as if she had made some kind of preparation.

Then she looked up at Jiang Sheng and Li Youhe.

"Actually... I'm an actor!"

"Then what."

"Hey! Aren't you all surprised?!"

"You're so beautiful, only an actress would be surprised."

"whee."

"Hehe, my foot!" Jiang Sheng looked at Xia Xiaoman, who was covering her face and looking shy, and helplessly tapped the table with his finger. "So why are you unemployed?"

Mentioning this, Xia Xiaoman seemed to recall unpleasant memories.

He pounded on the table in anger.

"The director thought I was pretty and asked if I could do intimate scenes!"

"Sex scenes?"

Jiang Sheng was stunned.

"Oh dear, the love scene is..."

Xia Xiaoman didn't continue speaking. She got up and walked to Jiang Sheng's side in front of Li Youhe. In that instant, the energetic expression on her face disappeared, replaced by a dazed look and slightly flushed cheeks.

That's it.

She cupped Jiang Sheng's face in her hands, looked him up and down, and then, with a light and slow motion, her legs, clad in black stockings, stepped over him and sat down on him.

I could feel the warmth coming from my thighs, and the sticky feeling of sweat on my skin.

"I want to look at you...I want to be a burning flame...I want every cell in my body to yearn for you..."

"Then slowly approaching..."

Every word Xia Xiaoman uttered seemed to send hot breaths hitting Jiang Sheng's face.

Finally, their bodies were pressed tightly together, and she leaned close to Jiang Sheng's ear, blowing warm breath into his ear.

"What you want to do now... is to have me act in this kind of thing!"

I was pulled out of character in a second.

Xia Xiaoman puffed out her cheeks, cupped Jiang Sheng's face, and looked at him with dissatisfaction: "Wasn't that going too far! So I said on the spot, 'I quit!' And then I lost my job!"

A bead of sweat appeared on Jiang Sheng's forehead, sliding down his collarbone to his chest.

It wasn't just because the two of them were standing very close together.

And because of the unsettling, resentful gaze emanating from his right side—he didn't even dare turn his head to look.

"Xia Xiaoman, come down first."

"Hey—but you're really comfortable to sit on, more comfortable than the chairs in Old Zhou's shop."

"Go ask Lao Zhou to order some drinks; it's on me tonight."

Wow! You're amazing!

No one could guess what Xia Xiaoman was thinking the next second, just as no one could guess that she would hug Jiang Sheng's face and give him a big "smack".

Jiang Sheng's eyes widened.

After doing all this, Xia Xiaoman turned to look at the stunned Li Youhe, and smiled as she leaned closer: "Li Youhe! You got a share too!"

"Hey, do I want to be kissed too?"

Take a big smack.

Then Xia Xiaoman ran towards Lao Zhou with a loud laugh, saying, "Today is Consumer Day."

Jiang Sheng and Li Youhe looked at each other. He saw a conspicuous red lipstick mark on the girl's cheek—one could only imagine what his own face looked like.

"Please don't bury her in the cemetery, she was just a drunkard," he said.

Li Youhe's adorable eye-rolling.

While taking out a tissue, she said irritably, "What kind of person do you imagine me to be?"

"She is an angel."

She first took out a vanity mirror, wiped the lipstick mark off her face, and then softly called to Jiang Sheng, "Come here."

She cupped Jiang Sheng's cheeks in her hands and began to wipe away the lipstick marks from his lips.

"Miss Li Youhe".

"Um."

"Is it true that you need to use this much force to wipe off lipstick marks?"

"Yes, that's right."

Her voice remained gentle as she looked at Jiang Sheng with a smile, like a wife adjusting her husband's tie.

then,

The force in his hand increased even more.

......

Even after the gathering ended today, there were only the three of them among the "after-get off work buddies".

Xia Xiaoman was completely drunk.

But at least they managed to get her address from her. After the party, Jiang Sheng carried her on his back while Li Youhe called a taxi, and the two of them took Xia Xiaoman home together.

She lives in the "Taitung District," which is far from the city center. It's an old, dilapidated apartment that has been superficially renovated, but the exterior is covered with ivy, giving it a bad first impression.

There's no elevator, so I have to carry Xia Xiaoman up six floors.

I took out the key and opened the door—the apartment wasn't big, and the entryway was so small that it could barely fit one person.

Looking up, you see the living room from one end to the other, with an old red leather sofa. There's only one room, so it's right next to the kitchen, and there's no television.

—I thought a girl as energetic as Xia Xiaoman lived in a castle.

Jiang Sheng gently placed the unconscious Xia Xiaoman on the sofa, while Li Youhe helped her tidy up the room.

After tidying up the unwashed clothes and busying herself for a while, she carefully sniffed herself.

She frowned cutely.

"Jiang Sheng"

"ah."

"I want to take a shower."

"I'll plug my ears and just imagine what it's like for you to take a shower."

Li Youhe glanced at him, stuck her tongue out at him, and then turned her back to Jiang Sheng, lifting her hair with both hands.

"I asked you to find something to help me put my hair up in a bun."

Looking over, Jiang Sheng could see Li Youhe's snow-white neck revealed after she lifted her hair, with a few playful strands of hair occasionally falling down. Jiang Sheng regretted that he wasn't a vampire.

He found a chopstick in the kitchen and helped Li Youhe put her hair up in a bun.

When the sound of running water slowly came from the bathroom, Jiang Sheng laughed and said, "Then I'll cover my ears."

Receiving no reply, he pursed his lips and looked at Xia Xiaoman, who was snoring on the sofa.

Jiang Sheng crossed his arms and tilted his head to think.

Xia Xiaoman is an actress, but someone as beautiful as her shouldn't be living in such dire straits.

And her acting skills... judging from "After get off work", seem pretty good too.

There must be something fishy going on here. Jiang Sheng felt his "curiosity antenna" had already stood up.

After thinking it over, he went to see Xia Xiaoman again.

But he discovered that the girl had opened her eyes without him noticing, and was blinking as she looked at Jiang Sheng.

"The drunkard's awake..."

Before Jiang Sheng could finish speaking, Xia Xiaoman suddenly sprang up, pounced on him, and pinned him to the sofa.

She straddled him and lay on his chest.

thump thump—

Jiang Sheng could feel her burning heartbeat.

Her eyes narrowed slightly as she unbuttoned her shirt, making it immediately visible.

"Hey, Jiang Sheng."

"exist."

Am I pretty?

"Absolutely beautiful."

As Xia Xiaoman spoke, she nuzzled her kitten-like face against his chest: "Would you want to do it with me?"

"I think about it occasionally."

I need to look at you, to see myself as a burning flame, to make every cell in my body yearn for you.

Then slowly move closer.

Xia Xiaoman leaned down and breathed hot air into Jiang Sheng's ear.

"So... shall we come?"
