The time of the city

Lively drum beats, noisy crowds, dim lights, and clinking wine glasses.

Ni Jiamu kept pouring wine into his mouth. He was in such a depressed mood that no amount of wine could dispel it. All he could think about was Mo Yu's words: "I don't want to stay by your side forever. I wish you would never come back."

Bai Jinwei on the side tried to dissuade him, "Amu, you called us here and you just drank alone without saying anything. If you have any troubles, tell us brothers so that we can help you solve them."

"Yeah, Amu, stop drinking. We won't be sending you back later." Ji Lin, who was sitting on the right side of Ni Jiamu, snatched the bottle of wine from his hand and put it away.

Ni Jiamu didn't say anything, but just took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the pile of wine bottles on the table, posted a Weibo and took a look.

"Jia Mu, have you become addicted to posting on Weibo recently? Are you giving up being a CEO and becoming an internet celebrity? I didn't expect that an old man like you is so popular." K leaned against Bai Jinwei and smiled as if he was asking for a beating.

"I just want more people to see it." Ni Jiamu said lightly.

Seeing that Ni Jiamu was in a really bad mood, everyone stopped talking to him and just let him go.

"Why don't we call a few female companions to liven up the atmosphere?" Bai Jinwei suggested.

"No, no, no, I have turned over a new leaf and become a new man." K bit the straw and waved his hands quickly. He didn't even dare to drink today. He wanted to wait for Song Fei to get off the night shift and pick her up.

"What about Jiamu?" Bai Jinwei turned to Ni Jiamu and asked.

"Jin Wei, are you out of your mind? Everyone knows that our Jiamu is not interested in women. He is 28 years old and still a virgin. Even Brother Lin, a taciturn guy who stays in the laboratory every day, is in love. Hey..." K glanced at Ni Jiamu and didn't dare to say anything else.

"Call me." Ni Jiamu glanced at his phone and spoke dejectedly.

Not long after, several women with excellent figures staggered open the door of their private room. Seeing this, K and Ji Lin silently stepped aside. If it were him, he would have had more fun than anyone else.

One of the female companions, named Lili, sat next to Ni Jiamu with a colorful cocktail in her hand. She tried to attract his attention with her graceful figure, but Ni Jiamu didn't even look at her and just drank the wine in the glass.

Bai Jinwei was joking with the two female companions beside him, K was sitting obediently on the sofa drinking juice, and Ji Lin was looking at the experimental report on his mobile phone.

Lili was not discouraged when she saw Ni Jiamu was not taking the initiative. She was the beauty of the Zara bar who had charmed many men. "Mr. Ni, why don't you look at me?"

A charming voice sounded in his ears, and Ni Jiamu turned around and smiled, "What are you looking at?"

Seeing a smile on Ni Jiamu's face, Lili curled the corners of her lips and sat closer to him, taking off her shoes and rubbing her bare feet on his trouser legs.

That wasn't enough. She saw that Ni Jiamu was a rich man, and she wanted to seduce him into bed. "Mr. Ni, have a drink." She handed over the wine glass with her lipstick mark on it.

Ni Jiamu took it and drank the wine with the lipstick mark on his mouth.

Mo Yu was lying on the bed, browsing her phone. It was already past twelve o'clock, and Ni Jiamu hadn't come back yet. She thought he must be staying outside.

Leng Xiyan's footsteps could be heard upstairs and downstairs. She was very worried about Ni Jiamu, but she didn't have his phone number, so she could only worry.

Mo Yu was really upset. She walked out of the room and called out to Leng Xiyan who was about to go downstairs, "Sister Xiyan, it's getting late. You should go to bed early."

"Xiaoyu, please give Jiamu a call. He seems particularly angry today, and he hasn't come back yet at this late hour."

"My brother should be busy at work, he'll be fine. If he doesn't come back, I'll call him."

After getting the reply, Leng Xiyan nodded and walked towards the room.

Mo Yu also returned to her room and continued to lie on the bed. Lin Xiao sent her a WeChat message saying that she had tagged a lot of things on Weibo and showed them to her.

Mo Yu couldn't sleep either, so she opened her Weibo and started checking it out. Among the new updates of the people she followed, she naturally saw the Weibo post by Ni Jiamu. It turned out that he had gone to the bar. Mo Yu quickly scrolled past it without stopping.

Lili and Ni Jiamu drank a lot of wine. When faced with her questions, he would sometimes respond with a sentence or two, but most of the time he just drank. Seeing that it was getting late, K pulled Ji Lin out of the bar.

Bai Jinwei was worried about Ni Jiamu staying. Lili continued to pour the wine, rubbing her chest against Ni Jiamu's arm from time to time. "Mr. Ni, how much money does your family have?"

"You're quite honest," Ni Jiamu sneered, "at least tens of billions."

After hearing what Ni Jiamu said, Lili's pupils trembled. Had she met Bill Gates' son? Forget tens of billions, she couldn't even come up with tens of thousands of yuan.

She drank even harder with Ni Jiamu. In the end, Ni Jiamu was really drunk, with a dazed look in his eyes. Lili saw that the time had come and sat directly in his arms, burying her head in his neck.

"Get out of here." Ni Jiamu pushed away Lili who was hanging on him, took off his coat with extreme disgust and threw it on the ground because it was stained with the smell of women's cheap perfume.

Lili wanted to move forward, but Bai Jinwei said, "Let's go quickly. It will be scary if Amu gets angry." Lili thought about it and was persuaded to give up.

Around two o'clock, Mo Yu's phone rang. It was Ni Jiamu calling.

"Hello brother," Mo Yu quickly answered and put the phone to her ear.

"Are you Amu's sister Moyu? Amu is drunk. Can you come and pick him up? What is the address?"

"Don't tell me, I know where it is."

Mo Yu picked up the car keys and slowly drove to the Zara bar. This was her first time driving after getting her driver's license after the college entrance examination. Her hands were sweaty from nervousness, but fortunately there were not many cars at night.

When she arrived at the door of the bar, Mo Yu remembered the danger she encountered last time she went to the bar and didn't dare to stay for too long and walked in directly.

Mo Yu made her way through the frenzied crowd, shrouded in flashing lights and shimmering music, and found the private room where Ni Jiamu was staying. She opened the door, and the air was filled with the stench of alcohol, which made her cough several times.

"You're finally here. Look, your brother is drunk as a pile of mud." Mo Yu followed Bai Jinwei's finger and looked at Ni Jiamu who was sleeping on the sofa.

With Bai Jinwei's help, Mo Yu put Ni Jiamu in the back seat of the car. Ni Jiamu hummed occasionally along the way, but he was very quiet.

After arriving home, Mo Yu opened the car door and Leng Xiyan rushed out excitedly, "Xiao Yu, Jia Mu is back? Why is he so drunk?"

"Sister Xiyan, are you still awake? Please help me get my brother into the room."

The two men supported the staggering Ni Jiamu as they walked upstairs. Both of them were petite, and it was a bit difficult for them to meet a tall man like Ni Jiamu, who was only 18cm tall.

I don’t know if he was seeking revenge for what happened in the afternoon, but he pressed his entire body on Mo Yu and helped him into the room. Mo Yu felt like she was half dead.

"Sister Xiyan, you go to sleep. I'll take care of this place." Leng Xiyan glanced at Ni Jiamu who was sleeping soundly on the bed, then turned around and went back to the room.

"Why do men drink when they get angry?" Mo Yu said to herself.

She took off Ni Jiamu's shoes, covered him with the quilt, and was about to go out when he grabbed her, opened his eyes, looked at her for a long time, and said, "I want to take a shower."

"Brother, bear with it and wash it tomorrow."

"No, I'm going to take a shower." Ni Jiamu kicked the covers aside, climbed out of bed, and stumbled into the bathroom. Mo Yu, trembling with fear, pressed against the bathroom door, listening for the noises inside. Someone uninformed would probably think she was a voyeur.

After more than ten minutes, the bathroom door opened and Ni Jiamu came out wrapped in a bath towel, his upper body naked.

Don’t look at what is inappropriate, Mo Yu quickly covered her eyes.

"Help me put on my pajamas."

"Brother, put it on yourself."

"If you make me angry, you have to help me put on the pajamas. Come here." Ni Jiamu pulled Mo Yu over and threw the pajamas into her hands.

Mo Yu closed her eyes and put her pajamas on him carelessly, buttoning several buttons incorrectly. After Ni Jiamu put on his pants himself, he pulled Mo Yu to sit on the bed.

Ni Jiamu still looked very confused, staring at the pajamas and asked, "When did I buy pajamas of this style? Why are the two sides different lengths?"

"Brother, this is a new style, it looks good." Mo Yu smiled secretly. She felt that the drunk Ni Jiamu was easy to fool.

"Xiao Yu, do you know how sad I am today? My heart is almost broken." Ni Jiamu put Mo Yu's hand on his chest. Mo Yu could clearly hear the sound of his heart beating violently.

She quickly stretched her hand back and said, "Brother, your heart is not broken. It's fine and is beating well."

"Do you think I'm a child? I'll die if my heart stops beating. You wish I wouldn't beat, right?" Ni Jiamu's face was red. Although he was angry now, he didn't have the scary feeling that he had in the afternoon. Instead, he looked a little cute.

"Okay, okay, brother, you're drunk, go to sleep. I'm sorry I shouldn't have made you angry."

"Sleep with me." Ni Jiamu pulled her down and lay down too.

"Brother, I can't do it." Mo Yu supported herself on the bed and tried to get up.

"Sleep well and don't talk." Ni Jiamu hugged Mo Yu tightly, her head buried in his neck, and she could even smell the faint scent of shower gel on his body.

"Brother, let me up." Mo Yu continued to struggle.

"Don't make me angry anymore, go to sleep." After a while, Ni Jiamu's breathing sounds were heard and he fell asleep.

Perhaps because it was too late, Mo Yu also closed her eyes.
