Chapter 202 I'm Sorry

This is not a noble love. It’s based on the desire of flesh and beautiful women.

I’m probably just that kind of person.

The Platonic love actually refers to the spiritual love between gay men. It has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women.

The pure spiritual love which detached from the desire of flesh has nothing to do with me. I’ve always wanted a love that can blend both mind and body.

I like pretty women especially.

I tried hard to forget everything in my mind about Xin Wen and to drank with Ayue and Mr. Cai joyfully.

We drank a lot of wine that night. We didn’t leave until the boss was about to close the restaurant and impatiently urged us to leave several times.

Ayue staggered to open the door of the car but he was stopped by me. He was so drunk that he might kill all of us if he drove.

Mr. Cai stopped a passing taxi. He pulled the driver out of the taxi and pushed him into the driver’s seat of the Benz. Then he took out three bills to the driver and asked him to be the designated driver to send us back.

Probably saw that we have a Benz, the taxi driver thought three hundred baht is too little. He said he wanted one thousand baht. Then Ayue pulled his collar and threatened him and the driver started the car to send us to the hotel obediently.

In fact, the restaurant is not far from the hotel. It costs less than three hundred baht.

When I went back to the hotel, it’s 3 o’clock in the morning. When I passed the door of Wendy’s room, I stopped subconsciously. I looked at the door for a few moments and smiled for no apparent reason, and then I went back to my room.

After a cold shower, I sobered up. Lying in bed, I opened my phone and saw a message from Wendy.

It reads, “I’m sorry.”

I looked at the message and was silent for a long time. Instead of replying, I threw my phone at the head of the bed and closed my eyes to sleep.

I had a lot of dreams and dreamed about a lot of women that night.

I dreamed that Wendy was walking down the hotel corridor in a black and white professional dress. I followed her, staring at the view of her back. Her fitted shirt and skirt serve as a foil to her attractive figure.

Suddenly she turned and smiled at me, and then she waved her hand.

I blinked and her figure disappeared as if she has never been there.

I also dreamed about Xin. She was walking on the beach in a plain pale blue dress. She passed by me, but she turned a blind eye to me. She just lowered her head with a smile on her face and tread on the white spindrift under her feet.

Before I knew it, I dreamed about The Pae Gate. A figure of youthful vitality shuttled through the sun and water. With a bright and sweet smile, it flied further and further like a butterfly.

At last, I dreamed about Luoshui Lin. “Let’s break up.” She said to me expressionlessly.

Those once innocent eyes were so cold and heartless.

I went back and forth between these women over and over again, but none of them stayed with me, not even for a second.

Gradually, I felt very uncomfortable. My chest seemed to be blocked by something. I wanted to shout out and blow out the strangled things in my chest.

Suddenly, I sat up from the bed. I only saw the TV across the bed and the white and clean wall.

There was a lot of sticky eye discharge around the corners of my eyes.

I took a few deep breaths to get my breath back. Then I rubbed my bloated head.

I looked at my phone on the head of the bed and found it’s just after 8 o’clock. Then I got out of bed and staggered into the bedroom in my slippers. Because I drank too much beer, I wanted to piss and there was a lot of sticky eye discharge around the corners of my eyes.

I went to pee and washed my face in the hand washing sink to clean the eye discharge. Then I looked up at myself in the mirror.

Years didn’t leave too mush marks on my face, but my eyes seemed to be a lot deeper.

I went back to my room and threw myself into bed to continue to sleep.

From that day on, I didn’t have to go to work anymore and I could make a lie in.

I was so sleepy and my head was so dizzy, but I couldn’t fall asleep.

In desperation, I turned on the TV and tuned in to the news channel. It took me a long time to fall asleep again after being distracted by the host’s monotonous voice and the boring news.

When I woke up again, it’s already eleven o’clock.

I rolled around in bed a few times and then dressed and washed my face and rinsed my mouth. I made a phone call to Ayue and learned that they had been sitting in the hall of hotel waiting for me.

I went to the hall to meet Ayue and Mr. Cai. I asked them to take me around to see where I could find a suitable apartment to rent.

I had to find a house to live in. Since the Sea Smart Software Company pays for the hotel and I am no longer an employee of it, I couldn’t live in the hotel anymore.

After driving around for a while, I got a call from Mingqiang Du. The first thing he said is, “Were you all right last night?”

“I’m fine.” I said. In fact, I didn’t know whether he was asking about Zhengrong Gong or about Wendy.

“That’s ok if you have no trouble. Are you free later? How about have a meal together?” Mingqiang said.

“I’m free anytime. I didn’t have breakfast. Where shall we meet?” I said.

“Didn’t you have breakfast? Did you get up late?” Mingqiang asked.

“Yes, I don’t work for the Sea Smart Software Company, so I went to have a late-night snack with Ayue and Mr. Cai last night. I slept in this morning?” I said.

“You don’t work for the Sea Smart Software Company?” Mingqiang said in surprise.

“Yes.” I said.

“Why?” Mingqiang asked.

“It’s a long story. Let’s talk about it when we meet.” I said.

“OK.” Mingqiang said.

Mingqiang then told me an address and I asked Ayue to drive me there. It didn’t take long to get there.

This is an isolated but elegantly decorated restaurant. All the waiters are dressed in traditional Thai clothes. It doesn’t seem to be low in grade.

Mingqiang was already waiting for me in the private room. His driver and another man sat at a table outside the private room. Ayue and Mr. Cai can’t eat with me at the same table, so they went to sit with those two people outside the private room and began to order.

I pushed the door open and saw Mingqiang and a waiter ordering. No one else was there.

“Tom, you’ve come just at the right moment. What would you like to eat?” Mingqiang gave me the menu and said.

I pushed the menu back to him. “Whatever will do. I’m not picky about food.” I shook my head and said.

Mingqiang ordered some dishes at will. After the waiter went out of the room, he asked doubtfully, “You don’t look very energetic. What’s wrong with your job?”

“I lost my love, and of course I lost my job.” I said with a light smile. Then I poured myself a cup of tea.

“You lost your love?” Mingqiang was stunned and said. Then he held back his smile and said, “What’s the matter? Tell me about it to make me happy.”

I gave a brief account of what had happened, but I didn’t mention the kiss with Wendy in the pavilion when it rained.
