Evening Rose

Chapter 23 - Echoing at first sight

After leading me to room 105, elder sister Hong gave me a few instructions and let me in by myself.

Before I pushed open the door, I took a deep breath and tried to adjust my state of mind before carefully knocking on the door.

"Come in."

A sweet female voice rang out. I was stunned for a moment before I pushed open the door to enter.

It was very quiet in the box, not as lively as when I had met with the guests, but it wasn't very bright either. There was only one person sitting in the dark corner.

'Must be the clubhouse! '

"Hello, Sister Piao."

So I've been trembling ever since I came in. Sometimes I hate the weakness in my bones, but I also know that if I want to change, it's not something that can be done in a day.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

He seemed to be drinking before I entered. At this moment, he only gave me an indifferent glance before putting down the wine cup in his hand. His voice was cold as he asked.

She was different from what I had imagined, with her wavy hair hanging down her back and large red lips. Through the dim light, I could vaguely make out her pale face, her pair of bright eyes, and her tight-fitting blouse and jeans. She was dressed very conservatively.

I thought that if someone who didn't know her saw her, they might think she was here to play with men.

At this thought, I was really ashamed of my own thoughts and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

The private room was so quiet that even the slightest sound could be heard. My sudden laughter quickly disturbed Wandering. She looked at me blankly. Her eyebrows were tightly-knit, as if she was displeased.

Only then did I realize that I had lost my composure. I hurriedly waved my hands and shook my head. Naturally, I did not dare to say my thoughts out loud, "It's nothing. I've come to find you just to ask if you can be my backer? "

"Pfft!"

I don't know what went wrong with my words. Wandering couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then, he burst into uncontrollable laughter without caring about his image.

I didn't know what she was laughing about, and yet she was so unbridled that I felt my cheeks burn when I saw her.

"Why are you so cute?"

When she finally stopped laughing, I received a reply like that.

I was innocent and speechless, but the atmosphere in the room was stifled by her laughter.

"Did I say something wrong?"

I looked at Wandering and asked her with a puzzled expression.

Wandering shrugged. He walked over and affectionately held my hand before letting me sit beside her. "You're right. This is the first time I've seen someone look for someone to support me. They're not doing anything, they're so straightforward."

After she said that, I immediately understood why she was laughing so shamelessly. I couldn't help but feel embarrassed and wanted to explain, "That … It's not like that …"

"What's that?"

Wandering raised his eyebrows. His rhetorical question rendered me speechless. I could only pause for a moment before asking, "Then tell me, what do you need me to do?"

I don't know why, but in front of the floating face, I don't have the previous fear of some people, instead, I feel very relaxed.

'Perhaps it is because she is too approachable … '

When Wandering heard my words, he shook his head with sincerity. "I don't need anything."

I know this very well. So when I heard Wandering say that, I didn't feel too disappointed. I just felt bad for the introduction fee.

"Alright, sorry to bother you."

After thinking about it for a while, I admitted that I couldn't get along with someone like Wandering. Although her first impression was really good, I still faced her. With a sincere smile, I decided to get up and leave.

"Wait a moment."

At this moment, Wandering suddenly called out to me after I got up.

"Anything else?" I looked back at her and saw that she had a faint smile on her lips. Then, she said softly, "I think I need a friend."

I was stunned. I didn't think that Wandering would say that, but looking at her serious expression, it didn't seem like she was lying at all.

"You don't want to?"

I was stunned for too long, so much so that Wandering's expectant gaze immediately dimmed, and his tone returned to its original indifferent state.

"Of course not. I just didn't think that there would be anyone willing to be my friend."

Seeing that he didn't dare to delay any longer, he hurriedly shook his head and denied. He explained the reason to her and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a bitter smile.

Ever since I was young, I've been labeled as a little bitch. Very few people are willing to play with me, let alone my classmates. Even if there were one or two, they'd all come to bully me. Now that he thought about it, he still felt sad in his heart.

"Oh, so it's like that …"

When Wandering heard my words, she put on a look of understanding. If I'm not wrong, I saw a trace of sympathy in her eyes, which made me feel even more bitter.

Just as he was thinking about telling her I was gone, he heard her say, "Am I not human?"

I know that she is joking. In fact, I was also unable to hold back and really gave her a smile.

This time she did not interrupt me, but laughed along with me.

When she was done laughing, she took my hand and continued inviting me to sit beside her. "I have a good impression of you, and I've been bored lately, so let's just talk."

Wandering was a person who spoke very straightforwardly and generously, which made me feel very comfortable. Furthermore, I didn't have anything on me, so I let myself stay in the room.

When I sat down, we talked casually, but most of the time I just asked, and I answered.

Over time, she seemed to feel a little helpless and also noticed my restraint. She directly told me, "Don't be so nervous. It's not like I'm going to eat you."

Embarrassed, I nodded and agreed. I was happy to continue chatting with her.

Wandering was a very talkative person. I didn't talk much, nor did I know how to talk. I would talk a little more with her, and gradually, the two of them started to chat.

This was how they got to know each other. Furthermore, both of them had the same feeling as if they had met each other at first sight.
