Macao in October, not very cold, Dennis wouldn’t let me show my shoulders and gave me a blazer over my bare-shoulder dress, Brady was outside the cruise ship holding a glass of wine and probably wondering what to think to Ho-Han outside.
I stood behind him, quietly looking at him, but also looking at the endless sea and the starry sky, he probably noticed someone behind him, turned back towards me and looked over, see me, but some surprise.
He raised his eyebrows and raised his glass in his hand towards me, “Why do you have time to come out? Your Mr. George isn’t pestering you anymore?”
I smiled lightly, walked over to him and said lightly, “He has his own work to do!”
He nodded and looked at the sea in the distance, probably because the night view was so beautiful that it made him look less obnoxious than usual, and he spoke, “Have you ever looked up at a luxury liner from a raft?”
I flinched slightly and shook my head, “No, there’s no way for a bamboo raft to travel far out on the ocean, and no way for a luxury liner to land in a pond, so there’s no way for them to meet, much less look up.”
He smiled lightly and looked at me sideways, “There’s always that one in a million chance!”
I shrugged my shoulders, “Maybe!”
“I’ve seen it, and at that time I thought, if there was a chance to turn the tide in this life, I would definitely change my fate against the sky and make myself stand on a cruise ship overlooking the river and the sea!” He squinted slightly at the vast ocean and spoke, “I did it, and now it’s as good as it gets.”
I drank the little wine left in my glass and spoke, “But not as happy as I thought, are you?”
He suddenly burst out laughing and looked at me, “Do you think it’s a TV show? I reached the top, standing in the dream position, I realized what I wanted, how can I not be happy? Don’t listen to those successful people’s so-called envy of poor people’s family friendship love, in fact, the rich people’s love friendship is worthy of envy, we can do whatever we want to like the woman we want, what’s wrong with that!”
I shrugged my shoulders, didn’t refute his words, looked at the city that was getting farther and farther away from the shore, and couldn’t help but speak, “So what are you lamenting?”
He narrowed his eyes at me and smiled arrogantly, “Of course it’s to find something to talk about with you once ah, I heard that you and I are similar, so I can’t help but want to find some common language with you.”
“What aspect are you referring to?” Come to think of it, I don’t seem to bear much resemblance to him!
He leaned on the railing and spoke, “Growing up, I lived with my mother when I was very young, her job was not decent, so my existence was also scorned, people, always like to stand on the moral high ground to hurt the weak, I used to think, if one day stand on the high ground, I will make those who have hurt me, a hundred times back, now, it seems that I can Do it.”
I frowned, pursed my lips at him, and spoke, “You shouldn’t lump me in with you, my upbringing wasn’t as bad as you think, so there’s absolutely no need for you to find common ground in me, I don’t want to have anything in common with you, nor do I want to comfort you about your supposedly sad or wretched childhood.”
He didn’t care and said lightly, “It doesn’t matter, I didn’t intend for you to be able to comfort me, I just found someone less annoying to express my emotions, but I’m much better now.”
Brady this person is a contradictory synthesis, I shrugged my shoulders, did not intend to stay with him more, a beautiful girl with a glass of wine slender walk, looking at him light smile, the most important thing at the reception is the beauty.
Brady seems to enjoy the feeling of being actively accosted by a beautiful woman, did not refuse the beautiful woman’s accost, but directly wrapped his arm around the woman’s waist, ambiguously blew in the woman’s ear, his voice teasing, “Baby, I’m a comer!”
The beautiful woman smiled enchantingly, “No harm, we each take what we need!”
Watching them leave with their arms around each other, I frowned slightly, the world of adults, money and love, seemingly intertwined, and seemingly separate from each other.
When I entered the banquet hall, Dennis finished talking with someone, and when he saw me enter, he came towards me with a smile, “It’s windy outside, what are you doing out there?”
I smiled lightly, “Look at the view!”
He raised his hand and slid it over my nose and spoke, “Come on, got a good show for you.”
I raised my eyebrows, “It’s not a shock, is it?”
“To check it out?” He didn’t explain and dragged me up to the top VIP cabin.
Took me into a passenger cabin, just inside, there was the sound of women’s voices rising and falling, and the sound of men’s ragged panting.
The corners of my mouth twitched and I subconsciously looked at Dennis to see that he only frowned slightly and spoke, “Mr. Jenks is so elegant!”
It’s Brady and the woman from earlier.
Brady’s gruff voice came, without any regard for Dennis and I were still outside, and said, “Mr. George, wait a moment.” This is said, like eating and drinking water.
Dennis frowned and pulled me to go, but two men came in the door, two men in black racked a somewhat wretched man in.
The man was left on the ground, bruised and swollen, it looked like he had been beaten up. I looked closely at the man and could not help but frown, I knew this man, it was Bobby.
Bobby was thrown on the ground, some confused look around, see Dennis, also do not care about the male and female voice inside, hugged Dennis and said, “Mr. George, I was wrong, please, do not kill me, you let me do anything, do not kill me! ”
Brady’s voice came from inside, “Holy crap, I can’t even run a little errand, what the fuck is all this noise about?” He was still wearing his big pants, his shirt just over his body, still buttoned up, a cynical look from behind the screen, and a grim kick on Bobby as he spoke, “I’m getting tired of the noise.”
Bobby ate pain, but did not dare to say, one kneeling on the ground to admit fault, see the wretched.
I looked at Brady can not help but skim, eyes suddenly black, covered by Dennis eyes, his low voice sounded, “Do not look!”
Then looked at Brady and said, “Put your clothes on before you come out!” The words carried an air of command.
Brady pooh-poohed and said, “What does it matter to you if I wear clothes or not? It’s not like she hasn’t seen it before, so what’s the fear?”
Dennis started that sentence, not cold, but with a few thin words, “Change it!”
Brady was still trying to struggle when Dennis spoke directly, “Do you need me to call someone to help you?”
With that, he raised his hand and two men came in at the door, walked over to Brady and spoke, “Mr. Jenks, I’m sorry.” Brady was then carried behind the screen, followed by Brady’s pig-killing voice.
