Chapter 8 7. Stay safe

In Ada and the others' minds, going to the dressing room is a big deal.After telling her boyfriend that she was going to the dressing room, she walked across the dance floor to the hallway.It takes a few minutes from here to push past the dressing room marked "For Ladies".The joy of coming to the club for the weekend can be condensed in minutes. —A group of men with nothing to do chatted against the wall of the corridor.When the beautifully decorated woman passed by, their eyes moved towards the direction of the girl walking together, and the next period of time focused on the girl.At that time, they would not call out until a short time later, when the girl came out of the dressing room, and the men were no longer silent.Someone whistles, someone mumbles something appreciative, then approaches the girl and strikes up a conversation.Therefore, the degree of curiosity in the man's gaze when he first walked to the dressing room was evidence of the attractiveness of the girl that night.

For a few minutes, the woman felt more nervous than when she was seated with a male companion.They don't have to care about the mood of their male partners, but they can fully enjoy the sight of men. Ada felt content in the dressing room.As she stood in front of the mirror to brush her messy hair, a strange woman tapped her on the shoulder, asked, "Isn't it great tonight?" and left.Beside her is her friend Sheila, sitting on the sofa reapplying her makeup.Sheila was in a bad mood.If a man doesn't cast lustful eyes on her, her mood will be depressed.It was the same with Ada, but the dress that was slit down to her thighs seemed to be very effective. When she pushed open the door of the dressing room, many eyes stared blatantly at her back.

The spacious dressing room is full of women who are desperate for such things.The conversation between the women there is almost the same as that of the men. Hey, do you see that man standing at the entrance holding a wine glass?what happened?It's what I noticed first.Well, are you going to sleep with him today?Oh, I don't want to be called a bitch when I first met.What does it matter!Has anyone slept with that guy?Yes, me.aha!what's the result?One embroidered pillow, not good at all, small and premature.Shit, forget it!Yes, it’s not worth the candle.Hey, did you see what Jackie was wearing?What is she wearing today?Very gorgeous.That bitch thinks she's Angela Beaufill!Hey, I wish I could kill her, son of a bitch, sleeping with my man!really?Fuck that stinky bitch!

"I hate Jackie." "It's me! She sleeps with my Percy, too." Sheila was busy pinning bobby pins into her hair.These women were heartbroken about someone sleeping with someone, and Ada, who had just married a few months ago, felt a little envious, and had already marked the end of this nightlife and announced her marriage.Her husband is so romantic yet mature.She was content with the peaceful life of the couple, but when he accompanied her to the club, her main concern was still going to the dressing room. Sheila's makeup is almost never finished.Ada thought of her husband who sat alone in his seat and waited, so she said goodbye to Sheila and walked out of the dressing room.

All the men stared at Ada's body.She pretended not to notice those gazes and walked forward consciously of the movement of her hips. "What a punctual girl!" "Hi, are you alone?" Voices calling "Hi, Niuer" came and went.Adaxiu experienced the pleasure beyond the relationship between herself and her husband.It has been a long time since she used the advanced skills of using these sounds one by one, but pretending that there is something wrong with her ears.The expression of raising her head high, but her eyes are sweeping to the ground, is also what she studied carefully in front of the mirror before going out in the past.

"Hi, Ada. Your husband seems lonely." Jennella's hair was tied in a braid with beads at the end.It is said that it takes twenty-four hours to braid all her long hair.It's not worth spending so much time with so many men who are not fixed.Ada was not in the mood.The correct statement should be that she used to have it, but now she would rather spend time lazily in bed with a man.In the past, she chose her clothes as carefully as Zhenrila or Sheila, and when she came to the club, she warmed up with a somewhat exaggerated cocktail.They have long been looking forward to the most exciting event with men arguing for themselves, so every weekend must cause a commotion.

Ada was a little nervous when she encountered this situation, but Sheila said leisurely, "I like strong people. If you can't win, don't even try to get me." This kind of language provokes men.She considers herself the most special and wanton woman in the whole club. "You don't come out very often recently, which makes us less interested. We're all bumpkins. Jesse misses you too." "Jessie coming too?" "You didn't see him? He was in the middle of the record." "Forget it, I've retired from that group." "Oh, we also think it's time to wash our hands and quit, but unfortunately we can't find a good man. You are very good at it, and you pick a good man to marry. Everyone is very surprised. Just heard you mentioned it, and found it immediately object."

"uh-huh." Ada and Jennella went back to the seat where her husband was waiting, gave him a kiss, pulled the chair, and said in a low voice: "Could you get me an iced tea?" The so-called "ice tea" is a sweet liquor.In the past, when she wanted to arouse a man's interest, she half-forced him to drink this wine.Now, what she wants to stir up is her own interest. "OK baby." Ada looked at the neckline of her husband's white shirt, which was a little too tight.I am one of those people.She experiences a deep joy in the sympathy of those around her.I don't know how many men looked at him and would jump their feet out of envy?She felt a sense of fullness.Why did Ada marry this man?Because this man loves me doubly and deeply in a place that others can't see.Do you know how much better it feels to be loved than to love someone?Ever since Ada got acquainted with him, she has settled down.Like the surface of a pond in a distant park, her heart was rippling with serenity.

"Look at that Japanese woman." Hearing Zhenruella's words, Ada looked towards the dance floor.A Japanese girl with long hair is dancing with a black man.The two held each other tightly as if they had just met each other, trying to get to know each other through dancing. "That's great!" Ada said. "A black man, there should be a woman who is more suitable for him. How can the nearest man stick to that kind of woman? Look at those thin lips! There is no interest in making love at all. Black men are especially for our thick lips." After getting married, Ada no longer cared what kind of women other men were with.She just listened in bewilderment to Zhen Ruila's tone of distaste for other women.

"Your friends are all wild. I don't agree with you. It's a good thing you're not like that." When Zhen Rui pulled behind the bar, her husband said in a low voice.He didn't know that Ada used to have that kind of virtue.He was a little embarrassed.Her friends, who saw her husband as a "non-me" and rarely talked to each other, now behaved like him—except for the brief moments when she left her seat to go to the dressing room. Sheila came back from the dressing room.This time she seemed content, and there were probably many men attracted to her.After she sat down, she began to fidget. When Ada asked her, she refused to give the reason.The waitress didn't come for a long time, so Ada's husband went straight to the bar to buy drinks.Sheila couldn't wait to lean out to cover the volume of the surrounding noises, and said into Ada's ear: "Just now a strange man suddenly grabbed my arm and asked me if I was Ada's friend. I said yes , he wants to. Take you outside."

"What kind of person is that?" "It's just because I don't know that I'm surprised. I should know all the men you're with. He's a nice guy with big pierced gold earrings. When did you know him? He wasn't People here." "Earrings? Could it be Jessie playing the records?" "If it's Jesse, would I not know him?" Ada thought for a while, but couldn't come up with a clue.Beautiful men with pierced ears and earrings used to be all around her. "Go and have a look. He wants me to call you out no matter what. He whispered in my ear, ah, that charming smell!" Ada couldn't help feeling curious.His husband was talking to friends at a crowded bar.So she stood up. She came into the hallway unprepared, bathed in the sight of men, and felt so stupid.She hurriedly straightened her back, raised her chin slightly, and assumed a pose known as "fake nobility".At this moment, she and the man faced each other face to face. "Nan, Aida, are you safe?" She was too surprised to make a sound.Why did Rodney appear in this kind of place?He is the boyfriend Ada left behind when she bid farewell to her long "life outside".To get rid of him is to get rid of the vivid, arrogant, and charming accumulation of life in the past. "I miss you very much, and I will never forget you." "How will you be here?" "Occasionally, I also want to get some fresh air outside my own territory. To be honest, I mainly come to see you who moved here for activities. I hope that the special woman who left me will feel sad." Rodney was wearing a black suit of good material. In the past, he was not badly dressed, except for the gold glitter on his earlobes.The corners of the mouth, which are habitually tilted to one side, are tightly closed, and the conversation is very pleasant.But in the past, as long as he opened his mouth, he would spit out dirty words that Ada couldn't understand (such as calling his home his old nest, etc.).In the past, he often looked at people with contemptuous eyes, but now he lowered his eyelids and looked at her. "you've changed." Ada finally squeezed out the words. "There are also some things that haven't changed, Ada, Ada, only you know that." "I don't know many women." Rodney was silent.She also closed her mouth and looked down, and the white sneakers on his feet came into view. "That's probably the only thing that hasn't changed?" Rodney winked and laughed. "Does your husband love you very much?" "yes." He bowed his head and sighed.Still tall, Ada thought, still personable.He was more shy than before with her, which added to the allure of his sexy body.At last he was a little overwhelmed, but soon he made up his mind and hugged her.Ada, aware of the gaze around her, pushed Rodney's chest away, but he didn't move.This he has never changed.She smelled the body heat oozing from his skin, and the aroma of the alcohol contained in the perfume that evaporated from his body temperature.When she finally broke free, he showed a very regretful expression. "I should also be qualified to be poor." He remembered everything she had said, and Ada felt her breathing come heavy.She began to regret her conceit. He was younger than herself, didn't know much about the world, and didn't understand what a so-called woman was.Only the flesh rests.And in that situation, what did I teach him?All kinds of memories floated in Ada's heart, sweet and bitter like chocolate, making her heart heavy. "Ada." Rodney kissed her cheek. "Come on to the T block after it's closed. Give me a day and be a slacker, okay?" Slacker was the word Ada used to insult him in the past.She was moved by his memory.But "slacker"?Ada was flustered.want me to push?What is it promoting again? "T Zone, you must come!" Rodney raised his index finger and dropped these words, and he was in the crowd in front of the bar, never showing any expression of knowing Ada. When she returned to her seat, Sheila and Zhenrila had brought their male companions and sat on the seat with his husband. "Who is he?" Sheila whispered in Ada's ear while she was sitting down. "A man I knew before." Ada replied. "Hey, why don't I know? When did it happen?" "Before these few people." Sheila couldn't help looking at Ada's husband.As if he didn't hear, he whispered that he didn't know what they were talking about. "I have nothing to do with him anymore." She recalled the fragrance condensed in the space enclosed by Rodney's thick arms.Sheila and the others seriously discussed why Ada broke up with such a wonderful man and married this husband.After hearing this, he gradually felt depressed, and his firm belief was slowly shaken. Her husband took her hand unexpectedly and brought her back to her senses.Her anxiety seemed to be transmitted through that hand, and her body trembled slightly. "Is it cold?" her husband asked her. I am protected and this is what we pray for.Ada shook her husband's hand back. Her husband's hand was big and gentle, and there was nothing strange about it.This is what I want, she told herself.However, Rodney's voice and breath aroused Ada's desire for the old life. When she and Rodney first met, he was like a dog, no matter how she drove him away, he always stuck behind her.She and her friends ran away feeling bad, but he took a shortcut and waited for her. "Why are you following me?" Ada asked. "I want to be with you," he replied. Ada's female companion couldn't help laughing. "I'm going to stay at her house tonight. If you come with me, what should I do?" "I'll stay here too." Her thick skin made Ada dumbfounded.The female partner smiled and said, "It's okay, but don't be a rogue, or make a clean room dirty." "You'll never find a man as clean as I am." Tired of acting like a narrow girl, Ada agreed.Because I ran a long way just now.Feet started to ache.She took off her three-inch, obnoxious shoes, and Rodney held out his hands. "I'll get your shoes for your accommodation." Three people were walking on the sidewalk late at night.After taking off the high heels, Rodney looked strangely tall in Ada's eyes. After entering the female partner's apartment, the female partner immediately climbed into bed. "You sleep on the floor," Ada told Rodney, and then got into the bed of her companion herself.Rodney was tossing and turning on the floor fidgeting with a copper plate, when suddenly he grabbed Ada's arm that was protruding from the bed and pulled her to the floor.She resisted silently, but Rodney held her tightly, warming her once barefooted on the sidewalk.Do you want to let it empty on a night of drinking?Aida simply went all out. Ada didn't want to wake up her girlfriend on the bed, so she closed her lips tightly.Rodney, too, only let out a sigh now and then to show his error, but actually played with her body very skillfully.Her relationship with Rodney began when Ada hoped to be desperate, and the two were alone on the bed screaming loudly and shaking the bed. Rodney always showed a calm proof that nothing could disturb him.The posture of smoking, the posture of leaning against the bar, and even the gestures of tipping or ordering, all make Ada feel the strong sense of aesthetics exuded by him.His sense of beauty falls somewhere between elegance and obscenity.Yet it maintains an elegance.The act of eating crab legs in a restaurant is enough to be called a work of boredom.He knocked out the shell with a small mallet, then picked out the meat with his fingers, and then manipulated his fingers majestically, dipping the caught crab meat in sauce.His fingers glistened with the sauce as he rubbed it on the bread and popped it into his mouth.Those who fought with knives and forks and food watched this scene enviously, knowing that they couldn't show Na's sexiness, so they silently allowed him.Ada put the fork on the dining table, speechless, but she could see the elbow, Rodney forced him to ask for it like a child.What he really wanted wasn't crab legs, and she knew that. He was definitely not angry because Ada took other men back. In fact, what he was afraid of was that he would lose his mind because of being angry.After enjoying with the man, when she opened the door to send the man out, there was always a note on the door. "Much quieter than when I was with me", these words were written on the small note.The man who read the note never returned to Ada's apartment.She cursed "shit" bitterly, and at the same time felt safe, telling herself softly: "It's not bad".What he did was completely in his own style, and beyond Ada's expectations, he fell in love with it.He is representative of the nature of the "loose lives" that Ada has lived for many years. One day, she learned from her friend that Rodney was a gigolo and cowherd supported by rich women.Rodney would never mention the word "money" in front of Ada, nor would she ask what kind of business he was doing. On Friday nights when Rodney stopped seeing Ada, she went to a club she seldom went to.It is true that many rich people gathered there, but the people who don't know what is free and easy and refined are making noise like a festival night.There were no women in it who moved around with their hips twitching like Ada's girlfriends.It was there that Ada saw the woman whose unattractive body was adorned with gems, and Rodney sitting beside the woman. For some reason, he was wearing Ada's hat.He is still unrestrained, but the hand holding the cigarette is less exciting. That girl is very fat.Although it is not quite like a pig, there is a ring of fat around the waist, and the thighs under the clothes must be like ham.Ada felt a wave of disgust. She felt betrayed.There was no agreement between the two, but there were always rules—he thought indifferently, the fact that the woman was not beautiful at all seriously hurt her self-esteem.If the woman exuded any charm, he would definitely not be sitting there smoking a cigarette, but walking around in what he thought was a chic gait as usual, swinging his shoulders rhythmically, and at the same time stretching out the buttocks connected to the hips regularly. Long-legged, with one hand grasping between his own legs for no apparent reason.If that was the case, when Ada brushed past him, she would have said half-jokingly, "Your errand is not bad." He actually used the body that hugged me to hug that ugly woman.Ada felt that some part of her firm carcass suddenly sucked in the sewage and began to swell. At the same time, he walked towards Rodney and the woman.Seeing Aida, he looked embarrassed and "sorry". She picked up Rodney's millinery.He looked funny with the marks of his hat in his hair, which he hated the most. After Ada gave him a glance, she walked towards the door with a graceful posture that no one in that place could pose.She found her eye sockets were wet.Behind her, the woman started arguing with Rodney, and then there was the sound of glass breaking.Ada had shattered his face.In fact, Ada also lost face, the only consolation is that no one discovered this. After Rodney broke up, Ida had to realize how important he was to her life.She misses him in her dry bed.Thinking of that man, Rodney, of whom she had seen faces and bodies but not hearts in most of her affairs.Tears inexplicably dripped from her eyes, soaking the pillow.She tried to number the men she had had physical relationships with since she was fifteen years old.Some can't even remember their names, while others' names don't match their looks.What they have in common is that each man does not have a last name.She didn't want that kind of mark-like rattlesnake, but arranged this way, her past became a pile of useless garbage.Fighting the feeling, she racked her brains trying to come up with their full names.This practice was like counting sheep at night, and she fell asleep crying. When she woke up in the morning, she made a decision in her heart that she wanted to put an end to her previous life.Since she made that determination, the first man she fell in love with was her current husband. Her husband gave her a warm rest.She had never known rest before, so she had never been bored.Her body began to get acquainted with him, and gradually merged into one.When she found out how comfortable this blended atmosphere was, she thought about getting married. The day before she moved into her husband's house, while she was unpacking, someone knocked on the door.When she opened the door, Rodney put his hands in his trouser pockets and said "hi" to her.He was dressed like a street kid, with ankle-high white sneakers.The attire made him look extremely endearing, and Ada thought he was a cowherd who wouldn't realize such things. She invited Rodney in, and got a beer from the refrigerator.He looked around the room without saying a word.Just in time for lunch, she started cooking macaroni.Asked about Rodney, he replied that he was hungry. "Do you want to move?" "Yes, I'm getting married." Rodney put his clenched fists on the table and whispered, "I'm sorry," "Because I want to buy a car," he added. "Have you bought it?" Rodney nodded. "Wouldn't that be nice?" "I just want to buy a car." He had a very sad expression on his face.Ada sympathized with him from the bottom of her heart, Rodney looked so pitiful. "You work hard," Ada said. "So I quit." Rodney stood up and hugged Ida tightly.His arm gave him the same feeling, still smelling irresponsible. "I hate being married. It doesn't fit with your people." "Now I'm a good fit." "It's going to be boring." "Being bored is also a comfortable thing. You will not fully understand this." "What kind of man is the other party?" "A person who dotes on me very much." Rodney sat down as if throwing in the towel.He put his hands into his pockets, groped for a while, and finally took out a small box, which was unpacked, and he knew it was a ring box.He took out the ring and put it on for Aida with a little complacency.It was a gold ring with an opal on it.The ring was a little bigger than Ada's finger and would slide off when the finger was down. "What are you sending this kind of thing for?" Ada said, feeling a little sad. "Shit! I should have asked the ring size first." Rodney seemed extremely remorseful.A man who doesn't know a woman's ring size, and a woman who doesn't know a man's last name.Ada felt a lot like Rodney. "I wear size 5, which is thinner than ordinary women." "I see, next time..." "There will be no next time, this finger will wear another ring. He will ask about the size before buying, so it should fit me." Her cooked macaroni was tossed with cream and then topped with a sauce.Rodney sniffed as he ate, and Ida thought it was too spicy and looked up at him, only to find him crying.Seeing that scene, Aida felt sad for no reason.The two ate their macaroni while crying. When the meal was over, the sadness faded, and Rodney returned to his calm demeanor.Wiping his mouth with a tissue, he said: "I like Ada." Ada just smiled.This man is going to be great, for sure.She fully believed in it, and in this way, she could leave the cowboy in peace. Rodney kissed Ada, and his eyes were wet again at that time, but it was like the touch after tasting a good thing. "Next time you buy a ring for a girl, ask about the size first." Ada said. "Tell me when your fingers get fat." Rodney left Ada's apartment with a smile.The way he walked down the stairs was the unique way Ada loved it. T zone.She looked at her husband while he kissed her hair and asked if she was tired.She shook her head, but he rested her head on his shoulders.She traded a cheap, oversized ring for this never-ending retreat. "After the end, shall we go to the T area to eat something?" The husband asked without knowing the entanglement in her heart. "Well……" Cheers sounded.Her eyes turned to the dance floor.Rodney danced so well that everyone folded their arms and admired it.Sheila and Zhenruila wanted to run over there. "Stop dancing, and if you're hungry, I'll make you some soup. There's—lots of vegetables." The husband nodded with satisfaction.Ada felt Hu Jing's happiness, and she found that this happy atmosphere was the same as the atmosphere Rodney felt when he had lunch with her. "I should be qualified too." Ada understood the meaning of what Rodney had said to her in the dressing room.Lovely man, if I can see him again, this time she should calmly ask: "Hi! Are you all right?"
