Jealous

On Friday night, it was nearly midnight and the bar was still noisy. Waves of people were leaving and coming in. On the dance floor, there were always people dancing and shouting without tiring.

After finishing their last cup of alcohol, Yu Huan and Chen Yilin had to hold their heads with their hands and they started feeling a bit dizzy.

Yu Huan’s phone vibrated, and the caller ID was the main cause of her drinking

Why would he call her at this time?

On the weekdays, they usually did not call each other except for work related matters. Yu Huan stared at the screen for a few seconds before picking it up. “Is Yilin with you?” Gao Yan’s familiar voice across through.

“Yilin…” Yu Huan suddenly lowered her voice and reached out to pat the person next to her. “Your uncle is looking for you.”

She took the phone off her ear.

The noisy voices and the bar’s distinctive music were heard through the other end of the phone.

Gao Yan frowned and asked, “Where are you?”

Half an hour later, Gao Yan arrived at the bar where Yu Huan and Chen Yilin were.

Noisy music, noisy crowds, clinking glasses and uncontrollable howls of laughter were everywhere.

He struggled to push past many groups of people, and there were some people who shoved themselves against him. He managed to cross the dance floor and finally found Yu Huan and Chen Yilin in the booth next to the stage.

Yu Huan’s face was red. She was slouching against the sofa, frowning slightly, as if she was trying to regain herself with her eyes closed. On the other hand, Chen Yilin had fallen down next to her leg. His head was resting on the back of her hand as if he was asleep.

“Wake up.” Gao Yan walked over and patted Chen Yilin’s face.

“Uncle?” Chen Yilin opened his eyes in a daze. “Why did you come?”

“Your mother called you all night and finally had me find you,” Gao Yan said.

“Oh…” Chen Yilin quickly felt around for his cell phone. “Oh, where’s my cell phone?”

The phone was clearly in his hands, and yet he was still searching everywhere.

Yu Huan opened her eyes to see what was going on and couldn’t stop laughing.

“How much did he drink?” Gao Yan frowned.

“…” Yu Huan looked at the table that had been cleaned up earlier. “Not much, maybe half of the set meal?”

“Did you drink the other half?” Gao Yan turned to look at her.

Although she was drunk, and all of her senses had deteriorated, Yu Huan heard that his tone was somewhat different from his usual one.

Gao Yan helped Chen Yilin to walk out to leave the bar.

His car was parked close by. It was a black Cadillac, with a smooth body frame and the “V” symbol on the front of the car still glowing in the dim light.

Although Chen Yilin was dizzy, he could still recognize his uncle’s car and reached out to open the door.

“Sit in front,” Gao Yan said.

“Oh.” Chen Yilin reluctantly closed the door.

The driver saw that he was drunk, so he quickly came out and supported Chen Yilin from Gao Yan. Then, he opened the passenger door.

Yu Huan waited for Chen Yilin to get in the car before returning the bag she had helped carry. Chen Yilin, however, stuck his head out of the window and said, “Lawyer Yu, you should also get in the car. Let’s give you a ride first.”

Was this him drunk or sober?

Yu Huan was still wondering when Gao Yan had already opened the door for her and said, “Get in the car.”

Yu Huan stooped down and got into the back seat.

As soon as she entered, the driver asked, “Lawyer Yu, where do you live?”

She gave him her neighborhood.

“That’s not far.” The driver repeated her address. “All right. I’ll see you off first, and then change to XX Road from the back of your community to take Xiao Chen home…”

He was planning the route to drive on.

But suddenly, Gao Yan, who opened the door from the other side, interrupted him and said, “Uncle Zhou, let’s take Yilin home first.”
