Chapter7# Bar Flirting

After returning to China, Victor stayed at Mike's house for the past two days. His parents were not at home, and the wedding house was bought separately, so it was just right for the two of them to live here temporarily.

After dinner, the two went out together to pick up a car that Victor Miller had bought before, and it arrived today.

After that, they went to see the progress of the house renovation.

The house was finely decorated when it was bought, and it was well decorated. The low-key and luxurious black and white decoration was very atmospheric and did not need major changes.

Victor Miller just changed the four bedrooms into three, connected the smallest study room to the master bedroom, made it more spacious, and brought in some furniture.

While Victor Miller was communicating with the workers, Mike leaned on the balcony glass to enjoy the breeze and texted with someone.

"Alice Jones, we are going to the bar tonight. Bob said he wants to celebrate our graduation."

"Okay."

"I'll take Sophia with me. Are you free?"

Alice Jones curled her lips and replied, "...It was my roommate's birthday yesterday. I'm going to go there too."

Mike was silent for a moment, then said, "We're at Blue Bar."

"Same."

"Okay."

...

Blue Bar is the closest to Peking University. They went there every now and then when they were studying, so they are still used to going there.

At night, I met Mike and his girlfriend at the elevator entrance of the bar. When Anna learned that they were there to celebrate graduation, she almost got depressed on the spot. This birthday was instantly unhappy.

Alice Jones was so happy that a few pieces of ash fell from the cigarette in her hand.

She lowered her head to knock on the cigarette extinguisher at the elevator entrance. At this time, the elevator next door opened, and Victor Miller and Bob came out with another college roommate.

Maybe it was because she was smoking, the scarlet between her fingers and the smoke floating in the air were very eye-catching, and several people looked at her instantly, including Victor Miller.

When Alice Jones raised her eyes, she happened to meet his eyes from a distance of several meters.

Victor Miller was wearing a white shirt today, with two buttons undone in a casual manner. A cluster of dim light at the elevator entrance covered his eyebrows and collarbone, and the man exuded the willfulness of a leisurely college student.

It's amazing, he has a doctorate degree and is already 25 years old, how can he look so much like a college student.

Anna saw that she was desperate. She kept shouting about baldness all day long, and envied her and several other college roommates who stopped and graduated in time.

Alice Jones slightly raised the corner of her lips, nodded very casually, and then retracted her gaze.

Everyone's booths were not together. When Alice Jones and a few friends walked to the door together, Victor Miller and the others were still walking forward.

As soon as Victor left, all her friends asked Alice Jones how she felt about seeing her former idol again.

Because when Alice Jones was pursuing Victor Miller in college, it was really a big deal and everyone in the school knew about it, so everyone knew that she had liked him very much.

But her roommates didn't know that she actually pursued him and was together at that time. But because Victor Miller didn't like to be high-profile, she restrained herself after they were together. She didn't pursue him like she did, making it known to everyone in the city, and didn't show off their love everywhere.

Anna knew about it because she was pregnant later and she didn't feel well one day and couldn't go to class, so she told her and asked her to help her ask for leave.

Anna has been taking care of her since then, from pregnancy to check-ups, to childbirth, to raising her until she is three years old today.

A roommate said, "Victor Miller is still so handsome. He wore a white shirt today. The moment he came out of the elevator, he was stunning. Alice, how is it? Are you still attracted to him?" Alice Jones heard this and curled her lips lightly, "Very good-looking, which shows that I had good taste at that time." ... Not only their private room, but also Victor Miller's room. Except for Mike, his other two roommates were also surprised to see Alice Jones tonight. Bob said after sitting down, "Victor, did Alice Jones nod to you just now?" Another roommate Zhan Sui said, "If not to him, then to whom? To you and me?" Bob smiled, "That's right. Although our school beauty didn't catch up with Victor back then, she is still very stylish. After so many years, she still greets each other when they meet." Victor Miller's love affair with the school beauty back then was very low-key. Just like Alice Jones's, no one knew about it. Mike ran into them when he went to the Mexican restaurant where he had dinner yesterday. He then found out that Victor Miller was quietly dating the school beauty who had pursued him for a year, and no one else knew about it.

They didn't know they were together, and they didn't know they broke up.

So they talked without any scruples, thinking that their relationship was just that Alice Jones had pursued him, and there was nothing wrong with talking about it.

While they were talking, Victor Miller was sitting at the edge, leaning against the back of the sofa, holding a wine glass in his hand, and he didn't seem to be listening to them.

The dim light covered the man's peach eyes, making him look illusory, as if he was empty and thinking about something.

Mike on the side couldn't figure out whether he was pretending or really didn't want to listen and really forgot about Alice Jones.

Other people came into the box one after another, all of them were former classmates, so Bob and the others didn't mention Alice Jones anymore. Everyone greeted each other and talked about other things.

The topic was over, and Mike didn't want to talk to Victor Miller about her abruptly.

He sighed and chatted with Victor Miller about something else: "When are you going back to Lan City?"

"Tomorrow." He came back to his senses and picked up the glass.

"What about the decoration of your house?" Mike also picked up a wine glass and clinked it with him.

Victor Miller took a sip and said, "Don't you have time?"

Mike snorted and laughed, "I don't have time. I'm busy preparing for the wedding."

Victor Miller glanced at him lazily, pursed his lips and said nothing, and silently agreed that Mike would keep an eye on the house for him.

Mike didn't really have any big opinions, he was just joking, but when the topic came to this, he suddenly couldn't help but think of his earlier thoughts and asked in an ambiguous tone: "Brother, you don't feel anything when you see me getting married?"

"..."Victor Miller was at a loss, "What do you feel?"

"Envy."

"???"

"Zhan Sui and Bob are crying with envy, are you pretending?"

"..."Victor Miller smiled and counterattacked calmly without any feeling, "Everyone has their own desires, what are you envious of."

"Everyone has their own desires? You didn't want to get married in this life because you were heartbroken once, did you?"

Victor Miller pursed his lips lightly, raised the glass and drank it all, and then said calmly and calmly: "No, but I'm really not in a hurry right now."

"You're already 25, not too young."

Victor Miller heard this and remembered Alice during the day Jones said, too naive to deceive girls, so he couldn't help but throw a sentence to the people around him: "I just graduated three days ago, do you think I am the same as you, writing papers and invitations at the same time?"

Mike laughed.

At this time, there was a sound at the door, and the door was pushed open, and then two women came in.

The one walking in front, with short hair lying coquettishly beside her ears, wearing a floral dress, a bit gentle and cute style;

The one behind, with long wine red hair draped over a gray suspender skirt, revealing a pair of straight white long legs, kicking a pair of riveted short boots, the moment she walked in, full of beauty and coolness.

Everyone in the box looked over and was surprised to see the school beauty.

Someone called her: "Alice Jones? Why are you here?"

Others were busy asking them to sit down and pour wine.

Whether these people knew Alice Jones or not, they had heard of her name and beauty, and she had graduated this summer, so it would be rare to see her in the future. Alice Jones casually greeted, saying, "Sophia asked me to come and play, my roommate and I are sitting in a booth nearby."

Then someone explained the relationship between her and Sophia. Everyone thought she came because of Victor Miller at first, but they all suppressed their little thoughts after hearing this.

Alice Jones took the wine glass, clinked glasses with a few people, and drank it in one gulp.

A man in a gray shirt had stars in his eyes and looked at her and said, "Hey, our school beauty is still so cool."

Alice Jones took a look and recognized him. He was Victor Miller's classmate at the time, and his name seemed to be Simon.

She smiled brightly.

…

Because of her arrival, the place became much more lively.

In the gray space, Victor Miller's face could not be seen clearly. He sat opposite, a little far away.

Alice Jones didn't pay attention to him, turned around and picked up the wine glass again.

Some people praised her for her generosity, and her drinking capacity was as high as ever in these years.

Alice Jones finished her drink, waved her hand, picked up the glass filled by someone else, and walked to Mike's place.

There was no seat here, so she sat directly on the table in front of Victor Miller and said to them: "Congratulations, you graduated, it's hard work."

Mike raised his glass and clinked it with her: "You're welcome, Alice Jones, you are also liberated this year, congratulations."

Alice Jones nodded happily, and then her eyes naturally fell on Victor Miller.

He looked at her slowly, and the two eyes intertwined at a distance of less than one meter, through the changing lights in the box.

In less than a second or two, he moved away normally, and then raised the glass and clinked it with her: "Thank you."

Alice Jones took his avoidance into her eyes.

After finishing the drink in one gulp, she let out a long breath and sighed: "Time flies so fast. When you left, I was just about to enter my senior year. Now... I've graduated and I'm old."

Mike was surprised: "Damn, who said you're old? Are you blind?"

Victor Miller: "..." He choked slightly.

Alice Jones smiled and poured more wine. After that, she clinked glasses with Sophia, "Congratulations to you two, too, for your happy ending."

Sophia said: "Don't drink so much."

"It's okay. You know how much I can drink. Besides, Victor can afford it. Why should I restrain myself?" She kicked Victor Miller's foot with her foot, "Really? You don't mind if I drink two glasses of wine?"

"Whatever."

She curved her red lips and stood up after drinking, "Let's go. Congratulations."

Anna was talking to someone on the other end, so Alice Jones went out first. At the door, Alice Jones leaned against the wall and took out a cigarette to light it. While busying herself, she was thinking, Victor Miller, that guy, seems to be trying to distance himself from his ex-girlfriend.

She touched her body, but found that she seemed to have forgotten to bring a lighter.

A male waiter passed by, Alice Jones took the cigarette, hooked her lips, raised her chin and said to the other party: "Hello, can I borrow a lighter?"

The waiter stopped and saw the charming woman with bright eyes and white teeth leaning against the wall opposite. He was stunned at first, then immediately took out a lighter from his pocket and walked over quickly from the opposite side.

Alice Jones was going to take the cigarette and light it herself, but at that time the door of the box next to her opened, and a figure in a white shirt came out.

Alice Jones paused slightly, and the next second she held the cigarette in her mouth and lowered her head slightly.

Seeing this, the waiter also naturally threw away the fire, approached her and lit the cigarette.

Alice Jones raised her eyes: "Thank you."

The man smiled at her and nodded: "You're welcome."

Alice Jones exhaled a wisp of misty smoke, looked at the man who passed by her straight ahead and seemed to be unfamiliar, and teased: "What's wrong? It was just a joke this morning, and you still hold a grudge?"

Victor Miller stopped.

Alice Jones glanced at him: "I didn't really belittle your alma mater. Cambridge is great. Cambridge is the best in the world."

"..."

"You are welcome to belittle my alma mater."

"..."

Victor Miller glanced at her sideways, and didn't know if he was suppressing his anger, his voice was a little hoarse than usual, and said: "Alice."

"Hmm?"

"If you want to scold me, just be direct, no need to beat around the bush."

Alice Jones was confused, stood up from the wall, took a step forward, raised her face and blew a puff of smoke in his face, "What did I scold you for? Say it clearly, brother."

Victor Miller narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand and pressed her against the wall.
