After Lao Khang left, a few minutes later, a member of the band approached Linh. This person looked at her with sympathetic eyes mixed with a bit of lust when recalling the scene of Linh having fun with all three men alone.
_ Here is my money.
This person said, then placed the envelope on the table, then placed his hand on Linh's bare shoulder and said a few empty words of comfort. She didn't answer or pay attention to how much money she received for the case tonight, because with what had just happened, money was no longer important.
This person saw Linh quietly leaving her seat and heading towards the main door, so she quickly chased after her and stuffed the envelope into her pocket and scolded her.
_This is your money, you have to take it and don't waste your efforts no matter what the reason is.
Then he quietly turned his back and walked backstage, leaving Linh alone to walk through tears and hundreds of talks. Not only that, her not-so-subtle clip somehow miraculously spread at breakneck speed on social networks. Soon the image of the female lead flooded the sparrow movie groups with extremely sensational headlines.
"The young singer alone can compete with three rich men" is accompanied by a lively comment like.. "My blind friend asked me to ask for a link" or a teasing comment "the female lead is so delicious, I but the male lead will definitely have a supporting movie throughout"..
As for Linh, after stepping out of the main door of the "Huan Chi" tea room, it seemed that from now on, the dream she had nurtured all her life had now vanished into thin air, and instead there was a stain on the entire religious family. clan. A humiliation follows Linh, not knowing how long it will take to wash it all away.
Slightly raised her red eyes to look at the sign "Dear chi tea room" designed with dim LED lights in the dark night, below were her colleagues standing looking at her through the glass door as if wanting to say goodbye. a loser. Linh suddenly felt more bitter in her heart.
"Yan chi", the name that was thought to nurture the young girl's dream of becoming a singer, turned out to be the place where all expectations were extinguished. Not only that, among the faces showing sympathy for that girl, there was no less than one person who directly stabbed Linh with a fatal knife.
Those jealous people waited for Linh to turn around and quietly walk on the deserted road, until they disappeared behind the trees before revealing their happy and cheerful faces.
_ Are you and your mother in love with Khang to oust us?
_ haha he likes to lie on his back and lie on his side, so our sisters let him tilt on his back too, Lan ha.
Lan Lan, the girl who had just spit a huge piece of saliva on the sidewalk, turned around and said in a gloating voice.
_ No, it seems like you're really skilled, Nhung, you could rent those little onion stamping machines all night.
_ Hey, I keep praising them, those guys are construction workers who don't like it if you give me a little money and have fun with beautiful girls. As for Linh, you just need to mix some high-dose aphrodisiac into her wine. Heck, there were a dozen guys when he could still weigh them, let alone those three dirty black hands.
Nhung said then waved her modern, tight dress around her butt as if wanting to attract all eyes entering the shop. Tonight's income will probably be greatly reduced, but removing Linh from the list of singers serving at this Xuyen Chi tea room is also a big victory.
As for Linh, up until now she has been walking with her face down on the empty street. I no longer know where I will go amidst the malicious gossip that wants to engulf a person.
The wind gently shook her messy hair, and in some small corner, the lyrics of the song that Linh had so passionately poured her soul into tonight were once again sung.
Tonight tonight,
I got drunk and forgot all my sadness, I forgot all my sadness.
Tonight, tonight.
The alley I returned to was deserted, some were lonely, some were lonely.
Tonight, oh long night, oh long night...
The song was probably recorded by someone when they went to the tea room to enjoy the music and then uploaded it to YouTube. Now I look back to the person who sang the melodies to remind me that Linh's life is as white as the girl mentioned in the song.
Tonight, tonight
The water flows in two streams, the water flows calmly
Tonight, tonight.
The water has swept me away, oh where are you going?
Where are you going...
It was as if the last line of the song came from somewhere, at this moment Linh had set foot on the bridge across the river of city x. A few motorbikes passed her, teased her, then sped away. At this time, Linh did not pay attention to those young men anymore, but turned her eyes to look down at the water flowing lazily under her feet through the bridge railing.
Taking a deep breath, she slowly placed her right foot on the iron protective shield, followed by her left foot, then half her body climbed over the railing, ready to throw herself into the river to end a life full of stains. .
_ forever..
Linh said, her eyelashes slowly closed and she leaned forward slightly. She felt the strong winds blowing up from the river, blowing her hair like an invitation for a person to leave his life. But when Linh thought that everything would end after her body sank into the dark water, suddenly a strong hand grabbed her shirt tightly.
_ This is looking for death again.
A man's voice sounded somewhat cold, Linh tried to struggle to get her body out of that person's hands. But no matter how hard she tried, it had no effect until her whole body was lifted up and brought back to the bridge.
Only then did Linh notice that the person who had just pulled her from the boundary of life and death was a beggar wearing a black hat that covered his face. She could recognize him simply because he often stood near the tea room with a filthy appearance, looking towards Mr. Khang's "chickens" with eyes that could not be guessed. thing. That makes the security guards always have to be wary, while Linh's colleagues show contempt and often avoid each time they pass by the sidewalk where the old man often sits even though the beggar is not there. wanting to receive some pity from them.
As for Linh, it was a little different. She also felt a little creepy when she accidentally saw his two pupils that seemed to have no whites left. After a few times, she saw that it was just a slightly different look, but he was basically a gentle person, better than those guys who wore white collar shirts and tried to act like a noble person on the inside. rotten again. After many times the old beggar passed by the shop, then stopped to look inside Linh's workplace, she also began to get used to it. Occasionally she still drops a few coins into the old beggar's hat, although not much, but still shows kindness to those less fortunate than herself.
There was also a time when a colleague caught her doing what she did and took her to a corner to scold her because there is a taboo in this profession that you should not directly give money to beggars. But that's not what Phuong is worried about. The thing that worries her is related to Phung, a singer who mysteriously disappeared after suddenly becoming famous.
Talking about the singer named Phung, Linh honestly doesn't have much information because when she started working in the "chuan chi" tea room, that person had been missing for more than a week. At that time, the authorities also opened many investigations, but the only result
