Chapter 11

　　After a long time, Hayden asked tentatively, "did Ruby embarrass you?" 　　Hearing Hayden say so, Glenda suddenly wanted to cry. 　　Indeed, the mood changed, different from what she showed Joey earlier. 　　Harry only cared whether Glenda bullies Ruby. Other matters didn’t matter to Hayden whether Glenda was the one being bullied. And he didn’t even bother to ask. 　　…… 　　Glenda had gotten a little drunk after a large cup of draft beer. 　　As she lost her hold of her emotion, big tears fell into her glass, mixing with the brown beer. 　　Hayden was a little flustered. He was most afraid of girls crying in front of him. 　　He was at a loss on what to say to her. Seeing that Glenda cried more, he had no choice but to try. 　　The proprietress on one side came over and handed a packet of napkins to Hayden. Her fat hand patted him on the shoulder and said, "let her cry for a while. I'm afraid she's been wronged. I know she didn’t look very good as soon as she entered the door..." 　　Hayden looked back at the proprietress, speechless, and took the paper towel from her hand. 　　The proprietress continued, "it's better to cry. Don't persuade her not to, she'll just be sadder..." 　　Hayden nodded vaguely and looked at the proprietress turning away. 　　He handed the paper towel to Glenda, but Glenda grabbed his arm. 　　Hayden didn't draw back his hand. He got up and walked to Glenda's side. He sat down beside her and let her cry in his arm. 　　After a while, she grew tired of crying, Glenda wiped her nose on his sleeve and asked, "Aren't you obsessed with cleanliness? Why aren’t you backing away from me?" 　　Hayden frowned. He wanted to leave, but he didn't want to leave Glenda. 　　Hayden looked awe inspiring and sighed, "I've seen you cry twice since we were a child. Once you broke a dog's leg in the yard with your uncle's gun and your grandfather hit you with a belt. The other time was the day your mother died, you hid in the car alone and cried... Today is only the third time..." 　　Glenda raised her head and looked at him with redden eyes. 　　Hayden sighed, shook his head and continued, "but to be honest, I really look down on you for crying like a dog for a man. Are you still the Glenda I know?" 　　“……” 　　Glenda didn't bother to pay attention to him. She wiped her tears. Before reaching out for a beer glass, she jumped up and splashed her eyes. 　　It frightened Hayden. He quickly got up and asked, "what's the matter? What about your crying? Why did you jump up?" 　　Glenda didn't want him to be worried about her. Pointing to her stinging eyes, she cried with snot and tears, "it's hot, spicy and painful..." 　　It was not until the landlady rushed out that the crisis was finally resolved. 　　The landlady took Glenda to the back kitchen and washed her eyes with cold water, which made her feel better. 　　…… 　　At the table, Hayden looked at Glenda with a speechless face and didn’t say a word. 　　After holding it for a long time, he squeezed out a word from his mouth, "it's time to eat again!" 　　Glenda glared at him, heartlessly continued to pick up the crayfish, and didn't forget to ask the landlady for two draft beers 　　After they had a few large glasses of draft beer, they began to talk more and more. 　　Hayden calmly talked about meat jokes. Glenda giggled and sent the shelled crayfish into his mouth before taking care to peel it for himself. 　　Listening to Hayden's corny jokes, Glenda asked him dimly. 　　"Hayden, you are so handsome. Why don't you find a girlfriend? Could it be that you were swinging the other way in the recent years?" 　　“……” 　　Hayden spat out the wine and stared at her. 　　"What do you mean swing the other way! I'm the first straight man in the universe. So straight that it’ll scare you to death!" 　　Glenda smiled heartlessly and couldn't even swallow the beer. 　　"Then why don't you find one?" Glenda inquired. 　　Hayden put his hand on her shoulder, hugged her and said, "it's not me who needs to look... Do you understand?" 　　Glenda shook his heavy head and said with a silly smile, "I don't understand..." 　　Hayden was also drunk. He looked at her for a long time. Glenda couldn't understand the flashing emotion in his eyes. 　　Soon, Hayden pushed her away again, pushed her and said, "I've been looking for it, but I haven't met the right one yet..." 　　Hearing this, Glenda, with Hayden's conditions, didn't worry about finding any kind of girl. 　　Hayden hiccuped and said to Glenda, "you said it yourself... I have to find someone better than you, right? It'll save you from laughing at me... Hiccup..." 　　Glenda nodded hard, "yes, that's right!" 　　With that, they were already spent. 　　The beer glasses in their table have changed from one to two, and even Hayden next to her looked like he has three heads and six arms 　　Finally, Glenda can't remember how much she drank. And Hayden was lying on the table. 　　…… 　　Glenda took out a few hundred-yuan bills from her bag, pressed them on the table, got up and walked out. 　　In one step, she pushed away the outstretched hand of the landlady and said she was not drunk. She just wanted to get out and take a breathe. 　　The food shop’s landlady was also afraid that she would vomit in the store. So, seeing that she could still walk, she didn't stop any more. 　　Glenda pushed open the door of the shop, walked to a street lamp on the roadside and sat down. 　　She couldn't feel how cold it was under her body and she was worried about Hayden. 　　She fumbled for the mobile phone in her bag, but she couldn't see the mobile phone screen clearly.
