Chapter 70: Drinking
Sang Ying reported that it was near the business district, which happened to be relatively close to where Lin Xiao lived, and it was estimated that it would take less than half an hour to take a taxi. Fortunately, she was close, and when she went downstairs, the system prompted her that the taxi was successful.
"Overtime?" When the security guard saw Lin Xiao, he yawned and poked his head out of the duty booth and greeted her: "Why do you want to go out so late?"
"Pick up a friend. Lin Xiao smiled and replied casually.
The security guard didn't ask much, said pay attention to safety, and after making sure that she got into the car, he returned to the duty booth and continued to doze off.
Sang Ying used her mobile phone to send Lin Xiao a specific location, and the location was not far away, but it was a little difficult to find. Lin Xiao almost never came, he didn't have time before, and then he was not in the mood, so he spared a small half circle near the positioning point before he found the store that the other party said.
In a dream.
The name is quite chic.
Lin Xiaohui thought of Xu Yuanhang's store name, which was also similar to this kind of name that didn't look good at first glance, but it seemed to be a little wrong when you thought about it, but in fact, it really didn't have any actual meaning.
Unlike the noisy and noisy bars you imagined, the environment in the dream was quite quiet, as if the store was not open at all.
When Lin Xiao walked in, he was very cautious, and he couldn't help but slow down, always thinking that he would not disturb others.
The store is still very quiet, except for the middle stage, where a girl is sitting and singing. The voice is very soft, so slow that it's easy to ignore her voice, and at first glance you think it's playing some pure music.
The hypnotic effect is extremely strong.
When this thought flashed in his mind, Lin Xiao was a little speechless. At this time, there is still effort to think about these complaints, which is obviously something that only Huang Lu can do.
There weren't many people in the bar, but the lights were dim, and Lin Xiao got used to it for a while before finally seeing Sang Ying in the corner waving at her.
"Are you okay?" Lin Xiao walked over and frowned involuntarily when he saw the scene in front of him.
Qi Ji closed her eyes and leaned back on the sofa, she couldn't tell for a moment whether she was completely drunk or just asleep.
"It's fine. Unexpectedly, Qi Ji answered her.
Although his voice is weak, he can answer questions accurately and his consciousness is clear.
"She drank a lot," Sang Ying gestured to the empty wine bottle on the table, and said, "Even after drinking, she didn't say anything, and she didn't care about people at all." It looks like I'm stupid, I haven't experienced it either, and I'm worried that something will happen. ”
"You're stupid. Qi Ji still closed his eyes and snorted softly.
Lin Xiao glanced at the position on the table, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
On a large coffee table, empty wine bottles took up most of the table, and those who didn't know thought that there was a group of people gathering here.
"Awesome, I didn't know you had such a good amount of alcohol. Since people are still sober, at least don't worry about other things, after sitting down next to Qi Ji, he sighed quite leisurely.
"Hmm. Qi Ji raised her hand and put it in her author's eyes, if it weren't for Lin Xiao sitting close, she might almost not have heard this answer.
"Sleepy and go back to sleep?" Lin Xiao glanced at the time and said, "Go to sleep with me, there is a room, and it hasn't been cleaned up for two days." ”
Qi Ji didn't say anything, Sang Ying probably thought of Lin Xiao's "take-in" a few days ago, and smiled at Lin Xiao a little embarrassedly.
Lin Xiao waved her hand, signaling her to relax and not be too nervous, and then she also leaned on the sofa and closed her eyes to recuperate.
After being used to staying up late, I was suddenly woken up, and the sleepiness was not how strong it was, but it was uncomfortable. His eyes were uncomfortably dry, and his head was buzzing and groggy.
"You and Xu Yuanhang are really in sync," After a while, Lin Xiao laughed and said loudly: "After he sent all the goods that should be sent, he also started drinking like this every day." In the last few days, there has been almost no one to be found. Listening to Huang Lu, he is about to buy a lifelong VIP in the small shop downstairs. When I went to buy wine the day before yesterday, the proprietress was quite curious to inquire about him. ”
Sang Ying glanced at Qi Ji and asked very cooperatively, "What do you inquire?"
"I asked if I was planning to open a commissary upstairs, and I drank every day as if I were engaged in wholesale. Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"Yes. Sang Ying seemed to have thought of something funny, gestured in the direction of the bar, and said, "When we came the day before yesterday, the bartender asked us if we wanted to find a part-time job here. ”
Part-time?
Lin Xiao's expression suddenly changed.
Sang Ying noticed her expression and hurriedly explained: "I just asked if we should go up and sing or something, and said that no one who came in would really listen to the song anyway, the tone and appearance were similar, just don't make noise." The bottom line is that you can also drink alcohol for free. ”
Lin Xiao smiled: "When did the requirement to sing become not noisy." ”
Sang Ying also felt very unreasonable, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "So we rejected it." ”
Lin Xiao smiled, keenly grasped the key point of her words, and asked curiously, "How often have you come together recently?"
"Hmm. Sang Ying nodded, spoke a little embarrassedly, and said, "I'll come after work." ”
Work?
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, but didn't ask any more.
Since the last time she fought with Cheng Yan, Lin Xiao hadn't seen Sang Ying again during this time, and thought that the other party might have left, but now looking at her, she is still working at Cheng Yan's place.
It is estimated that I haven't seen it all the time, because her commuting time has changed, and Lin Xiao's own commuting time has also changed. After going back and forth, the two were still upstairs and downstairs, but they never met again.
"I haven't left yet. Sang Ying said in a sneer, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and then disappeared again.
In front of Lin Xiao, she always had an inexplicable weakness.
Lin Xiao nodded and didn't speak.
Seeing her so calm, Sang Ying was a little uneasy, and after hesitating for a while, she took the initiative to ask, "Aren't you angry?"
Lin Xiao smiled, glanced sideways at her, and said, "Why are you angry?"
"Because I'm all like that, I'm still there. Sang Ying blurted out, and only after saying that she was a little embarrassed, she added again: "Anyway, you guys did it for me at that time and helped me." ”
"But it doesn't matter if you stay there or not. Although Lin Xiao didn't understand, he also tried his best to keep his tone relaxed: "These are two different things, we can't let you have to do what we think because we have done something." ”
Sang Ying opened her mouth, and suddenly she didn't know what to say. It's just that the state of cowering, apparently gone, replaced by a cautious lightness.
"By the way, how did you come together?" Lin Xiao thought for a moment and asked. She was still a little curious, Qi Ji and Sang Ying seemed to be completely people who had no intersection between the two worlds.
will drink together without mentioning, looking at the current situation of the two getting along, it is obvious that it is not the first time they have come out.
"That morning, after I left your place, I went out and ran into her. Sang Ying glanced in Qi Ji's direction and said, "A few times before, she went to your place, but she didn't go upstairs. It took me a few times, and I ran into each other and we talked. ”
That day, Qi Ji had just finished talking with Xu Yuanhang and met Sang Ying, and the two hit it off and made an appointment to drink. As soon as I drank it, I drank it to this day.
"She drinks a lot of alcohol, and she doesn't get crazy very much, and she almost always goes to sleep after drinking. Today is an exception, and I didn't get drunk, but I didn't talk when I was drunk, like a fool. ”
This is also why, even though they have been drinking together for so many days, Sang Ying will call Lin Xiao over in the middle of the night.
"I still want to drink. Qi Ji suddenly sat up again, with a wooden expression, and his eyes looked at the empty wine bottle on the table without moving.
"Still drinking?" Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Qi Ji's expression was still faint, and he could even be said to be sluggish, nodded and said, "I want to drink, I'm upset, I can't sleep." ”
Lin Xiao was stunned, his eyes swept over the row of wine bottles on the table, and after only hesitating for a moment, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, drink." ”
And they drink it together.
Sang Ying, who called people over: ???
Soon, the wine was back on the table, and for whatever reason, the three of them sat down together and drank the wine so magically.
After drinking the wine, Qi Ji's spirits perked up a lot, and he reluctantly sat up with his eyes open, but when Lin Xiao handed over the bottle, he seemed to have just noticed her, and asked, "Why are you drinking?"
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and didn't speak.
"Because of work, right?" Although Qi Ji was drunk, his brain became extremely clear at this time, and after thinking about it, he said to himself: "Fantes's sales this time are good, right? I saw the video you posted, it's quite interesting." When I first started as an anchor, I was able to have such luck, which can be regarded as God's reward. ”
"You know that, I thought you weren't interested in it. Lin Xiao was a little surprised.
Qi Ji just wants to live in his own world, and he is almost not interested in the people and things around him, and he doesn't care much at all.
This is also what Xu Yuanhang said, the biggest contradiction between him and Qi Ji.
Even if you are involved in each other's lives and have lived together for a period of time, you are not very interested in each other's affairs at all, and you don't have the idea of wanting to integrate into each other's lives.
The center point is always only on oneself.
It's like she's known each other for so many years, and some time ago she didn't know that Lin Xiao had resigned and rested at home for more than half a year, but now she is so keen that she doesn't look like her at all.
"The video software pushed it to me. Qi Ji shrugged his shoulders and explained indifferently.
Video software?
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then a little embarrassment welled up in his heart.
The original purpose of putting it on video social software was just for the traffic promotion of live broadcast at that time. After the fact, the number of followers on the two apps did grow from one or two acquaintances to hundreds, but compared to those real big bloggers, this number is far from enough.
Later, he was busy delivering goods and thinking about stabilizing the traffic of the current live broadcast room, as well as preparing for the style recommendations of Double Twelve and Deep Winter, and after coming and going, Lin Xiao forgot about the two software.
Unexpectedly, in just two days, two people came to her and told her that they had seen her video.
No matter how skillful and comfortable you are in front of the camera, at this time, there are still some inexplicable restraints and awkwardness.
Although Qi Ji was half-drunk and a little sluggish, he was still particularly sensitive to emotions, smiled and said, "It's a good shot, but it's a little bit like you." ”
After speaking, it seemed to be a little uncomfortable, so he leaned his head back on the sofa and lay down for a while, thought about it and added: "No, it's still quite like you." ”
Lin Xiao's embarrassment came and went faster, and when she said this, she couldn't help but feel a little funny, and said, "Are you sure you want to continue drinking?" ”
Qi Ji didn't say anything.
Lin Xiao thought that she should not be entangled in this topic any longer, so she turned sideways to take the bottle opener and prepare to open the bottle of wine.
"Will you continue to work at Vantas after that?" Qi Ji suddenly spoke up and asked, "Not ready to go back to VISION?"
Lin Xiao's action of opening the wine suddenly stagnated, and he hummed softly.
Pouring the wine into the cup, in the sound of rushing water, Lin Xiao heard Qi Ji seem to say something.
"It's not your fault. ”
When Lin Xiao turned to look at her, Qi Ji's expression had returned to normal, and he was talking to Sang Ying next to him.
It's not your fault.
Countless people have told her this since it happened, but when she returns to her previous office, she can't help but think of what happened before.
Whether to return to VISION or continue to stay in Fantes, Lin Xiao, who has always acted decisively and firmly, rarely chose to escape on this issue, or rather, not to face it.
There are countless cases where you can't solve it but you have to solve it head-on, and you don't want to choose but you have to give answers and choices, and you are constantly forced to move forward every day.
Unsolvable troubles constitute an uncontrollable and unpredictable unknown tomorrow.
"What did Lin Xiao do before?" Sang Ying asked curiously.
Lin Xiao smiled and didn't speak.
Qi Ji looked at her and laughed: "If you take a thing too seriously, there will always be problems." ”
In life, there are countless situations where you can't solve it but you have to solve it hard, and you don't want to choose but you have to give answers and choices.
One by one, unsolvable troubles constitute an unpredictable tomorrow.
