Chapter 17: The Drunkard in the Coffee Shop

In the process of chatting with the old brother who set up the stall, Du Yuan concentrated on wandering around in front of various stalls nearby, during which the couple came to ask the price, and the old brother chatted with me while doing business.

I took out a cigarette and handed it over, put it in my mouth, and when I was about to light a fire for my brother, my brother gave me the cigarette, shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't smoke now, it's better not to smoke this thing." ”

After listening to my brother's words, I was about to light the cigarette in my mouth.

Du Yuan didn't know when he came back, reached out and quickly pulled the cigarette from my mouth, broke it in his hand, snatched the lighter from my hand, put it in his pocket, and smiled helplessly at the old brother next to me.

Du Yuan stood there and kept looking at me: "Big brother is right, it's better to smoke less cigarettes." ”

I didn't speak, and pulled another one out of my cigarette case: "Don't make a fuss, give me the fire." ”

Du Yuan took out the lighter, I thought she would give it to me, but what I didn't expect was that she suddenly threw the lighter into the Qinhuai River, staring at me and me in a stalemate.

I was a little annoyed, Tang Xi didn't care about smoking, she Du Yuan not only dragged the cigarette from my mouth today, but also threw my lighter into the river.

The old brother, who saw that the atmosphere was not right, dragged me down the moment I stood up, and Du Yuan was also startled by my action of getting up.

"Brother, listen to my brother's advice, we also chatted all night, there is no need for the little couple to have a conflict in this matter, although this Christmas Eve is not a Chinese holiday, but it is also a day to bless peace, and there is a little contradiction or something. ”

I squatted down again, sat on the ground in a different position, leaned against the bridge railing, looked up to see Du Yuan who threw the lighter from beginning to end and didn't speak, my brother took out a few pieces of candy from his body, gave me one, gave Du Yuan another one, tore one open and threw it into his mouth.

"I used to smoke and drink heavily, not long after I came out, I didn't listen to what my parents said, in fact, I didn't have much of a habit of smoking, I just had a habit, I took out the root and put it in my mouth, lit it to take a deep breath, swallowed, and it became a habit No matter when, such a thing can always make me quiet at a certain moment, to seek some kind of feeling that suits me. ”

After saying that, my brother thought I wouldn't believe it: "I can really calm myself down." ”

My brother's words seemed to remind me to calm down, I understood what he meant, borrowed a wooden cardboard box from him, spread it next to me, and then pulled Du Yuan over.

"Sit down, stand like this again, your legs will be numb for a while. ”

Du Yuan squatted down, but still refused to speak, and I chatted with my brother again to hide my embarrassment.

"I didn't stop you just now, did you really go up and beat her? for such a trivial matter?"

I calmed down, looked at the old brother, and at this time there were several groups of couples, the old brother greeted me and gave me a look, I knew that he asked me to coax Du Yuan.

I took out the cigarette case, Du Yuan's bright eyes began to stare at me, the old brother who greeted the business next to me glanced at me and shook his head, I picked up Du Yuan's hand and put the cigarette case on.

"Listen to you, don't smoke. ”

Du Yuan held the cigarette case, and suddenly changed from a straight face to a smile, her mood and even her expression changed, I think it's a pity not to be an actor.

After greeting the voice, the old brother sat back.

"Take my younger siblings to go shopping, coax again, don't delay my business here, women still have to say something good to coax. ”

I knew that my brother was giving me a step down, and asked my brother for a WeChat: "Brother will have time later, let's come back from a walk, please have a drink." ”

"Yuan Shujing, first coax your younger brothers and sisters, if you don't coax well, you can't drink this wine well. ”

gave a note to Brother Yuan, nodded to him, I pulled Du Yuan up, she patted her body, and walked towards the entrance of the Confucius Temple.

I entered a duck blood vermicelli shop on the left, found a seat, sat down, and ordered two servings.

"I'll go get the cat back later, and then I'll send you back, and I'll go have a drink with Brother Yuan." ”

I said this to Du Yuan, as if to get her consent, and my relationship with her was slowly changing, and I began to care about her feelings.

Du Yuan stroked her hair and nodded, I breathed a sigh of relief and said at the same time: "Don't send me back, I'll go with you, if you drink too much, you won't be in trouble, it's still so cold today." ”

I couldn't refuse Du Yuan's kindness, but fortunately, at this time, the vermicelli soup was served, and I took a pair of chopsticks and a spoon for Du Yuan.

"Eat slowly, it's a little hot. ”

After that, we ate by ourselves, maybe it was a day of shopping, Du Yuan didn't eat anything, he ate a little urgently, suddenly choked, coughing couldn't stop, I got up to pat her back, and then went over to the waiter to get a glass of water, Du Yuan drank water before relieving.

After I finished eating, I watched her eat very slowly, and she should have choked before.

Du Yuan wiped her mouth with the paper, I knew that she should be full, got up to settle the bill, and helped her pick up the bag.

I went to the previous pet store, asked the owner for a cage, bought a warm dress for the cat, put it on, and carried the cage out of the pet store.

When I arrived at the Qinhuai River Bridge, Brother Yuan began to clean up the stall, and when he saw me pulling Du Yuan back, he smiled, Du Yuan and I helped Brother Yuan clean up, and after cleaning up things, Brother Yuan cleaned up the garbage around again.

"Come with me, come to me for a drink, there aren't many places to drink so late. ”

Du Yuan and I followed Brother Yuan to the nearby parking lot, Brother Yuan put things in the car, looking at Brother Yuan's Audi A6, I was a little curious, how could a person like him come back to set up a stall, maybe the policy was relaxed, come over and have some fun.

Brother Yuan drove us to a coffee shop, came to the door and entered, he turned on the lights in the store, and looked at the decoration inside.

"This is my coffee shop, you sit down for a while, I'll go get some wine in the back. ”

After Du Yuan and I sat down, we looked around the whole store, Brother Yuan should also be a person with a story, such a coffee shop.

The decoration in the literary style, with the retro decoration in the store, I think Brother Yuan is also a person with a different attitude towards life, opening a coffee shop and going to set up a stall at night.

Soon Brother Yuan came back with two bottles of wine and handed me and Du Yuan a glass each.

I looked at Du Yuan, who was sitting on the side in a daze: "Can you drink it, can you drink it, I will buy you a cup of milk tea later." ”

Brother Yuan took back the cup in front of Du Yuan: "There is something to drink in the store, I'll heat it up." ”

At this time, a couple suddenly came in outside, Brother Yuan came out with a box of milk, and watched a guest come in.

"I'm sorry, the store is closed, I'm sorry to come back tomorrow if I need to. ”

"It's okay, just passing by and looking at the store and coming to the door, I want to come over for a cup of coffee. ”

Brother Yuan should have recognized the couple: "Then let's do it, wait a while, I'll grind it for you here." ”

The couple found a place to sit down, and soon Brother Yuan came out with two cups of coffee: "Happy Christmas Eve!"

Returning to me and Du Yuan's side, I apologized to us, and I smiled and said it was okay.

Brother Yuan opened the wine and poured me a glass, and then poured himself another glass, we touched it first, Du Yuan touched my cup with milk next to him, and watched me drink the wine.
