Chapter 9 Encounters with the Dead
At the entrance of the bar, there were two young men who did not look very good, both of them smoking cigarettes, so that the whole entrance became smoky. Yu Pan'an got closer to find out that they were checking to see if anyone had brought their own drinks into the venue. Because she didn't bring anything, she was quickly released.
She thought to herself that not allowing people to bring their own drinks was actually an unreasonable overlord rule, but this kind of thing has become the norm in many bars, water bars and even restaurants, and everyone seems to be used to it.
She found a place where no one was, scanned the QR code on the table with her mobile phone, and ordered two bottles of wine casually. Because she came alone, she was more vigilant, so she didn't have too much power, so as not to get drunk and cause some unnecessary trouble.
It's not the busiest time yet, but the number of customers has gradually increased, and the atmosphere is slowly improving. At the same time that Yu Pan'an's wine was served by the waiter, a band stepped onto the stage in the center of the bar. She opened a bottle of her own wine and was ready to listen with interest what they would sing.
After singing for a while, two strange men came one after another to talk to Yu Pan'an, but she politely refused, and the other party did not pester.
After that band finished, it was replaced by another band. Yu Pan'an's wine has also reached the second bottle, but because the degree of the wine does not match her alcohol volume, she is not a little drunk at this time. Looking at the stage, she recognized at a glance that the lead singer of this band was her high school classmate Hu Duyu, because she knew that she was not drunk and not dazzled, she was a little shocked.
- At the beginning, she only knew that Hu Duyu and Ji Zhiheng were studying in an art examination institution, but she didn't know what she was specifically learning. Because Ji Zhiheng studied acting, she had a preconceived idea that Hu Duyu was also the one she learned. Now it seems that Hu Duyu is likely to have studied vocal music at the beginning.
- Because, she sings really well. Techniques and emotions are readily available, and they have their own style. Yu Pan'an hadn't heard this song, she guessed that it might be original by Hu Duyu or Hu Duyu's band, otherwise how could it be so compatible with her, it sounds like it was made for her.
Yu Panan sighed in his heart: Time is a knife to kill pigs, but it only kills pigs, not goddesses. It's been so long, and the goddess is still that goddess. If there is any change, it is probably becoming more charming.
Their band is not much different from the one just now, but Hu Duyu, as the lead singer, sings a lot better than the lead singer of the previous band, which suddenly raises the tone of the whole band. In addition, she is very eye-catching and expressive, and the cheers of the audience are getting higher and higher.
Yu Pan'an sat in his seat and watched and listened silently, and had already made a small decision in his heart.
- I didn't say thank you to Hu Duyu back then, but it's time to say it today.
After Hu Duyu and others stepped down, Yu Panan immediately walked over to talk to Hu Duyu. However, there were too many people talking to her, and there were too many people who wanted to contact her, and the side of the stage was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and it was impossible to get through. Hu Duyu, who was in the center of the crowd, looked embarrassed, frowning slightly.
When the staff finally evacuated the crowd, Hu Duyu's expression relaxed a little. At the same time, she also saw Yu Pan'an standing not far away.
Speaking of appearance alone, in fact, Yu Panan has not changed much from high school. But her hair color was really unexpected by Hu Duyu, and she was stunned for a while before she dared to believe that the red-haired woman in front of her was really Yu Pan'an.
"Twilight Rain!" Yu Pan'an smiled and beckoned to Hu Duyu, "Are you free?" ”
Hu Duyu also smiled and responded, "Okay." ”
The two of them ordered two cocktails and sat down in a less crowded area. Yu Pan'an asked about Hu Duyu's recent situation, Hu Duyu said that she studied music in college, formed a band while studying, and now everyone is still working hard for their dreams. It's hard, but it's also fun.
Yu Pan'an nodded, "That's good." I also think it's nice to work hard for what I love, and I'm happy to work hard. ”
"What about you? How are you now?"
"Me. Yu Panan habitually said modestly, "I don't have a stable job, I've been writing scripts for the repertory troupe recently, and occasionally I will send my own short stories around, which is quite unprofessional." ”
Hu Duyu sneered. "You're too low-key to say that, if you're not doing your job, what am I? ”
Yu Panan also smiled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine.
The cold wine entered the throat and soon ignited a spicy heat. Yu Pan'an drank this kind of wine for the first time and almost choked. Putting down the wine glass, she cut to the "main topic" of today, and said, "Actually, I didn't call you to drink for greetings, but I always wanted to say thank you to you, and now I finally have the opportunity." ”
Hu Duiyu's eyes widened, and she didn't seem to understand what Yu Pan'an was talking about. "Thank me?"
"Yes. When I first entered high school, I was bullied, didn't you tell Ji Zhiheng. It was only after that that I was slowly accepted by everyone. Yu Pan'an said while recalling, "I have thought many times, if it weren't for your words, I don't know how long I would have to stay in a bad situation." But I was so shy at the time that I didn't say a word of thanks at the thought that it might not be a big deal to you. ”
Hu Duyu listened to her silently, did not answer immediately, but picked up his wine glass and took a sip of wine. When she had finished drinking, she lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
Yu Pan'an thought she didn't remember anything like this, so she said, "What's the matter, have you forgotten?"
Hu Duyu shook his head.
"It's not...... It's just that you say that, which makes me feel very guilty. ”
"Guilty?" Yu Pan'an was puzzled. "You helped me, why feel guilty. ”
"It's been so long since I thought I'd never be talked about again in my life. Seriously, I forgot a little bit about it myself. "Her voice is not loud, but every word is clear," Ji Zhiheng. I've almost forgotten about this man. He's not going to be with Geng Yao now, is hey, I forgot, you shouldn't know Geng Yao. ”
"Geng Yao?" Yu Pan'an was surprised, "I know it." Ah, no, no, no, I don't know each other, but I've seen it. They are indeed together now. ”
Of course, Yu Pan'an knew that Hu Duyu had something to say, but after she answered, Hu Duiyu remained silent thoughtfully. Although Yu Panan wanted to know what she was going to say, she didn't rush to ask.
Then, Hu Duyu told Yu Panan about the "other version" of what happened back then, and told the story of what happened on another "stage" that Yu Panan did not see. And Yu Pan'an finally knew the real reason why she and Ji Zhiheng were separated back then.
