Chapter 176

Two years later.

Just after 6 o'clock, Jinghai Street is at its most crowded, and there is a small square in the center of the street, adjacent to the park, and people who live nearby often take their families to walk in the square.

In the early spring, the spring cold was still steep, but the wind did not stop, and a child hurriedly ran by dragging the lead of the kite in his hand, and the other was careless, and happened to crash into the girl's body.

The girl stabilized herself, her thin and slender hand held the child's chubby wrist, and smiled softly: "Children, be careful~"

The little boy grimaced at her and ran away with the kite in his hand.

The girl didn't care, and turned into a path behind the square, which was one of the countless paths that connected perfectly to the park. In the past six months, she has become accustomed to walking from this road, and time can be saved a lot, of course, although 7 o'clock is the official work time, she has also been used to arriving at work an hour early.

Turning into the path, the world in front of me immediately became much more depressed. The branches still look bare, but a closer look reveals a lot of new shoots, and the ground is much more luxuriant, and the young grass is growing wildly.

You can see through it at a glance.

Not far away, a man and a woman, kissing and kissing, the fierce atmosphere seemed to be hot with the surrounding atmosphere.

The man wore a black shirt and a pink vest, which perfectly highlighted his tight and slender figure, one hand was in the trouser pocket of the suit, and the other hand was lightly on the trunk of the tree behind the woman, and the valuable watch on his wrist was unobstructed in such a twilight, with his slightly long but carefully combed hairstyle, he looked like a male protagonist who came out of a Japanese drama.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the purple gold sand tail ring on the man's tail finger, flashing with interstellar scattered light, just like the ambiguous aura exuded by the man's body, seductive and mysterious.

The woman, on the other hand, was leaning her back against the trunk of a tree, holding a cigarette in her hand, her eyebrows and eyes were gloomy, her mouth was puffing smoke, and her body was full of world-weary beauty.

Luoluo is a common sight, it is remote, and it is close to the back door of the iF bar, and many male models or men in the bar will bring customers here to flirt. Some of the shady deals were first negotiated here.

Luo Luo skillfully lowered his head, the hair scattered on both sides naturally covered his face, and his hands rolled up the placket, covering the part below the nose well, and then his steps were light, and he hurriedly walked behind the two.

The back door of the IF bar is close at hand, the so-called back door is actually more like the staff passage of the bar, there will be many handsome men and women shuttling here, and after midnight, handsome men and women will shuttle here with their customers.

Luo Luo walked in quickly, and met many familiar faces, some of whom greeted her warmly, some of whom chose to turn a blind eye to her, and occasionally one or two frivolous male models whistled loudly at her, followed by laughter one after another.

Of course, she turned a deaf ear to all of this.

iF Bar is also well-known among the many bars in City B, focusing on entertainment, and the sales of alcohol are really high, and the commission is also high. Lo Lo works as a bartender at the bar, and her top boss and master is the bartender, Vincent, the bar's only bartender.

At the moment, Vincent has not yet come. Luo Luo changed into his overalls, quickly tucked his hair into a ponytail, and began to get busy at the bar.

There's a lot of work to be done, and she's always quiet, and the chatter of another bartender is mostly a listener's gesture.

"Do you know? Last week's sales champion was still Cheng Xuan, and I heard that he threw half of the sales of the second place. ”

Luo Luo remembered the scene he had just seen in the park, and casually echoed: "Isn't that normal." ”

"I'm just surprised, he has such means, why didn't he do it when Mrs. Li wanted to support him before? Serve Mrs. Li well, not all villas and luxury cars, why bother working here like us......"

Luo Luo shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand very well.

Just like a few days ago, after eleven o'clock, Zhou Yang would appear in front of the bar, and Vincent glanced at Luo Luo, signaling that she could hide out, and everything would be solved by him. But Luo Luo didn't think so, Zhou Yang had come to her several times, and the resoluteness of her attitude was obvious, she could hide for a while, but she couldn't hide for a lifetime, and the messy things in life must always learn to face and solve them calmly.

She rejected Vincent's suggestion, "What would you like to drink today?" she walked over in a businesslike tone.

Zhou Yang sat in front of the bar and glanced down at the wine list handed over by Luo Luo, "A glass of red lovers." He tapped his finger on the wine list.

"Okay, wait a minute. ”

Luo Luo took out the bartending utensils and the base wine she needed, and learned to mix the wine as Vincent taught her on weekdays. Mix the red pomegranate juice with orange juice until it is 8 minutes full, then mix in 10 litres of Boslan orange and vodka, shake well and serve in a glass.

The cocktail that was as red as a flame was slowly pushed in front of Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows, tasted it, and praised: "Much better than last time." ”

Luo Luo continued to say businesslikely: "Thank you for the compliment, 80 glasses." ”

Zhou Yang sneered, looked to the side, his face was full of disdain and mockery, reached out and took out his wallet from his inner pocket, and before he counted, he took out a few red banknotes from his wallet and slapped them on the table, "Give me 5 more cups...... The wolf's heart and dog's lungs are healed. ”

Whether it was in his words or in his eyes, there was a hint of sarcasm, Luo Luo didn't reach out to pick it up, just looked at him calmly.

Zhou Yang thought that she was weak-hearted, and continued to be aggressive: "Why don't you speak?

"Repay debts, kill people to pay for their lives," Luo Luo's eyes gradually turned cold, and his eyes suddenly sharpened, "He hurt people, the law punished him, why should I be weak-hearted." ”

Zhou Yang was angry, "Then why don't you want to meet him?! Do you know how important you are to him? Do you know how much you hurt him when you are with others? Especially since that person is still his enemy!"

Luo Luo's face was full of indifference, and she took a cup to wipe it, she lowered her eyes and looked at the body of the cup, the crystal translucent material, but reflected the cold light.

She replied coldly: "Everyone has their own choice, and since he chose to be a murderer, he should have expected that he would be spurned today." It's like when she chose to give up Ning, she had to live in the loneliness of self-punishment like today.

She doesn't struggle, she chooses to accept her fate, because it's all her own choice.

She paid the price, and Qin Hao should also pay the price, otherwise what is Lu Bai who died innocently?

"Okay, I can't tell you, then even if I beg you, okay? You go and see him! We've been good buddies since we were kids, and I don't want me to be unable to do this for him......"

Luo Luo hooked his lips and sneered, and the gaze that suddenly shot at Zhou Yang became sharper and colder. In a blink of an eye, two years have passed, and Zhou Yang in front of him has become more and more upright and handsome, which is very different from the previous immaturity, and his body has lost the flamboyant gangster atmosphere of his youth.

Time can really change everything, it's like magic, and it easily turns a gangster boy into the calm and responsible adult man he is today. But what about Lu Bai, but it always stopped at that age when she was still a little immature, she couldn't blame Ning Shi, her heart didn't allow her to do this, so the grievances that were full of injustice could only fall on Qin Hao and herself in the end.

And now, Zhou Yang, who is enjoying a good youth, appears in front of her with such righteousness and awe, or forcefully or pleadingly asks her to see the murderer.

Despite the efforts of many parties, despite the conclusive evidence of the crime, despite the fact that she testified in court again and again as one of the victims, recalled the tragic scene when Ning Shi was dying, and although she had been waiting for a fair trial by the law, in the end, Qin Hao was still only sentenced to 20 years.

One life, and the suspect was only sentenced to 20 years in prison.

She's crazy, she's unjust, she's grieving, she's hating, she's screaming hysterically in the courtroom, but there's still nothing she can do to stop it......

"We all know what role many of you have played behind this lawsuit, and I think we know each other very well. I don't force the law to take his life, but in the same way, don't expect me to be forced to see him. She slowly leaned closer, her eyes pressed tightly at Zhou Yang, "If it's really because of me, please tell him that it's time to wake up, and no one should be responsible for his life." ”

People always have to learn to look forward, don't they?

Zhou Yang's face changed several times, and finally became depressed, he drank the "Red Lover" in his hand, chewed it a few times, and said, "He committed suicide." ”

Luo Luo was stunned.

"Just three days ago, he committed suicide in prison, thanks to the prison guards who found it in time. Saying that, Zhou Yang took out his mobile phone, edited it a few times, and then clicked send, and the mobile phone Luo Luo carried with him vibrated a few times against his body. He shook the screen of his mobile phone, "The address and phone number have been sent to you, and he kept reading your name when he was unconscious, you think about it clearly, it's up to you whether you go or not." ”

Luo Luo, who Zhou Yang left, couldn't remember clearly, but she knew that once the day passed, he wouldn't come again.

"Look at you, it looks like you're out of love. ”

The dazzling purple sand stone tail ring flashed in front of her eyes and snapped her fingers, Luo Luo came back to her senses, and saw Cheng Xuan's feminine and handsome face, with an inquiring and playful look in his eyes.

Luo Luo pursed the corners of his lips, and his heart gradually rose into vigilance.

From the first day she came to work here, she sensed that this man was dangerous. He had a lot of female guests, and each of them was obedient to him, bowing down under his suit pants, but he could always pass through the thousands of flowers without a single leaf on his body.

I still remember one time, two female guests ordered his table, and scuffled together for this matter, but as long as he hooked his fingers, the two female guests turned into a jade silk, and even one of them even wrapped all the wine that night.

Every time he met him, he always had a different female companion standing next to him, his eyes often showed danger, as if all the people around him were his prey, he was like a leopard ready to hunt, roaming this bar every night, looking for food.

"He's a high school classmate of mine, and he just happened to be here for a drink. ”

Cheng Xuan smiled, "You are too simple, you can answer any question at a glance, can't you see that I am talking to you?"

Luo Luo cleaned up the cups used by the customers at the bar and sneered, "Really, I'm so ordinary-looking, so no one has ever accosted me." ”

Cheng Xuan spread out his hands, indicating that he couldn't agree, "You are very mysterious, you seem to be a person with a lot of stories, and I," his voice suddenly lowered, full of bewilderment, "I like to listen to stories the most." ”

Luo Luo has been in this bar for more than half a year, and she donated all the inheritance that Ning Shi left her, and then she was introduced to work here, the environment is safe, and the time is staggered with the time of class, plus Vincent is a good bartender teacher and senior, she also stayed here with peace of mind.

During this period, she has seen a lot of people, which has made her quickly transform from a blank sheet of paper to a young person who has stepped into society with one foot.

She gave Cheng Xuan a rare glance this time, "This time, I heard a little bit of what you were talking to." ”

Cheng Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing, and the debauchery on his face instantly retracted most of it, and became free and loose.

He turned his back to the bar, where people were still dancing on the dance floor, and it was a rare quiet corner compared to the noisy noise.

"Seriously, I like your character, unassuming, hidden in the crowd, but seeing everything through. ”

Luo Luo shook his head, "It's too exaggerated, I didn't think I was as powerful as you said." She looked at his somewhat gloomy back, and suddenly thought of the rumors she heard at night, so she gossiped with her chin on her chin, "Actually, I'm still a little curious, how did you get into this business in the first place?"

As soon as she asked, she regretted it a little, after all, this involves personal privacy, and may also involve some sad past, which is tantamount to revealing people's faces.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Xuan didn't care much, and replied very lightly: "When I was 16 years old, my family didn't provide for me, I ran out by myself, I didn't know the place well, and I didn't suffer less, and then I was recommended to enter this industry......" He laughed self-deprecatingly.

"I've heard that you rejected Mrs. Lai. With a beginning, she finally got a little bolder.

He raised his eyebrows and glanced back at Luo Luo, "Do you think in your heart that people like me, as long as a rich person hooks his finger, he will pounce on it without hesitation?"

Luo Luo hurriedly shook his head, "I definitely didn't mean that, but I admired you very much after hearing it." ”

In this small corner of the world, lonely men and women are reveling in the lights and wine. It is undeniable that the bar male model itself is a profession that is easy for people to look at with colored glasses. So when she heard that Cheng Xuan had rejected Mrs. Li, she was both surprised and curious.

Cheng Xuan smiled slightly, sadness flashed on his face, and if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't tell the difference at all. He talked eloquently, and seemed to have a rare mood willing to talk: "Actually, you read that right, I'm basically such a person." If it had been five years ago, I would have said yes. But now......" he shook his head and sneered, "I have seen too many people like Mrs. Li, and in their eyes, we male models are just eye-catching playthings, just like the bags in their hands and the shoes they wear on their feet, and they can be thrown away at any time if they like it." ”

"For a long time, I felt like a piece of garbage. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and all kinds of mixed emotions flashed in his eyes, indifference, determination, jealousy, disgust, contempt......

"Have you ever considered changing jobs? She calmly suggested.

Cheng Xuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "I've long been used to this kind of money-squandering life, let me go back to live those poor and sour days again, to be honest, I can't do it." ”

There are always many unexpected corners in life, and we often have to make various choices around the corner. No one knows whether their decision is right or wrong, the future is uncertain, we are stumbling in front of us, and we can only struggle between happiness and unhappiness.

Luo Luo returned to Li Chun's residence in despair, she was completely stationed here half a year ago, so it was convenient to commute to work. As soon as he entered the door, Li Chun pounced on him like an octopus, "Baby, you're finally back." ”

Luo Luo was already half sleepy, like a zombie with an empty body and no soul, "Let go, I'm exhausted." "After standing all night, my heels hurt.

Li Chun really let go, holding her face and looking left and right, "What's wrong with you?

Luo Luo took off his coat and fell into the sofa, "It's nothing, Zhou Yang came to me again today." ”

Li Chun was taken aback, "Why is he? There must be a limit to the inch of the foot, right?!"

Luo Luo looked at the glowing chandelier on the ceiling, and said faintly: "He said that Qin Hao committed suicide." ”

Li Chun stopped talking, once it came to human life, as sharp as her, there was no way to continue to speak ill of each other.

"Actually, I know in my heart that this matter is not all Qin Hao's fault, Ning Shi is just trying to help me out, and he has done a little too much. ”

"Hmm......" Li Chun replied vaguely.

"But people's hearts always preference, so far I don't blame him, if I want to blame myself, if I could have known earlier, and persuaded him well, maybe these things would not have happened. ”

Li Chun secretly slandered in his heart, there are still many things you don't know! A person like Ning Shi who has a very deep city, but if he wants to hide it from you, you don't want to know it in your life.

"So, out of humanitarianism, I should go and see Qin Hao's. ”

"Then why not?"

Luo Luo was silent for a long time, "Because I always feel that I can't forgive him, and I can't forgive myself." ”

This sounds like a crazy man and a woman in a romance novel, grievances and grievances are tangled, like such a deep line, maybe she should record it and wait for the opportunity to use it in the novel.

"Actually, I don't think you have to blame yourself too much, people like Ning Shi are not something you can control at all, you know that not only is it not good, but it is also a lot of harm. She said and patted the court summons on the coffee table that had never been put away, "You just live too seriously, and you care about that fairness, is the society still lacking your fairness?"

"People Ning Shi left you such a large amount of property, you have to give Lu Bai's family a share, and you keep the rest of the flowers yourself, and you have donated them all, now it's okay, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, Lu Bai's seven aunts and eight aunts are now going to fight with you for the inheritance, what about yourself, but you don't even have the money to hire a lawyer, and you have to work every day to earn living expenses, hey...... I'll get angry with you, sister. ”

Luo Luo was a little annoyed when he mentioned this, "I didn't stay with him for his money, and after all, Lu Bai is innocent, I always have to compensate his family." Who would have thought that Lu Bai's father would bite her back.

She used to stroking her wrists to fall asleep, and for some reason, the red pearl bracelet always gave her an inexplicable sense of security. She still dreamed all night long, and it seemed that she had experienced a lot of things in her dreams, but whenever she woke up, her mind was empty.

She sat up, and the next second, the alarm clock at the bedside rang so loudly that her eardrums hurt. She leaned over and tapped it, and the alarm clock immediately went silent.

It was still early, as she expected. She quickly packed up and went out the door lightly.

The classes in her junior year were much more relaxed, and Luo Luo's time became more free, so she went to the school cafeteria for lunch alone because there was still one big class left in the afternoon. Not long after he sat down, the seat opposite was occupied. Luo Luo looked up, and the person who came turned out to be Han Chenyang.

"What a coincidence, I can run into you for a meal, don't you mind being together?" Han Chenyang smiled, still as sunny as ever.

Luo Luo said he didn't mind, so he ate quietly alone.

I don't know when it started, the relationship between her and Han Chenyang, which was slightly stiff because of Nami, seemed to have eased a lot, Luo Luo thought about it carefully, probably after their irregular and quite frequent chance encounters.

There was suddenly an extra pair of chopsticks on the plate, Luo Luo blinked, and saw that the fat chicken leg on the plate was forced into Han Chenyang's plate, she looked at it incredulously, but Han Chenyang said to her quite invisibly: "I'm going to participate in a basketball game recently, practicing muscles, don't you mind giving it to me, right?"

Luo Luo shook her head stupidly, she definitely minded, but she was embarrassed to say that she minded.

"By the way, we have a rehearsal for the stage play in the afternoon, are you here to cheer you on?"

He bit her chicken leg as he spoke, Luo Luoguang felt pain when he looked at it, and then looked at the dishes on his plate, except for the chicken leg that was taken away just now, there was no meat at all.

She took a hateful bite of rice, "I still have classes in the afternoon." ”

"Is it a moment?"

Luo Luo nodded.

"That's fine. Han Chenyang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and laughed heartily, "We also have to start at three o'clock." ”

Luo Luo couldn't stand Han Chenyang's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and finally agreed. She has always kept her promises, so after class, she followed the rehearsal address given by Han Chenyang.

The rehearsal venue was chosen in a large auditorium, where the actors changed their costumes and the props were well arranged. Han Chenyang was wearing a performance costume, and when he saw her, he waved his hand happily to this side. A few classmates noticed it and looked over to this side.

Luo Luo was a little embarrassed, except for Han Chenyang and another senior sister, she didn't know any of the people here, and she had to stubbornly wave her little hand after seeing so many eyes at once.

At the beginning of the second act, Romeo, played by Han Chenyang, is lurking under the balcony at this time, listening to Juliet's affectionate confiding in him, he climbs onto the balcony, and the two hold hands and talk to each other.

The mobile phone in his pocket suddenly buzzed, Luo Luo was afraid of disturbing them, so he sat down under the stage and leaned down slightly, and picked up the phone in a low voice, "Hey?"

Grandma Xu's voice was crying: "Luoluo, your grandfather has an accident......

"What?"

Luo Luo subconsciously raised her voice, and at this moment she didn't even realize that the entire stage stopped. However, at this moment, she didn't have time to think about more, her brain was blank, like a short circuit in the wire, she couldn't think, and most of the time she couldn't even hear what Grandma Xu was saying on the phone, all she could hear clearly was the three words "cerebral hemorrhage".

She put away the phone and subconsciously ran out, because the position she had chosen before was in the middle of the whole row of chairs, so that she stumbled into other chairs halfway. But none of this stopped her from leaving, she just rushed out without discipline.

She didn't know where she had rushed, she only remembered that the day in front of her was translucent, the white light was shining, and the spring breeze was warm, but she was cold with her hands and feet. Obviously, she went to see it two days ago, and her grandfather was very happy, with Grandma Xu by his side, and even the food was more fragrant than before.

How could it be? How could it be......

Someone behind her suddenly grabbed her arm, and she staggered back, only to see that Han Chenyang hadn't even changed his clothes, and his face was full of worry and clearly written.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Luoluo Six Gods has no master, "My grandfather, he suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage." ”

For only a second, Han Chenyang looked firmly, "Let's go, I'll accompany you." ”

She nodded blankly, at this time, it didn't matter who accompanied her, whether there was anyone with her, she just wanted to hurry over and stay with her grandfather.

Grandpa is her life.

When Luo Luo arrived, his grandfather was still lying in the operating room, and Li Chun, who was the second emergency informant, was also late. Grandma Xu stated the situation with a sad face: "Let's go to the garden to relax, I said that the flowers are very beautiful, Lao Luo will pick one for me, but I didn't expect him to stand up straight, his face turned white, and then people will not work...... It's all my fault, it's all my fault......" she said and choked up and cried, and Li Chun immediately stepped forward to pat and comfort her.

Luo Luo didn't say a word the whole time, staring silently at the light on at the door of the operating room, this wait was five hours, everyone was exhausted in anxiety, but worried and uneasy.

Finally, the lights in the operating room went out, the door opened, and the doctor was the first to come out. Several people immediately surrounded him, only to see that the doctor's face was slightly solemn, "The treatment is timely, and it can be temporarily controlled, but the old man is old after all, and his body and bones may not be able to bear it, and it depends on the situation in the next few days." ”

"That is, it is not out of danger yet?" Luo Luo felt his heart cool a lot.

The doctor thought for a moment, "Yes, exactly. Therefore, the next few days are very important, and family members should do a good job of accompanying them. ”

Luo Luo nodded, he was quite calm, at least much calmer than when his grandfather had surgery.

Grandpa was arranged into the ICU ward by the nursing home, and the conditions and equipment were first-class. At this time, I have to thank Ning Shi for taking precautions at the beginning, otherwise these sky-high bills will be pressed down, and I am afraid that grandpa and she will really have no chance at all.

Luo Luo stayed in the ward for 8 days, but his grandfather was still unconscious, and even Grandma Xu was so anxious that she fell ill. After all, it is a husband and wife in their later years, and it can be seen that Grandma Xu really cares about her grandfather, otherwise she would not have fallen ill in bed.

It's just that she can't go to comfort her, because she can't even comfort herself at this moment, she even just wants to scold and anger others, and her good quality and calm character for more than 20 years are useless at this moment.

It turns out that she is so selfish and unfilial. She should accompany her grandfather more, at least at the moment before her grandfather's accident, she should be by his side. How could she be so unfilial, thinking that with Grandma Xu's company, everything would be fine?

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait.

Grandpa, can you still stop and wait for me?

Tears flowed down silently one by one, and then snapped on the pearl on her wrist, her eyes were hazy with tears, and she asked silently: Ning Shi, what should I do?

A few days later, grandpa passed away due to kidney deterioration, Luo Luo was dressed in black, holding grandpa's urn in his hand, Grandma Xu also came to the scene with the sick body, and Grandma Xu's son and daughter-in-law who flew back from abroad, I heard that after the funeral, they will take the old man abroad to support.

The funeral was very solemn, and there were many people who came, some relatives, as well as people from the same village, and more friends made by grandfathers in the sanatorium. His nurse said that he had lived a good life in the past two years and asked her to mourn and change.

Luo Luo is completely alone, there is no one in this world who is connected with her blood, fortunately, there is also a Li Chun who always accompanies her, often she sits quietly, she also nests quietly on the side, and from time to time she has to tell her a funny joke, although those jokes don't sound funny at all.

This year seems to be an eventful year, the star Bryant died unexpectedly, and the major TV stations have repeatedly reported that Li Chun went to the company to sign autographs for book fans, and when he came back, he saw Luo Luo sitting alone on the sofa with the sunglasses she bought for 4,000 yuan not long ago.

She swallowed her saliva unconsciously, walked over, and sure enough, she saw the tears on the girl's face. She patted Luo Luo on the shoulder and tried to comfort, "Don't be sad. "After all, grandpa has been gone for so long, and she should come out too.

Luo Luo sniffed and turned to look at her, but she couldn't see the eyes behind her sunglasses.

She heard Luo Luo muttering, "Even Kobe Bryant is gone." ”

This night, Li Chun opened the document in his notebook and wrote this paragraph on the latest page: It turns out that after those unexpected corners, there are occasional partings and pains, and those who leave may be standing in the clouds at the moment with a relieved smile, while those who remain still have to move forward.

Sleep, dear girl, and perhaps when you wake up again, you will see a gentle glimmer.
