Chapter 21: Lychee
After singing "Cinderella", I walked to the computer to play good music and walked slowly to Rollo. Her eyes were staring straight at me, and when I walked up to her and dragged out a chair to sit beside her, she said lightly, "You can still play the guitar?" I took out a cigarette and lit it, "Didn't you see it all." She said, "It's very good, have you sung it to other little girls?" I shook my head.
"Mr. 15" and "Miss 15" left the bar at 10 o'clock, and before checking out, "Mr. 15" repeatedly checked his mobile phone, and every time "Miss 15" looked at him, he quickly hid her phone and asked her if she needed anything more. "Miss One-Five" always took his arm and said, "No need."
By the time they came the second time, a week had passed, and my relationship with Rollo was a little delicate, no longer as awkward and distant as before, but never a step forward. The arrival of "1:5" this time surprised me, but it was not an accident that their appearance was unexpected.
They were still sitting on the second floor, and they also ordered a cup and a half of Long Island iced tea, but unexpectedly, "Miss 1.5" came down halfway through, she came to the bar, her eyes drifted to the second floor from time to time, and she said to me, "I want two cups this time." I smiled and nodded, and she continued, "By the way, let's get us some snacks, there must be meat, and then I'll secretly knot some of it for you, and you'll tell him a discount later!" After saying that, he rushed to the second floor, and at the corner of the stairs, he turned back and grimaced at me. I smiled and shook my head.
Rollo came to the bar halfway through the break and pointed to the "one o'clock five" upstairs, and I sighed: "The love in my student days is really enviable." She lowered her head, was silent for a moment and then said, "Envy?" I suddenly came to my senses, I looked at her, lowered my head and wiped the cup: "It can be said that you can make an oath, you don't have to think about it in the future, as long as you are happy in each other's hearts, there is light in your eyes, and there is hope in your heart, he is still there next to the pillow, and someone in the dream quilt is also covered for you." She said with some frustration, "Isn't it good?" I handed her a glass of warm water: "Okay, why not, like the three of us old men, we live a boring life every day, and our biggest hope is to live." She moved a bar chair closer to me and continued, "It can be different." I shook my head: "Do you know what is the biggest difference between you and us when you are a student?" She shook her head and pouted, "Isn't it enough to rejoice in your heart?" I smiled: "I still have the sea in my heart, there are mountains and rivers, there are all things in the world that I have never touched, I love this world, I love the vast universe, everything can make my heart happy, so I can't, I can't covet any of them." She said in frustration, "It's time to rest." "She came on stage, and I gave them what they needed for "one point five".
"One o'clock" still left at ten o'clock, but this time I went up to clean up the dishes, and the two cups were placed on the boys' side, and I still discounted them at the checkout on the grounds that "there is only one table of guests tonight", not because "Miss One-Five" settled part of the bill, but simply because, I like to watch them love what they love.
Luo Luo sat in front of the bar and played with her mobile phone, I poured two glasses of wine, walked to her and dragged out a chair to sit down, she put down her mobile phone, and said to me in a somewhat pleading tone: "I also want to see the mountains and seas you love, and I also want to accompany you through every corner you want to go." I was stunned, I suddenly thought of Du Kang and Tian Hui, and I suddenly laughed.
I looked at her, "Maybe I'm a coward." She asked me suspiciously, "What's the matter?" and I smiled at her and said, "I once knew a couple of lovers, they were not lovers, they were not lovers, they were lovers, because they loved each other, but they were not together." She asked me again, "And then?" I took a sip of wine and pulled out a cigarette: "They have said the same thing to each other, but they are crazy." She looked at me quietly, I took a puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled, my head was a little dizzy, and I said, "They have also run for each other, tossing half the world. Rollo asked, "Are they together?" and I shook my head, "They will never be together." Rollo seemed to realize something, and then asked, "What about us?" I looked at her, lowered my head and shook it again, and after a while, I just said, "I don't know." The two fell silent.
What I didn't tell Rollo was that I had a bright light in someone's eyes, that kind of love that couldn't be hidden, even though I had let go of that knot in my heart, but I would never light up that kind of expectation again. I didn't tell her: the mountains, rivers and seas can be seen together, and the beauty of the world can be appreciated together, but the future is no longer promising, and I can't live up to a person whose eyes are full of me.
The meaning of "one point five" is that the lives of two people should be "two", but when two people only have one point and five, each person is willing to pay their own "one" for each other, and the most important thing I didn't tell Rollo is that I don't want to settle for "zero point five", but I want to give her the "one" I have.
I'm lazy, and I'm not so active in such trivial tasks as brushing dishes and mopping the floor. It turned out that it wasn't my turn when the landlord was there, and now he is also intoxicated with half of the gentle township. According to Lin's words, since he turned from apprentice to full-time, he has vowed that he will never wash a cup again. After Lin returned to Guilin, we had a meeting and decided that our bar had been missing a waiter, so we had one.
Lychee is a boy, somewhat shy, and is also Rollo's apprentice. My first impression of him was very good, she was brought by Rollo, polite, and it is said that she was also one of the only classmates who did not fall into Rollo when the rumors spread throughout the department, Rollo and Lychee also met through the top ten singers on campus, Lychee is from the Student Union Activities Department.
On the night of his first day on the job, his boyfriend came to pick him up from work, and at first we didn't know it was his boyfriend. His boyfriend is also very gentle, and when we learned that he was waiting for Lychee to get off work, we invited him to join us for a drink and play games.
We knew that their relationship was on an afternoon when I was shopping for some ingredients that I hadn't bought in the morning, and I looked at two familiar backs in front of me, holding hands and walking around the farmer's market. I walked up and said hello: "Lychee, you guys are also here to buy vegetables." Lychee and her boyfriend looked back and saw me and quickly let go of the clenched hand, I smiled: "Do you usually cook by yourself?" Lychee nodded a little hesitantly: "Well, well, yes." He was a little nervous, but his boyfriend still had a gritty look in his eyes. I said to them, "I'm here to buy some groceries, why don't we go to the bar for dinner in the evening?" Lychee hurriedly said: "No, no need, we, ah, no, I'll make some myself at home." I smiled: "It doesn't matter, it just so happens that Lin and I are the only ones to eat together today." Without waiting for their answer, I walked forward, and the two of them hesitated for a moment before following me.
At the dinner table, I asked, "How long have you been together?" They were stunned and hesitated, and then I said, "What's this, although we are old, we are not so old-fashioned." Lychee lowered her head and whispered, "It's been two years, and I met when I was just in college." I ate and continued, "Yes, if you want to pick him up from work or wait for him to come, you don't have to sit alone like that night." The boy hesitated a little and asked, "You guys, don't you think we ......" I raised my head and asked jokingly, "You guys, what's wrong?" The boy lowered his head and didn't speak.
I went on to say, "If you can be with someone you like, you just have to like it." They nodded. After I was full, I stood up and stretched: "Lin is just one more apprentice to help, if you don't dislike it, you can also come to work part-time." The boy was a little sluggish and raised his head: "Ahhhhh I said again, "Pack these up when you're full, Lin, you go out with me." ”
I've always felt guilty about Rollo, but since Xiaoyu, I've tried to accept her, as I said to Lychee: "If you can be with someone you like, you just like it." I asked Lin, "What do you think of Rollo?" He shook his head: "It's good, I miss you and Lao Fang together, so that we can pay one less salary." I smiled and didn't speak. I asked Lin to come out to choose a gift with me, and for Rollo to pay for so long, I should make her less chilled.
Picking a gift has always been one of my biggest headaches, whether it's a friend's birthday or something else, I'd rather give a big red envelope. In the past, if Tian Hui was still there, Tian Hui would choose a gift for me. Lin and I walked around the street, neither of us liked to go shopping, and after a long time, we had no clue.
In desperation, we had to call Miss Q, only to hear the landlord complaining on the other side, blaming us for disturbing their two-person world. Ms. Q said that no girl can resist the temptation of lipstick. But Miss Q didn't tell us, provided that the shade matched the girl's skin.
I thought that little girls generally liked pink, and Lin was very much in favor of this idea, so at seven o'clock that night, when Rollo came to the bar, I gave her my gift------ Miss Coco 454.
I scratched my head in embarrassment and handed over the gift box, Rollo was obviously shocked, she probably didn't expect to be killed, I could take the initiative to give her a gift. She was shocked and happily accepted the gift, I scratched my head and said, "That, I don't know what you like, I haven't given you anything since I've known you for so long, I don't know if you like this or not." She took the gift box, looked at it with a sparkle in her eyes, and said to me excitedly: "I like it, I like it, as long as you give it, I like it." I said, "Open it and take a look, and if it's not suitable, you'll leave." She hurriedly hugged her and said anxiously: "Don't retreat, this is what you gave me, it must be suitable." I smirked, "Then you can open it and take a look." She hurriedly opened the gift box, and inside was a delicate black box with the words "CHANEL" and "COCO" written on it. She opened the delicate box again, and inside was a bottle of perfume, and next to the perfume lay quietly the "454" carefully selected by Lin and me.
