Chapter 24: Never Again
No matter how good it once was, it can't compete with the erosion of the years after separation. Eventually, the two people who are lost on the road will encounter new scenery with their memories, and this memory will gradually fall into dust over time until they are completely buried by the dust.
Lin Jiaming and Gu Kai arrived at the "Hongyang Barbecue" restaurant, and the long-haired man and his group of 6 people had already arrived, sitting under the tree near the roadside. Seeing the two coming, he said a little provocatively.
"It's kind of a handle! Talking is a word, it's really coming!"
"Although I don't want to care, I can't let the villain look flat~ Say, how to fight?" Gu Kai pulled a chair and sat opposite the long-haired man, while Lin Jiaming sat next to him. The two looked at Xiao Jie, who was sitting next to the long-haired man, and Xiao Jie also looked at the two, and then lowered her head again.
"Well, you can pick anyone here with me. Drink down and win!" said the long-haired man with a contemptuous laugh.
"That means that I pick people, are you going to fight?" Gu Kai sat up straight and leaned back.
"Let's just say that. After all, there are a lot of us. The long-haired man looked victorious.
"Then the two of us, pick all of you, except her!" Gu Kai pointed to Xiao Jie beside the long-haired man.
The long-haired man frowned, and looked at Xiao Jie beside him with some displeasure.
"Good!"
"You picked up this drink, so you will pay the bill!" Gu Kai continued.
"Yes!"
"Drink liquor!"
"Yes!"
"Boss, let's have two bottles of 'Mu Chun' first!" Gu Kai slapped the table and shouted at the bar counter in the store.
"Okay! Two bottles of 'Mu Chun'! Wait a minute!" the chubby middle-aged man at the bar responded.
"Muchun" is a special liquor in X City, with a rich aroma and a soft and sweet entrance, which makes people feel like they are bathed in the spring breeze. However, there is also a lot of stamina.
"Go, order some barbecue!" the long-haired man nudged Xiao Jie beside him. Seeing this, Gu Kai was a little angry, but he couldn't hold back and didn't have a seizure.
After a while, the wine came up, and along with it was a large plate of kebabs. Gu Kai directly asked the waiter to replace the small wine glass with Wan. Two bottles of wine were gone when the fourth bowl was poured, so two more bottles were added later, and everyone had a full bowl in front of them.
"Come, do it!" Gu Kai picked up the bowl and called. Maybe it's too excited, but the word "dry" is also read in four tones. A table of people picked up the bowl, did not drag, and directly poured the bowl full of liquid named Muchun into the stomach. Lin Jiaming, who has always been unable to drink liquor, also drank it all.
The guests at the table next to them all stared at them with wide eyes, as if they were looking at aliens. After all, those who drink Mu Chun like this in X City are them. However, Lin Jiaming didn't care what the guests at other tables thought, their eyes only had anger in the long-haired man's room and insistence on this victory related to dignity, although Lin Jiaming was already in a trance at this time, but he still held on. Looking at Gu Kai again, this guy was looking at the long-haired man viciously, and there was no big reaction to the others, after all, this kid could drink.
However, the long-haired man and his party on the opposite side were a little cowardly. Two people lay directly on the table after drinking, and the other two stared at Gu Kai with a little blank eyes. Only the long-haired man, pretending to be calm, continued to provoke.
"I think you guys are dying! If you can't, throw in the towel!"
"Admit defeat? It's your people, no, right?" Gu Kai sneered, he was determined to fight the long-haired man to the end. He doesn't care about others, just this long-haired man, he can't let go, from his various actions to Xiaojie!
Lin Jiaming glanced at Gu Kai with a confused look in his eyes. Gu Kai knew that Lin Jiaming had reached the limit, brother, this is what it looks like at this time. Gu Kai patted Lin Jiaming's shoulder and signaled that he was okay. Lin Jiaming blinked, and with a "dang" sound, his head slammed directly on the table, and an empty wine bottle bounced up, fell to the ground, and shattered.
The surrounding customers were frightened by the sudden sound and once again focused their eyes. The waiter walked over, looked at the three people lying on the table, shook his head, and squatted down to clean up the broken glass shards.
"Your friend is gone, I wonder how you are?" the long-haired man began to provoke again.
"It's okay to drink you. Gu Kai was not annoyed anymore, seeing Lin Jiaming falling, Gu Kai was much more sober. It's worth it to have such a friend!" "Boss, two more bottles of Mu Chun!" Gu Kai looked at the more than half bottle of Mu Chun left on the table, it didn't seem to be enough to solve the annoying face in front of him.
Hearing Gu Kai call for two more bottles, the long-haired man's brows furrowed slightly. However, because it was dark and under the dim street lamp, no one saw it.
"Guest, you've drunk so much! For the sake of your health, I won't sell you the wine! You can heat up your skewers again, and see that you haven't eaten much!" The fat boss walked out and handed out two cigarettes with a grin. Gu Kai and the long-haired man both took their cigarettes and lit them separately. The fat boss handed it to the two friends next to the long-haired man who didn't lie down, they didn't say anything, and still looked at Gu Kai blankly.
"They won't!" said the long-haired man.
The fat boss put the cigarette back into the cigarette case, and asked the waiter to bring the meat skewers on the table to heat it up, so he pulled a chair and sat next to it.
"Brother, what's the matter, so happy? I've been running this barbecue restaurant for a few years, and it's the first time I've seen you drink Mu Chun like this. ”
"Boss, it's okay, we just want to see who has the best drink! Gu Kai took a deep puff of his cigarette and threw his head up into the sky. I didn't smoke before, so I don't know when I smoked it. If Lin Jiaming was still sober at the moment, he would definitely be beaten up.
"Wine, let's drink well, don't get drunk! Although Mu Chun tastes good, he has great stamina. You're going to have an accident with this way of drinking!"
"Boss, listen to you! Let's finish the remaining half of the bottle!" the long-haired man heard the boss say this, and immediately got off the donkey. Xiao Jie next to her still didn't say a word, but there was more sadness and loneliness in her eyes.
"Boss, 10 more skewers of barbecue!"
"It's here!" the boss got up and signaled that he was going to get busy, and Gu Kai and the long-haired man nodded at the same time.
"Come on! That's it!" Gu Kai looked at the long-haired man opposite, and then at Xiao Jie. Perhaps sensing that someone was looking at her, Xiao Jie raised her head and just met Gu Kai's gaze. At that moment, both of them were a little embarrassed. Xiao Jie hurriedly turned her head to the side, and Gu Kai stopped looking at her.
Half a bottle of wine, pour it into a bowl for two people, and half a bowl for each person. Gu Kai was not verbose, and did it directly. However, the long-haired man looked at the half bowl of white wine, his throat moved, and he reluctantly drank it. Gu Kai looked at the long-haired man like this and smiled slightly.
"Hello, your skewers!" the waiter brought the hot skewers.
Gu Kai looked at the plate of skewers and said to the long-haired man.
"The boss doesn't sell alcohol anymore, this skewer can't be wasted, go on!" After saying that, he picked up the skewer and began to eat.
"Come on!"
The two of them finished eating the skewers one by one. There were people at the table, only Gu Kai, the long-haired man and Xiao Jie were still on the edges, and the others were lying on the table.
"Today, it's a draw!" said the long-haired man as he stood up and touched his stomach.
"It's a pity, I didn't beat you!"
"Then go down...... Wow~" Before the long-haired man finished speaking, he felt a churning in his stomach, and hurriedly turned around and hugged the tree next to him. Seeing this, Xiao Jie next to him hurriedly picked up the tissue on the table and handed it to him, patting him on the back.
Seeing this scene, Gu Kai understood. stood up, put Lin Jiaming on the shelf, looked at Xiao Jie again, and whispered.
"You are so self-conscious!May we ~ never see you again!"
