043 Freemasonry
Qiu Yan was dressed in black, walking alone on the already thick snow, accompanied by his own shadow stretched and shortened by the street lamp from time to time, behind him were the footprints in the snow, which were not deep or shallow, and the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and these footprints would soon be covered by new snow, completely disappearing into a white expanse, as if they had never appeared.
The world is wonderful.Sometimes people's wishes come true when they come true.Qiu Yan just had the idea of getting drunk.He found that there was a bar not far in front of him.The inside was brightly lit.Qiu Yan walked in without hesitation.
He habitually chose a corner to sit down, and here he could see all the guests coming and going at the gate, but it was very difficult for others to notice casually.
I came here to get drunk, so I ordered the easy-to-get drunk XO.
It's easy to get drunk when you drink alone, not to mention that you are already drunk, Qiu Yan pours himself a drink, cup after cup, and soon gets a little drunk.
The night is deep, although it is a winter night, there are not a few customers in the bar, the metropolis is prosperous and lonely, behind the dazzling neon is boundless darkness, behind the laughter is often unsolvable decadence and anxiety.
Qiu Yan couldn't help but start laughing at himself in his heart.In the eyes of outsiders, he was a typical successful person.Young and rich, handsome and chic, highly educated, experienced, with a strong family background, and an independent and successful career.But tonight he still became a member of the drunken army.
Because of love, Qiu Yan asked himself, yes and no.
Don't think about it.Since you want to get drunk, isn't it just because you don't want to?Qiu Yan chuckled.He thought that the ancients said that it was difficult to be confused.It makes sense for people to live too clearly but not to see it.It's better not to understand.If you can't see it, it means that you don't really understand.
A gust of cold wind poured in as the door of the bar was pushed open again.Qiu Yan casually glanced at the new guests, and couldn't help but be stunned.
The customer entered the bar and walked towards the bar, she was supposed to sit on the edge of the bar, but when she habitually looked into the corner, she saw Qiu Yan at a glance.
It may not be easy for others to notice the corner where Qiu Yan sits, but she has a habit: when she enters a certain room, she first looks into the most unnoticeable corner.
When they looked at each other, they were both stunned, neither of them expected to see each other here, just as they hadn't expected their first meeting tonight.
The guest who just came in was none other than Weng Yu.
Fate.
Both of them saw surprise and puzzlement in each other's eyes.But two seconds.Even though she was slightly drunk.Qiu Yan quickly regained her composure.Smiling at Weng Yu.Motioning for her to come over.Weng Yu was at a loss for a while.After many years of experience in the workplace, she quickly regained her proper demeanor.
"Shouldn't you have stayed at home with your father at this time?
"Aren't you supposed to be with the moon picker, how did you come here alone?"
"Then neither of us should ask each other why, what do you want to drink, I invite you." Qiu Yan smiled, no longer dwelling on this issue.
After all, the relationship between the two is that of the boss and the employee.Some things are not easy to say too clearly.Even for Caiyue.Qiu Yan has to have reservations.Because different relationships determine how close you can get to this person.
"Mr. Qiu, I will drink whatever you want." Weng Yu glanced at xo on the table and lowered his head and said.
Qiu Yan didn't stop Weng Yu from calling him.This kind of night and such a place is ambiguous enough to make people have bad associations.He doesn't want to make this ambiguity even more intense because of human factors.He is still sober now.Some people have some things that are better not to cross that line.Otherwise, it will hurt others and hurt themselves.The Weng Yu in front of him is.
"You'd better switch to a different bar. This one isn't for you."
"It's my birthday. Weng Yu's words were a little sad.
"Your birthday, isn't it your father's birthday?" Qiu Yan was really a little surprised.
"Actually, my father and I have the same birthday."
She rarely mentions her birthday to others, because her birthday is also the death day of her mother.Mother gave birth to her and died due to difficult childbirth.Her father loves her mother deeply.She is afraid that her stepmother will treat her badly.She has never remarried in her life.So she doesn't like to celebrate her birthday since she was a child.And her father is only a few years old.Only on his birthday does he eat a bowl of symbolic longevity noodles.But he never eats any birthday cake.
Qiu Yan didn't speak again, and asked the waiter to pass the cup.
The amber wine is poured into the glass, and it shimmers in the light of a gorgeous glow, making people's hearts ripple together.
Weng Yu looked at Qiu Yan, bitter and aggrieved, intertwined, tonight is her birthday, it is a woman's most happy and sad day, unfortunately what happened to her was sadness and blow.
Thinking of her, Weng Yu has always been an arrogant woman in the eyes of men.Beautiful, smart and well versed in the rules of the workplace.Left and right in the social field.Comfortable in the social field.There are countless men who pursue her.There are not a few excellent elites.
She is not the kind of woman who worships money for profit, everything is measured by money and status, and she loves Qiu Yan from the bottom of her heart.
When she entered Jury International, she was not a newcomer to the workplace, but she was not as mature and sophisticated as she is now.
She really lived up to Qiu Yan's expectations.A year later, she was able to stand alone.Once she and Qiu Yan were also a good story in the circle.Many people talked about them.She was sweet and happy in her heart when she heard it.But Qiu Yan has always cared about her from a moderate distance.Never had a step beyond Lei Chi's words and deeds.This gentlemanly demeanor that once fascinated her slowly became a pain that she couldn't get rid of.
Now, years later, he's still her boss, she's still his department manager.
The elderly father is used to going to bed early in the winter.Qiu Yan and Caiyue washed up and fell asleep as soon as they left.Weng Yu knew very well that this would be another sleepless weekend night.In this case, why bother herself in bed.So when her father fell asleep, she left the house.
But why is he here?
Wasn't you still so happy with her more than half an hour ago.You should have been satisfied.But now you're getting drunk here.It's because of your she.There's another one by your side.It seems that the rumors are true.You've met an opponent that even you can't deal with.
Why.Why do you know that Caiyue can be so tolerated by other men.But you turn a blind eye to my affection.Weng Yu's heart aches.She doesn't understand.She really doesn't understand.Is there really so much difference between herself and Caiyue in Qiu Yanxin.
The crisp sound of clinking glasses gently knocked on Weng Yu's already broken heart, and she drank the wine in the glass.
Qiu Yan glanced at Weng Yu and didn't stop her.
He understands Weng Yu's mood, because his mood at the moment is similar to hers. The woman he loves deeply is lying in the arms of another man at the moment.
Since it is sympathy for the same disease, since we all know that the other party has the intention to get drunk, it is better to be frustrated, to be frustrated, to be sad and sad, and to avoid adding the sadness of being drunk alone.
Neither of them talked much, but they drank a lot, and the wine in the bottle was about to bottom out, and both of them began to get drunk.
"Do you want to open another bottle?" Qiu Yan asked Weng Yu, although he was the boss, Weng Yu was a lady after all.
"Why not." Weng Yu smiled at Qiu Yan slightly drunkenly.
"You really want to not get drunk and not go home."
"yes, even if it's my birthday wish." Weng Yu smiled again, but this smile was a bit self-deprecating.
But Weng Yu thinks she can be considered happy, because the night of her birthday is after all drinking with the man she loves, although he didn't ask her out on purpose.
"How do I say no, wouldn't it be too ungentlemanly, or even too inhumane, if I refused?" Qiu Yan's words made both of them laugh.
This is the first time that the two of them have laughed out loud like this tonight, and the sudden laughter makes the quiet bar seem a little more lonely, because this laughter is not all laughter, but more helplessness, self-deprecation, and lingering melancholy.
The two of them talked without saying a word, although they were a little drunk, but the remaining reason made the two of them still careful not to touch some of the topics, which made both of them drink a little depressed, but originally both of them came to get drunk, so neither of them wanted to leave.
The second bottle of wine has bottomed out again, and the people in the bar are almost gone.
"You're drunk, you can't drink anymore, I'll take you home." Qiu Yan said to Weng Yu, who was already drunk and hazy.
"No, I'm not drunk, didn't you say you wanted to get drunk with me, didn't you say that it's ungentlemanly and inhumane not to fulfill my birthday wishes, you see what you said, I remember it so clearly, it proves that I'm not drunk."
Weng Yu resolutely refused.She wanted to make herself completely drunk tonight.Don't think about that damn love at all.Don't think about Qiu Yan.Why should I think about it alone.Aren't others by my side now.I'm going to continue drinking.I don't have to think about it anymore when I can't drink anymore.
"Okay, you're not drunk, I'm drunk, if you drink any more, no one will send you home. Qiu Yan persuaded Weng Yu in a different way, since she didn't think she was drunk, then reason with her.
"Why do you want to go home, I don't want to go home, I don't want to go back alone, I don't want to go back and cry stupidly until dawn."
Weng Yu was drunk, her reason could no longer control her suppressed love, and finally revealed the secret that she had been carefully guarding for Qiu Yan that was no longer a secret to Qiu Yan.
But there are some secrets that even the whole world already knows, but secrets are secrets, and what can't be said is what can't be said.
