Chapter 8: A Chance Encounter at a Bar

NO.24

Late at night with five days to go before the final exams, Jayjack's Bar was overcrowded, with all kinds of thugs and college students from nearby schools.

Jacquet Bar is in an excellent location, at the junction of universities and vocational schools.

Students are always a huge consumer group, especially college students, who have broken free from the arms of their parents and the shackles of teachers, and the living expenses of more than 2,000 yuan per month cannot meet their increasingly comparable consumption needs.

Even so, they are still holding on, believing that the best four years of their lives should be spent this way, and they are convinced of it.

I took advantage of the last weekend before the exam to go to the bar that my third uncle had worked hard to run for many years, as usual.

Lying in my private room, I couldn't sleep, not because the bar was too noisy. As the future successor of the bar, I still have the right to use a private room with excellent sound insulation for free, not to mention that I have a room of my own.

There's only one reason why I can't sleep, and that's upset, unspeakable annoyance, the kind that wants to hit people and smash things. But I can't, I'm going to be heartbroken if I break anything here, because it's our own money that we're losing.

I stood at the bar in a daze, it was late at night, I couldn't think of anything I could do to pass the time, and an idea popped into my mind, whether to go to the third uncle's office to play with the computer.

"It's almost exam, you don't study well, and you're still in the mood to come to the bar. "Why is Gong Zi, it's really a narrow road, why is he everywhere.

"And why are you here?" I asked rhetorically.

"Too lazy to tell you...... As a classmate, I think it is necessary to advise you, there are many fish and dragons here, and if you are not careful, you will offend people, so be careful not to get into trouble. "Since the last time I didn't lend him a note, he seems to have a deep hostility towards me. Heaven and earth conscience, I really don't have the habit of taking notes, but I don't bother to explain it to him.

I don't know if it's hypocrisy or really out of good intentions, Gong Zi, I think there is a layer of hazy feeling on him, which is incomprehensible.

Seeing Gong Zi walk into the waiter's changing room, I suddenly seemed to understand something in my heart, but I still have to verify it.

I walked into the third uncle's office.

"You don't have a good rest in the room so late, why did you come to me, is the bar too noisy and disturbs your rest? The third uncle will send someone to send you home immediately...... No, your dad must have lost his temper again when he came home so late...... That's okay, go to the third uncle's house, it just so happens that your sister Ning is at home alone, you go to be a companion. ”

Seeing the nervous appearance of the third uncle, I suddenly had a feeling of being surrounded by warm currents in the ice and snow. In the whole family, the third uncle is always the best one for me and Zhong Xiaojie at any time.

"Sister Jianing has come back from Beijing! Why didn't you tell me in advance, I didn't even go to the airport to pick her up...... I'd better go see her tomorrow morning, it's too late to delay her rest. "Sister Jianing is the daughter of the third uncle, the little princess of our family, the whole family likes her very much, and she is super super good-looking.

"It's okay, then you go home with the third uncle tomorrow morning...... You haven't told me why you didn't come to my office at night. ”

"I couldn't sleep because of insomnia, and I wanted to come over and play with the computer to pass the time, but now there is one thing I'm particularly curious about and want to figure out. "I had a hunch that I was going to discover something untold, and I was looking forward to it.

"If you can't sleep, I won't force you to go to sleep, I want to figure out something, the third uncle will tell you. ”

"Third uncle, do any students in our bar work part-time here to earn money?"

"Yes. There is a university near the bar, and the college students in it come to work as waiters when they don't have classes. ”

"Are there any high school students besides college students?"

"Probably not. High school students don't have as much time as college students, and it's a critical period to prepare for the college entrance examination, so how can there be high school students working part-time in bars. ”

There were too many uncertainties in the third uncle's words, and I decided to go to the changing room to find out in person, but I was afraid that facing Gong Zi directly would cause some unnecessary trouble.

"Third uncle, you are busy first, I'll go to the bar and sit for a while. ”

How could I tell the third uncle that his classmates work part-time in the bar, in case Gong Zi is bought by the third uncle one day, then wouldn't he know all about my situation at school, and it would be better to have a little privacy.

"It's too late, drink less!" I said to go to the bar, and the third uncle thought I was going to drink, so he specially told me a few words.

The third uncle has always been the kind of particularly open-minded person, in his opinion, it is not surprising that high school students drink and smoke, but he doesn't know that his eldest nephew is not angry, and he can't do it all.

Zhong Keyu was too lazy to waste his tongue to explain, now that he had more important things to do, he walked out of the office with two "um" sounds.

At the duty manager, I, Holmes, learned about Gong Zi without much difficulty, and instantly felt a special sense of accomplishment.

NO.25

At the same time that I inquired about Gong Zi from the manager on duty, Gong Zi seemed to know my identity from the mouths of the other waiters.

I envy Gong Zi's state of existence, he is jealous of my living conditions, at this age, everyone has different troubles.

It was only after many years that I realized that everyone has their own story, some stories are simple and clear and easy to understand at first reading, and some stories have complex plots with twists and turns.

The bar, which only comes at night, has that atmosphere, and once the sun comes out, its mystery disappears with the darkness.

21:00~4:00 is the opening hours of Jay Jie Bar. It doesn't change because of someone or something.

At four o'clock in the morning, when I was about to open the car door and get into the car, Gong Zi finished her part-time job and was ready to go home. We looked at each other, but we had nothing to say.

In this way, at the same time, in the same space, two completely different people, went to two completely different paths.

NO.26

I met Sister Jianing, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, and she became even more beautiful than before. Sister Jianing is a genius in a million, only one year older than me, and has now graduated from a prestigious university because of skipping a grade, and is about to study abroad.

At school, I still have a slight sense of superiority, but I don't dare to mention my grades in front of Sister Jia Ning.

At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I never realized that I was so much worse than a genius like Sister Jianing, and now we are chatting together, full of pressure, maybe when a few professional terms or new terms pop out of my mouth, I will be speechless.

NO.27

"Students, after a weekend of rest, I believe that everyone is in the best state now, seize the time to review well, and face the final exam this Wednesday with a winning mentality...... Do you have confidence!" Every time I come back from the weekend vacation, Mr. Hou designates to come to the class to get a few injections of chicken blood to arouse the students' enthusiasm for learning, and as a fine tradition of the first and second classes of high school, they are working hard all the time to carry forward and develop.
