Chapter 4: Old Friends Reunited
The overly enthusiastic eyes quickly attracted the attention of the man who played the guitar, and the four eyes met in the humid air, Gu Xiangyang's heart was suffocated, and he forgot to breathe.
The man ordered him a glass of dry martini, which he tasted slowly, slightly bitter. But when I drank it, there was a kind of bitterness and a different kind of sweetness. Before he knew it, he had the whole cocktail in his stomach.
The man smiled at him, the music stopped, he put down the guitar in his hand and slowly walked towards him, at this time Gu Xiangyang was slightly drunk, everything in front of him was a little shaky, and he couldn't see clearly.
"Hello. He greeted himself suddenly, and his voice was as low as the melody of a violin. In a daze, he seemed to see Xiao Zhu smiling at him, he took his hand and smiled stupidly: "Xiao Zhu, are you back?"
The man frowned and sighed helplessly: "It's only a cocktail, you are so drunk, I knew I wouldn't let you drink it." ”
"I ...... I'm not drunk!" Gu Xiangyang got up and wanted to leave, but his legs were weak, and the whole person fell into the man's arms. The man put his arm around him and was startled: "You can rest in the small attic above first." I'll help you up. ”
Gu Xiangyang could only let him help him upstairs, there was a small bed in the small attic, soft, with a man's faint body fragrance.
His fair face was flushed with ruddy, and he was a little unrealistically beautiful. The man smiled involuntarily, covered him with a quilt, branded a kiss on his forehead, and said, "My name is Mu Ting, remember this name." ”
Mu Ting was about to leave, but Gu Xiangyang took his hand: "Little pillar, you are not allowed to leave! You are standing here and are not allowed to leave! Fool, didn't you tell you to wait for me to come back? It's all because you are disobedient, so you can't find it." ”
Mu Ting was helpless and muttered the name: "Little pillar?"
Gu Xiangyang slept for an afternoon, and when he woke up, it was already night, and it was the busiest moment of the bar, but the bar was quiet both day and night. Gu Xiangyang stretched and looked around the small attic. Although it is small, the environment is nice and the furnishings are clean and tidy.
There is only a simple bookshelf and a computer in the small attic, and there is a note on the computer desk, Gu Xiangyang took the note and looked at it, it read: The computer and the bookshelf can be used casually, you are welcome.
Vaguely remembering, he seemed to say...... What is your name? Gu Xiangyang took a deep breath and looked at the window, it was already completely dark, and after thinking about it, it was better to go back. When I went downstairs, there were quite a lot of people in the bar, sitting in twos and drinking and chatting, and there was no loud noise.
He wanted to leave quietly, but as soon as he walked out of the bar, a clerk hurriedly chased after him, handed him a thin coat, and said, "Sir, this is what our manager asked me to send to you." ”
"Huh?" Gu Xiangyang stared at the coat handed over by the clerk in a daze, and took it for a long time, and asked suspiciously, "Your store manager...... Yes?"
The clerk didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and said a painless sentence with a smile: "Our store manager is a good person." ”
Gu Xiangyang blackened, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, nodded and turned around and strode out of the bar. Three days later, when he took out his coat that was to be dry-cleaned recently, he suddenly saw the gray coat he had brought back from the bar that day, and then he remembered that there was such an incident.
Anyway, there is nothing else to do tonight, why don't you dry clean your clothes and go to the bar on the way to return your coat? Thinking like this, Gu Xiangyang went out.
The second time I came to the bar, it was the same as that day, it was still the boy playing and singing at the bar dance, and his voice was very good, and then he only played, not sang. Most of the guests in the bar are here for him. There are even many scouts and musicians who want to poach him, but he always politely refuses for various reasons.
Gu Xiangyang ordered a glass of juice as usual, listened to his playing quietly, and forgot the purpose of coming to him, and unconsciously it was about eleven o'clock, the people in the bar gradually dispersed, and Mu Ting jumped off the stage and came to the people: "Let's meet again." ”
Mu Ting seemed to be very calm, but he was actually very nervous, and he took a few deep breaths before he dared to face his bright eyes.
"Uh, I...... Well, is your store manager there?"
Mu Ting smiled: "Yes." ”
"Can I trouble you and return this dress to your store manager. Saying that, Gu Xiangyang handed the belt with the clothes in his hand in front of Mu Ting.
Mu Ting raised his eyebrows: "Are you here to return the clothes?" said and took the clothes from his hand.
"Well, yes. Gu Xiangyang smiled a little shyly, he always thought that he was well protected by his sister, and he had never been in contact with outsiders over the years, so in front of strangers, it was inevitable that he would be a little recognizable.
"You still washed it?" Mu Ting smiled and said to him seriously: "Thank you." ”
"Uh...... You're welcome. Gu Xiangyang seemed to think of something and said: "Thank you for taking me in for an afternoon that day, it's really disturbing, it's not early, I'll go back first." ”
Mu Ting took his hand in a hurry: "Then are you still here?" ...... tomorrow."
"I ...... I don't know tomorrow, but if I have time, I'll definitely come. When he said this, Gu Xiangyang already regretted it.
"Really? I'll wait for you tomorrow. ”
"I mean, I probably won't be here tomorrow, you don't have to wait for me. Gu Xiangyang said with a frown.
"It's okay, I'm still waiting for you. I'll treat you to a drink the next time you come. Mu Ting said with a smile.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't drink, I ...... I'll go first. Gu Xiangyang left the bar as if he had fled. Mu Ting looked puzzled, touched his chin and thought, "Am I really so terrible? Why do you want to run away?"
Suddenly, a handsome guy grabbed his shoulder from behind: "I said Tingting, are you too enthusiastic and scared people, it's not good to be in a hurry." ”
"I think it's normal, not too enthusiastic and not too cold. Mu Ting thought for a while and smiled: "But I still like his performance like a white rabbit." ”
"Look, the potential of the big bad wolf has come out, you better take it easy, don't scare away a good little white rabbit. ”
"Crow's Beak, you have time to worry about me, you might as well care more about your own life's work. Mu Ting hit the clerk Lin Dong's chest with his elbow. I turned around and went back to the bar statement.
The hotel has not made any money, and the reason why he runs this bar is purely for fun. But before he knew it, he fell in love with it. If nothing else, it's almost a day spent here.
He is the only son in the family, the family is quite wealthy, and his parents are very enlightened people, he will never stop him from doing anything, and he has developed his casual self-nature over a long time. But he didn't think there was anything wrong with that.
These two days are the days of chemotherapy, waiting for the results of chemotherapy to make Gu Xiangyang spend his days like years, and his sister will go to the hospital every time to see the results. But this time, Gu Xiangyang refused to be accompanied by his sister. It may be that she has been worrying too much lately, and she hasn't persisted.
Gu Xiangyang took the chemotherapy order alone, and got a good news, because of the effect of the experimental drug, coupled with the good results of chemotherapy, his cancer cells have been as small as a grain of yellow, and there is no trace of respread, as long as he persists for a while, he may be able to be completely cured! Although Gu Xiangyang is a restrained and shy person, he couldn't help but hug the doctor and cry at that moment, and thanked him vigorously.
The doctor smiled: "You should be thankful for yourself, you have never given up treatment in the past few years, and you are brave enough to face every day of life, people's mentality really determines everything, as long as you believe, miracles will exist." ”
The first person he notified was his sister, Gu Wanwan heard the news, and said happily and proudly: "This has long been expected by me, I have always believed that my Xiaoyang can do it!"
Gu Xiangyang's eyes were wet, if his sister hadn't been by his side, then he wouldn't be where he is today.
In order to celebrate his improvement, he decided that he wanted to relax for a while, and he thought of the bar he hadn't been to in a long time. I went a little late in the evening, but saw that the bar was not open, and after a little disappointment, Gu Xiangyang found a bar at random. This bar was different from the one he went to, and the deafening sound of music in it made his stomach pound.
He couldn't stand it and was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly a charming-looking woman stepped forward and stopped him: "Handsome guy, it's the first time you come to our store, right? ”
The woman dragged him to a nice booth, Gu Xiangyang opened his mouth and said, "I...... I think I'd better leave, I don't really like it here. ”
The latter sentence was very quiet, and the woman smiled twice with her bright red mouth: "All the male customers who come to our store say this, saying that they don't like it, but they still can't control their legs, and they come here every night." In fact, what's wrong here, it's simply a paradise on earth, there are countless beauties here, you can pick and choose handsome guys. ”
"I ...... I'm not here to find a beautiful woman. ”
"Oh, you're here to find a handsome guy? We have a handsome guy here, which handsome guy do you want to drink with you?"
"I'm sorry, I'm not drinking, I'm leaving. Gu Xiangyang pushed the woman, almost suffocated to death, ran out of the bar in a panic, bumped into a tall man head-on, and directly knocked him into the sky, so he was not embarrassed.
Gu Xiangyang's brain was rattling, he held his forehead and glanced up at the man, his eyes met in the slightly hot air, and they all froze in place, unable to move. They could only stare at each other with wide eyes.
"Little ...... Xiao Zhuzi?" Gu Xiangyang couldn't believe his eyes, and after rubbing his eyes, he dared to be sure that the person standing in front of him was the person he had been looking for.
Tie Zhu glanced at the lady beside him, subconsciously let go of his hand, and said something in the lady's ear, and the lady looked at Gu Xiangyang and turned around and sat back in the car.
Tie Zhu smiled, stepped forward and pulled Gu Xiangyang up: "How long do you want to lie on the ground?
"Little pillar, is it really you?" Gu Xiangyang reached out and pinched his face, and Tie Zhu's entire handsome face was about to be screwed together. Gu Xiangyang asked stupidly, "Does it hurt?"
Tie Zhu grabbed his hand and asked reproachfully: "Do you see that it hurts for me to pinch you like this?!"
"I'm sorry. Gu Xiangyang showed a happy smile: "I didn't expect to meet you here, who was that woman just now?"
Seeing that Tie Zhu was stunned and didn't answer, Gu Xiangyang thought for a while and said, "It won't be your aunt, right?
Tie Zhu held his forehead and completely obeyed, stretched out his hand and flicked his smooth forehead and said, "How can I have such a rich relative?! Don't ask, I'll accompany you tonight, do you want to go for a walk around the neighborhood and eat something, it just so happens that I'm a little hungry." ”
Gu Xiangyang nodded with a smile and followed Tie Zhu to the restaurant on this street. Tie Zhu ordered a lot of food, Gu Xiangyang blinked his eyes and asked him, "Order so much, can you finish eating?"
"I can't finish it, I just want to try it all. Besides, aren't you with me? You can't be too cold, right?"
Gu Xiangyang looked at him in surprise and asked, "Have you made a fortune?"
"Nope. ”
"Not as many as you ordered. Gu Xiangyang pursed his lips: "Child, you are such a waste." ”
Tie Zhu smiled: "When I used to live in everyone's house, I was often full and hungry, but now I have the ability to buy myself a few delicious foods, I don't think it's a waste." It's good to be happy, Xiaoyang, it hasn't changed over the years...... You're getting older and more delicate. ”
Gu Xiangyang smiled bitterly: "Are you sarcastic or are you praising me?"
"Praise for sure. Tie Zhu pursed his lips, looked at him with deep eyes, and smiled meaningfully.
Not long after, the dishes were served one by one, and Gu Xiangyang took the chopsticks and said, "Then you're welcome." ”
"Who made you polite? Eat as much as you want. But don't hold on, it's not good for your stomach. ”
Gu Xiangyang suddenly looked up at Tie Zhu, surprised: "I didn't expect you to be quite gentle." ”
"Do you know I'm gentle?" Tie Zhu laughed twice: "If you are willing to be my daughter-in-law, I will treat you better." ”
The tone was full of abduction, and Gu Xiangyang smiled: "Baby, don't be naughty." If I were a woman, I would definitely marry you, but I'm a man, I can't help it, you can't let me fly from the palace to Thailand for sex reassignment surgery, right?"
"Who said that to be my daughter-in-law, you have to be a woman? In fact, men are not unavoidable, and it is good to be happy. Tie Zhu's tone was very willful.
"Mmmmmmmm, then I wish you to find a man as soon as possible and grow old and tie the knot forever. Gu Xiangyang buried his head in eating, but there was a faint sense of loss in his heart, as if he was looking forward to something, and he seemed to be afraid of something. In short, I am restless.
"Xiaoyang ......" Tie Zhu put down his chopsticks, pursed his lips and slowly opened his mouth: "Haven't you ever thought about being with me?
"Poof!!" Gu Xiangyang squirted out the vegetable residue in his mouth, and looked at him with wide eyes: "But I...... It's a man!man!!"
"What about men, I like you, I just have to be you! Whether you are a man, a woman, a cat or a dog, I like you, as long as you!!" Tie Zhu said very excitedly, blushing and shouting out the words that had been hidden in his heart for five years, which immediately attracted the surprised and inquiring eyes of countless customers in the store.
Gu Xiangyang's face was as red as the evening on the horizon, and he dragged the iron pillar and ran out of the restaurant, until he was in a sparsely populated place, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
