Chapter 19: Reunion
The period of college students' holidays is always the busiest time for children, although it is a holiday, but the cram school specialty class to attend is not less than usual, so during the time when Li Meng came back, Meng Ling had almost no time to accompany her, Meng Ling's strength was recognized by more people, and more and more students were responsible.
I was a little bored at home, so I simply packed my luggage and went to City C to play with Hu Shasha for a few days. After Meng Ling sent Li Meng to the airport, she received a call from the cram school and left in a hurry. Looking at the back of his mother's trot, Li Meng couldn't help but smile, it's good, his mother can regain her value before she gets old.
Knowing that Li Meng didn't like a lot of people, Hu Shasha took Li Meng to dinner, and in order to let Li Meng better understand the ancient capital style and lively nightlife of City C, he drove to the old alley. Quaint architecture and modern elements are perfectly blended here. What Li Meng didn't expect was that on the first night of coming to City B, Hu Shasha took her to a bar street. Seeing Hu Shasha handing over the car keys to the receptionist at the door, she knew that she must be a frequent visitor here.
"Why are you so surprised, it's not the first time you've come to a bar...... No way?! Come on, let me show you the charm of nightlife tonight! โ
The lights in the bar were dim and slowly rocking, Hu Shasha asked for two cocktails and handed one to Li Meng. Li Meng waved his hand lightly: "You drink, I'll drive later." โ
"Nancy's wine is delicious, if you don't drink it, it's not for nothing."
"I don't drink, you forgot, you used to help me block the wine when I was welcome the new year."
"Oh, yes, yes, you don't say I've forgotten, it's been more than three years."
"Heh, give me a glass of juice."
"Ahh
"Special events? How special is it? โ
"The last time I came, it was a muscular man who was performing a striptease."
"Poofโ" Li Meng didn't hold back, and most of the juice in his mouth squirted out. Coincidentally, it sprayed on an oncoming man, and the purple-red raspberry juice smeared on the man's white shirt, which was extremely distinct.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Li Meng hurriedly stood up and apologized. Hu Shasha beside her pulled her hand: "No need to apologize, old acquaintance." Why does Brother Yu have time to come to the store today? โ
"Didn't I see you as soon as I entered the door, I thought about coming over to say hello, but I didn't expect your friend... So passionate. โ
Li Menglao blushed: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." I'll give you another one. โ
The man smiled indifferently: "If this matter is changed to someone else, there is really no way to chat happily now." But since it's Sasha's friend, it's my Wanyu's friend, so I don't care about this kind of trivial matter. I'll go change my clothes first, you guys play slowly, tonight's play will be more exciting. โ
As soon as the words fell, the host in the distance had already begun to speak, and Wan Yu raised his eyebrows: "No, it's started." โ
The music has turned into all kinds of heavy metal, which shocked Li Meng's heart uncomfortably, and the people who had been sitting and drinking everywhere gradually walked to the dance floor and twisted their bodies. After two handsome men appeared on the stage, the cheers and whistles below were even louder: "Kiss one!" Kiss one! Kiss one! โ
Hu Shasha saw that the two people on the stage were already excited and about to blow up: "Ah! My Lord! I can't stand it! Kiss one kiss another. โ
With the cheers below, the taller man on the stage tore his shirt violently, revealing his hard and sexy muscle lines, and the piercing screams below made Li Meng can't help but cover his ears.
The music sounded, and the two people on the stage danced to the rhythm, their bodies sticking together from time to time, and there was ambiguity in the air. The girls covered their chests and faces, and their eyes were even glowing green. Li Meng's blushing heartbeat movements saw Li Meng's surprised five-body throw, and at the end of the dance, the general attack master on the stage directly tore off Xiao Shou's clothes and kissed him, and the atmosphere in the audience reached a boiling point: "Ah-I can't stand it, I'm going to faint, it's too exciting." Looking at the crazy girl who was crowded at the front of the stage, with wide eyes for fear of missing a minute and a second, who was Hu Shasha. Li Meng Zhenxin blocked a mouthful of old blood in his chest, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "What the hell is this!" โ
The performance continued, and Hu Shasha couldn't control Li Meng since she stared at the two people on the stage, and she was only trying to squeeze into the best viewing position. Li Meng felt that he couldn't stand the noise and atmosphere anymore, and walked out of the bar alone to be quiet.
There is a river along the street in front of the bar, and the road is full of colorful neon lights, and the evening breeze blows, which is actually a little cozy. It's a door that separates two worlds from the outside. Walking around casually, there was a sound of argument in the alley not far away. Li Meng didn't want to take care of things in this kind of place, and to some extent, she didn't seem to be able to take care of it, after all, for security reasons, she just wanted to treat it as if she didn't see it. But a familiar male voice stopped her: "I said it, I'm not a gay man, I'm just here for something." โ
"Something? Isn't there something about who came here? If you say you're not gay, ordinary people may still believe you, but people in this circle can tell at a glance whether you're or not. โ
"Even if it is, it has nothing to do with you! Please let me go! โ
"It's so stubborn, it's funny. Then it depends on whether you can be so stubborn later. "Then he kissed it.
"Let him go!" The good thing was interrupted, and the man looked up at the entrance of the alley, and saw that it was a young woman, and just wanted to tell her to get out, but found that the little man in front of him was looking at the woman with a shocked expression.
Li Meng has changed, becoming more beautiful and temperamental, although it is different from when he was in junior high school, but Lu Yao knows that it is Li Meng. He went to find Li Meng, but at that time Li Meng had already gone abroad, and he also guessed that he might meet Li Meng again in the future, but he never thought that his meeting with Li Meng would be in such a shameful situation, his hands were still imprisoned by the man in front of him on the wall behind him, and Li Meng should have seen the man kissing him: "Li, Li Meng." โ
Lu Yao panicked, he slammed back his hand, and the violent friction caused the back of his hand to be ground out of blood.
The man looked at the expressions of the two: "What, girlfriend?" She doesn't know you're gay! โ
"Get out!" Lu Yao squeezed his throat.
"Heh, let's talk. Remember to come back to me after chatting. โ
โฆโฆ
"You, are you Li Meng?"
The air was depressed and embarrassed, seeing that Li Meng didn't speak, Lu Yao still opened his mouth first, but hurriedly explained to Li Meng: "It's not what you see, I don't know that person, you believe me, although I know that I like men, but I really don't mix with this circle-"
"Why are you here?" Seeing Lu Yao's panic, Li Meng still opened his mouth.
"I, I ......"
"If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it."
"I, I'm singing in a bar."
Looking at the man standing against the wall with his head down, eager to hide himself in the shadows, Li Meng sighed: "Come out, if it's okay, come with me over there and sit." โ
There is a row of benches along the river for rest, and the street lights are dim, warm and silent.
"Hand out."
Lu Yao obediently stretched out his hand, Li Meng's expression was very indifferent, as if nothing had happened at all just now, but the more this happened, the more nervous Lu Yao became. Li Meng's aura was stronger than before, especially in such a situation, Lu Yao didn't dare to resist her command at all.
Li Meng took Lu Yao's hand, saw the abrasions and blood scabs on the back of his hand, and took out the alcohol cotton and gauze in the bag. No matter when and where, she will carry these medicines with her, this is Li Meng's secret, and this secret is not even known to Hu Shasha, who lives together. In order to get rid of the habit of self-abuse in junior high school, Li Meng would carry disinfectant and drugs to stop bleeding, and after the self-abuse situation improved, she left this small problem, although she knew that this was a sign of insecurity, but standing medicine was not a bad thing, so she did not deliberately change it.
Lu Yao looked at Li Meng, who was quiet under the light, and only felt like he was in a dream, otherwise how could he meet her in City C, which was far away from City A. Until the sting of the alcohol cotton touching the wound pulled back his thoughts: "Li Meng." โ
"Hmm. Just bear with it. โ
The air was quiet again, Lu Yao relaxed and leaned on the bench, closing his eyes: "I'm singing in the bar here." Earn tuition, as well as living expenses. I'm still drawing comics, that's the only thing I'm stuck to, but I need equipment. I work three jobs at the same time, delivering milk in the morning, working as a waitress in a restaurant during the day, and singing here at night. I didn't sing very well, however, the owner of the gay bar took a fancy to my appearance and left me there to sing. I know it's a shame, but this part-time salary is the highest, and I can't afford to lose it for the time being. I'm almost graduating, and by that time I'm going to have to rent a house outside, and I'll have to pay rent. I submitted my manga to various companies, but no company has been willing to sign me so far. Some people say that gay men are going to paint gay subjects, but I don't want to, because it reminds me of things I don't want to think about. Li Meng, do you know, I was in the same class as Zhou Tianxu in the three years of high school, and I have been insulted by him for three years, whether it is words or behavior. Whenever I resisted, he threatened me to tell anyone about me. I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid my mother will know, and I don't want my mother to be a person for the rest of her life. I studied hard so that I could choose a city far away from Zhou Tianxu. But I left him with a filthy body. I don't have anything left to pursue, only my paintings, so it doesn't matter what I do, as long as I can keep painting. โ
"What about your parents?"
"My mom is still at home, taking care of the man...... One night he got drunk and tried to beat my mother, but he hit the table with his waist and collapsed. โ
"Then you still have to pay the family's living expenses every month?"
"Hmm...... I... I'm tired, really tired, I'm almost out of breath, and to be honest, I don't know how long I'll last, but it's good to have you today. I didn't blame you at the time, I just felt sorry for myself. I went to see you, you had already gone to school in city A, and when I went to look for you in city A again, you went to study abroad. I really didn't expect to meet you here. How did you come here? โ
"It's a holiday, I came here to play with friends, she brought me to the bar, but I couldn't stand the environment inside, so I came out to breathe."
"Then you, when are you leaving?"
"I'll leave in a few days, I promised my mother to go back early."
โโฆโฆโ
โโฆโฆโ
"I don't know why I'm talking so much today, if it's causing you trouble."
"No, it won't."
"Li Meng, will we meet again?"
"yes, it will." Seeing the drunk Hu Shasha walking out of the bar and looking left and right from a distance, Li Meng knew that she should be looking for her: "My friend is looking for me, I'll go first." โ
"Oh, good." Lu Yao stood up in a panic, wanting to say something, but saw that Li Meng had already walked away. The dim light sprinkled on Li Meng's body, warm and dazzling.
Sitting down dejectedly, looking at the flickering river in the distance and the lights jumping in the water, the tired loneliness hit my heart again. Close your eyes and just want to sleep quietly at the moment. Li Meng is gone after all, and he didn't even say goodbye properly, too, he is disgusted with the way he looks, let alone Li Meng.
Hazy, shallow footsteps were slowly approaching, stopping beside him, Lu Yao was surrounded by a pair of slender arms before he could open his eyes, and the tip of his nose was surrounded by a faint fragrance: "Hold on, wait for graduation, I will accompany you." I haven't done the domestic phone yet, this is my foreign number, contact me in an emergency. I didn't bring a piece of paper, so I wrote it on your hand. โ
Lu Yao didn't dare to open his eyes, he just felt that it was a dream, and if he woke up, everything would be in ashes. After a long time, he opened his eyes, and there was still a silent black and quiet river in front of him, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart, but when he raised his hand, he saw a string of numbers in his palm, and the signature of the owner below, atmospheric and arrogant, extraordinarily moving under the light.
