After a while, I came to the bar called "Night Fire" where Xiao Ai and Zhao Mu were, this time was not the peak of bar consumption, so there were not many people in it, but the warm-up music made me feel that I couldn't adapt to it, I had worked hard all day, and what I needed was quiet, not this kind of hustle and bustle that people couldn't even hear clearly.

I came to Xiao Ai and Zhao Mu's side, and then put the ashtray that Xiao Ai threw away in front of her, and complained: "I lie in the bushes like a dog to help you find the ashtray...... Still a little bit of a human conscience? ”

Xiao Ai ignored me, she leaned her mobile phone against Zhao Mu's mobile phone, and then added Zhao Mu's WeChat by scanning the QR code, I was almost angry with her move, before I was working, so I seriously begged her to leave a contact information, but she cruelly rejected me, now it's good, I actually took the initiative to add Zhao Mu's WeChat account.

I also took the opportunity to take out my mobile phone, hurriedly put it under Xiao Ai's mobile phone, and said, "By the way, I also scanned my QR code." ”

Xiao Ai put away his mobile phone, and I was bored again, but fortunately, I was thick-skinned enough, so I first looked around, and after successfully hiding my embarrassment, I naturally asked: "Didn't you say that you want to introduce me to a classmate who can play the violin, people?" ”

Xiao Ai finally raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and replied, "It's about half past seven, it's coming, let's order something to drink first." ”

……

I asked Xiao Ai for a few bottles of beer, Zhao Mu drank lemonade, but this does not mean that Xiao Ai and I have a common language, she held the beer bottle, but kept chatting with Zhao Mu who was holding lemonade, she said: "Since I was a child, I have admired classmates with good academic performance, but there is really no one like you around me, at that time, we were in the whole grade, and the most outstanding was only admitted to the local Nanjing University!" ”

Zhao Mu smiled shyly after being praised and replied, "Nanjing University is also very good." ”

This is an answer that is obviously not easy to answer because of lack of experience in chatting, with Xiao Ai's personality, most of them will not take the initiative to find a topic, but they don't want her to ask again: "I don't know what you think of us who study art?" ”

"It's good, I always feel that your thinking and behavior are very individual, like a kaleidoscope that can never get tired of looking at, and there are all the best scenery hidden in it."

I secretly gave Zhao Mu a thumbs up in my heart, because this metaphor is too vivid, worthy of being a bookish and angry liberal arts student, anyway, I don't have the level to say such a thing, and Xiao Ai really likes this evaluation very much, showed a shallow smile, and then said "thank you" to Zhao Mu.

I hurriedly recalled, and this reckless girl in my memory really never smiled at me like this, let alone been so polite to me.

After this topic, Xiao Ai and Zhao Mu fell into a short silence, and because I was not educated enough, I couldn't interject their words, so I simply picked up the beer, drank it one by one, and then relieved the tiredness accumulated during the day little by little.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a black T-shirt and long hair came to Xiao Ai's side and said to her with a smile: "Girl, as long as you are willing to go on stage and sing a song for the customers of our bar later, I will free all your consumption tonight, how about it?" ”

I estimated that this man might be the owner of the bar, and Xiao Ai should be acquaintances, and I couldn't help but be happy, it turns out that this girl still has the ability to sing a song and get free orders, if that's the case, I don't have to feel distressed about paying the bill later.

But I didn't want Xiao Ai to reply to the boss very unceremoniously: "Can you go away?" ”

The boss looked a little embarrassed, smiled stupidly, and then said, "I don't believe that no one in this world can make an exception for you to sing a song in a bar." After finishing speaking, he turned to me and Zhao Mu and said: "You are friends with this girl, I am the boss of the night fire, our bar is also a little famous in Nanjing, as long as you can persuade this girl to sing a song here in us, you can come here to play casually in the future, I will give you all free orders!" ”

Before we could speak, Xiao Ai said impatiently to the bar owner: "If you want to be so verbose again, then I will take my friends to another bar to play." ”

The bar owner smiled helplessly, it seemed that he had been frustrated by Xiao Ai many times, but before leaving, he called the waiter and gave us a dozen beers for free, but I was even more curious about what kind of magic this girl had, and even made a bar owner want her to sing a song so much; Her classmates even said: She has not graduated from school, she has been favored by entertainment companies, and she wants to focus on packaging, and then push her into the entertainment industry at any cost, but unfortunately she herself doesn't buy it too much.

After this episode, the classmates introduced by Xiao Ai finally came to the bar. Coincidentally, this classmate was the kinder girl I met when I went to Nanyi to find Xiao Ai for the second time, Xiao Ai officially introduced her to me, and I learned that her name was originally Yu Xin.

Yu Xin is a very simple girl, directly borrowed the performance stage of the bar, and played the repertoire I provided on the violin, I was very satisfied with her level of performance, and she also hoped to make some extra money to reduce the pressure on her parents to go to school, so we immediately determined the intention of cooperation, and then signed a very standardized performance contract.

……

We didn't spend too much time at the bar this night. When we were separated, Yu Xin drove for Xiao Ai, who had drunk, and because it was not very smooth, Zhao Mu and I refused Yu Xin's kindness to send us back.

When the two girls were about to get into the car, Zhao Mu finally mustered up the courage to say to Xiao Ai, who was a little drunk: "I had a great time tonight, thank you for your hospitality." ”

"You are too polite, if you think that I still get along with me, you can go to Nanyi to play with me when you have time, or you can keep in touch with WeChat."

Zhao Mu nodded happily, and gradually got rid of the shyness when he first met Xiao Ai, and Xiao Ai is indeed much gentler to him than I am to me, they are more like people all the way, after all, they are all leaders in their respective schools, and they are of the same age, of course, there will be more common language.

I suddenly had a very logical idea, this girl approached me at the beginning, could it be that she had the opportunity to get close to Zhao Mu? After all, with Zhao Muna's charm of being a super-grade student since he went to school, it is still very likely that some girls will be fascinated and crazy.

I subconsciously looked at Zhao Mu, he was really a talent, plus he talked well, it was easy to attract the likes of girls, and he seemed to have a good impression of Xiao Ai, if my guess was not wrong, it was really a little romantic relationship, I decided to talk to Zhao Mu about this matter after I went home later.

……

After a while, Zhao Mu and I returned to Tulip Road, and while chatting, we walked into the alley, but met Chen Yi in the depths of the alley, who was holding some clothes in her hands, which seemed to be left over from the last move.

Zhao Mu stopped first, and after saying hello to her, he gave up all the limited space in the small alley to us, and left first.

I leaned against the wall, pressed a flickering flame from the lighter, and lit the cigarette in my hand, while Chen Yi stood against the wall on the other side......

At this time, the street lamps in the alley, some of the more than enough but not enough to scatter some faint light and shadow in the gap between us, but it was enough to make us have a sense of distance that was difficult to communicate, but the next moment, I felt her feminine scent and light shampoo fragrance that fascinated me in this almost claustrophobic space.

In the smoke that kept spreading in my fingertips, she finally opened her mouth, and her voice was very soft: "Jiang Qiao, our director has agreed that I will preside over the wedding of your company's customers." ”

"I know."

Chen Yi was silent, just lightly tapping the bluestone paved ground with his toes in lilac leather shoes, in order to hide the embarrassment under the silence.

I took a puff of my cigarette and said, "Should I congratulate me, or should I congratulate you?" …… This seems to be good news for all of us! ”

Chen Yi looked at me, as if she didn't want to have an emotional collision with me again, she shifted her gaze to look at the street lamp not far away, and then said: "This is just a small part of your work for you and me, what is there to congratulate?" ”

I fell into silence again, and although I had a thousand words in my heart, I could not find the most comfortable way to express them, so I narrowed my eyes and took a deep breath of smoke......

"I'll go first, you can go back and rest early."

I looked at Chen Yi who was about to turn around and leave, but the hand that was holding on couldn't reach out in front of her no matter what, but I just watched her walk past me slightly sideways with some sadness.

I finally swallowed the saliva from the nervousness and shouted behind her, "Wait......"

She turned her head, not speaking, just looking at me with a puzzled look.

"That...... What style do you want to have this hosting script? ”

"It depends on what the customer's needs are, and I have no problem here."

I nodded, but my eyes didn't take my eyes off her.

"Anything else?"

She cast another inquiring glance at me, and I dodged and looked away, and finally replied, "No, you should be careful when driving on the road." ”

Chen Yi nodded, there was an imperceptible trance and loss in his eyes, I seemed to have caught it, and it seemed to be an illusion, and finally bid farewell to Chen Yi with the expected silence, and I leaned against the blue brick wall and smoked a cigarette that might be lonely, maybe lost.

I spit out the cigarette that had accumulated in my mouth, then closed my eyes, and began to imagine Chen Yi standing beside me in a wedding dress, and my heart was suddenly filled with a sense of happiness that was about to squeeze my soul, but I felt extremely lost and lonely the moment I opened my eyes, and then I felt like I was broken, just sitting helplessly on the bluestone slab, watching the happiness I imagined dissipate at the end of the alley full of moisture.

I smiled bitterly, it turned out that Chengquan was not as happy as I imagined, I still liked Chen Yi so persistently, and fantasized about the wedding scene that didn't exist like a dream......

I thought: If I can marry a woman like Chen Yi in my life, my mother, who has not seen each other for almost 20 years, should be happy for me, right?
