I glanced at the dozen or so bars around me, all of them male bartenders, but there was no trace of nursery rhymes.

Isn't it ...... I subconsciously looked into the corner, but there was still no one, and I walked over to the bar where she had been bartending last night, intending to ask the bartender who replaced her.

"Handsome guy, why didn't that female bartender come today yesterday?" I asked.

"I don't know, I'm also wondering, it stands to reason that he can only take a leave next month, and I'm also temporarily replaced tonight." The bartender replied.

My heart suddenly cooled half, and an indescribable loss arose. continued to ask: "Then will she be stuck in traffic on the road, late or sometimes delayed?" ”

"Generally not, if you are really late for an hour or two, we will call directly to ask for leave from the master, and the master will not directly transfer someone to fill the vacant position." The bartender explained.

I let out a soft "oh" and fell into a deep thought, beginning to wonder why she didn't come. Could it be that my hooliganism during the day had completely angered her to the point that she deliberately avoided me? Or was there an accident on the way?

My mind was in a state of confusion, and although I didn't have a crush on her, I didn't want anything to happen to her......

"Are you looking for her? Why don't you come back tomorrow? We have internal rules that don't give away employee numbers, so I can't help you with anything. ”

"It's okay, I'm sorry to bother you." I replied and turned away with a slight sense of loss.

……

When I went out, I reached out and stopped a taxi, which stopped steadily in front of me, but I didn't want to go home immediately, so I waved at her. The female taxi driver was stunned for a moment, and then scolded, "Are you sick?" It's okay to stop the car. Then he walked away.

I lifted my foot and kicked the taxi in the distance, and said in a silky voice: "You have medicine, I want you to take care of it!" ”

Stepping on the square floor tiles of the walking path, walking three boring steps at a time, I unconsciously arrived at the bus stop sign last night. Somehow, as if I had found a sense of belonging, I walked over in three steps and two steps.

A chubby aunt sat upright with a bag on her chest in her hands, like Margaret Thatcher facing a world reporter, and her action suddenly reminded me of the scene of a majestic teacher invigilating an exam in college. I walked over to her and said, "Auntie, can you move somewhere?" I want to lie down for a while, but I can't walk anymore! ”

The aunt was not tall, sat down in the chair again, looked up at me, and said with a smile, "Then I'll sit to the side, and then it'll be easy!" ”

"But I can't stretch my legs when you sit here! I'm running out of energy, please! I cried and mourned, winning the last trace of sympathy from my aunt.

The aunt stood up suddenly, and I took advantage of the situation to lie down on the chair, and exaggerated my legs apart, so that I could rest assured that the aunt would not grab the position again.

"You're a bad young man in society, you don't know how to be polite, this chair belongs to yours?" Auntie pointed at me and chattered endlessly, I have the right to not hear anything, just go as you say, anyway, I'm lying like this, what can you bear with me!

Fiddled with my phone and turned on the music casually, but what I played this time was Zhou Hui's "Promise".

"All the way from the mud to the beautiful scenery, used to finding courage in each other's eyes. I am so tired that I will always want to kiss you, so that I can forget the hardships of love. You and I agreed not to mention the sad past, and promised never to let the other party worry, to be happy and take care of ourselves, even if one day I am lonely, you and I agree to stop a quarrel soon, and also say that there is no secret and each other is very transparent, I will love you well, love you stupidly, and don't care about fairness or unfairness......"

I hummed loudly as if no one was around, completely ignoring my aunt's disdainful eyes, because I was still confident in my singing voice, and I won the second place in the campus top ten singer competition in my freshman year, and my strength should not be underestimated.

I was inexplicably worried about the nursery rhyme, in fact, what bothered me the most now was the two gatherings tomorrow, to be honest, I still don't understand what Ling Xi did last night. I can forgive her for being so wrong. But I also know how terrible love is that can't understand each other, and I think that there is no kind of love that people want to love humbly.

I admit that I am a person who likes to live in the past and fantasize, I like to miss the old times, and even put on a bit of a literary score, so that I still don't want to admit that I am a person who has graduated for many years, I will miss the Ling Xi I met for the first time, but there is a kind of arrogant self-confidence in the youth and shyness, like to clingy and unreasonable but understand right and wrong.

But now everything is different, and through one simple thing, I have to accept some cruel reality, which is that we have all changed.

In the past, Ling Xi would stupidly delete his friends and phone numbers because of my petty nature. I would also be unable to sleep all night because of the momentary thoughts, even on a campus...... I slowly realized that maybe in the past four years, we have all slowly lost ourselves and lost love in the process of growing up.

……

The bus came in the distance, the aunt looked back at me, I was still lying down, entertaining myself and singing, who knew that when the bus was about to open, the aunt quickly turned around, smashed me twice with her handbag, and scolded, "You are a person who is completely faulty, and you have convulsions at night!" After saying that, he quickly jumped on the bus and left.

I wanted to laugh when I saw that aunt was afraid that I would jump up and chase after her, but in fact, I was too lazy to move now, and to put it bluntly, I didn't want to pay attention to her.

Tonight, I was scolded by two people for being sick, I really hope that I am sick, mentally ill, at least to make my whole person look energetic.

I suddenly connected the word sick with the bastard that Ling Xi sent me last night, the scumbag sent me by the nursery rhyme. In comparison, I prefer the word scum, there is a disease that can be cured, and the bastard is not completely bad, but this scumbag makes me feel that the whole body is crushed and fractured, and it is completely bad. I think since you can't be a perfect person, you have to be scum to the point that everyone is in awe!

I hate the dinner between the two families, and at the same time, I am sad to think about where the nursery rhyme is now, how can she forget that I have to repay the loan in the past two days? With all my doubts, I slammed to my feet, turned off the music, got up and went to bed!

After all, I still feel that the world is very beautiful, and I am very happy at the moment!

……

It was only nine o'clock when I got home, and after taking a shower, I lay on the bed, read a book, smoked a cigarette, played a game, tossed until eleven o'clock, and fell asleep with all my doubts and irritability, but I could not fall asleep deeply.

I was woken up early in the morning by my parents, and I heard my mom and soul about choosing clothes, and I knew that my parents valued this family gathering. Excluding other factors, in fact, this is also something I have always longed for, after all, the best declaration of saying goodbye to singleness is love, and the ultimate palace of love is marriage.

I have a problem with waking up and never being able to sleep again, even in the middle of the night! Lying on the bed, watching the people downstairs at sunrise, but the ghost thought, if the nursery rhyme goes to work, it should have been home from work at this time, right?

I don't know why I inadvertently get my thoughts on this woman who has only crossed paths with me for a few hours, I know that I can't let go of the last thing I still owe her money and haven't paid it back, I don't know if she couldn't sleep last night because she was worried that I wouldn't pay it back, and why didn't she take the initiative to contact me because she regarded money as her life?

I took the phone on the bedside table and flipped through the caller ID, but there was no strange number and no caller ID. I obviously left her the number, but I didn't call back, maybe it was really my wrong positioning, and her love for money is just a superficial phenomenon.

And I couldn't stay in bed at the moment, getting out of bed and watching my parents prepare for tonight's family gathering.
