"Sorry, this bar is closed today." Chizi put the last bottle of new wine on the solid wood wine rack in the wine cabinet, and when she heard the sound of the door opening, she didn't bother to look at people.

The person who came was also very domineering, not only ignored what Chi Zi said, but also walked to an acrylic bar chair by the bar and sat down without permission.

"Sir, we are resting today, you better ...... another day" Chi Zigang turned around and saw the man with a heavy face in front of him at the moment, and he couldn't say the next few words.

Not out of sympathy, but because this man is different from the customers who have come to the store before.

Although his face was cold, his eyes were full of disappointment and melancholy, also because he couldn't get what he wanted, but unlike those who were captured by desire, it didn't make him feel disdainful, but a little more distressed.

"Give me a glass of absinthe." The cold voice reached Chi Zi's ears, and it was difficult to refuse.

"Okay, please wait." Chizi subconsciously turned around, but suddenly realized that he was now violating the boss's words, not to mention that the bar was closed now, so if he was found out in private, it was hard to imagine what punishment would be!

hesitated in his heart, but unconsciously, his hands had moved involuntarily.

A few minutes later, Chi Zi brought the man a test tube rack, on which were placed seven test tubes, each containing seven different colors of liquid.

"What is this?" The man was stunned.

"The absinthe in the store is temporarily out of stock, so I took the initiative to adjust this for my husband, you can give it a try, it's very good." Chi Zi lied without blushing or panting, although absinthe was suitable for this man's mood at this time, it could not bring him much benefit, and he inexplicably didn't want the sadness in the eyes of the man in front of him to aggravate it.

Without much thought, the man stretched out his left hand, selected a black tube from the colorful test tube rack, held it in his hand, poured it into his mouth, and drank it all.

Between the lips and teeth, there is the richness of dark rum and the acidic bitterness of lemon juice, which also captures a hint of the vanilla and cinnamon sweetness characteristic of cola.

"Not enough." Men just say such a word.

Then he picked up the red one from the test tube rack, and it was still dry, this time with dark rum and red grenade syrup, and he could see sour blackberries, red currants, and sweet raspberries and red cherries wandering through his body.

"Not enough." The sound was a few decibels louder than it had just been.

"Huh?" Chizi looked at it in horror.

The man continued to reach for the test tube, this time with two hands, one taking the blue and the other taking the green, and poured it into his mouth. Rum, soda, blue orange, then spearmint, vodka and Sprite swept through his taste buds and gut.

"Not enough! Inadequate! He let out a scream, picking up the test tubes on the shelf in confusion and pouring the remaining milky, yellow, and clear liquid into his mouth.

"Sir, you can't drink so violently!" It's too late for Chizi to stop it.

Milky milk wine, milk, yellow orange juice, Gallianu, clear lime juice and Cointreau, plus vodka in all three colors, poured into the stomach and merged with the previously poured liquid, colliding and spinning, churning, roaring, and stirring.

"This won't work! It's not enough! The man threw all the test tubes on the ground, and the shards of glass exploded with a sharp sound, but it did not anger the bar waiter Chizi who was standing aside.

"Then I'll remake you a new drink." Babaret walked out of the inner room and stood next to Akazusa, but there was no extra movement.

"Uh, it's too bad......" Chizi smelled the strong smell of tobacco from behind, and at this time, the sweet and greasy cherries mixed in the air should not make Chizi feel good, and cold sweat began to form all over her body, and a sense of uneasiness climbed up her entire back.

Is that the only thing to say? Isn't it time to explain! Barberet spat out smoke rings in Chizi's ear, chuckling playfully, but with great power and intimidation at the thin body in front of her.

"Boss, I'm not ......," Chi Zi scrambled to try to explain.

"You go pick some fresh cherries, I'm going to have cherry pie in the evening."

"Yes!" Chizi fled into the inner room.

"Why did you come here today? And it's a person, didn't the little lady follow? Barberet said as she busied herself at the bar.

"Can't I come alone?" Alpha's cold tone, did this man mention her on purpose?

"Of course not. We used to be together a lot, and you always came to me to steal drinks. ”

"Really?"

"By the way, you don't seem to have been bothering about those lost memories lately."

Afa's body stagnated, yes, since his feelings for Gu Xiao became clear in his heart, he completely forgot about his business.

"Come, please taste the Bloody Mary I have concocted for you."

Barberet placed a tumbled crystal cup filled with a tomato-colored liquid in front of Alpha, who stared at the half-moon-shaped lemon and a green celery on the rim of the cup in amazement.

"What is this? Vegetable juice? Alpha picked up the wilted celery, which was very funny, "Don't you think it's funny?" Also Bloody Mary! Alpha was very scoffing.

Of course, Barberet was not a vegetarian either, he picked up the cup on the table with one hand and poured it directly into Alpha's mouth, Alpha frowned and coughed violently.

"What the hell is this?" Afa coughed and said intermittently, very wolf.

"It's wine." Barberet gracefully put down the empty flat-bottomed crystal cup in her hand, took out a piece of silk embroidered with cherry patterns from her jacket pocket, and wiped her hands, not hiding the triumphant smile on her face.

"Wine? This thing is all ...... and bitter."

"Enough, right?" Barberet extinguished the cigarette butt and tossed the cigarette butt into the cherry-shaped ashtray.

"Yes, that's enough." Alpha drooped again, it should be said that his entire mental state seemed to have fallen into a dark swamp, and his tall body looked particularly lonely sitting on the bar chair.

****

Weedy field, the sky has brightened, although there has been no more snow for a while, but the snow is still heavy, and for the first time I feel that the winter is so long.

Gu Xiaoxiao sat by the bonfire, and she touched her round little belly, because eating all the berries picked by Alpha would cause her current uncomfortable situation.

"Am I eating too much?" A little sigh, it's really self-inflicted!

But......

If I don't finish eating, I don't know how many times I can eat it in the future, he ...... for me

Gu Xiaoxiao thought in his head, maybe he could change the way.

There are different ways to achieve anything.

Maybe there will be a way to get the best of both worlds, but I haven't thought of it myself.

"Why am I so stupid?" The little felt sorry for himself, reached out and clenched his little fist and beat his head, and then there was a green light flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Xiao moved his eyes to the jade-colored silk on his wrist, and the central diamond-shaped lens glowed silver, which was just an ordinary accessory at the moment, but it caused a small memory.

Xiao Yu and Azazel......

They should be happy now! That's nice......

What a wonderful thing it is to be able to like someone!

However, she and Alpha are not in love.

But Afa kissed her forehead, so why did he say something like that to Xu Xinyang?

It's a little stupid, it's hard to think about such a deep question, and it just feels hot-headed.

Keep shaking your head and tell yourself not to think too much!

A qiē go with the flow is best!

"Ah, yes! I should sue Sù Koba Chiazus! Gu Xiaoxiao stood up from the ground suddenly, and Xiaofa was looking at Xiaoxiao with a cloudy and changeable expression with relish, and was startled by this sudden action.

"Squeak!" Xiaofa seemed to be asking, because of the previous incident, it didn't want her master to run around without permission, causing many incidents and getting into trouble.

"I'll take a trip to Tingxin Lake." Xiaoxiao didn't look at Xiaofa much, and ran in the direction of Tingxin Lake.

Tingxin Lake? Xiaofa tilted his head, and then hurriedly chased after him.

Joke! Her master is born with the physique to get into trouble for herself!

"Huhu ......" Xiao Xiao gasped and stood still by the lake.

"Good, it's still frozen!" Little crossed his hands on his hips, "Let me try." "One foot is about to step on the surface of a mirrored lake.

"What are you doing?" A strong force dragged Gu Xiaoxiao back in time.

Xiao Xiao looked back, it was Xu Xinyang!

"I, I've got something ...... something"

"What are you going to do? Haven't you learned your lesson from the past? Xu Xinyang clutched his little arm tightly with both hands, and it hurt.

"It hurts...... two words squeezed out of the corners of the little mouth, and the eyebrows were messed up.

"I'm sorry." Xu Xinyang let go of his hand, but immediately hugged Xiaoxiao tightly in his arms, "Don't scare me, okay?" Worry mixed with gentleness, Xiaoxiao's heart was slightly touched, and her mouth was slightly open.

Xiaofa, who flew in from a distance, saw the figures hugging each other, and it landed on a branch not far from the two of them, and his brows furrowed.

****

At this time, the crossroads bar.

"Actually, I have a way." Barberet served Alpha a long-awaited glass of vermouth, blue-green, reminding him of the glowing fountain under the moonlight that night.

"What?" Alpha took a sip, and the light and slightly bitter taste intoxicated him, as if screaming at every cell called "pain" in his body.

"I have a way to bring back your memories." Barberet ate one cherry after another, never finishing.

"Now, I'm not interested in it." Alpha plays with the crystal cup in his hand.

Barberet smiled and stopped eating the cherries, he placed a sugar cube on a small hollowed-out spoon specially used with absinthe, placed the spoon on the absinthe glass, and slowly poured the blue-green liquor over the sugar cube to soak it. Then he lit it with a cherry lighter, and the flames flickered and shimmered with a faint blue light, and the sugar cube was scorched and fell into the vermouth, and the blue-green liquid was ignited in an instant, and finally Barberet poured some ice water into the glass.

"Interested now?"

"Still not." Alpha paused, "Still, I'd like to hear from you." ”
