Chapter 445: The Other Side

The Other Side Bar is located in a quieter street in Causeway Bay.

Nominally a bar, but the people around don't think so. In everyone's opinion, it is a place where old friends can occasionally get together. But you can't get together too many friends, because you can only sit six or seven customers at most, except for the bar position.

The bar was a little smaller, but there were constant customers from afternoon to evening, and then two nightclubs opened on the next street, and business here was deserted.

Half a year ago, the owner of the bar, surnamed Chen, left Hong Kong and sold the store to a young man.

This young man has some difficulty even speaking Chinese, does not understand the slightest amount of alcohol, and often suspends business. Even so, the bar business miraculously improved.

A few long-time guests have noticed that the number of OLs who come for drinks and chats has gradually increased, and they know that these OLLs seem to be coming for the young man who is the waiter and new owner of the bar.

It may be a problem in language communication, it is common to have girls boldly come forward to talk, young people first have a warm smile, but the smile contains the meaning of rejecting people, and then will dutifully use broken Chinese to introduce the wine in the bar.

Later, more and more OLPs came here for drinks, parties or idle sitting, but no one went to talk to the young new boss anymore.

It is rumored that the new owner of this bar has a girlfriend, who is Korean, and has been to the bar a few times. Every time he appeared in the bar, his girlfriend wore a hat and sunglasses, and no one had seen his girlfriend's appearance, but she should have a beautiful face and a good figure. It's just that the lips are slightly thin.

Of course, many more said he was married, and a very small number said he had a problem with his sexual orientation......

Time flies, and it enters the end of March.

Ten minutes at dusk. A sign saying that the business is closed is hung outside the wooden door of the bar on the other side, but the lights are still unusually bright in the store.

Lee Jae-min sat at the bar, wiping down his washed glass. On the wall-mounted TV next to it, yesterday's economic headlines are replayed. Suddenly, when he heard the anchor of the Hong Kong News Channel, he once again read out the name of the British company that had gradually become famous all over the world in the past six months, and his movements couldn't help but stagnate.

The rattle bell on the wooden door rang suddenly, and Lee Jaemin turned around and saw three women in professional clothes gathered in front of the door, as if he was pushing the door only to find the "temporarily closed" sign, smiled embarrassedly at them, and waved his hand in response. See them walk away. Then I sat down again.

Forthwith. The bell rang again, and the wooden door creaked open.

The pin-tip heel taps lightly on the floor, and Lee Jae-min puts down the glass that has been rubbed for several rounds. When I looked up, the red color came into view. It's vaguely like the first time I saw that day. Maybe she's lost a lot, and she's taller because she's thin.

If you don't count the meeting in Singapore that winter, maybe it wasn't a meeting at all. When he got there, he ended up just watching from afar from the stage, looking at her back standing on the stage.

It took a year and a half to finally see her again.

Lee Jae-min has thought about many scenes of meeting again before, including after coming to Hong Kong, and still thinks about it many times. He knew she would come and even think of what to say first and what to ask next.

And now, everything is no longer important.

Li Zaimin smiled slightly, across the bar, Li Zhiyuan stopped on the opposite side, with the same smile on his face, and the strangeness generated by more than a year was dissipated with a silent chuckle.

"Yesterday I saw the news that you came to Hong Kong." Lee Jae-min felt that this seemed like an explanation, so he paused, pointed to a short-haired red woman standing outside the bar door and asked, "Is that your person?" Do you want to come in, it's a little cold outside. ”

The short-haired red woman looked back consciously, as if she guessed the meaning of the eyes of the two people in the store, saw her shake her head, and then a black business car drove to the side of the road at the door, she glanced around a few times uneasily, and finally walked into the business car. The doors were still ajar, as if they were ready to rush out.

Lee Jae-min lowered his head, he had read the news during the Spring Festival, and he could understand the overprotection of Li Zhiyuan by the people around him.

"What did you dislike the most about this kind of place before?" Li Zhiyuan felt that his voice was astringent, and he smiled his face, trying to get back to the atmosphere when he used to get along. From the moment she came to the door and saw the familiar figure in the bar, her heart had been trembling.

"I don't like it much now!" Lee Jae-min motioned for Lee Ji-won to sit down on a high stool in front of the bar and asked, "Do you want to have something?" ”

Lee Ji-won wants to know Lee Jae-min's answer, but he is afraid to know. After hearing the sound, she glanced up and said softly, "What to drink?" ”

"Drink my cocktail." Lee Jae-min seems to be a conscientious small bar owner, and while he bends down to get his glass ready to mix, he smiles and says, "It's the only bartending I have learned in the past six months." Well, you're the first to drink ...... besides me."

The first one? That is, this is specially tuned for yourself! Listening to Lee Jae-min mixing wine while talking about this cocktail concoction, Lee Ji-won's heart gradually became stable, not as bad as he imagined!

"The CΓ΄te d'Azur." With Lee Jae-min's voice, the wine glass was gently placed on the bar.

Li Zhiyuan came back to his senses, in front of him was a wine glass with a curve, the liquid in it was blue, and there were a few pieces of square ice floating on the top, which were like exquisite works of art under the soft and warm light.

The sweet orange flavor is immersed in the bottom of my heart, and the fragrance of lemon wafts between my lips and teeth, but the wine taste is very light.

Li Zhiyuan doesn't like to drink alcohol herself, and this cocktail with very low alcohol content is very suitable, and it has the orange and lemon aroma that she likes, and the joy in her heart is far higher than the wine itself. She put down her glass, wanting to give a few playful compliments as before, but caught a glimpse of a glaring suitcase in the corner.

"I'm really not fit to run a bar, and no matter how hard I try, I don't like it." Lee Jae-min stood in the bar, looking at the remaining light blue liquid in the wine glass, and said casually, "The bar, in the morning, I transferred it to a friend I met here, and I booked a ticket to go back to Seoul tomorrow." ”

"What?!" Li Zhiyuan raised his head suddenly, and suddenly became flustered. He should understand why he is here now, and he should understand what he is here for!

Lee Jae-min turned out of the bar, came to sit down in front of Lee Zhiyuan, and said softly. "Seoul has so many memories with you that even if you want to hate it, you can only think of happy things."

"For revenge?!" Li Zhiyuan bit his lip tightly, and his eyes were stubborn and cold.

"When I first came back from Singapore, I really thought about it that way." Lee Jae-min answered unabashedly, subconsciously wanted to caress the corners of Li Zhiyuan's eyes, and the next moment he withdrew his hand, he shook his head lightly and smiled, "Now, no." ”

"You know I'm because ......" Lee Ji-won said calmly, but his hand grabbed Lee Jae-min's palm and held it tightly as before.

"I know, I know it all." Lee Jae-min quietly withdrew his hand, "When I came to Hong Kong, I thought it was to forget, but it turned out to make me remember!" ”

Li Zhiyuan lowered his arm, as expected, the two walked to the distance close again, but after seeing the suitcase, she vaguely saw that the distance between the two was gradually getting farther away, and she understood who "remembered" was referring to! ――

Li Zhiyuan opened her eyes and found herself sleeping on the sofa in the living room, covered with a slightly thick blanket, she shook her drowsy head, and as soon as she sat up, she saw Han Na coming out of the kitchen with a hot drink.

"Yesterday you drank some wine, and then you fell asleep here, and when I saw that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't call you. Do you have a headache? Hannah bent down to put the hot drink down and glanced at the goblet with a faint blue liquid on the coffee table. It is rare to see Li Zhiyuan drinking on weekdays, and once in a while, it is also this kind of self-made cocktail. She didn't understand why a person who didn't like to drink, or even hated drinking, could skillfully make cocktails.

Li Zhiyuan pulled off the corners of his mouth to indicate that it was okay, this kind of wine itself has no degree, and it doesn't matter if you drink more, but I really felt very tired last night, so I slept so late. She pushed away the hot drink in front of her, looked at the time on the electronic clock next to her, and said, "I'll wash up and go for a run." ”

"Gym, or yard?" Han Na put away the wine glass, left the hot drink, and prepared to wait for Li Zhiyuan to finish washing before letting her drink. There is a treadmill in the gym at home, and the yard itself is very wide, and there is a suitable circular path, which can also be used as a running track for exercise.

Li Zhiyuan looked at the time again, she exhaled lightly, got up and said, "Go outside today." ”

"Outside? Oh good. There is still time, you go up and change into a set of sportswear, remember to bring a sunshade mask......" Han Na followed and glanced at the electronic clock, and responded without hesitation, and when she saw Li Zhiyuan walking up the stairs, she pressed the headphones on her ear and ordered, "Miss should use the street outside, pay attention to pedestrian cleaning, contact the traffic department, and temporarily control the vehicles coming to this street......"

The morning sun has risen, and after going out, it is rare to see pedestrians on the street, and at the intersection of the street in the distance, the vehicles that can be seen can only enter and exit. Li Zhiyuan is used to seeing this kind of scene and understands Han Na's intentions, it is said that his uncle and aunt secretly came to South Korea again, and they also met with Lin Yinan in private.

On the other side of the road, as expected, a black nanny car was parked, Lee Ji-won lifted the visor mask, and as soon as he paused, he saw the courtyard door of the opposite house open, and Lee Jae-min, who was wearing a slightly formal casual suit, was walking out behind Park Shin-jeong.

"Jaemin, Shin Jing!" Han Na, who also changed into sportswear, walked up to Li Zhiyuan and greeted the two opposite with laughter.

Park Shin Jeong was looking back and smiling and talking to Lee Jae-min, when she heard the greeting, she noticed Han Na and Lee Ji Won, who were dressed in sports makeup, and immediately responded with a greeting, "Han Na, Miss Lee Ji Won, ...... it"-

ps: It happened to be in time to write the news part of "My Knot", which is the most critical plot of the book. I tried to write a little bit, but I was too susceptible and I was not satisfied with what I wrote. In addition, I have been sick and stayed up late in the past two days, so I have to go to the injection every day, and my head has been dizzy.

Three days later, the "My Knot" part officially began!.
