Chapter 19: The Old Man

The sky is getting dark, and the sun is setting.

Most of the people escaped the scorching sun at noon, stepping on the last ray of daylight near the evening and stepping out of the house, everyone is like a light-reducer who has been in the dark place for a long time, but they love the last rays of the sunset of the day, they raised their heads, put a long-term view, and then waited for which ray of light, slowly sinking westward, until there was only a white light left in the sky, like the dividing line between darkness and light, bright and dazzling, dark and scary.

Liu Jue looked at Li Ruochan on the side, and subconsciously asked, "How old are you!" ”

"Me? It's bigger than you, but it shouldn't be much bigger! Li Ruochan replied.

The two of them sat on the basketball court and talked without a match, the girl in class 12 went home, he was a little bored alone, just now, she called, and he came out, and the two of them looked absentmindedly at the sunset falling in the distant mountains, and looked at the line that gradually sank.

"Let's go, accompany my sister to a place, and my sister will show you the world." Li Ruochan stood up and patted the dust that didn't exist.

"Where to go? Far away? Liu Jue didn't move, his eyes were still the darkness of the distant sky, he felt that it must be very beautiful there, because where the sunset had just sunk, there must be the most dazzling glow there.

Li Ruochan didn't answer his question about distance, but threw him an admission ticket, and then waited for his next step.

Liu Jue looked at the admission ticket, then at Li Ruochan, and then at the admission ticket, as if he felt that he couldn't see clearly under the night, and tried to open his eyes wide.

"Look at it, there are street lights over there, enough for you to see enough." Li Ruochan said with some hatred.

"Oh, the white one!" Liu Jue didn't seem to have an aftertaste, and said it very directly.

"Liu Jue, do you want to die?" Li Ruochan was a little angry, and at the same time he was anxious about his IQ, so he was stupid and actually gave him this invitation ticket.

"No, no, how much does that advertising cost! Are you planning to have a dinner party? Liu Jue didn't seem to notice the inappropriateness in Li Ruochan's tone, and asked without fear of death.

"Advertising costs your grandmother's legs! The old lady didn't sue them is the blessing they have cultivated for eight lifetimes, this is an infringement, it violates my right to reputation, it violates my privacy, they are breaking the law and committing crimes, and they will be severely punished by the law! Li Ruochan said with an old-fashioned face, but she knew in her heart that ordinary people don't have the courage to do this, either they are really just an ordinary person or an extraordinary person, but she has a faint feeling in her heart that she feels like she has fallen into some kind of quagmire.

"You seem to be a little different than usual?" Liu Jue said cautiously, he still remembered that the sister-in-law Wang next door said, "The girl's face, the sky in July, is cloudy and sunny, and if you can, you won't mess with it." ”

"Is there one? How is it different? Li Ruochan asked with some confusion.

"You used to be a little stupid, but you were quite ladylike, but now, you're a little grumpy, and you look like a scolding street... Yes! Tap, tap. After all, the female word didn't come out of Liu Jue's mouth, but the soft flesh on her waist still hurts!

"You can't just tap it! It's not made of iron, it's flesh! You..."Looking at Li Ruochan's small embroidered fist, he didn't dare to continue after all.

"Remember, this is a friend, I've been like this since then, if I can't stand it, I'll break off the relationship!" Li Ruochan said.

"That's good, let's go! It's the first time I've been there! But I hope to see which dance you do. Liu Jue looked at the woman on the side, the heat dissipated, and the evening breeze was blowing, which seemed to be not bad.

The Triumphal City is about to be completed, the gates are modeled after the Arc de Triomphe on the Charles de Gaulle Square in Germany, but the height is not so huge, the cement poured columns, plus the application of home decoration waterproof materials, are embellished by a trace of starlight and the full moonlight in the sky, beautiful, dreamy like being in a dream of Paris.

The seven-colored lanterns, the cyan pine trees, and the whitewashed white storefronts make people feel like they have entered the Christmas of the West, but the wind at night carries the warmth of summer, and the cold of winter is less, which always makes people feel a little dog pulling a leg of mutton, which is nondescript.

Li Ruochan suddenly stopped, grabbed Liu Jue at the same time, and then asked, "Have you learned Western etiquette?" ”

Liu Jue shook his head, indicating that he didn't know anything.

"Today's George is Western-style, and I thought it was just a bar celebration, maybe not so simple.

Come on, handsome Mr. Liu Jue, although we don't have formal clothing, but the elegance of a gentleman can't be lost. As Li Ruochan spoke, he helped Liu Jue tidy up his clothes, and then bent his left hand into a ring, and his right hand was placed on it.

"Is it necessary?" For the first time, Liu Jue felt that life was so elegant, but the rigor was a little uncomfortable.

Li Ruochan put the two admission tickets in the waiter's tray lightly, and a blonde white Russian beauty received them, and the woman suddenly reminded at the moment of entry: "Honorable guests, we have customized dresses, do you need to go to the changing room to change?" ”

The blonde beauty suddenly turned a corner, Li Ruochan's footsteps paused slightly, and when she was about to speak, Liu Jue had already dragged her forward.

"Liu Jue!" The voice is weak, and from a distance it looks like a lover's whisper.

"Well, it's okay, if you come, you will be safe." A line of blood flashed in Liu Jue's eyes, and then he was buried in the endless abyss by the black pupils.

The slightly cold hand gently went around his chest, patted Li Ruochan's hand, and then pulled her to continue to follow.

The maid stopped in a dressing room-like place, she took out two trays from the cabinet on the side, turned around, and gently lifted them in front of Liu Jue and Li Ruochan.

The two glanced at each other, and suddenly realized that this was actually a row of changing rooms, and several people seemed to have just changed their clothes and were about to go out.

The Russian beauty had already turned to the side, stood aside, and made a gesture of please.

Liu Jue and Li Ruochan looked at the dressing room in front of them and stepped in step by step. After learning that Suo Suo had cleaned up, Liu Jue did not go out in advance, but only took a step forward and walked out after hearing the baffle in the locker room being knocked.

Liu Jue was dressed very decently, of course, this had to exclude the tie he put in his trouser pocket. He would only send red scarves, and it seemed that he was still a Young Pioneer when he was a primary school student.

However, after many years, those times have been a little blurry, he vaguely remembers that at that time, they were extremely honored and proud of being a Young Pioneer, every Monday morning to raise the national flag, the children will raise their little hands high, like an excellent revolutionary righteous soldier.

As for the bow tie, if you haven't learned it, you can't get started.

Li Ruochan seems to have made up some makeup, put a light layer of foundation on his face, and made a light eyeshadow on his eyelids, which looks even more charming.

The beautiful waitress glanced at the two of them, then looked Liu Jue up and down again, and then said, "Mr. Respect, do you need my help?" Or, ask the lady next to you to help. ”

Li Ruochan also looked at Liu Jue, who was wearing a purple dress, and seemed to think it was not bad.

"Will you?" Liu Jue asked suddenly.

Li Ruochan didn't answer, but just stretched out his hand, and Liu Jue put the tie in his trouser pocket on Li Ruochan's hand.

"Bend down, don't move." The tie smoothly passed through Liu Jue's back and wrapped around in front of him, and when he was still admiring the snow-white neck, Li Ruochan's voice sounded: "Stand up straight!" ”

The awkward tie made a beautiful bow tie in Li Ruochan's hand for a while, and then she gently smoothed out the folds on his clothes, and gently turned out a small white edge in the pocket of the jacket.

"Lead the way!" Li Ruochan held Liu Jue's hand again and said, bright and beautiful like a luxurious princess.

The waiter led them to the hall, there were not many people inside, an old man was sitting at the bar drinking wine, and the waiters were busy doing the final cleaning, the light was purple, just like Liu Jue's formal clothes.

The waiter came to the hall and left, without telling them where they were, and the two men looked at each other like two abandoned people, and suddenly there was no purpose.

Liu Jue pulled Li Ruochan, and then walked towards the old man with steps, the foreign bartender in the bar was cleaning the wine vessel, and it seemed that the old man who was drinking was an ornament in his eyes.

"Drink something?" The bartender was still busy with his work, but he spoke fluently Chinese.
