Chapter 3: Skinny Skin
"Oh yo, shouldn't our Haoran brother be pure-hearted, and only care about national affairs, why are you interested in this kind of little Lori-type girl, it's rare, the iron tree is blooming!"
Meng Haoran, who had just entered, was really startled by the people who were in the house at some point, and immediately became vigilant, and only when he heard who the voice was slowly relieved, revealing a trace of incredulity.
What appeared in front of him was one of Meng Haoran's few close friends, who immigrated to the United States with his business parents eight years ago, and had never met once in eight years, and even the contact gradually became less.
The last contact was two years ago, when Skinny got married, and there was a problem with more than a passport, Meng Haoran did not go to the United States to participate, and there has been no contact since then.
"Skinny, why don't you stay in the United States to accompany your newlyweds, why do you run back to China?"
The man known as Skinny took out a can of beer from the plastic bag and threw it to Meng Haoran, drank the beer that had been opened in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Leave!" ”
Meng Haoran was puzzled: "Left? Not really! Haven't you only been married for two years? Didn't your parents cut you? ”
"It's really leaving!" The thin tone revealed a hint of helplessness.
"Why?" In Meng Haoran's impression of you, the two are in love, his lady chased from the United States to Xi'an, and then from Xi'an to the United States, and the relationship for several years is not a joke.
"Not satisfied!"
Skinny Skin said it lightly, Meng Haoran was so incredible and funny that he squirted out all the German dark beer he had just drunk, and just sprayed Skinny Skin's face.
Meng Haoran smiled embarrassedly, he didn't know what to say, but he thought in his heart: American girls are really extraordinary, fortunately there was nothing before marriage, otherwise it is estimated that this marriage will be bad.
Skinny looked at the scenery outside the window, sighed, and asked inquiringly, "Don't you think it's ironic?" ”。
"It's alright! At least much better than me! Inexplicable sadness crept into Meng Haoran's heart, "How I wish it was just a dream, but it was still a reality." ”
"Don't think about it anymore, it was just an accident!"
"Perhaps! An accident for the rich! ”
"Poet, forget about the past, people always have to look forward, you are not alive and well now. I don't think Yanran wants to see your sad side, let alone your depraved side, but seeing you now, it's a mixed blessing, at least three years in prison is still a bit useful to you! ”
"Perhaps! At least a decent job and a certain amount of freedom! ”
"That's enough!"
After Skinny finished speaking, he lit a cigarette, and the curling smoke soon filled the room of less than ten square meters, and Meng Haoran's coughing sound came from the room, Skinny looked at it incredulously, and then said, "What?" Have you quit smoking? ”
Meng Haoran fanned the curling smoke in front of him with his hand, walked to the window, lay on the windowsill with both hands, poked his head out of the window, breathed in the fresh air outside the window, stretched his waist, and said calmly: "After I went in, I didn't smoke, and I didn't have any addiction to smoking after I came out, and I even had a little allergy to the smell of smoke, and I would cough when I smelled the smoke, don't you think the smell of smoke is very choking?" ”
"It seems that you took me to smoke, you still told me that you started smoking at the age of fifteen, and you have been smoking for five or six years, and you can tell what kind of smoke it is as long as you smell it, you won't forget all the sensibilities, right?" Skinny turned out the old past, his first cigarette was given by Meng Haoran, and he choked on coughing for several days at that time.
"The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year, now I basically live in a smoke-free environment, smoking is not good for the body, don't you see that every cigarette box has six big words written on it: "smoking is harmful to health"! ”
"And you still go to work at a bar? It seems that second-hand smoke is more terrible than first-hand smoke, you haven't seen you like this in so long! ”
"Smoking in public places has been banned for a long time!"
"No smoking?"
"A few years ago, the government banned smoking, and now you have to go to the police station for a week to smoke in public."
"Changed?"
"It's no worse than the America you've been longing for for twenty years!" When he spoke, he felt a sense of pride.
"You still haven't changed!"
"I'm afraid I can't change this for the rest of my life, and this is the only thing my parents taught me and I listened to. ------ what are your plans for the future? Stay in Xi'an or go back to the United States, don't you think Xi'an is very good, the lights are bright, the beauty is like a cloud, there are many kinds of snacks, you don't have to be bread and milk, pizza and burgers every day, there is a chance to take you to eat soy milk fritters, a shop I know is very good. The most important thing is that the beauties in Xi'an are more reserved and will not ask for too much from men, which is very suitable for a rich boy like you! ”
"I should stay in Xi'an for a while, there is nothing to do in the United States for the time being, but I have to listen to my parents' nagging a lot. In this divorce, my parents have been nagging in my ears for a week, and both ears are calloused. It's better to stay in Xi'an, the ancient capital of Xi'an, where you said that the lights are bright and the beauty is like clouds, at least you will end up clean! However, poet, I can't satisfy the American girl, but you know it, God knows, even my parents don't know, if the third person knows, then our friendship will be over. ”
"Am I that kind of person?"
"If you were, I wouldn't tell you! But then again, although you have a small place here, but the surrounding scenery is good, I found that Weiyang Lake is not far away, you can go out for a walk at night, maybe you can meet a few beautiful women walking alone. ”
"You're not going to live with me, are you?"
"Can you live two people in your place? Don't worry, I've already found a place to live, a little better than yours, it's on the edge of Weiyang Lake, and I don't have to walk for a few minutes, why don't you live with me? ”
"I'd better stay in my kennel, I'm not used to living with men, especially just divorced men like you, who are often the most terrible creatures, I don't want my virgin chrysanthemum to be sacrificed under the stick of a beast like you, and I won't be able to find a place to cry when the time comes!"
Skinny walked to the window, elegantly lit a cigarette, and said with a look of disgust: "You semi-cleanliness habit has not changed, you said that your house is in tatters, and you still dislike living with me; Just like you pay attention to the sacred concept of love, while doing the work of a middleman in a bar, you are a spiritual clean, a mortal fetus, you are suitable for living in the mythical world or debuting in Wutai Mountain, you will be a good Taoist, maybe you will become the next Zhang Sanfeng. ”
"Don't talk about these things, how can you know so much about my affairs, I've only been working in a bar for two years, and it seems that I haven't called you to tell me about my current situation in the past two years, right? Even I know that I'm the middleman. ”
At this point in the chat, Meng Haoran found a problem, Skinny knew more about him than he knew, even if he worked in a bar with him, few people knew that he was a middleman.
Skinny smiled weirdly, revealing an expression of his own thinking.
"Fatty?"
Skinny shook his head.
"Dragonfly?"
Skinny continued to shake his head.
"Nanrong little Lori?"
Skinny shook his head again.
"Hatsuyuki, that girl?"
Meng Haoran was still greeted by a thin shake of his head.
"Wentong's little girl?" Meng Haoran guessed the last friend he knew.
Skinny narrowed his eyes, nodded, and asked rhetorically, "Are you surprised?" Do you think it's impossible? ”
"It's quite unexpected, I haven't been in touch with Wentong's little girl for many years, how can she know about my situation!"
"Don't forget who his brother is! That's an existence that you don't know how many times you've been caught! ”
Hearing the word "brother" in Skinny Skin, Meng Haoran completely understood, and in the whole of Xi'an, he knew better than him that he couldn't find a second one.
