Chapter 160: Formal Dinner
I stretched and cleaned myself up.
When I went downstairs, I originally wanted to take a taxi directly to my destination. However, when I saw the bike-sharing parked not far downstairs, I gave up on the idea.
Turn your head to look at the cityscape as always.
I suddenly took a deep breath.
"Let's ride over there!" I smiled slightly and muttered to myself.
Thinking about it, I picked a car.
With my feet on the pedals, my expression was rare and relaxed.
Looking at the surrounding scenery, I suddenly felt like I was in a different world.
Such a rare time of comfort seems to be far away from me.
It's clear that time hasn't been long since the real sense, but that's how I feel at the moment.
After riding for more than half an hour, I finally saw the place Zhang Qiang said from a distance.
At the corner of the street hangs a huge stone plaque, on which are written in red paint in three eye-catching regular script characters - "Lao Menxi".
Because the city is located in the mountains surrounded by mountains, it is also a famous mountain town, and the bench street that Zhang Qiang said is on the east side of the 'Laomen West'.
The road gradually becomes a little steeper.
Eventually, I had to give up cycling and switch to walking.
After walking for about three or four minutes, I finally saw Zhang Qiang, who was wearing a big white coat that only an old man would wear, with a knee-length fat pants underneath, and double flip-flops on the soles of his feet, sitting in front of a store.
Tilting his head, it seemed that the other people had already arrived.
Seeing me coming, Zhang Qiang immediately waved at me, grinning happily, and his face smiled like a brilliant chrysanthemum.
I instantly burst into laughter.
I walked over a little helplessly.
As soon as I walked to the store, Zhang Qiang immediately enthusiastically handed over a bench, and then laughed at me silly.
"You're brain-dead?" I rolled my eyes a little speechlessly, then sat down and turned to look at the others: "Hey, why are you all here so early?" ”
Du Deming, Zhang Qiang, and Situ Cao looked at each other.
"Hey, it's quite idle to stay at school, and it's okay to be idle anyway, so it's better to come and hang out first." Du Deming smiled a little shyly.
Zhang Qiang was uncharacteristically a little melancholy, he looked at me, and then at a few other people: "Actually, every time I participate in that game, we always feel a little out of place when we return to the real world." As for our former colleagues in the restaurant, we used to be able to talk to each other, but now, I always feel like I can't talk to them, as if we are not from the same world...... Hi, it feels weird. ”
"Me too......" Situ Cao's eyes moved slightly, and he echoed softly.
Listening to everyone's words, I also chuckled in my heart.
I...... Why not?
At the moment, I am in the real world, but looking at the ordinary and seemingly boring daily life of passers-by, I always have the feeling that I no longer belong to one of them.
There are many diners in the restaurant.
Everyone else yelled and punched, or persuaded someone to drink, and then laughed out loud.
Others, all very lively.
And the six of us, it's like we don't belong here anymore.
In this way, the six fell silent at the same time.
When everyone didn't know what to say to alleviate this inexplicable atmosphere, the boss wore a pair of heat-insulated gloves and brought a whole square plate of barbecue.
"I've kept you waiting, here's the barbecue!!"
Then, a couple of other waiters carried a few cases of beer next to us, placed the bottle opener on the table, and left.
However, the eyes of several of us were still attracted by the boss.
The boss is a middle-aged man who looks very upright. Explosive head, with a large gold chain around his neck, he looks like he is in his early thirties, and a blue and ink python tattoo is tattooed on his left arm, and his whole body is full of Jianghu Qi.
It seems that he should be the buddy Zhang Qiang mentioned before, who used to mix in the road.
As I was thinking this, the boss turned his face to Zhang Qiang and smiled heartily at him.
"Hey, Qiangzi, we haven't seen each other in years, right?! It's not interesting enough to not come to see your brother and me for so long! The boss wiped his hand on the apron around his waist, and then slapped Zhang Qiang on the back.
And Zhang Qiang, who was picking up a bottle of beer and drinking, was slapped by this and suddenly choked and turned red.
When we saw this, we immediately gloated and snickered.
Zhang Qiang coughed violently, but he still had a grin on his face.
It was a few seconds before he looked up at his boss again.
"Hehe, that Brother Long, I'm not here to see you today! I made a special trip! Zhang Qiang smiled facelessly, and didn't care about what happened before.
"You kid." The boss pointed at Zhang Qiang and smiled, then turned his gaze to the five of us, and was slightly stunned: "These are these, your friends?" ”
"Ahh That's not a big deal. They're all my brothers. Zhang Qiang proudly pushed his smooth parted bangs to the side, and then pointed at the boss: "This, this is the good buddy I mentioned to you in the past, Brother Long, now everyone knows each other, and they will be friends in the future!" ”
As he spoke, Zhang Qiang looked at me.
I immediately understood, picked up a bottle of beer on the table, and looked at the boss with a smile: "Brother Long!" Since he is the brother of Hadron and our friend, on behalf of the others, I would like to toast you! ”
"Hahaha, it's easy to say! What's not the truth, it's all old things, don't mention it! I'm glad I'm going to pay for your beer! Brother Long smiled, then picked up a bottle of beer, tilted his head and drank it clean.
I wanted to say something, but when he saw that the table next to me was already urging food, he smiled apologetically at us.
"I'm sorry, I'm so busy! When we have time in the future, let's talk slowly! With that, he quickly turned and walked into the kitchen.
Looking at the back of my boss, I finally sighed and looked at the others with a smile.
"Okay, okay, our team is finally the rest of the disaster, don't think about those who don't have it, there are so many delicious things, let's start quickly! Anyway, it's a treat for Hadron, you're welcome, let's slaughter him hard! I smiled and raised my hand holding the beer bottle: "Come on, come on, let's go one!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of everyone immediately became lively.
"Then I wish you all happiness, eat well, and your body is great!" Zhang Qiang touched my wine bottle and said with a smile.
"That'...... I also wish all six of us a safe and safe departure from the 'True Demon' as soon as possible! Du Deming didn't seem to have attended such a party, he stood up a little embarrassed, and whispered embarrassedly.
"I hope that in the end, all of us will still be as harmonious as we are now, more like relatives!" Situ Cao also smiled faintly.
"Ahem, I wish you all the best of luck, and all your wishes will come true!" I coughed lightly and said.
However, the next step was not to wait for Zhao Qiqi to speak.
We looked at her strangely, only to find that she was munching on a saury with relish.
