———————————————

I woke up a little early today, and it wasn't dawn yet. Mom didn't come home yesterday, and my sister didn't come back either; There's nothing left in the fridge and I'm going out for breakfast again. When I was buying fritters, I touched them, and there were still three yuan left in my pocket, and I remember that there were more than ten yuan the day before yesterday. Who stole my money, or did I lose it?

It's not easy for my mom to make money, and I feel a little sad that I can't tell her about it. I'm going to have to be careful and put my money away in the future.

———————————————

In the lively pedestrian block, pedestrians walk fast or slow under the dazzling and colorful neon lights, in groups of three or five, two in pairs.

This is the largest pedestrian street in Dragon City, where you can eat, drink and have fun. The street used to be a wide road that extends in all directions, but at night there is a spectacular scene of traffic at first and then at bay – not rushing to work, but rushing to the entertainment of the evening.

However, one of the three wonders of the dragon city did not last long before it was stopped in a boiling of public discontent - the government, which could not bear the dissatisfaction of taxpayers, had to reroute the motorized and non-motorized streets that originally spanned several shopping buildings, photo studios, art exhibition areas and many other entertainment and leisure venues, and turned this spacious main street into the largest pedestrian street in the city and even the province.

The moonlight tonight is actually beautiful, but it looks inconspicuous under the endless lights.

The pleasant sound of "jingle bells" was drowned in the noisy air before it could spread out; The "welcome bell" on the delicate and luxurious glass door shakes when someone pushes the door open. A group of people in fancy costumes came out of it; A few of them were a little ethereal, as if they were stepping on a cloud and losing their center of gravity.

"That'...... That...... That ......"

A person who rolled his eyes, an unsteady person who leaned directly on the person next to him who could still stand, and a mouthful of wine sprayed on the other party's face: "Ou...... European ......"

The person who was leaning on frowned, and hurriedly slapped away the head that was about to come to his nose on his shoulder, with a look of disgust: "If you can't drink, drink less, what are you beating?" Do you still talk about it? ”

The drunk looked at him with a red face and smirked.

"Boss, what do you say? Is there a second half? A man in his right mind asked the man who was standing the most steadily in the group, with a look of anticipation.

"Second half?" The man pointed to the few people who had lost their fulcrum and were about to lie down and smiled: "Just the second half of your material?" ”

"Hey! Boss, we're still standing, aren't we? Not just them. As...... Let's go on, they ......" A man with a big back and a punk costume turned his head and shouted, "That...... Lao Xing! You're going to send him back? ”

The straight man who stood straight snorted, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with the nagging of several people, hooked his finger and said to the steward who had been on standby next to him: "Call their assistant and let someone pick it up." ”

"Okay, young master." The assistant in formal clothes replied with a gentle smile on his face, then took out his mobile phone from the hidden pocket of his suit and began to make calls.

Seeing that the trouble had been solved, the big back smiled with a rotten face, rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, the matter is solved." Where are we going? ”

Another person with a frame, pretending to be a senior writer, spoke first: "Ouyang, I heard that there is a new bar in New Times Square over there, why don't you try it somewhere?" ”

Ouyang raised his eyelids, looked at the man with glasses with an unfathomable expression, and the corners of his mouth flashed, "What the hell are you doing, I still don't know?" smiled and nodded: "Let's go!" ”

"Young master, you can't drink anymore tonight, excessive drinking hurts your body, and you shouldn't drink more than ...... a day" The steward on the side immediately stepped forward and chattered, but before he finished speaking, he was unceremoniously interrupted by the other party: "Got it, got it." If you are verbose, let me go back and stay there! ”

This trick really worked, and the steward's mouth was tightly gagged.

A few people slowly wandered to the door of the newly opened bar; The sapphire blue glass panels reflect a soft light; There is no high-profile pretending to be mysterious and atmospheric decoration, but there is a small and fresh feeling from the outside.

"First encounter?" The two words gently spit out from Ouyang's thin and beautiful lips, with a hint of teasing.

"Well, it's okay!" The big back hummed and swaggered in.

The man with glasses walked in with another half-drunk person, and Ouyang followed at the back.

It's a clean bar, with no deafening DJs and no demons; On a small and delicate round table was a candle enclosed in a glass case, and next to it was a single pure red rose; It gives a warm feeling of a candlelit dinner.

The big back, which was originally pinched in greatly, couldn't help but lower his arrogant posture a little in this quiet and peaceful atmosphere, and quietly walked to the corner and waited for another person.

"How's that, is it stylish?" The literary youth asked with a smile.

The big back glanced at him, as if he was afraid that the partition wall would have ears, and turned his megaphone to the lowest: "This is called pretending to be X." ”

At this time, a slender professional girl walked towards everyone, she maintained a standard smile, and said in a soft and sweet voice to the few people who had not been seated for a long time: "Hello, may I ask what the gentlemen want?" ”

Maybe one of the men really stood out from the crowd, and the girl's eyes unconsciously looked at the man twice; And Ouyang also looked back at the girl at this time, and he smiled at her; Such an ordinary smile would definitely not be able to cause an uproar on other people's faces, but in this son-in-law, it will naturally bring three points of teasing.

Looking at each other, the girl's face couldn't help but turn red and bowed her head slightly.

"Whatever, first time here, do you have a signboard in your store?" Ouyang said casually: "Can I swipe the card?" The password is ......"

"Yes, sir." The girl took the card and turned to the bar.

"Ouch, awesome?" A yellow-haired monster gave a thumbs up to Ouyang: "Little bees, there are flowers everywhere!" ”

Ouyang stretched out his hand and slapped the fingers standing in front of him, and smiled slightly: "Look at me, how normal it is." Look at you guys again, what are you wearing? ”

"I'm not dressed properly today?!" The man with glasses pointed at himself.

Ouyang: "Normal, a young man in the second year of literature and art, the favorite of primary school students." ”

"......" The man with glasses stuck in his throat in one breath and couldn't spit it out.

"Come on, you didn't look at him before, he was dressed, and he was so miserable that you almost gave him a mosaic. Later, it was his old man who couldn't stand it anymore, so he ordered it to be corrected, resulting in him now wearing a dog-like appearance. The yellow-haired monster on the side quipped.

“…… Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as you. Ouyang loosened his tie, took off the suit that showed off his slender figure, and put on a shirt alone.

In the whispering of the people; Drinks and exquisite food pairings have been served; Ouyang glanced at the group of people who couldn't pull the stage; Lifting two goblets of precious wine, he walked towards the girl who had served them.

"Red, it goes well with your elegant temperament."

A beautiful hand appeared in front of the tall beauty, the fingers were slender and powerful, and under the faint candle flame, a light wheat light; Holding a goblet in his hand.

The beauty's eyes widened slightly, and she looked at the handsome man who was a head taller than herself in disbelief, and after hesitating for a moment, she still took the wine glass.
