Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Night for Two

I don't know how long it took, Du Jiujiu only felt very uncomfortable hungry in his stomach. She struggled to open her eyes, only to see a figure sitting in front of her in the dim light.

"Who!?" Du Jiujiu's heart jumped suddenly, she let out a low cry, subconsciously picked up the long knife in her hand, and a carp jumped up from the bed, and waved the knife towards the figure.

The figure didn't move, allowing Du Jiujiu to put the knife against his neck.

"I've been waiting for you here for so long, and yet you opened your eyes and pointed a knife at me. Xiao Jiujiu, are you going too far? ”

Hearing the familiar voice, Du Jiujiu woke up from a half-dream, and by the faint light, she saw that the person in front of her was Su Xiaohan.

"Hug ...... Sorry, I'm a little sleepy. Du Jiujiu hurriedly removed the long knife from his neck, and accompanied him again and again.

The row of flashlights that she lit up before, for some reason, only two were still glowing.

Su Xiaohan was half-leaning on a chair next to the bed at this time, still holding a goblet in his hand.

The light of the flashlight shone on the snow-white ceiling, and the faint light reflected the transparent liquid in the cup, which was like a flowing crystal under Su Xiaohan's gentle shaking.

"Snacks are on the table, you can eat some first." Su Xiaohan didn't seem to care about her reckless move just now, her eyes still fell on the goblet in her hand, as if she had something on her mind.

Du Jiujiu looked at the long table next to the bed full of all kinds of snacks, and a trace of emotion suddenly rose in his heart.

However, these touches were dispelled by the "grunting" sound coming from Du Jiujiu's stomach in the next second, and she tore open a pack of egg rolls with some embarrassment, quickly put it in her mouth and chewed it in small bites.

The "whoosh" sound of the bag being torn open and the crunchy sound of the egg roll being chewed form a light melody that reverberates between the two rows of shelves.

Su Xiaohan was pulled back to his thoughts by this voice, shook his head helplessly and stood up, turned on two more flashlights that had been turned off, and the room suddenly became much brighter.

At this time, Du Jiujiu saw clearly that the goblet held by Su Xiaohan contained half a light orange clear liquid, which was crystal clear and looked very attractive.

"What are you taking? It's beautiful. Du Jiujiu really liked it, and the movements in his hands couldn't help but pause for a moment, and he opened his mouth to ask Su Xiaohan.

"It's wine. Xiao Jiujiu, do you remember that I said that I was originally a bartender before the end of the world? ”

"Well, remember." Not only these, Du Jiujiu still remembers that when they first met, Su Xiaohan also used the profession of bartender to make fun of herself. Thinking of this, Du Jiujiu's face couldn't help but flush a little.

"You made this wine from the supermarket? You are so powerful, did you have a master to teach you? Du Jiujiu felt a little embarrassed and immediately changed the topic.

"When I was in high school, something happened to my family. I dropped out of school, ran away from home, and endured a lot of hardships, but finally the owner of this bar took me in and taught me some knowledge about bartending. If you want to ask who my master is, then it's probably him. This was the first time Su Xiaohan had told her about his past, and his voice was a little low, as if he was reluctant to mention the past.

"Xiao Jiujiu, do you want to have a drink too? Today's opportunity is rare, and most of the materials are available in supermarkets. The world has become so dangerous now, I don't know when the next time I will mix a drink. ”

"yes, yes. Just drink a small glass, and you shouldn't get drunk and make a mistake. Du Jiujiu swallowed the last bite of the egg roll and nodded with a smile.

Seeing that she responded, Su Xiaohan immediately placed several bottles of different styles on the table, and took a goblet of the same style as the one in his hand.

After preparing everything, I saw Su Xiaohan replace the lemon slices with a lemon drink, gently moisten the cup ring, and then put the cup upside down in the salt dish to make a beautiful snowflake edge.

Then, he poured the liquid in each bottle into a strange-looking metal cup, sometimes more, sometimes less, with the movements like flowing water, elegant and calm, and with his slender fingers, it was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

"This glass of wine is called Margaret, and it was made by a bartender in memory of his deceased lover, and this glass of wine is sour and salty, probably the taste of longing." Su Xiaohan said, slowly pouring the shaken wine into the glass.

"The ingredients here are not complete, and the taste may be worse, if there is still a chance to find all the ingredients, I will mix it for you to drink."

Du Jiujiu took the wine glass and took a sip gently. As soon as the edge of the snowflake on the rim of the cup touched his lips, the saltiness of the salt stained between his tongue.

Then the wine enters the mouth, with a rich mouthfeel, with a fresh fresh fruit flavor, which dilutes the saltiness in the mouth, and the final aftertaste is a faint lemon acidity.

Although Du Jiujiu had never drunk a cocktail before, he could also feel the thousands of turns and five flavors of this glass of wine, as Su Xiaohan said, as if the bitterness and sourness in his heart were crushed and mixed into it.

"Well, it's delicious." Du Jiujiu put down the wine glass in his hand and praised it sincerely.

looked at Su Xiaohan's gaze again, but there was a faint sympathy. He seems to be a little older than himself, if he is really like him, leaving home before graduating from high school, then the bitterness and pain he has experienced over the years must be as hard to describe as this glass of wine.

Moreover, what made her even more curious was what happened that year that Su Xiaohan said. can let a teenager leave home alone for so many years, and even ignore his studies.

Seeing that Su Xiaohan didn't mean what he wanted to say, Du Jiujiu didn't ask, just sat quietly next to him, taking a sip of the wine in the cup.

If one day, he wants to tell himself about his previous experience, then he can be his listener again.

This wine glass is not big, and there is not much wine in it, even if Du Jiujiu drinks it in a small sip, the wine in the glass has already seen the bottom in a short time.

"Do you want more?" Su Xiaohan took the wine glass and asked.

"No, let's eat something." Du Jiujiu shook his head and refused.

Although this wine is fruity, sweet and sour, there is not a lot of alcohol in it, and if you drink more, you may be drunk. Spending the night outside, Du Jiujiu would never dare to take it lightly.

The pack of egg rolls he had just eaten was really nothing to Du Jiujiu, who had a much increased appetite after awakening, and after drinking some sweet wine, Du Jiujiu felt even hungrier.

She picked up another packet of biscuits, unwrapped it, and gulped it down with mineral water.

At this moment, a familiar scent suddenly wafted to her nose. Du Jiujiu raised his head and found that Su Xiaohan was holding a bucket of instant noodles in his hand.
