CHAPTER XXI
He Yi drove all the way to the Rebirth Bar, stopped the car and sat quietly in the driver's seat, the six gods had no master, and it seemed that he had not yet recovered his senses.
The market is full of lights, traffic, bustling noise, and the roadside snack bars are overcrowded, making the Rebirth Bar seem out of place in comparison. This bar is a quiet bar, few people know but the reputation is very good, He Yi just came over with his colleagues when he was just working.
She found a place to park her car, and then walked slowly to the Rebirth Bar.
The bar is fully equipped with adequate counter bar stools, drinks, glasses and bartending utensils. The lights are dim, the environment is nostalgic, a bit bourgeoisie, and the soft music comes from the bar, adding a different color to the quiet night.
He Yi casually found a place to sit down, and just as she was about to order wine, a cold and familiar voice came from behind her, calling her name softly, with a little uncertainty.
"He Yi?"
He Yi turned around, it was Song Weiwei.
"It's really you." Song Weiwei put down her handbag, sat next to her, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, it's been seven years since I said goodbye to high school, how are you doing lately?" β
He Yi tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Work and life are very good." β
Song Weiwei glanced at her, and saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and there were tears on her face.
"Is that a love frustration?" Song Weiwei asked.
Seeing He Yi staring closely ahead, a little distracted, she was more sure of what she was thinking.
"Is it Song Pingsheng?"
He Yi's heart trembled, and he gently spit out a word: "Hmm." β
"Is it really Song Pingsheng?" Song Weiwei was surprised, "I can't imagine that you have persevered for so long, it really makes me admire it very much." How about it, Song Pingsheng is not easy to deal with, right? β
He Yi smiled bitterly.
"Why don't you have a Margaret?" Song Weiwei looked at her and said softly, "There's nothing that can't be done with one meal, if one meal is not enough, then two." β
Song Weiwei ordered two glasses of margarita cocktail, and then continued to praise: "Tequila-based wine, add a little Cointreau orange wine, fresh lemon juice, pour ice cubes and shake well, the most important thing is to stick a circle of salt on the rim of the glass, and finally pour the mixed wine into the open and shallow tall margarita glass." Thinking about it now, I still feel that the aftertaste is endless. β
The wine was served, and He Yi took a sip.
The smell is strong and a little jerky, and the aftertaste is very strong, which is really not suitable for people like her who have a poor amount of alcohol.
Song Weiwei enjoyed drinking very much, chatting with her while drinking. She stroked the broken hair on her forehead, looking particularly coquettish.
"Sometimes I admire you, you rush forward when you think of something, and persist as always, this is the case in learning, and you are even more like this in love." Song Weiwei said, "When you were a freshman in high school, you liked Song Pingsheng, right?" β
He Yi was a little shocked, she thought that she had done enough hiding work, at least no one would guess her thoughts, but Song Weiwei's words were like taking her off alive, naked in front of others, naked.
"How do you know?"
Song Weiwei laughed out of her voice, and the soft background music was particularly clear and beautiful, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, "He Yi, you can't hide if you like someone." β
He Yi read this sentence repeatedly, yes, it is really impossible to hide it if you like someone. Whenever and wherever he appears in his line of sight, he will be deeply attracted by his figure, motionless, as if he has lost his soul.
"You've loved him for ten years, do you regret it?" Song Weiwei asked.
He Yi seemed to be a little drunk, looking at Song Weiwei's red lips one by one, a little faint.
"No regrets." She struggled to squeeze out those three words.
"Ten years of youth, silly girl." Song Weiwei felt worthless for her, "If Song Pingsheng doesn't accept you again, he will really be a beast." β
"There is no right or wrong in love, like is like, dislike is dislike, he doesn't owe me anything. After all, in the past ten years...... All the joy and self-emotion are just one-man shows. He Yi said, "I used to think that if I worked hard to invest the cost of time, I would get an equivalent exchange, but Weiwei, love is not a commodity, it is not equivalent." β
"So I don't hate him, on the contrary, as you said seven years ago, it's a relief for yourself to say something." He Yi said again, "So now like you used to be, I am relieved." Even if I can't step into the Song family again in the future, and I can't call him brother again, but it doesn't matter, who wanted him to be my brother in the first place? β
"Then I wish you a new life." Song Weiwei raised her wine glass.
"Thank you."
When you touch the glass, you drink it all, and it's all in plain sight.
The wine was poured into his mouth, and half a cup was in his stomach, He Yi stared at Song Weiwei and asked her, "Why are you here?" β
"Me?" Song Weiwei laughed, "I'm the proprietress here, this is the bar I opened with my fiancΓ©." β
"Are you engaged?" He Yi was surprised, "So fast?" β
Song Weiwei smiled shyly, "If you meet the right one, you will make a private decision for life!" β
As soon as she finished speaking, she beckoned to He Yi's back and called softly: "Mingshuo, here." β
The man stood behind her, and Song Weiwei hurriedly introduced the two parties, pointed at He Yi and said, "This is my high school classmate, He Yi." After speaking, he looked at the man next to him with a sweet face, "He Yi, this is my fiancΓ©, Li Mingshuo." β
"Hello, Miss He."
"Hello, Mr. Lai."
The two politely shook hands and exchanged a few pleasantries.
"Since you are Weiwei's friend, then you come to our bar as a guest, naturally you have to be free, Weiwei rarely has classmates who can talk to you like this, and she comes more often when she is free, I am afraid that she is too boring and unwilling to come to the bar to accompany me." Dawn smiled innocently.
Song Weiwei's face was slightly red.
He Yi smiled and agreed: "Definitely." β
He Yi looked at them like this, the man's eyes full of love surrounded Song Weiwei, the two talked and laughed, and suddenly the boy raised his right hand and gently scratched her nose, showing his love slightly.
An enviable handsome man and a beautiful woman.
He Yi sighed.
After Li Mingshuo went to solicit business, Song Weiwei sat back in her place, the red on her face had not yet faded, like a little girl to be married.
He Yi couldn't help but quip: "It's really married to love...... It's weird and enviable. β
Song Weiwei covered her mouth and giggled, "If you are willing to choose another path at the fork in the road, you will also be happy." β
In short, let her give up Song Pingsheng.
"How could I have been lucky to meet such a good man." He Yi muttered in a low voice.
"Mo Chengyu, isn't it?" Song Weiwei said, "Mo Chengyu liked you when he was in high school, but you fool never knew it." β
He Yi's face turned red, "What are you talking about!" It's impossible for me to talk about this kind of impropriety all day long. β
"Why can't it be? How can it be 100% impossible for a man to be unmarried and a woman to be unmarried? As long as you want, there is no impossibility, just like me and Mingshuo......"
The topic was interrupted, and He Yi's curiosity was immediately aroused, "Yo, what touching love story?" He's chasing you, right? β
"How do you know?"
"You're all in the honey pot." He Yi shook his wine glass, "Moistened by love, I smiled with a nostalgic face."
Song Weiwei laughed softly, "So, I gave up a Song Pingsheng, don't I still have a dawn of Shuo?" The sky hasn't fallen yet, and I've lived the same life. β
"Do you love him?" He Yi asked suddenly.
Song Weiwei was stunned, "At first, I thought I wouldn't fall in love with him, but he just had this ability, which made me fall into it unconsciously, open the door of my heart, and let him walk in openly." β
"He chased me for five years, and he touched me and made me regain my self-confidence and find the color of love in my life."
"So what can you say or not, the moment I confessed to Song Pingsheng, I thought that I could escape from everything, be reborn, and then welcome a new life."
"When he first decided to open a bar, I decided that the name of our bar would be Rebirth. My parents didn't support his career, so he decided to give up the bar and work outside, and he was doing his best to make my life better and make me understand that there is another person in this world who loves me more than himself. Frankly, I can't do what he does. β
After Song Weiwei finished speaking, she took another sip of wine.
Scenes of the past are projected in her mind, and she has grown from a young girl who only knew how to chase Song Pingsheng to a mature and able to accept a relationship again.
"And do you still love him? Song Pingsheng. He Yi listened carefully and slowly fell into it, "He is ...... to you now?" What is it? β
Song Weiwei thought seriously for a long time, and gently spit out three words: "Bai Yueguang." β
Love but can't, unreachable people in the heart, but ...... Not around.
"He will always be the white moonlight of my youth, and the rest of his life will be full of dawn, and no one can replace anyone." Song Weiwei said again.
I don't know how long we chatted, Song Weiwei left first. When He Yi came out, the night was already very deep, the pedestrians on the road were leisurely, the laughter of children, the sound of adults, the sound of wheels, and the sound of bicycles tinkling, the world seemed to be noisy at this moment.
She looked up at the moon in the sky and smiled wryly.
It's just the moon, why do you always have your eyes on it. Before the breakup, I can't compare, I may think that I am not good enough, not worthy of you, but after the breakup, you still have her in your heart, I am capable, I am better for you, but I still can't occupy a trace of space in your heart.
He Yi dragged his drunken body, just standing on the side of the street blowing the wind, and seemed to remember all the things in the past, and tears fell unconsciously.
For the rest of his life, there will be no Song Pingsheng.
