Chapter 19: Forks in the Road (2)
After eating and drinking, I was about to settle the bill, and the cashier came over, a little girl who looked like a student.
"A total of 128 were consumed."
Mingyu and Du Shao both took out their wallets.
"Wow! Are you D.Joy? The little girl cried out, and the people around her immediately cast curious glances.
Du Shao smiled, shook his head and stood up, put two hundred yuan on the table and left quickly, it was not allowed to drink on the street at night. Min Hao chased him out, leaving Mingyu and others to make change.
"Excuse me, but do you know D.Joy well?" The little girl asked Mingyu.
"Yes."
"Is he here to play? Where to stay? ”
"I don't know."
"Does he have a girlfriend?"
"Nope."
"Oh, not really. This is looking for his change, remember to give it to him. The little girl handed the change to Mingyu.
At this time, Mingyu's mobile phone rang, and it was Qinqin.
"Hey, Qinqin."
"Brother Mingyu, where are you now?"
"On Beer Street."
"Empty? My mom isn't home, can you accompany me to get something to eat? ”
"Yes, yes, what do you want to eat?"
"You can do anything, just Beer Street, my house is nearby, come right away."
"Well, I'll wait for you at the intersection."
For so many years, Mingyu has always regarded Qinqin as his sister, and their parents are divorced, although Mingyu doesn't care too much, but there is a feeling of sympathy.
After a while, Qinqin arrived and saw Mingyu leaning against a tree on the side of the road.
After four bottles of beer, Mingyu was already a little faint.
Qinqin handed Mingyu a cigarette and helped him light it.
"What do you see eating?"
"Beer, grilled fish."
They went to a shop with a lot of family, ordered a fish, and asked for two beers.
"Brother Mingyu, how much did you guys drink today?"
"One piece, 4 bottles per person."
"That's a lot! Did the two of them go back? ”
"Yes."
"Brother Mingyu, Du Shao seems to be very good to Xiaoxiao, they ......" Qinqin wiped the table with a tissue while peeking at Mingyu to see how he reacted.
"Xiaoxiao won't agree to him!" Mingyu extinguished the cigarette in his hand, he had never smoked in front of Xiaoxiao.
"Well, I know, Xiaoxiao has always liked you."
"I didn't doubt it before, but now I'm not so sure."
"Why?" Qinqin looked at Mingyu with happy eyes, and she seemed to see hope.
"I don't know. Is there still smoke? ”
"Yes." Qinqin took out a box of cigarettes from her bag and handed it to Mingyu, who took out one and continued to smoke.
Qinqin looked at him stupidly.
After a while, the grilled fish was served, and Mingyu couldn't eat it at all, so he poured himself wine and drank it all.
"Why don't you wait for me, I'm not even good yet!" Qinqin took the bottle and poured half a cup.
"Come, this cup is waiting for you!" Mingyu is full again.
"It's been a long time since I've been drinking with Brother Mingyu, it must have been 3 years, right?" Qinqin picked up the cup.
"Yes, cheers!"
"Shall we have a drink today?" Qinqin turned the finished wine glass upside down, and there was not a drop left.
"No, I can only drink it another day, I can't drink it any more today, just this bottle." Mingyu knew that he would break if he drank it again.
In the end, the grilled fish didn't move at all, and Mingyu couldn't sit still after drinking his bottle. Qinqin helped Mingyu out after paying.
"Brother Mingyu."
"Huh?"
"Do you want to go left or right when you go home?"
