289. The iron tree blossoms
When Aoki returned to Liuying Lane, it was just dusk.
There were already a few customers sitting in the Ruhua Bar, and the new waiter was standing at the door to greet customers. The faΓ§ade, which is much brighter than before, can be seen at a glance The stage inside, Mo Yu sat on the stage with a guitar to tune, and Xiao Qi watched stupidly behind the bartending bar.
Aoki walked in, leaned lazily against the bar and said, "Have a beer." β
Xiao Qi came to his senses and said with a smile: "Boss, don't you want to try the cocktail I concocted?" β
Aoki said, "Forget it, with your craft, I'd better drink beer." β
Xiao Qi was not angry, he smiled and poured a glass of beer for Aoki, and pushed it forward skillfully, and the wine glass slid over on the smooth countertop, just stopping in front of Aoki.
"I got the true biography of the proprietress and the guests said it was delicious!"
"It's Mo Yu, right?" Aoki picked up his wine glass, looked at Mo Yu on the stage and said, "Isn't there a band, why do you still let your daughter-in-law show up, not afraid of being abducted by the rich second generation?" β
"Hey, who dares!" Xiao Qi said disdainfully, "Who dares to freeze the ground on Tai Sui's head?" The matter between me and Mo Yu is the proprietress who is right! β
"Are you treating me as the Empress Dowager Cixi!" Bi Shenghua came in through the back door and just heard Xiao Qi's words. She also sat down next to Aoki at the bar, "Have a glass of Margaret, and see your craft." β
Xiao Qi stuck out his tongue at Aoki and turned to bartend.
Since seeing Zhao Pengcheng's illusory second half of his life, Aoki has been a little different when he looks at the flowers of his life. He seemed to see the middle-aged woman with crow's feet in the corners of her eyes and a hint of sadness in her eyes, carrying a vegetable basket, walking lonely on the street of Liuying Lane.
It was only a moment to unfold the memory scene in the dream, but it was a real decade for that world. Life is short, prosperity is fleeting, and a woman dedicates her best years to a man who is lying in bed and can no longer wake up. Now, he's back. And is she coming back too?
Aoki suddenly remembered what Dewar had said, that Szeto was looking for evidence that World War II was fake. He used to think how absurd this idea was, but now he thinks about it, if there was a person trapped in the zero-dimensional dream corridor before World War II, if he came out one day, would time and space be pulled back to that era?
However, is he the only one who will go back, or will the whole world go back because of him? It's like Aoki is back, Zhao Pengcheng is back, but is the world that Zhao Pengcheng experienced really coming back?
This is an unsolvable mystery, because neither Aoki nor Zhao Pengcheng can go into that world to take a look. And where did the flowers that grew old in that world end up? Is she the same person as the lifelong flower in front of her?
Bishenghua saw Aoki looking at her, and the eyes were still strange when he looked at her, and he glared at her and said, "What are you looking at, I have writing on my face?" β
Aoki still looked at it in amazement, as if admiring a rare treasure. Something rich gradually came out of his eyes, filling the air.
"Thank you!" He said.
"What?" Bi Shenghua looked puzzled, "Thank me for what?" β
"Thank you for always being with me and never leaving. I'll be good to you from today onwards. When I finish my mission, we'll find an island and stay together forever. β
"Neurotic!" Bi Shenghua scolded lightly and looked at Aoki like a monster.
Aoki's expression is serious, his tone is sincere, and his eyes are fiery. Bi Shenghua knew that he was not joking, her face turned red, and her heart jumped unconsciously.
Xiao Qi, who was bartending, snorted and laughed, but he didn't dare to laugh too loudly, and he looked like he had a stomachache.
There was a viscous mood in the air, like a glass of red wine staining the evening sunset. Bishenghua couldn't stand it a little, avoided Aoki's eyes, and said to Xiao Qi: "Mix your wine well, what a smile!" β
Xiao Qi held back a smile, put a glass of Margaret on the bar, and winked at Bishenghua: "The sun is coming out in the west today, and the boss will say love words, it is really an iron tree blooming." β
Bi Shenghua pretended to be disdainful and said: "Cut, I can hear this kind of words hundreds of times a day in the bar, and my ears are calloused." β
The number of people in the bar began to increase, and Mo Yu sang on stage, and the atmosphere became stronger. Bishenghua and Aoki both drank in silence, while Xiao Qi concentrated on mixing drinks for the guests.
I don't know if it's because of alcohol or something else, Bishenghua's face is always flushed with a rosy color like a fresh peach blossom, and Aoki's eyes are full of a thick soft light.
Bishenghua didn't dare to look directly into Aoki's eyes, and secretly shouted in his heart: Speak, you stupid! Say something, don't look at it like that, say something else, and my heart will soften now, while the damned crow isn't there......
However, crows are everywhere.
"Quack, I'm out in the wind and sun, but you're here to enjoy it!"
The coal boss jumped out of nowhere, flapped his wings and jumped onto the bar, walking around in front of Aoki and Bishenghua.
"Found it! Got it! Croak...... I'm amazing! In such a big city, guess how I found him? β
He kept pacing the bar, muttering, but didn't hear back. He thought the atmosphere was a little weird, so he looked up. Seeing the flush on the boss's face that had not completely faded, and seeing Aoki's eyes overflowing with honey, the crow seemed to understand something:
"Wow, is the sky falling? Such as - flower ββ, hold on! β
Bi Shenghua stretched out his hand to hit him, and scolded with a smile: "Dead crow, you're not hungry, are you!" β
The crow croaked twice: "Is the sauce elbow ready?" β
Bi Shenghua said: "Upstairs, go eat by yourself." β
The crow nodded unhurriedly, jumped on Aoki's head, scratched Aoki's hair with his claws, stretched his neck, hung his head upside down, hung it in front of Aoki and said, "Come on!" β
The customers in the store were attracted by the funny crows and took out their mobile phones to take pictures. The crow hurriedly covered his face with his wings: "Oh, the rules here, it's okay to chat, don't take pictures, don't post to Moments." β
The guests laughed after a little coaxing.
Aoki grabbed the crow from his head and said, "If you continue to swagger, you can become an Internet celebrity." Then he said to Bishenghua, "Let's go out for a walk." β
Bi Shenghua nodded and followed Aoki to stand up.
The crow was held in Aoki's arms and stuck out his head and shouted, "Quack, oh, tap!" I can't even breathe! Wow, you should have put your arms around the hostess, not me! β
After leaving the bar, the crow returned to Aoki's head. The evening breeze blew and softened the feathers around his neck. He looked down at Aoki, then sideways at Bishenghua, and said, "I'd better go eat sauce elbows." β
Aoki asked, "What did you just say you found it?" β
The coal boss said, "That stupid cat." β
"Sound?" Aoki knows the importance of cats to poppies, "Where is it?" β
The coal boss said: "I was taken in by a kind old lady, and it was not easy to take him out during the day, so I planned to pick him up in the middle of the night." Oh, by the way, something seems to have happened to that old lady. β
Bi Shenghua said: "This is an important matter, go and pick it up now, don't make any extraneous branches." β
