Chapter 107: The Ghost Lingers
On late autumn nights, the lights are on.
Xia Xue took the bus to the 1986 bar. Halfway through, it suddenly rained in the sky, and the rain kept flowing down the windowpane. Like the face of a weeping woman, rows of silent tears flowed silently on the face of a flower.
When the bus arrived at the station, Xia Xue got off the bus and turned slowly towards the familiar side street. It was a bluestone-paved path that snaked quietly into the downtown area.
On both sides of the bluestone path, towering trees pass by the former homes of celebrities. Every time you pass by the door of this former residence, you will see the two iconic ginkgo trees at a glance. The golden leaves kept falling, piling up on the ground into a thick golden carpet. At dusk and sunset, there is always a flock of birds hovering overhead.
Xia Xue stepped on the hazy night, crossed this quiet path, and walked into the wide road on the right. A little further on, you arrive at the 1986 bar.
The waiters guarding the door are all familiar young faces. Blue vest trousers, a snow-white shirt, and a navy blue bow tie at the neckline. Clean and neat, full of youth, with a bright brilliance between the eyebrows and eyes.
Xia Xue is still in the old habit of sitting in a corner by the window. The dim light deliberately created in the bar makes the unfamiliar faces collectively fall into a blurred world, and ambiguous information is expressed everywhere.
Just like seeing flowers in the fog, fishing for the moon in the water, the plain and indifferent face in the daytime glows with fantastic beauty in this world.
The familiar waiter, with a smile on his face, came to Xia Xue and asked her what she needed? Xia Xue smiled mischievously, let's have two cups of pink beauty first, I want to become a fairy tonight.
The waiter, half-covered, smiled lightly. You are already more beautiful than a fairy, and you don't need to change anymore. It's change, and it's the fairy who wants to become you.
Xia Xue smiled, I heard that you have a newcomer here?
The waiter nodded. Yes, some time ago, the boss introduced me. She is very beautiful and smart. I heard from the boss that her sister had just passed away, which was really sympathetic and sad.
After speaking, the waiter came to Xia Xue's side, stretched out his finger, and quietly nodded to the seat in front of the left. Look, the waitress facing us is the new one. Tonight, she had an acquaintance come over, the gentleman who sat across from her, as if he had something to look for her.
Xia Xue stared over there and saw the girl. Her appearance is very similar to her dead sister, but she is more delicate and introverted than her sister. Although the light is dim, it can be seen that her eyebrows and eyes are better than her sister. She was talking to the man opposite, sometimes bowing her head humbly, showing the respect in her heart. This girl knows etiquette, has a quiet personality, and there is no slightest ostentatiousness between her actions.
The pink beauty of Xia Xuedian has been delivered to her eyes, plus a fruit platter. Xia Xue pointed to the platter and asked the waiter, did it send the wrong one? I didn't order this. The waiter laughed in a low voice, please use it slowly, this platter was delivered by our store. Xia Xue was deeply surprised and thanked with a smile.
Xia Xue took a sip of wine, and her eyes drifted to the seat she was watching just now. The man stood up slowly, and the girl across from him also stood respectfully, smiling like a flower and not knowing what to say to the man. The man nodded slightly, stepped out of his seat, and suddenly stopped. He turned to look at Xia Xue's seat, and immediately turned around and walked towards Xia Xue.
Xia Xue secretly exclaimed in her heart, God, how can you be so coincidental? That man is a man of the world. No wonder, Xia Xue felt that his back was familiar just now. Hi there, what a coincidence! Xia Xue had no choice but to wave her hand at the approaching Bu Shiren, smiling slightly.
Hello, Xia Xue! Bu Shiren walked to Xia Xue's seat in a few steps and greeted him in surprise. Are you alone? It's great that we can talk about it individually. Bu Shiren pulled out the chair opposite Xia Xue and sat down happily.
By the way, Xia Xue, let me introduce you to someone. Bu Shiren glanced at Xia Xue, bowed his head embarrassedly and said, That person is the sister of my γγγγγγ ex-girlfriend. I always feel that I owe her too much, so I want her sister to work in our company, and I want to ask for your opinion! If I do this, it can be regarded as compensating my ex-girlfriend, hoping that she will know underground and stop resenting me. During this time, I always had nightmares at night, and every time I dreamed that she was scolding me!
Xia Xue looked at Bu Shiren quietly and sighed sympathetically. Alas, why bother in the first place when you knew today? If you have this idea, how can I object to it? Besides, you're doing good, and of course I'm rooting for you.
Bu Shiren clasped his hands, lowered his head, and let out a sigh. This girl's name is Xiaoqing, she is Qing Qing, she looks very similar to her sister, but she is much more knowledgeable and sensible than her sister.
Xiao Qing was wearing the costume of a waiter, and he had already followed Bu Shiren and walked over. She greeted Xia Xue generously and decently, without a trace of cowardice on her face, and smiled calmly. Xia Xue nodded at her and said, Hello.
Bu Shiren looked up at Xiaoqing, and said, Xiaoqing, this lady is the vice president of our company, Ms. Xia Xue. I have just told Mr. Xia about you going to the company. Mr. Xia has a good impression of you, and she has agreed. In this case, you can seriously consider it, and if you decide, please go to work at our company as soon as possible!
Xiao Qing hurriedly bowed to Xia Xue and thanked him. She said gracefully, thank you for the opportunity I have given, I will definitely cherish it. It's just that I haven't been working at the bar for a long time, and I haven't learned anything yet! I thought γγγγγγ wait until I'm pretty much familiar with the bar job before I go to work in your company, is that okay? I just want to learn more about how to make a living, so that I can survive in the future.
Xia Xue nodded approvingly and said, Xiaoqing, you are a hard-working girl, it's really rare! The door of the company is open to you at any time, and we will respect your choice. Alsoγγγγγγ about your sister's death, we are all sad in our hearts, and we are all sorry for her. I hope you will get out of the pain in your heart as soon as possible and cheer up!
Xiaoqing, gratefully saying thank you, choked up and burst into tears. Xia Xue stretched out her arm and held her cold fingers tightly, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but moisten.
Bu Shiren supported his forehead with one hand and sighed heavily! Xiaoqing, although this matter started because of me, this result is not what I want to see. Hopefully, you can understand.
Xiaoqing hurriedly wiped her tears with the corner of her clothes, and said to Bu Shiren, I know my sister and I won't blame you. Besides, for so many years, if you didn't contribute money to help our family, I don't know what our family's life would become! You are the benefactor of our family. It's my sister who has gone too far and broken your heart.
Bu Shiren looked at Xiaoqing with emotion, tears flashing in his eyes. Okay, Xiaoqing, our business is over, you go to work! When you decide to go to our company, call me in advance, and I will come and pick you up.
Ok thanks. Xiaoqing bowed down to thank Bu Shiren and Xia Xue. Then, ask the people of the world, do you need to order anything more? Bu Shiren thought about it and said, give me two cups of pink beauty. It is said that women are made of water, and I want to be clear and clear today, and I don't want to be the turbidity I used to be!
After Bu Shiren said this, Xiaoqing and Xia Xue looked at each other and smiled, revealing a little relieved. Xiaoqing turned to leave, busy taking care of the guests. Bu Shiren and Xia Xue were silent and thoughtful, drinking glass after glass.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Xia Xue received a call from Xiaozhi and asked where she was? It's so late and I don't come home yet. Xia Xue told the truth, and Xiao Zhi nagged two sentences dissatisfied, saying that he would come over to pick up Xia Xue immediately.
When Bu Shiren heard this, he immediately understood that Xia Xue was indeed famous, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
Xia Xue, I really don't have a chance? I can't forget you, and I've already changed my mind. Can't you just give me another chance? I love you, Xia Xue, I really love you! Bu Shiren stared at Xia Xue drunkenly, with a painful look of remorse and regret on his face.
Xia Xue looked at Bu Shiren blankly, without a ripple in her heart. This man's love words, no matter how beautiful they are, can't make Xia Xue's heart move anymore. If you miss it, it's a lifetime. A return to the past is just an unrealistic luxury.
Seeing that Xia Xue was speechless, Bu Shiren stood up in frustration, whispered goodbye, and left gloomily. Xia Xue looked at his departing back blankly, and did not feel the slightest pity in her heart. For a man who has easily betrayed him, Xia Xue will no longer believe him, let alone be moved by his confession again.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed to Xia Xue's side and sat down next to Xia Xue. Xia Xue was taken aback, who? She asked, exclaimed.
Haha, it's me! I haven't seen you for a few days, and you won't even forget about my impermanence, will you? I heard that you almost had an accident, and I was so worried that I couldn't sleep. Later, I heard that you were hospitalized. I wanted to go to the hospital to see you several times, but I was afraid that Xiaozhi would be too distracted, so I went back to trouble you. I had to give up, and my heart was so anxious that I was going to die.
Xia Xue turned her head, saw that it was impermanence, and breathed a sigh of relief. Am I not still alive? Don't worry about me. Xiaozhi will come to pick me up after a while. Did you come over and drink on your own? Not with those brothers?
Impermanence smiled and said, "As soon as you get off the bus, I'll find you." It looks like you're preoccupied, so I didn't bother you and followed you all the way from afar. How have you been doing? Xiao Zhi him, embarrassed that you haven't been? You γγγγγγ that aspect, and when something went wrong, didn't he complain about you? Every night, will he abuse you and torture you? After all, you are so beautiful and seductive, he can only watch but not eat, will he do something γγγγγγ very perverted?
Xia Xue blushed instantly, embarrassed and angry, but she just let Impermanence talk about her heart. She was speechless for a long time, and could only blush with hatred.
Impermanence grabbed Xia Xue's soft little hand and squeezed it hard. Xia Xue, you don't have a wound on your head, do you? By the way, you must have been beaten on the body, right? That crazy woman, damn it, just crazy.
Xia Xue looked sideways at Impermanence in shock, her lips trembling slightly. Impermanence, what you said is inexplicable, I can't understand a word. I'm so good, how can I get hurt? Besides, I can't mess with anyone, what are people beating me for?
Impermanence raised his other hand, suddenly hugged Xia Xue's shoulder, and leaned into her ear to speak. Little baby, that night on the trestle, the crazy woman desperately wanted to kill the person, isn't it you? Later, which of the dead ghosts did you kick into the sea?
Haha, that crazy woman, she thought she was a murderer until she died! She can't bear the inner torture and a heavy sense of guilt, and finally she will have a nervous breakdown and go to a dead end, right? Impermanence's low, threatening voice kept echoing in Xia Xue's ears.
Xia Xue half-opened her mouth in horror and looked at Impermanence in horror. It's like looking at a wisp of ghost that doesn't go away.
