Chapter 8: Pretending to be a couple
After marrying Jin Lan, Fat Xiang took You Mi and me to the bar he opened to play. The name of the bar is "Butterfly with Folded Wings". This name made me very uncomfortable, and it felt like a curse on me, because my other nickname was Butterfly.
The bar is not big, but the location is located in the more prosperous east square of the old town. Different from those bars with colorful neon signs, exaggerated decoration, and full of flavor, "Butterfly with Folded Wings" is decorated with a relatively literary and fresh atmosphere.
The white walls are matched with gray floor tiles, and the wood-colored tables and chairs are matched with green vine plants. There are many cute instruments on the walls, including guitars, trumpets, accordions, and snare drums, some of which are real instruments, and some of which are just imitation accessories. In addition to musical instruments, there are also many photographs and decorative paintings on the wall, which are landscape photos taken by Fat Xiang when he went on a trip, and decorative paintings are some freehand watercolors and abstract style illustrations.
In general, the decoration style of the bar shows Fat Xiang's taste and literary cells.
"Come, Da Ou, this is my blind date today, You Mi, this is her cousin, Little Rabbit." Fat Xiang beckoned to a man with strong body and resolute features, "You Mi, little rabbit, this is Da Ou, my partner, and now one of the shareholders of the bar." Fat Xiang turned back to me and You Mi and said.
"Yo, it turns out that Sister Xiang likes tall and mighty models." You Mi looked at the tendon meat on Da Ou's body, and couldn't help but YY evilly: I don't know who is up and who is down?
"Yes, where is Youmi? Which one do you like? Fat Xiang asked You Mi with a smile, and he didn't mind You Mi calling him Sister Xiang at all.
"I like lean ones, they look thin when they are dressed and they have meat when they are undressed." You Mi doesn't like muscular men, and feels that facing a muscular man all day long, he doesn't even have the desire to eat meat.
"A lot of the regulars in our bar are lean, but just look at it, they like to bring handles just like you." Fat Xiang said cruelly.
"Hey, it's a tyrannical thing!" You Mi couldn't help but sigh, the handsome guy can see it or not, just like a eunuch watching a palace maid, he can only rely on his brain to make up for it.
"Hello, come, may I sit down, what do you have to drink?" Da Ou is very enthusiastic, and he doesn't regard You Mi as a rival at all, of course, there is no need.
"When you come to the bar, you must be drinking, do you drink milk!" You Mi casually found a seat at the bar.
"Yo, it's a bold girl, I'll make two cocktails for the two beauties!" Da Ou was also very happy, and after speaking, he began to mix cocktails for the two of us.
Watching Da Ou pour it there a few times, the double cocktail was ready.
"This cup of red is called the Red Phantom, give it to Youmi." Da Ou gave You Mi a glass of red cocktail with a cherry insertion, and the red liquid swirled in the glass, sometimes orange-red, sometimes black-red, sometimes pure red, like a mysterious phantom, giving people a mysterious and unreal feeling.
"This cup of blue, called Blue Boiling, give it to the little rabbit." Da Ou gave me another blue cocktail with a slice of lemon in it, the blue liquid was filled with many small bubbles, swimming from the bottom up, creating a boiling sensation on the surface.
"Da Ou, You Mi is very righteous and promised to pretend to be a couple with me to deceive my mother." Fat Xiang said to Da Ou.
"That's great, Youmi, the future happiness of me and Shoko depends on you, I toast you!" As he spoke, Da Ou opened a bottle of cold beer and toasted You Mi.
"You're polite, just help each other, I don't want to rely on Sister Xiang to deceive my dad, so as not to always let me go on a blind date." You Mi raised her glass and touched it with Da Ou.
Fat Xiang is gentle and talkative, Da Ou is bold and casual, and the four of us talk and laugh until the evening.
After seven o'clock in the evening, the "butterfly with folded wings" began to be lively, and people came one after another, some in groups, some alone. Gradually, the temperature in the bar began to rise.
These guests seem to come here just to drink wine, listen to songs, and meet friends. But if you look closely, you can see that there are either men and women in pairs, and there are almost no men and women in pairs.
At eight o'clock, the resident singer began to perform, singing some folk songs and English songs. In addition to the sound of the guests chatting, it was the singer's singing, no one made a fuss, and no one made trouble, everyone quietly enjoyed this wonderful time.
After listening to the song for a while and drinking a few bottles of beer, You Mi began to get restless, and she suggested that everyone should fight for the amount of wine.
"Come to the bar, of course, let go and drink, don't fight the amount of alcohol, I'm sorry for the word bar." You Mi coaxed.
Sister, be reserved!
"Okay, since the girl is so refreshing, then let's fight the amount of wine. But if you lose, you'll be punished. The big European thief smiled at Youmi, and his two eyebrows were raised up in a cooperative manner.
Brother Ou, don't laugh so happily now, when you cry!
"Well, the one who wins can make the loser do one thing." Yumi began to gear up.
"No problem!" Da Ou said angrily.
So, You Mi and Da Ou began to fight for a lot of alcohol, and the atmosphere of the bar was also made hot by the two.
The chattering people around stopped chatting, and the people who listened to the songs stopped listening, and they all came to watch You Mi and Daou fight wine.
"Little rabbit, is it okay to swim in rice? Daou has a good amount of alcohol, and I haven't seen him get drunk yet. Fat Xiang looked at You Mi with a worried face.
"You'll be able to see it tonight." I whispered.
After the second case of beer was settled, You Mi and Da Ou still looked calm, as if all they had just drunk was water.
...............................
When the fifth case of beer was opened, everyone in the bar came to watch, and even the singer put down the microphone and ran over to join in the fun.
You Mi was still not red or panting, but Da Ou's face had begun to turn white, and the hand holding the wine bottle began to tremble.
"Oh, is it okay? Don't be pushy! As a caring boyfriend, Fat Xiang stood up in time to dissuade Da Ou, for fear that something would happen to him.
"I... I'm a monk! (I'm okay) Da Ou shook off Fat Xiang's hand and continued to shake his hand to aim the mouth of the bottle.
However, the mouth of the bottle is either to the nose or to the chin, and the mouth is not accurate.
"Alright, Da Ou, let's do it tonight, next time we'll fight." You Mi also saw that Da Ou was dying, and quickly reached out and snatched the wine bottle in his hand.
"Look, you don't drink any more rice, let's not drink it anymore, okay?" Fat Xiang thoughtfully helped Da Ou to sit down and opened him a bottle of mineral water.
"Well... Well, swim ... M, you say, how do you want to... How to punish? Ohio struggled to straighten his tongue so that he could make every word clear.
"Well, I didn't think about it." You Mi only thought about fighting wine, and didn't think about punishment at all, "Little rabbit, what do you say?" "Yumi asked me for help.
"Pluck your legs!" I glanced at Da Ou's thick leg hair and said fiercely.
Hearing these three words, everyone stared at Da Ou's leg with malicious intent.
"Good!" Da Ou gritted his teeth and agreed, "But who will operate it?" "Oh looked at me.
"Pluck it yourself, I'll show you how to demonstrate." As I spoke, I stepped on the stool and twisted a relatively prominent leg hair on my calf, and with one force, I plucked the leg hair off.
"Cow!" Yumi gave me a thumbs up.
So, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Da Ou plucked his leg hair while shouting.
"Ouch!" Da Ou pulled out one and called, "Sister, how many are you going to pull out?" Da Ou looked at me and You Mi with a begging look.
"Twenty... No, ten. You Mi looked at Da Ou's painful appearance, but his heart softened, and he sincerely felt that I was too ruthless.
"Good! Oooooooo "We had a pleasant night out at the bar in the midst of the screams of great anguish.
The next day, Fat Xiang took You Mi to the house to meet the fat mother.
"Ouch! This girl is even more beautiful than Chang'e. After the fat mother saw You Mi, she held You Mi's hand and didn't let go, for fear that as soon as she let go, You Mi would go to the moon, even though there was only the sun in the sky now.
Fat Mom, have you ever met Chang'e? How could Chang'e be so dark!
"Hello, Auntie." You Mi seems to be very well-behaved, and there are questions and answers.
"What does Yumi do?" One of the questions that parents must ask each other.
"I was an administrator in a branch of the water plant." You Mi answered truthfully.
"Okay, the water plant is a state-owned enterprise, the treatment is good, and the work in the office is stable and easy." At the beginning, the administrative work that You Mi chose for ease and comfort has become the favorite of major parents.
"Yumi, do you like boys or girls?" The fat mother's thinking is more jumpy.
"Well, it's all right." It's not good, I hate bear children, You Mi shouted in her heart.
"I like girls, I always thought I was pregnant with a daughter, but I didn't expect it to be a child." The fat mother said regretfully.
"Actually, you can also treat Fat Xiang as a daughter, because he will bring you a son-in-law back in the future." You Mi couldn't help but muttered in her heart.
"You Mi, if you and Fat Xiang get married in the future, try to give me a granddaughter!" Fat Mom, this is the first time we've met, are you thinking too far?
"Mom, what are you talking about! What should I do if I scare Yumi away? Fat Xiang hurriedly stood up and interrupted the fat mother's YY.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I want a granddaughter when I see you, I don't know why." The fat mother looked at You Mi happily, her eyes lit up, and she was so nervous that her pores shrank.
So, in the case of the fat mother's eager eyes, the incomparable embarrassment of Fat Xiang, and the chicken skin that appeared from time to time in Youmi, a meeting ended successfully.
You Mi also passed the assessment of the fat mother, and is no longer embarrassed by Fat Xiang, and Fat Xiang can continue to plant chrysanthemums happily.
After seeing Fat Mom here, it's Fat Xiang's turn to come to Youmi's house to see my aunt and uncle.
"Yo, this guy looks so handsome!" The aunt, who usually rarely opens her mouth, couldn't help but step forward and take a closer look after seeing Fat Xiang.
"Xiaohu, go get the fruit." My aunt separated my aunt, for fear that she would take a look at Fat Xiang more.
"Little Pan, please take a seat." My aunt put on a father-in-law face.
"Okay, thank you, uncle." Fat Xiang's courtesy is very thoughtful.
"Xiao Pan, what do you do?" Look, the questions all parents ask.
"I opened a bar in the East Side Plaza." Fat Xiang looked well-behaved.
"The bar... Very good. "My aunt didn't know much about bars, so I thought they were taverns or something.
"Yes, it's okay. Next time, I'll bring some wine from our bar and give it to my uncle, and I'll hear Youmi say that you have a good amount of alcohol. "Look, Fat Xiang is better than You Mi.
"Oops, you don't have to break the bank!" My aunt smiled and waved his hand, but what he actually thought in his heart was: Young man, you can be a man, I am optimistic about you!
"I won't break the bank, you can give some advice when the time comes, and see how it tastes." Fat Xiang said to his aunt with a smile.
So, at the dinner table, my aunt and Fat Xiang talked about wine. He felt that if this young man was not his future son-in-law, he would bow down to him and become a pair of old friends.
Auntie, Fat Xiang's best job is to please men. At this point, Yumi is beyond reach.
After getting the parents on both sides, You Mi and Fat Xiang played their own games, one planting chrysanthemums and the other raising turtles.
Yes, you read that right, You Mi, who can't feed anything, has started raising turtles. In this way, when someone asks her if she grows flowers in the future, she can say that she only raises Wang Ba.
However, in order to cope with their parents, You Mi and Fat Xiang will still go to each other's house from time to time to eat, pretending that each other is going well.
And when Youmi is fine, he will also go to Fat Xiang's bar to play. Since losing to You Mi in the wine, Da Ou has more admiration in his eyes when he looks at You Mi. Therefore, as long as there is a drinking matter, Daou will call upstream rice, join forces with You Mi to drink the other party down, and then let the other party pluck their own leg hair.
Da Ou, who can't take revenge on Yu Mi for plucking his leg hair, can only spill his resentment on other people, no, it's on his legs. Over time, there is one more wine master named "Mao Buliu" on the rivers and lakes, whoever loses to him, who has no leg hair on his legs.
