The evening dinner place was chosen in a well-known hot pot restaurant outside the school, the capital located in the north is still cold, there is still a period of time from the warm spring, the hot and spicy hot pot is undoubtedly the best choice for friends to have dinner at this time, if you drink one or two glasses of white wine, you will be warm when you go out.

The business in the store is very hot, the customers are basically students from nearby colleges and universities, and they can feel the hustle and bustle of youth when they come and go, but fortunately Qian Xiaodong booked a seat in advance, otherwise there would be no seats for a step late.

Chen An was the last person to arrive, and when he came, Meng Fanfei and Jiang Zhili were both playing with their mobile phones with their heads down, as if they didn't want to deal with each other, while Qian Xiaodong kept talking and trying to liven up the atmosphere.

"Chen Ping! You're finally here! Punish yourself for being late for three cups!"

After seeing Chen An, Qian Xiaodong hurriedly stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand to point to the alcoholic drinks on the table.

"White or beer?"

"I don't like to drink. ”

Chen An sat on the empty seat next to Jiang Zhili and hung his backpack on the chair.

"Don't be so disappointing, don't talk about three glasses, one cup is okay, right?"

As he spoke, Qian Xiaodong opened a bottle of liquor on the table, poured a small cup and pushed it directly in front of Chen An.

“......”

Chen An shook his head helplessly, took the cup and drank it all.

"Okay!" Seeing that Chen An drank it in one go, Qian Xiaodong immediately applauded, and then took advantage of the situation to shout at the two guys who were playing cold war on the table. "You see Chen Ping has drunk it, are you embarrassed not to drink it? Come on, come on, let's go together!"

Not allowing the two to refuse, Qian Xiaodong directly put the full wine glass in front of them, and he made a toast as if he was ready to toast, seeing that the two were still hesitant, he immediately pulled down his face and said.

"I said, what's the matter with you two?

"Come!"

Jiang Zhili put down his mobile phone, took the wine glass and stood up, his eyes looked at Meng Fanfei opposite, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Drink it. ”

Seeing this, Meng Fanfei snorted lightly, and toasted with the two without saying a word.

"Haha, that's right, come on, come on, eat vegetables and meat, order whatever you want! Brother has a treat today! Just let go of your belly and eat!"

Qian Xiaodong smiled again and beckoned them to start eating.

At the dinner table, Chen An has been silently shabu-shabu, but Qian Xiaodong continued to persuade them to drink after eating a few bites, especially Meng Fanfei and Jiang Zhili, in less than an hour, the two bottles of liquor and six bottles of beer on the table made them clean.

As the saying goes, alcohol is the catalyst of feelings, and many things that are held in the heart on weekdays will be released and confided through the influence of alcohol, and often the conversation box cannot be stopped as soon as it is opened.

"Fan Fei, it may be that my tone is not very good at noon, I don't know which nerve you touched, I apologize to you for this. ”

After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Zhili's face was slightly drunk, and his eyes stumbled towards Meng Fanfei in a daze.

"I was the one who should apologize, but I had my own emotional problems, and as a result, all the impulses were vented on you. Meng Fanfei unconsciously shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"With tonight's wine, let's talk about it, Fan Fei, what's the matter with you? Make you this virtuous for a woman!" Jiang Zhili took the wine and poured it for the other party first.

"I don't know what's going on with me, since I fell in love with Shen Lingyun, my mind is full of her, whether it's eating or sleeping, I think about what she's doing now, every day I can't see her reply on my phone, I become restless, restless, I like her, I really like her......" Meng Fanfei picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, and began to cry when he spoke. "But why doesn't she like me? What am I doing that displeased her? Why did she reject me...... I can make her the happiest woman in the world......"

"Fan Fei, don't you know that emotional matters are reluctant?" Jiang Zhili sighed lightly and pulled a tissue for him.

"I know, of course I do!" Meng Fanfei blew his nose with a tissue. "But I just like her, what can I do! It's the first time I've liked a girl so much, and without her I feel like the whole world is a gloom. ”

"That's okay! Speaking of which, I didn't object to you liking her before, right? Even Haiyan and I have tried to match you, but you can see that no matter how much you like her, she doesn't like you, and she has even explicitly rejected you several times......" Jiang Zhili poured himself a drink. "Although you can continue to like her, you can't affect the normal life of others?! ”

"What can I do? What can I do?" Meng Fanfei said sadly. "I used all the methods I could, and in order to pursue her, every day I looked for ways to please girls on the Internet, but in the end she became more and more alienated from me. ”

"There is no grass at the end of the world, why do you hang yourself on a tree? Moreover, feelings are two-way, one-way words are only called wishful thinking, and if it is more serious, it is called stalking, you are no longer love at all, and the result is harm to both you and others, so it is better to let go, only in this way can you free yourself. Jiang Zhili said earnestly and persuasively. "Otherwise, if you continue like this, you won't be able to be even the least of friends. ”

......

......

"I've made you see the joke. ”

Outside the hot pot restaurant, Qian Xiaodong lit a cigarette for himself in the shade of the wind, he looked through the glass window at Meng Fanfei and Jiang Zhili, who were exchanging feelings inside, and then turned his head to Chen Andao, who came out with him to breathe.

"No, in fact you're just doing your duty as a friend. ”

Chen Ping carried his bag on his back, put his hands in the pockets of his jacket, and looked at the endless traffic on the street in front of him.

"After all, we still have more than three years of classmates living together day and night, and if the relationship is stiff, it will be a torment and torture for each other. Qian Xiaodong took a deep breath of cigarette and seemed to feel that the topic was a little heavy, so he made a joke. "Isn't there something circulating on the Internet now, thanking my college roommate for not killing him? I'm doing this just for everyone's own sake. ”

"It's not as serious as you say. Chen An said calmly.

"Alas, you guy, you really can't even hear a joke, it's boring. Qian Xiaodong shook his head, he glanced at the time on his mobile phone, probably thinking that it was still early, and it was not too interesting to go back to school, so he simply asked Chen An. "Do you have anything to do later?"

"I borrowed a few books from the library in the afternoon and planned to go through them in the evening. Chen Andao.

"You can keep the book for tomorrow and continue to read, and then our brothers will go out to play and relax together!" Qian Xiaodong said.

"What are you going to play?" said Chen.

"What else could there be, of course it's a bar!" Qian Xiaodong said with a smile. "Even if you don't drink, just listen to the singing. ”

"Sorry, I'm not interested in bars. Chen An shook his head and said.

"Hey, hey, don't be like this! Chen Ping, you're out of place again, aren't you?" Qian Xiaodong continued to persuade. "Anyway, it won't take much time, it just so happens that Meng Fanfei and Jiang Zhili also need to vent their emotions well, and the bar is a good occasion. ”

"This is the only time, not an example. Chen An was silent for a long time.

"No problem!" Qian Xiaodong smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "And what you said made me feel as if I were begging you. ”

“......”

Chen An did not respond, in his opinion, when you decide to impose your will on others, you will inevitably have to pay a certain price.

"You wait here, I'll settle the bill, and by the way, the two goods will come out. ”

As he spoke, Qian Xiaodong snuffed out his cigarette butt, threw it at the trash can not far from the door, and turned around and returned to the hot pot restaurant.

As soon as Meng Fanfei and Jiang Zhili heard that they went to the bar, the cold wind blew after they went out, and most of the wine woke up, and they couldn't hide their excitement and hooked their shoulders and laughed, not showing the previous Cold War at all, Chen An, who had never drunk with them, knew for the first time that they had a good amount of alcohol.

There is a bar street in the capital, each with its own style characteristics and targeted consumer groups, last year, Qian Xiaodong and the girls came a few times, it seems that it is because of some popular idol special, of course, Chen An, who was not invited, is naturally not very clear.

After taking a taxi, the four of them set off in a majestic manner, Qian Xiaodong did not book a table, and planned to see which bar made the event more attractive after arriving at the place before making a decision.

The bar is a place where the bar is a combination of clean bar, disco (discotheque) and slow shake bar, but many people have the impression that the bar is a chaotic occasion full of all kinds of vulgarity, in fact, it is nothing more than a partial idea, if you don't like the noisy environment and want to drink in the crowd to relieve the boredom in your heart, a clean bar full of melodious jazz music is a good choice.

Qian Xiaodong didn't choose the bar, after a walk, the four of them came to a lively bar with moderate consumption and generally young people, and the shadows of students could be seen in the surrounding booths, and there was a well-known band performing on the stage, and the music was rock for a while, lyrical for a while, and rhythmically drove the atmosphere in the bar.

After ordering two dozen beers, Qian Xiaodong and the others began to play games and pour alcohol into each other, shaking their bodies with the music from time to time, and coaxing with the blind screams of the crowd, perhaps in order to avoid stimulating Meng Fanfei's relationship, Qian Xiaodong and Jiang Zhili both gave up their plans to call "family", and the weather and time period may not necessarily make the girls come out all the way.

Chen An didn't drink much, and he always had a respectful and insensitive attitude towards alcoholic beverages, because alcohol greatly affects his brain's ability to think, judge and react. If it weren't for Nian Neng to relieve hangover, he wouldn't even dip a drop of alcohol before, and he could perfunctory a direct sentence of alcohol allergy.

In fact, his role tonight is just a foil, not long after the conflict between Meng Fanfei and Jiang Zhili broke out, who knows if Qian Xiaodong had the idea of having a dinner party after seeing him, and planned to use this to repair the relationship between them.

In the four years of college, everyone's character flaws will be slowly exposed, and each other's classmates and friendships will change over time, today they can quarrel and reconcile, and tomorrow they may continue to part ways, not everyone has a tolerant heart like Qian Xiaodong, there will always be people who can't bear to choose to break up.

Chen An, who was in the bar, was like an out of place, holding a glass of beer in his hand that had never been drunk, his eyes quietly observing the emotional performance of the people around him, his ears were not affected by the music at all, and he felt that everyone was drunk and I was awake.

He used to occasionally drink with Xiaobao in bars, and he also tried to get drunk, so he knew very well that people who drank and people who didn't drink in bars seemed to be two kinds of people, but in fact they were a group of people who were afraid of loneliness.

It's inevitable that people will be lonely, so why wouldn't Chen An? It's just that everyone expresses loneliness in a different way. Just like people who drink and don't drink.

Drunken disturbances are quite common, especially in bars, after all, open places for drinking, no one can prevent this kind of thing from happening, so bars often attach great importance to security issues, in case there is a serious case of fighting and injury, a rectification is considered light, and the loss of profits during the closure period is enough to make the business cry.

Whether it is in front of the door or in the inconspicuous corner of the bar, Chen An has seen a strong man with a height of about 1.9 meters, wearing camouflage explosion-proof clothing, and a baton hanging from his waist to be responsible for security.

Chen An and Qian Xiaodong are not people who can easily drink and make trouble, and there are no beautiful girls around them who are easy to cause conflicts between men, if Shen Lingyun appears here and is harassed by other men, it will definitely be a different matter, because Meng Fanfei will be the first to jump out, and with the character he is showing now, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not fight.

In the early hours of the morning, Qian Xiaodong, who was drunk for seven minutes, was finally ready to leave, and when they got out of the door of the bar, several people hooked up and staggered together, I don't know who said something and wanted to vomit, but the three of them flocked to the alley not far away, leaving Chen An to wait outside.

When he was idle and bored, Chen An glanced around casually, and a silver-gray sports car happened to slowly drive nearby, instantly attracting the attention of many people.

"Oh, I don't know which family's son-in-law came out to bubble up again. ”

At this time, Qian Xiaodong's drunken voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

It turned out that Qian Xiaodong, who came back after vomiting, also noticed the sports car and the young man who had just come out of the sports car.

At first, Chen An didn't pay attention to it, until he caught a glimpse of another person walking out of the sports car out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.

I didn't expect him to be here!

Yes, the other person Chen An saw walking down the sports car was the mysterious young man who had fought fiercely with Hou Wenjun that day.
