Chapter 40: The Bar
A glass of brandy, without adding water or ice, drinking it in one go, is like swallowing a burning flame, about to ignite the internal organs, Zhou Jing endured it for a long time, but he still couldn't stand it, covered his chest with his hands, and coughed violently.
"Slow down, don't drink if you can't drink it!" The girl glanced at him, then lowered her head and touched the cup with her pointed jade fingers, as if she was quietly thinking about her thoughts.
Zhou Jing smiled, took the wine bottle again, poured a glass, and said softly: "I really didn't expect that a beautiful girl like you would like to drink this kind of strong wine." ”
The girl sighed and said faintly: "I just want to experience the feeling of being drunk, but unfortunately, it is always difficult to get my wish." ”
Zhou Jing was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Not very old, not small!" ”
"Why, you don't believe me?" The girl raised her head, looked at him defiantly, lifted the glass, and swallowed the liquor in the cup slowly, her movements were extremely graceful, and it was very pleasant to watch.
Zhou Jing was a little distracted, and after a while, he took his eyes away from her delicate lips and nodded: "Now I believe it." ”
The girl smiled slightly, touched the tissue, wiped her lips, and said lightly: "Since I was a child, I have only been drunk once, and it was on my mother's birthday, that time, both of us drank too much, hugged each other and cried for a long time." ”
Zhou Jing smiled, lit a cigarette, frowned and took a puff, spit out the smoke ring and said, "Why are you crying?" ”
The girl laughed self-deprecatingly and said softly, "Because Daddy didn't come back all night." ”
Zhou Jing seemed to understand something, but he smiled and covered it up: "Maybe he is too busy with work, men, always have to focus on his career, and it is inevitable that he will miss some important days." ”
The girl shook her head lightly and said gloomily: "This is just an excuse, if a man has not changed his mind, how can he forget to go home?" ”
Zhou Jing frowned and said tentatively: "It sounds like you have a deep prejudice against your father. ”
The girl smiled, turned her head away, and muttered, "It's not just prejudices, at my mother's funeral, I swore that I would never forgive that negative man in my life!" ”
Zhou Jing was silent for a long time before dusting off his cigarette ash and said in a low voice: "There's no need to be like that, after all, you are a father-daughter relationship, and blood is thicker than water." ”
The girl waved her hand and frowned, "Don't try to convince me, that's simply impossible." ”
Zhou Jing smiled and said softly: "Actually, you just want him to taste the taste of being abandoned by his relatives, right?" ”
The girl was a little surprised, looked at him deeply, and thought, "You are a strange person. ”
"Oh, what's wrong?" Zhou Jing touched the cup and quietly looked at the pretty face that was white and red, and felt more and more that she was brilliant and beautiful.
The girl pinched her chin with her hand, stared at Zhou Jing seriously for a long time, and said softly: "Your eyes are very special, there is a kind of maturity that does not match your age." ”
Zhou Jing's heart jumped, and he was extremely surprised by the girl's unusual insight.
However, he didn't show it, just shook his head lightly and said casually: "Is it? Few people say that. ”
The girl smiled and nodded, and said coquettishly: "That's right, this is how I felt when I first saw you, and now I am even more convinced." ”
Zhou Jing picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it, and said with a smile: "I have to say, your intuition is very sharp, my mental age may be older than it actually is, the main reason is that my mind is too heavy, and sometimes, I am often bothered by some inconsequential things." ”
The girl nodded, stretched out her white and tender little hand, touched the business card on the table, and said softly: "Zhou Jing, how old are you this year?" ”
Zhou Jing touched his nose and smiled, raised his head and said, "The man is eighteen and eleven flowers." ”
The girl giggled, flicked her business card with her fingers, and muttered: "At this age, it's too early to come out to work, have you ever thought about going to college?" ”
Zhou Jing shook his head and said softly: "That kind of life is not suitable for me. ”
"Why?" The girl frowned slightly, as if she was a little dissatisfied with Zhou Jing's lack of progress.
Zhou Jing grabbed the wine bottle, poured it full, and said with a smile: "If it takes four to five years just to get a diploma, it's not worth it." ”
The girl didn't seem to agree with him, and said softly: "Not only a diploma, in addition to learning knowledge, you can also have an unforgettable good time, and it is always a pity not to go to college." ”
Zhou Jing shook his head with a smile and said softly: "It's useless, you can't convince me on this issue." ”
The girl was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay, then change the topic, last night, why did you help me out?" ”
Zhou Jing fiddled with the wine glass and said with a smile: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" ”
The girl smiled and nodded, "I want to hear both the truth and the false." ”
Zhou Jing took a sip and said casually: "The lie is that I am a kind-hearted, sympathetic, and helpful person. ”
The girl tilted her head and said with a smile, "It doesn't look like a lie." ”
Zhou Jing smiled and said softly: "The truth is that you are very beautiful and amazing, and any man will be generous in that situation." ”
The girl pursed her lips and smiled, although she did not speak, but, judging by her expression, she seemed to be very satisfied with the answer.
Zhou Jing took a sip of wine and said softly: "Until now, I don't know your name." ”
The girl blinked, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and whispered, "Concubine Chen Xue." ”
Zhou Jing read it silently, nodded and praised: "Good name." ”
Chen Xuefei pursed her lips and said sullenly: "Where is it, for this name, I was not less angry before!" ”
Zhou Jing smiled slightly and said curiously: "Why?" ”
Concubine Chen Xuefei stretched out her white and tender little hand, combed her jet-black hair, and said dissatisfiedly: "There is no girl who likes to have the word 'concubine' in her name." ”
Zhou Jing smiled and said softly: "However, men like such a name." ”
Chen Xuefei smiled faintly, squinted her eyes slightly, listened to the music in the bar, and after a long time, she smiled and said, "Maybe, someone said the same thing." ”
Zhou Jing took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I can feel it, you like that man very much." ”
Chen Xuefei glanced at him, didn't say anything, and after a while, she shook her head and said, "I used to like it, I'm not sure." ”
Zhou Jing was a little curious, and said softly: "What kind of man is he?" ”
Concubine Chen Xue lifted the wine glass, took a sip, and said lightly: "Just like this wine, the surname is very strong." ”
Zhou Jing smiled slightly and whispered, "Why did you break up?" ”
Chen Xuefei shook her head lightly and said sadly: "There is no such problem, in fact, we have never held hands." ”
Zhou Jing was a little unconvinced, and said with a smile: "It can be seen that you have a deep affection for this man." ”
Chen Xuefei frowned slightly, and said softly: "How can you say that?" ”
Zhou Jingna pointed his eyes and smiled: "You were betrayed by your own eyes." ”
Chen Xuefei sighed lightly, put her hand against her cheeks, and said slowly: "We used to live in the capital, we played since childhood, he is like a big brother, he cares about me in every way, but the relationship between us is nothing more." ”
Zhou Jing smiled, drank all the wine in the cup, poured another glass, with a little drunkenness in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it, since you like it, then go and confess, you can't let the opportunity be missed in vain." ”
Chen Xuefei played with the cup and sighed: "You are really smart and can read people's psychology." ”
Zhou Jing smiled and said softly: "What, have you made up your mind?" ”
"It's too late, it's already missed." Chen Xuefei shook her head lightly, bit her lip, whispered, filled the wine again, raised her glass and said: "Come, let's make a toast to the newlyweds from afar, and wish them both to grow old and marry forever!" ”
Zhou Jing was a little surprised, stunned for a moment, and frowned: "He's married?" ”
Concubine Chen Xue nodded, tears flashed in her eyes, and she said with some grievances: "The wedding was held yesterday, and now, he may have flown to Australia, and he once said that he would take the bride around the world." ”
Zhou Jing sighed and said softly, "Cheers!" ”
"Cheers!" Concubine Chen Xue smiled, but her eyes were crystal clear, and her appearance at this time was particularly cute.
The cups slammed together slightly, making a tinkling sound, and the two of them drank each other, with a slight drunkenness on their faces, Zhou Jing sighed: "Sometimes, there is only one opportunity, and if you don't grasp it firmly, it will be fleeting and never go back." ”
Concubine Chen Xue waved her hand and said wonderfully: "No, some people are destined to become passers-by, no matter how close they have been, one day, they will disappear from their respective lives." ”
Zhou Jing smiled and said softly: "I can feel it, you are in pain." ”
Concubine Chen wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand, shook her head and said, "No, on the contrary, I think they are very compatible, and I sincerely bless the two of them." ”
Zhou Jing waved his hand and said intoxicatedly: "Lie, you are like a wounded deer that escaped far away." ”
Chen Xuefei giggled, with tears in her eyes, and said softly: "Maybe, although I have been mentally prepared, it has become a fact, and I still can't accept it." ”
Zhou Jing stretched out his right hand, slapped it heavily on the table, and said drunkenly: "Forget him, an excellent girl like you, I'm not afraid that I won't find Prince Charming!" ”
Chen Xuefei shook her head lightly, bit her lip and said, "I don't need Prince Charming, I just want to go back to the past and live that carefree life." ”
Zhou Jing glanced at her, picked up the cup, and said softly: "Drink!" ”
Chen Xuefei nodded, touched the cup with Zhou Jing, the two listened to the music, drank wine silently, each thinking about their hearts, and stopped talking.
In the soft and soothing music, Zhou Jing drank another half bottle of brandy, only to feel dizzy, everything in front of him became trance-like, and he couldn't see it really, and the wine was like a wave, tumbling and surging between his chest and abdomen, which made him feel extremely sad, so he lost his cup and lay on the table, motionless.
Chen Xuefei smiled, stretched out her white and tender little hand, pushed his shoulder, and said softly: "Zhou Jing, are you drunk?" Don't get drunk, get up quickly, drink with me, drink two more glasses, and I'll build a thermal power plant for Qingyang. ”
Zhou Jing coughed a few times, raised his hand, shook it slightly, and said vaguely: "Go away, go away, you super liar!" ”
