26

Liu Fei sat on the familiar seat, it was still early, the night was not dark enough, there were few people in the venue, and most of the seats were empty. She sat with her head bored and distracted, and suddenly realized that Lao Chen was waiting for her to order something. She stared at the table in a daze, gesturing for half a dozen beers.

Lao Chen went silently, came back with six bottles of beer, gently placed them on the table, and gave her a bottle.

"Drink slowly." Lao Chen said softly.

Liu Fei looked up at Lao Chen, he knew her habit, every time she came over early to wait for someone, she would order two bottles, drink them slowly, and wait. Wine is to be drunk with people after all.

She smiled reluctantly, nodded, picked up the bottle, and poured a large gulp into her mouth.

When Lao Chen came back, he was carrying five grilled meat skewers in his hands, bubbling with aroma and dripping oil, and placed them on the skewer plate in front of her. "Next bar, I'll ask you for these ones."

There was relief in his voice, even a hint of pity. Liu Fei took a big sip of wine, his mood was much better, he smiled at Lao Chen's kindness, picked up a new bottle of beer, and handed it to him, "This bottle is please." ”

Lao Chen was not polite or verbose, took it and used a screwdriver tied to his wrist, and the two touched the bottleneck and poured a mouthful each.

"It's been a long time since I've been in the store, and it's the first time I've drunk my own beer." Lao Chen said with emotion.

"It's a pity that it's getting harder and harder for me to come back in the future, otherwise you will come often, and you will drink often." Liu Fei also sighed.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"You're always here to welcome you." Lao Chen's bottle tapped the table twice, and Liu Fei's cup also fought back. Lao Chen turned around with the wine bottle and beckoned the new guests to go.

When Huang Ligong and Liu Ruiyang arrived, Liu Fei was drinking the fifth bottle of beer. Both of them frowned when they saw the table full of empty bottles.

"Where's your little bird?" Liu Fei asked, her voice was clear, as if nothing happened, as if she had just drunk five glasses of cold water just now.

Huang Ligong didn't know why, and looked at her curiously. Liu Ruiyang went to the barbecue stall and looked for Lao Chen to eat.

"I didn't expect you, a straight man of steel, to like birds and people." Liu Fei grinned.

Huang Ligong had no choice but to laugh at himself, "My life is turbulent like this, I can't achieve anything, it's good if someone wants it." ”

"People are of the same mind." Liu Fei said understandingly, "It's stormy outside, or it's the scorching sun, and when you're running around outside, you really need someone to know the warmth and cold." ”

Her appearance made Huang Ligong's heart furious even more than the storm, he picked up the cup, snatched the beer from Liu Fei's hand, and poured it up. Liu Fei touched him and asked, "Why didn't you bring her over?" ”

"There are some things in her family that are in Shanghai these days." Huang Ligong looked at Liu Fei and added, "Really." There seemed to be a big deal at home, and she went back to help her dad. ”

He was telling the truth, Xu Qianqian's family had changed dramatically. When Xu Qianqian was with him at night, she would keep talking on the phone. He wouldn't listen to her calls, but the occasional few words and her tone of voice were enough to let him know that she was talking to a few people, one of whom was her father. It seems that something is going on in her house, something subtle. hung up the phone, Xu Qianqian didn't talk to him about these things, so he didn't ask. Xu Qianqian said that there was something at home and she had to go back to Shanghai for a while, and he readily agreed. He's happy to be alone, and he has a lot of things to deal with.

Liu Fei smiled. She knew that Xu Qianqian was in Shanghai. She went to her. Liu Ruiyang called her more than half a month ago, and after speaking, there was silence on the phone, and her heart was touched. When she was young, she and Liu Ruiyang were not close. She often laughs at herself, and when she was a child, her real brother was Huang Ligong. Liu Ruiyang is just a little friend who happens to play with Huang Ligong. Her perception of Liu Ruiyang comes more from the mouths of her parents and all the elders, and she will always be her imaginary enemy; Perhaps, in her little girl, Liu Ruiyang has really become an enemy, not to catch up and knock down, but to stay away. She is almost everywhere different from her brother, in personality, speech, work, ability development, the more superior he is at this end, the farther she runs to the other end. When they grew up, the two didn't see each other often, and when they met, they were calm, but they didn't talk speculatively. This phone call made her feel for the first time that behind the silence of words without speculation, there was real concern.

Hanging up the phone, she was stunned for a moment behind her desk. She found that she wasn't much sad. Over the years, many people have pursued her, and a few of them have been eye-catching, and she has also tried to go down, but in the end they all failed. After all, these people couldn't get into her heart, and maybe she didn't get into their heart either. Most of her holidays are to go back to Jiangcheng, back to the town, see her parents, see her brother, and see Huang Ligong by the way. For Huang Ligong, or rather, the two of them, she didn't want to think about it much, and ran away every time her thoughts touched. She didn't feel like she was waiting for Huang Ligong, she would be disgusted with being like this.

Before returning to Wushan, she went on a business trip to Shanghai. Knowing that there are several stores in Shanghai, although they are all in the suburbs, as long as there are local sales, it is enough for her to get the address of the boss of Sayre Science and Technology. She was under the sidewalk tree opposite and saw Xu Qianqian walking out, looking forward to her life. She stood still, watched Xu Qianqian's figure disappear into the distance, and turned her head to leave.

On the way out, she actually felt a sense of sympathy. She knew very well in her heart that the two were not at all the way, and they might never become friends. However, she saw another kind of bearing in Xu Qianqian's clever smile, and saw something strong on her body. She rarely saw this intensity in other women, and it was enough to give her some respect. Xu Qianqian is not extraordinary. Huang Ligong is still worth being with her.

It seems that love and understanding are two different things after all. Liu Fei thought, let it go. The ideal love in her heart is for two eagles to stand side by side in the desert wind, looking up at the yellow sand; But perhaps some eagles prefer willow-green branched orioles.

"Brother, don't move!" Liu Fei gave an order to Liu Ruiyang, who had just sat down. Liu Ruiyang grinded, waited for Lao Chen to finish roasting at the barbecue stall, and came back with a large skewer of small skewers. She put the skewers on the plate and stuffed one for Liu Ruiyang. Liu Ruiyang didn't hold it and dropped it on the table.

"Flattered, huh?"

All three laughed. Liu Ruiyang picked up the skewers and put them in his mouth to eat slowly.

"When I was a kid, it was all my job. I've been following you all day, and you don't care about me. Liu Fei took a sip of wine and teased Liu Ruiyang, "Brother, I didn't say you, you don't look like a brother." When people are brothers, they are proud to have a younger sister, and they are swaying every day. As for you, you avoid me every day. ”

The wicked sue first. Liu Ruiyang choked on the small sip of wine he drank and coughed with a smile.

"People like to take their sisters, and they are all docile and well-behaved. You are wilder than your brother, how dare he take you. Huang Ligong helped.

"You're here to mess with me." Liu Fei looked at Huang Ligong, wrinkled his eyes with a smile, to hide the sadness in his eyes, and the wine glass in his hand kept shaking. Huang Ligong put on a posture of looking at death as if he were at home, and resolutely raised his glass. Liu Ruiyang's cup was also raised. In the air, the three cups collided together, and the eyes of the three were hidden behind the amber luster, and they returned to their childhood in a trance.
