Jerry. Thornton walked into the bar he frequented as usual, sat down in the high chair in front of the table, asked for a whiskey on the rocks, drank it all in two sips, reached out and asked for another one, and when he pushed the empty glass to the bartender Ah Wei for the third time, Ah Wei frowned in surprise.

"Mr. Thornton, did you have anything unpleasant today?"

Because of its proximity to the business street, this bar is often frequented by foreigners, and Jerry is a frequent customer here. Among the foreigners who often come, Jerry impressed Ah Wei the most, he is not only handsome and cheerful, but also very self-disciplined, and has never drunk and smoked once, and it is almost rare to ask for three glasses in a row like today.

"No. didn't go wrong, on the contrary, I'm happy." Jerry raised his glass to Ah Wei, and drank it all again.

This, is this a pleasure? Ah Wei shook his head.

Jerry pushed the cup towards Ah Wei, "One more drink." ”

Ah Wei shook his head, "No, I didn't drink like you." ”

Jerry frowned and asked strangely, "Ah Wei, you don't want to sell alcohol anymore?" ”

"Look at what you said, I'm a bartender, how can I not want to sell alcohol? Then again, although you are here to drink and I am a wine seller, the way you drink today, it won't take long for you to be carried out. Mr. Thornton, I've always considered you a friend, and I really don't care about it if you change someone else. ”

Jerry patted Ah Wei's arm movingly, "Ah Wei, you are my friend." ”

Ah Weile is gone.

"If you really treat me as a friend, listen to my advice, wine is not drunk like this, and drinking like this is too harmful to the body. Seeing that there was no one over there, he didn't stop talking since he came in, and he drank for an hour, and he was probably in a worse mood than when he first came in. Don't use alcohol to drown your sorrows. There is a saying in China, called, borrow wine to drown sorrow, sorrow is even more sorrowful. ”

Jerry looked in the direction of Ah Wei's finger, and there was a man sitting alone in the dim corner, although it was only a silhouette, and the lighting was poor, but Jerry still recognized it at a glance.

"Season."

A cry of surprise, Jerry grinned.

"You know him? Great, go and persuade him, if he continues to drink like this, he should call an ambulance. ”

Jerry stood up and walked towards Ji Siming.

In a dimly lit corner, an empty wine bottle stood prominently on the table, and the bottle next to it was halfway down. Looking at the past from the side, Ji Siming, who was drinking with a stuffy head, was full of indescribable loneliness and frustration. Jerry had never seen Ji Siming so depressed as he was now. He knew very well why Ji Siming was drinking here, and sat on the sofa opposite him in a complicated mood, greeting him as easily as possible in a relaxed tone.

"Hi Ji."

Ji Siming raised his head and looked at the other side, the blurred focal length slowly gathered together, and his red eyes gradually widened.

"Jerry? How are you? Brother Jerry. ”

Jerry smiled and shrugged, "It's just a coincidence, I come to this bar a lot." ”

A smile bloomed on Ji Siming's face: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Jerry." It's not interesting to drink alone. You're here, great, I'll pour you a drink, let's drink together. ”

As he spoke, he poured a full cup for Jerry, then filled his own cup, and raised his head to drink.

Jerry reached out and grabbed his wrist, shook his head and said, "Ji, you can't drink anymore, you've already drunk too much." ”

Ji Siming hehe, "Do you think I'm drunk?" Tell you, no way, I can't get drunk. Know who I am? I am the son of Bacchus and will never get drunk. Let's have a drink. ”

Jerry's hand firmly grasped Ji Siming's wrist like an iron tong, and said in a resolute tone: "No matter whose son you are, you can't drink anymore." Unless you want to be carried out of this bar. ”

Ji Siming stared at Jerry seriously with blood-red eyes, and Jerry's face had a very serious expression, without a trace of accommodation. The two were in a stalemate for a while, and finally, Ji Siming nodded and slowly put down the wine glass.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, don't drink anymore."

Jerry also let go of his grip and nodded in satisfaction.

Ji Siming clasped his arms in his hands, leaned back on the sofa, and asked Jerry with a smile: "Old friend, we two old men, sitting in the bar, what else can we do without drinking?" ”

Jerry stretched out his hand and called for the waiter, and ordered two glasses of orange juice to be fetched on the rocks.

"Juice?"

Ji Siming laughed: "Two men, sitting in the bar drinking juice? Jerry, you're okay with your head, right? ”

Jerry pulled out his cigarette and lit one.

"I'm not sick at all, my head is even more sober, and I know very well why you're drinking here."

Ji Siming suddenly stopped laughing, and he leaned back on the sofa in frustration, panting deeply.

"Why? Jerry, can you tell me why she did this? ”

Jerry exhaled a heavy puff of smoke and shook his head, "To be honest, I don't know. All I know is that she's happy now. Jerry saw a radiant face, a sunny smile, and a look in his eyes that he had never seen before.

Ji Siming shook his head in confusion.

"It's so unexpected, how did she fall in love with Zhong Yue so easily? She is so sacred and unattainable in my heart. Do you know? Even if it was close, I didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool. Every time I was with her, I even had a feeling of trembling, for fear that I would accidentally scare her away. I was so stupidly ridiculous, I even thought I knew her very well, and today I found out, it turns out that I don't know her at all, I don't understand, you say, what is she thinking in her little head? ”

Jerry looked at Ji Siming with sympathy and bitterness.

"I've loved her for over four years, and I've fallen in love with her from the first time I saw her at the library gates. For four years, I knew what she liked to eat, what kind of books she liked to read, how she wore clothes, and every habit she had in every way, but I still didn't dare to say that I knew her completely, because I didn't know her heart. How long have you known her? One month? Trimester? Or half a year? Tong En, she is such a person, it seems that she is very close to you, but you can never reach her. In her heart, there is a door, which is her own world, no one can enter this door, you, me, can't get in. ”

Ji Siming stared at the wine bottle on the table in a daze.

"Yes, you're right. There was a door, there was a moment when I thought it was going to open, and I was so confident that one day she would open it to me. But today, hope was dashed. Why, you say? Why Zhong Yue? Not me? Nor are you? She was, once said, in her heart, that I was different. ”

Jerry smiled openly.

"Ji, Tong En treats you more with appreciation, followed by friendship, but there is absolutely no love. You are a very good man in her eyes, she appreciates your wisdom, your courage, your ability, and even more appreciates your tenacity, she appreciates you from the heart, but this is not love. Tong En is a very conservative woman, without love, she will not be with any man. There is a saying in China: the bystander is clear. I'm a bystander, and I see better than you do.

As for me, as early as four years ago, I knew clearly that Tong En would not fall in love with me, and between us, there was only friendship, no love. To Tong En, I am like her brother, a friend and a family member. ”

"Even if she doesn't love me, what about Zhong Yue? Does she love Zhong Yue? ”

Jerry shrugged.

"I think so, the way she looks at Zhong is very special, I've never seen her look at other men like that."

Ji Siming's heart was suddenly filled with a strong jealousy, and for a while, he couldn't help laughing at himself, he couldn't imagine that he would be jealous for a woman one day.

Jerry looked at Ji Siming's face distorted by jealousy, and shook his head helplessly. Although he knew very well that Tong En would not fall in love with him, when he knew that Tong En already had a heart, he still felt that it was not a good taste.

He took the remaining half bottle of wine, poured a glass for Ji Siming and himself, raised the glass and said to Ji Siming with a smile: "Come on, let the two men who are in the same disease do this last glass." ”

Ji Siming picked up the wine glass, but did not drink it immediately.

"Jerry, are you really not resentful of Tong En at all?"

Jerry finished the glass in one gulp and smiled calmly.

"I will never complain about Tong En, I only have love for her, she is the most beautiful oriental princess in my heart. I just want her to be happy, and whatever choice she makes, I will bless her as long as she is happy. ”

Ji Siming stared at Jerry with straight eyes for a long time, and slapped Jerry's shoulder with his palm.

"Brother Jerry, you taught me a lesson today. I don't have your man, really. Thank you! ”

After speaking, he tilted his head and poured the wine into his mouth.
