Season 1 Listen Chapter 6 Waiting for Yourself in the Place

When you say you like it, it's often happy and innocent; When it comes to love, most of them are serious and apprehensive. Because liking is liking, there is no reason, no concern; Love, on the other hand, is responsibility, responsibility, and sometimes utilitarianism and deception, selfishness and possession. However, all love does not come without a cause.

"It turned out that it was either white or black, but it was naΓ―ve to think that it was necessary to be drunk and sober and innocent to commit crimes......"

Under the blue light, the little pig brother held the guitar and sang love songs affectionately.

Familiar and unfamiliar, acquaintance and unknown friends, they all like to listen to Brother Pig sing, and I am his fan and fan. Little Brother Pig is not a professional singer, but he has the voice of a professional singer. He likes to come to my encounter bar once in a while to be a resident singer at no cost to me, which makes me feel very useful. Of course, as a very good friend, I will not hesitate to bring out the best wine to share with him. With him and a group of friends like him, I was happier when it came to bars, because it wasn't just about money.

In the deep light, a short-haired girl wandered away, she slowly walked to the bar, and sat down gently, her eyes full of tastelessness, emptiness and confusion. She knelt down in front of the stage with one hand on her cheek, listening to the song quietly without saying a word.

"Want something?" I stepped forward and asked.

She looked at me and asked, "Are you the boss here?" The voice was clear and indifferent.

I said, "Yes." β€œ

She said nonchalantly, "Can I talk to you about a business?" ”

I asked, "What business?" β€œ

She said, "I'll give you a guest here, and then you sell the drink and you give me a commission." ”

"What?" I asked, "You mean you gave me this as a bartender?" ”

She said indifferently: "It's okay if you want to understand it like that." ”

I shook my head and said, "No, I don't do anything that violates the law and discipline, and there are a lot of exposures in the media about using beautiful women as wine trays to rip off customers at high prices." I'm in serious business, and I don't do this kind of hookup. ”

She smiled and said, "Whoever told you to rip off customers at a high price, you can do as much as you want, and you don't have to bully customers." If you don't do anything that violates the law and discipline, I will not do it. ”

"Okay!" I thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, you might as well think about it." However, I ship this at a low price, and the commission ratio I can give you will not be too high. ”

She asked, "So how high can you give a commission?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Hmm...... It's hard to say, it depends on what kind of drink it is. ”

She said, "Tell me about it. ”

I shook my head and said, "No probably." ”

She smiled and said, "It seems that you are not a good boss anymore." ”

I laughed and said, "Well, almost." ”

She said, "Well, I just like working with people like you." I'll bring guests here from tomorrow, and as for the commission, you can see how much it is. I believe you. ”

I said, "Thank you, since you trust me so much, then I'm sure I won't let you suffer." ”

She said, "Well, then we'll see you tomorrow." ”

I asked, "You're leaving?" ”

She said: "The business is negotiated, what are you doing here?" ”

I said, "You're right. But I have a question for you. ”

"What's the problem?" she asked. ”

I said, "You don't look like you're short of money, so why do you want to come out and make a bartender?" ”

She smiled thoughtfully and said, "Who said I wasn't short of money?" But...... Hehe, maybe I'm lacking more than just money. Forget it, let's go. ”

"Wait......" I asked as I stopped her, "and I'm a partner in the future, I don't know your name yet." ”

She turned around and said, "Call me." ”

……

As soon as the next night dawned, he walked into the bar hand in hand with a tall and handsome young man. Unlike yesterday, she is as radiant and happy as a bird flying freely in the forest, completely without the tastelessness, emptiness and confusion of yesterday.

They chose a relatively secluded card pack and sat down, followed by the bartender, and then walked out with a drink list not long after. I called the bartender, looked at the wine list, and the amount spent was five times the low cost of the card pack. I thought it was funny, but I didn't know where the laughter came from, so I just told the bartender that she would give her a 98% discount when the table was checked.

However, he didn't appreciate my kindness.

Afterwards, she came to me and asked why she was discounted on her bill. I said that because I saw that she brought a boyfriend, I discounted it for the sake of cooperation and friendship. She asked me why I thought it was her boyfriend. I asked her, isn't it? She replied, yes and no. Then he told me not to do anything stupid like a discount again. I'm noncommittal.

In the days that followed, she would bring one or two "friends" every night, and the consumption was not low. Some of these "friends" are a good match for her, and some are not, but when she is with each of them, her face is full of joy and happiness, and it is the kind of joy and happiness that comes from the heart. It's just that the state of happiness and happiness is not quite the same, sometimes it is gentle and quiet, sometimes it is frank and unrestrained, and sometimes it is a bird that depends on ......people. Clearly, she is enjoying this life.

According to the agreement, he came to the bar at noon the next day to settle the commission for the drinks of the previous night. At first, she only settled the commission and didn't say much, but day by day, we got to know each other and talked about it sentence by sentence. She is a woman with a story, and I still listen habitually when talking to this kind of woman with a story. She talked about some of her past stories, which were love stories that I didn't easily understand. But roughly speaking, she has loved a certain person or some people, and has been loved by a certain person or some people, cute and lovely, but she doesn't know what real love is.

At noon that day, I came to the bar on time again. As usual, we will have a few words to talk about each other, and the Lord or she will come and I will listen. But this time, I don't know which tendon is in the wrong place, so I started to persuade him. I said to her, "Oh, I have something to keep in my heart, and I want to talk to you today." ”

He asked indifferently, "What words?" You say. ”

I said, "I feel like you're an emotional liar." ”

Oh Xi still had an indifferent expression: "You're right. ”

I said, "I don't think it's good for you to be like this, I think in life, you can cheat on everything, but you can't cheat on feelings." ”

He said, "Then you think, not mine." ”

I asked, "So what do you think?" ”

"I think feelings are the cheapest and the most squanderable. ”

I said, "Sooner or later, you're going to set yourself on fire like this." ”

His face was gloomy: "You don't need to worry about this!" It's time for me to go......" she got up and stepped out of her seat. When he was about to go out, he bumped into Susan, who had just entered the door.

Susan was smiling and still saying something politely, but seeing her gloomy expression, she decisively withdrew what she wanted to say.

"Well......" Susan walked up to me and asked, "What did that girl do?" Why is his face so old and heavy? ”

I said, "I don't know the draft, maybe it's raining because the air pressure is too low." ”

Susan said: "Talking nonsense, honestly, did you do anything to others?" ”

I smiled and said, "Pull it down, what can I do to her." Hey, why are you so free today? Why are you looking for me? ”

Susan said: "Today is a make-up holiday, and I have been saying goodbye to my family until now, this is not a famine, but I am too lazy to make it myself and don't want to eat takeout, so I will come to you for a meal." Alas, let's make something delicious. ”

I said, "You're really strong-mouthed, and I'm getting ready to be the highest." ”

Susan asked, "The highest level!" What is the highest level? ”

I said: "This highest state is complicated to describe, it has to use freshly picked top melons with thorny cucumbers, unearthed crisp sweet carrots that are kept fresh at room temperature for three days, virgin firewood eggs raised in the grove, high-quality rice on the banks of the Songhua River, and top green shrimp...... The most important thing is that the rice should be divided into grains, and the eggs should be glued, and more importantly, ......"

"Stop...... stop," Susan stopped me, "I should be the highest, the vernacular is an egg fried rice for a long time." Okay, I'm not interested in learning about the highest realm method, I haven't eaten water and rice since early days, and I'm hungry. You'd better do it quickly. ”

"Good, good...... You wait a moment. ”

The local area was busy for a while, and a pot of "the highest state" with good color and flavor came out of the pot. As I walked out of the kitchen with fried rice, Susan was on the phone. I only heard her say, "Alas, Xing'er! Why are you going in the afternoon? Oh...... Then let's go shopping. Well...... Well...... Yes! What to eat? Well...... Oh, I have the 'highest level' here, so I don't want to pack a copy for you. What is the 'highest level'? Haha, you'll know when the time comes. The kneading materials are particularly exquisite, and the methods are particularly exquisite...... Yes, yes......" Susan said on the phone, taking a bite of fried rice, "it tastes pretty good." Good...... Let's say okay, you wait for me, I'll go over. Well...... 2ey! ”

"What's the ......," Susan hung up and said to me, "I've got something to do, I'm going to have to get out first." Help me pack two portions of your 'highest realm' and I'll take them and eat them." ”

I said, "How urgent is it?" Let's go after eating. ”

Susan said, "No, I made an appointment with Xing'er, and she waited for me." Don't grind, pack it for me. ”

"No......," I said, "it's only two, and you've packed them up, so what am I going to eat?" ”

Susan said, "You just have to make another one." ”

I said, "This is the highest level that must be cooked overnight to be delicious, and that's all there is to it, and it's all about it." ”

Susan said: "Tell me when the new ones will be delicious and delicious." Okay, you hurry up and pack it for me, Xing'er and I are not wronged to help you deal with the leftovers, what are you still holding here. ”

"Hey...... And so it goes! "I looked helpless.

……

The night likes to soothe every lonely and wounded heart in her own way.

On a lonely street, a man kneels in front of a woman and tells something in pain. The woman had the same cold look on her face as I could, and the man seemed familiar. In the evening, Susan sent me a video in which she told me, "I bumped into this scene while shopping with Xing'er, and this girl seems to be the one I met at the bar at noon that day. ”

After nightfall, the man in the video arrives at the Meet Bar and gets drunk. Later, on the city's main thoroughfare, not far from the bar, the mournful sound of brakes pierced the silence of midnight.

For a long time after that, he didn't come to the bar again. Until one day, she came to tell me that she was leaving the city, going to the place where she came, to find her former self. This time, there was no indifference in her eyes, although there was a trace of sadness, but it contained a longing and yearning.

When she turned to leave, it was clear in front of me that a body was no longer lonely and empty, but a soul that knew how to care for true feelings.
