Chapter 3: Green Mood
Uncle Mary's Steakhouse is not far from the bus stop, about a 10-minute walk away.
Walking on the pedestrian street, the breeze is just right. Looking at the men and women coming and going, hugging or holding hands, Bai Yifan couldn't help but feel a sense of jealousy in his heart.
Putting his hand in his pocket and opening the mobile phone chat box again, Li Jiao still didn't send a message... It seems that the little girl is more reserved, or her speed is too fast, in short, let's stop here first, Bai Yifan had to comfort himself like this.
Finding the little electric donkey under the tree, Bai Yifan wiped the seat dry with an egg-like toilet paper in his pocket, and drove leisurely in the direction of his home.
Coincidentally, today's road is red all the way, so, this is not... Bai Yifan was stuffed with a cart frame advertisement.
Waiting for boredom, he unfolded the crumpled pink advertising paper, estimating which andrology/gynecology clinic Xu made a wild advertisement, thinking that such a good resource should not be given to Brother Pig to go back and talk about it well.
However, he was wrong. Here's a little propaganda with obvious political overtones:
"Dear Asian compatriots,
At 10 o'clock tonight, for the sake of the fallen soldiers, please come to the Civic Park and participate in our memorial service.
Frahan (red pen crossed out)! Blood debt and blood repayment! β
I looked at the red light with three seconds left, and quickly mourned in silence in my heart, I couldn't imagine that a life could pass so quickly... Just half an hour ago, I was on TV watching him grin at us with a hard grin...
However, it has nothing to do with him...
Bai Yifan endured the grief he was about to surge, and when the green light came on, he drove forward like the wind, and threw the advertising paper into the air.
Only a "bang" was heard, and a loud bang came from behind.
Bai Yifan turned his head to look behind him, only to see that the advertising paper he had thrown was hitting the rear glass, and the black BMW sedan was in a hurry and collided with a white Jetta turning right in the wrong direction.
There is no way, if you do something wrong, you will do it by yourself.
Bai Yifan turned the car around and was about to discuss the claim with the two cars behind him.
The white Jetta got two people first, and he was very impressed by one of them, wasn't that Li Jiao!? She changed her outfit, wearing a long-necked bodysuit with green diamonds, a set of black stockings, and a pair of white high heels on her feet.
At this time, she was being held in the arms of a burly bald man, shivering.
The bald man was not dressed well, a gray T-shirt with Ah Ming's milk also printed on it, and a pair of gray black sandals on his feet. Looking at his age, he can be Li Jiao's father.
And what got out of the BMW car was an aunt wearing a white cheongsam dress, her hair was coiled, and she looked quite temperamental in her forties.
Bai Yifan rushed to Li Jiao in a hurry and took off the riding helmet on his head.
Li Jiao recognized it, panicked, and secretly pushed away the bald man's arms.
"Li Jiao, who is he!" Bai Yifan pointed at the bald man and asked.
"He... He's my boss. Li Jiao said timidly.
"That! So what is your relationship with him! Why is he holding you?"
"I... I..."Li Jiao couldn't say why, and she was about to cry when she saw this posture.
"You don't have to embarrass her!" The bald man spoke, "She's my clerk!" Lonely in this city, I have always seen her as a sister! β
"Oh yes? Then do you know that she came to me on a blind date in the afternoon? Bai Yifan pressed forward step by step, even if the bald man was twice as big as him.
"Thisβ" The man looked down at Li Jiao angrily.
At this time, more and more people around came around, perhaps for fear of embarrassment, the bald man hurriedly got into the car and prepared to start the car.
Li Jiao saw that the bald man wanted to stay, so she hurriedly pulled the car door and left with him. But unexpectedly, this old man was ruthless, locked the door from the car, and dropped the sentence "You were fired!" And then he was gone.
Li Jiao squatted on the road and cried bitterly, and the people passing by either despised or ridiculed her, and Bai Yifan felt a faint pain in his heart. So he walked to the side of the road and hurriedly handed her the handkerchief paper in his pocket.
"Who wants your paper! Bai Yifan, you are happy, you are satisfied! Li Jiao knocked off the tissue in his hand and shouted.
"I..." Looking at the woman in front of him who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, Bai Yifan was speechless for a while. The black eyeshadow is washed away by tears, like a stream-of-consciousness Chinese painting.
"What am I! I'm ruined by you! You will only bring misfortune to others! Li Jiao grabbed his collar and was about to spill.
At this time, a white arm stretched out from behind him, but the slender jade hand made Li Jiao's splashing unable to continue.
"I can see clearly, you are eating from the pot and looking at the bowl." Auntie snapped. Her momentum is so strong that it is impossible to refute.
Li Jiao looked at the woman in front of her, who was not easy to mess with, so she could only wipe her tears with her sleeves and leave slowly.
"Hello, who are you?" Bai Yifan looked at the woman in front of him gratefully, and at the same time he was ashamed, because the car accident in front of him was caused by me throwing things.
The woman didn't speak, just handed me a business card.
["Night Rose" Club Manager: Liu Hong]
Bai Yifan took the business card, looked at the contact information, and said to the woman in front of him: "Manager Liu, I will take full responsibility for all the accidents today." It's just that I don't have that much money on hand now, and when your vehicle maintenance report comes out, I will definitely compensate according to the price. β
"Haha..."Manager Liu tilted his head and looked at Bai Yifan, "Young man, then you have to be ready." β
"Don't worry, Manager Liu, I, Bai Yifan, am definitely not a shrunken turtle." With that, he made a fist gesture.
"That's good." Manager Liu looked at Bai Yifan meaningfully and nodded, "Then in three days, my people will contact you." β
"Okay."
Bai Yifan watched Manager Liu's BMW car leave, and his heart was filled with infinite sadness for the future.
Towards evening, he found a tavern, asked for two bottles of liquor, ordered a few side dishes, and spent the last money in his pocket. Glass by glass of white wine, my tears also slipped from the corners of my eyes under the catalysis of alcohol.
It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place. At this moment, Bai Yifan's money is gone, his people are gone, his face is gone, and when he gets home, he will be blamed by his father as before, "Why can't you get along with other girls?" Do you think you're amazing? "I can crush him half to death. But can he be blamed for this... Thinking that if Dad knew that he had caused an accident to someone, he would inevitably be furious again, and Bai Yifan's temples began to ache suddenly.
Today is Bai Yifan's twenty-fifth birthday, but he has never celebrated his birthday, just because his mother left him forever twenty-five years ago. "Maybe Li Jiao is right, I will only bring misfortune to others." Bai Yifan couldn't help but sigh again and again.
Thinking of this, he blindly drank stuffy wine, drunk and dreamed of death, and it was extremely easy to die in drunkenness.
I don't know what time it was at night, Bai Yifan stumbled out of the tavern, and rode a small electric donkey to the artificial lake in the suburbs. Lying on the grass, looking at the blue sky and breathing in the fresh air with the smell of grass, he suddenly felt that it should be quite pleasant to put on some radio.
He took out the stereo in his pocket and twisted the FM button, but the key did not move, and when he was about to restart the machine, he only heard a sharp and old voice coming from the speaker: "You are still in the mood to listen to the radio there!" β
Bai Yifan was startled and slammed the speaker on the grass.
"Hurry up and help the old man up!" Another violent voice came from the loudspeaker.
"I'm not sober!" , Bai Yifan twisted his face heavily, only to realize that he was not dreaming.
"Who are you! Are you talking to me? Bai Yifan copied a stone on the ground and shouted at the speaker.
"Yes, it's me. I am your ancestor. β
"I'm your ancestor!" He cursed, the stone was thrown off the rails, and the sound of the stereo was much more honest.
"Don't be impulsive, lad! I am indeed a wisp of remnant soul left by your wife and grandfather, and now I have cultivated independent self-awareness, and my Dharma name is "Yuankong". Boy, I've been waiting for you for a long time! β
"Wait for me?" Bai Yifan couldn't help but wonder, and what is the remnant soul of Mrs. and Grandpa, I looked at the pink sound illuminated by the full moon, but I didn't know that fate had quietly changed dramatically at this moment.
