prevailing westerlies

Sweet Tea is a well-known bar in the city. Its selling point is its "masks". People who come here must wear masks or cosplay as someone or something.Lu Yi is the bartender at the bar. He has been in Tiancha three years ago, but he was barely considered a rich second generation at that time. He just came to play around and got acquainted with the manager. That's when I really got the idea to do this.During the National Day holiday, he originally planned to work part-time in a bar and a convenience store. Unexpectedly, something happened to Fang Yanxi. She reunited with her boyfriend. She was so excited that she went directly to Europe for a trip, and gave Lu Yi a vacation by the way.

The owner of Tiancha is Luo Ying, an uncle in his 40s, currently single.When Lu Yi walked in from the work passage with a weak body and a strong will, he was wiping glasses at the bar counter, and saw the person coming speechless for a moment: "No, didn't you say you don't want to use it?"

"I'm afraid that my top card will not be available, and the store will encounter a business crisis."

"... What can you do when you come here? Bartending with one hand?"

Lu Yi took a lemon and weighed it nonchalantly: "Xiao Li and I cooperated, Xiao Li! You mix it today, and I'm in charge of the decoration." The decoration he was talking about was putting a small fruit slice on the cocktail glass at the end. , Xiao Li is actually older than Lu Yi, but he only came to Tiancha last year to work. Lu Yi was shamelessly acting as a senior. Xiao Li has a good temper and didn't care about him.

Luo Cherry said: "Stop messing around, just sit around and hurry up, hurry up and go home."

Lu Yi turned a deaf ear and went into the back kitchen to see how the fruit was being cleaned.Luo Cherry has nothing to do with him, so he can only let him go.To be honest, Lu Yi's coming to the store can indeed increase his income. This guy looks ordinary, but he has a pair of beautiful hands. At this time when everyone can't see his face, those hands are particularly eye-catching.

At 10:30 p.m., the bar officially opens.People with different purposes came in in twos and threes wearing bright masks or heavy makeup. Lu Yi sat on a high stool with one leg slightly bent and the other hanging down to press the ground, and casually glanced at the guests for no reason. Yes, he thought of He Yihan.In fact, I should bring that kid here to have fun, but I don't know if he will think the bar is messy.

Lu Yi didn't know what the so-called "good grades" looked like, but according to the head teacher, they were people who were different from him in every way.

A woman in a red dress walked towards the bar, and Lu Yi's thoughts were forced to stop.

The woman smiled slightly at him: "Little brother, I want to buy you a drink."

Lu Yi said apologetically, "Sorry, I still have to work."

"But I see that your left hand is injured, and you haven't mixed drinks, why don't you chat with me."

"Well, I'm cosplaying the mummy." Lu Yi said nonsense without changing his expression, "Mummy can't talk."

The woman in the red dress covered her mouth and smiled again: "You're so interesting." She asked Xiao Li to make two glasses of Mint Julep, gave one to Lu Yi, and left with the other in a playful manner.

Lu Yi lightly scratched the frost from the glass, feeling a little helpless. He liked the process of mixing wine very much. He would feel a sense of accomplishment if he adjusted it well, but he would face unexpected surprises if he adjusted it poorly. But he didn't like chatting with people very much.What's the point of getting acquainted all night, licking each other's wounds in the dark, and at dawn, everything is beaten back to its original shape.

Confiding and sexing with strangers made him feel uneasy.

Xiao Li noticed the situation on his side and couldn't help laughing. As a colleague, he could see that Lu Yi was longing for someone to show up to understand his rich inner world, but at the same time, he blocked all those who tried to get close. outside the safe range.There were countless girls and even boys who struck up a conversation with him in the bar, and he turned all the ambiguities into money transactions in a daze.

At two o'clock in the morning, sweet tea closes.Lu Yi went to the changing room to take off his work clothes and mask, and came out to say goodbye to Luo Cherry.Luo Ying stuffed him with two bags of high-calcium milk powder: "Get well sooner, sooner. It doesn't matter if you come or not, the store doesn't miss you." In the past half a year, Lu Yi has received a lot of care from him, and the words of thanks have become pale , he also lazily said: "I see. What did you give me, I am already old, and I still drink milk powder?"

"It's delicious." Luo Sakura vowed.

Lu Yi rode home on a small electric donkey, and was surprised to find that He Yihan was awake and reading in the living room.

"Aren't you working too hard?" Lu Xuehua whispered that he didn't understand the world of Xueba.

He Yihan put away the book, stood up, and also lowered his voice: "Just getting ready to sleep."

Tiptoed into the bedroom, Lu Yi was afraid of waking Lu Yunran, so he gestured and made a sound with airflow: [You--sleep-in-face--]

He Yihan lay down obediently against the wall, while Lu Yi washed up briefly and climbed onto the bed.There is only one set of quilts. There was a heavy rain yesterday, the temperature dropped sharply, and there was no warm air in the room, so it was very cold. Lu Yi thought that He Yihan's skin and tender flesh should not be frozen, but he really didn't. There is no solution to the ability to change the quilt out of thin air except guilt.

It would be great if Yuanyuan came back two years earlier.This thought flashed by, Lu Yi turned his head and whispered: [Is it cold? ]

He Yihan suddenly hugged him, and pressed half of his body over, as if snuggling into his arms.

[Hey...] Lu Yi was startled, and instinctively wanted to push away, but after thinking about it, he didn't move again, and swallowed the rest of the words.Forget it, he'll barely act as a humanoid heater for one night, although he feels that the other person's body is hotter.Rubbing He Yihan's hair in revenge, Lu Yi felt sorry for himself, when can he hug a delicate girl to sleep?

The more he thought about it, the more he became fascinated, and finally he suddenly said: [Xiaohan, let's go to your house to watch AV next time, so don't waste the big screen. ]

He Yihan: ...

Lu Yunran, who was woken up early and pretended to be sleeping and eavesdropping, couldn't pretend anymore: "Brother, you have no shame!"

Lu Yi:! ! !

He pulled up the quilt to wrap himself and He Yihan in it, typed a line on the phone with lightning speed, and showed it to He Yihan: Tell her that I fell asleep, no one talked just now! !

Stupid or not.He Yihan locked his phone, ignored him, and couldn't help laughing.Taking a deep breath, he smelled the complex aroma of wine on Lu Yi's body. He obviously shouldn't be able to bear it, but as long as it is related to this person, everything becomes cute.

Lu Yi didn't notice his small movements, but regretted that his image of being wise and majestic could no longer be preserved in his sister's heart. It was really sad.

He Yihan didn't want to keep bothering Dong Jing and Lu Yunran, so he only stayed for one night and went home the next morning.Lu Yi sacrificed his sleep time and sent him to the bus station.The two of them didn't wait long for the bus to arrive. Lu Yi patted him on the shoulder, and said in a big brother's tone: "Review well, see you at the beginning of school."

He Yihan let out an "um" and got on the bus without looking back.

The seven-day vacation passed quickly—at least for Lu Yi, he felt that he hadn't had enough idle time before he was forced to return to the campus cage.I only went to the sweet tea bar three times. Lu Yi adjusted his schedule in a rare way, holding hands with Father Sun. He didn't sleep in the morning and afternoon on the first day of school. Jiang Meilin claimed that he was possessed.She asked him to have dinner, and when the two walked out of the class, they saw He Yihan standing straight at the door.

Jiang Meilin was taken aback: "Hi."

Lu Yi: "Come down so fast. Is the second canteen okay?"

He Yihan: "Yes."

Jiang Meilin: "???"

Two canteens.

He Yihan ordered scrambled eggs with tomatoes, yams in honey sauce, and pot-packed pork, and moved half of them to Lu Yi's plate with ease.

Lu Yi: "Okay, okay, do you have enough for yourself?"

He Yihan: "Enough."

Jiang Meilin: "???"

Jiang Meilin: "Who can explain to me what happened? Do you two know each other well?" She always cared about Lu Yi's self-esteem, so she didn't dare to give him so many dishes.

In order to prevent the topic from going on indefinitely, Lu Yi cut off the head and tail: "Didn't we go swimming together?"

"I remember you refused at that time." Jiang Meilin couldn't tolerate any deception.

Lu Yi waved his crippled hand: "A man's heart can change as soon as it is said."

"..." Jiang Meilin gave up on him, and stared at He Yihan with a solemn expression.

He Yihan was eating seriously and didn't look at her.

After such a situation gradually became routine, she finally couldn't take it anymore, and secretly sent a note to Lu Yi during the evening self-study: [Tell the truth, what is the relationship between you and that He Yihan!I even wonder if he was after you or me! ]

When the note was passed, Jiang Meilin suddenly recalled, uh, He Yihan didn't seem to have chased her.

Lu Yi really didn't want people to know that he couldn't even recognize his friends who played so well when he was a child, but it seemed outrageous to always hide it from Jiang Meilin, and it eased his embarrassment to put it on the pen.In a few words, he explained clearly how the two reunited.

Jiang Meilin read the note sent back: "..."

I always feel that things are not so simple. He Yihan can't eat by himself, why does he always pull Lu Yi, that guy has a gloomy little boy face every day, and he doesn't look like a good person.

...Why do these words sound familiar?Jiang Meilin fell into deep thought. How should I put it, her feelings for Lu Yi are very complicated, including gratitude, admiration, love, and distress.In the class, she actually has many classmates who play well, because after getting along for a long time, everyone will find that she is not so timid on the surface, but active and interesting in her heart.Lu Yi is actually not as violent and ostentatious as he appears on the surface, but his glorious record of "retiring from the enemy school with honor" is so scary that no one dares to pry into his heart.

Jiang Meilin was rescued by him, so she naturally knew what he was like, and she was willing to abandon her little sister and spend more time with him. Except for certain things restricted by gender, such as going to the bathroom, she felt that she had done enough and sincerely believed that I am Lu Yi's best friend of the same age, but who would have thought that He Yihan would come out halfway?Jiang Meilin felt that her status had been impacted and threatened, and she was keenly aware of those things that Lu Yi did not want to disclose to her—his family, his difficulties, he could confide to He Yihan without any obstacles .

Maybe he hasn't said it yet, but when he wants to say it, he won't choose himself again.Jiang Meilin was very sad, she didn't want to share Lu Yi's friendship with anyone, but... damn it!This is simply hell mode, heaven + bamboo horse, how could she beat it?Not to mention that the other party also crushed her in terms of IQ.After evening self-study, Jiang Meilin stood in front of the monthly exam results list posted in the corridor, glaring fiercely at the No.1 position, wishing to burn a hole in his eyes.
