Amorous Short Stories

Yashi Club, Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Ten o'clock at night.

"Ah, look who this is." As soon as Yan Wu entered the door, he heard the groom's teasing voice. Yan Wu couldn't help but curled his lips and walked to the bar.

"Welcome back, long time no see, gin and tonic?" the groom looked at Yan Wu with his chin in his hand.

"Tequila." Yan Wu took out his cigarette, "I need to meet someone later."

"Ha, do you still drink strong alcohol when you see people?" The bridegroom was annoyed, "You don't want to see him?"

Yan Wu raised his eyebrows helplessly.

The groom handed over a glass of wine: "How is China? Is it fun?"

Seeing the expectant look on the groom's face, Yan Wu thought about it carefully, and nodded seriously: "Not bad."

The groom pouted in dissatisfaction, complaining that Yan Wu was too perfunctory, and then suddenly reacted: "Ah! Mission, did you fail? I heard that someone failed the first mission, could it be you?" Then he denied himself: "Impossible, impossible, how could you, then..."

"It's me." Yan Wu touched his pocket for a long time but couldn't find his own lighter. Thinking that it might be with Ding Qing, he reached out to the groom: "Can I borrow a lighter?"

The groom knocked off Yan Wu's hand, very serious: "Huo what, Huo, you failed the first time! Tell the truth, have you been kicked?"

Yan Wu tilted his head to look at the groom, feeling that he had effectively narrowed down the scope of the groom's activities in China.

The bridegroom obviously didn't have Yan Wu's easy going, and was a little anxious: "You don't have any experience in stragglers. Do you know how many people are waiting to see your jokes? Do you still want to hang out here? Stop laughing."

Are you laughing?Yan Wu didn't know.Sighing, he explained patiently: "Someone made a mistake, and someone has to do it."

The groom looked at Yan Wu suspiciously.

————————————————————————————————————————

This reminded Yan Wu of the scene he explained to the "flower seller".

The "Flowerman" is an Irishman, only about 1.7 meters long, with an apron on the outside of ordinary overalls, with sleeves, short and thin, with a slightly hunched back, a pair of eagle eyes embedded in a dry and sharp face, almost shining Shenghui looks like he is about 50 years old. When watering the flowers, his hands don't shake at all. Whether he is talking or not, the corners of his mouth are habitually twitched, showing a bad temper.Before speaking, always stare at the other person for a few seconds, trying to get attention, exert a sense of oppression, and then speak slowly, and always start with "You know...", fill in with "Iusedto...", "Nobody ……"Finish.

For example, when negotiating with Yan Wu.

Yan Wu lied that he met someone who came to assassinate him during the mission. The other party might have dropped the cigars he sent, and he had already left the country, so the mission failed.As for who that person is, due to the rules, I can't say, but I am following him, and I will kill him if I find him.

The "flower seller" stopped watering, turned around, and stared at Yan Wu.After staring at it for a few seconds, he said, "You know, this is your first mission, and you know what it means to fail the first time. Even if you used to fight, it's not the same rule now. I've encountered it before. There are a lot of hard bones that came down from the battlefield, and not many survived. You are lucky, and I will give you another chance, but remember, the reputation you have earned in Africa and the Middle East is only worth this much Once. No one can be self-righteous with me."

After Yan Wu listened carefully to this stylized passage, he almost wanted to laugh. He looked around at the two or three bodyguards who were armed with live ammunition. Their hands began to reach into their pockets. The first thought was how could this flower shop be sold. Hua, after thinking about it, she felt that her vacation was too long and she had to calm down, so she nodded solemnly.

————————————————————————————————————————

At this moment, the groom is temporarily convinced of this explanation, and is still persuading Yan Wunu to work hard: "Can't you take care of your own affairs?"

Yan Wu finally borrowed the fire: "One person, there is no need to be too serious. Isn't it good to order casually?"

The groom rolled his eyes: "It's because of your attitude that you don't even have a long-term lover. You see, you have nothing to do but come to my place to drink. Look at that Cuban, what's his name, Cohiba, there are lovers everywhere! He is always taken care of wherever he goes, and he never has to stay in a hotel. By the way, why is he called Cohiba, he is so stupid."

Yan Wu laughed and took a deep breath: "Cohiba, a Cuban cigar."

Every time the groom finished his work, he would return to Yan Wu's side, chatting with each other.

Yan Wu puffed out his cigarette and squinted his eyes at the groom: "The one you said last time, the story about you being sixteen and the other sixteen. Let's listen to it."

The groom smiled strangely: "Hey—don't you want to hear it?" Then he poured himself a glass of wine: "Why, I'm sixteen and he's almost finished talking. We were classmates in high school. Welcome, the whole class likes me. Seriously, don’t laugh. You know it now. I’m a mixed race. I’m good-looking, but I’m conspicuous. He’s not good, he’s dark, stupid, and stubborn. Old He came to me and asked me to go out with him to play ball and go to cram school. I am also a canary that makes people happy to raise. Whichever round is decided by me, it will not be his turn. Stupid, let him be beaten to death .”

Yan Wu was stunned for a moment, looking at the groom, who was drinking wine with a normal face, put down the glass after drinking, and stared at the unmelted ice cubes in the glass.

"Didn't you escape?" Yan Wu felt that the groom didn't seem like someone who would just sit and die.

"Escaped, he died in the Czech Republic. We were feeding the pigeons at the time. There was a red dot between the eyebrows, and it collapsed all of a sudden, and he didn't even twitch. In the movie, it was found that the red dot could jump over to save people. It’s fart. Hehe, hey, do you know that the back of the head is not only red but also yellow, it seems to be yellow, there are too many red ones, I can’t remember clearly. Of course you know what I’m asking.”

Yan Wu didn't respond, and shot him between the eyebrows from a long distance, causing a penetrating injury, and his brainstem probably shattered.I have never been good at long-distance sniping, but I have heard many stories about real long-distance sniper masters. Poker often praises some star shooters.Yan Wu began to regret asking this story, because he didn't know what to say.The groom in front of him just drank his wine slowly, with his head down, staring at the ice.

Until a man sat down and broke their silence.

"Long time no see." The man greeted with a smile.

"Ah!" The groom seemed to wake up suddenly, "So handsome! Are you Wu's friend? Let me introduce you soon." He put his hands shyly on his chest.

What is your name, Ah Wu? Yan Wu slandered, pointing to the groom: "The owner of the bar, call him the groom."

Pointing to the man: "Nian Yao." After thinking for a while, he added: "The Yan family."

The groom turned a deaf ear to it, Nian Yao was smiling and took the groom's hand, and kissed lightly on the back of the hand. The groom covered his face, looking as if he had been teased, and asked the visitor calmly, "What are you drinking?"

Nian Yao looked at him: "What do you recommend?"

The groom clapped his hands: "Gin and Tonic?"

Nian Yao still had a smile on his face, not sure if he was really in a good mood or just out of habit: "Then, Long Island Iced Tea."

The groom winked and went to prepare, leaving Yan Wu and Nian Yao behind, guessing that Nian Yao was probably the person Yan Wu was waiting for tonight.

Nian Yao turned his head and stared intently at Yan Wu, only watching without speaking.

Yan Wu is used to it.When Nian Yao meets people and dogs, he sees everyone with affection every day, his face is full of spring breeze, and his arms are full of spring water. He is an Iranian. He has been with the Yan family since he was a child. When he is not on the battlefield, he wears a suit and has clean hair and beard , like an Arabian prince.It was Yan Wu's contact with Yan's family. Yan Wu had only entered Yan's house two or three times, and spent the rest of the time fighting in various places. Nian Yao was responsible for telling Yan Wu where to go and responsible for Yan Wu's work report.

————————————————————————————————————————

Nian Yao appeared here because Yan Wu answered the phone in the afternoon.

Yan Wu was extremely wary and resistant to the sound of the Yan family's special mobile phone, so he picked it up as soon as it rang.

"Yes."

"it's me."

"Yes."

"Nian Yao will go there tonight."

"clear."

"You are now under the name of 'flower seller' in Chiang Mai?"

"Yes."

"Okay, you don't need to take action on the business side in the future."

"Ah."

"Nian Yao asked you to discuss the status of foreign aid."

"Ah."

The phone hangs up.

————————————————————————————————————————

Nian Yao finally remained silent but Yan Wu said, "Okay, let me talk first."

Yan Wu continued to drink, as if he didn't hear.

"There is life in Mukalla. The Baath Party has been active there for a long time. We have been trying to finish them off. There are still a few points left. I want you to take charge of one. The attack must be launched at the same time as the signal. Corey is dead. You You have to go over there and hit it."

Yan Wu stopped drinking for a while, thought of Corey, and then forgot about it: "Scatter?"

"One is the palace of the temporary regime. After being beaten, they temporarily retreated there. The ghost will tell you the specific situation after you go there."

"when to go?"

"Tomorrow afternoon. You can still enjoy yourself tonight." Nian Yao smiled teasingly.

"understood."

Nian Yao paused, touched his nose, and thought about his words: "You will not be on the final action list. You also know that the Yan family is rectifying NT. If you show up too much, someone will want you to be promoted. You can't go up, so..."

Yan Wu nodded indifferently.

The bridegroom guessed that the business was almost over, so he walked over to serve the wine.Nian Yao beamed with joy, and smiled at the groom, who smiled back, as if they were married couples reunited after thousands of years.

Then Nian Yao took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

"Oh, so fast, are you in a hurry to leave?" the groom asked him.

"Well, I have a date with a beautiful woman. Unless the boss is willing to pay me some favors?" Nian Yao imitated the groom's chin and looked at him.

"Oh, it's annoying, I have to open the shop all night." The groom pretended to be shy and shook his hands.

Yan Wu couldn't help but rolled his eyes, neither of them had that intention and insisted on flirting symbolically, neither of them took the other seriously and pretended to be interested, what were they trying to do?why?What's the trouble?

"It's a pity, then..." Nian Yao turned to look at Yan Wu, and Yan Wu turned to look at Nian Yao.

Nian Yao's words were stopped by Yan Wu's eyes, he put on a professional smile, and laughed twice: "Oh, it's really murderous to be serious."

Yan Wu turned his head and didn't answer.This is the difference between administration and technology.Yan Wushu has specializations, such as his short-term close combat, close kills, planning tough battles, sneaking into stealth battles, and applying pressure with his eyes, he can almost be said to be a master of the middle class.But Yan Wu also knew clearly that he cultivated the way of tactics, he was a general, not a handsome talent.But even so, it doesn't matter, after all, Shuaicai has been working hard for many years, and he has never seen many of them.

After Nian Yao left, the groom leaned over again: "Wow, to be reasonable, he is really handsome. Where is he from?"

"Iranian."

"Oh~ Then is he very strong?" The groom gave him a look.

"How would I know?" Yan Wu was simply baffled.

"I'll let you guess, it's boring."

"Why don't you like it?"

"Tch, what's the matter with looking at a good-looking one more, so you like it? How can it be so easy to like others." The groom rolled his eyes in disdain.

Yan Wu's throat suddenly blocked, and he felt that this conversation was a bit familiar.Remembering that I was going to leave tomorrow afternoon, I decided to relax tonight, so I stood up and sat in the middle of the bar from a remote place. The groom saw it and smiled.

Yan Wu sat for a while, a woman approached and sat beside Yan Wu.

Yan Wu turned to look at her, and first judged whether it was a transaction.

No.

The woman is tall and slender, with a close-fitting blue dress, short hair, evening makeup, and fragrant makeup.After ordering Genbaoheng Mojito, he smiled and looked at Yan Wu.Yan Wu laughed: "I guess, Manhattan?"

The woman exhaled smoke and smiled ambiguously: "You guessed wrong, guess again."

Yan Wu turned around and faced her: "Metropolis?"

"New York. Say it too, and then guess."

"Macau. Margaret?"

"Lizz. Wrong."

"McGregor. Rum." Final blow.

The woman smiled and said nothing, Yan Wu turned to the groom: "A glass of rum, for this Miss Leeds from New York."

"Give this Mr. McGregor from Macau a drink too."

The groom looked at the two of them flirting speechlessly, and felt that apart from the difference in language, there was no difference between him and Nian Yao. Yan Wu smiled happily, and he probably had to change places tonight.When Yan Wu is flirting with others, he will suddenly turn on the switch of being eloquent, and his face will become richer.But in fact, this person usually doesn't like to talk at all, he is a silent person, it will be difficult to chat with him, because he is actually too lazy to say nice things.He is completely indifferent to strangers approaching with good intentions or malice, and he will not even give others a look. When he is serious, he feels very oppressive. He never talks nonsense, which is very suitable for his identity, and it is an organization that is extremely dependent on By.Either it is a look of indifference, or it is fierce at work, and there is no way to fall in love, no wonder there is no lover.Hey, why is your face suddenly so ugly again?

While Yan Wu was drinking, he heard someone commenting behind him: "Didn't you say that the road between Xi Caidong and Tape was bought and repaired? Why don't you go now?"

"Yes, the buyer has withdrawn the order."

"I've already paid more than half of it. If you withdraw now, he won't get anything."

"Who knows, maybe I don't want to come here."

Yan Wu has been drinking tasteless.

The Ding family wants to enter Southeast Asia.The Ding family does not enter Southeast Asia.The head of the Ding family doesn't look like someone who will give up on the plan. Is it the time when the head of the Ding family can't take care of the plan and the territory?

So, is it started?

"Let's go now?" The woman took Yan Wu's arm.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I have something else to do." Yan Wu suddenly lost his mood and wanted to get drunk.

With anger, the woman raised her hand to overturn the wine invited by Yan Wu, got up and left without hesitation.

Yan Wu continued to drink.

He feels that there is no difference between himself and Ding Qing, just like himself and Lizz, if he likes him, he will show it, it will ignite at a touch, and he will be happy when he touches it, and the joy will be unrestrained.Like Salinger said, love is wanting to touch but then withdrawing.According to this theory, they should not love each other.While killing time with Ding Qing, Yan Wu plotted the murder without feeling guilty from beginning to end.Then you should keep it like that, why bother to be full of anxiety like now, knowing that you don't care about your own business, knowing that you can't do anything.

Because of what?Is it the guilt of seeing a person heading towards pain?Do you miss his original appearance more?Or do you just miss the relaxed self at that time?Is it like a meteor that has accompanied me has fallen to the ground, and I want to witness the death of the light?

I shouldn't, I shouldn't like him that much, it's impossible.

Ding Qing.

Yan Wu pulled the name out of his mind, and his whole body was quickly electrified, and his fingertips were slightly numb.

Had to push him back.

Don't do unnecessary things.

Smart people don't need to compete.

Now, drink first.
