like a dog

After Han Xun glanced around in the ambiguous light of Xiaoduchuan, he went straight to a small table near the small platform.He opened the sofa chair and unceremoniously sat down opposite Zheng Zhuo, Yu Qi hesitated and whispered hello to Zheng Zhuo before sitting down next to Han Xun.

"Aren't there still two seats left?" Han Xun vacated a seat while feeling disgusted.

"When my brother comes to sit, it's not enough for me to sit." Yu Qi said with a blushing face.

Zheng Zhuo's eyes widened from the moment Han Xun sat down, staring at Han Xun for a while, and then at Yu Qi for a while, holding the wine glass and drinking it, either putting it down or not, before choking out a sentence: "Lin Xun, you suck people!" Energetic?"

Han Xun rolled his eyes, and asked Yu Qi incredulously, "Is that how I look like him?"

Yu Qi nodded honestly, seeing that Han Xun's brows were getting tighter and tighter, he waved his hands hurriedly and said, "Just a little bit, just a little bit like it."

Zheng Zhuo was drunk and dizzy, and the small stage was singing high-pitched, while Han Xun and Yu Qi were talking in low voices, as if they were floating in the sky.Zheng Zhuo held the wine glass and moved forward: "Lin Xun, what are you talking about? Don't just talk to your little boyfriend! It's too noisy, I can't hear you!"

Han Xun retreated from the smell of alcohol, and handed over the mess to Yu Qi: "You come here."

Yu Qi heard Zheng Zhuo yell at himself about his little boyfriend, his face turned red like fried shrimp, and he said incoherently: "I, I...not..."

"Remainder."

Yu Qi was overly nervous, as if someone was calling his name in class, he stood up reflexively and called out.When he saw the person standing in front of him clearly, his eyes turned red and he rushed over.

"elder brother!"

Hearing the sound, Zheng Zhuo raised his head and saw Lin Xun coming again. He couldn't help but gasped, pulled his face hard, and said incredulously, "I'm drunk? I'm drunk...I'm drunk." He murmured Then, as if confirming a fact, he slammed his face on the table and left alone, muttering.

Although Lin Xun made preparations, he was still thrown by Yu Qi.Yu Qi hugged him tightly, hugged his neck and yelled again, tickling his neck dully.Lin Xun originally planned to harden his heart and beat him, but he couldn't help but rubbed his head, and said softly, "Why did you come here?"

"I'm here to look for you." Yu Qicai let go, stood in front of Lin Xun and said cautiously, "Brother, when did you come back from abroad and why didn't you come back? My dad has always wanted to see you."

"That's your home, not mine." Lin Xun looked down at Yu Qi, "This is not the place for you, you're too young." He glanced at Han Xun behind Yu Qi, his eyes slightly changed Leng said in a deep voice, "Did you bring him here?"

"You know me?" Han Xun looked at Lin Xun with his pockets in his pocket, and only after looking at his face did he believe that there are really strangers with similar looks in this world.The other party's brows and eyes are softer than his, but softness does not mean gentleness.There was a sense of alienation in his eyes, as if some kind of dead object was buried, breathing coldly.

"I've heard of it." Lin Xun replied indifferently.Lin You mentioned to him once that Han Zheng's son looked like him.I heard that I had a girlfriend in college and didn't take protective measures.The other party came to the door with a pregnancy test stick and asked Han Zheng for an explanation.Han Zheng was very straightforward, saying that he would be responsible and get married when she gave birth to a child.A few months later, the woman gave birth to Han Xun, but died of hemorrhage after the operation.

Whether it was accidental or man-made, no one knows.

Lin Xun said: "Take him back, and send him back to Qingying tomorrow."

"Why should I listen to you?" Han Xun crossed his arms and said unceremoniously, "Who are you, if you ask me to take him away, I have to do so?"

Lin Xun said calmly, "I am Lin Xun."

Han Xun was choked, his anger rose, and he took a step closer to Lin Xun with cold eyes.Yu Qi hurriedly blocked him: "Han Xun, what are you doing!" Han Xun threw away his hand impatiently, glanced at Lin Xun, said "I'll wait for you at the door" and left.

Yu Qi glanced at Han Xun's back anxiously, and whispered to Lin Xun, "Brother, are you angry with me?" He lowered his head and sniffed before looking at Lin Xun again: "Are you No... because I don't want to go back? I'm going to college this year, so I won't stay in the store. If you don't want to see me, I can stay at school and not go home during the winter vacation. You should meet him once, no need Leave me alone..."

Yu Qi choked up more and more as he spoke, wiping tears from his red eyes.Lin Xun took the paper on the table to wipe his tears, Zheng Zhuo was still lying on the table in a daze, holding a beer bottle and hiccupping, pretending to be deep in the office every day, peeling his honest and serious skin, he was as soft as a Like beach mud.

"Fool, you call me brother, why would I ignore you." Lin Xun whispered, he was not very good at comforting people, so he could only do it based on the feeling in his memory, "It's none of your business, it's I can't go to see him for the time being." Lin Xun touched Yu Qi's cheek, saw his bewildered look, smiled and said, "But I can go soon, you go back with your friend first, your father is not easy to fool Those who are in trouble, go back to Qingying as soon as possible, and let him see that you will be scolded again."

Yu Qi whispered, "Uncle Lin told you everything?"

"Well, he told me all about it."

Lin Xun rubbed Yu Qi's hair, talked to him a few more words, and saw that the smile on his face gradually brightened again, before sending him to the door.Han Xun stood at the stairs and waited. When he saw Yu Qi coming out, he went downstairs. Yu Qi followed behind, reluctantly looking back while going down the stairs.

"Brother, will you come back this year?"

Yu Qi stood at the corner and looked up at Lin Xun and shouted, Lin Xun nodded at the stairs.Yu Qi felt relieved, and quickly caught up with Han Xun.

"Relaxed?" Han Xun saw that there were tears in the corners of Yu Qi's eyes, but there was a smile on his mouth, and he couldn't help being annoyed and amused, "Why don't you just wait for your brother to come out, anyway, he won't be here for long."

"Why?" Yu Qi looked at Han Xun in a daze.

"Didn't you notice just now? People are going out one after another." Han Xun pointed to another group of people who passed by him, "I asked, someone booked the place tonight, and now there are tables one by one Qing people, all bills are free, and it is estimated that it will soon be cleared to your brother's table."

Yu Qi couldn't help but look upstairs, Han Xun dragged him out: "Don't look, I'll go back right after the sensationalism is over, you're not tired and I'm tired too. Let's go, there's a video game city ahead, let's go play two rounds. "

"But……"

Before the remaining period was over, Han Xun impatiently dragged him away.

Lin Xun sat down opposite Zheng Zhuo.There are three cups on the table, one by Zheng Zhuo's hand, one diagonally opposite, and one in front of him.Only the one in front of him was holding lemonade.

Lin Xun took a sip from the cup, and Zheng Zhuocai raised his head from the table.He shook his head, looked at Lin Xun who was motionless opposite him, propped his chin on the table and said, "Lin Xun?"

Lin Xun responded, "Yes."

Zheng Zhuo hiccupped, squinted his eyes and looked at him for a long time, then shook his index finger and said, "No, no...you are not Lin Xun, you are not..."

Lin Xun was leaning on the sofa chair, Zheng Zhuo was giggling behind black-rimmed glasses, alcohol made his eyes red.Lin Xun felt that he should also laugh at this time, like a normal person, laughing when his friends laughed.But he laughed too much at Yu Qi just now, he couldn't feel it for a while, so he could only drink another sip of lemonade in silence.

"I'm not Lin Xun, so who am I?"

Lin Xun put down his glass and looked at the drunken Zheng Zhuo with his forehead resting on his forehead.He shouldn't have come.When answering the phone, their eagerness infected him, making him delusional to think that there would be a place for him in the bustle.

But the reality is, he can't fit in.Even if you step in, it's out of place.

"No, it's just...not right," Zheng Zhuo waved his hands in front of Lin Xun, as if stroking a transparent and invisible shell. He frowned inexplicably, and gestured to Lin Xun as if he had suddenly realized, " Matryoshka! Do you know Matryoshka? It looks like the outside, but the inside is wrong, understand?"

Zheng Zhuo closed his eyes and swayed the empty wine glass by his ears, as if he was listening carefully to the sound of nested dolls colliding with each other. He raised his head and smiled at Lin Xun: "It's just missing, have you noticed?"

Lin Xun stood up slowly, and he realized that it was indeed missing.The songs on the small stage were still singing, and the lights were turning slowly, but Xiaoduchuan was gradually empty.He didn't pay attention to people moving around at first, but after hearing Zheng Zhuoyi's words, he noticed that people were not coming and going, they were only leaving, no one was coming in.

Lin Xun looked around, and there were only three or two tables left around. Du Chuan was standing in front of one of the tables, leaning over and talking to the guests. When he looked up, he caught sight of Lin Xun and motioned him to sit down with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Fu Rui came from behind Xiao Duchuan, took a sip of the empty beer on the table, and smiled at Lin Xun, "Why are you standing here? Sit down."

Fu Rui pressed Lin Xun's shoulder and told him to sit down, Lin Xun frowned and looked at Fu Rui and said, "Fu Rui..."

"Ah, it's okay. I booked a venue and let them all go. The card Guan Shan gave is rarely used once, and it will be covered with dust." Fu Rui explained with a smile, "It's a lot of money, and it's time to pay for it." At that time, he has to ask me to charge interest again. But the money can’t be spent, otherwise what if someone interrupts our conversation? That would be annoying.”

Lin Xun looked into Fu Rui's eyes in disbelief.Fu Rui never took the initiative to mention Guan Shan in front of him, never.

The last table other than them left.The music on the small stage stopped abruptly, and the stillness of the floating lights made Lin Xun's spine shiver. He stood up on the sofa, Fu Rui pressed his shoulder firmly, looked down at him, and paused every word with a smile: " do not move."

Fu Rui waved at Du Chuan, pointed to Zheng Zhuo who was on the table and said, "I'll leave it to you, and I'll calculate the labor fee with you later!"

Shirley was passing by on high heels, glanced at Zheng Zhuo, and gestured to Du Chuan behind him: "I'll come." Then he raised the 1.8-meter Zheng Zhuo eagle like a chick with no expression on his face. Dragging a light sack like walking towards the door of Xiaoduchuan.

Du Chuan took it easy, threw a bunch of keys to Fu Rui, waved his hands and said, "Remember to lock the door when you're done, and you'll be credited for missing a melon seed."

Fu Rui took the key, shook the key chain with a smile and said, "Understood, I will pay ten for one less."

It was finally quiet, and there were only the two of them left in Xiaoduchuan.

As soon as Du Chuan left, Fu Rui took out a bottle of Hongfang from the bar. He came back with an ice bucket and a wine bottle, and said with a long breath, "It's finally clean."

The lights circulated silently in Xiaoduchuan, and the excitement dissipated so quickly, as if it never existed.Without the sound of music and the noise of people, the bar is as cold as a silent film with only colors left.

Fu Rui sat down opposite Lin Xun, poured the lemonade in his glass, poured half a glass of whiskey for him, and poured half a glass for himself.Lin Xun didn't say a word, or rather, he couldn't speak, something seemed to be blocked in his throat, which made his throat hurt.

Fu Rui lowered his head and poured the wine, as if on a whim, and told Lin Xun what happened in Xinyang before.

"Lin Xun, do you still remember that we were in Wuchuan at that time, and I lived in Lao Jin's loft. One night you shared a bed with me, and you said your name was Lin Xun, and asked me what my name was. I Say my name is Fu Rui."

Fu Rui put ice cubes in the cup, the light shone on his face, and the pink light was like scarlet.Lin Xun looked at him quietly, but the hands under the table trembled uncontrollably.

"At that time I asked you if you had any secrets, and you said you didn't." Fu Rui pushed a glass of whiskey in front of Lin Xun, the ice cubes collided with each other and melted very slowly in the cold wine, Fu Rui smiled more than in the wine glass The ice was still cold, “You have been lying to me since then.”

Lin Xun looked down at the wine in front of him. It swayed around in small waves, exuding a rich and mellow aroma.But he only saw its rot.Rotting out from the depths of the ground, the cracked shell fell off mottledly, and a shriveled and smelly torso fell out. All the words that could not and could not be spoken were carved on the bones.

Fu Rui propped his chin and knocked on the table, picked up the wine glass and put it under his nose to sniff, and said with a smile: "I still can't smell it." He shook the wine glass, looked at the floating ice and said, "But at that time you also Promise me that you will exchange secrets with me."

Fu Rui put the wine glass back on the table, reached out and turned the two glasses of wine: "Now, tell me what happened the day Guan Shan disappeared."

"Don't tell me you forgot." Fu Rui looked at the silent Lin Xun, as if looking at a demon that had been dormant for many years, "Han Zixun, you are the last person to see him."
