implication

Only Jiang Ze and Shui Xin were left in the front hall of the bar.Jiang Ze put down the towel for wiping the cup in his hand, lowered his head and folded the towel neatly.Shui Xin was still standing there looking at the direction where Ning Fei disappeared. When Jiang Ze finished folding the towel and looked up, Shui Xin was still standing motionless. He couldn't stand it anymore and asked Shui Xin, "Why are you doing this?"

Shui Xin turned his back to him, Jiang Ze couldn't see Shui Xin's expression, but saw Shui Xin's shoulders slightly shrugged, after a while Shui Xin turned around and asked Jiang Ze with a smile, "What did you say?" Woolen cloth."

Jiang Ze looked at Shui Xin's smiling face, and remembered his slightly shrugged shoulders just now, knowing that he must have spent a lot of effort to restrain his emotions.Jiang Ze took the wine bottle and poured a small glass of base wine into the shaker. He was going to mix a glass of wine for Shui Xin.Shui Xin doesn't like the way Jiang Ze keeps silent. His demeanor makes Shui Xin feel ashamed of being naked and wearing transparent gauze, which makes his cover-up look ridiculous, as if he didn't have to choose the first place in the past. The feeling of being asked to wear such nasty clothes by a guest for the first time.

But right now, Shui Xin doesn't want to be alone. When he is alone, the coldness of Chuchun will calm his heart again. He wants to be accompanied by someone. It's better not to be alone.Shui Xin sat back on the swivel chair at the bar again, but this time when half of her buttocks just touched the seat, Ning Fei, who rushed in from the front door, grabbed the collar and fell to the ground.

When Jiang Ze heard the dull sound of Shui Xin's body being slammed to the ground, he dropped the wine bottle in his hand and turned over from the bar, pressing on the countertop, "Ning Fei, what are you doing?! Let Shui Xin go!"

Ning Fei ignored Jiang Ze's roar behind him, he just straddled Shui Xin and grabbed Shui Xin's collar and glared at him and asked, "Is it you?"

Shui Xin's back hurt from the fall, his chest shook and his head hummed. He coughed twice and waited for the echo of the impact in his body to stop before he raised his head and asked Ning Fei, "What?"

"Did you send the text message?!" Ning Fei grabbed Shui Xin's collar and shook it back and forth twice, Shui Xin only felt dizzy from being shaken.Jiang Ze, who turned over, saw Ning Fei rushing forward to grab Ning Fei's arm, but was pushed to the ground by Ning Fei's backhand.Ning Fei pushed Jiang Ze away, turned around and continued to grab Shui Xin by the collar and questioned, "Quickly tell me, is it you?"

Shui Xin stared blankly at Ning Fei's angry look for a while, then suddenly laughed.Ning Fei was a little confused by his laughter.Shui Xin looked at Ning Fei after laughing and said, "It's him, right?"

Ning Fei avoided Shui Xin's stare at her.

"I know it's him, you've always been obsessed with the person you keep in your heart." Ning Fei didn't answer, and Shui Xin provoked him deliberately, "If I say I did it, what will you do?"

Ning Fei pinched the beating pulse on both sides of Shui Xin's jaw, "Kill you!"

Jiang Ze got up anxiously when he heard Ning Fei say this, "Ning Fei! Although I don't know what you are talking about, Shui Xin has been with me since you left, and he has never taken How could it be that he sent you the bullshit text message you said!"

Ning Fei turned his head to look at Jiang Ze who was rushing over to hug her back and tried to pull her away. She seemed to wake up suddenly, and let go of the hand that was pinching Shui Xin's neck, but she didn't turn her head to look at him.Shui Xin coughed twice and said, "It really is him. Otherwise, why would you be so impulsive, you have no judgment at all."

"So what if it's him?!" Ning Fei turned around and glared at Shui Xin, "You'd better not have any thoughts about him." After speaking, he shook his shoulders, shook off Jiang Ze's hand clasping his shoulders, and rode on Shui Xin's shoulders. Ning Fei stood up and walked away without looking back.

Jiang Ze reached out to help Shui Xin up, but Shui Xin blocked it and just sat on the ground watching Ning Fei leave angrily.

"Why do you want to do this?" Jiang Ze asked Shui Xin what he had asked earlier, but this time his tone was slightly different, with the determination to ask Shui Xin to answer.

Shui Xin didn't hide it in front of Jiang Ze either. It would be ridiculous for him to hide it in such a mess now, "Because of jealousy."

Jiang Ze looked at Shui Xin, "Are you jealous because of Ning Fei?"

"Not exactly." Shui Xin stood up on his own, and patted the ashes on his palms, "I'm a little jealous of those who are protected and live a good life. Jealous of the kind of people who are cherished. Look at him, obviously But it’s still naive.”

There are only people who are cherished in this world, and even when they grow up, they can't get rid of their childishness.

"What am I doing all the time?"

Jiang Ze glanced at Shui Xin who asked this question, and lowered his head, not daring to recall their scene back then.At that time, Jiang Ze was working hard to make a living, drilling the construction site during the day, cleaning dishes in the restaurant at night, and Ning Fei was already sending Shui Xin to various high-end and low-end hotels, and then came out to meet and nodded with a smile Lots of cash in there.At that time, Jiang Ze was still a little envious when he saw Shui Xin counting a lot of banknotes, and then took out a few for Ning Fei.

To talk about them, there is really nothing else to describe except bitter words.At night, when his shoulders were sore from washing the dishes, Jiang Ze raised his arms and raised his neck and sighed. This was the only time he was lazy in a day.During this period of laziness, Jiang Ze also compared, among the three of them, who is suffering more?Thinking of Shui Xin smiling and pointing at the banknotes, and Ning Fei taking the money from Shui Xin effortlessly, Jiang Ze felt that he was the one who suffered the most, because he was the only one who worked hard, and he was not as good as Shui Xin, who was sweet and coaxed. People can't compare to Ning Fei's fist, so only I do hard work.But later, he felt sorry for Shui Xin even more, because he felt that Shui Xin was more bitter.

Once, when delivering leftovers from a restaurant to them in the middle of the night, Jiang Ze accidentally saw Shui Xin hiding in the toilet and rubbing medicine on himself while wiping away tears.At that time, even the door of the toilet was broken, and the lock inside could not be locked.When Jiang Ze came over with the uneaten leftovers from the guests’ table in a plastic bag, he saw Ning Fei who was exhausted and collapsed on the sofa as soon as he entered the door. Ning Fei covered her with a blanket, and as soon as she turned around, she saw the light emerging from the crack in the toilet door.

At this moment, the wooden door of the toilet opened slightly with a squeak, and Ning Fei, who was lying on the bed, turned over, with his back facing outwards and inwards.Jiang Ze didn't care about Ning Fei's turning over, because he saw Shui Xin in the toilet, his clothes were half open, his back was facing the door, just showing half of his shoulders, and Shui Xin in the door was holding a tube of ointment and twisting his face Want to apply medicine to the welts on my back.It was the first time Jiang Ze saw Shui Xin's body. The welt marks on his shoulders were new, with bright red marks on Shui Xin's fair skin, like a drop of red ink falling from the tip of a brush on rice paper A plum blossom bloomed on it.

He stared blankly at Shui Xin struggling to apply the medicine. When the ointment on his fingertips was covered with red marks, Shui Xin closed his eyes and took a breath. Yes, and when Shui Xin opened his eyes again, the tears in his eyes were illuminated by the light, making his eyes dim and flickering.

And this pair of misty eyes was looking at the stunned Jiang Ze in surprise.It was only after Shui Xin stared at Jiang Ze that he realized his gaffe, got up in a panic and explained, "That me..."

With a "snap", the toilet door was closed angrily, indicating that the people inside did not want to hear Jiang Ze's pale explanation.At that time, Jiang Ze was still clumsy even though he had been tempered by life. He raised his foot and wanted to go to the toilet, trying to clear up the misunderstanding, "No, I, not..."

Jiang Ze was pulled back, turned his head to look at Ning Fei who was lying on the sofa with his back turned to him, stretched out a hand from under the blanket and grabbed his wrist firmly, reminding himself not to do useless work.He glanced at the back of Ning Fei's head, and then at Ning Fei holding his hand, but back then in that dim living room, Jiang Ze saw Ning Fei holding his hand, and the first sentence that came out of his mind was actually , So he didn't sleep.

It seems that after passing the age of 20, he finally got rid of the youthfulness of the age at the beginning of the cross, and became mature as if suddenly enlightened. Jiang Ze later understood why Ning Fei pretended to be asleep, and why he stopped him at that time. The reason he stepped forward was to take care of Shui Xin's already shattered self-esteem.

When Jiang Ze understood this truth, he also understood why Shui Xin was obsessed with Ning Fei. At that time, Ning Fei already had a low-key maturity and consideration earlier than himself, and had a hidden gentleman side, unlike him when he was 20. It's too late to understand.

But, Jiang Ze looked up at the direction Ning Fei left, but what did he go through to mature early?And what kind of weight does that person have that made Ning Fei forget his maturity and become reckless?

They have come together for so many years, but Ningfei has never mentioned it.

Lin Chen was not called by the alarm clock again the next day, so he washed up casually and rushed out the door, stepped down the steps in two steps, panted and ran to the first floor, although he was about to be late, he was still watching Until last night, I pushed back the bicycle locked in the corridor and stamped my feet.

The aunt who lived just downstairs from him, got up early to go to the roadside vegetable stall, came into the building with a basket on her shoulders, and curled her lips when she saw the bicycle, "Really, the place is so small, why is there a bicycle here?"

Lin Chen pretended not to hear it, and ran out of the corridor with his head bowed and his waist guiltily bowed.

He pushed the bike back last night. He really didn't know where to put the bike. He lives in the attic, so he couldn't carry the bike up there.Lin Chen was used to living in a single-family house with a yard since he was a child. He didn't know the neighborhood rules of this old-fashioned tube building. When he first moved in, he suffered a lot. The aunt downstairs scolded him for making too much noise. , Scolding him for the leak in the toilet, Lin Chi just hugged the pillow and nestled in the corner of the bed silently, not daring to refute at all.

"Ah." Lin Quan stopped in his tracks, turned his head and glanced into the dark corridor, "Remember why this auntie hasn't moved recently?" Lin Can felt that the frequency of scolding himself downstairs became less.Rolling my eyes and thinking about it, it seems that after meeting Ning Fei and being yelled at by Ning Fei, Lin Chi's life became much quieter.

Lin Chen giggled twice, feeling a little bit of the pleasure of picking up a small bargain. After laughing, he shook his arms and hopped on his daily commute to work. The children who went to the park looked no different.

"Ouch."

The child running in front of Lin Ling kicked the stone with his toe and was knocked to the ground directly.Lin Chen hurriedly went up to the child's armpits and was lifted from the ground. He patted his dusty clothes and asked, "How are you? Are you all right?"

The child was honest, thinking about the slides and swings in the park, he ran into the park without letting go of Lin Ling's hand without even saying thank you.

"Ah, your stuff!"

Hearing Lin Chi's reminder, the child stopped abruptly and picked up ashes on the ground, before he could stand still, he hurriedly turned around to pick up the gadget that fell out of his pocket.Lin Qian, who was squatting on the ground, felt ashes were brought up in front of his eyes, and when he coughed twice and raised his head, he had already lost sight of anyone.

Lin Chi looked down at the colorful candy wrappers left on the ground. It was the kind of transparent candy wrappers wrapped in glass candy that cost fifty cents a handful in the canteen. It was said to be transparent but it was strangely illuminated by the sun, and children liked it. Fancy things, so no matter whether the candy is good or not, I always buy a handful from time to time and collect the candy wrappers.

Although Lin Chi always emphasized to himself and others that he was an adult, he was still a bit naive and playful, so he looked at the colorful candy wrappers in the place, picked one up with a smile, and pointed the crumpled candy wrapper at the sunlight, The sun was covered with colorful veils, and the sky became a picture book that I had scribbled on.Lin Qiu squinted his eyes as he smiled, and then felt that the light wrapped in the candy wrapper was like a lamp in a happy garden.

It's equally bewitchingly colorful.Lin Chen opened his smiling eyes and stared blankly at the light reflected on the candy paper. Ning Fei's face appeared in the light. It was the first time he saw Ning Fei on the stage when he went to the Happy Garden. Under the bright stage lights, singing a moving song, people feel that it is not the stage lighting that is wonderful, but the sound effects, it is only him who is wonderful.

"Ning Fei, why don't you sing anymore?" Lin Qian said to himself while looking at the candy paper, and he answered him with a strong look.Lin Chi was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he saw the bright sun in the sky, and stood up shouting, "It's time, it's time! I'm going to be late!"

Sure enough, Lin Chi was late.Although he was not scolded, he was ridiculed by the three masters.

"Lin Chen, did you miss the little girl last night and couldn't sleep?"

"Do you feel that spring has just arrived but it is very hot?"

"Do you think that someone who hugs you to sleep will sleep more comfortably?"

Lin Chen's ears were said to be red, and the three masters still didn't let him go, "Lin Chen, do you know that there is a saying in Chinese medicine that the ear connects the kidney, and your ears are red now, which means..." The three masters They glanced at each other, and then glanced provocatively at Lin Quan's lower body, and Lin Quan quickly blocked it with his hand in embarrassment.The three masters saw him crossing his arms in front of the stalls, and let out a hearty laugh that finally succeeded, Lin Chi's face flushed from the laughter.

It was Master Lin who helped him out, "Okay, don't tease him anymore." Master Lin said, got up and walked to Lin Qiao with a white envelope.With grievance on his face, Lin Chen raised his head and glanced at Master Lin who came over, "Master Lin is still good to me."

"Here, your salary slip." Master Lin smiled and handed the envelope in front of Lin Chi, and when Lin Chi stretched out his hand to pick it up, he added, "We understand, who hasn't been young yet." It's really hard to get up, Lin Chen, don't hold back too much."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Lin Chen heard the two masters behind him burst into laughter, and cast a resentful glance at Master Lin, who deliberately teased him, raised his hand and took the envelope away. At least he was paid, and he felt some comfort in his heart when he had money.However, this consolation was not enough. Lin Chen's apprentice's salary was already low, except that he asked for leave yesterday afternoon and was late for these two days, so the salary was even less.Lin Chi looked at the salary slip with a sad face, counting with his fingers, how much money would he have left to eat after rent, water and electricity.

After counting with his fingers, Lin Qu sighed again.Master Liao turned his head and said, "Is Lin Chi lamenting that he doesn't have a beard?"

Now Lin Chen's childishness was revealed by Master Liao's teasing, and Lao Gao with pouty lips was even more frowning than knowing that his salary was too little.When Master Liao saw it, he felt that Lin Qiao was like his newborn grandson, who looked like he was about to cry when he pouted his lips, so he quickly turned around and bowed his head as if he hadn't said anything, and started to work.

Lin Chen was most concerned about the fact that he hadn't grown a beard yet, and he was depressed all morning when he was poked in a sore spot.Rubbing the wooden board with sandpaper, I recalled all my adolescence, trying to find out what went wrong. After much deliberation, it was all because I lost too much weight and lost nutrition.Lin Chi sighed deeply, touched his smooth chin, picked up the sandpaper and began to rub the wooden board fiercely, spilling all the breath he had choked up from being teased all morning on the wooden board.I made up my mind, I have to buy two more gingers when I go back tonight! ! !

After working hard all morning, Lin Qiu's arms were already a little sore by the time of the lunch break.Lin Ling came out of the inner studio with depression, reached out and touched his pockets, thinking about buying a can of Coke for himself after paying his salary, letting the carbonic acid squeeze out the gas in his stomach, so as to save himself from sighing all the time, the money did not come out, but I took out the candy wrapper I picked up in the morning.Looking at the candy wrapper in his hand, Lin Qiao felt better, but still not completely healed, because there was no sun in the store, and the warm yellow light from the lights in the store did not illuminate the radiance hidden by the transparent candy wrapper, so Lin Can was Ning Fei's face cannot be seen from inside.

Lin Chi looked at the candy wrapper in his hand, and walked out slightly disappointed.Moving his arms as he walked, he happened to meet the display clerk who was bringing in cardboard boxes from the warehouse.The shelf display clerk was a girl who had just come out to work. Seeing that she was struggling to move, Lin Chi stretched out his hand to help her hold a handful of cardboard boxes.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Lin Chi glanced into the cardboard box and asked, "What are these?"

"Newly ordered novelties from abroad are sold in the store."

"Novelty stuff?" Lin Chi bit his lower lip as soon as he heard the word novelty, and stared straight into the cardboard box.The exhibitor smiled when he saw him like this, and opened the box for him to take a good look.

Inside the box was a hand mirror full of reliefs, an ashtray shaped like a Colosseum, and a palm-sized vase with double-sided human heads, but Lin Qu's gaze was attracted by a cylinder-shaped thing stuffed at the bottom.

"It's all imported from Italy. We always have something new and high-end in our gift shop."

Lin Chen couldn't listen to the displayer's words, he was attracted by the bottom of the box and couldn't help taking it out.The exhibitor glanced at what he was holding and asked him, "You like this kaleidoscope."

"Kaleidoscope?" Lin Ling held up the kaleidoscope and looked into the distance. It was more beautiful than the candy wrapper in his hand. Turning it around, it changed into more colorful colors, a bit like the colored lights on the top of the church illuminated by the sun. Glass.Lin Quan was fascinated by the sight, and the candy wrapper in his hand was rattling. Looking at the scene in the kaleidoscope, Lin Quan thought, there is no more advanced stage in Happy Garden, and he shouldn't think of Ning Fei when he sees cheap candy wrappers. The face reflected in the stage lights.

Lin Chen lowered his hand, and tightly held the kaleidoscope in his hand, that's right, Ning Fei should sing under the colorful lights like this kaleidoscope.He should be singing among the flowers.
