my summer

Although the bar street in City C is right in the city center, this is my first time visiting. After all, Xia Zhi and I are good boys.As night fell and the lights came on, the whole street was bustling with people, and it was a scene of feasting and feasting.

I followed Li Youheng around in the crowd, I didn't know how many times I turned, and finally entered a bar with an inconspicuous appearance in the corner.Before I went in, I took a closer look, and barely recognized the two big characters on the signboard, Zige.

I didn't expect that there is a hole in the bar, the decoration is very stylish, and the main color is lavender.Unlike the noisy bar I imagined, this place is quite quiet, except for a middle-aged man with a mustache singing with a guitar on the central stage and the whispered conversations of the surrounding guests, there are almost no other sounds.

Very comfortable.

Li Youheng is probably a frequent visitor here, as soon as he walked into the bar, the waiter came over to say hello, and when he walked around the stage, he even blew a kiss to the man on the stage.

The waiter took us to the innermost empty seat and sat down without asking what to drink. After a while, he brought us two glasses of blue and yellow wine.Li Youheng picked up the wine and took a sip, then gestured for me to drink it with his eyes, I hesitated for a few seconds, then picked it up and took a sip.It's sour with a bit of sweetness, it's not bad to drink, but of course it's not so good, it's far from Sprite-Cola.

"Do you know where this is?" Li Youheng asked with half-closed eyes.

"The bar." I had an expression on my face that you thought I was an idiot.

He smiled, "Didn't you find anything special about this bar?"

What's special?I took advantage of the dim light and scanned around, only to realize that the people in the bar, including the waiters, were all men, and I didn't see a single person of the opposite sex.

"Women are not served here?" I asked curiously.

"Women are welcome if they really want to come," he said, "but, normal women wouldn't think of coming here."

The two men at the opposite table were originally chatting face to face, but they seemed to have embraced each other at this moment.I think I probably know what's special about this bar.Just when he was about to speak, a man in a tight floral shirt came over with a glass of wine and sat down almost beside Li Youheng.

A strong smell of perfume drilled into my nose, and I couldn't help holding my breath secretly.

"Oh, handsome guy Li, you haven't come here for a long time, why, what have you been up to lately?" The man's voice was high-pitched and thin, like a chicken whose throat was pinched.

"Brother Hua," Li Youheng called that person with a smile, then turned his head to me, "This is the owner of this bar, Brother Hua."

I froze for a moment, and called out in a low voice, "Brother Hua."

"Who is this handsome guy?" Brother Hua stared straight at me.

"His name is Zhang Zhuyang, a friend of mine, and it's the first time he came to play today." Li Youheng said.

"Sure enough, handsome people only hang out with handsome people." Brother Hua twisted his waist and sat next to me, and the smell of perfume became stronger. "Little handsome guy's skin is so white, it must be smooth to the touch." He finished I wanted to reach out and touch my face, so I quickly leaned back to avoid it.

"Brother Hua, this is his first time here, don't scare him." Li Youheng said.

Brother Hua coughed dryly, and said, "Look at my memory, I almost can't hold it when I see a pretty boy. Forget it, you two are free of drinks today, and I will apologize to this handsome guy. You play slowly, I'm still busy."

After Brother Hua walked away, I glared at Li Youheng, "What the hell did you bring me to? Who are these people?"

"Didn't you guess everything?" He took a sip of his wine, "Still asking?"

I was at a loss for words and fell silent for a moment, "So you are..."

"I am." He readily admitted.

I hesitated for a while, then continued: "Then how do you know me..."

"I knew it." He said happily again, "I saw it from the first time I saw you."

My mood immediately became a little complicated, no, very complicated.Surprise, embarrassment, helplessness, depression, secret joy... mixed feelings.

Could it be that the same kind is more sensitive to the same kind of touch than other people?

But I only like Xia Zhi alone, is he really the same kind?

"To be exact," he continued, "I can see it from the way I looked at Xia Zhi when I first saw you."

"So...obvious...?" I struggled to organize my words.

"Maybe I'm just naturally sensitive about it," he said, "but you're definitely showing it."

"..." I picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp, "Then what do you think about Xia Zhi... he treats me..."

"He regards you as his own brother." Li Youheng said with certainty.

"Is... is it..." Even though he knew it was true, disappointment still surged up.

Li Youheng invited the waiter to order two more glasses of wine, "People who come here are looking for companionship, you can come here often, maybe one day you will meet a companion you can talk to."

I thought to myself, I don't need any company, it is enough for me to have the company of the summer solstice.

After quietly listening to three songs and drinking two glasses of wine, we are going back to school.Passing by the bar, I saw Hua Ge making gestures with a tall blond man.It is estimated that the language is not communicated well, I think.

"Youheng!" Brother Hua called to stop Li Youheng, "Come here, help me translate, I can't handle this foreigner."

Li Youheng smiled wryly, "Brother Hua, English is my weakness, and the listening comprehension questions are basically based on mere comprehension."

At this time, the foreigner also looked at us and quickly asked a question.

I subconsciously picked it up, and after asking about the needs of the foreigner, I conveyed it to Brother Hua: "He wants to ask, he has a friend's birthday next Saturday, and he wants to book a place here for his birthday celebration, and ask if he can fully cooperate. ?How much is it?"

Brother Hua's eyes lit up, he covered his mouth and laughed, "Of course, you can ask him how he needs to arrange the arrangement. The cost will be based on his requirements. I can't say for sure now, but I will give him a discount."

I truthfully conveyed it to foreigners.The foreigner nodded in satisfaction, said he would come back next weekend for a detailed discussion, and then left.

"Little handsome guy," Brother Hua looked at me with a smile, "Your English is pretty good, are you interested in doing part-time jobs here? I often have foreigners patronizing here, and every time I communicate, it is very difficult. The English level of all the waiters has improved. Worse than me."

To be honest, I was moved.

This part-time job not only allows me to get in touch with foreigners, communicate face-to-face and practice oral English, but also allows me to be in this circle. Even if I don’t want to find a partner, it’s okay to get to know more of the same kind and learn more about their thoughts good.

But what Brother Hua did to me just now...

Brother Hua seemed to see my heartbeat and hesitation, and said: "Brother was sorry for you just now, and I will never do it again in the future. Your job is very simple, that is, you are responsible for entertaining foreign guests when you have foreign guests, and helping you when you don't. Let’s start. The daily salary is calculated at 1.5 times that of a regular employee, and the working hours are from 8:2 p.m. to [-]:[-] a.m..”

2 o'clock in the morning... There is no bus at night, and if you go back by bicycle, it will be 2:[-] at the earliest to reach the dormitory.

"But I'm still in school, and the door of the dormitory building will be locked at night, only on Friday and Saturday nights." I said.

"Okay, then it's settled, you come here at 8 o'clock every Friday and Saturday night." He handed over a business card, "Call me anytime if you need anything."

"Let me just say it," Li Youheng said proudly after walking out of the bar, "You will definitely like this place."

"Just because I agreed to do a part-time job doesn't mean I like it." I said, "I just look at it for the sake of money."

"Hmph, pretend, pretend whatever you want," he said disdainfully, "Anyway, I'm not Xia Zhi."

"I didn't pretend, at least for now, I don't particularly like Zige," I insisted, "As for the future, who knows?"

"I'll come over if I have nothing to do in the future," he said, "Brother Hua is a nice guy, he's very righteous, if you need anything, just call him."

"I don't know if it's righteousness or not," I said, "I just know he's a bitch, and he's very horny."

He said with a smile: "He is like that. He just likes to recruit people on the surface, but he won't really do anything to you. Don't worry."

"How did I find out," I turned to look at him, "you're actually not as annoying as you thought."

"I'm not annoying in the first place, but you thought too much before." He laughed, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a late-night snack."

The author has something to say: the summer solstice in this chapter is just a, um, legend~
