He Zengren

Snow and ice.

Baicheng likes snow in winter, but not heavy snow.It changed its temperament during this day, and the stingy flowers became the size of goose feathers, spinning and falling down.

It was just past midnight when He Ren walked into the bar. This year's Spring Festival, he couldn't bear the feigned harmony at home, so he rushed to the bar opened by a friend, vowing to spend the New Year soaked in wine.

Shen Qisi and Shen Fu blushed from drinking a long time ago, they supported each other and exchanged blows. Seeing him coming, Shen Qisi took a step forward, staggered, and was about to throw himself into his arms.He Ren frowned and took a step back, letting his front feet twiddle his back feet, and took a few steps to the right before he stabilized his figure.

The music in the bar was too loud.Shen Qisi lolled his tongue and shouted at him: "Brother! You...you are too unkind! Just because I am not a beauty, why don't you help me?"

Shen Fu raised his forehead when he watched from the side. He was still a drunk, and he knew how to embarrass him.He Ren ignored him, sat on the edge of the bar, waited for a long time but no one came.Usually it's nothing, but it's so lively here today, everyone wants to vent while drunk, and he's the only one who is still sober, so it's too out of place.

He Ren didn't want to be a misfit.He followed the rules in the first 26 years, because he followed the rules step by step, so he can be regarded as a successful person in the eyes of the world.

"Give me a cup of Long Island iced tea." If the mountain can't come, he will go there.He Ren carefully selected and picked a person who was busy with his head bowed in the corner of the bar.That person looked like a novice, with a student's head, and his hairstyle hadn't been trimmed in any way.If he were to choose someone to bully, he would definitely pick him.

The students are still busy there, trying to pour out the wine that they have just mixed in the glass.He Ning stood less than one meter away from him, surrounded by the excitement of countless men and women colliding.Shen Qisi really knows how to play, if he opens a bar, he must let it sing and sing every night.

Standing here, He Ren suddenly felt that his appearance was a bit ridiculous.No one responded to what he said, and even if he wanted to drink, he couldn't drink it.It's all right now, I said I'm going to have some fun and escape the cold war atmosphere at home.But in such a lively bar, everyone is reveling recklessly, and he is the only one who is deserted.

He turned to leave.An almost inaudible voice sounded behind him: "Sir, what do you want?"

It's too green.He shook his head, turned around, and saw the student who had been washing the wine glass with his head bent sideways just raised his head, a very thin face with only two big scary eyes, the whole person was black and white, looking at him with a red face , made his Adam's apple move up and down subconsciously, his mouth was dry for a long time, he came back to his senses, and asked, "Long Island Iced Tea?"

Yes, it's Long Island Iced Tea.

The student picked up the wine glass clumsily, just about to touch the wine bottle.He Ren lay down on the table and kindly reminded: "Vodka, rum, gin, tequila. Peppermint wine is just an ingredient, not a base wine." The student looked up at him with wide eyes, and remained silent. The one who speaks the language continues the work at hand according to what he said.

He Ning looked at the movements of his hands, then raised his head to look around for a long time, and saw that Shen Fu and Shen Qisi were chatting enthusiastically, and the others were also in small groups.Feeling too desolate to be alone, he simply asked for something to say: "Are you new here?"

"Ask me?" The student was a bit clumsy, but he was very calm when talking to people, with a flat expression on his face, which didn't fit in well with the waiters with their hair dyed blue at the cash register over there.

"You're the only one here, who else would you ask?"

"Come here to work part-time." He finally made a glass of wine, handed it to him, and said, "You have to go to the cashier to pay." He pointed to the direction behind him.

He Ren saw the unique whitening marks on the sleeves of the clothes under the work clothes he was wearing when he raised his hands due to too many times of wearing and washing. He sat there without moving, took a sip of wine, and asked: " Are you really a student?" He motioned him to look at the sleeves that came out unintentionally, "The clothes you are wearing are not as good as the clothes provided by the bar."

After saying this, He Ren clicked his mouth, thinking that it sounded quite hurtful.But so be it, they're used to hearing and saying hurtful things like this to each other anyway.

The student glanced at the receipt slowly spit out by the machine, and began to make a second glass of wine clumsily, without making a sound for a long time.He Ren took another sip of the wine in his glass, thinking that he was really angry, so he didn't speak.Unexpectedly, after finishing a glass of margarita, the student said: "Of course the family is poor, otherwise who would come out to work part-time?"

Can he only concentrate on doing one thing for a period of time?You have to finish the job at hand before you can speak.He Ren thought about it, couldn't help laughing, and then suppressed the smile for a moment, and said seriously: "Look at you, college student. The school doesn't give out scholarships?"

"Where is my turn?"

Your clothes are all torn like this, and you still can't get your turn. The students who get that turn will have a miserable life.Just as He Ning was about to say it, he saw the waiter who dyed his hair blue came over from the cashier aggressively, almost immediately grabbed the student's ear and said, "Can you be a little more agile? "Looked at He Ren again, "Who is this? How do I remember that the name of Long Island Iced Tea is not in the bill?"

He Ning took out the card in his pocket and showed him, seeing the waiter's angry face slowly froze, looking towards the direction where Shen Qisi was sitting at the table behind He Ning, hesitantly turned and left.

The students witnessed the drama throughout, and finally fell silent.He Ren looked at it, feeling admiration in his heart, and asked: "I think you look very good, and your grades must be good. Why can't you even get a scholarship?"

"Didn't you go to college?" he said, "bursaries are not just for good students from poor families."

He Ren was stunned by this sentence, and explained seriously: "It's not that I didn't go to university abroad."

"I see." The student didn't even look up.

Is this the end of this boring conversation?He Ren thought, because he got a bad nose, he even forgot to take the wine glass away, and when he turned around, he didn't forget to kick the drunken Shen Qisi.Shen Qisi struggled and flapped twice, complaining: "Brother, what are you kicking me for?"

Shen Fu, who was barely awake, supported his forehead and sat on the spot in a motionless posture.Standing by the side and looking at these two people, He Ren became inexplicably angry. He called the drivers of the two people's homes and asked them to pick them up. Then he rushed into the snowy street and staggered alone.

After that night, He Ren didn't go to the bar again, but he always felt that he might be able to see the student on the corner of the blue-black street.

He attributes this awareness to his "eye complex."It's probably because since he was in school, when He Ren knows someone, he likes to look into his eyes first.The eyes of middle-aged men are mostly cloudy and bloodshot. He has been dealing with this group of people for a long time, and he cherishes the opportunity to see clear eyes.At least that student's eyes are clean, he thought.

Dust was flying in the orange light, and the freshly fallen snow of the previous few days had now melted into a pool of mud.Even so, the crew of "Flying Dance" borrowed the scene of Baicheng University in a hurry, and had to work overtime at night to finish filming.

Chen Yao asked He Ren to say: "You are also an investor in this drama, help me to go to the crew to keep an eye on it. The director has a bad reputation, don't let him do something ridiculous again."

"Is there an actor in the crew that you have fallen in love with?" He said, but out of loyalty, he still agreed, so he drove slowly to Baicheng University, and drove the navigation to the gymnasium.

The crew had parked a car nearby long ago, and the camera was set up next to it. Among the group of people stood two people with exquisite makeup, who might be the heroine and the supporting actress.He Ren didn't know what was the use of coming and what he was going to do, so he simply stood with the students onlookers and watched the actresses play opposite roles.

The slightly taller person read a few lines first, then raised his hand and made a gesture to hit the girl standing opposite her. The girl dodged for a while, leaving just enough space for a group performer standing on her right to show her full body. face opened.He Nen put his hands in his trouser pockets, and made eye contact with the group performer.

clean eyes.He Ren thought, it was that student.

He finally saw the original appearance of the owner of those eyes clearly under a bright enough light in the crew.He was wearing a black sweater, which was obviously a little too small, and was tightly locked on his body. The pants were the simplest blue sweatpants, with the words "Siming High School" embroidered in the middle of the trouser seam.

He Ning put his eyes back on that face again, and saw that the students were equally unmoved, and did not move away when their eyes collided. Standing in place, the whole person and the surrounding world drew a clear boundary.His whole body is black and white, as clean and distinct as his eyes.

This game has dragged on long enough.The actors shouted and must act out what the director called "anger, disappointment and resentment".He repeated it over and over again, He Ren became irritable when he watched it.Fortunately, finally passed the level.The actors didn't wait for the onlookers to join in, one by two got into the nanny car under the escort of their managers.The staff packed things up quickly, and they left cleanly and neatly within 2 minutes.After a while, there were only scattered people left in the bustling gymnasium.

He Ren walked up to the student who was still standing, and said, "Hey, how short of money are you?" The moment he said the words, he regretted it, thinking why he was always so open-mouthed, no wonder he couldn't pay the money. to many friends.

The student didn't mind, saying: "The family's harvest is not good this year, and the scholarship has not been applied for, so the scholarship alone cannot cover daily expenses."

"Then can you make a lot of money as a group performer?"

"They said it was [-] a day, but in fact it took less than two hours to shoot, which is quite a bargain."

They chatted standing on the basketball court in the gymnasium, above the steps of the main gate.The security guard shone a flashlight from above and shouted, "Get out quickly! The door will be locked soon!"

He Ren looked at the student, and was about to speak, but the student grabbed his wrist, and the two of them ran over the steps one after the other, and escaped the security guards.

After running out, He Ren didn't react, and asked him after the two stood still: "What are you running for?"

The student let go of his wrist, crossed his hips and panted, "It's so late, if we don't come out early, the security guard will be late to go home again tonight."

This reason is really "no shop in the front of the village, no shop in the back", He Ren thought about it, and still felt that this word should be used to describe it.But looking into the eyes of the student in front of him, the sarcasm stuck in his mouth, and he still didn't say it in the end.

"I'm going back to the dormitory." The student said.

"Oh." He Nin was stunned for a while, not knowing why he asked inexplicably, "My name is He Ren. What's your name?"

What an inexplicable question.But it's definitely not his own fault, it's this student, who first ran by holding his wrist inexplicably, and then prevaricated him with such inexplicable reasons, that's why this night became inexplicable, and he also became like this.

The student said, "Zeng Luli. My name is Zeng Luli."
