die

The three of them worked hard at the bar for half an hour, and most of the food in front of them was missing.Finally, Xiang Liu and Zhang Deng clinked glasses and drank the last bit of beer, belching contentedly, like two bullfrogs.

"You kid, you're quite good at picking restaurants," Xiang Liu praised, and picked up some pickled offal and put it in his mouth, "I'm full too, should we, should we?"

Zhang Deng gestured to Dai Liansheng and ordered another glass of beer.He turned back and punched Xiang Liu: "You eighth wife, please tell me. I'm with Liu Bai thanks to you."

One of Xiang Liu's eyebrows immediately raised: "Aha! I knew you two had something to do! He knew it when he was alone in the small group and we bothered about how to talk to you! How about it, hit home plate without?"

At this time, a ball of paper flew from Liu Bai's direction, hitting Xiang Liu's eyebrows.

Zhang Deng laughed loudly: "It happened a long time ago."

Another ball of paper, with a toothpick inside, was thrown on Zhang Deng's face this time.

Regardless of Liu Bai, the first two people are still discussing in full swing.

"Well, we Xiaoliu people are pretty good. Does it meet your standards?"

Zhang Deng secretly glanced at Liu Bai who was looking at the menu, and listened to him: "Actually... I used to like the smiling, understanding type."

Xiang Liu had a clear expression on his face: "Understood, □□? Or is it the kind that comes out soft?" His voice was not too loud, and Zhang Deng didn't know if Liu Bai could hear it, so he had to pinch Xiang Liu.

"Oh, oh, don't be so cruel, the type you like may not necessarily coincide with the one you love the most..." Xiang Liu muttered and rubbed his arm.

"What about you? Is yours different from what I imagined?" Zhang Deng hurriedly changed the subject, for fear of being overheard by Liu Bai.

Xiang Liu suddenly became quiet.He picked up the new beer and took a sip, as if thinking of something.

"I'm going to find her." Xiang Liu said.

"I couldn't find her. She's not in the country, so I haven't been able to find her. You probably don't know, I found someone to make a post last month."

At this moment, Liu Bai, who had been quiet all the time, opened his mouth and answered his words: "The missing person notice, right? I saw it too. You made such a big noise, it's impossible not to see it."

Zhang Deng looked puzzled, and turned to look at Xiang Liu who had been exposed.He scratched his head and sighed: "What else? I don't have her photo, nor her contact information, so I have no way to start. I can only post a post asking if anyone knows such a girl."

Liu Bai just thought it was funny, and glanced at Xiang Liu: "You didn't expect that there are so many girls who match your description in the whole country."

Xiang Liu shook his head: "Those are just similarities. She and I talked a lot, and after narrowing down the scope, it became very clear. But, I didn't expect that she was not in China."

Zhang Deng thought it was interesting and put down the chopsticks in his hand.At this moment, the great master who had finished his work also poked his head out and looked at Xiang Liu with great interest, as if he had discovered his identity.

"Just over half a month ago, someone sent me a screenshot of a Youtube video," Xiang Liu said, "It was a singing video."

"You don't need to look carefully, you know it's her. Unfortunately, she is wearing a hat, so I can't see clearly. So I asked that person," Xiang Liu smiled wryly, "Where is she? The person said he watched it while listening to the song." Someone posted it on Youtube and gave me the URL.”

"I looked up the address in the video introduction, only to find out that she is in Australia. So I found a fan in Australia, quietly went to the place where she performed, and took two photos for comparison."

God, I frowned when I heard his behavior like this.This seems a little bit like a stalker.

"It really is her," Xiang Liu became happy again, "so I plan to go find her."

"Wait a minute," Zhang Deng interrupted the excited Xiang Liu, and asked his own question, "Will you be too rude by doing this?"

Xiang Liu put down the hand raised to his chest and looked at him.

"I think it's better to find a chance to get her contact information before making plans." Zhang Deng continued.

At this time, the great master and I stretched out a hand and stopped Zhang Deng's speech.

"No need." He said, then walked directly opposite Xiang Liu, and took a few serious glances at him.

"You are Xiang Liu? Do you really like her?" Big Self asked him seriously.

Xiang Liu didn't know about his relationship with Dai Lemi, and felt a little baffled, but still nodded.

"She is very special, once you see her, you will never forget her. Although she tried her best to dress up according to what I said on the Internet before, I can recognize her even if she changed her clothes. I am not an optimist, But this is the first time that I am attached to others." The blush on Xiang Liu's face faded away, and he said to my older self who was smoking behind the counter with a seriousness rarely seen at this age.

My older self stared at him for a few seconds, as if I was having a good time with him.

Zhang Deng and Liu Bai looked at each other, one thought "this is probably a duel between father-in-law and son-in-law, luckily I don't have father-in-law hee hee hee, I'm so happy for nothing", the other thought "If I go back with silly boy Deng Don't you also have to face such a Shura field, I don't want to."

"Okay. You can go directly. Lele won't say anything. She is a very low self-esteem person. Just praise her more. Let her feel that you like her, and she won't run away." When I finally spoke, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiang Liu blinked his eyes, not knowing what to say.Zhang Deng had no choice but to introduce to him: "The owner of this shop is Dai Lemi's, um, half guardian. Oh, the Dai Liansheng who is helping me next to him is Dai Lemi's younger brother."

This time, Xiang Liu was so frightened that he was speechless, really stunned.He looked at Dashen Dawo with a slight stubble on his chin, then at the black-haired boy with a calm face, and only uttered two words: "You, you..."

Zhang Deng held Xiangliu's shoulder helplessly: "Okay, okay. We all know each other now, and we might become relatives and friends in the future. Oh, relax, relax."

Now, the tense atmosphere between the two of them eased a little.The older I touched my little braid and said, "Forget it, I'll take care of this meal. On the other hand, you kid should treat Lele better, or you will look good."

This is of course no problem, Xiang Liu agreed without hesitation.

Before the topic was finished, Xiang Liu turned to Liu Bai and asked him, "Xiao Bai, do you think Zhang Deng is far from your standard? Is it not up to your standard for choosing a mate?"

Zhang Deng nervously waited for Liu Bai's answer.But Liu Bai calmly took a sip of oolong tea and said, "Actually, I like girls better."

Xiang Liu: "Huh?"

Big me: "Huh."

Zhang Deng: "Huh?!"

Everyone has an extremely frightened expression.

Zhang Deng: "I, you, he... Huh?!" He still hasn't reacted.

But Liu Bai burst out laughing with a "puchi".

"You're silly. I'm not a person with certain standards. I think women are easier to get along with than men. Besides, who loves someone who fully meets your standards? No."

What he said was right, and everyone present silently agreed.At this time, Dai Liansheng raised his eyes to look at the master, then lowered his head and continued to wipe the table.

This recap, from six o'clock to nine o'clock.Zhang Deng made up a lot of short stories about going to remote mountainous areas to support education, and Liu Bai helped him make up for the occasional loopholes.In the end, Zhang Deng took a taxi and sent Xiang Liu back to the hotel.He needs to take an early flight to Australia tomorrow, and needs to go back early to rest.

After seeing off people, Zhang Deng stood on the street where the rain had just stopped and lit a cigarette.

At this time, there was an inexplicable smell of fresh fruit in the air, like grapefruit, kumquat and lemon.Slightly sweet and sour, it smells refreshing.

Liu Bai walked beside him, neither saying a word nor holding his hand.

Zhang Deng held a cigarette in his left hand, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

It's not just that he wants to smile, it seems that at this moment, there are many pasts that make him want to grin.His mere 20-year-old life is far from consummation, but at this second, there is an infinite long-cherished wish in the past that can come to an end.

Liu Bai said to him: "After a while, Zhou You and Li Li are coming back. You can ask him if he can join in and open a store. I have hundreds of thousands of principals that I can lend you, and I will pay you back when I earn it. You don't have a job now. It’s also not suitable to go to a public institution, so why not do some business.”

Zhang Deng laughed and let out a little gasp.Liu Bai thought he was amused, and continued, "I didn't give you this money. You must return it to me when you get your money back."

Zhang Deng smiled again, and answered him with "hmm."

"Hey, you are old and young. If you want to stay in Binhai in the future, you have to work. I think it's good to do business..."

Suddenly, Zhang Deng grabbed Liu Bai's shoulder with his right hand, and gently touched his lips on his face.

Liu Bai suddenly became dumb.

Zhang Deng rubbed his head, as if he was the older one, and whispered in his ear, "I love you."

Liu Bai felt that the kumquats and lemons in the air made his nose a little sore.

"I said, you can go home with me. It's not far, it's in Yinhe, two hours' drive from here." Zhang Deng withdrew his hand from Liu Bai's shoulder, took his hand instead, and squeezed him four fingers.

"My grandma's birthday is coming soon, you can accompany me back to see her. By the way, I will introduce you to her." Zhang Deng said.

Liu Bai hesitated: "She...wouldn't mind? Our relationship?"

Zhang Deng shook his head: "When I was young, my parents died, and I refused to say a word for three years. My grandma loved me the most, and she didn't make demands on my life long ago. This is a good thing for you."

Speaking of childhood, Liu Bai remembered that Zhang Deng had indeed lost his parents when he was very young.It's just that when he was a child, he was always a skin boy, and he didn't grow up, so Liu Bai didn't care much about him.Back then, there was a serious car accident on the Golden Gate Bridge in Binhai. After that, Zhang Deng began to grow slowly, and Liu Bai paid more attention to him.

After agreeing on a good time, the two walked around, bought a lot of Binhai's special products and nutritional products, and used rock-paper-scissors to let the defeated Zhang Deng drive back to Binhai.
