[Full-time master] Love can last for a long time

In Yunnan, the four seasons are like spring, and the mountains and rivers are evergreen.Even in the scorching sun, it doesn't feel stuffy at all.When the plane landed, it had just finished a torrential rain in Dali, and the air was filled with the grassy smell of moist soil, and the sky was as clear as blue, cloudless.

Zhao Ling bought a bunch of jasmine flowers from the grandmother on the side of the road. The white and tender flowers fell softly on the neck and shoulders, and the fragrance of the flowers at the tip of the nose was reassuring.She put on a thin shirt and a pair of glasses with big frames that blurred her facial features. She walked slowly on the trails of the ancient city, feeling the time slowing down around her.

Every August, she would choose to come here to walk the blue bricks of Dali for Zhao Fu, and watch the sunset on the Erhai Lake.

In the evening sky, there are beautiful gradients and layers, from light to dark, from far to near, the sun is fading, and the bars and restaurants on the street are lit up one by one.

Zhao Ling stopped and walked, along the way, the water flowed under the bridge, and the water wheel creaked in the distance.After a few turns, Zhao Ling walked into a small alley surrounded by green vines, the flow of people suddenly decreased, and the world became quiet.

The alleys were long and thin, with twists and turns, full of artistic conception, and Zhao Ling went deep unconsciously.Not far away, a wooden fence was pushed open, and a boy with a red headband ran out, holding a few crumpled leaflets.As soon as he went out and saw Zhao Ling strolling gracefully, his eyes lit up, and he immediately ran up to her with small steps, and said enthusiastically: "Girl, our bar is half price tonight, do you want to come and sit?"

There are many bars along the road, many of which are commercial shops catering to tourists.There are various promotional activities every day, soliciting customers when you see pedestrians.Zhao Ling gathered her sideburns together, tried her best to hide her face, shook her head, and walked away sideways with a vigilant distance.

After a while, the guy came up from behind again: "Hey, I'm not a bad guy! It's really half price tonight, the store is about to close down, and the boss has a big clearance sale before he leaves!"

For this reason, will the boss be mad after hearing such an unlucky statement?

Zhao Ling lowered her head and pursed her lips into a smile, but still didn't speak, shook her head and refused to walk away.

The young man followed her reluctantly: "Just take a look, if I can't pull anyone off today, the boss will have to get drunk all by himself, what a tragedy!"

"I don't like bars." Zhao Ling frowned, she didn't like others forcing herself like this, she felt very insecure.

"It's not that kind of messy bar, we're a clearing bar and a music bar." The young man felt Zhao Ling's impatience, and his voice was so soft that it almost begged, "The boss has opened the store for more than a year and has never messed up. He is very special. Well, it’s also very kind to me. The store is about to be transferred, and it will be open on the last day. I really want to invite the two of them to sit down and make him happy. This year’s business has been bleak, and it’s time to be lively. Bar……"

"Just take a look at the door, I really don't like it, I will never stop you!"

"The drinks inside are all clearly marked. Really, really, you can't do it. You bring your own drinks in! Just, just sit for a while and hold on..."

"Look at me, I'm really not a professional solicitor. The flyers in my hand are all from the menu in the store..."

"Our boss is very nice, trust me..."

Zhao Ling's ears were soft, and she didn't want to be wronged by others. She walked more and more slowly, and finally succumbed to the young man's insistence, and followed him into the bar called "Hualuo".

The name of this bar is vulgar, and the decoration of the store is also very vulgar - at first glance, it looks like wooden tables and chairs from a wholesale market, a few drinks lists are randomly pasted on the white wall, and there are square and orderly wine racks behind the bar.Probably in order to cater to the young people nowadays, a raised platform was set up in the depths of the bar, with two microphones on it, as a small singing performance area.There's a drum kit in the back, two guitars hanging on the wall, and an electronic keyboard on the table.

Straight men's style, rough and direct, can vaguely feel a little... perfunctory.

The young man really ushered people in, but he was a little embarrassed, afraid that Zhao Ling would turn his head and run away: "Well, actually, even though our store is not good-looking, the boss puts his heart into it. If you don't believe me, look at those camellias in the courtyard. It’s all planted by the boss himself!”

In order to show his greatest enthusiasm for customers, he took Zhao Ling to a table near the performance area, rubbed his hands and introduced vigorously: "We will give away snacks and melon seeds when you spend over [-] in a single order. There are several kinds in the store that are specially for women The prepared cocktails are all refreshing and delicious. What do you drink, sister, I will make it for you, can you refill it for free?"

Zhao Ling glanced at the menu, and the price was indeed fair: "Go for 'Tequila Sunrise', and I want a small plate of fruit."

The young man was very happy, pointing to the performance area: "Sister, the musical instruments in our bar are all open, and interested guests can pick up the accompaniment to show off their skills. If the boss is there, there will usually be a separate glass of 'special offer of the day' .”

Zhao Ling was delighted: "Your boss is so generous, it's really not easy to make a profit."

The young man took a bottle of tequila from the wine shelf, opened the refrigerator and picked out a big yellow orange and cut it open, then sighed heavily: "Yes, the boss is kind and has many friends. When I heard him say 'half price' and 'free of charge', my heart sank, and I felt that the day was wasted again."

There was a crisp friction sound when the ice cubes collided in the mixing glass, and the young man continued to mutter: "A while ago, the boss came back from a trip to other places, and he had some concerns, so he decided to transfer the store soon. Recently, it is the peak tourist season in Yunnan. Everyone was red-eyed and wanted to make more money, but the boss didn't hesitate at all. I could have closed today and went home early. But I really want to do something for him. Fortunately, sister, you gave me face, otherwise I It's embarrassing, hahaha."

Zhao Ling smiled at him soothingly: "It can be seen that you like your boss very much."

The young man scratched his head shyly: "Hey, the boss is very kind to everyone. I heard that he used to be quite famous. Later, because of his injury, he didn't want to hurt others, so he came out to open the store by himself. I think this kind of person is very loyal. , especially a man, it’s a pity that the boss seldom tells us about his past.”

After a glass of "Tequila Sunrise" with a gradient of orange and red was ready, the young man took a coaster and brought the goblet to Zhao Ling's desk.

"Thank you. By the way," Zhao Ling raised her head with her hands on her chin and asked him, "What's your name?"

"Me? My name is Dingka. People who know me better call me Little Pickup, hahaha."

The small bar was really deserted, and Zhao Ling sat in the corner, gradually relaxing and enjoying the quietness of this moment.The little pickup was quite upbeat, and ran behind the bar to turn on the music in the store and dimmed some lights. The sun was setting outside the house, the sky was low, and the softly sung jazz was like the evening wind, blowing the camellias in the garden.

The music had some calming effect, Zhao Ling took a sip of the cocktail, squinted her eyes slightly, the rich fruity aroma of orange juice and lemon was between her lips and teeth, and there was a little spicy on the tip of her tongue.While drinking, the wooden fence was pulled open, and a hearty male voice sounded: "Haha, I said that the little pickup must be reluctant to part with me. Look, he is still thinking about helping me make money."

"Yo, I have to play the harp." Followed by a lazy voice, he approached, "If you still start a business like this, you will almost lose money, right?"

"Oh, you talk too much!"

"That's no nonsense, anyway, I'm also a shareholder." The lazy voice was a little vague, and there seemed to be something in his mouth, "Tell yourself, how much dividends do you owe me?"

"There are no dividends, but there are a lot of debts. Would you like to consider inheriting it?" The other party asked for money aggressively.

"Tsk, what about Zhang Jiale, why didn't you ask him for it?"

Um?When Zhao Ling heard a slightly familiar name, she immediately shifted her attention, and the conversation between the two became clear.

Seeing the person coming at the door, the little pickup immediately came out from behind the bar happily, his eyes sparkling like a little Teddy: "Boss!"

"Yo, are you a fan?" A lazy voice sounded.

"Where is it, the big butler in my store is called 'Little Pickup' by people in the Jianghu." The boss put his arms around the shoulders of the people around him, "Xiaoka, this is the brother I hate the most, Lao Ye."

The ice cube in Zhao Ling's mouth was crushed in response.

Ye Qiu was smoking a cigarette, drooping his eyelids, and before he had time to tease the little pickup, he noticed the figure looking towards him in the room.So the cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth was tilted like that, shaking off the ashes all over the place.

"What are you looking at?" The boss followed Ye Qiu's line of sight. In the dim light in the corner, he saw a slender and tall figure. Luckily, I'll give you half price for your drinks!"

Pickup turned around and glanced at Zhao Ling, with a look of "Look, I told you so!", and a whiff of resentment for giving up treatment emanated from his body.

"Zhao Ling?" Ye Qiu pinched his cigarette and spoke first.

"Hmm... what a coincidence." Zhao Ling pushed her glasses.
