Summertime

Chapter 22

This day is the last day of the weekend, and the business of the bar is not as good as the previous two days. The pressure of Black Monday makes people dare not act recklessly on Sunday. Usually, most of the customers in the store will choose to escape to various places. The comfortable nest, quietly waiting for the arrival of the next working day.So on this day, Ren Feng would come to the store to open the door an hour later than the usual business hours. On this day, when Ren Feng got off the car and walked to the underground stairs of his own bar, it was already [-]:[-] at night. He frowned when he saw a young man with his hair dyed gray squatting lazily on the steps of the net court, smoking a cigarette and playing with his mobile phone with his head down.

"White rice." He yelled at the huddled figure.

"Brother Feng is here!"

The young man squatting on the steps raised his head in response, saw the person who was coming hurriedly threw away the cigarette in his hand, stomped it out, then trotted to Ren Feng and greeted Ren Feng with a smile.

"Where's Xiao Fei, isn't it your class today? She's late again?"

Ren Feng took out the key in his trouser pocket and walked down the entrance of the underground stairs.

"She She said that she and her boyfriend are still outside and come back later."

Bai Mi explained vaguely. He groped in the dark stairwell, but he couldn't find the switch on the wall. Suddenly, with a click, the red wall lamp on the wall was turned on by Ren Feng's hand.

"Why does she have so many reasons? I have to talk about her when she comes. If she continues to do this in the future, she might as well not use it!"

Ren Feng's tone was a bit irritable, Bai Mi heard this tone, presumably Brother Feng was angry, he pursed his mouth, did not speak, but followed Brother Feng into the bar, threw the dirty backpack into the cabinet, picked it up The rags and trash cans on the empty tray on the ground went out.

"Brother Feng, I'm off to work."

He turned his head and said to the man standing at the bar lighting a cigarette.

"Go, go, several groups of guests came last night, the tables were messed up, and they were not cleaned up. Be quick, save all the cups and leave them for Xiaofei to wash. You cleaned up the tables, and quickly mopped the floor. In the evening, another guest broke the wine glass, and the ground is sticky, it will be bad when the guests come."

Ren Feng sat on the soft chair in the bar with a loud voice, and began to count the money in the cash register with a thick stack of yellow drinks stuck on the iron bars. This was all accounted for a few days ago. After procrastinating and procrastinating until now to settle the accounts, some accounts must have been unclear. Looking at the piles of crumpled bills stained with alcohol, Ren Feng's head began to ache.

On the other side of the dark bar, Bai Mi couldn't see the figure of the boss, but could only catch a trace of white smoke rising into the air. He cursed a few obscene words in his heart, and then shouted a loud yes.

"understood!"

Nineteen o'clock passed, and finally, all the tables in the bar were cleaned up. Those dirty wine bottles, cigarette ash, and food waste were all thrown into the trash can. The mop in the utility room began to clean up the sticky ground under her feet. At this time, Xiao Fei sneaked in. Bai Mi saw her hiding at the door and making gestures for herself. After the short-haired girl understood, she got into the bar in no time.

While dragging the floor, Baimi stretched his neck and looked at the bar, where he saw Brother Feng reprimanding and preaching, while Xiaofei's back was turned to him, Baimi couldn't see Xiaofei's appearance, he was a little worried, but when He saw Xiao Fei approaching Brother Feng suddenly, smiling and reaching out to shake the man's hand, Bai Mi still sighed, and turned to continue working, but soon, when he finished mopping the floor, a woman's body appeared at the door figure.

"welcome!"

At [-]:[-] in the evening, the bar welcomed its first guest tonight.

The two speakers at the bar heard Bai Mi's resonant voice, and turned around to look at the door together.

"Sister Xi, why don't you come to my place today!"

Ren Feng hurriedly walked out of the bar, greeted him with a smile, and then enthusiastically took the handbag handed over by Su Xi and handed it to Xiao Fei at the bar.

"Hi sister Xi, I'm going to wash the cups!"

Su Xi's arrival made Xiao Fei secretly relieved. She put Su Xi's bag away, picked up the plastic basket full of wine glasses on the bar counter, stuck out her tongue and hurried towards the kitchen.

Bai Mi returned the mop to the original place. He saw Brother Feng standing at the bar counter and mixing drinks for that woman. The two of them seemed to be chatting, but they didn't notice his side. After thinking about it, Bai Mi walked into the bar counter and opened all the bars Moving head lights, LED wash lights, turned on the slow rocking music, and then sneaked into the kitchen, he wanted to help Xiao Fei wash the cups.

At [-]:[-], some regular customers came to the bar. Three or four men were going to drink several drafts of black beer and compete around the pool table. It was a very leisurely Sunday night. The boring Ren Feng joined Xiaofei , made a bet with those guests that if they won, the drinks tonight would be free.The bar at this time is very different from the lively and crowded two days ago. Now in the empty basement, only European and American blues can be heard, as well as laughter mixed with the music, and the impact of hard spheres , the sound of wine bottles colliding with each other, perhaps, only the billiards area is the most lively place here.

Standing at the bar counter, Bai Mi wiped the wet glass in his hand with a dry rag, while looking at the pool table in the far distance of the bar, and the people having fun there, he seemed to have forgotten that there was a slightly drunk man sitting on the bar counter. woman.

Jack Daniels in front of Su Xi, in less than an hour, she had already drunk half a bottle of tonic water. At this time, Su Xi's drunkenness began to rise slowly, and her consciousness became a little blurred, but she still wanted to continue drinking Going down, the brown-black liquid shaking in the glass in her hand dyed the transparent ice cubes into a crystal clear brown. Su Xi lay down on the bar counter with a blurred vision, and drank the pure liquid in one gulp.

That's right, Su Xi came here to get drunk today, because she had a fight with Zhou Mi, and Zhou Mi is still fighting with her until now, she doesn't know what else she can do besides drinking.

What's more, Su Xi still doesn't know the source of all these disasters.

Is it because of Tongtong?Or jujube?

she does not know.

In fact, she could have ignored everything, and followed Xizao to Wuzhen according to the original plan. She would have had a wonderful and happy weekend this weekend, but why did she go crazy and preoccupied over small things, and even because of this, Su Xi Paying a heavy price, while losing a beautiful weekend, she couldn't help but quarreled with Mi Da, and in the end she had to choose to sit here alone and drink to get rid of her worries.

Over the years, she always thought that the life that Xiaomi gave her was not what she wanted, and she always found faults in Xiaomi, for example, she didn't like the endless communication at work, and she didn't like the fact that Xiaomi got drunk after socializing. She looks very drunk, she doesn't like to chatter about those youths that never return, she even doesn't like to miss the days when Xizao was still in the bar, even though Su Xi herself is always immersed in the crazy memories of the past , but for some reason she just doesn't like that Xiaomi is doing the same thing as her. She likes that Xiaomi spends most of her time in the company, so that she can no longer play the role of a good wife and mother, because Xiaomi can't see, she likes it Mi often travels for business so that she doesn't have to stay in the dreary home, because then she will send the children to her husband's house, and she can spend more time doing things she wants to do, such as playing pool Bars, such as mahjong all night, such as inviting three or five friends to go to the sauna room for the night.Su Xi has been obsessed with the past days, the past form, and the past state. She has been looking for a kind of fulfillment in life. Since millet can't give it to her, she can create it herself. But it seems that so many years have passed, What she idealized, what she imagined, what she lacked in her current life, she still hasn't found.Su Xi thinks that maybe it's because the past really can't be restored, or maybe it's because her feelings for Mi can't reach the level she thought, so that she needs the fullness of fantasy to fill the thinness of reality. Life will never be monotonous.

Until Su Xi met Xizao again, she was pleasantly surprised to find that suddenly she was so close to her ideal life, only one step away, and she stepped forward excitedly, to put the fleeting moment away. Holding the opportunity firmly in her arms, all the ideal possibilities turned into reality, and everything became natural. In the following days, Su Xi really thought that she had returned to the past, the life she really wanted.

Su Xi thought that this state would continue forever. The harmony and harmony of the three of them came so naturally that there was no need for Su Xi to set up too much foreshadowing and decoration, because she would not interfere with her overly intimate relationship with Xizao, and even Intentionally or unintentionally, she always asks her to increase the chances for the three of them to get together. Of course, Su Xi couldn't wish for it. However, even with the passage of time, Mimi's excessive treatment of her made her discover something. It can't be called a discovery, because as early as at the bar, Su Xi knew clearly that the eyes of the pair of millet looking at Xizao were different, but now she noticed again, after all these years, millet The heart for Zizao is still the same as before, even worse.

She thought she wouldn't care about Xiaomi's inadvertent flaws, just like she thought she never cared about Xiaomi.

However, she was wrong.

These days, in the frequent contact between the three of them, Su Xi's self-righteous indifference gradually turned into another vague emotion. Su Xi would laugh it off every time, but she didn't have as much indifference as she imagined. Unknowingly, bit by bit, they accumulated in the dark corners of her heart and slowly swelled until one day her heart was stretched out of shape. Su Xi didn't notice these at the beginning.

Mi Zi thought that there was no sense of disobedience in all his enthusiastic actions, but Su Xi could always see that he was attentive, caring, and considerate to Xizao.

At the crab feast, it was only because of that small wound, the look on Mi's face, the movements of Mi's hands, the strangeness in Mi's voice, his subtle nervousness, excessive concern, and tough attitude, every detail was the same. He betrayed him.

Until that day, Su Xi finally realized that she had failed, and she couldn't care less.

But where did such a change come from, and when did it start?

These are not important anymore.
