Summer in Hagawa

Because they planned to drink, Ye Shifei took Qiao Min and Ye Chuan directly to the seafood restaurant by taxi.When I entered the box, I saw that Li's whereabouts had already arrived. In addition to a bottle of Napa Valley Chardonnay white wine on the table, there were two bottles of very suspicious white wine.The reason why it is called suspicious is that not only do these two bottles of baijiu have no outer packaging, they don't even have simple trademarks.

Ye Chuan was wondering, when Ye Shifei said with a smile: "I really have to thank my mother and Chuan'er, if it weren't for their favor, would you still have to keep these two bottles of treasure at the bottom of the box?"

Qiao Min also laughed and joked, "What kind of wine is so precious?"

While calling the waiter to arrange an order, Li Xingxing said with a smile: "This is the wine I asked someone to get out of the winery. The strength is almost as high as alcohol, and most people still can't drink it if they want to drink it."

Ye Chuan looked at the white wine in his hand, feeling slightly surprised.In his impression, Li Xingxing has always liked western food and admired red wine, but he has never been seen drinking baijiu.But judging from what he said in these few words, it seems that he has a soft spot for baijiu.What's going on here?

Li Xingxing asked the waiter to bring three small wine cups, poured a few drops into each cup, and said with a smile: "Shi Fei drinks only two taels of baijiu, can Chuan'er drink white wine? Try it first. .”

Ye Chuan picked up the small wine cup and put it under his nose to smell it. A strong aroma of wine came to his nostrils, and his heart immediately itched like a cat's paw.Ye Chuan likes to drink baijiu, but even counting his previous life, the only person who knows about it is Shao Kai.Shao Kai drank with him quite a few times, but unfortunately this man was blind to alcohol, no matter what wine he drank, it tasted the same in his mouth.So Ye Chuan was reluctant to let him spoil any good wine he got once in a while.When the two of them ate together, sometimes Ye Chuan allowed him to drink beer together, sometimes Ye Chuan drank white wine by himself, and Shao Kai would accompany the occasion with a sip of the beer bottle.At that time, Ye Chuan always felt that it was a pity that Shao Kai could not drink liquor.Looking back now, I feel that it would be a real regret if there was no such a person by my side all the time.

Ye Chuan took a sip of the wine, his eyes narrowed involuntarily, he hadn't had such a strong drink for a long time.

Li Xingxing sat aside and watched his reaction, and asked with a smile, "How does Chuan'er feel?"

Ye Chuan pursed his lips and tasted it for a while, and when he looked up and saw Li Xingzong's smiling expression, he subconsciously avoided his gaze, "Have you ever drank it, brother? I think this wine is quite strong."

Qiao Min told him worriedly, "If you can't drink it, don't drink it. Is there anyone else?"

"The dishes haven't been served yet, what kind of wine are you drinking?" Ye Shifei smiled and said, "I said Chuan'er, don't follow whereabouts, he is an old drunk."

"Hurry up and order." Li Xingxing also laughed, "Except for the seafood, I haven't ordered anything else yet. What would Auntie want to eat?"

Ye Chuan held the small wine cup in his hand, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.This private room with a lily pattern, the glass screen in the corner that blocks the entrance to the bathroom, and the baroque iron coat rack behind the door all gave him a feeling of deja vu.It's as if in that previous life, at a time he couldn't remember clearly, Qiao Min also wore the same dark purple dress and sat in the same position, with Li Xingzong and Ye Shifei sitting beside her , the atmosphere at the banquet was completely different from now...

Ye Chuan suddenly felt a little breathless.Maybe it's because this young body has never been in contact with strong alcohol since rebirth, this shallow cup of baijiu made him a little overwhelmed.Maybe that weird feeling of déjà vu was just an illusion caused by his discomfort.

The menu was pushed in front of him, Ye Chuan randomly ordered two cold dishes, and pushed it back in front of Qiao Min.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Ye Chuan felt that the sip of white wine was burning hot in his stomach, and he didn't feel a little dizzy in his head.He looked at the two people sitting facing each other. Their appearance hadn't changed a bit compared to the previous life. Their jokes, smiling and exchanging eyes, some intimate little movements...unknowingly, they were all the same as the picture of the previous life. overlapped.Ye Chuan couldn't help feeling an illusion in his heart, as if after going around in a big circle with all his energy, he fell back into the same situation again.Like a hopeless bystander, loving hopelessly, waiting for the same end to happen again.

Li Xingzhang poured white wine into Ye Chuan's wine cup, and said considerately, "They say it's better to drink some white wine when eating seafood. If Chuan'er can't stand sorghum wine, drink white wine with Auntie."

Ye Shifei hurriedly picked up some food for him, muttering and complaining, "Oh, whereabouts, you have really brought my brother into trouble. You wait for me to go home and clean you up."

What this said...was more than a hint.Fortunately, Qiao Min's attention was attracted by the salmon just brought to the table, so she didn't pay attention to Ye Shifei's last words.

But because of these words, Ye Chuan suddenly remembered the feeling of deja vu. Why did he come here?They did meet up here once.It was still Ye Chuan's first year at work, and Qiao Min heard the rumors about Ye Chuan and Li's whereabouts from somewhere, and rushed to City B angrily, and slapped Ye Chuan on the face as soon as they met.

That was the first time Qiao Min hit him.Her hands were not strong, but Ye Chuan still remembered the burning pain on her cheek.He had forgotten how Li Xingxing explained it. He only remembered that Qiao Min left crying in the end.Ever since he was brought back to Ye's house, Qiao Min had never been close to him, but she had never really treated him as an outsider.That time, Ye Chuan really broke her heart.

Ye Chuan picked up the wine cup, raised his head and drank the sorghum wine in the cup.From the mouth to the stomach, it was like a line of fire was ignited immediately, it was hot, and the internal organs felt like they were burning.In the depths of the memory, those images that have happened before and are happening now, similar but different, are intertwined, ups and downs in the countercurrent of time.

Ye Chuan felt that he was going to get drunk.But obviously, tonight's welcome banquet has just begun.He said excuse me, took the cigarette and went to the corridor.When the door of the box was closed, Qiao Min's voice was heard complaining: "Xiao Chuan was taught to be bad by you, did you hide somewhere and smoke for him to see..."

Perhaps remembering what happened last time here, Ye Chuan suddenly felt a little guilty towards Qiao Min.Qiao Min treated him very well.Although she can't take care of others, she has never shorted him for anything in life.

Ye Chuan put the cigarette case into the pocket of his trousers, and went to the bathroom with his head down.

Feeling dizzy, Ye Chuan leaned against the partition door, closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead.He thought it was kind of... weird that he was hiding in the bathroom waiting to sober up.But he had no other choice than that.You can't stand stupidly in the corridor, and you can't just throw your hands and go home by yourself.

He knew that everything he got had to be paid for, and this rule naturally included a new life.Maybe the price he has to pay is having to bear the memory of two lifetimes.Even though he reminded himself repeatedly that everything has started all over again, the imprints imprinted in his heart: loved, hated, received tenderness, and inflicted harm are still vividly there.

Even though he got back into his young body, his soul still carried the shackles.

Ye Chuan took out the cigarette case from his pocket again, and was about to light a cigarette when he heard a soft knock on the door outside, and two people walked in one after the other.

A man's voice asked slightly drunk: "What do you want to say?"

"I...I just want to ask...what's wrong with me?" The young man's voice stammered, and through a door, Ye Chuan could almost imagine his look full of expectations but unable to hide his sadness.

Just like myself back then.
