Jie Qingsi [Bar]

Next to the bar, in a dimly lit corner.

Gu Lian took her first glass of wine tonight, bowed her head in silence, frowned slightly, her white and thin neck stretched a bit, and her indistinct Adam's apple slid twice.

Drink it quickly.

When the cup was put back, he padded it with his little finger and placed it on the smooth table, but he still didn't say anything.

The bar owner and tonight's bartender, Wen Ya, looked at her somewhat depressed expression without any trace, and said indifferently: "Strong?"

Gu Lian licked the sweet taste on the tip of her lower lip, and nodded silently.

When the cup was pushed over again, Wen Ya asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

In the late summer and early autumn, it was still hot and muggy, and the bar was open in the old street. It had just rained a little, and the air was stuffy.

Most of the people who come to this les bar on Saturday night are looking for someone to relax for the night, and they all dress up cool and eye-catching in order to catch the one they like.

Only Gu Lian, uncharacteristically, put on a gray unremarkable sports shirt, his long hair was loosely tied into a bun, and his makeup was a bit messy, a little messy and pale.

Gu Lian is Wen Ya's old guest, a postgraduate student of University H, the campus is nearby, and he has been here twice a week for two or three years. Although he is not familiar with him, he can still ask these basic concerns.

Gu Lian didn't respond immediately, she took a small sip, and the knuckles holding the glass wall turned slightly white. The wine was too strong, and she couldn't drink it.

She is very indifferent and doesn't care much about the things around her. Wen Ya is aware of this, and she doesn't blame her for being rude, she waits patiently for others to finish drinking.

Gu Lian's cold and pale cheeks were slightly flushed, and when he put down the cup, his eyes lost focus for a moment, and his movements were still gentle and restrained. After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "She's married."

Wen Ya nodded knowingly.

Noticing that under Gu Lian's coat was a glossy and delicate long skirt, the style was dignified and decent, and he thought to himself that this person might just come here to get drunk and soothe his worries just after attending the wedding.

A girl who has been in unrequited love for ten years and her first boyfriend has completed a long-distance love race and formed a family. At this time, they are probably in love.

Even thinking about it made her feel bored, let alone Gu Lian herself.

Just as Wen Ya was about to say a few words of comfort, a guest came from the other side.

She went over to greet her, leaving Gu Lian sitting alone, her thin and fair skin was reflected in deep and shallow blue by the neon light, as if sinking in the flowing sea water.

Not long after Gu Lian sat alone, a glass of wine was slowly brought in front of her. The clean and sweet raspberry scent permeated, intertwined and permeated into her skin. It was clearly a harmless smell, but it made her feel uncomfortable.

Eyebrows tightened, looked up, saw Wen Ya smiled and whispered: "Someone invited you."

Gu Lian looked in the direction she indicated.

The woman was wearing a soft white dress with suspenders. She was slender and thin, with blue silk bundled on her slender back. Under the veil-like moonlight, she exuded a gentle and calm fairy air, which was incompatible with the treacherous and charming atmosphere behind her.

She has a high degree of prescription, and she took out her contact lenses before coming here, and didn't bother to take out the glasses from her bag, so she squinted perfunctorily, and then looked away.

Said to Wen Ya: "I don't like this wine."

The wine has been made, and there is no reason to withdraw it.

Wen Ya's little fingertip pressed against the wall of the cup and pushed it towards her hand, with a special meaning: "It's time for you to change the taste."

The old street is in the center of the city, and the signboard of the bar has been posted in the circle early, so there are not a few people who come here to hunt.yan.

The people around Gu Lian come and go, even Wen Ya can tell the truth, the identity and temper of the one-night partner are secondary, the most important thing is to be like the person she has a crush on.

Although Wen Ya had never seen that person before, she could roughly piece together a vague image.

And this guest has no similarities in appearance or temperament.

But because of this difference, Gu Lian was able to take this opportunity to come out completely.

Unexpectedly, Gu Lian ignored people and wine, and felt the woman's quiet, soft and contemplative eyes burning slightly, enveloping her for a moment, binding her like dense silk, made her more uncomfortable.

Lowering her voice, she gave Wen Ya some advice, got up, and left without looking back.

Facing Wen Ya's apologetic eyes, An Yuanqing accepted a stack of banknotes and coins, counted them carefully, and found that it was exactly the price of that glass of wine, and couldn't help laughing.

When most people encounter this kind of thing, they would invite a glass of wine to chat with each other, or transfer money in person to leave their contact information. She did this so straightforwardly that she didn't spare any sympathy.

Do you hate contact with yourself so much?

The old bartender came over to take over.

Wen Ya took a leisurely break, sat opposite her, took advantage of the darkness to absorb the disappointment in her eyes, tapped the table with her fingertips, and said calmly: "Find someone to go to the house at the entrance of the alley to clean up, is this your first time here?" ?”

There are many bars on the old street, and the one at the alley is exclusively for les, because the environment is quiet and elegant, which is completely opposite to here. Find Yan. Yu.

Don’t rely on feelings, if this one doesn’t work, just change to another one. Most people are looking for excitement and novelty, and don’t want to make troubles, so they rarely exchange contact information. .

For example, this person in front of me, dressed in elegant and well-mannered manners, plus he is eye-catching, has been here for a long time, and has been sitting alone on the edge of the bar, not far away, and several people have come to strike up a conversation, but they are all warmed by her gentleness. Firmly refused, the intention is self-evident.

An Yuanqing's red lips parted, bent slightly for a long time, the slightly surprised light in his eyes settled down, and said in a gentle voice: "I have never been here before, I came with her."

Fate is also a wonderful thing. She is a friend and colleague of the groom. She was attending the wedding and was listening to the host of ceremonies. A few tables away, she happened to see this girl.

Sandalwood brown long hair, porcelain white skin, under the flickering lights, flowing crystal clear glass color.

There is a distant and blurred light in the eyes, resigned and independent.

After the wedding banquet was over, she came to the girl's neighborhood by a strange coincidence. With her height advantage, she happened to catch a glimpse of the girl's mobile phone to locate this bar, got into a taxi, so she secretly wrote down the name and drove here.

"I don't even know her name." After observing just now, An Yuanqing knew that the girl had a very close relationship with the person in front of him, so he didn't hold back, and briefly explained the story.

After saying that, he felt that his behavior was a bit like stalking, so he smiled shyly.

In fact, after she entered the bar and discovered the girl's orientation, there was still a hint of joy.

However, I didn't expect the girl's attitude to be so repulsive. I didn't know what to do for a while, so I wanted to ask the person in front of me for help.

"She is... our logistics here, part-time job." Wen Ya thought about it, half false and half true: "College student."

Once when the ice machine was about to open, the ice machine broke down, and she and several of her staff couldn't understand it.

It happened that Gu Lian came early and helped to adjust according to the manual, and repaired it before opening, which was a great help.

At that time, about two years ago, she and Gu Lian were only acquainted with each other, and after asking more questions out of curiosity, they realized that he was a top student of H University, an ace major in engineering. Small problems are easily solved.

She wanted to thank him, but Gu Lian refused, so she secretly waived his room fee. Unexpectedly, Gu Lian found out and helped replace the old light bulb.

There are back and forth.

The employees at the bottom formed a habit, and unless it was an emergency, they would save up for Gu Lian to ask for help when he came to the store, ranging from the cash register going crazy to assembling the wine rack.

Gu Lian doesn't talk much, but she does things very neatly, often standing there silently reading the manual.

Wen Ya looked at something that looked like a book without words, but it was as plain as a children's picture book in her hands, and it was easy to solve.

It stands to reason that Gu Lian should get along well with the employees in the store, but it is strange that she has an aura that cannot be friends with, coupled with the aura of a schoolmaster, although everyone likes her, they seldom get to know her deeply.

Up to now, Gu Lian’s note on Wen Ya’s mobile phone is still “rear logistics”. She jokingly showed it to Gu Lian, but the other party just pursed the corners of her lips, and said with a faint smile: “The logistics responsibilities are a bit wrong.”

An Yuanqing is a very friendly person, with distinct and three-dimensional facial features, not eye-catching and outstanding beauty, but when he smiles, a pair of black jade-like eyes melt away the warmth, and the shallow crystal-like water light flows, thick curls The curled eyelashes fluttered up and down, and the willow eyebrows fluttered, revealing a different kind of seductive style.

It is reminiscent of the young woman who passed by the old shop on the corner when traveling in the ancient city. The clothes are embroidered with the patterns of years, and the whole body is covered with hazy smoke. In the blink of an eye, it disappears in the distant cloud-shrouded Daishan, leaving an infinite space. The aftertaste and reluctance.

Although we only chatted for a short while, Wen Ya already had a good impression of her, and seeing the smile on her face, she couldn't help but say a few more words.

The customer flow in the store reached its peak in the evening, and the bartender was too busy alone, so Wen Ya greeted An Yuanqing and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, An Yuanqing stopped her eagerly, but still spoke softly: "Can you give me her contact information?"

For a moment, Wen Ya seemed to be possessed by her, she remained silent and hesitated.

In the end, the principle prevailed, and he shook his head and said, "She comes on a regular basis on Saturday night, and she comes once from Monday to Friday, and the time is relatively late. If you pass by the alley after get off work, you see a dark green mountain bike parked outside, Enode, she at."

To be so clear, I did my best.

An Yuanqing didn't make things difficult for her, nodded his thanks, pursed his lips, and the strange color flashed across his eyes, as if he was talking to himself: "Mountain bike..."

Wen Ya knew how surprised she was. After all, she thought Gu Lian was the kind of innocent and obedient girl who was easy to control at first, which meant a lot: "She is a little different from what you think."

In the following time, An Yuanqing came more frequently than Wen Ya imagined, a bit like a squat.

He drove over right after work from the company. He was wearing a light-colored suit and didn't look for anyone else. He just ordered a non-alcoholic drink and asked Wen Ya about Gu Lian's situation, likes and dislikes. He seemed to be serious about chasing him.

Wen Ya also learned about An Yuanqing's basic situation.

Three or four years older than Gu Lian, he works as a department supervisor in a foreign-funded manufacturing company in the industrial park.

A local with a good family background, her parents are very open-minded and have bought a house and a car for her in advance, so she drives from the industrial area back to her home in the city center every night.

"Hasn't she ever had a girlfriend?" An Yuanqing sat down at a seat not far from the bar tonight, next to Wen Ya who was the hands-off shopkeeper: "Why?"

Wen Ya murmured for a while, not because she wanted to show off, but because most people would quit when they learned that their object of pursuit had been in unrequited love for ten years.

She also had selfish intentions and wanted to help Gu Lian, so she concealed it.

When he was hesitating, he saw Gu Lian's black shadow appearing in the dim place.
