your taste [OAO]

It's eleven o'clock, and the shops in the pedestrian street are not required to close, but the speakers are no longer allowed.

"Auntie, shall I go first?" After the music stopped, the waitress told the proprietress to leave.

"Okay, you go back first." The proprietress began to pack things.

It was deserted all night, and there was nothing to clean up in the shop.

There were still one and a half customers, and the shopkeeper didn't drive them away.

The little brother was playing with his mobile phone at the side, but when he saw Du Yiting coming down, he also pulled a stool and sat down.

"Thank you for joining me." The younger brother clinked glasses with Lin Nan and Du Yiting with his thermos, the water in the thermos was still steaming.

Lin Nan and Du Yiting responded with wine.

"Would you like to bring an extra cup to drink with?" Lin Nan didn't mind sharing the pot of wine with one more person.

"No, he doesn't drink." Du Yiting answered for the little brother first.

"Huh?" Lin Nan was a little puzzled.

The little brother smiled and pointed his index finger at his throat: "Don't smoke, don't drink, protect your throat."

They were also singing, Du Yiting refilled his and Lin Nan's wine and drank half a glass again.

"What about you?" Lin Nan asked Du Yiting, "Smoking and drinking, don't you need to protect your throat?"

Lin Nan had seen Du Yiting smoke and drink skillfully before, and thought they didn't need to pay special attention to these.After all, he had seen some information about rock or folk singers on the Internet before, and there were not a few people who smoked and drank.

What the little brother said aroused Lin Nan's doubts.

"I don't need it, my voice has been ruined long ago." Du Yiting smiled casually, with an indifferent attitude.

As if to prove that he didn't care, he took out another cigarette from his coat pocket and lit it.

Lin Nan didn't quite understand what Du Yiting said.

On the one hand, he doesn't want to ask too much, whether smoking or drinking is the singer's own choice.

On the other hand, Lin Nan is very tolerant of all kinds of voices, and thinks that the voices of tobacco, alcohol and vicissitudes are equally attractive.

So after listening to Du Yiting's answer, he just said: "No, you still sing very well."

"Does it sound good?" Du Yiting asked.

Lin Nan nodded sincerely.

Du Yiting hooked the corners of his mouth, and the smoke leaked out from the gap between his slightly parted lips, and then he took another puff, turning his head and spitting it out to a corner where no one was around.

The looming smoke deepened the blur of the night.

The little brother looked at Lin Nan, then at Du Yiting, and suddenly asked, "Boyfriend?"

Lin Nan was a little surprised: "No."

It seems that the relationship between these two good friends is not very good, right?

Don't you even know if the other party has a boyfriend or girlfriend?

"Don't talk nonsense," Du Yiting pulled the cigarette out of his mouth with two fingers, and smiled helplessly, "He is the carpool kid I told you yesterday."

Child?Lin Nan quickly had doubts about this title.

The little brother raised his head and said, with surprise and sudden realization in his voice: "It's him?"

"En." The cigarette in Du Yiting's hand was spontaneously igniting, and the ash was thrown into the ashtray in time when it was about to fall to the ground.

"Then you two are destined." The little brother laughed a few times.

The little brother's appearance is much warmer than Du Yiting's, his facial features are soft, and his appearance reminds Lin Nan of a courier he met when he went out in the morning. The braces of the little brother are the sign that Lin Nan distinguishes him from the courier.

The younger brother's smile makes people feel like being in the crowd.

"Yes." Lin Nan was willing to admit his fate with Du Yiting.

Lin Nan went to the bathroom.

When he came back, the younger brother and Du Yiting were chatting about work, but Lin Nan didn't try to interrupt the topic.

"The wallpaper I bought has arrived, but it hasn't been posted yet," said the younger brother.

"Did you get the shelves?" Du Yiting asked.

"I have placed things, but there is another one that is not installed. Will you come over to help later?" the little brother said.

"Well, later." Du Yiting said.

After Du Yiting's little cigarette on the ashtray was burned out, the conversation resumed as a conversation between three people.

"Do you usually like to go clubbing?" The younger brother asked while holding the thermos bottle in both hands.

"It's my first time to come to a bar." Lin Nan replied.

The little brother was stunned for a moment, lost his answer for a while, raised his eyes and looked at Du Yiting suspiciously.

Seeing the look in the younger brother's eyes, Du Yiting, who was drinking, was even more confused than the younger brother.

"Haven't you ever been to any bar?" The little brother who didn't get an answer asked again.

"Yeah." Lin Nan responded.

"Then came here for the first time today, how do you feel?" The little brother looked at Lin Nan's eyes and there was no change because Lin Nan came here for the first time.

"It's very interesting." Lin Nan sipped his drink in a relaxed manner, "It's quieter than expected."

Quiet is not a word used to praise a bar. To praise the quietness of a store is like saying it is deserted, but in fact the store is indeed deserted.

"The business in the pedestrian street is like this. Sometimes there are many people, sometimes there are few people. Last night, the store was full of people and it was very lively. Today, there are fewer customers." The younger brother said.

"After the summer vacation, there will be fewer people." Du Yiting said.

"Are students the main source of customers?" Lin Nan used to think that bars are places where social people gather, which is completely different from schools.

"Many college students like to go to bars." The little brother smiled, and from the questions Lin Nan asked, it was indeed clear that Lin Nan was a person who didn't hang out often.

"There are also teachers and parents, and there is no time to play after school starts." Du Yiting added.

"Teacher's parents?" Lin Nan repeated.

"It's not surprising," Du Yiting said. "Before their occupations and identities, they are adults with normal needs."

This sentence is quite high-level, Lin Nan looked at him and nodded seriously, and the focus of his mind couldn't help but shift to the normal needs of adults.

Which needs?

Lin Nan refrained from asking.

"Then do you still want to come over to play tomorrow?" The little brother asked a question and brought the topic back to the original track.

Lin Nan didn't think about the future.

He only has class in the afternoon tomorrow, but he has morning class the day after tomorrow. It's okay to stay up late or risk skipping class, but...it's not necessary.

From next week, Lin Nan will probably start busy with his studies, and may even participate in a competition.

"No, I'm going to be busy next time." Lin Nan declined.

"There are a lot of interesting things on the pedestrian street, drinking and listening to music," the younger brother continued to persuade, "For him, come and play more."

Of course he was referring to Du Yiting.

The little brother's persuasion does not seem to be to solicit business, he is quite sincere, but the more sincere, the more Lin Nanyue doesn't know how to answer.

Besides, Lin Nan thought that even if he came a few more times, he and Du Yiting would not be able to develop any relationship.

Lin Nan smiled politely, neither agreeing nor refusing.

But the silence of adults is often a kind of rejection.

In fact, the three people sitting around are not very talkative people.

Or maybe everyone is tired, and no one wants to be the one who goes out of their way to maintain the topic.

Sometimes they chat, sometimes they are silent, they look at their phones and then at each other, occasionally lost in thought.

Calculated carefully, the time of silence may be more than the time of dialogue.

The little brother has already started to keep his head down and play with his mobile phone. Sitting next to him is no different from being invisible.

Lin Nan and Du Yiting didn't touch their phones.

Most of Lin Nan's eyes still fell on Du Yiting, and Du Yiting occasionally looked at Lin Nan.

"Playing dice?" Du Yiting asked.

"I won't." Lin Nan said honestly.

Sometimes he has to admit that he is a very boring person, with few hobbies and specialties, and not good at socializing.

"I'll teach you, it's very simple." Du Yiting didn't mind.

"Okay." Lin Nan didn't resist accepting new things.

Du Yiting went to the front desk of the bar and took two dice cups.

"You just played, it's not that difficult, let's play with three dice first." Du Yiting put the dice cup on the table.

"Yeah." Lin Nan had never played before, so Du Yiting did whatever he said.

Du Yiting took out two dice from the two dice cups and put them on the table, and put one of the dice cups in front of Lin Nan.

"I'll shake it first." Du Yiting picked up the dice cup casually, shook it a few times, and only opened a little gap towards himself, allowing himself to see the numbers inside, "I'll count, three 3s, Counting what you and I added, 3 can be any number."

"If you don't believe me, you can just say it. If you believe me, then you can report the number down, and you can only say the big one, four 4s or five 3s, whatever."

"I don't understand." Lin Nan didn't sound like he felt the fun of playing dice, "So I don't need to shake it, do I?"

"You have to shake it, and you have to watch it after shaking it, but you can't show it to me." Du Yiting said.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes," Lin Nan reacted, "It is to add up the numbers of the two of us to report the number."

"Yes." Du Yiting nodded.

Lin Nan also put the lid on the cup, shook it casually a few times, and took a look.

1. 5. 3.

Cover.

"The person who shouted didn't reach the actual number, or the driver did, so he was about to drink."

"Yeah." Lin Nan nodded hesitantly.

"You'll understand after just playing around." Du Yiting thought it was a bit amused to see Lin Nan's serious expression, "Don't be nervous."

"Okay." Lin Nan smiled, reached out and rubbed his arms.

The night was getting a bit chilly, Du Yiting was only wearing a thin shirt just now, he didn't feel cold when he finished singing, and the chill gradually came after he sat down.

He put on the coat that he took off and put aside before, and asked Lin Nan again: "Is it cold?"

"It's okay." Lin Nan's clothes are not too thick, but a little bit cold, which is still within the acceptable range.

"Just tell me a number," Du Yiting said, "or, if you don't believe me, just drive."

"What was the number you reported just now?" Lin Nan tried his best to digest the rules Du Yiting said.

"Three threes." Du Yiting replied.

"Five threes." Lin Nan said a number casually.

"Do you have so many 3s?" Du Yiting showed a little puzzled expression, and smiled again, "If you don't believe me, open it."

Du Yiting opened his dice cup: 2. 3. 3.

"You want to drive too." Du Yiting reminded, "How many 3s do you have?"

Lin Nan opened the dice cup: "1."

"Two," Du Yiting corrected, "2 also counts, it counts as any number. But we add up to four 1s. You lose, take a sip."

"Can I drink as much as I want?" Lin Nan didn't care about the outcome or how much he drank, he just felt that if they drank too much, there would be no fun for the two of them.

"Just drink a little." Du Yiting still remembered that Lin Nan said he didn't drink.

Lin Nan was willing to admit defeat, and took a sip of the wine glass to his lips: "Okay, continue?"

Du Yiting shook the dice cup again, and also opened the lid to face himself: "This time you talk first."

"Okay," Lin Nan shook his head again.

Before he opened the dice cup, he smiled again: "Actually, I think I can drink quite well."

Du Yiting didn't speak, but doubts were written in his eyes.

"I drank wine with my friends a few times before. The first time I drank beer, the second time I drank soju. I drank half a bottle of soju. I was not drunk, but I was a little bit high." Lin Nan said frankly that he drinking experience.

"Oh," Du Yiting didn't seem to care too much about Lin Nan's drinking capacity. Anyway, he thought drinking green plum wine shouldn't make you drunk, "You haven't opened it yet."

He is more involved in playing dice than Lin Nan.

After playing dice, Lin Nan still didn't feel how interesting it was.

But it's really easy to get started.

It consumes more wine and less time.

In less than half an hour, half the jug of wine was gone, and the dice game lost its meaning.

The two returned to the state of not being able to talk.

Lin Nan looked at the time, it was already 11:30, and it seemed pointless to stay any longer.

"I want to go back." Lin Nan tilted his head to relieve the fatigue in his neck.

"Is it so early?" Du Yiting also glanced at the time on the phone.

"It's getting late, it's 11:30." Lin Nan was usually fast asleep by this time.

"Shall I see you off?" Du Yiting asked.

From Lin Nan's point of view, Du Yiting asked this question rather strangely.

"If you want to give it away, you can give it away. If you don't want to give it away, don't give it away. It's up to you." Lin Nan said.

Du Yiting thought seriously for two or three seconds: "Send it off, I'll take you to the pedestrian street at night."

"Okay." Lin Nan said.
