Chen Yang sat at the outermost table close to the road, looking at the street lamps that were a bit dim surrounded by smoke, the air was mixed with the aroma of various cooking dishes, and when mixed together, only the pungent spicy smell remained.Xia Yuanzhou said to stay away from the lampblack, otherwise he would have to take a bath again when he went back.

So you still have to go back and take a shower again.

The people who come here to eat are all from the nearby construction site. Xia Yuanzhou told him that it is very simple to see the position of a person on the construction site, with a hat on his head.

The general workers are yellow or red, and the other positions are white hats.

There were a few wearing white hats sitting at the table in front of him. Even if you don't look at the hats, you can tell them by just looking at the clothes.

The people at the table to his right were well dressed, but they could be seen by their demeanor at a glance. They were workers; there was a case of beer under the table and they were drinking and talking incomprehensible words very loudly.

But Xia Yuanzhou couldn't see this kind of trace on his body. When Xia Yuanzhou first told him that he was working on the construction site, he thought he was joking with him. How could this person work on the construction site.

Xia Yuanzhou returned to his seat after ordering, and glanced at the table next to him.

"Have you ever had beer?" Xia Yuanzhou asked.

"No." Chen Yang shook his head.

"Then drink some." Xia Yuanzhou raised his thumb and pointed to the side, "Ice beer with stir-fried vegetables is the taste of life."

Chen Yang had never drunk alcohol, not even alcoholic beverages.

He is allergic to alcohol.

When Xia Yuanzhou said that cold beer with stir-fried vegetables is the taste of life, he suddenly wanted to drink some.

He didn't tell Xia Yuanzhou that when the beer flowed down his throat and into his stomach, he couldn't help shivering. The bitter taste filled his mouth and then slowly faded away.

The taste of life must be bitter, Chen Yang thought.

"The boss's grilled fish is a must," Xia Yuanzhou took apart the disposable chopsticks and picked a piece of fish for Chen Yang.

At this time, it was probably the peak time for their meals. Several people came across the road one after another. When they got closer, Chen Yang felt a little familiar.

It was the ones squatting in the wasteland in the morning.

Chen Yang softly called Xia Yuanzhou: "Brother, those people are here too."

Xia Yuanzhou took a sip of his wine and didn't look back.

"I know." Xia Yuanzhou said, "When we came, they were sitting on the concrete pier at the intersection in front of us."

"Why didn't I find out?" Chen Yang picked out the fishbone, "They won't be following us, right?"

Xia Yuanzhou stopped raising his head to drink and looked down at him.

"Did you covet our beauty?" Xia Yuanzhou said.

"Do you want face?" Chen Yang said, "Then why are they there wherever we go?"

"They didn't come to look for us," Xia Yuanzhou put down the bottle and pointed to one side.

Chen Yang looked in the direction of his finger.

"Him?" Chen Yang asked in surprise, "What did Huang Mao do?"

"I don't know." Xia Yuanzhou picked up the bottle and took a sip of wine, "Don't always look there, lest those people fall in love with you because of your sincere eyes."

"Can you talk?!" Chen Yang stared at him.

Xia Yuanzhou smiled and said: "Look here, squatting at this small table to eat, no matter how much money you have, whether you have a high position or a low position, you should lower your figure and squat to eat."

Chen Yang got himself a glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp. Bitterness rushed from his throat to his mouth. He frowned and didn't speak.

"Hey, Yuanzhou." Suddenly a hand was put on his shoulder.

Xia Yuanzhou turned his head to look, and smiled: "Brother Bao."

Li Yunbao nodded at Chen Yang, and sat down politely.

"Did you just come?" Xia Yuanzhou said, "How about we come together?"

Li Yunbao took a bottle of wine and pried off the lid with chopsticks, and took a sip.

"I just came back from eating, and I saw you here, so I came over to talk to you."

"Oh." Xia Yuanzhou said, "Tell me something?"

Li Yunbao raised his head and took a big gulp of wine, then sighed comfortably.

"Ice beer is cool." Li Yunbao said, "I just had dinner with Supervisor Cui of the company."

"Yeah." Xia Yuanzhou picked up a fish with chopsticks.

"Are you interested?" Li Yunbao suddenly said without thinking.

"Huh?" Xia Yuanzhou said, "What?"

"There is a project." Li Yunbao said, "I think you can try it."

Xia Yuanzhou froze for a moment, contracting projects had certain risks. Although he was doing this business, he didn't understand the twists and turns. Even if a piece of fat fell out in front of his eyes, he still had to consider how to pick it up.

"What kind?" Xia Yuanzhou took a sip of his wine.

"Interior decoration," Li Yunbao said, "the company pays 100. I don't mainly do interior work. I think you can. You decide what price you will pay the workers."

"How many squares?" Xia Yuanzhou glanced at Chen Yang, he actually got drunk on his face, his face was so red that it could be seen in this dim light.

"15." Li Yunbao said, "I'll do the math for you, it's not bad."

"Where is it?" Xia Yuanzhou calculated the total price of the project and was a little moved.

"Zhuhui's side." Li Yunbao said, "Don't rush to give me an answer, the project over there is not in a hurry right now. When Lao Cui told me, I will answer for you first. It doesn't matter if you don't want to do it. .”

"Yes." Xia Yuanzhou said, "Thank you brother."

"Hey, thank you." Li Yunbao laughed, "My brother."

After Li Yunbao left, Xia Yuanzhou drank heavily. The price Li Yunbao said was actually quite attractive, but he had no idea.

"Brother," Chen Yang called him, "Do you want to go to the project that uncle mentioned just now?"

Xia Yuanzhou froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Did I act so obviously?"

"No," Chen Yang said, "You don't seem to think much about it, but your behavior tells me that your heart is moved."

"Yeah." Xia Yuanzhou said, "If there were no pitfalls, I could earn millions in the entire construction period."

Chen Yang had a belch, just after listening to Xia Yuanzhou's talk, he kept on drinking, and now he feels light-headed.

"Why did he give it to you?" Chen Yang asked.

"Ah?" Xia Yuanzhou looked at him, Chen Yang might be drunk, his eyes were a little dazed, he didn't expect to be drunk with beer.

Looking at the empty bottles on the table, Xia Yuanzhou couldn't laugh or cry, this kid didn't know how to drink and still drank so much.

"You're drunk." Xia Yuanzhou said, "You can't drink enough."

"No." Chen Yang said with a smile, "I just blushed a little, and my mind is clear."

"Oh, is that so?" Xia Yuanzhou said with a smile, "Eat something, let's go back."

"Why did he give it to you?" Chen Yang repeated.

"What?" Xia Yuanzhou said, "There's no reason for it. Maybe my brother and I have a charismatic personality."

"Oh." Chen Yang picked up the bottle and wanted to drink again, but Xia Yuanzhou stopped him.

"Are you still drinking?" Xia Yuanzhou stared at him, "Eat, get a good sleep when you go back."

Chen Yang looked at him without speaking or moving.Xia Yuanzhou was a little helpless, took the wine bottle in his hand, and pushed the rice in front of him.

"Eat, even a few bites are fine."

Chen Yang was not drunk, except for his hot skin, his mind was clearer than ever. When Li Yunbao saw Xia Yuanzhou's eyes, he suddenly felt a little awkward. Why did he give it to him specially?Why take special care of him?

He was caught in this mood and didn't care what his awkward mood was.

After eating, he felt as if he had been rolled in their frying pan, and he smelled of oil, and he still needed to take a bath; when he returned to the dormitory and lay down on the bed, he didn't want to move at all, but his whole body The smell of alcohol and oily smoke made his stomach queasy, and he sat up after resting for a short while with his eyes closed.

The fat man in the dormitory wore earphones and didn't know what he was looking at, with a very complicated expression on his face.

I wanted to take off my clothes, but in the end I didn't move.

When Xia Yuanzhou came back from the shower, his hair was dripping with water and a large area of ​​his clothes was wet.

"Why are you sitting here?" Xia Yuanzhou took a towel from the upper bunk and wiped his hair.

"Smell." Chen Yang looked at him, his eyes moved from his face to the clothes on his chest.

"Then go take a shower." Xia Yuanzhou sat on the bed.

"I don't want to move." Chen Yang said.

"Then change it." Xia Yuanzhou tore off the corner of his clothes.

Chen Yang held his hand, glared at him, and looked towards the fat man.

"Let's go to the store." Xia Yuanzhou patted his shoulder.

"Why go?" Chen Yang was puzzled.

Xia Yuanzhou stood up, gave him a hand, and walked to the door as if thinking of something, and said to him, "Have you taken the medicine?"

"No," Chen Yang said, "Come back and eat."

"Take the medicine first." Xia Yuanzhou said.

Chen Yang didn't understand why Xia Yuanzhou asked him to take medicine first when he went to a store, but he did it anyway.At night, the living area regained its popularity. Those who went to take a bath with a bucket, those who came back from the bath, those who squatted in the open space and chatted, and those who stood in the corner and chatted on the phone... It was quite a breath of life, and Chen Yang suddenly thought of this word in his mind.

He followed Xia Yuanzhou, avoiding the dripping clothes on his head, and passed by the brightly lit doors, just like he used to pass through brightly lit classrooms for self-study last night, but there was no rejection, no fear, except A little dazed and calm inside.

The store is not big, and there are a lot of people here. The crowd is a bit like queuing up to go back to the classroom during morning exercises. Chen Yang suddenly felt a little nervous. He was crowded in the crowd and didn't know where to move his legs.

"Is there a bed curtain?" Xia Yuanzhou called to the proprietress after entering the store.

The proprietress pointed to him at the innermost shelf and said, "The innermost shelf, you can see for yourself."

Xia Yuanzhou took his hand, smiled at him and said, "Inside."

The innermost shelf sells daily necessities and is very cool.

"Okay, relax." Xia Yuanzhou patted him on the back, bent down to look for something on the shelf.

Chen Yang stared at him blankly for a while, then asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Bed curtain." Xia Yuanzhou straightened up and looked at him.

"Bed curtain?" Chen Yang said, "You hang it on the bed?"

"Tsk." Xia Yuanzhou said, "Don't hang it on the bed, hang it on your body? Help me find it quickly."

Chen Yang seemed to come back to his senses, laughed, and looked at the shelves.

The two stood in front of the shelf and found the bed curtain, but this color...pink roses, two hearts with an arrow on a string, big bright flowers...none of them had a normal color.

"Why don't you choose one?" Xia Yuanzhou turned his head to look at Chen Yang and said.

"No, you choose." Chen Yang refused.

"I'm not good at aesthetics," Xia Yuanzhou said, "not as good as you."

"Don't be modest." Chen Yang said, "Your stupid T-shirt is very aesthetic."

Xia Yuanzhou took a deep breath and hesitated for a few seconds as he touched the pile of bed curtains.

"That's it."

Large lilac flowers.

It looks better than other colors, at least with green leaves.

The two of them dawdled in the last shelf for a long time. If Xia Yuanzhou didn't know the proprietress well, they probably would have sent someone to guard it here.Almost all the people left at this meeting, only two or three people waiting for the boiled instant noodles were left.

Xia Yuanzhou took the bed curtain and put it on the cash register, and said a little unnaturally, "How much?"

The proprietress took it and scanned it: "20."

"Well, let's take two bottles of water by the way." Xia Yuanzhou took out his phone, "Together."

The proprietress glanced at Chen Yang behind Xia Yuanzhou, and said to him, "You don't have a girlfriend yet, do you?"

Xia Yuanzhou was stunned after scanning the QR code, and paid.

"Are you introducing a girlfriend?" Xia Yuanzhou asked.

The proprietress laughed, took out the phone from the side, unlocked it, clicked on the photo album, and approached Xia Yuanzhou.

"I won't introduce you to those who are not pretty." The proprietress said, "College students, I don't have anything to say about my family background. My parents have several hotels in our city. I really like you, so I told you."

Xia Yuanzhou glanced at the photo and nodded: "Well, it's pretty."

"Right." The proprietress was a little proud, "How is it? The girl's parents are very satisfied with your appearance."

Xia Yuanzhou was almost choked to death by saliva, he stared at the proprietress with wide eyes, and said incredulously, "Have you seen me?"

"Hey, I took a photo of you," the proprietress didn't feel embarrassed at all, she took her mobile phone and looked through the photo album. "Here, this one."

She put the photo in front of Xia Yuanzhou, and then said dissatisfied: "I didn't take it well, the phone's camera is not good."

In the photo, Xia Yuanzhou is smoking a cigarette, standing at the door of the store, blowing on the cooling fan, probably just came back from get off work, and his sweaty clothes are sticking to his body, he is holding his collar and squinting to look at the cashier, with a look of impatience and a hint of...indifference .

Xia Yuanzhou was completely different from usual.

Xia Yuanzhou like this is very cool and handsome.

The moment the proprietress handed over the photo, Chen Yang saw it clearly and took it down.

Xia Yuanzhou didn't know when this happened. It took him several seconds to find the words: "When did this happen? Why can't I remember?"

The proprietress put the phone back and smiled: "How is it? Girl, do you think it suits your eyes?"

Xia Yuanzhou unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and handed it to Chen Yang behind him.

"Couple." Xia Yuanzhou said, "It's useless for me to get together, right? Other girls don't like me. I'm a migrant worker, and I'm a college student, so I'm definitely not suitable."

The proprietress seemed to be waiting for his words, and hurriedly smiled and said, "It's just that the girl has taken a fancy to you."

"...Is it...? Are all girls this lively now?" Xia Yuanzhou smiled awkwardly.

"How is it?" said the proprietress, "Let's add a WeChat chat."

"Ah?!" Xia Yuanzhou was stunned, he didn't expect to go out to buy a bed curtain and sell himself by the way, which was quite embarrassing.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he was trying to find some excuse to prevaricate.

"Brother, I want to sleep." Chen Yang patted him behind him.

Xia Yuanzhou was startled, looked back at him, and said to the proprietress: "It's a bit late, let's talk about it next time." Pulling Chen Yang out of the door quickly.

Chen Yang's previous awkward emotions surged up again, and it was very uncomfortable to be stuck in his chest.

"Chen Yang, do you have a fever?" Xia Yuanzhou stopped and looked back at him, stretched out his head to touch his forehead and then his own, "It really is."

"No." Chen Yang walked towards the dormitory.

"It's hot." Xia Yuanzhou took a step forward and grabbed him.

"Really not." Chen Yang glanced at him and broke free from his hand, "Drinking."

"Drinking?" Xia Yuanzhou was stunned, and then seemed to remember something, "Are you allergic to alcohol?"

"Yeah." Chen Yang pushed open the door of the dormitory, the fat man seemed to be punched suddenly by someone, he let out a sound, and wrapped his round body with the air conditioner.

Fatty's move startled Chen Yang, he stood at the door for two seconds, then sat back on the bed.

"You don't know how to drink and still drink so much?!" Xia Yuanzhou followed in and said.

"It's okay." Chen Yang lay down, facing the wall.

Xia Yuanzhou stood by the bed and looked at Chen Yang, and walked away after a while.

Fortunately, there is a health room in the living area, and allergy medicine should still be available.
