Prohibition of losing contact

Zhou Qingbai's peacock came to an end, and he received a lot of applause.

The inexplicable desire for expression in his heart was satisfied, so he narrowed his eyes contentedly, looked in the direction of Pei You in his memory, stretched out his hand to him under the eyes of everyone, and shook it slightly.

When Pei You looked at him earlier, he thought he could see him clearly, but now he realized that his eyes were dimmed, so he put down his wine glass, took two steps over, and held his hand.

Zhou Qingbai watched as Pei You's figure emerged from the blurry darkness and gradually became clear.He bent his eyes, tightened his hand with Pei You, and jumped off the stage lightly.

"Be careful." Pei You said.

Zhou Qingbai hummed to indicate that he knew, and then gently squeezed Pei You's hand in the dark.

This temporary performance heated up the scene and added a lot of color to the atmosphere of the bar. The bartender was happy to see the result, and walked over with a smile on his face. He waived the order for Zhou Qingbai and Pei You as agreed. A few pieces of local specialty Joongguo candy.

When he was in the bar, Zhou Qingbai could still pretend to be inscrutable, like a noble prodigal son, but as soon as he went out, he showed his true colors, just stepped on two steps, he turned around and turned to look at Pei You behind him.

"Something's wrong." Zhou Qingbai crossed his arms, leaned lazily against the wall next to him, and asked him solemnly: "You haven't praised me yet——was I handsome just now?"

Pei You knew that he was talking about the performance in the bar just now, so he pursed his lips, smiled helplessly, and said, "Handsome."

Zhou Qingbai took advantage of the problem and was unwilling to give up. He stretched out his hand to support the wall on the other side, bent slightly, approached Pei You with a smile, and asked aggressively, "Then why didn't you say anything just now?"

This staircase is narrow and steep, and only one person can go up and down. Pei You was blocked by Zhou Qingbai, as if he was surrounded by him in his arms, and he could smell a little bitter gin on the other party's body when he breathed.

This distance is too close, and has unknowingly surpassed the normal social distance, but for some reason, neither of the two people present seemed to notice this.

The light in the stairs was dim, Pei You raised his head, looked up at Zhou Qingbai in front of him, and clearly saw a little crystal clear sweat oozing from his forehead, sliding down a short arc along the side of his face.

These days, Pei You has figured out how to deal with Zhou Qingbai.

When he's in the mood, he likes to act like a baby, but he's also easy to coax. As long as you follow him and say a few nice words, you can usually pass the test.

For Pei You, this matter is difficult to say, but also simple to say - the difficult thing is that he can't please others, but the simple thing is that, based on his experience, Zhou Qingbai will be very happy as long as he tells the truth at this time.

"I forgot." Pei You stretched out his hand to help him wipe off the sweat, and said honestly: "You performed very well, I only care about you."

This sentence really hit Zhou Qingbai's heart from nowhere, he bent his eyes like a cat and smiled, the corners of his lips raised uncontrollably, turned around without saying a word, and walked up the stairs.

But it can be seen that he is obviously in a good mood, his back is swaying, and his steps are so light that he seems to be floating.

Pei You seemed to be inexplicably infected by his happiness, as if he had been several years younger for no reason, and he felt a little joy in his heart, and couldn't help but smile.

"That's right." Coming out of the shop door facing the street, Pei You was finally able to take a step forward and walked forward side by side with Zhou Qingbai. After thinking for a while, he remembered something he had wanted to ask since just now: "Would you still know?" How about playing the guitar?"

"I didn't learn it systematically." Zhou Qingbai looked sideways at him, smiled and gestured for three: "Actually, I can play three songs—Sky City, Qilixiang, and this one."

Zhou Qingbai also came into contact with the guitar during his rebellious period in high school. He learned a few hands from the bartending teacher and used it to temporarily fool strangers at critical moments.

"Actually, I haven't touched it for several years." Zhou Qingbai shrugged and said with a smile, "I just remembered it when I saw the guitar today."

"Then you dare to go on stage?" Pei You asked.

"Why don't you dare?" Zhou Qingbai frowned, and said, "No one knows me here, so why not be ashamed, at worst, just throw away the guitar and sing a cappella."

Zhou Qingbai seems to be born with this sense of freedom and ease. He doesn't hesitate to worry about these boring things, so he appears free and undisciplined, with a little casual charm.

Pei You himself is a person who is used to making life plans. From his studies to his life, to these trivial things in life, he is mostly used to having his own plans and preparations, and rarely rushes into unplanned areas.

So when he suddenly came into contact with Zhou Qingbai, who played cards against common sense everywhere, he inevitably felt a little good in his heart, and couldn't help admiring the other party's free and easy courage.

Zhou Qingbai was inexplicably excited tonight, and he was still not satisfied after playing for a while. He didn't want to obediently go back to the hotel to sleep, but took Pei You around in a big circle, intending to go back to the hotel from the other side of the main street.

Pei You was very good at remembering the way, but he didn't say anything when he saw the situation, he still chatted with him casually.

Just passing through the street, Zhou Qingbai's phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated wildly. He thought it was some friend who wanted to catch up with him, but just as he took out the phone and was about to hang up, he saw an unexpected note on the screen.

"Liu Xin?" Pei You frowned: "It's about this time, why is he looking for you?"

Whether it's early or late, it's definitely not the time to talk about business, Zhou Qingbai thought about it, and pressed the answer button in front of Pei You.

"Hello?" Zhou Qingbai lazily drew a long voice and said, "Mr. Liu."

Zhou Qingbai has been bartending for many years and is very sensitive to alcohol. He can easily get into a slightly drunk state, but he also sobers up quickly. In just a short while, his expression has returned to normal, and his tone has returned to that casual and perfunctory attitude .

"It's late at night, what's the matter." Zhou Qingbai said, while raising the volume of the call, he switched the phone to Pei You's direction, so that he could listen along with him.

"It's nothing." Liu Xin smiled on the phone and said, "Isn't it because you have been here for several days? Let's have a meal and sing together, and relax."

Ever since Zhou Qingbai and Pei You arrived in Weinan, Liu Xin has never stopped inviting dinner parties like this. Either today’s Japanese food store will open new fish, or tomorrow Huaiyang cuisine will have fresh wild yellow flowers.

Zhou Qingbai didn't care about having dinner with him at first, but he couldn't get away from it before. He and Pei You were busy checking accounts and collecting evidence, and Zhou Qingbai naturally didn't bother to deal with him.

But again and again, Zhou Qingbai came to investigate him this time, and refused his overtures again and again. The atmosphere between each other was already a bit awkward, and it seemed a bit unreasonable to refuse this time.

"Tomorrow—" Zhou Qingbai hissed softly, as if he was weighing things up.

While pointing to the phone for a moment, he asked Pei You's opinion with his eyes.

"Work is work, and relaxation is relaxation." Liu Xin continued to persuade over the phone: "The combination of work and rest is the only way to cooperate better. You can't work overtime every day, and your brain is numb."

There has been a breakthrough in the auditing work, and Pei You also has an idea of ​​Dongjiang's situation in his heart, so this time he didn't refuse as hard as he did at the beginning, but pondered for a while, bent slightly, and moved to the other side of Zhou Qingbai to follow he whispered.

"My suggestion is not to go if you can." Pei You said softly, "But if you think it's necessary, it doesn't matter if you go once, it's up to you."

Zhou Qingbai was silent for a moment, hesitating in his heart for a while.

Liu Xin on the other side of the phone didn't hear the reply for a long time, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. His breathing stopped for a moment, and soon became a little rough.

"That's right." Liu Xin said, "Dongjiang happens to have a project to discuss recently, and maybe I will be on a business trip the day after tomorrow. So I thought it would be inappropriate for you to come all the way, and I have never entertained you once, so why not Let’s meet each other and communicate with each other.”

On business trip?Zhou Qingbai thought, don't run away.

I don't know if he was careless, but he always felt that there was something in Liu Xin's words, as if he was implying something to him.

Zhou Qingbai unconsciously licked his lips when he heard the words, and looked at Pei You.

If Zhou Qingbai chooses by himself, he still prefers to meet Liu Xin.After all, if you know yourself and know your enemy, you will never end in a hundred battles. He and Pei You have already asked Dong Jiang up and down, and there is no reason not to beat and beat the Dong Jiang boss.

What's more, he is Zhou Cangshan's younger brother, and with the giant Qingshan in front of him, Zhou Qingbai has the confidence to know that as long as Liu Xin is not crazy, he will never tear himself apart.

"Well, what can I say." So Zhou Qingbai thought about it, smiled, and said, "Aren't we afraid that Mr. Liu will spend money?"

He passed a step over lightly, Liu Xin, an old oily man who is used to scrambling in the entertainment venue, naturally understood, so he climbed up the steps.

"Mr. Zhou said this, so he's going to get out of the way." Liu Xin relaxed his tone, and began to pretend to be a wolf with a big tail: "The people from the headquarters are here, and our reception is a courtesy, and the entertainment fee is not bad—it's settled like that , At 07:30 tomorrow night, I will book a table at Fuyuanlou Restaurant. President Xiao Zhou and Mr. Pei have worked hard recently, after dinner, we just go to the next door to sing and relax."
