Prohibition of losing contact

The "young talent" Mr. Pei used to have a good family style, regular work and rest, and almost never took the initiative to set foot in bars and other entertainment venues. Unfortunately, after spending so long with Zhou Qingbai, he was almost assimilated by him.

At 06:30 in the evening, BlackBar was making the final preparations for opening. Zhou Qingbai came in through the back door with ease, threw his suit jacket on the bar counter, and while turning his head to greet the waiter, he stretched his arms to get some iced Coke in the small freezer.

It's just that before he touched the refrigerator door, someone slapped the back of his hand, making a loud and crisp sound.

Zhou Qingbai was startled, like a frightened cat, he jumped two steps away, covered the back of his hand, and looked at the bar vigilantly.

"Who is it?" Zhou Qingbai asked warily.

"……I."

A familiar figure quickly stood up under the bar. Ge Xing's forehead was slightly disheveled, and a few pieces of floating dust had been rubbed on his white T-shirt from nowhere, which looked dirty.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Qingbai heaved a sigh of relief, and asked angrily, "Are you a thief?"

"I'm looking for ice." Ge Xing patted the ashes on his body, and said casually: "When did you change the place in the freezer? I wanted to drink some ice, but I didn't know that Xiao Li was not here, so I had to do it myself."

Boss Ge usually sees the head but doesn’t see the end. He didn’t know where he went to play before. Zhou Qingbai hadn’t seen him for more than two months. Hearing this, he lifted the cover and walked into the bar, holding his bag in disgust. The back collar pulled the person back.

"The freezer under the stage was broken the day before yesterday, and it hasn't been repaired yet. The ice is stored in the large freezer in the utility room at the back." Zhou Qingbai said as he unbuttoned his cuffs, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and said casually: "Xiao Li My wife is having a baby, so I asked for leave for these two days, Brother Qiang asked me to come over and take care of him."

Professionals were ushered in to the three-acre area of ​​the bar, and Ge Xing no longer stayed in the way, so he took advantage of the opportunity to get out of the bar and sat on the booth outside.

"Oh, no wonder." Ge Xing took the wine glass and said casually, "Speaking of which, how have you been doing recently? Do you have any success?"

"No." Zhou Qingbai said casually: "You have time to care about my peach blossoms, why not care about yourself first."

"That's what you said." Ge Xing retorted disapprovingly: "Am I concerned about your peach blossom? I am concerned about your personal safety."

"My personal safety is very good, thank you." Zhou Qingbai threw a hockey puck into his cup, and said calmly: "I have been safe and smooth for the past six months, no blood, thank you - I will call that person a charlatan."

Looking at his stern face, Ge Xing hesitated to speak, and said to himself, how do you know that the right fate has come.

However, it is meaningless to argue with Zhou Qingbai. Ge Xing looked around and changed the subject: "By the way, Pei You is not with you today?"

Zhou Qingbai was wiping the wine utensils with his head down, but he didn't lift his head when he heard the words, and said casually: "He's coming late, this spot is blocked, and his company is far away."

As soon as Zhou Qingbai's words fell, he realized something again. He put a shaker under his arm and raised his eyebrows: "No, how did you know that he was with me?"

As he spoke, he looked Ge Xing up and down, and said with a strange expression: "I said, Boss Ge, you don't want to put eyeliner here, do you?"

"I won't do it." Ge Xing rolled his eyes and said, "I heard what they said when I was chatting with the waiter just now."

It's no secret that Zhou Qingbai has gotten close to Pei You recently at BlackBar.

Pei You has a decent demeanor, he doesn't come to the bar to have fun, and he doesn't strike up a conversation with others, he always orders and sits at the bar counter, which is quite eye-catching.

He sometimes handles a little work, and chats with Zhou Qingbai when he is free.

The two of them formed a self-contained aura, and they picked a topic to talk at will when they were free, and they each did their own work when they were busy, but they raised their heads and looked at each other from time to time, and they could always find that the other was looking at them.

The waiters here are very familiar with Zhou Qingbai, and know what kind of people he is most impatient with dealing with, so that at first glance, there is such a "heterogeneous" Pei You next to him, and both of them think it is amazing.

Before Zhou Qingbai came, Ge Xing had already walked around the venue and gained a lot of first-hand gossip. The more he listened to it, the more bizarre he felt, so he couldn't help but stay, wanting to see if the two of them really got along so well.

At 07:30 in the evening, the lighting effects of the BlackBar began to change, and Pei You rushed into the lobby among the first batch of guests on time, as if he was on time to go to work.

He came more often, and he was not as at a loss as he was at the beginning. He walked to the bar counter familiarly, and sat down at the innermost corner.

The innermost part of the bar is remote and quiet. It is the closest to the bartending area and does not block the ordering area. It has become Pei You's "exclusive seat" for the past two months.

"Morning." Ge Xing tilted his head, raised his cup familiarly, smiled at Pei You, and greeted, "Come to play with Qingbai?"

After all, Pei You met Zhou Qingbai through Ge Xing, so he had a good impression of him, so he nodded and responded politely.

"Well, yes." Pei You said, "I was supposed to go out for dinner, but he wanted to come to work part-time, so we made an appointment to meet here."

Ge Xing said "Oh" and nodded thoughtfully.I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Pei You's tone of talking about Zhou Qingbai didn't seem like an ordinary friend, with a kind of natural intimacy.

The two of them were talking, when Zhou Qingbai just came out from behind after taking a bath and changing his clothes. He changed into a loose dark green T-shirt with the neckline slightly open, exposing his collarbone still drenched with water.

He seemed to come out in a hurry, and there was still a little water on the tip of his hair. Seeing this, Pei You frowned, and just took a deep breath, before he could speak, Zhou Qingbai cut off the conversation.

"Wipe it well and dry it well——" Zhou Qingbai fiddled with his hair carelessly, and smiled like a fool: "Look, it's dry after a blow."

When Zhou Qingbai was at BlackBar, he usually didn't care much about his image, his hair was not blown, and his forehead was hanging limply, looking a little harmless.

Pei You had nothing to do with him, and since the guests had already arrived, it was not easy to ask him to go back to dry off before coming out, so he sighed and compromised: "Anyway, get a towel to wipe next time."

Zhou Qingbai had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, and with a smile, he agreed very simply.

While talking, the first batch of customers had already arrived—most of them were old customers who were able to gather at the bar for the first time to wait for the special call. wine list.

Zhou Qingbai smiled and said, "Wait a minute, there is one who comes first."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Pei You, and asked, "What do you want to drink?"

"Whatever, you decide." Pei You said.

Zhou Qingbai didn't seem to be prepared to listen to his opinion, and he turned around and took the materials he wanted from the wine cabinet while speaking.

Ever since Mr. Pei You came to BlackBar to accompany him, Zhou Qingbai has gotten used to serving him the first glass of wine.

He pushed a glass of delicate non-alcoholic mojito to Pei You, then blinked at him, and then straightened up to deal with other guests.

Pei You put the wine glass in his hand as usual, then took out his mobile phone, and replied two work messages.

Ge Xing looked on coldly, couldn't help but shook his head, and sighed long with a face full of vicissitudes of life.

Heh, man, Ge Xing thought, some people were as afraid of getting involved with Pei You as the chaste martyr a few months ago, but now, in less than half a year, they have changed their sex like letting people down their heads. Offer a glass of wine with a wink.

"What's wrong?" He sighed so loudly that Pei You couldn't help asking, "Did something happen?"

"It's nothing." Ge Xing shook his head and said meaningfully: "I just suddenly felt that a man is really a creature that goes back and forth."

Pei You was confused, but because he didn't know Ge Xing very well, he was embarrassed to ask in detail, so he could only nod his head as a response, and turned his attention back to his phone.

Zhou Qingbai is considered a "special guest" at BlackBar, and he seldom fills in as much as today, so that some old customers are so enthusiastic today that the special order rate is one-third higher than usual.

There were even a few regular customers who came over to make fun of him and asked for Ramos Ginfis by name.

"No." Zhou Qingbai said, "I'm tired."

"That's not okay." The old regular customer said with a smile: "Today, you are alone, so you can't be picky."

Sitting on duty is different from guest appearances, and you can't choose a list to do. Zhou Qingbai sighed, joked a few words, and resignedly took out a spring from the spare cup.

Ramos King Fizz was complicated and tiring, and it took ten to ten minutes to shake a cup. When Zhou Qingbai finally "served" all the old and regular customers who watched the excitement away, he felt so sore that he couldn't lift his hands.

The quietness returned to the front of the bar, Zhou Qingbai moved two steps to the corner of the bar, hooked the stool with his toes and sat down, stretched his arms, and tapped the countertop by Pei You weakly with his fingertips.

"Hands are so sore." Zhou Qingbai leaned on his arm and discussed in a muffled voice: "Rub it for me."

Pei You saw how busy he was just now, and put down the phone without saying a word, held his wrist in his hand, and gently rubbed his stiff wrist.

Ge Xing: "..."

Zhou Qingbai lazily rested his pillow on his arm, and "directed" from time to time, like a pampered old man. Ge Xing held back for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and coughed dryly.

"Zhou Qingbai." Ge Xing said, "When did you become so delicate?"

"Recently." Zhou Jiaohua was not ashamed but proud, and replied, "What's wrong?"

He acted like no one else was around, as if he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the way he got along with Pei You.Ge Xing glanced back and forth between him and Pei You, and seeing that Pei You didn't have any objection to it, he finally understood something belatedly.

The expression on his face changed from disgust to blankness, and then became enlightened in an instant. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, stood up like a wandering soul, and turned his head to leave.

Zhou Qingbai stopped him wonderingly, and asked, "Why are you going?"

"I'll go to the Yingbin Building to book a few tables for you two." Ge Xing said in a daze, "By the way, do you like champagne roses or perfume lilies?"
