After thinking for a moment, Liang Sizhe decided to call the waiter over to calculate the price first, and then consider the next plan.He raised his hand and rang the service bell at the corner of the table, and the waiter came over quickly.

"Hello, I want to pay the bill." Liang Sizhe said.

"Okay sir, I'll print the bill for you." The waiter turned and went to the front desk.

When Liang Sizhe saw the waiter walking towards them with a series of long receipts, Liang Sizhe's heart skipped a beat, and an extremely bad premonition welled up.

"Three thousand seven eighty seven, sir, here is your bill." The waiter bowed politely to him, and presented the bill with both hands.

"Cough." Liang Sizhe coughed instinctively, then stretched out his hand to take the bill, looked down at the bill, and said pretending to be calm, "Let me take a look, you go ahead, I will settle the bill by myself in a while."

"Okay sir." The waiter gave him a gentle smile.

The result was even worse than expected. Liang Sizhe glanced at the dishes on the receipt, his brows were furrowed, and he thought this is actually a black shop that specializes in robbing customers, right?

The pitiful 300 yuan in his pocket can’t even pay a fraction of this bill—who would have thought that Cao Ye would have a whim and propose to go out for a good meal before he came here, and he found such an expensive Japanese restaurant , and clearly said that he wanted to treat guests, but ended up drinking himself to the ground?

Liang Sizhe read the bill from beginning to end. After he was sure that the decimal point was correct, he got up from his seat, went to Cao Ye and sat down next to him, put one arm on his back, and stared at him. After waiting for two seconds, he sighed, then leaned down and approached his ear, and whispered helplessly: "Hey, young master, what about your treat as agreed?"

Probably because the airflow blowing into his ears while speaking made Cao Ye feel a little itchy, he raised his hand and rubbed his ears, finally opened his eyes, and stared at Liang Sizhe in a daze, obviously drunk.

Liang Sizhe folded the bill, held a corner, and showed the final payment column in front of him.

Cao Ye squinted his eyes for a long time before he realized Liang Sizhe's intention behind his move.Fortunately, he didn't want to renege on the bill, and he didn't forget to treat the guests even when he was drunk. He took out a card from his pocket, slapped it heavily on the table, and said with a big tongue: "D-Of course I invited... "

Liang Sizhe breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the situation was not as bad as imagined.

"The password is my birthday..." Cao Ye still leaned on his arm, closed his eyes again, and said vaguely.

Liang Sizhe picked up the card: "What's your birthday?"

"September 9." Cao Ye said, turning his head and buried it in his arms.

If he is two years younger than himself... Liang Sizhe calculated his birth year, got up and went to the front desk to pay the bill.

Two minutes later, the front desk clerk in charge of the checkout hinted at Liang Sizhe tactfully: "Sir, do you have any other cards?"

Liang Sizhe was stunned for a moment, and understood the hint: "No, it's just this one. Is there any problem?"

The waitress put on a decent smile: "It seems that the balance is insufficient."

"Then...how about three thousand four?" Liang Sizhe asked.If the difference is only more than 300, then the rest can barely make up...

The waitress lowered her head and tried it, then raised her head and smiled at him: "No way."

"Try three thousand?"

"It still doesn't work."

"One thousand?" Liang Sizhe said a number cruelly. By this time, he was roughly sure that he could only leave Cao Ye here first, and go back to Lanyan to get the money.It's just that he was really curious about how much money was left in Cao Ye's card—he said happily in the afternoon that he would have a good meal, and brought him here with a lot of money, so he didn't even have 1000 yuan on him Bar?

Even the waiter was a little embarrassed this time, and the smile on his face was a little stiff: "It's still not enough..."

Liang Sizhe rested his elbows on the marble countertop at the front desk, and raised one hand to support his forehead: "Please help me try one last time, is there a hundred?"

This time, even the waitress seemed to find it hard to tell, she shook her head and gave him a polite smile of "Are you kidding me, sir?"

Only then did Liang Sizhe dare to be convinced that the unattractive ripped jeans he was wearing on his legs had almost maxed out one of Cao Ye's cards—and this generous Young Master Cao didn't seem to realize until now, I have become almost penniless because of these pants.

Liang Sizhe almost wanted to take off the pair of jeans on the spot to pay off the debt, but considering that this move would probably be judged by passers-by as a bad act of "eating a king's meal and not being a gangster", this idea only flashed in his mind for a second and soon disappeared. was abandoned.

Liang Sizhe sighed with some headaches, and gathered his energy to discuss with the waitress: "I don't have enough money with me, can I go back and get it? My friend is there," he turned and pointed to the table lying on the table. Cao Ye said, "I'm drunk, let's put him here for a while, okay?"

The waiter leaned down to look in the direction he pointed, and asked, "How long will it be?"

"Almost an hour?" Liang Sizhe estimated the time it would take for Zheng Yin to drive them over.

"Okay." The waiter agreed kindly.

Before leaving, Liang Sizhe turned his head and glanced at Cao Ye, who was still lying on the table and didn't move for a while.You won't numb your arm pillow again this time, will you?This idea flashed in his mind, and then he turned around and walked out of the Japanese grocery store.

The return time was almost twice as long as estimated, and it took nearly 10 minutes to take a taxi.It was the rush hour, and almost every taxi was full of passengers. Liang Sizhe got impatient with the wait, and finally took a black taxi that charged a high price and got in.

Haidian within the Fourth Ring Road was so congested that it took three or four trips to successfully break through a traffic light. The driver stepped on the brakes to stop and go, the body shook endlessly, and the brake light on the rear of the car in front went on and off. It made Liang Sizhe dizzy, as if he was having an endless, repeated dream.

He turned his face to look at this street that was full of countless vehicles and was about to overflow, thinking that if his finger hadn't been broken, would he have become accustomed to this perennially congested city at this moment?

The Yinsi Street Night Market crawling on the edge of the city was still bustling as usual. The stalls spread to the side of the alley, and the car couldn't squeeze in. Liang Sizhe paid and got off the car. According to the price agreed before getting on the car, this trip cost him 150. piece.

He walked quickly through the booth that was making the sound of sizzling oil, and raised his legs to step up the steps in front of Lan Yan.Just like every night before, as soon as we entered the blue banquet, we were greeted by loud and loud songs and fast flashing neon lights.

Stepping up two steps at a time, Liang Sizhe pushed the door open and entered his room, put down the suitcase standing by the wall, opened it, squatted down and took out three or four cards from the innermost hidden pocket, read them one by one, and then He took one of them out and put it in his pocket, and put the others back where they were.

If I remember correctly, there is about 5000 yuan in this card, which is enough to pay the bill.Liang Sizhe locked the suitcase and put it back in the corner.

It stands to reason that if you live in an old-fashioned building with extremely poor security like Lan Yan, you should pay special attention to anti-theft. After all, even young people with a little flexibility like the two of them can easily climb to the roof, let alone if a real thief wants to It is really easy to touch into a certain room.

However, the residents living in the guest house on the third floor are really struggling, and most of them don't bother to patronize even thieves, so the incidence of theft cases here is abnormally low.

When leaving Yinsi Street, Liang Sizhe suddenly felt some reluctance. Even he himself was a little unbelievable about the sudden reluctance. After all, there is really nothing worth nostalgia for here—the annoying noise, the smoky smell of oily smoke, the harsh The conditions of the housing, and those middle-aged men with big bellies coming in and out of the Blue Banquet.

The moment he turned his head, the owner of Lao Du Noodle Shop was coming out with a night of steaming beef noodles. Don't give up on the fireworks.

——Look at these people living here, living in a dilapidated dead end that faces demolition at any time, from the moment they opened their eyes in the morning, they waited for business to come to their door, and waited until late at night when the whole city fell silent. In the boring life day after day, don't they still live lively and leisurely?

Probably everyone has their own way of life. Is the happiness of a violinist higher and deeper than that of these people?It seems unlikely.Liang Sizhe thought a little perplexedly, even though this is the case, it is really difficult to accept that he can only live such a mediocre life with no expectations for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, he suddenly understood where his reluctance came from. In fact, it did not come from the so-called fireworks, but from the false promises and expectations brought to him by this alley. It seemed that as long as he tried his best to adapt to this place, he would He doesn't have to be like those who are trapped in this kind of life, he can come out, he can escape from here.

In the end, I still had expectations for the big screen...otherwise I wouldn't be so reluctant when my hopes failed.

There were fewer vehicles on the way back, but it was no better than when we came. The taxis still stopped and went.Liang Sizhe took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It had been an hour and a half since he came out of that Japanese grocery store. He shouldn't be mistaken by the waiter for the kind of person who abandons friends and runs away from orders, right?

The taxi drove for another half an hour before arriving at the destination, and finally stopped at the side of the street in front of the Japanese grocery store. Liang Sizhe got out of the car and closed the door, and strode into the store. When he pushed the door open, he turned his face to look at Cao Ye s position.

Different from the posture of lying on the table before leaving, Cao Ye was facing the aisle at this time, sitting sideways on the leather chair, with his elbows on his thighs, his head lowered to the ground, and two waiters in front of him He was bending over to clean the ground with a cleaning tool.

Vomited?Liang Sizhe felt that his head was getting bigger again. He walked over quickly, and when he got closer, he found that the waiter was cleaning the broken glass on the ground.He immediately figured out what had happened—Cao Ye broke the cup, and judging from the glass shards in the dustpan, there might have been more than one broken.

Cao Ye still lowered his head, maintaining the original posture, and did not raise his head when he heard footsteps.

Liang Sizhe walked to him and squatted down, lowering his voice: "Hey buddy, what's going on?"

Cao Ye turned his neck sluggishly, turned his face to look at him, his drunken eyes were full of surprise: "You didn't leave?"

"Where am I going?" Liang Sizhe was a little amused, "Escaping orders?"

"Yan...cheng, didn't you say you want to go back..." Cao Ye hung his head back again, covered his face with his hands and rubbed them slowly a few times, and said slowly, "I fell asleep when I fell asleep. You're not here, I thought you just left."

Liang Sizhe was speechless, he thought that Cao Ye was really drunk and confused, he thought he was going back to Yancheng, so he was going to fly back in the middle of the night... He raised his hand and patted Cao Ye's shoulder, without saying anything, he straightened up Go to the front desk to check out.At this moment, he felt as calm as water, and everything that happened that day took him unexpectedly, which greatly increased his tolerance threshold for various emergencies.

So when the waitress at the front desk told him that the cups that Cao Ye just smashed were worth nearly 2000 yuan, Liang Sizhe just stood there and took a deep breath calmly, then took the bank card out of his pocket expressionlessly. He took it out and handed it to the waiter: "Let's see if it's enough."

The waitress still maintained a decent smile: "The balance is still insufficient."

Fortunately, this time the card was only less than 100 yuan short. Liang Sizhe lowered his head and took out the remaining 150 yuan from the taxi he had just taken, and took out a 100 yuan cash card to make up the money.Holding the only 50 yuan bill left in his hand, he felt that this moment was really worth having a glass of wine to celebrate, and there was still 50 yuan of taxi fare left, God was really kind to him.

He walked to Cao Ye's table, picked up the half cup of green plum wine that Cao Ye drank on the table, raised his head and drank it all, then reached out and patted the back of Cao Ye's head: "Can you stand up?"

Cao Ye brushed his hand away, like a feline that resists human touch, then staggered and straightened up on the table: "Yes..." Before he finished speaking, his body was about to fall forward, and Liang Sizhe quickly raised his hand to support him. He nodded, then crossed his arms and walked out.

The doorman standing at the door graciously followed up to help them, and helped them stop a taxi on the side of the road, directed the car to turn from the ramp to the door, and assisted Liang Sizhe to push Cao Ye into the car.

Liang Sizhe thanked him, got into the car from the other side door, got into the car and closed the door, he let out a long sigh of relief, closed his eyes and leaned his head on the backrest, thinking about this chaotic and bad day It was finally over, and after returning to Lanyan, he had to climb to the rooftop to clean himself up for a while.
