Chapter 29 Interlude II·Po
Chapter 29 Interlude II·Po
After a short meeting with Huo Shixiao, Zhong Yin's mood sank to the bottom.
He asked the professor for leave, and euphemistically expressed that he needed some time to think about the previous proposal, and the professor readily agreed; then, he didn't tell Huo Xixuan about it, and he still went to school at the same time, but after Huo Xixuan entered the classroom , Leaving school to relax elsewhere.
In the past, I would go to the street and the beach, but now I can only drink to relieve my worries.
Evening class ended and he had to go home with Huo Xixuan. He didn't go too far, a bar a few streets away from the school.It has some history. It is said that it was opened by a stateless poet in exile a long time ago. It is rumored that there are many versions. In short, it attracts customers from all over the world, and even foreign friends come here. To a certain extent, Zhong Yin is one of them. .
It's not that he misses the taste of wine too much, and he doesn't intend to get himself drunk, but he urgently needs some bright breath and taste, dim lights that can hide himself, and things that have nothing to do with him, allowing him to exist as a crowd of people stranger.
The bar is open 7*24h, what we want is to give the exiled heart a station at any time.There were already quite a few people when he entered, and he caught the same pure black as himself in the colorful hair.
Zhong Yin sat down next to him, glanced at his mobile phone screen, and confirmed that he was indeed a Chinese.
The probability of meeting compatriots in a foreign country is always low, especially when you are in a low mood, even if you don’t go up to meet them, seeing familiar faces is a kind of comfort.
The boy doesn't look old, Zhong Yin suspects that he is not old enough to enter entertainment venues and drink in country Q, but this bar has relatively loose management, and passports are not checked for non-midnight shows, and the local people's perception of the age of foreigners is low. It's rather vague, but the boy came in so grandiosely.
He looks very delicate, and he is also very particular about his clothes. When he wants to say something, he looks like a little prince carved out of jade from a book.There were quite a few people who came to strike up a conversation, but he rejected them indifferently.
But he turned around and tilted his head slightly to look at Zhong Yin: "Do you want to talk to me?" He said, "You seem to have something bothering you."
What can't be said to close people can easily be shared with strangers.
"My husband's family conditions are much better than mine. The family does not agree with us being together. He wants to sever ties with the family, but his father... came to me and said something like a threat. It can't be considered a threat. Anyway, now I am I was also shaken. Originally, I wanted to fight against the difficulties and dangers of the whole world with him, but now I don’t know if I should let him live a comfortable life.” Zhong Yin smiled wryly, “It’s like a bloody eight o’clock shift, right?”
The boy didn't seem to understand what the eight o'clock shift was, but he understood the first half of the sentence. "Hmm..." He thought for a while, "So, my partner is also under the same pressure as you."
"Ok?"
"In other words, I am also a child of a rich family." Most people say this with self-deprecation or a sense of superiority, but the boy has no expression on his face, and those who don't know think he is joking, "I don't know him. Did I suffer too, anyway, I chose him in the end.”
"Don't you regret it?"
He shook his head: "I didn't think the kind of good life that my brother gave me was so good. It was only after being with him that I found freedom and the meaning of living. I was just a canary in my brother's cage Forget it, eat well and dress well, and you can’t fly anywhere.” The boy changed his subject, “It’s him who was picked on by my brother.”
Zhong Yin felt the same way, he had only met Huo Shixiao once, and he was already walking on thin ice. It must be hundreds of times harder for that person to endure the harsh test from his brother-in-law.
However, they are now ending well.The elder brother compromised, and the two fell in love, which is enviable.
As for myself and Huo Xixuan, maybe the Long March has just started, or maybe it has already reached the end.
It's approaching midnight, and it's time to randomly check your age. Although there won't be a big penalty, you will still be deducted from your credit record if you exceed three times.Although there was no disturbance on the boy's face, Zhong Yin still sensed his embarrassment.
"How old are you?"
"nineteen."
Sure enough, he was right, he should have three years before he could come to this kind of place.
"If you're worried, let's go first." Zhong Yin suggested, "Or, should I invite you to another place?"
He shook his head.
Zhong Yin knows that he is just a tourist, and maybe there is no "second time" at all, so he is not worried about the long-term record problem.
He invited the boy to drink a glass of low-alcohol C city specialty wine, and lightly clinked glasses, hearing some noise from the crowd.They looked at the source of the commotion at the same time, a man was pushing through the crowd... walking in their direction.
Another compatriot.
This time the man looked about the same age as him, with a scar on his brow bone, which was still conspicuous in the dim light of the bar. It seemed that it had been many years, but it was still so deep. I don't know how serious the injury was.His eyes were not friendly, and he seemed to be coming towards the boy, worried that someone was seeking revenge, so Zhong Yin subconsciously stood up to block him.
"It's okay." The boy whispered behind him, "He won't hurt me."
Zhong Yin let go of his doubts, the man had already approached, and the eyes of everyone in the bar followed him, only the little boy remained calm and sat there to taste.
After standing in front of them, Zhong Yin realized that the "package" on his chest was not a package, but a... swaddling baby?
A small face was revealed by the opened corner. Even though the music was loud here, the baby was really a magical creature.Zhong Yin couldn't figure out why he brought the baby to the bar, let alone why the staff let him in.
The man approached, his tall body made the sitting person look weaker; he ignored Zhong Yin and frowned: "Drinking again."
"I'm already an adult." The boy didn't even lift his eyelids.
The man then did something meaningful to Zhong Yin, took off his swaddling clothes, and handed them directly to the boy: "I'm looking for you."
The words were too succinct, without even a subject, and Zhong Yin, who was stunned, could only guess that the baby was looking for a boy when he just woke up.
What is the relationship between them...?What is the relationship between this child and them?
"No, just let it out for a while, there is no freedom at all." He curled his lips, "You are more and more like my brother."
When facing a man, he is much more vivid, and no longer has the only expression that was as plain as water before.
Zhong Yin finally understood that Scar was the partner he had just mentioned.
He took the baby lightly, and skillfully tucked the quilt: "You also bring her to such a noisy place."
"Didn't wake up at all."
"That's not good for the ears. Forget it, I won't tell you, I'll take her back. Oh yes, and..."
The boy whispered a few words to Dao Scar, but said goodbye to Zhong Yin with no words of farewell, got up and disappeared into the crowd with the baby in his arms.
Dao Scar replaced the boy, sat next to Zhong Yin, and drank the unfinished glass of wine in one gulp.
He seemed to have a taciturn character in his daily life, he would never move his mouth if he could move his hands, and his strength was inversely proportional to his eloquence, but he spoke quite fluently when facing Zhong Yin.
"You want to know, and—" he picked a suitable position, "is it a lot of pressure to be with the rich second generation?"
It turns out that this is what the boy asked before he left.The child still misses himself as a stranger who met once, and wants to talk to someone with experience, Zhong Yin finds it interesting and can't help being moved.
"He is far more than a rich second generation. His elder brother is so powerful that it is not an exaggeration to say that he is above ten thousand people." Despite such a noble status, Dao Scar seems to be dismissive of his brother-in-law, " He was held in the palm of his hand since he was a child, but he eloped with me when he grew up." He talked about his memories and smiled, "His brother was so angry that he almost turned my land upside down. But he couldn't stop him , and finally agreed. Or it can’t be called agreeing, but acquiescing.”
Needless to say, Zhong Yin also wanted to know how twists and turns it was: "Don't you think that he might be more suitable for a life of luxury? Compared with following you..."
"You want to say that you will suffer with me, don't you?"
"……Um."
"If you only talk about material things, or the stability of your life, you can't compare with him at home. It's turbulent enough to follow me, head
Don't put it on the waistband, my life will be gone someday. "
"So dangerous?" Zhong Yin thought it was just rough, but he didn't expect Dao Scar to be a real madman.
"That's what I said, but he may not be safe at home. His brother has made too many enemies, but it is difficult to deal with, so everyone would think of taking this little thing. He was also kidnapped. How old was he at that time."
It turns out that there are so many dangers in the real world, Zhong Yin didn't even blink his eyes.
Scar snorted: "His brother cares about protecting him, he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to take care of himself; follow me now, anyway, I will always be by his side. Who said staying with me is not a better choice?"
"Little things rarely take the initiative to talk to others, maybe it's because of fate with you.
Scar settled the bill for him before leaving.
"You gotta know, you don't have the right to choose someone else's life; people who do that are pretty annoying, like his brother.
"It's like you can't deviate to decide whether it's more difficult to live with you or leave you.
"Go back and talk to your partner, it will be more effective than seeking experience from strangers in bars.
"—Goodbye."
Zhong Yin went home to wash off the smell of alcohol on his body, and changed into a new set of clothes.He is a person who is very demanding of his own cleanliness. Sometimes he will go home to change his clothes if he has oil stains or odors during his lunch. Ho Xixuan will not doubt anything.
He took time to rush to Huo Xixuan's class, and the class was over in a short while. This is a big class for grades. Students carrying books, iPads, and computers came out of the door in twos and threes. Zhong Yin stood in the corridor waiting anxiously, his eyes on the crowd. I don't know why he is more anxious than ever to see Huo Xixuan at this moment.
Finally, the name of his mother tongue sounded in the rustling of foreign languages around him.
"Xiaoyin—"
Zhong Yin turned his head and saw Huo Xixuan waving at him with a bright and gentle smile.
He suddenly recalled the years in Mingcheng University, they also waited for each other to leave get out of class in this way.
People who are sad about spring and autumn always like to say that life is just like seeing it at first sight, and Zhong Yin strongly understands this feeling at this moment.
If only time could be paused.How much he wanted to stay in this moment forever, reflected in Huo Xixuan's eyes, as if it was his whole world.
The author has something to say:
