Chapter 94: How come there’s no flavor
I had thought that the scene between Xia Bing and Zhang Yu, not to mention how tear-jerking it was.
But it should at least be side-splitting. But the current scene, however, took me by surprise.
The drunken Xia Bing muttered that he needed two more drinks, and did not recognize the man in front of him as the one who had given him a fourteen-year promise.
Zhang Yu, however, looked at Xia Bing tenderly and poured another glass of wine.
This cup of wine, was light blue in color.
Xia Bing smiled and said to Zhang Yu, "You really understand me, do you have a girlfriend?"
As soon as Xia Bing said this, the entire bar was completely silent all of a sudden.
I nah nah nah didn't know what to say, and Chen Yanlu almost fell off the stool.
I looked at Zhang Yu hopefully, if Zhang Yu nodded his head, then everything, really changed completely.
I married Chen Yanlu, Zhang Ye and Xia Bing together. It was like a completely reversed ending.
However, Zhang Ye unexpectedly did not nod or answer, but instead used a strange gaze and looked at Xia Bing.
Xia Bing frowned and pushed the wine glass back, then said, "You're so meaningless."
I was bewildered, and just at this time, Xia Bing suddenly picked up the glass of milky-white liquor in front of me with one hand, then poured it in with one mouthful.
Right at the moment when Xia Bing picked up the glass of wine, I don't know why, a strong uneasiness inexplicably rose in my heart, and I wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.
Zhang Yang's face suddenly changed, and Xia Bing pooh-poohed it and said, "This wine, how come it has no flavor?"
I sighed in relief and looked at the empty wine glass, then said to Xia Bing, "Do you want to go out for a walk, I'll accompany you?"
Xia Bing shook her head, but fell asleep on the bar.
I looked at Zhang Ye, but Zhang Ye was looking at Xia Bing.
Zhang Ye said, "In fact, I came to find Xia Bing this time because I want to fulfill my long-cherished wish for the past fourteen years."
I frowned and said, "Then why did you not say yes just now when Xia Bing asked if you had a girlfriend?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "After drinking, I didn't want to make things difficult for Xia Bing when she woke up."
It dawned on me that Chen Yanlu clapped her hands, causing Xia Bing to mumble.
The next day, there were two more people inside my bar.
Xia Bing, and Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu was my employee, so she lived here. But I don't know why Xia Bing, suddenly seemed like a different person, all day long started to be a bit silent, but most of the time, it was looking at Chen Yanlu.
Zhang language has been with a very gentle gaze, looking at the summer ice, I and Chen Ranlu, but became the most confused people. All day long do not know the bar inside in the end do something.
Finally, I can't bear to ask Xia Bing why she is looking at Chen Yanlu.
Summer ice but said out to let me stone the sentence: "This, all is life."
Inside my head seven years ago, that dream that I did for seven years, in an instant all came back to mind.
"That, it's all fate ……"
The summer ice in the dream said just such a sentence before she died.
I was bewildered, lying on the bed, Chen Yanlu scratched my back and said, "What happened to you in the past two days?"
I forced a smile and said, "Nothing, thought of a little something."
Chen Yanlu tenderly touched my forehead and said, "Happy, or unhappy?"
I pursed my lips and said, "I don't know, that dream, too much tragedy, and panic."
Morning Research Dew patted me on the back and hummed one of my favorite nursery rhymes. I fell into a deep sleep. In her sleep, Morning Research Dew seemed to have changed into a different person, her eyes were a little red, and there were canines showing at the corners of her mouth.
I was shocked into a cold sweat, and when I woke up, Chen Yanlu was no longer with me.
I struggled to feel the quilt next to me, it was cold and clammy, it should have been gone for a long time.
Chen Yanlu never leaves at night without talking, I suddenly overlapped the Chen Yanlu in my dream just now completely with the Chen Yanlu from seven years ago.
There was some panic in my heart, and some confusion. Getting up and out of bed, I went to look for Chen Yanlu.
The lights in the bathroom were off, no one was there, opened the door to the room, but I heard the sound of a faint music.
It seemed to be Seven Years, and I wondered towards the bar in front of me.
Behind my bar, was the bedroom, it was a special little three-story building, the second floor was also the living place. However, Chen Yanlu and I always used to live on the first floor.
After walking a few steps, there was a faint light swaying in front of my eyes, I quietly walked over and plopped down next to the aisle.
But I saw that Chen Yanlu was sitting tightly in front of the bar, looking at the empty wine glass and staring blankly.
Inside the bar, under the lonely light, I suddenly felt that Chen Yanlu's figure, incomparably depressed.
It was as if he was out of place in this world.
Once this thought rose, it was completely unable to suppress it, I looked at Chen Yanlu with a pale face.
Chen Yanlu suddenly turned his head, I was so scared that I took two steps back, the two blood red eyes were exactly like those zombies in vampire movies.
I shivered and fell to the ground, my body tingling, but completely unable to suppress my panic.
That momentary appearance of Chen Yanluo, and the Chen Yanluo in my dream, completely overlapped.
The sound of footsteps rang out, and Chen Yanlu walked to my front, her face somewhat unnatural, "Why are you awake."
I looked at Chen Yanlu's eyes dead on, now Chen Yanlu's pupils, had already returned to black, but what I had just seen was absolutely not wrong.
Those were a pair of blood red eyes. Then would he have a pair of sharp teeth.
I was disappointed, but for some reason, there was a surge of gratitude. When Chen Yanlu spoke, there were no teeth inside his mouth.
Chen Yanlu helped me up, heartbroken, holding me in his chest, said, "How to be so careless."
I said with a trembling voice, "You're not here, I'm afraid."
Chen Yanlu paused, then picked me up and walked back to the bedroom.
Quietly looking at Chen Yanlu, I said, "If, this world, and me, are all a dream ……"
Chen Yanlu suddenly hugged me, her voice excited and trembling, "Don't leave me."
As I listened to these words, my brain was suddenly stunned, and my memories began to roll over again.
Inside that dream, after Chen Yanlu drank Zhang Yu's new wine and then awakened, she was hugging me to death like this, and even the words they said were incomparably similar.
My brain sank, and my eyelids slowly began to get heavy, as if they were filled with lead skin.
Inside my sleep, I was in a small empty dark room with two doors.
I stood in the middle of the room, not knowing which door I should push open, my intuition telling me not to choose, to continue to hesitate here.
Continue to be confused and then slowly die.
After I woke up, my back was all covered in cold sweat, Chen Yanlu had woken up a long time ago, but was quietly watching me. On the cabinet above the bed, there is a bowl of clear porridge.
I had no appetite, and Chen Yanlu said to me, "Homi, you can't leave me."
I wanted to nod my head, but it was as if there was an invisible force that made my head, how could I not lower it.
At this time, there was suddenly a knock on the door, and Xia Bing's voice came in, saying loudly, "Homi, I'm going to go out for a stroll with Zhang Yu, today Zhang Yu is on vacation ah." After saying that, there was silence outside the door.
I struggled the most Chen Yanlu said, "Don't open for business today, accompany me to go out for a walk, I want to go to some places."
Chen Yanlu nodded, but I felt that Chen Yanlu had changed. It wasn't that his feelings for me had changed in any way, but it was the way I felt.
It was as if Chen Yelu was a different person. No, rather, it was only suddenly that I truly realized that this Chen Yanlu, was the real Chen Yanlu.
For the past seven years, that Chen Yanlu had always kept his head down and rarely looked directly at my gaze. I always thought that it was his shyness and introversion.
But after Zhang Yu appeared, I suddenly had an incomparable clarity about everything inside my head. More and more, I felt that this world was too boring.
In these seven years of memories, ever since Liu Ke left, it was as if I hadn't added another person.
There was only me, Chen Yanlu, Xia Bing, and then this bar.
I wrote a sign with the words Suspension of Business, and then closed the door of the bar.
The sky was pattering with light rain, Chen Yanlu held up his clothes, protecting me in his arms.
I, however, felt no trace of coldness in my body, as if all my senses, had disappeared. I am a wooden person.
A wooden man without the slightest feeling.
Looking at the people coming and going on the street, I felt like they were all imaginary.
Rarely, today morning research Lu began to talk non-stop, from our memories of seven years ago, down to today's analysis of Zhang Yu and Xia Bing.
I subconsciously said, ''Chen Yanlu. I'm so sad, I don't know why, now I always feel like seeing everything, they're all illusory."
Chen Yanlu hugged me, then said in a gentle voice, "We're getting married, this is real. Aren't all these people just passing through for us?"
I nodded, my brain swelling, then collapsed on top of Chen Yanlu and drifted off to sleep.
When I woke up, I realized that I was lying in the middle of the room, and Chen Yanlu was not by my side.
I subconsciously thought that Chen Yanlu was in the bar again. Just as I pushed open the door, I saw Xia Bing wandering around in front of my door.
Seeing that I opened the door, Xia Bing wanted to run away with a slightly reddened face.
I called out to Summer Ice, who looked at me nastily.
I pulled her into the middle of the room, and Xia Bing said, "What's wrong with you, Homi?"
I shook my head and looked closely into Xia Bing's eyes, then said, "Xia Bing, tell me honestly, what's going on with you these past few days?"
"One moment, I was looking at Morning Research Dew, and the next moment, I was going out with Zhang Yu ……"
Xia Bing interrupted me and said, "Homi you're not mistaken, Chen Yanlu is your husband, what am I looking at him for."
I looked at Xia Bing's eyes and said word for word, "You're lying."
Xia Bing suddenly turned her back and said with a somewhat calm voice, "Xia Bing, you must have looked at him wrong, are you guilty of premarital phobia?
After Xia Bing finished, she left. I sat on the bed, my brain was all blank.
Just now, Xia Bing, dodged, she lied to me.
I know Xia Bing too well, she won't lie at all, maybe this is for me.
Because Xia Bing usually talks, is a bit clean, and then with a little bit of diffidence. But once she was about to lie, her demeanor would be wu bin serious. And the voice is flat like an ancient well in the heart.
Pushed open the door of the room, the aisle inside is not Xia Bing.
I came to the bar inside, but saw the morning research Lu is sitting quietly in front of the bar.
In front of him, there was a glass of milky white liquor.
Zhang Yu greeted me and I nodded, asking how they had a good time.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, ''Xia Bing is very happy, when Xia Bing is happy, I am happy, it always feels like a day is too short. If those fourteen years were given back to me, I would have definitely stayed by Xia Bing's side right then and there, always accompanying her."
I nodded and said, "It's not bad for you guys to be like this now."
Zhang Yu, however, did not speak, but looked at the wine bottle in her hand, a little dazed.
I realized that that wine bottle was empty, with nothing inside.
I walked over and said, "The wine bottle is empty, why don't you throw it away?"
Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "It's not empty, what's inside, is new wine."
I looked at the glass and wanted to go and pick it up, when Chen Yanlu suddenly said to me, "I'll go and get you something to eat."
