Beschreibung

Guy followed Shen Jia's gaze sensitively, and just like that, she saw June in the booth next door—— The booth next door has the same specifications as the one they booked, and it is also a table for twenty-five people. There is only one boy on the huge gray sofa. The boy was about the same age as them, wearing black short-sleeves, sitting in an awkward posture, with his long legs open, leaning lazily on the spacious sofa. The cheerful and lively atmosphere around him seemed to have nothing to do with him. He was holding an iPad in his hand, his head lowered, not knowing what he was looking at. Guy took a look and realized that the boy didn't seem to be waiting for someone or having a companion. He probably had the denim jacket on the sofa that belonged to him as well. Perhaps sensing the eyes here, the boy also raised his eyes and looked over. He has particularly three-dimensional facial features, with high brow bones, deep eye sockets, and a straight bridge of nose. At first glance, you will feel that his eyes are slightly aggressive and his thoughts are deep and unpredictable. Half of his face was hidden in the light purple spotlights flashing in the bar, and his smile was cut by the lights to look inexplicably evil. He raised his hand and casually greeted Shen Jia and the others.

第1章

盖伊敏感地顺着沈嘉的目光望去，就这样，她看到了隔壁摊位上的六月——

隔壁的摊位和他们订的规格一样，也是一张二十五人的桌子。巨大的灰色沙发上只有一个男孩。

男孩和他们年纪相仿，穿着黑色短袖，坐姿有些尴尬，张开长腿，懒洋洋地靠在宽敞的沙发上。

周围欢快热闹的气氛，似乎与他无关。他手里拿着iPad，低着头，不知道在看什么。

盖伊看了一眼，发现这个男孩似乎并没有在等人，也没有同伴。他的沙发上可能也有那件属于他的牛仔夹克。

或许是察觉到了这边的目光，少年也抬起眼睛看了过来。

他的五官特别立体，眉骨高，眼窝深，鼻梁挺直。乍一看，你会觉得他的目光略带侵略性，心思深邃，深不可测。

他的半张脸隐藏在酒吧闪烁的淡紫色射灯中，笑容被灯光切割得显得莫名邪恶。他抬起手，随意地跟沈嘉等人打了声招呼。

从嘴巴的形状来看，似乎是在说“嗨，乔啊”。

沈嘉似乎深吸了一口气，然后转过身来，脸上带着温暖的微笑。她放下背包，告诉盖伊等人，她遇到了一个熟人，想过去打个招呼。

沈嘉身后，还有一个和他一样的少年。

盖伊垂下眼帘，猜测沈嘉他们肯定认识很久了。

但关系应该很普通。他们交换了几句话或更少的话。不到两分钟，沈嘉就回来了。

在沈嘉和发笑的交谈中，盖伊得知了隔壁摊位上的人的名字，June。

盖伊能感觉到沈嘉很受不了六月，但碍于自己的出身，他也没有真正说他的坏话。

我受不了了。

什么原因？

盖伊看了一眼她的身后。

六月旁边的长方形桌子上，放着他点的饮料包。麦卡伦和几瓶啤酒似乎没有动过。他只喝了半瓶矿泉水。服务员刚刚将他吃过的馄饨或者面汤撤了出来。大碗。

至于 June 本人，他还在用 iPad 读书。

他不像是想找乐子来打发时间，但他似乎饿了，顺便过来吃顿饭。

“哥们儿，你想喝什么？啤酒？”沈佳的朋友递过来一瓶红色百威啤酒。

盖伊对酒吧里的各种饮料都很熟悉，甚至能说出成本价和销售提成，但那瓶百威啤酒却被沈佳拦住了：“别闹，盖伊不喝酒。”

说完，沈嘉给她点了鲜榨果汁，若有所思地插了一根吸管。

人是分群的，沈嘉的朋友也是那种做生意比较认真的。

这群人来酒吧喝一杯，纯粹是为了饭后的第二次聚会，以健康的方式放松平时紧绷的神经。

他们喝酒不太多，酒有保证，不泡妞，不乱搞，跳舞总是贴近自己人。

最多也就是离开舞池后互相看看手表，比较一下心率和体力。

盖伊喜欢这个圈子里的干净和纯洁，也很高兴扮演一个好女孩的角色。她坐在沈嘉身边，拿着果汁瓶，慢慢地喝着。

晚上十一点左右，盖伊跟沈佳打了招呼，说要去卫生间。

并不真地。

她走到酒吧外面，站在离门口不远的地方，等待着领取她精心挑选的三层生日蛋糕。

这是盖伊第一次谈恋爱，她确实很用心。

蛋糕选择了沈嘉最喜欢的蓝色，图案也是根据沈嘉的喜好定制的。

晚上的风很凉，厚厚的门挡住了酒吧里的歌声和歌声，耳朵感觉舒服干净。

盖伊在手机上刷新着骑手越来越近的距离信息，并没有注意到她身后不远处还有一个人。

直到她接过蛋糕，转过头，才对上了琼审视的目光。

六月靠在门外，嘴里叼着烟，手里玩着手机。

他正专注地看着她。

盖伊看了他两秒，发现琼根本没有移开视线的意思。

She felt that this man was probably sick, so she frowned, glanced at June coldly, and walked away with the big paper box of the cake.

Guy's first impression of June was not really good.

In fact, June's appearance was really good, and he was one of the best-looking men of the opposite sex she had ever seen, but she felt like he was the kind of playboy who runs a bar and has a rich love life.

Not like a good person anyway.

Guy protected the cake carton all the way through the crowd and returned to the booth.

Three meters away, Shen Jia's somewhat surprised look was seen, and not surprisingly, he received a burst of cheers, attracting side glances from the people around him.

Shen Jia came over to hold her hand and said in a very gentle tone: "My girlfriend spent a lot of money."

Guy didn't mention the money, just said: "Happy birthday."

Their reactions made Guy very satisfied. She squatted down at the table to help unwrap the ribbon. She also held a candle and turned to look at Shen Jia: "Do you have a lighter ..."

She had a plan in her mind and kept her calculations in mind. I know that the way I look up at someone for help will make my boyfriend more loving and compassionate; I also know that lighting a flame and holding the candlelight will make my eyes look extra bright.

Shen Jia rubbed Guy's hair: "Okay, get up quickly. There are so many people here, just let them do it, don't be busy."

There are already friends around who are encouraging:

"If you make a wish later, why don't you wish that you and Guy will last forever?"

"Brother Jia, your life is going smoothly enough, why don't you just make a wish for me? May I fall in love in the future and find a girlfriend as good as Guy."

Guy smiled lightly. When Shen Jiaqian kissed her forehead, she vaguely felt a tall figure passing by them with a coat in her peripheral vision and sitting on the sofa in the booth next door.

She didn't know what Shen Jia wished for with a smile when she closed her eyes. She thought that after the birthday celebration night, the relationship between them would develop in a better direction.

Unexpectedly, things are unpredictable. After cutting the cake, a little accident happened.

The accident was actually very short-lived.

The screen of Shen Jia's mobile phone placed on the table lit up, showing that a new comment had been received on Weibo. Shen Jia didn't see it. She was leaning forward while drinking and chatting with her friends. Guy handed over the phone to her.

Shen Jia took the phone smoothly and looked at it twice. It would be an exaggeration to say that his expression changed drastically.

It was different from the inner annoyance she felt when she saw June just now. Shen Jia was panicking now.

Under the panic, there seemed to be a little bit of joy that couldn't be hidden.

The light color in the bar has changed. Light blue rays divide the alcohol-scented air into countless angular geometric shapes, like those future worlds imagined in movies.

In the cool light, Guy watched quietly as Shen Jia clutched her cell phone and lied to her.

Shen Jia said that his family had just sent a message and he was going out to answer the call.

Guy didn't expose it, nodded, and said sensibly: "Okay, then come back quickly."

"Then I'll be back after making the call ..."

Shen Jia hurriedly squeezed out of the booths filled with people, knocking over an empty beer bottle next to the sofa, and it fell silently amid the noise.

Friends didn't understand why and were still joking: "What are you doing? Shen Jia is already drunk after just two bottles of beer? Are you rushing to the toilet?"

"Either you are ignorant, why did you drink too much for someone's birthday? Hey, Guy, why don't you go and see him?"

Guy's face didn't change. She suppressed her thoughts and smiled: "Not much. He just went to call his family back, so I won't follow him."

Chapter 2

Two of Shen Jia's friends were eating together. During the dinner, Shen Jia would pick up his phone and look at it from time to time. When he put it down, the screen of the phone was buckled on the table.

Guy noticed it and looked at Shen Jia accidentally, then pretended that nothing happened and continued to listen to the conversation of the other two people.

Shen Jia's friends mentioned the concert at the Workers' Stadium and asked Guy if they were interested in watching it together.

Guy shook his head: "You guys make an appointment, I'm going back to my uncle's house to visit relatives on the weekend."

The concert was held by an old singer, who is no longer very popular now, but many nostalgic hits are his songs. Shen Jia seemed very interested, put down his phone, and asked when it was.

"I'll send you the promotional website for the concert. Take a look at the times of these two concerts. It's hard to get tickets. We can reserve them in advance so we can get them."

While his friend was talking, Shen Jia took off his disposable gloves that were stained with spicy oil, raised his hand and asked the waiter to add more food, but didn't really listen.

The friend then repeated it again, urging Shen Jia to look at the URL received on the phone.

Guy wore transparent disposable gloves on her hands, pinched the middle part of the crayfish, and pulled off the head.

Shen Jia was very busy during school and was close to the teachers. She would help the tutors with many things, so her cell phone was never set to ring or silent mode.

The former is too loud, and the latter makes it easy to miss important calls. For Shen Jia, using vibration mode is the most convenient.

But just now Shen Jia received a URL message from a friend, but there was no prompt on her phone.

What makes him check his phone frequently but still use silent mode?

Like before, this question was hidden in Guy's heart.

She didn't want to break up with Shen Jia, so she wouldn't do any impulsive behavior. She just silently wrote down these points that made her suspicious, and planned to wait and see what happens.

Shen Jia turned around at this time: "You really don't want to go to the concert? I'm free for the later one."

"I want to accompany my uncle and aunt."

In front of Shen Jia, Guy always looked very quiet.

She only sat on the front half of the plastic chair, her back straight, and she peeled crayfish slowly.

The crayfish shop is very popular, and the diners are almost all students from several nearby universities and residents who live nearby.

Diners these days are not stupid, and they no longer follow the advertising and marketing methods of the catering industry. Just relying on gimmicks will not attract people.

Like this store, the signboard light box looks cheap, the light is weak, and the decoration is not very high-end. However, more than 30 tables are occupied, and new customers keep pouring in. I stopped the clerk and asked how long it would take to wait for a table.

Someone squeezed in from behind, and Guy moved her chair forward to make room for others.

Shen Jiazheng was discussing the concert time with his friends. When he heard the noise, he turned his head and saw a few lobster shells in front of Zhi.

He smiled and put two crayfish on the plate and put on his gloves again: "Guy, let me peel them for you."

-

When June arrived at the appointed place, Zhou Lang had just arrived a few minutes ago and was standing at a table with messy cups and plates, waiting for the waiter to clean it up.

"Xiling, this way."

June dodged the crowd and walked over, stood next to Zhou Lang, and looked around: "Are there no other empty tables?"

"This restaurant is very popular. It's full all day long. We're lucky that we don't have to queue. Where are the other empty tables?"

Zhou Lang took off his glasses, wiped the lenses with the hem of his clothes, and raised his chin in the direction of a group of figures standing a few meters away: "Did you see, those few came two minutes after me, and they already have to queue up."

The store is so busy every day, and the waiters are all veterans. They pack things very neatly. They have wiped the table in three strokes, but they are a bit rough in their work.

June moved the plastic chair and sat down. He took out two or three napkins and wiped away the oil stains on the table.

Zhou Lang asked: "Why do you suddenly come to see me for dinner when you are free?"

"You are so busy with your studies. If I invite you to my house and you don't have time, do I have to come?"

The waiter brought the menu over. June took it, glanced at it briefly, and continued: "I happened to be running some errands nearby this afternoon, so I wanted to have a meal with you and see how you are doing. Have you lost weight?"

June looked past Zhou Lang and suddenly paused.

Graduate school is very hard, and there is no need to show off in front of friends. Zhou Lang simply pulled June to pour out the bitterness.

The waiter came over with the order form. June ordered quickly and handed the menu back to the waiter after ordering.

Zhou Lang, who was complaining about how busy he was, suddenly stopped talking.

Zhou Lang glanced at June, who was looking behind him even when ordering. He knew what June was looking at without having to guess: "Did you see Shen Jia? I saw it when I was looking for an empty seat just now."

Zhou Lang and June are college classmates and roommates who have lived in the same dormitory for four years.

After graduating from undergraduate last year, Zhou Lang went to University B to study for graduate school, while June began to take over part of the family's business.

Zhou Lang is not a local. When he was an undergraduate, he often went to live with June at his house during holidays. He got along well with June and naturally had a general understanding of June's interpersonal relationships.

"There's no need to stare like that. It's not like you and Shen Jia are close friends. What's the matter, are you planning to go over and say hello to him?"

"Not looking at him."

"Then who are you looking at?"

June's fingertips gently landed on the table, tapped twice, and suddenly smiled: "Look at Shen Jia's girlfriend."

Zhou Lang was so confused that June also turned around and took a look.

Both are graduate students in science and engineering at University B, and Shen Jia knew about his girlfriend Zhou Lang. There are only a few fixed routes from the graduate building to the cafeteria and the dormitory to the laboratory, and I occasionally meet them a few times.

The girl is good-looking, but she has a boyfriend after all. Isn’t it too much to just stare at her like that ...

When Zhou Lang was about to say a few words, June had already looked away and started talking about serious matters: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Always thinking about being perfect in whatever you do will tire you out."

Zhou Lang sighed: "It's better if we don't tighten it. You know my family's conditions and have few connections. If you want to stay in a first-tier city and make a difference, you have to fight to the death."

June pointed at himself and smiled: "Am I not your connection?"

"You ... are lucky that I don't hate the rich."

Zhou Lang was actually a little moved, and finally showed his first relaxed smile since we met: "I'm still thinking that if I work harder, I can strive for a guaranteed Ph.D. during my graduate studies."

"It's okay to work hard, but take care of your health. As for me, as your only connection, I'll treat you to a meal first to cheer you up."

Zhou Lang was not polite at all, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "Hello waiter, we will add crayfish here. A large portion, thank you!"

The crayfish tastes really good, but the store owner is too reluctant to add ingredients. June is not a particularly spicy person, so after eating a few in a row, it felt spicy to the throat.

He opened the mineral water and took a few sips, leaned back in the uncomfortable plastic chair, and looked up at Shen Jia's table again.

Over there is a dining table for four.

Of course Shen Jia was sitting on the same side as his girlfriend.

Shen Jia was also a considerate boyfriend. While chatting with his friends, he peeled several crayfish without stopping, all for his girlfriend, and even took off his gloves to help others pour ginger cola.

His girlfriend took the glass and turned to smile at Shen Jia with crooked eyes.

We met at a bar a while ago, and the group of people called Shen Jia's girlfriend's name when they were making noise.

They were so loud that June was not deaf, so of course he heard them and knew that Shen Jia's girlfriend was called Guy.

In June's view, Guy was indeed good-looking and had a pretty good temperament. She chewed her food slowly and looked like a lady.

It's just that the sitting posture is too upright and not relaxed enough.

Rather than saying that I'm here to have a date with my boyfriend, it's more like I'm attending some kind of forum where I'm about to speak on stage.

"Hey, Xiling, if you don't like the spicy food, just try this kebab, it's delicious too." Zhou Lang said caringly inarticulately as he slurped the crayfish.

"Um."

June and Zhou Lang hadn't seen each other for a long time. They chatted a little more and ate the meal slowly. But when they got up to leave, Shen Jia and the others were still there.

June looked over subconsciously, but was discovered by Zhou Lang, who slapped him hard on the back.

In the presence of the waiter, Zhou Lang lowered his voice and said through his teeth: " ...Why do you always look at other people's girlfriends?"

June didn't hold back. He slowly turned his head after reading it, took out his mobile phone, scanned the QR code to pay, "I've seen her before."

"Who have you met, Shen Jia's girlfriend?"

"Um."

June seemed to find it interesting and laughed before continuing: "But she didn't seem to have this kind of personality before, nor did she have this name."

Chapter 3

There is also a bartending teacher in the store named Lao Qian. Lao Qian followed Wan Ran's words and teased her, saying, "Not only that, after Lingling counts the money, she still has to send Guy a gift box to express her gratitude during the holidays."

Guy walked into the bar skillfully, put her backpack on the chair, entered the password, and used the computer to check the inventory of drinks: "Stop smoking, your throat is like this."

"It has been reduced to half a pack a day." Wan Ran threw the half-smoked women's cigarette into the aluminum can of Coke he drank. The cigarette butt made a sizzling sound when it met the water.

Guy printed the inventory list and walked toward the warehouse with the paper still warm from the printer.

Before entering the warehouse, she sent a message to Shen Jia, telling her boyfriend that she had arrived at her uncle's house and wishing him a happy concert.

Shen Jia might not have seen it, so he didn't reply for a long time.

When she was admitted to University B, her aunt immediately contacted her uncle who had lived here for many years and couldn't wait to push Guy to her uncle's house.

Of course my aunt was not happy.

When Guy first moved here, her aunt had a straight face all day long. Fortunately, Guy didn't live for free and could be used as a free labor force in the store, which was of some use.

The aunt said: "There are few employees now, and there is a small room upstairs in the bar. It can be tidied up just enough for people to live in. It is convenient for Guy to live in the store and help take care of the business."

The uncle hesitated to speak, and the aunt pinched her uncle secretly: "Guy, you have just finished the college entrance examination, and you know how hard it is to prepare for the exam. My sister will also take the college entrance examination next year. It is the most critical time. If you live at home, my sister will distracted."
