Shut up, I am really a pure love god of war!

Chapter 65: The Tavern

"You seem a little confused?"

Walking on the bluestone road, Chun Yuwan turned his head and looked at Bai Yang.

"I thought you would choose to stay in the inn and read a book or something." Bai Yang said, "Don't you hate places like folk music taverns?"

"That's just a stereotype." Chun Yuwan shook her head: "I can't say I like it, nor can I say I hate it, but it's rare to go out, and it's better to go out for a walk than to stay in the room."

She paused and added, "My mother won't let me go out if I'm alone."

Bai Yang understood: "I understand. If you come out with me, Mr. Luo will not care."

"My mother values ​​you very much and is very confident in you." Chun Yuwan said.

"I feel a lot of pressure if you say that." Bai Yang spread his hands: "If I can't bring you back safely, wouldn't I be guilty of a heinous crime?"

"Bai Yang, what kind of adjective is that?" Zeng Jianeng said unhappily beside him, "Besides, we're just going for a stroll, what could go wrong?"

"If it's just you, it's fine, but..." Bai Yang glanced at Chun Yuwan: "Alcohol will expose many of the bad qualities of human beings and give them courage that doesn't match themselves. Such people are not uncommon in bars."

"Why do I feel like what you said was impolite to me?" Zeng Jianeng looked suspicious.

"That's not what I meant!"

"Your worries make sense." Chun Yuwan thought for a moment and said, "If it bothers me, I can go back and read a book."

"No need." Bai Yang smiled and said, "I'm just suggesting a possibility. Although it's the National Day holiday, there probably won't be many people in this tavern in a small ancient town that's not even a tourist attraction. You can just wear a hat or something."

"I'm ready." Chun Yuwan took out a mask from his pocket.

"comprehensive!"

"Bai Yang, so you were just saying that I'm not good-looking! So there's no danger!" Zeng Jianeng finally reacted.

"It's beautiful and cute." Bai Yang's tone was a bit like coaxing a child.

Zeng Jianeng does look okay, but she's a little fat, which makes her face look big and her features small.

"You'd better think so!" Zeng Jianneng was not angry at first. He quickened his pace and rushed into the tavern that had already opened.

Bai Yang looked at the door and asked, "Where is the tavern?"

"Strange name."

This tavern is a two-story building. The front entrance faces a wooden carved wall. Below it are large pots of aquatic plants, the water in which has almost dried up, and the flowers and plants inside are wilted.

After turning left, I finally saw the bar. The lights were dim, the music was not loud, and there was no one in the bar.

"boss?"

Zeng Jianeng called out cautiously.

"anyone there?"

"It's upstairs." Bai Yang pointed to the small sign on the bar.

【When there is no one at the front desk, please go upstairs by yourself. 】

"Is the folk music pub so Buddhist?" Zeng Jianeng muttered, "I thought it would be lively when I came in, with a group of people gathered around the fire and a singer singing with a guitar."

"That's called a fire pond." Bai Yang paused: "But this place is really Buddhist. I see that no one has looked at the plants in the store for a long time, and -"

He wiped the lucky cat on the bar with his finger.

"It's such a thick ash."

"How about we leave?" Zeng Jianeng shrank his head: "It feels like it's closed." "Since we're here."

Bai Yang took the lead and walked up the stairs to the second floor. The stairs creaked. After turning a corner, Bai Yang finally saw a figure.

There are four tables on the second floor. Outside the wooden windowsill, you can see the river in the twilight and the stilt houses on the opposite bank. The evening breeze, accompanied by music, creates a very comfortable atmosphere.

A man and a woman were sitting at the table near the windowsill, each holding a cup of coffee, looking quite comfortable.

Surprisingly, they were all quite young, seemingly in their early twenties, and the men were handsome and the women were pretty.

Seeing Bai Yang, the woman stood up and said, "How many guests are there? Come and sit down."

He kicked the man next to him again: "Let's get started."

The man stretched, glanced at Bai Yang, and without saying hello, he slowly walked to the high stool next to him and picked up the guitar.

Zeng Jianeng and Chun Yuwan also followed and looked at the layout of the pub curiously.

"Can we sit by the river?" Bai Yang asked.

"Whatever you like." The proprietress handed over a piece of hard paper with a handwritten wine list on it.

"You guys are really casual." Bai Yang looked at the wine list. There were only a few cocktails and a few ordinary beers on it, and the prices were basically around 30 yuan: "No drinks?"

"It's a small place, I'm too lazy to make drinks." The lady boss smiled and said, "There's a small shop not far away, you can buy your own."

Bai Yang raised his eyebrows: "Can I bring my own?"

"Whatever you want, just don't bring alcohol. Forget it, if you spend a certain amount of money, it doesn't matter if you bring alcohol. I have a lot of friends who bring alcohol here for free."

"Give me a bottle of Hoegaarden." Bai Yang handed the wine list to Chun Yuwan, then said with a smile: "Madam, why don't you just change the name to Suiyi Bar? How can you make money by doing business like this?"

"I don't plan to make much money, just enough to keep me here." The proprietress was quite talkative, she simply sat down and said with a smile: "If you really want to open a profitable store, you wouldn't open it in a place like this."

"That's right." Bai Yang nodded in agreement. This place was so deserted even during the National Day holiday, and there were probably no tourists at all during normal times.

Chun Yuwan had no interest in wine, so she handed the wine list to Zeng Jianneng again. She glanced at it and raised her hand:

"I want a Long Island Iced Tea!"

Bai Yang frowned: "This is not a drink, it's a cocktail, and it's very strong."

"I know. I read about it in a book and have always wanted to try it." Zeng Jianeng stuck out his tongue. "Anyway, there's no one else here. Besides, if I get drunk, aren't you here with me?"

"I'm not responsible for carrying you back. If you are drunk, I'll just throw you into the river and let you float back to Xiangdong by yourself." Bai Yang said unhappily.

Zeng Jianeng shrank his head: "Then I'll change one."

"Give her a Coke. There's a Long Island Iced Tea on the menu, so the mixed Coke should be prepared, right?" Bai Yang said to the proprietress, "You can pay the price of a Long Island Iced Tea."

"You are the guest, you have the final say." The proprietress did not mind and looked at Chun Yuwan: "Where is this beautiful lady?"

"Cola."

Chun Yuwan said.

"Please sit down first and listen to some music." The proprietress walked down the stairs on the creaking wooden floor.

"This is totally different from the folk music pub I imagined." Zeng Jianeng came over and said, "Why do I feel like these two people are helping to look after the store? They are too young."

"Why do people who open bars have to be middle-aged?" Bai Yang asked in return: "It's normal for people to like this kind of life."

He looked out the window and said, "I'll find a comfortable and beautiful place, where I can enjoy the scenery and drink with friends every day. I won't have to worry about messy things and just follow my heart. I don't know how many people have thought about such a life but don't have the courage to live it."
