[Four Drive Brothers] Reshaping Reality

In order not to let Zhou Yan and Brett misunderstand the hometown of beer, in the end, Adolf, who is very good at wine tasting, re-made the drink. Fortunately, Hugh’s house had sufficient stocks of various famous wines, and after Adolf’s smooth actions ,The color of the cocktail that is also mixed with a variety of fruit juices shows a gradient of clarity.

Adolf opened the goblets in front of everyone in a row: "Tequila sunrise, wine as passionate as a cloud of fire."

Zhou Yan was already intoxicated just by smelling the fruity aroma in the wine glass. She patted Mihaier on the shoulder: "It's right for you to choose to focus on racing."

Mikhail glanced at the wine glass filled with brown chaotic liquid that was thrown aside by everyone, but in the end, Mikhail decided to follow everyone's pace, abandoning his masterpiece and choosing to turn to light.

With cocktails to add to the fun, the atmosphere in the living room gradually became more like before. Hesla was cutting the top layer of cake and serving Mihail, who has always consumed the most desserts. Brett and Ye used a nostalgic tone, Speaking of some deeds during the World Cup, Mihail is still not reconciled. He has always been a genius in many fields, but he failed in bartending. He is still discussing bartending skills with Adolf .

Zhou Yan's eyes roamed the room casually. She saw today's protagonist Hugh sitting alone, quietly looking at the cake tower in a daze. The complexion becomes reddish.

Before Zhou Yan could look away, she saw Hugh's eyes turned around as expected, Zhou Yan quickly raised her wine glass to signal to Hugh, Hugh's eyes were stained with a smile, but There was no sign of wanting to stop the staring.Zhou Yan took a sip of the wine, the hot taste of tequila made her frown, and she also looked away.

"The Italian team does not have the support of the latest motor and processing system, but Carlo can still achieve the current record, which shows that Carlo does have his strengths." Brett, who was sitting next to Zhou Yan, commented that Zhou Yan saw In the cup in Brett's hand, there was only one-third of the liquid left.Sensing Zhou Yan's gaze, Brett didn't stop talking with Karma, he just put his arms around Zhou Yan's shoulder naturally.

Zhou Yan turned her head slightly and said in a low voice: "I believe you won't make an exception and drink a lot of wine for this party, right?"

Brett exerted some force on her shoulder, signaling Zhou Yan to rest assured.

German and English were frequently used alternately around Zhou Yan. It seemed that even this group of noble boys with elegant appearance would be talkative and chattery at parties.Zhou Yan rubbed her temples, walked around the sofa and prepared to walk out the door quietly.

"What are you going to do?" Brett held her gently.

Zhou Yan smiled: "I'll go outside for a stroll, so I won't disturb your relationship with Karma."

The garden is already full of moonlight. On the lawn not far away, there is a swing with rose vines wrapped around it. From a distance, it looks like the car of a princess in a Grimm fairy tale. Zhou Yan can't resist its beautiful appearance. | Lure, approached involuntarily, intending to get closer to watch carefully.

Zhou Yan's hand felt the touch of the leather wrapped in the swing. Thinking about it, she knew that such an ingenious item must have been polished by craftsmen in every possible way, and it was definitely not born naturally.She remembered that Hugh had a younger sister, and it must be a very happy thing to have a perfect brother like Hugh.

"Do you want to try?" A clear voice sounded behind Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan turned around in surprise and saw Hugh standing a foot away from her.

Zhou Yan, who was caught at the scene, scratched the back of her head in embarrassment: "It's really rude."

"It doesn't matter," Hugh said without hesitation. "The swing is here for people to use. If everyone just admires it from a distance, wouldn't it be too wasteful?"

Zhou Yan pursed her lips and smiled: "This must be something your sister likes very much. I'd better not offend her territory, not to mention that I have already passed the age of having such dreamy ideas."

Hugh twitched the corners of his mouth, "Okay. Do you have time for a chat?"

Zhou Yan sat on the recliner next to the swing: "Okay."

"I really didn't expect that you and Brett would come to Germany." Hugh said with a light smile, "This will be an unforgettable birthday for me."

Zhou Yan's feet were off the ground, and they swayed gently in the swinging arc of the recliner. Hearing what Hugh said, Zhou Yan replied with a faint smile: "It's nothing." The sparse shadows cross horizontally and blurredly.

"Today you give me the feeling like...'Doraemon'? Is it pronounced like this?" Hugh said the non-standard Japanese pronunciation with some accents, and Zhou Yan couldn't help laughing for a while: "I didn't expect that You can still read comics. However, if you want to compare me to Doraemon, then I must have gone through multiple simplified versions after pirated copies. The surprise prepared for you has turned into torture for you in the end."

Hugh understood that what Zhou Yan was referring to was Mihaier's cup of weird-tasting drink, and he also shook his head and laughed: "Mihaier hasn't been so childish for a long time."

Zhou Yan disagreed and said: "Really? When Mihaier went to the United States before, the way of teasing people has evolved to a higher level than before."

"I can imagine." Hugh nodded.Although he and Mikhail were in Germany, they did not meet frequently. From the occasional email exchanges, Hugh witnessed Mikhail's words becoming more mature and his thinking more logical. Compared with those days in the past, he and Mikhail had always become estranged.But according to Hugh's understanding of Mihail, probably only in front of Ian, Mihail would be willing to stop the eternally passing time.

For Hugh, the gathering tonight was like creating a symbol of connection between two time-spaces that are far apart. His 19 and 14 years old seemed to overlap in an instant.Even the people around him tonight are exactly the same as those he cared about back then.

The recliner creaked, and Hugh's hands shook the empty swing.The sudden silence made Zhou Yan a little embarrassed, but she couldn't find other topics besides Mihail that she could talk to Hugh comfortably.She is full of guilt towards Hugh, which makes it easy for Zhou Yan to run out of words in any subtle atmosphere.

"Your sister must be pretty." Imagining the appearance of a cute girl smiling excitedly on the swing, Zhou Yan finally came up with a topic after hard thinking.

"Huh?" Hugh looked at Zhou Yan in astonishment, Hugh was very strange, why Zhou Yan could talk about Emily from Mihaile without knowing it, and then Hugh realized that it should be this plane She was reminded of the swing that was almost the same as the illustration in a fairy tale, and Hugh replied: "Yes, she is very cute and very popular." It is a pity that she once fell in love with the more popular Mihail. After being rejected by Michael, Emily has completely lost interest in dating.

"You too, Hugh." Zhou Yan said quickly.

Hugh paused, and looked at Zhou Yan with surprise in his eyes. It seemed that it was difficult for him to keep up with Zhou Yan's rhythm of changing the topic throughout the night.However, Hugh suddenly understood that Zhou Yan hesitated and beat around the bush just to say this sentence.Hugh couldn't help smiling and said, "Well, I know."

Hugh's reaction made Zhou Yan instantly feel that she was being ridiculed. Yes, Hugh has been regarded as an idol by many people since he was a child. Even if he plays basketball on the court for a while, he can capture the hearts of many people. Here she is After hesitating for a long time, he finally uttered a piece of nonsense that wasn't fresh.But after all, she still wants to say, she wants to say that "choice" has nothing to do with good or bad, and "lovers" is a matter of free self-examination, and, even if there is a lot of guilt, [-]% regret and thousands of gratitude, Even Zhou Yan couldn't completely let go of Hugh's devotion.But Hugh is so outstanding and proud, as long as she shows a little bit of comfort and sympathy, Zhou Yan will feel that it is a kind of blasphemy against Hugh.

Zhou Yan covered her face in shame: "I might really be delirious by Mihaier's drink," Zhou Yan unceremoniously threw the blame on Mihaier's head, "I'm going back to eat cake first, Otherwise, you will be eaten up by Mihail, so come back quickly!"

Hugh watched Zhou Yan quickly run back to the living room. Under the light of the chandelier, everyone's demeanor and expression could not be seen clearly, and the figure of the girl who was particularly conspicuous among the boys was indistinct.Hugh looked away. On the swing frame, all the rose thorns were carefully picked out when it was built, leaving only soft vines and beautiful flowers.The recliner beside him was still shaking slightly, and the arc of the moon shining on the leaves had never changed.

Hugh's eyes were stained with warmth. Although Zhou Yan's wording and tone were a hundred times off topic, Hugh knew that Zhou Yan was making up for the farewell at the beginning of the year, when she was too hasty to say "goodbye" solemnly.

Through the window, Zhou Yan saw that Hugh was still standing there, as if thinking about something, she waved her hand vigorously, and when Hugh looked over, she reached out to signal Hugh that there were still two layers of cake that hadn't been touched yet.This was an emergency takeaway that used up all of Zhou Yan's savings. Although it was by no means expensive for the nobles who were everywhere in this room, Zhou Yan really didn't want to see her savings go to waste.

Seeing Hugh nodded to her, Zhou Yan obviously understood what she meant, so Zhou Yan sat back on the sofa with confidence.

Hugh saw Zhou Yan in the distant room pointing at the cake and gesturing to him with various gestures. Hugh couldn't help laughing, and sighed almost silently, "Thank you, Ian," in one sentence It fell lightly, and was immediately submerged in the sound of the wind that gradually hit.
