Dip in fire

Zhang Weilan has already thought about it.He wants to spend the rest of his life here, begging Zhong Ning to look back at him.

But he also knew it wasn't that easy.Perhaps Zhong Ning is not unfeeling enough for him, but there are too many barriers between them.Yan Huiwan is gone, Zhong Pei's attitude may still be so tough, he was once so weak and incompetent, he became a coward, left Zhong Ning and ran away by himself.

If it was him, even if the other party dug out his heart, he might not dare to summon up his courage again and jump into the pit of fire again. ——Yes, he has never been as brave as Zhong Ning.

Zhang Weilan knew that she was shameless.But he had no choice.He couldn't bear those gray days, without any brilliance.

He has been determined, but the reality is that it is difficult to move an inch.Zhong Ning treats Zhang Weilan politely, and never mentions the broken past, as if everything has disappeared in time and has been wiped away.

This is probably the best appearance of "Shutu", but it is not the result Zhang Weilan wants.

Zhang Weilan racked his brains thinking, what should he do?After the party, he kept trying to contact Zhong Ning, but unfortunately he could only find something to talk about.

He has no valid reason.If I knew it earlier, I would have lied to Zhong Ning once, and asked Zhong Ning to help him find a house first.

Zhang Weilan seems to be born unable to express, his emotions have thousands of wounds, and he is a cripple.He has never pursued anyone, and he has never taken the initiative to show favor to others. The more violent and turbulent his heart is, the more at a loss what to do. ——He couldn't lose it any more, for fear of exerting too much force, it was wrong to hold this "opportunity", let alone hold on to it.

It's not good to beat around the bush, but it's also not good to go straight to the point. What if it doesn't work, just cut it off?

Thinking back carefully, it was Zhong Ning who followed him, chased him, opened his window, and broke into his heart step by step.

What did he do again.How despicable he is - once favored and protected by Zhong Ning.Now it's their own fault, and Zhong Ning can't bear to refuse.

He's so despicable that it's disgusting.

Zhang Weilan looked down at the news of Zhong Ning's return.

He called Zhong Ning this morning, but Zhong Ning didn't answer, and then he sent another text message: "Last time I said you opened a bar, where is the address? I'm fine these days, I just went to have a look."

Zhong Ning didn't get back the news until noon: "I didn't hear the previous call. I'm too busy these days and I really don't have time to entertain you. Wait for a while."

Zhang Weilan threw the phone aside, sat on the edge of the bed, buried her face in her palms, and let out a long sigh. ——It should not go well.He is not worthy of luxury.

On the other side, Zhong Ning put his phone down on the tea table and lay down on his big leather sofa to get angry.

"What's wrong with Zhang Weilan? What does he want to do?" Zhong Ning asked himself.

Eight years ago, Zhong Ning could pat his chest and say that he was the person who knew Zhang Weilan best in the world.It was also because of this that when Zhang Weilan wanted to leave, he knew all about karma, and even more understood that they would never have a future.

And now, although they have been separated for many years, Zhong Ning is not a fool.If you don't have anything to show your courtesy, you can either rape or steal.Especially a bastard with no conscience like Zhang Weilan.But is it possible?That is Zhang Weilan.

Zhong Ning suddenly turned over from the sofa, his mind was in a mess.He didn't think of getting angry again, but why was he confused?

Zhong Ning let out an "ah" in frustration, and then pondered: "Is it time to change the name of the bar?"

It's all because of Zhang Weilan's words.What are you doing back here?Why can't we go far for a lifetime, the north and the south are irrelevant.

Zhong Ning was disturbed by a text message from Zhang Weilan, and was so annoyed that he was covered in hysteria.In the past few years, Xu Huai has been in Azure, and he has thrown away his hands as the shopkeeper. He usually does his own way, and today he is not in the mood to go out. He simply skipped his own shift, closed the door, and slept with his head covered.

Zhang Weilan wants to stay here for the New Year, and will not return to the south for ten days.In order to travel conveniently, he rented an SUV?.

Zhong Ning ignored him, and he just drove around the streets full of sadness.Zhang Weilan's speed is not fast, and she can see the street clearly.There happened to be a young couple arguing on the street.

Zhang Weilan pressed the brakes and slowed down. Through the glass, she saw that the girl was pear blossoms in the rain, shaking the boy's hand desperately, and the boy followed her all the time, shaking her hand every time.

Zhang Weilan gave the gas pedal, and the couple became smaller in the rearview mirror.The boy finally caught up with the girl and whispered something in the girl's ear.This time the girl didn't shake off his hand again.

How envious.It's a pity that Zhong Ning never shook off Zhang Weilan's hand.Zhang Weilan has nowhere to coax.

It was Zhang Weilan who shook off Zhong Ning's hand.With a flick, it was so far away by eight years.

Before he knew it, Zhang Weilan drove to the place where he met Zhong Ning again.The road to the west of Zhongshui is quite long, thinking that Zhong Ning opened a bar, Zhang Weilan suddenly remembered that the day he met Zhong Ning, he also saw a bar on this road called "Azure".

Because the English translation coincided with his name, he still had some impressions.

By accident, Zhang Weilan came to the gate of Azure.

Zhang Weilan looked for a place to park the car, just got out of the car, and before he could take a few steps forward, he suddenly saw an acquaintance, pushed open the glass door of Azure and came out.

It's Xu Huai.

Xu Huai stopped at the door, with a rag in his left hand and a newspaper in his right, and started wiping the glass.

Zhang Weilan stood on the spot, dazed for a long time without reacting.

A waiter squeezed out from another door and quickly took the rag and newspaper from Xu Huai's hand: "Brother Xu, I'll do it."

"It's just a bit dirty here." Xu Huai tapped the dirty place, "Just wipe it off."

"Okay." The waiter smiled, and asked Xu Huai casually, "Brother Xu, isn't the boss coming today?"

"The boss likes to be lazy and absent from work again. You can't learn from him." Xu Huai said helplessly.

The waiter laughed a little, and said to Xu Huai, "It's quite cold, brother Xu, go in first."

"Okay." Xu Huai scanned the glass door again, and found another dirty place, he pointed, "Wipe there too, rub it with a newspaper."

"Good." said the waiter.

Xu Huai nodded, and the waiter gave him a seat. He was about to open the door and go in, but he heard someone behind him calling him, "Xu Huai."

Xu Huai turned his head to look, and couldn't help being stunned: "Zhang Weilan?"

"Why are you here?" Xu Huai came back to his senses, smiled, walked towards Zhang Weilan, and subconsciously grunted, "Zhong Ning called you?"

"So." Zhang Weilan's face was bloodless, he looked up at the "Azure" signboard, his eyes were dark.He asked Xu Huai, "Is this the bar run by Zhong Ning?"

Xu Huai: "...you don't know..."

Xu Huai realized that what he said should not be said.However, everyone else was bumped into by Zhang Weilan at the gate of Azure, and they couldn't hide it.Besides, Zhang Weilan is back, as long as Zhang Weilan has a heart, even if the bar changes its name, he will know sooner or later.

"Then what." A gust of wind wrinkled Xu Huai's face, "Come in first, it's so cold."

Zhang Weilan followed Xu Huai up to the fourth floor, and heard the thick and melodious cello music as soon as he entered the door.It's still early, there are few people inside and it's empty, the curtains cover the light implicitly, there are no night birds, and the atmosphere is very comfortable.

"What would you like to drink?" Xu Huai led Zhang Weilan to the bar and sighed, "It's my first time here, I invite you."

Xu Huai pulled out a stool and sat down, and said to the bartender, "A glass of starry sky."

He glanced at Zhang Weilan: "A glass of orange juice?"

Xu Huai said: "If you are driving, I won't invite you to drink, let's drink some juice."

"Okay." Zhang Weilan didn't mind drinking juice or drinking.He asked, "Is Zhong Ning here?"

"Not here. It's unfortunate that you came, he skipped work today." Xu Huai put his hand on his chin and looked at Zhang Weilan helplessly.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, and when the wine and orange juice came up, Xu Huai waved and asked the bartender to go elsewhere.

Only then did Zhang Weilan speak again in a low voice, his voice was very deep, like the cold water that has been floating through the years and past its expiration date: "Who came up with the name Azure?"

"...You still ask me." Xu Huai took a sip of wine, "Zhong Ning started it, he is the boss. This bar was opened when I was in my junior year. We were still students at that time, and Joint venture, Zhong Ning's mother helped in many places. But the auntie doesn't understand English very well, and she doesn't understand the things that young people like. She asked, and Zhong Ning said that the name is "blue". What kind of blue is it? Did not say."

Xu Huai: "After graduating, Zhong Ning and I didn't like serious jobs, so we simply concentrated on doing this, and got on the right track little by little."

Zhang Weilan picked up the orange juice and drank half of it in one gulp, her throat was sour and sweet.He couldn't believe it and asked again: "So this name, is it really related to me?"

Xu Huai sighed: "How do I know? No one knows what Zhong Ning is thinking. But Wei Lan, Wei Lan, others may not think of it, and Zhong Ning can't be said to have nothing to do with it."

Zhang Weilan was shocked suddenly, only to realize that he was so full of confusion just now that he lost his composure and talked too much.The conversation between him and Xu Huai could no longer hold back, and it had even gone too far.

"Ah, it's okay." Xu Huai sensed Zhang Weilan's thoughts, and said first, "I have known about you two for so many years, so you don't need to hide anything from me, as long as you don't mind."

"You already knew?" Zhang Weilan was stunned.

"Yeah." Xu Huai's expression was indescribable, "I found out by accident. Just..."

He clicked his tongue, and as an outsider, he simply told the truth, and the rest can be entangled with these two bastards: "Eight years ago, when you just left, Zhong Ning didn't make a fuss."

Xu Huai: "First, I'm not blind, second, I'm not deaf, and third, I don't want to pretend to make everyone unhappy. So that's all I know."

Zhang Weilan was speechless.He remembered that when he had just left, that summer, he was roasting in the southern sun, maybe because his mental state was unhealthy, he insisted on bullying himself, and went to work as a porter, looking for some exhausting things to do .

He is not having a good time.Zhong Ning is also having a bad time.He tossed and tossed, but Zhong Ning did not toss lightly.

Zhang Weilan didn't dare to ask Zhong Ning how he was tossing about, and it's useless to ask Xu Huai now.The corners of his mouth were tightly drawn, and his lips were pale.

"Why don't you ask Zhong Ning to come over?" Xu Huai asked Zhang Weilan, "You are here, you...he..."

"No need." Zhang Weilan whispered.

"...That's fine." Xu Huai didn't know what kind of knot could not be untied between the two of them, but looking at it was useless enough.

Xu Huai pondered for a while, and finally said all he could say: "Zhang Weilan, I don't know what Zhong Ning is thinking, nor what's going on between the two of you. I'm a friend, so it's strange to say this. "

Xu Huai: "Anyway, Zhong Ning came up with the name Azure. Bars are trendy. Over the years, they have been renovated four times, and the brand has been changed twice, but the name has never been changed."

Xu Huai: "This is a fact. As for what it can represent, I don't know, let alone say."

After Xu Huai finished speaking, he started to drink his cup of starry sky, and Zhang Weilan asked another question when he got to the bottom of the cup.

All those timid and difficult temptations suddenly collapsed, and sharp stones fell from the sky, smashing through Zhang Weilan's heart, liver, spleen and lungs.

Zhang Weilan clasped his hands tightly, ten fingers exerted strength, squeezed tightly, and his joints turned white: "In these years, has anyone been around Zhong Ning? Has he been in love in these years?"

Xu Huai put down his wine glass, and tapped the bottom of the glass on the table lightly: "No. Not a single one. The bar environment is messy, and I have shown goodwill to him, but he hasn't talked about it."

Anyway, Xu Huai just told the truth, and he couldn't tell anything other than the truth.

The so-called "truth" is nothing but the deepest, but the most heart-piercing.
