Bohemia

"Mom, when can I go out?"

"You can't go out."

In the darkness, Yan Huan suddenly opened his eyes, only to realize that it was just a dream.

He sat up from the bed, stretched out his hand and turned on the screen of his mobile phone. It was ten fifteen, and it was not yet noon.

How can I dream of the past again?Yan Huan thought with a headache.

The small hotel had no windows, and no light could come in. Yan Huan just sat quietly in the dark for a while, and when he was fully awake, he got out of bed and turned on the light.

The incandescent light was a bit dazzling, Yan Huan took off his shirt irritably, took a kettle to boil some water, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

He deliberately turned up the water temperature, and after taking a bath, Yan Huan's neck was burned red.

The sound insulation here is so bad, Yan Huan kept thinking when he was getting dressed, which stingy person would bring his girlfriend to live in such a hotel, and what kind of love can be so selfless?Fortunately, he checked the time last night and counted it for 15 minutes, as long as it didn't affect his falling asleep.

After taking a shower, Yan Huan put on an extra thick coat, and honestly put on a woolen cap, hiding his ears before going out.The wind here is too strong. When walking on the street a few days ago, Yan Huan felt that his head was about to be blown off.

some days ago……

Yan Huan thought of Xie Xiunan again inappropriately.

Of course he didn't go back, and he didn't think that Xie Xiunan would always be there waiting for him.It's just that Xie Xiunan's impression on him was so deep that Yan Huan couldn't express it, but he always felt that it was not easy to meet him.

After leaving the small dark room in the hotel, Yan Huan had a sense of seeing the light from the dungeon again.

When he reached the street, he took a deep breath of winter air.

I don't know where Xie Xiunan went afterwards.Yan Huan shook his head, feeling that he was really strange.

Yan Huan grew up in a small city inland. Before he left home, he had never seen the sea.

Leaving there a few years ago, the first place he went was Xiamen.He liked Xiamen quite a lot, and after staying on the island for a month, he slowly moved around.

He also came to Qingdao, but it was summer at that time, not as cold as it is now.

Yan Huan put his hands in his pockets, walked slowly to the train station, and then followed the signs to the trestle.

Huilan Pavilion is not big, just at the end of the trestle bridge.

Yan Huan sat on the stone steps outside Huilan Pavilion in a daze, looking at the boundless sea around him.After a while, he took out a diary from his backpack, opened it and wrote today's date.

Yan Huan's habit of keeping a diary has been maintained for more than ten years. He has been writing since the fifth grade of elementary school.During adolescence, Yan Huan wrote a lot, and wrote in anger, filling several notebooks and using more than a dozen fountain pens.Later he also wrote, but the words were less, and the content became quieter. Many times, he just jotted down where he was today and what he ate.

Yan Huan looked at the sea, then at the blank notebook, and the first thing that popped into his mind was Xie Xiunan.

He knew how to write "Xie", but he was not sure what the next two words were.

So Yan Huan only wrote a flamboyant thank you word, and stopped writing.

He was thinking about Xie Xiunan again, he really went to hell.

Yan Huan closed the diary with a snap and put it in his bag, ready to find something for himself to do.If he continued to idle like this, he was afraid that he would do some unthinkable things.

Yan Huan went back the same way.

Zhongshan Road is quite lively, there is a bus line from the airport, and there are many various small shops on both sides of the road.

When Yan Huan occasionally stays in a certain place, he also goes to do short-term jobs.He wandered around and entered a bar.

At this point, there is no one in the bar, just a 40-year-old woman at the bar.

"Hi." Yan Huan smiled at her.

The woman was plump, with curly hair, wearing a bright red wool coat, and she was smoking a cigarette with her head bowed.After seeing Yan Huan, she had no expression on her face, she just looked Yan Huan up and down a few times.

"What do you want?" she asked.

Yan Huan said, "Are you hiring?"

He saw a job advertisement at the door.

"Apprentice, three thousand a month, including food." The woman said indifferently, "How is it? What are you doing?"

"Do it." Yan Huan replied.

He answered very simply, but the woman hesitated for a moment, Yan Huan looked at her with a smile, "I have experience."

"Not from the local area?" the woman said, "You can just call me Sister Li."

Yan Huan said politely, "Sister Li."

"My relative is working here, and I came here to join him...something happened, so I can only rely on myself." Yan Huan started talking nonsense.

Sister Li nodded, then looked carefully at Yan Huan's face, and said, "You look pretty good, are you still studying?"

Yan Huan shook his head and said, "Don't read it anymore, your grades are not good."

"Yeah." Sister Li put out the cigarette butt, her face was a little unclear behind the flickering smoke, "Then let's do it first, when will you come?"

Yan Huan said, "You can do it now."

Sister Li smiled and said, "Okay, but we are going to have dinner, you can come together."

This is a windfall.

Before Yan Huan started working, he had a meal with him first.

After eating, Yan Huan went to learn how to mix wine with the bartender.The bartender here is a tall girl with long hair dyed blond and wearing a short black leopard-print jacket, looking very dashing.

"Fuck, Miss Li, why did you recruit such a handsome apprentice?" Qiqi, the bartender, said in surprise when she saw Yan Huan.

Sister Li rolled her eyes at her, and said with a bit of disgust: "Seriously, look at you so cheap."

Kiki made a face.

Yan Huan knows wine, and it is very convenient for her to teach her.

Kiki asked, "Hey, where are you from?"

Yan Huan said, "There in Shanxi."

"Datong?" Qiqi said after thinking for a long time.

Yan Huan smiled and said, "Have you seen Jia Zhangke's "The Old Man in Mountains and Rivers"?"

Qiqi's eyes widened. She drew thick eyeliner and said, "Oh my god, Jia... what? I only know Zhang Yimou."

Yan Huan said: "Well... Fenyang, Fenyang, Shanxi, that's where I came from."

Kiki said, "...oh."

This happens when Yan Huan doesn't want to chat with people. He deliberately changes the topic, but Qiqi can't catch up, so he quickly loses interest in him.As night fell, the bar became lively.Yan Huan was an apprentice, so he stood aside and helped Qiqi.

Kiki is pretty good-looking, and some customers just sit at the bar and chat with her.

Yan Huan always lowered his head slightly, and someone asked: "Qiqi, who is this?"

Qiqi smiled and said, "He's new here."

Yan Huan went to the bathroom halfway, and when he came back, he overheard Qiqi's voice: "The new apprentice is a bit strange."

He didn't care too much, but when he looked up occasionally, he saw a man sitting in the booth opposite.

Yan Huan: "..."

impossible?

Black coat, dirty backpack, jeans and booties...

And the fuck is Xie Xiunan? !

Yan Huan was really about to collapse this time, and almost smashed the glass on the spot.Reflexively, he squatted down, revealing only a pair of eyes, secretly observing Xie Xiunan.

Kiki: "..."

"Hey, what are you doing?" Qiqi looked down at him.

Yan Huan raised a finger and hissed at her.

Qiqi: "..." She felt that Yan Huan was a bit strange, see?

"Sister Qiqi." Yan Huan looked at it for a while, then tentatively said, "There are foreigners?"

Qiqi couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and said, "Have you never seen a foreigner? What's wrong, this is from Qing Dynasty."

Yan Huan rubbed his nose and said, "...No, I just think that person is very good-looking, he looks like a model."

Qiqi glanced at Xie Xiunan, and said, "Oh, he is quite handsome. He is British, studying at Cambridge University, and came to China to find his girlfriend."

Yan Huan: "???"

"Cambridge?" Yan Huan looked at her.

Qiqi said: "Yeah, you don't even know Cambridge..."

Yan Huan said: "No, I know...you wait, let me stroke it."

What did Xie Xiunan tell him that day?Isn't it the script of American scumbags falling in love with Suzhou girls and then leaving?Why the hell is he now a top student in Cambridge, England?

Hold.

Yan Huan couldn't help cursing in his heart, he knew Xie Xiunan was a little liar.

Qiqi over there went on to say: "But he is also quite pitiful. I talked to a girlfriend on the Internet, and finally had the opportunity to come to China. In the end, his girlfriend not only gave him green, but even the last bit of money on him. cheated."

Yan Huan: "..."

Yan Huan laughed back angrily, and said, "Then...then what should he do?"

Qiqi blinked her eyes, lowered her voice and said, "I don't know, I think Sister Li means..."

"Huh?" Yan Huan unconsciously became curious.

"Give him some commission." Qiqi said, "You see, he is quite popular, he attracts customers, and our wine sells well..."

The light bulb on Yan Huan's head suddenly lit up, and he said clearly, "Wine holder?"

Qiqi patted his shoulder vigorously, and said fiercely: "What are you talking about!"

Yan Huan was about to vomit blood after patting the girl, so he waved his hand quickly.

Qiqi said: "You've been busy all day, why don't you leave early today?"

Seeing Xie Xiunan, Yan Huan didn't want to stay here any longer, so he went along with the flow: "Okay, see you tomorrow."

He ran to the back of the bar to get something, and greeted Sister Li again.The back door of the bar was a dark alley, Yan Huan walked slowly back to the street with his bag on his back.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the alley, Xie Xiunan stopped him.

"elder brother."

Yan Huan stopped and did not speak.Xie Xiunan turned his back to the light, smiled, and said, "Everyone says it's only three things, but counting today, this is already the fourth time we've met."

"I spent the money." Yan Huan said.

Xie Xiunan tilted his head and said, "It's okay."

Yan Huan looked at him, "Then what do you want?"

Xie Xiunan came a little closer, and said in a low voice, "It's not good, I waited for you for a long time that day, at least give me some compensation."

"What do you want?" Yan Huan raised his eyebrows and asked.

Xie Xiunan smiled and said, "I want to know your name, okay?"
