Food Bureau

Not two days later, I saw a picture in Xiao Ziyan's circle of friends, with only one symbol in it, which was a heart.

I don’t know if it’s the so-called sixth sense or intuition, or, I know Xiao Ziyan’s style better. Of course she has subtlety, but her subtlety is often accompanied by words. After all, she is a DJ who is good at language. A symbol, never seen before, it's like... like what?The little girl's shy thoughts.

Couldn't resist posting a comment:

—Did you draw it?

She actually gave me a blushing and shy smile in reply.

Who will return my sister Ziyan?

Not long after, I checked Moments again, and saw Zhuo Bing's reply to her, which was also a heart.

There was a "thump" in my heart, and I was in a daze when Xiao Ziyan sent a private message:

——Seat~ Do you rest on Sunday?Shall we find a place to have a drink or two?

I curled my lips and told her back:

——Why do you pick my days off to drink elsewhere?

——I also rest on Sunday, thinking that we are not working, we can play as much as we want, and you can also drink, right?After all, I am not Shang Wan, I have such a charm that I can persuade you to drink while working.

——Sister, are you tired of typing so many words?

—Sunday!Ordered you!

I thought about it:

- "Knight" bar at 06:30 on Sunday night.

What I like most about "Knight" is that it not only makes good wine, but also has good food, so that you don't have to eat dinner elsewhere before going there. 06:30 Ah You hasn't started working yet, we can still chat.

I said hello to Ayou early in the morning. I wanted to bring a friend over today. I thought she would be able to talk before work started. I didn’t expect her to be very busy today. It turned out that the keyboard player was sick today, so I invited someone else to come in the afternoon Replacement, I am busy at the moment to seize the last time to cultivate a tacit understanding.

Xiao Ziyan wore a pink puff-sleeve jacket today, which was as short as the ribs, revealing a muscular waist, and a pair of light blue wide-leg jeans underneath.

"Okay, more and more youthful and warm~" I gave her a thumbs up.

Xiao Ziyan took a sip of the straw happily and smiled. She didn't have a small face that is popular nowadays, but the good-looking features and proportions make this face look very feminine, and it is more than an Internet celebrity face. advanced sense".

We ordered some snacks, such as sesame chicken, mini burgers, etc. Before the food arrived, Ayou came in a hurry, grabbed the ice water in front of me and drank it, wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, "I'm thirsty!"

"What's the matter? Capitalists are so hateful? They don't even provide you with a glass of water, and they still want to rub customers?" I didn't forget to hurt her.

Xiao Ziyan laughed over there. I remembered that I hadn’t formally introduced the two of them, “Here, my sisters, what’s your name? Zuo Xiaochen, just call her Ayou. Red resident singer!" In front of others, I usually pay attention to the gender distinction, and don't yell "buddy buddy".

"Ayou, this is Xiao Ziyan's original words of 'Ziyan Ziyu'." I asked Xiao Ziyan beforehand if I could introduce her to my best friend, and I already got her permission.

"Oh my god! Zi Yan! I grew up listening to your program!"

Pfft... Xiao Ziyan couldn't hold it anymore, so he hurried to find a napkin.

She looked Ayou up and down, "Well, it seems that the show is doing well, the surname is Zuo, and the name is Ayou, so cute~"

"Oh, thank you for the compliment, I'm 'woo' from 'bless', but cute is still cute."

I rolled my eyes upwards, waiting for her grandpa's story, waiting for nothing to come.

"No more?" I asked her.

"It's gone," she looked at me innocently, "Oh, Sister Ziyan really lives up to her voice, and the real thing is also very charming!"

I hold my forehead.

"There's no... there's no..."

If the noise continues, I'm afraid Xiao Ziyan will want to change places.

"You, it's just that you are not as good as your voice," I interrupted her, "Sister Ziyan, don't look at her being noisy now, she will definitely be different after a while."

"Okay," Xiao Ziyan said with a smile, "I can't wait to hear it."

Sending this little female Buddha away, I shook my head, "She sings really well."

Xiao Ziyan laughed, "Why do you act like you want to be respected by others, I think she is very cute, she is more open than us, I admire such a girl very much."

Talking about the dishes we ordered came, and the dishes were laid out one by one, I looked up at Xiao Ziyan, "How are you doing recently? You seem to be in a good mood."

"Really?" She looked up from the plate and smiled at me, with stars dancing in her eyes, "You can see that?"

"Tell me, what's the happy event?"

She looked away and thought for a while, "It's nothing, eat quickly, I'm hungry!"

I expected that Xiao Ziyan invited me out for a drink because he had something to talk about, but he just needed a hot spot, "I recommend you a wine called 'Deep Throat'."

After we finished the red wine that came with dinner, "Deep Throat" was served, "Try it," I pointed to her glass, "the last time I drank this wine, I was invited by Burning Ice."

The cup flicked, and a ray of light fell on Xiao Ziyan's face, making her brows and eyes full of emotion, and the radiance radiated with the shaking liquid.

On the stage, Ayou began to sing:

(If it wasn't because of loving you) how could I still not sleep late at night

Every thought is about you, I miss you, miss you, miss you so much

(If it's not because I love you) how can I feel uneasy

Love is a tormenting thing, but you can't bear to give up like this

Keep guessing if you have my name in your heart

……

Love is my only secret, heartbreaking yet mesmerizing

We were all quiet, listening to Ayou's deep voice quietly, weeping and complaining, for a long while:

"Boss, are you familiar with Zhuo Bing?"

I shook my head, "I met her by chance here. The time I met her in the gallery with you was the second time I saw her."

"That's also very predestined." She seemed to be talking to herself.

"Sister Ziyan, did you draw that painting in Moments?"

She nodded, and took a sip of half a glass of "Deep Throat", "It tastes really good."

"Painting, you really care about it."

I learned this unclear tone from Shang Wan, I don't know whether it is a question or a conclusion.

"Ah?" She really couldn't continue, "Oh, a 30-year-old woman should have a meaningful hobby."

Awesome, she learned too.

But this sentence is not subtle enough. I figured out that the key point is not only the tone, but also the combination of content and tone. Some words, questions and conclusions, have two meanings, one day and one place.

"Sister Ziyan, what does turning 30 mean?"

She sipped her wine, her eyes dimmed, "It means... It's time to clearly understand what I want."

"Um……"

She smiled, "It's just a way of saying, 30 years old is not a switch, it seems that the switch is triggered at this age."

I almost smiled wryly, "Just like me, I can't imagine how I will change in two years, as if I knew what I wanted early on..."

When I said this, I was thinking about my studies and life, but it seemed that at that moment, after two glasses of wine, my melancholy and Xiao Ziyan’s were on different channels.

"Really? You came out early, didn't you?"

I was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the topic jumped here, and nodded confusedly, "After graduating from high school, I knew I was admitted to an American university, so I announced it to my family."

Xiao Ziyan rested his chin on one hand, and leaned forward slightly, "Then...how did you...know that you like girls?"

"Ah, this, this is a long story, maybe I knew it when I was very young? I liked the beautiful little girl in our class when I was in kindergarten."

"Pfft..." Xiao Ziyan's eyes were bent with a smile, and he tilted his head and thought for a while, "Then I don't have one. My kindergarten and elementary school are all beautiful little girls in my class~"

I laughed, then suddenly stopped, "Why do you want to compare? You are straight."

"Hmm..." Xiao Ziyan responded, and then lowered his head to drink the wine in the glass.

The atmosphere was a little weird for a while.

"Boss, tell me... will many things about people change throughout their lives?"

"Of course, with age, women's estrogen will become less and less, the body will gradually thicken from the side, and the face will also age. Oh, and the allergens will change every few years..."

I looked at Xiao Ziyan's face that was hesitant to talk, "Sometimes my sexual orientation will change."

Her eyes lit up, and she was immediately covered with a layer of embarrassment, "Really?"

I shrugged noncommittally.

She sipped the wine, her eyes were full of thoughts, and she was about to say something.

"Sister Ziyan, you and Zhuo Bing... are you okay?"

Her eyes were like a frightened rabbit, and she glanced away, "Do you think... I have something to do with her?"

I shrugged, "If you have anything to say, please tell me."

When she raised her eyes again, her eye circles turned red, "You'll think I'm bad."

I was a little worried, and shook my head, "Everything in the world of mortals can be forgiven."

She lowered her head and pondered for a while before she nodded, "Well, she and I... really have something to do."

I couldn't help raising my head and let out a long breath, as if the bad thing I suspected earlier was finally confirmed, and my heart settled instead.

"How long?" I asked her.

"I can't tell... maybe it started on the first side, maybe... who knows, but what really happened is in Batam..."

"It happened..." My brain was spinning rapidly.

"One day I acted as a mannequin for her, and then..." She lowered her head and bit her lip.

I couldn't help but gasped again, and I didn't know how to persuade him. If Zhuo Bing hadn't told me those things when he was drunk, maybe I would change my thinking angle and think about it. If Xiao Ziyan lived to be 30 years old and liked a woman, If I found true love, I would encourage her to divorce and start over again, but Zhuo Bing is such a person that I can't say enough words to encourage her, I'm afraid it will probably hurt her.

"I know that I did something wrong, and I know that you despise me from the bottom of my heart. I have nothing to argue with. Cheating is cheating, but... I really can't find anyone to talk to." She said this until she choked up, Receive it in time.

"I won't despise you, you don't have to think about it, but, Sister Ziyan, I'm curious what Zhuo Bing said, she is the person involved, and she also knows that you have a family, what is her attitude?"

"We... don't discuss this too much. After all, it is very heavy to say. When it comes to it, she said that as long as I am happy, she doesn't ask for anything."

I took a deep breath. I didn't expect that the two of them had developed to such an extent in just a few weeks. In fact, sometimes, not asking for it means not intending to be responsible.

I considered whether I should tell Xiao Ziyan what Zhuo Bing said that day, and even said that the rumors about her and Shang Wan... No, the latter can't say anything, it's just spreading rumors.

"Sister Ziyan, I know you were unhappy some time ago, your family gave birth, it seems that your marriage and career have fallen into a dilemma of either-or, at this time you met Zhuobing... I can see that you are very happy now, little girl I can feel the love feeling from you, but in fact, I don't know if she will be a bright firework for a while. As your friend, I must say, compared with Burning Bing, the bet you put in is more important. big."

She stirred the residual ice in the glass, nodded after a while, "Thank you for reminding me of this."

I was thinking about how to continue, and a person walked in hurriedly through the entrance. The person walked too quickly, and the feeling of burning under his feet was seriously inconsistent with the atmosphere of the whole venue. Everyone looked over for a while.

It was a long-haired woman, wearing a commuter suit and high heels, she looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.The woman walked straight towards the stage, until Ah You also saw her, the singing stopped, and she looked at her in a daze, oh!she is……

Before I could come up with a name, the woman had already stopped in front of Ah You, stopped her feet and raised her arms, and slapped Ah You's face with a crisp slap.

The venue was silent for a second, and then there was a small-scale commotion. I had already stood up and walked towards the stage under Xiao Ziyan's horrified gaze.

Ah You received that slap, his face was full of grievances, but he didn't say anything, he was in a daze.

I stopped between Ah You and that woman, "You can't let your beating be for nothing, let's go out and make it clear." She is the senior sister whom Ah You broke up with a while ago.

The manager on duty and the security guard came over there.

Senior sister looked at me, "What can I say to people like you!"

Ah You was furious, and when I raised my head and was about to say something, I suppressed it, "Go and sit with Zi Yan for a while." As I spoke, I gestured to Xiao Ziyan, pointing at A You, and she nodded.

The manager came over, "What happened?"

"I'll take her out, please take care of Ayou." I told the manager.

Ayou's eye circles were red, and he couldn't hold back anymore. He stood up and walked towards our booth.

The senior sister reluctantly came out with me, walked to the door, and threw a word at me: "You tell Zuo Xiaochen, don't blame others if you don't make up your mind to go on, and get rid of the straight girl again, don't want to Accumulate some evil virtues for yourself!"

This... I froze in place, watching her stride away, sighed, turned and walked back to the "Knight".

In the corner, Ah You was curled up at the corner of the booth, covering almost his entire face with his hat, and Xiao Ziyan was sitting beside her, with his hands on her knees.

I sat down and took a gulp of ice water to cool down.

"I don't know, I thought I slept with her man." Ayou muttered under the brim of his hat.

"How did you divide it? Did you force it?" I asked.

"No, I've been unhappy for a while, and then I proposed to break up, and she also agreed, it's a tie, how do you know she's upset again after two weeks?"

"She wants me to bring you something..." I was about to say it, but I stopped when I remembered Xiao Ziyan was beside me.

"Let's talk, let's provide some material for Zi Yan's program."

Xiao Ziyan was trembling at first, but she couldn't help laughing again when she heard this sentence, I shook my head at her, "The child was stunned."

I cleared my throat, "Well, she said, stop messing with straight girls, don't hurt her." After I finished speaking, I went to see Xiao Ziyan.

When she heard this, her face turned red.

"Damn," Ah You was still weak, "Go and ask her, did she take the initiative to tease me at the beginning?" She waved her hand, "That's all, who told us to pull, at the bottom of the discrimination chain, It's our fault that something happened, she is the victim, a straight girl, she can't be provoked, she should hide."

"Okay, okay, stop complaining, and reflect on yourself, did you start too impulsively at the beginning, and ended too hastily," I paused, "Of course, it's her fault to hit someone, and pick this occasion ...how about tonight's performance?"

"What can I do, apologize later and continue acting, how can I be so delicate."

"Ah?" Xiao Ziyan sighed, "Can't you? Ask the manager for a leave, we're not here anymore."

Ah You looked at me, and I thought about it, "Sister Ziyan is right, don't wrong yourself too much, let's forget it tonight!"

"Bang bang bang! My sister is no longer serving me!" Ayou lifted his hat and stood up.

In this way, we asked for leave together for Ayou, and the manager on duty was not a good person. Although Ayou temporarily transferred a singer to help her, he still insisted on deducting Ayou's salary for a week, saying that he had damaged the reputation of the bar. There is also a discount for the guests, and Ah You will bear all these losses.

"Come on, it doesn't cost much to deduct a week's salary!" Ayou said when he came out of the bar.

The three of us bought a few bottles of beer from a small supermarket, and chose a quiet place by the river to stay. The feasting lights reflected in the water immediately became poetic, and the noise not far away dissolved into background notes in the moonlight.

We lay on the concrete parapet by the river, feeling the pleasure of "escaping", skipping school, skipping work, escaping marriage... These are all actions that make people feel pleasurable. What are we escaping at this moment?Probably the sense of responsibility, the sense of responsibility of the singer, the sense of responsibility of the wife, the sense of responsibility to persuade these two people to "correct their evil and return to the right".

"Ahhh—bah!" Ah You yelled towards the river, and finally spat into the river.

"What are you doing?" I sipped my beer and asked her lazily.

"Try it! It's so cool!" She teased me.

I took a sip of the wine and spat it far into the river.

"Are you happy?! Is it that you can't do it even if you are killed?!"

"Yes!!"

"You you you! It's your turn!" Ayou went to tease Xiao Ziyan again.

She hesitated, "Ah...?"

"Hurry up, don't be silly!"

Xiao Ziyan also imitated me, took a sip of wine, stretched his neck...

"Hey, you can't do this! It's too delicate! Look at me!" Ayou said, and flew out of a parabola boldly.

Xiao Ziyan let out a "bah", and shot a sip of wine far away.

The three of us split up into wicked social little blind streams at the moment, laughing foolishly together, the wind blowing from the water in the late summer and early autumn was very refreshing.

"What do you want to do most? How about shouting into the river?" Ayou said loudly, "I most want to participate in next year's national singer audition! Become a real singer! The kind who releases an album!"

I put down the bottle and applaud her.

"It's your turn!" She patted me on the shoulder.

"I want to go back to the United States and finish my book! I want to be an architect!"

I didn't even think about saying this, as if it had always been there, engraved in my bones, but what I was most afraid of was that it would be engraved on my epitaph in the future.

"Sister Ziyan!" Both of us urged Xiao Ziyan.

"I most want to figure out which direction I should go!!"

I was silent, thinking for no reason that the day I broke into the Burning Ice Gallery, I met her at the intersection of Xiao Ziyan’s house. At that time, she took my arm, and I asked her where she was going. There was a strange feeling, inexplicable worry, even sadness, and I didn't know which direction she was going to go.

"There," I pointed to the street not far from the entrance of the bar, "that night when I first met Burning Bing, she led a group of peripheral girls and had conflicts with people at the nightclub. The Maybach picked her up."

The author has something to say: The next update will be at eleven o'clock in the morning on Saturday, okay~
