comet tail

Mobile phone on the table.

Ai Xiaojia had already gone to the library to study, and Si Lu didn't know where to hang out, and she had nothing to do around her, so Lin Zixin decided to sit in the place where she spent the most time at night.

"I want you to look good!" Lin Zixin didn't know who she was speaking to, she put the phone in her pocket and went out.

Y University is located in the city center, sitting on some of the city's most charming small roads, old bungalows with sycamore leaves, and it is a good place to have fun when night falls.

Jiang Li saw Lin Zixin the first time he entered the bar.It seems that it has been like this since a long time ago, no matter how lively the environment is, my eyes will always be attracted to this little girl immediately.

She was sitting alone at the bar, still wearing the printed dress she had seen in class this afternoon, her half-length hair was hanging loose, with slight waves at the end, she looked very cute.

She should be talking to the bartender, and the young bartender stopped what he was doing, looking straight with his eyes.

What the hell are you trying to do again.Jiang Li thought.

Although only Lin Zixin's back can be seen from this angle, Jiang Li knows that she must be showing a smile that is too sweet at the moment.The people on the opposite side are haggling over something.

Jiang Li walked over slowly, and sure enough, he heard Lin Zixin's voice that sounded like fudge.

"Isn't there a hidden menu? The cocktails on it are too uncreative."

The young bartender was overwhelmed by her peach-like smile. While saying "yes, yes, yes" courteously, his subordinates started to move, and after several flower guns, they put the goblet filled with bright-colored liquid Push it in front of Lin Zixin.

Lin Zixin gave two "tsk tsk" in admiration, and was about to take it, but suddenly a hand was stretched out from behind, and firmly pressed the cup, Lin Zixin turned around a little annoyed to see who it was He was so courageous, but he didn't expect to be confronted with Jiang Li's half-smile face, and he was stunned.

Jiang Li looked at her condescendingly, with an indifferent expression and an even more indifferent tone: "Children, imitate what other people drink."

Lin Zixin was like a firecracker that exploded easily: "I'm already an adult! You're only a child! Your whole family is a child!"

A brisk smile flashed in Jiang Li's eyes, but her face remained calm. She did not face Lin Zixin's anger directly, but faced the bartender behind the bar, and slowly held the goblet under her hand. Tweeted back to him: "Give her soda and charge it to my account."

The bartender looked back and forth between Lin Zixin and Jiang Li for three seconds, then decisively took away the cocktail and replaced it with a glass of soda water.

"Hi!" Lin Zixin protested.

The bartender pretends to be busy with the next customer and moves away.

Jiang Li smiled lowly, knocked on the glass, and said in a tone as if he was coaxing a child: "Here, drink this. From now on, you will not come to this kind of place alone."

After finishing speaking, he patted Lin Zixin's head like a cat's hair, and checked the other's injury by the way. Seeing that the redness and swelling had subsided, he nodded, then turned and left.

Lin Zixin was inexplicably reluctant, subconsciously wanted to stop her, but just about to speak, she braked suddenly and closed it silently.

Hmph, don't let her lead you by the nose!Lin Zixin stared bitterly at the soda water in front of her, and was silent for a while, as if she couldn't help it, she raised her head and looked around, but there was no sign of Jiang Li as far as she could see.

Sighing, Lin Zixin felt a little wronged.

In fact, Jiang Li just went up to the second floor of the bar—the reason why he decided to meet here was partly because he liked the semi-open layout of the boxes on the second floor.

When Jiang Li pushed the door and entered, he saw the person who arrived first was leaning on the fence and looking towards the first floor. Her back was thin, her long hair reached her waist, and she was wearing a white gauze dress.

Hearing the sound of his footsteps, the man turned his face. His big almond eyes were somewhat similar to Lin Zixin's, but their eyes were much warmer and calmer than the former's. There was a hint of melancholy, as if with What's on your mind.

"Mu Xi," Jiang Li walked towards her and nodded in greeting, "Sorry, I'm late."

"Well, I saw you talking to your little white rabbit." Chen Muxi waved her hand, expressing that she didn't mind at all.

Jiang Li smiled wryly when he heard the words, and replied: "Where is the little white rabbit, it is clearly a little hedgehog."

He seemed to be complaining, but his tone contained three points of helplessness and seven points of pampering, and he clearly seemed to be enjoying it. The smile in Chen Muxi's eyes was even bigger, and there seemed to be something else vaguely mixed in.

The waiter knocked on the door and brought the wine in, and the two immediately sat down on the sofa facing each other.

"Long-lost campus, how does it feel?"

The two rows in front of them were full of short drinks, and Chen Muxi picked out a glass with a relatively safe color according to his preference, and asked.

Jiang Li didn't know whether he was recalling the situation in class during the day or thinking about which glass of wine to choose. After pondering for a while, he said, "It doesn't seem to have changed much."

Her words seemed ordinary, but Chen Muxi keenly sensed that the other party had something behind the strings, so she couldn't help but quickly glanced at Jiang Li, but she didn't catch any clues from the other party's expression.

After being silent for a while, Chen Muxi said casually again: "Is she okay?"

Jiang Li paused weakly in the posture of holding the wine, and answered cautiously: "It's still... the old way."

Chen Muxi didn't say anything. She lowered her head and wondered what she was thinking. After a long while, she suddenly said, "I'm divorced."

Jiang Li was stunned, and blurted out: "Really?"

"It's not a good thing, there's nothing to lie about." Chen Muxi raised a hand, and the smile disappeared at the end of the sentence, with an expression of loneliness that could not be concealed.

Jiang Li didn't know what it was like, stared blankly at her naked middle finger for a long while, and asked tentatively, "Is it... because of...?"

She didn't dare to mention that person formally, although Chen Muxi was still asking just now.

"Actually, there is no reason for anyone or not. I just feel that this should not go on." Chen Muxi answered ambiguously, took a sip from the wine glass, but did not put it back on the table, but Holding it in his hand, he became dazed.

Jiang Li had an intuition that he shouldn't quarrel with her, but he couldn't help feeling sad and regretful.Although the details of what happened back then are not very clear, but in the end, it was all the way. I always felt that I was too young and frivolous, and everything that should be and shouldn’t be can be stopped by time, and there is no chance to continue, but I didn’t expect it. There is always someone who remembers more deeply, and waits for more.

Lin Zixin's fresh and charming baby face suddenly appeared in his mind, and when he crossed the podium and caught her at first sight, Jiang Li could still feel the excitement in his heart.

She still looks so cheerful, with watery eyes, containing the innocence and dependence of a small animal.

It's been so long... and it's still... heart-wrenching.

Jiang Li felt a little frustrated, but also very sweet, mixed with other indistinguishable emotions, and felt a dull pain in his heart.

"Actually, Xiao Li," Chen Muxi's slightly ethereal voice brought Jiang Li back to her senses. When she looked over, the old friend smiled sincerely and blamed her, "You, don't learn from her in everything, she is Old Antique, are you too?"

"Hey, hey..." Jiang Li laughed dumbfounded, and after a while, propped his chin up again, as if talking to himself, and sighed softly, "But after all, he's not young anymore..."

little gossip

Afterwards, Chen Muxi couldn't hold back her drinking, and when Jiang Li sent her downstairs, the other party's steps were a little unsteady.

One hand supported Chen Muxi's waist to prevent her from falling, and the other hand volleyed to stop a taxi. When sending the person in, Jiang Li always felt a gaze fixed on his back, and turned his head away. Looking, there is a print passing by the corner of the eye.

Jiang Li paused for a while, and asked the people beside him, "Do you want me to see you off?"

Chen Muxi glanced at her vaguely, smiled and shook her head: "It's not like you haven't seen me when I drank harder, so it's nothing. If you have something to do, don't worry about me."

Jiang Li hesitated for half a minute before taking a step back: "Call me when you get home."

Then close the door.The ice-blue Santana drove straight away, turned a corner, and disappeared.

Jiang Li turned around and walked towards the bar again, but he didn't enter the door, but turned to the side, and he caught a little printed hedgehog under the dim light.When Lin Zixin saw her, she was surprised for a moment, and then her eyes widened, showing that she was fully armed.

"What are you doing hiding here?" Jiang Li asked, unable to hide the funny smile in his tone.

"It's against the law to come out to get some air?" It was a completely vexatious tone.

Such an awkward Lin Zixin actually made Jiang Li feel cute, so he couldn't help but want to tease her even more.

"Of course it's not illegal to breathe, but peeping is different."

"Tch, go home with whomever you like, I just..." Halfway through the sentence, Lin Zixin realized something was wrong, and abruptly stopped talking.

Unfortunately, it was too late, because the expression on Jiang Li's face was that of a successful winner.

Lin Zixin bit her lower lip angrily, the more she thought about it, the more she felt angry, but she didn't know how to refute, so she turned away and was about to run away, but suddenly Jiang Li grabbed her wrist.

Her fingers were slightly cold, and the moment she pinched her wrist, Lin Zixin couldn't help but flinch slightly.

Not to be outdone, she glared at her.

Jiang Li smiled warmly, and his tone was as soft as a freshly baked soufflé: "My friend for decades, she drinks too much, I don't necessarily want to help her."

Lin Zixin felt that her anger was calmed down in an instant. She seemed to be apologetic, but she still wanted to be brave, so she responded in a low voice.
