Embrace the light

At seven o'clock in the evening, Ian went out for a run, while Heng went out to work.

Resuming his time of running alone again, Yian put his mind on Nuan Huang's front and the road under his feet again.After running, still stretching, walk for a few minutes and walk home.Arriving at the "separation intersection", Ian stopped to look at the road leading to the gym. There were only pedestrians walking in twos and threes on the road.

Go home, wash up, continue to work, and then go back to the bedroom to sleep when the time comes.

Yi An lays on his own bed and texts Heng.

*Heng, did your first day at work go well?If you are busy, don't reply to my message.Be safe when you come back in the early hours. *

10 minutes passed, and sure enough, I did not receive a reply from Heng.

The bar should be busy now, I hope everything goes well for Heng.

Ian put the phone on the bedside table, then turned off the bedside lamp, closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep.

Heng over there is indeed very busy.

On the first day of work, Heng was assigned to work at the bar on the second floor.There is complete sound insulation between the second floor and the first floor, and there is no dance floor area on the second floor, only some brisk music is played, so it is much quieter than the first floor.

The bar is huge and there are five bartenders in total busy.Heng is a newcomer, so he was naturally placed on the outermost side.

However, this does not affect Heng's attention and popularity.One, Heng is a new face, which will make the customers who come here feel fresh.Second, Heng's appearance is very good, so he will naturally attract people's attention.[-]. Heng's mixing style is different from the other bartenders. He does not play tricks, but is elegant and neat, which makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally.There is also a small reason, that is Heng's "coldness", he does not greet customers with a smile like other bartenders.The customer orders and he prepares, and after the preparation is completed, it is delivered to the customer without smiling or stingy words, just like that, simply and neatly.But the more you look at someone who is not close to you, the more you want to get close to him, to be the one who is treated specially by him.

To sum up, Heng became the person next to the bar on the second floor who received the most attention from customers.

Other people's eyes can't affect Heng, he doesn't reject other people's eyes, and he doesn't care about other people's discussions, he just prepares the Yao wine ordered by customers step by step, doing his own work.

"Little brother, is it your first day at work today? I came here yesterday, and I haven't seen you yet." A cute girl with two fishbone braids struck up a conversation with Heng.

Heng finished the Yaojiu that the girl ordered, put it on the bar in front of her, and then replied "Yeah."

"'Tears of the Blue Devil', the symbol of true love." The girl held the wine glass with one hand, "You said I looked at you and said the three words 'I love you' to it, would it immediately shine? ?”

For this kind of teasing language, Heng Zi would not answer.

"Little brother, you are so boring. You don't answer even if you are joking, and it is not a gentleman to let a beautiful woman stand in the cold." Jian Heng was still busy with himself, and the girl was not embarrassed. She took a sip of Yaojiu, and then Said: "My name is Linda, and I will see you often in the future." After finishing speaking, he returned to his friend with his "Tears of the Blue Devil".

After mixing a few glasses of wine for several customers, Heng has no orders for the time being.He looked at a young man on the bar chair, who had been following Heng's every move with his eyes.But the young man didn't order any wine, and was drinking with a glass of juice in his hand.

Seeing Heng looking at him, he immediately smiled back, the smile was also very clean and pure.Just like Ian.

However, Ian's smile was warm and soft, but the young man in front of him smiled very melancholy.

Seeing that Heng is not busy now, the young man talked to Heng, "Your bartending movements are very similar to my brother. But he is not a bartender, he just likes to make drinks by himself."

Heng cast his eyes on him, and the young man continued to say, "I like the excitement in the bar, it makes me feel that I am not alone."

Heng didn't answer the conversation, but he didn't show any impatience either. Perhaps the young man just needed an audience at this time, and he and Heng were telling their own stories.

"My parents died in an accident when I was very young. It can be said that my elder brother brought me up like a brother like a father, so I have always been very attached to him. But now that I have grown up, my elder brother said that I should learn to live independently. He bought me a house near the company and let me live alone. I thought that my brother really did everything for my own good, so I worked hard to adapt to a life alone. But when I went home last week, I saw a Woman, my brother said, she is my sister-in-law, and the two are going to get married this year. It turns out that I just need to make room for another person to enter. They say that there is no relationship in this world that will never change. It seems It’s true, we’ve lived together for half our lives, but it doesn’t mean we’ll never be apart in this life. I really don’t want to grow up, what’s so good about growing up, it’s either separation or abandonment.” The young man shook the glass in his hand a few times, and the juice flowed The wall of the cup rotated and followed the height, and soon fell back to the original point, returning to a calm state.

"Want a glass of wine?" Heng asked him.

The young man shook his head, "I can't drink, I'm allergic to alcohol."

Heng stopped trying to persuade him.Without the suffering of others, it is impossible to fully understand the feelings of others, and the words of comfort are just a few light words that others themselves know.What's more, Hengben doesn't care about others.He can listen, but not give feedback.

Maybe I really just wanted to tell you that after the young man finished telling his thoughts, he didn't talk to Heng anymore, he was still sitting on the bar chair quietly drinking fruit juice and watching Heng making Yaojiu for other customers.

Although the working hours did not match his work and rest habits in the past few months, Heng Ye did not feel too sleepy or tired after working until the bar closed at two o'clock.

The bar is an interesting place.There are all kinds of people here. Under the cover of night, they release themselves, reveal their thoughts, and act as people who are different from those in the daytime or even completely opposite.

Taking out his mobile phone, Heng saw the message from Ian.After thinking about it, Ian must have fallen asleep at this point, Heng paused, deleted the typed words, and put the phone back into his trouser pocket.

When Heng returned home by night train, the house was not completely dark, and Ian left lights in the yard and hall for him.

Sleeping in the middle of the night, Yi'an heard rustling noises in the room. He slightly opened his sleepy eyes and saw a familiar figure walking in by the bedroom door.

"Heng, you're back." Ian greeted Heng vaguely.

"En." Heng responded to Ian's sleepy greeting, "Sleep."

Slowing down even more, Heng returned to his bed, lay down and fell asleep.

After his brain received the message "Heng has gone home", Ian quickly fell asleep with peace of mind.

In the morning, Ian got up lightly and left the bedroom.

Breakfast is ready, but I don't know if I should call Heng up to eat.Opening the bedroom door again, Ian poked his head in to have a look, Heng was soundly asleep.

It's better not to bother Heng, let him sleep until he wakes up naturally.

Ian carefully closed the door again, and put the porridge in the rice cooker to warm up. If Heng wakes up later, he can serve it and eat it by himself.

After strolling around the yard for a while, touching sunflowers and roses, and checking their growth, Ian will return to the control room and start working.

When preparing to make lunch, Ian came out of the control room and found that the door of the bedroom had been opened, but there was no sign of Heng inside.Yi An walked to the study, and saw that Heng was indeed leaning on the beanbag sofa and watching a projected movie.

Ian didn't disturb him. He went to the kitchen to look at the rice cooker. As expected, the porridge inside had been eaten, and the rice cooker and the bowls and chopsticks had been cleaned.

After making lunch quickly, Ian put the plates and chopsticks on the dining room table, and Heng Wensheng also came out of the study.

"Heng, what time did you wake up in the morning? In the future, I can refer to this time to save you an appropriate amount of breakfast, so that it won't affect your lunch because the time interval is too short."

"It's past ten o'clock."

Ian nodded, "Okay, let's postpone lunch after that. Eat three meals normally so that your health will not be affected."

Heng said, "No need."

Ian guessed that Heng might not want to affect his eating habits. Although this idea is a bit pretentious, he still feels a little happy when he thinks about it.

"It's okay. It's delayed until about one o'clock. It's not too long."

Ian put two pieces of crispy meat in Heng's bowl, "The night shift is very hard, Heng needs to eat more nutritious."

After dinner, Ian strolled around the hall for a casual meal, while Heng stood by the gate admiring the flowers in the yard outside.

The flower discs of sunflowers have been mottled, and now there are large gray-black fruits in the dense golden-yellow flower discs.

"Sunflowers are producing melon seeds, and they will be fully mature in ten days or so. At that time, they can be used to make spiced melon seeds, salt and pepper melon seeds, plum melon seeds, and spicy melon seeds. The melon seeds can also be used to make halva, shortbread, etc. "After Ian finished speaking, he couldn't help but smash his mouth, missing the crispy taste of his melon seeds very much.

When Minuo came back from vacation in early October, he was able to eat fresh melon seeds as snacks.

"Heng, how did you feel at work yesterday? Did it go well?" Ian asked Heng.

"not bad."

"Are you working on the first floor or the second floor? Is it noisy there? I'm afraid you won't get used to it."

Heng shook his head, "It's on the second floor, it's okay."

Ian nodded, "That's good. If you are not happy or going well, don't be patient. I can support the two of us well."

Heng smiled lightly, this is the legendary "doting".

"Is there a lot of people there at night? No one... bothers you?"

"No."

"Uh-huh."

After the lunch break, Ian was going to work, and Heng went to the gym.

At dinner, Heng came back on time, and Ian asked him to eat before going to wash.

It was still a long time before Heng got off work, and I was afraid that Heng would be hungry halfway, so Ian made fried rice for dinner, and added enough ham, meat and eggs to it.

At night, when Heng was about to go out to work, Ian took out a paper bag, which contained a glass of milk and a few snacks. The snacks were made by himself. They were clean, healthy and low in calories. They would be very suitable as a supper.

"Here are some snacks prepared for you. I'm afraid you will be hungry after work in the morning. But don't worry, these snacks are healthy and low in calories, and won't affect your figure."

Heng took the paper bag and did not reject Ian's offer.
