Embrace the light

There are many kinds of bartender uniforms in Jiye, and bartenders can choose to wear them every day. Heng chooses a simple white shirt and black trousers.

Although it is a shirt, the style is not business, but more casual.When Heng wore it, the top two buttons were not buttoned, and the whole person looked straightforward and elegant.

It was the first time Ian saw Heng dressed like this, and couldn't help staring at Heng Duo for a while.

"You're still handsome today, Anand." It was the young man sitting next to Mino who greeted Heng.

"Have a cup of 'Tropical Rainforest'?"

"Okay." The young man replied.

While Heng was concocting "Tropical Rainforest", Ian and Mino were browsing the wine list of Jiye, which was full of pictures and texts, which made people want to pay for tasting after reading it.

"Thank you." When Heng handed the prepared Yaojiu to the young man, he thanked him politely.

"I want a cup of 'Impression of the Last Days'." Mino finally chose a post-payment.

"Heng, I don't know Yao wine, do you have any recommendations?" Ian looked around, and the pictures and introductions on the wine list were very attractive, making it difficult to choose.Every name is unfamiliar, every type of Yaojiu is new, and everyone wants to try it.

Heng replied: "'Dream Interstellar', you should like it."

"Okay." Ian accepted Heng's suggestion and scanned the QR code to pay.

Heng first prepared the "Impression of the End Times" for Mino in the order of ordering, put it on the bar in front of Mino, and then lit the glass of wine under the gaze of the three of them.

Looking at the dancing blue flames, both Ian and Mino felt that the glass of wine was beautiful.

After the two each took out their phones and took a few photos, Mino extinguished the flames with a slice of lemon and took a sip.

Ian asked curiously, "How is it? What's the taste?"

Mino tasted it, "It tastes good, but it's not suitable for you. This is a glass of strong wine."

"Okay." Knowing that he can't drink enough, Ian lost some interest in this cup of "Impression of the End Times", and turned to stare at Heng, who was making "Dream Interstellar" for him.

After this period of training, Heng's bartending movements seemed to be more proficient and smooth than in the interview, and he still had a casual and elegant style. Ian enjoyed watching it very much.

Heng put "Dream Interstellar" on the bar next to Ian, and Ian said, "Thank you Heng, 'Dream Interstellar' is very beautiful. But, do I need to light this cup?"

Heng replied, "No need."

Ian picked up the wine glass, took a sip, sweet and sour, it was his favorite taste.

"It's delicious. But, Heng, isn't this glass of wine high in alcohol? I'm afraid I'll be drunk after drinking this glass."

Heng replied: "The prescription is very low. Drink slowly."

Later, Heng was busy, making Yao wine for the guests one cup after another, so he couldn't be idle.

Instead, the young man who had taken the initiative to talk to Ian and Mino before continued to chat with them.

"I heard that your name is Anand 'Heng'. It seems that 'Anand' should be his nickname in the bar."

Ian shook his head, not sure if this was specially arranged by the bar, or Heng himself thought of it.

"Meeting is fate, let's make friends. I'm 'Gawen', and I'm doing the research and development of intelligent robots."

"Ian."

"Mino."

After exchanging names, Gavin and the two switched to chatting about Heng again.

"Is Anand also so reticent in his daily life?"

"Well, Heng doesn't like talking very much."

Gavin nodded, "I've known him since his first day at work, and I've never been greeted proactively."

Yi An apologized: "Heng is such a character, please don't mind."

Gavin asked again: "Are you friends for many years?"

Ian replied, "It's family."

Gavin was a little surprised, "You brothers don't look alike. One should be like your father and the other like your mother."

Ian smiled, neither refuted nor approved.

"Your glass of 'Fantasy Interstellar' seems to be a little different from what I drank before." Gavin pointed to Ian's glass.

Mino zoomed in on the picture of the wine list on his phone and placed it next to Ian's wine glass. Comparing the two, he didn't see any difference for a moment.

"Your glass should be clearer." Gavin explained, "The one on the picture is the same as what I drink every day. It is thicker and stronger. It is a glass of medium-strength Yao wine."

Ian carefully observed and compared it, and it seemed to be the case.But he doesn't know Yaojiu, so he can't say why.

"This cup of yours should be specially made for you by Anand. I just heard from you that you don't drink very well, so he should have changed the ingredients in it."

Ian looked at the wine glass, then at Heng who was busy, "Well, maybe."

"I just didn't expect that Annard, who looks as cold as ice water, would take the initiative to be considerate and caring for others." Gavin shook his glass, "But people, no matter how cold or warm, there will always be someone It treats people specially. Others can only envy them."

At the end of Gavin's speech, his voice was a little low and sad.

Ian and Mino looked at each other. Although they didn't know what Gavin had gone through, it was definitely not a pleasant thing.

Mino comforted him and said, "Instead of expecting preferential treatment from others, it's better to treat yourself well. After all, in this world, people's hearts are fickle. Putting hope on others is actually a big gamble, and you have to recognize the win or lose."

"Yeah." Gavin rubbed his cheeks, "I'm sorry, I haven't had a very happy time recently, and if I don't pay attention, I will be sad and sad, which makes you laugh."

"It's okay." Ian said, "Isn't a bar just a place to drink away your sorrows and talk about it? Have a glass of wine, then go back and have a good sleep. The sun will rise as usual the next day, there is nothing difficult Hom."

The three shared wine glasses and touched each other lightly.

"Thank you. Talking to you, I feel a lot lighter in my heart." Gavin took a sip of wine, "In the future, we can often ask out to play, drink, dance and so on."

When it comes to dancing, Mino is a little itchy. In fact, he rarely comes to bars, and the number of times he dances in bars is very small, but he really likes the feeling of being unscrupulous and free to swing with the DJ.

"Shall we go down to disco together later?" Mino suggested, "Disco disco is quite interesting."

"But we haven't finished our wine yet." Ian looked at his and Mino's glasses.

Yi'an followed Heng's suggestion and drank slowly in small sips to prevent getting drunk, and there is still more than half of the glass left.But Mino has a good capacity for alcohol, and he drank it without any scruples, and the glass was almost bottomed out.

"Heng, can An An's wine be stored with you first?" Mino said to Heng after drinking the last sip of "Impression of the End Times" in his glass.

After Heng finished making the glass of Yao wine in his hand, he replied to Mino, "It can be stored, but the taste will change after a long time."

"Then I'd better go after drinking?" Ian said, "Nonuo, why don't you and Gavin go to play first, and I'll go down to find you later."

With Heng on the second floor, Mino felt more at ease, so he and Gavin first went downstairs to dance in the dance floor area.

The first cup of Yaojiu Heng made for himself was very meaningful. Ian wanted to drink it all up, and "Dream Interstellar" itself was beautiful and delicious, and Ian didn't want to waste it.

Anyway, it's okay to sit down, so Ian took out his mobile phone and started recording a video while Heng was making Yaojiu for the next guest.

He likes Heng's appearance when he is bartending, with less indifference and more enthusiasm, or in other words, love?

Ian could feel that Heng liked this job.

After making the Yao wine ordered by the guests, Heng looked at Ian. He was sitting quietly in the noisy bar. Perhaps because of the alcohol, his cheeks were more flushed than usual, and his fair skin was dotted with smoky red. It looks innocent and pure, and there is a trace, poor?

Heng likes the way Ian looks at him intently, pure, tolerant, gentle and full of expectation.

This expectation does not mean looking forward to his success, but a kind of trust in Heng.

Heng saw that he was bored sitting alone, so he took out two bags of candied fruit from the side of the wine cabinet, poured them into a clean small plate and put them in Ian's hand.Ian identified them, plums and olives, his favorite snacks.

"Thank you Heng." Ian picked up his phone to scan the QR code to pay, but Heng stopped him.

He looked at Heng and listened to Heng explain: "Family benefits."

family...

Ian liked the word, especially when it came from Heng's mouth.

"Okay." Ian put his mobile phone back into his pocket, "Is your bar not bad, and there are family benefits. But, is there a limit on the number of times? I can come once a month in the future, and eat and eat. drink."

"Three times." Heng said.

In fact, there is not only a limit on the number of times, but also a limit on quantity and amount, so when Mino and Ian paid for Yaojiu just now, he didn't stop him.

I didn't expect Ian to come to Polar Night, so Heng's original plan was to exchange them for Ian's favorite food and take them home when the quarterly benefits were settled.

The two chatted for a while between Heng's orders, mostly about the Yao wine on the wine list, which felt different from when they were at home.

Being in a noisy crowd seems to make the two of them more focused on each other.

Even if he didn't speak, Ian drank his Yaojiu and kept doing his work, but the two still looked at each other for a few seconds from time to time to confirm each other's existence.

This tacit feeling was forced to stop until Linda appeared.

"Little brother, have two cups of 'Luoying Fun'." Linda said to Heng after scanning the QR code to pay.

Linda had a female companion, and they sat on the bar chairs where Mino and Gavin had previously sat.

"Vera, how are you, handsome?" Linda raised her eyebrows, and said to her female partner, "I called you out to play, but you kept saying that you were not in the mood. Look at the handsome guy, what a pleasure, how could you be in the mood? ?”

"Handsome, that's right." Vera nodded and shrugged again, "But you know, this type is not my style."

"Hey——" Linda said helplessly, "Why do you like the uncle type? I think your parents are loving and your family is harmonious, and it doesn't seem like you lack love."

Vera rolled her eyes at Linda, "Prejudice, okay. I like uncles because they are mature, tolerant and gentle."

"Anyway, I don't understand." Linda rested her chin on her hands and stared at Heng who was mixing drinks. "I just like this kind of indifferent and abstinent look. It makes people want to conquer."

Ian couldn't help looking at Linda when he heard the words. Linda caught his slightly surprised eyes and gave him a flirty wink.

Ian blushed all of a sudden, he rarely had contact with girls, especially the unrestrained and passionate type like Linda, he didn't know how to get along with her.

Ian turned his gaze back, but Vera greeted him and said, "Hello, handsome boy, are you alone?"

"No." Ian shook his head.

"Where's your companion?"

"Go down there and play disco."

"Then you are alone now." Vera said, "How about drinking and playing games together? It's boring to stay here alone."

"I'm sorry, I don't have a lot of alcohol, so I'll just sit here." Ian replied.

Linda bumped Vera with her elbow and asked in a low voice, "Do you still like this one?"

Vera patted Linda on the back of the head, "It's just to make friends, don't look at anyone as a love target."

Heng put the prepared two cups of "Luoying Colorful" on the bar next to Linda and Vera, and the two thanked Heng together.
