bite

The drummer of the band just walked past them.The cigarette butts of the two touched lightly at close range, and the cigarette in Lin Yuanye's mouth remained unlit.

He felt strange in his heart, but since he had no smoking experience, he could only stare at his cigarette butt in silence.Seeing his situation in his eyes, Cheng Liao took the initiative to step back, raised his eyes and asked him, "Can't you light a cigarette?"

Lin Yuanye was slightly stunned, and there was a bright question in the eyes that looked at him.

Cheng Liao bit his cigarette and laughed lowly, "I want to take a puff."

Lin Yuanye lowered his eyes suddenly, and approached him calmly, as if he wanted to try again.Cheng Liao didn't let him try it, reached out and pinched the cigarette away from his lips, turned around and threw it into the trash can.

"If you can't smoke, don't smoke." The man urged.

After being seen through by the other party, Lin Yuanye didn't feel embarrassed at all, and explained in a calm tone: "I really don't know how to do it, but there are occasions when I need to know how to—"

"I don't need it here." Cheng Liao interrupted him, pinched the cigarette in his mouth with his fingertips, pressed it out and threw it into the trash can, "Let's go."

Seeing him walking straight into the night before, Lin Yuanye chased after him with a surprised expression and said, "You haven't finished smoking yet."

"You don't need to finish smoking." Cheng Liao stopped walking when he heard the sound, "It's just used to cover up the smell of perfume on his body."

Lin Yuanye looked at him thoughtfully. Although he occasionally saw Cheng Liao smoking, the man's addiction to smoking didn't seem to be that great.Remembering that the lighter was still held in his hand, he spread his palm towards the other party and asked, "Do you still want the lighter?"

Cheng Liao glanced into his palm, "Throw it away."

Lin Yuanye turned his head to look for the trash can on the side of the road, but what he was thinking about was that Cheng Liao didn't ask the reason for the two people's mouth-to-mouth lighting just now, nor did he show any expression of rejection of the accident.

"Do you often light cigarettes like this with others?" He looked back and asked.

"Occasionally." After a pause under his gaze, Cheng Liao replied in a low voice, "When something unexpected happens."

Lin Yuanye narrowed his eyes and thought for a second, and temporarily chose to believe his words.

Separated from the other party at the fork in the road, after returning to his place of residence, Lin Yuanye called the bar owner.The boss also didn't expect that the lead singer and guitarist of the band received tips tonight and temporarily called the drummer out for supper.

Fortunately, Cheng Liao didn't see the drummer, so he didn't say anything more.Instead, the boss made a joke. Since the new drummer is so popular, why not transfer him to the bar's security guards starting tomorrow.

When Lin Yuanye heard the words, he just smiled without comment, and had no intention of taking the joke seriously.

After finding out his attitude on this matter, the boss wisely didn't mention it again.After all, running a bar in a small town is not an easy task.If it weren't for Lin Yuanye's large financial support, he wouldn't have had so much money to open the bar.

Although I don't know where Lin Yuanye came from, he is still a shareholder who invests in his own bar, so he naturally wants to pay for it.

On the second day, many people on the construction site heard about Cheng Liao's part-time job as a band drummer in a bar.Babyface worked part-time in the town during the day, and contacted Lin Yuanye when he was busy, and asked him to go to the bar to watch Cheng Liao play drums at night.

Lin Yuanye agreed.

He didn't go to find Cheng Liao, but stayed at home and read the materials sent by Yang Jinnian.Yu Weiwei's identity, which he found out in the bar, was indeed true. He had been studying abroad since middle school, and he had only recently returned from abroad.

But what made Lin Yuanye erroneously confuse the story was that Yu Weiwei really had a younger brother, who was not inferior to his sister in appearance and education.Lin Yuanye was not interested in Yu Weiwei's younger brother, what really interested him was Yang Jinnian's extraordinary attention to that younger brother.

"You studied in China, how do you still know her brother?" The other party stared at him in the video and asked.

"I don't know her brother." Lin Yuanye flipped through the information on the tablet and replied without looking up.

"Since you don't know her younger brother, how do you know that she has another younger brother?" Yang Jinnian asked persistently.

Lin Yuanye was speechless for a moment, then he said absently and perfunctorily: "What does it matter to you whether I know his brother or not? Instead of caring about Yu Weiwei's brother who has never met, you should pay more attention to him. When will your college classmate and boss go home."

Hearing this, Yang Jinnian said with a hesitant expression, "The company also has business segments abroad, so he probably won't come back for the time being."

He also studied abroad at the beginning, and only gradually became familiar with each other.After graduating from university, Yang Jinnian returned to China.The other party stayed abroad for a long time because of some problems at home.

Yang Jinnian has started a business with the other party since he was in college. After graduation and returning to China, the company's domestic business development will naturally all fall on him.

For people from their family background, it is common for them to go abroad for university gilding.And Lin Yuanye, who stayed in China to study since childhood, is quite rare in their circle.

Lin Yuanye didn't go abroad to go to school, poor grades were one thing, not getting used to foreign food was the most important factor.The family members have been more indulgent to him since he was a child, so naturally his own wishes should be given priority in everything.

Even for the accident that sent Cheng Fei to the hospital, Lin Yuanye was thrown by his father to live in the countryside for a year, apparently to make him suffer more and reflect on his mistakes.In fact, he was worried that Cheng Fei would use the power of the Cheng family to retaliate, and temporarily let Lin Yuanye leave to avoid the limelight.

Although a wealthy dude like Cheng Fei can't touch the Lin family's interests, relying on the Cheng surname in his name, he can easily find someone to tamper with Lin Yuanye's food, clothing, housing and transportation in private.

Therefore, although Lin Yuanye stayed in this dilapidated town, the Lin family never banned any spending in his bank card.However, he was in such a small place, even if he wanted to spend money to buy happiness, he really couldn't spend it.

Thinking of the unfinished work at hand, Yang Jinnian hung up the video without any delay, and continued to devote himself to his work.

That night, Lin Yuanye went to the bar earlier.Cheng Liao hadn't performed on stage yet, and the baby-faced boy who had arrived earlier than him was standing under the streetlight outside the bar door to talk.

I saw him coming from a distance, and the baby face waved to him warmly.After Lin Yuanye approached, he first returned his faint smile, then looked at Cheng Liao and asked, "Isn't it time for the show yet?"

"Here we are." Cheng Liao explained in a flat tone, "The lead singer is busy and will be half an hour late."

Lin Yuanye took out his phone and took a look, "There are still 10 minutes."

"You can still smoke a cigarette." Babyface answered with a smile, reached out to take out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out two cigarettes and handed them to them respectively.

Lin Yuanye waved his hand and refused, "I don't smoke."

Babyface didn't say anything, and reached into his pocket for the lighter again.I didn't find the lighter, but finally found a box of matches.He opened the matchbox, but only found one match in the box.

Holding the matchbox, he looked at Cheng Liao and asked, "Brother Cheng, did you bring a lighter?"

"I didn't bring it." The man replied briefly, the lighter had been thrown away by Lin Yuanye last night, and he didn't go to buy a new one.

Babyface left the last match for him to use, and ran across the road to buy a lighter by himself.However, after a while, he ran back with a dejected face.

Most of the small shops in the town were closed at this time, and he couldn't buy a lighter.

The cigarette that Cheng Liao was biting on his lips was half burnt, and the baby face scratched his hair in annoyance, raised his face and said to him: "Brother Cheng, let me borrow a fire."

Lin Yuanye, who was squatting on the side of the road answering the message, paused when he heard the words, then raised his head to look at them.But Cheng Liao took the cigarette out of his mouth and held it in front of the baby face with a calm expression.

The latter bowed his head to borrow the fire with a cigarette in his mouth, and raised his head with a smile on his face to thank him.Cheng Liao didn't speak, and put the cigarette back into his mouth.His cigarette burned faster than Babyface, and when the red light was almost exhausted, the man pinched out the cigarette, turned and walked away to find the trash can.

Seeing this, Lin Yuanye got up with his mobile phone, walked to Babyface and stopped, and asked in a low voice, "Do you often borrow fire from each other?"

Although a little confused, the baby face nodded and said: "Yes."

Lin Yuanye groaned softly, pretending to be careless, and asked in a lazy and gentle tone, "Do you occasionally borrow lip-to-mouth?"

The baby face was stunned suddenly, and after realizing it, he replied with a normal expression: "Sometimes."

Disappointed to get such an answer, Lin Yuanye withdrew his gaze from his face and did not speak.But the person in front of him quickly added: "I and other workers sometimes do this, but Brother Cheng doesn't. Brother Cheng never borrows fire from others like this."

Lin Yuanye looked back at him again, with unconcealable surprise in his beautiful eyes.He wanted to say something more, but he caught a glimpse of Cheng Liao walking back from the trash can out of the corner of his eye, and swallowed back the words.

With the uncertain guess in his heart, he stared intently at the man approaching from under the streetlight.When he wanted to remind the other party that the time was approaching, his gaze suddenly extended to behind Cheng Liao, and then he froze slightly.

Not far behind Cheng Liao, several thick, burly men walked towards the bar.

In the footsteps of those people, there was more or less menacing meaning.
