Monster Bar is open

The rain dissipated, and the clouds were absorbed into the setting sun in a blink of an eye, leaving behind a few wisps of delicate twilight, wrapped in a purple glow.

The water vapor on the ground has not yet dried up, and round puddles have formed, reflecting the afterglow of the sky. Looking from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bar, it looks like a square of natural screens.

Yue Chenzhou was very addicted to cigarettes, just about to take out another one, he paused, the corners of his upturned eyes fluttered towards the well-behaved boy sitting opposite him, and he put out the cigarette in the ashtray cursingly.

Only then was Lianhe satisfied, and she withdrew her knife-like gaze, and gently wiped the boy's hair with the towel in her hand.

The boy still said little and sat still.It seemed stiff and indifferent, completely different from the usual six or seven-year-old boy.

"It's almost enough, what's there to wipe." Yue Chenzhou couldn't help but say, "You need to find a suitable partner for your mother's love, and he won't catch a cold."

Lianhe was furious and couldn't help throwing out the towel in his hand and hanging it on his golden hair.

Yue Chenzhou was hit head-on by the towel, but he didn't get angry, he still leaned against the back of the sofa as if he had no bones, and lazily raised his chin at the round clock on the bar: "Okay, let's hurry up and talk. "

The boy opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, his black and white eyes followed Yue Chenzhou's fingertips, his oversized pupils showed a childish innocence.

"say what?"

Yue Chenzhou immediately laughed out loud.

"Row."

He simply stood up, walked to the boy's side, and pulled his loose collar to one side, exposing half of his chest.

"Hey you……"

Lian He instinctively stretched out her hand to stop him, but from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the bright red spot on the boy's chest, and couldn't help but stop what she was doing. After a while, her face changed drastically.

The boy's cheeks were round and fair, but his body was so thin that there was not much flesh. The regularly undulating chest protruded from the well-shaped sternum, and a pattern the size of a palm was imprinted on it.

It is cinnabar-colored, and its shape is extremely distorted, with cobweb-like blood veins emerging from the center, which looks like the blood stasis left by some violence just suffered.

at work

The two adults here are not ordinary people, so they can clearly tell the difference. The crimson center of the pattern is bulging outwards, wriggling a small bean-shaped particle, oozing black juice from time to time.

The black is condensed and undissolved, thick as if it cannot be melted away, but thin as hair, strand by strand penetrates into the knotted cobweb pattern, continuously absorbing the vitality of the boy in front of him.

"woc..."

Lianhe's swear words came to her lips, and her elegant and ancient temperament like a swan could not withstand the sudden shock in her heart.

She stretched out her hands and rubbed the boy's flesh back and forth, twisting off a few handfuls of extremely fine powder, sniffing it with her fingertips under her nose, and there was a very faint smell of iron rust.

Yue Chenzhou seemed to have expected it long ago, his expression remained unchanged, he just raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he looked at the boy's calm face and asked with a smile: "Oh, boy, are you not afraid?"

The boy sat motionless on the sofa, obediently letting them look at the sores on his heart, with his knees together and his legs stretched forward smoothly, without any expression of fear, but his words and deeds revealed good upbringing , and not the slightest bit of liveliness that a child of this age should have.

He has been staring at Yue Chenzhou from just now until now. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "A little bit before. But not now... I know it is not your opponent."

The smile in Yue Chenzhou's eyes deepened, and the tails of his eyes flew upwards following the slight expression, showing a somewhat inadvertent twinkle.

Only then did the boy realize that there was a very small mole on the oblique lower end of his right eye, which was hard to spot without looking carefully.

When Yue Chenzhou smiled, this mole would lightly pop up from the corner of his eye, embedded in the edge of the upturned eye tail, like the splash of water when a flexible fish tail enters the water.

"Not bad, not bad, pretty good." Yue Chenzhou nodded in satisfaction, complimented Lian He without sincerity, and stretched out his hand to slap Lian He's head away, "What are you looking at? After so long, a good girl looks like a pervert. Let's live Alright, start working."

Lian He was taken aback, let go of the boy's collar and straightened up, his ink-like hair brushed over his shoulders and fell down to his slender waist, rippling again.

"What kind of job do you have?" She snorted coldly, "The contract I signed with you was a bartender, and the job content was clearly written in black and white, but it didn't include life-threatening items. Be careful, I will apply for labor arbitration."

Having said that, she still stepped on graceful steps, lifted the curtain and entered the back, and when she came out again, there was already a delicate gilded satin tassel handbag hanging on her wrist.

Yue Chenzhou had already turned to the sink at the bar counter, scooped up a handful of clean water to wash his face, and sneered inarticulately: "This kind of trivial matter as big as fly shit is considered dangerous in front of me? Besides... when did your aunt ever trouble you? "

Lian He's eyelids twitched, wishing he could stretch out his hand to pinch his mouth.

"Master Yue! How many times have you said it, don't call me Auntie! You are not afraid of me, you are afraid of my life!"

As soon as Yue Chenzhou was in the sun, his wet hands carelessly fiddled with his messy blond hair for a few times, and the hair on his forehead was lifted up with his hand, making him look much more energetic.

He whistled in satisfaction, folded his hands and looked at the boy who was still sitting upright.

"Boy, do you know what that thing on your chest is?"

When the boy was called, he straightened his waist instinctively. After a while, he gradually relaxed and shook his head honestly: "I don't know. But... I can probably guess it."

He was as calm as ever, as if he was used to resignation.A round face is very cute, but the corners of the pink lips are drawn into a cool and thin straight line.

"My mother...my adoptive mother didn't like me, neither did my adoptive father. They took me out of the orphanage just to feed me to it. That thing...it wanted to kill me. Always wanted to."

The immature child's voice is as clear as a newborn bud, but the words spoken are inevitably weird and make people shudder.

The two people who were listening seemed to be used to it. Even Lianhe, who seemed tender and tender, just frowned slightly. The handbag on Hao's wrist was hung with light tassels. .

"The one on your chest is called the dove, the dove that occupies the magpie's nest."

The mood lights at the bar were dim, only the orange light fell on Yue Chenzhou's shoulders, illuminating his face, outlining a blurred profile.

"Wei magpies have their nests, and wei doves live in them." He said as he wiped his wet hands on the clothes casually, as if ironing out the wrinkles on them, his tone was very casual, and he didn't care whether preschool children could Understand the meaning of the words.

"The one that hurt you has a lot of hostility and resentment towards you. You adoptive parents have provided a difficult thing."
