Throughout the day, Chenghao had been waiting here quietly since he went out in the morning. Unfortunately, the familiar figure engraved in his mind did not appear.
"Brother, how are you? Did you see anyone?"
On the mobile phone, Xu Zehao's words came out that he had repeated n times, but still showed no signs of losing hope.
"No, maybe I won't come today!"
He breathed out hot breath into the palm of his hand to dissipate a little bit of the cold air. Chenghao looked up at the office building in front of him, which was not a gorgeous one. A trace of regret flashed between his eyebrows. The time displayed on his phone: 17:57, also made him
He couldn't help but tighten the scarf around his neck, and finally turned around and left.
"That's good, then maybe Xiaolu and I will see her tomorrow, hehe."
Xu Zehao's mean voice came again.
"Okay! I wish you good luck tomorrow. Let's not talk about it. The car is here. By the way, you can find a place to eat by yourself in the evening. I won't go back until later."
Looking at the slowly approaching taxi, Chenghao raised his hand to wave and ended the call with Xu Zehao.
"Sir, where are you going?"
"Is there a good restaurant near here? I'd like to go and have a drink."
Chenghao dusted off his coat, got into the taxi and fastened his seat belt. He nodded politely to the driver and asked.
"I didn't realize it, but sir, I'm a member of the same profession. There happens to be a shop not far from here that tastes pretty good..."
Hearing that Chenghao said he was going to drink, the young driver immediately became energetic and enthusiastically began to discuss the drinking culture one-sidedly with Chenghao.
"Kangsangmita! Thank you!"
After paying the fare, Chenghao politely thanked the young driver who was enthusiastic about the ride, opened the door and walked out.
"Brother, if you feel that drinking alone is boring, you can add some soju to your beer. It will be more exciting. Remember, maybe you will thank me in the future!"
Just when Chenghao raised his eyes and carefully looked at the two-room Korean restaurant in front of him, which was very common in country H, the car window behind him slowly lowered, and the young driver smiled meaningfully and dropped a sentence, and then disappeared.
Stopped and started the car and left.
Turning his head to look at the taxi's taillights as they left, Chenghao's head was filled with questions. What did the young driver want to thank him for?
"Welcome, how many guests are there?"
"It's just me."
Opening the sliding glass door and feeling the warm heating inside, Chenghao took off his coat and replied to the waiter beside him.
"Okay! Guest, please come here with me."
The waiter nodded, smiled and led Chenghao to a smaller table in the corner.
"Please bring me a military hot pot, and two bottles of beer and liquor each! Thank you."
One person couldn't eat much, so Chenghao thought about it and ordered the army pot directly. However, when ordering wine, he accidentally chose the drinking method introduced by the young driver.
"Okay, guest, please wait a moment!"
Watching the waiter leave, Chenghao began to look at the store carefully.
Although he had just looked inside through the blurred glass from the outside, once inside, Chenghao found that this Korean restaurant was unexpectedly clean.
However, there didn't seem to be many customers, and I don't know if it was because it was still early or if the food wasn't delicious.
Chenghao simply didn't care about this. On the contrary, he thought it was not bad to drink two drinks quietly by himself.
"Guest, here are the army pot and beer soju you ordered."
Just when Chenghao stopped looking at the restaurant and looked quietly at the scattered pedestrians passing by outside the window, the waiter sat down on his knees with a smile on his face, holding the army hot pot, and placed the things on the dining table one by one.
"Thanks!"
"Please use it slowly, and you can call me anytime if you need it."
"OK."
Smelling the alluring aroma coming from the army hotpot in front of him, it seemed to be pretty good. Chenghao followed the driver's instructions, unscrewing the soju, prying open the beer, and mixed it directly into the wine glass.
Holding back the unpleasant smell of wine, Chenghao frowned and raised his head to drink a glass alone. At the same time, his voice, which was not used to the drink, immediately protested: "Ahem~."
After pouring another glass of wine, Chenghao picked up the glass and looked at the water in the glass that was cloudy with beer.
He couldn't help but think of the last time he drank, which seemed to be four years ago, and it was also because of her.
The tightness is just because of the ridiculous and unrealistic fantasies in my heart.
At that time, when I was just 18 years old, I chose to cross the ocean alone and come to this completely unfamiliar city to study.
But reality is your most stern teacher, he will not miss every opportunity to teach you.
"She announced her love affair boldly as always, and completely shattered a boy's ridiculous fantasy."
