The negotiating table for two Chapter 2

So, from that day on, I no longer believe in love. Bont was very sympathetic when he learned the truth. He said that he had made up his mind never to play games in Internet cafes again.

I saw him really like this. Every night before the Duke closes, he goes back to the dormitory, cooks noodles and waits for me to go back to my residence.

I forgot to introduce our relationship when I wrote the first chapter. Here, I would like to add that he is my cousin and my big cousin. I've been playing with his ass since I was a child.

He solemnly watched me finish a big bowl of egg and vegetable noodles. It's the first time I saw him so generous, and I beat two delicious poached eggs in a bowl.

I saw him with a serious face and a serious expression, so I asked him, "What's the matter?"

"You will accompany me to the intensive care unit of the military hospital tomorrow."

"You ... what's the matter? Is there anything wrong? " I put down the chopsticks. In my heart, although Bonter is more of an asshole than an asshole, at that time, anything about him will make me nervous.

"I think you really can't let go. I decided to take you to the intensive care unit to see how warm and cold the world is, and to see life and death, and you will understand the truth of life. " Bonte took off the beads on his wrist, closed his eyes slightly, sat cross-legged and read Amitabha.

I pissed him half to death again. I just felt something was wrong, which surprised me.

Keep your head down and continue eating noodles.

He continued with his eyes slightly closed. "I'm not talking about you, you have got too much, and then there is greed. In this life, time is too short and there are so many interesting things. There is no need to entangle many things in the past. "

I looked up and gave him a white look. "Then tell me what I got?"

Hearing this, he faltered, but nothing was right.

It's like saying to yourself, "Yes, you are a loser."

I didn't look him in the eye. "That's all."

"Aren't you going to learn to draw?"

"Why don't you learn?" I packed the dishes and chopsticks, still thinking about that budding love. I told him that I was determined to be a painter, and I wanted to paint a masterpiece like a girl wearing pearl earrings and collect it in the Royal Moritais Museum in The Hague.

"That's right." This is the first time Bont encouraged my dream with praise.

The legendary emotional therapist, even if his words are poor, has nothing but dry goods, which is all nonsense.

What I can't accept most is that Bonte hired Lianlian as the chief barista of the Duke without my consent.

One lazy afternoon, there were no guests in the shop, and Weiss bocks Qian Ning was still sleeping on the windowsill. Bont got a box of cigars from nowhere. He leaned back on the sofa, pulled out a cigarette and lit it, enjoying it in the fog.

The ultramarine took the hand of Lian Yi and pushed open the door of the "passer-by".

At this moment, it is no exaggeration to imagine that I caught a silver carp weighing five pounds by the river. I was very happy, but later, the fish struggled to leave my arms, but the fishy smell in my hand could not be washed away.

Affectionate people are always like this. It's nothing at all, but they have been entangled in their hearts for a long time.

When I saw ultramarine, I suddenly felt the taste of pineapple candy in my mouth, with a long aftertaste and no astringency.

I pretended not to see them and turned back to the bar. Bont saw it, put down his cigar, stepped forward excitedly, took the practice hand and called me, "Come on, my man! I found you a good helper, a top barista who returned from studying abroad. "

I greeted him with a smile and nodded to Lianlian. "Oh, hello!" "

Lianlian is a maverick barista. She can make all kinds of coffee, and her mood is different according to everyone's taste. Bont and I have asked her countless times if we want to design an exquisite coffee list for her.

With her head down and her eyelashes drooping, she said coldly, "No need."

Bont smiled a flower on his old face, dragged me over and whispered to me, "Do you believe it or not? I dare to bet that our store will definitely make a lot of money by her this year. "

I pulled him aside and said mercilessly, "Fuck off! What do you take others for? "

"What as what? You see, she is going to be the top card of our' passer-by'. " Bonter narrowed his eyes and shook his head in the distance. Eighty percent of him is thinking about what the latest styles and equipment he will buy for his game after making money.

I poked him with my elbow and said, "What are you thinking? Didn't you tell me to stop playing games? "

Bont ignored me. He shook his hand, walked to the windowsill, lit the cigar that had just been stubbed out, looked at the sky outside the window at a 45-degree angle, and dreamed of his big dream of spring and autumn.

The wind is blowing outside the window, and it is raining in Mao Mao.

Hailing, a small county by the sea, is always like this, rain or shine.

Leslie Cheung's songs have been circulating in the store, including the familiar Ghost Story and the unpopular Dragonfly Passing by. After my brother came, I found that Bonte could let me do anything, but I was not allowed to change songs, not once.

"Singers are prudes, and people who listen to songs are the most ruthless." I mumbled a few words while settling accounts.

After listening, I smiled contemptuously and smiled a Nike logo.

"What are you laughing at?" I asked her with a straight face. From the beginning, I always regarded her as my rival who stole my love.

"Anything can confuse you and destroy you. See what you think. " She lowered her head and was busy stirring coffee. It's cool.

I saw the clinic. Today, she wore a clean work skirt, which fits her well, but she wore a pair of mini bear socks on her feet.

I laughed at her and didn't wear anything.

She subconsciously shrank her feet and looked at me with a lovely smile. For the first time, she discovered how she became so mean.

Lianlian pushed over a cup of coffee, steaming hot, and said with a smile, "Here, here you are."

I deeply doubt whether she put laxatives, cockroaches or something in it.

Lianlian continued to laugh, becoming more and more charming. She told me, "The book says that love should be the attitude of one soul to another, not the reaction of one organ to another."

After listening to the visual sense like lyrics, I savored it. It makes sense. I used to hate such preaching, but now I'm used to it.

Reluctantly, I picked up my coffee cup and asked her, "What are you going to name this cup of coffee this time?"

Lianlian rolled her eyes and blinked. "Silence is golden. How about it? "

This is the name of the 22nd cup of coffee she has practiced. She will write down each name in a notebook, draw the appearance of a coffee cup with a pencil, and write down the recipe beside it.

I took a sip. It is really bitter. It is even more bitter than my coffee. I can't say a word. Take another sip and find that I have forgotten the kiss that ultramarine gave me that day and the taste of pineapple candy.

I have decided never to eat pineapple candy again in my life. Everything related to pineapples is insulated, including the pineapple skewers sold by street aunts.

Thinking of this, I tilted my neck and killed the coffee in one gulp, and my hot throat hurt.

Suddenly, with a clash, someone pushed the door open, and the wind chimes beside the door shook and fell apart.

An angry young woman, snow-white skin, short handsome hair like practice, light yellow hair, plaid shirt, wet. She dragged a fat man's collar behind her, followed by a young girl without saying a word.

Entering the door, the young woman looked around and found Bont's seat. Obviously, this is her favorite seat at ordinary times.

She walked up to Bont and shouted, "Fuck off!"

Bonte was startled, hurriedly put out the cigar, quickly cleared the table casually, bowed their heads and said, "sit down! Sit down! "

The young woman threw her bag aside and sat on the sofa. Fat man with his head buried, Dally sat opposite, and the girl also sat down with her head down, leaning against the fat man.

The young woman looked at Deng Yuan and shouted, "Who told you to sit? ! "

The girl, like a frightened bird, got up quickly and leaned against the sofa with her eyes tilted to one side.

Bont turned around and walked on, bowing and asking, "What will you three do ... drink?"

"Get out!" The young woman did not look at him.

"all right! You three are chatting. " Bont smiled and walked to the bar, blinking at me as he walked.

I asked him in a low voice, "Who is this? What is the situation? "

"You don't know who? Sister Nuo. The best tattoo artist in Jixian County. " Bont said with a thumbs up.

"So ... which one is this?"

"Why are you stupid like a donkey? The harem is on fire. " Practicing with his head down, he didn't look at me at all, studied her coffee seriously, and his voice dropped.

I see. I put my hand on my chest and gave them a thumbs up. "Bont, you should put the valuable things aside quickly, or you will break them later, and the end will be miserable."

Bont shook his head and squatted on the bar, his ass sticking out. "Don't worry, it won't."

What annoys me most is his smiling face.

"Say, how to solve it?" Sister Nuo rolled up her sleeves, showing her white arms and posing for a fight.

I just saw some blood on the faces of the fat man and the young girl. Looks like the battle just ended.

The fat man buried his head in his crotch and didn't talk. The girl leaned back on the sofa, rolled up her skirts, shook her legs and looked indifferent.

"Say it! Dumb? What happened to the way you two whispered in the car? " My sister shouted, her voice hoarse.

The enemy on the other side continued to say nothing.

There is no one else in the shop except me, Lianlian and Bont. It seems that even the best drama needs an audience.

Elder sister glance left and right, to the bar hook index finger shouted to me, "you! Come here! "

I looked around at Bont's practice. What does this have to do with me? Why did you call me? Pointing at myself, I learned to speak haltingly from Bont and asked, "Are you ... are you calling me?"

"Nonsense, who didn't call you? ! "

Reluctantly, I held the tea list to my chest and moved over step by step. I was just about to ask.

Elder sister opened her mouth first and asked me, pointing to the fat man, "You told me that he is not as good as a pig or a dog? ! "

The fat man looked up, looked at me with a guilty face and nodded hard, which obviously gave me a signal.

What should I say? I looked at Bont and Lianlian, and they quickly turned their heads and covered their mouths to steal joy.

"Are you dumb, too?" Sister Nuo was furious.

I saw that Sister Nuo's arm was covered with tattoos, and it felt like being questioned by a gangster with a knife rest around his neck.

"I think ..." I began to pronounce clearly.

"Feel a fart! Just ask you, is he a pig or a dog? "

I was shocked and repeatedly said, "Yes, yes, you are right. He is more than a pig and a dog. He is simply an animal and is the reincarnation of Chen Shimei's genetically modified Ximen Qing. "

Sister Nuo is satisfied with my answer, and so is the fat man.

The girl was unhappy, her eyes were bigger than Sister Nuo's, and she shook her head and asked me, "Tell me, why is he worse than an animal?"

I became a sandwich biscuit, caught in the middle, not a person inside and outside.

Bont and Lianlian are snickering at the bar, staring at a bitter drama played by others.

Sister Nuo was angry and asked the girl, "Is it your turn to speak?"

The girl snorted, threw it aside again and looked at the ceiling.

I hurriedly dozen circle field, "I think, since everyone sat down, have to talk calmly. Okay？ Sister Nuo, what do you think? "

Sister Nuo nodded and leaned back on the sofa. "It's up to you." The tone has obviously softened.

Fat man smiled and finally spoke. "The young man is right. Calm down and don't quarrel. "

Elder sister white his eyes, "hum! Who wants to argue with you? "

I moved a stool and sat among them. Like a judge, I said to the fat man, "Brother, do you want to make a record first?"

"What is the expression?" That fat man is stupid.

I slapped the table a few times and my voice rose a few degrees. "What are you doing, you inhuman thing?" ? Just say you will still fail? ! "

Bont and I have learned emotional physiotherapy skills for so many years and finally come in handy.

Fat face some embarrassed, constantly make clicks, next to swept sweep eyes, "what else? This is all there. "

The young girl was very cooperative and rubbed her stomach at me.

"A few months? When is the due date? " I'm asking for trouble.

Elder sister knocked on the table a few times, "what are you doing here? Pull something else. "

I also cooperate with the obscene hey hey smile, "elder sister, it's not, a comprehensive understanding."

Sister Nuo took me as the director of the street women's Federation. "Young man, I tell you, I get up early to do business, day and night, get up early in the morning, make breakfast for this bastard before going out, and go home at night without even a mouthful of hot water. Tired, wrinkled face, white hair, sick. This pig is inferior to a dog. I haven't seen him make a penny since the day he got married. He idles around all day and spends all my money ... "

The fat man was about to refute, but I held him down and said solemnly, "Don't talk, listen to me."

The fat man is very obedient. Be quiet.

"Over the years, I bought two houses and two cars in the county seat, all earned by my mother. I gave him the best car, and I drove the worst car. He went behind my mother's back to the KTV bath center in the bar to play with that little girl. I put up with it, too This slut used to work in my shop. Before she came, she didn't have enough food and warm clothes. I lent her money for renting a house. I took her in because she was pitiful. I didn't expect to seduce my husband away ... "At some point, Sister Nuo's eyes filled with tears.

The girl still wanted to refute, so I pinned her down and said to Sister Nuo, "Sister, watch your mouth ... go on."

She reached out and grabbed the fat man's wrist. "We tattooed each other's names and vowed to grow old together. Now, we are old farts! Young man, now go and get me a knife and cross out the name. "

Fat man frighten of retract a hand.

I took out a paper towel and handed it to Sister Nuo. She wiped her eyes and continued, "It's really chilling! Everyone knows that I am the only one in the dark. If I hadn't bumped into it today, I don't know when I would have been cheated by something worse than this pig and dog. "

She turned her head to Bont and shouted, "Bont! Do you know? "

Bonte turned his head and nodded awkwardly. In this case, it is difficult to call Bonte, nor to say it, nor to say it.

"Men don't have a good thing, they are all pigs and dogs." Elder sister scolded.

I advised, "Sister, your attack is too wide. There are still many good men in this world, and love rat like this is only a minority. "

The fat man wiped the rain and sweat on his face, panting nervously, and said for a long time, "Why are you becoming more and more like a pussy now?"

Sister Nuo wiped a handful of tears. I can see that she is extremely sad and her words are aggressive. "I have become a bitch? I'm a bitch? I am not forced into a bitch by you! "

I hurriedly dozen circle field asked, "elder sister, do you have any requirements?"

"Divorce, have no talk! He cheated first, so get out of the house cleanly! The house, the car, the children, everything is mine. " Sister Nuo resumed her angry tone.

The fat man finally waited for this sentence, breathed a sigh of relief, looked up and said seriously, "Money ... money has to leave me some?" Can't watch us starve to death? "

Sister Nuo scolded: "You are worse than a pig and a dog. Do you really want a divorce? "

Fat and drooping head, "what can I do? You brought it up first. "

The girl reached out and poked the fat man. Even if she lowered her voice, we could hear "If we can get more, we need to live in the future."

I can't take it anymore. I criticized, "elder brother, this is what you are wrong. It's not easy for you to bully her like this. It's really worse than an animal. " The Weihe River is in high tide now, so you might as well throw yourself into the river and apologize. "

"Yes, yes, young man, you are right. I'm worse than an animal. I can't get away with jumping into the river and dying 10 thousand times. " The fat man smiled and held my hand and nodded.

With a bang, the young girl patted him on the shoulder. "Nothing!" Holding his stomach, he turned and ran out of the door angrily.

The fat man picked up the umbrella and ran out with it. As he ran, he shouted and asked loudly, "Umbrella! Umbrella! Umbrella! Don't catch cold! " Ran to the door, turned around and shouted at my sister, "Wife, my fault! I should be cut into pieces. We are getting divorced tomorrow. I don't want anything. I'll leave it to you. You can live a good life. " The fat man ran outside, calling me wrong again and again, and his voice became smaller and smaller, and gradually disappeared.

Through the glass window, Sister Nuo saw the fat man running out from behind and crying at his desk.

Cry loudly.

I got up and opened my hand to Bont, which means I can't help it.

Bont seems to have not finished watching the play, and he looks sorry. I scolded him in my mind, "You are not as good as a pig and dog."

Lianlian waved, called me over, pushed me a cup of coffee, and motioned for me to take it to Sister Nuo.

I went over and asked softly, "Is it useful?"

Bont is still immersed in the play, with a complicated expression on his face. "Alas, human tragedy."

I shook his shoulder and said, "If you really can't stand it, you can castrate that fat man with a knife, which is a great achievement."

"It's no use castrating this grandson. No one can untie him when his heart is dead. " Bont shook his head and said solemnly, "Your boy is really useless. Why can't you make peace with them? "

I cocked my head and asked him, "Why did you go?"

"I'm not going. I'll make peace. The baby in the girl's belly will become an orphan. Alas, this will be another human tragedy. " Bont sighed.

I blew the bangs on my forehead and ignored him. Pick up the coffee to practice and sit in front of my sister.

She was still lying there crying, which made my heart sour. The most shameful thing in my life is to see a woman crying.

"Elder sister, relax. There are many good men. Brother said that a crooked tree has been lost, and there is a forest waiting for you. " All exhortations are pale at this moment, but they are also necessary, otherwise the frozen air at this moment will look so lifeless.

Sister Nuo looked up with tears on her face. No matter how strong a woman is, tears can't hide her weakness.

"Who is your brother?"

I pointed to Bont.

Bont didn't know what we were talking about. He smiled at us.

Sister Nuo sighed. "He is an animal. Can he take his words seriously? "

I nodded affirmatively and told her that if I started a new relationship as soon as possible, I could break free from the cage of the past.

Hearing this, she began to cry on her desk again. "I didn't even think about divorce ... this heartless person."

Another cry.

Sister Nuo suddenly looked up and stared at the door, thinking about the scene just now. "Look at this pig and dog. It runs faster than a rabbit."

The way the fat man just ran out was really a rabbit in heat, covered in fat, burning like boiling hormones, full of flames and miasma all over the sky.

Sister Nuo cried for a while and her voice became hoarse. She took the coffee and took a sip.

"What's the acid? It's terrible. " Elder sister frowned. She said that she had never drunk such terrible coffee.

Without a smile on his face, he whispered, "I added malic acid to my coffee, which is sour of course."

I explained to Sister Nuo, "Sister, this is the barista who practiced in our shop. She made coffee specially for you. The name is Shi Mei acid. "

Sister Nuo looked contemptuous. "How can there be such an ugly name?"

When she is in a bad mood, all the good things in the world are rubbish in her eyes, including rubbish of course.

She couldn't help tasting it bit by bit and telling me the bitterness sentence by sentence.

Chatting late into the night, it was time for the "passer-by" to close, and Bont yawned on the bar.

Sister Nuo is still talking about fat people and girls. The more she talks, the more useful she is. The more I listen.

Qunqing called the bar. "Why didn't Da Vinci come to learn painting today?"

Bont yawned and said, "He's watching a play." He added, "No, he's acting, he's directing, he's acting."

"The theatre? Watch a fart play. "

"I really should have left him earlier." Sister Nuo has been repeating this sentence.

At this time I didn't leave, and gave Nuojie a cup after cup of "Shi Mei acid".

I advised, "Don't drink any more, you will be poisoned."

"Yes, I can't drink any more." Sister Nuo adjusted her mood and said, "I see, in this life, people have to taste the ups and downs." This is life. "

Finally, I saw Sister Nuo who was resurrected by blood. She took a stack of money from her bag and threw it on the bar. She smiled at Lianlian and said to me, "Thank you, young man. I'll buy you a drink another day. "

Turn and walk away.

Bont suddenly woke up, grabbed it like a hungry tiger, dipped in saliva, counted one by one, and whispered to me, "I'm right, practice is my cash cow."

I saw it was still raining outside, pattering on the glass. I wonder if someone will send an umbrella to Sister Nuo.

While clearing the table, I sighed: "Alas, I feel sorry for Sister Nuo."

Perhaps at this moment, she is an umbrella in this world, no matter how heavy the rain is, it is also a strong sweat.

I said to Lianlian, "Your coffee is really useful. When the medicine is cured, it will make people feel refreshed. "

"It's not the coffee that matters, but the taste." Practice it.

"What do you mean?"

"Take your time."

Another sentence that I haven't figured out for a long time.

Half a month has passed, and the days are as usual, without any waves.

One day, Qunqing suddenly remembered something and pulled me aside. "Bonthe said you were going to the theatre that day. Come, tell me about it. "

Her face is full of expectation, and her eyes are like Bont lying in the bar watching the play that day.

Practice aside to cast a glad eye at ultramarine, weird smile. "It's a pity that you missed it, harem drama."

I corrected: "No, it should be a beauty case."

Qunqing muttered and asked, "What are you two talking about?"

Bont leaned forward and asked Qun Qing, "If you break up one day, will you still remember your predecessor?"

Ultramarine glanced at his practice and shook his head, saying that he didn't know how to answer. Bont is also a pig brain, asking the hypothesis of breaking up in front of couples.

I poked Bont and he ignored me. Said his answer, "yes, it seems too fancy, but I don't remember it, it seems too fickle."

The three of us shook our heads at the same time, not knowing what he was going to say.

When Bont saw that the three of us were as stupid as donkeys, he explained, "It's like you hit a tree, and your head is broken and it hurts. In the future, you should walk around this tree. However, it will be a long time, to be exact, before you can remember how painful the collision was. However, the tree is still there, still flourishing. Do you understand? "

I nodded, some understand.

The ultramarine listened, a face of consternation. "Did you hit a tree?"

Just when I almost forgot about it, I received a message from Sister Nuo, "I am divorced."

I was shocked and suddenly felt that I broke up this marriage. Bont said that tearing down ten temples is better than ruining a marriage. So, according to him, people who register for divorce are not going to the eighteenth and eighteenth floors of hell after death?

"Can you have a drink with me?" Sister Nuo sent a message again.

Kindness is hard to refuse.

Sister Nuo invited me to her tattoo parlor.

The tattoo shop is messy, tools and articles are piled up in disorder, and scary tattoo paintings are hung on the wall. The brown style makes the whole store darker. The smell of blood, ink and perfume on Sister Nuo is everywhere.

Sister Nuo was dressed in a black dress, her snow-white arm was covered with tattoos, and a five-pointed star was tattooed under her neck, from big to small, until her chest disappeared.

"Sit down!" She came over with a bottle of Italian red wine and two empty glasses.

I sat on the sofa and she sat opposite. On the glass coffee table, there are several dishes of snacks.

Sister Nuo is in good condition and keeps laughing. She said, "I finally got divorced. Anyway, I got a divorce certificate and felt more relaxed than ever. "

I listened quietly.

"But I still hate him. I really hope that when they walk, they are killed by cars, killed by lightning, and killed by dogs. "

"However, if it is many years later, I may not hate them."

"After all, this marriage is a very important part of my life. I can't forget, and I shouldn't forget. I learned to grow in it, and I should learn to be tolerant. "

"Remember the store and sour coffee, what's the name? ..... yes, Shi Mei acid, let me understand that acid and bitterness are the lowest point of taste. The finished product should be sweet when it comes out. "

......

How long has it been since Sister Nuo talked to anyone? I can't get a word in. I listened quietly.

We both finished a bottle of red wine in no time.

"Italian red wine is sour, can't you get used to it?"

It's finally my turn to speak. "I can get used to it. I can taste the flowers in Tuscany."

Sister Nuo's face smiled into a flower, and her chest fluctuated. "Yes, it is the smell of old spices, hovering on the edge of rebirth and corruption."

Frankly speaking, I'm a little timid. I have never felt so nervous and trembling before. Sister Nuo Ying moved to my sofa, and I subconsciously moved to one side. She put her arm around my shoulder, and I was like a goat about to be slaughtered, trembling and helpless.

Sister Nuo is in her thirties. Wearing a black dress makes her look more mature.

Maybe everyone will laugh, including Bont. When a man thinks about a problem, he is always in a daze at that moment, and his brain is blank. However, in fact, the boldest attempt is to take risks.

Now that you have started, choose to accept it all the time.

I can't remember the next thing, and my mind is completely blank. In the dim light of the tattoo parlor, the sweat on two people was added.

According to Haruki Murakami's style, my psychological process at that time should be very delicate. Fortunately, Sister Nuo is experienced, unscrupulous and sophisticated.

The intensity of Italian red wine, at that moment, crossed the spinal cord, stimulated the brain and reached a climax.

Afterwards, I lay in her arms and gently stroked the beautiful tattoo on her arm. "Sister, give me one someday?"

Sister Nuo closed her eyes slightly and said weakly, "Good."

"I don't want to tattoo animals."

"Very good."

"I don't want to get a tattoo on ernesto guevara's head either."

"Very good."

"Tattoo me a string of Tibetan."

"Very good."

"That's settled."

"Very good."

......

Flowers anger horses, and the sun and the moon are beautiful. People who know this story should not take it seriously, because it is not love.

After all, decadence has no beginning, but fresh talent has an end.
