Just like Xu Yue said, Blue Bar and Sun World Shopping Mall are indeed very close, just behind the building, just turn a corner when you go out.
It's just that it was a bit early after we finished our meal. There weren't many customers in the bar around 7:30, and there were only a few people sitting sparsely on the tables.
However, the resident singer was already ready, and she was singing Hu Ge's "Xiaoyao Tan", the theme song of a fairy tale drama that became very popular two years ago.
Huang Baihan still really likes this song. Today it is sung by a hoarse female voice with a cigarette voice. It seems to have a different flavor. Even the regrets in the song have become gentler.
Huang Baihan had never been to a bar before. Due to the education of his parents and the intimidation of his teachers, he had always been a little afraid of such places. But today, because of the voice of the resident singer, some of his prejudices were inexplicably eliminated.
After following Xu Yue into the bar, I felt that there were blue dim lights everywhere, as if I was in an ocean, and the air was filled with the faint smell of alcohol and sandalwood smoke.
The fluttering white mist made everything in the bar look soft and blurry. Xu Yue, who originally only had a score of 6, seemed to have a score of 7.5 in this environment.
Huang Baihan's first impression of this bar was very good, until the waiter took two wine lists and politely asked what he wanted to drink.
Huang Baihan glanced at the wine list and said "fuck!" in his heart, because:
Remy Martin Cognac: 1,699 yuan/bottle.
Hennessy brandy: 1999 yuan/bottle.
Martell Cordon Bleu X0: 2999 yuan/bottle.
Ace of Spades Dragon Set: 9999/set (comes with performance)
…
Just looking at it casually, Huang Baihan's face turned pale instantly.
He quickly pretended to scratch his head and quickly glanced at Xu Yue opposite him, fearing that Xu Yue would really choose a bottle.
All Huang Baihan's money combined was not enough to pay the bill, but boys at this age are very respectable. At this time, he asked him to say, "Senior Xu, the wine here is so expensive, let's not drink here..."
This is harder than killing Huang Baihan.
There is also that stupid waiter who has been promoting Hennessy for 1999 yuan, using marketing terms such as "the bar is launching a new event today on Christmas Eve, order Hennessy and get a fruit plate".
Although the people who work in the bar are quite young, they have been in this kind of situation for a long time and are much smoother than college students of the same age.
The waiter could tell at a glance that Huang Baihan and Xu Yue were not a couple, and that they were probably in the stage where "a boy is eyeing a girl".
Boys at this stage are trying hard to show off their strengths. No one wants to be judged as "stingy" by the girl they like, so these waiters deliberately recommend more expensive foreign wines to their faces.
Even if boys find it difficult, they will definitely not be able to save face and not pay the bill.
Even if they see the boy's embarrassment, they will think what does it have to do with me? I just need to get more credits.
While Huang Baihan was hesitant and nervous, Xu Yue flipped through the wine list, shook his head and said, "The foreign wine is too spicy. I'm not used to it. Is there any red wine or champagne?"
"Huh~~~"
Huang Baihan almost cried. If Xu Yue really ordered it, he really didn't know how it would end.
"some."
The waiter sighed and took out another wine list.
Foreign wine has the highest profit and the highest commission, because 90% of the foreign wine in bars is fake, but the profit of red wine and champagne is smaller, and the commission is also smaller.
When Huang Baihan saw another wine list, he suddenly cursed in his heart: "Fuck you! There are obviously cheaper wines, but you bitch insists on taking out the more expensive ones..."
In fact, this is the routine of doing business, but for a simple college student like Huang Baihan, it feels like he has been deceived.
Look at the prices on this wine list. Although they are not cheap, a Bloody Mary costs 99 yuan, a Margarita costs 99 yuan, and a bottle of champagne or red wine costs more than 500, but it is not that expensive after all.
Exaggerate.
A bottle of Martell XO costs 2,999, which is higher than the current monthly salary of a bachelor's degree graduate.
Finally, Xu Yue ordered a bottle of red wine for 699 yuan. Because the previous wine list had raised Huang Baihan's consumption expectations, he actually felt that the price was barely acceptable.
I even felt that Senior Xu Yue was not that kind of arrogant and extravagant woman. She didn’t want the expensive wine just now, so she only ordered a bottle of 699 yuan to save money for herself.
In fact, after paying the bill, Huang Baihan's wallet was almost empty. In addition to the more than 100 yuan in the meal card when he returned to school, he probably had to think about buying a sausage after class.
"Fortunately, Chen Zhu has money now. I can borrow it from him..."
Thinking of his best friend, Huang Baihan felt a little relieved. Fortunately, he had someone to back him up.
After a while, the red wine was served, and the waiter used an exaggerated but completely wrong sobering technique to sober up the wine.
After pouring a glass for each of them, they put it into a stainless steel bucket full of ice cubes and stored it.
Huang Baihan suddenly felt very cool. He calmly took out his Nokia N95 and pretended to play with his mobile phone. In fact, he secretly took a few pictures and planned to upload them to QQ space later to show off his coolness.
"Bohan, happy Christmas Eve."
At this time, Xu Yue suddenly raised her wine glass and planned to touch it with Huang Baihan.
"Sister Xu, happy Christmas Eve."
Huang Baihan quickly raised his red wine glass, scratched his head, and touched it with Xu Yue.
On Christmas Eve, I drank red wine with a girl in a bar. It was the first time in my life.
“If you don’t consider the cost, it’s really a very comfortable experience.”
Huang Baihan thought to himself, it turns out that all enjoyment in the world requires money.
The two goblets touched together gently, and only a "ding" sound was heard. Against the background of soothing music, the swaying blue spotlights contrasted with the red wine in the glasses, adding a sense of romance inexplicably.
and mood.
Senior Xu Yue took a sip, her face seemed to be slightly drunk, and she smiled at the corners of her eyes in the dim light, seeming to be looking at Huang Baihan lovingly.
Huang Baihan's heart felt hot, and he couldn't help but feel a little dry in his mouth.
Who knew that at this moment, Xu Yue took out another delicate box from her bag, lifted up her cheongsam, stood up, and handed the box over with both hands: "This is a gift. I wish Baihan a safe and sound new year."
Huang Baihan was stunned for a moment. Although from the corner of his eye he also noticed the seductive black stockings under Xu Yue's cheongsam, he was more moved by this gift.
"Thanks……"
Huang Baihan lived to be 18 years old, and this was the first time he received a holiday gift from a girl.
Although he could see that it was just an apple, the meaning in his heart was extraordinary. He felt that his nose was sore and he almost had tears in his eyes.
An innocent male with no experience in love cannot resist Xu Yue's methods.
But then Huang Baihan also realized that because the date was in a hurry, he didn't seem to have prepared any gifts or surprises for Xu Yue.
"Senior, yes, I'm sorry."
Huang Baihan looked embarrassed and stammered an apology.
Xu Yue saw that Huang Baihan didn't seem to have prepared a gift. Fortunately, the apple he gave away was only 10 yuan, so he said generously: "It doesn't matter, I can feel Baihan's heart."
The more Xu Yue said this, the more guilty Huang Baihan felt, and he racked his brains to make up for this mistake.
"Senior."
Huang Baihan suddenly asked: "It will be 2008 soon. What are your wishes for the new year?"
"Wish?"
Xu Yue thought about it for a moment, and realized that she had "enjoyed countless men". From Huang Baihan's simple, stupid and determined eyes, she knew that no matter what she said, Huang Baihan would most likely implement it.
But with Xu Yue's scheming mind, she would not take the initiative to ask for gold or silver, as that would be too obvious.
Is there anything you really want but don’t want to pay for?
"If you want to talk about wishes, there is really one thing."
Xu Yue said "innocently" and expectantly: "Jay Chou will hold a concert in Guangzhou at the end of April next year. I have liked him for so long, but I have never heard a concert live. I like "Sunny Day" so much."
Huang Baihan firmly remembered it. It turned out that this was Sister Xu's wish, but the tickets for Jay Chou's concert seemed to be quite expensive. One ticket cost about 2,000 yuan.
Huang Baihan's monthly living expenses are almost just right, his family is not rich, and he is still studying and doesn't know how to make money.
"etc!"
Huang Baihan suddenly realized: "Being a tutor at Zhongda Learning Network is actually quite profitable. I have made three orders this month and taken nine classes, which earned me almost 1,000 yuan..."
Noticing that Huang Baihan seemed to be thinking about something, Xu Yue easily guessed that he was saving money to settle accounts.
But she pretended not to know that the concert was mentioned "accidentally", but with Huang Baihan's honest style, I believe that he would soon send the tickets to her as a surprise.
"Bo Han, look."
Xu Yue called Huang Baihan and changed the subject: "There are more and more people in the bar. Fortunately, we came early and chose a good location so we can listen to the music without being blocked."
Huang Baihan temporarily put aside his thoughts on making money and looked around. Sure enough, within a short time, several groups of customers came into the bar.
There was a group of college-looking boys and girls walking in at the door. Huang Baihan didn't pay attention at first, but suddenly he felt something was wrong and quickly turned around to look at them carefully.
Although the light was dim, Huang Baihan almost screamed when the rotating neon lights flashed across the face of one of the girls.
"Why is it her and him?"
Huang Baihan secretly wondered why they came to the bar together?
"Bohan!"
Xu Yue pretended to be jealous and said: "Have you forgotten about me, an old senior, when you see your beautiful little sister?"
90% of this jealousy is fake, but 10% of it is true, because the two girls in that group are tall, pretty, and well-dressed. They are considered to be the beauties of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
"No, no."
Huang Baihan waved his hands quickly and shrank his neck to hide his figure, not wanting to be recognized by the other party.
Among this group of people, there were actually Wu Yu and Zheng Hao!
Zheng Hao could forget it, but if Wu Yu saw it, Huang Baihan felt that what happened between him and Xu Yue in the bar would definitely reach Chen Zhu's ears.
What a coincidence, that group of people kept walking toward him. Huang Baihan thought to himself that there were so many tables, why did they have to come here?
In fact, everyone who goes to Qingba wants to be closer to the stage where the resident singers are performing, so that they can have a better listening experience.
Huang Baihan and the others are in a good position, so they can't blame others for coming closer.
"Xiaoyu, sit here."
Huang Baihan could even hear the sound of Zheng Hao diligently pulling out the seat and letting Wu Yu sit down.
Fortunately, Wu Yu and Huang Baihan were sitting opposite each other, so they probably wouldn't notice them for a while. If they hid better, they might be able to get away tonight.
"Ahao!"
Zheng Hao greeted the waiter. He should be familiar with these waiters, and said with a smile: "Bring up all the beer I have here."
"Save...beer?"
Huang Baihan thought to himself, can the bar still store alcohol?
And, can you order beer?
When Huang Baihan came to a bar for the first time, he thought ordering beer was a very low-level behavior, so he didn't dare to order it.
Beer is so cheap. A bottle only costs more than ten yuan. It doesn’t cost more than 200 yuan to drink it and vomit it.
"We don't drink."
At this time, Wu Yu's crisp voice also reached Huang Baihan's ears.
"Oh, it's okay."
Soon a boy shouted and said: "Wine is the water of the Yangtze River. The more you drink, the more beautiful you become. You two are so beautiful, you must be more beautiful after drinking."
"Thank you, but we won't drink. We will go back after listening to two songs."
Wu Yu still said firmly.
"Harmful!"
Another boy smiled and said: "Beauty Xiaoyu, you feel the most comfortable when you are tipsy. In that state, you have no worries in the world. I won't lie to you."
"Don't drink."
Wu Yu replied with a hint of impatience on her brows.
"Hey hey hey, what are you doing?"
At this time, Zheng Hao stood up like a good guy, waved his hand to stop these greasy boys, and said righteously: "If you don't want to drink, don't persuade me. Can you be more polite?"
Wu Yu listened and nodded gratefully to Zheng Hao.
She and Lu Tian came over after having barbecue and found that there were four boys at Zheng Hao's side. Although each of them looked pretty good, they always had a sense of frivolous frivolity about them.
This feeling, not to mention compared to Chen Zhu's "veteran cadre" temperament, is even inferior to Wang Changhua's idiotic style.
Wu Yu's first reaction was that these people were not from the same place as her, but they were here after all, and they were also Zheng Hao's friends. It didn't seem to be a big deal just to listen to the music.
Unexpectedly, he started to persuade him to drink. Can Wu Yu not be upset?
If Zheng Hao hadn't tried to dissuade her, she would have stood up and left.
"I didn't expect that this kid Zheng Hao is quite aware of protecting flowers."
Huang Baihan commented secretly behind his back, didn't Wang Changhua call him a scumbag before?
It doesn't look like much.
Xu Yue picked up the tall wine glass and tasted it elegantly, then her eyes fell on Huang Baihan.
Ever since two beautiful girls came to the table behind him, Huang Baihan seemed a little absent-minded. Xu Yue sneered in her heart, maybe these were men.
No matter how honest it looks, it may only be truly honest the day it is hung on the wall.
But Xu Yue didn't mind. Anyway, she didn't like this "jack" at all, but she was a little bored while listening to the song, so she could analyze the mentality of the boys with him.
"Bohan."
Xu Yue waved to Huang Baihan, motioning for him to come closer.
When Huang Baihan stretched out his neck and came over, Xu Yue also tilted her body, revealing her attractive chest, and then exhaled and said: "That boy with short hair looks the most upright, but in fact he is the worst. Maybe he is
He’s the one who wants to drink the most.”
"Short-cut..."
Huang Baihan realized instantly that it was Zheng Hao, but he had just helped to hold back the drink.
"Don't you believe it?"
Xu Yue smiled: "If you don't believe it, just take a look."
She has seen a lot of boys like this who can act!
After a while, the waiter came over with a bottle of beer. It must be Zheng Hao's beer here.
The waiter poured a drink for everyone, including two girls, Wu Yu and Lu Tian.
At this time, the third boy, who had never spoken, picked up a glass of beer and said:
"I am deeply honored to meet the two beauties from Guangmei for the first time today. In order to celebrate this wonderful moment and to celebrate today's Christmas Eve, let's raise a toast to celebrate."
Wu Yu was about to reiterate her principles when she heard the boy continue: "I know beautiful women don't drink. I have a habit and never advise girls to drink. But on this day, it doesn't matter if I take a small sip."
"Yes, yes."
Other wingmen also spoke one after another: "Beauty, it's just one sip... You don't need to drink the rest... Just to save face... It's impossible to get drunk after one sip..."
Wu Yu frowned, but her will was relatively firm.
But Lu Tian hesitated for a moment, then came over and said, "Xiaoyu, it shouldn't be a big deal if you take a sip, everyone is so enthusiastic."
"What are you doing..."
Wu Yu complained that her roommate always contradicted her, making her seem like a bad person if she didn't drink.
"Xiaoyu."
Zheng Hao took a trash can and poured out more than two-thirds of the beer in Wu Yu's cup in one go, leaving only a shallow layer.
"Just take this sip."
Zheng Hao gently persuaded: "It's just a matter of clinking glasses when we meet for the first time, and then you can listen to music."
"Did you see that?"
The corners of Xu Yue's mouth curled up proudly, and she said to Huang Baihan:
"Originally, this girl was definitely planning to stay away from alcohol, but after much persuasion, someone tried to be a good person, and the short-haired guy was a bad person. She soon couldn't hold on any longer and took the first sip.
Already."
If "Teacher Xu" hadn't analyzed it here, Huang Baihan wouldn't have been able to tell that Zheng Hao was the one who really wanted to drink.
Even if it was like this, Huang Baihan couldn't believe it. There were too many tricks.
“What happens when you take your first sip?”
Huang Baihan asked quickly.
"After the first sip, there will definitely be a second sip."
Xu Yue continued to sneer: "These four boys are obviously veterans of the bar. They must have many tricks, and their purpose is definitely not simple!"
Huang Baihan was shocked when he heard this. Wu Yu was his friend. Although the relationship may not be that deep, he could never see her get hurt.
At this time, there were more and more customers in the Blue Bar.
There were quite a few wealthy people who were spending a lot of money. They all had some status in reality. They were arbitrarily lighting up Martells and Aces of Spades, which college students couldn't afford, and the atmosphere gradually became heated.
Huang Baihan took out his mobile phone and clasped his fingernails vigorously like he did when solving math problems in high school, as if he was hesitating whether to make some decision.
Behind him, Zheng Hao has organized everyone to play a dice game.
Unknowingly, Wu Yu's beer glass was filled again.
"Beauty Xiaoyu, you lost the dice."
"You have lost three times in a row. It would be shameful not to drink."
"Well, you just have to take a sip, and then I'll have a drink with you. Is that interesting, buddy?"
…
"Is this one of the means?"
When Huang Baihan heard this, he found a phone number without hesitation and sent a message:
"Chen Zhu, what are you doing?"
······
(Today is Orange Girl’s birthday, I wish him happiness and peace!)
