about love

Chapter 2 Bar
Back to the long-lost dormitory, when the door was opened, the room was filled with smog and smog.The other three roommates were puffing away at the computer.Zhou Shi didn't change his face, he just walked over and opened the window wide, and the wind immediately poured in, but the smell of smoke still lingered for a long time.People who study art are mostly flamboyant, do their own way, don't care about other people's affairs, and don't like others to dictate to them.Most people hold the code of conduct of "If people don't attack me, I will not attack others; if people attack me, I will attack others".Zhou didn't come back for two weeks, and no one asked more.

Zhou Shi asked Liu Nuo on the upper bunk: "Did the old class assign homework these days?" Liu Nuo was in charge of accepting the girls' homework, and Zhou Shi had a good relationship with her.With a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, Liu Nuo tapped his fingers on the keyboard quickly and said, "Oh, the old class is urging me to do my homework for the summer vacation, which is due next week."

Zhou Shi slapped his head, then remembered, and shouted: "I almost forgot! Thank you for reminding me." She took the key to the studio, grabbed a coat and went out.There are only two days left, and she hasn't done any homework yet, so she is in a hurry.There is no so-called final exam for those who study art, and the grades are all homework.So Zhou Shi attaches great importance to homework and never gets things done sloppily.

Before going to the studio, she went around to the teaching building to retrieve the big and small bags of snacks.The time for handing in homework is so tight this time, it looks like I have to catch up all night, and these snacks are just right for supper.

The light in the studio was on.Their art students are not like science and engineering students, basically no one will come to self-study.Pushing open the door, a strong smell of ink came to my face, but there was no one inside.In the center of the studio is an easel with an unfinished landscape oil painting on it.The sky is gray, the wild is vast, the wind is blowing and the grass is low, and the eyes are green, dotted with little white flowers, which is refreshing.A photo is pasted in the upper right corner, and it seems that someone drew the oil painting based on this photo.

Someone came in, and Zhou Shi smiled and said, "Zhang Shuai, this is your oil painting? I haven't seen you for a summer vacation, and I have improved." His oil painting uses colors well, and handles light and shadow very well.Zhang Shuai is of medium height, with a full forehead, a Chinese character face, clear eyes, and a pair of popular black frame glasses, which is not out of fashion.Unlike other boys who study art, Zhang Shuai has eye-catching long hair. His short cut makes him look very energetic.Although I work with paint colors all day long, my fingers are always clean.

Zhang Shuai smiled but did not answer.Zhou Shi looked down at the photo and asked, "Where did you take this photo? Inner Mongolia?" Zhang Shuai picked up the paintbrush in the pen holder, nodded and said, "I went to the Hulun Buir Grassland during the summer vacation. I saw the beautiful scenery and took a few photos. I want to practice oil painting."

Seeing that most of them were almost finished, Zhou Shi asked, "How long have you been painting?"

Zhang Shuai thought for a while, and said, "It's almost half a month." Zhou Shi set up his drawing board, started to color, and said, "That's pretty fast." It was too late for her to paint oil paintings, so I had to paint first. A watercolor painting.

Both of them started to draw, and they were speechless for a while.Time passed unconsciously, Zhang Shuai looked at his phone, it was almost twelve o'clock, and the dormitory should be closed.He asked Zhou Shi: "Are you going to stay up all night today?" Zhou Shi was drawing to a critical moment, without raising his head, he said: "Well, I haven't started my sketching homework yet."

Zhang Shuai nodded and said, "Then you draw slowly, I'll go back first." Before leaving, he looked at her, and saw that the broken hair on her forehead had slid down, almost covering her agile eyes, but her expression was still focused .He raised his hand and pressed the switch on the wall, and the fluorescent lights in the back row turned on, making the studio much brighter.Zhou Shi didn't realize it, and he was still writing like flying.He stood there in a daze for a while, then gently closed the door and left.

After two days of hard work, I finally handed in my homework before twelve o'clock on Monday morning.Zhou Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and his life became carefree again.Students in the art department, as long as they have no homework, their lives are always happy.

On this day, Zhou went back to the studio to pack up odds and ends. Those paints and pens had been ruined by her.Suddenly, I saw a thick pile of books on art on the podium, including paintings appreciation, creation theory, and a collection of Russian works in the [-]th century...all of them are original books, which are very valuable.There was a painting for £[-], which was an astonishing price.Zhou Shi turned over and couldn't bear to put it down.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Shuai, who was also in the studio, took the initiative to say: "It's mine. If you like it, take it back and look at it." Zhou Shi blushed with excitement at the moment, and repeatedly promised: "Zhang Shuai, I will definitely look through it carefully. Never wrinkle a bit."

Zhang Shuai smiled and said, "It's okay. If you get wrinkled, just wash the pen for me."

Zhou Shi picked out a book, put it carefully in his bag, and said, "I'll return it to you this Sunday night. Will you be in the studio?" Zhang Shuai nodded, and asked, "Don't you want the others?"

Zhou Shi smiled and waved his hands and said, "I'll borrow it after reading it. If you borrow it, you can return it. It's not difficult to borrow it again." She was afraid of getting the album dirty, so she washed her hands carefully before flipping through it every time.

On weekend nights, Zhou walked into the unopened "Dynasty" bar with a backpack on his back.As soon as the bartender Aqi saw her, he called out: "Sisi, you came just in time, help me move these drinks to the bar." She agreed, threw the backpack on her shoulders aside, and rolled up her sleeves to help.After a while, Aqi nodded and said, "Okay, it's open soon, you can change your clothes quickly."

She went to the back, opened her closet, and put on her makeup in the mirror.First apply the foundation lightly, and then carefully sweep the blush on both sides of the cheeks to make the small face look more defined.The eye shadow is bright, and it sparkles under the light. The eyelashes are long and curled, covering them like the wings of a butterfly, flickering, as if they will fly out at any time.The eyes in the mirror are dark and bright, seeming to be affectionate and shy.Zhou Shi raised his eyebrows and smiled with satisfaction, his posture was quite enchanting.She started changing into the clothes she wore in the bar—the blouse cut very low, the skirt reaching just up to her thighs, the high heels pointed and thin.Everyone here wears it.

She works as a waiter in this bar, and she comes to help every weekend. She has to work until four o'clock in the morning. The salary is not as much as expected. After all, she is just a waiter. Just enough for room and board.However, some waiters also accompany the guests to drink and chat, and get a commission from it.If both parties agree with each other, there are other things.Once the night comes, here is another world.

There were more and more guests, and some men and women were sitting in a dark corner, lingering and lingering, whispering.Zhou served the wine according to the list. He tried not to bend his upper body and bend his knees, and put the wine and utensils on the table.The man who was flirting with his female companion looked up and threw her a few tips, which she accepted calmly.Here are the rules of survival here.

After being busy for a while, Zhou Shi went backstage to take a breather, and after a cup of coffee, he couldn't help but feel much better.Suddenly, the general manager Sheng of the bar told everyone: "From now on, we will be temporarily closed. Fortunately, there are not many customers. Aqi, you go to clear the place, explain to the guests outside, and then you have something wrong, and apologize to everyone. Let the guard Stay outside and don't let guests in again."

She was startled, and hurried to Aqi and asked, "What happened? Why is it closed?"

Aqi laughed and said, "What's the matter! Someone booked the bar, so we had to tell the public that it was temporarily closed." Zhou Shi raised his eyebrows, said "Oh", and said disdainfully, "Who is so arrogant? Money is not enough." It’s not such a spoiling method!” To make Boss Sheng drive out the God of Wealth who came to his door, this person’s status must be very serious, and he will take over the entire bar as soon as he makes a move. He is either a rich second generation or a son of a son.

Aqi led a few male waiters out and said without looking back: "There are a lot of rich and powerful people in the capital! You haven't seen anything arrogant!"

In less than half an hour, the bar was suddenly empty, the lights dimmed, the music stopped, and the surroundings were silent. It was not like a noisy bar, but rather like a study room before a big exam, quiet and orderly.Zhou Shi sat at the bar and chatted with Aqi, jokingly said: "We 'Dynasty', when will the emperor come tonight?" Aqi laughed and said: "I will let you see the holy face."

Before ten o'clock, dozens of people swarmed in, both men and women, laughing and talking coquettishly.One of them walked in front, holding an extremely beautiful beauty in his arms. He walked in as if no one else was around, his aura of dominance was fully revealed. It seemed that he was the "emperor" of the "dynasty" tonight.

Mr. Sheng rushed up to meet him and greeted him personally.The music boomed, the lights shone everywhere, and fell to the ground, and everyone's emotions suddenly rose.Bottles of good wine were brought up continuously, and empty wine bottles were piled up under their feet. Those people were drinking bottomless bottles, as if they were drinking mineral water.

Zhou Shi put a glass of fruit wine on the table.The girl said thank you softly and politely.She hurriedly said, "You're welcome." The girl's long hair hung down to her waist, cascading down like a waterfall, black and bright, with a palm-sized melon-seeded face, with exquisite facial features, and her skin with makeup was whiter than snow under the light, just like Creamy, with cherry lips, small and cute.Even if Zhou is so used to beauties, he still has to sigh that this Jurchen is a natural beauty.Seeing her calm and quiet appearance, she doesn't look like someone who often hangs out in bars, so Zhou couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

I heard another person say: "I specially made this wine. It's not intoxicating. It tastes like fruit juice. Try it." .The speaker also adjusted the position of the straw so that it was facing the girl opposite.The girl nodded obediently, bowed her head, took a sip, smiled and nodded in praise.

Zhou Shi turned his head and saw that this person was dressed casually, with his white shirt open casually, his legs crossed, lying on the sofa, his hair was messed up, his fingers were pointing at the table intentionally or unintentionally, and he looked relaxed and leisurely.She felt familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember who it was, thought it was some TV star, thought to herself, all the handsome guys in the world look similar, so who cares, it has nothing to do with her anyway, so she gave up, didn't think too much, turned around and left.

It wasn't that Zhou had a bad memory, but that Wei Qing's image had changed so much that she didn't associate him with the serious and unsmiling Wei Qing at the awards ceremony.

Wei Qing recognized her immediately.He has been in love and shopping malls for many years, his eyes are so sharp, even if you put on countless vests, he can still beat you back to your original shape.He called Zhou Shi who was about to leave: "Give me a glass of 'Dynasty'." Zhou Shi was taken aback, she had been working here for a long time, and she had never heard of a wine called "Dynasty".But she still said "yes" respectfully, and then walked to the bar.

Wei Qing recalled that award ceremony, he sat expressionlessly on the high rostrum, and there were no empty seats.The ceremony was about to begin. A girl lowered her head and walked from the last row to the front row, looking extremely embarrassed.She was wearing a pleated white shirt with sleeves rolled up to her elbows, her armpits were wet, and her back was probably wet too.All eyes were on her, and she sat down pretending to be calm, waiting for others not to pay attention, but took out a tissue to wipe her sweat desperately.

The close contact is on the podium.Standing among all the winners, she is very eye-catching and is the focus of the entire podium.A head of soft short hair is neatly shaved, beautiful facial features, eyes rolling around, full of aura, transparent skin, small nose bridge, a smile on the corner of the lips, but eyes full of impatience, thick and straight eyebrows, as if Zhang Yang's rebellious character.The skeleton of the whole person is very slender, and when you hold hands, it is as if there is no bone, like a clear spring gliding through the palm of your hand.

I saw her again at the school gate, flirting with her little boyfriend, very affectionate.Never expected to meet again here, the changes are so huge.Meeting so many times in a short period of time seems like a kind of fate somewhere.

Since it is fate, of course he must take good care of it.

In fact, they met more times than they thought.The first meeting was also at the school gate, he honked his horn impatiently, and Zhou whistled to famous traffic, but neither of them remembered.

Zhou Zhi pointed to Wei Qing in the distance and said half teasingly and half mockingly: "Aqi, the 'emperor' wants 'Dynasty', can you afford it?" Aqi laughed exaggeratedly, and made a gesture of greeting, He laughed and said: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. If there is no one, there must be one!" He became busy while talking. "Dynasty" is a tribute wine dedicated to Wei Qing alone, and here he is the emperor.

Zhou was speechless, and carefully carried the amber liquid over.Wei Qing raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, then put a delicate little box on the tray with a careless look.Zhou Shi was puzzled and asked: "Sir, what is this..." Wei Qing lazily said: "Tip." Zhou Shi had never received such a special tip before, but the will of the "Emperor" cannot be disobeyed , she had no choice but to say: "Thank you." She bowed and stepped back.

Going to the backstage and opening it, Zhou was shocked.It turned out to be a diamond-encrusted necklace, shining under the light, dazzling, really beautiful.She had seen this brand of jewelry in a jewelry store before, and it probably cost hundreds of thousands.I couldn't help but feel uneasy, wondering if the other party made a mistake, this shot is too generous!For a while, Zhou Shi kept thinking about whether he should return the "tip".Will it cause trouble if this kind of precious thing is collected indiscriminately?

After thinking about it for a long time, I think that kind of person is very face-saving, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return it in person. I should wait and see what happens, and find a chance to return it quietly.Although there is also a fluke mentality of taking the windfall from the sky as his own, but he always feels that things may not be that simple.

After that, she didn't meet Wei Qing head-on.The music sounded, and the men and women began to hug each other and slide down the dance floor.Mr. Sheng smiled and sat down beside Wei Qing.Watching words and demeanor is his old skill, he looked at Wei Qing's face, leaned over and said: "Young Master Wei, what's the matter?" Wei Qing turned the wine glass in his hand, seemingly casually asking: "Who is that person?"

Mr. Sheng followed his gaze, raised his eyebrows, and smiled knowingly: "That's the waiter in our bar, his name is Xixi."

Wei Qing said "Oh" and asked, "Xixi?"

Mr. Sheng picked up the wine glass and drank it down, and repeated with deep meaning: "Yes, Xixi." Then he stood up and smiled maliciously, "Young Master Wei, there are flowers that can be broken!"

The guests all went to the dance floor to dance, and they were not so busy, so Zhou Shi hid behind and chatted with others. "The girls who came to play seem to have a good temperament, especially the one with long hair, who looks like a lady." Zhou commented on the women on the dance floor.

Someone who knew the details said, "These women are all college students."

Zhou Shi was taken aback and asked, "Oh, is that so? They are all college students? Then who are these men?"

The man shrugged and said, "People with power and money!"

Zhou Shi still didn't believe it, and said, "Couldn't they all be college students? There may be one or two who come out to play with friends."

The man sneered and said, "These people like to bring female college students out to play. Most of these women are students from art colleges. They are beautiful, but they can't become stars, so they often hang out with some rich boys and girls." .”

Zhou is thinking of the students in the acting department of his school. In the parking lot in front of the teaching building, all the famous cars are basically driven to pick up these models.Most of the professors who have worked hard all their lives open public funds.

Those people kept playing like crazy until three o'clock in the morning before leaving, and Zhou Shi was already too sleepy to keep his eyes open.As usual, spend the night nestling on the sofa in the lounge.If you go back to school at this time, you will be demerited if you are caught.She usually takes a nap at the bar, waits for the dorms to open, and then goes back to sleep.
