Over the mountain is the sea

Chapter 14 Alcohol can produce phantoms ([-])

Back at the apartment before seven o'clock, Yi Nan took a hot bath first, relaxed his body, wrapped his hair wet in a towel, wrapped himself in a bathrobe, and went to the kitchen to cook noodles and eat.

The kitchen is clean and brand new, and she has no time to take care of it herself, so she hired a part-time worker to come over every two days to do cleaning, which was unimaginable before.

If grandpa and grandma found out, they must blame her. They can't do such a little housework by themselves, and they still spend money to hire someone!Although she used to be at home, she rarely did housework.

But now that they are gone, Yi Nan can't hear the nagging even if she wanted to. When she thought about it, she felt an unspeakable pain in her heart. She took a deep breath and ordered herself not to think about it, no matter what. , just look forward.

While eating the noodles, Yi Nan hesitated about what to do next. In fact, she didn't have the habit of going to bed in the morning. Almost every day she was busy until after ninety o'clock before coming back.

Occasionally, when she is free, she will read some books and think about her spare time, which is really very poor.

Halfway through eating, Jingjing called her. Her voice was a little hoarse, as if she had been crying.

"Stop eating, come out and chat with me."

Yi Nan wiped the corner of his greasy mouth with the back of his hand, swallowed and said, "You have to let me eat a little before I have the strength to chat with you——Crying? Who messed with you again? Your tear ducts are really developed... ..."

Jingjing waited until she had finished taunting her, and then hesitantly said: "I and him...really broke up."

Qiao Jingjing broke up with her boyfriend - only two weeks after her prophecy, because he finally had a chance to settle down in Japan.

After hanging up the phone, Yi Nan blinked her eyes twice, and said angrily, "What's wrong with the world!"

Meet at a bar.

Sitting opposite each other, Yinan looked carefully at Jingjing's expression, "Are you sure you're okay?"

Jingjing sullenly glanced at her blankly, "Then what do you want from me? Cry and make a fuss, or hang yourself!"

Yi Nan stuck out her tongue, "Yeah, pretend I didn't ask, and if I ask, I'll fry the pot and drink!"

They ordered a whole bottle of fruit wine, which is not high in alcohol, but for people who don't drink much, this concentration is just right.

"Yinan, tell me why people are so selfish. He is in Japan, and he even found a girlfriend, but he kept everything from me. Ha, it's really a good idea - if he can stay in Japan, he will marry him." I dumped, if I had to go back to China, I dumped the other party, anyway, it's disgusting!"

Yi Nan pushed the wine glass in front of her, calmly persuaded, "Come, have a taste!"

"I have no problem with him breaking up, but he can't treat people like monkeys like this!"

"Did you scold him?"

"No, I don't want to talk to him a word."

Yi Nan sighed, "Why do you do this? Either you can beat him face to face, or you can turn around and forget about him. Why bother talking behind your back. I'm not helping him, I just love you, it hurts my liver Spleen hurt!"

Jingjing couldn't help being wronged, "You don't feel back pain when you stand and talk, have you tried it?"

Yi Nan lowered his head and took a sip of the wine, but said nothing.

There was soft music floating in the air. Yi Nan listened carefully and identified it as "Golden Bridge over the River of Sorrow".The music made her feel a little bit in a trance, as if she had come back from the past, but she regained her composure and laughed dumbfounded. Everything in the past was just like a dream.

After Jingjing had finished venting, she picked up her wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, quite heroic.

"Yi Nan, I suddenly felt that love is actually equivalent to a serious illness. The illness comes like a mountain, and it's menacing, making people crazy, but once it's over, it's just like that, and it's a bit ridiculous."

Yi Nan squinted her eyes and looked at her, "It's not bad that you have become a philosopher after falling in love!" But she thought in her heart, is it because she is not yet terminally ill that she can think so openly?Pausing for a moment, he murmured again: "Could it be... that there won't be any sequelae?"

Jingjing froze, shook her head and said: "Yi Nan, sometimes I feel that you are really stubborn and insist on making yourself ugly... At least I don't feel uncomfortable when I think this way, whether there are sequelae is a matter for the future, I just want to enjoy this moment without pain."

Yinan was shocked.

A bottle of wine soon ran out, both of them became interested, waved their hands, and served a bottle of whiskey.

Although they work in the hotel all year round, they don't drink alcohol at all. The waiters skillfully open the wine bottles and pour them one by one.

"Man up, man up!" Jingjing loudly commanded the waiter, and gestured rudely, completely subverting the image of a lady in the past.

Yi Nan looked at her with joy, "The fox's tail is finally exposed."

The waiter pretended to be calm and obeyed Jingjing's order to pour them wine, then held back a smile and walked away.

After clinking glasses, the two poured it into their stomachs, just like two children doing bad things, giggling happily, and soon choked up coughing, beat each other's back sympathetically, and laughed until their faces flushed.

When Meng Shaoyu stepped into the bar with a group of people, his eyes were naturally attracted by those two ostentatious figures.

"It is said that drinking too much wine will produce hallucinations." Jingjing always has many strange ideas in her mind.

Yi Nan looked at her with a smile and said, "That's drunk, it's so mysterious!" Putting down the glass, he said, "I'd better not drink, otherwise the two of you will be confused for a while, and you won't be able to find your way home."

Jingjing smiled sweetly at her, "Yes, you have to make do with me tonight."

The amber liquid was contained in a crystal clear glass, shaking tremblingly. Yi Nan lowered her head and sniffed, narrowed her eyes slightly intoxicated, and couldn't help but take another sip. I have completely adapted to the rich aroma of the wine, as if I had done a warm-up exercise, and then I just feel like drinking fine wine.

"Hi!" There was a cheerful male voice floating above his head, which sounded familiar.

Yinan looked up, and it was indeed Meng Shaoyu, "Yao Yinan, what a coincidence! I met you here." He sat down in the empty chair beside her very familiarly, and grinned brightly at Jingjing again. ,"Hi pretty girl!"

Jingjing stared wide-eyed, and suddenly reacted quickly, sullenly, secretly grabbed Yi Nan's clothes under the table, and whispered nervously in her ear, "He was the man who came back to the hotel to look for you! "

Yi Nan glanced at the charming smile on Meng Shaoyu's face, it was his living sign, as if as long as he wanted, everything could go according to his wishes, she suddenly wanted to play tricks on him.

"Isn't it a coincidence that Mr. Meng is a regular visitor here? Is there a beautiful woman here with me today, but don't neglect her, you will have to apologize later." She stretched her neck as she spoke, pretending to be eager Looking around the bar.

Meng Shaoyu didn't feel embarrassed at all, and pointed out his seat to her very cooperatively, "Over there, see... But you're going to be disappointed, there isn't a single beautiful woman, purely male! Hehe!"

Yi Nan curled her lips, and smiled even more wickedly, "Why, your taste has changed recently, and you started to treat men..." She stopped talking for no reason, her eyes fixed on a figure sitting near the bar for a moment, although he It was facing sideways, but she was all too familiar with that silhouette, even with her eyes closed, she could still perceive it—it was him!

Her heart was throbbing violently and out of balance, and she couldn't hear the noise around her. All that was still functioning at this moment were her eyes and a heart that was ready to come out. All the memories that had been tightly sealed in her heart were being pushed back violently. The chains are about to break out of the cage...

With a hoarse voice, he asked her in a low voice: "Is there no other choice? Yi Nan!"

Her hand hurt from his grip, but she lowered her head and bit her lower lip tightly, not looking at his face, but not making a sound.

Later, he finally realized his selfishness, so he could only compromise wearily, "Okay, you go, you'd better go far away, don't let me see you again..."

……

As if by telepathy, Yi Nan saw the man turning his face slowly.She just felt short of breath, and the blood all over her body was rushing to the top of her head, she couldn't help standing up, and stared at him greedily, she wanted to see clearly, to see if it was him...

Tears instantly filled her eyes, and in the blurred tears, she saw that it was indeed him, or that face, that indifferent expression, and the most affectionate eyes when she was looking at her...

Her body tilted suddenly, a burst of dizziness forced her to close her eyes, she raised her hands to stroke her forehead, and calmed herself down, and when she opened her eyes again, all the organs in her body finally resumed their work, with a crystal on her shoulders. Jing's hands, she eagerly asked in her ear: "Yi Nan, what's wrong with you?"

But Meng Shaoyu looked at her in astonishment as if he was in a fog.

Yi Nan didn't have time to speak, so she was eagerly chasing that figure, but he was no longer among the people sitting at the bar, and the scene just now seemed to be an illusion created in her brain.

Disappointment swept her body like a tide, she suddenly felt unwilling, gritted her teeth, threw Jingjing away and rushed out.

She thought she was clear-headed, but the soles of her feet were endlessly soft. Every step she took, she seemed to be missing the ground and wobbling, but she still ran out with all her strength.

The night is as cool as water, and the autumn wind blows on the skin, bringing a touch of desolate chill. Yi Nan stumbles to find it on the bluestone road, just like she has been doing for many years, persistent and meaningless, she seems to fall into the endless world again. In the endless dream, she didn't want to wake up, but reason told her that she must wake up...

Jingjing followed Yi Nan and rushed out.

Yi Nan didn't go far, the pain in her head and the weakness of her body forced her to admit that she was drunk, she held on to a camphor tree and struggled to breathe.Her body was as thin as a cicada's wings, and when a gust of wind blew, she shivered, unable to feel her own existence, her teeth were chattering, and despair flooded her body like this, she suddenly slumped down, slumped down, and her hands slid Hold your face and cry loudly...

Jingjing staggered at a distance of one meter from her, and froze on the spot, stunned by Yi Nan's gaffe, speechless.

Quick footsteps came from behind her, and then someone stopped beside her. Jingjing turned her head in a daze, and saw Meng Shaoyu who was also astonished, "You..." Turned around and continued to look at Yinan, "She..." at a loss.After a while, she finally came back to her senses, rushed forward and hugged Yinan's shoulders tightly, and asked anxiously, "Yi Nan, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Shaoyu seldom sees girls cry. Among the women he knows, whether they are colleagues in the company or girlfriends he has dated, it is rare that they don't care about their image and let out their grief in front of others.

And the girl in front of him who was crying so painfully was actually Yao Yinan who he had always thought was stronger than Tong Wandou.

"The strongest people are often the weakest," he couldn't help thinking.

But what could make her lose her composure?He was still arguing with himself one second ago, but his expression suddenly changed the next second? !
He shook his head, unable to understand.

Walking forward, he lowered his head and stretched out his hand to Yinan, his voice was a little low, "Yao Yinan, what's the matter, we'll talk about it when we go home."

His voice was very calm, with almost no ups and downs, but it made people feel reliable. She gradually stopped crying, but still twitched intermittently, and obediently handed her hand to him, dry and warm palm It gave her the illusion of returning to the human world, and somewhere in her heart there was a slight breath, like a sigh of sorrow.

Standing on the side of the road to stop the taxi, Jingjing suddenly exclaimed "Ah—" and Meng Shaoyu, who was supporting Yi Nan, glanced at her.

"Oops, the bill at the bar hasn't been settled yet!" People must have thought she was drinking "Overlord Wine", what a shame!

Meng Shaoyu snorted, "Don't be nervous, they won't come after me—I've already been the scapegoat."

"Ah?" Jingjing blushed suddenly, "Thank you so much!"

She tried to give him money, but he stopped her, "You really feel sorry for me, don't you?"

Jingjing didn't know what to say, so she could only withdraw her hand embarrassingly.

Sitting in the car, Jingjing carefully hugged Yi Nan, and used her palm to test her forehead from time to time. It was not as hot as imagined, but rather cold.

Meng Shaoyu showed the driver the way in the front passenger seat, changed from his usual hippie smile, and was unusually quiet and silent.

Yi Nan was half asleep and half awake, her thoughts were always wandering in the soft void, and the pain in her heart had nowhere to vent. She murmured intermittently under Jingjing's ears, "You are really... a crow's mouth, I just... saw a phantom."

Although she spoke softly, Jingjing still heard clearly, she wanted to laugh, but couldn't, her nose felt sore, and her arms around Yi Nan tightened again.

Although Yi Nan never talked about anything to Jingjing, and even complained very little in her words, Jingjing could feel that there was a heavy weight on Yi Nan's heart, no matter how she smiled No matter how brilliant it is, it cannot be completely concealed.
