Shen Jie also squatted down, her white socks showing from the trouser legs and sneakers. She stroked Xiao Yao's head gently: "How is it? Do you want me to buy you some painkillers?"

"Don't you have it with you?" Xiao Yao asked weakly, "Aren't you also..."

"I'm not in much pain, little cutie." Shen Jie said.

"Forget it, no need, she should be able to eat it." Xiao Yao said.

"Oh my, my little cutie, you're so pitiful." Shen Jie hugged him gently.

Xiao Yao took a deep breath and stood up: "Let's go."

The bar that Xiao Xiong invited them to was originally a business quiet bar. The interior environment was greeted by soft blue lights, and the bar was filled with smooth glasses and bottles, which flickered with faint blue light. On most days, there would be some well-dressed guests sitting on high chairs, quietly conducting business negotiations or relaxing socializing with each other.

But today, today is different.

Because the bar was filled with a large number of enthusiastic fans, holding the Chinese national flag, and some even painted bright national flag patterns on their faces.

The blue light shone on them, creating a sharp contrast with their national flag.

Some were wearing their team's jerseys and were very enthusiastic, but since the game hadn't started yet, the fans were just whispering.

Xiao Yao wondered with some fear what the situation would become once the game fell into a passive position.

He couldn't imagine it at all.

Hopefully no one was hurt and the poor bar owner didn't suffer any damage to his property.

Amen Amen.

Xiao Yao looked around and saw black-and-white photographs hanging on the wall, showing the city scenery and business scenes, suggesting the literary and artistic temperament of this place on weekdays.

A row of comfortable sofas are arranged along the wall, probably for guests to rest or talk. A bouquet of delicate blue flowers is placed on each table, injecting a touch of vitality into the whole environment.

Blue flowers? They must be fake, Xiao Yao thought.

Are there blue flowers in nature?

! !

"Ouyang Qianqian?" Xiao Yao was shocked.

"Brother." The girl sitting on the sofa raised her cocktail glass to Xiao Yao and glanced at Shen Jie: "Sister-in-law?"

"Hello." Shen Jie greeted politely.

Soft jazz music flows from the speakers in the corner, adding a lot to the atmosphere. Near the bar, a skilled bartender is mixing special cocktails for guests, and the fog machine gently sprays a wisp of light blue mist, creating a sense of mystery.

"Boss Xiong! Brother Long! Fish! Squad leader! Boss Hua!" Xiao Yao hugged everyone except Chen Lu. "Why are all of you here? Little Xiong, you have great organizational skills."

"Everyone is considering Mr. Xiao's face." Xiong Ji said.

Shen Jie and Chen Lu went to talk in private. After a while, the waiter brought two glasses of cocktails with floating ice cubes, which were for Xiao Yao and Shen Jie.

"It's my treat this time!" Little Bear said proudly, making a "gun" gesture: "Bloody Mary, sister-in-law's favorite."

"Uh, this." Xiao Yao said with some embarrassment: "Thank you for your kindness, but she and I can't drink cold drinks these two days."

"Why?" said the little bear in confusion.

"Are you stupid?" Xiao Yao pushed him.

"No, I can understand her, but what about you?" Little Bear said, "You are having your period too."

"Yes, I have my period too." Xiao Yao told the truth.

"Tsk," the little bear pouted and said, "Drink it if you want, or not. If you don't want to drink, forget it."

"Well……"

After a piece of soft jazz music, a folk song prelude that Xiao Yao was very familiar with suddenly sounded in the bar.

"The slanting rain fell on the glass window,

Yellow leaves wither on the windowsill;

The young man carrying an umbrella,

He passed through the rain curtain and cast a glance at me;"

This is a song that Xiao Yao liked very much when he was in junior high school. It is called "Scenery", written by Ai Dajin and originally sung by Jing Feng.

Xiao Yao had only heard this one song by Jing Feng, and because his voice was too neutral, he still didn't know whether Jing Feng was a man or a woman.

The boy hummed along with the original singer:

"Everyone who passed by looked at him,

But he played a harmonica;

Goodbye, the melody is faintly singing,

When we meet again, it will no longer be the same as before."

At some point, Shen Jie had separated from Chen Lu and was sitting alone in a corner of the bar, in a daze.

Xiao Yao walked forward, moved his butt, and sat on the high stool next to Shen Jie: "Hey~girl, let me buy you a drink."

Shen Jie ignored him and just stared blankly in a certain direction.

"Add me on QQ~" Xiao Yao stroked Shen Jie's shoulders twice: "Don't look at me because I'm ugly, but I'm very gentle."

Shen Jie continued to sit there like a wooden man, neither drinking nor laughing.

Xiao Yao then realized that her eyes were red, and was shocked: "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

"After the spring flowers bloom and the autumn moon is bright,

The winter sun sets and the summer insects chirp;

Who will sing and who will listen?

Who shouted youth, who responded? "Jing Feng's singing voice still echoed in the bar.

"Hey, young man," a righteous knight with long hair and a national flag painted on his face patted Xiao Yao's shoulder heavily, "It's okay to chat up girls in the bar, but it's too much to touch them even though they ignore you."

What the fuck is it to you?

Xiao Yao felt short of breath and upset. Just as he was about to retort him, Shen Jie threw herself into his arms and buried her head in Xiao Yao's arms.

He looked at the righteous knight, who took three steps back in embarrassment and left.

"What's wrong, mommy meow?" Xiao Yao gently patted Shen Jie's back, "I have something to tell daddy Wang."

"My mother is pregnant." Shen Jie raised her head and looked at Xiao Yao quietly.

"What the hell?" Xiao Yao didn't react to what she was saying for a moment.

"My stepmother is pregnant." Shen Jie said again.

"The wind outside the window blows the bell inside the window,

The person in the window is the scenery outside the window;

Forgive the poetry and style of my youth,

Please forgive my incoherent exhortation. "

"What the hell? How did you know?!" Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie.

"Yan Xiao told me." Shen Jie said.

"Yan Xiao? Yes, why didn't she come today?" Xiao Yao said.

"She came, but she just went to the bathroom, so you didn't see her." Shen Jie told Xiao Yao.

"Okay, you're pregnant, I knew about it a long time ago," Xiao Yao said to Shen Jie, "Did I tell you that you in 2034 told me that you had a younger brother who was born in 05. I can't remember exactly, but it's probably about right."

"Forgive the poetry and sentiments of my youth,

Forgive my incoherent exhortation;

After that, the spring flowers bloomed and the autumn moon was bright,

The winter sun sets and the summer insects chirp.

Who will sing and who will listen?

Whoever shouts youth, who will respond..."

"I finally know why he didn't look for me." Shen Jie said woodenly.

"Him?" Xiao Yao said: "No, you..."

"Haven't you ever thought about this?" Shen Jie's tone began to get excited: "Why can we go home so smoothly? My dad neither rushed to your grandma's house to catch you nor arranged any surveillance around your grandma's house?"

"..." Xiao Yao was dumbfounded.

"Because he doesn't want me anymore, do you understand?" Shen Jie said softly.

"How could you come up with such an idea?" Xiao Yao said hesitantly.

"If your main account is useless, just create a new one. As a gamer, haven't you heard this saying?" Shen Jie suddenly laughed, and she looked very happy.

Xiao Yao: "..."

"He and... that woman have been together for all these years, but they have never had a child," Shen Jie's voice sounded like she was talking to herself: "I asked him why, and he said he was afraid that my stepmother would bully me if she had a child, and he wanted to give me all his love..."

"You believe this? He's lying to you!" Xiao Yao growled, "He's just saying nice things!"

"Because I disappointed him, he didn't want me anymore, so he asked my stepmother for another one. That's why he didn't look for me for such a long time..." Shen Jie said like Xianglin Sao.

"Wake up!" Xiao Yao shook Shen Jie's shoulders vigorously: "Listen carefully, in the original timeline, he and your Aunt Luo also had your brother at this time. This has nothing to do with whether you are obedient or not, or whether you have disappointed him. Your family is big and powerful, so he must diversify the risks..."

"The beauty has aged, the youth's heart is young,

The strings of the harp broke the old friend;

Who will sing and who will listen?

Who shouted youth——"

The word "Spring" was abruptly cut off halfway through the song. Then the live commentary of CCTV5 began to sound throughout the bar. People were cheering inside and outside the TV. Someone in the bar even blew a trumpet.

This posture is just like the Chinese national football team has already won the championship trophy, Xiao Yao thought.

Before the game started, everyone in the bar stood up and sang the national anthem along with the men's football players on TV. Xiao Yao had no choice but to quickly pull Shen Jie to stand on the ground together.

"How about, if you're not in the mood, I'll go back with you first?" Xiao Yao discussed with Shen Jie in a low voice.

"Watch." Shen Jie wiped her face like a cat and answered concisely, "Watch the game."

Like everyone else in the bar, her eyes were fixed on the high-mounted color TV.

Okay, Xiao Yao thought.

"He should be watching too. He watches the game just like these people." Shen Jie said this out of the blue.

"Ah, ah." Xiao Yao patted Shen Jie's shoulder: "Dad is watching too."

"With the sound of Al Fahari's whistle, the game began. The Neon team kicked off first..." The commentator's voice came from the TV.

This was Xiao Yao's first time watching the game, but he had heard Shen Tianyun describe it many times - it was a familiar yet completely unfamiliar experience of watching a game.

While watching the game - in fact his mind was not on the game at all - Xiao Yao held Shen Jie's shoulders and patted her gently, as if he was coaxing a baby in a cradle to sleep.

Shen Jie seemed to have focused all her attention on the football match.

The first 20 minutes of the game were generally dull, but there was always a feeling of being beaten in the water, which was a bit depressing.

The atmosphere in the bar also became depressed under this dull rhythm.

Xiao Yao thought that the midfield under the leadership of Zheng Zhi had no ability to create opportunities.

The boy glanced down at his phone, and as the game time approached the 22nd minute, he held his breath.

"It's coming." Xiao Yao reminded Shen Jie softly.

"Yeah." The girl's face began to become nervous.

At this time, the Neon team got a free kick.

"Danger!" the commentator on TV shouted, and Xiao Yao and Shen Jie also trembled all over.

Before Xiao Yao could see clearly what was happening, the ball had already rolled into the Chinese national team's goal.

"The Neon team hit the ball to the back post and then passed it back," the commentator said, "It seems that No. 15 Fukushi Takashi headed the ball into the goal. The Neon team's first attack was around 22 and a half minutes into the first half... The Neon team scored first. Their first attack was indeed scored from a free kick..."

The commentator on TV was still chattering on and on, with images of the Japanese players in blue jerseys running, cheering and hugging each other, but the bar was in an uproar.
