Tender as wild

Chapter 7 He will take you away
  As the time went deeper into the night, the number of tourists on the street increased a lot, and the wine house finally welcomed more guests, filling the hall with seats.

The boss walked in from outside the door, leaned to their wine table, smiled and toasted Fang Ye with a glass of wine, and then whispered a few words to Brother Xiaobai.

Wait until the boss leaves.

Xiao Bai took out a rubber band, tied the bangs in front of her ears behind her ears, and asked Bai Li with a wanton smile: "Sister, what song do you want to listen to later?"

Baili didn't know why, so she just said, "I can do it."

Brother Xiaobai nodded, left the wine table, and walked to the front desk to get his guitar.

This behavior is very strange.

Bai Li looked at Chengzi, who was the most talkative in the audience, in confusion, and asked him: "Brother Chengzi, what are you going to do, Brother Xiaobai?"

"Ah." Chengzi just took a sip of wine, picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth. He squinted his eyes and replied with a smile: "The resident singer of this wine shop is a bastard. He always asks for leave every three days. Your brother Bai can play the guitar. , the boss asked him to help with singing to attract customers, he got used to it, and he can come back with a box of wine in a while."

Bai Li found it strange that someone who was drinking just now was actually going to sing on stage.

He stretched his neck and looked at the stage set up in the middle.

It's a pity that there was a very strong guest sitting directly in front of her, who had just blocked her entire line of sight.

Bai Li pursed her lips.

He twisted his neck unwillingly, trying to find a more suitable viewing angle.

Fang Ye didn't find it annoying to see her twisting around like this, and her eyes were still bright, as if she was looking forward to it.

He raised his hand to put out the cigarette, stood up, pulled her stool over, and pointed to his position:
  "Sit there and watch."

His gaze was too fierce and undeniable.

Before Bai Li could react, her body had already changed position, and there was still a faint residual warmth from the boy on the back of the chair.

As soon as she raised her head, she could see everything on the stage, and her eyes were instantly attracted.

On the stage.

Brother Xiaobai sat on a high stool holding his guitar, his fingers casually grazing the strings, and a series of pleasant tones emerged.

A familiar prelude flows through.

Brother Xiaobai’s magnetic singing voice rang in everyone’s ears.

"——Dangdangdang"

"——I will describe to you a soul that has eternal youth."

A very familiar melody.

Bai Li's smile appeared almost as soon as he opened his mouth.

This is a song she particularly likes, "Boys Don't Cry" by Mr. Turtles

There were many people around who liked this song and sang along loudly.

Cheerful singing can arouse the atmosphere and mood of the pub.

Lived for so many years.

Baili has never been to a place like this.

Life before was boring and monotonous. Apart from campus life, even when I go home and be a transparent person, I can’t turn up the volume when watching dramas.

Compared with the freedom here, they are simply two extremes.

She was infected by the joy of the people around her, and she could hardly suppress the smile on her face, looking eagerly at everything in front of her.

I didn’t dare to be too presumptuous, so I just sang softly.

"-Although there are deep tears on your face."

"——My heart, my love, still follows the dream."

"—Go find another life, and he will take you with him."

When she sang this, she suddenly stopped.

This lyrics is so appropriate.

She mustered up some courage and had the courage to pull Fang Ye's sleeve.

Fang Ye raised his eyelids slightly and watched her little movements quietly. Without stopping him, he raised his voice and asked, "What are you doing?"

Bai Li blinked her round eyes and said sincerely, "Thank you."

The loud singing drowned out her whispers.

Fang Ye didn't hear clearly and said calmly: "What did you say?"

Bai Li's ears felt a little warm. Under his gaze, she said in the loudest voice: "Brother, thank you for taking me in."

Finished. She turned around embarrassedly and continued to watch Xiaobai sing.

Fang Ye looked at her shaking head, and a touch of softness flashed in his eyes. Although it disappeared quickly, the anger all over his body subsided a little.

Seeing this, Chengzi came to him, picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, didn't you say she has a mother? Why did she suddenly come to you? Do you plan to raise this girl from now on?"

Scenes from the past were torn open bloodyly, and the scar behind his ear had a faint chill that penetrated his bones.

There was a long silence.

Fang Ye raised his glass and clinked it with him. When the wine reached his mouth, he murmured to himself:
  "Just keep it, it's not like you haven't raised it before."

He curled his lips, and the bitter alcohol slowly entered his throat.

……

I was happy until half past twelve.

Fang Yecai broke Bai Li's interest and leaned over to ask her.

"have you eaten?"

Bai Li knew that this was telling her that it was time to go home.

She didn't have the habit of having a good time, so she calmed down her emotions naturally and nodded obediently.

"I am full."

Fang Ye glanced at the bowl in front of her. She had indeed finished eating. Then he stood up, drank the wine in the glass, and said to Chengzi and the others, "I'm leaving. I'll buy the order later."

Chengzi was about to say why he was so fast, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Baili standing obediently behind him. The words that came to my lips became: "Don't worry, Brother Ye."

When the two of them walked to the door, Xiaobai noticed this situation and quietly waved to Baili on the stage.

Baili also waved to him.

As soon as they left, Chengzi hugged Xiaoying and smiled: "Tsk, Brother Ye is really like taking care of a child now. He left at half past twelve. I'm so used to it."

Shadow smiled, "Then why don't you complain to my face?"

"Hey hey hey, don't worry!"

……

Just out of the hotel door.

A wall away.

The noisy sound was instantly isolated inside the door.

Bai Li got used to the sudden purity for a while before she came back to her senses.

There are still so many tourists on the streets. Countless lanterns are hung on the antique buildings. The green trees on both sides are lush and make rustling sounds when the wind blows.

She turned her head to look at Fang Ye beside her. From this angle, she could only see his distinct jawline.

Turning into a small alley, there were no street lights, and the moon was hidden in the clouds.

It seemed that she was a little embarrassed while walking, but she couldn't help but ask the questions she had asked today.

"...Can I ask you something?"

Perhaps because the music disappeared, her courage to call her brother also disappeared.

Fang Ye didn't even look at her: "Say."

"How much accommodation fee will I have to pay if I live here in the future?"

"..."

A long time passed and no one answered her.

She was even more embarrassed.

Why didn't you answer?
  This is a very important issue for her, and it determines how she should earn this money during the two months of summer vacation.

She is most afraid of causing trouble to others.

Because she knows very well that no one in this world can tolerate her, including her own mother.

and so……

You can't be so shameless as to disturb me and not give me anything, right?
  After thinking for a while, she stopped.

He took out the small bag he carried with him and took out all the money from it. He counted them by the moonlight and found that there were a thousand pieces scattered here and there.

Not quite enough.
