Tang Yi found a job at a place called "Rabbit's Foot Tavern". He was a bartender in name. In fact, due to the cheap wine price, it was located near the market. The customers were mixed, and there were often troubles. The owner saw that Tang Yi was sturdy muscles, requiring him to act as a thug when necessary.
The bartender's job is not difficult, just pour the wine and collect the money. He didn't even have to leave the bar, because it was the other waitress' job to serve food and wine. However, this tavern is well-known among those with a relatively large proportion of rough men such as porters, mechanical repairers, and miners, so every day after 7 o'clock in the peak period, the store is crowded and busy. These men are usually not very good-tempered. They have nowhere to vent their anger after working as a coolie all day, and their attitudes are usually very bad. Of course Tang Yi didn't buy their account. On the first day of work, a customer threw a glass of beer on his face because he thought he was slow in serving wine. Tang Yifei kicked the man half a head taller than him out of the store. The boss almost fired him because of this.
At that time, Tang Yi thought that if he lost his job, he could find the next job without knowing the year of the monkey, and it was almost time to pay the rent, so he suppressed his temper, admitted his mistakes and had a good attitude, and promised that he would not fight casually in the future. people. In fact, the boss saw that Tang Yi was so fierce. At that time, when he stepped out of the tavern, the scene of the sudden silence was so cool, and he didn't really want him to leave. With such a person in charge in the store, he no longer has to worry about those rogues who like to eat free food on credit, so he just deducted his wages for the day and nothing else.
Gradually, everyone in the seven or eight blocks of the local area knew that the bartender in the Rabbit's Foot Tavern could not be messed with, and everyone's attitude towards the clerks became polite. The waitress named Lisa thanked Tang Yi very much, because thanks to him, no one dared to pat her ass casually anymore.
Gradually, Tang Yi's new life began to get on the right track. I sleep until eleven o'clock every day, go out to have breakfast after a brief wash, report to the hotel at 1:30, clean the table and set up chairs to move the beer keg out of the wine cellar, the hotel opens at 2 pm, and I am busy until twelve in the morning Point, close the door to pay for cleaning, then go to the night market stalls that have not been closed to eat bowls of rice and go home to sleep. At three o'clock every day, I rarely communicate with others.
However, if he hadn't had that scar on his face, he would be considered a very handsome type, even among a group of men with five or three thick men. One day after closing time, Lisa came to him a little coyly, holding the dinner plate nervously in both hands, her pretty cheeks were red, and she could see a section of snow-white breasts at the half-open neckline of her shirt. She asked him if he wanted to go to the open-air movie together.
Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, hesitated, and lied that he had an appointment with a friend that day to go out. Seeing the back of Lisa leaving in disappointment, Tang Yi felt very uncomfortable.
Lisa is a kind and beautiful girl, and it is a blessing to see him. But he reflexively refused.
At night, Tang Yi lay in bed and couldn't sleep, and the silver-white figure was always in front of him. It's not that he didn't hate Mercury. In the first few days, he even thought about whether to rush into the barracks and beat Mercury. But later he felt that it was really useless to think about it.
This kind of thing, gathering and dispersing was originally very common. You can't kill people and set fire to them just because others don't like them, right? Wouldn't he have become the same pervert as Lee.
What's more, Mercury had made it clear to him from the very beginning: they could not be lovers, not now, nor in the future. It was he himself who forgot his position, wanted more and more, and finally dug a big hole for himself, and then buried himself in it.
Tang Yi counted with his fingers, he has been here for almost a month. Quicksilver never contacted him, not even a message. It can be seen that he and he are really nothing.
So what are you still holding on to? Why hold on to it? Why do I think of mercury every time I eat noodles? Why hasn't he had a mouthful of noodles since the first day? Why do I occasionally stare at that shell chain in a daze? Why do people with blue eyes feel stuffy and don't dare to look into each other's eyes
Tang Yi felt that he was really an idiot.
So the next day, shortly after the opening, he stopped Lisa when there were not many customers.
She smiled at him generously, with a sweet dimple, without any embarrassment or unhappiness from being rejected.
Tang Yi mustered up his courage, and he asked Lisa to go out.
He's at least trying to start a new life.
"Lisa, I..."
"Little sweetheart~"
The sudden magic sound filled his ears, and Tang Yi shuddered suddenly.
impossible…
He saw Lisa's expression suddenly changed, the admiration in his eyes almost materialized into two huge peach hearts, and a surprised smile appeared at someone behind him.
"Mr. Messenger!"
Tang Yi tried his best to control his expression, put on a poker face and turned around.
Dressed in a well-tailored rose-red casual suit, her beige hair glowed blond in the afternoon sun, looking like a prince inspecting the slums. It could be seen that Tang Yi wanted to hit him more and more.
All eyes in the tavern were focused on Lee, everyone stood up one after another, and those who wore hats took off their hats. Lee looked around kindly, "Don't be so restrained, I just came to see my friends."
After he finished speaking, he walked over like no one else, and gave Tang Yi a big smile.
So all eyes shifted to Tang Yi instantly. Whispers spread from every corner.
"That bartender is actually friends with the Equality Messenger!"
"What the hell is the bartender?"
"Oops... I've had a fight with him before..."
Tang Yi felt that his temple was throbbing and hurting, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "What are you doing!"
He gave Lisa a gentle smile, almost knocking her out of her head, "Beauty, please give me a martini."
Lisa replied sweetly, and the bird flew away. Tang Yi couldn't believe that Lee had ruined his possible date like that.
He sat down on the bar chair in front of Tang Yi, held his cheek with one hand, looked at Tang Yi up and down, his eyes were sticky and greasy, and Tang Yi wanted to put the dinner plate next to him and stick it on his face.
"Little sweetheart, did you miss me?"
"Why do you want to try again? This time it's not just a nosebleed."
He tilted his head in confusion, "Then what do you want me to call you?"
"…I want you to get out."
"Don't be so negative, do you know how many people are envious of you being able to talk to me~"
"Whoever envy you to go to."
"But I only have you in my heart."
Tang Yi rolled his eyes. At this time, Lisa brought the wine that lee asked for, and lee casually threw a wink at it. Lisa blushed and left.
Tang Yi sadly found that Lisa had forgotten his existence. He restrained his urge to curse, because after so many lessons, he knew that he couldn't win against Lee.
As for the fist... Although it seems that Lee came in alone, it is hard to guarantee that there are not so many soldiers guarding outside. What's more, all the guests in the tavern respect lee so much, if he really does it, he won't take any advantage.
Tang Yi then decided to ignore Lee's existence, picked up the rag and continued to wipe the cup. However, I heard Lee say over there, "Baby, would you like to have dinner with me?"
Tang Yi crushed the cup in his hand.
Since then, lee has appeared in the Rabbit's Foot Tavern every few days, the time is not necessarily, and every time he will not do anything particularly excessive, he just makes Tang Yiqi so angry that he will stop, it seems that the special trip is Seeing that Tang Yi lost his temper, he often showed an expression of enjoyment. Tang Yi simply didn't know whether this person was a sadist, a masochist, or both
Tang Yi couldn't tell the bitterness. Now everyone thinks that he is a messenger of equality, and they are more and more respectful to him. Even his boss hadn't scolded him for a week. All Lisa talks to him now is to find out if Lee has a girlfriend and what she looks like. Tang Yi told her that Lee was a pervert, and she said proudly, "I just like perverts."
Later, Tang Yi got used to it. Before closing that night, there was no one in the store, and even Lisa got off work early because she was unwell, and he was the only one left to close the stall. Lee suddenly came to the store. He seemed a little tired that day, and he didn't tease Tang Yi very much. He just ordered a glass of wine and watched Tang Yi sweeping the floor while drinking.
Tang Yi was taken aback by him and cleared his throat, "Luo Wei and the others... What did you do to them?"
This was the first time he took the initiative to speak to Lee.
"They are very good. Luo Wei and Lin Maochen still refused to join our army. I ordered them and their Kraken to be sent to the other two new refugee shelter hotels. Tan Mingyuan temporarily helped the hospital in the city, and waited until When the messenger of the first base came to deliver the supplies, he took the opportunity to return to the first base to find his family."
Tang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, finally, everyone is fine.
but…
Suddenly he chuckled twice and looked at him with deep eyes, "What you want to ask is actually mercury, right?"
Tang Yi's movements stopped for a moment, and he mechanically repeated the sweeping movements as if he didn't hear them.
Suddenly he stood up and walked towards him. Tang Yi stopped and frowned as he watched him get closer. Lee's smile carried a little bit of evil and charm in the dark light and shadow, and a certain confident and calm momentum made Tang Yi feel suppressed. lee invaded his personal realm, so he took a step back. Lee took another step forward, he took another step back, and it was not until his back suddenly hit the wall that he realized that he had nowhere to retreat.
He pressed the broom handle against Lee's chest, "Are you looking for a fight again?"
The amber eyes seemed to be chanting a confusing incantation, tightly capturing Tang Yi's eyes, "Why? Mercury is already finished with you, isn't it?"
Tang Yi's expression cracked for a moment, but he stabilized himself. He raised his eyebrows vigorously and sneered, "So?"
"I like a man like you who is strong, handsome and infatuated the most." Lee's tongue licked the corners of his lips quickly, "Everyone said that after doing it with me once, it will become addictive. You haven't vented for a long time. Right?" Lee leaned forward again, the itchy magnetic voice lingering in his ears, "Would you like to try it?"
Tang Yi pushed the broom handle forward with force, "No interest!"
"You... shouldn't you be defending Mercury?" Lee's eyes widened in surprise. Tang Yi was blown away by what he said, and immediately shouted, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Then why did you reject me?"
"What's wrong with your brain? Even if I want to find someone to do it, I won't find you!"
"Why? Wasn't your reaction very strong last time in a submarine?"
"You dare to mention the last time?!"
"Tang Yi." Lee's eyes suddenly became dangerous, "I'm already very patient with you. I don't mind forcing you."
Tang Yi's eyes were on fire, and he stared back at him, "Afraid of you?!"
So he took a step back, and the darkness in his eyes grew. He snapped his fingers, and suddenly several soldiers rushed in.
Tang Yi hit three, but was finally kicked by the remaining two and fell to the ground at the most sensitive part of the waist, with his hands quickly chained behind him. Lee waved his hand, and the soldiers quickly retreated.
Tang Yi spat bloody spit on the ground, and sneered, "If you want to rape, you have to ask someone to tie it up for you, you bastard!"
He shrugged his shoulders carelessly, "I'm a weak scholar, I can't do such rude things." He walked slowly to Tang Yi and squatted down, raised Tang Yi's chin frivolously with one finger, "You know what? , I like to train a disobedient little beast like you the most."
Tang Yi pulled Lee's hand away, but suddenly turned back with his chin pinched. In the next moment, Lee suddenly and fiercely kissed Tang Yi's lips.
Rough force, biting without pity, as if to eat him. Tang Yi was thinking about when he would have the opportunity to bend his knees and kick Lee's vulnerability, but before he could do it, a sharp sound wave burst open the door of the tavern, bringing a group of soldiers who were hit and flew in by the sound wave. Lee had no choice but to stop, but when he turned his head, he saw that Mercury's eyes were burning with monstrous anger. He strode in and grabbed Lee's collar and lifted him up.
Tang Yi was stunned.
Water... mercury
He was stared at by Mercury's eyes that seemed to kill, but he was not afraid, "It's really timely."
Mercury stared at him closely, and said in a dangerous voice, "If you move him one more finger, I promise you will regret it."
A series of low laughs came out, "So you're trying to be a hero? What? Don't you want to see your 'property' being touched by others?"
"He's not anyone's property!"
"Then who is he from you? Friend? Ex-boyfriend? Substitute? Cannon friend?" Lee jokingly glanced at Tang Yi who was stunned beside him, held Mercury's wrist, and changed the conversation, "Okay, since If you want to catch up, I won't bother you anymore."
Quickin pushed him out, lee staggered a few steps, tidied up his clothes, walked between Quickin and Tang Yi with graceful steps, and glanced at Tang Yi ambiguous.
"Baby, let's talk another day."
Tang Yi watched Lee walk out of the broken door, and the soldiers who had been knocked down by Mercury also hurriedly followed. Ye Feng poured in from the door, whirling between Tang Yi and Mercury.
Mercury moved suddenly, but Tang Yi took a step back.
Mercury was stunned for a moment, the wind blew his long hair, and the expression on his face was blurred in the dim light.
"Tang Yi..."
"Why are you here." Tang Yi looked away and asked briefly.
"I... passed by... "
"Passing by?" Tang Yi sneered, "You have passed by so far."
"..." Mercury went around behind Tang Yi and shattered the handcuffs that bound Tang Yi with infrasound waves. Tang Yi moved his wrist and said, "Thank you."
Mercury looked at him with indescribable eyes, unable to tell whether it was sadness or pity or what. Tang Yi hated that kind of gaze.
"How is my brother?"
Mercury nodded, "He's fine, he's just under house arrest in the arena."
Tang Yi snorted and began to silently lift up the table and chairs on the ground. He sighed, how to explain to the boss tomorrow how the door here is broken...
"Tang Yi, how are you recently?"
Tang Yi felt that there was a smoldering fire in his heart, which made him want to escape the current situation. He stopped and turned around slowly.
"What are you doing here?" Tang Yi asked seriously.
Mercury was stunned for a moment, then looked down, "I just want to see you."
"Look at what I'm doing?" Tang Yi threw down the broom, and his anger rose little by little from the bottom of his eyes, "If you don't want to see each other again, then never show up. What's the point of you showing up now?"
Mercury seemed to be suppressing something, clenching her hands into fists, "Why did you leave without a word after meeting Tang Ya that day?"
Tang Yi couldn't believe what he heard, "I'm leaving?!"
"Lee said you were gone." Mercury took a step forward, and Tang Yi had the urge to step back, "I can't find you, no one knows where you are. If I didn't follow Lee, I would Didn't even know you were still in Rome."
Tang Yi laughed angrily, "So you still blame me? What are you looking for me for?"
Mercury seemed to be suddenly stopped and stared at him, unable to answer for a long time.
“…We…need to talk,” Mercury finally said.
Tang Yi felt anger and sadness stuck in his throat, and nothing was right. He took a half step back, suppressed those impulsive words, lowered his head and said to himself, "I know what you want to say. Don't worry, I understand. I don't think so. The things I said to you before, you Never mind. I've lived my life too. You don't have to feel sorry for me or anything."
"Tang Yi..." Mercury took a few steps forward and grabbed his shoulder, but Tang Yi stubbornly stared at the ground under his feet and refused to look at him. Mercury felt that there were a lot of things he wanted to say, but he couldn't say a word. In the end, he could only persuade him, "Tang Yi, you have to be careful, it's better to change to another place. used."
Tang Yi raised his head, and Mercury was stunned when he saw his red eyes.
Tang Yi pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled savagely, "You're so lenient."
"… "
"Let's go. Don't bother me again in the future." Tang Yi slightly restrained his smile, his voice was cold, but his nasal voice betrayed him.
Mercury frowned, and Tang Yi's attitude made him a little angry, "Have you thought about what he would do to you if it wasn't for me just now?"
"It's my business what I do with him." Tang Yi stared at him like a furry beast, "How do you know we're not playing sm?"
"Tang Yi!"
"You and I have nothing to do with me now! I don't need your protection!" Tang Yi shouted at him, almost out of control, "I finally planned to forget you, what are you doing! What do you want from me! How can it be!"
Every question of Tang Yi was filled with unspeakable sadness. He had endured it for too long, no one said anything, and he could only digest all the burdens by himself. At the end, the anger has gradually turned into a plea, and he closed his eyes fiercely to calm his emotions.
"I beg you, leave me alone."
[Don't use false tenderness to keep hope in my heart, don't use pity to look at my broken dignity] Tang Yi turned around and stopped looking at Mercury, trying to be calm and support himself The spine, "I don't regret liking you, the days with you are very happy. However, it can only come here."
Tang Yi's words were like fine needles, which pierced into the heart of Mercury like a dense rain.
It can only come here, it can only end.
It should have been like this.
But why does he feel so sad
Tang Yi heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and after a while, everyone was finally quiet.
He turned around again, and the quicksilver was gone.
The lonely twilight in the room reflected his somewhat lonely silhouette. Tang Yi quietly raised his head, letting the pain in his heart settle down a little bit.
It will be fine. He said so to himself.
