The Yin Market in the middle of the night is far more lively than the outside world, and when there are big events, the atmosphere is even worse. Chen Xian led the crowd to walk on the noisy street, and seemed to be infected by this festive atmosphere, and his mood inevitably became cheerful.
The owner of the barbecue restaurant that Chen Xian took everyone to was named Zhan Tang.
It is said that he was also a decent person during his lifetime...
Some people say that he died at the hands of the government.
Some people say that he died at the hands of his colleagues.
But more people are willing to believe another strange statement.
In a certain folk gossip news collection activity, according to a boss Ge Ci who did not want to reveal his real name, although Bai Zhantang had been hunted down by the government for many years, he did not die in the hands of the government in the end. It's not about dying at the hands of colleagues...
"That night when he was walking in the city barefoot against the wind and flying over the walls, he accidentally slipped his foot and fell headfirst from the fifth floor to the first floor and fell to his death on the spot. You didn't see that scene at the scene , His white brains are all over the place..." The boss Ge Ci, who did not want to reveal his real name, said so.
Not to mention the cause of Boss Bai's death, Chen Xian still had a good impression of this middle-aged man who always had a polite smile on his face.
It was already past four o'clock in the morning when Chen Xian brought everyone to the barbecue restaurant. As soon as he entered the store, he could see a long queue for taking a number. Roughly, there were at least 50 or 60 customers queuing up.
"Why don't we withdraw?" Lu Yisheng looked at the crowds in the hall, and couldn't help retreating, "When are we going to queue up so many people?"
Chen Xian has long been used to this kind of crowded scene.
"Wait here for me, I'll swipe my face card."
"?"
Before anyone could ask any further questions, Chen Xian had already silently walked into the crowd and went straight to the front desk of the barbecue restaurant.
Sitting at the front desk was a handsome middle-aged man, dressed in plain casual attire. He was not as busy as the front desks of ordinary restaurants, but looked extremely leisurely, gnawing on a handful of melon seeds. , was concentrating on watching the costume comedy played on the tablet...
"Boss Bai."
Hearing someone calling him, Boss Bai raised his head subconsciously.
"Oh, a rare guest!" Boss Bai had an earnest smile on his face, he didn't dare to neglect a rare guest like Chen Xian, "Brother Chen, what brought you here!"
Hearing this, Chen Xian smiled a little embarrassedly, and then asked a question in a low voice.
"Brother Bai, is there any room upstairs?"
"Other people come to ask, there must be no, but you come to ask... there must be." Boss Bai smiled, walked out from behind the counter in a few steps, put his hand on Chen Xian's shoulder affectionately, like two brothers A good look, "Don't call my boss so stupid, call me Brother Bai, or you can call me Laobai like everyone else."
From head to toe, Boss Bai exudes a quack air, and his words are full of chic, magnanimous and informal taste.
Under his eager greeting, Chen Xian went back to call the crowd, and followed Boss Bai to the rooftop.
The roof of the shop is a small open-air square. Compared with the magnificent decoration downstairs, it seems to be much simpler here. Many places are piled with wooden boxes for loading goods, which looks like a roof used as a warehouse.
There was a set of old wooden tables and chairs in the east corner. Since the wooden floor was very old, when Boss Bai led the crowd to the dining table, he could hear the creaking sound all the way.
"Let's eat here?" Lu Yisheng looked around a few times, curious in his heart, although this place looks shabby compared to the hall, but if you look carefully, you can find that it is often cleaned, even the old tables and chairs are cleaned. It was polished so brightly that it almost kept up with the patina.
"This is the only V.IP seat in this store." Boss Bai showed a weird smile, and looked at Chen Xian and blinked, "Still the old rules?"
Chen Xian nodded and said: "The old rules, but double the quantity, if not enough, order again later."
"Sure, then I'll go to the back kitchen first."
As soon as the words fell, Boss Bai went downstairs vigorously.
As the roof door closed, Chen Xian stood on the edge of the roof and took a deep breath. For a moment, he felt back to the time when he first came to this store a few years ago.
He was the same as Lu Yisheng at the beginning.
Seeing the crowds of people in the store, he immediately decided to turn around and go back. After all, what he likes most is silence, and he instinctively rejects noisy places, but then Boss Bai took him to the rooftop.
According to Boss Bai, this place is his private place, so quiet that you can't hear the noise, and standing on the edge of the roof, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Yin City, and you can see at a glance the unique prosperity that only belongs to this underground city.
"You used to sit here to eat barbecue, and you always sat in this seat?"
Xu Yanan walked to Chen Xian's side calmly, and leaned gently on the roof to enjoy the night view of Yinshi. Excitement flashed in his bright eyes from time to time, and there was always an unconcealable smile on the corner of his mouth.
To be honest, Xu Yanan was really happy today, even happier than the optimist Lu Yisheng who was happy in everything. She couldn't remember how many years she hadn't been like this...
"You don't look like you." Chen Xian said suddenly, he seemed to see something in Xu Yanan's happy eyes, it was an emotion that he was very familiar with, "It's not the same as what I remembered."
"Why is it different?" Xu Yanan turned her head and glanced at him, with a nice smile still on her face.
"I don't know, maybe I'm thinking too much..." Chen Xian shook his head, speaking in a very soft voice, "Seeing you is like seeing me a few years ago... It seems a little closed..."
"Don't talk if you can't talk!" Xu Yanan snorted, and turned to look at the people sitting at the dining table.
Mu He sat at the dining table, holding a pair of clean chopsticks in his small hands, his eyes were fixed on the direction of the rooftop door from beginning to end, obviously waiting for the person who delivered the food to come up, completely starving and impatient.
Both Lu Yisheng and Mr. Skeleton sat in the corner. They didn't seem so greedy, like children who just got their favorite toys, playing with the presents Chen Xian gave them with smirks on their faces, completely immersed in their respective lives. world.
"Actually, I am very happy to be with you."
Hearing Xu Yanan's sudden words, Chen Xian couldn't help but look back at her.
"It feels like I'm not like me anymore."
Xu Yanan looked at Chen Xian with both smiles, as if he had suddenly returned to the seventeenth or eighteenth years, the smile on his face inexplicably revealed a trace of the uniqueness of youth, completely looking like an old lady is a cute little fairy, talking The tone of voice can't help but rise naturally.
"I haven't been this happy for a long time!"
"Are you usually unhappy?" Chen Xian looked at this heavenly girl in confusion, a little confused.
Xu Yanan, the eldest lady of the Xu family, the future head of the Xu family, wants money, power and power. She has a happy family since she was a child, and has been enshrined by the old lady of the Xu family as a jewel in her palm since she was a child...
It's an exaggeration to say that she has reached a height that 99% of the foreign people in the country can't reach, and she has everything that thousands of foreign people dream of and want to pursue all their lives... Obviously there are so many things , why is she unhappy
"Do you think that a person like me should be happy every day?" Xu Yanan asked back.
Chen Xian hummed, with a very serious expression: "Isn't it?"
Hearing this, Xu Yanan looked up at the fake moon hanging high in the sky. Under the bright moonlight, the smile on her face did not diminish, but she became a little relieved.
"Actually, the life of being treated as a tool is not easy. This kind of life is really..."
Xu Yanan lowered her head, looked at Chen Xian and smiled again.
"It's really not happy."
