Songxi took the rag and wiped the wine stains on the counter. Wiping, suddenly throwing away the rag, squatting in the corner of the bar: "I'm a useless person, I can't do anything well."
Ye Fei shook him for a long time, and Song Xi kept his head in his arms. She sighed, like coaxing a child: "Well, this is your lesson. Maybe you did mess up a lot of things, but it doesn’t mean there is no chance to fix it. Just like your arm, If it is corrected to its original position, it will gradually get better. The key is that you make up your mind to correct it. Okay?"
Song Xi did not speak, but nodded dullly.
Ye Fei thought for a while, pushed the door and walked to Joy's not far away. After the peak of dinner, there are few customers in the restaurant, and there are two tables on the beach with candles swaying in the glasses. Inda was busy passing food, Wanpeng sat beside the banana tree in front of the door, chatting with local friends, and saw Ye Fei beckoning: "You haven't gone back to rest yet, so why didn't you go to the shop?"
"I'm at the monkey bar."
"Oh, how's Songxi's arm?"
"Fortunately... Uh, not great..." Ye Fei probed, and glanced at Jasmine who was standing behind the counter after settling the accounts. She flipped through the bill in her hand and heard the conversation between the two, and her movements stopped.
Ye Fei stepped forward: "The hospital I went to with him, this somersault fell terribly. I said, this is a lesson he deserves."
"He asked you to come?" Jasmine lowered her eyelids and pursed her lips. "I won't sympathize with him."
"I'm not interceding for him." Ye Fei stroked her shoulders and whispered, "If you want to leave this island, I support. But you still stay here. You know the reasons better than I do, don't do it. Things to regret."
Jasmine turned around, her face tensed, and she couldn't speak anymore.
Ye Fei also stopped persuading, depressed in his heart, and walked back to Monkey Bar gloomily. In the ten minutes after she left, Songxi had already drunk a few glasses of cheap rum, lying on the wooden table alone, still holding a half-full bottle in his hand.
"The boss is right. Close the door early and go home early!" Ye Fei took out the broom to clean the store, and pointed at Songxi, "Don't think about it, take a good rest, and I will buy you a portion of pork feet noodles tomorrow to make up your bones. After she was busy, she packed up a bag of garbage, opened the door and threw it to the recycling point outside the door.
When she turned around, she saw Jasmine trot over, tears in her eyes. The big Spaniard behind him was chasing him, shouting Jasmine's name.
Ye Fei stepped forward and pulled Jasmine into the bar. Before closing the door, the wooden door was pushed open vigorously, causing Ye Fei's arm to numb, and he took two steps back. Her face sank: "Please see clearly, the shop is closed."
"I'm here to find my girlfriend, not for a drink." The other party is strong, with broad and round shoulders, and looks very fierce.
"Give me a few minutes and let me calm down." Jasmine gritted her teeth and stood towards the corner. Songxi raised her head in disbelief when she heard her voice, her expression surprised and dazed.
"You have broken up with him, why do you want to see him?" The man pointed to Songxi, "He is a beach boy, fooling around. This kind of person is rubbish and does not deserve your sympathy."
"You are a waste!" Song Xi blushed, jumped up from the wooden chair, waved the wine bottle and smashed it over.
Ye Fei stretched out her hand to hold Jasmine, and leaned back subconsciously. The big guy didn't react slowly. He held Songxi's wrist, bent his elbow, and hit Songxi's chest hard. Songxi snorted, took a few steps back, and sat down by the bar.
"Song Xi!" Jasmine shouted and rushed over.
The big guy pulled Jasmine up, clamped her wrist and walked towards the door, no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't shake it off.
Ye Fei stood in front of the door: "Have you asked Jasmine what she thinks? Why should she decide for her!"
The big guy smiled coldly, "I saw you just now. You went to Joy's to speak for that kid? Jasmine would argue with me and insist on coming here." He stretched out his hand to open Ye Fei's way, "Don't get in the way!"
Ye Fei was slapped by him, standing unsteadily, kneeling on the edge of the heavy wooden chair, her leg was bent in pain, and she half-kneeled on the ground.
The hunk stretched out his hand impatiently, trying to pull her up. At this time, a cold voice came from the door: "Don't touch her." Before speaking, the man strode to the front, with his arm wrapped around Ye Fei's back, placed under her armpit, and caught her. Up. He is powerful, but his actions are not reckless. With the other hand already supporting the chair, he took Ye Fei along with it, and the arm sank, allowing her to sit firmly on the wooden chair.
A warm breath came from behind, but his body was tense, and his voice was solemn, like a muffled thunder. Ye Fei knew who it was long ago, so he stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to speak.
"Men and men's matters, you should solve it yourself." He said in a cold tone, "First, don't damage the things in the store; second, don't injure my employees."
The big guy still cursed, saying things like "you locals who don't know good or bad", "garbage", and "you all rely on our money to support you". He had to say it again. He only felt that there was a flower in front of him, his left cheek had already been punched hard, his nose was also sore, and his mouth smelled of salty fish.
"You can try to call the police." Chen Jiajun clenched his fists and smiled contemptuously, "I'm sorry, they are also locals."
The big guy wanted to counterattack and swiped a punch, but Chen Jiajun was calm and gently avoided. Although he doesn't have any knotted muscles, he is agile and has tense arms. What's more, behind him, Wanpeng and two friends also pushed the door in, looked at the scene in front of them in surprise, staring at each other, but when they saw the confrontation, they both stepped forward and glared at the big guy.
The big guy turned his head and took a sip, gave Jasmine a fierce look, and walked away.
Wanpeng was still in amazement: "I just said to come to Songxi, just now, what's wrong?"
Chen Jiajun leaned sideways and glanced at Ye Fei condescendingly, with a stern tone: "Let you close the door early, don't listen!"
"It's closed..." She blinked, defending.
He turned to the bar and took a small plastic bucket filled with ice cubes, then pulled out an unknown T-shirt and wrapped it in a large handful of ice cubes. Then he walked to Ye Fei and squatted down and poked her knees. In the middle of the sore spot, she twisted her eyebrows and took a breath.
"I just ran into it, nothing serious, I can't be lame." He said, pressing the ice pack in his hand.
Ye Fei shivered from the cold. Chen Jiajun's forehead is close at hand, and he can reach it with his hand. Her small thigh was exposed, her hand hurriedly slid over her side, and she pulled the skirt corner downward. My knees were trembling cold, but my heart was warm, and my cheeks were even hotter.
She said, "Thank you for coming to the rescue."
"What if I didn't come?" Chen Jiajun snorted and looked up at her, "I dare to provoke anyone!"
"He didn't really want to hit me," Ye Fei was lucky. "I always feel that he still wants to give me a hand."
He sneered and smiled: "I really meet someone who wants to beat you, have you ever beaten you, or can you run away?"
"I'll just walk around in the future..." she whispered, resisting touching his dangling hair, "you know you can beat it?"
"Can't beat it. I'll stand by next time." Chen Jiajun was angry and funny, scowling, "You are not allowed to go back too late in the future, and you are not allowed to walk at night by yourself."
"I remember, you said that there are times when the island is not peaceful." Ye Fei looked at the top of his head, feeling aggrieved and proud.
"Just know." Chen Jiajun pressed the ice pack, "hold it yourself!" He picked up the ice bucket and placed it heavily on the table next to Jasmine and Song Xi, "Handle your own affairs and don't let everyone follow. worry."
Song Xi was supported by Wan Peng, and Jasmine stood by with tears in her eyes and her face pale.
Chen Jiajun glanced at Ye Fei: "Can you still stand up?"
She gave it a try: "Fortunately, it just hurts and doesn't delay walking."
He nodded: "Let's go then."
Several people understood, and left one after another, leaving only Songxi and Jasmine in the store.
Wan Peng returned to Joy's to take Inda from get off work. Ye Fei followed Chen Jiajun's side, walking on the beach caressed by the waves, feeling a little annoyed for a moment. If you just said you couldn't stand up
He suddenly stopped and hooked his finger to Ye Fei: "You stand closer."
She responded, a little embarrassed, and nudged forward two steps with her head down.
Chen Jiajun sniffed and frowned, "I thought it was spilled all over the floor, why are you so alcoholic?"
Ye Fei was a little nervous, fearing that he thought he was germinating, so he quickly explained: "Songxi wants to make a cocktail. I didn't drink it, so I spilled it all on my body."
He was very satisfied with the answer and nodded: "Forgive you for not dare."
Ye Fei admitted: "I think Songxi is too depressed. I want to accompany him, but I don't plan to drink."
"There are too many such things on the island, you can't manage it." Chen Jiajun said lightly, "If you watch too much, you will get used to it."
"Isn't this, I'm not used to it... Moreover, I always feel that there is hope." Ye Fei looked at him, "I don't want them to torture each other."
"But maybe this is what the two of them want?" He sneered. "This is a theater. Everyone who comes here feels that they can live vigorously."
Ye Fei seemed to see another possibility in life, and felt sympathy for the same illness in his heart: "I was thinking, to what extent people's behavior and mentality will be affected by the environment. If I were in their position, what would happen? kind?"
The night was quiet, the stars and moon disappeared behind the clouds, and the sea like ink was reflected in the bottom of her eyes. Chen Jiajun caught a glimpse of her eyes and shook his head: "You will not become Jasmine, nor can you become Songxi."
Ye Fei laughed: "So sure?"
The corner of Chen Jiajun's mouth bends: "I am sure now... I was not sure before. When you first came, weren't you also a drama queen?"
"Then why are you staying on the island?" Ye Fei teased, "To watch the show?"
"Seeing too much, nothing new." He replied lazily, "I'm used to it."
"When I conceived the article, I was thinking why everyone chose islands and what are the characteristics of islands."
Chen Jiajun asked, "What do you think?"
Ye Fei thought for a while: "Lonely overseas, isolated from the world. So free, relaxed, and leisurely. But at the same time, lonely, alienated, and escaping. I'm finished, it's up to you."
Chen Jiajun did not directly answer her question: "You can see what kind of island you have in the way you feel... not just the island, but also the world."
He looks cold, but it is rare to describe his state of mind. Ye Fei raised her heart, as if facing a puzzle, she wanted to know the answer more than anyone else. She asked cautiously: "Then what about you? What kind of island do you see?"
"I saw my shop, and several guys pointed me to eat." He sternly, "I also saw a trouble maker, always waiting for me to take care of the aftermath."
As soon as he turned around, he hid his emotions again.
Ye Fei was speechless for a while, and Chen Jiajun said: "Sir Wang is coming in two days. You will take the time to come to the store tomorrow and familiarize yourself with the process with Meixin."
"You and Meixin... have known each other for many years?" Ye Fei couldn't help asking, "I think she is familiar with everything in the store."
"I was not on the island for two years, so I relied on her for help. However, she is not an employee in the store, so you can't be lazy."
"Oh..." Ye Fei remembered that Qiu Meixin had said that she also had a share in the shop. He hesitated, pretending to be relaxed, and asked half-jokingly, "Then, is she the wife of the future boss?"
Chen Jiajun nodded: "In name, yes."
Ye Fei's heart sank little by little, as if submerged in the quiet and dark deep sea.
Chen Jiajun said slowly: "Because I am not a citizen of my own country, I can own up to 49% of the assets of the dive shop."
Ye Fei nodded, so, nominally want to marry his wife? Thinking about it, there was a bit of bitterness in my heart.
He continued: "The owner of the Qiandian must be a native of the country and own at least 51% of the share. So, nominally, the big boss is not me, but Meixin's fiancé, Lin Daming."
Ye Fei's heart is like a small fish hanging on a hook, and it was thrown to the sky by the long fishing line, "Mei Xin's fiancé?"
"Well, Daming was my classmate in college. The shop belongs to me, but it's under his name."
Ye Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and after two seconds, he became worried for Chen Jiajun again: "Then, register with someone's name, you are not afraid..."
Chen Jiajun laughed: "We have known each other for more than ten years, and the Lin family is a well-known big family." He said the name of a chain supermarket on the corner of the street. "This is just an industry of the Lin family. There are hundreds of stores in the country. There are still two in the capital. A shopping mall. Give him my store, he won’t even ask for it."
Ye Fei relaxed again, and couldn't help laughing at himself, who owns the store, and what are you nervous about? She stood beside Chen Jiajun, her heart like a hydrogen balloon, filled with joy, and wishing to fly. Thinking of the anger he exploded at the big guy, and the nervousness and sternness when he reprimanded himself, they felt very useful. Ye Fei rubbed his cheeks before suffocating the smile on his lips.
He said, the kind of world you see depends on how you feel. As long as there is a firm direction, those unpredictable futures may not have to worry so much.
As Chen Jiajun walked forward, he said: "Bo Mai didn't see you for a day, and asked where you were, saying that he wanted to hear your story."
Ye Fei covered her face, her eyebrows curled up: "Okay, I will think about it, and I will tell her next time."
Chen Jiajun looked back and saw that she had been rubbing her cheeks, her brows frowned: "Has her face been hit too?" He stopped and leaned slightly, his eyes fixed on her face.
Ye Fei covered her mouth, her eyes widened, and she couldn't speak for a while. She was so nervous that she could not breathe smoothly, and she hoped that her gaze at this moment could be longer, or could be closer to him.
Fortunately, the night was heavy, and half of her face was blocked, and the other party could not detect the redness flying on her cheeks. Just a pair of eyes, after the sudden surprise faded, they were black and shiny, as if a few small stars fell into the eyes.
Chen Jiajun wanted to pull her hand away to see if her cheeks were swollen, but she paused when she saw the girl's nervous and shy look. The corners of her eyes raised slightly, and there was an unintelligible smile.
He is not stupid.
He should have known that he was not the only one with dark thoughts in his heart.
However, what should he do
At this moment, there was a rustle running fast from the beach. I saw a tall figure galloping over, and someone trotting down, falling one or two hundred meters away.
Ye Fei knew who it was at the glance of the tall figure and slender limbs.
Jarnes saw her, stopped her footsteps, short of breath: "I just heard that you were fighting at the bar, and you are still injured?"
"It's okay, it's just a knee. The boss and they came in time." Ye Fei explained quickly, taking two steps, "Hey, it doesn't matter."
"Seeing you are still a little lame." Jaynes squatted, "I will carry you back."
Ye Fei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I'm really fine."
"Then I will send you back, too." Jaynes said, "Some people are just very rude. Be careful to trouble you again. I will send you back tonight."
Qiu Meixin, who followed behind, also caught up: "I heard about it too. Let Jaynes send you off, safer."
Ye Fei nodded and glanced at Chen Jiajun, his expression calm and noncommittal. She was disappointed and flat her mouth: "Thank you, then I will go back first, good night."
"Good night, see you tomorrow!" Yanes also bid farewell to Chen Jiajun and Qiu Meixin. He walked on the injured side of Ye Fei and raised his arm to make her a cane. Ye Fei's hand was lightly resting on his arm, and seeing Chen Jiajun's indifferent expression, his originally comfortable mood fell again.
Standing at the intersection of the diving shop and the dormitory, Chen Jiajun turned sideways and glanced at Ye Fei's distant figure.
Qiu Meixin asked beside him: "I heard Wanpeng's friends say that you did it?"
"Ok."
"Are there any injuries?"
He shook his head.
Qiu Meixin sighed softly, and looked in the direction where Ye Fei had left: "Have you noticed that after you finish working, you subconsciously asked where Ye Fei went. Is she really...like Jia Rong?"
