night.
clean it.
The warm light shines on the tabletop of the bar counter, giving the wine glasses on the table a somewhat dreamy feeling.
Sun Wen was sitting in a corner with a cigarette in his mouth, shaking his cup gently, looking at the lights above his head in a daze.
He didn't know why he came here, he just hesitated about renting out, thinking there was no other good place to go, so he came here.
At least it's quiet here.
And this kind of quietness is different from the quietness in a rental house—a rental house is the loneliness of one person, but here is the loneliness of a group of people.
It's better to be with someone than to be alone.
Even if they don't know each other and don't talk to each other, as long as they look up and see the lonely look of others, it's much better than lying on the bed in the rented house.
Sometimes there will be surprises, and multiple people will accompany you to relieve boredom, such as—
"Monkey King?"
The woman who had met once before entered the door and turned her head casually. When she saw Sun Wen's burly figure, she walked straight over and sat next to him.
"No, it's Sun Wen." Sun Wen corrected, "The grandson of the Monkey King, the Wen of a cultural man."
"Oh, almost."
"What's your name?"
"Xu Wei." Xu Wei snapped her fingers, called the waiter to order a glass of wine, and looked at him again, "I thought you would remember me."
"You don't remember me, why should I remember you?"
"At least I remembered Monkey King."
"Because it's easy to remember." Sun Wen raised his head and exhaled a puff of smoke, watched it slowly drift away, and said, "If your name also has Monkey King, I will definitely remember it."
"Hypocrisy." Xu Wei looked at him without blinking, "Is this easy to remember?"
"..."
Sun Wen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing after realizing it, "It's easy to remember, I will remember it this time."
This woman is still so interesting.
"Why are you drinking alone again? Have you lost your relationship again?" Before Xu Wei's drink was served, she propped one arm on the bar, and stretched out the other hand to reflect the light, looking at her nails.
The burgundy nail polish goes well with her crimson dress today.
Such a woman is easy to be impulsive.
"It should be said that last time it was a fake lovelorn, this time it is a real lovelorn."
Sun Wen looked at the blurred reflection in the wine in the glass, with a bitter smile on his face.
It's still too late.
Had it lasted a few more months, the results might have been different.
"Tell me about it?" Xu Wei looked at him with interest, "Is this true or not?"
"It's a long story."
"That's a long story short."
"Last time, I still had a glimmer of hope for reconciliation." Seeing the waiter bring the wine, Sun Wen motioned to her, and seeing her take the wine glass handed over by the waiter, he continued: "Then that glimmer of hope was shattered today. , is really divided, the kind that can’t be undone.”
"Specifically?"
"Didn't you make a long story short?"
"You are too short." Xu Wei smiled and glanced down, "It's really short."
"..."
Sun Wen blew smoke at her, "Can you talk properly?"
"How long have you been drinking?"
"It's been a day."
"Is this enough to drink?"
"This is the second time. I attended a wedding before." Sun Wen tugged at his collar, "Why don't I come to this kind of place in this dress?"
"It's so miserable to have to attend someone else's wedding after being broken in love." Xu Wei chuckled lightly, took a sip from her wine glass, "What did you do, why can't you get it back?"
"What have you done?"
Sun Wen repeated his words, took out another cigarette, lit another, and looked at her through the slowly drifting smoke, "Why don't you analyze it for me? They are also women, help me think about what she is doing. What are you thinking?"
"You need to pay for consulting me about emotional problems." Xu Wei lowered her head and flicked her nails, then looked up at him again, "Are you paying?"
"Then do you want to hear a story?"
"Well... well, it's fine now anyway."
Xu Wei nodded, "Speak."
"Then...forget it, let's start from the beginning." Sun Wen thought for a while, and simply started from the very beginning, "If you are impatient, you can tell me at any time."
People who are broken in love always have a desire to talk, especially with strangers.
As long as they leave the door of this clearing bar, they have no intersection at all, and they can say whatever they want.
"I'm never impatient." Xu Wei shook the wine glass twice, and lightly touched him, "It's time to start."
Sun Wen spoke slowly.
Two people, one talking, one listening.
Sure enough, Xu Wei, as she said, not only did not show any impatience, but instead listened seriously, nodding her head slightly from time to time.
At the end of the story, the wine in Sun Wen's glass had run out. He raised his hand and asked the waiter to have another glass, then looked at Xu Wei, "How is it?"
"I think breaking up is a good thing for you." Xu Wei came to a conclusion after listening to the whole story.
"My friend said the same thing." Sun Wen shrugged.
"So why don't you celebrate?"
"Emotional matters can't be judged by whether it's good or not. I like her, no matter whether it's good or bad."
"It's so stupid." Xu Wei shook her head, "Maybe you should try something else."
"Others?"
"Like me." She smiled charmingly, and lightly touched him with her foot, "Do you want to try?"
Sun Wen looked at her for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "I think you want to try me."
"Indeed, I haven't tried anything like yours."
"how is it like?"
"What do you think?" Xu Wei stroked his arm lightly with her fingers, "I guess you can support me with one hand."
"..."
Sun Wen took a sip of the wine brought by the waiter, and let out a long breath, "I think talking is fine."
He paused, seeing that Xu Wei looked at him without speaking, and continued: "What do you think she is thinking?"
"Dream like a princess."
"Princess dream?"
"I just like to be coaxed and favored by others, but I don't want to give anything. I just want to passively wait for her prince." Xu Wei took a sip of her wine and chuckled, "It's different from the princess disease, this one is even more stupid."
"Am I not coaxing enough?"
"No, you can only coax."
"oh?"
"The prince also has a sword studded with precious stones, an armor inlaid with gold and jade, and the throne at home." Xu Wei's words were soft, but Sun Wen felt a little harsh, "You have nothing."
"..."
"She thought you were not her prince, so she went to find the real prince."
"..."
"I've seen this kind of thing a lot." Xu Wei's tone was casual, "She's not good enough for you."
"What do you do?" Sun Wen asked suddenly.
"Emotional advisor."
"real?"
"real."
"Fortunately, it's not that I'm not good enough for her." Sun Wen grinned, "Then analyze and analyze, how can I get her back?"
"There is a fee for consulting, and it was just a payment for listening to the story."
"How much, I will pay."
"It's off-duty time now, not working." Xu Wei shook the watch on her wrist, "But what about you..." She looked Sun Wen up and down.
"how?"
"You can make an exception and go to my house to give you an in-depth consultation."
