Chapter 19 Large Shura Scene

# Chapter 19 Large Shura Scene

Thanks to the frontline doctors in the Department of Hematology and the patient's family, Qiao Shuyan was in a bad mood all day. Normally, after the night shift, the unit would let the workers go home to rest during the day, but the Second Provincial Hospital, as a long-established institution, also carried forward the expertise of capitalists - never letting any cattle and horses go easily, vowing to squeeze out the last bit of surplus value from each employee. Therefore, Qiao Shuyan was half dead in the hospital for a day, and at five o'clock, he left the office without stopping for a second.

Even if you are busy at the end of the month, leave it to tomorrow!

In order to comfort his wounded heart, Liang Yu got up early and said that he would treat him to a big dinner in the evening. Qiao Shuyan returned home happily, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and resurrected on the spot full of blood and demons.

Liang Yu was full of sincerity and invited Qiao Shuyan to a restaurant with an average per capita bill of 500-600 yuan. Then, at the end of the dinner, he asked, "Do you want to go for a drink?"

These two glasses of wine have been on the agenda since the New Year, but due to the busy schedule before and after the New Year, and mother Qiao's health problems, they have been delayed until now.

Therefore, Qiao Shuyan, who had originally avoided the word "wine", hesitated for only two seconds at this moment. Thinking that tomorrow was the weekend and he didn't have to go to work, he readily agreed, "Where are we going?"

Liang Yu was a very attentive person. After Qiao Shuyan complained to Liang Yu for the whole morning, most of his grievances from last night were gone. After a big meal in the evening, he also got rid of the remaining unhappiness. His bad mood had disappeared without a trace, so when Liang Yu suggested going for a drink, he agreed.

The saying "It is impolite not to reciprocate" is exactly this truth.

Liang Yu led Qiao Shuyan to a bar that he often went to. It was Qiao Shuyan's first time to such a place. This bar was not as chaotic as he had imagined, nor was there background music that was loud enough to shatter one's eardrums. There was only a man holding a guitar singing on a small stage next to it. His elegant, low, and slightly broken voice slowly flowed out of his mouth, carrying an indescribable sadness, as if every word he uttered carried a story.

There were quite a few people in the bar, but it wasn't too noisy. Young men and women sat in groups of two or three, chatting. Occasionally, laughter could be heard in Qiao Shuyan's ears, making him relax a lot.

The two sat down at the bar, and the bartender greeted them, "Hey, what would you like to drink?"

Liang Yu said, "Same old." Then, he turned to look at Qiao Shuyan. Seeing the bewildered look on his face, he understood. He thought for a moment and said to the bartender, "Give him a glass of 'Metropolitan' and lower the alcohol content."

After saying that, Liang Yu remembered how the other person had drunk a few beers and passed out a few years ago. He hesitated for a moment and added, "Another glass of orange juice."

The bartender was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but quickly responded and turned to mix the cocktails.

As a new customer at the bar, Qiao Shuyan naturally didn't know what "Metropolis" was. He asked in confusion, "What is that?"

"It's a kind of cocktail," Liang Yu explained. "It's not too strong. You should be able to drink it."

Qiao Shuyan did not refuse and said with a smile: "I'm treating you today to fulfill the tuition I promised you before."

Liang Yu heard this and said with a smile: "Then it seems that I have to put freestyle swimming teaching on the agenda as soon as possible, so that I can have free wine every day."

Qiao Shuyan laughed out loud, "I didn't realize you were such a drunkard!"

The two were chatting and laughing when the bartender brought over the prepared drinks.

The cocktail named "Metropolis" was pushed in front of Qiao Shuyan. It turned out to be a bright red liquid, which made Qiao Shuyan somewhat embarrassed. "It feels like this wine is more like a drink for women."

Liang Yu said: "This wine has a lower alcohol content and is indeed more suitable for women. Try it."

Qiao Shuyan heard this and understood that Liang Yu was taking care of his poor alcohol tolerance. He didn't have the habit of forcing himself. He just couldn't drink, and there was no need to feel ashamed of it. So he picked up the glass of brightly colored cocktail and took a sip.

The wine tastes sweet and sour, with a strong fruity flavor. If you taste it carefully, you can taste the flavors of cranberry and lemon, and it seems to have some guava. The taste of wine is not so outstanding here, but after swallowing it, the residual taste of wine in the throat, esophagus and mouth tells Qiao Shuyan that this is indeed a glass of wine.

Qiao Shuyan had never drunk foreign liquor before, this was his first time, and he found it acceptable when he mixed it with fruit juice.

"It tastes good." said Qiao Shuyan.

As he was talking, the bartender brought over the glass of "Old Style" that Liang Yu had ordered. This glass of wine looked more like "wine" than Qiao Shuyan's. It was orange in color, with a large ice ball and an orange peel floating in it, without any decoration.

"What is the name of this cup?" Qiao Shuyan asked curiously.

"Classic." Liang Yu said, "Want to try it?"

"Is it intense?"

"It's OK, a little bitter."

Liang Yu pushed the wine to Qiao Shuyan, who took it and sipped it carefully. Although it was only a little bit, the bitter taste mixed with the taste of strong liquor, mixed with a little sweetness, quickly spread in Qiao Shuyan's mouth, with some ancient accent and a tragic story that made him frown, making him feel emotional and difficult to calm down.

Qiao Shuyan looked at Liang Yu with a puzzled and inquiring look. What kind of person would like to drink such wine? And the other party said "same old", which means he often comes here to order this glass of wine. He and Liang Yu have known each other for less than half a year, and he only thinks that he is a gentleman and polite. He always wears a polite and distant smile to people he doesn't know well, but he can give him just the right amount of care and concern.

This was the first time that Qiao Shuyan was curious and eager to know what Liang Yu’s past was like and what kind of people and things made him who he is now.

The two were silent when they suddenly heard a voice shouting, "Liang Yu?" with a hint of surprise and uncertainty.

Qiao Shuyan couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice. It was a man with a handsome and fair appearance. He looked about the same age as Qiao Shuyan, and at first glance he looked somewhat similar to him, but a closer look revealed that the two had different temperaments. They were both of the same type, tall and thin, with fair and clean faces.

Qiao Shuyan couldn't help but look at Liang Yu again, but found that he was also looking at that person. He was slightly stunned, but soon put on his most common smile on his daily life and greeted him, "Yu Heng, long time no see."

Yu Heng also showed a pure smile and asked, "Long time no see, why are you in City B?" Qiao Shuyan felt that his smile was vaguely sad.

Liang Yu said: "I'm working here now, are you here too?"

Yu Heng shook his head: "No." Then, he paused, a little hesitant, thought for a while, and then continued: "My girlfriend's family is in City B. We are preparing to get married. My parents and I came here, um... to propose marriage." As he spoke, he noticed Qiao Shuyan who was looking at him beside Liang Yu. The smile on his face froze and then disappeared halfway. He frowned slightly: "Who is this?"

Liang Yu glanced at Qiao Shuyan, turned to Yu Heng and said, "This is my friend, Qiao Shuyan." Then he added, "Congratulations."

Inexplicably, Qiao Shuyan heard that Liang Yu's voice was a little different from usual. He looked at him, but found that the other party looked normal, without any abnormality. However, when he retracted his gaze, he saw out of the corner of his eye that the other party's hand was clenched into a fist, trembling slightly, as if he was enduring something, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were slightly protruding.

As if he suddenly got enlightened, Qiao Shuyan suddenly realized that the man in front of him named "Yu Heng" might be Liang Yu's ex-boyfriend. It was also at this moment that Qiao Shuyan suddenly understood the true meaning of the sentence "Liang Yu is gay".

He wanted to smile at Yu Heng, but Liang Yu's reaction made him feel inexplicably distressed, so that he couldn't laugh. He could only smile in an awkward arc, neither a smile nor a smile.

"Hello." Qiao Shuyan said, his voice trembling barely audibly. After that, he couldn't help but pick up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip to calm his suddenly inexplicable mood.

As they were talking, a woman dressed very fashionably came over, took Yu Heng's hand very naturally, and asked, "Honey, why are you here?"

Yu Heng's expression returned to normal after hearing this. He looked at the woman and said, "Well, I met my old classmate."

"My high school classmate, Liang Yu," Yu Heng introduced, "and my girlfriend, Zhou Xiaoxiao."

Liang Yu seemed to have returned to his usual self, showing his signature gentle, polite yet distant smile, and said to Zhou Xiaoxiao: "I heard that you are getting married. Congratulations."

Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled brightly, "Thank you." You can tell that she is very happy, at least at this moment.

"Why haven't I heard that you have such a handsome classmate!" Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at Yu Heng and teased.

Yu Heng looked embarrassed for a moment, not knowing how to explain.

It was Yu Heng who initiated the breakup. He also took the initiative to cut off all contact methods, including WeChat, QQ, mobile phone numbers, and even email. After Liang Yu found that he was blocked by the other party, he was unwilling to give up and persisted for a while, but he was ultimately unable to save the relationship.

Now, ten years have passed, and Liang Yu doesn't know whether he is still in the other party's "little black room". He looks at Yu Heng, whose eyes are wandering, his face is embarrassed, and his hands can't help but grab the seam of his pants... Even after ten years, these little habits of his have not changed; even after ten years, Liang Yu still remembers them clearly.

Although their breakup was very sudden, Liang Yu never had any resentment towards him. If there was any emotion, it was just reluctance or regret. Regret may be the synonym of youth. So, seeing the other party like this again, Liang Yu still couldn't bear it.

He habitually came out to excuse himself: "We haven't seen each other since I went to college. I was abroad a few years ago and we lost contact."

Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled knowingly and joked, "Then hurry up and save his contact information. It's rare to find such a handsome classmate."

Hearing this, Yu Heng looked at Liang Yu even more bewildered.

Liang Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he looked at Yu Heng, his heart ached, and he decided to "see the Buddha off to the west", saying: "My phone is out of battery, how about you write down my phone number first?"

Liang Yu did change his mobile phone number, but when he changed his mobile phone number, he used the new number to send a group message. He did not remove the other party from the group message list when sending the message. I don't know whether the other party saved his number.

Yu Heng didn't nod, nor did he refuse. He just looked straight at Liang Yu, his eyes seemed to have thousands of words. After a long time, he finally spoke, but it was just a short "OK". He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and unlocked it. Liang Yu began to tell him the mobile phone number, but he didn't click on the "phone" icon, but clicked on "contacts" and selected "new contact".

Liang Yu saw this, and all kinds of emotions surged in his heart, but in the end he just said, "Keep in touch."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard another voice: "Liang Yu?"

Several people looked towards the sound, and saw a very delicate man walking towards them. The man was not very tall, but his skin was very white, comparable to Qiao Shuyan. The man's face was as delicate as the male protagonists in those love games, with very long eyelashes. The yellow light shone on his beautiful face, casting a silhouette of his long eyelashes.

This is really a handsome man.

Liang Yu: “…” No matter what others think, at this moment, his heart is as turbulent as the wind and clouds and the galloping of thousands of horses.

He had only dated two people and had two failed love experiences. Now his ex-boyfriend and ex-ex-boyfriend appeared in front of him at the same time, with a "roommate" sitting next to him.

Shura Hell is no more than this!

Although Liang Yu had long been trained to not show his emotions, he could not hold back at this moment. The upward arc of his mouth, which he had been used to doing for a long time, was hit devastatingly at this moment, and he "struck" for a moment. Liang Yu used all his life's concentration to stabilize it, and finally maintained it at that usual arc, but perhaps he used too much force, so it looked a little weird.

"Long time no see." In order to keep smiling, Liang Yu almost squeezed out these four words from between his teeth.

Seeing Liang Yu's reaction, Qiao Shuyan had a sudden thought for the second time that night: Could this also be his ex-boyfriend? Then, he was also shocked by this idea and looked at Liang Yu with a surprised expression that he couldn't fake. After all, Liang Yu's ability to hide his emotions was something Qiao Shuyan didn't have at all.

“What a coincidence!”

When the extremely handsome man came up to her, Qiao Shuyan realized that he was not only good-looking, but also had a baby face that made him look very young. Qiao Shuyan's sunny boyish temperament was already young enough, but in front of his absolute good looks, it seemed a little dull.

Qiao Shuyan suddenly felt inexplicably sad.

He was very unfamiliar with this sour feeling. He didn't know where it came from or why it came. He only knew that he didn't like this feeling because it tortured his heart and made him feel a little sad and painful.

Qiao Shuyan dealt with this sudden feeling by picking up the "Metropolis" in front of him and taking a big bite.

The people present looked at each other, and Liang Yu introduced: "This is my college classmate, Xiao Chu." Then, he introduced several people to Xiao Chu one by one.

Although they knew each other's names, the only person they knew in common was Liang Yu, and Xiao Chu didn't pay attention to anyone other than Liang Yu and Qiao Shuyan. Of course, Xiao Chu had no interest in Yu Heng, who was about to get married, but Xiao Chu couldn't help but look at Qiao Shuyan, who came to the bar with Liang Yu today.

It is obvious that Xiao Chu is an e-person and a social ceiling. He doesn't care about Yu Heng and Zhou Xiaoxiao beside him. He has a clear goal and is focused on chatting with Liang Yu and paying attention to Qiao Shuyan's reaction.

It turned out that Xiao Chu also went to City B to look for a job after the Spring Festival this year, and worked nearby, just one street away from Liang Yu.

"What a coincidence," Xiao Chu smiled with a charming smile, "If I had known you were working here, I would have contacted you earlier."

Liang Yu said: "I was transferred here just last year."

"So we are destined to meet each other," Xiao Chu said, "Where do you live now?"

Qiao Shuyan saw that Xiao Chu had a mole under his right eye. His appearance should be innocent and childish, but under the dim light of the bar, he seemed to be a bit seductive. The look he gave Liang Yu seemed to be filled with expectation or desire, or perhaps admiration? In short, it was a feeling that Qiao Shuyan was not familiar with, but instinctively did not like.

For this reason, he inexplicably wanted to answer the other party's question at this moment, tell him where Liang Yu lived now, and he lived with Liang Yu.

However, his good upbringing made him hold back, he didn't want to interrupt other people's conversations casually. But he was really unhappy, so he picked up the glass of "Metropolis" in front of him and took another big sip.

Liang Yu answered Xiao Chu's question, and Xiao Chu immediately asked, "Do you live alone? Do you need a roommate?"

Liang Yu did not answer the question immediately, but looked at Xiao Chu deeply. The feeling and reaction he had when he first heard Xiao Chu's voice had long disappeared. At this moment, he was extremely calm, and his gaze was so deep that Xiao Chu even wanted to escape. But in fact, after only a few seconds, Liang Yu answered his question: "No, I live with Shuyan." He didn't care if this answer would cause misunderstandings among the people present. As long as Qiao Shuyan didn't explain it at this moment, this answer would bring him the result he wanted.

Sure enough, Yu Heng finally couldn't bear it anymore at this moment. He said goodbye to a few people and pulled Zhou Xiaoxiao away from the bar.

After Liang Yu said goodbye to him, he watched the two of them leave, but in fact, his eyes were almost glued to Yu Heng.

About half a minute later, Liang Yu retracted his gaze. Ten years was enough time for a lot of things to change.

But Xiao Chu did not leave as he wished. Instead, he looked at Qiao Shuyan, put on a smile again, and said, "Oh, you got there first."

Qiao Shuyan just smiled sheepishly and said, "Maybe I'm just lucky."

Xiao Chu still smiled and said, "If you want to move someday, remember to tell me. I will move in and pay double the rent."

Perhaps it was the few sips of cocktails that made Qiao Shuyan more energetic than when he first came to the bar. Hearing this, he said, "I don't pay the rent. No matter how many times you pay, it will still be zero."

Liang Yu, who was standing by, almost laughed out loud when he heard this. Qiao Shuyan would definitely not say this under normal circumstances. He glanced at the wine glass in front of the other person, which was almost empty. He guessed that the other person was about to get drunk.

After hearing this, Xiao Chu looked towards Liang Yu, only to see the most familiar smile on Liang Yu's face. It was his most sincere smile, not the kind of reserved smile that usually kept people away.

"I have some friends over there to greet," Xiao Chu suddenly said, "Excuse me." He stood up and turned to leave, but before leaving, he turned back to look at Liang Yu and said, "Liang Yu, I will contact you again."

Hearing this, Liang Yu stopped smiling and said, "If you need my help, I will do my best."

Xiao Chu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he didn't say anything else and left.

Seeing that everyone had finally left, Qiao Shuyan suddenly asked Liang Yu, "Are those two your ex-boyfriends?"
