Before we knew it, night had fallen, and the guests had all gone to the bustling old town, leaving the bar quiet again...
Looking at the colorful lights that lit up on the other side of the sea, I began to worry about Yang Sisi...
Dali is as beautiful as a painting during the day, but at night it's a real mess. All sorts of weirdos will try every means to find entertainment and pleasure in the bars. Among them, there may be some with bad intentions. If Yang Sisi hangs out with them, she will definitely not have a good ending.
...
I finally couldn't hold back any longer and said to Taozi, "Call Sisi and see why she hasn't come back yet."
"Just call her yourself, it's not like you don't have her phone number."
"I can't even exchange two sentences with her before she gets impatient... There's no way to communicate with her!"
"You have to show that you care about her, and she won't get impatient."
"Am I not caring enough about her?"
"You have to show it."
"How do you demonstrate something to be considered to have demonstrated it?"
“Sweetie, figure it out yourself… The customer in room 302 is waiting for me to mix him a cocktail and bring it over.”
After Taozi finished speaking, she ignored me. I was a little annoyed. If I made the call, I felt like I was just asking for trouble; but if I didn't call, I was genuinely worried about her.
Caught in a dilemma, I lit a cigarette for myself...
Just as I was finishing my cigarette, my phone vibrated. I quickly picked it up and found it was a message from Dai Qiang: "Brother, I've already met your wife... I have to say, you have such good taste! She's even more elegant in person than in the video."
Are you nervous?
"Extremely nervous!"
"You're probably just too nervous... Good luck."
"What's the meaning?"
"She's a woman who really doesn't like to chat... You'll feel awkward from the beginning to the end."
"She must have felt awkward too, right?"
"Her?...She wouldn't do that. She has the ability to treat everyone as if they're invisible."
"Then I'll just pretend I'm air."
"Your idea of fighting poison with poison is quite good!"
"Haha... By the way, brother, I have a question I want to ask you."
"Just ask."
"You and your sister-in-law are in Shanghai and Dali respectively... Haven't you tried to solve this problem? It's too far apart!"
I lit another cigarette, weighing whether I should take this opportunity of his question to explain things clearly. Although Ye Zhi didn't seem to be very resistant, letting Dai Qiang misunderstand would ultimately be a burden for her, and I also felt very awkward about it.
I finally replied, "Since you've asked me this way... I'll tell you the truth. I only asked Ye Zhi to pretend to be my girlfriend to appease my dad... You better keep your mouth shut and don't give yourself away in front of my parents, okay?"
"Brother...please don't joke like that, okay?...I can't accept it."
"Isn't that how it's always portrayed in urban dramas? What's so hard for you to accept?"
"The difference is too great!"
"Stop talking nonsense... Don't call me 'sister-in-law' randomly anymore."
Dai Qiang sent several tearful emojis in a row and asked, "Then what should I call her?"
"Mr. Ye."
"Sigh... No wonder you were so troubled when I asked you to find me a job in Shanghai. It turns out she's not my real sister-in-law after all!"
After sending that message, I didn't reply to Dai Qiang. My attention was now focused on Yang Sisi, who hadn't returned yet. This was the time when the bar was starting to get noisy, and if I called any later, she might be hooked up with some shady men.
That's exactly what I think. Last time I went out for skewers with Coach Ma and Tie Nan, I saw many such "loose" groups of men and women. I know perfectly well what they do after they finish eating.
