Chapter 39: Husband Checks on Me?
The neon lights are bright and dazzling. This glamorous city is brewing the dreams of many young people.
In a bar with a frontage only about one meter wide, Zhou Qingti and Lin Miao were ordering drinks.
Zhou Qingti looked around the bar and said, "How could you find such a secluded place?"
The lights in the bar were dim, and English songs of jazz and blues were playing, creating a charming atmosphere.
Lin Miao greeted the bartender familiarly and answered her question: "A colleague brought me here."
The bar is on the second floor. The entrance on the first floor is very narrow. If you don't look carefully, you won't even notice there is a bar upstairs.
But this restaurant is doing pretty well, with four tables of customers even on weekday nights.
"Is Xiao Fu coming?" Zhou Qingti was very curious about what he looked like and how he could make Lin Miao take the initiative for so long.
Lin Miao pulled out the bar's ordering app: "Nonsense, would I come if he didn't come?"
She ordered a cocktail with ease and said to Zhou Qingti, "Can I have a lower alcohol content cocktail for you?"
She knew her friend was a newbie, so she ordered a cup of Passion Coast for her.
This cocktail is made with vodka as the base liquor and added with peach liqueur, fresh orange juice, cranberry juice, peach juice and other ingredients. It is very suitable for women who cannot drink much.
Bartender Ali was already very familiar with Lin Miao, and was a little curious to see that she brought a new friend today.
Especially since this new friend was so beautiful, he became even more curious.
"Change your drinking partner?" Ali asked Lin Miao while mixing the cocktail.
"No, I just brought her here to play."
Zhou Qingti rarely comes to the bar and stared at Ali's movements intently.
Seeing the beautiful woman staring at him, Ali unconsciously worked harder.
Soon, a glass of orange-red cocktail was placed in front of Zhou Qingti. She took a sip and found that the taste of alcohol was not strong, which was quite friendly to a newbie like her.
"Ever since the last class reunion, many people have added me on WeChat to ask about you." Lin Miao swiped the screen of her phone, and here comes another one.
"A few people also tried to add me, but I didn't accept them." She was not good at reminiscing about the past, and she had no past to reminisce with them. They had barely chatted during school.
"I passed, but don't worry I won't say anything."
Zhou Qingti still has some trust in Lin Miao.
"Miao Miao." A clear male voice came from behind them. They both turned their heads at the same time.
"Boss Fu, you're finally here." Lin Miao's voice revealed happiness.
Xiao Fu was wearing a leather jacket and overalls, and he did have a handsome face, and he looked handsome in the way that Aquaman looked handsome.
Zhou Qingti noticed that he called Miaomiao and thought that they seemed to know each other well.
Lin Miao introduced the two to each other, "The little cake I brought you last time was from her shop."
Xiao Fu nodded at her: "The dessert is delicious."
He sat next to Lin Miao and chatted with them for a while. Zhou Qingti could feel that Xiao Fu might have a good impression of Lin Miao.
After a while, a table of young men and women called out to him, "Fu Sicheng, why are you so busy with beautiful women and not with us brothers?"
Then there was their booing. Fu Sicheng ignored them and turned to ask Lin Miao, "If you and your friends don't mind, would you like to go over and play together?"
Having fun in the bar does help you make a lot of drinking buddies, so Zhou Qingti agreed for the sake of his good friend's happiness.
Fu Sicheng's friends were all very friendly. Lin Miao had drank with them once before, and this time a beautiful new face came and everyone gathered around Zhou Qingti to talk.
"Is this your first time, beautiful lady?"
"Can the beautiful lady play dice?"
Zhou Qingti had played dice before, but not very well. "I'm not very good at it, and I can't drink much."
A beautiful girl at the same table became interested when she heard this: "That's great, I like playing with people who are not very good at it."
A man next to her laughed at her: "So you're not the worst anymore, right?"
Zhou Qingti couldn't resist their enthusiasm and had to take a set of dice to play with them. Fortunately, she had good luck and hid in the middle to fish in troubled waters in every round, and never lost once.
She also took the time to reply to Lu Yanzhi's message. He asked her if she went to the gym today.
[I didn't go today. I went to the bar with Lin Miao.]
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yanzhi called him via video. Zhou Qingti had no choice but to stand up and go to the side to answer the call.
Lin Miao said to them, "My husband is here to check on me, let's continue." The classmates at the same table were a little surprised that Zhou Qingti was married.
Zhou Qingti clicked the green button, and Lu Yanzhi's handsome face instantly filled the screen.
"What's wrong."
Lu Yanzhi had just returned to the hotel. His so-called wife hadn't sent him any messages all day, so when he asked, he found out she was hanging out at the bar.
He was a little angry while waiting for the video to be connected, but his anger subsided after seeing Zhou Qingti's face.
The words that came out of my mouth became: "Drink less alcohol."
Zhou Qingti nodded: "I only drank a nine-proof cocktail and went back immediately."
She didn't come here to drink, she just came to see the legendary Xiao Fu.
Seeing that the environment behind her was not too noisy and the music was jazz, Lu Yanzhi felt relieved that it was not the club he had imagined.
"Tell me when you get home."
"Okay, is Hainan quite hot?" Zhou Qingti saw that he was still wearing a short-sleeved shirt.
"Yeah, over 20 degrees." Lu Yanzhi paused for a few seconds and then said, "I'll finish my work as soon as possible and go back."
After getting married, he became less and less fond of business trips.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." At this moment, the two of them were like a young couple who missed each other in a long-distance relationship, except that they didn't say the words "I miss you".
"Then I'll hang up first." Zhou Qingti hung up the phone and sat back next to Lin Miao.
Lin Miao leaned close to her ear and said, "Why do I feel like you two are going to turn your fake play into reality?"
Zhou Qingti gently pushed her and said, "Don't talk nonsense. What time are you going to go back?"
Lin Miao looked at her: "Want to go home? It's okay now." She knew that Zhou Qingti didn't like this kind of occasion.
"You won't play for a while?"
Lin Miao whispered in her ear: "What are you playing for? I've already put out the bait, now I'm waiting for the fish to bite."
She has taken the initiative so many times. If Fu Sicheng is really interested in her, he should take the initiative to ask her out once.
"Then let's go."
So Lin Miao approached Fu Sicheng and said, "My friend and I will go back first. You guys can have fun."
Fu Sicheng stood up with them and asked, "Shall I take you there?"
Lin Miao looked at him like a fool: "You've been drinking, haven't you? How can we send you? We've called a designated driver."
Fu Sicheng then remembered that he had just lost two games and had two drinks.
"Then report home that you are safe."
Lin Miao asked her in the car: "What do you think of Xiao Fu? Is there any hope?"
"I think so. I don't know much about his type of guy."
Lin Miao sighed. "This weekend he and I are going to Wanfu Mountain. I hope there won't be any third wheel. It feels like every time we go out together, there's always a large group of people playing together, leaving no chance for us to be alone."
"That's also good. Let's start by being friends." Zhou Qingti was reporting his itinerary to Lu Yanzhi on his phone.
Lin Miao leaned her head on her shoulder: "In this era of fast-food love, there's no way to slow down."
