Lin Xuerou got out of the car and headed towards the bar.
This is a very ordinary bar, located in the bar street next to the bustling Mong Kok Police Station. Every night, the whole street is bustling with activity.
Although the bar is ordinary, the people nearby, both black and white, know that the proprietress of this bar is not an ordinary person. People from both sides of the aisle gave her more or less face.
Hong Kong is a prosperous and beautiful metropolis. No matter what time of day, there are countless people with dreams in mind. They don’t hesitate to abandon their wives and children, and give up everything in their hometown, but they still want to come to this place and live in a cage house. I dream that I can be like the hunter in the fairy tale, that I can find the legendary Unicorn, get its horn, and use the magic power of the horn to gain eternal happiness.
But in this journey of finding happiness, not everyone will have smooth sailing, and not everyone can withstand the darkness. Maybe they are forced, maybe tempted, maybe the beast called desire, seeking survival, drives them , one after another, falling into the abyss.
Some people say that Hong Kong is as beautiful as the glass forest in the fairy tale where unicorns live. The people who live in this forest worship and long for pure things, and there is no room for dirt in their eyes.
Many people who have changed their minds and come out of prison, when they want to re-enter society, they have experienced countless discrimination, looks down upon, and scorn...
After experiencing the white eyes of this city, most people will be driven back to darkness again. Only a few people can break the prison of fate.
However, Eros gave them another way out. This is one of the reasons why it was opened near the police station, so that those who have been in darkness for a long time can see a glimmer of light that the world has left for them.
At 22:45, Sister Qing came out of the bar. She lit a cigarette, looked at the spark, and did not smoke for a long time.
Suddenly, a gust of cool wind blew, and she faced the wind, gently brushing her dirty black shiny hair, with deep eyes and flaming red lips. She was only wearing a simple and ordinary skirt and bartender outfit with a shirt, but It has become the most beautiful scenery on the entire street.
She looked at the cigarette in her hand and shook it. Just when she was about to take a puff, a pair of big white hands suddenly took the cigarette from her and shouted: "How many times have I told you, no smoking!"
"(Cantonese) Take care of yourself first, drag the oil bottle!" Sister Qing raised her head impatiently and said disdainfully, looking at the person she both loved and hated with her cold white eyes.
Sister Qing took out her wallet as a habit. This time, she simply took out all the money and said coldly: "Get out!"
This stinky bitch!
Xuerou was brewing ten thousand swear words in her heart.
She took the money but didn't want to leave.
"hungry?"
After that, he pushed her in.
"Whatever you want!"
Of course Xuerou is hungry!
He helped Mo Yanyan live happily all night without eating a single bite of food.
Xuerou ordered a veal steak just like last time, but she felt that the taste was different from last time, especially her favorite jam, which was obviously not enough.
She frowned, then added salt to it and ate the soy sauce.
"Miss, how does it taste this time?" Manager Zhang said.
"Didn't you see that I wanted to add salt?" Xuerou said angrily.
"I'm sorry, Miss." Manager Zhang apologized hurriedly: "The new chef doesn't quite understand your taste."
"Where's that Xiao Zhao who helped me cook last time? He has a day off today?" Xuerou said.
Manager Zhang frowned as he listened, Xiao Zhao? Who?
There is only one person named Zhao in the bar, who is the head chef.
Even Manager Zhang didn't know, so Xuerou went into the kitchen and looked for Lao Zhao.
"Master Zhao, where is your son?"
"Miss, who are you talking about? I'm still single." Old Zhao said with a smile.
“It’s the one that cooked for me last time.
Master Zhao thought for a while and finally remembered, "You mean Aye, right?"
Aye?
Xuerou has never heard of this person in the bar.
Just when everyone was confused, the boss's wife, Sister Qing, came.
"Aye is the Xiao Zhao you mentioned. His surname is Ye. Because he mainly learned cooking from Master Zhao and his style is very similar to him, so everyone calls him Xiao Zhao." Sister Qing said.
"Didn't he come to work today?" Xuerou asked.
"Aye no longer works here." Sister Qing said.
"Why? It must be you, the old witch, who exploited him!" Xuerou pouted and said unhappily.
"Didn't he tell you that he was going to sea?" Sister Qing said.
Going to sea?
Now, Xuerou is completely confused? She couldn't understand what her mother was saying at all...
"Don't you guys meet almost every day?" Sister Qing said, "I also asked him to help me give you a birthday gift. What, do you like it?"
"birthday present?"
"It's the ring you wear on your index finger."
Hearing what Sister Qing said, Xuerou suddenly felt enlightened. It was like a lot of things were blown up suddenly.
Stop!
It means...the ring was not given by Ye Siren?
Damn it, this damn monkey is such a scoundrel!
If my mother hadn't told her, would he really have planned to lie to me for the rest of my life?
Ye Siren knows my mother?
Is he still working in the Cupid Bar?
He's not the son of a shipping king, so he doesn't have to worry about food and drink. How can he have a part-time job?
Can he cook?
he. . .
Will he go to sea again? when are we leaving? Why have I never heard him mention it?
"It's really nosy." Xuerou said calmly.
"Minding your own business?" Sister Qing frowned as she listened.
"No, I'm not talking about you. I...I...something happened suddenly, I...leave first!"
After that, Xuerou hurriedly left the bar.
She always felt like Siren was trying to hide something from her, for some reason.
An uneasy feeling spread throughout the body.
She walked through the crowd, took out her mobile phone, and kept sending messages to Siren. She had many questions to ask him and wanted to confirm with him, but he never responded.
Seeing that he didn't reply, I sent a voice message, but he still didn't reply.
A week ago, he was not like this. He would definitely reply to Xuerou within three minutes, no matter how busy he was.
So Xuerou sent another message to his classmates Wen Jian and Lun Jingqing, only to find out that they didn't have Ga Siren's WeChat account or his mobile phone number either.
She sat anxiously on the wooden horse in the children's park and kept making voice calls to Siren, but he didn't answer.
Xuerou had no choice but to send a voice message to Xiaojing.
At this time, it was already around 1:00 in the evening. Xiaojing had been sleeping soundly, but she was suddenly woken up by an emergency call.
"Who is it, so anxious?" She frowned and crawled to the bed with difficulty. When she saw that it was Xuerou who was looking for her, she cursed: "Crazy, it's 1 o'clock, and you still call, don't let anyone Sleeping, right?”
ah! ?
Did I make a typo?
Xuerou heard a rude and unfamiliar voice and subconsciously thought that she had made a wrong call, so she hung up. But she checked again and again and found that it was not a mistake!
She decided to take a shot.
"Hi, hello, senior."
It's a clip sound, a sweet and soft clip sound, yes, it's Xiaojing.
"Senior, why are you calling me so late?" Xiaojing asked gently.
"I wanted to find Ye Siren for something, but I couldn't find him. I had to..."
Why did you ask Siren to call me?
Wouldn't it be better if you just call him?
Xiaojing cursed in her heart.
"Senior sister, it's already past 1 o'clock. Has Brother Ren gone to bed already? He usually gets up early to go to school. At this time, he should be asleep." Xiaojing said.
Xuerou looked at the time and found that it was indeed a bit late.
Moreover, Ye Siren is the first to arrive at school almost every day. He is usually a very disciplined and rigid student. He has to go to school tomorrow and only has a few hours of rest. He should be asleep.
"Sorry to bother you." Xuerou said.
"fine."
After hanging up the phone, Xiaojing looked out the window at the dark sky and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Ren should be at sea now, right?"
Back to a few hours ago, Siren came out of Zhou Guodong's house and hurried back home to pack his luggage.
Siren's home is a public housing allocated by the government to the poor.
Who would have thought that Ye Jingtian, the once rich and wealthy shipping king of the United Nations, would have been declared bankrupt more than half a year ago.
In addition, Siren had to face Jiang Nanmei and injured his former National Youth Silver Band. He lost the lawsuit and paid a lot of money.
Siren's family was already impoverished, and the group was divided among the four major families in Hong Kong. Houses, cars, antiques, everything they could sell was sold.
The last Qu Qiang of the Ye family is their family heirloom, the famous watch "Beauty Under the Moon".
Now, Ye Jingtian is very short of money. He only wants to do one thing, which is to ask Ye Siren to go out on a boat and travel to the sea to earn the first pot of gold as soon as possible in order to make a comeback.
However, when Siren opened the door to his home, what caught his eye was not Father Ye, Sedum.
But it was his uncle who was a soldier, Ye Jinghai.
"Uncle, long time no see!"
Siren saluted him politely.
"You're welcome, my good nephew!" Uncle Ye said, stood up, and touched his head harmoniously.
Uncle Ye deserves to be a soldier. He is full of strength. Even if he is only wearing a very ordinary T-shirt, his strong body looks very good-looking.
He was 186cm tall, and touching 174 Siren's head was like touching a child.
"Long time no see, uncle!"
"Not for a long time!" Uncle Ye laughed.
"It's been more than ten years, isn't it soon?" Siren smiled.
Seeing Siren's friendly smile, his uncle sighed softly and said, "I feel very comforted to see you get rid of the shadow of the past and start a new life."
He said, touching the shackles on Siren's neck.
"How long until I can take it off?"
"After the age of 18, if I haven't committed anything, my criminal record will be cancelled."
"Great!" Uncle Ye said happily.
"It's not good at all..." Siren said cautiously: "I still haven't forgotten what happened that day...I...I..."
"Stop talking, kid, stop talking..." Uncle Ye patted Siren on the shoulder and comforted him.
right,
In fact, the shackles on Siren’s neck,
It was not obtained by losing the lawsuit to Gangnam Mi.
As early as more than ten years ago, this shackles had been holding him captive. It was the same when I was living in mainland China as a child, and it’s the same when I came to Hong Kong.
Siren took out the 30-year-old Tieguanyin tea that his father had treasured for a long time, and brewed a pot of good tea for Uncle Ye. As soon as the water was poured, the aroma of tea immediately overflowed and filled the whole room. Then he took out the dessert he made in the bar from the refrigerator and gave it to Uncle Ye to taste.
"Uncle, I got this water from the spring in the mountain behind the school. Every morning, before dawn, a large group of old people go up the mountain to get water. I know that my dad likes to drink tea, so I have to carry back a little bit every day with great difficulty. , make him tea. Don't report me!" Siren said, then returned to the room and packed his luggage.
"Xiaoren, have you said goodbye to your girlfriend?"
