Chapter 60: Bar Shock
I have never seen Cheng Xiaoyan like this.
The disease turned her from an outgoing, lively and crazy girl into a depressed one.
But now, she was like a completely different person. She begged me, holding my hand tightly, with tears glistening in her eyes.
Drop by drop, it flowed down.
I opened my mouth and wanted to say something, but my throat seemed to be blocked and I couldn't say anything.
I know that her time is really running out...
"Where do you want to go?" It took me a long time to squeeze out these few words.
"Bar." Cheng Xiaoyan had a smile on her face.
I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood.
Where you come from, go back to where you come from.
She just wanted to return to the original starting point...
…
At 10 pm, I asked Liu Fuqiang for leave, hoping that he could take over for a few hours and that I would be back before 1 pm. Liu Fuqiang was obviously a little embarrassed, and he hesitated for a long time before agreeing, asking me to be back early, and he would leave after 1 pm.
I knew Cheng Xiaoyan liked to be in a lively environment, so I called Chen Wei and made an appointment to meet at the hospital entrance.
When I left Building D, I happened to see Lao He coming back from a walk outside. He saw me and Cheng Xiaoyan and asked where we were going. I said, "To the bar." Lao He said, "Is there any alcohol there? If there is alcohol, he will go too."
I was at a loss for words, and asked him, "How come you are a patient, why do you always like to run around?" Lao He was very dissatisfied and said, "Isn't your girlfriend also sick? Why do you still take her around?" I couldn't persuade him, so I had to agree.
After meeting Chen Wei at the hospital entrance, we hailed a taxi and went to a nearby Internet cafe called Shangri-La.
This is the peak time for bars, and for those who like nightlife, now is the beginning of their wonderful life.
The four of us went in and ordered a booth.
There were a lot of people in the bar, the air was filled with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, and the music was turned up to the maximum, almost deafening people's ears. I frowned, not liking this atmosphere very much.
But what surprised me was that Chen Wei and Lao He didn't seem to have any adverse effects. Instead, there was a hint of excitement in their eyes and their bodies swayed with the music. This made me wonder if these two guys usually come to this kind of place often?
In the middle of the dance floor, all kinds of charming girls and handsome men kept twisting their bodies crazily to the deafening disco music; dim flickering lights, turbid smells, decadent nightlife...
Cheng Xiaoyan sat on the sofa, holding her chin, looking at the people on the dance floor with a dazed look, as if she was lost in some memories.
I looked at her and sighed in my heart.
In the past, she was a frequent visitor to the bar, but since she fell ill, this noisy life has completely left her.
Maybe she wanted to come here today just to feel this noisy atmosphere for the last time?
"Hey, isn't this Sister Xiaoyan?"
Two young men in their twenties, with permed hair, wearing earrings and dressed very "trendy", came over with a grin on their faces.
Cheng Xiaoyan glanced at the two young men, frowned, and did not respond.
"Why aren't you talking?" One of the short young men sat down next to Cheng Xiaoyan unceremoniously, hooked her chin with his hand, and said with a lewd smile: "Where have you been for a while? Come, brother will check your body."
“Take your hands off me!”
Cheng Xiaoyan impatiently slapped the boy's hand away.
"Tsk tsk, what's wrong? You wouldn't be so cold to me before." The dwarf young man said with a smile without getting angry.
"This bitch must have hooked up with a wealthy sponsor, that's why she's so arrogant!" another tall young man sneered.
Seeing this, my face suddenly darkened. I walked up to the two young men and said coldly, "I'll give you ten seconds. Get out of here immediately!"
"Fuck, who the hell are you!"
The short young man glared at me and cursed.
"Forget it, Wang Feng, let's go, this guy is not easy to mess with..."
The tall young man pulled the short young man and looked at me with a bit of fear in his eyes.
"No, why are you afraid of him?" the short young man asked puzzledly.
The tall young man whispered something into the short young man's ear, then forcibly pulled him away.
Then I remembered that this tall young man seemed to be one of the gang members who got Cheng Xiaoyan drunk. They wanted to do something bad to the drunk Cheng Xiaoyan. Fortunately, I showed up in time and taught them a lesson. No wonder he was scared when he saw me.
Chen Wei and Lao He came over and asked me what was going on. I waved my hand and said everything was fine.
I was in a good mood, but the arrival of these two flies affected it a little.
It was past eleven o'clock, when the atmosphere in the bar was at its most lively. Cheng Xiaoyan pulled my hand and whispered in my ear, "I want to go to the dance floor. Will you accompany me?"
I scratched my head and said, "But I can't dance."
"It's okay. I'll teach you."
Cheng Xiaoyan excitedly pulled me and walked towards the dance floor.
When she got to the dance floor, she was like a little swallow released from a cage, following the music and completely letting herself go.
At first I was a little reserved, but maybe I drank too much and got drunk, so I started jumping along with the music.
Not long after, Chen Wei and Lao He also joined the dance team.
Lao He is over 60 years old, but he is still wearing an old vest from many years ago and a pair of flip-flops. As soon as he stepped onto the stage, he immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. He is very thick-skinned and doesn't care at all. He twists his hips left and right, and he is so happy.
Flowers are blooming, willows are green, music is loud, I see crazy and crazy dance steps around me, the dazzling lights seem to make me forget the pressure I face in real life, forget the past events that I once remembered deeply, forget the pain that once remained in the depths of my heart...
After dancing for a while, Cheng Xiaoyan felt a little tired, so she squatted on the ground, gasping for breath.
I helped her back to her seat.
She picked up a cocktail, clinked it with mine, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Zhiyong, I'm really happy tonight." Cheng Xiaoyan's face was still flushed with excitement and she had a bright smile on her lips.
"Let's come again when you get better." I said with a smile.
"Okay." She smiled, and seemed to accept this unrealistic lie.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
She stood up and walked to the bathroom.
I drank absentmindedly, occasionally glancing at Cheng Xiaoyan's slim back, and feeling emotional in my heart - it would be great if her illness could get better.
Just as Cheng Xiaoyan walked to the toilet door and was about to go in, my eyes suddenly widened and I almost dropped the wine glass in my hand...
Because, I saw that behind Cheng Xiaoyan, there appeared an old lady wearing dark blue linen clothes!
She hunched over, lowered her head, put her old hands on Cheng Xiaoyan's shoulders, and followed her into the bathroom...
