Cross-border surveillance

The sky was getting dark, and Liu Haochen sent a message to remind them. Tao An and the two stopped wandering and left the park to take a taxi to the agreed place.

When they got in the car, the two of them sat in the back seat in perfect harmony, getting closer and closer to each other.

On the way, Tao An received a call. It was from Uncle Tao from his hometown.

"Hi, Third Uncle," Tao An said with a smile after answering the phone, and Jiang Jinyu also ended the chat with him in time.

Uncle Tao on the other end of the phone said: "Xiao An, the main body of your house has been completed, the water and electricity have been installed, and then there is the decoration. You said you don't need to outsource it to a decoration company, so I will help you look at the materials. , it’s a bit expensive according to your requirements, and I can’t make up my mind for the moment, so do you want to come back and have a look?”

In response, Tao An thought for a while and replied: "Uncle Third, I don't know much about materials, so you should help me check it. There is no need to go back. If you think it is appropriate, just take a photo of the sample and send it to Let me see, I don’t have a big problem here.”

"That's it, okay then", Third Uncle Tao muttered, and then said speechlessly: "You young people, you are not reliable at all in doing things, such as repairing and building houses, you don't care at all about such a big thing. , What if someone gets cheated? That’s not a matter of hundreds or thousands of dollars."

"If you can't write two characters of Tao in one stroke, why don't I still believe you, Third Uncle?" Tao An said with a smile.

It's not that he really doesn't care about the house in his hometown. The main reason is that after talking with Uncle Tao during this period, he realized that he didn't understand everything at all. If he did it himself, it would only add trouble to the house, not to mention the price. I don't know how much I'm going to get ripped off, so I just leave it to Uncle Tao to take full responsibility and just pay the money myself.

For example, when the water and electricity came in, the two parties had already communicated about the models of water pipes, faucets, cable sockets, etc. When Uncle Tao went to contact the store, he started a video. The seller said how good a certain model was, and how much he said. Tao An thought it was appropriate to make money at a loss or make a profit. However, Uncle Tao wanted to shop around and bought a better one with less money. How could Tao An intervene?

Therefore, it is better to leave the professional matters to the professionals. Otherwise, you may be taken as the victim and spend a lot more money.

Especially for workers, as a young man like Tao An, if someone is lazy and fooling around, it is probably not easy to say it clearly in many cases, but Uncle Tao will not give him face. I won't take that much into consideration.

Although he was talking about Tao An, his words made Uncle Tao feel very comfortable. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll keep all the invoices and receipts here. If you have any questions at any time, You can ask them all, I didn’t spend any penny wasted.”

"Third Uncle, what are you talking about? I'm sorry to bother you anyway," Tao An said 'not taking it seriously', not denying what Third Uncle Tao did. Some things should be just as they should be, but there is no need to explain them so clearly.

"Okay, I'll hang up first."

"When the time comes, I will invite you to dinner, third uncle. You will be the one helping me during this busy period..."

After the call ended, Tao An wondered how the house in his hometown was doing now. The last time he went back to pick up tools, it was at its peak, and the doors and windows were all gone.

Jiang Jinyu on the side asked curiously, "What's going on?"

"It's like this. I plan to rebuild my old house in my hometown. It's been a while. It's been handed over to an uncle from my hometown. He just called me to discuss the details." Tao An explained briefly. .

It's probably because girls' brain circuits are different. Jiang Jinyu didn't bring his work mentality to the two of them when they got along. When he heard Tao An's words, he felt a little excited for no reason, secretly thinking that this pig couldn't be... Are you preparing the wedding room in advance? Isn't it too early?

Then she asked: "Are you going to move back to your hometown in the future?"

"Absolutely. Once completed, my hometown will be spacious, which will be convenient for me to practice making incense and so on. It will also be quiet," Tao An nodded without hesitation.

Jiang Jinyu nodded and said, feeling a little down for no reason.

If he went back to his hometown to live, it would be a bit far away, and it would be inconvenient to go back and forth. Wouldn't that mean that he wouldn't be able to see him often? If you are in the city, you can occasionally find excuses to make appointments to hang out. If he goes back, you can't just ask him to come to the city. It's inconvenient, and you can't just go there directly. ,what should I do.

Sensing that her mood was not right, Tao An asked, "What's wrong with the monitor?"

"It's okay." Jiang Jinyu smiled. It was not convenient to tell Tao An about the little entanglement in his heart. After all, the relationship between the two parties had not reached the point where they could not distinguish between each other.

Not long after, when the lanterns came on, they took a taxi to the agreed place.

That hotpot restaurant is not a high-end consumption place. It is relatively common for ordinary people. With an average per capita consumption of over 100 yuan, you can eat comfortably, and the taste is really good, as long as you don't eat with an open stomach like Tao An did before practicing Qigong.

Liu Haochen and Zhao Shihan arrived here earlier and did not order. They were waiting boredly. It was meal time and the private rooms of the hot pot restaurant were full, so they had to wait at a seat in the lobby.

It is probably because he paid attention to his image after joining the work. Liu Haochen's hairstyle looks a bit old-fashioned, but his appearance is there. It does not lose much points because of his hairstyle. He is also dressed very young and has no mature temperament at all.

On the contrary, Zhao Shihan has obviously dressed up carefully, put on makeup, and changed her hairstyle to dark red gradient waves. She wore a sweatshirt because of the season, making her a complete urban beauty.

"Look, Brother An and the others are here." The sharp-eyed Zhao Shihan looked towards the door and immediately patted Liu Haochen who was playing on his mobile phone next to him.

them? Liu Haochen was stunned for a moment, then looked up, dumbfounded and murmured: "I thought it was just Brother An who was organizing the bureau to relax, but I didn't expect that the squad leader was here, no, are they serious? It seems that only Brother An is here these few times. The local monitors are all here."

"How many times? It was obviously the last time on Brother An's birthday, okay?" Zhao Shihan said in a low voice. It felt a little inexplicable and exciting, just like eating a giant melon.

Liu Haochen looked in disbelief and said: "This is not scientific, nor metaphysics, nor mathematics."

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out that his good friend and the squad leader could actually get together. Maybe it was a little early to say they got together, but if things continued like this, it probably wouldn't be a big problem. But the problem was that the gap between them was too big. It's big, it's not about appearance, but about identity and background.

It's not that he belittles his good buddy, but the probability of a wealthy lady and an ordinary person getting together is as unrealistic as winning the lottery, okay?

"Nothing is impossible in the world. They can get together. Brother An naturally has an outstanding side that we don't know about. Moreover, they were both single before. It's not surprising that they are attracted to each other and come together. Don't you think so? Do you think they are really a good match together?" Zhao Shihan analyzed rationally.

Without worrying so much, Liu Haochen said: "Brother An has been single for so many years and is finally about to get divorced. Moreover, he is such an outstanding girl as the monitor. We should be happy for him. When we get together again in the future, Don’t worry too much about his single mood.”

"It's enough that we know about this. Don't make any noise for the time being. In case it embarrasses everyone, okay, let's not talk about it anymore. They are coming in," Zhao Shihan instructed.

Liu Haochen naturally understood, nodded, stood up and waved: "Brother An, monitor, this way"

Hearing this, Tao An waved his hand and led Jiang Jinyu towards this side. When he got closer, he pulled a chair for Jiang Jinyu and said with a smile, "How long have you been here?"

"Not long after I arrived, the squad leader asked me to sit down. It's a great honor. The waiter took the order," Liu Haochen said with a smile.

Jiang Jinyu also calmed down at this moment and stopped worrying about the inconvenience of Tao An returning to his hometown to meet each other. He said hello generously: "Liu Haochen, Shishi, I haven't seen you for a while. Are you okay?"

"Squad leader, I miss you so much, hurry up and sit down, you must have fun today," Zhao Shihan greeted, picking up the teapot and pouring tea while speaking.

Four people sat at a table facing each other, Liu Haochen and Zhao Shihan on one side, Tao An and Jiang Jinyu on the other. It was natural and no one thought anything was wrong.

During the chat, the waiter came over to take orders. Hot pot, tripe, beef and mutton is a must. He also ordered vegetables and some seafood. Several of us can eat spicy food, but we still ordered a mandarin duck pot.

Several people passed the menu around to each other, and after about a while, Liu Haochen said: "Why don't we warm up the place in advance on the hour?"

"I don't care. Hot pot goes well with beer. What about you?" Tao An had no objection.

Jiang Jinyu nodded and said: "It's all good, but drink less, otherwise you won't be able to eat."

"Okay, waiter, give us two more bottles of beer," Zhao Shihan said to the waiter next to her.

This is just something to eat in advance, the main event is yet to come, just go out and have fun, just have fun.

After ordering, Liu Haochen began to urge Tao An and said: "Brother An, now is the time to show off your skills. Go and get a sauce plate for each of us. We can't adjust the perfect taste for you."

He doesn't show off at all. His friends have always been like this for many years. When eating hot pot, he orders Tao An to cook the sauce.

Tao An didn't mind either, stood up and said, "Okay, you are still hot, right? What about you, monitor?"

"I'm really hot," Jiang Jinyu thought for a while and said, but he didn't say whether he would bother Tao An to do it himself. It would be nice to enjoy the considerateness of his prospective boyfriend.

Nodding, Tao An said: "Okay, it will be done soon, I won't let you down if I keep it."

After Tao An went to make the flavor plate, Liu Haochen said: "Brother An got the real inheritance from Uncle Tao. With the same seasoning, he can create a unique taste. It is simply unscientific and makes us look like trash."

Zhao Shihan didn't think so much, but looked at Jiang Jinyu in surprise: "The squad leader can eat spicy food so much. We are all only moderately spicy, especially if our skin is so well maintained. Do you have any secrets? Teach me."

"There's no secret. Isn't it normal to eat spicy food?" Jiang Jinyu said matter-of-factly. Many people get angry easily when eating spicy food. Anyway, she has never experienced it. She feels that spicy food is more flavorful, even with preserved eggs with cilantro and other ingredients. She doesn’t resist. If others can eat it, why can’t she?

Zhao Shihan is not envious, anyway, she can also eat spicy food, and she quite enjoys it when eating spicy food, but sometimes her husband Liu Haochen has to suffer...

Soon Tao An came back with two plates for four people, one spicy and one with non-spicy sesame sauce. Although they all like spicy food, it’s good to change the flavors occasionally. When he distributed it to them, he asked: "Chat what?"

"They are talking about the causal relationship between spicy food and skin care. I don't understand. It's so delicious," Liu Haochen said when he got the flavor plate.

After sitting down, Tao An nodded and said: "Eating spicy food is a physical problem for everyone. The dishes are coming one after another. Don't be stunned. Start eating."

"Waiting for your reminder, hiss, it feels so good." Liu Haochen had already boiled a piece of fat beef and put it in his mouth, grinning with an expression of enjoyment on his face, showing no signs of offence.

Zhao Shihan glared at him and said, "The monitor is here, please pay attention to your image."

"It doesn't matter, I think this is good, everyone can do whatever they want, otherwise what's the point?" Jiang Jinyu said without hesitation. He was telling the truth. He even burned a piece of his belly, which he subconsciously put on his belly. Inside Tao An's saucepan.

Her move caused Liu Haochen and the others to look over.

Jiang Jinyu's cheeks turned slightly red and he said, "What are you looking at me for?"

She was really just doing it subconsciously. She had rehearsed the situation of picking up food for Tao An in her mind countless times, and now she did it without even thinking about it.

"It's okay, everyone eats, I'll pour the wine." Liu Haochen laughed, feeling shocked and secretly thinking, "Brother, how did you manage to make the monitor so considerate?"

"Thank you, squad leader, you can eat too." Tao An was also a little surprised by Jiang Jinyu's behavior, so he gave her a piece of fish slipper as a courtesy.

Opposite me, Zhao Shihan looked at this and that without leaving a trace. She was surprised that the progress of the two of them seemed to be a bit fast. They might have confirmed their relationship next time. She tilted her head slightly and winked at Liu Haochen, then raised her glass and said: "After such a long time, It’s been a long time since we got together together, come on, let’s go together, it’s half a cup, I still have to keep something in my stomach for something to eat.”

"Yes, yes, let's go one," Liu Haochen toasted instantly. They had known each other for many years and knew what Zhao Shihan meant. He tried his best to stir up the atmosphere and create opportunities for Brother An and the squad leader.

After half a glass of wine, neither Zhao Shihan nor Jiang Jinyu showed any signs of redness in their cheeks. Jiang Jinyu put down the glass and said, "It's easier to drink beer."

"That's right, although I can drink liquor, I still feel a little uncomfortable. Speaking of which, on Brother An's birthday, squad leader, you had a really good drinking capacity. Later, even the rats got drunk but nothing happened to you," Zhao Shihan said sincerely .

Jiang Jinyu smiled and said: "It's okay. I occasionally have social events at work, but I don't drink much. You don't know that the public relations teams of some companies are so huge that they look a bit scary."

"That kind of person specializes in drinking. We can't compare with him," Liu Haochen nodded.

Tao An was eating hot pot and said, "Drinking is good. It's good to have fun once in a while. Just the right amount. Too much is harmful to the body."

‘Does he care about me? In fact, even if I occasionally have entertainment, I almost never drink. I have people below to deal with it. There is no such thing as losing face and letting go of this huge business," Jiang Jinyu said silently in his heart.

A few people were chatting and eating hot pot, and before they knew it, it was past nine o'clock in the evening. Even though everyone drank some beer, they were still half full and in just the right condition to not delay the next activities.

"What's next?" After almost eating, Liu Haochen put down his chopsticks and asked.

Tao An nodded and said: "Okay, let's find a bar and sit down. The main reason is that the squad leader has never been there and wants to see it. What do you think?"

"I'm fine, just be happy." Jiang Jinyu smiled, not wanting Tao An to neglect Liu Haochen and the others because of him.

Liu Haochen said enthusiastically: "That's OK, I haven't been there for a while." He asked the waiter to pay the bill.

Tao An stood up and said, "I'll do it. Don't fight with me. Today it's mine. Next time you come."

Although my brother is not short of money, he has just joined the workforce and has just entered the society. He has little income. Tao An does not want him to spend money, but he will not argue with him next time. No matter how good a friend is, he has a sense of propriety.

"That's okay," Liu Haochen didn't insist.

Jiang Jinyu and Zhao Shihan stood up and said, "Let's go to the bathroom to touch up our makeup."

After they came back from chatting and laughing, Tao An had already paid the bill and was waiting for them. He suggested: "I remember there is a bar not far away. It's quite lively. Let's walk there and relax."

"Okay, it's only a few steps anyway."

Then a few people left the hot pot restaurant and walked toward the bar, in tacit understanding, in pairs, but not too far apart, only two or three meters away.

Jiang Jinyu and Tao An stood back side by side and said with interest: "I have been to private wineries and the like several times before, but I have never been to an ordinary bar. Is it really as smoky as the rumors?"

"How should I put it? What a place like this needs is an atmosphere. It depends on whether you are used to it or not. I can't say what the so-called smoky atmosphere is. We are all human beings. After drinking, it is normal to be in the same mood, dance and scream, and drink too much. Vomiting, smoking and drinking are all normal. The state has strict control, and gambling and drug abuse are almost invisible. Men and women don't get too messy in public, but it's hard to talk about sneaking and the like." , Tao An mused, saying that he was talking about things he had seen occasionally when he went to bars in the past.

What he was talking about was a normal bar, not a bar or a club. Let's not talk about the bar. It is undeniable that some clubs and the like have some bad phenomena, but he has never seen them.

Nodding, Jiang Jinyu asked again: "Are there often fights in bars like the one you mentioned?"

"This kind of thing is inevitable. It's common for people to get into trouble over trivial matters after drinking. I've seen it a few times, but many people are sensible even after drinking, and there are security guards in bars. It really happens. We will not sit idly by and ignore such a phenomenon, and if it gets serious, we can call the police at any time. Under the current social system, there are very few situations where people are beaten to death at every turn. Although it often happens online, it is scattered across the country. No one can experience this once in a lifetime," Tao An said with a smile.

Jiang Jinyu said with relief: "Well, after hearing what you said, I think it's quite normal. We are all ordinary people, having normal entertainment and relaxation, and the bars are not all filled with monsters and monsters."

"It's not as serious as you said," Tao An shook his head and smiled.

Liu Haochen and Zhao Shihan in front were whispering, and occasionally looking back, they both had aunty smiles on their faces.

"Looking at how close Brother An is to the squad leader, I don't know how far it has progressed."

"You care about him so much. We can't interfere in this kind of thing randomly. It would be bad if it doesn't help."

"Well, that's right, let it be. If they keep going like this, it will be a matter of time before they achieve success. If Brother An can win a beautiful woman, he will be something that others will not envy. When the time comes, he will have to be killed..."

After walking for more than ten minutes, they arrived at the downstairs of the bar. The soundproofing of this place was very good, and there was no sound at all outside in the city center, especially since it was already ten o'clock in the evening, when the bar was busiest.

Taking the elevator upstairs, outside the bar door, I could already hear the deafening sound inside, especially when the speakers were turned up to full volume, the air seemed to be trembling slightly.

Someone was helped away after drinking too much. He was drunk. Seeing such a scene, Jiang Jinyu just glanced at it, but he didn't show any expression of disgust. He was more curious.

There were many security guards waiting outside the door. Immediately upon their arrival, a waiter came to greet them and asked if they had reserved a table and whether there would be drinks or something.

Tao An said: "We don't have a reservation, please give us a booth."

In a place like a bar, it is impossible to be quiet. The booths only have a better view and privacy. However, the security guards will pay more attention to the booths to prevent other guests from causing trouble while drinking. This phenomenon rarely happens. Everyone is here to have fun, not to cause trouble.

"Okay sir, the minimum consumption in our booth is 1,880, and we will give you two free drinks and a fruit plate and snacks, what do you think?", the waiter nodded.

They just came to an ordinary bar, and their consumption was not that exaggerated. It was normal for the low consumption of the booth to be less than 2,000 yuan. After all, they were not here to show off. Tao An said: "That's it, arrange a booth for us. When it’s not enough, we’ll add more.”

"Okay, sir, please follow me." The waiter asked and led the way. People still have professional ethics. Not to mention Jiang Jinyu, Zhao Shihan is one of the most beautiful beauties in the world. They didn't stare at her. It's normal. There are some if you look at it.

I have to say that Jiang Jinyu is really the most beautiful girl this bar owner has ever seen, no one!

If such a beautiful woman could come often, I'm afraid the bar's business would be overflowing from now on, and she would be able to provide free food and drinks with a commission. It's a pity that if you think about it, she's not a little girl who is short of money and has no experience in the world.

In such an occasion, never underestimate the terrifying popularity a beautiful woman can bring.

Then, under the guidance of the waiter, Tao An and the others passed the security check, passed through two soundproof doors, and then truly stepped into the bar lobby. The deafening sound was almost rushing towards them. The dim environment, flashing lights, shouts and roars, The smoke was so thick that it could be called a chaotic dance of demons.

Tao An and the others were fine. Jiang Jinyu was a little uncomfortable at first, but he didn't feel disgusted. Instead, he looked around with interest. It was too noisy and he couldn't hear what he was saying, so he could only follow the waiter.

When we arrived at the booth, it was relatively close to the stage, and there were VIP seats in front of it. This bar was not high-end, but it had a lot of atmosphere. It stimulated consumption. People drink some wine on such occasions to save face.

After sitting down, the waiter took out the QR code and said: "Please pay first, and the items will be delivered to you soon."

After Tao An scanned the QR code to pay, the waiter left. He turned to Jiang Jinyu, who was looking curiously beside him, and said in a slightly louder voice: "That's how this kind of place is. Those who like to come here just want to enjoy the atmosphere. If the monitor doesn't like it, we can sit down for a while." I'll leave in a moment."

"I think it's not bad. Everyone seems happy," Jiang Jinyu turned around and smiled.

While speaking, she hesitated a little, then took off the windbreaker that she had been wearing tightly and put it aside. Tao An was stunned for a moment.

Under Jiang Jinyu's windbreaker, she wore a black slim-fitting sweater with a round neckline that went all the way to her neck, not revealing anything at all, but her exquisite and convex figure was definitely on display. Then she wore a knee-length denim skirt and a belt. Wearing black silk on her legs, and a pair of black flat-heeled short boots on her feet.

She was sitting with a slim waist, and her tight denim skirt outlined a peach-like full arc. Her rounded legs were covered by the skirt, and only her knees could be seen. Even so, Tao An almost couldn't move away. Eye.

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong?" Jiang Jinyu pursed his lips and waved his hand in front of Tao An's eyes. Isn't it inappropriate? Before going out, I had hesitated to dress up like this. I didn't reveal anything at all, just showing off my figure a little.

Tao An looked away and said: "It's nothing, I was just surprised by the squad leader."

"Is it that exaggerated? I just think this kind of dress is suitable for an occasion like a bar." Jiang Jinyu smiled, feeling a little proud and not hating Tao An's eyes at all. I thought, I can't control you anymore with your sample?

Smiling, Tao An said: "Actually, you don't have to dress up deliberately, just be happy. You see, many people are actually very casual."

"Of course boys are casual. Look at those girls, which one is not pretty?" Jiang Jinyu looked around, thinking that you boys understand what girls are thinking.

Without waiting for Tao An to say anything, Jiang Jinyu said in surprise: "I see that many girls are very young, and they often come to such occasions. Isn't it appropriate for their age?"

"Don't be surprised. Those girls are paid by the bar to attract customers. They don't have to pay and they still get paid. They are all little girls who are inexperienced in the world." Tao An moved slightly closer to Jiang Jin. The fish explained that it was too noisy and she couldn't hear clearly if the voice was low, and there was no need to shout about such things.

Jiang Jinyu was thoughtful about this and did not make too many comments. Everyone has their own choice and is responsible for their own future. At this time, she blushed a little because Tao An came closer and spoke with hot breath on her cheeks. Her heart was beating a little faster, but it wasn't obvious in the dim light.

"Brother An, squad leader, what are you whispering about? The wine has been served. Come on, let's drink first." Liu Haochen shouted while pouring wine.

Tao An and the others raised their glasses together and said, "Come on, everyone will have fun today."

"Haha, do you want to go up and jump around?" Liu Haochen pointed to the stage after a glass of wine.

There are already many men and women dancing happily, the DJ is very good at stirring up the atmosphere, and there are also many young ladies in cool clothes standing in conspicuous places and twisting their bodies to their heart's content. It is really a feast for the eyes.

Tao An shook his head and said: "Forget it, I'm not interested."

Jiang Jinyu waved her hands repeatedly to avoid getting so close to strangers. If it weren't for Tao An, she would not have stepped into such an occasion.

"If you don't want to go, we'll go. Let's go, Shishi, we'll go to the edge and I'll protect you." Liu Haochen smiled and then took Zhao Shihan's hand and went to the stage.

This is a formal occasion. There are security guards around. Just be happy. Things like taking advantage of others by drinking a little bit of wine will almost never happen. Otherwise, the security guards will teach them how to behave. Of course, if you and I agree, That's a different matter.

There were only two people in the booth, Tao An and Jiang Jinyu, who ate a piece of fruit. Jiang Jinyu looked at Liu Haochen on the stage and said with some envy: "They are so in love, I remember they have been together for many years, right?" "

"Well, it started in high school, and it continues to this day. The school knew about the two of them at that time, and even invited their parents to come, but it still couldn't break them up. Now they are about to get engaged, and it is rare for them to be successful. ", Tao An nodded.

As he spoke, he poured half a glass of wine for Jiang Jinyu.

After hearing the words and pondering for a moment, Jiang Jinyu said without leaving any trace: "What about you, how many girlfriends have you had in these years?"

Why did you suddenly mention this issue? Tao An smiled and said, "Do you believe me when I say that I have never talked to any of the monitors?"

"No way, you're not bad looking," Jiang Jinyu said unexpectedly. It was really unexpected. Although she had been paying attention to Tao An silently for these years, she did know that he had never talked about it, but this phenomenon was really a bit incredible. , in the words of many people, is that still complete youth?

Naturally, she didn't want Tao An to fall in love with another girl, but if that happened, it was actually normal. She would still be jealous if she should, and there was no conflict.

Shaking his head, Tao An said: "It's not a matter of looks. There have been many girls who have chased me, but they didn't feel it. If I don't call, it's destined to be fruitless, so I won't delay other girls." "

"Are you quite upright? You don't want anything delivered to your door?" Jiang Jinyu pursed his lips and said happily.

Tao An laughed: "Isn't that a gadfly trick? What about you, monitor?"

Since both sides were 'testing' to get closer, Tao An didn't mind taking action.

"I've been busy studying these years, so I don't have time to think about this." Jiang Jinyu blinked and said in his heart that he was actually thinking about it, but he just wanted to think about a certain pig next to him at this time.

Raising his glass, Tao An said: "Come on, let's have a drink. We are all singles."

"Hmph, you're single," Jiang Jinyu said unhappily, thinking that I was in love with someone, so I wasn't single, but I drank a glass of wine anyway.

At this time, the DJ on the stage suddenly stopped the music and announced in an exaggerated tone that a certain deck player had a set of aces of spades. Everyone applauded.

Then a group of young ladies in cool clothes walked around the bar hall with fluorescent screens and flashing drinks.

When Jiang Jinyu saw this, he immediately asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

"Let's show off. All you need to spend money in a place like this is a card. That set of Ace of Spades costs 18,800. The bar doesn't let him shout. If you drop nearly 20,000, there must be some noise. No,” Tao An explained.

Jiang Jinyu said with great interest: "With less than 20,000 yuan, is it worth the bar to help him show off in such a high-profile manner? How about we also do a show that attracts everyone's attention?"

"No, it's not necessary. It's just a gimmick to get money. In a place like a bar, the drinks are really worthless. Ninety percent of them are fake. Let's not be taken advantage of. And no matter how high-profile, who will know him later? Who is it?" Tao An shook his head and quickly stopped.

It’s not that I can’t afford the money, it’s that I really don’t need to be the wronged person.

Nodding, Jiang Jinyu said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

In fact, she wouldn't mind if Tao An wanted to be in the limelight. It didn't matter whether he had money or not, as long as he was happy.

"What are you talking about? I didn't even drink much wine. Isn't that just a waste?" Liu Haochen and his wife, who had been dancing for a while, came back and said. Nothing bloody happened, but they were in high spirits after dancing for a while.

Tao An poured him wine and said, "As for you two, coming here feels like going home. I see how excited you two are."

"I don't come here often. It's rare to have fun and relax." Zhao Shihan said sheepishly.

Liu Haochen smiled and said: "Come on, come on, let's shake the dice and compare the big and small, and the loser will drink. Shishi and I will take the side, and what about you guys? We have already spent money on the wine. It is a waste if we don't drink."

"Come on, come on, who is afraid of whom?" Tao An picked up the cup and shook it loudly.

Jiang Jinyu said, "What should I do if I don't know how?"

"It doesn't matter, Brother An and Mo Zi Yao, we can drink when we need to. What do you think, monitor?" Zhao Shihan said enthusiastically, trying to create opportunities for the two of them.

Jiang Jinyu was quite interested in something he had never tried before, so he immediately nodded and agreed.

So the 'battle' began. Before I knew it, the two bottles of beer given by the booth were almost finished. The enemy and us were almost evenly matched, and there was no situation where one side drank all the time.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the bar became more and more enthusiastic. With the flashing lights, surging dance music, and the girls in the atmosphere group swaying to their heart's content, they really got carried away. It was easy to be infected by the atmosphere when they were there.

During this period, there were dozens of high consumption situations, and the fluorescent screen almost never stopped.

After more than an hour, Tao An and the others were enjoying themselves anyway, and no one came to make trouble for them. It didn't happen that they came over to strike up a conversation after drinking some wine and seeing Jiang Jinyu and the others being pretty. Again, people are We are here to have fun, not to cause trouble.

"We're almost done drinking, how about we order some more?" Liu Haochen suggested in the noisy atmosphere, looking at the few bottles of wine left on the table, and even punched his throat while speaking.

Each of them drank a lot, but it was beer after all. They were not drunk enough, but they were a little bloated. They also went to the toilet several times.

Tao An shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's not necessary, it's not early, let's finish the wine on the table and then break up. No more shaking dice, let's sit down and chat."

"Okay." Liu Haochen had no objection. He was not a bad drinker, so just be happy.

So they stopped playing dice and slowly drank the remaining wine and chatted.

Not long after, a burst of noise suddenly came from behind them, and the sound drowned out the DJ dance music, causing everyone in the bar to look in that direction.

Liu Haochen stood up and looked in that direction and said in surprise: "Two tables next to each other were having sex. There were seven or eight people on both sides. It seemed that someone looked at the other girl too much. In the words of the Northeast, it means you are worried. What, then he started to fight, and the beating was quite fierce, and the security guard went up to stop him."

They could already hear the clattering sound over there, and even Jiang Jinyu couldn't help but get up and take a look.

Tao An glanced at it and stopped paying attention. It was just drinking and causing trouble. There was nothing to make a fuss about. As long as it didn't concern him, life and death were none of his business.

There was a lot of commotion there, and I couldn't stop it. I looked like I was going to go shopping. However, after a while of commotion, I was dragged out of the bar by the security guard. I didn't want to give up.

It's probably because both parties were angry, drank, and didn't care so much. They just used whatever they could find, threw bottles and fruit plates, and made a fuss.

"Be careful!" Liu Haochen, who was watching the excitement, suddenly looked behind Tao An and reminded him anxiously. Under the dazzling light, he saw a wine bottle flying straight in this direction, and he was so scared that he almost woke up.

Upon hearing this, Tao An immediately turned around, quickly grabbed the flying wine bottle, and caught it firmly. He frowned slightly and said to Jiang Jinyu, who was a little frightened next to him: "Squad leader, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Tao An, are you injured?" Jiang Jinyu responded and shook his head, then became nervous and looked at Tao An's hand holding the wine bottle.

Shaking his head, Tao An put the bottle down and said, "I picked it up quickly. It's okay. If you don't believe it, you can see that something like this happened and almost accidentally hurt us. Although we didn't cause trouble, we still need to find an explanation from the bar." "

"I hope you're okay. You scared me to death just now." Jiang Jinyu subconsciously grabbed Tao An's hand and looked at it. Although he was relieved, he was still a little worried.

Liu Haochen also said with a serious face: "Yes, we are not making trouble, but this matter does need an explanation. There is no need for us to swallow our anger. Drinking here is originally a happy thing. Come with a bottle, if Brother An hadn't continued , if it falls on your head, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Tao An looked at Jiang Jinyu nervously holding his hand and looking at him, and thought that although it was a sudden accident, it was actually not a bad thing?

The last time they held hands at the auction house, they were separated at the touch of a hand. Now Jiang Jinyu is holding on tightly. When their hands touch each other, Tao An feels an electric shock. This is the first time he has held Jiang Jinyu's hand in a real sense. Hands, even though this is not a normal hand holding.

"Are you really okay? The wine bottle flew from far away and you caught it directly. What if you are injured? Should we go to the hospital?" Jiang Jinyu was still worried, but when he looked up he saw Tao An He stared at the contact between the hands of both parties, and immediately rolled his eyes in annoyance and said: "What are you thinking about? When did this happen?"

But she didn't let go immediately. Instead, she made sure again before letting go, and her heartbeat accelerated a little.

Tao An was a little unfinished, and even felt a little disappointed after letting go. It would have been better if he had kept holding him.

Zhao Shihan hesitated to speak. Should I say something at this time?

At this time, a manager of the bar came here and said with a worried look on his face: "I'm sorry for the guests, but something happened. A bottle flew over just now. Are you okay?"

Liu Haochen was unhappy and said: "What's going on in your bar? All the wine bottles are flying around and coming straight towards us. We are fine for the time being, but you have to give us an explanation, right? Otherwise, who will dare in the future? Come?"

It's not like he's making a fuss and being unyielding. This thing is really scary. It's easy to talk to people no matter what. What if something happens?

"Sorry, sorry, it's because we didn't do our job properly. How about we do this for free? I also saw the gentleman catching the bottle just now. If he needs to go to the hospital for examination, we will also bear the cost. Next time you Next, as long as there are no more than ten people, the drinks are free, what do you think?" The bar manager apologized, keeping a very low profile, and did not do anything to bully customers just because the bar owner had some energy.

What a place like this wants is word-of-mouth and repeat customers. If it can't be handled well once, it may not matter. But after many times, the business will be bad, so it is better to suffer some losses and settle down. Besides, where can others lose? That's a drizzle of money for drinks.

With such an attitude, Liu Haochen had nothing to say. He looked at Tao An in a gentle tone and said, "Brother An, what do you think?"

"Okay, let's do it like this," Tao An muttered. He has such a low profile, so there is no need to be aggressive. After all, the manager who is negotiating is also a part-time worker. If the dispute continues, it will not be beneficial to both parties. It is not a matter of fear of trouble. In fact, It makes no sense, after all, there was no injury or anything like an accident.

And he doesn't want to take advantage of others. This free table is just compensation for being frightened. As for free drinks in the future, he probably won't come again.

The manager immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Thank you for your understanding, guests. I won't disturb you anymore. The money you paid will be returned to you later, and the waiter will give you a free drink card next time. I wish you have a good time." Thank you again for your understanding and hope to visit you next time.”

As he said this, he took two steps back before turning around and leaving.

Being disturbed like this, they lost interest in continuing. Tao An suggested: "How about leaving?"

"Okay, shall we go back to our respective homes next or have a midnight snack?" Liu Haochen nodded and said, not wanting to stay here anymore.

After such an incident happened, the atmosphere in the bar was not affected, but became more lively. I can only say that there are too many people in the world who just watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal. If it doesn't happen to them, it has nothing to do with them. , many people even wish that something like this would happen again, just drink more.

After pondering for a moment, Tao An said: "Let's go out first and talk about it later. The noise will be too big."

Neither of them had any objections, so they each took their things and put on their coats and walked to the door. At the same time, Tao An got a reminder on his phone that the money for the card seats paid for by scanning the QR code had been refunded. As for the free drink card next time, he took it and put it in his pocket. Take it seriously.

After leaving the bar and going to the street outside, the world suddenly became 'quiet'.

Standing on the street, Zhao Shihan looked at her phone and suddenly said: "My mother said she had a cold and asked me to bring her some cold medicine. It's quite serious. I have to go back quickly. If it doesn't work, I have to go to the hospital. I'm sorry. , I guess we can’t have the midnight snack, hurry up and take a taxi, we can’t delay this matter.”

"Ah? Why did my aunt catch a cold when she was fine? What should I do next?" Liu Haochen was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Shihan said angrily: "Do you still want to marry me? My mother is more important. It's not like we won't have the chance to get together next time."

As she said this, she also gave Liu Haochen a slight wink and a kick.

"Auntie's health is important. You go back first. Don't worry about us. Say hello to Auntie for me. I haven't seen her for a while. Bring some fruit over another day," Tao An understood.

Liu Haochen then said belatedly: "Oh oh oh, yes, that's okay, I'm sorry, we'll meet up next time and have fun then."

As he said that, he took out his mobile phone and took a taxi, and then as Tao An and Jiang Jinyu instructed, the two of them took the car and left.

There are some things that everyone understands tacitly, and there is no need to say them so directly.

When Tao An and Jiang Jinyu were left, they didn't mention the sudden departure of Liu Haochen and the others. Instead, Jiang Jinyu said worriedly: "Tao An, you were a little reckless just now. What if you accidentally missed the bottle and smashed it?" What should I do if it hits my head? Have you thought about the consequences?"

She was still a little scared. The lights were dark when she was in the bar, and the consequences of not paying attention were unpredictable.

Tao An said: "Squad leader, don't worry. I'm fine. Have you forgotten that I'm a martial arts practitioner? I'm very skilled. I can catch several bottles, let alone a bottle."

"Why don't you say you are the Fire Cloud Evil God who can catch bullets?" Jiang Jinyu couldn't laugh or cry. As long as nothing happened, he could say anything.

After hearing this, Tao An thought and said: "If you can't catch the bullet now, you may not be able to catch the bullet in the future."

"You're bragging, do you take it seriously?" Jiang Jinyu covered his mouth and smiled.

Nodding, Tao An said, "That's hard to say."

In the future, if my martial arts cultivation is in the Qi Condensation Realm, with the body protected by true Qi, and I can use the Iron Finger Technique taught by Du Qingfeng, I will probably be able to catch some small-caliber bullets, provided that I can keep up with my sight!

It's not far away from that level. With the blessing of Qingjingmu, you can try the cultivation of Qi Condensation Realm in a few months at most.

Not worrying about this, Jiang Jinyu suddenly glared at Tao An and hummed: "Were you very proud just now?"

"What are you so proud of?" Tao Yi said stupidly.

Jiang Jinyu lowered his head and blushed: "Don't think I didn't notice. I was worried about you at the time, and you actually touched my hand. Huh, bad guy."

"No, I just pinched it subconsciously, not on purpose," Tao An said awkwardly.

Turning back slightly, she said, "Is there any difference?"

"The monitor is angry?" Tao An asked cautiously.

Jiang Jinyu immediately stepped forward, without any destination in mind, and said casually, "Ignore you."

Tao An suddenly felt blessed, and he caught up and said, "Squad leader, I feel a little pain in my hand. Please help me take a look."

"Really? Let me see." Jiang Jinyu was immediately 'fooled' and took Tao An's extended hand with concern on his face.

Then Tao An grabbed her little hand and held it in his hand.

His body stiffened for a moment, Jiang Jinyu's cheeks turned slightly red and he tilted his head and said, "Tao An, don't go too far."

"It won't hurt if you hold the squad leader's hand," Tao An said shamelessly.

With him holding his hand, Jiang Jinyu lowered his head and stepped forward: "Then I'll hold your hand for a moment, just a moment."

"Okay", that's what Tao An said, but he had no intention of letting go.

This pig has really come to his senses and has learned to do tricks, which gives him an advantage.

Finally holding hands, waiting for a long time...
