Chapter 439 Birthday Party
At the beginning of the music, Liu Lingmei stood up. From the moment she first arrived at the bar, she felt that Zhao Xiaoyue had robbed Xia Qiu's limelight, and there was no difference between the guests at all. As Xia Qiu's sister group, I must suppress Zhao Xiaoyue's momentum as soon as possible.
She shouted loudly, "Well... Let me introduce myself first!" I have been Xia Qiu's best friend since I was a child. My name is Liu Lingmei. Today is our good friend Xia Qiu's birthday party. We have to ask Xia Qiu to say a few words to us and have a glass of wine, right?
"That's right!" The one-body young people took the lead in agreeing.
"Yes, that's right!"
"Xia Qiu hasn't said anything yet, and all the people have come! Hurry up and say a few words!"
......
"Xiaqiu, say a few words!" Zhao Xiaoyue also followed everyone to make a fuss.
In fact, Zhao Xiaoyue is not malicious. Her personality is that she loves Zhang Luo. In addition, she has been engaged in personnel work for a long time and is used to dealing with people. In addition, she has been with Xia Qiu for two or three years, and she also knows Xia Qiu's personality better. She doesn't like to be in the limelight in everything, and she will be more silent when there are many people, so Zhao Xiaoyue is also out of good intentions.
Xia Qiu saw that the whole table looked at herself, and because the singer just introduced someone's birthday at the beginning, the tables next to him were also looking for who the birthday girl was. As soon as she stood up, she almost became the focus of the whole area.
She tried to sort out her language in her brain, because she hadn't said anything in front of people for a long time, so she couldn't speak. After taking a deep breath, she said, "First of all, thank you for coming to my birthday party, especially Lingmei for coming from Yongchuan!" I'll do it first!"
After Xia Qiu finished speaking, he drank all the champagne in the down.
"That's it?!! Hahaha... Then drink it!" Seeing that everyone seemed to be waiting for Xia Qiu to continue, Zhao Xiaoyue quickly helped Yuanchang and drank the wine in her glass.
After that, everyone here entered the stage of toasting the birthday star Xia Qiu in turn. Although Liu Lingmei and Zhang Ke were helping to block the wine, after rounds of pushing cups and boosting cups, Xia Qiu, who doesn't drink much, can't stand it.
She stood up and said to everyone, "Excuse me, I'll go to the bathroom first!"
Then she left her seat, and Liu Lingmei followed closely and wanted to see her situation.
The band's performance is gradually becoming **, the rhythm of the music is getting stronger and stronger, and the atmosphere is becoming more and more restless. With the increase of guests in the bar, the dance floor in front of the stage is gradually full of people. Xia Qiu and his hands were originally tightly tied with Liu Lingmei, but they were dispersed when they passed the dance floor.
She turned around again. Under the psychedelic light, everyone looked so similar, but she didn't see Liu Lingmei's figure. She stood in place for a while, and from time to time, the opposite sex came over to dance against her. She had to move aside every time, but then other opposite sexes quietly squeezed behind her, making her helpless and didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, a big hand passed through the crowded crowd on the dance floor, grabbed her and took him out. In a slightly weary state, the man left Xia Qiu only his back, and that back was fatal to her**. And the coldness passed from that hand made her think that he must be right.
"Hey, Xiaoqiu!"
Xia Qiu's shoulder was gently patted. Liu Lingmei stood in front of her with a worried face. The person who just pulled her disappeared at some point. Standing side by side with Liu Lingmei are Zhang Ke and Zhao Xiaoyue.
"We thought you had drunk too much and looked for you everywhere! I can't wait to find every compartment in the bathroom. I guess the people inside have collapsed!" Zhao Xiaoyue said like a cannonball.
"I didn't expect that Zhang Ke found you in the end!" Liu Lingmei squeezed her eyes hard at Xia Qiu, and she had a good impression of Zhang Ke. This kind of long-legged handsome man is the best for her appetite. If she hadn't been a married woman, she would have to take this handsome man in her pocket.
"Did Zhang Ke find me?" Xia Qiu listened to each of them finish his words, and he was still at a loss. She was not sure who the hand was just now.
"Who else can it be besides him?" Zhao Xiaoyue asked back.
Zhang Ke giggled, patted Xia Qiu's head and said, "Little girl, don't run around! It's worrying!"
"Aren't you going to the bathroom? Have you gone?" Liu Lingmei suddenly asked.
"No..." Xia Qiu shook his head.
"I'm really convinced of you!" Liu Lingmei grabbed Xia Qiu and said to Zhao Xiaoyue and Zhang Ke, "I'll accompany her to the bathroom. You can go back to your seat first!" I won't lose her again now!"
Compared with the noise outside, the bathroom is too quiet, perhaps because the sound insulation effect is outstanding. When Xia Qiu washed her hands, she looked at her face reflected in the mirror. In the dim light, her makeup looked more delicate, and her small dress also flashed with a soft luster.
"What are you thinking about?" Liu Lingmei came over from behind and asked.
"I'm thinking... Forget it." Xia Qiu wants to stop talking.
"Say it if you have anything. Don't be bored!" Liu Lingmei frowned and urged.
"Is it really Zhang Ke who just brought me out of the dance floor?" Xia Qiu turned to Liu Lingmei and said seriously, "I seem to see Xiao Leng in the library during the day."
"Are you still thinking about him?!! Ten years!!! It's not ten days or ten months. Ten years is nothing for them, but we are different! Wake up!" Liu Lingmei grabbed Xia Qiu's shoulder and shook it gently.
Xia Qiu was speechless about Liu Lingmei's words. She knew that Liu Lingmei was out of concern for herself. Compared with demons, human life is just a flash in the pan. The path connecting the world and the demon world may never be restored, or when it recovers, it has already turned into dust.
When Ouyang Xiao Leng forced the Black meteor to bring her back to the world, the demon world was in a great crisis and was facing destruction at any time. What was the situation later? No one can know. And why does she keep waiting? Even if reason constantly warns himself not to have any illusions, his heart keeps running in a completely different direction, which is in the direction where he is.
Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei returned to their seats together. Obviously, everyone was a little impatient to wait. When they saw her coming back, they said they would be punished for drinking. She knew that she was drunk tonight, and her mood was so complicated and depressed, so she just had a good time.
In a blink of an eye, I don't know how many glasses of wine I drank. I only felt that the whole world was spinning and jumping with the beat played by the band, and she began to integrate into this beat. There were people on the dance floor to dance in the seat, and for a period of time, only Zhang Ke and Xia Qiu were left.
Zhang Ke knew that everyone was creating opportunities for him and Xia Qiu, so he moved to Xia Qiu's side. I always talk to her as my boss at work, but now I don't know how to speak. After a long time, I finally said, "Everyone didn't have a chance to say just now. You are very beautiful today!"
No matter which girl gets the affirmation of her appearance from others, she should be happy from the bottom of her heart. So is Xia Qiu. She raised her cup and said to Zhang Ke, "Thank you!"
"Drink less!" Although Zhang Ke persuaded him, he still raised the cup.
When Liu Lingmei came back, she had become the queen of the whole bar. From time to time, strange men came to toast, and even waiters brought up the wine that they didn't order, saying that it was for Miss Liu.
At this time, a text message suddenly came in Xia Qiu's mobile phone. She quickly opened it, and it was another message from Du He:
"Happy birthday to you, Xia Qiu! You and Lingmei should drink less wine. It's mainly safe! In addition, the recent reaction from the demon world connecting the world is particularly strong!"
Du He's message made Xia Qiu more firm. Whether it was the eyes she saw in the library during the day, or the hand that had just taken her out of the dance floor, it may not be her own illusion, and the time to meet him again may come.
She really wants to leave and show this text message to Liu Lingmei, telling her that her waiting has not been in vain, and everything she has paid is worth it. But when she just looked down at the text message, Liu Lingmei disappeared again. She picked up her mobile phone and decided to find her on the dance floor.
The whole dance floor can really be called shoulder-to-shoulder at this moment. It is impossible to insert a needle at the seam. Xia Qiu tried several times but couldn't squeeze in, and finally had to give up. The result of squeezing around was that she felt a little out of breath. She remembered that the most famous thing in this bar was the terrace, so she planned to go to the terrace to breathe some fresh air.
She remembered that the path leading to the terrace was hidden behind a glass door, in which there were countless golden butterflies. They felt like visitors from another world, preparing to enter the world. She made a few rounds before she finally found the door. When she put her hand on the door and tried to push it away, she felt that her eyes beat unreasonably.
When she came to her senses again, countless butterflies flew directly towards her, so she had to walk through their encirclement. What appeared in front of her was a place that was different from the terrace she remembered. The terrace of the X bar is the same as the interior of the bar. It is European-style, but it is full of Chinese antique.
She guessed, has this place been renovated recently? But how did those butterflies explain it just now?
Suddenly, she subconsciously looked at her little dress and found that many golden butterflies had turned into decorations on her dress. Their wings felt very thin, and she didn't know what material they were made of. She walked to the edge of the terrace, and the more she walked, the more dazzling the light became. The light must not belong to the moon.
In the light, there seems to be a figure standing quietly against the railing. Although there is only a back, it makes Xia Qiu have an impulse to get close to him.
