A single tree does not make a forest

Lin Song went out without taking the elevator, and slowly calmed down his beating heart as he walked down.

Then he waited for the bus at the bus stop diagonally opposite the gate of the community, and within a few minutes he suddenly saw Song Beiqi appearing at the gate of the community in a hurry, waving for a taxi while running.Lin Song couldn't see his expression clearly because he was too far away, but felt that he was very flustered.

He thought of the phone call that interrupted them just now, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

When I saw Song Beiqi again, it was already a month later in early summer.There are no locust trees in the university in the provincial capital, and Lin Song can't realize that he has indeed passed the spring. There are mostly evergreen banyan trees here, and tall but not so hard plane trees.

He hastily edited his graduation project, which has already been sent for external review.He had nothing to do these days, and after sleeping day and night for a few days, he finally suffered from insomnia.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, he unlocked the door and left the student campus, and entered a bar near the north gate of the school.Coincidentally, the name of Qing Bar is the same as Wen Er's bar in Luohua, called "Forest".

As soon as you enter, you can see a group of girls around the bar, chirping happily.

Lin Song buried his head in replying to the message in a lack of interest, while walking over, thinking how handsome the person behind the bar is, how can he be so attractive, the noise will overwhelm the music of "Laputa in the Sky" up.

He knocked on the wooden countertop of the bar, picked up his phone and looked up. The guy behind the bar was good-looking at best, but the guy with his back to the bar was tall and straight, very eye-catching.

Lin Song was stunned, of course he recognized it at a glance, he immediately turned around and wanted to leave, the man was adjusting the wine bottles on the cabinet, but he turned around when he heard the sound of his knocking, a pair of peach blossom eyes were enchanting under the lamp.

Song Beiqi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled again: "Hello, guest, what do you want?"

Lin Song bit the bullet and asked for a glass of tequila, and sat down at a small table in the corner. Not long after, Song Beiqi came over with two glasses of wine. Lin Song nodded, "Thank you."

Song Beiqi smiled and sat down opposite him.Lin Song raised his eyebrows toward the bar: "Take fish at work? Those girls are waiting to see you."

"It's okay." He said, still with that gentle smile on his face.Lin Song glanced at him, and hurriedly turned his gaze away, but this one glance was enough for him to see the tiredness in Song Beiqi's eyes.

After a moment of silence, the two spoke at the same time: "That day..."

"You speak first."

The two looked at each other for a moment, Song Beiqi spoke first, but did not continue the topic of "that day", he asked: "Is the job settled?"

"Well, okay." Lin Song took a sip of wine, waited for the salt to melt on the tip of his tongue before swallowing it, and said slowly, "I work in the product R&D department of a perfume company, but now I can only work as a technician. Let’s start. If you want to enter a research institute, you don’t have enough graduate education and ability, and you don’t have work experience as a fledgling, but at least your major is suitable.”

Song Beiqi was silent for a while: "Just take your time."

"Then you..." Lin Song looked around, "What about returnees, why do you work in a bar?"

Song Beiqi shrugged with a smile: "What returnees? Turtles in the sea? It's not a job, just here to help out temporarily."

Seeing that he didn't really want to talk, Lin Song nodded, and fell silent in a very understanding manner.Little did he know that while someone was preventing him from talking about himself, he was hoping that he could ask again.

After sitting for a while, Song Beiqi drank the wine in his hand and said, "Are you free tomorrow?"

Lin Song gave a suspicious "hmm", his heart beat wildly, and he nodded reservedly.

The words had already come to his lips, Song Beiqi looked at him for two seconds, and then turned a corner: "Tomorrow is the anniversary of the store, discount."

"……Oh."

The next day Lin Song didn't go out on purpose, he stayed in the dormitory and played games all day, and he went to Naqing Bar the next night, but he didn't see anyone from Song Beiqi.

He ordered another glass of tequila, and seeing no one around, he chatted with the boy behind the bar, and after knowing that everyone called him Akai, he asked, "Hey, it seems that you are not the only one here two days ago?"

Akai looked at him with eyes that see through everything, and smiled: "You mean Brother Bei Qi, right? I remember you, he chatted with you for a long time the day before yesterday, and the girls who came to see him were jealous."

Lin Song choked for a moment, and Akai leaned over, with an expression on his face: "What's the relationship between you two?"

"Kids, don't gossip like this, okay?" Lin Song rolled his eyes not so obviously.

"Look at you, you're only a few years older than me. Why are you so clingy?" Akai wiped his wine glass and muttered, "I'm used to it. During the three months that Brother Beiqi has been here, not only girls but also There are boys who came to him. I think there are no less than five of them. But you shouldn’t be the type to chase him, right? Although I’m a little suspicious, I can see that if he had plans for him, he would have avoided him long ago. It's far away, but he doesn't hide from you, and he seems to like talking to you very much. Except for sister Yang Xu, I haven't seen him say a few words to anyone. "

This kid is really not suitable for keeping secrets.

Lin Song's eyes darkened when he heard the word "Yang Xu", "I'm an old classmate with him, and we haven't seen each other for a long time, so I said a few more words when we saw him that day."

The obedient person nodded, unable to tell whether he believed it or not: "That's it."

After a while, Lin Song asked again, "Yang Xu?"

Akai's eyes brightened: "Yes, she is a beautiful woman who often comes to see Brother Bei Qi! But I think she is unrequited love. Although Brother Bei Qi talks a lot to her, his attitude is still a bit evasive."

Lin Song smiled and moved closer to him: "Boy, are you observing so carefully? Do you like Yang Xu?"

Akai put the cup on the bar with a bang: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Just kidding, why worry?" Lin Song said leisurely, "You said he's been here for three months? Do you know where he was before?"

Akai shook his head: "I don't know, I only know that he is abroad. He is a good friend of our boss. He said he only came to help look after the store, and he will leave soon."

After he finished speaking, he sighed to himself, and Lin Song frowned: "Why are you sighing?"

"I told you, don't tell anyone else."

Lin Song looked at the serious face of the boy in front of him, amused in his heart, but still raised three fingers to the ceiling, and said solemnly: "I promise not to say anything."

Akai lowered his voice and came over: "I overheard the boss talking to his friends, saying that Brother Bei Qi's mother was ill and felt that she would not live long, and that she wanted to die in her hometown, so Brother Bei Qi accompanied her." I'm back, so maybe Brother Bei Qi will have to leave sooner or later."

Lin Song stared at him blankly, remembering the tiredness in Song Beiqi's eyes, before he could speak, a voice suddenly came from beside him: "Lin Song?"

Akai quickly stepped back, and showed a bright smile to Song Beiqi: "Brother Beiqi is here! I thought you wouldn't be here today."

Song Beiqi smiled: "The matter over there is settled, is it time for you to get off work? Come back soon."

Akai nodded and started to pack his things. Lin Song looked straight at Song Beiqi, but the latter didn't seem to care about his gaze, and went behind the bar to do his own thing.

Lin Song felt that he was bored, so he finished his drink beside him and said "Let's go". Song Beiqi said "Hmm" and said to his back, "Slow down on the road."

After that day, Lin Song never went to the "forest" again. Instead, he saw Song Beiqi at school every now and then. Song Beiqi will pop up everywhere.

But they still didn't keep contact information with each other, and they didn't communicate too much. Every time, they seemed to meet each other in a hurry, nodding and passing by.

Lin Song felt that he was going to be driven crazy.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the date of the final defense, and everything went smoothly, but he was still criticized by his strict mentor, because Lin Song hadn't finished correcting the loopholes he pointed out, but it was completed without any risk.

On Lin Song's birthday, it was the graduate graduation ceremony of the Provincial University.

Under the recommendation of his tutor, his graduation project took the title of an excellent graduation project. As a student representative, the headmaster picked the fringe.

It is also an honor, the first and last honor he has received since he was in the provincial university for seven years.

When he stood on the stage and took a photo with the principal, he looked up and saw a tall and straight black figure standing on the second floor of the auditorium, standing casually, which became a landscape.

After a long distance, Lin Song still felt that there seemed to be light in his eyes.

As soon as he got off the stage, he went up to the second floor, but he didn't see Song Beiqi after looking around.

The moment he went downstairs and sat back in his seat, Lin Song decided to have a showdown with him, tonight.

Whether it is true or false, whether it is deep or shallow, he has to ask to understand.

After the graduation ceremony, there was a teacher appreciation banquet. Lin Song was already three points drunk. After the banquet, he politely declined the invitation from his classmates. He spent a while blowing the wind by the school river by himself, and then went to the "forest".

When I entered the door, I saw a girl leaning against the bar, with big wavy curly hair, and a delicate and soft profile.Lin Song took a breath, turned around and wanted to leave, Akai came in from behind him: "Huh? Brother Bei Qi's old classmate? He's here today, why don't you go in?"

The two pairs of eyes on the other side of the bar looked over at the same time, and Lin Song couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

He forced out a smile, and when he laughed, he realized that it was not difficult. He looked at Yang Xu and said, "Yang Xu, long time no see."

Yang Xu also smiled: "Ah Song, long time no see, how are you doing? I heard from Bei Qi that you graduated?"

"Yeah." He didn't even look at Song Beiqi, "Today was just the graduation ceremony."

Yang Xu's smile was as good as ever, but Lin Song felt that she also had a tired expression, wondering if it was because she had been with Song Beiqi for a long time.She sincerely congratulated: "Congratulations."

"Thank you." Lin Song smiled, and finally looked up at Song Beiqi: "A glass of beer."

"Don't want tequila today?" Song Beiqi handed him a glass of white water before the wine was served.Akai next to him was speechless, because he found out that the water glass that Song Beiqi handed to Lin Song was Song Beiqi's own.

It is locked, and it has been changed.
