dogma

In the bar with soft jazz playing, Bo Wan was staring at her mobile phone.

"What are you looking at?" asked his companion.

"I'm thinking about when I should turn it on." Bo Wan smiled, "I recently discovered a very interesting little guy."

He picked up half a slice of grapefruit stuck on the edge of the salt cup and stuffed it into his companion's mouth.His fingertips were licked, warm and moist.The other party wanted to kiss him, but Bo Wan patted his face and gently refused.

His companions could see that he was not in high spirits.

"My home or a hotel?" the companion asked.He knew that Bo Wan never brought anyone to his home, and they all joked about it, probably because there were too many werewolf secrets in Bo Wan's home.

Bo Wan drank half a glass of Salty Dog, put down the glass, and stared at the phone again.He turned it on this time.

As expected, Qu Wu, who couldn't find him, started sending him messages.

"Who is this?" the companion asked, putting his hand on Bo Wan's leg and caressing him affectionately.

"A college student who works part-time with me." Bo Wan opened the message, the corner of his mouth twitching.

Qu Wu sent two messages.

[Hello Boss Bo, I want to remind you that I haven't received my last day's wages yet. 】

【Boss Bo, if my friend wants to work with you during the winter vacation, would you like it? 】

Bo Wan replied with one word: "Who?"

His companions also gathered together to watch the play.

Qu Wu replied in seconds: [My roommate. 】

Bo Wan: [Does it look good?It doesn't look good. I don't want it in the store. 】

Qu Wu: [Very handsome. 】

Bo Wan: [Yes. 】

The companion looked at the source of information and asked, "Q5 is his nickname?"

He was extremely surprised that Bo Wan would actually give people nicknames, which was an extremely unbelievable behavior in the past: werewolves would think it was too childish.

Bo Wan nodded, his smile became more playful.Qu Wu's message jumped in again.

[Will you also give him an hourly salary of 180? 】

Bo Wan: [No. 】

Qu Wu did not reply for a long time.Bo Wan finished drinking the wine in her hand, pushed the glass to the bartender, and knocked on the bar.He is very sure that Qu Wu will continue to reply, but he may be deliberating and thinking... He doesn't know what Qu Wu will be thinking. This young man's brain circuit is a bit weird. Of course, this weirdness is very interesting and will inspire him to challenge want.

A new glass of Salty Dog is here.The salt grains on the rim of the cup opened its teeth and claws, and the liquid mixed with vodka and grapefruit juice flowed through the salt bushes and fell into Bo Wan's mouth.Has Qu Wu ever drank this stuff?he wondered.The alcohol content of the salty dog ​​is higher than the Gamay that Qu Wu tried last time, and Bo Wan suddenly had the idea of ​​drinking with Qu Wu: He can be sure that Qu Wu will get drunk and dizzy.

The phone screen turned on again, and Qu Wu really sent a message.

[Do you want me to beg you? 】

Bo Wan didn't understand what this meant at first.Until his companion came over and chuckled in his ear: "What bad thing did you do? What do you want him to beg you for?"

Bo Wan remembered that he had the audacity to give Qu Wu more work during the period when Qu Wu was reviewing her homework. When Qu Wu protested, he replied: "If you ask me, I will consider it."

His mood suddenly became joyful.After gulping down the rest of the salty dog, he signaled the bartender to keep the bill.

The companion was stunned: "You didn't reply?"

"No." Bo Wan smiled, "Let him be anxious for a while. Sorry, that's it for tonight. Thank you for drinking with me. I have to go back and prepare for tomorrow's work."

The two waved goodbye, Bo Wan put on his coat and left the bar.

He didn't notice that Shen Chunlan was staring at him on a table in the corner.

This bar is a very famous bar on the commercial street outside New Hope. At first, it only accommodated special humans, but as its fame grew, this restriction completely disappeared.There are ordinary humans and special humans in the bar, and the boundaries are very blurred.Cao Hui drank two bottles of ginger beer and couldn't get enough of it: "The beer here is not as good as the skewer restaurant in school. What are you looking at?"

Shen Chunlan withdrew his gaze: "I didn't see anything."

He was the one who brought Cao Hui here, and he did have a lot of uneasy emotions in his heart, but he couldn't tell Cao Hui: about the Yuanxing Society, about Nie Cai, about Bo Wan, and about what happened to him to Rao Xinghai. A little changed emotion.

Cao Hui ate the potato chips in the bar with relish. He has liked them very much since college.He told Shen Chunlan that he had already taken care of Qu Wu's affairs.The work-study job will be released next semester, but with the special approval of the school, he can continue to work part-time outside the school, but he needs the signature of the head of the Department of Educational Sciences and Qu Wu's counselor to guarantee that Qu Wu's part-time job is legal and compliant.

"Thanks to the head of the department, otherwise this matter would not be so easy to handle." Cao Hui said, "You said that Rao Xinghai also wants to work during the winter vacation? Winter and summer vacations are fine, and the school doesn't care about that. Tomorrow is the holiday. Did you find them?" ?”

"I'll talk about it later." Shen Chunlan and Cao Hui touched the wine bottle, "You and Wen Jing plan to get married this year?"

Cao nodded back: "Didn't I propose to her for Christmas, and she agreed. But we haven't started looking at the house yet, which is a big problem."

They started chatting about life in more concrete terms.Many things that were hanging in Shen Chunlan's heart fell to the ground one by one.

Winter holidays come as scheduled.The New Hope Academy was lively for a day or two, and then fell into the annual extreme desertion.Both Yang Deyi and Zhou Shifei went home, one took the plane and the other took the high-speed train.When the two left, they were still awkward and did not speak to each other.In order to ease the atmosphere, Rao Xinghai told Zhou Shifei that Qiao Fangjiu, whom he had been secretly in love with, would also take the high-speed train home, and the two could set off together.

Zhou Shifei was finally a little happier, and he was not so depressed when he went out to say goodbye.

Yang Deyi left even later, he carefully cleaned up for Rao Xinghai. "The interview must be successful!" He looked at his finished product happily, "Rao Xinghai, it would be great if your mental body was a Siberian tiger, I will definitely like you."

Rao Xinghai yawned, and the golden python coiled loosely on Bian Mu's body, also yawned.Under the influence of one person and one snake, Bian Mu also bared his teeth and opened his mouth wide, barking.

Qu Wu has also tidied herself up.He planned to take Rao Xinghai to RS to meet the boss of the werewolf today.

"Even if your first love is the Siberian tiger, you don't have to be obsessed with the Siberian tiger all the time, right?" Qu Wu said, "Do you like that spirit body or that person?"

"I'm leaving." Yang Deyi evaded the question again and dragged the suitcase with a smile.Yang Yun also shouted his name downstairs in the dormitory, and he rushed out of the room in a hurry: "I will definitely bring you special products!"

Rao Xinghai: "What is Yang Deyi's specialty?"

Qu Wu: "Bacon."

Rao Xinghai: "Zhou Shifei's family also makes bacon. What about your family?"

Qu Wu: "...bacon."

Rao Xinghai: "..."

The two were relatively speechless, and the golden python and Bian Mu started to stare at each other, yawning one after another.

Although the winter vacation is over, there is still more than half a month before the Chinese New Year.Qu Wu and Rao Xinghai left the school and walked towards RS.Naturally, the commercial street is much deserted, and many shops are closed as the students are on holiday, but RS is not positioned specifically for students. Qu Wu and the waiter found out that it will be open until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

There were not many people in the store, but they were obviously not students. Qu Wu blinked and saw two old gray-haired couples.Bo Wan was in the store, and when Qu Wu walked in, he had already noticed it, subconsciously raised his airs, ignored Qu Wu, and kept pressing on the calculator.

"On the last day, you worked for three hours, 180 per hour, a total of 540." Bo Wan said, "But you pissed me off, so round up and take an integer, 500."

Qu Wu: "I brought my friends here for an interview today."

He asked with difficulty and politely: "Also, boss, can I continue to work here part-time?"

Only then did Bo Wan raise his head, and he glanced at Rao Xinghai's face.Very good, in line with the overall appearance level of RS, even a lot higher.Then his eyes fell on Qu Wu's face: "No violation? Your teacher won't trouble me?"

"No, the college approved it." Qu Wu said, "But I have to go home tonight, next semester..."

Bo Wan signaled Qu Wu to walk aside with her.

He could see that Qu Wu was trying to apologize to himself.

For his friends?For this job?Bo Wan reminded in a low voice: "How do you want to ask me?"

Qu Wu: "... Please."

Bo Wan laughed: "No, I don't accept this kind of thing."

Qu Wu gritted her teeth: "Then what kind do you accept? ... The last time is not acceptable."

Bo Wan: "What kind?"

Qu Wu's face turned red, her eyes flickered, and it was only after a moment that she mustered up the courage to answer: "You can't kiss me...nor your nose."

"I don't want to kiss you at all." Bo Wan replied immediately, "But... I didn't expect to ask you how to ask. Keep it for now, and we can talk about it when you come back from the New Year."

Qu Wu was stunned for a while before she became happy: "Can I continue?"

Bo Wan walked back to the coffee table: "Yes, your friend is also fine. What's his name? Do you want to sign a part-time contract?"

Rao Xinghai and Qu Wu almost said in unison: "I want to sign."

This is what Shen Chunlan asked thousands of times this morning.

In this way, during the first winter vacation of the university, Rao Xinghai got a part-time job with a high salary.Since he works in the cafe almost all the time, like other employees in the store, he works six days a week on the basis of 300 a day.

Rao Xinghai naturally felt that his salary was too different from Qu Wu's, but the salary was already several times better than his work-study program in the skill building, so he had no complaints.

There are not as few things in the cafe as imagined.At first, Bo Wan refused to let Rao Xinghai drink coffee, so Rao Xinghai could only do the cleaning and washing the dishes every day, which was boring and monotonous.

Occasionally, when other waiters are resting, he has the opportunity to stand in the store to receive customers.He liked it instead.Most of the guests who came here were quiet and didn't speak loudly. Some of them were obviously Bo Wan's friends, such as some werewolves.They would show Rao Xinghai a mysterious smile, and then Bo Wan would helplessly shrug, "It's not him."

Bo Wan didn't talk to him very much.Rao Xinghai felt that this werewolf was different from the impression Yang Deyi and Qu Wu described in the dormitory.He is not rude or dissolute, and of course he is not as annoying as Qu Wu said.Bo Wan spends most of his time studying his coffee, and the rest of the time, he holds a laptop computer and taps in a corner of the coffee shop, filling in various figures on the report.

Time passed quickly, and the shop became deserted day by day.Rao Xinghai's work has also gradually become idle. He has a lot of time to lean against the floor-to-ceiling windows and stare in a daze, looking at the dishes served by Yang Dezi in the dormitory group, sending messages to Shen Chunlan that he rarely responds to, or chatting with that guinea pig on Lube. Live guide chat.

The other party didn't know who he was, but Rao Xinghai had already confirmed that this person was Shen Chunlan.

Shen Chunlan on Lube is not like his teacher anymore.He will talk about himself, what books he likes to read, where he likes to go to play, how many brothers and sisters he has at home, and when his niece comes home, she clings to him all day long. He is determined not to have children in the future.

It was wrong to deceive Shen Chunlan.Rao Xinghai knew.

But as a stranger—and in a strongly suggestive identity—to contact Shen Chunlan and listen to him talk about his life, the temptation was too strong, and Rao Xinghai couldn't persuade himself to give up.

This is the happiest thing in his whole winter vacation.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the day before the RS Cafe's holiday, Bo Wan didn't come to the store, and only received three customers in one morning. Rao Xinghai poked Shen Chunlan on the lube again, and now he called him "little mouse".

He sincerely prayed that Shen Chunlan would not beat himself up when he knew the truth.

Before Shen Chunlan could reply, the door of the cafe opened.Rao Xinghai was the only person in the store, and he immediately straightened up reflexively: "Welcome."

The visitor was a tall young man dressed in black. He took off his hat after entering the room, revealing his soft black hair.He took off his coat, looked around, and sat down by the window.

Rao Xinghai walked over with a glass of warm lemonade, put it down steadily, and reminded the young man that he could order with his mobile phone or look at the menu on the table.

The young man didn't look up at first.Rao Xinghai just thought he was strange: he had already entered the cafe, and he was still wearing that gray-black mask.

"Is your boss not here?" The young man flipped through the menu and asked casually, "I've been here several times, but I haven't been able to drink the coffee he made himself..."

His voice was very soft, Rao Xinghai speculated that this person should be about the same age as him.He looked up at the young man as he spoke.

Those smiling eyes widened the moment they saw Rao Xinghai.

Rao Xinghai was taken aback.

The young man stood up suddenly.His eyebrows are thick and his eyes are very big, but at this moment his eyes are full of complex expressions: surprise, ecstasy, confusion, disbelief...

He even grabbed his own mask, as if trying to rip it off.

But only the tip of his nose was exposed, and he immediately put it back on.

"Sorry, I... I have skin allergies and I can't take off the mask," he said.

Rao Xinghai nodded. In just a moment, he had already seen the reddened skin on the young man's face.

"Boss Bo is not here today, but I can make you a cup of the simplest black coffee." Rao Xinghai said honestly, "I don't know anything else, it's all our boss' secret technique."

"Then black coffee." The young man said immediately, "Two cups."

Rao Xinghai realized that the young man was staring at him all the time, his gaze was almost wrapped around Rao Xinghai's back, and he couldn't get rid of it at all.

He put two cups of black coffee in front of the young man, but the young man stretched out his hand and asked him to sit down.

"My companion is not coming. Can I buy you an extra glass?"

Rao Xinghai: "Sorry, it's working hours, I can't eat or drink anything."

The bright eyes of the young man showed a deep sense of disappointment in an instant.Rao Xinghai felt a little unbearable for no reason.

He even felt that there was some kind of weird emotion stirring in his heart, his mental body seemed to be unable to hold back, and wanted to burst out of his body.

Especially the Black Mamba.

Rao Xinghai clearly felt a strange excitement and anxiety, which made his heart beat a little faster, but this was not a sexual response.

He didn't know what it was, he only knew that this fresh feeling was caused by the youth in front of him.

"Then can you chat with me?" the young man asked, "just for a while...is that okay?"

Rao Xinghai didn't know why he begged himself.They are just strangers to each other.

But he didn't want to refuse the young man's request at all, so he put away the tray and sat opposite him.

The author has something to say: Salty Dog: A cocktail with white salt on the rim of the glass.

Some readers came up with various nicknames for Qu Wu, Q5, decontamination, fun, you are so cute!The werewolf said he likes Q5!

lube: Holidays are great, holidays, I made a big difference!

In today's program, Cao Hui's Snow Leopard will bring you a song "Let's Learn to Meow Together".

audience:? ? ?

The snow leopard patrolled the stage, majestic, powerful, and murderous.

One flick of the tail, another flick.

Then it spoke with music.

That night, the most liked comment on the theater troupe forum was: It turns out that the snow leopard's cry is louder than that of a cat...

PS: Cao Hui tried several times to attack the troupe's website and hack the message board, but failed.
