Third item on a list or third day of a month represented in Arabic numerals as 03.
"Don't do it!" Ling Haochen interrupted, "There's a beer competition coming up soon. Ji Qingnian, just wait and I'll go win you a prize."
Luo Qiqi pushed me in front of the dressing mirror, grabbed the cosmetics and applied them to my face. Like an adult, she said, "Your skin is so good, let me put on some light makeup for you. It won't be noticeable, but it will make you look more energetic."
Lu Qiqi was teased by Yang Yanxiao. A puff of smoke choked in his throat, causing him to cough continuously. Mu Shaobai replied to me, "It's not a special day. We usually gather here every week. At 8 o'clock in the evening, the bar will hold a beer competition."
It's different from what I expected. The interior decoration of the bar is very distinctive, with "travel" as the theme. The buildings inside are mostly retro solid wood, and the walls are hung with photos of places visited by guests. The lighting in the bar is soft and not noisy, slightly different from the name "unrestrained".
I reached out and covered my face, chuckling.
Stop playing, you two! Luo Qiqi gestured aggressively, clapping both hands on the table to halt them. "I brought a friend with me, let me introduce him."
The competition venue was packed with people, and amidst the cheering, I could clearly distinguish the voices of Luo Qiqi and Yang Yanxiao. After thinking for a moment, I asked Mu Shaobai next to me, "If Ling Haochen gets drunk, who will be responsible for taking him home?"
Lu Qiqi greeted Ling Haochen and Yang Yanxiao to dance. The two lively individuals started a dance battle in the middle of the dance floor and within two minutes, they became the rulers of the dance floor.
Two boys looked up, and I instinctively avoided their gaze, walking over to turn off the scrolling hot songs on the electronic screen.
Can we make it? I slightly turned my head and looked at the different me in the mirror. Suddenly, I felt a bit nervous.
I don't know him at all," I said, lifting my cup and drinking after speaking.
It's really sticky nougat, a dying stinky fly. I took over the Winnie the Pooh and casually placed it on the table.
Lu Qiqi came over and grabbed me, pushing towards the crowded dance floor.
Hi, beautiful. Yang Yanxiao greeted me, and Mu Shaobai nodded at me.
Hey, I like you. Lu Qiqi nodded and placed an extremely heavy palm on my back. Seeing my astonished expression, she added, "I like your personality."
"Ah? That excellent student Ji Qingnian?" The energetic boy rushed to Luo Qiqi's side and asked in surprise.
As soon as Mu Shaobai finished speaking, I heard Yang Yanxiao's loud voice. He jumped off the table and threw the beer cap in his hand. Ling Haochen wiped his mouth and walked out of the crowd. The host announced his name when declaring the victory.
Luo Qiqi generously took out a red RMB from her black leather wallet and handed it to the driver, saying, "I'm sorry, you don't need to give me any change."
Luo Qiqi took me into a private room, where two young men were playing the childish game of "rock-paper-scissors." The tall young man in a white shirt looked helpless as he dealt with the rowdy man next to him.
I haven't had a chance to explain anything yet, and the door to the private room was kicked open. Ling Haochen ran in with a bunch of snacks and piled them all on the table. Finally, he turned his head and looked at me carefully without blinking.
I got up and walked out, he followed me with his coat.
I paused for a moment and replied, "People are too blind, and I am too lazy."
Lu Qiqi pulled me into the bar like chasing the wind and lightning.
Once you get used to this atmosphere, it's fine, but don't indulge too much.
I picked a pair of denim overalls and asked while changing, "Qiqi, do you live alone?"
I started to avoid my not-so-peaceful home, and began to yearn to stay outside, even if it means being alone, it doesn't matter.
I turned my head and looked at Mu Shaobai, asking, "Can you take me to the bus station?"
The exterior of the Fàngsì Bar looks like an abandoned warehouse, with a crooked neon light shining above the red-painted wooden door, forming the characters "放肆".
Luo Qiqi stuffed Yang Yanxiao into the sofa and explained, "No, no... It's not us, damn Yang Yanxiao, it's Ling Haochen, he hasn't arrived yet."
Ling Haochen walked up to me, with a short glass table in between. He raised his hand, made a sharpshooter gesture, and "bang" at me. Luo Qiqi and Yang Yanxiao both flattered Ling Haochen like sycophants, praising how amazing he was.
I changed my clothes and stood in front of the fitting mirror to take a look. It was indeed very different from usual.
Just as the words fell, the bartender opened the door from outside the private room, and the voice of the host immediately sounded on the premises, and the quiet bar began to liven up.
I laughed and said, "I estimate that he never wants to come here again."
Mu Shaobai frowned and said, "He can't get drunk, he won't get so drunk that he can't even go home."
That night, I didn't do anything, but for no reason, I felt like something inside me was turned upside down.
Lu Qiqi slipped into the crowd and twisted her body flexibly, occasionally greeting me. I didn't like squeezing in to dance, so I sat down on the sofa in the corner.
Mu Shaobai took out two coins and said with a smile, "Just right."
Well, my parents are abroad and they don't care about me," Luo Qiqi replied as she applied lipstick.
I glared at him with resentment and said word by word, "Classmate, don't delude yourself into thinking you can make an impression in front of me."
After speaking, she opened the car door and turned around to pull me out.
I hurried to catch the last bus of route 101 and made a "goodbye" gesture to Mu Shaobai by the door: "Tell Qiqi that I will be home late and my family will worry. Let her have fun and please bring my backpack and phone to school tomorrow."
Okay. Mu Shaobai nodded, "Be careful on the road."
Lu Qiqi hurried over to stop me, gesturing to Ling Haochen with her eyes. Ling Haochen walked over and stood in front of me, crossing his arms and looking at me meaningfully.
I reached into my pocket and found that my phone was left at Luo Qiqi's house. Just the thought of going back and being scolded by Ji Dahai and Ma Wenjuan made me roll my eyes helplessly. I picked up the glass on the table and drank slowly.
Ling Haochen did not directly answer my question. He leaned over, raised his arm, pointed to the wristwatch on his wrist, and looked at me without moving. He smiled and counted: "3, 2, 1!"
Ji Qingnian, please take care of me a lot.
Luo Qiqi turned around with a smiling face and said, "But you will definitely want to come."
Who knows, Ling Haochen extended his other hand in front of me, holding a Winnie the Pooh doll and laughing loudly, saying, "Hahaha, the gifts are these two dolls. Ji, you are so lucky."
Every weekend, the Bold Bar holds a beer drinking competition where the person who drinks the most gets a chance to leave their travel souvenir photo on the bar wall. Additionally, the bar provides free drinks for a week and gives away small gifts.
Ling Haochen's expression seemed frozen, and after a long pause, he slowly asked, "Who brought her here?"
Luo Qiqi smiled and covered her mouth, saying, "Yes, Nianzi is my guest today, and none of you are allowed to bully her." She pointed to the boy and said, "This is Yang Yanxiao, and that is Mu Shaobai, both are my friends."
Ling Haochen? I exclaimed.
Mr. Mu Shao Bai spoke to me like an old friend and said this sentence, and I responded lightly with a "Hmm."
I don't know where the Wanton Bar is located outside the A city ring road. There is a supermarket and residential area only 500 meters away, and a bus stop 100 meters away.
I suddenly felt like I was not in the same world as them. I walked over, poured a glass of wine, and asked, "Is today a special day?"
The other me in the mirror is quiet and introverted, just like someone who doesn't exist in this world.
I turned around and sat next to Mu Shaobai. Ling Haochen followed and sat in the middle of Mu Shaobai and me, continuing to look at me.
Can you lend me two dollars? My money and phone are at Luo Qiqi's house.
After leaving the wild bar, the world became much quieter. There was only a full moon in the night sky, which made this world incredibly desolate.
Luo Qiqi, I'm leaving! I shouted loudly with anger in my heart.
Ling Haochen sat next to Mu Shaobai and asked me, "Ji classmate, don't you want to praise me?" As he spoke, he shook a Doraemon plush toy in front of me and said, "I'll give it to you."
You pick a piece of clothing, and I'll do a light makeup for you. You're not allowed to enter wearing a school uniform, and there are many people inside who will deliberately bully students," Luo Qiqi said to me, holding a makeup brush.
When I walked out of the classroom, Luo Qiqi saw me carrying a black backpack and scrutinized me carefully. She said, "You can't go on like this." After that, she took my hand, stopped a car at the intersection, and we took a taxi to her home.
"Are you going to participate?" I asked.
Luo Qiqi rested one hand on my shoulder, smiling thoughtfully and saying, "Don't push yourself too hard."
The price tag on the counter displayed "76.00".
Who cares about your gift," I said coldly, getting up to leave.
Next to him, Yang Yan smiled as if he were serving a boxer, massaging and patting Ling Haochen's shoulders and back, handing him water and wiping his sweat. Mu Shaobai sat down next to me and leaned in to whisper in my ear, "Haochen is especially good at drinking, you'll see in a little while."
I don't want to see it at all. I leaned against the sofa, lazily looking at the noisy bar.
Lu Qiqi asked me to temporarily leave my backpack at her house, and then took out a pile of clothes and cosmetics.
Let's go. Luo Qiqi took my hand and pulled me out of the room.
Luo Qiqi hit Yang Yanxiao on the head with a chestnut and said, "Don't flirt with others."
Yes, yes, yes, I obey. Yang Yan smiled and nodded, then took out a cigarette and lit it for Luo Qiqi.
When the car started, there were only two people on the entire bus, me and the driver. Mu Shaobai's figure became farther and farther away outside the window.
In one day, I took more taxis than I did in a year. The driver didn't know where the Fasi Bar was, and Luo Qiqi didn't know which road it was on specifically. So, she leaned forward and leaned on the back of the front seat, gesturing left and right to the driver.
Mr. Mu did not ask further questions, just nodded.
I. Luo Qiqi patted her chest.
Luo Qiqi and the other two looked at me with confusion. She was the first to speak and asked, "Do you know each other?"
Perfect!Lu Qiqi hugged me from behind and looked at the person in the mirror, praising, and then untied the rubber band for me. "Your hair looks better when it's down like this."
In the situation where Luo Qiqi was unfamiliar with the route, the driver, with a face full of sweat, drove the taxi and took us more than an hour to arrive at the doorstep of the Indulgence Bar during the peak hours of getting off work and school.
Ling Haochen had a heavy expression on his face, holding Luo Qiqi's hand with both hands, and sighed, "Ah, my benefactor, my benefactor! I'll cover all the drinking expenses today." After saying that, he immediately changed to a playful and smiling face, propping his head up with one hand and looking at me.
Yes, sir. Turn left. Yes, it's the Summer Palace Hotel. Go straight ahead at the intersection in front of it, then turn right. After that, pass through two more large intersections and continue straight for about one kilometer. Then turn right. It seems that you have to pass four traffic lights before turning left again. Turn right at the first intersection, and you will see a quiet road. Then go in and take a look. The outside door of the Bold Bar is a red wooden door, very eye-catching.
I closed my eyes and let her have her way.
After five minutes, Luo Qiqi exclaimed, "Nianzi, you are simply too beautiful. How can you bear to hide your beauty from the world?"
Met an acquaintance. Yang Yanxiao was a bit gloating on the side.
I like Winnie the Pooh. I decline.
After drinking, I regretted it. My throat was burning and unbearable. I awkwardly searched for purified water everywhere. Mu Shaobai took out purified water from under the sofa, unscrewed the lid, and handed it to me. I "gulped" down more than half of the bottle.
