Chapter 288 (1/2)

It was just dusk when Qingmu returned to Liuying lane.

There are already a few guests in Ruhua bar, and the new waiter is standing at the door. The facade is much brighter than in the past. You can see the stage inside at a glance. Mo Yu sits on the stage tuning with his guitar in his arms, and Xiao Qi looks at it foolishly behind the bar.

Aoki went in, leaned lazily against the bar and said, ”have a beer.”

Xiao Qi calmed down and said with a smile, ”boss, don't you try my cocktail?”

Aoki said, ”forget it. With your skill, I'd better drink beer.”

Xiao Qi was not angry either. He smiled and helped Aoki pour a glass of beer. He pushed it forward skillfully. The glass slid over on the smooth table and just stopped in front of Aoki.

”I got the true legend of the boss's wife. The guests said it was delicious!”

”It's true that it's Mo language?” Aoki took up his glass and looked at Mo language on the stage and said, ”isn't there a band? How can you make your daughter-in-law appear in the public? Aren't you afraid of being abducted and run away by the rich second generation?”

”Oh, who dares!” said Qi disdainfully. ”Who dares to freeze on Taisui's head? The boss's wife approved the matter between me and Mo Yu!”

”Do you treat me as Empress Dowager Cixi!” lifeflower came in through the back door and just heard Xiao Qi's words. She also sat down next to Aoki at the bar. ”Have a margarita and see what you do.”

Xiao Qi spits out his tongue at Qingmu and turns to mix wine.

Since seeing Zhao Pengcheng's illusory second half of his life, Aoki is a little different when he looks at the flowers of his life. He seemed to see the middle-aged woman with crow's feet and sadness in her eyes, walking alone in the bleak Liuying Lane Street with a vegetable basket.

The memory scene in the dream is only a moment, but it is a real decade for that world. Life is short, prosperous and perishable. A woman dedicated her best years to a man who can't wake up in bed. Now he's back. And did she come back?

Aoki suddenly remembered what Dewar said. Situ was looking for false evidence of World War II. He once thought how absurd this idea was. Now think about it. If a person was trapped in the zero dimensional dream corridor before World War II, if he came out one day, would time and space be pulled back to that era?

However, is he the only one to go back, or will the world go back because of him? It's like Aoki is back and Zhao Pengcheng is back, but is the world Zhao Pengcheng experienced really back?

This is an unsolvable mystery, because neither Aoki nor Zhao Pengcheng can go into that world again. And in that world, where did the old flowers finally go? Is she the same person as the life flower in front of her?

Seeing Aoki looking at her all her life, the flower stared at her and said, ”what are you looking at? I'm writing on my face?”

Aoki was still staring at it, just like appreciating a rare treasure. Gradually, something rich appeared in his eyes and filled the air.

”Thank you!” he said.

”What?” I spent my whole life wondering, ”thank me for what?”

”Thank you for staying with me. From today on, I will treat you well. When I finish my mission, we will find an island and stay together forever.”

”Psycho!” the lifelong flower scolded softly, looking at Aoki like a monster.

Aoki's expression is serious, his tone is sincere, and his eyes are hot. Life flower knew he was not joking. Her face turned red and her heart jumped involuntarily.

Xiao Qi, who was mixing wine, laughed with a puff. He didn't dare to laugh too loudly. He looked as if he had a stomachache.

There is a kind of and viscous emotion flowing in the air, just like a glass of red wine infecting the sunset glow at dusk. The flower couldn't stand it all her life. She avoided Aoki's eyes and said to Xiao Qi, ”mix your wine well and laugh!”

Qi held back his smile, put a glass of Marguerite on the bar and winked at the lifelong flower: ”today, the sun came out in the west, and the boss can talk in love. It's really an iron tree in bloom.”
