Midnight Restaurant

Chapter 16 Twisted Happiness

Heihongyan'er got the answer he wanted, and I was relieved. Is this the way to go?
The two stubborn species should have compromised, right?
But then I found out, I was so fucking wrong.

Things were far from being as simple as I thought, or in other words, I didn't understand what Heihongyan was thinking at all.After hearing the words she had been looking forward to for a long time, she let out a long sigh.

She shook her head and said, "You still don't want to... In fact, even if I'm not your daughter, I'm not dead, I'm still your girlfriend in the previous life, you won't be willing. I still can't get it..."

Saying that, the black and red eyes came to me.

I sighed: "Don't be too persistent, some things are just like this, and it doesn't mean that you can get it with hard work."

"I'm so lonely..." Heihongyaner looked at me.

"It's okay, let's have a chat and have a meal." I smiled dryly, then looked at Shao Zun, and was about to ask him if he could let me go to the restaurant for dinner with black eyes, but this is, I suddenly felt A gloom rushed towards me.

I turned my head and saw that it was black and red eyes, but she rushed towards me not to attack me, but to hit her stomach on my dagger.I couldn't dodge in time, the dagger just pierced her stomach.

"Fuck! You..."

"Since...you will never get it...then what is the point of my existence..."

"Fuck, why are you so overthinking it, hey..." But before I finished speaking, the black and red eyes got into the dagger and never came out again.

Probably dead, in the words of the proprietress, this is killing her.

But I feel uncomfortable.I am a bit of a Madonna complex, and I always don't want to see people die, and ghosts are the same.I always feel that it can be solved obviously, and everyone lives in peace. As for being so extreme?
Or that old man, can't you be more real?

I sighed, feeling very upset.Shao Zun turned around and left, looking very cold-blooded and heartless, the old man was stunned for a long time, I thought he would ask me something, but he didn't respond and went downstairs directly.

I suddenly understood a sentence, it was the one that Heihongyaner had muttered to me: She is so lonely...

It is very lonely, this is the reason for not wanting to exist, right?

I sighed and left too.

Back at the restaurant, I looked at the knife repeatedly, and when the proprietress came to me, she took the knife back with a smile, sniffed it lightly, and muttered: "Possessive."

"Huh? What possessiveness?"

"As I said, my knife is for collecting ghosts. I have been looking for something like this for a long time, and finally found it."

I looked at the proprietress inexplicably, but didn't speak.

Maybe the proprietress felt that I was in a bad mood, so she didn't chat with me much, turned around and left with a knife, but she stopped suddenly, and I heard her talking to herself in a doubtful voice behind me: " Huh? Not only possessiveness, but also an emotion... loneliness?"

Lonely, two words that are difficult to explain.

……

This matter is considered to be over, which made me feel very bad, but I am naturally optimistic, and I forgot about it within two days.She disappeared, but I still exist, I have to be happy, we meet by chance, I can only pray for her, I hope that the ghost can become an individual after death, and don't disappear completely.

When I was thinking about this, the proprietress suddenly came up behind me, and a faint fragrance penetrated into my nose. She smiled and said: "To disappear completely is not necessarily a bad thing. For some people, the presence of Things are their hell..."

"I... I have a college education, can we speak human language, lady boss?"

"Talk back to me and deduct your salary!"

"Miss Boss, I found that I really like your speaking style, please continue."

"Continue to be a ghost, go, there is a customer ordering food over there, and he seems to be in a bad mood, talk to him."

The proprietress is going to sell me again. After the black and red eye incident last time, I was more careful. This time I asked in advance: "Madam proprietress, is that customer in a bad mood? Your eyes are sharp, I think There are ghosts all over the room, all with the same wooden expression, how did you tell them apart, tell me?"

The proprietress giggled, like a vixen, fiddling with a small silver knife, and approached me: "What are you talking about, boy? Is the room full of ghosts? Didn't I tell you before, this room is not full of ghosts, not many ghosts." , most of them are still people. Here, the guests are in the small seat in the southwest corner, look at the floor, if there are shadows, go.”

I took a closer look, hey?There is really a shadow, and then I look at others.

Damn, there is no shadow in this room!But forget it, the tone of the proprietress really doesn't want to lie to me, anyway, let's chat, it won't be long before I don't cause trouble for myself this time?

So, I walked over with a plate of pepper beef tenderloin.

"Sir, your food." I put down the plate of beef tenderloin with peppercorns, only to realize that this man is about 30 years old, with eyes, and well-dressed. Although he is not particularly rich, he should belong to that A man with potential stocks.

"Thank you..." The man nodded and smiled at me, but he looked down at the dishes, but he frowned: "I said it was packed, how did you put it on the plate?"

I was taken aback, and quickly smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, sir, I'll ask you."

As I said that, I turned back to find the proprietress: "Sister Lan, he packed it, how did he put it on the plate later?"

"Oh? Is it packed? I forgot. I've been very busy recently. Apologize to the guests, and then bring me the plate of beef tenderloin."

I did as I did, and after I turned around and brought the beef tenderloin to the proprietress, I came to the guest and said, "Excuse me, sir, I'll pack it for you right away... Oh, by the way, there are two more dishes, don't worry."

"Hmm..." The man nodded, looked at me suddenly, and asked, "By the way, the food here is delicious. I've always wanted to ask... can you deliver food?"

Delivery?

I turned to look at the proprietress, on the bar counter, she nodded her sexy little chin.

"Yes." I nodded, and the man smiled at me.At this time, I was very puzzled. I have been working in this restaurant for a few days, and I understand that there is something wrong with the guests here. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or what happened.But now I'm wondering, why is this guy packing?Packing itself is not surprising, but other guests here have never had the habit of taking things home to eat.

"Actually, it's better to eat the food from our house just out of the pan, but it's not very tasty when it's cold when you take it home," I reminded.

"It can't be helped. My wife can't get out of bed because she likes to eat."

"your wife?"

"Yes, my wife is disabled."

Hearing this, I hurriedly apologized, but I didn't expect to uncover his scars.But the man shook his head indifferently and smiled at me. I suddenly saw a complex emotion in his eyes. At that time, I didn’t understand what it was. Just because he was smiling, I thought it was something related to happiness. mood.

Then, maybe a few words opened up the man's chatterbox, and he began to tell me a few words about his story.

"Actually, I am a happy person, and I am very lucky. I thank God..."

His name is Cheng Nan, and his wife's name is Tong Xiaoyue. The two fell in love with each other, and they graduated and got married. Their relationship has always been very good, and their lives have always been smooth.At that time, I said a few interesting things, and I, a single dog who has never had a girlfriend, was envious for a while.

But soon, his tone changed, as if entering a dark period.

After marriage, the couple who had a good relationship soon went to climb the mountain. The mountain is Qingzhu Mountain, a famous mountain in southern Ningxia. Go to several famous cliffs in Zhushan.

And that time when Cheng Nan and Tong Xiaoyue went climbing, it was the most famous cliff in Qingzhu Mountain.

After finally reaching the top of the cliff, the two were very happy. Only those adventurers knew the pleasure of conquering nature.But unfortunate things followed. Tong Xiaoyue stumbled and fell off a cliff while taking pictures.At that time, Cheng Nan was going crazy, so he hurried down the mountain, called the police, and contacted various rescue forces.

But that night, everyone gathered at the foot of the mountain.At that time, the body was nowhere to be found, and some long bloodstains and footprints of wild beasts could be seen.

Everyone felt that Tong Xiaoyue was dead, and that she was eaten by wild beasts.

At that time Cheng Nan was very sad...

Hearing this, I don't understand why Cheng Nan would say that he is a happy person, which is obviously a tragedy in the world.

But I didn't talk, because Cheng Nan's expression was very painful when he said this.

But the next moment, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth that didn't seem to fit the atmosphere at the moment, and he continued, after talking about it, his whole person changed. It's all over, he seems to let her come back.

About a month later, suddenly one day, the doorbell rang.

He opened the door in surprise, but there was no one in front of him.

But at this time, he heard a woman's voice, very familiar, it was his wife Tong Xiaoyue.At that time, he was a little scared and thought he had seen a ghost, but later, when he lowered his head, he realized that a very embarrassed woman with one leg missing, one arm missing, her face unrecognizable, and her facial features distorted was lying on the ground, constantly calling his name.

That's Tong Xiaoyue...

Hearing this, I felt a chill all over my body, and I didn't know why I felt uncomfortable.

"But...then what? What's going on?"

"It was Xiaoyue who came back. She didn't die that day, but she hid in a cave because of avoiding wild beasts, but she was caught by wild beasts later. When she was about to be bitten, she met a hunter in the mountains. But the hunter was old-fashioned, He didn't have any money, so he took Xiaoyue to recuperate for a few days, and then sent her out, regardless of life or death. She was alone, begging all the way back."

Only then did I understand, and I said in my heart that I am really a poor person.

How lucky is this?

"You think I'm miserable, right? But in fact, I'm lucky to have her by my side. I don't care what she looks like now."

When the man said this, his eyes suddenly changed again.

I still don't understand, it should be happiness, right?This twisted happiness.
