Chapter 37

As the New Year was getting closer, my mother tried her best to persuade Mengyang to stay for a few more days. After Mengyang agreed, my mother proposed to play mahjong.Mengyang said no, so my mother taught her patiently.After Mengyang was taught, the four of us sat down to play mahjong.Not long after I played, my phone rang.I fed it, and Shi Lei's mischievous voice came from over there, she said, how about playing mahjong at home?
I said, how do you know?

She said, I heard the sound of rubbing mahjong.

I asked her, what's the matter?
She said, you owe me a meal, and I will eat it now.

I said, just played.

She said, you owe me a meal, but you checked it.

When I thought about it, I did pull the tick.

I had to ask her, where are you meeting?

She smiled and said, the old place.

After hanging up the phone, I stood up and told Mengyang seriously that I have a buddy who wants to immigrate to Canada with his family tomorrow, and now he wants to see me for the last time, so I have to go.Mengyang didn't object, she just looked up at me and said don't drink too much and come back early.And my mother firmly refused to let me go, saying that if I left, my brand would not be good from now on.My mother has always attached great importance to her brand, and she thinks that brand is character.But I don't think so.Amid her self-righteous threats, I stepped out of the house.

Shi Lei's family is also in Changchun, and it takes half an hour to take a taxi from my home to hers.I am familiar with the terrain near her home, and I can unimpeded with my eyes closed.The so-called old place is actually a sauce bone restaurant downstairs from her house.Back then, Shi Lei and I were both slanderous cats, and we both liked to gnaw bones.The bones in the sauce bone restaurant are delicious, but the supply is limited.Each table can only order one plate of bones for a meal, which broke the brains of Shi Lei and me.Many times, the two of us have to rely on rock-paper-scissors to decide who gets the last piece.Later we came up with a way, that is to pretend not to know each other and go in one after the other, sit on two tables and ask for two plates of bones.After the bones came up, each person ate a piece, and then quickly sat together, pretending to recognize each other.Later, because we always go, this trick is not easy to use.The boss saw that we really love to eat bones, so he served us two plates each time, and asked us to go to a private room in the back room to eat, so as not to let other guests see, so as not to make trouble.

I haven't been to this bone museum since I broke up with Shi Lei.More than a year later, I got off the taxi again and stood in front of the Bone Museum. I suddenly found that the Bone Museum had been renovated.And Shi Lei was sitting in a seat by the window, smiling and waving to me.I hurried in.Shi Lei is wearing a white half-sized down jacket today. I bought this down jacket for her with the cigarette money I saved for three months, and she likes it very much.Seeing this down jacket, I can see my painful and trembling years without smoking.Shi Lei asked me, are you slanderous?

I thought about it and said, a little bit.

She immediately said that it was useless.

I said, are you not slanderous?
She smiled and said, I was also slandered.

The boss didn't change, and he even recognized us.He generously served us two plates of bones and invited us to eat in the private room inside.Shi Lei and I had no choice but to go to the private room inside with our clothes and bones.That private room was a small kang. After entering, Shi Lei and I took off our shoes and climbed onto the kang.The kang was very hot, and I found the feeling of living in the countryside when I was a child.

Shi Lei and I are each holding a plate of bones. We have already put on our gloves and we are about to start eating.Shi Lei suddenly said that she wanted to drink some wine with me.I know Shi Lei's drinking capacity very well. She belongs to the group who drink too much, but she likes to drink very much.I thought, the straight-line distance from here to her house is less than 50 meters, and it’s okay to drink too much.Just say, okay.So we asked for a bottle of Little Confused Fairy.Shi Lei said to chew on a bone first.I say yes.Shi Lei and I just lowered our heads and gnawed a bone.After eating, Shi Lei asked me, how many yuan do you have left?
I counted and told her, six dollars.

She said, why do I have five yuan left?
I said, I don't know.

She said, no, I want to change with you.

I said, it can't be changed at all.

The atmosphere became tense, and the two sides were in a stalemate.When encountering this kind of situation before, Shi Lei would kiss me across the table, and I would give her a bone from my plate.But now, she suddenly asked me, Bao Beining, if I want to kiss you, can you still give me a bone?

I asked her, are you serious?
She said, really.

I said, no need to kiss, I'll give it to you directly.

Shi Lei smiled and said, if you give it to me directly, I won't take it.I don't like asking for things for nothing.

After eating a bone, started drinking.Shi Lei raised the glass first, she said Happy New Year, and then drained the glass of white wine, I was dumbfounded.You must know that there are at least two taels in a cup.And Shi Lei only measured one or two.After she finished drinking, she looked at me. I had no choice but to follow suit.After finishing it, Shi Lei poured it on me again, and poured it on himself too.This time she said a long paragraph, to the effect that she was very happy that I could tolerate her and let her in the process of falling in love with her.Just because of my kindness to her back then, she decided to toast herself, and I can do whatever I want.I just wanted to stop her, but she backed away and drank another glass of white wine.I was taken aback by her posture.I've never seen her drink like that.She looked at me after she finished drinking.I had no choice but to give up my life to accompany the gentleman and do it with her.

After two drinks, there was only a bottle of white wine left.Shi Lei said to have another bottle.I said no.Shi Lei said that today we will do nothing but drink.You treat me as your brother, and we won't return until we're drunk.I was moved by the boldness shown by Shi Lei.I said, let's have another bottle.When the second bottle of wine came, we all filled it up again.Shi Lei said it was my turn to toast her, so I raised my glass.Shi Lei suddenly said, you must tell me at least a hundred words before I will drink this glass of wine with you.I had no choice but to smile with the strength of wine that just came up and said, Shi Lei, you are the first girl I have ever loved in my life, I am very happy to spend my four years in college with you, thank you for leaving me With so many beautiful memories, you went to Japan alone for your own ideals. In fact, I don’t blame you, but to be honest, I was very sad at the time.I thought you would never abandon me, just as I would never abandon you.I have never regretted falling in love with you. If there is a moment now that requires me to sacrifice my life to protect you, let me tell you, Shi Lei, I will still not hesitate... After saying these things in my heart, I I felt much happier, but Shi Lei who was sitting opposite me had already burst into tears.She cried and said, I'm sorry, Bao Beining, I let you down.I shook my head and said, it's all over.Shi Lei then cried and said, Bao Beining, I know I have made you sad, and I am here today to apologize to you.Don't drink this glass of wine, I'll drink it for you.It's all my fault, I drank it all.After speaking, Shi Lei snatched my wine as well. She drank a glass as soon as she raised her head, but when she was about to drink the second glass, I knocked it over. The wine spilled on Shi Lei's clothes, and she cried even more sadly up.She said, Bao Beining, let me help you have a drink, so I can feel better...
