One-way Passage

    Xia Wennan was reading in the room. His sitting posture was not very correct, he lifted one foot up and stepped on the chair, leaned his body to the other side, and propped his head on the table with his elbow. The remaining hand, Xia Wennan, was used to turn over and write, and from time to time, he opened the mobile phone screen on the desktop to check the time.

    It's almost ten o'clock in the evening, and Mingluchuan hasn't come back.

    Ming Luchuan does not like to stay out late unless he is entertaining. Xia Wennan adhered to the attitude of non-interference with him, and never asked him in advance if he would be entertained today, but Xia Wennan had been waiting for Ming Luchuan tonight.

    At half past ten in the evening, Xia Wennan was too sleepy to concentrate on reading. He closed the professional book in front of him, reached out and picked up his mobile phone, and finally made up his mind to call Ming Luchuan.

    When the waiting tone came from the receiver, Xia Wennan was a little uneasy. He tapped lightly on the table with his fingers until the call was connected. There was a loud noise from the opposite side, but There was no reply from Ming Luchuan for a long time.

    Xia Wennan cautiously said, "Hello?"

    Ming Luchuan's voice immediately sounded: "Xia Wennan?"

    His voice was low and hoarse and indistinct, as if something hot was rolling down his throat. With the chaotic background sounds around him, Xia Wennan quickly made a guess: "Are you drinking? already?"

    Ming Luchuan didn't answer. It seemed that someone was talking to him, but he didn't respond either. After ten seconds, Ming Luchuan said, "...Come pick me up?"

    Xia Wennan was stunned: "Did you tell me?"

    Ming Luchuan said, "Hmm--", as if answering Xia Wennan, but also as if the wine was suffocating.

    At this time, Xia Wennan suddenly heard someone shouting: "Duan Ning!" He didn't hear it very clearly, he just thought it was like these two words, but the back of his neck instantly All the hairs stood up, he thought to himself: Good you Ming Luchuan, while saying that it is not Bai Yueguang, he secretly went to drink with Bai Yueguang! I'm so kind to call me to pick you up!

    "Where are you?" Xia Wennan's tone was not very good, "Where is your driver?"

    But Ming Luchuan didn't answer, and there were all kinds of messy background sounds all the time. After about half a minute, the call was cut off.

    Xia Wennan got angry. He put the phone on the desk, took a deep breath, and stood up to pee and sleep.

    In the bathroom, there was still water vapor from his shower, which was stuffy and hot. I usually wipe the mist on the glass habitually, but I don't bother to wipe it today.

    Coming out of the bathroom, Xia Wennan opened the closet, found a long-sleeved T-shirt and jeans to put on, grabbed his mobile phone and wallet and walked outside, changing his shoes and calling Xu Feng when he reached the gate , asked him where Ming Luchuan was eating tonight.

      The wind began to drill into people's collars and hem with the coolness of autumn.

    Xia Wennan tugged at the hem and suddenly realized that the T-shirt was actually quite short, not only short but also wide.

    He took a taxi and went to a restaurant called "Qin Gong" in Mingluchuan for dinner tonight. It took about 20 minutes on the way to reach the destination. The waiter stopped.

    Xia Wennan asked, "Why can't you enter?"

    The waiter said in a very polite manner: "Sir, are you Beta?"

    Xia Wennan said: "I'm Beta, what happened to Beta?"

    The waiter smiled and said, "Sorry sir, Qin Gong is a membership club and only accepts Alpha members and Omega guests."

    Xia Wennan was a little puzzled: "What are Alpha members and Omega guests?"

    The waiter was very patient and explained: "It is Alpha customers who implement a membership system. Omega customers can go in and consume without asking."

    "What about Beta?"

    The waiter said: "I'm very sorry, we don't accept Beta guests."

      First time meeting.

    "Aren't you Beta too?" Xia Wennan said to the waiter unhappily.

    The smile on the waiter's face did not change: "I'm just a waiter, of course a Beta."

    "I'm sorry," someone behind Xia Wennan suddenly reached out and inserted himself between the two of them, handing the waiter a business card.

    Xia Wennan looked back and saw that it was the driver of Minglu River. The driver nodded to Xia Wennan and said, "Mr. Xia." Then he said to the waiter who had seen his business card, "This is Mr. Ming's partner."

    The waiter began to bow again and again: "I'm sorry."

    Xia Wennan waved his hand, but before he could answer him, he asked the driver, "How do you know I'm here?"

    The driver raised his finger and pointed to the side, there was still half a cigarette between his fingers, he said, "I was waiting for Mr. Ming, and I came over when I received a call from Assistant Xu."

    Xia Wennan said: "Oh, thank you."

    The driver said: "Mr. Lao, please call me when it's over."

    Xia Wennan gave him an OK gesture.

    The waiter has bent over and waited: "Sir, please."

    Xia Wennan walked inside with him.

      There was no sound of footsteps.

    Xia Wennan looked at the waiter walking in front of him and couldn't help but say, "Isn't it determined not to accept Beta?"

    The waiter smiled and turned back: "I'm sorry, I made you misunderstand me. Qin Gong does not accept Beta guests who come alone. If it is a friend or partner of an Alpha member in the clubhouse, naturally to be received."

    Xia Wennan took a sigh of relief and asked, "If it is a big boss, or a big star, a scientist, or a world champion, these people are Beta members who want to become members and you won't let them do it?"

    The waiter bowed sideways: "I'm sorry, this is the rule set by the boss." Then he continued to lead the way with a polite smile.

    Xia Wennan didn't ask any further questions. After all, the person in front of him was just a waiter, and he was also a Beta group who was discriminated against. It was pointless to embarrass him.

    The waiter stopped, stood in front of a wooden sliding door in the middle of a bamboo wall, and said, "This is the private room where Mr. Ming and his friends eat."

    Xia Wennan suddenly remembered the sound of "Duan Ning" that someone had called just now, and his mood that had suppressed his anger became more gloomy. He fantasized about kicking the sliding door in front of him and shouting loudly Said: "Good you Ming Luchuan! You still don't admit that you have Bai Yueguang!"

    In fact, he just stood quietly in front of the door, watched the waiter knock on the door, and then helped him open the private room door with very gentle movements.

    There are seven or eight people in the private room, only two or three Omegas, and the others are Alphas, all looking in his direction at this time.

    But the key is that there are no Ming Luchuan and Duan Ning here, and what is even more strange is that He Yufeng is actually in the private room, he got up from the cushion he was sitting on, and said with a little surprise: "Little Junior Brother?"
