Chapter 26 Peacock Forest (26)

"From your reaction, it seems that you have acquaintances who also want to manage the business?" Xiaoyun's eyes are sharp. "Ok. ’ I answered vaguely. "Could it be your girlfriend who wants to run a business?" I opened my eyes wide and nodded slowly. "You're here again." Xiaoyun laughed, "Next, do you want to say: You once had a mountain alliance I swear to each other, but now the labor and the swallow are separated, so you can only lick your wounds in the pub? " The more Xiaoyun talked, the happier she became, but my eyes opened wider and wider.

She saw that my eyes were wide open and did not move, so she waved her right hand in front of me and said: "Stop playing, it's not funny." "I'm not playing. 』I blinked my sore eyes. "Could it be...Could it be..." It was her turn to open her eyes wide, "Is that right?" "Ok. 』I smiled wryly. "Sorry." She stuck out her tongue. "It doesn't matter. 』 Xiaoyun seemed a little embarrassed, and after showing an unnatural smile, he said: "Let me treat you today, or I will have a bad conscience." "OK. ’ I said, ‘I’m going to have a Martini, though. 』

"You took advantage of the fire to rob." "Have you forgotten? ’ I said, ‘I’m the one who picks the peacock. 』 She poured gin and absinthe into a mixing glass filled with ice cubes, and quickly stirred it with a bar spoon, Then strain out the ice cubes and pour into a cocktail glass just out of the mini fridge, Finish with a red olive at the end. "Why order a Martini?" Xiao Yun asked. "I often see people ordering, so I want to drink and watch. 』 "The martini is indeed a famous cocktail, perhaps even the most famous." Xiaoyun said, "But what I mean is: why do you order "wine"?"

"Since we're talking about my ex-girlfriend, I think wine should suit my mood better. 』 I took a sip of the Martini and it was cold in my mouth. Xiaoyun walked back to the center of the bar, and a man with a tie and silver-rimmed glasses also ordered a martini. "Please dry it out," he said. She smiled at me intentionally or unintentionally, and then made him another Martini. I picked up the glass of Martini in my hand, I don't know if it was dry or wet, and drank it slowly. "The drier the Martini, the less absinthe." When I looked up, Xiaoyun was already standing in front of me with a smile on his face.

It was just me and another man ordering a Martini at the bar. He is considered quiet, usually smoking a cigarette quietly by himself, and his movements of flicking the ash are very light. There are also two tables of guests in the store, the volume of chatting is very low, and sometimes they even shut up and listen to music at the same time. Xiaoyun was looking for some idle things to do in the bar, such as wiping the cups, swaying left and right. Sometimes she swayed in front of me, but she didn't speak. I guess she should still feel embarrassed. "I'm not here to lick my wounds, I just like the atmosphere here. 』

When Xiaoyun swayed in front of me for the third time, I opened my mouth, trying to resolve the embarrassment in the air. She didn't answer, stopped what she was doing, and smiled embarrassedly. 『Sworn vows should be out of the question, it’s just that it’s just a matter of time and money.As for the separation of Lao and Yan, Flying to the east and flying to the west, the meaning is correct; but I am a peacock, and I am used to flying to the southeast. 』 After I finished speaking, I found that the smile on Xiaoyun's mouth was natural, so I laughed along with it. "Actually, she only studied business management in graduate school and statistics in college. "I say.

"I've always studied business management." Xiaoyun finally said, "The same goes for the research institute." "Oh? 』 "Unexpected." She smiled, "A female bartender turned out to be a graduate of the graduate school." "That was not what I meant. 』 "I know." Xiaoyun took a small plate of snacks and put them in front of me. "She, like me, is a student of Chengda University. "I say. "Me too," she said. "Then maybe you know her." 』 "maybe." Xiaoyun shrugged, with an expression on his face that if you don't tell me, I won't ask.

"Ok. ’ I said, ‘For the sake of the free Martini, her name is Liu Weiting. 』 "She's a class above me, she's my senior." Xiao Yun said, "We're pretty close." "Really? "I'm surprised. "Yeah." She nodded. "What a coincidence. ’ I said, ‘Your brother is Rong An’s friend, and your senior sister is my ex-girlfriend. 』 "Sohrab of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology did a study in which two people were randomly selected in the United States and Assuming that each person knows 1,000 people on average, then the probability that these two people know each other is only 100,000

One of them, but the probability that these two people know a certain friend together is as high as one percent. " "Suppose you know a thousand people on average? ’ I said, ‘Seems like too much. 』 "Maybe." Xiao Yun smiled, "But the point of this research is that two completely strangers If two people bump into each other accidentally and find out that they have friends who know each other, it doesn't seem to be the same. Not as difficult as imagined. " "Your tone of voice resembles hers. ’ I smiled, ‘If she said that, I must I will ask her to reduce the assumption that she knows 1,000 people on average, and then convince me after recalculating the probability. 』

"Then how will she react?" "She should have smiled and told me not to take it too seriously. 』 "I think so." Xiao Yun said, "She has a good temper and has always been very popular in the department." "Yeah, she's really nice. 』 Picking up the wine glass, just as his lips touched the rim, he remembered that the Martini had already been drunk. I don't put the glass down, let it stick to my lips. "I think I should buy you another drink." Xiao Yun said. "why? 』I put down the glass. "Because I reminded you of something you wanted to forget."

"It's okay, it's a thing of the past. ’ I forced a smile, ‘And…’ "Ok?" "I can't forget it either. 』 Xiaoyun and I fell silent at the same time. I could almost hear the man ordering the martini exhale as he smoked. "I'll make you another Martini." She broke the silence first, then quickly put a martini in front of me and said: "From now on, I will keep my mouth shut and not say a word." After finishing speaking, she immediately covered her mouth with her left hand. I drank quietly, very slowly, recalling the time when I was with Wei Ting. It was indeed a happy and innocent day, even if it was not very happy and a little distorted later. Although I often feel that these memories seem to be a matter of my previous life, far away from the present me, But those clear and familiar feelings never cooled down. I should have finished the second glass of wine long ago, but my right hand still raised the glass mechanically, touched my lips, and raised my head. I don't know how long it took, but when I came back to my senses, I was the only one left at the bar, The other two tables of guests also disappeared. I got up and said to Xiaoyun, "I'm leaving." 』 I stagger when I move, maybe it's because of the alcohol, or my legs feel numb after sitting for too long? Xiaoyun still covered his mouth with his left hand, and waved goodbye to me with his right hand.
