"Little Wei." Every time Yang Haozhong was in a bad mood, he would go to the bar counter to talk to Dewey. His classmates in the university could not understand the thoughts of people like him. They had the halo of being favored by the heavens above their heads and had no language to communicate with.
"When do you think we'll be able to stand out?”Yang Haozhong was dispirited.
"What? Haha." Dewey was very excited when he heard this question and said,""Have you heard of the Three Legs?" Yang Haozhong shook his head.
"This is a test to see if you have a chance.”Although Yang Haozhong never believed in Dewey's nonsense, it didn't hurt to listen to it now. He winked at Dewey, signaling him to continue.
"The first is to rely on your parents. He had a father who was an official and went straight to the main road. You didn't, did you?" Yang Haozhong nodded.
"The second is my husband. "You won't have a chance in this lifetime, unless…" Dewey's lewd smile provoked Yang Haozhong to beat him up.
"The third is to rely on yourself."
"I can do that." Yang Haozhong had expected Dewey to say this.
Dewey shook his head and said," This is basically no future. The probability of winning is basically the same as buying a lottery ticket.”
Yang Haozhong lowered his head and thought about it. He was no longer a bookworm in an ivory tower. In the past four years, he had worked part-time as a bar waiter and had seen too many people. How could it be so simple in this world? Relying on oneself…Hehe, it was almost impossible if no one gave him a chance.
"Sigh. Let me tell you something. It might be a good opportunity!”Dewey suddenly said nervously.
"Hmm? What opportunity?" Yang Haozhong looked at him suspiciously.
"Do you remember the Northeasterner who has been coming here recently? Boss Wang!"
Yang Haozhong shook his head. He did not have a deep impression of her.
"Aiya, you only know how to mingle with women.”
"What are you talking about?" Yang Haozhong grabbed Dewey's front lapel. He hated it when people classified him as a certain kind of person. Working here was most afraid of such misunderstandings.
"Alright, alright. Let's not talk about you anymore." Dewey slapped Yang Haozhong's hand away, pulled at his wrinkled clothes, and continued,""Boss Wang is a popular person in the bar now. He's very generous. He often comes to the bar to drink. You didn't notice, did you? I served him many times, and he said he admired me.”Dewey puffed out his chest proudly.
"Oh." Yang Haozhong said calmly.
"Don't just say 'oh'. He came here for an inspection and wanted to invest in a bar here. Now that the discussion had been settled, they began to look for employees. He thought highly of me and said that my style of speech was good. I was afraid that I would be buried here. It was not a problem for me to be a foreman at his place. Do you think I should give this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity a try?”
Dewey was so serious that Yang Haozhong was happy for him. The people who worked here did not have many opportunities to be appreciated. Those self-righteous rich kids and high-ranking officials treated the service staff here as inferior animals. If someone could give Dewey a chance, why not? Perhaps this would change his fate.
"You might as well give it a try. It's a rare opportunity, so you have to seize it as soon as possible.”Yang Haozhong patted Dewey's shoulder to encourage him.
"Yang, Dewey. You two are slacking off again." Chen Xing came over to reprimand him with an ugly expression." You two kids are fishing in troubled waters together. Don't stick together in the future."”
Yang Haozhong and Dewey stuck out their tongues and were caught again. They probably went to work for nothing today.
Yang Haozhong quickly ran back to the inner court, ready to make some extra money. Dewey would only be scolded if he was trapped there.
When he returned home, Yang Haozhong was already slightly drunk. The cool breeze of the early morning blew, and the alcohol that suppressed the bottom of his stomach began to surge. He finally understood why those drunkards were so addicted to alcohol. After drinking, one would walk as fast as flying and feel as if they were floating in the air. They would forget everything, and all their worries and depression would be thrown to the back of their minds. He staggered up the stairs. The stairwell was messy, and the junk was kicked around by him. He playfully put his finger to his mouth and blew."Shh…don't make a fuss! Silence! He would be scolded. " Hehe…" He mumbled incoherently and moved to the door. He took out the key and looked for the keyhole with the faint moonlight outside the house. His trembling hands could not find the damn hole. "Damn it, what are these damn hands doing tonight? They're shaking so badly. I might as well chop it up." He cursed alone. The door creaked open. Wei Ling stood at the door with her back against the dim light in the room. She was sacred and inviolable. Yang Haozhong's lips curled into a bitter smile. He had once overestimated himself and naively thought that as long as he loved her, she would be happy. However, this kind of destitute love was worthless in the unusually cruel reality.
"Why are you drunk again?" Wei Ling frowned slightly and dragged him in.
She often worked in three shifts, and they were not fixed shifts. Her parents could not control her private life, so she often came to Yang Haozhong's place to spend the night.
"Hehe, there are too many guests. I drank it for the tip." Yang Haozhong gently pushed her away and walked into the room.
"You got yourself drunk just for tips?" she said unhappily.”
Her words were like cold lake water that made Yang Haozhong's entire body become alert. Yang Haozhong slowly turned around and glanced at her. She took a step back in fear. Yang Haozhong continued to take off his clothes to cover it up. She did not care about the money. Even if he drank himself to death, he would not rely on tips to provide for her current family.
"I'm sorry, I just don't want you to drink so much.”Wei Ling sensitively realized that Yang Haozhong's words just now stung her. She went forward and put her hand on his back in repentance.
Yang Haozhong was silent. He felt that he had no right to forgive her. He should be the one apologizing.
"Don't mind my parents, okay? I hope you can understand their painstaking efforts and my feelings for you.”She leaned on Yang Haozhong's back and told him the purpose of her visit tonight.
"It's nothing. If I have a daughter, I also hope that she can marry a rich and powerful man. That is the foundation of her happiness in life.”Yang Haozhong said calmly," I'm too self-righteous. I can't give you a good life at all…"
Wei Ling suddenly covered his mouth. Her entire body trembled slightly as she kept shaking her head. Tears streamed down her face. Her weakness could always move the weakest part of Yang Haozhong's nerves. Yang Haozhong felt extremely guilty.
She didn't say anything and choked on her sobs, while Yang Haozhong didn't move. His heart ached.
"Xiao Yang, my heart hurts." After she calmed down, she finally spoke. She was like a drowning person who was struggling on the verge of death. She hugged Yang Haozhong's waist tightly like he was driftwood." You're like Poppy, the only painkiller I have now." I can't lose you."
Yang Haozhong held her cold hand and turned around to look at her small face, which was covered in tears. He gently wiped her tears. Her charming little eyes were like a spring, and tears kept flowing out!
"Xiaoling, I'm like a poppy. I can only relieve pain temporarily. You should know that I'll only lead you to a worse place. I'm poisonous. I thought that as long as I saw you smile and you were happy, I would be satisfied. Now I know that your smile hides too much of my heavy burden.”
"No, I can't! It's not like that." She covered her ears and refused to listen to Yang Haozhong continue to tell her the truth." I don't care. I don't care where I live every day, what I eat and wear every day. I just want to be with you!”
Yang Haozhong could not control her madness. She had invested too much love in Yang Haozhong. In love, the more love one gave, the more one would become a slave to their feelings. How many heavy shackles did she bear in her love for Yang Hao?
How could Yang Haozhong bear to see her in such pain? He had once vowed to give her happiness. Yang Haozhong hugged her tightly and held her in his arms, hiding her in the safest place in his heart. He didn't want her to be so sad again.
