It was just dusk when Aoki returned to Liuying Alley.

There were already a few guests sparsely seated in the Ruhua Bar, and the new waiter was standing at the door to solicit customers. The facade is much brighter than before, and you can see the stage inside at a glance. Mo Yu sat on the stage holding the guitar and tuned, and Xiao Qi watched obsessively behind the bar counter.

Aoki walked in, leaned back lazily on the bar and said, "Here is a beer."

Xiao Qi calmed down and smiled: "Boss, don't you taste the cocktail I made?"

Aoki said, "Forget it, just your craft, I'd better drink beer."

Xiao Qi was not angry, and smiled and poured a glass of beer for Aoki. He pushed forward skillfully, and the glass slid over on the smooth table, just stopping in front of Aoki.

"I got the truth from the lady boss, and the guests said it was delicious!"

"It's Mo Yu that got the truth?" Aoki raised his glass and looked at Mo Yu on the stage and said, "Isn't there a band? Why did you make your daughter-in-law show up? Aren't you afraid of being abducted by the rich second generation?"

"Hey, who dares!" Xiao Qi said disdainfully, "Who dares to freeze the ground on Tai Sui's head? The lady boss agreed with me and Mo Yu!"

"Are you treating me as Empress Dowager Cixi!" Bi Shenghua came in through the back door and just heard Xiao Qi's words. She also sat down next to Aoki at the bar, "Come to a Margarita and see your craftsmanship."

Xiao Qi stuck out his tongue at Aoki and turned around to drink.

Ever since he saw Zhao Pengcheng's illusory second half of his life, when Aoki looked at the Lifetime Flower, it was a little different. He seemed to see the middle-aged woman with crow's feet in the corners of her eyes and sadness in her eyes, walking alone on the desolate Liuying Lane with a basket of vegetables.

It only took a moment to unfold the memory scene in the dream, but it was a real decade for that world. Life is short and prosperous. A woman dedicated her best years to a man lying in bed who could no longer wake up. Now he is back. And did she come back?

Aoki suddenly remembered what Duval had said, Situ was looking for evidence that World War II was false. He once thought how absurd this idea was. Now think about it, if a person was trapped in the zero-dimensional dream corridor before World War II, if one day he walked out, would time and space be drawn back to that era?

However, is he the only one to return, or will the whole world return because of him? It's like Qingmu is back, Zhao Pengcheng is back, but is the world that Zhao Pengcheng experienced really come back?

This is an unsolvable mystery, because neither Aoki nor Zhao Pengcheng can go into that world and take a look. And in that world, the flower that is aging gradually, where did it go in the end? Is she the same person as the flower of life in front of her?

Seeing Aoki always look at her all his life, the look in her eyes was strange, and he glared at her and said, "What are you looking at? I have written on my face?"

Aoki still stared blankly, as if admiring a rare treasure. Some rich things gradually appeared in his eyes, filling the air.

"Thank you!" he said.

"What?" Lifetime Hua looked puzzled, "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for staying with me and never forsaking. From today on, I will treat you well. When I have completed my mission, we will find an island and be together forever."

"Insane!" Bi Shenghua cursed lightly, looking at Aoki like a monster.

Aoki's expression was serious, his tone was sincere, and his eyes were hot. Bi Shenghua knew that he was not joking, her face flushed and her heart pounded unconsciously.

Xiao Qi, who was bartending the wine, let out a chuckle, and didn't dare to laugh too loudly, as if his stomach hurts.

There is a kind of viscous emotion in the air, like a glass of red wine infecting the evening sunset. Bi Sheng Hua couldn't bear it anymore, avoiding Qing Mu's eyes, said to Xiao Qi: "Take your wine well, what a smile!"

Xiao Qi smiled, put a cup of Marguerite on the bar, and blinked at the Lifetime Flower: "Today the sun has come out from the west, and the boss will talk about love. It's really a flower in the iron tree."

Bi Shenghua pretended to disdain and said: "Cut, I can hear this kind of words hundreds of times a day in a bar, and my ears are callused."

There were more people in the bar, Mo Yu sang on the stage, and the atmosphere became stronger. Bishenghua and Qingmu both drank in silence, while Xiao Qi concentrated on mixing drinks for the guests.

I don't know if it is because of alcohol or something else, Bi Shenghua's face is always glowing with the rosy color of fresh peach blossoms, and Aoki's eyes are full of thick, soft light.

Bi Shenghua didn't dare to look into Aoki's eyes, and cried secretly in her heart: Speak, you stupid! Say something, stop looking like that, say something else, while my heart is softened, while that **** crow is not here...

However, crows are everywhere.

"Quak, I'm blowing in the wind and sun outside, but you are enjoying the blessing here!"

The boss of Coal jumped out from there, flapped his wings and jumped onto the bar, walking around in front of Aoki and Bishenghua.

"I found it! I found it! Guagua...I'm so amazing! Guess how I found him in such a big city?"

He kept pacing on the bar counter and babbling, but there was no answer. He thought the atmosphere was a little weird, so he looked up. Seeing the blush on the boss’s face that has not yet completely faded, and seeing Aoki’s honeyed eyes, the crow seemed to understand something:

"Wow, is the sky falling? Like—flower—, hold on!"

Bi Shenghua stretched out her hand to beat him, and said with a smile, "Dead crow, I'm not hungry anymore, right?"

The crow croaked twice: "Is the sauce elbow ready?"

Bi Sheng Hua said: "Upstairs, eat by yourself."

The crow nodded calmly, jumped onto Aoki's hair, scratched Aoki's hair with his paws, craned his neck, and hung his head down~lightnovelpub.net~ and hung in front of Aoki and said, "Come on!"

Customers in the store were attracted by the funny crows and took out their phones to take pictures. The crow hurriedly blocked his face with his wings: "Oh, the rules here are that you can chat, you are not allowed to take pictures, and you are not allowed to post to Moments."

The guests laughed after a little coaxing.

Aoki grabbed the crow from his head and said, "You can become an internet celebrity if you swagger." He said to Bi Shenghua, "Go out for a walk."

Spend his life nodded and stood up with Aoki.

Crow was held in his arms by Aoki, and stretched out his head and shouted, "Qua, oh, lighten up! I can't breathe anymore! Wow, you should be holding the lady boss instead of me!"

After leaving the bar, the crow returned to Aoki's head. The evening breeze softened the feathers around his neck. He looked down at Aoki, then at the life flower, and said, "I'll go eat the elbow with sauce."

Aoki asked, "What did you just say you found?"

Coal boss said: "That stupid cat quack."

"Sound?" Aoki knew the importance of cats to poppies, "Where is it?"

The boss of Coal said: "I was taken in by a kind old lady. It was not easy to take him out during the day. I plan to pick him up in the middle of the night. Oh, yes, something happened to that old lady."

Bi Sheng Hua said: "This is an important matter, go and pick it up now, don't make any extravagance."
