She has always been starting, always walking on the road of beginning. Children like Wu Tianbo, who grew up following the rules, cannot understand Ning. What attracts him is the freedom to forcibly break through the shackles of social norms. The word "freedom" seems to be straightforward, but there is always a bit of ambiguity. Obviously, Ning is the exception in life.
"Do you want to try my special blend?" This was the first time she had actively invited him. Wu Tianbo nodded in surprise, and also made a note of the time point 10.14 in his memo.
He frequented the old coffee shop, subtly inquiring with other staff members, and finally found out that Ning had resigned and been hired as a bartender at a newly opened bar.
She learns quickly, although she doesn't like coffee or alcohol. Ning only sees coffee and alcohol as basic job responsibilities to work hard at, but work is undoubtedly an important chapter in the story of life.
She can keep a straight face, maintain her arms at a 45-degree angle, and shake the ice pot for a full three minutes, with perfect timing. The measuring cup has no spout, but she still handles the Ning with ease. The small bar can't afford an expensive ice maker, so all the ice cubes and spheres are made using a thermos and a refrigerator, surprisingly with good quality.
He finds Ning to be quite magical, as she seems to have mastered an interesting life-hack for reducing stress.
Upon receiving this B52 cocktail, Wu Tianbo tentatively took a small sip. His initial reaction was that it was very sweet, followed by a strong spiciness. The base alcohol seemed to be a high-proof vodka, with hints of citrus and concentrated lemon juice flavor. It had a somewhat imprecise taste of Sprite. "I don't really understand alcohol," he said firmly, bracing himself and confessing the truth to meet her expectant gaze.
To his surprise, Ning began to applaud vigorously, saying, "That's right! How could someone who understands alcohol enjoy cocktails?"
He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief for some reason.
However, following her words, Wu Tianbo's heart immediately hung high again, like a sickle hanging above the moon, and a big red lantern always shines outside the door.
"This guest, do we often meet..." Ning actually noticed him, so is there a possibility that Ning also pays attention to him outside of work? Wu Tianbo felt that his current thoughts were very strange. He was indeed preparing a new psychological research report on a new group, and he encountered Ning as a special and unique case, so he couldn't help but get closer. Ning was his research subject. But it seems like she's studying him as well.
He hasn't obtained her consent for this research, which of course doesn't meet professional requirements. But Wu Tianbo thought he was handling it naturally, and he just wanted to observe Ning in the unknown.
Sometimes he is so exhausted that he feels like he could fall asleep immediately with his eyes closed, and drift away into a dream. He doesn't even have time to take a hot bath before getting caught in the dilemma of the sofa and soft pillows. Life is so strange, and when he opens his eyes again, it seems like nothing has happened, just like the miracle of a game insider that will never have bugs.
Under the simple questioning attack of Ning, this gentleman was unexpectedly frightened and fled in panic, leaving behind a wristwatch. It was an ordinary silver wristwatch, shining with a cold metallic luster, much like the impression this person left on her - for some reason, he always seemed to deliberately appear very distant as a regular customer.
"What kind of person is he?" Ning wondered.
"What kind of person is she, really?" he wondered.
Wu Tianbo After drinking half a can of pineapple beer, he started writing his investigation report at lightning speed. In the acknowledgments section, he inexplicably input two unfamiliar words "Dan, Ning." As soon as he submitted the document, due to lack of material, his supervisor criticized him harshly - "The story is really well written, do you want to submit it to Yilin magazine?"
In that case, he might as well write ancient novels. He casually glanced at the ancient human novels that filled his two large bookshelves.
He doesn't have any other hobbies besides reading ancient novels, especially, he loves to read "Dream of the Red Chamber" and "The Golden Lotus". The novel world is so colorful and unbelievable, with all kinds of abnormal actions, various exaggerated legends, thousands of mountains and rivers, thousands of hardships, and countless ways and words that cannot be fully described.
As the pinnacle of ancient novels, "Dream of the Red Chamber" has countless fans and researchers, needless to say.
However, unlike the romanticized portrayal of Emperor Yang of Sui, in relative terms, it is not very presentable. The Emperor in this book is portrayed as indulging in extravagance, preferring beautiful women over ruling the country. He is not satisfied with having three palaces and sixteen gardens as a ruler, and instead embarks on massive construction projects such as the Grand Canal, causing great suffering and discontent among the people. Eventually, he is overthrown by the "army of justice." Wu Tianbo has little interest in history and even less interest in the game of power. What attracts him in this book are just a few plot points.
He cares most about humanity and is eager to observe the human heart.
