Chu Xun Walking on the road out of the village, the village lights were sparse, and at this time, the dusk made the night even darker.
To dispel the melancholy in his heart, Chu Xun whistled a bitter tune as he walked. He passed through layer after layer of night, slowly making his way to the bustling night market. After walking for more than ten minutes, he could already see some lights nestled among a colorful array of billboards.
The light fell into his eyes, brighter than the lights elsewhere, it was his workplace, the bar.
He walked to the front of the bar, without stopping, opened the door and quickly went in.
"I'm here, uncle Kun!"
Chu Xun changed into her work uniform in the dressing room, then walked to the bar counter and spoke to the middle-aged man sitting behind it.
The middle-aged man held a cigarette in his hand, sitting in a chair with his legs straight on another chair, lazily leaning against the bar, leisurely watching an unknown soap opera on TV. He had a foil perm and was wearing a colorful shirt, with a style quite similar to Chu Xun.
The middle-aged man, Kun, took a satisfying drag of his cigarette without looking up. He waved his hand in response to Chu Xun's greeting, then continued to chuckle at the plot of the TV drama. This middle-aged man named Kun was also one of the bar's owners and the young man who had treated Chu Xun's broken leg years ago.
Later, he stayed with the old man and together they opened a bar. One of them managed the coffee shop during the day, and the other looked after the bar at night.
More than ten years have passed, and he, who used to be a young man who loved watching soap operas, has become a middle-aged man who still loves watching soap operas.
At least in Chu Xun's eyes, uncle Kun hasn't changed anything except for his age. Even though he was a bachelor over a decade ago, he is still single to this day.
Chu Xun wasn't in the mood for much idle chatter with uncle Kun, and began preparing for the evening bar business. Before long, the colleagues who worked the evening shift started to arrive one by one. Chu Xun and the colleagues first checked the use and damage of various electrical appliances, equipment, and furniture in the bar, then began cleaning the bar. They wiped the bar with a damp cloth, sprayed it with wax to make it shine, dusted the refrigerators, wiped the bottles and cans clean, and finally disinfected the glasses and barware. After finishing the cleaning, they checked the inventory of various items in the bar and replenished the bar's raw materials. Then Chu Xun assisted the bartender in arranging the drinks, separating them by price and type, and placing suitable glasses in the bar area to enhance the atmosphere.
The preparations were busy, and the bar slowly welcomed the opening hours of the day. At first, only a few people entered, but as the night deepened, more and more guests arrived.
People sat in twos and threes, leisurely raising their glasses and clinking them with their neighbors. The liquid in the glasses swayed and rolled with the movement. The bar's lights rotated and flowed, creating a hazy and enchanting atmosphere. The flowing light occasionally fell into the glasses, reflecting intoxicating colors.
In the central area of the bar is a dance floor, while the corner serves as a performance area. The middle-aged man who loves watching soap operas, uncle Kun, often invites unknown underground bands to perform in order to attract business. To liven up the atmosphere and enhance interaction with the bar's customers, they have also added a segment where bar patrons can perform on stage.
At this time, the resident band is already in place, and the performance begins!
"Devote my youth to the brilliant city behind me..."
"Wish to elope with you, heading towards the most distant town..."
"I want to elope with you, to be the happiest person... Elope, elope, elope."
The passionate rock music suddenly blared, igniting the atmosphere of the bar. Many young men and women put down their glasses, stepped into the dance floor, and crazily twisted their bodies to the rhythm of the music, releasing the energy that was not exhausted during the day.
Chu Xun has long been accustomed to this scene, carrying a tray and shuttling through the crowd, orderly greeting guests, and occasionally casting glances at the young girls with revealing outfits and hot figures, feasting his eyes.
After a few exciting rock songs, the lead singer of the resident band took a bottle of water handed by Chu Xun, took a big gulp, and then went offstage to rest. Chu Xun casually took the microphone from the singer's hand and walked to the performance area. The guest performance segment was about to begin.
He cleared his throat and brought his mouth close to the microphone.
"Good evening, everyone! It's time for our daily guest performance. In the past, many audience members have come up to sing and brought us joyful experiences. I wonder who will come up today and sing a song for us?"
Chu Xun With many skills, he also took on the job of hosting the intermission. When the music stopped, the people on the dance floor also stopped moving. They looked at the handsome waiter on the stage, many eager to try, but then looked at the people around them, and for a moment, there was no action.
"I'm here, this old lady will go first!"
