The taxi stopped at the entrance of the bar, Ning Yiwei and Zhou Zirui got out of the car, bravely passed by a row of black men in suits at the entrance, followed the two guests timidly, paid the entrance fee and walked in.

As soon as the door was opened, laser smoke surged up with a strong sound wave, enveloping Ning Yiwei and Zhou Zirui.

The DJ on the stage was playing the warm-up set, and there weren't too many people on the dance floor, but the large area of ​​darkness and the pungent smell of tobacco and alcohol in the air still made Ning Yiwei and Zhou Zirui close together.

After standing at a loss in the lobby for about 2 minutes, Ning Yiwei took the first step bravely. He grabbed a waiter casually and asked where there was a seat.

The waiter was slightly taken aback, and after communicating with his colleagues, he took them to an unreserved booth.

Ning Yiwei took the wine list and looked at it for a while, but couldn't distinguish the type of sake, so he ordered a champagne set meal, which was full of low consumption.Zhou Zirui didn't say a word the whole time, huddled next to Ning Yiwei, staring blankly at the crowd dancing on the dance floor.

When the waiter left, Zhou Zirui clung to Ning Yiwei's ear and said nervously, "Yiwei, how long shall we stay?"

Ning Yiwei piled up the schoolbags of the two of them, thought for a while, and said, "You have to finish your food, don't waste it."

Not long after, the wine and snacks were put on the table. The waiter probably saw that they were too discordant with the industry, so he thoughtfully mixed a few glasses of wine with green tea and explained: "It will taste better if you mix it together. a little."

There were more people in the store, and the waiter went to another place. The two looked at each other for a while, and Zhou Zirui asked Ning Yiwei: "Who will drink first?"

Ning Yiwei took a glass, put it to his lips, smelled some weird rum, and moved the glass away again, asking Zhou Zirui: "Let's drink together."

So Zhou Zirui also picked up a glass, and the two raised their glasses slowly at the same time, and took a sip.

The familiar taste of iced green tea drink was suddenly mixed with the smell of alcohol, like the taste of the drink, which made Ning Yiwei feel very insecure. He went to see Zhou Zirui with the wine in his mouth, and found that Zhou Zirui had already swallowed the wine first Go down, although the expression is not very good-looking.

Ning Yiwei sucked it in for a while longer before he overcame his psychological barrier and swallowed the wine with difficulty, and said to Zhou Zirui with a bitter face: "It's too bad to drink."

"Indeed, indeed," Zhou Zirui put down his glass, agreed with Ning Yiwei, and asked again, "Yiwei, why did you come to the bar all of a sudden?"

Ning Yiwei reached out and took a strawberry, stuffed it into his mouth, and gave Zhou Zirui another one.

"I can't tell," Ning Yiwei said vaguely, "I just want to take a look."

A few years ago, Liang Chong was still studying at D University and lived off-campus. The house was very close to Ning Yiwei's high school attached to D University. Ning Yiwei always went to Liang Chong's house to check things online.

Liang Chong had a bad friend, surnamed Wang, one time when he came back to Liang Chong's house, he dragged Liang Chong to the bar, saying that someone was waiting for Liang Chong.Liang Chong shirks that it is inconvenient to take care of Ning Yiwei's food.

Ning Yiwei heard it from the side, so he casually asked what the bar was for and who was waiting for Liang Chong.

Liang Chonggu talked about other things, and refused to answer directly.And the friend surnamed Wang smiled very ambiguously, and asked Ning Yiwei if he really wanted to know.Ning Yiwei nodded seriously and thought about it, but before the bad friend had time to speak, he was chased away by Liang Chong with a black face.

Ning Yiwei wanted to ask further questions, but Liang Chong pushed him back: "Read the book obediently."

Seeing Liang Chong coming to pick up Kong Xun, Ning Yiwei suddenly remembered this for some reason, so he resolutely decided to come and find out.

Who knew that the wine in the bar was not good, the fruit types were scarce, and the intense environmental noise exceeded [-] decibels, which made Ning Yiwei, who was already restless, even more restless, and made him ponder over and over again how Liang Chong knew why he came here. The school picked up Kong Xun, why didn't he tell himself why he came to school secretly, and he didn't want to call Liang Chong to find out.

Liang Chong never opened the car door for him, so there is no obligation to report the itinerary to him.

Zhou Zirui didn't notice anything wrong with Ning Yiwei, he thought the fruit in this store was delicious, so he reached out and took another piece of pineapple.

After he took a bite, the screen of Zhou Zirui's phone on the table lit up. He wiped his hands, picked up the phone, and saw the content of the email, and his spirit was shocked immediately.He tugged the sulking Ning Yiwei, and handed the phone under Ning Yiwei's eyes: "Yi, Yiwei, read this RMP!"

"What——" Ning Yiwei looked intently, and also showed joy, leaving Liang Chong and Kong Yan behind, "latticeQCD, let me take a look."

The top DJ came on time and lit up the whole bar. Dazzling laser beams flickered and circled on the crowded dance floor, confetti fell from the sky, and men and women leaned against each other, twisting their waists, swinging their hips and arms.The people sitting on the dance floor card and the booth seemed to be confused by alcohol and electronic music, laughing loudly and flirting face to face.

Although the occasion was not suitable, Ning Yiwei and Zhou Zirui still turned on the flashlight of their mobile phones, read a new article in a physics review journal together, and had an in-depth discussion.

High-energy physics is Zhou Zirui's greatest interest. He couldn't stop talking at the beginning. He even drank several glasses of champagne in the middle. This review spreads out and discusses with Ning Yiwei some of his views on contemporary high-energy physics in depth.

When it was close to 10:30, the fruit plate was gone, and Zhou Zirui had drunk too much. He finally stopped, yawned, and said to Ning Yiwei, "Yiwei, I, I'm a little sleepy."

Ning Yiwei also had a headache from the prolonged high-decibel noise, so he hired a waiter to pay for it.

The waiter handed the bill to Ning Yiwei, and Ning Yiwei patted Zhou Zirui's heavy head that was leaning on his shoulder, and said "don't sleep yet", then took the bill and took out his wallet, only to realize that it was not good.

The card his parents gave him was left at home and he forgot to take it.

Fortunately, Ning Yiwei always carried a lot of cash, so he took out a wad of cash from his wallet, and started counting in embarrassment in front of the waiter. After counting the last bill, it was still 350 yuan short of the amount due on the bill. .

"Zirui, do you have any money?" Ning Yiwei pushed Zhou Zirui, Zhou Zirui was woken up by him, looked up in a daze, and slowly took out 300 yuan from his schoolbag: "Only these..."

"Where's the card?" Ning Yiwei asked him.

Zhou Zirui shook his head: "No, I didn't bring it."

Ning Yiwei put Zhou Zirui's 300 yuan on the leather account book, which was still fifty yuan short.

"Mobile payment is available." The waiter couldn't help reminding.

Zhou Zirui said disdainfully: "We don't have mobile payment, we just pay in cash." Both of them distrust mobile payment very much, and their bank cards have never been linked to any financial platform.

Ning Yiwei grabbed the wallet, and suddenly remembered that Liang Chong gave him a credit card a long time ago, but he stuffed it in the inner pocket of the wallet without taking it out.

Struggling inwardly, he opened the inner pocket and saw that the dark gray card was lying inside.

"Sir?" the waiter asked politely.

Ning Yiwei took out the card with resentment, and handed it to the waiter: "There are fifty left to swipe this card."

Three minutes later, Liang Chong called.

Ning Yiwei picked it up.

"Why is the sun coming out from the west today, finally willing to swipe the card," Liang Chong obviously had a drink, and his voice was louder than usual, but the environment he was in seemed to be very quiet without any noise. He asked the people around him, "Laila, What can I buy for 50 yuan now? Where is this place—Emperor Sky Entertainment Management Co., Ltd.?"

A female voice did not know what to say, Liang Chong fell silent almost immediately, after a few seconds, Liang Chong's voice became gloomy, he asked Ning Yiwei: "Where are you?"

Ning Yiwei hesitated for a second, then hung up the phone.
