On this quiet night at the "Passing Through the Night" bar, the time spent together by Chen Yi, Lin Fan, and Lin Wanqing feels particularly precious. Although the three of them are sitting in the same space and not speaking much, the invisible tacit understanding and deep emotions seem to fill the entire bar with warmth and a sense of security.
Lin Fan sits in a chair, holding the remote control in his hand, slowly and rhythmically switching TV channels. Various news headlines flash across the screen from time to time, but they seem to have little interest for him. He seems more inclined to find background music that can enhance the current atmosphere. Every movement of his exudes a sense of maturity and steadiness, as if in the long years, he has learned how to find his own rhythm in the pace of life.
Chen Yi and Lin Wanqing sat at the wooden dining table, both fully engrossed in enjoying their dinner. Chen Yi savored the exquisite taste of the Italian pasta, every bite prompting admiration. When he tasted the rich white sauce, his expression of amazement was unrestrained. He gratefully expressed to Lin Wanqing that this might be the most delicious Italian pasta he had ever eaten, and the texture and flavor of the white sauce left him pleasantly surprised and curious.
Upon hearing Chen Yi's praise, Lin Wanqing displayed a faint smile. Her smile carried a hint of playfulness and understanding, as if she was accustomed to Chen Yi's compliments. She gently replied, "You should learn from me and practice more." Although her words contained a hint of teasing, they also conveyed encouragement and care. In this simple conversation, the relationship between the two seemed clearer, with a sense of distance but also a unique understanding and mutual agreement.
The sound from the TV became a soft background melody, adding a special atmosphere to the evening. On such a night, Chen Yi deeply felt the warmth and stability here. Although there was still sadness about the past and uncertainty about the future in his heart, at this moment, he was able to temporarily set aside these worries and enjoy the time with Lin Fan and Lin Wanqing in this new family.
In the warm atmosphere, Chen Yi stood up and walked towards the bar area. His movements were smooth and confident, as if he had completely integrated into this environment. He took a bottle of high-quality whiskey from the shelf, the bottle shimmering enticingly in the light. Then, he took out three chilled glasses from the refrigerator, skillfully placing neatly cut large ice cubes into each glass and gently stirring with a stir stick. The ice cubes slid in the glasses, making a crisp collision sound, which sounded particularly pleasant in the quiet bar. As the ice cubes stirred, the temperature in the glasses gradually decreased, preparing for the pouring of the whiskey.
Then, Chen Yi carefully poured the dark whiskey into the glasses. The amber liquid flowed slowly in the glass, creating a subtle sound as it touched the ice, and releasing a deep aroma.
Chen Yi picked up the three glasses of whiskey, walked back to the dining table, and handed them to Lin Fan and Lin Wanqing respectively, then picked up one for himself. He raised his glass, his eyes shimmering with sincere gratitude. He looked deeply at Lin Fan and Lin Wanqing and said sincerely, "Thank you for accepting me. Over this past year, you have given my family warmth and a sense of security. I will never forget this kindness, and I will do my utmost to repay you."
Lin Fan and Lin Wanqing made eye contact and then raised their glasses in response. In this moment, Chen Yi's words were not only a thank-you to Lin Fan and Lin Wanqing, but also an affirmation of the support and guidance they had provided during this time. The whisky in the glasses not only represented his gratitude, but also symbolized the unspoken deep friendship between them. In this small bar, the memories they shared and their hopes for the future intertwined, creating a heartwarming and touching scene.
Chen Yi's gesture of raising his glass carried a sense of solemnity and gratitude, with his eyes expressing deep thanks to Lin Fan and Lin Wanqing. As the rich whisky slowly poured down his throat, he felt a warmth spreading from within, burning like a fire in his chest. The whisky dispersed in his mouth, releasing a deep and complex aroma, leaving a lasting impression on his senses with every breath.
Lin Fan looked at Chen Yi as he drank up so boldly, a hint of appreciation and affectionate smile appeared on his face. His gaze seemed to be reflecting on Chen Yi's growth and transformation over the past year. "You little rascal! Can you really hold your drink?" His words carried a friendly banter, but more so, it showed the affection of an elder towards a younger one. Then, Lin Fan also raised his own glass, as if responding to Chen Yi's boldness, and downed the whiskey in one gulp. His action appeared hearty and resolute, displaying the demeanor and temperament of an experienced bar owner.
On the other hand, Lin Wanqing's reaction was more delicate and intriguing. She watched the interaction between her father and Chen Yi, a faint smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of her mouth, but then she pretended to be angry, softly scolding her father, "Dad, don't be like this!" There was a hint of feigned seriousness in her eyes, but more so, it showed her appreciation for the teasing and understanding between her father and Chen Yi. She then glared at Chen Yi, her gaze carrying both reproach and warmth, as if silently saying, "Look at what you've done to my dad."
This kind of interaction is filled with a familial warmth and ease. The three of them at the bar, although not engaging in much verbal communication, convey deep emotions and understanding in every gesture and glance. Their relationship is like a small family, with each person playing their unique role in creating this cozy space together.
