一次省内的水处理学术联盟的小晚会,环境组里的学生全部出动,晃悠在灯光明亮的校园酒吧里,尝试着所谓的network。大多数的学生还是和自己的同学交谈,industry people和教授们坐在一起, 中国面孔的小孩坐在一起,期间穿插着英文,粤语和国语. network紧的地方进一步加紧,松的地方一如既往的断开着。
就在重要人物还没出场进行协会宣传的当儿,我去拿第二杯饮料,吧台边坐着我师兄Miles,他是个很潇洒的人,周末就在这个吧台打工。此时他端着一杯红酒,正和吧台内服务的高个女孩讲话。 吧台上还站着Jason。 我喜欢Jason这个人,他很聪明,他有一股锐气却又很友好。 我站到Jason旁边,他背对着我,正等自己的drink,我看见他手上两张饮料ticket,于是说:
”hey,how come you have so many."
他一转头,看见我,他的眼睛跟我的眼睛距离缩短到只有1尺,他没有让开一个礼貌的空间,回答
:“ well, because Pierre likes me." ( Pierre 是负责发ticket的教授)。
我知道Jason已经订婚,所以很安全的跟他开了一个暗示的gay玩笑:”
“ oh, I didn't know that."
"well, you didn't?"
"no, I didn't know that side of you,hengheng."
"oh, come on, .."
这时他的两杯啤酒上来了,一杯端到了我面前,我瞪大眼睛:”oh, no,..beer?" 漂亮的bartender说:“actually,those two are all for him." Jason抢过我手里的ticket,说;” let me get you a drink." Miles在远处笑。 我要orange Juice,Jason:“oh,come on, just orange juice? how about a screw driver on the top of that?" 我试图搞清楚那是什么成分,他已经转头跟bartender要了,我还在旁边抗议:” don't get me drunk." " no ,I won't." ,他然后回头告诉我那是 Vodaka,well, that's not too bad, I could handle vodaka.
突然之间,这种暧昧让我有点心慌,我本来要跟他聊聊他六月就要来的婚礼,但是看着他蓝眼睛里闪烁的微笑,我顿时多此一举的 觉得那个话题会让他的脸冻住,于是我有的没的看着他的两杯啤酒,知道有一杯是带给别人的(当然不是Pierre格外恩宠他多给他一杯),就提议:“ hey, Pierre is waiting for his drink."
"actually, the other one is for David"
"well, David is waiting for his drink."
” yeah,come sit with us,"
A flirt,on the bar, but not when we are hitting a club。 purposeless,resultless. it just happened, when I was still realizing that it was happening. It is weird.
然后我突然就又来了我那熟悉的恐惧,良心的强迫症:我就这么在一个bartender,我师兄的面前,flirt加被flirt了一把? 我怎么莫名其妙就flirt起来了呢? 我刚才第一杯是果汁而已。 我一个。。,
整天以纯洁为圣训的古板丫头,他一个25岁就订婚的典型好男生。。。
我只是庆幸,it was purposeless, how precious is innocence? but can anyone be innocent? I doubt.
