When I walked into the box, I found that it was already full of people.

The next day was the torch relay, so naturally there were a lot more people coming to the KTV to party all night than usual. The big box was already full, and more than a dozen people from Xiao Kai's club had to helplessly squeeze into this small box, which also made the whole space seem extremely cramped.

Xiao Kai took me to say hello to the people in the box one by one, and everyone immediately squeezed hard to the sides, and finally moved a place that was enough for two people to sit.

I had never been in contact with anyone in Xiaokai's club, and I was unfamiliar with each other, so naturally I had nothing to say, so I simply sat there quietly and listened to them chat and sing. Just after 0:00, the waiter came in and said that there was a big box, and everyone immediately grabbed their belongings and followed the waiter to move their positions.

Walking into the large box, it obviously felt much more spacious, and those who wanted to sing ran to the front of the sofa to take up seats, while Xiao Kai and I sat on the bar behind the sofa.

I was bored playing with the dice in my hand alone, and after a while, I became confused. In a trance, I seemed to hear Xiao Kai chatting with the beautiful woman next to me, but when I woke up from a nap, the two of them were gone.

After waking up, I couldn't sleep anymore, lying on the bar counter bored, and suddenly received a text message from Xiao Kai: "Xiaobei, come out for supper, we are waiting for you at the crossroads." I didn't feel anything before, but when Xiao Kai said this, my stomach really began to growl, so I jumped out of the seat, pushed the door and walked out of the box.

When I left the KTV, I subconsciously looked down at the time, it was already more than 1 o'clock in the morning, and the street was very empty. A person walked slowly towards the crossroads, and the scene seemed to have a bit of déjà vu.

Trying to flip through the fragments of memory in my brain, I suddenly remembered that on Christmas Eve three years ago, I had also walked on this road with Huang Xin, and vaguely, I seemed to see Huang Xin's happy appearance when spraying perfume into the sky.

Three years have passed, and Huang Xin seems to have lost contact with him......

As soon as I crossed the intersection, I saw Xiao Kai waving to me from a distance, and the beautiful woman who had just chatted with him was also beside him. Running away with my legs, the late night at the beginning of summer still carried the faint chill of late spring, and this way down, not only did I not sweat a little, but I felt much warmer in an instant.

The three of them walked side by side on the deserted street, and the occasional passer-by did not stop their hurried steps, and soon disappeared from our sight. If it hadn't been for the torch relay, it might have been just an ordinary night.

Listening to Xiao Kaitian's nonsense all the way, I didn't feel bored, and it didn't take long for the food stalls to appear in front of us.

I could smell the rich aroma of cooked food from a distance, and I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. During the day, it is the most lively commercial center in the city, but at night, it turns into a food stall where all kinds of food gather.

The proprietors are in charge of the cooking, and the bottom of the pot is bubbling up, and all kinds of food are tumbling in the pot, and then one by one they are served to the diners sitting on the street.

We sat down in front of a stall selling oden, and Kai went to order something to eat, leaving me to sit there face to face with the beautiful woman. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

For some reason, it seems that since Lele left, I have been very afraid of this feeling of being alone with the opposite sex. Especially now, when facing a strange girl who has never met, it is certain that I am uncomfortable. I didn't dare to look up at her face, I just buried my head and used my phone to connect to the Internet.

Fortunately, Xiao Kai came back soon, he and the beautiful woman always seemed to have endless words, endless chats, and I was happy to have a leisurely time, eating steaming oden on the side, listening to the content of the two of them chatting, and then watching the time pass in front of me minute by minute.

After supper, we didn't bother to walk back, so we stopped a taxi. In the early morning, the road was empty and there were few cars, and the driver drove the car fast, and in less than five minutes, we returned to KTV.

When I walked into the box, I found that the people inside had basically fallen asleep, and only a few night owls were still tirelessly singing Chen Xiaochun's classic Cantonese song "Dedication".

This is a must-have track for Lele to go to KTV, familiar music, familiar melody, and that familiar memory......

At half past four in the morning, he was suddenly woken up by Xiao Kai from his sleep, and then followed the crowd to the hall on the first floor of KTV in a daze. The hall was brightly lit, full of people holding national flags and dressed as students, and the few sofa chairs were already full, even the floor steps were full of people. I was even more surprised to meet a few students from the preparatory department, who had come here to wait all night for the torch relay.

Just as everyone was getting together and doing nothing, someone in the group of Xiao Kai suddenly suggested that there was a car parade going on in the square where the torch relay started, and it was worth seeing.

Anyway, staying here is also staying, and after a little discussion, everyone nodded in agreement. A dozen of us then took four taxis at the entrance of the KTV and marched towards the square.

The closer we got to the square, the more cars there were, and soon our cars couldn't go any further. I can already see the high roof of the landmark building in the center of the destination square, but I can't get to it. After waiting in the car for a long time, watching the numbers on the timer keep jumping, we finally decided to get out of the car and walk.

After walking for about ten minutes, I found out the real reason for the traffic jam. I saw that the streets were full of people, and the intersections were blocked by the flow of people, although there were traffic police trying to maintain order, but it was only a drop in the bucket.

These people were probably all organized by nearby universities to watch the torch relay, they were either dressed in uniform or tied with the same red headband, and many crazy people had their faces and arms covered with the national flag and the logo of the Beijing Olympic Games.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of cheers in the distance, and everyone turned their heads and tiptoed to look over, and it turned out that the procession was heading here. From time to time, people poked their heads out of their windows, excitedly waving the national flag and the Beijing Olympic flag, and shouting like a tsunami with the people outside the car: "Come on, Beijing! Come on Olympics!"

It was a scene that will last a lifetime.
