Ren Pingsheng looked at the business card in his hand under the street lamp, the high-grade ice white pearlescent paper floor was printed with fine engraving in red font, and the business card also had a faint aroma, and the title under Gao Yuanyuan's name was "Vice President of Hanhai International Group".

Many people tried their best to climb the big tree of Gao Yuanyuan, but they gave Ren Pingsheng, who had done nothing, the first place, but he was not very excited, he just felt at a loss.

He didn't know Gao Yuanyuan's intention to give him his contact information, whether he thought Ren Pingsheng was useful to her, or simply wanted to help his classmates, but in any case, this was not what Ren Pingsheng wanted.

Ren Pingsheng stuffed his business card into his shirt pocket, looked at his watch, and walked out with a quicker pace.

At this time, it was already 8:10 in the evening, and the bus back to Hanzhou City scheduled by Ren Pingsheng was 8:40, and he had no time to say goodbye to his classmates.

In fact, there is no need to say goodbye.

As soon as he got on the online car-hailing called by Didi, Ren Pingsheng immediately urged the driver to hurry up to the station, fortunately, the route to Hongqiao Station at this time was not blocked, and the Didi driver also worked hard to cooperate, and he rushed all the way to the train station, which was already around 8:30 in the evening.

Seeing that the departure time was approaching, Ren Pingsheng got off the online car-hailing service, pulled his legs and ran to the entrance of the station, and when he finished the security check and entered the station, the G7383 bullet train was also close to departure, and he had to run on the carriage with the strength of a 100-meter sprint, so there was no passive car to throw off.

Ren Pingsheng bought a first-class seat this time, and the carriage was located at the back of the driver's cab, except for a fat girl opposite who kept chewing snacks in her mouth, the room was quite quiet.

Ren Pingsheng looked out the window, tonight's night was perfect, the moonlight seemed to be laid along the railway, presenting the scenery along the line one by one, and the silhouettes of the city and mountains and rivers that were constantly passing outside the carriage suggested that the bullet train was constantly accelerating.

Since the major accident in 2011, the speed of the EMU has slowed down considerably, and the train can only reach a maximum speed of 250 km/h on the busiest route on China's eastern coast, and it takes about an hour to reach Hanzhou.

In another 1 hour, Ren Pingsheng will return to the city where he has lived for more than ten years, and return to the kind of comfortable, comfortable but monotonous and boring life.

Ren Pingsheng didn't notice it, the moonlight outside the carriage gradually dimmed, the dark clouds piled up in the night sky more and more, and the G7383 bullet train was speeding like a white arrow in the dark countryside.

The fat girl opposite was already leaning on the chair with her back to the sky, the snacks in her hand fell on the table, her lips were open and she was snoring, this snoring sound seemed to be contagious, which disturbed Ren Pingsheng a little drowsy.

The day's travel, the drunkenness of alcohol, and the loss of disillusionment, these factors are mixed together, like a nightmare surrounding Ren Pingsheng, making him physically and mentally exhausted and powerless to resist.

The night outside the carriage was already deeper, the moon had long since disappeared, there was a rolling stone sound in the dark clouds, and the raindrops the size of beans were sprinkled on the white body like machine guns, and the G7383 bullet train was still moving forward rapidly, without slowing down at all.

Ren Pingsheng felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, he seemed to have returned to the campus ten years ago, standing beside the golden lake of the Champions League on campus, blowing the warm lake breeze, he could smell the fragrance of warbler flowers in his nose, and the sound of cicadas in his ears was short and short.

In front of me, I seemed to see myself wandering on the shore of the Golden Lake again, and the girl who walked hand in hand with me in the grass.

The girl is always dressed in a white dress, her long black waist-length hair flutters in the wind, and she has a fresh and pleasant fragrance on her body, which makes Ren Pingsheng's heart and liver ripple, and her eyes are as bright and clear as night stars, which can dispel every haze in Ren Pingsheng's heart.

Her smile was full of beauty, as soft, clear and ubiquitous as a full moon, enveloping Ren Pingsheng from head to toe, from every inch of his body, every pore to the blood, bone marrow and heart.

With a loud "boom", an extremely fast lightning split the dark clouds, with dazzling white light and a powerful current hit the body of the G7383 bullet train, and the light and heat generated by the friction between the current and the steel instantly expanded, forming an unfathomable black hole in the wilderness, swallowing the white bullet train cars one by one.

Ren Pingsheng's eyes were pitch black, all the light was gone, even the sound was swallowed up by the darkness, people didn't know where they were, he seemed to be groping in a long and wide tunnel, unable to distinguish between east and west, north and south, everything around him was empty, but there was a force pulling him, like being stuck in a muddy swamp, staggering.

I don't know the time, I don't know the direction, I just groped for a long time, Ren Pingsheng vaguely felt that there was a voice calling his name in his ear, the voice was both familiar and unfamiliar, a bit like Zuo Xiaoxiao, a bit like Gao Yuanyuan, and a bit like a woman he didn't know at all, he grabbed this sound and walked in the direction of the sound.

The voice was getting closer and clearer, and he finally found the source of the sound, as if it was coming from overhead, and he struggled to jump upward, but this time it was like floating in the water, and he paddled his arms upwards with all his might, and his feet continued to pedal with the movement of treading water, and his body gradually rose upward, and gradually realized that some light was revealed on the top.

As the body swam, the light became brighter and closer, and the darkness around him gradually dissipated, and the force that bound the body was broken free one by one.

The first thing to regain was hearing, the sound of noisy car exhaust pipes, the sound of pedestrians chatting as they walked, the sound of roadside vendors hawking, the chirping of cicadas in the trees, and the female voice repeatedly calling her name.

Then the senses of sight, smell, and touch also recovered one by one, as if the signal of an old-fashioned picture tube TV drama was turned on, and the colors in front of me changed from snowflakes to black and white and then to color, dusty streets, bustling crowds, the smell of stinky tofu fried in a pan, the hot wind rolled up by the car, and the unique humidity in the hot summer night, making people feel as if they were immersed in hot water, sweaty and wet, so uncomfortable.

"Ren Pingsheng, Ren Pingsheng, wake up!" The female voice was as clear as calling in her ears, igniting Ren Pingsheng like an electric current, making him tremble all over.

Ren Pingsheng was like a drowning person surfaced, raised his head suddenly, and saw a bright moon in the night sky, the moon was unusually big and round, and the moonlight sprinkled on everything like velvet, as if enveloping Ren Pingsheng in it.

This moon is so familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere and when. After a long period of darkness, this idea first came to Ren Pingsheng's mind, and then he recalled it.

"Where am I?" Ren Pingsheng looked around, trying to find an answer, but the surrounding environment was very unfamiliar.

A two-way, four-lane asphalt road is potholed, surrounded by old and dilapidated houses, rows of temporary stalls occupy half of the road, and young people in shorts and shorts are gathered in front of the food stalls.

What puzzled Ren Pingsheng was that the students on the roadside were all vigorous and youthful, but they were all dressed a little outdated, as if they were popular brands and styles more than ten years ago.

"Ren Pingsheng!" the female voice sounded again.

Ren Pingsheng followed the source of the sound, a girl with short hair and a round face stood in front of her, her facial features were plain, the bangs with short hair in the middle were clamped obliquely on the side with a plastic hairpin, the skin was neither white nor black, it was the kind of sallow that lacked blood, there was a pair of glasses under the wide forehead, but the eyes behind the thick lenses were very bright and clear, looking at him with concern and anxiety.

"Who is she?" this is the second question that comes to Ren Pingsheng's mind, and this answer is not difficult.

Ren Pingsheng tried hard to correspond the female voice he heard in the dark with the girl in front of him, and the long-dusty memory in his mind gradually unraveled, and he was depressed to find that it was not Zuo Xiaoxiao or Gao Yuanyuan who woke him up, but the girl in front of him.

Her name is Shi Xiaolian, and she is also a classmate of Class 02 Economics and Management 3. Shi Xiaolian is a native of FH County, Xiangchu Province, although she comes from Xiangxi, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, but she does not have the water spirit of the Xiangchu sister, she has been unknown in the four years of college, although her academic performance is always among the best, and from time to time she writes some poems and prose published in the school magazine, which can be described as a little talented. But I don't know if it's because of her appearance or personality, there aren't many boys pursuing her in the four years of college, and she is usually very quiet and shy, growing alone in the corner like a little grass.

But Ren Pingsheng hasn't seen her for a long time, I heard that she went to a remote area to teach after graduation, and rarely contacted her classmates, and over time, her classmates forgot about her existence.

"But, how can she be here?" A third question came to Ren Pingsheng's mind, and he opened his eyes wide to observe Shi Xiaolian carefully, wanting to find the answer from her.

"Are you feeling better? Shi Xiaolian took out a handkerchief and put it in Ren Pingsheng's hand, pointing to his shirt and gesturing.

Ren Pingsheng looked down, only to find that there was a pile of vomit on the ground of the cement pier in front of him, and the shirt on his body was also sticky a lot, was this all his own vomit?

He took the handkerchief handed by Shi Xiaolian, this handkerchief was pure cotton, embroidered with small blue flowers at the corners, soft and light to the touch, and with the fragrance of soap washing.

Do people still use handkerchiefs now? I'm afraid that they will be treated like giant pandas, and Shi Xiaolian can't be crossed over by ancient people.

Ren Pingsheng held the clean handkerchief, a little hesitant, afraid of getting dirty, and afraid that the girl would be careful, after all, people are also kind.

In the end, he still chose to wipe off the stains on his shirt with a handkerchief, and the original white handkerchief was suddenly dirty, Ren Pingsheng folded the handkerchief embarrassedly and said: "You see I stained your handkerchief, wait until I wash it and return it to you." ”

"It's okay with the handkerchief, I'm worried about your body, you drank so much wine tonight, and it's fast and fierce, Lisong can't hold you, I ...... Hey!" Shi Xiaolian took the handkerchief, without the slightest dislike.

She looked at Ren Pingsheng and said hesitantly: "I know you have something on your mind today, and you broke up when you are about to graduate, which is really sad, but she can't see it when you use alcohol to kill your sorrows like this, why bother?"

Ren Pingsheng's heart trembled, he grabbed Shi Xiaolian's hand, and said loudly: "What are you talking about? Who did I break up with?"

Shi Xiaolian was caught by Ren Pingsheng's excitement, her face suddenly turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly defended: "No, no, I just heard what Li Song said, he said that Zuo Xiaoxiao broke up with you." ”

Ren Pingsheng's mind was in chaos, and Shi Xiaolian's words hit him like thunder, shaking his seven souls and six spirits.

What's going on, why did Shi Xiaolian mention that Zuo Xiaoxiao broke up with him, so many years have passed, whenever he thinks of everything that happened that evening, Ren Pingsheng's heart still aches faintly.

Just a few days before graduation, Ren Pingsheng received an admission notice from the Hanzhou Personnel Bureau, although this job was not what he expected, but in the current downturn in the job market, it is also a happy thing to be able to lock in the work unit early.

But when he told Zuo Xiaoxiao the good news for the first time, he didn't get the expected support and encouragement, Zuo Xiaoxiao just told him to think about it, and then the two avoided talking about it until half an hour before the last class reunion, Zuo Xiaoxiao asked Ren Pingsheng to Jinhu and ended the relationship between the two in person.

All this is beyond Ren Pingsheng's imagination, when the girl who fascinated him said that sentence to his face, the ideal world he had always longed for suddenly collapsed, and his plans and blueprints for his future life were all torn up, even though Zuo Xiaoxiao sincerely apologized, but she was very resolute and irretrievable about the end of this relationship.

Ren Pingsheng can't remember how he walked back from Jinhu that day, his lost soul was seen by everyone, and the pain and despair in his eyes were also clear at a glance, in Lin Lisong's words, Ren Pingsheng was simply a ghost, and half of the whole person collapsed.

But he didn't have time to lick his wounds, because in the evening of the class reunion, he also had to serve as one of the hosts of the party, which was designated by the senior officials of the School of Management and Economics.

In this way, Ren Pingsheng, with the freshly torn pain and the heart of the monk dripping blood, pretended to be nothing, and partnered with Gao Yuanyuan to host the whole party, and gave full play to his talent in public speaking, rapping and laughing, gags, and managing the atmosphere of the party very warm and pleasant, which also made the college leaders and teachers who participated in the party extremely satisfied.

Only a very few people know that Ren Pingsheng's self-sufficiency in talking and laughing is just to suppress his sadness and pain, and he is looking for Zuo Xiaoxiao's figure in the crowd from beginning to end, hoping to save her again.

But things are often not as people want, Zuo Xiaoxiao did not appear at the party scene all night, she seemed to want to sever all ties with Ren Pingsheng, not let him retain the slightest illusion, is she really so resolute, so ruthless? This conjecture caused a greater blow to Ren Pingsheng.

From the time of eating, Ren Pingsheng was extremely excited and active, not only frequently toasted to the leaders and teachers, but also looked for classmates everywhere to drink, his drinking method and amount of alcohol, so that the classmates of the four years were very surprised to see, you must know that Ren Pingsheng was known for being conservative in drinking, and tonight he was so open to drink.

Only Ren Pingsheng himself knows that he is pouring the blocks in his heart with a wine glass, using the hustle and bustle to cover up the scars in his heart, and the anesthetic effect of alcohol can make him temporarily forget the pain of being broken up, forget Zuo Xiaoxiao, and forget everything that is unsatisfactory.

So he drank desperately, from the restaurant to KTV, from KTV to the road, drunk unconscious, hugged the road stake and fell asleep, until Shi Xiaolian woke him up.

But wait...... Something is wrong here.

Ren Pingsheng remembered that it was more than ten years ago that he got drunk after breaking up with Zuo Xiaoxiao, but didn't he just attend the 10th anniversary party of his classmates in Class 02 and Management 3, how could he appear in this place?

He did vomit after the party, but it was in the flower pot of the Golden Dragon Hotel, not the road stake in front of him, and Shi Xiaolian didn't appear at the 10th anniversary party at all, how could she be by her side?

Look at Shi Xiaolian in front of her, although she is still not amazing, but the skin on her face is still full of youthful fullness and elasticity, this is clearly Shi Xiaolian when she just graduated, she can't still look like a girl after more than ten years, that's too scary.

Ren Pingsheng looked around, he finally recognized what kind of place this was, this was a student street near Hanhai University, the class reunion was held in the most lively restaurant on the street, but this restaurant and this street have long disappeared with the urban transformation, and now it has been replaced by a new two-way four-lane road and shopping plaza, but what Ren Pingsheng saw was the dilapidated original appearance more than ten years ago.

The street more than ten years ago, Shi Xiaolian before graduation, and the drunk self after being broken up...... These are all alive in front of him, as real as the stench of vomit spit on the ground, which makes Ren Pingsheng's heart numb, and he can't help but have a bold idea.

I'm not fucking cross-crossed, am I?
