In the evening, Zhang Xun ate first, and then rushed to the White Elephant Bookstore.

At that time, the winter sky had completely darkened.

In the thick darkness, the street lights were not so bright.

Turning the corner of the bookstore again, a sense of familiarity came over me.

In fact, it is not a long time since I came, but there is clearly a feeling of reunion after a long absence.

The lights are still on 24 hours a day, but in the middle of winter, in fact, almost no one comes at night, and the store is warm, and you can clearly feel the warmth of the interior from the outside.

In those white lights, the bookshelves standing quietly and the pages on them clearly have a peaceful temperament.

"Crunch. ”

There were no cars on the street, and Zhang Xun suddenly stepped on a bit of stubborn residual snow when he walked over, and he realized that he had missed another winter snow, which was a pity.

The street was silent, but the crunch shouldn't have alarmed anyone, but the door of the bookstore was pushed open.

A slender figure appeared silently in the crack of the door, like a taut line stretching through the door.

Zhang Xun raised his eyes and met those familiar and intelligent eyes.

Bai Xiang raised her arm, opened the door, and then turned around and walked inside, Zhang Xun found that her arm that opened the door was clearly very weak.

Walk through, then enter the door, close the door.

As usual.

The warmth of the room made a faint red on his face.

Turning around and looking around, he asked, "Didn't open the door at night?"

Naturally, I asked this because I didn't see the employees on duty.

Bai Xiang, who was standing at the counter and brought him a drink, didn't look back, just hummed softly.

Zhang Xun sat on the sofa.

After a while, Bai Xiang came back with two bottles, she was wearing a very wide white dress with cotton wool, a little homely, and most of her legs were exposed under the clothes.

"Bang, bang. ”

Putting two wine bottles on the table, she picked up one and said to Zhang Xun, "Cheers, give you the wind." ”

Zhang Xun found out that her face today is really white, not the kind of white and beautiful skin, nor makeup, but the paleness of lack of spiritual blood, in the frame of the glasses, the two eyes are not as bright as before, very dull, the long hair is messy and scattered on the shoulders, the frame is a little crooked, as if she didn't take off her glasses to sleep, if Bai Xiang in the past always gave people a generous delicacy, then today she is a girl who is standing in the miserable white cold sun in the north.

Something is definitely not right with this state.

Zhang Xun wanted to ask, but looked at Bai Xiang holding up the wine bottle in the air, thought about it, didn't say a word, picked up the bottle and the two touched one, Bai Xiang seemed to laugh and disappeared in a flash.

Blowing on a bottle is never a good way to drink.

In this way, no matter how good the wine is, it will not taste, which is a masochistic way to drink.

If someone tells you to drink like this, he has no good intentions and wants to satisfy his desire for control from abusing others.

But if you do this to yourself, you will have bitterness in your heart and want to get rid of it.

Zhang Xun thought of the night when the two met for the first time, at that time, she was also in a bad mood, but it was different from now, the same was to use alcohol to kill her sorrows.

Bai Xiang is a woman who can resist pressure, she is not very old, but she has learned to integrate a woman's natural resilience into her thoughts.

Therefore, it will not be a trivial matter for her, who claims to be smart and rational, to have such emotions.

Last time, I was saying goodbye to this store, but this time?

Zhang Xun drank a small half bottle and spit out a sip of wine, wanting to find an answer.

However, he was stunned to find that Bai Xiang had already drunk the whole bottle with his snow neck like a swan on his back.

"Poof!"

She almost pulled the empty bottle out of her mouth, and then, in Zhang Xun's stunned gaze, she saw the intelligent female boss tilt her wrist in fascination, and the empty bottle slid down on the sofa, rolled, and fell to the ground without breaking.

Then Bai Xiang got drunk.

I was really drunk, my body was crooked, and I fell on the sofa very unvividly, drunk and lifeless.

Zhang Xun looked at this scene stupidly, and after a full minute, he shook his head with a wry smile.

"I knew it, the same as last time. ”

He stood up with a wry smile, wanting to get Bai Xiang away, but he didn't want to stretch out his hand, she looked like this, no matter how careful she was, she couldn't avoid overcontact, so she simply let her fall asleep like this, anyway, the sofa was big enough, the air conditioner was turned on enough, and she was not afraid of catching a cold.

It's just that......

I said yes to come over for a drink and chat, why did you break yourself off as soon as you came in?

"If you don't drink well, don't learn from others to drink so hard. Zhang Xun sighed and shook his head, a little helpless.

It's just, in that case, what's next?

The nights are long, especially in the depths of winter, and the nights are extraordinarily long.

Zhang Xun sat in a daze for five minutes, and finally remembered to turn off the lights.

He sincerely hoped that Bai Xiang could sleep well, if the pressure in his heart was too great and the wine was too heavy, then at least, he could sleep well without worry.

After a few clicks, the entire store was plunged into deep darkness.

Zhang Xun slowly walked back to his place, sat down, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

He thought about it and thought about it, this is the only thing to do.

At about two o'clock in the morning, after finishing today's meditation homework, Zhang Xun opened his eyes.

Unexpectedly, in the dark, he faced a pair of sparkling eyes.

Bai Xiang didn't know when she woke up, she didn't sit on her sofa, but sat on the table, so that Zhang Xun was very close to Zhang Xun for a long time, and the eyes of the two people who were close were only a few dozen centimeters apart, so close that Zhang Xun was startled and smelled the body fragrance mixed with wine.

"Are you awake?" Zhang Xun subconsciously stepped back, and the huge force shifted the entire huge sofa sideways backwards for a distance.

"Hmm. Bai Xiang responded, his eyes did not blink, and he measured the distance between the two of them in the air, and seemed to be surprised how Zhang Xun's unremarkable body could have so much strength to retreat such a large distance with a sitting position.

Zhang Xun coughed twice to hide his gaffe, but fortunately, the room was extremely dark, which could hide his embarrassment.

"I'm going to turn on the lights?" he said tentatively.

"Don't. ”

"That ......"

"That's good. ”

“…… Then why don't you take some decanting......

"No, I don't. In the dark, Zhang Xun's enhanced perception could see Bai Xiang, who was sitting on the table, tilting his head and pulling his hair away with his fingers, "I'm drunk." ”

A lot of people will say I'm not drunk, but only a few people will say I'm sober.

"That ......"

"I'm unemployed. Bai Xiang, who came to his senses, suddenly spit out four words in a very light tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Xun asked, "...... company?"

"It's yellow. ”

"Bad management?"

"I was pitted by my traitors. The tone was still flat, there was no anger, only a kind of powerlessness that was deeply hidden, and a kind of indifference that had been broken.

Zhang Xun was silent again, and then sighed, remembering that the time about Zhao Ji was also because of betrayal.

Bai Xiang laughed and laughed at himself: "I fell twice in a pit. ”

This is the "year-end summary" she made for her past year.

It's short, it's profound.

“…… "Zhang Xun didn't choose to ask anything, the company's collapse did not happen overnight, I think the problem has been there for a while, but Bai Xiang has been maintaining, probably in Africa during this time, it finally can't be maintained, the building collapsed, and it is no longer necessary to talk about that.

"In the future, I probably run this store with peace of mind, ah, probably not, the company is gone, and I can't afford to maintain this store. Bai Xiang said very calmly.

"Then start another business?"

"Don't. "This is the second time she said no, tonight, twisting her head and wrinkling her little nose.

She also incorporated willfulness in addition to resilience into her thinking.

There was another long silence.

"Then follow me. In the dark night, Zhang Xun said suddenly.

Bai Xiang was stunned, his eyes widened, and he blushed and said, "Hooligans!
