The mansion, which was almost brightly lit, stood with its lights on a slightly higher level of ground, until the sky was surging, until the black clouds ran and dissipated, until dawn came, until the clouds were gilded.

Lin Luoran had woken up, in fact, she hadn't slept all night, but today she had to spend her day like a precision mechanical clock.

First of all, she must wake up at 5:40, and there will be time to dress and wash her. At six o'clock, there will be the best makeup artists, hair stylists and stylists in Yanjing, and they will not miss a minute to drive to the door to comb and dress her up. She had to do it in an hour. At this time, at the same time, far away outside another luxury mansion in Yanjing, a whole team including Cadillac Army One, Lincoln Lengthened, all Audi, behind and Ferrari, Porsche, Bentley, Jaguar, Maserati and other famous cars as auxiliary cars, began to be in full swing in an orderly manner, each of which is sturdy from the family of Yanjing political tycoons and business giants who will attend the wedding, and the whole process of making floats takes 30 minutes. Then Wei Yuanhu, who is neatly dressed, will board the wedding car after all the auxiliary cars are in place, and then the team leader will prompt the departure, and later the city will see such a mighty luxury convoy across Yanjing City, and then pinch the time and arrive at the residence of the little sister of the Lin family at half past eight. Then head to the wedding home.

The Land Rover of the makeup artist team stopped, and the photographer and makeup artist rang the villa doorbell, greeted the owner of the house and friends, and went upstairs.

Lin Luoran was wearing a white skirt and knee-length gown, with a purple ribbon around her waist, not the kind of exaggerated wedding dress that looked like a flower, this was her wedding dress, simple and elegant. Sitting in front of the makeup mirror of Nuoda, watching those light shades paint up your skin, with a little powder. Then the tied headband was untied, and the hair was draped down, and then coiled up by the stylist, and the temples flew into a bun.

She was blooming her thrilling beauty for another man.

She was accompanied by Ye Huisheng, but now looking at her, Ye Huisheng's eyes couldn't be happy anyway, she asked a little lost, "This is a lifetime thing, have you really thought about it." ”

The team of makeup artists ignored the meaning of the beautiful woman next to her, and still did the final perfect touch-up.

Lin Luoran stood up suddenly, then opened the door of the reading dressing room and ran out, and went downstairs, relatives and friends all looked at her who rushed down.

Lin Mu Lu Jiaying, who was holding a cup of tea, turned her head and said, "Oh, is it finished, so fast?"

Before she finished speaking, she saw Lin Luoran, who was wearing a small dress, running out in two or three steps with a pair of high heels, and Ye Huishang followed out, gesturing to the dazed people in the hall and saying, "I'll explain to you later." ”

Immediately followed, and saw Lin Luoran, who had taken her Audi TT key, approaching to unlock it, and was about to go up Ye Huishang arrived, "Can you drive like this, go to the side." I'll send you there. Then sitting in, Ye Huishang looked at his watch and said, "There are still fifty minutes to go." ”

Lin Luoran's heart was beating violently, and she saw that the sports car with the surname Neng Neng quickly started and rushed out of the community, then got on the highway, walked through a few forks, and blocked the car twice, and then her extremely familiar and nostalgic Hutongkou district street appeared in front of her eyes.

It used to be her childhood, and now there is a person living there. The city lived there a man.

Su Can and the others were still in the courtyard to contact Wang Weiwei and others, and they saw a white Audi car outside suddenly braked, and even the lady who was sweeping the floor in the early morning was provoked by this abnormal noise to raise her head and watch the girl rush out.

Appears at the gate of the quadrangle.

Her white clothes are better than snow, and her moon shoots cold rivers.

"Such a Lao Lin, shouldn't you be waiting for the convoy to get married at your house now?" Liu Rui, who was still biting a white-faced bun bought from the corner of the door, widened his eyes.

Xue Yiyang's mouth chewing food suddenly stopped moving with his eyes widening.

Then the two of them were dragged closer to the house by Tang Yu.

Su Can looked at Lin Luoran and found that she was so white that it was difficult to look at directly.

"Su Can, in fact, I hate you very much, I really want to kick you a few more times a day, and I can't wait to bite you a few times every day" Lin Luoran's face still has a red tide on her face due to the vigorous running movement and the rapid rise and fall of her chest, and her hair bun is a little scattered, but she can't care about these, she remembers what the fat man said before he died, so she understands what she should do at this moment, paused, her eyes were full of mist, "But I still can't restrain myself from coming to see you." ”

"So I guess I'm in love with you. ”

Su Can paused, he found that the magnificent morning sun in Yanjing City at this moment was not real. But his expression was as dark as a place where the sun couldn't shine.

The two of them were silent for a long time. Tug-of-war.

Ye Huisheng's phone rang frequently, she pinched and pinched, watched the two of them squeeze the phone tightly, then answered, hung up, looked at Lin Luoran's suddenly somewhat weak back, and fell down in panic and said anxiously, "Their convoy is coming here, we don't have time!"

Lin Luoran saw Su Can's painful expression, and she knew that they would never be able to be together.

The girl took a step back slightly, then wiped her stubborn tears with her arms to prevent her from overflowing her eyes in front of her, turned to leave, and when she opened Ye Huisheng's car door and sat in, she couldn't suppress her mouth and cried.

The white Audi TT started to leave, and then at the intersection of the streets, it encountered a convoy of luxury cars that had rushed to this side with a spectacular traffic queue blocking a block of traffic.

Lin Luoran got out of the Audi TT and was sent into the current black car. The convoy set sail again, and the traffic was smooth.

On the bus to the hotel, a 27th middle school student asked Wang Weiwei, "I heard that the wedding will be held in Taimiao?"

Wang Weiwei shook his head and said, "Taimiao is an ancient royal palace, although it has been opened, how can it become a wedding venue. The wedding took place at the Palace Hotel. ”

Located in the center of Wangfujing in Yanjing, the banquet hall on the second floor of the Wangfu Hotel, which is located next to [***] and the Forbidden City, is used as a wedding venue. The entire banquet hall can accommodate up to 400 people for a large banquet.

The most magnificent of these are the two mahogany doors that enter the ballroom, even the wide handles are gilded.

Su Can shook hands with too many people like the walking dead here, and even "was" taken a group photo.

also met next to the high-level leaders of the Wang Lin family. There is Lin Ronghuan, whose face is still handsome but has some vicissitudes, but he showed a rare smile to Su Can, and Lin Xuanwu's mother asked Su Can about his current situation. There was also Lu Jiaying, who had a strange expression, looked at Su Can and sighed secretly. There are also many people in the Lin family, looking at Su Can's expression, there seems to be a sense of regret. There is also Wang Bo, the father of Wang Weiwei of the Wang family. Uncle Wang Guidong. Second uncle, Wang Haiping, and many other people. Su Can remembered that they had said a lot to themselves, but he didn't listen to a word. I only heard a vice governor say that he wanted to build a science and technology industrial base, and let Facebook Chinese go over to guide. Su Can didn't know if he should have made a promise.

There were also many people who looked at him from a distance, listening to Wang Weiwei explain that those people who seemed to be from the Wei family. The marriage of the Lin and Wei families, there are many people from Yanjing City who are very famous and will be present.

In the end, Lin Luoran's father, Lin Guozhou, who was full of masculinity with a mustache, found Su Can, pulled him aside, took out a cigarette and handed it to Su Can, Su Can didn't smoke it, he took it back and lit it himself, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Lin Xuanwu told us about Lin Luoran and you a long time ago. If it were you and my woman who were going to stand on the stage today, I wouldn't say a word. In fact, Lin Luoran's three aunts and six aunts, those relatives and friends, for the sake of her happiness, will respect her choice even more, but now that things are like this, it can only be like this. ”

"Of course, I'm not saying that Wei Yuanhu is a bad kid, in fact, he is very good, his surname is the same in all aspects, and I also believe that he will be very good to Luoran. Lin Guozhou took another deep breath of cigarette and said with some reverie, "Actually, when I saw Lin Luoran opening a beer can for you in your Uncle Wang's house, I thought at that time that her mother must like to see her daughter, who usually goes to heaven and earth, have such a quiet and virtuous side." ”

"I also once thought that one day I was tired and retired, staying at home, would the same scene occur, that Nizi opened a beer for the two of us, and our grandfather drank a bottle and took a cup, and then I would often take my grandson to Beidaihe to engage in my photography hobby, hug him to watch him grow up, worry about the kindergarten quota for him, pick him up from school every day, think about whether he will go to Fujia Primary School in the future, or experiment with the second child, this is far away. Lin Guozhou extinguished the cigarette butt in the luxurious smoke extinguisher in the banquet hall, patted Su Can's hand, and his very magnetic voice sounded, "But Su Can's life is not just as it was when I first saw it." Cherish what you have and don't lose it again. ”

Then after he finished speaking, the minister of the country's information department waved his hand at Su Can with his back to him, and walked back to his seat as sassy as ever.

Su Can wandered in place, his heart falling like a blood-colored remnant sun with the music that sounded in the banquet hall.

At this time, he saw Wei Yuanhu at the entrance of the passage coming over, he said something to the people accompanying him, and the others walked away, leaving him to come straight to Su Can. The two of them stood facing each other and stared at each other for a long time, Wei Yuanhu finally spoke, the corners of his lips rose slightly, and he said calmly, "In the end, I still won." ”

Whether you are waiting for dawn or not, the evening will come to an end when the magnificent remnant sun finally breathes out its vitality. Night will fall.

Later, the wedding began.

A brilliant and solemn melody descended on the ballroom. Paper flowers fluttered with the sound of cannons. Lin Luoran and Wei Yuanhu stepped on the rhythm of the steps to the front desk, came to the master of ceremonies, and faced the audience. There was a round of applause.

Lin Luoran saw Su Can get up and walked out of the auditorium.

The last focus of her gaze was lost.

Li Pengyu, Wang Weiwei, Xue Yiyang, Liu Rui and other people who knew him all turned gloomy when they saw this scene.

Out of the banquet hall, Su Can leaned against the wall next to him, he took three deep breaths before and after, he saw that many waiters outside the banquet hall looked at him in surprise, and then seemed to think of something, glanced at the beautiful girl in the banquet hall, and flashed a sympathetic look at him.

Su Can looked straight ahead, as if he saw the Lin Crepe Dance who turned around in front of him and then disappeared from then on. He seemed to hear the voice of him talking to him close at the time of Rongcheng again.

Then the sound disappeared. Immediately afterwards, the master of ceremonies in the banquet hall behind him sang in a subdued tone. Like a dusk drum and a morning bell.

But it suddenly made him enlightened.

He had been sticking to his own path and thought he had been holding on to something, but now he understood that he was wrong.

Life can't just be as it first sees. That's why we must cherish it, so we can't lose it.

The waiters around him, who had received excellent quality training, were surprised to see that this man, who had previously seemed to have suffered the biggest blow in his life, had now walked back to the center of the door of the banquet hall.

At this moment, the snow in Cangshan does not fly. At this moment, the lights in the hall are added to one place, and it is not so white and dazzling.

Everyone's heads turned ninety degrees to look at the man standing in the center of the hall door.

Then Su Can stepped forward, like a tank charging aura, so that everyone in the audience could only open their eyes and watch him stride towards the ceremony.

The so-called fate has always been in his own hands.

So he has to go forward, he has to cross the distance from this section to that section, and then hold on to something that has to be held, something to people, something that is eternal for him. Some moments that once you miss them, you may never go back to them in this life. This moment is enough to become an eternity in memory when you are old.

"Should he not" Wang Weiwei still maintained a ninety-degree sideways movement, and the person was already slowly standing up. The corners of his mouth, who was the secretary of the provincial party committee, twitched a little, as if he was looking at the most bizarre and strange situation in the world.

"Su Can, Lin Luoran" Xue Yiyang and Liu Rui looked at the man who walked in again without hesitation without any pause, except for muttering words that might be related to his behavior, they were only left in a daze.

The master of ceremonies was still singing, but his voice became quieter and quieter with the deflection of his head. Wei Yuanhu's brain didn't react. In fact, too many people are suppressed by this domineering.

Whether they are shocked or not, whether some people are angry or not, will it cause an explosive shock influence. It's as unimportant as a piece of shit.

In fact, these things are insignificant and insignificant compared to what Su Can wants to do.

He only knew what he was going to hold on to now, and it was crucial. Thick as life.

Then he crossed the distance from this section to that section. grabbed Lin Luoran's cold hand, and even Lin Luoran was shocked to see the visitors from outside the sky, you can imagine how bright this man who only guarded the most important things was under the frozen light and the sculptural crowd at that time.

Gripping tightly, Su Can didn't say a word of nonsense, pulled Lin Luoran, who was already crying almost at the time, turned around and rushed down the stands, along the red carpet, to the penultimate table Tang Yan, and held Tang Xiaoyu tightly with his left hand. It was a warm hand. Warm enough to never leave.

So he held Tang Xiaoyu with his left hand, and pulled the girl in white with Shengxue beside him with his right hand, just like that, under the white light, he walked faster and faster, faster and faster, and finally couldn't wait to run out of the banquet hall.

In the end, Su Can was still thoughtful and did not forget to come back and close the two magnificent and majestic mahogany doors in the banquet hall, holding the doorknobs, and rolling them with his backhand.

All the brothers and friends who grew up together at the scene, all those relatives and friends, three aunts, four aunts, two uncles and cousins, all those political bigwigs, business elites, and celebrities from all walks of life. All the people in this banquet hall, whether it was the variety of beings, the thousands of weather, or the sudden tide of people in the final hall, were closed behind the door with the sound of the two huge doors "rattling and closing".

That's the last memory everybody remembers at that time.

There are a lot of stories that have happened since that year.

The Fifth People's Congress of Phoenix was held in the Hall of the People's Congress of Phoenix, and the meeting deliberated and passed the resolution that Su Licheng, the former acting mayor of Phoenix, was officially promoted to the mayor of Phoenix after Zhou Zhaofeng was removed from his post for review.

Su Licheng just said to the audience with tears in his inaugural speech, "I was born in a foreign country, worked in Phoenix, grew up here, and harvested here. As a beneficiary of development, I would like to thank the hard-working, intelligent, bold and enterprising people of Phoenix, who have passed on and carried forward the long-standing culture of virtue so wonderfully and publicly, without the diligence and kindness of the people of Phoenix, without these simplicity and persistence, and thanks to them for giving this ancient and magical land vitality and charm I will work with my political axe team to build a more beautiful blue sky and white clouds in Phoenix under the leadership of the municipal party committee, and make every drop of effort to build a cleaner and more collectivized energy enterprise in Phoenix."

The aftermath continued, and the hall burst into long-lasting applause.

In the same year, Phoenix Investment Holdings acquired 100% of the shares of Phoenix Industrial Company in Phoenix for US$38.2 million through foreign equity mergers and acquisitions, completing its overseas shelling process. In September, a venture capital company called Big Pineapple Investment (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. injected US$50 million into it, and in February of the following year, Phoenix Company was successfully listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, raising HK$700 million in an IPO. Phoenix Industrial Group has successively integrated several coal mines, coal washing plants and coking chemical plants in Xichuan and Guizhou provinces, becoming the largest coal coking private enterprise in southwest China. It has driven the direction of the integration of coking coal chemical enterprises in the whole province and played a leading role, which is quite extraordinary.

And its chairman Wu Jianshe and general manager Li Jinsheng are also known as the two "black gold princes" who have risen in the Great West.

In the same year, World of Warcraft, which had 3.5 million paying players, released an epic weapon with Arena Season 2 called "Brutal Gladiator's Phoenix Crossbow", which has a small line of yellow letters. It is marked - "Created according to the requirements of Lin Xuanwu." ”

No one knows who Lin Crepe Dance is, but that doesn't stop the excitement of players wiping down the weapon and using it to take out enemies and countless dragons.

Su Can failed to give Lin Xuanwu a GM account, but his request was implemented by thousands of people who played the game after that. It's just that the young faces that used to be enthusiastic in the Internet café have now disappeared, and the era of games that belonged to them, whether it was StarCraft or World of Warcraft, has come to an eternal end in this way.

After Pineapple Media laid the authoritative foundation of domestic financial magazines, Shangmai Music has received several investments, and has become the No. 1 record digital music company in China with the copyright resources accumulated in the early stage, and has signed a large number of artists. Sometimes when I turn on the TV, I can occasionally see Zhao Hao's foaming comments on a talent show.

Many people are speculating about every movement of Lin Luoran, Tang Yu and Su Can. But only the most intimate friends will be able to open their Facebook pages, and there are plenty of photos of them strolling through Tokyo's cherry blossom season, cafés on the Champs-Ésésées in Paris, and sunken Maldives islands with their turquoise skies and light-coloured beaches, as well as their pretty wooden villas. Some were a Labrador Retriever they had adopted, and some were the inverted triangular pyramid told by the Louvre and Leonardo da Vinci code. Some are artificial islands like flowers and trees in Dubai. Some are the grand blue sky and white clouds of Tibetan Province, prayer wheels and Sakya Temple, Tang Yu kneeling on the futon to pray piously, and Su Can was busy taking pictures of the spectacular double cultivation murals on the second floor, and there was also a picture of Lin Luoran's hand waving into the camera, it should be that he was hit on the head. Some are family gatherings, with lots of hearty meals cooked by the family at the table, and their smiles are happy. And so on and so forth, a lot of photos like this.

When talking about them at the class reunion, some people said that they seemed to have seen them appear on the streets of Xiahai Town, passing by, and they couldn't make out their blurry faces.

Some say they built commercial buildings. A part of the profits of the industry will also be taken out and sent to the Hope Primary School with a red flag in the poor mountainous area. In this way, they have helped tens of thousands of children in the mountainous areas of Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan. There are many pictures of two girls in the midst of these children, with their eyes bright and smiling as if they could be kept in eternity.

There are also people who, according to the grapevine, got married somewhere abroad. Countless people will be skeptical.

In short, they travel all over the world every year, returning home from time to time, and only those closest to them know their movements.

Sometimes on the boat of the old fisherman paddling on the dammed lake of Phoenix, with the ups and downs of the waves, Su Can can turn out the old photos from the past, graduation photos, travel photos, life photos, landscape photos, and construction aid photos. He seemed to see those vivid people in front of him one by one in the past years.

He seemed to see Xiao Yunyun standing in the blue summer field, and handed her a bottle of cold Coke.

He seemed to see Chen Lingshan's white-clothed Dunhuang on the stage of No. 1 Middle School, the lights focused on her, and then at the end of the play, the lights faded out, and her bright eyes and cocoon stood alone all came to an abrupt end.

He seemed to see the music building at dusk, Sun Man was wearing a small red sling with his back to his melodious violin, and the golden clouds outside the field of vision and the bare back exposed by her sling reflected brilliantly.

He seemed to see Guo Xiaozhong in the courtyard of Da Rong Construction Engineering, waved his hand to him and said "Hi".

He seemed to see Lin Xuanwu, dressed in a bachelor's uniform, grinning at him under the flash. And then those shit-like years are gone, never to come back.

And so on and so forth.

Su Can occasionally remembers those who have lost and passed away in his life.

If life is only as it first sees, there should be infinite little beauty.
