6/31/97, incense. Hong Kong's return to the motherland is celebrated by the whole country.

Qin Ren gave all the employees of the company a holiday that day, and then he went to the bar to drink.

His hepatitis wasn't healed yet, but he still drank it because he wanted to. When he gets drunk, he dreams, dreams that he is young again. He wanted to keep dreaming and never wake up again, because every time he woke up, his heart ached, and then he had an inexplicable urge to take a cold shower.

……

Qin Ren always thought that he had nothing before, so he went to make money. But after he had the money, he felt that he had nothing now.

What did he have before? Once he woke up and thought about it desperately, but he just couldn't remember what he had.

He was walking down the street and saw a tree, a very big tree. Then he saw a man under the tree, dressed in a white dress, reading a book very quietly.

As if back in time, that familiar scene, the girl in the years innocently smiled at him and said, "You have a black gas on your face!" ”……

Qin Ren stretched out his hand to touch her, but the snow-white figure suddenly disappeared, and he suddenly returned to reality.

The noise of the road and the smoky miasma of vehicles kept passing by him......

He began to cry.

Memories have never been forgotten, but they have been deceiving themselves, as long as the time, place, and characters are correctly combined, that person and that scene will be pieced together into a complete picture in the mind with broken memories.

This is indelible for years, called youth, there is a smile called a lie, there is a heartache called sadness, and there is a kind of gloom called "powerlessness".

That day, Qin Ren suddenly felt that he was much older, and the youth in him was passing little by little, devouring his vitality, and the most important things in his life were disappearing little by little. He tried to catch it, but found that everything was a phantom.

……

Bubble has been in a bit of a trance lately, and no one knows that she has become in a trance since she killed the child in her belly.

Every night when she went to sleep, she would dream that there was an unborn baby crying to her, crying so badly that it broke her heart.

……

In 2001, ** ravaged China, Qin Ren rested at home, and the company took a holiday.

Bangs also lives in his house, and they have been living together half a year ago.

Qin Ren didn't know if there was love between them, but every time he drew youth from bangs that didn't belong to him, he would feel very old and guilty.

Liu Hai didn't know why she liked Qin Ren, she used to think that she was just attracted by the sad aura on Qin Ren's body, and she didn't like it. But once Qin Ren was drunk and violently vomited blood, she felt heart-wrenching pain, and the pain made her hug the man tightly, and then she realized that she had fallen in love with Qin Ren deeply.

The reason? There is no reason, and you don't need a reason to like someone.

Qin Ren often ignored her, but Liu Hai didn't blame him, Liu Hai knew that this man must have a heart-rending past in his heart.

She had been frantically trying to uncover a secret, but then she gave up. She couldn't open his heart.

But there is one thing that Liu Hai can't bear, she feels that Qin Ren doesn't like her, every time Qin Ren looks at her, she can always see the shadow of another person in Qin Ren's eyes, and she is just a substitute for that person.

But even so, she didn't regret it, she gave her youth to this man, not hoping to keep him, she knew that she couldn't keep his heart, so she just hoped to stay with this man for a short time, even if it was just a dream.

……

Bubble's expression became more and more trance-like, and once she was in a daze on the street, a man took her to her house, and then slept with her.

This man is a migrant worker who came to Guangdong to work for his son to go to school.

He came to Bubble's house from time to time, and finally simply stayed, which hurt Bubble even more.

Neighbors can always hear the sound of belts whipping people from the bubble house, sometimes accidentally passing by, and even see migrant workers poking their snow-white breasts with lit cigarette butts. Room and bright as blood milk. On the head, poking her underneath with a stick, seeing that the foam was gagged with a sock, his eyes were full of fear and pain. But they just frowned, thinking that more was better than less, and simply closed the window.

The men sometimes watched secretly while their wives were not at home, and their faces were flushed with excitement.

……

Chen Ze was Qin Ren's friend, and he was the only one who could go in and out of Qin Ren's house at will.

Chen Ze's career is very successful, and his family is also very successful. He has a beautiful wife and a lovely daughter. He has been married for ten years now, and he has never cheated, which is what he is most proud of.

It is indeed something to be proud of not to cheat after being rich in this society.

Chen Ze would never persuade Qin Ren not to drink, and Qin Ren liked him very much. So the two often get together to drink, and when they chat, they never talk about life, their ideal career, or their family, but only about how to drink and what is the best wine.

When they drink, the bangs don't stop it either.

When Qin Ren and Chen Ze met, it was a rainy day, and it was raining heavily. Qin Ren was strolling in the rain, holding a bottle of wine in his hand.

At that time, many people stayed away from him, and the reputation of "Mr. Erhua" had long since fallen with the changes of the times.

Qin Ren thought it was a good experience, drinking while getting drenched in the rain, he wanted to try it a long time ago.

Chen Ze was the first to bring him an umbrella, and Liu Hai was handling business in the company at that time.

Chen Ze handed the umbrella to Qin Ren, enjoying the moisture of the rain. A very expensive suit he was wearing was also wet, but he still gave the umbrella to Qin Ren.

After Qin Ren took the umbrella, he immediately threw it aside. The two of them walked in the rain like this, and then went straight to the bar and drank a lot of wine.

Qin Ren said that "Sanhua alcohol" was the best wine, but Chen Ze disagreed, so they quarreled, and then began to fight, after which they all got drunk in the bar.

The bartender took the business card from Qin Ren and looked at it, and then sent them all to Qin Ren's house.

In the end, the two became friends, very good friends.

……

Bubble became pregnant again, and the migrant workers panicked and fled in a hurry after taking her to a cheap hospital.

Bubble had a baby, and later, she couldn't have children anymore.

Since then, Bubble has developed mild schizophrenia.
