A year ago.

New Century KTV.

Zhao Ming was holding a wine glass, trying to hide the tension in his heart, today was a big day for him.

Just over two hours ago, he finally passed the final interview and signed a three-party contract with a leading company in the industry, with a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan!

This is already an excellent treatment for a graduate who has just stepped out of the ivory tower.

Zhao Ming's persistence finally paid off.

If it weren't for his dedication to pursuing higher and farther goals, he would have been able to set his own future like other classmates.

Seeing that in the recent period, everyone around him has found their favorite jobs one after another, it would be a lie to say that Zhao Ming is not anxious in his heart, fortunately, he has survived, so he can set foot on a higher starting point than others.

It's a new and shining beginning.

In the case that most graduates can only get a salary of three or four thousand, Zhao Ming's contract is simply an admirable existence.

What heights will he reach in the future?

Limitless.

So Zhao Ming took advantage of this reason to call his girlfriend and his two best friends in college to celebrate in the new century.

Zhou Cunsheng is Zhao Ming's roommate in college for four years, and he is his most ironclad buddy, so today he is not just here to celebrate Zhao Ming, but with another more important task.

Naturally, it was to cover for Zhao Ming's next move.

He knew that Zhao Ming would propose to Chen Shasha today.

Even the ring was picked up by him when he accompanied Zhao Ming to the "Daifuku" gold store.

At that time, Zhao Ming didn't have enough money on him, so Zhou Cunsheng also lent him a thousand yuan.

Zhao Ming and Chen Shasha were together during their freshman year of military training, they were the most enviable couple in the class, and the two agreed to get married after graduation, and now, it was time for Zhao Ming to fulfill this promise.

After a glass of wine, Zhao Ming's face was a little hot, his alcohol consumption was not bad, but today he was not drunk and everyone was drunk.

"Lao Zhao, my daughter-in-law can't drink alcohol today, you can bring a bottle of water. ”

At the end of a love song duet, Zhou Cunsheng put down the microphone and pouted to Zhao Mingnu, which was hinting to him that the marriage proposal battle had officially begun.

When the words fell, the girl next to Zhou Cunsheng also hurriedly assisted: "The water here is quite expensive, let's go out and buy it." ”

Hearing this, Chen Shasha couldn't help but stand up with a smile: "What do you all want to drink?" Today, in order to celebrate Lao Zhao's signing of a job, I will buy it for you." ”

Zhou Cunsheng coughed dryly: "Come on, look at you, today Lao Zhao said that he has covered all the consumption in KTV, and there is a chance for you to perform when you wait for dinner." ”

Zhao Ming also hurriedly got up and grabbed Chen Shasha, and said with a red face: "Sasha, you are here to sing with these two pit goods, and I will be back soon." ”

In addition, the girl also continued: "Sasha, you sit down quickly, the next is the song of the two of us, and the matter of buying water will be handled by your man." ”

Chen Shasha shook her head with a smile, and then was pressed back to sit on the sofa by Zhao Ming.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ming kissed Chen Shasha's face with lightning speed, and the tension in his eyes was less, replaced by infinite tenderness.

"Hey, hey, it's really air! Hurry up and buy your water! I'll kiss my baby and light up your dog's eyes!" Zhou Cunsheng scolded with a smile, and was immediately pinched by the girl next to him.

Zhao Ming smiled and said to Chen Shasha: "Then I'll go." ”

"Hmm. In the dim light, Chen Shasha's face seemed to be slightly hot.

Maybe she never thought that Zhao Ming, who has always been a little slow and shy, would be so bold today.

As she was talking, the prelude to Mayday's "Loving Love" sounded, and the girl handed the microphone to Chen Shasha's hand, and she jumped up on the sofa barefoot.

So Chen Shasha then turned her attention to the TV screen.

"It's okay to stay up late and chat with you until your liver bursts, and it's okay to go shopping with you to become flat-footed, thank you for letting me rebirth the whole orz and let me reacquaint myself with love......"

Zhao Ming stood at the door, looking at Chen Shasha's gentle side face, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a bright smile, it turned out that the so-called happiness is nothing more than laughing and making trouble with the person he loves the most, laughing and making trouble with three or two friends, holding wine glasses together, singing together, and looking forward to a better future together.

With infinite longing for love, Zhao Ming quietly withdrew from the private room, and happened to pass by Wang Lei, who went to the toilet in another private room.

Looking at the funny appearance of the guy holding his legs and holding his pee, Zhao Ming couldn't help but lower his head and snickered.

Fortunately, the other party didn't hear it, so Zhao Ming quickly quickened his pace, walked out of the New Century KTV, and walked towards the "Qianlixiang" flower shop on Qingshui Street.

A few minutes later, Zhao Ming took the bouquet of roses he had ordered a long time ago, took out a small ring box from his pocket and looked at it, then took a deep breath and returned to the gate of the New Century KTV with light steps.

Then he saw the smoke billowing and the flames rising into the sky.

and the crowd that surrounded the gates of the new century.

"Smack. ”

The bouquet of roses in Zhao Ming's hand fell to the ground, and the petals flew away wantonly, like moths to a fire.

Zhao Ming squeezed two steps forward, suddenly felt that his legs were a little weak, and he fell to the ground suddenly, which immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd.

However, no one stepped forward to talk to Zhao Ming.

No one reached out to help him.

Zhao Ming struggled to get up from the ground himself, and continued to send it towards the crowd with some hysteria.

"Sasha!

The crowded crowd was like an ocean with no end in sight, and Zhao Ming was a desperate lonely boat on the sea, he kept shouting the names of Chen Shasha and Zhou Cunsheng at the top of his voice, hoping to hear a response, even if it was just a ridicule from a bad friend.

But nothing.

Finally, Zhao Ming squeezed to the front of the crowd, even if he hadn't yet entered the gate of the new century, he could already feel the scorching fire wave coming to his face.

Then, Zhao Ming's two arms were framed.

"This classmate, you can't go in! You can't get out if you go in and out!"

"yes, yes, a lot of people ran out when the fire started, maybe the person you're looking for isn't in there anymore. ”

Zhao Ming struggled desperately, but the strength of those two kind-hearted people was not small, making all his efforts come to naught.

There seems to be a fire engine siren sounding in the distance.

Zhao Ming felt dizzy in front of his eyes, and fell to his knees suddenly, and the uncontrollable tears quickly blurred his vision, until the whole world was only red and black.

"Let me go...... I beg you...... Let go of me and let me in......"
