Chapter 1: The Treasure Chest of Shyness

Next Chapter

"The long summer of '82 gave each of the grapes Château Lafite enough sugar to condense into a sweetness like first love in the long vintage. ”

Lin Pan squinted slightly, shook the amber liquid in the goblet, raised his head and drank it all, and continued to finish the paragraph:

"But the astringency brought by the tannins is like licking a dog to restrain all enthusiasm, it is like my youth!"

The cold Coke diluted some of the drunkenness after swallowing, and countless tiny bubbles united in the stomach, giving the owner a loud burp.

Suddenly, Lin Pan felt that his stomach began to bewitch, and when he pushed open the door of the men's toilet cubicle, he just began to tumble over the river.

Looking at the clean toilet and the filth of the white tile floor, Lin Pan actually had a faint pleasure - shorter than lightning.

Rushing......

The mirror of the washstand reflected a young man with messy hair, a pig's liver-colored face, and red eyes.

"Damn, it shouldn't be like this, this shouldn't be my life!"

He bit his lower lip with his teeth, his nails digging into the flesh, and he didn't feel the pain.

For Lin Pan, this 10th anniversary high school reunion is like an absurd and clumsy farce.

In the past, the gangsters who skipped classes, smoked, fought and molested female classmates all day long have become "a certain president", and they can switch freely between blockchain economy, IP incubation, and vulgar adult jokes; several classmates who have been admitted to the civil service have formed their own factions, talking about the situation at home and abroad, pointing fingers and scolding Fang Xuan; female classmates who have become housewives form gossip circles, and the beginning of the party is like a nest of sparrows, chattering.

Even the best buddies of the year, after three or two words of greeting, everything was in the wine.

Of the fifty-two classmates, almost half came, and the rest were dads who were forced to take care of their babies at home, some were code farmers who regarded overtime as a routine operation, and some moved abroad to breathe the sweet air...... I heard that two died, one in a car accident, and one in cancer, Lin Pan also witnessed a classmate who wrote an online article being stopped by the hotel security guard and not allowed to enter, because he was dressed like a wandering master.

Life is far more exciting than a story.

And the only motivation that really prompted Lin Pan to participate in this boring party was to see the goddess he had been secretly in love with for many years, Su Nianqing.

In the crowd, she has become the only bright color among the vulgar fans, and her appearance has not diminished back then, but her ignorance has faded and she has grown charmingly.

Once a thick black straight hair was hot in big waves, half-dyed burgundy, the mature charm of the young woman was seductive, and the shining diamond ring on the jade finger and the happiness with a smile on her face shone brightly.

Youth does not come back, and the love is separated by mountains and seas.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face, Lin Pan felt like he had a knife in his heart, slowly slashing it.

For ten years, he hadn't moved a single step, no different from the boy who watched her back home after a night of self-study.

In the name of humility, the thoughts and dreams hidden in the bottom of the heart are put into dust.

That's it, it's time to end the show, take another handful of tap water, cool down the heat on your face, and say that life is like this.

Walking out of the golden door of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Lin Pan suddenly felt like leaving a huge waffle, away from its warm, sweet, and extravagant atmosphere. The night breeze carried cold air straight into his neck, and the enthusiastic eyes of the substitute drivers forced him to dodge in embarrassment. He staggered down the pavement, staggering and top-heavy.

Suddenly, his body fell, and before he could wake up, he felt a pain in his head and lost consciousness.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

When he woke up again, Lin Pan found himself lying on the cold rock, with unbearable pain all over his body, hunger burning in his abdomen, and he didn't know how long he had been in a coma.

"Damn, I'm afraid I fell into a manhole just now?"

Looking around, he sensed that something was wrong.

It's not a damp sewer, it's more like a natural cave passage!

Lin Pan slowly climbed up, the diameter of the cave passage was about two or three meters on average, and the rock wall was reflected by the blue unknown light source from the other end, which looked deep and terrifying, and sometimes a breeze blew on his face, and the smell of damp moss and earth hit.

It's definitely not a sewer for the city!

He tried again to remember why he was here, but his mind went blank, damn it! maybe it was the numbness of alcohol, maybe it was ......?

Thankfully, I was able to buy two apples.

He didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, when suddenly his eyes widened and his hair stood on end.

Lin Pan clearly remembers that before attending the class reunion, he specially wore a cheap suit and plaid shirt to cover up the white fat belly and poor sour atmosphere caused by eating takeout for a long time.

But in front of him, under the ragged linen shirt was an obviously malnourished body, although not to the point of being skinny, it was not far off.

I don't know what happened now, but I've been reading novels for more than ten years in vain.

"Crossed!"

Lin Pan took a few deep breaths and barely calmed down, he waited for a while, there were no strange memories pouring into his mind, and there was no voice of God in the dark.

His mind was just a mess, with all kinds of emotions intertwined.

Su Nianqing, who is still beautiful, elderly parents, the company's performance tasks this month, the newly opened beef brisket hot pot restaurant near the apartment, the movie coupon that is about to expire on the weekend, and the opportunity to start life again......

After these emotions slowly calmed down, Lin Pan realized the meaning of that sentence:

"Lonely, lonely when I'm alone. ”

At that moment, he faintly heard a faint sound, which seemed to be coming from the source of the blue light.

Dragging his weak body and staggering, Lin Pan walked all the way in the direction of the light source.

In front of it was a huge cavern, the size of two classrooms, and the ground was densely covered with stalagmites and hanging stalactites that made it look like a monster's hideous maw. The blue light source is from the center of the giant mouth.

A treasure chest!

This, this, this!

At this moment, the protagonist in the novel crosses over and does whatever he wants with his golden finger to Lin Pan's heart! At this moment, the peak of life is close at hand!

That's right, a treasure chest! The gilded surface is covered with intricate patterns and is surrounded by huge gemstones, making no secret of its luxury. The mouth of the box is slightly open, and there is a bright blue light overflowing inside, and the low-key or something has nothing to do with it!

Heaven and earth, it's finally time to cross welfare, right? It's better to be a bug artifact like the one that directly opens the modifier, and that's beautiful.

Like a hungry ghost in the color, Lin Pan couldn't wait to pounce on him with an arrow step, but as a result, he "snapped" and fell to pieces.

The baby baby box actually dodged!

Rubbing his eyes, he looked at the incredible scene in front of him: he saw several stubby spider-like limbs sticking out from under the treasure chest, quickly tinkering with steps, wandering in a small area, like a frightened and shy cat.

Well, since this kind of thing happens when you cross it, it's not surprising that the treasure chest grows legs and walks.

I will not move when the enemy moves.

Lin Pan took a few steps back and observed cautiously, so as not to become a laughing stock that was bitten to death by the novice treasure chest after crossing over.

One minute passed, two minutes passed.

The chest's movements slowly stopped, and nothing unusual seemed to happen, and it relaxed its vigilance.

Lin Pan learned to be obedient this time, he put on an anxious expression, slowed down Meng Lang's pace, the enemy did not move, and cautiously approached the treasure chest.

The treasure chest remained motionless, only the blue light at the opening flickered, as if it wanted to communicate with Lin Pan.

Talk about life, talk about ideals, I'm sorry, my brother only likes simple and rough things.

For the first time in his life, Lin Pan awakened his scumbag temperament!

When he got close enough, he jerked out his hand and grabbed the chest, which shrank like a frightened turtle.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

The treasure chest is heavy, and it's obviously in stock!But the sample is quite energetic, and it's quite reserved, and it's not cooperative, isn't it? Resisting it again will only make me more excited~

Lin Pan's scumbag stench continued to rise.

He broke the mouth of the chest, gritted his teeth, used his hands and feet together, and finally opened the treasure chest.
