The night is getting darker,

Little by little, the city enters a quiet atmosphere,

The city, which has been lively for a day, lies quietly on this land.

Of course, there are still parts of the city that are bustling with activity, fierce and fighting.

......

In the hall on the first floor of the studio, the lights are still bright, and the smell of tobacco and alcohol is permeated.

Of course, smoking is not allowed in the store.

But now it's not open, there are no customers, and your own people are free.

Lin Fan and Chen Xu sat on the chair, the two of them had almost drunk, and their faces were slightly red.

Half drunk.

Chen Xu got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face, walked out, and took a drink.

"Hiccup, I'm almost drunk, let's get here today, I should go."

"Hmm, is the car called?"

Lin Fan replied, his eyes were a little confused, and it was wine.

He didn't stay here either, although there was a room upstairs.

"I just called, I think it's almost there."

As he spoke, a taxi stopped on the road outside the door,

"Yes, I'll go first, Xiaofan, do you need me to help clean up?"

Chen Xu said that he wanted to help clean up, but his body was already walking outside.

Put in order?

Just talk, don't take it personally.

He knew that someone would come to clean up the next day, but he didn't know that Aunt Meng had resigned.

Lin Fan glanced at him with some disgust,

I don't believe you're so diligent.

"No, go ahead."

"Okay, let's go, you can rest early, see you next time."

I'm full today, and I'll come back next time to eat and drink.

Chen Xu opened the glass door, went out, got into a taxi, and the car quickly drove away into the night.

Lin Fan sat on the chair, sensing the drunkenness.

His consciousness was very clear, but his brain was a little dizzy, and the whole person was a little erratic.

This feeling,

It's really amazing,

It's also really fascinating.

The wine is said to be Huanbo, Qusheng, Panruotang, and Qingzhou are engaged.

Throughout the ages, how many literati and writers have liked to compose poems after drinking, and regarded the flow of music as an elegant thing, leaving countless famous sentences after drinking.

Li Taibai's life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. When is the bright moon in Su Dongpo, ask the wine to the sky. Tao Yuanming's leisurely fan remains, and there is a deep taste in the wine.

Wang Xizhi took advantage of the excitement after drinking and wrote the world-famous "Lanting Collection Preface", which was praised by later generations as "the first book in the world".

It can be seen that the wine culture is deeply rooted in the soil of Chinese civilization.

"Hoo ......"

Lin Fan got up and walked to the bathroom, washed his face with cold water, and then propped his hands on the sink, looking at his wet face in the mirror, water droplets fell from time to time.

A pair of deep eyes under the slender eyelashes, with a hint of drunken confusion.

It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul.

truly

Everyone's eyes are different, and a person's temperament is largely manifested in words and deeds, that is, in the eyes.

or sluggish, or calm, or resolute, or blurred, or clear, or profound.

Some people, you look him in the eye.

It's as if his eyes can erode your attention, and after a long time, you will feel uncomfortable, and you will involuntarily shift your gaze.

It seems like

His eyes,

can talk like that,

Lin Fan is like that.

The strength of a person's heart is manifested in the strength of his eyes.

After a while of cold water stimulation, he was a little sober, but his main consciousness was still blurred.

Lin Fan walked out of the bathroom, sat on the sofa, and quietly looked at the ceiling.

After a while,

As if I had thought of something,

Lin Fan lowered his head and leaned on his legs with his fingers crossed.

Feeling a little dizzy consciousness, a swollen brain, and, a trace of inexplicable thoughts.

Then,

Give it a try.

Lin Fan is not a nosy person, but perhaps it is the alcohol that infinitely magnifies the thoughts in his heart.

Just think of it as being drunk and willful and foolish......

I took the key out of the drawer, walked to the door of the storage room, and opened the door to the storage room on the stairs.

Didn't turn on the lights,

Inside, you can vaguely see a number of boxes stacked on top of each other, as well as a row of metal shelves against the wall of the door, which are filled with things.

He took a white candle from the shelf at hand, walked out of the storage room, and closed the door with him.

Lin Fan came to the door with a white candle and opened the door.

Whew-

It's not going to be sweltering outside tonight, especially when the occasional wind turns out to be cool.

Standing outside the door,

Lin Fan looked up at the sky, the moon was hidden and the stars were sinking, the sky was dark, only the lights of the city were bright, blooming alone.

The two cats also jumped down from the sofa and followed behind Lin Fan.

Lin Fan looked at the white candle in his hand, exhaled a breath with the smell of wine, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Meow~"

Whew-

A gust of wind suddenly rises out of nowhere,

then

Gust after gust of wind, blowing from all sides, gust after gust.

Lin Fan's hair was blown up by the wind, and his clothes were rustling, he just stood with his eyes closed, motionless.

In his mind, a picture and video flashed, and a short figure slowly condensed.

The wind continues to blow,

suddenly

The white candle wick in Lin Fan's hand lit a strange pale white fire, the candlelight exuded a slight warmth, in the dark night when the wind was howling, it kept swaying, but it was never extinguished.

Lin Fan opened his eyes and looked at the lit white candle in his hand, a trace of tiredness flashed through his eyes.

Placing the white candle on the ground in front of the store, Lin Fan looked at the empty and dim streets around him.

Silent in my heart,

If you can,

Come back,

Please come back......

Don't go yet,

Stay a little longer,

This world,

There is something else worth your stay......

......

The wind is still howling,

The white candle lights are constantly flickering,

but it has never been extinguished,

In the dark of the night,

Like a guiding light.

White candles,

Necromancy.

......

Ten minutes passed,

The streets were still empty and dark.

Lin Fan sighed heavily,

Wait,

wish

It's in time.

"You're waiting here."

Lin Fan said to the two cats next to him.

"Meow~"

Lin Fan walked into the store, endured the consumption, and prepared to clean up the things on the table first.

The two cats stood in the doorway, looking around at the empty, dimly lit street outside the door.

Nearly half an hour later, Lin Fan packed up everything, washed the dishes, and walked out of the back kitchen.

At the door, the two cats were still watching.

Haven't come yet.

"Hoo ......"

Tired

Lin Fan exhaled deeply and sat on the sofa to rest.

After drinking, the confusion in his eyes disappeared, and the drunkenness subsided a lot, but he was mentally exhausted, especially the consumption of the spirit just now, and it is still consuming.

The candle flame ignited not only the wax, but also Lin Fan's spiritual power.

Little by little, the clock hands came to one o'clock in the morning.

Lin Fan sat on the sofa, his face was a little pale, his hands trembled slightly, he had already exhausted the overdraft, but he still didn't stop.

You can see that the white candle in the door has burned only a small part.

Don't you have a chance?

At this moment,

"Meow~"

The two cats at the door suddenly called softly into the distance.

Lin Fan immediately got up, cheered up, and dragged his tired body to the door.

The two cats were looking straight ahead, in the dark alley across the street.

Is she coming?

Finally in time,

Fortunately, the medical staff at the hospital did not give up on her.....

Initially

There was nothing in the dark alley.

Gradually,

There was an extremely slight sound of footsteps in the distance.

Slowly,

A short figure slowly emerged from the darkness and stepped onto the dimly lit street.

It's a little girl,

About four or five years old,

With a small braid.

She walked through the street, towards the door of Lin Fan's store, and then stopped in front of the door, to be precise, in front of the white candle,

She looked timidly at the flickering white candlelight,

In his eyes, he was full of confusion.

The candlelight exudes a faint warmth that attracts her gaze.

Lin Fan approached her, squatted down in front of her, looked at her, and called softly,

"Little sister."

The girl found Lin Fan squatting in front of her, and also turned her eyes and looked at Lin Fan.

"Big brother... This is... Where...? ”

The girl's voice was soft and weak, like the slight ripples of a bird pecking at the water.

Lin Fan looked at her eyes, which were big and clear, but full of confusion, and he smiled shallow at her,

"It's, a dream."

"Dreams...?"

The confusion in the girl's eyes deepened,

"Yes, dreams. Do you know where your home is? ”

"Home...?"

The girl showed a thoughtful expression, and then a moment of panic and struggle, and then disappeared, and returned to confusion.

"It's like... Forgot..."

Lin Fan's eyes showed a trace of unbearability, he saw the girl's flickering moment of panic and struggle, and he saw the girl's confused soul, scarred and full of fear.

"Shall I take you home?"

“...... Good. ”

The girl hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

Lin Fan stretched out his right hand and gently touched the girl's head,

can be felt,

She was trembling slightly unconsciously,

She's in,

Afraid.

The black mist in Lin Fan's eyes surged, and his right hand was on the girl's head, brushing away the fear in her heart.

The girl stopped trembling and was no longer afraid, she looked at Lin Fan in confusion.

"Look."

Lin Fan stretched out his left hand, the white candle on the ground went out, and a flickering candlelight appeared in his hand.

The girl looked at the candlelight in his hand, and that trace of warmth deeply attracted her gaze, and her eyes showed yearning.

"Follow it, it can take you home, okay?"

"Hmmm......"

Lin Fan gently handed his left hand forward, and the candlelight slowly left his palm and floated into the air.

In the night when the moon is hidden and the stars are sinking, the flickering candlelight is like the only star in the world, guiding the direction and taking her home.

"Go ahead, follow it."

The girl turned,

The candlelight led the way in front of her, and she followed, step by step, slowly into the dark alley.

Then

Disappear.

Lin Fan stood up and quietly watched her move away until her figure disappeared.

Lin Fan said silently in his heart,

Go ahead

Go back to "home",

Don't give up,

Stay alive,

Live well,

Though I can only take away your fears,

Though I can only bring your soul back to the body,

Though I can't erase the scars on you,

But I want you to live well.

With a yearning for life,

Live well,

This world,

There is something worth your life,

You deserve a better future.

Life is long,

You have to be strong,

Please,

Live well.

Hope for your future,

No more harm,

May you always be safe and prosperous in the years to come......
