The bar at night is a magical world, where people are roaming in the lights and wine. Whether it is the grievances suffered during the day, the pain of love frustration, or the worries of a stagnant life, people who have these can pursue the pleasure of that moment in the changing neon lights, so as to forget their troubles for a while. The young people on the dance floor squirmed to the music, as if their worries had long since vanished. People enjoy the paralysis of alcohol and the power of music, and their desires and egos are unleashed.

"Sister Fang, I met an acquaintance, so I'll go over and say hello first." It was Yin Xinyue who spoke, holding a glass of wine and was in high spirits.

Fang Ruo glanced at the direction of the crowd Yin Xinyue was pointing at, and responded, "Go ahead, don't drink too much." Yin Xinyue wore a waist-cinching top, a pair of slim jeans, and a pair of black stiletto heels, which showed her perfect curves very well, looking tall and charming, walking gracefully, and her good looks, which made people can't help but pay attention. In comparison, his professional formal clothes are much more ordinary.

Fang Ruo stared intently at the restless people on the dance floor, their young hearts erupting, as if they were going to exhaust the last bit of strength here before they would stop.

Fang Ruo felt that he was far away from them, when did he feel that he was no longer young? If he didn't drag himself into the crowd and dance along, maybe he would make fun of himself for being dull and not dancing as well as he did.

A greeting disrupted Fang Ruo's thoughts, Fang Ruo looked sideways in a slight daze, the speaker had a delicately groomed hairstyle, an angular outline on his face, a high nose bridge, a fair complexion, a pair of peach blossom eyes under Ying Tingjian's eyebrows, but when he didn't smile, he gave people a sense of alienation, and he was looking at her with a smile at the moment.

"Why don't you call me, I don't know you're coming, and you're still sitting alone drinking, and you don't think you treat me as a friend anymore." The man sat down while familiarly looking for the bar guy and asking for a glass of Mojito.

Fang Ruo turned his head and said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that Xiang Gongzi is busy, today is the completion of a project in the company to celebrate, and I planned to sit down and go back." ”

The person named Xiang Zichen is an old acquaintance with Fang Ruo, the two families live very close, they played together when they were children, and they both went to school in a junior high school when they were older, so they are one of Fang Ruo's few friends. This Xiang Zichen is famous for playing, his mother gave birth to him with dystocia, and almost neither of them survived, his father took pity on his wife, and he also took care of this son in every way, Xiang Zichen was lawless when he was a child, and he did bad things.

His temperament is quite like the naughty and naughty character of Jia Baoyu in "Dream of Red Mansions", plus his family background is good, and later everyone simply called him Xiang Gongzi, and he was quite proud of this name. This bar called Zhoudu is opened by him, he loves to play anyway, and he also likes to make friends, and he opened this bar not only as a business but also as a good person to have fun on weekdays.

"Don't you like to drink Mojito on weekdays, why did you drink Margarita today, this wine tastes more exciting, don't remember the way home when the wine is strong." Xiang Zichen said jokingly.

Fang Ruo couldn't help but grin and said, "What am I still afraid of on your territory, now that you're here, if I'm really drunk, you're not a gentleman to send me off." Fang Ruo looked at him after speaking, and the two of them smiled tacitly after their eyes met.

"Hasn't she come back yet?" Fang Ruo fiddled with the wine glass in his hand, and suddenly said this sentence casually, as if talking to himself. Xiang Zichen was stunned, his eyes were dim, and only when he asked about her would he become silent from his usual hippie smile.

"She's not coming back, she should." Xiang Zichen immediately took a sip of the wine in his hand, and his expression became a little bitter. Fang Ruo didn't know how to comfort him, how could she not know his feelings, if there are many kinds of love in the world, and love is the most painful one, caring for each other, but can't stay together.

Neither of them spoke, and Twilight thought to herself what was on her mind. Maybe wine is really a good thing, when you drink it, the troubles are like being wrapped in layers, and when you swallow it in one gulp, it seems that not only the wine, but also countless complex feelings, are exhausted with one drink.

"Sister Fang, you have someone to accompany you." Yin Xinyue came back with a lot of fun.

Fang Ruo looked up at her and said, "It's not early, why don't we go back first?" I can also give you a ride, let Xiao Li and them continue to play, anyway, it's a boy.

"Okay, Sister Fang, then let's go back first." It's past the early hours of the morning, and it's really not safe for girls to go back alone, Yin Xinyue is also a sensible person, so she naturally understands.

"You guys won't play anymore, I haven't even served this good wine yet." Zhou Zichen quipped.

Yin Xinyue looked at the person who was talking behind Fang Ruo, and suddenly felt that her heart was skipping, the corners of Zhou Zichen's mouth rose, and her eyes were smiling, which was a little tempting. Fang Ruo saw Yin Xinyue's suddenly blushing face, and knew that this little girl was attracted by Zhou Zichen's appearance.

Fang Ruo turned around and whispered, "Don't beat her idea." Zhou Zichen didn't speak anymore, but smiled meaningfully.

Fang Ruo and Yin Xinyue walked out of the capital of Zhou, both of them were drunk and couldn't drive. Fang Ruo made an appointment with a substitute driver under the hitchhiking software, and the substitute driver will come in a while.

"Sister Fang, does this friend of yours have a girlfriend?" After a long time, Yin Xinyue bit her lip and asked, as if she had thought for a long time before speaking.

Fang Ruo looked sideways at her crimson face, the little girl's shy demeanor looked very playful, and Fang Ruo didn't know how to answer for a while. She has known Xiang Zichen for many years, so she naturally knows his temperament, Xiang Zichen's nature is not bad, and he is really good as a friend, but for things like feelings, he doesn't do a lot of bastard things on weekdays, and he can't control his own style.

Not to mention that a little girl like Yin Xinyue doesn't have so much experience in the love field, it is difficult to control Xiang Zichen, if Yin Xinyue takes the initiative to post it, Xiang Zichen will be able to get along with each other for a while, and she will forget about it if she is over. Fang Ruo really didn't want to match this marriage that seemed to be no show, and at the same time, she found that Yin Xinyue was also a well-behaved and lovely girl, she could meet a better man, Fang Ruoyu didn't want her to plunge into this whirlpool headlong in selfishness.

"He has a girlfriend, I heard him say it some time ago." Fang Ruo replied thoughtfully.

"Oh, yes, he doesn't look like he doesn't have a girlfriend." Yin Xinyue sighed lightly, and her expression became a little indifferent.

Fang Ruo hummed and stopped responding, looking at the disappointment on Yin Xinyue's face, she was also a little helpless in her heart. It's not that she doesn't want to introduce, if it's really suitable, she is naturally willing to be a matchmaker, and no one is willing to help with the good things of pushing the boat down the river, but thinking of Xiang Zichen's past, Fang Ruo gritted her teeth and strengthened her previous thoughts.

The car drove out of the bustling commercial center and became quiet, and the streets were empty at noon with only a few cars speeding by. In recent years, the government has promulgated policies to support the city, coupled with the transformation and upgrading of local industries, the rapid development of the city's economy, and in recent years, it has also been promoted to a new first-tier city.

Looking at the development and changes of this familiar city, Fang Ruo also felt very relieved in his heart. She is a person who follows the rules, she does not dare to change too much, she has no lofty ideals, she does not want to go to the big city to struggle, she was very famous in the country in the early years of the country is more than 1,000 kilometers away from the city of G to study university, that is the farthest place she has ever been from home, in the four years of college, she also found that the huge difference between G city and the small city she lives in, is far from the small city can not be compared.

The mature city of G has exciting urban resources, but after graduation, she still gave up the good olive branch thrown to her by local companies and chose to return to the small town she was familiar with. She works in a state-owned enterprise in the local construction industry, and working in a state-owned enterprise is relatively dull, doing her part every day, leaving work on time, rarely working overtime, and the leader runs faster than herself when she gets off work. Fang Ruo doesn't talk much on weekdays, but she is diligent in her work, she has been in the company for five years, and she has long been handy at work.

Some time ago, the company's senior leadership positions changed slightly, and Mr. Huang, who had been taking them before, was promoted to a higher group center, and the headquarters parachuted a Mr. Chen. Fang Ruo hadn't dealt much with the newcomer Mr. Chen, and just briefly reported on his work.

Having said that, Fang Ruo was also promoted because of this internal adjustment, Mr. Huang wrote a letter of recommendation to the headquarters before leaving, Fang Ruo didn't talk much on weekdays, got along with colleagues easily, not sharp-edged, and talked with leaders to listen to more and talk less, she didn't give gifts, sleek and sophisticated sycophants don't like to shoot, everyone thinks that the most unlikely thing to be promoted is her, there are a few rivals of the same kind of competition, either there are some relationships in the family, or they will make a relationship with sycophants, but I didn't expect that Mr. Huang was a row of people to recommend her up, When the results came out, everyone was stunned.

Colleagues really don't understand, saying that Fang Ruo has a bit of a situation with the leader, it's really not like it, Fang Ruo left as soon as he got off work, and rarely participated in the group's gatherings, she didn't like to be lively, she never said much about things outside of work, she didn't gossip or comment on other people's things, she seemed to be here every day to complete the task of work, and she didn't see any ambition from her. The person who entered the company at the same time as her also said that she had never seen a strange man take her or give a gift, and she felt very plain and unique.

Fang Ruo actually can't figure it out herself, she actually has no intention of competing for promotion, sometimes it's like this, some people can't get in if they squeeze their heads, and some people have no intention of inserting willows into the yin. Leaving the small desk where he had worked for five years, Fang Ruo was promoted to the director of the department and had his own independent office. Last year, because the newly moved place was far away from the company, it was inconvenient for her to go to work, so she bought a scooter, which made it much easier to commute to work with a car. At the age of 26, these achievements are already the envy of most people.

The car was parked at the entrance of Jinjiang Bay Community, which is a good real estate, located in a scenic area, with many villas and high housing prices, which is a paradise for the rich. Yin Xinyue's family background is good, and her family is good at going to work in the company, but Fang Ruo didn't take it to heart after hearing a few mentions from her colleagues. But she was still a little surprised to stop here today, this is not a place to live that ordinary family conditions can buy, Yin Xinyue is low-key on weekdays, and it is really hidden.

Yin Xinyue cleaned up her mood and said with a smile, "Trouble Sister Fang, send me back so late."

"You're welcome, let's get some rest early." Fang Ruo waved his hand in reply, and then the car drove towards the street.

After driving for a while, passing by the circular overpass, it began to rain at night, and the bean-sized raindrops ticked on the car window, and the rain gradually became heavier, blurring the vision. The substitute driver turned on the wipers, and the driving speed slowed down a little, but fortunately, it was not far from home, and it took about ten minutes to reach the community. Fang Ruo's community is mostly occupied by office workers, and it is an apartment-style room type that is affordable and popular with young people.

The substitute driver parked the car downstairs, and he had to catch an order. Fang Ruo locked the car door and ran into the corridor in the rain to protect his head. It's only about ten paces away, but the rain is not small, and the head and body are still wet.

Fang Ruo didn't like rainy days since he was a child, and he didn't like rain. She feels that the rain is very dirty, and it hurts to hit her body, and the girls in adolescence are thrilled by the scene where the male protagonist is waiting for the arrival of the female protagonist in the rain in the novel, but she doesn't think so, she doesn't think there is any romance in this, the male protagonist is full of water in the rain, and his eyes can't be opened, no matter how handsome a person is, it's not much better than the miserable state of the soup chicken, will the heroine really be moved when she sees it and won't be scared to death?

Fang Ruo moved out after work, she also has a younger brother at home, more than ten years younger than her, her mother is not in good health, she had many miscarriages that year and finally gave birth to this younger brother with half her life, and her parents finally got what they wanted. Anyway, with her younger brother, her parents can no longer take care of her in every detail, which makes her a little nostalgic for the past. She doesn't blame her parents, her parents like boys in their minds, she can understand, but she can't accept it, the mother almost died for giving birth to a boy, is it worth it?

After living in harmony with her family for all these years, she still insisted on moving out after work. If she is indifferent to her family, she does go home less often, but she will make regular phone calls every week, go back to eat on holidays, and transfer money to her family every month to subsidize her life. Her parents saw her like this, and they didn't say anything in the past few years, but they just urged her to consider starting a family, and she also listened to the promise and never refuted, but it was gone, and then, her parents saw that she was not in a hurry, and wanted to introduce her to a blind date, and she was arranged by the family to meet with others, but every time she met, there was no follow-up, no matter how enthusiastic the other party was, she was also faint.

Some of the previous blind dates have already married and had children, but she still has no progress. After a few times, the matchmaker didn't like to help her introduce, and her parents didn't know how to persuade her.

Fang Ruo has always been like this, it is rare to meet someone to talk to, so he will communicate with people with interest. When she can't talk, she doesn't refute other people's words, she doesn't argue if she has different ideas, she can let people say what they want to say, she listens very carefully and nods in response, but it's her business whether she listens or not. She has her own cognitive system, she respects others, but is more true to herself.

After taking a shower, she finally sat down with peace of mind, she leaned sideways and took out a box in the low cabinet next to the bed, in which was a cloth bag, a little old, a bit like a cheap bag bought at the two-dollar store at the entrance of the elementary school, she pulled the drawstring on the bag, and took out a piece of paper inside, which was a sign, and a Buddhist saying written on the front was: Everything is false. There are also words on the back, and the leftmost row of words reads: 376 signatures. On the right is the text of the signature. "Forever Separated".

Fang Ruo read the last sentence of this signature, and then she turned the cloth mouth down and poured out a string of beads, this bead is called the small leaf red sandalwood prayer bead, there are one hundred and eight. In Zen Buddhism, one hundred and eight grains represent: to verify one hundred and eight samadhi, to cut off one hundred and eight kinds of afflictions. There is a pendant at the mouth of the rosary, and a string of tassels is strung with beads under the pendant, and the whole rosary is full of color and has a faint sandalwood fragrance.

She copied the pendant in her hand, and if you looked closely at the pendant, you could see that there was a word - far. Fang Ruo stroked it, his expression serious like a devout believer. It was only at this moment, paralyzed by alcohol, that she felt that she could truly begin to miss him. She didn't dare to forget the past, she was afraid that one day her memory would be blurry, and the ability of time to dilute everything scared her, and she didn't want him to be the one who was taken away by time. Fang Ruo closed his eyes, his expression painful.

After a long time, she opened her eyes and picked up her phone, and it was already 2:47 in the morning. The alcohol made her dizzy, she packed her things away, returned to her usual expression, got up and turned off the light and went to sleep.
