It was already midnight, but Ren Sinian didn't feel sleepy, she hugged her knees with one hand, hid her bewitching body in the comfortable bamboo chair on her body, and held a slender cigarette in the other hand.

The fireworks burst on, and the slender white smoke between the two fingers ignited with sparks, like midnight fireworks, like a lover's bright eyes.

Like the meteor that flashed outside the window, it was so detailed that it was not stained with dust.

A long time ago, she didn't like this kind of thing that was at the mercy of others in her hand, but after a long time, after experiencing too much, she suddenly realized that she could only hold this finger-thin thing in her hand.

Ren Sinian only occasionally took a sip, and it was indifferently slightly cold into his throat, like ice water bursting into his chest.

Taste it, the kind that can lower all feelings, all loneliness to the ground, all time to stand still, and many trivial things in the world have been completely put out of the body, waiting for the green smoke to be spit out of the mouth.

At other times, Ren Sinian would rather watch the burning fire, gradually devouring the white smoke bones, and letting the light smoke be graceful and drift away. In the end, in an instant, he withdrew indifferently.

Lonely, like a goblin scattered in infinite space, there is no way to follow. Time is far away, taking away the innocence of the past, and also taking away the emotion that cannot be recovered.

During the banquet that night, Cheng Jin didn't feel it at all, the woman standing in front of him was once the person he loved most in this life? It's just a different painting skin, so people can't recall, even if the mountains and seas oath, they are as frivolous as a feather.

It's not as good as the cigarette between your fingers, although there is a time to burn out, but it must give her a lingering warmth!

But what about him Cheng Jin?

What is gone is gone, in exchange for the coldness of a passer-by when they meet?

Ten years, ten years has only changed her appearance, but her inner ...... has never changed.

It's just that even the people who used to be closest to him can't see it.

"Sister Ren, your coffee!"

Leng Yi put the brewed coffee on the small table next to the bamboo chair, and then stood quietly next to Ren Sinian, hanging his head and saying nothing.

In the past few days, they have lived very peacefully, although Ren Sinian rarely speaks, he is still good, never embarrassed for him, and has never made any excessive requests.

Last time, he took the money given by Ren Sinian, went home, exchanged all the money in kind, and sent the rest to the school, handed over to his younger brother and sister's homeroom teacher, and temporarily stored it.

He knew very well that his mother couldn't stop his father, if he gave the money directly to his mother, and he left the house with his front foot, his father would be able to send the money to the mahjong parlor with his back foot.

After he came back, Ren Sinian didn't ask him how he spent the money, and he didn't even ask him where he went.

Leng Yi always felt that Ren Sinian was a very strange woman, when they were together, she rarely smiled, and there was always an indescribable melancholy in those flowing eyes.

Yesterday, Qin Yisan also secretly approached him and asked him to speculate on Ren Sinian's thoughts in his heart, which party he would hand over the final agency of White Camellia.

Leng Yi was very afraid of this man who had left a cigarette scar in his palm, he trembled and agreed to Qin Yisan, saying that he would inquire about him, but when he really faced Ren Sinian, he couldn't open his mouth anyway.

"Leng Yi, have you ever seen the sea?"

Just when Leng Yi was thinking about how to not arouse Ren Sinian's disgust and complete the task given to him by Qin Yisan, Ren Sinian asked such a sentence thoughtlessly.

"No, I haven't seen it, I was born here, I grew up here, I haven't been to a place with a sea!"

Leng Yi told the truth, in this very ordinary northern city, there is no such thing as Ren Sinian said, and he, a poor family and a heavy burden, have made him lose the freedom of being a young man prematurely.

Not to mention going to other places to see the sea, in the past, even going home alone was considered a luxury.

"When I was young, I had a wish, that is, I wanted to take the boy I liked to the beach to watch the ebb and flow of the tide once, but when I grew up, I realized that it was easy to watch the ebb and flow of the tide, but it was too difficult to keep the boy I liked!"

Ren Sinian put the cigarette between his fingers, sipped it in his lips, took a hard breath, and spit it out heavily.

That cigarette, in such a puff and puff, has gone through the whole journey of its life.

Leng Yi hurriedly and obediently pushed the fireworks cylinder to where Ren Sinian was within reach, and watched Ren Sinian discard the cigarette tail inside.

Suddenly, there was a feeling of sadness, and with the tail of the cigarette that had been discarded in the fireworks vat, welled up from my heart.

He was afraid that he himself would be like that cigarette tail, and one day, he would be discarded like Ren Sinian, and Qin Yisan, who was thinking about it, would be even more unable to ask.

"Leng Yi, if Qin Yisan comes to ask you about the white camellia, you can tell him that Miss Ren said that she will not forget the joy of fish and water given by Mr. Qin, so that he doesn't have to worry!"

Ren Sinian stretched out his body from the bamboo chair and walked down, a pair of white feet without any shoes and socks lightly stepped on Leng Yi's feet.

The lotus-like hands were tightly wrapped around Leng Yi's neck, and the lips like red roses were still attached to Leng Yi's cold lips when Leng Yi didn't have time to think.

"If you want to stay by my side for a long time, just listen to me, Qin Yisan, I have my own way of dealing with it, and I won't make you sad from it, but I still say the same thing, do what you should do, don't do what you shouldn't do, don't touch it!"

When the lips and teeth touched, and the lips lingered, Ren Sinian's cold words slowly flowed out of the mouth like a fire.

Leng Yi, who was hugged by her, blinked his eyes and said softly, "Yes!" ”

In this transaction, the most voiceless is his gift that has been sent back and forth, with the title of the protagonist, but not even as good as props, at most a puppet!
