It was another dreamless night, and I woke up feeling the weakness of my hands.

Cheng Jiyun sat up from the bed, only to find that the strap was tightly held in his palm. He once told Shi Wei never to take it off, and who took it off now?

Cheng Jiyun changed her clothes, but she didn't want to go to work, and when she slipped all the way to the door of Jasmine's restaurant, Anna's figure was still busy inside.

He walked into the store and helped remove the chairs that were on the table and put it back in order.

Seeing Cheng Jiyun silently tidy up without saying a word, Anna didn't ask him anything, judging from his tired face, even if he took a day off, he didn't get any relief.

When he was busy at lunch, Cheng Jiyun was just doing the simplest work, but he seemed powerless, and he felt that the hopes he had saved up these days were suddenly dashed.

"Chen, are you alright?" Anna asked during the lunch break.

"I'm fine." Cheng Jiyun replied, but leaned back in his chair listlessly.

"You're in a very different state than before."

"Well, a little disappointed." Cheng Jiyun lowered his head, "It suddenly feels like life has lost its goal again." ”

"Huh." Anna laughed, "Isn't the purpose of life defined by yourself?" If you lose one, you can look for the next one. ”

"Looking for the next one?" Cheng Jiyun looked at her and carefully tasted the chicken soup sent by Anna, "How do you feel about living in this city?" ”

Anna was surprised for a moment, but changed to her usual gentle smile: "For me, this city is just for life, and I don't expect it to bring me any hope. ”

"Are you not satisfied?" Cheng Jiyun asked.

"Satisfied?" Anna replied with a smile, "How can you not be satisfied with the right environment, the job with food and clothing, and the family and friends?" ”

Cheng Jiyun nodded: "Yes." ”

"What about you?" Anna asked.

"Me......" Cheng Jiyun thought, who else is around? It turned out that the two people who walked together have become a thing of the past, so there is still one more person......

As soon as he thought about it, he saw someone outside the restaurant waving to him enthusiastically.

"Chen Xizhou?" Cheng Jiyun got up from the chair and walked outside the restaurant, "Why are you here?" ”

"The last time you got drunk, people became weird, and I didn't find you for a day yesterday, so I thought about coming here to see you, are you still alive." Chen Xizhou said, "Are you forgetful?" ”

"What?" Cheng Jiyun was stunned for a moment, and looked back at Anna, "No." ”

"I didn't say it was her." Chen Xizhou smiled, "I said the ...... in the bar"

"The one in the bar?" Cheng Jiyun was even more confused, could it be that he was drunk that time, "What's wrong in the bar?" ”

Chen Xizhou looked at him and confirmed that he really couldn't remember?

"You were drunk at the time, and a beautiful woman sent you back."

"Beauty?" Cheng Jiyun was even more confused, "What the hell is going on?" I'm not impressed, I'm broken! ”

Chen Xizhou was urged by him like this, and suddenly felt that he was talking too much, and he probably forgot about this matter a long time ago.

"It's nothing, forget it." Chen Xizhou waved his hand casually, wanting to escape.

"Don't go." Cheng Jiyun grabbed him, "Make it clear." ”

"Ahh Chen Xizhou's face was embarrassed, "You forgot yourself, why do you still rely on me?" ”

"Then I'll ask you to tell me now, what's wrong, okay?" Cheng Jiyun asked word by word.

"Okay." Chen Xizhou cleared his throat, "You really drank too much that day, and you accosted a beautiful woman, saying that she smelled good, and then people took you away." I thought you two were going to do something, but when I got back, I realized that she had just sent you back and left on her own. ”

Cheng Jiyun really didn't have any impression of this.

"And what does she look like?"

"What does it look like?" Chen Xizhou thought about it carefully, "I didn't see it clearly at the bar, and when I came back later, I passed her downstairs, just a curly glance, she had curly hair, was very tall, and her skin was very white. ”

Shi Wei? Is it Shi Wei?

Cheng Jiyun's eyes widened, and the memories of that night kept churning in her mind, such a woman is very similar to Shi Wei's appearance, could it really be Shi Wei?

However, on that day, he had the illusion that it smelled of clothes......

"Hello? Feed! Cheng Jiyun! Chen Xizhou saw that he was distracted, and quickly called him twice, "Are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine!" Cheng Jiyun suddenly came to his senses, "Next Tuesday, it's Ladies Night, right?" ”

"Uh......" Chen Xizhou was taken aback by the sudden question, "Yes, that's right." ”

"Then we'll go again." Cheng Jiyun's eyes shone brightly.

"Huh?" Chen Xizhou was surprised, "Are you sure?" ”

"Sure!" Cheng Jiyun was sure, "Let's go and have a good time together." ”

"Well, well."

Cheng Jiyun's originally cloudy face was finally refreshed, revealing a long-lost lightness.

"Okay, I'm going to work, I'll talk to you when I get back!" Cheng Jiyun shirked Chen Xizhou and left, "Thank you for coming to see me." ”

"Huh?" Chen Xizhou was pushed by him like this, and then watched Cheng Jiyun enter the restaurant, waved his hand to him, and said goodbye, this guy also said that he didn't get carried away when he saw it, and when he heard the beauty, he immediately came to the heart, didn't he?

Chen Xizhou shook his head and turned around to leave, only to find a lady in a black uniform coming to the intersection, because she was wearing sunglasses, so she couldn't see her eyes, but her temperament could be said to be quite elegant, and she walked into the jasmine restaurant with catwalks all the way.

"Wow." Chen Xizhou secretly commented, this is really charming.

……

Finally waited until Tuesday night, Cheng Jiyun didn't have time to change his clothes as usual, and ran directly to the time machine bar.

At night, the bar's old building is decorated with neon tubes. In the long queue, fortunately, Chen Xizhou lined up for him in advance.

"Have you been developed lately?" Chen Xizhou asked with a smile, "You have so much money to drink?" ”

"Nope." Cheng Jiyun replied, "I also borrowed it." ”

After saying this, Cheng Jiyun felt a little guilty, she had a little conflict with Sunny before, and she didn't pay it back yet, so she asked Anna to borrow some this time, but she owed a favor.

"I don't have much money, don't drink indiscriminately." Cheng Jiyun reminded him.

"Drinking?" Chen Xizhou was unconvinced, "I won't, it was you last time, cup after cup, and you drank endlessly." ”

Cheng Jiyun closed his mouth, and he could imagine that he had drunk all the pieces.

"Are you trying to find the beautiful woman from last time?" Chen Xizhou leaned into his ear and asked in a low voice.

Cheng Jiyun glanced at him: "Hmm." ”

"Hahaha." Chen Xizhou laughed, "I can't even figure you out, last time you were talking nonsense, you were going to find your girlfriend, and this time you went back to the bar to find another one, are you too careful?" ”

"It's not." Cheng Jiyun replied seriously: "I just suspect that they are the same person." ”

"One?" Chen Xizhou didn't understand, "If the one I met in the bar last time was your girlfriend, why didn't she recognize you?" ”

Cheng Jiyun hesitated: "I don't know." ”

"I said you were drunk, made a mistake."

"I'm guessing, too, so I'd like to check it out." Cheng Jiyun took a breath, "I just hope so." ”

Chen Xizhou shrugged: "Okay, I won't drink more of yours, one cup is enough." ”

Finally, the two of them entered the bar, and at a glance, it seemed that there were many more people today than before. Cheng Jiyun looked for the person who might be her in the head, but in the flickering lights, there was no accurate and clear target.

At this time, Chen Xizhou suddenly arched Cheng Jiyun's arm with his elbow and asked, "Look, is that person the one you were looking for last time?" ”

Looking in the direction he was pointing, Cheng Jiyun quickly recognized the guy, the clothes had not changed at all, and he was still lazy with a wine glass.

Cheng Jiyun walked through the crowd and walked to him, and the man turned around and happened to see him.

"Can you have a chat?" Cheng Jiyun asked.

The man raised an eyebrow: "Yes." ”

The bathroom of the bar is relatively isolated from some irritable music, because everyone has just started drinking, and there are only two of them in the bathroom.

"What do I call you?" Cheng Jiyun asked.

"Me?" The man's body shook a little, and although there was wine in the cup, it was not already drunk. "Just call me Mu San."

"Kizo?" Cheng Jiyun confirmed, "Name?" ”

"Haha, it's just a code name." He laughed.

"Oh, are the speakeasies all codenamed?" Cheng Jiyun asked.

"It's not." Mu San took a sip of wine, opened the door of a toilet cubicle, and sat down on the toilet lid, "I think the code name is very kind." ”

"Okay."

Mu San looked at Cheng Jiyun, full of worries, and asked, "What?" You're not dead yet? Want any more news? ”

Cheng Jiyun also looked at him: "I received a package, I suspect she sent it to me." ”

"Oh?" Mu San didn't seem surprised, "Then you just doubt my professionalism?" ”

"No, I just wanted to make another confirmation."

"Hmm." Mu San took another sip of wine, "That's it, anyway, I'm not short of money to spend now, so I'll just tell you more." ”

Cheng Jiyun looked at him expectantly.

"Shi Wei, this name, I checked it for a friend a long time ago." Mu San said slowly, and the sound of drums outside the door was beating nervously like Cheng Jiyun's heartbeat. "But after the disappearance of the students in the university town was over, I knew that there was this person inside."

"Missing?" Cheng Jiyun's mind was a little confused, but he remembered what the stupid big man told him in prison, "Is it the outdoor hiking thing?" ”

"Yes." Mu San replied, "It is because of this incident that it has become a fuse and completely closed the entire city, as you can see now, he is like an independent individual, and only qualified people can live here." ”

Cheng Jiyun didn't really understand: "Why? ”

"Cut off the crisis from the outside world." Mu San shrugged, "They all say that the outside world is very dangerous, who knows what kind of danger it is?" Could it be an alien invasion? ”

After saying that, Mu San laughed to himself.

Cheng Jiyun sighed, and could only half-believe what he said: "I think it's more like a conspiracy." ”

"Conspiracy?" Kizo looked at him with one eye open.

"Don't you think it's all a plot between Choose and the city government?" Cheng Jiyun propped his hands on the door frame, "What is a qualified person?" Who is not qualified again? It's a beautiful place, but it's not realistic at all, it's fake. ”

"Hmph." Mu San shook his head, "Hahahaha." ”

Mu San finished the wine in the cup in one gulp: "It's rare to meet someone who understands." However, there are always people who want to come in desperately, because good things are always enviable. ”

"No, I'm not envious." Cheng Jiyun put down his hand, "I believe that outside this man-made paradise, there is an oasis, where there is still fresh and free air, as well as the changing seasons, clouds and sunshines. ”

Mu San got up from the toilet and clapped his hands: "That's a good point, but aren't you the same as working hard to prove yourself in order to live here?" ”

Cheng Jiyun was stunned, is he like this?

"I want to stay here because I want to find Shi Wei."

"Well, I told you, she's dead, so there's no reason for you to stay here, do you?"

Cheng Jiyun looked at Mu San's side that was slowly turning red, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Haha." Mu San patted him on the shoulder, "Relax, you live for yourself, not for anyone." ”

Cheng Jiyun naturally knew in his heart: "I understand, I just want to live clearly." ”

"Clearly?" Mu San couldn't help but laugh at him, "How old are you?" Do you think you're still twenty years old? Here, people who don't want to understand can live freely. ”

After Mu San finished speaking, he opened the door of the bathroom, and the noise hit again, wrapping him in a flashy world again, and the door was closed, and the world was still dull.

Cheng Jiyun looked at himself in the mirror, he was no longer in his early twenties, and he worked according to his mood. What are the consequences of every impulse, and you should know a lot better than the average person, right? But his face is full of stubbornness, that is, he is unwilling to accept the reality that others tell him.

More than ten years ago, they were all Shi Wei is a weirdo, but in the process of their relationship, he saw better than anyone how determined and confident Shi Wei was. More importantly, they all believe equally in what they see and what they see.

So, is Shi Wei really dead? Cheng Jiyun didn't believe it, unless he really saw Shi Wei's body.

Cheng Jiyun pushed open the door of the bathroom and walked to the noisy bar, where Chen Xizhou was at the bar, drinking a glass of wine alone.

At a glance, outside the open door of the bar, Mu San was wearing a woman in a long black dress, about to leave the bar, her curly and fluffy hair, so familiar......
