The autumn night in this coastal city blows a bleak and cold wind.

The huge leaves of the plane trees on the street were blown off by the cold autumn wind. Before he could dance in the wind and say his final goodbye to his mother, he was swept away by the air current.

At midnight in late autumn, the moonlight is slightly cool, casting a lonely and cold glow. Koji held his mobile phone, put it to his ear, and listened anxiously. But he called for a long time, but he didn't see the other party answering.

Xia Xue's phone was never answered tonight. Park Shiyi's phone is turned off, maybe there is no power. Where can I find them in the middle of the night?

Xiaoji looked left and right, and the night wind slowly blew away the thick fog, revealing the blue and black streets. Xiaozhi was wearing a white shirt, and a cold wind poured into his neck. Koji cocked his collar and put one hand in his trouser pocket as he returned to the coffee shop.

Forget it, let's stay in the store honestly and wait for the rabbit! Two adults, there shouldn't be any problems. Otherwise, there is not even a goal, where to find it? Koji closed the door of the store, lay on the sofa in the lounge, and fell asleep with his eyes squinted.

Xia Xue and Park Shiyi are already in the hottest disco in the city at the moment.

It's not quite accurate to say that this is a discotheque. Because there is also a circular bar on the ground floor, with the best bartenders in the city, challenging the needs of all kinds of taste buds.

To the right of the bar, there is a large circular dance floor. When midnight comes, the DJ will play the hottest music, and the dance floor will shake and drift strongly with the music, causing the red men and women standing on it to let out a series of sharp screams.

To the left of the bar is a large booth that rises slightly above the ground. The area is very wide, with black leather seats, sofas, and dim lights. Even if two people sit opposite each other, they won't be able to see each other's faces clearly.

Hazy, dark, ambiguous, hormone-breeding medium. The faces with different contours have the same emotions, that is, loneliness and emptiness. Trying to use a night of carnival to cover up the inner holes.

On a long couch sat several fashionable young girls with long hair. With cigarettes in their mouths, they crossed Erlang's legs uninhibitedly and boldly, and leaned back on the sofa in a large arc. There was a long row of shy, immature boys, standing in unison facing them.

A few arrogant girls pointed at the row of boys in front of them. Among them, there was a girl with huge earrings who shook her head disdainfully. Immediately, another girl, who seemed to be the eldest sister, waved impatiently at the row of boys. So, the row of boys all withdrew.

In less than two minutes, another row of boys, with new face outlines, stood in front of the girls. The same pickiness and screening, indifferent taste, re-enacted. The vivid colors at night are far more real than those during the day.

Xia Xue's head was still dizzy. But Park Shiyi wanted to pull her to this kind of place, saying that she wanted to relive the old dreams of youth.

Xia Xue looked at the wooden boys blankly, and felt a faint pain for them. Such an undisguised selection completely removes the premise of feelings, and all the emotional details become formulaic, so that those hearts who are chosen, how can they be embarrassed?

The cruelty of human nature is always side by side with the ugliness hidden in the depths. Everyone in life is unconsciously in the process of choosing and being chosen. Every involuntary win or loss is the result of elimination and elimination. Fortunately, all of this is carried out in the implicit.

Park Shiyi pulled Xia Xue and sat on a round stool in front of the bar.

"Hey, handsome guy, two bombers!" Park Shiyi said, casually throwing over a few large bills.

The young bartender, taking the money, began to bartend. In the blink of an eye, he concocted two glasses of well-layered wine and placed them in front of Xia Xue and Pu Shiyi, and put a straw in each cup.

The bartender, took out the lighter, approached the edge of the glass, raised his eyes and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, when the flame is lit later, you must drink it in one gulp!" Only in this way can you truly experience the feeling of ice and fire! ”

Before Xia Xue could fully come to her senses, the surface of the wine instantly ignited with blue flames.

Park Shiyi quickly approached the mouth of the cup, and at the same time touched Xia Xue with her elbow. Xia Xue understood, wrapped the straw without thinking, and drank the wine in the cup in one go.

"Wow! It's so cool! After the moment of summer snow, it seemed that he had been immersed in the blue flames. Between ice and fire, it seems that he has experienced the poles of life and death in an instant, and when he opened his eyes again, there was a kind of joy for the rest of his life.

Park Shiyi saw Xia Xue's amazing eyes, and simply ordered three cups of "bomber" in succession. Drinking all the way, I tasted one after another: the sweet and sour Margaret, the fruity Singapore Commander, the salty and sweet Bloody Mary, and the refreshing and exciting Jin Fishi.

Xia Xue's mind was completely in chaos, her tongue became stiff and numb, and her body seemed to float in the air. She pushed her glass aside and leaned on the bar, her eyes closed feebly. In a trance, it was as if I had returned to a similar scene many years ago.

"Hey, Xia Xue, wake up, okay?" A familiar man's voice was gently calling Xia Xue.

Xia Xue barely raised her head, leaned her neck hard, and saw a clean and handsome face. This man, where do you seem to have seen it? He smiled beautifully, and the corners of his mouth curved upward, like a small crescent.

"Xia Xue, don't you know me? We were classmates, and we even participated in the literature club together! The man gently patted Xia Xue's shoulder reservedly, as if he was afraid that Xia Xue would suddenly fall asleep.

Xia Xue thought in a daze, and fragments of the past rolled in her mind. Suddenly, I felt a light in my eyes.

"President! You're the president! Xia Xue laughed wantonly, and finally remembered who the other party was.

The man sat down next to Xia Xue and nodded with relief, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Actually, the president's appearance hasn't changed much. It's just that his shoulders are wider than before, his chest is stronger and heavier than before, and his face is a little more mature and wise.

Park Shiyi was lying on her stomach on the other side of Xia Xue. Hearing Xia Xue talking to someone, she raised her head ignorantly, squinted her eyes, and looked at this man with drunken eyes.

The president shouted in surprise: "Park Shiyi, you are here too!" When I passed by the bar just now, I just saw the silhouette of Xia Xue, and suddenly I felt a little familiar, so I walked over. ”

Park Shiyi's sanity seemed to have regained consciousness for a while. She hardened her tongue and said, "Grand President, you are still so handsome and beautiful, I really didn't expect 、、、、、、 to be so coincidental." ”

The president smiled sheepishly. Maybe a big man, facing two drunk and gaffe women, is a dilemma for him?

The president was silent for a while, and then said, "I rushed back to my parents' house from out of town to celebrate the holiday. I happened to meet an acquaintance at the airport, and I hadn't seen him for many years, so I had to take me to enjoy the nightlife. It's so late, and it's not safe for the two of you to be outside. Why don't I send you home? ”

Xia Xue and Park Shiyi glanced at each other in unison, then nodded to each other and said okay.

The president smiled mildly and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll come right over." Then he walked in the direction of the dance floor.

About ten minutes later, the president and a tall, burly man walked up to the bar. The president, carefully picked up Xia Xue, leaned on her ear and said loudly: "Xia Xue, can you still walk by yourself?" If not, can I carry you to the car? ”

The music above the dance floor is deafening and the world is spinning. Xia Xue looked at the president's mouth in surprise, trying to listen to what he said. However, she couldn't hear anything, and asked the president a few times, asking him what he was talking about.

The president smiled helplessly, whispered a few words to the strong man beside him, and the two men smiled and nodded to each other.

Before Xia Xue could understand, the president suddenly hugged Xia Xue in his arms, walked through the dense and restless crowd, and walked towards the exit.

Park Shiyi, carried by the strong man, walked forward with his head held high. Park Shiyi probably felt very uncomfortable, sometimes struggling, but unable to do anything. It's like a fish that has been caught ashore, flipping its belly in vain and spitting bubbles.

On the side of the road, a private car has been parked. The driver was standing next to the car, and when he saw the president coming over, he hurriedly opened the car door and rushed over to help.

The three of them finally got into the car, and the president asked Park Shiyi and Xia Xue for their addresses. Park Shiyi rolled her eyelids and finally said her home address.

After hearing this, the driver started the car and drove all the way to Park Shiyi's home. About twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of Ms. Park's home.

The president helped Park Shiyi out of the car, turned around and told Xia Xue to wait for him in the car and not to worry. After speaking, the president put one of Park Shiyi's arms around his neck, and the other arm supported Park Shiyi's waist, like a pair of difficult brothers, walking alone with difficulty.

Xia Xue closed her eyes and leaned on the back seat, a cold wind blew, and her mind seemed to be a little more sober than just now. It's just that in my stomach, I feel uncomfortable with the fire.

The president finally returned to the car, his cheeks slightly reddened, and he was a little embarrassed and annoyed. Could it be that Park Shiyi made him angry? Xia Xue thought to herself, but didn't say anything.

The president got into the car and slammed the door shut. Tilted his head to look at Xia Xue and asked where her address was?

Although Xia Xue drank a lot of wine, her reason was not completely blurred. She thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you go to the coffee shop I run?" I would like 、、、、、、 ask the president to try the coffee in our shop. ”

The president sighed in amazement: "It's amazing, Xia Xue, you actually opened a coffee shop!" ”

Xia Xue held her spirit, bowed her head slightly, and said, "Where." However, I'm really embarrassed tonight to let you see our gaffe. Thank you so much for sending us two drunkards home. ”

The president smiled kindly, looked into Xia Xue's eyes and said, "Actually, the way you get drunk is really cute." Let me see you, the beauty of the other side, it's really a fatal temptation! ”

Xia Xue lowered her head embarrassedly, and her shyness became a little heavier.

The car arrived in front of the coffee shop and parked quietly on the side of the street. The president held Xia Xue's arm with one hand, and the other hand was high above her head, fearing that the car frame would touch the top of Xia Xue's head.

The president told the driver that he could go back. Looking at the car, it disappeared into the faint mist, and then he hugged Xia Xue in his arms again and walked towards the café.

Xia Xue took out the key from her bag and was about to break free so that she could open the door of the house. Unexpectedly, the door automatically opened, and a tall and slender figure blocked the main entrance.
