After the middle-aged man left, Gao Chuan stood at the door, facing Yunlong Lake across the road for a while, he kept thinking about what the man said just now, and his head was like a mess.

His stomach growled twice, and then he felt hungry.

At this moment, the sky was almost dark, and the last trace of the afterglow of the remnant sun struggled to emit a red light that was about to fade, and black shadows gradually appeared on the water surface of Yunlong Lake, and only layers of outlines remained in the mountains in the distance.

There are a lot of children playing on the beach by the lake, and many couples are talking on the wooden trestle that extends to the lake, which is a great place for a date, and the wooden trestle goes around the lake and turns to the shore, lined with clumps of lotus leaves, which provides a good cover for those young couples who are still in the tentative stage.

The lights began to light up in the city, and the traffic on the road turned on the lights. For most of the people who wander the city, what they are about to do is just another lonely night.

Gao Chuan dialed Qi Hai's phone.

"Hey, Ogawa, what's wrong?" A familiar voice came from the other end of the line.

"Qi Hai, are you busy? Let me tell you, I just met a strange person who said something inexplicable to me, will you be free? I'm looking for you. Takagawa asked.

"Strange people? What strange people? ”

"It's just a middle-aged man who asked me something about my grandfather, don't ask yet, I'll tell you more when we meet."

"Well, okay, come on, I'm in the hotel, you haven't eaten yet, if you don't, come and eat together."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Chuan touched his somewhat deflated stomach and thought, then hold on for a while.

The hotel Qi Hai said was a restaurant called "Sauvignon Blanc" that he owned, about 30 minutes away from Gao Chuan's studio, so Gao Chuan often went there.

The two of them grew up together, Qi Hai was three years older than him and more like his older brother. Both of them have no father or mother, they both grew up with their grandfathers, and their grandfathers are also old acquaintances. Many years ago, two eccentric old men moved into the deep mountains and old forests, where they chartered a forest farm, so they were each other's only playmates for many years as children.

Qi Hai is a very powerful person, very business-minded, a few years ago, the hotel that was about to close down at that time, after his own operation and rectification, now it is doing well, the business is very good, and at the same time making a lot of money. As for the photography studio opened by Takakawa, it is almost like a joke.

There were more cars on the road, and the routine evening rush hour of every working day arrived on time, Gao Chuan didn't want to waste time on the road, so he rode his second-hand "Giant" bicycle to the "Sauvignon Blanc Hotel".

Heading east along the "Peace Avenue", he soon ascended the majestic Peace Bridge, which was an uphill climb that made him feel so strained that he had to lift his butt and increase the strength of his legs.

After a lot of effort, Gao Chuan felt a little sweaty on his body, rode on the bridge, walked across the gentle bridge deck, and the bridge was a long downhill. The bike slips like the wind when going downhill.

Various buildings on the side of the road are constantly changing, passing through the "Chu King Mausoleum Scenic Area", which is not far from the hotel.

The traffic jam on the Peace Avenue has begun to be fixed twice a day, and Gao Chuan is secretly glad that he is riding a bicycle and the road is unimpeded.

When he came to the hotel, the hotel's doorman Peng Peng greeted him warmly, Peng Peng was a young man of his age.

"Yo, Boss Gao is here." Peng Peng opened the door for him as he spoke.

"Your boss is upstairs, right?" Takakawa asked, in response.

"Yes."

The hotel seemed to be full, Gao Chuan took the elevator and came to Qi Hai's office on the third floor. Before I entered the door, I saw that the door of the office was open, and it seemed that I was already waiting for me.

Gao Chuan walked into the office, sat on the sofa without saying hello, and shouted while taking off his coat: "Mom, I'm tired to death." ”

When Qi Hai saw him come in, he got up and walked to the door, and asked as he closed the door, "You came on your little donkey again?" Didn't I tell you to take a taxi? ”

"Come on, it's the evening rush hour, if you take a taxi, it's estimated that you're still stuck on the Peace Bridge!"

Qi Hai poured him a glass of water and said, "Drink saliva first, and I'll take you out to eat later." ”

Gao Chuan took the water cup and took a sip, and Qi Hai sat opposite him. Gao Chuan saw Qi Hai sitting over, and thought of the middle-aged man's words when he said Qi Hai, "That kid is terminally ill and will live in a few years", what does this mean?

Gao Chuan looked at Qi Hai while drinking water, trying to find some clues of illness from him, but Qi Hai didn't make a sound, and sat motionless opposite to watch him drink water.

After Gao Chuan looked up and down, he didn't find much difference, but found that Qi Hai's face was whiter, and the skin on that face was not white, but also very delicate, almost catching up with a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and he couldn't tell at all that this was a twenty-eight-year-old man who was about to run for three. But Gao Chuan knew that Qi Hai's complexion was like this, which used to make him envious, because he was a blackened physique, and he could be black after a while in the sun, and it would take a long time to recover.

"What are you looking at?" Qi Hai asked.

"I see why are you whiter than before?" Takakawa said.

Qi Hai smiled and replied, "Can you see this?" Then if you look at it again, what else can you see? ”

Hearing Qi Hai say this, Gao Chuan looked at him more carefully, but after watching it for a long time, there was no obvious change except for the whitening of his skin.

Gao Chuan shook his head and said, "I can't see it, haven't you always been like this?" ”

Qi Hai raised his hand and stroked a handful of thick hair and said, "Look at my hair." ”

Gao Chuan glanced at it and asked, "What's wrong with your hair?" ”

Qi Hai said: "I feel that the color of my hair has changed, don't you notice that it is getting darker and darker?" ”

Gao Chuan was shocked, could it be that Qi Hai had already felt a change in his body? Could it be that what the man said was true? He tried his best to be silent and said, "Well, it seems to be a bit when you say it, but the hair is originally black, isn't it better looking and healthier?" ”

Seeing Gao Chuan's serious appearance, Qi Hai pursed his lips and chuckled, waited for a while, looked at Gao Chuan and said, "That's it, I just spent money to do it two days ago, or the money will not be spent in vain!" ”

Gao Chuan heard that Qi Hai was joking with himself, and he was a little relieved, and he also laughed: "Hey! I thought... Haha, look at your stinky. ”

"What do you think?"

Gao Chuan hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I thought I could tan you after a summer!" ”

Qi Hai slumped back and said, "Then I must bask in the sun more, by the way, what did you say happened when you met a strange person?" ”

Gao Chuan was thinking about how to tell Qi Hai, and his stomach "growled" again.
