The cool street, the bright moon like a hook, the tranquility of a virgin, and the grace of a princess. The moonlight sprinkled mercilessly on the lonely man, looking very sad.

Looking at the empty street corner, Mo Ming wandered on the road in confusion.

After being separated from Joanna, he has been in a state of absent-mindedness, not knowing where he should go.

It turns out that seventeen years have passed, it can really be described as a thing or a person, Mo Ming sighed, he was a little powerless.

According to Joanna, Thomas and Horton have disappeared, and since they left, the two of them continued to study the potion, and then quarreled over disagreements, and finally joined two different institutions...

Unconsciously, Mo Ming walked to the door of the antique store again, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, a man's exclamation came from behind him, "Smith? ”

Mo Ming looked back and saw that Howard was walking out of the store at this moment, the man strode with his head held high, his hair neatly combed, his face was still handsome, and his two eyebrows were raised high.

Still, he can't escape the traces of time.

"It's really you, oh, we all thought you were dead."

Howard strode over and warmly opened his arms and hugged Mo Ming tightly, "Where have you been?" ”

He looked at Mo Ming suspiciously, since they salvaged the Cosmic Rubik's Cube ten years ago, the institution they formed had been studying it.

Although there has not been much progress yet, it is already possible to sense various energy fluctuations through the designed device.

And just this afternoon, when Howard was about to have a drink, suddenly, the machine showed traces of spatial fluctuations in New York.

He hurriedly put down what he was doing and rushed over, but it was a very coincidental fact that at the same time, he saw his friend who had evaporated from the world for many years again, which made him suspicious.

Stared at Mo Ming strangely, wondering if he had experienced a trip through time and space.

"Let's go, let's go to my house first, let's catch up, I haven't seen each other for many years, look, you're still a young and handsome young man, and I'm almost half a bad old man."

The two smiled at each other and rode in Howard's limousine to his villa in New York, a gorgeous suite inside the carved bronze door.

The furry mink carpet, the jade chairs and jade tables carved from crystal, the jade wooden couches covered by purple and gold veils, and a row of neatly trimmed evergreen trees in the garden, sparsely dropped two flower beds, planted with delicate English roses, carefully arranged, and a swimming pool with suitable water temperature all year round.

"Almost every night when I was younger, I would have a party here, and that was exactly the time, and Rogers' buddies would come over, alas."

The two sat on the recliners, looking at the stars outside the window, the autumn wind and the falling leaves, and Howard began to remember.

Then he took out a good Lafite from a drawer and tried to open it, but was stopped by the latter.

"What's the matter, Smith, I haven't seen you in years, but I don't have to be so rusty."

Mo Ming shook his head and sighed, "Do you have any liquor here, I want to drink some wine from the Celestial Empire." ”

When Howard heard this, his eyes lit up, "Okay, you wait, I just collected some a few days ago, not to mention, that wine is really strong, although I don't like it very much, but this time I am with you, no matter what." ”

For a moment, Howard took a bottle of classical Moutai and gently opened it and placed it on the flat table.

"This is the batch of wines that won gold medals and certificates at the Panama International Exposition in the past five years, and I can't bear it."

With that, he picked up two wine glasses and wanted to pour them, but Mo Ming reached out again to stop them, only to see the latter pull out two small glasses from the box.

"Since it is the wine of the Celestial Empire, drink it in the way of the Celestial Empire, otherwise if you are not careful, it will be like an arrogant dragon, use this."

Howard was not angry, it was the first time he saw a glass in the wine, he watched happily, Mo Ming took the wine with a serious face, and carefully poured it into the wine glass, the turbid liquid flowed into the glass, peaceful and exquisite.

"Hey, since you said that you follow the rules of the Celestial Empire, then I really learned it, let me come first."

Mo Ming nodded, in fact, he didn't know the ritual of drinking at all, but the recent encounter made him miss his hometown more and more, and he felt that being in a foreign land was particularly uncomfortable.

Howard straightened up and stood up, smiled slightly, twisted his fingers, and said in a clear-eyed manner.

"Flowers refer to wine, which is more fragrant than flowers, so holding a cup is like a flower."

Then he lowered his hand lightly and raised his glass gently, without the slightest drop of it.

"The cup is full of courtesy, not overflowing for respect, so it is a light toast, first literature and then martial arts, first salute and then soldiers, and it is called a gentleman deep into the throat."

Howard closed his eyes tightly, frowned tightly, and as if determined, he raised his head and took a sip of it, as if he was about to experience some kind of catastrophe.

"Ahem, spicy, spicy, oh my God, it's so spicy, I really don't understand why you Celestial Dynasty people like to drink this thing."

As soon as Howard drank it all, his face immediately changed drastically, he kept beating, gasping for breath, looking at his painful expression, Mo Ming laughed, "Haha, tell you to pretend, close your mouth and stop talking, take a deep breath and feel it." ”

After speaking, Mo Ming raised the wine glass and drank it all, closed his eyes and savored the mellow silkiness in his mouth, slowly stretched his brows, took a sip of the aftertaste, and threw down the glass heavily.

"A sweep of a thousand autumns, a solution to a thousand sorrows."

Howard nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's what others taught me, it seems that you have been practicing for a long time." ”

Mo Ming laughed, "I don't have so much spare time, but why are you learning this, you don't like to drink the wine of the Celestial Empire." ”

Howard was silent for a moment, and his eyes looked at Mo Ming seriously, "Because I have a friend of the Celestial Empire." ”

The blue night sky gradually deepened, and the stars seemed to be hidden in the sky.

"Drink, drink, keep coming, the wine of the Celestial Empire is really a gift from God."

Both were very drunk, and Howard lay in his chair in a daze, shouting.

"Smith, don't think about it, everyone has different concepts, you Celestial Empire people advocate loyalty, righteousness and benevolence, and although we yearn to follow the strong, we still have our own lives."

As soon as Howard rolled over and fell to the ground, his eyes were hazy, and he was about to be unable to open them, his face was flushed, and he said to Mo Ming drunkenly.

"Okay, I know, you old single don't have to persuade me, I want to go back to the Celestial Empire, and I am needed there."

Mo Ming also raised his glass and shook it at the drunk man on the ground.

"Okay, the Tomorrow Group has been with you for a long time, and now it's time to return it to you."

"You're drunk, Howard!"

"Haha, I'm not uncommon to be just a brainless snack merchant!"
