It's a beautiful city, with a beautiful name - Spring City! There's something special about it in the air.

The wind of the early spring morning always has a slight chill, and people are quickly awake when they breathe.

The summer wind always gives you a burst of coolness, blue skies and white clouds, green trees, green grass and blooming flowers.

Autumn is the most amorous, in the early morning I feel the chill is getting stronger, and at noon it returns to the enthusiasm of summer, and the afternoon wind is cool and pleasant with the fragrance of the sun.

In the early morning of winter, the dry and cold wind of the plateau blows, the cold makes people feel really a little biting cold, the sun will bring warmth to the earth in winter, and the flocks of red-headed gulls that come to spend the winter by the Dianchi Lake fly through the sky, which always makes people excited.

This is her, beautiful, tranquil, gentle Spring City, her beauty is unconsciously imprinted in the hearts of everyone who lives here, if one day you leave her for too long, close your eyes and take a deep breath You can remember her taste and her beauty in the memory.

Lan Chengyu was sitting quietly in front of the window at this time, looking at the sunset on the distant horizon and the city's high-rise buildings, forming a beautiful scene. The window was open, and he took a deep breath, and he could still smell the smell of the afternoon sun in the breeze blowing in his face, clean and dry, with a little sunshine fragrance. He lit a cigarette in front of the window, and looked at the street scene outside the window, there were all kinds of people on the street, and he liked to look at such an evening after work, sometimes to rest and relax, sometimes to think quietly.

It has been two years since Lan Chengyu graduated from university, and he works in an architectural design company, often working overtime when he is busy, and not much when he is free. The place where he lives now is a two-bedroom apartment shared by him and his classmate Li Yi, which is a residential building built in the mid-90s. Although it looks a little old, the most important thing is that the rent is cheap, and the environment is much better than that of the urban village.

Today's sunset is particularly gorgeous with the setting sun, and the clear blue sky seems deeper and purer. Recently, he has been thinking so much that he doesn't want to move for a long time as soon as he sits down. I think of my classmates in high school and college who all went their separate ways, I think of the bold words and ideals I said at the beginning, and then I think of the girl I once had a crush on...... At that time, the youthful and frivolous years began to gradually dissipate in the reality after graduation.

He was so hungry that he protested, he picked up his phone and cigarette and stood up, ready to go downstairs to the street food stall for dinner. At this time, my mind was already thinking about the various snacks in the street stalls and food stalls, "What should I eat tonight?"

The phone suddenly rang with a beautiful guitar and whirlwind, and the caller ID was his classmate Li Yi.

"Hey!" Lan Chengyu picked up his phone.

"Chengyu, are you in the dormitory?" Li Yi's panting voice came from the mobile phone, as if he was walking, and he was still used to calling the place where he lived a dormitory.

"I'm in the dormitory, I'm about to go to dinner, have you eaten, do you want me to wait for you?" Lan Chengyu stopped, turned around and sat on the sofa in the living room, thinking that he happened to have a companion to eat.

"You wait for me in the dormitory first, and I'll be back shortly. The hat god went back to Kunming today, just called us to eat, and he just got off the plane. You wait for me to go back......" Li Yi said as he walked, and his gasp could be heard on his phone.

"The hat god has come to Kunming, okay! Then I'll wait for you to come back first." Lan Chengyu put down his mobile phone and remembered that when he was in college, his roommates in the dormitory played "double buttons", Liu Hao must be hatted every time he plays cards, and even if he wins steadily, he will have a shocking reversal and put on his hat, so he got the nickname of "hat god", so almost no one called him by his real name in college for several years. I haven't seen him for more than two years, and the brothers in the dormitory have run the farthest since graduation......

Ten minutes later, Li Yi came back, carrying a shoulder bag, with some slight sweat on his forehead, and his slightly chubby body panting. It seems that he must have climbed six flights of stairs in a hurry, wiped his sweat and said, "Chengyu will wait for me for a while, it will be fine immediately, I will change my clothes." Li Yi hurriedly went back to the room and put down his bag.

"Is there a beautiful woman coming? What are you going to do here? Lan Chengyu looked at Li Yi who was in a hurry and said.

"No, just the three of us, eat hot pot at the hot pot restaurant near us, and the hat god will take a taxi over, and we will be there in a while. I've been running around the construction site for a day, and my clothes are too dirty. Li Yi hurriedly changed into a casual T-shirt, washed his face in the bathroom, and said, "OK, let's go, have a good drink tonight." ”

The two went out to talk about the past, and when they walked to the street, Lan Chengyu saw a pharmacy across the street, and suddenly remembered that he had wanted to buy a bottle of eye drops for several days, so he said to Li Yi: "Fatty, you wait for me for a while." I went to the pharmacy to buy a bottle of eye drops, and I worked overtime for a long time, and my eyes were a little overwhelmed. ”

"Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you here for a cigarette. Hurry up, the hat god is almost there!" the fat man stood on the side of the street and took out a cigarette and lit it.

Lan Chengyu walked quickly to the other side of the street, and when he walked to the door of the pharmacy, he saw a beautiful and familiar back in front of him, which immediately attracted his attention. Isn't this beautiful figure the beautiful girl he has often met recently, and all he thought about in his mind when he was in a daze recently was her.

I happened to meet her again today, not far away, she was wearing a light blue dress, her graceful figure and fluttering long hair made Lan Chengyu a little intoxicated, if she knew her name, how good it would be, so that she could greet her openly.

It's a pity that Lan Chengyu doesn't know her, and has imagined thousands of pick-up scenarios, but none of them can be put into action. This pain is that I like you very much, and you don't know who I am. But at this time, he was still glad in his heart, "I was so lucky to see her again today, what is her name...... Lan Chengyu's heart was completely placed on her.

I was so fascinated that I was inevitably distracted, I didn't notice the direction under my feet, I guessed that it was time to turn around, but when I turned my face, I saw the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the pharmacy in front of me, and I saw it clearly The moment I saw it, I had already hit it, he covered his head with both hands, and secretly screamed in his heart!

Unexpectedly, there was no pain from the impact on his body, and he didn't even feel the feeling of touching things! When he looked up at the front, a golden light shone through, and the dazzling light made his eyes unable to see the things in front of him, and he only vaguely saw that the blurred image in front of him was like the door of a drugstore, and he was still two steps away from him.

Lan Chengyu was secretly glad in his heart that this was just a false alarm, could it be that he was dazzled just now! Before he could settle down, a huge suction force came from the front, and he was sucked in like this, and he hurriedly raised his eyes to see the source of this golden light, which was a sign with gilt characters on the door, "Item Store", and he entered the pharmacy unharmed.

Hurriedly touched all over his body, nothing was wrong before he settled down, and looked back nervously behind him, the floor-to-ceiling glass of the pharmacy was intact, the door of the pharmacy was open, and the street was bustling with pedestrians.

Lan Chengyu shook his head, and looked at the pharmacy again, only an old man was sitting behind the counter of the pharmacy, squinting at Lan Chengyu.

He smiled at the old man and said, "Hello, I want to buy a bottle of eye drops." ”

The old man was smiling, and his gray hair and beard looked a little bit of the vicissitudes of time. Those eyes were unusually bright and energetic, which was rare at his age, even when he was young.

"Okay, come here, put your hand out and number one. The old man said in an unhurried tone, stretching out his right hand and posing for a pulse.

"I just want to buy eye drops for health care, I don't need a pulse. Lan Chengyu said in his mouth, but he also stretched out his hand, the old man's magnetic voice and kind eyes gave people a convincing charm, making him feel that it was difficult to refuse.

"It doesn't hurt you to take a look. "The old man should be an old Chinese medicine doctor, smiling with a smile on his face and a beard on his other hand. Lan Chengyu looked out of the door anxiously at this time and saw that Li Yi was still smoking across the street.

"Well, I'm in good shape, change my other hand. The old Chinese medicine doctor said.

"Sir, I just need to buy a bottle of eye drops to relieve eye fatigue, so I don't need to be so troublesome. Lan Chengyu was very strange in his heart, but he still stretched out his hand when he looked at the old man's determined gaze.

"Young people, don't be in a hurry, you can only use potions when you have the right pulse. The old Chinese medicine doctor said to himself a little stubbornly.

Lan Chengyu had some doubts in his heart, could it be that this old Chinese medicine doctor couldn't prescribe Chinese medicine for himself? Wouldn't that be too troublesome. I looked at the furnishings in the pharmacy, and fortunately there were Chinese medicine and Western medicine. No matter how the old Chinese medicine doctor recommended himself to take Chinese medicine at that time, he decided that he would only buy a bottle of eye drops.

After a while, the old Chinese medicine doctor finished his pulse and said, "The young man is in good health, but his eyes have been tired and his vision has decreased recently, and his liver fire is a little heavy. ”

"I'm just tired, I'm not sick, right?" Lan Chengyu thought to himself, you have been calling for a long time, and it is not the same as my conclusion.

"No sickness. The old Chinese medicine doctor said as he found a bottle among the many eye drops on the counter, and then looked at the package in detail, as if to confirm something, before handing it to Lan Chengyu.

Lan Chengyu took it and almost didn't faint, isn't this the common kind of eye drops, so he asked a little angrily: "Isn't this bottle the same as the others?"

"Is it the same? It's different, every bottle is different, everyone's fate is different!" the old Chinese medicine doctor smiled meaningfully, "Young man, remember! ”

"Oh, okay, how much is this?" Lan Chengyu said with a smile, he left in his heart, not caring about the old man's words.

"Twelve pieces eight, thank you!" the old Chinese medicine doctor said calmly.

Lan Chengyu paid the money and was about to leave the pharmacy, and when he went out, the old Chinese medicine doctor said: "Remember to quit smoking and drink less!"

"Oh!" Lan Chengyu responded, he walked out of the pharmacy anxiously, Li Yi may be in a hurry.

Lan Chengyu didn't know at this time that his life would change from the time he got this potion, and what happened after that, and the various experiences he would go through in the future, would be a fantastical journey that he had never imagined in his previous twenty years!
