On autumn nights, the moon is bright and the stars are abundant, and the sky is high. The W-shaped constellation Cassiopeia shines brightly in the northeastern sky.

This is located in the western suburbs of H City in the mountainous area, like a lake sapphire set on a green pedestal, the surface of the lake is like a mirror, the stars and moon in the sky are reflected on it. The mountain breeze blew in the evening, wrinkling the surface of the lake and blowing waves, like silk dotted with stars.

On the lakeside pier, many painting boats, speedboats, canopy boats and swan boats are neatly arranged, rising and falling with the fluctuations of the lake, sleeping quietly. During the day, they carry all kinds of people to roam the lake, and at night, they return to the nest like birds, and the lake is quiet.

On an autumn night, the sky is crisp, but it is also cold. Especially beside the mountain lake, the night breeze comes from the mountains, blows across the lake, and blows on people, bringing a cool feeling that penetrates the texture.

However, a brightly lit place by the lake is a hot scene. Covered by a simple tent, the large round table and the small square table are compactly arranged, and the table is crowded with people pushing cups and changing lamps, and laughing and laughing. This is a gathering place for night stalls, with different tent colors demarcating the boundaries, all set up along the lake, so that visitors can enjoy the food while blowing the lake breeze and enjoying the different style of the lake under the stars and moon. At the entrance and exit of each tent on the brick pavement, a long table is placed on the table, on which a variety of home-cooked dishes are displayed, and under the table, a large red oval basin is full of freshly caught fresh lake food. The proprietor or proprietress of each shop is diligently soliciting passing tourists, and once they enter their tents, they go out of their way to recommend their specialties to them. On the other side of the long table, several cauldrons were propped up, and the ladies in vests and towels around their necks were sweating and working fiercely. A few guys who run the dishes neatly deliver the steaming dishes that have just come out of the pot to the customer's table in time.

"I've been waiting for a long time, the characteristics of the lake, the big fish head with double peppers!" A little brother who ran vegetables placed a large white porcelain plate with a diameter of half a meter in the middle of a large round table, and shouted clearly, "Your dishes have been served, please use them slowly!" ”

Seeing the huge and bright red and yellow fish heads on the plate, more than a dozen people sitting around the big round table applauded one after another, and then couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and scramble.

Next to this table, on the small round table where three men and three women were seated, only the scraps were left on the plates, and the bone plates in front of each person were piled up into a small mountain. The spicy fried snails were left with only chili, chopped green onions, ginger and a few slices of slices floating on the dark brown sauce; In addition to the charred oil, only the long whiskers and limbs of some scattered river shrimp can be seen on the plate of fried river shrimp; The hairy crabs in season have long been swept away and turned into gill covers and carapaces piled up into hills; The milky soup in the big pot of white fish tofu soup has bottomed out, and the only remaining minced tofu and fish bones can barely make others recognize what kind of dish it is; The same double pepper fish head as the big round table on the side, the flesh, gills and lips have long been divided, the red chopped pepper and the green and yellow pickled pepper have passively become the protagonists, and the snow-white long cut noodles that have been soaked for a long time in the spicy soup have become bright and attractive; The only thing that hasn't been cleaned up is a few plates of steaming vegetables, and at a glance you know that they are ordered later, and they have just been served. There were more than a dozen empty beer bottles on the edge of the table and the side of the table, and the three men and three women sitting around were already red-faced and drunk.

Judging from their appearance, they are all young people of twenty-four or five years old, with no traces of being polished and washed by society, like college students who have not yet stepped out of the ivory tower. Six people, a man and a woman, are in pairs, and they all subconsciously take care of each other, and it can be seen that they are three couples.

One of them, a slightly chubby, glasses-wearing, leader-like man, glanced at his companions with fairly clear eyes. He saw that everyone was already having fun, so he raised his glass and said loudly: "Come on, come on, it seems that everyone is full of wine and food, and after this last glass, let's break up this time." ”

The other four all raised their glasses neatly, except for a lean boy who lay motionless on the table.

"Eggs! Bird eggs! ......" The man in glasses kept calling his nickname, and the female companion next to him frowned and patted him hard.

Only then did he raise his head drunkenly, his face as red as steamed shrimp, and he replied vaguely: "What are you doing?" ”

"Get up, dry the last glass of wine, and then you can go back to the hotel and sleep as long as you want!"

He obviously still listened to the man in glasses, and stood up tremblingly, and raised half a glass of wine in front of him tremblingly.

A look of satisfaction flashed on the glasses man's face, and he continued: "We are also entering our senior year, and we will leave the university and enter the society in a short time, I hope we can travel and drink together so happily in the future." I wish you all a smooth graduation and a smooth job after graduation! Cheers! ”

"Cheers!" Six glasses collided, and the golden liquid in the cups was drunk in one gulp.

After drinking this glass of wine, the lean boy fell on the table and was completely drunk.

The man with glasses asked his companions to take care of him, and he went to check out first. When he returned, he and another handsome boy of medium size and one of the other men stood up and walked out on the table drunken on the table. All three of their girlfriends followed.

"You see, Bird's Egg often bragged in front of us about how good he was drinking, and it turned out that this time it was the real thing, and he was the one who fell the fastest." The man in glasses teased with a smile.

The handsome boy sighed: "I was going to go to the lake to take a walk and see the night view, but now he can only go back to the hotel......

"Zhiyu, since you want to go for a walk by the lake with Jiaying, then go ahead, it's enough for me here."

"Brother Hui, this ...... Not quite right? Or shall we send the eggs back to the hotel together and I will come out again? ”

"It's fine." Jia Kunhui carried the weight of the unconscious bird's egg body onto his shoulders, and pushed Zhiyu aside, "Bird's egg is so thin, my physique is more than enough for one person, it's really not good, and my girlfriend and bird's girlfriend can help, isn't it?" Don't worry about it, just go with confidence. ”

"......"

"You didn't hesitate to break up with your original girlfriend for Jiaying, and it took a lot of effort to chase her down, how can you not take advantage of the time to go out and play together to contact and contact your feelings? Let me tell you, most of the couples who have become in college will inevitably break up when they graduate, and if you want to avoid this situation in a year, you have to make Jiaying die for you. It's so nice tonight, and it's such a romantic place by the lake, what a great opportunity, don't waste it! Go for it! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Cheng Zhiyu nodded, walked up to his girlfriend, took her hand and said, "Yingying, while it's still early, the night is so beautiful, let's go for a walk by the lake." ”

"But Yuan Qinhua is drunk like this, it's not appropriate for us to leave like this, right?" Fan Jiaying said embarrassedly. Yuan Qinhua is the real name of the bird's egg.

"Kunhui said that he could do it alone, anyway, the hotel is nearby, don't worry." Cheng Zhiyu pointed to a high-rise building with pink neon lights on the top floor not far away. It was the Lihu Hotel where the six of them stayed, and it was less than 300 meters away from the lakeside night stall.

"Okay then." Fan Jiaying said hello to the other two girls and followed Cheng Zhiyu in the opposite direction of the hotel.

Perhaps in order to maintain the pristine and pure scenery of the lakeside, there are no tall street lamps along the lake, only low lawn lights are placed at intervals along the cobblestone path. And the woods, bushes, lawns, shallows, rocky ponds and other places far away from the path that cannot be taken care of by the faint light can only be lit by moonlight. Fortunately, the moonlight is bright tonight.

Cheng Zhiyu took Fan Jiaying's hand and walked along the path for ten minutes, then turned into a bush and walked cautiously by the moonlight.

"Zhiyu, there is not even a light in front, it is pitch black, will it be unsafe?" Fan Jiaying was a little panicked.

Cheng Zhiyu didn't mean to look back at all, and said: "Don't worry, believe me, follow me, I'll take you to a good place." ”

After a short time of walking through the bushes, the two came to a shoal. This is the only relatively flat waterfront without stone stacking, and the waves here are not big, which is suitable for couples to sit here and watch the lake and talk about love. Moreover, the shallows are rarely visited during the day, and even more difficult to find at night. This is what Cheng Zhiyu accidentally found when he was swimming in the lake on a painting boat this afternoon, so he deliberately brought his girlfriend here now.

Cheng Zhiyu is a native of H City and studied at a university in the provincial capital. Fan Jiaying is from another province, and Cheng Zhiyu is not in the same major but in the same college. Although they are in the same academy, the two have hardly met before they meet each other, and even if they do, they probably have a quick glance in the crowd, and they have not left any impression on each other. And in the junior year, the two met by a very chance opportunity, Cheng Zhiyu was suddenly impressed by Fan Jiaying's beauty, and within a few days he broke up with his girlfriend who was still dating, and began to pursue Fan Jiaying frantically, and successfully impressed the other party before the end of his junior year. In order to consolidate and accelerate this relationship, he took the initiative to propose to Fan Jiaying at the beginning of his senior year to come to Lianhu for a few days, and in order to avoid embarrassment, he also called two roommates and their girlfriends in the same dormitory, and the six of them came together.

It seems that he called a few more friends and seemed to have no other plans, but Zhiyu still had his caution, because there are only double rooms in the Lianhu Hotel, and it is clearly stipulated that a man and a woman must stay at the same time. He had planned and was quite confident that he would take that step with Fan Jiaying when he was in the same room with her tonight, and now he brought her to the lakeside shallows to warm up for what was to come.

"Here it is." Cheng Zhiyu is confident that his girlfriend will be quite satisfied here.

"Wow-" Fan Jiaying's reaction hit him right.

The moonlight sprinkled on the sparkling surface of the lake, scattering a dreamlike brilliance; The waves crash against the shallows, and there is a soothing "rustle" sound.

Fan Jiaying let go of the hand she was holding with Cheng Zhiyu, took off her shoes and socks, and couldn't wait to step barefoot on the flat shallows, and walked towards the lake step by step. The lake water on the autumn night was a little cold, but she was just full of wine and food, and her whole body was hot, and a pair of jade feet were immersed in it and she was feeling comfortable. She kicked the lake mischievously, enjoying the comfort of the evening breeze blowing through her body.

Cheng Zhiyu stared intently at her curvy figure and long hair flying in the wind, and an impulse surged into his heart, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He couldn't help but take off his shoes and socks and ran to his girlfriend to play in the water together, his heart was full of excitement and excitement.

Unbeknownst to the couple, a faint haze slowly enveloped them around them, a pair of malicious eyes secretly watching them.
