Inside the archives, the lights are bright.

With the cooperation of He Yi'an, Zheng Ke and all the personnel, including Jiang Nan, are doing the final assault work, and with the completion of the last process, it indicates the successful conclusion of the overall task.

Zheng Ke stood up happily and said with a smile: "Hehe, comrades, now I announce that our mission has been successfully completed this time!" ”

Most of the hard work of half a month has finally paid off, and everyone involved is also happy, He Yi'an also breathed a sigh of relief, and he is very relieved to be able to help Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke glanced at He Yi'an, who was smiling faintly, with a little eagerness in his eyes, and said heartily: "In this way, in order to thank everyone for their hard work over the past few days, I decided to invite everyone to the hotel tomorrow to hold a celebration banquet. ”

The crowd roared and said, "Good, good! ”

There was a burst of celebration in the warehouse, and Zheng Ke came to He Yi'an in a hurry, and said hopefully: "Yi'an, before the celebration banquet, should we have a small celebration first?" ”

He Yi'an hurriedly refused: "No need, it's so late." ”

Zheng Ke frowned, pursed his red lips reluctantly, and said angrily: "What's so late, besides, I'm going to return to Lanzhou the day after tomorrow, and you can't leave me any time." ”

He Yi'an twisted his face and prevaricated: "Eh, it's so late, where are you going?" Many shops are closed. ”

"Don't say invite me to a roadside stall, it's too dirty."

Zheng Ke rolled his eyes, pulled He Yi'an's arm, and said in a non-obsessive tone: "Let's go, I have food where I live, and you can send me by the way!" ”

Hearing that he was going to the hotel where the other party was staying, He Yi'an was suddenly a little embarrassed: "Ah, go to you, isn't it a little inconvenient?" ”

Zheng Ke glared, with three points of pretentious contempt in his shyness: "What, I'm still afraid that I will eat you, when did your guts become so small!" Oops, don't hesitate, let's go! ”

Saying that, Zheng Ke pulled He Yi'an's arm again, and his sparkling eyes were full of anticipation. He Yi'an was entangled for a long time, frowning and thinking, people are going to leave the day after tomorrow, and I don't know when it will be goodbye, friends, it seems reasonable to talk about it and send it away, not to mention that people are stubborn about this, and it is not appropriate to refuse categorically.

It's just that......

In the end, He Yi'an still followed the tough Zheng Ke to the hotel where she stayed.

The moment he stood at the door of the room, He Yi'an, who was originally safe, hesitated a little again. Friendship is friendship, but in the middle of the night, lonely men and widows, it is really a bit abrupt, this has to let people know, even if you are bright, I am afraid that you will not be able to say clearly.

He Yi'an blushed, and retreated: "Zheng Ke, why don't I go back first, it's really inconvenient to be so late." ”

"What's this, I'm not afraid of this little woman, what are you afraid of?" Zheng Keqiao's face darkened, pretending to be angry, and sneered: "Why, I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will let you kneel on the washboard." ”

He Yi'an waved his hand in disdain: "That's not going to happen." ”

Zheng Ke glanced at him and said bluntly: "That's fine, come in." ”

Seeing Zheng Ke enter the house first, He Yi'an gritted his teeth fiercely and followed in. The rooms in the hotel are quite luxurious, one-bedroom suites, and you can see that the price is expensive.

Seeing He Yi'an sitting nervously at the small table in the living room, Zheng Keyan smiled, took off his coat casually, untied his headband, and draped the three thousand green silk like a waterfall on his shoulders, looking casual and elegant. Then he took out a bottle of red wine from the kitchen cabinet and poured it, and handed it to He Yi'an lightly.

Zheng Ke sat down, looked at He Yi'an with beautiful eyes, raised his glass and said, "Yi'an, this cup, thank you for helping me so much." ”

He Yi'an, who was a little restrained, talked about work and relaxed a little: "Look at what you said, we don't need to say thank you between us." ”

"Oh, that's good, it's done!"

Saying that, Zheng Ke raised the goose neck lightly and drank it all, but found that He Yi'an was just a little reluctant, and his delicate chin nodded forward slightly, signaling He Yi'an to finish drinking. He Yi'an's face was bitter, and he frowned and explained, "I'm not very good at drinking...... Uh, well-...... then"

Under Zheng Ke's unrelenting eyes, He Yi'an could only helplessly pour wine from his glass. The wine glass was refilled, and Zheng Ke then raised his glass and said: "This cup is for us to meet in Ganquan surprisingly, just toast to this fate!" ”

"Uh...... Okay......" He Yi'an twisted his face and drank again.

One cup, two cups, and then naturally the cups are connected.

One sentence, two sentences, and then endlessly.

Chat freely, the common topic seems to be never-ending, not to mention that they are all people with their own hearts, and it is not too much to say that it is to use alcohol to kill their sorrows.

Bottle after bottle of red wine, stimulated by alcohol, the brain's thinking goes from sluggish to sharp to sluggish, while reason gradually slips from sobriety to chaos.

The night gradually deepened, and at this time, in the hotel room, He Yi'an and Zheng Ke were still sitting and drinking freely. He Yi'an, who was cautious and restrained before, under Zheng Ke's resentful and lingering memories and telling, remembered his downfall at the moment, sadness, frustration, depression, and unwillingness all came to his heart, and the wine did not need to be persuaded by the other party, and he drank it all up.

At this moment, Zheng Ke was already showing his eyes, with a trace of bitter sadness between his eyebrows, the wine glass he raised swayed, and he said inarticulately: "Come, He Yi'an, this cup, this cup is for you and me, damn fate, fuck!" ”

He Yi'an, whose head was swollen, also laughed miserably when he heard this, and said with drunken eyes: "You're right, hehe, just do it for this damn fate!" ”

Zheng Ke lifted the wine bottle tremblingly, and a lot of wine juice was spilled outside the glass, looking scarlet, just like the color in the eyes of the two. On the strength of the wine, Zheng Ke has reached the point where he can no longer hide it, and said bluntly: "He Yi'an, you ...... Tell me, did you ever like me back then? Even if it's a tiny, tiny little bit! ”

He Yi'an's body leaned back, a handsome face that had experienced vicissitudes of life was flushed with unnatural pale, his hands were spread, and he laughed self-deprecatingly: "Hehe, what's the use of talking about this now, look at it, I have fallen into this virtue, and I am not qualified to say who I like or who I don't like!" ”

Zheng Ke shook his head bitterly, like a rattle, the green silk in his ears hung on his lips and nose, looking a little crazy, and his clever tongue that used to be like a spring also became stammering: "No, well, no, you're running away!" You're running away from my questioning, you say, you tell me, have you ever liked me......"

He Yi'an muttered to himself in a daze: "Like it? Oh, I don't know, I really don't know...... Maybe, maybe, there ......"

This may be just a soothing word, or a drunken mantra, and there is no need to investigate its truth. It's already a thing of the past, youth is long gone, and no amount of "maybe" can be exchanged for a "start over".

The reality is such a cruel existence, the dead wood is still recurring in spring, and people are no longer young.

Zheng Ke showed a sad smile, and bursts of mist rose in his eyes: "Hehe, I know, I know, you liked me." Ann, you know what? Actually, I can't forget you, in fact, I've been waiting for you, I'm ...... I've been looking for you, but I can't find you, I can't find you......"

The bitterness of the years is exhausted, and the long-term expectations finally come to zero.

The grief-stricken Zheng Ke lay on his desk and cried loudly, and his mournful tone echoed around, like a cuckoo crying blood, mourning everything that had passed.

He Yi'an, who was depressed and sad, seemed to feel the same way, staggered forward drunkly, gently patted Zheng Ke's back with a trembling hand, and said with emotion: "You are drunk, I am also drunk, Zheng Ke, there are many things that we can't turn back......

Zheng Ke raised his head suddenly, the pear blossom with the rain was full of endless pain, and he threw himself into He Yi'an's arms, crying silently: "I don't want it, I don't want it, why do you want to leave me, why do I wait for so many years, I don't want such a life, I don't want such a fate, I just want you...... Yi'an! ”

He Yi'an stiffened his body, his mind was confused for a while, his pale cheeks showed a thick bitterness, his eyes were full of inexplicable tears, he stretched out his hand, gently rubbed Zheng Ke's back, and said sadly: "Life, it's all to blame for this damn life......

Zheng Ke raised his head, and the two looked at each other infatuatedly, staring with tears in their eyes. Suddenly, the lips met, and tears slid down the bridge of the nose.

Passion is not just sweet, but bitter with sadness, sadness in sadness.

When the two figures slowly reunited together, it also indicated that He Yi'an had once again stepped into the abyss and made the most unforgivable mistake in his life......

The starry cold moon, the north wind whimpered.

In the dormitory of the archives, Cheng Jiangshui was still waiting for He Yi'an's return, and suddenly a palpitation was like a twitching nerve, wave after wave, like a needle tip inserted into the sole of your foot, making you miserable but without any signs.

The whimper of the cold wind outside the house, the rattle of the windows, seemed to remind and foreshadow something. Cheng Jiangshui couldn't lie down anymore, holding a flashlight, against the cold wind, he came to the front of the office building of the archives, but suddenly saw Jiang Nan shrunk his head and yawned, and was about to lock the door and leave, Cheng Jiangshui hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Jiang Nan!"

"Oh, it's Master, why did you come here so late?" Jiang Nan's sleepy eyes were hazy, and he looked at Cheng Jiangshui in surprise.

"I'm here to find Yi'an."

Jiang Nan was stunned and asked casually, "Oh, didn't the teacher go back?" ”

Cheng Jiangshui said worriedly: "Yes, I haven't seen anyone for a long time, do you know where he went?" ”

Jiang Nan scratched his head, a little sober, and didn't scruple too much: "In the evening, we worked overtime as a whole, and the tasks were completed, did they go out to eat?" I watched him go out with Editor-in-Chief Zheng. ”

"Editor-in-Chief Zheng?" Cheng Jiangshui frowned tightly, and hurriedly asked, "You're talking about Zheng Ke, right?" ”

"yes, yes!" Jiang Nan nodded.

"That's it...... Just the two of them? ”

Cheng Jiangshui's face was a little ugly, and Jiang Nan couldn't see clearly in the dark night, so he replied nervously: "Uh, it seems to be, right?" ”

"Do you know where they went?" Cheng Jiangshui hurriedly asked again.

Jiang Nan shook his head and said confusedly: "Well, I don't know about this, you don't have to worry about it, Master, it is estimated that Teacher He will come back in a while!" ”

Cheng Jiangshui replied helplessly: "Okay, thank you!" ”

Returning to the dormitory melancholy, Cheng Jiangshui sat on the edge of the bed, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, and at that moment there seemed to be a pair of iron tong-like magic hands, strangling his panicked beating heart.

In the midst of suffocation, the panicked heartfelt waves surged like a tide, and Cheng Jiangshui's complexion became more and more pale as time passed.
