That night, the four of us drank four bottles of rice wine, almost one bottle per person. When I drank to the fullest and wanted to recite a poem, I found that Cai Xiaohong was already too strong to drink, and she was about to faint on the table. Jin Puguang and Chen Yifan were boxing there, but they didn't expect that an elegant person like Chen Yifan would also be vulgar and playful.

At this time, I was not carried away by alcohol, and asked Chen Yifan what time it was, Chen Yifan stopped "six-six-six", looked at the old Shanghai watch on his wrist and said that it was already more than ten o'clock. I just said it's too late, we should go back, you don't have to look, Comrade Cai Xiaohong is already very tired.

As soon as she heard her name, Cai Xiaohong immediately raised her pink face, looked at me with misty eyes and said, "I, I'm fine, I'm not tired." ”

I said distressedly, "You've drunk too much, I'll send you back, I'm about to close the door of the dormitory." ”

When Chen Yifan and Jin Puguang heard this, they both nodded understandingly. I checked out immediately, and the four of them staggered to their feet and walked out.

The cold wind blew, I had goosebumps all over my body, and I couldn't help but shiver for a while, and then I looked at Cai Xiaohong, who had shrunk into a ball, and her long hair was scattered, covering her slightly drunk face, and I could see that her shoulders were trembling. Chen Yifan is extraordinarily rich and doesn't seem to feel anything, this bit of wine and this bit of cold are just pediatrics for him. And Puguang's mental state at this time is even better than when he came, I believe that if he is allowed to drink through the sky, he will not blink an eye.

I looked at Cai Xiaohong's appearance very pitiful, and when I saw that I was only wearing a sweater and a jacket, I had the intention to take off the jacket for her to wear, but I was afraid that this move would be too frivolous, so I hesitated for a moment and gave up. Of course, Chen Yifan and Puguang went back to the dormitory by themselves, and I sent Cai Xiaohong back to the dormitory.

Cai Xiaohong repeatedly said that she didn't need me to send her, saying that the weather was too cold, you were going to catch a cold, and it was easy to catch a cold after drinking and then blowing a cold wind.

I said, didn't you also drink and be blown by the cold wind?

Xiaohong whispered, "Take care of yourself, you don't have to send me." Then she walked briskly forward, and the cold wind blew against her like a kite. I ran up and grabbed her hand and held her in my arms. I didn't know what to say, the wind gave me a headache, and Cai Xiaohong couldn't speak, she curled up obediently in my arms without making a sound. We were frozen on the cold school path as if we had been immobilized by the witchcraft of the north wind.

The holiday is finally here, and at the end of the semester, I was dizzy with my transcript, and I failed two functions, which means that I have to take the make-up exam as soon as the vacation is over. I found Li Yun and borrowed a lot of class notes from her, it's funny to think about, I borrowed notes from Zhao Xiaoxuan in high school, and I borrowed notes from Li Yun when I went to college, it seems that I am really addicted to borrowing notes.

Li Yun comforted me and said: "Don't worry, you are so smart, but you don't usually pay attention to the lectures, you take a good look at your notes during the winter vacation, and you will pass the make-up exam." ”

I said I wish it were, but now my brain is like mush, and I can't remember anything I read.

Li Yun smiled and said, "Well, you can't remember what you read, but you remember to send people back to the dormitory when you are drunk, so it can be seen that you are not stupid." ”

My heart skipped a beat, and I frowned and said, "What are you talking nonsense, where did you hear that?" ”

I paid attention to Li Yun's smiling face, her smile was the same as before, there was nothing special at all.

Li Yun still looked smiling and said, "Well, I'm talking nonsense." Don't blame me, maybe I'm cranky, thinking too much, it's a complete illusion, everything is an illusion. ”

I mean, you're smiling.

Li Yun lowered her eyes as if she was tired and said, "Then I won't laugh." All smiles were lost on her face in an instant, and a faint sadness came over her eyes.

I was not idle throughout the Spring Festival, except for the indispensable visits to relatives and friends, I devoted all my other time to two things, one was to memorize notes, and the other was to visit various bookstores and boutiques.

For someone as nervous as me as hard as I am, it is difficult for me to try to recall what was popular in the early nineties, and it seems that in my memory, the social situation in the nineties is a blank slate. After all, I am already old, and as I said earlier, I can't remember the events of more than ten years ago with a mentality and brain system like me, which may be very closely related to "only reading the books of the sages", and my early nineties were more related to books than to society. In addition, there are many unpredictable factors of the times, and I can only grasp the trend, but I cannot distinguish the specific time position. Just as the upheaval in Eastern Europe is the trend, the exact date is not necessarily accurate.

After my deep introspection, I found that the reason why I wanted to open a bookstore and earn my first pot of gold was probably related to my subconscious small-scale peasant economic thinking and the vulgar ideals of small citizens. Perhaps, I have long since deteriorated, and for me, there is only one step between the idealistic scholarly feelings and the lowly pleasures of seeking business success.

"Fuck, I'm fucking vulgar!" After I evaluated myself, I was more comfortable imagining the dream of a future business empire.

During this time, I visited the editor of the publishing house, obtained preferential rights to buy their expired books, and with his recommendation, I also made business contacts with booksellers who bought used books. I only have one concept, that is, the cheaper the book sold to college students, the better, cheap is king, as the "Taobao experience" more than ten years later told us the truth - price is everything.

By the way, I didn't see Zhao Xiaoxuan during the whole Spring Festival, I didn't go to her and send New Year's greetings, and of course she didn't look for me, although in my heart, I was faintly worried about her condition.

But, anyway, I guess she's gone from my life.
