At nightfall.

A high-end hotel in Beijing.

In the spacious and gorgeous private room, several well-dressed men sat casually, talking and laughing.

"Brother Shen is getting busier and busier now, and it's hard to make an appointment for less than half a day." A slightly chubby man complained.

"Who said no, now that the Shen family is in his hands, who is busy if he is not busy?"

"He is also twenty-eight this year, and I don't know when his marriage with the Xie family will be finalized, and our brothers are still waiting for the wedding wine."

"It's hard to say, I don't think he looks down on the Xie family."

……

While laughing, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

The waiter appeared at the door: "Sir, it's here." ”

Behind her, a tall, straight black figure followed.

The visitor was dressed in a well-ironed white shirt with the cuffs rolled up, revealing his wrist with an expensive watch.

The lower half of the body is a pair of black suit pants, and a black jacket is worn in the crook of the strong arm.

Above is an almost perfect handsome face, but the expression is slightly indifferent, and the lips are lightly pursed, giving people a calm and cold sense of oppression.

The moment they saw him, everyone stood up.

"Yo, Brother Shen is here."

"I'm waiting for you, sit down."

Shen Che bowed his head slightly, and walked straight to the main seat.

After he sat down, everyone inevitably chattered again.

It's just that Shen Che rarely spoke, and his expression was cold and indifferent, as if he was not interested in anything.

"Brother Shen's temperament, it's really getting colder and colder, it wasn't ......like this before," Liang Yuan leaned into Zhou Shikun's ear and whispered.

"Who's to say it isn't." Zhou Shikun also sighed helplessly.

Soon, the waiter began to serve the food, and everyone continued to chat while eating.

And Zhou Shikun was a little bored with his mobile phone.

Brushing and brushing, his fingers suddenly stopped, and a faint surprise flashed in his eyes: "How could it be ......?"

"What's wrong, Kunzi?" Liang Yuan, who was next to him, was the first to notice the abnormality and came over with some curiosity.

"Do you remember...... Xu Zhiyi? Zhou Shikun spoke slowly.

"Xu Zhiyi? It's a familiar name, I want to think about it......"

However, Shen Che on the other side was stunned for a moment when he heard this name.

I haven't heard this name for years......

"Whew! I remember! Isn't it the one in Tongcheng back then, the grades were good, and Brother Shen was still ...... at that time"

Before Liang Yuan's words were finished, he paused suddenly, and subconsciously looked at Shen Che who was not far away.

His eyebrows were lowered, his eyes were dark, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

The name seems to have become a tacit understanding for them.

No one would mention it in front of Shen Che so uninterestingly. The atmosphere was a little awkward and delicate for a while.

After a long time, Shen Che picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip lightly, and said lightly: "What's wrong with her?" ”

"I saw someone post on Moments, saying that she, she ......" Zhou Shikun hesitated for a few seconds before he said with some difficulty: "It's dead." ”

"Bang!"

The teacup in Shen Che's hand fell on the table, making a violent sound, splashing him with water stains, and his expression was still faint.

"Waiter!"

Seeing this, someone hurriedly called the waiter and processed the tea.

After a short period of chaos, the whole private room returned to calm.

Shen Che spoke again: "How did you die?" ”

"I heard that it was a sudden death from overtime...... I saw that this was being discussed in the previous class groups. ”

"When?"

"Yesterday or the day before yesterday, I'm not sure." Zhou Shikun was still looking down at the chat records in the group.

"Sudden death from overtime? This ......" The others were speechless in shock.

They thought that maybe it was an accident, or maybe it was some kind of disease, but they didn't think about it, it was because of sudden death.

Listen, it's kind of outrageous.

"Brother Kun, I remember that you didn't go back to Tongcheng last year to attend their class reunion? Did you see her? Zhou Qichuan on the side asked.

Zhou Shikun nodded: "There will be just time, and the previous squad leader strongly invited, so I went...... Seeing it, I just don't feel very good, and I feel that the whole person has experienced a lot of vicissitudes, as if I have been tortured enough by life. ”

The Xu Zhiyi he saw at that time shocked him, and it was far from the young and beautiful Xu Zhiyi who always wore a school uniform and a ponytail in his memory.

On her face, it seems that she can no longer see the fighting spirit and stubbornness she once had.

It seems that the edges and corners have been smoothed out by life, and there is no light in the eyes.

However, at that time, he was bad in his heart, and stepped forward to ridicule her twice......

If she hadn't rejected Brother Shen's pursuit at the beginning, I'm afraid that today she would be the beautiful Mrs. Shen.

But who would have thought that in just one year, what she got was her death.

Rao is Zhou Shikun, who has always seen all kinds of things in the world, can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Shen Che didn't speak, and everyone didn't dare to do much, always feeling that the atmosphere was inexplicably weird.

It wasn't until Liang Yuan couldn't stand it anymore that he finally opened his mouth to break this embarrassing atmosphere: "Forget it, don't talk about it, everyone has their own fate, I hope she will have a good baby in her next life." ”

"It's just, irrelevant people, not worth mentioning."

Soon, the table returned to its previous joyful atmosphere.

Shen Che didn't speak again from beginning to end, but his expression became more and more silent, and his eyes became more and more dark and calm......

At nine o'clock in the evening, everyone dispersed in the hotel, and they were ready to continue to go to the club to sit and drink some wine.

Shen Che said that he still had very important things to deal with, and asked Xiao Qi, his assistant and driver, to send him back to his residence. Maybe it was because he drank some wine, Shen Che felt that his head was a little heavy, and when he got home, he took a cold shower and went to the study to deal with the affairs at hand.

However, for some reason, I read it for a long time, but I didn't read a word.

All he recalled in his head was Zhou Shikun's sentence "She died".

How could a good person, who is only in his twenties, die?

The girl who was once so thin and stubborn as a cold winter plum plant died like this......

In a trance, Shen Che's mind recalled the scene of seeing her for the first time that year.

It was his first day at Tongcheng Middle School, and the principal followed him, eagerly introducing him to the school and asking him which class he wanted to attend.

At the same time, Shen Che saw a girl wearing a school uniform, a ponytail, and a stack of homework in her hands passing by the window.

She was very thin, her face was pure and delicate, she did not squint when she walked, and there was an indescribable determination and arrogance in her eyes.

At that moment, Shen Che felt as if he had been hit in the heart.

So, he said to the principal: "That girl, which class is it?" ”

And then there was everything that followed.
