May there be no time to turn back

It will be a month before we see Bai Zijian again.

In order to celebrate the smooth implementation of the new project, Guan Xiao hosted a banquet for the partners, there was faint thunder outside the window while the cup was being exchanged, and the banquet was in full swing, and no one noticed it.

After drinking and eating, it was pouring rain, and there was stagnant water on the side of the street, gurgling into the drain.

The night was dark and it was impossible to get a taxi, so Guan Xiao ordered his deputy to send some staggering business partners back first.He stood alone under the eaves to shelter from the rain, listening to the clear and crisp sound of the sewer pipe beating against the wall.

Seeing that the rain was getting lighter and the patter was barely audible, Guan Xiao couldn't wait for his deputy to drive back, and stepped directly into the humid air that wasn't cold.

The hustle and bustle of the whole night made Guan Xiao feel exhausted, thinking of going back to rest soon, he turned into a small alley and prepared to take a shortcut.

Away from the spacious, flat, neon-surrounded road, the depths of the alley seem secluded and deserted. The few low street lamps are hazy and yellow, forming a few vague halos on the dark and thick muddy path.

Guan Xiaoshen walked with difficulty.Passing a fork on the left, he subconsciously turned his head and took a look. It was a dead end, not deep.Surprisingly, there were people inside.

A few ruffian social youths turned their backs to him and surrounded the base of the wall, talking to someone inside.

Guan Xiao didn't want to intervene in this kind of blackmail and coercion scene at this time. He leaned close to the streetlight and planned to go around it, and at the same time looked around curiously.

The man trapped in it was leaning against the wall with his arms folded, the dripping water splashed his shoulders and his half-smile face.

This face was so familiar that Guan Xiao mistakenly thought it was an illusion caused by his deep thoughts.

And the man saw Guan Xiao through the shadows in front of him, his eyes that were originally as if nothing had happened flashed with astonishment, and then brought a little joy, and he froze in place for a while.

"What are you doing?" Guan Xiao asked sharply, and Guan Xiao walked over quickly.Leaving him alone in this dangerous situation, Guan Xiao couldn't do it.

"Fuck your mother, it's none of your business!" A man with tattoos all over his arm turned his head and spit when interrupted for no reason.Several gazes shot over at the same time, looking up and down at Guan Xiao contemptuously, but didn't take him seriously.

Guan Xiao was still drunk, but the other party's rude words made him angry again.Losing all reason, he suddenly swung a punch, hitting the young man with arms impartially on the bridge of the nose.

Unprepared, Hua Bi immediately covered her nose in pain and knelt down, fresh blood dripping into the stagnant water on the ground.

Bai Zijian walked around the flower arm and approached the crowd.

The others looked at each other in blank dismay, and launched a counterattack at Guan Xiao at the same time.

Even if Guan Xiao's fists were fierce and merciless, he was outnumbered and was quickly defeated.The well-dressed high-end suit was rubbed into the dirty mud, and someone stepped on Guan Xiao's face, causing him to lie on the ground in a prostrate state, unable to move.

It was Bai Zijian who rescued Guan Xiao from the embarrassing situation.

"Forget it, brothers," he stopped the group of people who surrounded him before, and quietly guarded Guan Xiao, "I recognize this person, so just treat me as a face, come here."

"It's fucking unlucky!" Hua Bi raised his hand to rub his nosebleeds, he didn't forget to put his feet on Guan Xiao's back, and gave him a hard look, as if he didn't want to let it go.

With a good temper, Bai Zijian smiled harmlessly at Huaji, and leaned forward to wipe off the blood on his face: "Brother Li, let's change places, why waste time on this."

Hua Bi took a deep breath to control his anger, and reluctantly agreed to let Guan Xiao go, but at the same time, he also clearly told Bai Zijian that this is the end of the day, then left Bai Zijian where he was, and took the lead to leave the alley. Followed away.

Bai Zijian didn't hide his gloomy expression. He squatted beside Guan Xiao, looked at him with his chin up, and blamed him with some displeasure: "What are you doing? It's preventing me from having fun." After finishing speaking, he pursed his lips and rolled his eyes slyly , pressed down hard and couldn't restrain the raised lip corners.

Guan Xiao turned over weakly and looked up at the sky.His body was in pain, and his teeth grinned in pain when he moved. Fortunately, it was all flesh and blood, and no bones were hurt.

"Should you restrain yourself after returning to China? What are you going to do?"

"Obviously, dating." Bai Zijian replied lightly, rolling his eyes.

"Can you be more careful, your private life is so chaotic." I don't know if it was because of the defeat just now, or because of Bai Zijian's answer, Guan Xiao suddenly became angry, "Friends in sex, is that kind of person worthy? Is it an unclean disease?"

"Oh," Bai Zijian sneered, "Are you worried about me? Come on, you said that there is no relationship between us. How is it now? Is kindness overflowing? I just want to do it because I have desires. That's why I found them. Don't get me wrong, I don't want you to."

Guan Xiao was stung by Bai Zijian's words, and his face was red with choking. He moved his lips and was about to argue, but he thought of something in the middle, and abruptly changed the subject: "You should always think about your family, this is your duty."

Bai Zijian stood up abruptly, with disgust on his face.The topic of his family has always been his backlash, every time he touches it, he always gets angry.

He looked down at Guan Xiao, and smiled angrily: "You care about me? Who do you think you are? Do you care about me?!" As if expecting something, his eyes shimmered faintly.

Guan Xiao didn't say a word, stood up with the help of the wall, and slowly stabilized his figure.He glanced at Bai Zijian silently, then limped towards the side road.

Bai Zijian bit his lip, as if he was unwilling.Seeing Guan Xiao walking further and further away, Bai Zijian screamed, "Guan Xiao, who do you think you are?!"

Without any reply, Bai Zijian's eyes dimmed, his shoulders drooped dejectedly, and he kicked the stones in the puddle to vent his anger.Guan Xiao's back turned around the corner and disappeared without a trace. A stone was kicked by Bai Zijian and rolled far away. The accumulated water splashed onto the bottom of his trousers, leaving spots of stains.

The refrigerator door was suddenly opened, Guan Xiao took out a can of beer and pulled off the tab, and drank most of it in one breath.

The bubbles lurking in the liquor were shaken, rushing out one after another.Guan Xiao burped three or four times, long and deep, but still felt puzzled.

Where did he get his sense of superiority that he dared to be so domineering and domineering?

It's like, I'm sure I won't leave him behind.

Guan Xiao felt another pain in his heart, he closed his eyes a little bored, unwilling to think about anything.After drinking the remaining half can of beer in one gulp, he staggered to the bedroom.

After Gong Yaochen finished singing, he looked up at the seat near the door.

Just now I was very concerned.He squinted his eyes, trying to recognize the figure who was drinking alone through the slightly dim light, and frowned after seeing the face clearly.Could it be to get drunk?

Bai Zijian put down the empty wine glass and wiped off the remaining liquid from the corners of his lips.His eyes looking out of the window were a little dull, and covered with an indescribable melancholy.

Gong Yaochen got up, carefully set up the guitar, and when he turned his head, he found that the seat was empty.

He still walked forward, and saw that the small and delicate round table for two people was piled up with empty bottles, it seemed that he drank a lot, and he should be very drunk.

He was in a daze when he was caught off guard and was tapped on the shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I worked overtime today, so I came a little late." Chang He's smile was faintly exhausted, but he still tried his best to hand the takeaway bag to Gong Yaochen, "Should I go back to the dormitory? Take this for supper. "

"Oh." Gong Yaochen instinctively took it in his hand, and seemed a little dazed when he didn't realize it for a while.

"Hey, what's the matter? I feel dumb." Chang He sensed it, and asked amusedly, turned his head to look at the round table, and asked in confusion, "Is there not enough waiters today? Why did you come here to clean up?"

"No. That friend of yours from before was named Bai or something," Gong Yaochen said, pointing at the crowded table, "just left."

"Bai Zijian?" Chang He tilted his head and looked out the window, "Really? I didn't notice. With whom?"

"Own."

"Huh?" Chang He was taken aback, staring at the mess in front of him in disbelief, "He drank so much by himself? Is he crazy?"
