Ye Chen ordered two cups of coffee, and he put one in front of Du Heng, while he picked up the coffee cup and held it in his hand.

He watched the white smoke wafting from the cup, next to his ear was the voice of Du Heng who continued to talk.

"Gu Jin's mental state is already quite bad. It must have been several years since we were together with Chu Jingcheng."

Everyone was entangled like this, and a long time passed without knowing it.

"When I found out about this, I suddenly felt that something was clear. It was unexpected and reasonable."

When Du Heng heard about this incident, he couldn't say how surprised he was, but he couldn't say how calm he was either.

"Gu Jin didn't have a close relationship with us, but since he got sick this time, his relationship with Chu Jingcheng has also become distant."

The number of times Gu Jin took the initiative to find Chu Jingcheng decreased, and even later, the two of them seldom saw each other again.

"His mental condition should have been getting worse and he was spending more time in hospital, but something happened at the time that kept us from noticing it."

A small gust of cold wind blows through the gap of the slightly opened window, blowing away the curling white smoke rising from the coffee cup.

The stray cats also seemed to have been frightened by something, and quickly ran back to the empty alley.

Ye Chen raised the cup, took a sip of coffee, and after entering his mouth, there was a bitterness that could not go away for a long time.

He repeated Du Heng's words in a low voice, "something happened."

With the memories of the previous life, those bad things began to appear in front of Du Heng's eyes one by one. What exactly led to such an ending?

He couldn't figure it out.

"Yip's was hit in the shopping mall. Several old cooperative companies with Ye's suddenly announced the suspension of cooperation with Ye's. As a result, Ye's capital chain was in trouble. You were really devastated during that time."

Ye Chen took another sip of coffee, but he didn't expect to mention him.

"Gu's and Ye's are long-term partners, so they helped out, but I didn't expect Gu's to be implicated."

"At that time, Gu Yuan was already having a headache because of Gu Jin's affairs, and coupled with the company's troubles, when I met Gu Yuan by chance, I felt like he hadn't had a good rest for a long time."

Ye Chen put down the cup, and mentioned a forgotten person, "Where's Shen Yue?"

"Shen Yue." Du Heng felt that his voice was a little hoarse, so he moistened it with coffee, but he didn't pay attention to the temperature, because he was burned, his voice became even hoarse.

"The probability of good things happening is very small, and bad things do happen one after another."

"The matter of Shen Yue and Chu Jingcheng was photographed by Yuji and made headlines. Some people started to take advantage of the situation to spread rumors and smear them. At that time, the Internet was full of scandals about Shen Yue and Chu Jingcheng. The force did not succeed in suppressing it."

"In the end, Shen Yue's black fans came to the door and poured sulfuric acid all over Shen Yue's body. Shen Yue was disfigured and had to be hospitalized to recuperate. Her star career was cut off. Chu Jingcheng also resigned because of this."

Everything seems to be walking on the established road, stepping along the front full of traps and thorns.

Ye Chen: "What about you?"

Du Heng sneered, "I, fate has caught you, how could you pass me by? When I used the power of the Du family to help you, I was not in the mood to talk to those two brothers, but Du He and Du Sheng joined forces, Cannibalized my shareholding in the company and finally drove me down."

Ye Chen took one last sip and drank all the coffee in the cup, the scalding temperature of the coffee remained in his throat.

He opened his mouth, every word seemed to be melted by the temperature, intermittently, "Then, what about the final ending, you, me, Gu Jin, Shen Yue, and Chu Jingcheng's."

Du Heng: "After the Ye family collapsed, it was divided and eaten by several wolf-like aristocratic families. There was no news about you, and I heard that you went abroad. After Shen Yue recovered from her injuries, she also retired. I don't know where she went. "

After talking about the two, his hands shook, "As for me, Gu Jin, and Chu Jingcheng, let's talk about them together."

"After you left, I went to the hospital to see Gu Jin a few times. I can't tell what kind of mood I was in. It's too hypocritical to say that the rabbit died and the fox was sad."

"But one time, I happened to bump into Gu Yuan who was also in the hospital. There was a big quarrel between him and Gu Jin."

"A few times later, I also saw Gu Yuan come out of the hospital with a very cold face."

"Can you guess what happened later?" Du Heng laughed, now thinking about it, it feels like a dream.

It was just a dream as dark and gloomy as black mud.

"Gu Yuan quarreled with Gu Jin again, and when he was leaving the hospital, he encountered a car accident on the road."

"I couldn't be rescued and died in the operating room."

A biting cold poured straight into Ye Chen's body from the top of his head, but his throat was still hot.

The two temperatures intertwined in his body, he closed his eyes and felt that his whole body was split apart.

The voice talking in the ear has not stopped.

"After Gu Jin learned about this incident, you should be able to guess his mental state. It is basically almost crazy."

Du Heng had seen Gu Jin struggling and then being tied up on the hospital bed with a restraint belt. It was clearly midsummer at that time, but it only made him feel cold all over his body.

"By the way, I haven't talked about Gu Jin yet, the ending between me and Chu Jingcheng." Du Heng said indifferently, and even smiled, "You will never guess."

"I received a call from Gu Jin once and was asked to go to a place. When I arrived, I found that Chu Jingcheng was there."

"Perhaps you should all be there."

"But he probably didn't contact you and Shen Yue."

At that time, he was in a room similar to a warehouse. He had doubts, but he couldn't guess Gu Jin's purpose.

"That's when I saw Gu Jin again after a long time. What did he say at the time? It might be strange to describe it like this, but it's indeed, rare, like a normal person."

"His mental state seems to be good, and the breath around him is not as irritable as before. He even sat on the stool and greeted us when the two of us entered the door."

Du Heng stretched his arms, placed them on both sides of the sofa, exaggeratedly exhaled, and let out a "huh--".

"Guess what happened after that? He lit a fire, and with a whoosh, the whole room burned."

The fire is getting bigger and bigger, but the door lock is tightly hooped on the door.

"Gu Jin walked into the burning fire."

"Chu Jingcheng and I pried open a window at the last moment, but there wasn't enough time for both of us to go out."

"Chu Jingcheng let me out."

After Du Heng finished speaking, he completely stopped talking.

Maybe he was dizzy from the fire at that time, and his memory was not clear, but the conversation between him and Chu Jingcheng remained in his mind.

——Du Heng, when the window is pried open later, you can go out first.

……why?

——Anyway, I have also been hacked out of the circle, and it will be difficult to make a name for myself after I go out. I still want to be a big star.

...I can help you.

—but one of us can't get out.

——Forget it, forget it, you can’t have both, anyway, I think I’m living a much better life than many people, after all, I have a few of you meal tickets, no, I have a few of you here, right?

——Okay, the window is pried open, let's go, if it's later, neither of us will try to leave.

At the end, he heard Chu Jingcheng murmur, "Maybe this is retribution, who knows."

When dreaming back in the middle of the night, Du Heng couldn't help but wonder if his fate should have also died in that fire.

The memory ends.

Du Heng picked up the coffee cup, there was still some temperature on the outside of the cup, but the coffee was completely cold.

He took a sip, and it tasted bitter and astringent.

Tougher to drink than when hot.

He really didn't like this kind of thing.

There were not many people in the coffee shop, and the customers were scattered in twos and threes, making it look very empty.

The two sat in the corner of the coffee shop, and their voices were not loud, so they did not attract the attention of others.

The air was very quiet, except for the occasional sound of glasses clinking.

The light on the ceiling was not bright, but Ye Chen still raised his hand and covered his eyes.

Time passed quietly, and neither of the two spoke aloud.

Du Heng checked out first and left. When he left, he felt a sense of loss.

These words, these things, he finally said it.

In the end, he turned his head and glanced at Ye Chen, then walked to the garage, drove the car, and left here.

Ye Chen asked the waiter to serve another cup of coffee. At this time, everyone in the coffee shop had almost left, except for the waiter, he was the only one who remained in the shop.

He looked at the mouth of the cup where the heat was rising again. In the hazy white mist, he seemed to see nothing clearly, and he seemed to see something clearly.

As Du Heng said, he really did not guess such an ending.

absurd.

He felt that only these two words could explain the result.

He even came up with the idea of ​​"whether the author of the novel has been stimulated to take revenge on society".

But in this small world, each of them is a living person.

It is not the names of people written in cold words, but people with flesh and blood.

Gu Jin.

This name popped up in Ye Chen's mind again.

Gu Jin's indifferent appearance, irritable appearance, and wanton smile... form a picture, and the people in the picture are vivid and vivid.

The last fire burned all these pictures.

Only wisps of black embers fell, and the smell of burnt smoke remained in the nose like an illusion.

What was Gu Jin thinking?

Ye Chen got up and left his seat. Behind him, the coffee cup was left on the table, and the white smoke was still slowly rising.

He pushed open the door, and the bell at the door rang softly again, but this small sound made Ye Chen freeze.

He stood there for a few seconds before gently closing the door and leaving the place.

Anyway, the car was parked quite far away, so he just walked slowly.

The sky has turned dark, because there are few people and there is no business, most of the shops are ready to close at this time.

At night, the chilly wind swept across Ye Chen's cheeks, got into his collar, and dissipated the heat around him.

He gathered his collar, but he didn't stop in his steps.

When Gu Jin was taken to the hospital in front of everyone, what was he thinking?

Is his expression embarrassing, or cold?

When Gu Jin was in the hospital, what was he thinking?

Was his expression grumpy, or gloomy?

When Gu Jin learned of Gu Yuan's death, what was he thinking?

Is his expression numb, or sad?

When Gu Jin finally stepped into the fire, what was he thinking?

Was he smiling, or relieved?

When Ye Chen passed an intersection, a faint cat meow reached his ears.

He paused, then went to buy some whole wheat bread from a nearby bakery that was still open.

He carried the bread bag and walked into the dimly lit alley.

As he got closer to the middle, the meowing became more pronounced. He lowered his head and found a stray brown stray cat lying weakly on the ground, obviously hungry for a long time.

It is not big, and it looks like it can't compete with other cats, so it can only be hungry.

Ye Chen squatted down, tore the slice of bread into small pieces, and wanted to feed it, but found that the cat not only refused to eat, but also slowly got up, wanting to leave.

As a result, he lost his strength after taking a few steps, and stopped against the wall.

Ye Chen stood where he was, with the piece of bread in his hand, turned around and wanted to leave.The next moment, he still walked towards the stray cat.

The distance the cat walked was very short, two or three steps were enough for Ye Chen to walk.

This time he squatted behind him, picked up the cat, and put it on his lap.

The cat tilted its head and stretched out its paw towards him, trying to get him to let go, but there was no strength left, the paw just dangled in the air a few times.

Ye Chen pursed his lips, raised his hand, placed it on the cat's forehead, stroked its head gently, and then moved to its body.

The fur is covered with dust and is no longer clean, but it is soft to the touch.

After a while, the cat seemed to give in, licked his hand with its tongue, and glanced softly.

In the end, after eating the slice of bread, Ye Chen went to buy some water for it to drink.

After eating and drinking enough, the cat regained its strength, and began to stretch out its paws to scratch him vigorously.

Like an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.

Ye Chen smiled, held the cat's paw, and said, "Come back with me, okay?"

I don't know if the cat understood, but anyway, it glanced at him, then turned its head and meowed, just like a human "hum--".

The sense of sight is a bit strong.

"Then I'll take it as if you agreed." Ye Chen took the cat into his arms and walked out of the alley.

The brown striped cat was lying in his arms, not being honest, it always wanted to climb on him, but he kept stopping it.

After getting tired from making trouble, he lay lazily in his arms, and started snoring after a while.

Ye Chen looked at the cat with soft eyes, and then hugged the cat tightly.
