best day

midnight.New York.

The thick night and diamond-like bright lights seem to give the city a layer of flashy gold powder.

A long queue began to form outside the bar, the music filled the roof, and the dancing silhouettes of people almost made the air boil.

Zheng Luolai was already familiar with such a scene in his blood.

After coming to the United States from Beijing to study two years ago, I have been singing and singing every night in loneliness and boredom.

Unlike those hard-working students, he has a strong family, he can easily get a green card, he drives a sports car and lives in a villa, and he can consume any dazzling luxury in this paradise on earth.So he doesn't fight for anything that's at his fingertips.

This is the good life.It's also a bad life.

At this moment, Zheng Luolai leaned against the bar and squinted his lazy dark eyes, casually patrolling the crowd.

The fair face since childhood showed a slight maturity at the age of 19, set off by the ambiguous lights, like a vampire walking out of a picture book, looking beautiful and dangerous.

Soon, he found his target for tonight.

A slender mixed-race boy who just walked in.

Zheng Luolai picked up the wine glass and raised his head to take a sip, then gracefully swayed in front of him, showing a meaningful smile.

This boy looked very young, but he had an angelic face, and his dark blue eyes were as bright as jewels.

It's just that his eyes are rare, without desire, curiosity, or defense. He just glanced at everything around him lightly, and then spoke standard Chinese to Zheng Luolai: "I'm not interested in men."

It might be funny if a child who had just started middle school in Beijing spoke like this.

But this is New York.

Taking advantage of the noisy environment, Zheng Luolai lowered her head and asked in his ear: "Then why are you here?"

The boy glanced at him casually again, then suddenly changed his attitude: "Are you free, come with me."

Of course Zheng Luolai was not afraid of any accidents, he smiled and said, "Okay."

After speaking, the two of them walked out the door as if they were intimate.

-

The boy was obviously not old enough to drive, and he seemed very calm when he got into Zheng Luolai's sports car. After he had driven a long way, he said as a matter of course: "I lost a bet with someone, so I'm going to find someone there. with."

Zheng Luolai didn't respond to this, and continued to hold the steering wheel while smoking.

The boy said again: "I'm tired, take me home."

Hearing this, Zheng Luolai stopped the car slowly instead, put his handsome face in front of him and said softly: "Why do you think I want to listen to you?"

The voice was still floating in the air, and he kissed his lips.

There was a sudden panting in the air.

The boy didn't evade, he was obviously not a good man and a believer, and he even had a strength beyond his age.

In the chaos, the hormones came to his head, and he took the initiative to untie Zheng Luolai's belt, pushed him away suddenly, then bit his ear lightly, and said in a seductive voice, "You can play, I'll top it."

Zheng Luolai immediately held his hand and smiled slightly: "No."

The boy immediately leaned back on his seat: "Forget it."

No one would give up easily in the face of a beauty, Zheng Luolai squinted his eyes and asked, "Why do you have to make the distinction so clearly, isn't it good to let the facts speak for themselves?"

The young man stared at him with his blue eyes for a long while, and suddenly he laughed unexpectedly: "Zheng Luolai, you really deserve your reputation, you really are a rascal."

We knew each other before, no wonder we speak Chinese when we meet.

But if he had seen this child, Zheng Luolai wondered how he could not remember it.

After a while, the boy said again: "My name is Chen Lu. I met you at the reception last week, but you didn't see me."

There was a strange atmosphere in the car for a while.

Chen Lu is not someone, he is still young.

But in this city, no smart person would mess with him.

Because he has a mother who is like a queen, and has more means than all men in the mall.

Any Asian who wants to do business here must be familiar with her name and her precious son.

Zheng Luolai's face changed quickly, and he looked serious in an instant: "Oh, Master Chen Lu, I have long admired you."

Chen Lu still laughed.

Zheng Luolai extinguished the cigarette in his hand, held his face again, and said viciously, "So what, remember to tell your mother tomorrow morning that I raped you."

As she spoke, she gestured to kiss him again.

Unexpectedly, a few more cars suddenly came from a distance on the quiet road, and the headlights illuminated the night brightly.

The cars all stopped around them, and a Japanese man got off at the head, walked respectfully to the open car window next to Chen Lu, and said in blunt Chinese, "Master, the chairman is here to pick you up."

Chen Lu made a painful expression towards Zheng Luolai, and got out of the car immediately.

Zheng Luolai had no choice but to go out, thinking about whether he should go to the Queen to say hello honestly.

If she is overprotective, she will soon be in trouble.

Who knew that Chen Lu waved his hands meaningfully and said, "See you later, don't bother with my mother."

After speaking, he got into a car.

After a while, the rear window rolled down, revealing a beautiful woman's face, she smiled politely and distantly.

Zheng Luolai could only laugh.

The convoy in front of them quickly disappeared from sight.

He was the only one left on the side of the road, leaning on his own car, looking a little lonely.

After a while, Zheng Luolai sighed exaggeratedly, lit another cigarette and started smoking again.

In fact, I heard the old man at home say a truth a long time ago: the things in this world, if they are yours, they are yours, and if they are not, they will never be.

So don't resist, don't force.

He believed it.He wants everyone to believe it.

Only in this way is it easy for each other, and it is easy to live.

-

It was a night five years ago when Zheng Luolai met Chen Lu for the first time.

I liked him a lot, but later decided to be good friends with him.

Since then, I don't feel that there will be anything in my heart, and I still insist on a frivolous and safe life philosophy.

But later, he got involved in a new life out of control by Chen Lu, met new people, and encountered unprecedented troubles.

Enjoyed, cheated, gave up, suffered.

From wobbly to messy.

In the long time since then, Zheng Luolai has imagined countless times: If he hadn't walked towards Chen Lu with a wine glass that day, everything would not have happened since then?

Or will he follow the same path from other corners of his life.

-

The reason why I was not afraid of anything in the past was because I did not seek perfection, did not seek goodwill, and was not afraid of shortcomings.

Zheng Luolai felt that he was used to facing the so-called dark side.

It seems that he never thought that there is one thing that can make him fail miserably when he is caught off guard.

I remember a line from a movie I rewatch often.

My pure moment is far better than your dirty life.

——The fateful contrast is probably the fatal weakness of feelings.
