a row of egrets

After a few days of the Spring Festival holiday, Lu Zhan's company continued to work. He took on several projects, big and small, and was very busy every day.

Before leaving get off work today, Lu Zhan received a call.

"Hello? Mr. Lu, do you remember who I am?"

Lu Zhan laughed: "Hey, Mr. Meng, when did you come back?"

The caller was Meng Wei, Lu Zhan's classmate in junior high school. The two had a good relationship at the time, and they were in the next class in high school. However, Meng Wei went abroad when he was a sophomore in high school. He came back once in a while, but he didn't meet Lu Zhan for various reasons.Counting it, it has been many years since we saw each other.

Meng Wei has been a boy since he was a child. He often swaggered around bars and nightclubs in junior high school. He was good at picking up girls and smoking.But he has a bold and generous personality, so Lu Zhan and his gang can play with him when they are studying.But all in all, they are just ordinary good friends, not like Lu Zhan and Zhou Yue.

"I came back before New Year's Eve." Meng Wei didn't seem to intend to exchange more pleasantries, and said directly, "Let's come out to play tonight, long time no see, let's get together."

"Okay." Lu Zhan looked at his watch, "Have you asked Zhou Yue to burn them?"

"No." Meng Wei paused, and then said, "You can come alone, and they can make an appointment next time."

Lu Zhan was puzzled for a moment. After all, according to the past, the relationship between the few of them and Meng Wei was similar, and he didn't get along with him any better. I don't know why he only called himself this time.

Confused, Lu Zhan still didn't refuse. After all, he was an old classmate, and it was true that he hadn't seen him for a long time. It's good to go to meet him at night, or leave early if there is nothing else to do.

"That's fine. I didn't drive today. You can pick me up later. I'll send you my company address."

"Success! When you're done, send me a WeChat message, and I'll pick you up then."

Lu Zhan hung up the phone and sent Xiao Yibai a WeChat message: I have to meet an old friend tonight, so you don't need to pick me up, I'll be back early.

It didn't take long for Xiao Yibai to reply the message: Okay, be careful.

Lu Zhan actually wanted to ask Zhang Ran if they knew that Meng Wei was back, but after thinking about it, let's forget it, just meet and catch up.Thinking about it, that son should still be the same as before, except that he likes to play a little bit, probably nothing has changed.

When Lu Zhan went downstairs, he saw a supercar parked downstairs in the company. Meng Wei was leaning on the driver's seat, with flamboyantly dyed blond hair, and smiled at Lu Zhan: "Mr. Lu, I haven't seen you for several years. , have you grown taller again?"

Lu Zhan opened the car door with a smile and sat in: "Yes, all the snacks I ate in middle school were used to grow taller."

"Your face has also grown. When you were in junior high school, you were as tender as a little girl, but now you are very handsome!" Meng Wei said while driving the car.

The two chatted some irrelevant things along the way, and while chatting, Lu Zhan found that Meng Wei's road seemed to be getting more and more deviated, and in the end there were no people on the road.

He casually asked, "Where are you going? I thought you were going to take me to a bar."

"What's the fun in the bar, it's so noisy." Meng Wei drove the car with one hand, "My friend has a villa near here, and we usually get together there."

"Who's coming?" Lu Zhan was suddenly absent-minded, and now he really wanted to go back and watch Xiao Yibai cook.

"Who else, a group of friends." Meng Wei glanced at him, "Master Lu is really busy with his career, he doesn't seem to be interested in socializing anymore?"

Lu Zhan lowered his head and smiled. Ever since he met Xiao Yibai, he basically quit bars and nightclubs. Anyway, it was really not interesting. Every day, a group of people drank and chatted.

It's better to fall in love with Xiao Yibai, the whole person is refreshed, full of energy every day, and works hard to make money. Lu Zhan thinks this kind of life is very good.

Ah, I really miss my younger brother Yibai. I don’t know if he’s home from get off work now.

After a while, the car turned into an intersection, and Lu Zhan saw a villa at the end, remote and quiet.

Meng Wei got out of the car, grabbed Lu Zhan's shoulders, and pushed the door open.

As soon as the door opened, there was a loud noise. There were a lot of people sitting in the living room, roughly a dozen or so.There are men and women, some hugging each other, some smoking, some drinking, some playing dice, the scene is lively and chaotic.

Lu Zhan frowned subconsciously, and he didn't want to continue, but it's all here, and he can't just say he wants to leave before entering the door, it really doesn't give face.

Meng Wei led Lu Zhan to the center of the living room, and the group of people immediately attracted their attention. Someone asked Meng Wei with a smile, "Hey, who is this handsome guy? He's a stranger."

"My buddy." Meng Wei patted Lu Zhan on the shoulder, "Lu Zhan."

"Lu Zhan? Young master of the Lu family?"

Lu Zhan nodded and smiled.

"Dear guest! Come, come, sit down."

Meng Wei took Lu Zhan to sit on the sofa, and several men and women came over to chat with Lu Zhan.

While chatting with them, Lu Zhan watched Meng Weina opened a new bottle of wine with a corkscrew, poured it into a glass and gave it to him.

He reached out to take it, took a sip, and someone handed him a cigarette.

Lu Zhan was used to hanging out in the liquor store in the past. Li Jing warned them countless times not to accept cigarettes from strangers, so he waved his hand almost subconsciously: "No, I don't smoke."

"Is there anyone who doesn't smoke these days? Mr. Lu, don't fool us!"

Lu Zhan smiled: "It's true that I don't smoke. I feel like throwing up when I smoke, and I can't help it."

A girl came over: "Hey, do you have a girlfriend?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she patted her butt with one hand, and a boy said dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing, you couldn't help it when he came here?"

Lu Zhan looked at the girl and wanted to remind her that the weather is so cold, you should wear more clothes, as the chest is exposed too much and it is easy to catch a cold.

The girl "cut": "It's rare to see such a handsome man, what's the matter?"

"I have a date, sorry." Lu Zhan took a sip of his wine with a smile, "So I have to go back early later, or my family will be angry."

"Wife control is strict? It's just a relationship, why are you so nervous." Another girl pouted, "Damn it, all the handsome guys have married women, it's really boring."

Lu Zhan glanced at her, and wanted to remind her to put on more clothes. Why are young girls so cold now?

"What's wrong with having a girlfriend?" A boy was smoking a cigarette. "It's okay to play outside once in a while. Just don't contact me after getting out of bed. It won't delay a serious relationship!"

After speaking, a group of people laughed hahaha, amidst the laughter, Lu Zhan just wanted to leave immediately.

Meng Wei lit a cigarette and looked at Lu Zhan through the smoke, with an inexplicable smile on his lips.

Lu Zhan held the glass of wine from the beginning to the end. Although he took sips and sips, he never finished it. He also refused other people's requests for more wine, just chatted with them with a smile, and often looking at his watch.

He used to be a person who was used to hanging around, and he knew the tricks in these drinks best. When he was with people he didn't know well, he only drank newly opened drinks, and he never took other people's cigarettes. After all, he really didn't smoke.After leaving the table, you will not touch the wine you drank before, because you don't know what will be put into that glass of wine when you are not there.

"What's the matter? Are you not used to it?" Meng Wei sat next to him, "I see you are absent-minded."

"I've been working all day, so I don't have the energy to play." Lu Zhan smiled, "I think it's almost time, it's getting dark, or I'll leave first."

"Don't worry." Meng Wei lit another cigarette, "We're going to get to the point soon."

When Lu Zhan heard this sentence, he realized what was going to happen next.

So he was hardly surprised when those drugs were brought out.

He put away his smile and looked at Meng Wei: "When did you start touching these?"

"After going abroad." Meng Wei shrugged, "I'm bored, so let's play."

Lu Zhan turned to look at those people who began to take drugs, using various methods, such as lighting aluminum foil cigarettes, rolling cigarettes, snorting them, and even injecting them directly with needles.The different methods represent the different degrees of dependence of these people on drugs. No matter what the degree is, in Lu Zhan's view, they are all equally unacceptable.

When I used to hang out with Zhou Yue and the others, I often met drug addicts. Knowing that they had money in their families, they all wanted to drag them into trouble.But Lu Zhan and the others are all clear-headed, and they are taught strictly at home, so they never touch it, and there is no one in the circle who touches drugs. Even if they have, they have long since stopped interacting.

Looking at the various expressions on their faces, Lu Zhan felt uncontrollable disgust in his heart. He put down his glass and exhaled: "I'll go first."

He stood up as he said that, but Meng Wei grabbed him: "Come here, try it, it won't hurt if you try it once, how will you know how good it is if you don't try it?"

Before Lu Zhan had time to say anything, several people gathered around, trying to pull Lu Zhan together, Lu Zhan frowned: "Don't touch me."

"Dude, can't you afford to play like this?" A boy looked at him, "Try it, there will be something more exciting after it's over."

Taking drugs can greatly increase and stimulate sexual desire, and the men and women in this room, Lu Zhan can guess what will happen next without thinking about it.

Lu Zhan's expression turned cold, and he turned to look at Meng Wei: "Meng Wei, you invited me here today, if it's for this, then there's really no need."

He walked out as he spoke, but Meng Wei held him back again, and greeted the others: "Oh, Mr. Lu is not willing, why don't you help him make an exception?"

Lu Zhan frowned, and saw that someone had already come with tools, he twisted Meng Wei's hand with his backhand, pressed him to the ground when he was in pain, raised his head and shouted at those people: "Don't come here !"

"You really can't afford it?" Meng Wei was pressed face down on the ground, and smiled indifferently, "It's fine if you don't want to, it's a friend, there's no need to do it, right?"

Lu Zhan let go of his hand and patted his clothes: "I'm leaving, I won't say what happened today, and don't ask me out again in the future."

Meng Wei lay on the ground and smiled inexplicably.

Just as Lu Zhan got up and was about to leave, the door was kicked open suddenly, and a group of policemen poured in, shouting loudly: "Don't move, hug your head and squat down!"

There was a moment of chaos in the living room, girls screaming and boys scolding kept ringing out.Lu Zhan's heart was beating fast, he knelt down with his head in his arms, and when he turned to look at Meng Wei, there was still an inexplicable smile on his lips.

Only then did Lu Zhan realize that he did it on purpose. It doesn't matter whether he took drugs or not today. As long as he stays with these people, he will basically be unable to clean himself up.

When Lu Zhan was detained in the police car, there were many reporters around taking pictures.

He didn't know what mood he was in. In the chaotic heartbeat and breathing, the only thing he thought of was that he would not see Xiao Yibai today, and his little friend might still be waiting for him to go home.
