Ren Pingsheng looked through the business card in his hand under the street light. The high-end ice-white pearlescent paper was printed with fine woodblocks on the texture of high-end ice-white pearlescent paper, and the business card also had a faint fragrance. The title under Gao Yuanyuan's name is "Vice President of Hanhai International Group".

Many people tried their best to climb the big tree of Gao Yuanyuan, but they snatched the first place for Ren Pingsheng, who had done nothing, but he was not very excited, just feeling confused.

He was not sure about the purpose of Gao Yuanyuan's contact information, whether he thought Ren Pingsheng was useful to her or simply wanted to help his classmates, but no matter what Ren Pingsheng wanted.

Ren Pingsheng stuffed his business card into his shirt pocket, looked at his watch, and quickly walked out.

It was already 8:10 pm at this time. The bus that Ren Pingsheng booked to return to Hanzhou City was departing at 8:40. He had no time to say goodbye to his classmates.

In fact, there is no need to say goodbye.

As soon as he got on an online car-hailing trip called by Didi, Ren Pingsheng immediately urged the driver to drive to the station. Fortunately, the route to Hongqiao Station was not congested during this period, and the Didi driver also worked hard to cooperate and arrived at the railway station at lightning speed. It was already around 8:30 pm.

Seeing that the departure time was almost here, Ren Pingsheng got off the online car-hailing service and ran to the entrance. When the security check and entry were completed, the G7383 high-speed train was about to leave, and he had to run into the car with the energy of sprinting for a hundred meters, so he was not thrown off by the passive train.

This time, Ren Pingsheng bought a first-class seat. The carriage was located behind the driver's room. Except for a fat girl opposite, she was constantly chewing snacks in her mouth, the room was quite quiet.

Ren Pingsheng looked out the window. The night was perfect tonight. The moonlight seemed to be paved along the railway, presenting the scenery along the line one by one. The city outlines and silhouettes of mountains and rivers that were constantly passing outside the carriage prompted that the EMU was constantly accelerating.

Since the major accident in 2011, the speed of the EMU has been reduced a lot. The bus runs on the busiest route on the eastern coast of China, with a maximum speed of 250 kilometers per hour, and it takes about an hour to arrive in Hanzhou City.

In another hour, Ren Pingsheng will return to the city where he has lived for more than ten years, and return to the comfortable, comfortable but monotonous and boring life. This class reunion is like a flash of light, coming and going in a hurry, leaving no traces or taking away any objects.

Ren Pingsheng did not notice that the moonlight outside the car gradually dimmed, and the dark clouds accumulated in the night sky became heavier and heavier. The G7383 EMU was speeding in the dark country like a white arrow.

The fat girl opposite was leaning against the chair with her back on the sky, and the snacks in her hand fell on the table, her lips snoring, which seemed to be contagious, which made Ren Pingsheng feel a little drowsy.

The day of running around, the intoxication of alcohol, and the loss of shattered fantasy were mixed together, like a nightmare that surrounded Ren Ping's life, making him exhausted both physically and mentally and unable to resist.

The night outside the carriage was deeper, the moon was gone, and the sound of rolling stones came from the dark clouds, and raindrops as big as beans sprinkled on the white body like machine guns. The G7383 EMU was still moving forward rapidly without slowing down at all.

Ren Pingsheng felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. He seemed to have returned to the campus ten years ago. Standing next to the Golden Lake of the Champions League in the campus, the warm lake breeze was blowing. You could smell the fragrance of the oriole tail flowers from your nose, and the long and short cicadas were heard in your ears. Everything was so lively, like you were in person.

In front of me, I seemed to see myself wandering by the Jinhu Lake again, and the girl who was walking in the grass holding hands with me.

The girl always wore a white dress, her long black and slender waist-length hair swaying in the wind. She had a fresh and pleasant fragrance on her body, which made Ren Pingsheng's heart and liver ripple. Her eyes were as bright and clear as night stars, which could dispel every haze in Ren Pingsheng's heart.

Her every frown and smile was filled with beautiful light, as soft as a full moon, clear and ubiquitous, covering Ren Pingsheng from head to toe, and penetrated into the blood, bone marrow and heart from every inch of his body's skin and pores.

With a loud "boom", an extremely rapid lightning split the dark clouds, and with dazzling white light and powerful current hit the body of the G7383 EMU. The light and heat generated by the friction between the current and the steel instantly expanded, forming an unfathomable black hole in the wilderness, swallowing the white EMU one by one.

Ren Pingsheng's eyes were pitch black, all the light disappeared, and even the sound was swallowed by darkness, making people wonder where he lived. He seemed to be exploring and moving forward in a long and wide tunnel, unable to distinguish between east, west, south and north, and everything was empty around him, but there was a force pulling him, as if he was trapped in a mud swamp, staggering and moving.

He didn't know the time or the direction, and after exploring this for a long time, Ren Pingsheng vaguely felt a voice calling his name in his ear. The voice was both familiar and unfamiliar, a bit like Zuo Xiaoxiao, a bit like Gao Yuanyuan, and a bit like a woman he didn't know at all. He grabbed this sound and walked towards the sound.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and clearer. He finally found the source of the sound, as if it was coming from above his head. He struggled hard to jump up, but this time it floated up like in the water. He stroked his arms upwards with force, and his feet continued to thrust in the water movement. His body gradually rose up, and gradually he found that some light from the top was revealed.

As the body swam, the light became brighter and closer, and the darkness around me gradually dissipated, and the forces that bound the body were broken free one by one. Ren Pingsheng tried harder to swim upwards, and his facial features gradually recovered.

The first thing that was restored was hearing, the sound of noisy car exhaust pipes, the sound of pedestrians chatting while walking, the sound of roadside vendors hawking, the sound of cicadas flying and short in the trees, and the female voice who repeatedly called her name.

Then vision, smell, and touch also recover one by one, as if the old-fashioned imaging tube TV series signal was connected, the color in front of me changed from snowflakes to black and white and then to color, the dusty streets, the bustling crowds, the smell of stinky tofu fried in the oil pan, the car drove through the rolled hot wind, the unique humidity in the hot summer nights made people feel as if they were soaked in hot water, sweating and wet, and it was not uncomfortable.

"Ren Pingsheng, Ren Pingsheng, wake up!" The female voice was as clear as a call in her ears, lit Ren Pingsheng like a current, making him shivering all over and shivering.

Ren Pingsheng was like a drowning man floating on the surface. He suddenly looked up and saw a bright moon in the night sky. The moon was unusually large and round, and the moonlight spread like velvet to all things, as if it enveloped Ren Pingsheng in it.

The moon is so familiar, as if it was seen somewhere and when. After a long darkness, the first thought that came to Ren Pingsheng's mind was the first to come to mind, and then he recalled it.

"Where am I?" Ren Pingsheng looked around and wanted to find an answer, but the surrounding environment was very unfamiliar.

A two-way four-lane asphalt road is bumpy, surrounded by old and dilapidated houses, rows of temporary stalls occupy half of the road surface, and young people in shorts are surrounded by food stalls. Judging from the scene of the street and people's dress, it should be a student street near a certain school.

What puzzled Ren Pingsheng was that the students on the roadside were all energetic and full of youth, but their dresses seemed a bit outdated, as if they were popular brands and styles more than ten years ago.

"Let Pingsheng!" The female voice sounded again.

Ren Pingsheng looked along the source of the sound. A girl with short hair and round face stood in front of her. Her facial features were plain. Her bangs with short hair were clamped obliquely with a plastic hairpin. Her skin was neither white nor black, and she was the sallow yellow that lacked blood. She was wearing a pair of glasses under her wide forehead. The eyes behind the thick lenses were very bright and clear. The eyes were filled with concern and anxiety.

"Who is she?" This is the second question that came to Ren Pingsheng's mind, and the answer is not difficult.

Ren Pingsheng tried hard to correspond to the female voice he heard in the dark with the girl in front of him. The long-clogged memory in his mind gradually unraveled. He was frustrated to find that it was not Zuo Xiaoxiao or Gao Yuanyuan who awakened him, but the girl in front of him.

Her name is Shi Xiaolian, and she is also a classmate in Class 3 of Economics and Management, 02. Shi Xiaolian is from FH County, Xiangchu Province. Although she comes from Xiangxi, which is beautiful, she is not as beautiful as a girl from Xiangchu. She has not looked amazing and has been unknown for four years in college. Although her academic performance is always among the best, she writes some poems and essays from time to time and publishes them in school magazines, which is very talented. But I don’t know whether it is because of her appearance or personality, but not many boys pursue her during the four years of college. She is usually very quiet and shy, growing alone in the corner like a grass.

But Ren Pingsheng hadn't seen her for a long time. I heard that she went to remote areas to teach after graduation and rarely contacted her classmates. Over time, her classmates forgot her existence. During this tenth anniversary party, Chang Yuan asked many people for inquiries, but she could not find out her whereabouts.

"But, she is so good at here?" A third question came to Ren Pingsheng's mind. He opened his eyes wide and observed Shi Xiaolian carefully, trying to find the answer from her.

"Are you getting better? Wipe your clothes quickly." Shi Xiaolian took out a handkerchief and put it in Ren Pingsheng's hand, pointing at his shirt and signaling.

Ren Pingsheng looked down and found that there was a pile of vomit on the ground on the cement pier in front of him, and the shirt on his body was also stuck a lot. Did he vomit all of them?

He took the handkerchief handed by Shi Xiaolian. The handkerchief was pure cotton, with blue flowers embroidered at the corners. It felt soft and light, and it also had the fragrance of soap washing.

Are there still people using handkerchiefs now? I'm afraid they will be treated like giant pandas. Shi Xiaolian could not have been passed by ancient people.

Ren Pingsheng held the clean handkerchief and was a little hesitant, afraid that it would get dirty, and afraid that girls would be too careless. After all, they were also kind-hearted.

In the end, he chose to wipe off the stains on his shirt with a handkerchief. The originally white handkerchief was immediately dirty. Ren Pingsheng embarrassedly folded the handkerchief and said, "Look, I'll dirty your handkerchief, and return it to you after I wash it."

"It doesn't matter with the handkerchief. I'm worried about your body. You have drunk so much wine tonight, and it's fast and fierce. Lisong can't hold you back. I... hey!" Shi Xiaolian took the handkerchief and didn't look disgusted at all.

She looked at Ren Pingsheng and said hesitantly: "I know you have something to do today. You break up when you are about to graduate. This is indeed very sad. But she can't see it even if you drink to relieve your sorrows like this. Why bother?"

Ren Pingsheng's heart trembled. He grabbed Shi Xiaolian's hand and shouted: "What's the breakup? What are you talking about? Who did I break up with?"

Shi Xiaolian was caught by Ren Pingsheng excitedly, and her face was pale. She hurriedly defended: "No, no, I just heard what Lisong said. He said Zuo Xiaoxiao broke up with you."

Ren Pingsheng's mind was in chaos. Shi Xiaolian's words hit him like thunder, which made his seven souls and six spirits move.

What's going on? Why did Shi Xiaolian mention that Zuo Xiaoxiao broke up with him? So many years have passed. Whenever Ren Pingsheng's heart still hurts a little when he thinks of everything that happened that evening.

Just a few days before graduation, Ren Pingsheng received an admission notice from the Hanzhou Municipal Personnel Bureau. Although this job was not what he expected, it was also a happy event to be able to lock in his work unit early in a time when the employment market was in a downturn.

But when he told Zuo Xiaoxiao the good news, he did not receive the expected support and encouragement. Zuo Xiaoxiao just told him to think about it carefully. After that, the two of them avoided talking about this matter until half an hour before the last class reunion, Zuo Xiaoxiao made Ren Pingsheng next to Jinhu and ended their relationship in person.

All this exceeded Ren Pingsheng's idea. When the girl who made him fascinated said that sentence in person, the ideal world he had always yearned for suddenly collapsed, and his plans and blueprints for future life were torn apart. Even though Zuo Xiaoxiao expressed her sincere apology, she was very determined and irreversible for the end of this relationship.

Ren Pingsheng couldn't remember how he came back from Jinhu that day. Everyone saw his despair, and the pain and despair in his eyes were also obvious. In Lin Lisong's words, Ren Pingsheng was simply a ghost, and his whole body was half broken.

But he didn't have time to lick his wounds, because in the evening, he had to serve as one of the hosts of the party, which was designated by a senior official of the School of Economics and Management. He could not show his fear in front of his classmates. He wanted to complete the last scene of campus life as a strong person.

In this way, Ren Pingsheng, with the pain that had just been torn, pretended to be nothing, and co-hosted the entire party with Gao Yuanyuan, and fully utilized his talent in public speeches, rap and teasing, and managed the atmosphere of the party very warmly and pleasantly, which also made the college leaders and teachers who attended the party that day very satisfied.

Only a very few people know that Ren Pingsheng's expression of chatting and laughing was just to suppress his sadness and pain. From beginning to end, he searched for Zuo Xiaoxiao's figure in the crowd, hoping to win her back again.

But things in the world are often not as good as others wish. Zuo Xiaoxiao did not appear at the party all night. She seemed to want to cut off all connections with Ren Pingsheng and prevent him from leaving a trace of fantasy. Is she really so determined and so ruthless? This kind of conjecture caused a greater blow to Ren Pingsheng.

Since the meal, Ren Pingsheng has been extremely excited and active. Not only has he toasted his leaders and teachers frequently, but he also asked his classmates to drink everywhere. His drinking method and alcohol tolerance have surprised the students who have been classmates for four years. You must know that Ren Pingsheng was known for his conservative drinking before, and he actually drank so easily tonight.

Only Ren Pingsheng himself knew that he was using the wine glass to water the tide in his heart, and using the noise and excitement to cover up the scars in his heart. The anesthetic effect of alcohol can temporarily forget the pain of being broken up, forget Zuo Xiaoxiao, and forget all this unsatisfactory.

So he drank desperately, drank from the restaurant to the KTV, and from the KTV to the road. He drank unconsciously and fell asleep with the road stake until Shi Xiaolian woke him up.

But, wait... there are some things that are wrong here.

Ren Pingsheng remembers that it was more than ten years ago that he got drunk after breaking up with Zuo Xiaoxiao, but didn’t he just attend the 10th anniversary party of his classmates in the 202 Economic Management Class 3? How could he appear in this place?

He did vomit after the party, but it was vomiting in the flower pot of the Golden Dragon Hotel. It was not the road stake in front of him. Moreover, Shi Xiaolian did not appear at the 10th anniversary party at all. How could she be by her side?

Let’s look at Shi Xiaolian in front of me. Although she is still not astonishing, her skin on her face is still full of youthful fullness and elasticity. This is clearly Shi Xiaolian when she just graduated. It’s impossible for her to still look like a girl after more than ten years. That’s too scary.

Ren Pingsheng looked around and finally recognized what this place was. This was a student street near Hanhai University. The class reunion was held in the most lively restaurant on the street. However, this restaurant and this street had long disappeared with the city's transformation. Now it has been replaced by the newly built two-way four-lane road and shopping mall. However, what Ren Pingsheng saw was the dilapidated and old appearance more than ten years ago.

On the street more than ten years ago, Shi Xiaolian, who had graduated before graduation, was drunk after being broken up... These were all placed in front of him, just like the stinking smell of the vomit vomited on the ground. This made Ren Pingsheng feel confused, and he couldn't help but have a bold idea.
