  "Fang Li, I just saw Wei Mingyuan, he's with his girlfriend." Su Xia's eyes gazed out the window, where a person who was deeply in love with her was stealing someone else's happiness.

  "Su Xia, don't be sad, we're all the same." Fang Li thought of her first love, now with someone else, and her heart felt like it was freezing. Especially since Du Ruo used to be their friend, but now because of An Junli, everything is turned upside down, and the future path of the four people is unknown.

  "Who's sad? I dreamed that Wei Mingyuan tripped and fell while walking yesterday, and I laughed out loud in my quilt!" Su Xia laughed very loudly, just like the sunflowers blooming at the door, facing the sunlight, even if she laughed out tears, they would evaporate in the wind without leaving any trace.

  "Cut the crap, Su Xia. Everyone knows that beneath your tough exterior lies a delicate heart of a girl. Stop pretending to be strong for that fragile little heart of yours." Yu Meng Xi's sharp tongue was always on point, even though just moments before she had been furious about Yue Lin Feng's disappearance.

  "Get out, Mengxi! You're quite bold, aren't you? Just the other day you were on the verge of death, and now you have the nerve to mock me. I'll show you what's good for that mouth of yours!" Su Xia was just as ruthless with her words.

  "That's enough, I still can't bear the thought of Du Ruo. Now all I need to do is calm down and I can see Du Ruo dancing, dancing so beautifully, but then she falls to the ground. She stares at me with her eyes wide open, motionless, just asking me why." "Actually, I am too, but what can we do? Everything has already gone beyond repair. Du Ruo will never forgive us, do you want to die to make up for it?" Su Xia's face was always like a magic trick, sometimes very cold and icy, sometimes very evil, like a little rascal, happily being naughty. But the sorrowful Su Xia had only been seen by Dream Creek and Fang Li.

  "I'm the most self-reproachful, I now even have the heart to cut off my own hands. Why was I so impulsive that day? If only my fingers hadn't landed on Du Ruo's body, if only Du Ruo hadn't retreated step by step under my vicious words... Alas, if Du Ruo had always been like this, I might really have paid with my life." Meng Xi said.

  "It's not like it's a big deal, death is nothing special, it's just from one end to the other. But you two, living without even a single exciting experience, what face and qualifications do you have to die? You'll be looked down upon when you get to the afterlife. However, I'll reluctantly burn some more paper for you, so you can at least clear the way."

  Su Xia's words made Meng Xi and Fang Li so angry that their teeth itched. Meng Xi often suspected that his teeth were always sore, which was a leftover symptom from arguing with Su Xia since they met.

  "Suxia, can't you just say something nice for once? No wonder Weimingyuan didn't want you in the end."

  "Who says, my charm is irresistible? On the way here, there was even a little girl who winked at me! And another girl actually gave me the flowers her boyfriend sent to her? In fact, I'm very low-key, it's just that many people are attracted to me like moths to fire." Su Xia said proudly.

  "This only proves that you look very abstract, the male rabbit's foot is messy, the female rabbit's eyes are dazed, the two rabbits walk side by side on the ground, how can I tell whether I am male or female? Su Xia, please don't go out and deceive innocent girls again. If someone gave their first secret crush to you, what a great sin that would be!" Meng Xi also sarcastically teased Su Xia.

  "Yes, Su Xia, originally the male-to-female ratio in China is already imbalanced. Your existence wastes so many resources and brings so much pressure and competition to those poor male compatriots!" Fang Li didn't usually say such sharp and piercing words, but at this time she couldn't retreat either.

  "Nonsense, my existence will universally raise the aesthetic standards of our female compatriots, so they won't be easily deceived by any random scumbag."

  If I were to be reborn as a mole on your palm, every time you clench your fist, you could hold me in your grasp. That way, I wouldn't have any reason to refuse the warmth you offer. Perhaps I'm just a moth, destined to fly only through summer and autumn, so it's not that I'm stupid for flying into flames, but rather I'd rather find your light in my final moments than die alone in the cold. - Su Xia

  Now Fang Li and the others are drinking together, they used to not drink this useless liquor, sorrow is a kind of heart that has nothing to do with these artificial products. But now they have passed the age of peace and quiet, they occasionally need some anesthesia, telling themselves that some things should be put down. An Junli and the others are also the same, happy to drink, sad to drink. No matter what wine is, whether it's harmful to health, making people sink, sometimes people just want to indulge themselves, throwing everything behind their minds. Mo Xiao drinks while thinking about how to solve Yueyue's problem without involving Fang Li. An Junli thinks about whether Fang Li's past was good or not, and how to help Du Ruo repay these debts for her. Xi Jue thinks that since Yan said she wanted to return to her hometown, he hasn't seen her, now that so many things have happened, he doesn't know how to help Junli and Mo Xiao.

  Da Zhi is still struggling to make a living, Su Qi'er's family has gone through something, and Meng Wei's family doesn't agree with his painting, locking him at home. Originally six people together were like an organization, walking on the street could block a road, now only three lonely people are left. Is it the price of growing up that is destined to be either estrangement or separation?

  The Buddha said that the five hundred glances in past lives were exchanged for a brush of shoulders in this life. So, people who are destined to miss each other must have glanced back at each other thousands and millions of times in their past lives, becoming too tired and exhausted, so they are bound to miss each other again in this life.

  Su Xia said she didn't believe in fate, and she bet that as long as she was willing, Wei Mingyuan would still come back to her side.

  But Fang Li is a fatalist, she says, "Those who believe in fate follow it, those who don't are dragged along by it. Mo Xiao likes me, I like An Junli, but An Junli stays with Du Ruobing, this is fate, we were destined to be entangled like this, but as long as I stand still and turn towards Mo Xiao, won't we all find fulfillment?" The time now is already very late, there are still people getting drunk in the bar, and there are still people wandering around on the street with broken hearts. The ebb and flow of people coming and going isn't a crowd, but a desolate tide. Each person is swept up in an endless ocean, at this unguarded hour, no one can escape unscathed.

  Time is always in a hurry, even when you're sad it won't give you an extra second. The sun still rises and sets, after the dark night there's always another dawn, nothing can resist reality.
