Star Iron: I picked up a secretary at the beginning of March 7th

"Life is all fleeting, like a dream."

After listening to Hualin's words, Cangye was not too...excited?

Anyway, the situation was completely different from what Hualin had imagined. He originally thought that Cangye would be very surprised after hearing it, but he didn't expect that she would just sigh casually.

"......Gone?"

"Then tell me..." Cangye poured himself another glass of wine, then looked at the wine in the glass and asked, "How old do you think you are now?"

"...one year older than you."

"Come on." Cangye rolled his eyes and complained, "If it weren't for my sister... and that damn Eric who helped you get an identity and reported your age as 21 so that you could be the closer, how could you be one year older than me?"

"You admitted that I'm older than you."

"Childish. Tell me the truth, how old are you?"

"I can't remember clearly. Why should I care? Anyway, this body is still quite young. Don't worry about how long I have lived." Hualin shook the wine in the glass and said in a daze, "After all, I am older than you and I am your brother."

"Cut~"

The two of them then sipped their wine and chatted about other things:

"There's a broken piano on the art floor. Do you know how it broke? I asked the curator, Roland, and Netzach, but they all hesitated and wouldn't tell me. I feel like it has something to do with you."

"…Roland did it."

"Then why......"

"I played it. His wife was killed by the pianist, along with the unborn child."

"Well... that's not the case..."

"That was his favorite piano piece before, but now he really hates it because it takes away the angel."

"...Why are you still alive?"

"He couldn't beat me, then or now."

"..."

Cangye stopped talking and just drank in silence, one glass after another.

On the other hand, Hualin just put the second cup on the table without moving.

At this moment, he wanted to stop Cangye, but he didn't know how to start.

Drinking is bad for your health? Come on, excessive drinking is bad for your health. In Cangye's case, he is just drowning his sorrows in alcohol...right?

Hualin was not in a position to comment, but as her brother and doctor, he could only sit quietly by her side, keeping an eye on her condition.

"It's really dark." Hualin didn't notice that Cangye finished the bottle of liquor by himself. Of course, that was the amount after Hualin drank the glass and the remaining glass.

"Why? You want to sleep when it gets dark?"

"No, I just remembered a time when I was doing a commission." Cangye leaned back on the chair and slowly recalled, "Because of the commission, I didn't sleep all night. When I finished the commission and prepared to go to bed, it was noon."

"Because I was so exhausted, I didn't even close the curtains in the room. Even though there was light coming in, I ignored it and fell asleep."

"I remember it very clearly. Although the room was not blindingly bright before I went to bed, it was still quite bright. But you know what? When I woke up, it was already dawn after a late night in the alley."

"The night passed like this, but it was not more noisy because of the arrival of dawn, nor was it less quiet because of the departure of night."

"I just lay quietly in bed in the dark, feeling lonely and empty inside. My mind was very active, but I didn't even know what I was thinking."

"I just lay there until I got hungry, then I realized and got up."

"I know..." Hualin stood up at some point, reached out and touched Cangye's head and said softly, "Just like I thought at the beginning, why can't overnight water be drunk, but water from morning to afternoon can be drunk, what's the difference between the same eight hours..."

"I have been thinking about this for a long time. Maybe there is a kind of poison in the night, called loneliness."

"Now you don't have to worry, you have left there and have a new life. We are here, you won't be lonely anymore."

"...Don't touch my head." Although he said this, Cangye did not stop Hualin's actions. It was unknown whether he was really drunk or for some other reason.

"Yeah." Hualin withdrew his hand, and saw Cangye's head sank, and he fell asleep directly on the table. The two wine glasses, the empty ones almost fell to the ground, and the full ones poured out directly.

"Well, I'll go ask if there's any hangover soup." After hastily cleaning the table, Hualin turned around and prepared to leave, but he saw Sanyue and Xing and their group walking over.

"Hualin~Eh? Why do you smell like alcohol? Where's Cangye?" Due to the perspective, Hualin just blocked Cangye's view. Sanyue didn't notice the sleeping Cangye, but Xing and others could see him.

"Was it Cangye who drank the wine? Did she drink too much and then fell asleep on the table?" Uncle Yang was still asking Hualin what happened, but Xing walked straight forward, walked around Hualin, pinched Cangye's face, trying to wake Cangye up.

"Yeah, it's her... Eh? Xing, what are you doing? Huh?! Come here!"

Seeing Xing attacking Cangye like this, Hualin immediately turned around and pulled Xing back: "Let her have a good rest. I'll go to Aunt Cuisi to ask if there is any sobering soup."

"walk slowly."

Hualin turned around and looked at Sanyue. When Sanyue saw Hualin looking at her, she turned her head away in shame. But the next second, she felt a hint of warmth and her hand was held.

"Eh?"

"Why are you in a daze? Don't you want to be with me?"

"but I......"

Sanyue seemed to want to say something, but was dragged away by Hualin.

"I know what you want to tell me, but it's not your fault." As there were not many people around, Hualin slowed down his pace, "After all, that guy turned into my appearance... It's over, it's over."

"Um......"

March responded in a low voice, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was in a bad mood, not to mention that she was looking down.

Suddenly, a "good idea" came to Hualin's mind.

"Sanyue, do you want some candy?" After walking with Hualin for a while with her head down, Sanyue heard Hualin asking her if she wanted some candy. Without thinking too much, she raised her head and replied, "Yes... Um!"

A softness covered my mouth, followed by a wonderful feeling that made me open my mouth involuntarily, and then...

"You...what's wrong with you?!"

"Is the candy delicious? It's imported."

"......tasty."

"anything else?"

"...be gentle〃?〃"

In a quiet alley, two figures hugged each other tightly.
