"Hey, why are you crying?" Lin Yue looked at Zhang Yi suspiciously, wondering in her heart that she didn't seem to have said anything excessive.

Zhang Yi's heart tightened and he blinked hastily, trying to hide the tears in his eyes. However, at this moment, a hot teardrop rolled down the corner of his eye uncontrollably.

He wiped his face in a hurry, then quickly turned his head and explained hastily: "No...nothing, it's just that the taste of this wine is too strong, it stung my eyes, haha."

Lin Yue glanced at him doubtfully, but seeing how miserable he looked, she didn't think much about it. Instead, she started to worry about something else: "Are you allergic to alcohol? If that's the case, I can't let you stay here."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi quickly shook his head vigorously and said repeatedly: "Really not, don't worry, I'm not allergic to alcohol. Forget about this, let's continue talking about the Deng family's Ipsilon..."

As soon as the name Deng Shentong is mentioned, any woman in Blizzard City will instantly become extremely excited.

Lin Yue was no exception. She had completely forgotten the incident and said with anticipation, "This Deng Shentong is quite an amazing person! Not only does he have an outstanding appearance, but also an extraordinary temperament. He is simply the perfect man in the minds of countless girls!"

Zhang Yi suddenly stopped wiping the wine glass, his fingers trembled slightly, and a barely perceptible blush appeared on his ears.

He quickly lowered his eyes, not daring to look at anyone, thinking to himself, don’t I know whether it looks good or not?

At this time, Lin Yue on the side became more and more excited, and her voice unconsciously rose octaves: "What's more amazing is that he is the future successor to the commander-in-chief of our Blizzard City! Countless ladies from prominent families dream of becoming his partner! But unfortunately..." At this point, Lin Yue sighed heavily.

Hearing this, Zhang Yi's heart couldn't help but move, and finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Yue shook her head and replied with a look of regret on her face: "It's a pity that this gentleman seems to have no interest in women. He has never even had a confidante in all these years. Perhaps it's because his standards are too high. Ordinary women are simply not in his eyes."

When Zhang Yi heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely noticeable smile, and he felt secretly proud in his heart.

He picked up the wine glass he had just washed and took a sniff. The air was filled with a light aroma of wine, but it was also mixed with a faint overpowering sweetness. He probably thought that the wine was brewed over too hot.

"Indeed, he definitely looks down on ordinary women." He muttered to himself.

"But, he's already married!" Lin Yue sighed.

"What? He's married?"

Zhang Yi was so shocked that the wine glass in his hand shook violently and almost slipped and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Yue quickly reached out and caught it steadily. She glared at Zhang Yi fiercely and said angrily:

"Hey! Why are you so startled? How can you be so clumsy? As a bartender, the most basic requirement is to be steady. Look at you now, what can you accomplish?"

Facing Lin Yue's blame and complaints, Zhang Yi seemed to be deaf to them. At this moment, it was as if a bomb suddenly exploded in his mind, deafening him and making him dizzy. There was only a blank space left in his mind.

"He married Zhu Yunque, the niece of the current commander Zhu Zheng. Their wedding was a grand one."

Lin Yue's eyes revealed an envious look, and she changed the subject: "But, everyone knows that this is a political marriage, otherwise how could Zhu Zheng give him the position of commander so easily."

Zhang Yi felt a sense of loss. He fiddled with the wine bottle silently and lowered his head. His slightly long bangs concealed his expression well.

In fact, he had already thought of this situation. If he still had supernatural powers, it would take only half an hour to get from the holy land of snow-capped mountains in Tibet to Jiangnan.

But he didn't. During this period, he walked and stopped frequently. When he was seriously injured, he had to take a few days to rest and recover. He struggled on the brink of life and death countless times.

It was freezing cold, with strange beasts all around, and he barely managed to walk back to the Jiangnan region on one breath, which took him a full year.

A year is enough to change a lot. Now that Zhang Yi is no longer in this world, we must of course get back on track.

Deng Shentong is already a child of destiny. If he can marry Zhu Yunque, he will be even more powerful and his position will be as solid as a rock on the top of a mountain.

No matter how I weigh the pros and cons, I really can't find any reason to refuse this matter.

Lin Yue seemed to see through the ups and downs in his heart. She gently patted his shoulder and comforted him: "From the beginning, you kept asking me about Deng Shentong. Could it be that... you are..."

Zhang Yi's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help thinking that this little girl was very smart and clever.

"Never mind, no need to explain, I understand." Lin Yue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a look of pretending to be deep: "What about Ipsilon? Who among the men in the world doesn't admire him? He has many followers, I am used to it."

Zhang Yi gave a helpless smile, shook his head slowly, then silently put down the wine glass in his hand and remained silent.

After the Password Bar closed, the streets shrouded in darkness were particularly deserted and lonely. Zhang Yi strolled alone, with countless thoughts surging in his mind.

Every moment spent with Deng Shentong in the past is like a silent movie constantly playing before my eyes, and those beautiful memories are like colorful fireworks, blooming brilliantly in my heart.

However, the reality is so cruel that the gears of fate turn mercilessly, taking them in different directions.

He is no longer the Chaos who could call the wind and rain and cover the sky with one hand, nor is he the majestic deputy captain beside Deng Shentong. Now he is just an ordinary man who is extremely ordinary and powerless.

No one in this world remembers that there had ever been such a glorious and powerful Zhang Yi. It was as if his existence had been wiped out without leaving a trace.

This is the price, but Zhang Yi does not feel resentful. After all, to be able to reach this point today is already a happy ending for him.

He slowly walked into the cramped, dark, cold and damp rental house. The dilapidated environment around him was like a mirror, clearly reflecting the huge gap between him and Deng Shentong at this moment.

Deng Shentong naturally didn't remember him. Moreover, after losing the supernatural power that he relied on for survival, Zhang Yi was worthless to him and he didn't even take him seriously.

Zhang Yi knew clearly in his heart that this relationship would never bear fruit, so he could only bury it deep in his heart, turning it into a scar that could never be healed.

Why bother to keep playing that annoying role?

Just a glance, a look from afar, and knowing that the other person is still living safely and soundly is enough for Zhang Yi.
