Since my last trip to Beiyuan, my life has returned to normal. I take care of the business in the store every day, and my phone is still turned off, so I don't have time to think about other things. More than a month has passed, and the weather has become completely hot. It's the rhythm of summer. Once the weather starts to get hot, the business in the store is not so good. The streets are full of stalls selling cold dishes and beer. We are no exception. We set up a beer stall in front of the store and sell peanuts, edamame and the like.

When there are guests, I am busy. When there are no guests, I sit in a rocking chair, fan myself with a paper fan, and watch the sunset slowly sink. It is a very enjoyable thing. This time, I completely lost contact with everyone in Beiyuan. Because Yu Chengfei asked them not to disturb my life, I lived a very quiet and happy life. As the saying goes: "Spring has flowers, autumn has moon, summer has cool breeze, and winter has snow. If you don't have anything to worry about, every year is a good season."

Often, I fall asleep while sitting in a rocking chair. In my dreams, I miss the days of swordplay and passion. When I wake up, I stand up excitedly and chop down hard with the paper fan in my hand, only to find that it was just a dream. I shake my head and smile bitterly.

That afternoon, I had just seen off a group of guests and was cleaning up the table when I suddenly saw a pair of feet standing in front of me. I didn't even raise my head and said reflexively, "Are you drinking? Come and sit down!" The man said, "Drink until you're drunk!" I looked up in surprise: "Ye Zhan!" The man was Ye Zhan. I hadn't seen him for more than a month and found that he seemed to have gained some weight. I guess he was recuperating in bed. But his demeanor remained the same. He was still a handsome man walking on the street.

"Rat!" We hugged each other warmly and laughed heartily at the same time.

"Hey, are you okay?!" I looked at his whole body in surprise. "Yes, I am fine." Ye Zhan walked around in place and even jumped. He was indeed fine. "Come on, come on, come on." I pulled him to sit down, then went to serve two plates of cold dishes and poured two large glasses of bubbling draft beer. I picked up one of the glasses and said happily, "Brother, congratulations on your new life!" Ye Zhan also picked up the beer and clinked it with me. We both tilted our heads back and drank it all in one gulp.

I refilled my beer and said with a smile, "Not bad. Last time I saw you, you couldn't walk, but this time you can run and jump."

"That's right." Ye Zhan picked up the beer and clinked it with mine again. This time he didn't finish it so quickly, but took small sips. "I've been reborn. How about you? When are you going to be reborn?"

"I'm already getting a new lease of life." I spread my arms and said, "It's so comfortable running this shop and living a simple life."

"Ready to make a clean break with the past?"

"Yes." I nodded and drank.

"You are not someone who is willing to remain silent." Ye Zhan said, "Everyone is waiting for you to go back. After conquering Chenggao and Beiqi, Brother Yu still needs your help. Brother Yu is under attack from all sides, with Qiu Feng and Nie Yuanlong, and he can't even go back to school."

I said curiously, "Brother Yu, is he not going back to school because he wants to watch the Internet cafe?"

"No." Ye Zhan said, "Qiu Feng and Nie Yuanlong are going to fight to the death in school. They are afraid that Yu Chengfei will take advantage of the opportunity to interfere, so they have expressly forbidden him to return to the vocational college. Yu Chengfei can only return to the vocational college to compete with the winner after one of them wins completely. When Qiu Feng and Nie Yuanlong are still undecided, Yu Chengfei must stay outside the school and must not enter the gate of the vocational college at will, otherwise he will be besieged by the other two parties - this is the real reason why Brother Yu does not return to the vocational college."

"This..." I said in surprise, "It doesn't sound like a big deal. But no matter who wins between Qiu Feng and Nie Yuanlong, the winner will definitely swallow up the remaining forces of the loser. They are much stronger than Brother Yu's forces. Isn't this even more..."

"Who said it wasn't?" Ye Zhan sighed.

I stood up suddenly and paced back and forth for a few steps. Yu Chengfei seemed to be facing a great disaster. This...

"You need to go back to Beiyuan." Ye Zhan said, "Use the power of Chenggao and Beiqi to help Brother Yu take over the Vocational College."

I sat down, was silent for a while and said, "Chenggao has Brick and the Four Heavenly Kings, Beiqi has you and the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes, it doesn't matter whether I'm here or not. You can still help Brother Yu, I... I still..."

"It's different!" Ye Zhan said seriously: "Haozi, think about it carefully. Will the hooligans in Chenggao listen to Brick? Will they listen to the Four Heavenly Kings? When did they come out for your face? As for Beiqi, I will temporarily lead the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes, and I can still mobilize the other hooligans. But with you here, the people's hearts can be more unified, and you are the unchanging backbone of everyone!"

"Haozi, come back, everyone needs you..." Ye Zhan looked at me seriously.

I gasped for breath, and the scene of Yang Mengying falling appeared again and again in front of my eyes. The sound of gunfire, the snow, the shadows... turned around in my mind. Unconsciously, I grabbed my hair tightly, forcing myself not to think about it anymore. But it was useless. Those scenes seemed to have taken root, growing and spinning in my mind, filling every corner.

"Mouse..." Ye Zhan held my wrist in panic: "Are you okay?"

I slowly calmed down and said softly, "It's okay."

"Okay, if you don't want to go back, then don't go back. I won't force you." Ye Zhan said, "In fact, Brother Yu didn't let us come to see you. I just came to see you to reminisce about the past because I was discharged from the hospital. I didn't realize I had said so much. Oh! Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's drink!"
