Chapter 255 Night Light
The night deepens.
There are no stars, only street lights.
People were walking in twos and threes on the street.
A slender figure was walking aimlessly alone. After turning a corner, she bent down and placed the bread and yogurt in the bag in front of a homeless man who was sleeping against the wall. Before the homeless man could wake up and say thank you, she had already walked away.
Shortly afterwards, a tall and straight man passed by the homeless man who was eating voraciously.
He walked slowly, following the person in front of him from a distance.
Like a shadow following silently.

Shen Pianxian took off the mask and stuffed it into his pocket, causing his clothes to bulge out suddenly.
Then she picked up a bottle of wine in a plastic bag, stopped under a street light and bit open the bottle cap with her teeth.
She also put the lid into her pocket.
She raised the bottle and took a sip. The cold and spicy liquid rolled down her throat, which rarely drank, and she coughed uncomfortably.
But I swallowed it anyway.
A car honked its horn as it passed by on the street. She wiped her mouth and walked slowly along the street, holding the bottle of wine.
Occasionally, she would look up and see the dim street lights, and suddenly she would remember a summer night in Yungang many years ago when she had sneaked out through a dog hole to buy ramen made by an old lady in the old alley, because her grandfather's family did not allow her to eat midnight snacks after dinner, otherwise her snacks for the next day would be confiscated.
At that time, the street lights in Yungang were also this color.
The fuzzy yellow with distinct texture, sprinkled in the dark night, looks like crushed dull gold powder.
Shen Pianpian took a sip of wine.
She thought.
There's no going back.
Even if I go to Yungang again, it cannot be called "going back".
Grandpa went to visit Xia Yunduan's grave today and probably left a lot of delicious food there.
But he didn't know that there was actually nothing under the tombstone.
The coffin was empty.
And those who were crying and sad around him, their tears were fake, and their sadness was fake.
After taking another big gulp of wine, Shen Pianpian quickly threw away an empty bottle and opened a new one.
She continued to stagger along amidst the streetlights, which were the same color as in previous years.
Like a wandering ghost.

In addition to the people from Yungang, many big families in the imperial capital would certainly not miss this "grand event".
Anyone who works in a large enterprise will inevitably encounter situations where they need guns and ammunition for self-defense.
As the king of arms, the Huo family is of course an object that needs to be won over.
Mr. Huo naturally would not get involved in such things. After returning from the tomb-sweeping visit, he had dinner at the Ning family, and then went out to find a hotel to stay in.
The eldest son of the Huo family who came with him became the protagonist of this party.
In the brightly lit hall of the Ning family, the atmosphere did not seem like tomb-sweeping day at all.
The noble young men and young ladies of the imperial capital and the rarely seen young masters and young ladies of Yungang gathered in groups of three or four, talking and laughing.
At this time, someone walked in from the side door in a low-key manner and glanced at the familiar faces.
He curled his lips slightly, raised his chin to the people around him, and went straight to the terrace.
His men immediately blended into the crowd and walked towards a small circle. In the center of the circle was a beautiful girl who was dressed casually but had a very noble and decent smile.
"Ms. Du Ruo."
When the man's voice sounded, the girl looked over and her eyes immediately lit up.
Unlike her noble yet distant expression just now, her smile at this moment was genuine and full of surprise.
She quickly left behind a bunch of imperial nobles who wanted to establish good relationships with her and followed the man away.

Yan Yi, who was staying on the terrace, had just received a call from his bald agent.
"I ordered her a midnight snack around seven o'clock, but the delivery guy told me no one was home. No one answered the door no matter how much I knocked. I called her, but no one answered. Did she call you?"
Yan Yi slowly frowned.
"Why would she call me? Go look for her at her house first, and I'll call her."
"Who are you going to call?"
A cheerful and surprised female voice suddenly sounded behind me.
Yan Yi hung up the phone calmly and turned around.
