Tong Bin seemed to be very familiar with the surrounding environment. He led the way forward and spent two bends before finding a bright small street.

Stepping into this place is like stepping into the light from the darkness. The shops along the street are lit with signs, pedestrians and vehicles.

Sheng Yao looked at the signboard and suddenly remembered that this was a night market snack street that has emerged in the past two years. This street is located on the edge of the high-tech park, close to the residential area that is equipped with the Science and Technology Park. For employees of the Science and Technology Park, they can work and live here without leaving the park. Local TV news has reported here many times, but this is the first time Sheng Yao has been here.

After he calculated a little, he found that the Monster Clinic had moved nearly twenty kilometers.

"Just here." Tong Bin suddenly spoke, interrupting Sheng Yao's thoughts.

He chose a barbecue restaurant and sat directly in the open-air seat at the door of the store.

Sheng Yao sat down with him.

"Can you drink?" Tong Bin scanned the QR code on the table with his mobile phone and asked Sheng Yao.

"Can."

"Then I order two beer bottles. Is there any taboo?" Tong Bin asked again.

Sheng Yao shook his head.

Tong Bin was obviously very careful. After ordering some skewers, he handed his phone to Sheng Yao and asked him to add some.

Sheng Yao glanced at the things Tong Bin ordered and did not add them, "I've had supper. These are almost done."

"Oh." Tong Bin took back his cell phone, "I haven't eaten yet...but I'm not hungry."

He placed the order, put down his cell phone, lowered his head, staring at the patterns on the wooden table in a daze.

Sheng Yao did not break the awkward atmosphere.

He has been recalling his encounter with Tong Bin, recalling the information provided by Uncle Zhang, and recalling the thick medical record he saw in the Monster Clinic.

If Tong Bin was really the owner of that medical record, his condition would obviously be more serious than Liu Yu and Mao Mao. Has he already had mutated? Or is his condition more complicated? Has his life and death been through several years and had special experiences?

Sheng Yao became suspicious of what Tong Bin said before. The sincere attitude that Tong Bin showed was probably a clever acting skill. Or maybe... is this the power of the doctor's potion?

Sheng Yao looked at Tong Bin in front of him, and a feeling of worry arose, and at the same time, he also became alert.

"Your beer." The clerk brought two bottles of beer and disposable cups, "Is it for you now?"

Tong Bin raised his head, "Oh, it's open. Both bottles are open."

Puff! Scream—

The ice beer is filled with white mist.

Tong Bin filled himself with a cup, and the cup he gave Sheng Yao was also filled. He ignored Sheng Yao's reaction, held the cup, touched Sheng Yao's cup for a moment, and then suffocated a cup in one breath.

Sheng Yao held the cup and frowned slightly.

Tong Bin poured himself a drink, and after drinking one bottle, he picked up another bottle.

The skewers were not delivered at this time. The wooden table between the two was empty. Tong Bin was like a drunkard, drinking non-stop.

When Tong Bin was about to pour wine again, Sheng Yao raised his hand and pressed his wrist.

Tong Bin raised his eyes, and there was already a confusion in his eyes. He seemed not to be addicted to alcohol, and his alcohol tolerance was definitely not good.

"You haven't had dinner yet. Have something to eat later and then drink a bar." Sheng Yao chose the most harmless topic.

Tong Bin laughed "hehe". His eyes were circling in his sockets, and suddenly he held Sheng Yao's hand back to take back, let go of the cup with his other hand and pointed to the sky outside.

"Look at that." Tong Bin shouted.

Sheng Yao turned his head along Tong Bin's fingers, and quickly withdrew his gaze, "What's wrong with that building?"

"That office building...the first floor and the second floor of that building is a hotel. Upwards is an office area, rent it out... I have a classmate who opened a company there - ah, it is not a company. He just puts that kind of accounting, business, and department here, and the R&D center is in the park. In addition, he has money, so he specially set up a R&D center. Not only here, but in other cities... it seems that two or three branches have been opened." Tong Bin said blindly.

Sheng Yao nodded, "Oh. Then he is developing very well."

"Yes. It has developed well, it has developed well..." Tong Bin took the bottle of wine again and poured himself wine. "He is the best in our class. So he wants to hold a class reunion. Tomorrow night, he will book a restaurant below. Not only the classmates in our class, but also the students in our college, but also those who are several higher and lower than us. His former scientific research group, and those who are studying for a doctorate... His fees are all included. Calculate, hundreds of people are larger, all the fees are included, or a buffet, a particularly good buffet... He also asked us to take our families... with our families..."

When Tong Bin said this, he sipped the beer and poured it on himself. When pouring the wine, he glanced at Sheng Yao, as if he was looking at Sheng Yao's face, afraid that Sheng Yao would stop him.

Sheng Yao did not stop Tong Bin. He had already heard the implicit meaning of Tong Bin's words, but he did not answer the words. He was a little confused about Tong Bin's personality. Is Tong Bin really amazing acting skills, or is he a very ordinary and soft-hearted man like he showed? Is he really pretending to be crazy by drinking to vent his emotions, or is he trying to hint something?

Tong Bin finished drinking all this bottle, and then he shook the bottle unwillingly, "Get two more bottles."

"Let's wait for the skewers to come up." Sheng Yao persuaded him unconsciously.

Tong Bin didn't lose his temper, nor did he place an order by himself. He seemed to have listened to Sheng Yao's words, drooped his head and sighed.

"Tomorrow... Yaya will bring her husband here tomorrow... Her husband, hey! Do you know? She has already obtained a marriage certificate with that man! She is not a boyfriend!" Tong Bin showed a crying and laughing expression, "It's not a boyfriend, it's a husband. She got the marriage certificate with someone after she changed jobs last year, but she didn't hold a wedding banquet... She is ready to hold a wedding banquet... She and that man have been in love for a long time. They all know... They all know... I'm just stupid..."

Sheng Yao watched Tong Bin slowly lying on the table, as if all his strength had been removed, and he could only slime like mud.

Tong Bin's eyes were still open, and his eyes were staring at the tabletop with nonchalance. He suddenly calmed down. He held the tabletop with both hands, raised his hands again, and grabbed his hair in pain.

The clerk brought the skewers at this time. He looked at Tong Bin lying on the table, and looked at Sheng Yao with a silence.

Sheng Yao smiled and picked up the cup, "Please get two more bottles of beer."

"Oh. You have to place an order on your phone."

"Okay." Sheng Yao took a sip of wine and took out his cell phone. He placed the order and when the beer came up, he poured it into Tong Bin's cup.

Sheng Yao followed Tong Bin's appearance just now, held the cup, touched Tong Bin's cup, and slapped half a glass of wine in one gulp, and then said, "It's your classmate who is doing well that wants to hold a class reunion. You know that Kong Yajie has long had a boyfriend and got married long ago?"

Tong Bin raised his head slightly, rubbed his face, and smiled bitterly, "Yes... they said in the class group. Zheng Yichao convened a classmate meeting in the group last week." He started talking, looked at Sheng Yao again, and added: "Many people in our class have worked in this industry after graduation, which is a field related to artificial intelligence. Some are in R&D positions, and some are in other positions. Everyone knows that Zheng Yichao is doing well, and he has set up his own business, and has gained a foothold in the industry, gained a large domestic market, and has cooperated with some foreign companies. Everyone is in this industry and gives him face. Besides, he has a good relationship with everyone when he was in college and can get along with everyone. Everyone has a good relationship."

Tong Bin seemed to wake up and drink, as if he was following Sheng Yao's speech, the pain of breaking up found a channel to vent his heart, which made him feel a little more awake.

"Many people have said they want to participate. Zheng Yichao bought air tickets and booked a hotel for some other places. He is very generous now." Tong Bin was a little envious, and his tone soon became depressed again. "He named Yaya in the group today and asked her why she didn't go to his company if she had a job beating. Two or three people started to make a fuss. Yaya was beautiful when she was in college, and the boys discussed it privately. She was the best person in our class. She didn't go with the boys... It was just me. At that time, she was assigned to the same group with her, and she often did homework together. After graduation, she was the same..."

Tong Bin closed his eyes in pain and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He seemed to be trapped in memories, remembered the wonderful time in college, and how two young people who had just entered society grew up together.

"We two really have a tacit understanding... we were written in cooperation with our graduation thesis. She helped me part of it, and I helped her part of it. After work, we worked overtime together, were criticized together, and celebrated together if there were good things..." Tong Bin whispered.

Sheng Yao handed out the cup at the right time and clashed with Tong Bin's cup.

Although it was a disposable paper cup and there was no sound of clinking the cups, Sheng Yao's move still soothes Tong Bin's expression a little.

He sipped his drink and continued, "The classmates in the group started to make a fuss. Zheng Yichao was not married and had no girlfriend. Yaya was a famous beauty in college. Zheng Yichao jumped out and called them. He said... he said Yaya had a boyfriend... everyone else was surprised. No one heard of this. Someone else joked and asked Zheng Yichao if he wanted to add something next, that boyfriend was him..."

Tong Bin fiddled with the disposable cup, his head was buried low, "The two people in Yaya's dormitory came out to speak... It turned out that she had a boyfriend for a long time and had a marriage certificate. The man is also very famous in our circle. Now he is a technical backbone in a leading company. It is not that kind of gimmick, it is really amazing. When he was abroad, our company had conditions to dig him... They are preparing to hold a drink this year... They are all congratulating and teasing Yaya for hiding deeply... Zheng Yichao asked Yaya to bring her husband to the class reunion..."

"What did Kong Yajie say?" Sheng Yao asked.

Tong Bin drank the wine in one gulp, "No... Yaya didn't come out. Maybe it was blocking the news. Her roommate said she would call her."

"So, her roommate and Zheng Yichao know about this?" Sheng Yao took a sip of wine, picked up the skewers, and handed them to Tong Bin.

"No." Tong Bin answered casually, took the skewers and bit absent-mindedly, "Probably they all know... Zheng Yichao all knows, maybe many people know... In addition to Yaya's roommate, there are girls who said they knew it long ago. They said that Yaya would call her boyfriend and travel together during the winter and summer vacations. They might have heard her call... She graduated, her boyfriend went abroad, she also went abroad to see him, and sent her two roommates. Maybe the girls knew it privately. Maybe some boys also knew it. At that time, there were two couples in our class... Anyway... I was just kept in the dark."

Tong Bin threw down the bamboo stick, showed an angry expression, and took a sip of wine.

He drank one after another, and then gnawed on the skewers like venting his anger.

Sheng Yao didn't stop him.

Gradually, Tong Bin was really drunk.

He lay on the table again, grabbing his hair with both hands, "Yaya... why, why... why don't you tell me..."

Sheng Yao lowered his eyes slightly and stared at Tong Bin.

Sheng Yao could see that Tong Bin's initial "drunk talk" was somewhat sober. Tong Bin was like Liu Yu, feeling depressed and had nowhere to vent his depression. He grabbed him, an irrelevant outsider, as an emotional trash can.

Sheng Yao's unresponsiveness made Tong Bin embarrassed and made him naturally change his way of speaking.

Tong Bin was still cautious when facing him, a stranger who had no interest, with a less obvious pleasing and begging.

Such a person even blames the woman he likes, he will bend around and helpless, and will not say a harsh word.

Tong Bin is completely drunk now. Even though he is completely drunk, he does not scold Kong Yajie.

He was like Liu Yu who was drunk at the time. Liu Yu had a sarcoma on his body, but there was no change in his body.

Is there any other conditions?

Sheng Yao couldn't help but think.

Tong Bin repeatedly asked why, muttering and talking nonsense like most drunks.

The night is getting darker. The business of the surrounding shops is not yet deserted, but there are more and more people.

There were only two people on Sheng Yao and the others at this table, and most of the remaining skewers on the table were cold.

Several groups of people passing by were looking at Sheng Yao and Tong Bin when they couldn't find the empty seat. Even the waiters in the store took the time to help them collect all the empty wine bottles, and asked more questions if they wanted to order another order.

Sheng Yao looked at Tong Bin who was drunk helplessly, took out his cell phone and checked the nearby hotels.

He looked at it for a long time and reached out to pat Tong Bin on the shoulder, "Did you bring your ID card?"

Tong Bin opened his eyes blankly, "Why did you tell her why, why did she hide it from me?"

"Where is your home?" Sheng Yao asked without hope, and got Tong Bin's same question again.

Sheng Yao sighed in his heart. He hesitated for a while, but still called a car, chose the destination at his own home, and asked the clerk how many plastic bags he asked for.

Online car-hailing will arrive soon.
