Luo Hongyi was one of the regular customers of Nepenthes Bar.

　　He had been working in Beijing for many years now and he could be considered as a semi-successful person. Although he was very busy during the day, he still made time to visit the bar in the evening. He would order a few c.o.c.ktails and quietly idle away the long, dark nights.

　　Luo Hongyi didn’t like extremely noisy places, but he also didn’t like being lonely by himself. The atmosphere of the bars in Houhai made him feel comfortable, but he didn’t come there to look for a woman, but rather to relax his taut heartstrings.

　　Tonight, just as he sat on his usual place at the bar, he head Lu Chen singing《You Who Sat Next to Me》.

　　“......

　　You were always really careful,

　　Asking to borrow half of my eraser,

　　You had also said by accident,

　　That you like being with me,

　　Back then the skies were always blue,

　　The days were pa.s.sing too slowly,

　　You were always saying that graduation is far away,

　　In no time we have drifted apart!

　　Who met the sentimental you,

　　Who comforted you who loved to cry,

　　Who read the letter I wrote to you,

　　Who threw it to the wind,

　　......”

　　As an elite worker, Luo Hongyi had long been used to conflicts. He himself believed that his heart were as impregnable as steel, and that it was unlikely that he would be moved by anyone again.

　　But after hearing this ballad of a sorrowful reminiscence, he suddenly discovered that his heart wasn’t as stone cold as he thought, and that he still had an unsatisfied soft spot deep within.

　　Seatmates were probably one of the most precious memories of youth. Most people often had their first love with their seatmates even though they didn’t understand love during that time. Therefore, this love was pure, and pure and honest feelings were the most beautiful!

　　Luo Hongyi also had a seatmate engraved on the depths of his memories. It was a girl with a “tóng” character in her name.

　　Meeting, becoming friends, falling in love, quarrelling, reconciling, and finally graduating, only to drift apart in a blink of an eye!

　　It was like a melodramatic modern drama, yet that was what Luo Hongyi experienced in his d.a.m.ned youth!

　　He could no longer remember the past, but at this moment, Luo Hongyi suddenly had a strong urge to call Tong just to ask her one question——Are you doing fine?

　　But that was a very very long time ago, so they had already lost contact with each other.

　　“......

　　The old days have pa.s.sed,

　　I will also have my own wife.

　　I will show her the photos,

　　Tell her about you who sat next to me.

　　Who married the sentimental you,

　　Who comforted you who loved to cry,

　　Who tied your hair into a bun,

　　Who gave you your wedding dress,

　　La…”

　　Luo Hongyi suddenly stood up, almost knocking over the wine table in front of him, but he didn’t care, he grabbed an unopened wine bottle and walked with large strides towards the stage.

　　On stage, Lu Chen had just finished singing the last verse of the song.

　　The entire audience was silent and, as if by G.o.d’s magic, time seemed to have stopped at that moment.

　　Lu Chen was feeling very good.

　　It was because everyone’s eyes were focused at him, n.o.body was talking, n.o.body was drinking, n.o.body was being casual, and not a single person ignored him.

　　Right there, on that stage, he had used a new song to conquer them all!

　　However, there was a well-dressed middle aged man quickly heading towards the stage, his footsteps stumbled slightly as he rushed towards the stage, afterwards he put the wine bottle on his hand on top of the stage.

　　Afterwards, the man took out his wallet and put 5 hundred dollar Yuan bills beside the wine bottle, hesitated for a bit, then added 3 more.
