"Okay, bro, you can go back, I'm going to take a bus at the North Railway Station."

Chang Le said to Tang Jue beside him, until now Tang Jue didn't understand what Chang Le asked him to come here today, is it just to sit outside and drink a bottle of soda with him in the cold winter?
"I'll go with you, and I'll go back when you get in."

"Forget it, your home is over there at Shencheng Station, I'm going to take a train at Shencheng North Station, it's not on my way."

"Then you know this, and you still haven't bought the ticket for the train departing from Shencheng Station."

"hey-hey."

The two walked out of the Baita Night Market while chatting. The Baita Night Market, which was bustling at night, seemed empty and lonely at this moment.

"Brother Zhu, go back. I'll take the bus to the North Station, and I will stop at the gate of the North Station."

Chang Le waved at Tang Ju, and then left with the black backpack on his back.

Tang Ju put his hands into the pockets of his down jacket, watched Chang Le gradually go away, and suddenly yelled loudly.

"Hey!"

Chang Le turned around after hearing the sound, still with a bright smile on his face.

"What's the matter, bro?"

"Be careful, run away immediately if the situation is wrong, and contact me if you are unresolved!"

"understood!"

Chang Le responded, Tang Ju wanted to say something else, at this moment, a passing taxi gradually slowed down in front of him.

The uncle driver rolled down the window and looked very attentive with a smile.

"Where are you going, boy?"

Tang Ju took another look at Chang Le, waved to him, and then opened the door to get in the car.

Chang Le watched Tang Ju's taxi leave with a gentle smile on his face, and he walked towards the bus stop when the taxi disappeared from his sight.

Chang Le stood on the side of the road, his body straightened, and then he took out the Bluetooth headset from his pocket.

This Bluetooth headset was a birthday gift given to him by Tang Ju, and he used it to listen to music occasionally when he was free.

Not knowing what song to play despite having bluetooth headphones on.

When Chang Le was looking for a suitable song in the music player software, the bus also stopped in front of him at this time.

He stepped into the bus, found a vacant seat near the front and sat down, and the bus drove all the way to Shencheng North Station.

That being the case, just listen to "All the Way North".

There is a smile on the corner of Chang Le's mouth, and he is determined to win this trip to Xiaolian.

When the bus stopped at the next stop, a woman who appeared to be over [-] years old came up.

She was holding a vegetable basket in her hand, from which green scallions playfully protruded.

She looked very well dressed, and her gold bracelets and rings were equally striking.

She looked a little annoyed when she glanced left and right to see that there were no empty seats.

Chang Le glanced at her vegetable basket, which contained tomatoes, potatoes, green onions and some meat.

She was standing in front of Chang Le, the bus was moving forward, and occasionally the car shook, she held on to the handrail with one hand, but she was reluctant to put down the vegetable basket in her hand with the other hand.

"Auntie, please sit here with me."

Chang Le got up to give up his seat, the woman glanced at Chang Le, she was not polite, and sat down directly.

On the other side, Tang Ju went home in a taxi, thinking about meeting Chang Le today all the way.

There is nothing wrong with the whole process, everything seems very natural.

But it was this naturalness that made Tang Ju frowned.

Recently, he couldn't understand what Chang Le was thinking.

This is something that rarely happens. It is difficult for Chang Le to hide things in front of Tang Jue, including when Chang Le had a crush before, Tang Jue found out easily.

Tang Ju was sitting in the back seat of the taxi. He leaned back, feeling tight in his chest.

Obviously the air outside is very fresh.

In the cold winter.

Meet briefly.

Collision between two glass bottles of soda.

I have been to Baita Night Market countless times.

Thoughts were intertwined, and Tang Ju couldn't figure out what the connection was.

He has done things like this with Chang Le too many times.

When Tang Ju returned home, there was no one at home.

Qin Zheng will come over at dinner time, and she is probably still watching romance comics at her own home.

It was still early for dinner, Tang Ju leaned lazily on the sofa, and continued to read the comics brought back from Qin Zheng's house.

But for some reason, the romance comics that he was very interested in before seemed to suddenly lose his interest.

Tang Ju flipped through the manga page by page, but his mind was completely out of the manga in his hand.

The love experience between the male and female protagonists in the comics is really exciting, but Tang Ju can't help but start to recall the scene where he and Chang Le got along in the Baita Night Market in the past.

Tang Ju believed that Chang Le would not call himself to Baita Night Market for no reason, and that when the weather got colder, Chang Le would not go there to deliver goods.

Many pictures appeared in front of Tang Ju's eyes, and he tried to find out the real intention of Chang Le asking him to go to Baita Night Market.

But the more he thought about it, the more powerless he seemed to be looking for a needle in a haystack.

The long-lost irritability and anxiety lingered in Tang Ju's heart. He shook his head slightly, trying to get the negative emotions out of his mind, and tried to concentrate on the comics in front of him.

While reading comics, Tang Ju glanced at the panda bamboo clock hanging on the wall. It was past three o'clock in the afternoon.

Chang Le should have been on the high-speed train from Shencheng to Xiaolian by this time.

Fortunately, the full set of comics that Tang Ju brought from Qin Zheng's house has a total of twelve volumes, and it is indeed not so easy to read them all in a while.

As the time passed bit by bit, Tang Jue also relaxed and devoted himself to the manga in his hand.

Until a certain moment, the cell phone on the coffee table in front of him rang.

The name on the caller ID was Chang Le. Tang Ju glanced at the panda bamboo clock on the wall again. It was already [-]:[-] in the afternoon.

He should have called to report his safety when he arrived at Xiaolian...

Thinking of this, Tang Ju pressed his finger on the connect button.

"How is it? Are you in Xiaolian? Are you in the hotel?"

Tang Ju was the first to ask, but the voice on the other end of the phone was not Chang Le's.

"Hello, our side is Shencheng Second Hospital, are you a family member of the owner of this phone?"

The strange woman's voice on the other end of the phone made Tang Ju's heart feel cold.

"Well, I am."

"The No. 307 bus he was on had an accident at the Pingle Bridge. It is said that the female passenger and the driver had a disagreement and had to stop. During the fight for the steering wheel, the bus crashed into the guardrail and fell into the Pingle River. Now he is at our hospital."

Tang Ju's throat rolled, his mind went blank, and he couldn't speak for a while.

But he quickly recovered.

"It's winter now, and the Pingle River should be frozen. At least it can play a buffer role. Is everyone okay?"

"At present, it should be out of danger, and it is still under observation. Anyway, come here quickly."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Ju ran towards the entrance in his slippers, opened the door and rushed out.

The real-time temperature was minus [-] degrees, but Tang Ju didn't have the heart to keep out the cold.

Wearing only a sweater and slippers on his feet, he waved desperately on the street, and soon stopped a taxi.

"Master, go to the Second Hospital, please hurry up."

"What's the matter, boy, you're in such a hurry, don't you wear a down jacket?"

"Please hurry up, please."

Tang Ju's voice was very low, he clenched his fists tightly and his heart was in a mess.

The voice of the nurse who called just now kept echoing in Tang Ju's mind. He hated himself for not stopping Chang Le from participating in that shit triathlon.

Qin Zheng called halfway, and Tang Ju weakly clicked through.

"Tang Cuo, I'm at your house, why aren't you home?"

"Chang Le has an accident. I'm in the Second Hospital, and I'm on my way there."

"how come……"

Qin Zheng's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone. Tang Ju didn't say anything, and he couldn't say anything, so he chose to hang up the phone.

The night gradually fell, and the darkness spread until it enveloped the entire Shencheng.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of Shencheng No. [-] Hospital, Tang Ju ran out of the taxi like crazy, rushed into the hospital lobby, and ran straight to the consultation desk.

"Where is the person who had the accident at Pingle Bridge?"

Tang Jue's voice was anxious, but luckily the staff at the guidance desk were well prepared. After pointing out the direction to Tang Jue, Tang Jue ran all the way to the fourth floor along the walking ladder.

There were a lot of people in the corridor, and Tang Ju didn’t know which ward Chang Le was in, so he could only push through the crowd and keep walking forward, while walking through the long glass on the door to identify whether the person lying on the bed inside was Chang Le.

This is the longest corridor Tang Ju has walked through in his life, and the conversations of the people around him keep coming into his ears.

Because today is the end of the year, and New Year's Day is a holiday, the hospital is caught off guard when such an accident occurs suddenly, and can only deal with all the injured immediately.

Tang Ju finally came to the last ward at the end of the corridor. Before he had time to identify whether the person lying inside was Chang Le, he saw two familiar figures outside the ward.

One male and one female, one black and one white.

Tang Ju stopped walking, his eyes widened, and he was at a loss.

"Why are you here..."

Black and white impermanence didn't speak, just quietly watching Tang Ju who suddenly appeared.

"Is the person lying inside Chang Le..."

Bai Wuchang nodded slightly, with a little sympathy in his eyes.

"Didn't it mean that he was out of danger..."

Tang Ju muttered to himself, unable to believe this result.

"He only has the last 32 minutes left, you go and meet him."

Bai Wuchang's tone was full of distress. Obviously, she had known for a long time that Tang Cuo and Chang Le had a deep friendship.

"I'm just kidding... my mother is the little Hades, how could he die, it's enough to add Yangshou to him, add it hard, and add it to his long life!"

Tang Ju grabbed Hei Wuchang's arm, and his tone seemed very anxious. In this case, his calm and thinking mind was useless at all.

"Go and see him, while he's still alive."

Hei Wuchang's voice was very calm, Tang Ju gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but he finally understood that things like Yangshou cannot be changed casually.

Tang Ju let go of Hei Wuchang's arm, turned around and opened the door and walked into the ward.

Chang Le was lying in the ward, wearing a ventilator and closing his eyes, as if he was asleep.

Tang Ju stood by the bed, looking at Chang Le lying on the bed, he felt bitter in his heart.

A few hours ago he was still drinking soda with Chang Le...

He's going to die in half an hour?
What are you kidding...

On the cabinet next to it were some items in Changle's pocket, which should have been taken out by the nurse looking for a mobile phone to contact her family.

It's a good thing this guy's phone doesn't have a lock screen password, or else he probably wouldn't know it even if he died...

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let you go..."

Tang Ju's voice was very low, full of regret.

He looked at Chang Le's personal belongings on the cabinet, including Chang Le's mobile phone, key chain, a pack of tissues and the leaflet for the triathlon competition.

"For such a bad game, what are you thinking, do you have to go..."

Tang Ju murmured, he reached out to pick up the flyer, and after sweeping his eyes slightly, his lips and palms began to tremble slightly.

His eyes fell on the bottom of the flyer. In the prize area, apart from the Rolex watch, alien computer and Apple mobile phone that Chang Le told him, the prizes for the fourth to tenth prizes were out-of-print red bicycles of a certain brand.

It's not an expensive and high-end mountain bike, it's just a few hundred yuan bicycle.

To be precise, the original price should be 500 yuan.

Tang Ju suddenly understood why Chang Le insisted on participating in Xiao Lian's triathlon.

He held the leaflet in his hand, and his eyes couldn't help turning red.

He also understood why Chang Le asked him to meet him for the last time before leaving at Baita Night Market.

While his thoughts were surging, Tang Ju's memories were frozen in that year.

When Tang Yu was in the fifth grade of elementary school, Tang Yu bought a new bicycle for Tang Ju. At that time, he went to visit Chang Le to play, and the two of them were going to Baita Night Market by bicycle.

It just so happened that Chang Le's bicycle had a flat tire, so he rode an ordinary women's bicycle borrowed from the next-door neighbor.

When he arrived at the entrance of Baita Night Market, Tang Ju wanted to go to the bathroom, so he put his bicycle on the spot and quickly ran to the public bathroom.

At the same time, Chang Le was attracted by the smell of grilled sausages sold in Baita Night Market, so he ran over to line up to buy grilled sausages.

When Chang Le came back with two grilled sausages, Tang Ju's new bicycle had disappeared.

When Tang Ju came back, he saw Chang Le standing where he was, weeping.

He took a sausage from Changle's hand and ate it, not taking the loss of his newly bought bicycle to heart.

"It's okay, the old ones don't go, and the new ones don't come."

This is what Tang Ju said when he comforted Chang Le, even though Tang Yu just bought him the new bicycle less than a week ago.

Tang Ju knew that it was his fault, because he was in a hurry to go to the bathroom, and because Chang Le was lucky enough not to lock the bicycle, which led to this result.

Later, Chang Lefei wanted to take Tang Cuo to the police station to report the case, but unfortunately, nothing came of it in the end, and there was no reply.

Tang Yu didn't blame Tang Ju for being careless after knowing it, but planned to buy him another bicycle, but Tang Ju refused.

Because Tang Ju felt that he didn’t have to worry about losing his bicycle when he rode a shared bicycle, so he has been riding a shared bicycle since then.

Tang Ju didn't take this little thing to heart at all. He never thought that Chang Le would remember this little thing for seven years.

This guy must have seen the out-of-print bicycle on the promotional leaflet and wanted to participate in the competition. Obviously, the bicycle manufacturer has closed down, and these bicycles used as prizes may have been left by the factory at that time .

"You, you are so stupid..."

The 17-year-old Tang Ju looked at Chang Le, who was lying on the hospital bed and was the same age as him. He didn't know what expression he should put on at this time.

Tang Ju stretched out his hand to hold Chang Le's palm, and it felt cold to the touch, as if life was slowly passing away in his body.

Chang Le's expression was very peaceful.

Even when he was about to die, he still remembered his brother Zhu and the bicycle that belonged to him that he had lost.
