Going back to being twenty, taking her heartbroken son to a massage parlor.

Su Mu turned the empty bottle upside down.

It swayed.

His imposing and audacious demeanor stunned the other three.

Old Fourth Brother Tree slapped his thigh.

"good!"

"That's an inspiring statement, boss!"

"We should have thought of that a long time ago!"

"Let's do it!"

Zhang Chi and Liao Tianci were also ignited by this heroic spirit.

man.

It's just about falling down and getting back up.

"Dry!"

The three men simultaneously tilted their heads back, raised the bottles, and poured the liquor into their mouths.

Tons tons tons tons tons.

Glug glug.

Two seconds later.

puff.

Liao Tianci's left cheek couldn't hold back any longer, and a white jet of water shot out.

It all spilled onto the fruit plate on the coffee table.

puff.

Zhang Chi puffed out his right cheek, and beer gushed out through his teeth.

He sprayed the tree guy on the other side all over.

Puff puff.

Brother Tree was the most exaggerated, spraying water from both sides in a spiral pattern, with two jets of water spraying alternately.

He spun around halfway in place, like a runaway water truck.

what.

oops.

Zhu Sha, Bi Luo, and Zi Han were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

My exquisite makeup was almost ruined by this beer rain.

The three girls screamed and covered their heads, hiding in the corner of the sofa.

I was afraid that the secondhand beer would splash on me.

Su Mu was quick-witted and agile.

He grabbed a transparent umbrella that was being used for decoration.

It opened up with a whoosh.

He stood in front of himself.

Beer foam splattered onto the umbrella, dripping down the plastic sheeting.

Su Mu looked at the three lively characters through the umbrella.

I couldn't hold it in any longer.

"oops."

"Oh dear."

"Are you putting on a musical fountain show here?"

"I didn't buy this ticket."

"Can I get a refund?"

Liao Tianci's face turned bright red.

He was wiping his mouth with a tissue while coughing violently.

cough cough cough.

"This...this isn't how I used to be."

"You know me."

"This wine is too cold, it stings my throat, I couldn't stop."

Zhang Chi rubbed his stomach, panting heavily.

His face turned bright red.

"I'm getting old."

"I'm really getting old."

Brother Shu wiped the foam off his face.

He stubbornly tried to save face.

"Back in the day, we fought on horseback!"

"When I went on a business trip to Inner Mongolia, I could drink a whole table of people under the table with just these green bottles!"

"I drank those big guys so much they all crawled under the table!"

"How about we switch to a red wine bar?"

"As people get older, they need something more refined."

"Cultivate noble sentiments, do you understand?"

The four people looked at each other in bewilderment.

They looked at each other in their disheveled state.

A few seconds later.

Laugh out loud.

Laughter echoed in the living room; some were even laughing so hard they almost cried.

The fountain completely dispelled the previous somber atmosphere.

Liao Tianci hurriedly tidied up the coffee table.

Brother Shu rummaged through the cabinet and found a decanter and a bottle of red wine.

The wine glasses clinked together.

It makes a crisp sound.

Su Mu held his cup, his gaze falling on the third brother, Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi was the most talkative person in this group.

Making jokes and livening up the atmosphere has always been one of his specialties.

Tonight, however, there was unusual silence.

Apart from shouting a few slogans just now.

He spent most of his time drinking with his head down.

Su Mu walked over with his wine glass in his hand.

He sat down next to Zhang Chi.

"Third brother."

"For so many years, I've always owed you an apology."

"sorry."

"I shouldn't have sold the internet cafe in the first place."

These words were spoken.

The air in the living room became a little quieter.

Even Brother Shu, who was pouring wine, stopped what he was doing.

Liao Tianci and Brother Shu exchanged a glance and remained silent.

That was the culmination of four people's hard work.

My university days.

The guys chipped in and rented out an internet cafe near the university town.

It was named Muchi Internet Cafe.

Internet cafes were booming back then.

Several people did everything themselves, staying up all night to fix computers, eating instant noodles and sausages.

He earned his first pot of gold.

Su Mu's down payment for the house came from this.

That was the stronghold of their youth.

It's also a secret base for brothers to get together.

five years ago.

Jiang Yiyao insisted on getting a Mercedes.

They make a ruckus at home every day.

"All the other girls have luxury cars, but I don't!"

"Your lousy internet cafe isn't making much money anymore, what's the point of keeping it?"

"Sell the shares right now! Buy me a car!"

Su Mu was completely bewitched at that time.

They always hoped that buying a nice car would enhance their relationship.

This can help Jiang Yiyao lose her temper less.

Despite his brothers' objections, he forcefully withdrew his shares.

Because of this, Zhang Chi and he had a big argument.

She pointed her finger at him and scolded him for being spineless, being led by the nose by a woman.

The results of it.

The Mercedes has been bought.

Jiang Yiyao still disliked it.

His temper is getting worse and his demands are increasing.

Today I complain that he lacks ambition, tomorrow I complain that he's not romantic enough.

Su Mu then had a sudden realization.

Men give up their hobbies and dreams for women.

It won't even earn you a second glance.

They will only lose their own soul.

A man without a soul is nothing but a fart in a woman's eyes.

Zhang Chi kept his head down.

Staring at the scarlet liquid in his hand.

"You did the right thing."

"Who goes to internet cafes anymore?"

"Everyone's playing mobile games and console games."

"Muchi Internet Cafe should be sold."

Su Mu shook his head.

"Muchi Internet Cafe should not have been sold."

"That's our root."

Zhang Chi stood up.

He walked to the balcony, put his hands in his pockets, and turned his back to Su Mu.

It's obvious they don't want to take this on.

This thorn has been stuck in my heart for five years.

To buy a car for his wife and to turn his brothers' dreams into reality.

Who would feel good about that?

Su Mu watched Zhang Chi's retreating figure.

He sighed.

He put down his wine glass.

I walked up to the TV cabinet.

Silently, I picked up a microphone.

Since it doesn't make sense.

Then sing!

Su Mu pressed a button on the remote control.

The ambient lighting in the living room turned a dim purple.

The familiar intro melody flowed from the speakers.

Zhang Chi turned and raised his head.

Su Mu held the microphone.

"Silence does not mean I am wrong."

"Breaking up is not the only outcome."

"I just haven't figured out how to tell you yet."

The singing was low and somber.

Su Mu finished singing this part.

Pause.

He looked at Zhang Chi.

Waiting for the chorus.

Ten seconds passed.

Zhang Chi stood motionless on the balcony.

Su Mu lowered his eyes.

It seems I still can't get over this hurdle.

Just then.

With a bang.

Zhang Chi pulled another microphone out from under the coffee table.

Her eyes were red.

"Since you didn't do anything wrong!"

"Why are you still avoiding me!"

"I'm this sad every day!"

"What did I do wrong?!"

Wow, they sang together!

The second brother, Liao Tianci, and the fourth brother, Shu Ge, looked at each other in bewilderment.

Holy crap.

They've made up already?!

Sometimes, the feuds between men are just that simple and brutal.

A song.

A drinking session.

An apology.

Five years of unresolved issues vanished like smoke in a chorus.

.........

Two minutes later.

Su Mu, Zhang Chi, Liao Tianci, and Shu Ge.

Four middle-aged men with their arms around each other's shoulders.

They squeezed the three top-tier technicians—Zhu Sha, Bi Luo, and Zi Han—who had been hired at great expense, to the very edge of the sofa.

Three girls dressed in Hanfu huddled in a corner, shivering.

His face was full of resentment.

This money is so easy to make.

They didn't even give me a chance to be a backup dancer.

Four men, each holding a glass of red wine.

He swayed his head as the subtitles on the screen played.

"Friends for life!"

Those days are gone!

"In short!"

"lifetime!"

"A lifetime of love!"

"A glass of wine!"

A hoarse voice echoed in the living room.

Completely out of tune.

But nobody cares.

Su Mu finished the glass of red wine.

Looking at the three brothers beside me, arms around each other's shoulders.

My eyes feel hot.

In the adult world.

Friends say to each other, "Let's get together again when we have time."

The next time we meet is often five or ten years later.

We may never see each other again in this lifetime.

Everyone has their own family and their own trivial matters.

Su Mu was very fortunate.

After going around in circles.

Stumbling and staggering.

After he lost everything.

I turned around.

These guys are still standing there.

I can also sing this old song off-key with him.

"Come!"

Su Mu raised the empty cup.

"Fill it up!"

"We're not leaving until we're drunk!"

Brother Shu came over, holding a bottle of liquor.

"Fill it up! Fill it up!"

"After we finish this bottle, let's open a bottle of Lafite!"

"Anyway, the boss is a bachelor now, so he doesn't have to worry about his wife's feelings!"

Liao Tianci slapped Brother Shu on the back of the head.

"You talk too much!"

"Quickly pour the drinks! Get the girls moving too!!"

The living room was in complete chaos.

Laughter and cheerful voices pierced through the security door.

Wandering in the stairwell.

Just then.

Ding.

The elevator stopped on this floor.

The sound of high heels clicking on the tiles was crisp and rhythmic.

Step by step.

They were approaching the door of room 805.
