Volume 1: Dragon in the River and Lake Chapter 11: The Price of Love

  "Didn't you hear me telling you to get lost? Keep moving forward, or I'll beat you to death!" BMW Brother swung the steel pipe in his hand, half a meter long, showing off his ferocity.

  Ye Shaofeng ignored the whip and also ignored Bao Ma Ge's roar, continuing to walk towards Yao Xueqi. With each step, it seemed as if he was carrying a heavy load of thoughts. The past drips and drops reappeared in his mind one by one during the walking process.

  First love is something that can be unforgettable for a lifetime, and as for Ye Shaofeng, this first love has never been cut off.

  That year, he quietly dropped out of school and left the city to join the army without a word, not even saying goodbye to Yao Xueqi.

  Today, the couple who once vowed to never change met again in the old place. This kind of interdependent emotion is something that no one can stop.

  "Maple brother... I..." Yao Xueqi trailed off, wiping away tears from the corner of her eyes.

  At this time, BMW brother had already rushed up with a baton, the head of the baton pointing at Ye Shaofeng's forehead, saying: "Where did you come from, wild kid, get out!"

  "Dahua, don't move... he... he is my friend..." Yao Xueqi and Bao Ma Ge said.

  "What friend? We've been together for half a year, I've met all your family and friends, how come I've never seen this kid before, nor have you ever mentioned him?" Kang Dahua said angrily, his eyes fixed on Ye Shaofeng.

  "Dahua, may I have a word with him in private for just five minutes?" Yao Xueqi said.

  "No way! If you have anything to say, say it in front of me. You're my fiancée, and you're talking to another man behind my back? What kind of thing is that?" Kang Dahua said rudely and unreasonably.

  "What? Fiancée? Xue Qi, you're getting married?" Ye Shao Feng asked in surprise.

  Yao Xueqi looked at Kang Dahua, then looked at Ye Shaofeng. The tears in the corner of her eyes had been dried by the autumn wind, and there were still faint tear marks left.

  Memories are like the tear stains at the corner of one's eyes, even if they can be dried by the cold winds of time, they will still leave deep marks within.

  "Maple brother, I'm getting married next month. This is my fiancé, Kang Dahua. When are you coming back?" Yao Xueqi said in a low voice, with a hint of reluctance.

  Ye Shao Feng glanced at the BMW brother, this man was handsome and rich, meeting the standards of many materialistic girls, but how could Yao Xue Qi be like those ordinary girls.

  "Didn't you hear? She's my fiancée. You'd better stop bothering Qi'er from now on!" Bao Ma Ge said to Ye Shao Feng.

  Ye Shaofeng didn't want to say anything more either, and after taking a last look at Yao Xueqi, he turned around and left.

  "Maple brother... don't..." Yao Xueqi suddenly shouted from behind, but was immediately grabbed by the arm by Bao Ma Ge and said in a low voice: "Qier, hurry up and get in the car. I'm warning you, we have an agreement, if you back out of the engagement now, your mother's high medical expenses, I won't pay a single penny!"

  As soon as she heard this, Yao Xueqi stopped struggling and watched Ye Shaofeng's back view gradually fade away. The wind and sand filled the sky, and Ye Shaofeng's back view had already become blurry.

  A woman's tears burst out once again. Perhaps the emotions of the past have been submerged in the sands of time.

  Ye Shaofeng was in a bad mood, and since he didn't have anything to do anyway, he found a bar and went in for a drink. He started drinking at 3 pm and continued until 8 pm without stopping, downing glass after glass of strong vodka.

  The bar girl looked at Ye Shaofeng drinking bitter wine and said with some concern, "Sir, you've been drinking since this afternoon till now, stop drinking..."

  "What... are you afraid... that I won't be able to pay? I have plenty of money..." As he spoke, Ye Shaofeng took out his bank card and continued to stammer: "Transfer... transfer... the boss should have already transferred the money to me... transfer..."

  Nothing can make Ye Shaofeng happy now, except thinking that Chang Fuguo had deposited 100,000 yuan in cash into his salary card, which would make him smile with a smirk. The rest is just an heart-wrenching pain.

  After eight years of military service abroad, amidst the flames of war and bloodshed, even after being captured by terrorists and subjected to brutal torture, this iron-blooded man had never shed a single tear. But now, for Yao Xueqi, Ye Shaofeng cried, and under the influence of alcohol, his tears fell in large drops, and he sobbed uncontrollably, as if his heart was torn apart.

  Deafening music fills this bar, bars of this type are always so chaotic, the crowd is in an uproar, and those dazzling, eye-piercing colored lights are flashing everywhere.

  Ye Shaofeng looked at the dance floor, with people rocking to the music, and felt like he had entered the underworld. He thought he was in the underworld, swaying with the ghosts and goblins here, going crazy together.

  Ye Shao Feng abruptly picked up a bottle of "Icelandic Green Tea", a liquor as strong as vodka. He walked into the dance floor, rubbing shoulders with these crazy people, twisting and shaking his body, while pouring large mouthfuls of liquor into his mouth, as if this could make him forget the pain of his lost love.

  Just as Ye Shao Feng was about to forget himself in his crazy swinging, suddenly, the deafening disco music came to an end.

  On the performing stage, a sexy and charming girl held a microphone hanging from the ceiling and shouted passionately: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Midnight Crazy Bar, welcome everyone! Next, please welcome our popular singer, the sexy AngeBaby, to bring us a soothing old song 'The Price of Love', and also invite everyone to relax and appreciate with the melody, The Price of Love!"

  Among the cheers and applause of the crowd, a woman wearing a feather eye mask and a sexy fiery dress walked onto the stage.

  Ultra-short mini skirt, sexy jade legs make the men under the stage crazy. A pair of high-heeled sandals reveal the singer's delicate feet and toes. The top is a low-cut suspender shirt, with a large chest almost jumping out of the suspenders. On her back, she wears a prop similar to angel wings, looking sexy and playful, yet elegant and restrained.

  Do you still remember the dreams of your youth, like a flower that never withers?

  Accompany me through wind and rain, see the impermanence of worldly affairs, see the vicissitudes of life.

  The price paid for love is forever unforgettable.

  All the sincere and foolish words are forever in my heart, even though he is no longer here.

  Come on, come on, people have to learn to grow up by themselves...

  Come on, come on, life is inevitably going through pain and struggle...

  Go ahead, go ahead, find a home for your own heart...

  Also heartbroken and tearful, also disheartened and shattered, this is the price of love.

  Maybe I still think of him from time to time, and sometimes can't help but miss him.

  Treat him as an old friend, it also makes me heartache and miss him.

  There's no more spark in my heart, let bygones be gone with the wind.

  All the sincere and foolish words are still in my heart, even though he is no longer here...
