That evening we drank too much. Hardly able to stand, I staggered to the restroom, where I clung to the basin like a beached fish struggling for its last gasp of water. The attendant put a hot towel on my neck and massaged my shoulders. Suddenly I remembered the days when I’d lie on the sofa and let Zhao Yue pull my ears.

Back at the table I defiantly downed another bottle, then stood up and declared that I wanted to go and see Zhao Yue. Bighead Wang pushed me down into the chair. He said: ‘Fuck you, have a little sense, OK.’

My lips trembled and the alcohol rushed to my head again. I felt humiliated. Li Liang was just as drunk as I was. He sat there with a stupid smile on his face, but then seeing the expression on mine he laughed so much that he fell to the floor. His alluring companion made an effort to help him up, but he pushed her away.

‘Go, go with my older brother,’ he said. ‘He’s in your care.’

The girl looked hurt and Li Liang grinned. Then he came out with something even more poisonous.

‘Don’t play the innocent. If I gave you 10,000, are you saying you wouldn’t do it?’

The music that night at Zero Point was loud, the lights blinding. On the second floor, one man was crying — Chen Zhong. Another laughed — his rival in love, his friend. Outside, Chengdu was like a crematorium: once in a while there were flickers of starlight, the phosphorescence of those smiling and crying people slowly moving towards the vault of death, like ants on their way to the grave.
