The Midnight Owl

“I live in the North Fourth Ring Road. We need to know that we are so close. Contact us early.” Qian Ai drank Kang Jinxin’s tea, looked at Xu Wang’s living room, and then Wu Sheng, “old classmates should have met again” Questions, express their emotions, very busy.

Wu Sheng did not have this leisure.

From the first time I bought a flight ticket, I returned to Beijing in the afternoon, and then went into the bedroom when Xu Wang entered the door. His heart was undecided, and information exploded in his head. Various ideas emerged endlessly. Infinite loops, memory elimination, high-dimensional space, parallel space, exotic wormholes, time and space jumps, consciousness dissociation, rebirth phantoms … it can be a book of “Thousands of Possibilities of Xu Wangtan”.

Seeing Wu Sheng staring at the closed bedroom door, he didn’t mean to chat at all. Qian Ai stopped talking and the Buddha drank tea.

He wasn’t really that big-hearted. Xu Wang once entered the “Owl”, so unbelievable, and may even involve their future destiny, he was also anxious and wanted to know the inside immediately.

But Xu Wang shut himself into the bedroom when he came back. No matter how anxious they were, they had to wait.

Waiting is the most testing person. If you do n’t say anything, distract your attention, it will be like a second.

“My original intern teahouse is right next to it.” Qian Ai, who was unprepared, looked at the poor, Kang Jinxin took the initiative to take the responsibility of “talking with him”, “but the dormitory is closer to Shengge Company, the two buildings are back to back, So as soon as we entered the ‘Owl’, we looked up and met. “

Finally, there was a person who could speak, and Qian Ai immediately put down the teacup: “It’s useless to meet,” he had a deep understanding, “The first day was dazed.”

“No,” Kuang Jinxin shook his head decisively, “Sen brother is very calm, he let me not panic, saying that it may be a dream, or maybe a mysterious magnetic field interferes with the brain and brings our consciousness to a new space. In short, first collect data.”

Qian Ai swallowed hard, glanced at the back of his military division, and then looked back at Jin Xin: “And what?”

“Then we started to study the owl pattern,” Kang Jinxin said. “Click on the roster and find that there are two partners in the team. Brother Sheng was very happy.”

“… Shouldn’t you be running right away at that time!” Qian Ai couldn’t hear it anymore and wanted to put a warning bell on Kang Jinxin. “Which normal person is involved? The first reaction is to discuss dreams and consciousness !! ! “

“Brother Sheng said that the collapse will not solve the problem.” Kang Jinxin still remembers that when Wu Sheng said this, the light of reason calmed in his eyes. At that moment, all the magic and treachery were dust.

Qian Ai: “…”

Sighing weakly, he straightened Jin Xin’s shoulders, nose to nose, eyes to eyes, bitter mouth: “Fear is a human instinct. If a person maintains a high degree of calmness at all times, it may be a radiance of reason, or it may be antisocial. Personality. So for safety, next time you encounter this situation, run first, keep a safe distance, and then observe, understand? “

Kuang Jinxin thought hard, digesting and absorbing very hard.

When Qian Ai saw it, he simply pulled a model and gave a targeted explanation: “Chi Yingxue.”

“Huh?” Kuang Jinxin was stunned, not expecting Qian Ai to mention this person.

Qian Ai: “We met him twice, once overturned the ship and crashed into the sea, and once dropped the ferris wheel. It was almost the same as death. Have you ever seen him afraid?”

Kuang Xin slowly shook his head.

In the endless sea, when Chi Yingxue dropped his mast, he waved towards the telescope. This time, he also told his teammates about the Ferris wheel. Chi Yingxue was very calm at the time. Instead of sending him home, it was more like suicide.

“So, this kind of person who doesn’t know fear is the most terrible,” Qian Ai didn’t know where he insisted. He had to give safety education to Kang Jinxin. The education was not in place and not profound. “I will meet again next time. Unless that person, like Wu Sheng, radiates the light of wisdom all over his body and can get a perfect score at a glance, otherwise, keep a safe distance and hear? “

Kuang Jinxin: “…”

Qian Ai: “Is there any problem?”

Kuang Jinxin: “Why does he want to commit suicide?”

Qian Ai: “The example is to deepen the lesson, not to stimulate your exploration spirit …”

Kuang Jinxin: “But I am really curious!”

Qian Ai: “Curious is the devil.”

Kuang Jinxin: “Aren’t” impulse is the devil “…”

Qian Ai: “Double ghosts shoot the door.”

Kuang Jinxin: “…”

…

Fifteen minutes ago, the bedroom.

As soon as Xu Wang came in, he shut the door tightly. The evidence is of course to be shown to teammates, but where the evidence is hidden, the amount of information is too large to be disclosed.

After confirming that the bedroom door was locked, he opened the closet and reached for the deepest part for a long time to find a box.

It was a rectangular biscuit tin box, about the size of A4 paper, about three inches thick. On the colorful lid, a long string of flowers in English, like a jumping note.

Xu Wang carefully opened the box, with a cautious look, like the most precious treasure hidden in it.

Of course there is no baby.

But it is not a cookie, otherwise, according to the code printed on the box, it is ten years old.

Inside the box is a book, a few letters, and a keychain.

The book is a full English version of “Walden Lake”, which Wu Sheng gave him as a graduation gift, and it was also the only thing they had been with for three years.

Open the title page, you can see the class leader’s message-I hope you can read this book.

The whole book, just like this one line of Chinese characters, is often opened in the middle of the night, Xu Wang wants to pull these words one by one, and then take the time machine to return to the day of the separation, throwing Wu Sheng’s face.

Unfortunately, there is no time machine.

Yes, he was reluctant.

There were five letters in total, all of which were sent by Wu Sheng when he went abroad. Obviously it is the age of science and technology, and it is possible to seamlessly cross the hemisphere by sending a message. Wu Sheng asked him his address online, and then sent him a post by international express delivery, which is unreasonable.

Well, when he received the letter, he was still a little … er, there were so many … cough, so excited that the dormitory jumped, almost scaring the university roommate.

As a result, Wu Sheng’s letter asked him very kindly and friendly about his current situation, leaving no room for imagination. He had no choice but to write a “return letter from his best friend”.

It was so salty and nonchalant to exchange five back and forth. After he had adapted to “White Moonlight” and became a “pen pal”, Wu Sheng did not reply.

At first he thought it was a courier mail lost, and he tentatively poked the other party online, but the other party did not respond, and then over time, this reason no longer holds. Because no matter if the other party ’s letter is lost, or if their reply letter is lost, in short, if the other party looks forward to responding, then you should ask if you have n’t received your reply.

So to a conclusion, Wu Sheng did not want to contact him.

It reminds people of other people’s thoughts, and then breaks it. It is harder to accept than not contacting after graduation.

The slight heat in the eyes made Xu Wang startled, and instantly recovered.

He is now a close friend, and he can smile a little, absolutely control the field, and has gone from bronze to king, and suddenly miss the ghost of youth!

Squeezing his face hard, Xu Wang trained very seriously: “You are now twenty-nine, not nineteen. You have passed the flowering season and the rainy season. Can you feel a little bit in your heart?”

After he finished training himself, Captain Xu was in a good mood. Then he looked down and saw the keychain in the gap again.

The keychain of a three-flowered cat. The cat is a small milk cat with a small white face and black and orange two-color bangs on the head. They curl up in a ball and sleep soundly like a donut.

For so many years, he has always thought that this keychain is Wu Sheng. He had not graduated at that time, and he did not know that in the near future, he would receive the original English-language book full of hatred and went to college. Too.

Remembering a person for three years, he doesn’t want the wind to cross the surface, the ripples will be scattered, and no traces will be left.

Well now, he saved the “ripple” for ten years. It wasn’t Wu Sheng’s peach blossom wind at all, but another blast of wind.

The kitten on the keychain is still asleep, but if it opens its eyes, Xu Wang believes that it should be a pair of blue-green hetero pupils. Blue is like sky, like ocean, green like jade, like forest …

…

Ten years ago.

Early morning sunlight shines through the window on the corridor of the third year of a school, brightens the portrait of the scientist on the corridor wall, and also brightens the childish face in the classroom.

The third grade and seventh grade are science classes. The class is lively and the grades are stable. Most of the time, the teachers are still more at ease.

At this moment, Zheng Yi’s “prosperous” early self-study scene.

There are those who do problems, those who recite words, and those who work with the same table to study and solve ideas. Of course, there are others who relax while the teacher is away and spread fresh gossip—

“Xu Wang is back for class today?”

“I heard it in person. Just sent homework to the office, and Lao Zhang called his dad.”

“Lao Zhang is too abnormal!”

“Alas, the rate of higher education is higher than the sky.”

“Mom is gone, who still wants to take the college entrance examination.”

“No, I heard Lao Zhang talking on the phone. It seemed that Xu Wang’s dad wanted Xu Wang to come back. Lao Zhang also persuaded him to say why he was so serious that he wouldn’t be able to study when he came back. … “

“Hiss—”

“Ok?”

“What?”

“what’s the situation?”

“Tell you something, keep it secret.”

“Hurry up.”

“Xu Wang’s parents have left early.”

“real or fake?”

“I was in a junior middle school class with him, and the whole class knew at that time that his dad was married to Xiaosan’er, and he and his mom weren’t needed … hey? What kind of stuff?”

The broke male student turned his head behind his head and met the monitor’s eyes.

“Help me pick up the rubber.” Mr. Wu looked innocent.

The male student broke the news: “How hard are you to put the eraser on?”

“It’s not wiped off,” Mr. Wu confessed honestly, “aimed at throwing.”

The male student broke the news and forgot to be angry, and asked silly: “What are you doing throwing me?”

Squad leader Wu said nothing, glancing at the monitor diagonally above.

Every classroom has such a monitor, monitor, no, supervise the learning atmosphere of the students.

But now, I have studied myself early, the monitor has lit a small red dot, and it has turned up. It is not a little bit ahead of time. It is estimated to be a 50-day countdown to celebrate this great day of college entrance examination.

It was reported that the male student gave the monitor a “thankful reminder” look, stooped down and touched the gray on the ground before he picked up the rubber and returned it to the good monitor in China.

The classroom was quiet again.

Wu Sheng continued to work on the question, but as soon as he wrote a stroke, the mechanical pencil broke.

He pressed a new one, and continued, before finishing a formula, he broke it again.

The mechanical pencil seems to feel the user’s absent mind, so as to protest.

Wu Sheng thought that Xu Wang could only be seen tomorrow.
