The Midnight Owl

Chapter 7 - perturbed



The owl is pronounced the same as “Xiao”. There is only one word “Owl” in the dictionary. There are many kinds of birds with large heads and short beaks, and owls are one type.

After confirming the online dictionary, the true colors of the “clucking” sounds surfaced at midnight.

That’s the owl’s cry, and it’s also the urgency to open the “Magic Moment”.

The night is gone, the east is white, and life is always on track.

Sun Jiang is a driving school coach. Today, there are students attending classes, and the first one gets up to leave; Kang Jinxin is a senior this year, majoring in tea, home in the southwest, and the university in Jiangnan. He chose a tea house in Beijing as an internship. According to the statement, the owner of the teahouse took good care of him, and it was no problem to ask for another day off, but in fact they now had nothing to do except wait for the night, so under the persuasion of Wu Sheng and Xu Wang, classmates also went back to the internship post.

After sending these two people away, Xu Wang naturally turned his attention to Wu Sheng and euphemistically passed the “chaser order.” From his heart, of course, he hoped to spend more time with Wu Sheng, but intellectually, he clearly understood There is no benefit in getting along with each other, so do n’t pit yourself.

Wu Sheng received his gaze, but did not intend to implement it. Instead, he stood up eagerly to try to “deepen the reunion” posture: “Don’t show me a visit?”

Without the outsiders, Xu Wang was not polite anymore, and slapped directly to die: “It’s not a museum, visit a fart.” And there are a total of one room and one hall. The living room is unobstructed. Isn’t the rest only the bedroom. Any visit to the bedroom that is not intended to be a slap is a hooligan!

“Why did you react so much? Or did you say …” Wu Sheng raised his eyebrows unwillingly, the more he refused to look, the more his eyes drifted toward the bedroom, “What’s really invisible in there?”

Xu Wang was speechless for a while, his teeth tickling at him for a long time, squeezing out a sentence: “Why have you been so annoying for ten years?”

Wu Sheng glanced at him, still the formula of the year, or the scorn of the year: “It sounds like how much progress you have made.”

The two are Mr. Wang and Mr. Jade. The difference is only one point, and they are proficient in each other ’s black history, so no one wants to win an overwhelming victory here. If one fails, it is easy to hurt the enemy. .

After realizing this coincidentally, the duo took a stand and entered a short spring.

However, after only a few words, Wu Sheng questioned the old classmate’s professional expression: “Property consultant?”

Xu Wang stubbornly stuck his neck: “Is there a problem?”

Wu Sheng leaned into the sofa, tilted Erlang’s legs, and smiled in a gentle manner with a glass of water: “Sell the house.”

Xu Wang narrowed his eyes: “Then what kind of industry are you, an old man returning to China to start a business in?”

Wu Sheng took a sip of the word: “Software development.”

Xu Wang nodded: “Code Farmer.”

Wu Sheng’s mouth was stuck in his throat.

Xu Wang also lifted Erlang’s legs, his little feet trembling happily.

It’s strange to say that it hasn’t been seen in ten years, and it’s as if you have returned to high school with a mouthful of confrontations. Xu Wang thought, maybe when he was rusty, he took care of fleeing east and west and fighting with the bear, so all the occasions of greetings and politeness were missed, and he directly entered the new chapter of “We Are Still Good Classmates”.

Three times in the day, Xu Wang looked at his mobile phone, and it was a real absenteeism if he didn’t go to the subway. He didn’t turn around. He just patted his thighs and got up to deliver guests: “Okay, where should you go back, where do I go? “

Wu Sheng looked at him in astonishment, as if this behavior was very incomprehensible: “Sun Jiang went to work because he had a wife and children to raise. When he went to work, it was an internship. Not to mention sitting down and planning a response strategy, and going to work? “

As soon as Xu Wang heard this tone of standing and talking without backache, he wanted to use the sole to pump people: “I do n’t need to support my family, but single dogs ca n’t live on the northwest wind. Popping from the owl wo n’t die, but if I were today If you do n’t go to work, you will really die. “

Yesterday, when the boss asked for leave, one hundred of them were unwilling to do so, and I will ask for it again today, unless he intends to roll away.

“Forget it, it doesn’t make sense to you rich.” Xu Wang waved his hand and quickly ended the topic. Anyway, he felt like he was selling miserably.

Wu Sheng frowned, showing innocence and grievances: “How can I become a rich man …”

Xu Wang rolled his eyes, got up and went to the bedroom to change his clothes, he didn’t want to talk to him again.

At the class meeting two years ago, he had heard from a classmate who had returned to the United States that Wu Sheng had mixed up in Silicon Valley. He did n’t graduate from college long before earning the first pot of gold in life. Minutes will match Zuckerberg’s posture.

The description of the classmates is very exaggerated, but the envy in his eyes can’t deceive people. Both envy means that he really thinks that Wu Sheng is much better than himself. And this classmate who has been stationed abroad for many years has been regarded as a very good struggle among their high school classmates. Less than thirty, they have received annual salary.

Xu Wang, who came out of the bedroom in a suit and leather shoes, found that Wu Sheng was still sitting on the sofa, and didn’t mean to move at all. Even Erlang’s legs were in the previous arc. Alright? “

Wu Sheng froze when he saw his brand new look, and stared blankly for a long time, his eyes gleaming with indistinct light.

Xu Wang was seen uncomfortable and deliberately screamed, “Hey–“

Wu Sheng blinked his eyes, finally recovered, and quickly lowered his head to get a drinking glass: “Ah, that, I greeted my partner, and I won’t go to the company today.”

Xu Wang frowned at first, but he didn’t understand why he reached for an empty cup, but later the frown became deeper and deeper, it was entirely because of his words: “You mean you want to stay with me for a day?” ! “

Wu Sheng looked up and drank for a long time, only to find that there was no water in the glass, and he pretended to put it down naturally, and then slowly raised his head. His face was already awe-inspiring: “Your life is important, then I can only be sacrificed, there must be someone Think about how to deal with the owl. “

“You can think elsewhere.”

“I have no place in Beijing.”

“fart!”

“No fart.”

“…”

In three years of high school, Xu Wang’s PK Wu Sheng’s winning rate has been stable at 50%. Now everyone is an adult. After ten years of different situations, Xu Wang sadly found that his winning rate seems to have dropped.

“Don’t allow me to turn things around,” Xu Wang stood outside the door and gave a death order to Wu Sheng who gave him off in the entrance. “If I were found …” He narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Wu Sheng nodded, unprecedented sincerity and solemnity.

Very good, there are absolutely secrets in the bedroom.

The anti-theft door is “slammed” tightly.

Xu Wang hated himself for not sighing, and dragged his head to wait for the elevator.

Wu Sheng touched his chin and looked at Yan Si’s bedroom door, filling his mind with countless hidden things.

A lot of thoughts inside and outside.

When Xu Wang squeezed into the subway, Wu Sheng, who had been struggling in front of the bedroom door for nearly half an hour, received a call from his partner. The program he was developing encountered a technical problem that several engineers couldn’t solve and could only find him The director of R & D and half of the BOSS came out.

Wu Sheng sighed at the phone, and the joy just accumulated was disturbed: “You are also the boss, can’t this small problem be solved by yourself?”

The tone over the phone was suddenly high: “Small problem? If I can solve this kind of small problem, I will not invest the same amount of money as you but only take three shares and give you seven.”

Wu Sheng stoppered.

What is the most reasonable saying, the greater the share, the greater the responsibility.

“Let Xiaomu send me my notebook and wait for me to send you the address.”

“You can’t go back to the company? What’s so important that you can’t leave?”

“No key.”

“what?”

“There is no key, so I can’t go. I can’t go in when I leave.”

The phone was silent.

For a long time, Wu Sheng heard the partner ask: “Aren’t you doing something illegal?”

The notebook was delivered quickly, but the so-called “small problem” was not easy to solve, and it was two o’clock in the afternoon until it was completely fixed. Wu Sheng passed the data back to the company, forgot the stubble in the bedroom, glanced at the time, and opened the external network non-stop …

Xu Wang was uneasy all day long, always afraid of the stuff in the bedroom, and had to comfort himself over and over again.

I do n’t know if I thought too much about it. I slept so deeply during the lunch break and even had a vague dream. In the dream, Wu Sheng stood in the middle of his bedroom, holding a box-shaped loot, like the Marvel villain holding the universe cube.

Perhaps it was the worst of these two days, and it bottomed out. A customer who was trained earlier came to sign in the afternoon. It was not Xu Wang who had received him today. As a result, the client indicated that he would patiently introduce him to the various floors and apartment types a few days ago. He also looked forward to looking forward to the future development of Xu Wang in the surrounding area. .

This set was sold for more than 20,000 achievements alone, and the amount was also recorded in the total performance, which was directly linked to the performance calculated at the end of the year and the end-of-year awards.

Riding on this single spring breeze, Xu Wang swept away his previous fatigue and worries, and was excited to go to work. When he squeezed the subway, he was extremely motivated.

When he arrived at the door, Xu Wang couldn’t explain his psychology. He was cautious from taking the key to opening the door. If he didn’t know it, he thought it was someone else’s house. He came to be a thief.

Opening the door and entering the porch, it was quiet. If it wasn’t for the neon light from the window looming in, he almost didn’t see Wu Sheng on the sofa.

The man was sitting on the sofa with his head tilted and sleeping soundly. There was a notebook that Xu Wang hadn’t seen on the coffee table. The screen flashed a little cold light. I wonder if it was because Wu Sheng had just been asleep or the computer itself cancel The screen is still bright even if there is no operation.

Crouching to the sofa, Xu Wang bent down slightly and looked at this guy for the first time since he met again.

Eyes, nose, mouth, there is almost no change, and the smile is quite as attractive as before. Merry, this is a high school Xu Wang’s unauthorized definition of Wu Sheng’s appearance, although the latter has never been in love for the entire high school for three years.

Breathing, with Xu Wang’s voyeur, spilled on Wu Sheng’s eyelashes. I wonder if it’s true or an illusion, the eyelashes flickered suddenly. Xu Wang was guilty and hurriedly straightened up to pretend to look elsewhere.

In this outfit, the screen of the notebook was scanned.

Full screen English, Xu Wang nibbled from top to bottom for a long time, and finally nibbled out the two most frequent words-MULTIVERSE, PARALLELUNIVERSES.

Xu Wang recognized a word “universe” and simply took out his mobile phone to find an online translation. The first word was “multiverse universe” and the second phrase was “parallel universe”.

Xu Wang did not have any research on these advanced questions, but after watching more science fiction movies and contacting the encounters of these two days, he probably understood what Wu Sheng was looking for.

He is really researching, not just talking casually.

When you encounter a difficult problem, you must have a hard bar. There is absolutely no word “go around” in the dictionary-Wu Sheng ten years ago had this temperament.

Returning to the bedroom lightly, Xu Wang closed the door and the first thing was not to turn on the lights and change clothes, but to turn on the lights and look at the wardrobe. It wasn’t until I confirmed that a box placed in the deepest corner of the wardrobe had no signs of being moved, and then I patted my chest at ease and exhaled slowly.

“What are you looking for?” Asked at the door, his tone rising subtly.

Xu Wang’s scalp was numb, and he immediately slammed the closet door, looking up to meet Wu Sheng’s eyes, trying to let himself emit a sacred and inviolable righteousness from head to toe: “I look for clothes to change, you control Yes! Also, this is my home, can you knock on the door before you come in! “

Wu Sheng clasped his hands against the door frame and looked at him wanderingly: “I knocked, but you may be too sneaky to hear,” he said.
