Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Book Returns to Meaning
Winter has passed, and spring has arrived. Each tree has pulled out its tender green leaves, and every bush of flowers has spit out a brilliant new stamen. As soon as the wind turned slightly, it exuded an intoxicating fragrance. The sun yawned long as a gift of departure. The sullen "virtuous brother" lay on the bed, staring at the bed board on the top bunk, and watched for an afternoon, a kind of nameless frustration, regret for his carelessness, and yesterday's forgetful and complacent gathering to surf the Internet. I was also thinking about it again and again, all the tracks of yesterday, always hoping to find a little clue, and asked all the roommates who went to the Internet café, but there were no clues.
At dinner, the "Brother Feng" on the top bunk was kind, patted the calf of the "Brother Xian" and said: Brother Xian, don't be entangled, didn't you write the notice of finding things, wait for the good news! Several other people also echoed and said: That is, we will also help you inquire, knowing that it will be like this, it is better not to call you to go to the Internet yesterday?
"Brother Xian" smiled and said, "I don't blame you, let's go to dinner!" "Brother Tao" asked: "Don't you want to eat—do you want to bring you something!" "Brother Xian" heard that everyone was so concerned, so he couldn't refuse, so he started and said, "Let's go, let's go eat together!"
When I returned to the dormitory, there was only "Brother Xian" left, and the others either had a chat with classmates or went to the study room. "Brother Xian" sat on the edge of the bed for a while, picked up his school bag, and wanted to find a place to study for a while.
Doodoo-toot-toot-toot-"Brother Xian" turned off the lights and was about to close the dormitory door when the phone rang urgently. "Brother Xian" pushed open the door, ran to the phone, hurriedly picked up the microphone, and asked: Hello, who are you looking for?
I-looking for you!" a female voice paused, as if you were pondering something. "Brother Xian" was a little surprised, but he felt that the voice seemed to be a little familiar, he didn't dare to be sure, he didn't react for a while, he didn't know how to answer, and he said: Do you know who I am?
Liu Guixian—Brother Xian—right? The girl smiled "hehehe", it felt like she was covering her mouth, and her voice was like being locked up in some space. "Brother Xian" couldn't help laughing, feeling that he would not be able to get out of his voice for a while, so he simply sat on the bed and said: I am - you are -
Who am I-no-hey--The girl sighed, sounding a little disappointed from her tone, and then said heartily: It doesn't matter who I am, but I have what you want! "Brother Xian" was a little puzzled, and the second monk was confused, and his mind was thinking quickly, first thinking about who this person was, and secondly, thinking that the thing should be a book, probably seeing the notice he was looking for on the bulletin board-he said curtly: I lost something, but why did I end up with you?
You don't have to worry about this, invite me to a meal, and I'll give it back to you! After speaking, the girl also smiled happily. When "Brother Xian" heard this, he was very happy, and said excitedly: Yes, no problem, you can decide the time and place!
Well-well, I'll tell you when I'm ready, and you'll just wait for me to call!" The lights were not turned on, and it was already dark in the dormitory, only the lights in the corridor were on, and the dim light shone in through the crack in the door, and a figure also squeezed in through the crack in the door, so that the light began to shake.
The black shadow stood by the crack of the door, not moving, just poking his head out, and looking sneakily in, "Brother Xian" didn't care, the book had whereabouts, put down the phone, put his feet on the bed frame, lay on the bed, was immersed in the excitement of the loss, and recalled the voice—he heard the black shadow who came in at the door muttering: Who—go out—why don't you even lock the door!"
"Brother Xian" heard the voice, which looked like "Brother Shan", and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Shan, I'm still here, I forgot to turn on the light!" After speaking, I only heard the person shouting "Ah-" and said: Brother Xian, are you going to scare people to death? After speaking, he turned on the switch of the door, and asked: Brother Xian, why didn't you go out?
"Brother Xian" smiled heartily and said: "Where are you going, as soon as you all go out, I feel that the dormitory is a good place for self-study!" "Brother Shan" smiled "hahaha", a rare look of pride, like he had just finished drinking that night, lying on the bed, crossing Erlang's legs, humming a song; "Brother Xian" was also a little uncontrollably happy, humming with him, and said proudly: I just went out and answered a phone call-Brother Shan, my book has been lost and recovered!
"Brother Shan" was still in his own excitement, and said absentmindedly: "Congratulations, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!" "Brother Shan" suddenly felt that a series of actions and the tone of speech after "Brother Shan" entered the door were a little strange, sat up, carefully examined him for a while, and asked hesitantly, tentatively: Brother Shan, why didn't you go to the study room tonight?
"Brother Shan" was arrogant, dangling Erlang's legs, and said happily: "Tonight - give yourself a holiday!" "Brother Shan" smiled "hehehe" and said: "This is not your style, besides, isn't this just a holiday?" After saying that, "Brother Shan" sat up, sat on his bed, and looked at "Brother Xian" happily; Brother Xian" was laughed at by him, and his heart couldn't help but be a little hairy, and he muttered in his mouth: You go to the study room in the same state as me in the morning, rain or shine, thunder can't move! After speaking, "Brother Shan" still remained happy, making "Brother Xian" feel a little silly and smile, "Brother Xian" asked seriously: Brother Shan, are you okay!
After saying that, "Brother Shan" got up and closed the door of the dormitory, locked it, looked around, and walked towards "Brother Xian" with a smile; "Brother Shan" felt a tight heart, and couldn't help but unconsciously hide inside; "Brother Shan" sat on his bed, still happy, "stupid" looked at him, suddenly his face changed, stopped smiling, moved to "Brother Xian", sneakily, dodged and said: Brother Xian, I am the first!
"Brother Xian" didn't understand, looked at him in wonder, and asked: What first? "Brother Shan" looked at him, embarrassed, and even said a little cowardly: When I went to the study room just now, I met the counselor and asked me to go to the office to help her, and I accidentally saw the statistical table of the results of each subject in the final exam of the last semester, I am our Chinese education major, and the overall score ranks first!
"Brother Xian" finally let go of his hanging heart, "Huh-" and said casually: Yes, you have to be the first, Jun bathes in the body, flows in the state, is loyal to the results, talks about the beauty of the world, matches the name and the truth, and is far from the best!
"Brother Shan" clasped his fists and saluted, and said: Brother Xian, I have won the award, and I have conceded!" "Brother Xian" smiled wryly, and asked by the way: What about Brother Fei, it shouldn't be bad, you two-
"Brother Shan" stood up, paced happily in the dormitory, and said: I have seen everyone's grades in our dormitory, they are not bad, and they basically won the top ten in the grade - "Brother Xian" listened to it, and secretly enjoyed in his heart, but he did not show it;
"Brother Xian" pretended to be relaxed, without showing a trace of embarrassment, and said jokingly: It seems that I have dragged our dormitory back - "Brother Shan" looked at "Brother Xian", held the shoulders of "Brother Xian", and took the initiative to enlighten: Brother Xian, you are preserving your strength and accumulating thick and thin!
"Brother Xian" smiled "hehehe", and smiled a little lightly, like the magnolia flowers outside the window, falling and colorful, and "Brother Shan" returned to the middle of the dormitory, pacing back and forth happily.
