Chapter 1: One Hundred Years of Solitude

Yang Jingxing, a student at Shangpu School in Puhai City, will be in his third year of high school next semester. It's summer vacation and he's traveling around Europe with a summer camp organized by his school. Today is the last night in Paris, Yang Jingxing and his roommate Tan Dong were bored for a while and decided to buy some wine to grow up.

According to Tan Dong's suggestion, real men drink brandy. The two of them looked at the small convenience store for a long time, and picked a bottle of 700 ml, but they didn't know what brand and type they had.

Both of them are sixteen or seventeen years old, which is already the age when they can buy alcohol, but their passports are centrally managed by the teachers who lead the team, and the school also stipulates that students are not allowed to drink alcohol during school, and beer is not allowed. Therefore, Yang Jingxing could only take out his resident ID card and negotiate with the old man at the cashier, and explained anxiously for a long time. Tan Dong originally thought that Yang Jingxing's height of 1.83 meters plus a youthful mustache could save them these troubles.

After all, I bought the wine, and when I brought it back to the room of the youth hostel, I trembled like a thief. After closing the door, he immediately looked for a cup and poured half a cup for each person.

After taking a sip impatiently, Tan Dong frowned again and tasted it, and commented: ", it's the same taste as XO." ”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "That's earned." ”

Tan Dong chewed dried fruits: "The money you gave, drink more." ”

Yang Jingxing disagreed: "I want to have a treat." ”

Tan Dong took a big sip and took a small sip: "One person and half!"

A quarter of an hour later, the wine bottle was only half empty, Tan Dong was already drunk, holding a wine glass in one hand and holding a pillow in the other, complaining: "I really shouldn't have come to this school, I regret dying, if I stay in Quhang, I don't know how comfortable it is to have fun, there are many friends, and there are many beautiful women." He is from Quhang, and Yang Jingxing's home is in Jiuchun, a small county-level city near Quhang, so the two became friends and roommates.

Yang Jingxing was angry: "You don't have to treat me as a friend, but you can't help but treat Jiang Jing as a beauty!" Jiang Jing is a beautiful girl in the same class that Tan Dong likes, and this time she is with you.

Tan Dong sighed: "I really can't get used to her for a long time...... I want to fall in love, it's too late!"

Yang Jingxing clinked glasses: "Sympathy for the same disease, do it." ”

Tan Dong refused: "I don't believe you when you say you're crying!" Although Yang Jingxing in Shangpu is like most of his classmates, Tan Dong firmly believes that his roommate has an innocent past. has been a roommate for two years and a table mate for a year, and he has some of Yang Jingxing's handles.

Tan Dong said his ideals again: "I still want to take my girlfriend to Germany next year to watch the World Cup." "It should be a carnival after the college entrance examination.

Yang Jingxing clinked glasses again: "Come on, I wish you an early love!"

This time, Tan Dong was happy, took a sip and then lay down on his back, closed his eyes and sorted out his thoughts: "Ren Chuyu, his grades are not good, Li Ya, a little short, Wang Fanxuan...... I don't know much; Bai Yun, it's boring...... Tao Meng is getting more and more disgusted with her...... "Several good-looking ones in the third class have been eliminated, and the ones in the fourth class are not good, which is really a problem."

Yang Jingxing praised: "Your vision is too high." ”

Tan Dong was angry: ", your vision is low!"

In the end, the bottle of wine was not drunk, but Tan Dong was so drunk that he fell asleep without washing.

I got up before 7 o'clock in the morning to assemble, because I had to catch the high-speed train to Geneva at 9 o'clock. Teacher Bo, who is strict and conscientious and responsible, counted the number of people, and ten boys and eight girls arrived.

When eating breakfast, Tan Dong beckoned Ren Chuyu and Li Ya to sit together, saying that he and Yang Jingxing were drunk last night and are still dizzy.

The girls didn't admire, Li Ya asked: "Yang Jingxing, have you ever sat in TGV?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "I'll sit down if you ask me again in the afternoon." ”

Ren Chuyu chuckled and said, "Quhang to Puhai will also be connected to the high-speed railway." ”

Li Ya disdainfully: "By that time, they will all graduate." ”

A group of people was sent to the Gare de Lyon by the travel agency. Teacher Bo beckoned everyone to sit in a proper manner and not to get separated.

Yang Jingxing, who had been brewing for many days, found the opportunity to find an opportunity to plead: "Teacher Bo, can I not go to Rome with everyone? I want to go to Modena to have a look." ”

Teacher Bo shook his head again and again, "No, no, how can it be...... Where is Modena?"

"Ferrari headquarters. Shao Lei, who was in the same class, lazily helped Yang Jingxing answer, "A place that is enjoyable." ”

Yang Jingxing said eagerly: "I will leave when I arrive in Geneva, and I will only go for one day, so I will be in time." ”

Bo Er and the others remembered that when they were counting in China, Yang Jingxing seemed to be the place he wanted to go, but he still shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, I want to be with everyone! This opportunity to visit CERN is not easy to come by, and we should cherish it." "He's a physics teacher, of course.

At this time, Tao Meng came over. She was wearing a Dior summer outfit that she hadn't seen before. A short black skirt, a light gray top resembling a jacket, black high heels and translucent black socks are not suitable for sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls.

Tao Meng, who wore high heels, was on an equal footing with Tan Dong, who was 1.75 meters tall, and her big sunglasses covered half of her face, making her pink thin lips a little dazzling.

Regarding Jiang Jing and Tao Meng's status as class flowers, Tan Dong thinks that Jiang Jing wins, because Tao Meng is already the class leader, and he can't have too many titles, which is enough to stink.

Standing in front of Mr. Bo, Tao Meng took off his sunglasses and said, "Mr. Bo, tell the travel agency that I will stay in Italy for a while and not go back with everyone." ”

Bo Erji agreed to this request: "Well, I know it." Father is coming?" the reason why he is called Bo Erfang is because his height is not as good as Tao Meng, who is not wearing high heels.

Yang Jingxing was really embarrassed, and hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Teacher Bo, can I stay for two more days?" I'll call home ......" This made Tao Meng look at him.

The fair-minded Bo Erfang had to say, "As long as your parents agree!"

Yang Jingxing hurriedly called his father, and whispered for a rare time. But of course my father disagreed: "No, you're alone! People in Italy don't speak English, do they?"

Yang Jingxing didn't give up: "I beg you, it's not for Ferrari, I don't want to come to ...... at all" I really can't do it, so I have to give up my self-esteem: "Not only me, but also a classmate, she has someone to pick her up at home!"

Tao Meng was surprised when he saw Yang Jingxing's eyes this time, and his lips moved to say something.

My father asked a series of questions: "What kind of classmate are you, a man or a woman, what are you doing at home?" Is it true?"

Yang Jingxing didn't look at Tao Meng: "It's true!"

"Give it to your teacher, I'll ask. "The father doesn't trust his son very much.

Yang Jingxing was cheeky and begged for the second class.

Bo Erhe was very embarrassed, and said on the phone: "There is a classmate who doesn't go back...... It's still a female classmate, but they don't ......" looked at Tao Meng ruthlessly: "Tao Meng, are you willing to be responsible for Yang Jingxing?"

In the ridicule of other classmates, Tao Meng lowered his eyes and shook his head expressionlessly.

After Yang Jingxing answered the phone awkwardly, he whispered to his father in annoyance: "I'm not a child anymore...... Forget it!"

After a while, he got in the car, Yang Jingxing seemed to be very lost, looking out the window sullenly. After setting off for more than an hour, he suddenly heard Tao Meng call him: "Yang Jingxing." ”

Yang Jingxing's head was rarely turned, and he squinted at the enemy.

"What are you going to do in Rome, how many days?" Tao Meng said in a businesslike tone.

Yang Jingxing's expression immediately flipped, and his face was full of smiles: "I'm going to see the headquarters of Lali...... Two days is fine, three days at most!"

Tao Meng looked at Yang Jingxing and thought for five seconds, and said, "Then let's go on the ninth, and you will get on the plane on the eleventh at the latest." ”

Yang Jingxing hurriedly said: "No problem! I'll go alone, I'll leave after reading it, nothing will happen!"

The squad leader shook his head very majestically: "You want to come with me." ”

Yang Jingxing didn't care: "Okay, you have the final say!"

Tao Meng nodded: "You can call home." ”

For the sake of Ferrari, Yang Jingxing was really disgraced, and he had to let his father talk to his classmates on the phone.

Tao Meng was very polite: "Hello uncle...... Yes, my name is Tao Meng...... My dad, he's in Leipzig now...... No, it's Germany...... I don't know. Uncle, it's like this, I'm Yang Jingxing's squad leader, I know that he wants to go to Maranello this time, and it just so happens that I also have time......" After finally finishing speaking, Tao Meng returned the phone to Yang Jingxing, frowning slightly.

Yang Jingxing hurriedly reassured his father again, and at the same time, his left arm had to endure Tan Dong's heavy beating.

At noon, they arrived in Geneva, and after listening to Bo Er's arrangement, they went back to their rooms. Tan Dong did not hide his excitement of envy and contempt for Yang Jingxing at all, and told him to pay attention to what Tao Meng's family was doing.

Tan Dong is very good at analyzing: "Absolutely! Look at Huo Xuan, you don't have any ideas now, right?"

Yang Jingxing laughed at himself: "For the sake of Ferrari, I gave up." ”

At lunchtime, Tan Dong and Yang Jingxing ate steak and drank beer, and they also drank three bottles by themselves, which was crooked. Then Mr. Bo gathered everyone together to give a detailed introduction to CERN to visit tomorrow.

Later in the evening, Tao Meng called Yang Jingxing's room and asked him to go to room 1108 to discuss going to Modena.

"Sit down, do you want to drink water?" Tao Meng greeted as if he were a guest. She was in the same room as Cao Ayalan, Cao Ayalan counted the spoils on her messy bed, and Tao Meng's bed was very tidy.

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Xie Lu Xie, in fact, you don't have to accompany me, I will go on the morning of the ninth and come back on the afternoon of the tenth......"

Tao Meng interrupted: "No, we must be together, this is the responsibility of the squad leader, and I promised your father...... In fact, when I was collecting opinions at school, I knew where I wanted to go, but I had to think about most of the group, so I couldn't take care of it on the route. ”

Cao Ayalan interjected: "I don't want to have Tao Meng with you!"

Yang Jingxing hehe: "I'm afraid you'll be bored." ”

Tao Meng shook his head: "Anyway, I don't have any arrangements, my father only came to Rome to pick me up on the 10th, but we will stay for a few more days, so you want to go back alone, and you can book the ticket yourself?"

The squad leader was conscientious and responsible, planned Yang Jingxing's itinerary in detail, and asked him to report the news as soon as he returned to China.

The next morning, I went to visit CERN, which is the European Institute for Particle Physics. Bo Erfang was much more excited than the students, and kept asking the tour guide to introduce and take pictures, and only then did he take the time to tell the students what a beautiful subject particle physics is.

Probably in order to show their humanity, the Europeans wanted to open the Large Hadron Collider to Yang Jingxing, a group of Oriental children, and arranged for a tour guide to explain it.

Standing in front of the huge core of the collider, Bo Er's voice trembled like an indigenous person seeing a totem, his voice trembled, and he taught Yang Jingxing: "Take a good look, isn't this more exciting than Ferrari?"

Yang Jingxing nodded in agreement.

Bo Er and the others began to say something about the black hole wormhole again, and Tan *ran squatted down and made a terminator pose: "I am from the future." As he wished, he was ridiculed by several female classmates.

The camp guide translated for the students: "Most of the people who came here this year were not as lucky as you, because the LHC had been overhauling before, and today we are conducting the Higgs boson experiment. ”

Yang Jingxing was about to raise his camera to take a picture, when he suddenly felt a flash of whiteness in front of him......

After regaining consciousness, Yang Jingxing found that he was in pitch black, and he made another movement to open his eyes, but it was still pitch black. In a panic, his first instinct was to reach out and touch himself, but unfortunately, he couldn't feel his hand...... The action commands that emanated from the brain also disappeared without a trace, and there was no response.

After panicking, Yang Jingxing found that he couldn't feel anything in the dark, as if he had no body, no breathing, no air around him, no temperature...... The only thing you have is consciousness and the ability to think.

Is he dead? Only a poor soul is left floating in the endless darkness. Yang Jingxing's consciousness was desperate and sad.

After a long time, it was about a few days to feel it with consciousness, Yang Jingxing guessed that he had probably become a vegetative person, because after calming down, he didn't believe in the so-called soul.

I really don't want to be unwilling, I am still young, but I have just become a vegetative person! What happened? Did the collider explode? Yang Jingxing imagined what his mother would be sad about, and he could only cry in his heart.

How much I want to live! In the past, Yang Jingxing never understood what people were doing to live, but now he knows that people live for the living, and it is better to live than anything else!

I can eat and sleep, I can talk and laugh, I can cry and scold when I am alive...... There are friends, relatives, and girls alive...... I don't know how long it took to be a few weeks or months, but Yang Jingxing began to suffer from loneliness.

The only remaining consciousness also hopes that the developed medicine can save him as a vegetative person as soon as possible, so that he can see the light of day again and be free from torture. Yang Jingxing has to wait, but unfortunately there is no end to this waiting, day after day, day after day, about a week has passed...... He was still a wretched soul, floating in endless darkness, not sleeping, not breathing......

Now, maybe a year has passed. Yang Jingxing wants to make his consciousness crazy, and it is better to become a complete fool, so that he does not have to be tortured by thinking. He finally understood that it was too painful for the prisoners in the prison to be so afraid of being locked up in a small dark room!

I miss my mother's nagging, my father's scolding, and my grandparents' love. Friends, how are you? And they said they were going to go to the same city to go to college. Liu Miao, Xia Xue, said that they were going to swim together during the summer vacation, did you come to see me, Mom, where am I now, have you gone home, Mom and Dad, don't be sad......

Yang Jingxing sighed in the endless darkness, sadly...... After a long time, I want to laugh once in a while...... With the slow passage of time, a year, two years, ten years...... Infinitely long solitude......

How many years have passed? Are my parents still alive? I'm old, right? It's time to die! If medicine doesn't advance, it's better to be euthanized! Is this just a way to survive but not to die? What have I done wrong, punish me like this!

Another day, Yang Jingxing suddenly came to his senses and felt that he should think of something happy. Fortunately, the memory of vegetative people is surprisingly good, and every bit of life has not passed.

Although I have thought about everything I can recall and conjecture countless times in the past few decades and hundreds of years, I still start one of the countless possibilities again: if I don't have an accident, how will I live in the second half of my life, what kind of wife will I marry, and will I have a daughter or a son...... How can you live and not come to the world for nothing?

was obscene, Yang Jingxing's thinking was suddenly startled. Is that white? Why is it white? It seems to be fleeting in front of you! What you see is still an illusion? I have forgotten what vision and illusion are!

This change is too big for Yang Jingxing, who is accustomed to dozens or even hundreds of years of nothingness. Frightened and ecstatic, I hope for more.

Yang Jingxing was not disappointed, and in the "vision" of his consciousness, which had no direction or angle to speak of, white appeared, followed by red, green, and orange...... It's so rich!

The colors appeared and disappeared, as if they had disappeared into their own consciousness, but the rest was endless, and at the end, the lights intertwined into the shape of a DNA map, constantly rotating and changing, entering their own thoughts.

Yang Jingxing's consciousness has no sense of time anymore, but it is estimated that this colorful state has lasted for about a day or a month. As those spectral halos enriched him, he visibly felt a change in consciousness, or rather a change in thinking and mind. Many things that I can't remember are suddenly recalled, and they are very clear...... The whole memory became so organized.

It was another moment of surprise, Yang Jingxing felt something, feeling, feeling, what is it? breath, temperature! yes! It was the body!

Yang Jingxing's consciousness was almost fainting with joy, this was not an illusion! The past few decades were hallucinations. The feeling now is so real.
