Chapter 6: The Night Falls
It's been two days since I last met Ou Cheng at the sports park. Although Lin Jiaming added Oucheng WeChat, he still didn't say a word or talked about a word. Lin Jiaming knew that in his heart, he couldn't tolerate other people, and he still locked himself in that closed room, but he didn't know that the desert outside the door had begun to change quietly~
It was Friday, and Lin Jiaming returned to the house after work, thinking about how to spend the weekend. I was entangled in whether to continue to stay at home and watch, or go out to talk to Kaizi, after all, I haven't talked to Kaizi for a month since last time, and I don't know how this guy is doing. In the end, I decided to go to Kaizi for dinner on Saturday and call Xiaojie by the way.
Just as Lin Jiaming sent Gu Kai a WeChat appointment for tomorrow, Ou Cheng sent a WeChat message.
"Lin Jiaming, are you free tomorrow?"
"Something happens tomorrow!" Lin Jiaming had no further plans with Oucheng. added WeChat because it was really embarrassing that day, and he didn't want to embarrass a girl on that occasion.
"You'll have to be free tomorrow!" said Ou Cheng's tough attitude. This makes Lin Jiaming a little inexplicable, what does it mean to be free, now this is just acquaintance, so you're welcome?
"I'm sorry, I'm in too much of a hurry. Please make sure you take a little time tomorrow, Xiaojie and her boyfriend have a conflict. I hope you can come forward to call her boyfriend so that they can meet and have a good chat!" Seeing this news, Lin Jiaming understood why Kaizi's tone was so depressed when he called him that day.
"Tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the evening, the music bar where we last met!" Lin Jiaming made an appointment with Ou Cheng and turned around to call Gu Kai.
"Jiaming?" Lin Jiaming obviously Gu Kai's voice was still a little depressed, but it was a little better than a few days ago.
"Kaizi, tomorrow night at 8 o'clock, last time that bar about a wave!"
"You finally remember, there is a brother in this world, I am just looking for someone to talk to me!" Gu Kai's tone was a little sad, this is not like his style, Lin Jiaming doesn't know what happened between him and Xiao Jie, if you want them to release their suspicions tomorrow, you have to know what happened. And the only thing he can ask now is Ou Cheng.
After a few words, Lin Jiaming hung up the phone and sent a WeChat message to Ou Cheng.
"Do you know what happened between them?"
After a long time of not seeing Ou Cheng's reply, Lin Jiaming sent another question mark, but still did not reply. He estimated that Ou Cheng should be busy, so he didn't care, he could ask in detail tomorrow, and then make plans. Thinking like this, Lin Jiaming didn't care about WeChat, took the book "Worry Relief Grocery Store" from the table, and finished reading it in the last 20s.
He had read several of Keigo Higashino's novels, but he fell in love with this one at first sight. This book is full of sunshine and warmth between strangers, so that this originally indifferent world, because of the old man's insistent reply, brought a glimmer of hope to those on the verge of despair, and indirectly changed their lives.
may be because of the high-pressure work in the past few days, Lin Jiaming has not had a good rest, it is rare to relax, he took the book and fell asleep slowly.
When Lin Jiaming was asleep, night fell quietly, and the neon lights in the distance and the taillights of traffic on the main road constituted a unique scenery of the city. And Lin Jiaming's village seems to be an abandoned existence, with neon lights stopping at the edge of the village, allowing the dark night to envelop here. There are only sporadic lights, illuminating the dilapidated huts, and the occasional quarrel tells the sadness of the young people who are struggling here.
Lin Jiaming's window hangs a string of wind chimes, and he likes to listen to the sound of the wind blowing. At night, there is always a cool breeze to cross the village lanes and enter every house with open windows, and get mischievous. The window of Lin Jiaming's room was slightly open, giving the evening breeze a chance to enter his room and make trouble. The wind chimes were the first to swing, making a pleasant and crisp sound, and then the book next to Lin Jiaming's hand was also turned a few pages randomly. As if feeling a little cold, he wrapped himself in an uncovered cover, rolled over, and went back to sleep.
At this time, a black hand gently pushed open the window and gently jumped into Lin Jiaming's room. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, he searched the room with a faint flashlight. After looking around, in addition to Lin Jiaming's mobile phone, there were only a few books on the table and a few packets of instant noodles on the refrigerator. The black shadow gently took the phone and the novel from Lin Jiaming's side. He tiptoed to the window. Not wanting the night to be too dark, coupled with panic, he kicked the electric pot placed by the window, and the iron lid flew up, making a clanging sound on the wall and the ground, and woke Lin Jiaming from his deep sleep. As soon as he looked up and looked at the dark shadow by the window, Lin Jiaming naturally knew that this was not a good person. But he wasn't scared, after all, he was quite strong. Lin Jiaming jumped up from the bed and was about to catch the black shadow, but was instinctively avoided by the black shadow. The two of them were in the room and started a chase. During this period, the black shadow tried to escape from the window several times, but was blocked by Lin Jiaming. This shady chase drama lasted for 3 minutes. When the black shadow tried to escape from the window for the last time, he kicked the electric pot again, and the person was also tripped over, Lin Jiaming naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and immediately went up to catch the black shadow, the black shadow panicked, picked up the electric pot and hit Lin Jiaming. Lin Jiaming didn't have time to dodge, he was hit on the head by the electric pot, and instantly felt that his eyes were dark and he fell. When the black shadow saw Lin Jiaming fall in front of him, he panicked even more, threw away the electric pot in his hand, climbed from the window to the next door, and fled. After a while, there was a clang downstairs, and everything was calm again, but the night was even darker!
When Lin Jiaming woke up, it was already early in the morning. He had a long dream, in which he returned to the platform that day of farewell, and he was pressed against the cold platform, unable to move. He wanted to shout, but he couldn't, he wanted to cry, but he didn't have tears, so he was pressed there, looking at the shadow of the train in the distance, his heart hurt again, this time not only was his heart hurt, but his head also hurt until he woke up...
He struggled to get up, stumbled towards the light switch, and in the dark, groped for a long time to find the switch.
Turning on the light, the instant stimulation of the bright light made his eyes close instinctively, and it also made his head hurt even more. It took a while to slow down. After a few attempts, my eyes were finally able to get used to it. What caught my eye was a mess, the footprints back and forth on the sheets, the books on the table almost fell to the ground, scattered in all corners, the instant noodles were also trampled on, and the most annoying thing was that the electric pot was also sunken in a large piece, which could no longer be used, and the iron cover was also trampled on. Where Lin Jiaming had just laid, there was also a pool of coagulated blood, and his mobile phone was also taken away. Lin Jiaming smiled bitterly, the matter has come to this point, and there is nothing to be saved. At this point, you can't go to the hospital, so be it, he thought to himself. Then he walked to the washing place and washed the blood off his face little by little. Looking at himself embarrassed in the mirror, Lin Jiaming couldn't help but have a sour nose, but fortunately, it was quiet at this time, and no one saw it.
After probably washing, Lin Jiaming noticed that there was a wound on his head, which had scabbed, he didn't dare to rashly wash it with tap water, and there was no disinfectant in the house, so he didn't care about it, thinking that he would go to the hospital after dawn to deal with it.
After cleaning up, it was already dawn. Outside the window, it was still pitch black. Unlike the first half of the night, you can see a hazy white veil outside the window.
It's foggy~
