Chapter 31: A Woman's Jealousy
"Where...... What about this concept... It's better to understand it from a different angle. For example, the words projected into life......"
As the clouds darkened, the golden red sunlight filtered through the transparent windows onto the palm-colored desks, and the students left in twos and threes, and the huge study room became even more empty, and the golden and bronze bells ticked in the wooden bell seat at the end of the study room.
"Bell...... The heavy and powerful pendulum of the bell ...... rings out the melodious and distant bell at dusk, and the faint echo in the air is like the ancient horn from afar, full of mystery and exciting exploration.
O'Henry was still talking, but he raised his eyes and glanced at the big clock, every hour the bell was about to ring the clock, it was six o'clock in the afternoon, he looked back at Yan Jiujiu who was concentrating on taking notes, and a smile appeared in his heart, "Silly girl...... Don't you know you're hungry?"
He curled his lips to see her draw the last full stop in the book, and smiled, "Okay...... Shall we eat?"
"Hmm... Ahh......h
O'Henry smiled and shook his head, he pointed to the clock, "Look at it... What time is it?"
Yan Jiujiu looked at his bamboo-like fingers and exclaimed, "It's six o'clock! Time flies so fast!" she rubbed her head, "It's the same with playing boards in the design room...... It is said that time flies, and it will pass after a brush...... I feel like time is like sand, and all the essence leaks from between my fingers in my hands......!
Speaking of mud, Yan Jiujiu suddenly thought that when he was a child, his brother always loved to be a clay figure, and she was happy in her heart when she saw the colorful and green color shape, in order to get such a delicate clay figure, she had to help and mud as a condition, she was still young at the time, and her strength was not yet full, but the muddy black and gray mud was always lazily lying on her hands, motionless, at that time she always wondered why these black things in her brother's hands were always like domesticated beasts, docile and obedient, and changed into a thousand things, at that time she was innocent, always thought that this beast thought she was naïve and deceitful, and she was annoyed every time she thought of this, waving his arms vigorously to fight this beast! Sure enough, the black beast, unwilling to surrender, became furious, looked up to the sky and roared, crawling Yan Jiujiu's face and hands all over his body......
At this time, her mother would always say that she was like a mischievous little cat.
"What do you want?" O'Henry looked at Yan Jiujiu's thoughts, unwilling to interrupt her, but very curious, "It's going to be closed... Hungry?"
"When I think of my brother, I always loved ...... when I was a child"
Speaking of this, the gurgling sound came from Yan Jiujiu's shriveled stomach, which was especially abrupt in this empty study room, she felt a burst of embarrassment, and smiled unnaturally.
O'Henry chuckled under his breath, "If we don't leave, we'll be locked inside." He pursed the corners of his lips slightly, "I'll take you to eat that cheesecake later......"
"Well......" Yan Jiujiu raised his head and blinked a pair of watery almond eyes, and pouted: "Then you go to the door and wait for me first! I'll go to the bathroom......" After that, he blinked his eyes again, and muttered: "I drank too much water just now......
"Well, good. It's closed at half past six, hurry up..."O'Henry nodded, "You go first, I'll clean it up for you, and then I'll wait for you downstairs." ”
As soon as the words fell, O'Henry only felt a breeze blowing around him, and the person in front of him was like a light pink butterfly, which had already flown away.
O'Henry smiled shallowly, smiling brightly in a pair of sweet pear swirls. He packed up a pile of books and stationery on the table, turned around and went downstairs.
The delicate sunlight is divided into a neat area by the rows of bookcases, and the second grid is faintly imprinted with a black shadow in the shape of a human......
The sound of tapping leather shoes gradually faded away, the black shadow printed on the ground slowly amplified, and half of a stunning face appeared faintly behind the dark bookcase, only to see a charming and amorous Danfeng eye, obliquely inserted like sideburns, arrogant, "Yan Jiujiu...... You lowly girl...... O'Henry can protect you for a while, but he can't protect you for the rest of your life!"
After that, he followed Yan Jiujiu's trajectory and left.
The clouds are full of clouds, but just like the foolish man moving the mountain, slow without warning, the red of the sky is like a wonderful pen rendered by ink, with the sky as the paper, the xia as the ink, the eye as the pen, where the place to look, the fire clouds are raging, there is an endless trend.
O'Henry looked at the cloud that he watched ten minutes ago and walked a short distance unconsciously, knowing that Yan Jiujiu had been gone for a long time, he paced back and forth in front of the library, and stretched his neck to look in, since he came out, no student has ever come out, at this time, O'Henry's heart couldn't help but feel a touch of anxiety, he was thinking about going into the museum to investigate, who knew that at this time there was a beautiful woman walking in front of her, her skin was as white as fat with excellent maintenance, especially conspicuous, O'Henry subconsciously glanced at it, but the woman was wearing a veil, delicate and small top hat, so that the expression can not be seen clearly, the woman noticed O'Henry's gaze subconsciously turned her head to avoid, O'Henry felt a little strange, but at this time he did not delve into it, he frowned and looked inside, still no movement, still like a frozen landscape painting.
At the same time, the librarian began to pull down the roller shutter outside the door, "Wait a minute, please wait a minute!" and he said anxiously, "Sorry! Please wait! There is still one person in there who has not come out! Can you wait a few more minutes?"
"We all checked just now, and there was no one left. It's time, we're closing!"
O'Henry hurriedly said, "Have you checked the bathroom? The classmate who came with me went to the bathroom, and she hasn't come out yet! Can I go in and have a look!?"
The two administrators looked at each other, both shook their heads, and they all checked the layers of bathrooms, and there was nothing unusual.
Seeing that both of them shook their heads, O'Henry's heart was even more anxious, and his steps began to become restless, and he secretly thought to himself, "Could it be that something happened?"
He stepped on the messy drum beat under his feet, "I'm sorry. Can I please let me in and find out?"
"I'm sorry, it's ...... closing time"
The curtain was like a giant curtain, and it slowly fell, and O'Henry felt a wave of oppression for no reason.
Between the administrator's refusal, he settled down, slipped through the gap between the three-year-old child's heights, took three steps without looking back, and did two steps, walked like flying, and climbed to the second floor in a blink of an eye, leaving only a sentence of "Thank you!
"You ......"
In an instant, the person was gone......
O'Henry easily went up to the fourth floor, he looked around, the whole floor was empty, he stared at the dust suspended in the air, turned and ran to the bathroom, he ran quickly, his mind flashed the smile before she left, and the strange woman in front of the door, why did he think of that strange woman? Suddenly, there seemed to be a thunderous sensation in his mind, and a bad premonition came to his heart, and his eyebrows moved.
"Qi Xuan, you must not have anything to ......"
Thinking that he had arrived at the door of the ladies' bathroom, he tentatively shouted, "Qi Xuan! Qi Xuan, are you inside?"
Still, he could only hear the sound of ticking water, and O'Henry could imagine that the faucet of the sink was not closed tightly, and the drops of water hit the porcelain pool, turning into a pool of stagnant water.
"Qixuan?" O'Henry's eyebrows jumped, and he walked into the bathroom.
The black and white tiled floor was wet, as if it had been soaked in water for a long time, and the impurities and filth between the brick joints floated up for a moment, and O'Henry felt a chill.
"Henry......" Yan Jiujiu was confused, she seemed to have heard O'Henry's call, she subconsciously responded, but found that using all her strength was just a faint breath, "It's so cold......"
"Qi Xuan!" O'Henry, as if he heard a whisper, stepped forward and kicked open one door after another, but found it empty, until he reached the last door, the doorknob was obviously touched by someone, and the thick hemp rope was tightly wound around the doorknob like a vicious snake, and then tightened and tied to the faucet nearest to the door, so that no matter how the people inside pulled, the outside would always have the strength to contend with it, and the door could not be opened unless someone lifted the barrier, in other words, the people inside would be trapped until the next day, the strange woman...... Why did he always think of that woman? She was the only one who came out after he came out, who was she? Did it have anything to do with her?
Thinking that he began to untie the knotted hemp rope, he rejoiced: "Fortunately, it is not a dead knot......
There were bursts of whispers from the dark compartment, which were really in the ears, and the speed in O'Henry's hands was faster, "Qi Xuan! It's me! I'm Henry! Hold on!"
Yan Jiujiu only felt very uncomfortable at the moment, as if she had fallen into a whirlpool of infinite sinking, she remembered in a trance that she was ready to open the door after entering the bathroom but couldn't open it, when she was shouting in a hurry, it seemed like a downpour, she was drenched into a soup chicken, and then she heard the sound of the bucket falling to the ground, she didn't know who made a big joke on herself, the bathroom was already gloomy and cold, but after a while she sneezed many times, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, she only felt a whirlwind, and she sat on the ground……
The sweat on her body was mixed with the soaked clothes, she felt a burst of irritability, the strands of hair stuck to her face made her very uncomfortable, she reached out to grab but always couldn't catch it, then she remembered that she was naughty when she was a child, every time she came home after playing, her mother always bathed her, and she could always wash out a basin of black water with sand, and her mother said that she was rolling on the ground......
"Qi Xuan!" she vaguely saw a tall figure, but she couldn't see her face clearly, the long figure turned around, and hugged her, "Qi Xuan! Wake up, don't sleep!"
Familiar silhouettes, familiar voices, familiar body temperatures......
"Henry. A beautiful orchid bloomed from her lips, "You're here......"
O'Henry said distressedly: "I'm here......" He tightened his hands, a touch of self-blame welled up in his heart, and quickly walked out of the bathroom and went straight to the first floor, "I'm sorry." I shouldn't have left you alone...... In the future, I will always be by your side and ......"
