"Are you there?"

"I know you're here, get back to me. ”

As soon as Liu Wang woke up, he saw the message sent by Chen Yixin, and the time was eleven o'clock last night.

At that time he was playing games like crazy, because only then would he not be consumed by loneliness and go crazy.

Only in this way can he find the only thing he has left in this world, an insignificant sense of existence.

He looked at the time, ten o'clock in the morning.

He forgot when he had fallen asleep last night. If it weren't for the pain in his cervical spine caused by resting his head on the edge of the bed for a long time, he wouldn't have woken up at this moment.

The headphones had long since fallen out of his ears, and there was still the damn song "I May Have Died Last Night" in them.

Liu Wang also didn't know if he was alive last night.

He glanced at the characters flashing on the screen again. It's been a long time since he's heard from anyone else, it's like he's suddenly evaporated from this world, and no one remembers him.

But how could she message herself? What is she going to do with me?

Now she is neither the top student on campus nor her boyfriend, so what reason does she have to come to her?

Did she have a whim and wanted to take her to play games? No kidding, she said she wouldn't play games.

So why exactly?

At this point, she should be in class. Wait until noon when she gets out of class, and then message her back.

Liu Wang had forgotten many things, but he still remembered the school schedule very clearly.

At noon, he really saw Chen Yixin online.

"What's wrong?"

"Wangzai!" Chen Yixin replied to his message almost instantly.

"What's wrong?" Liu Wang sent again.

"Wang Zai, you finally ignore me, I'm about to cry!"

"What's the matter?"

Chen Yixin's words are warm, different from others, Liu Wang didn't notice it much before, but now he can clearly feel the warm current surging in his chest, but it is fleeting.

"Wangzai, I know everything. ”

Liu Wang's body trembled.

"Know what?"

"I know you were in a car accident. ”

"Oh. Liu Wang replied coldly, his mood was very calm, and there were not too many waves.

"Wangzai, why are you hiding it from me? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Why should I tell you? Do you want to sympathize with me and laugh at me?"

"How can you say that, do you know how much I miss you during your absence?"

"Oh. ”

"Wangzai, I thought you just disappeared for a while to be busy with your business, and you would come back to me after you were done, but you never appeared. It took me a bit of inquiry to find out that something was wrong with you, and I didn't know anything. ”

"Oh, so what?"

"Wangzai, I'm your girlfriend, and I have the right to know about you. ”

"We've broken up, you said, you're going to forget about me. ”

"No, I take back what I said before, I won't break up with you, I won't forget you, and besides, I won't allow you to forget me. ”

"If I were you, I'd go and get some rest right now and get ready for the afternoon class. ”

"Wang Zai, you can't drive me away, I know everything now, you can't fool me. ”

"Oh. ”

"If I don't ask, are you going to keep me in the dark?"

"Yes, there is a plan. Liu Wang told the truth.

"You!" Chen Yixin made an angry expression.

"It's time for you to rest. Liu Wang looked at the time and reminded.

"Hmph, I'll go find you. ”

"Oh. ”

Liu Wang didn't want to talk to her too much, because he didn't want to delay her time, and he didn't know what to say.

His mind was blank and dizzy right now, and it should have something to do with the fact that he had played too late yesterday.

He poured a glass of water, and could no longer remember when it had been boiled, as if it had been left for days.

If it had been before, even if it was overnight, he would pour it and boil it again.

He is too lazy to care about those bits and pieces now, as long as he can't eat to death, then let it go, save trouble.

Liu Wang used to follow the doctor's instructions and go for a walk outdoors alone every day to exercise his body.

But after that nightmare, he became a little afraid to go out.

He leaned on the windowsill and looked out, the sun was high in the sky, and there were a few white clouds floating in the sky, and there was nothing unusual.

Did the black sun he saw that day appear in a dream, or in reality, or in his own fantasy?

In any case, he was going to go out, and he couldn't stay in his room for the rest of his life and do nothing.

Liu Wang walked into the living room and wanted to make a cup of milk tea. When I opened the cabinet, I was greeted by the smell of strawberries. He was in a trance, his half-outstretched hand frozen in mid-air.

Finally, he made a cup of plain milk tea.

I don't know why, it's obviously very sweet milk tea, he took a sip and spit it on the balcony.

He opened the cabinet again and looked at the expiration date of the milk tea powder. Well, it's not expired. As he slowly closed the cabinet door, his peripheral vision deliberately glanced at the bag of strawberry-flavored milk tea powder next to him.

Liu Wang sat on the sofa in the living room, not knowing what he was thinking, his eyes were empty, like a statue.

Suddenly, he became alert as if he were facing a great enemy, and looked to the side.

A man pushed open the door and walked out. Oh, look at the figure and silhouette, it should be the shadow of Dad.

Liu Wang can no longer see the faces of those who have turned into shadows clearly, and this has nothing to do with his myopia.

Since his father became a shadow, no matter what Liu Wang said to him, he didn't react, as if he didn't exist at all.

He goes out to work by himself every day, and comes back from work by himself, watching TV and eating, as if he is the only one in the family.

At first, Liu Wang felt very flustered and unaccustomed, he even went to the police, but all the police regarded him as crazy.

Slowly, he also felt that it didn't matter. What else can Dad give him besides financial support?

What else does he need? No, is he?

In fact, this is also very good, Liu Wang used to comfort himself like this.

The man looked in the mirror, tied his tie, and then picked up the briefcase from the coffee table in front of Liu Wang, and kept his head down during the whole time, without even looking at him. Then he took neat steps, pushed the door open, and so it went on day after day, year after year.

It's time to go out yourself.

Liu Wang walked to the balcony and looked at the crowd of people in the community, their cheeks were blurred, and their movements were almost the same: either holding the bag in his left hand and the phone in his right hand, looking down as he walked, or he held the bag in his arm and played with a pad with both hands.

I don't know where they all work, how many hours they work every day, and how much they get paid each month, but in Liu Wang's opinion, they are all the same.

If you could label people's faces, they should all be labeled the same.

But it's different from the sanitation workers who put their brooms and buckets aside and sit on the lawn and play with their phones. They're just too lazy and boring.
