Chapter 52: The Wind Passes Without a Trace
The next day, I had another busy day's work, and by the way, I added an hour to the shift. By the time I remembered the appointment between Babao and Wei Lin at the bar, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. I lay on the bed, and Benny and the black dog scrambled to lie beside me, one next to my stomach, the other against my back, but fortunately it was spring, and if it was summer, I would definitely be covered with prickly heat from these two things.
Unfortunately, Benny and I are destined to have no summer.
I stroked Benny's fine and dense forehead hairs, and it snorted and purred like a tractor speeding through a golden field.
I hesitated to knock on Babao WeChat, but she didn't appear immediately after a day, so I hesitated and knocked on Weilin's WeChat, and first sent an expression, tentatively seeing that he was not online: "How are you talking today?"
He quickly replied to me: "That's it." My second draft has been uploaded, please ask the teacher to test it, and I successfully passed the plagiarism test. So, I'm going to stop pursuing this matter, and I'll take a step back with him and end there. If you know, you are not allowed to spread the word, lest everyone fight for red faces and hurt the love of classmates for four years. ”
Why? Is he magnanimous and ready to let the squad leader go at this juncture; is it that he and the squad leader have reached some consensus and what exchange, so they will not pursue it? Or is it that he has concealed some more embarrassing facts and does not want everyone to know?
I was thinking about how to phrase it, but there was no response for a while, Wei Lin continued to reply to me, and a word popped up on the screen, saying: "I was anxious before, and I didn't have any scruples, but because of Babao's compromise, I was overjoyed and carried away, and said some inappropriate words, which caused a misunderstanding between you and the brake." I'm here and I'm sorry to you, and I'm going to apologize to the brakes too. ”
"No, no," I didn't think about replying to the above sentence, I was still able to respond, "you apologized to him, but you really left something to say." You and I have a clear conscience, we don't look down on each other and dislike each other, just be able to maintain a friend relationship, don't make extra troubles and embarrass each other. ”
"I don't have a clear conscience. He returned and withdrew instantly. I suddenly remembered what Zhou Zhiruo said in response to Zhang Wuji's words at the end of "Yitian" - what if I have a guilty conscience?
What if you have a guilty conscience, even if you go back in time, the jade pot turns bright, the sunset is reborn as Xuhui, and the white dwarf turns back into a star, if it is not suitable, it is not suitable, there is no second word to say. The feelings of the past do not need to be buried, they do not need to be remembered, they only need to be sealed in a jar and sink to the bottom of the sea for eternity and never be opened, or like a zongzi wrapped in leaves and thrown into the river to be eaten by big fish, dust to dust to dust, vanished, and ashes to ashes.
He changed his words, "I admit that my childish mentality, selfishness, and luck, is really not advisable. It doesn't matter anymore, though, the important thing is that I understand it now. ”
I smiled back: "Then I'll see you when I defend." I wish you success and an excellent paper. ”
"Haha, good night. He typed haha. It's haha, it's not hahaha, it's not a trance hahaha. I was disgusted that there was no one to say, but now I have nothing to say to him. I sent a goodbye emoji, took a screenshot of the conversation, and wondered if I should send it to the brakes, but in the end I didn't do it.
I lay on the bed and brushed up the circle of friends, only to see that Wei Lin sent a new state, with a photo of the scenery under the sunset of the school building, "What you have to overcome is your vanity, your desire to show off, and what you have to deal with is your cleverness that wants to rush out and want to be in the limelight." —Maugham, The Moon and Sixpence"
Yes, a truly powerful person will not be a raging fire, but a gentle wind wandering in the world, he does not show off, does not jump out, he shuttles through the streets and alleys, the wind passes without a trace, only the willows fluttering, the water ripples.
I chatted with the brakes for half an hour and went to sleep. There was nothing in the dream, it was empty.
By the time I learned what had happened that night, it was already Saturday. Soy sauce and I made a voice call, and described the whole thing in an exaggerated tone, and I cleared my mind from her twittering description. That night, Babao and Wei Lin made an appointment to meet at the "Twilight Pupil", but as soon as the crow arrived at the bar and saw Wei Lin sitting, he pulled down his face and said that he wanted to talk to Ba Bao alone. Wei Lin didn't know what to say, which angered the crow, and the two actually got into a fight in the bar. Frostblade ran out of the back kitchen and tried to pull the two apart, but he was punched alive, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, which was considered broken. In the end, it was actually our Eight Treasure Woman, who jumped on the table and kicked the crow in the head, kicking him to the ground. Three men and one woman were taken back to the police station on Boxue Road by the police who arrived and made a record.
Soy sauce added fuel and vinegar to tell me that maybe it was the black crow who was angry in his heart, kicked to the ground by Babao, lost face, refused to mediate, and refused to hand over the network records. The four of them were in a stalemate at the police station, and they were detained until half past nine in the evening, and finally Wei Lin gave up the record, wrote the record, and was released from the police station by the policeman's uncle.
"Wow, I didn't expect Babao to be able to play martial arts. "I sigh from the bottom of my heart.
"Isn't the point here?" Soy Sauce sighed helplessly on the other end of the phone, "I hurriedly went to the dormitory to find Babao, and that guy was actually playing games in the dormitory, which really annoyed me." ”
"Aren't you giving up on matching Frostblade and Eight Treasures?"
"Give up, give up, when the old man comes, he has to touch his beard and turn around and leave. Soy Sauce sighed again, "Eight Treasures said, Frostblade is too immature, and he actually learns to fight with young people. Let's fight, let's fight, a big man is so tall and long, and he is weak when he moves, and he was beaten out of blood before he made a move, and she couldn't look down on it at all. ”
I held my phone and smiled helplessly. I asked Babao that night, and the next day Babao only replied to me that they had a fight at the bar, and she went to give Frostblade a red potion, and nothing else, let alone that she had won the crow. It's really cool Babao, she and hot sauce are both chivalrous style, idols in my heart.
If you compare Babao to an animal, then she must be a hedgehog, no, to say that a hedgehog is too childish, she should be a porcupine, wearing a spiky thorn, and she must be scolding when she sees something unpleasant. On weekdays, I went on a rampage in the forest, knocked over many small animals, and broke many big elm trees, only my soft places were left to the people around me.
In fact, she can also be very gentle or sweet, all she needs is someone who can be mature enough to take care of her and care for her. It's a pity that the powerless demon of Frost Blade is probably just a willow on her bumpy love road, which has long been broken by her waist and can't get up.
I can't help but ask her about Babao when I go back to school on Sunday. However, what can this be, life is her own life after all, how bitter it is, how sweet it is, only she can taste it. She crossed the river as a pony, and we were all different heights, so there was no way to measure the depth of the river for her.
Not to mention her, I can't protect myself now, and I will be slipped by the smooth and delicate moss at any point, and I will sit in the cold stream with my ass in the water.
A week passed quickly, and the brakes returned to the magic capital, and it was already Sunday evening. I made an appointment with him to take Benny home from school in the morning, but because of the difficulty of my hands and feet the day before yesterday, my phone was stolen, and I couldn't stop braking, so I wanted to come to my neighborhood to find me.
There was not much time to spare, but Benny, the little villain who lost his hair, did not cooperate, and jumped to the top of the closet, refusing to come down. Dad is cooking in the kitchen, and his health is not good, so he is really not suitable for jumping up and down, and I am holding a cat bag alone, which is really difficult to chase. I tried cans and hair cream, but they didn't lure Benny down, so I had to call the brakes and ask him to pick up the goods.
When the doorbell rang, I rushed to the door and pulled the brakes in.
The range hood on the other end of the kitchen rumbled.
I made a small gesture: "Shhhh ”
"Who's at the door——?" Dad's voice came from afar through the wooden door panel.
I hurriedly shouted, "Dad—it's the same city courier—I'm going to send the cat back to him—"
"Yes, I was a delivery boy last time, and this time I am a courier, and I have three hundred and sixty lines of feelings, and I have already done two lines with you. ”
Brake said in a low voice, actually teasing me, I gently kicked him with the toe of my cotton slippers, "Don't go in with me yet." ”
The two of us snuck into my room, and Benny was still on top, refusing to come down. He looked at my bedroom, intentionally or unconsciously, "Why are you in such a mess?" He pointed to the chair where I had piled up a few clothes, and said, "Isn't there a chair like this in the girls' room, isn't your hanger standing next to it, why don't you hang it on it?" ”
"I want you to take care of it. I snorted, "Apart from me, which girl's house have you seen, and you have really recruited her?" ”
"No, no, you're the only one who's seen it with your own eyes. Everything else is seen online, it doesn't count, it doesn't count. The brakes begged. I hooked my fingers and told him to bend down, and he did what he said, leaned down, and pinched two lumps of flesh on my cheeks.
"If you dare to lie to me, I'll take you and make dried fish to feed Benny and the black dog. ”
"You haven't lied to me once," Brake cheek landed in my palm, still muttering and muttering, "You still say that our men are big pig's trotters, and I think you women are also big pig's knuckles." ”
"What did you say?" I lowered my claws, narrowing my eyes dangerously.
"I said I was a big vinegar jar, a big vinegar jar. He nodded and retreated to the door.
At this moment, a broom hit the brake's head accurately, and then, he was kicked in the back and fell to his knees - "Which courier dares to enter the door to insult customers, and it can't go to the sky?"
