"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Gu Lichuan covering his face, Ying Lan stepped forward and asked.

"It's okay, it's okay," Gu Lichuan shook his head and sank his gaze into the darkness created by his hands, "I just woke up and was a little confused, and I'll be fine after a while." ”

Ying Lan nodded and stretched.

"Arrived so soon?" Gu Lichuan, who had calmed down, raised his head and looked around, and the unfamiliar figures got up one after another and walked in the same direction.

Ying Lan looked down at her watch: "Actually, it's been a long time, maybe you fell asleep so you didn't feel it." Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"No, I don't. Gu Lichuan stretched his sore waist and twisted his stiff shoulders again.

"Seeing that you slept so deadly, I kept teasing you when I woke up, and you didn't wake up. Ying Lan stuck out her tongue, as if she felt regret for not being able to toss Gu Lichuan and spend these hours boringly.

Listening to Ying Lan's words, Gu Lichuan rubbed his hair and messy head and was silent.

"Let's go down first," Ying Lan got up and took off the neck pillow that was clipped to her neck, "I don't know if that classmate of yours has met you at the airport." ”

"If he still thinks about the friendship of classmates, he should come. With that, Gu Lichuan got up and walked behind Ying Lan.

The corridor of the airport is very spacious, and the sunlight shining in through the floor-to-ceiling glass is a little dazzling, because there is no luggage, Gu Lichuan and Yinglan in the crowd shuttle very easily, without the slightest delay.

"Haunting. Gu Lichuan followed behind Ying Lan and called her very uneasily.

"Huh?" Ying Lan didn't look back at him, but responded to him quickly.

"Have you ever had a nightmare?"

"I've done it. ”

"What kind of dream is it?"

"Hmm...... A lot, dreaming of being abandoned, dreaming of someone being killed in front of me, and dreaming of falling off a cliff and never falling to the ground, etc. ”

"And have you ever dreamed of hell?"

Hearing this, Ying Lan's pace slowed down.

"Ying Lan?" Seeing Ying Lan's pace slowing down, Gu Lichuan's heart hesitated, he really shouldn't throw such a reckless topic that makes people think too much to Ying Lan.

"Hell, what hell?" made Gu Lichuan worry a lot, and Ying Lan turned around, her face was completely curious, and she couldn't see the slightest heaviness or worry.

"It's that blood-red world," seeing that Ying Lan didn't react much, Gu Lichuan was able to let go and say, "It's as if people's senses have no effect in that environment, the eyes can't see clearly, the ears can't hear clearly, but they can clearly feel the pain and confusion." ”

"Lechuan, can you remember your dreams so clearly?" Ying Lan reached out and pinched Gu Lichuan's face, "You shouldn't study law, you should study Chinese language and literature, and become a novelist." ”

Gu Lichuan smiled awkwardly, thinking to himself: It seems that neither that guy nor Ying Lan can help me.

"Don't think about this," in order to comfort Gu Lichuan, Yinglan took his hand, "Isn't it just to leave your worries behind and enjoy life, if you can't even spend your vacation happily, it may be too much of a failure." As she spoke, she pulled Gu Lichuan and quickened her pace.

Walking into the hall, the light becomes softer, and it inevitably feels unfamiliar. What I saw was all kinds of people hugging and greeting each other, and everyone had a smile on their face, either happy or tired. Gu Lichuan was dragged through the crowd by Yinglan while looking for old classmates who he hadn't seen for many years and might not recognize. It may not be Fu Yihan, and it is not impossible for other people.

"Fu Yihan, Fu Yihan......" Gu Lichuan muttered the name of the invitee softly as he looked around for him.

In the summer, the weather is hot and humid, and the air conditioning in the classroom is tired and rude, but the cooling effect is very unsatisfactory. Everybody was doing what looked like studying—and in the final years of high school, everyone's minds had already flown to all corners of the country and the world.

"Gu Lichuan. Fu Yihan, who was sitting behind Gu Lichuan, patted him on the shoulder, and turned back to Gu Lichuan and Rita who was sitting next to him, Rita Davis.

"Have you figured out what to study?"

"I don't have any plans," Gu Lichuan shook his head, "I'm not very interested in archaeology and journalism, so I guess I'll study law or psychology." ”

"Then you have to beware of hair loss in the future," Fu Yihan smiled gloatingly, and then turned his head and asked Rita, "What about you, Rita?"

Rita blinked, her long eyelashes jumping up and down, and even with her heavy, clumsy school uniform, her pretty face was still impressive.

"I want to study literature, and I want to follow Lethe all over the world and write down everything I see and hear. ”

Fu Yihan nodded, and from his eyes, Gu Lichuan could see his unconcealable admiration for Rita.

"What about you?" Seeing that Fu Yihan did not comment, Rita asked him again.

"Me?" Fu Yihan pointed to himself, then leaned back and leaned against the edge of the table in the back row.

"I might study management or finance, and then go home and inherit the property after graduation. ”

Gu Lichuan interjected: "Even if you can't pass the exam, you can still go home and inherit the property, after all, before I understood the concept of 'company operation', you have already started to contact your family's business, right." ”

"Hahaha, this is," Fu Yihan admitted Gu Lichuan's words without pretentiousness, "Why don't you give Rita to me, I will definitely make her happy." ”

"There are no doors. ”

"Don't be so stingy. ”

"I'll go wherever Lethe goes. ”

"Alas. ”

I don't know why, Gu Lichuan actually recalled his former life, in the seemingly dark river of time, every immature student struggled with his own little desire, like holding a weak but warm flame in the boundless darkness and sorrow. That little bit of selfish and secret desire, in the eyes of others may not be worth mentioning, but for each owner is precious, not to be touched or even snooped, when people fall into exhaustion and burnout, this kind of vigilance to protect private property is particularly strong, so it is often this vigilance and the contradictions and conflicts that seem to be unshared, after a long sleep may become transparent and indifferent.

"Gu Lichuan!" Suddenly, a strong slap fell on Gu Lichuan's shoulder, making him feel shocked.

Gently patting his chest with another hand that was not being held by Ying Lan, Gu Lichuan looked behind him.

A girl dressed in simple clothes and wearing sunglasses was standing behind her, smiling and looking at herself.

"Look at how scared you are. The girl wore a small top hat on her head, a faint burgundy shimmer, a shoulder-length Sassoon hairstyle and slightly slanted bangs made her look vibrant, while the inconspicuous black tattoo on her thigh loomed between the short hot pants.

"Are you ......?" Gu Lichuan looked at the girl in front of him, and his head began to think quickly.

"Don't think about it," the girl said, reaching out and knocking on Gu Lichuan's head, then taking off her sunglasses. In an instant, Gu Lichuan's memory was awakened by the pair of heterochromatic pupils.

"Ouyang?" Gu Lichuan's face showed an expression of disbelief.

As soon as she walked into the new classroom, everyone was introducing and discussing with each other, but only this girl with heterochromatic pupils sat in the corner without saying a word, quietly flipping through the "Tale of Genji" in her hand, as if the things around her had nothing to do with her.

"Does anyone have a good handwriting? ”

No one answered.

So the middle-aged man with glasses and a fat belly looked at the student in his hand and signed in the booklet: "Gu Lichuan, why don't you write it." ”

"Teacher, can you find someone to help me with?" Gu Lichuan frowned, unhappy about the trouble that fell from the sky.

"I'll take a look," the teacher followed Gu Lichuan's name down, "Ouyang ...... Leave the palace, you go and help him. ”

The girl closed the heavy book in front of her and slowly got up.

Gu Lichuan handed her the chalk box, she didn't reply, took the chalk box, stepped on the stool, and wrote without typing. This posture made Gu Lichuan a little scared.

The classroom behind him was still noisy, but Gu Lichuan and Ouyang Ligong didn't say a word.

"That book is very obscure, isn't it?" Finally, seeing her expressionless, Gu Lichuan asked a little embarrassed.

"Have you seen it?" Hearing Gu Lichuan's words, Ouyang, who was stepping on the stool, lowered his head and asked Gu Lichuan.

"Yes, but I've almost forgotten it. At the time, I just thought the content was so complicated, and the more I watched it, the more confused I became, but now that I think about it, the main stem is actually very clear, and the description is particularly delicate. Look at this kind of work, it is stronger than the current miscellaneous novels. Gu Lichuan said, looking down for red chalk, but unfortunately there was only green, blue and yellow in the box.

When he looked down, Gu Lichuan felt the figure fall from the stool, and then handed the red chalk in front of him.

"Looking for this, right?" The girl smiled, perhaps because she felt that Gu Lichuan was a little similar to herself.

"My name is Ouyang Ligong. ”

Gu Lichuan nodded, stretched out his hand and took the red chalk: "Gu Lichuan." ”

"I really didn't expect it," Ouyang Ligong put on his sunglasses again, and reached out to pat Gu Lichuan's shoulder, "You have become so handsome, and you are a lot taller." ”

Gu Lichuan smiled: "It's you, I don't dare to admit that you have become so beautiful." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Ouyang, who heard the compliment, tiptoed to tiptoe embarrassedly, and then noticed Ying Lan behind Gu Lichuan who had already let go of his hand and waited quietly.

"Lechuan, this is ......" Ouyang asked by poking Gu Lechuan in the stomach with his elbow.

Not wanting to embarrass Gu Lichuan, Ying Lan took a step forward.

But before she could introduce herself, Gu Lichuan stretched out his arm and gently hugged her by his side.

"Let me introduce you, this is Ying Lan, my girlfriend. ”

"Your girlfriend?" Ouyang Ligong tilted his head and helped his sunglasses.

Gu Lichuan nodded, and Ying Lan, who was hugged by his shoulder, lowered his head shyly.

"That Davis......"

Hearing Ouyang's inquiry, Gu Lichuan lowered his eyes and bit his lip.

"I don't know how to say it, but I still have to. ”

"Broke up?"

"Ouyang," this time, not only his eyes, but Gu Lichuan's head also drooped, "Maybe you don't believe it, but Rita ...... her"

"Rita, she's dead. It wasn't Gu Lichuan's voice, behind Ouyang Ligong, a man approached slowly, his hands in his pockets, his steps firm, but his expression was very solemn.

"I forgot to tell you when you came. The man's words were addressed to Ouyang, but his eyes looked straight at Gu Wangchuan.

"I'm sorry I just went to the bathroom and didn't pick you up at the first time. Long time no see, Gu Lichuan. ”

Gu Lichuan sighed and nodded in response to his welcome.

"Long time no see, Fu Yihan. ”
