High-rises, mansions, traffic.

Lu Mingfei walked through the crowd with his head down, looking at the buildings around him from time to time to compare them with the map, his messy hair and pale and weak face made him look very wolfy.

The strange city, the strange people, the feeling of being alone in the crowd but still blindly chasing him, reminded him of the interview at the Kassel Academy of the Regent Hotel.

The difference is only between the general strange and the very unfamiliar.

In fact, at the end of the day, he doesn't have anywhere he wants to go right now—or rather, there is nothing he can go to.

Staying in a small southern city from childhood to adulthood, naturally there are no relatives and no reason in the huge city of Beijing, and there is nowhere to turn to it except a hotel. He didn't have much ability to be entrusted with a heavy task, so when everyone was trying to chase the ethereal dragon shadow, he resolutely returned to his old job of playing interstellar on the Internet.

Now I come out to walk the street, also because I am tired of playing for the time being.

Walking across a pedestrian bridge again, after confirming that he had not yet reached the point where he did not know the way back to the hotel at all, Lu Mingfei continued to let his mind run like a wild horse on the loose.

Seriously, it's true that Beijing is the capital, but not every building aspires to be the world's tallest building, and not every building has the complex ideas of a famous designer. Some of the high-rise buildings are high-rise buildings from decades ago, and some of the new buildings are still half-new today. In addition to some more famous buildings, in other places, Lu Mingfei even has the feeling of finding his own small town.

And it was for this feeling that he walked around the streets seemingly aimlessly.

When you come to a strange place, if you want to settle down in your heart, I'm afraid you can only try to find some familiar scenes from the past that don't exist, right?

For example, the billiard room he often goes to after school, the boss is a guy who dropped out of high school and then went to work in other provinces, and he spoke with a strong Chaoshan flavor, but he was still very good and would keep the best platform for regular customers like him; For example, in the Internet café where the nutrition express line and night package fee are one dollar lower than others, the network administrator always looks like he can't wake up, and he watches some inexplicable Hong Kong comics and old TV series with headphones.

For example, he can often sit on the rooftop for hours at a time, and now he hasn't visited it for a year, maybe the moss has taken over his favorite spot.

There you can watch the sunset over the city and wait for the brightness of the most prosperous CBD district to light up little by little.

Although it has nothing to do with him, the light can be reassuring.

The night scene of the small southern town is mainly dominated by the bustling CBD area; A light flash, a little bit of Shanshan. The scene he was most familiar with was in the darkness outside of Yan Shan, sitting and watching Yan Shan.

The night in the real big city is when they come to life completely.

He used to browse online forums and flipped to a post that probably compared the night scenes of Beijing and Shanghai, and took photos of each one. The lights of Shanghai at night are all over the bustling office buildings and hotels, but the lights along the streets are less conspicuous and darker, like dying incense or cooling lava.

The water not far away reflects the blurred light and shadow of the complex, and the pointed Oriental Pearl Tower is unique.

And in Beijing, after witnessing it with my own eyes, it is even more impressive.

The blue, blue and yellow architectural lights only show a color matching embellishment, but what is really surprising is the golden light and shadow reflected on both sides of the road, looking down from the high-rise buildings, as if a vibrant golden artery, intertwined and scattered to form the most important city, supplying the blood of the traffic surge.

But he couldn't find the light of Yan Shan.

Surrounded by mountains, the Kassel Academy is quiet and unlit. On the hill where he once drove the Bugatti Veyron to see the stars, in addition to the star-like fireflies, it was also a good location to see the academy from afar.

In the crowd, there seemed to be a familiar glow.

The long burgundy hair is like a mellow red wine that has been cellared for many years, even if it is only revealed for a moment, it is enough to make people remember it and even linger.

"Nono ......"

Lu Mingfei muttered in disbelief, his mind cleared up from reverie, and the pace under his feet couldn't help but speed up a little.

The burgundy girl in a baseball cap walked in a hurry, seemed to be a little absent-minded, and occasionally bumped into a few passers-by, and did not say a word of apology.

Although the act of following Nuo Nuo would definitely be a violent beating if she was caught, Lu Mingfei couldn't let himself ignore an acquaintance he had finally met, not to mention that this acquaintance looked very strange.

His eyes were always chasing the figure, and at the same time, there were unspeakable doubts in his heart.

It's unimaginable that Nuo Nuo, who usually has a strong royal sister demeanor and likes to play tricks on people, would be so wolf bèi at some point, looking lost and depressed, which made Lu Mingfei seem to see his former self.

No, even if he is now, I'm afraid it may not be much better.

"Didi-"

The traffic was accompanied by the sound of horns blocking his vision, and in a trance, a red halo appeared on the other side of the road.

How...... Go so fast? Where to go? Why do you look so flustered?

The world stands still.

All kinds of vehicles slowly stop moving, the traffic lights no longer count the seconds, and the hurried footsteps of passers-by freeze when they are lifted into the air, maintaining impatient or calm expressions, and the stars on the LED billboards are connected to a tacit puppet show.

The color begins to fade.

Black, white and gray replace the colorful reality, the icy silence and the indifferent colors precipitate, shaking but without the sound of water - the water of time has been drained, and now all that remains is a school of dying fish. Perhaps, without the sound of breathing, you are not even eligible for near-death, and it is more appropriate to say that it is frozen fish.

Only a burgundy glow radiates warmth in the cold fairyland.

"Lu Mingze."

Lu Mingfei chewed these three words repeatedly, not flustered by the illegal situation in front of him. These three words are like a spell, omnipotent, and when they are spoken, something will appear.

So Lu Mingze, who was wearing a small black suit, really appeared.

"Wonderful inspiration, isn't it, brother?" He was still behind Lu Mingfei just now, and the next moment he moved to the center of the intersection. "The mediocre world is inherently colorless, colors are beautiful things, they don't deserve it. Only those things that are cherished will have their own color. ”

"What do you mean?"

Lu Mingfei's eyebrows were about to twist into a tangled ball, but Lu Mingze kept smiling, opened his arms, and made a hugging posture.

So the black, white and gray traffic surged again, and at a speed like a phantom, it passed through the phantom-like road Naruzawa. The flow of people is also intertwined to a frequency that is beyond the reach of the naked eye, one second there is still a middle-aged office worker around, and the next second it may be replaced by a young girl or a jumping child.

The red is still in place.

"Don't want to see it? Brother, it's better time than when you cowered and peeped in the crowd before. ”

With a smug and mocking smile, Lu Mingze pointed at the still Nono. Lu Mingfei hesitated for a while, and finally walked slowly across the road covered with black, white and gray phantoms.

"Take a look, take a good look. Otherwise, you may not be able to see it in the future. ”

Without waiting for Lu Mingfei to cross the road, he took Lu Mingfei to Nuno with another exaggerated teleportation. Lu Ming didn't have time to observe Nono, or because he was embarrassed, he tried to find out any signs of abnormality and disaster on the face of the little devil, but he was destined to find nothing.

"Want to know what's going to happen? I can tell you what has happened. ”

As if being manipulated by a magical force, Lu Mingfei actually moved his gaze to Nuo Nuo, instead of staring at Lu Mingze, who was suspicious and abnormal.

Less than a meter away, he could clearly observe Nono's faint dark circles under her eyes, and a few strands of hair that were still stubbornly curling out from under the white baseball cap, and her cheeks were unhealthy and pale because of her lack of energy and powder, which was distressing and greatly diminished her original charm.

Nono, who has always attracted the attention of many people, seems to be just an ordinary girl with long burgundy hair and good looks but no brilliance at the moment.

He didn't mind.

"Speaking of which, this matter is really a bit long, let's make a long story short, let's start with this text message that the flesh is numb and the death is not worth his life." Lu Mingze flipped his palm and conjured up a delicate mobile phone, and a wishing bottle ornament adorned on it made Lu Mingfei immediately understand whose mobile phone it was. He was honored that the charm was a small gift he gave her after her birthday, and it was a few dollars at the top of the store, and it was an honor for him to still hang it.

"It starts like this: 'I used to think that on the day I proposed to you, I would pretend to invite you to a deserted island for a vacation, and I would have my friends wait on ......the beach across the sea with thousands of fireworks.'"

Maybe this warm love story is some kind of ice-based forbidden spell? Lu Mingfei didn't know, but every time a word came out of Lu Mingze's mouth, he felt that his blood froze deeper.

Nono's phone, save such text messages.

It's clear who sent it.

He also wanted to convince himself that it was just a prank by someone, or a confessional text message from a rich boy he never knew, but he really had a hard time doing it.

Everyone knows that Caesar wrote novels to practice Chinese, and there was a special person who organized them to study and study President Caesar's writings together, and Lu Mingfei still remembered that he read it more than once with full praise, and he also asked the chairman of the wise and martial arts with a shy face to save the manuscript so that he could see it.

The style is so familiar.

As for bringing thousands of fireworks and pulling out a ring to propose as the night sky swept across the water, the style of the move could not be more familiar.

He slowly reached out his hand, trying to reach the only light in front of him that could warm him.

"Ouch, is this the rhythm of being domineering? Or is it that he finally can't hold back his lewd nature? Lu Mingze sneered lightly, not caring at all about Lu Mingfei's mood as a puddle of mud, "Look at yourself." ”

Lu Mingfei did so.

So he saw that in the midst of countless phantoms, his colorless body, suddenly reflected like a mirror, and the sidewalk reflected his decadent face more clearly.

There is no color.

"Who do you have to touch color? Unless you set yourself on fire and burst into flames. ”

Lu Mingze's eyes were extremely deep and quiet, without the domineering and magnificent gold, only a distorted black.

"You who have nothing, what else can you give but life? And life is perhaps the least valuable thing. It can only hit people when it burns, and then it will be penniless. ”

Lu Mingfei's fingers twitched unconsciously in the air a few times, and finally fell down decadently.

"Let's go. No matter where you go, don't covet anything you shouldn't deserve. ”

So he began to walk, began to walk like gray phantoms, began to shuttle through countless strange streets large and small, and began to sit quietly on the rooftops of every tall building with his legs down, and began to become a phantom within a phantom.

In the end, in an unknown underground passage, Lu Mingze looked at him sitting against the wall without saying a word.

The buddies who were singing and begging for life on the side looked at this decadent big boy strangely, as if they thought he was in conflict with his family, and ran out to be sad alone. patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, and after getting no response, he swept a chord without care, and continued to pluck the guitar and sing the song "Nanshan Nan".

"You're snowing in the southern sun

I was in the cold nights of the north all year round

If only it was too late before dark

I'm going to forget your eyes......"

Nono's eyes twitched slightly.

The stillness of the world here quietly reverts.

She stopped abruptly, in the steady and slow flow of people, in the sound of music from advertising screens, in the traffic that honked her horn and waited for the traffic light to count, trying to find a breath that seemed to be just far away.

No result.
