Chapter 45: The Chamber of Secrets
Alcohol, why do people like to drink?
Watching Xiao Shuai pour wine cup by cup, I don't know why such a question popped up in my mind. Why do people like to drink? Why do you like to make your otherwise clear mind dizzy? Turning the original logical cognition into confusion and far-fetched? Is it an escape? Or is it self-solving?
"Why do people like to drink?"
"Why? Who knows, maybe it's just to prove that you're still alive. ”
In order to prove that he is still alive, this is Xiaoshuai's answer. Prove you're alive! Justified by confusion? I shook my head silently, maybe he drank too much, maybe I drank too much, or maybe I didn't ask anything, and he didn't say anything, as for this answer was simply my drunken hallucination.
Xiaoshuai drank too much and staggered when he left, I wanted to give it to him, but he waved his hand and signaled that I didn't have to send it. I sat down in my chair and watched him stagger out the door, and then I couldn't control it anymore and ran into the bathroom and vomited, only to feel better.
Why do people drink alcohol?
Wine, compared to wine, or tea is more suitable for me, a light of tea, just like life, cold and warm self-knowledge, sweet and bitter self-enjoyment.
After Xiaoshuai left, I made a pot of tea to relieve my drunkenness, the tea was left by Lu Xue when she moved away, I don't know if she did it intentionally or unintentionally, in short, she left a whole bag in the cabinet under the TV. I don't know much about tea, I don't know the so-called profound tea ceremony, and I can't taste the nuances of various teas like those refined connoisseurs. Tea, for me, has only one effect, and that is that it clears up the dizzy mind.
Tea, its sweetness is like dew, its light is like a pear, the branches are full of spring, and the moon is full in the heart of the sky.
I shook my head self-deprecatingly, as if I had discovered another tea job. After drinking the last cup of tea, I simply cleaned up my cup and prepared to go to bed, I still have to go to work tomorrow, yes, I have to go to work tomorrow.
I turned off the light, found a comfortable position on the bed, closed my eyes, relaxed the nerves tense because of dizziness, and then slowly entered the strange middle between reality and dream, the meaningless chaos that evolved in my mind, as long as I could fall asleep for a while, but then I heard a very light metal grinding sound.
I snapped my eyes open, still lying still, staring at where the sound was coming from. In the dimness, the door was gently slammed, and then a figure rushed in, and then closed the door gently, and then the figure skillfully turned on the light.
Luxue?! The person who came in turned out to be Luxue! She held the futon in her hand and turned around cautiously, "Ah! Xu saw that I was staring at her, and Lu Xue immediately let out an exclamation.
"Why are you here?" I looked at her and asked with a frown.
"That, that, Brother Xiaoshan hasn't slept yet?" Lu Xue squirmed and asked rhetorically.
"Well, if you hadn't come in, I think I would have fallen asleep."
"That, that, Brother Shan, can I spend the night here tonight?" Lu Xue lowered her head and asked softly as a mosquito, her face full of crimson.
I looked at her quietly, and didn't answer her, thinking that there must be a reason why she wanted to borrow the room.
"That, that, the little handsome guy didn't go, he was in Sister Zhou Ying's room, that, that, their voices were a little loud, so, so"
I looked at Lu Xue, who was a little flustered, frowned and thought about it, and nodded, "Okay." ”
"Thank you, Brother Xiaoshan, I'll sleep in the living room for one night, and I won't disturb you." Lu Xue hurriedly whispered thanks, her expression still a little flustered. I looked at her and suddenly felt a little confused, is she really Lu Xue? That girl who always has an elegant smile like an orchid? Maybe this is her, more real her, she is actually the same as her peers, she is also an ordinary girl who will be flustered, shy, and nervous when she encounters problems. So why does she always smile? Why does her smile always reveal the taste of happiness?
I shook my head, dispelled my boring thoughts, looked at her and said lightly, "Come to bed, I'll leave you half a bed." ”
"That"
"You don't roll over when you sleep, do you?"
"Nope."
"That's good."
Fortunately, when renting the house, the landlord left a double bed, and if it was a single person, then Lu Xue could really only sleep on the floor of the living room.
I lay on my side, facing the wall, leaving half a bed for Luxue. Lu Xue laid out her futon, turned off the light, and gently climbed into bed. Perhaps it was my delusion, and I felt a slight tremor in her movements.
Why didn't Xiaoshuai go back? Why did you run to Zhou Ying's room again? Why didn't Zhou Ying refuse? Maybe it's like the secret room effect. I thought.
The secret room effect is to say that there is such an experiment in which a girl with a boyfriend stays in a secret room with an old professor. At first, the girl didn't have any feelings for the old professor, but then she slowly found that she was unconsciously in love with the old professor.
The secret room effect, after people are trapped in a simple and boring life that repeats itself, after experiencing the torture of boredom and mania, they often have an intersection with the nearest person, the most primitive and violent emotional outburst.
I think maybe Xiaoshuai and Zhou Ying, neither of them has forgotten each other, and they regard each other as imaginary conversation partners in the dead of night.
I let out a soft sigh against the wall. Maybe it was because he heard my voice, and the dew snow behind him somehow exhaled a long breath, which was blowing on my neck, and the cold hairs on my neck stood up instantly.
"Can you turn around and sleep? I have a little itch in my neck. I didn't look back, I asked calmly.
"That, Brother Xiaoshan, can I not turn around? I'm afraid of the dark. Lu Xue behind her said a little shy and embarrassed, I shook my head gently, she is a girl after all, although she tried her best to hide it, but she could still hear the nervousness and dependence in her voice.
The secret room effect, people will always look for the easiest target to find in a difficult situation to express their emotions and dependence, so as to relieve their tense nerves.
The Secret Room Effect, the experiment went on for a month, and after a month, the girl came out, and when she remembered the experience in the secret room, she began to be afraid and blamed herself.
The secret room effect, when people get out of the predicament, they will abandon it, forget the past, and silently ignore what happened.
The secret room effect, I shook my head, stopped thinking about it, closed my eyes, and fell asleep in a daze. Yes, I fell asleep, in the past, as long as there were living creatures around me, I couldn't really fall asleep, and the so-called sleep was only half-asleep, even in dormitory 216 at school, but this time I really fell asleep, and I slept very deeply, very fragrantly, I think it may be because I drank alcohol.
When I woke up the next day, I found that I had turned around at some point, and Lu Xue was lying across from me, smiling at me, and I heard her whisper, "Good morning." ”
The secret room effect, I realized it a long time later, the secret room effect also indicates that what others can do, you can also do, although later, you may try your best to ignore or even forget this past, but when people recall this past, they will still feel happy.
Yes, happiness.
