The Golden Hall was surrounded by fires, the flames in the fireplace burned vigorously, the tongues of fire climbed up the Christmas tree, licking the dome of the hall happily, the ears were filled with beautiful music, people were dancing with the flames on the dance floor, men kissing women drunkly, and the dance steps under their feet were tapping more and more as if they were going to dance to hell.

"Run, run faster, don't look back." Said the girl with blood on her face.

The little boy squatted on the ground, his face a little dazed, and he looked around, his eyes reflected in the monstrous fire.

The girl sat in the middle of the hall and covered her abdomen, blood gushed out, and the little boy stuck to it and tried to help him hold the wound, but the girl pushed him away and sat down on the ground and said angrily: "Didn't you hear? I'll let you go! ”

The little boy was frightened, he had always listened to the girl, and he was most afraid that the girl would be angry.

When the girl saw the frightened boy on the ground but didn't move, her expression softened and said, "Come here." ”

The little boy crawled over without hesitation, the girl reached out and touched his face, the blood remained on his cheek, warm, a little sticky, the girl said softly: "I'm going to die, everyone here is going to die, but you're different, you can escape from here, I don't blame you for leaving me, it's an accident that you're here now, so let's go, don't wait, you've always listened to me, haven't you?" You will do whatever I tell you to do, and you will die if I let you die, but I want you to go now, and if you wait any longer, you really won't be able to go. ”

The burning Christmas tree had fallen, crushing a few dancing men and women underneath, and the Golden Hall was still singing and dancing, and no one panicked, they turned a blind eye to all the catastrophes, as if only the two most abnormal people, the girl and the boy, were normal.

The little boy looked at the girl and shook his head, he said that he would not leave.

"Didn't you say you were willing to do three things for me?" The girl looked at the little boy and suddenly said, "Now it's time to fulfill your promise, I want you to turn away from me, run away, and never come back." ”

There was hesitation on the little boy's face, but he still didn't move, and his blood-soaked hand shaking as he held the girl.

"Didn't I say, after tonight you will be a man, a man will always keep his promise, promise me, okay?" The girl reached out and stroked the little boy's forehead and smiled.

The little boy looked at the girl blankly before he nodded.

"Very good, worthy of my manhood." The girl put her arms around the little boy's head, kissed him on the forehead, and pushed him hard, and the boy stumbled and fell to the ground and rushed towards the door of the Golden Hall without looking back.

"Run! Run faster! Don't look back, run all the way to the garden where the spring flowers are blooming! The girl shouted loudly as she watched the little boy ride on his back in the flames.

The little boy was really running fast, and there seemed to be wind under his feet, and no obstacle could stop him, and finally he broke through the curtain of flames and disappeared into the door of the hall.

The girl sat in a pool of blood and looked in the direction where the boy had disappeared for a long time, until she was sure that he would not come back, her clenched fists relaxed slightly, and the strength of her body was completely removed, and she collapsed to the ground at once.

"Sure enough, it's really fast." It wasn't until the end that a relieved expression appeared on the girl's face, and she muttered with a smile.

Over her head, the beams of the house collapsed, and the flames engulfed everything.

Lin Nian opened his eyes, and there was the repeated ticking sound of the alarm clock in his ears, and the alarm on the bedside table showed that it was now 7:00AM, and the light in the room was dim.

Outside the curtains, the sky was slightly bright, and the sound of cleaners sweeping the floor on the street was clear to the ears.

He had nightmares again.

...

...

...

At 8:30 a.m., in front of the Regent Hotel, Lin Nian and Lin Xian stood side by side, looking at the waiters coming and going in the glass door with a little hesitation.

It is said that if you want to judge whether a couple has the strength, the best way is to see if they can put a few tables in the Regent Hotel, and if the strength is excellent, compare the number of hotel floors under the package.

Lin Nian has never been to this kind of hotel, in his impression that the nature of the hotel and the hostel is almost the same, but the difference is that one has an LCD TV and air conditioning and the other does not, but I heard the students in the class who have lived in a star-rated hotel say that the gap between the two is actually quite large, at least the disposable toothpaste brands in the star-rated hotels are Colgate.

In the end, Lin Xian took the first step, mainly because the two sisters and brothers had been standing at the door for too long, and it was easy to be speculated that they were thieves with bad intentions stealing ideas, and there were rich and powerful people in this CBD area, and the relative petty theft was also endless, and after a while, there were passers-by who looked at the two of them like thieves.

Entered the Regent Hotel, sat in the sofa area and waited, Lin Xian specially asked for leave to accompany Lin Nian today, a rare rest, Lin Nian held the mobile phone and kept poking the screen, like the usual young people, with a mobile phone, he naturally couldn't be idle, and the built-in traffic was more, so he simply hung the QQ diving voyeur screen class group.

Some people in the class group were talking about tonight's dinner early in the morning, some people said that the drinks in the hot pot restaurant were not authentic, and they had to bring their own beer and Luzhou Laojiao, and some people said that they had recently become popular, and they hoped that someone could help bring a box of watermelon cream to clear the heat.

"May I ask if it's Mr. Lin Nian and Miss Lin Xian?" After a while, the polite waiter came down from the elevator not far away and walked straight in front of Lin Nian and asked.

"Yes." Lin Nian put away his mobile phone and stood up, and Lin Xian, who didn't sleep well last night, also stood up awake.

"Professor Manstein has been waiting for a long time at the VIP bar on the ninth floor, please come with me if you are ready." The waiter explained after confirming the identities of the two.

Lin Nian and Lin Xian glanced at each other, they didn't expect the admissions office of the American school to be so considerate, and even took breakfast into account together, but the two of them had already eaten soy milk fritters in the morning, cheap and affordable, and ten yuan could solve the problem for a meal.

Follow the waiter to the VIP elevator all the way to the ninth floor, the elevator door has just opened, an old man wearing retro monocles is already standing at the door, looking at Lin Nian in the elevator, smiling and saying, "Lin Nian, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"You must be Professor Manstein, right? Your Chinese is as good as Miss Mandy. "It's hard for Lin Nian not to notice the old man's baldness at first sight, in a rude phrase, it's 'shiny and shiny', and for no reason it adds a little harshness to the old man.

All in all, first impressions aren't bad.

"Gerd Rudolf Manstein, just call me Professor Manstein, I think Mandy has also briefly introduced our college to you, Chinese is a compulsory course in our college, considering your native language, your foreign language courses in the school can be exempted from taking full grade points." Professor Manstein stretched out his hand to shake Lin Nian's hand, and then did not forget to say hello to Lin Xian and shook hands: "This is Lin Nian's sister, I'm glad you can accompany you to the interview." ”

"It's an honor for us to sit down with your school." Lin Xian is not very old, but he also understands a lot of communication skills early, and he shakes hands with Professor Manstein to show enough politeness and respect.

"Have you had breakfast? Do you want to be together? Professor Manstein invited the two out of the elevator and walked to the edge of the VIP bar, where a girl with blonde hair and a beautiful face had already been seated, and it was Mandy, who had been in contact with Lin Nian a few days ago, and showed a polite smile when she saw Lin Nian.
