When he dreamed back at midnight, Ling Huang fell asleep, so he walked to the activity square in front of the office building, and passed the dormitory building on the way back.

In the past, people who had been busy all day had already fallen asleep, so there was no light except for the sensor lights in the hallways.

Tonight, however, broke the norm.

Ling Huang noticed that there were a few rays of light faintly shining through the room at the end of the first floor. Even though the curtains were closed, it couldn't cover it all.

He suddenly remembered that it seemed to be Xu Xuanxuan's bedroom. Stand silently outside the door for a few seconds, knocking on the door.

"Wait, I'll be right away." The interior people replied. The handle turned, and the door opened, "Mr. Ling?" Are you here ...... so late? ”

"Nothing. I happened to be passing by, and when I saw that the lights were still on, I stopped by to have a look. ”

“…… You come in first. Xu Xuanxuan said as he gave way.

"You live alone?" After entering the door, Ling Huang was able to see the layout of the room. The dormitory is not large, and the walls are full of books. In addition, there is only Xu Xuanxuan. The night light was not extinguished on the long wooden table next to the bed, and the orange light was impartially sprinkled on the information book below. "You're a senior this year, aren't you? If you are preparing for graduate school entrance examination...... It's nice that no one is bothered. ”

"The seniors in the company took good care of me, and they specially arranged it for me." Xu Xuan shook his head and smiled.

"I heard that you had the opportunity to go abroad as an exchange student, the University of Toronto, right? It has a high prestige and influence in the world...... Why did you give up? ”

"No, the family's financial conditions don't allow it...... Our school does not have a mandatory internship, I was forced by life to come out as soon as possible to make a living haha. He said, turning another page from the information book in hand.

"Speaking of which, since you are studying at Peking University, wouldn't it be nice to have a job in the capital area? There is no need to consider the land price at all for corporate accommodation...... How? ”

"The main reason is that I have been longing for Luoyang, the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, for a long time, and I happen to have such an opportunity to ......" Xu Xuanxuan thought carefully and answered truthfully. Well...... Mr. Ling is just here tonight to talk to me about his life ideals and about the ups and downs? ”

"Well, by the way, I'll ask you why you are asserting your ideas at this morning's meeting...... Didn't you think about the possible consequences? If I don't come forward to defend you......"

"Because...... I learned that it wasn't the first time that the company had sent a representative, and it wasn't good to delay it for too long, so ...... I have mild obsessive-compulsive disorder um. ”

"What I can understand about young people's blood is just ...... You should be clear about your position, it's not very good to be sharp. Ling Huang looked at the other party squarely and said seriously, "But you did solve this long-standing problem for me, but the way is not appropriate...... Let's count it as a merit offset. ”

Xu Xuanxuan finished reading the information book at hand, classified it into the completed part of the book, and opened a new one after tidying up. "I see that you are about the same age as me, why do you speak so old-fashioned?"

Ling Huang finally realized the problem. In the past in the elven world, he was used to thinking of himself as an elder, isn't this the tone of his speech to juniors? But he ignored the reality, after all, he is the same as Xu Xuanxuan now, but he is only a young man in his early twenties......

"Maybe it's older......" he could only barely come up with a reasonable reason. It's true that there is a lack of confidence...... Think about how long the other party is still interning when he turns 20 years old, so how long can he be two or three years older?

"Shoot yourself in the foot hahahahaha...... Yes, Mr. Ling! "I don't know when the Emperor of the Apocalypse appeared mercilessly taunted online.

Ling Huang really didn't want to anger a certain snakeskin emperor in front of Xu Xuanxuan, because in the eyes of mortals, his behavior was tantamount to being angry at the air, and he was stupid. Forced by obscenity, he had no choice but to say goodbye as respect: "What's that...... Don't bother anymore and rest early. ”

"You walk slowly." Xu Xuanxuan stood at the door, watching the other party leave.

"Why are you so good-looking......" The Emperor of the Apocalypse leaned over and stroked the face of the person in front of him with his fingers - even though he knew that he couldn't touch it at all, "It's a pity." ”

“…… Who? Xu Xuanxuan suddenly spoke.

He was frightened and hurriedly left the scene as if he was afraid of the crime and absconded.

Xu Xuanxuan didn't have time to think about it, he just thought that he was sleepy and hallucinated. That's all for tonight...... Retreat indoors, turn off the lights and prepare to rest, but unexpectedly the phone rang.

"Brother, I can't sleep...... So harassing you is coming. The boy on the other end of the phone whispered, "I'm already on vacation, how about you?" When are you going home? ”

"I'm sorry. I'm ...... this year I won't go back. This answer is like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the flame of expectation on the spot.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time...... However, it did not hang up.

In desperation, Xu Xuanxuan had no choice but to continue to speak: "Please tell my father, and by the way, say a few greetings on my behalf...... I am here to say Happy New Year in advance. And, I've got the tuition for the next semester into your card, work hard, you know? Although your school is not a heavy book, it is also a good one, and I hope you can succeed in your studies and live up to everyone's expectations. Sophomore...... The matter of cultivation is put aside for the time being, and the completion of studies is the top priority. ”

"I don't need you to sponsor my schooling, money can never be worth it. I just want your company, why is it so difficult......"

“…… Well, make a promise, I'll go back when you graduate from college. After much deliberation, he came up with a condition that was not too excessive.

"There are more than two years to go...... But you've been out for nearly four years! Two months ago, my coming-of-age ceremony, you can't pull away, but ...... You haven't even done the most basic communication. Is that how I stand in your heart...... Insignificant? You tell me why, why the hell...... Are you angry that I didn't see you off when you were going to college......? I was wrong, I really knew I was wrong! Please come back soon......"

"How so...... I've been with you for almost your entire childhood, haven't I? It's not too early...... That's it for now, good night. With that, Xu Xuanxuan ended the call. He lay on his back on the bed, moistening his eyes, not the usual taste in his heart.

I dreamed back at midnight and couldn't sleep all night.
