Chapter 22: The Night is Quiet
Three o'clock in the middle of the night.
I was picked up by the dry air, scratched my sweaty head, crawled out of bed in a daze to find water to drink, a few sips of cold water under the stomach, a little coolness made me sober up a lot, turned my head to look around, the thin man and the beard still fought in their respective games, in the dimly lit dormitory, only their helmet indicator light faintly flashed fluorescent, I shook my head and smiled at these two living treasures, turned my head to look at Ah Liu, only to find that there was no one on his bed, only the messy thin blanket was lifted aside.
Well?
The bathroom light is not on, Ah Liu should not be in the toilet, so where did he run in the middle of the night?
Curiosity has always been strong, I gently put down the cup, tiptoed towards the door, and slowly poked the dormitory door with my finger, and the hidden door shook slightly as I expected.
"It's broken! Could it be that Zhao Buji's deflated calf called Ah Liu out in the middle of the night!"
Thinking about bedtime events, such a terrible thought came to my mind.
Ah Liu is a calm person, if this is the case, he will definitely not think about alarming us all, but will deal with Zhao Buji alone.
I slowly opened the door of the dormitory, poked out the tip of my head to observe the situation outside the corridor, to my surprise, Ah Liu was indeed in the corridor, but was not called out by Zhao Buji's bullying, but alone in simple pajamas looking out of the window at the end of the corridor, a bright cluster of cigarette butts flickered between his fingers.
Because the sound of the movement was relatively subtle, the voice-activated light in the corridor was not awakened by me, and I was puzzled, so I squatted on the edge of the door and quietly watched Ah Liu drinking tea alone and lonely.
Since he was not called out by Zhao Buji to "talk", Ah Liu must have something on his mind when he ran outside in the middle of the night.
"Could it be? He is still undecided about Teacher Xiaoling? ”
A flash of light flashed through my mind, and an evil smile was fixed on the corner of my mouth, since this matter is so eye-catching, then, it is reasonable for me to secretly observe it here!
"You damn gentle ......"
When I was reverie in my mind about the various scenes of love and hatred between Ah Liu and Teacher Xiaoling, Ah Liu's mobile phone ringtone in the distance suddenly remembered, the voice-activated light was suddenly turned on, and the suddenly bright vision startled me, and I quickly pulled back my head, but the corner of my eye hit the edge of the inner wall heavily, fortunately, the sound was not too loud, Ah Liu did not find me hiding in the dark and watching, so I covered the corners of my eyes, endured the tears of pain, and still persistently listened to Ah Liu's conversation.
"Well, yes, Uncle Hao explained to me on the phone just now...... ......mmmmmm......mm Okay, I understand ......, yes,...... Well, I'm sorry for you to bother over there...... and please rest assured, everything is ...... on my side, uh-huh,...... Yes...... Good ......, good ....... ”
Ah Liu's tone was low, but it was full of respect, and he was calmly answering the various words on the other end of the phone.
Ah Liu's calm and gentle and too restrained and polite tone, I couldn't help but think of the scene on the day of school, the cool sun was the head, constantly complaining about me, sweating profusely carrying a large bag and small wraps brought by the family, following the old lady in casual clothes behind the mouth to hold her mouth, the old sister held a small fan to cover the sun, while scolding me for being a lazy pig, while helping me fill in the cumbersome procedures around with a knife mouth tofu heart, the two of them sweated in the neck, under the enthusiastic guidance of a group of volunteers composed of "courteous" student union seniors, I went through the admission process smoothly.
When I arrived at the door of the dormitory building, the old lady smiled generously and thanked the lovely juniors, and bought a cold soda for them as a thank you gift, and I smiled stupidly behind her, while viciously despise this group of seniors who take the initiative when they see beautiful women.
The old lady who successfully sent me here, because she had to take a step forward in her work, and the group of womanizers also hugged me to see off my old sister, leaving me alone with my luggage and packages, struggling to talk about my mother's sales of batches, and found the dormitory alone.
And these bastards also slowly understood the fate that made me unhappy in the later days, some of the rich second generation officials who took a fancy to my sister, on the day of school, they only cared about rushing to work and were courteous, so that they wanted to inquire about the contact information of the old sister afterwards, but found that they didn't know who the person my old sister led on the day of school started......
And then from then on, I swore that I would keep my own information confidential to the extreme, and I would die of you people who don't know Taishan, hum!
Pushing open the brand-new security door of the dormitory, the kind of leisurely scene described by the high school teacher on the bed and off the table came into my eyes as promised.
On the edge of the bed on the left, a thin classmate was cleaning up the toiletries by the bed, and the simple parents next to him kept telling him about various matters, while holding some change wrapped in a handkerchief in his hand, and he was shy to respond to the worried parents, with a thin body and a well-behaved face, he was a sensible and good child at first glance.
On the edge of the bed outside, a tall, stubble-covered classmate smiled and tidied things up, scratching his head and stupidly happy expressions made the two slightly blessed uncles and aunts next to him pat their shoulders with confidence, and their parents delivered many things word by word, while the stubble classmate's smiling eyes narrowed, and at first glance it was a harmless stupid big man.
Only the bed on the side of my bed number on the right, a handsome guy from another dimension leaning on the bed with a painting style that is not at all like us, with his chin in his left hand and a copy of "Song Ci" in his right hand as if no one was admiring it, and his bed has been neatly cleaned up, and there are no elders like us who are worried about nagging on the side, only he is leaning on the side beautifully.
…… Relying on instinctive judgment, I didn't have a good impression of this kind of person at first sight......
Out of politeness, I shook hands with the skinny classmate to show cordiality, and his parents also talked cordially, on the other side, the parents of the stubble classmate saw that we were a group of happy people, and also pulled their sons over to let us get acquainted with each other, and let us urge each other and learn from each other, although everyone laughed more or less too perfunctory, but also eased the atmosphere that should have been stiff.
Only the cold handsome guy, he did not deliberately come to get acquainted with us, but just had something to go out, so he got up and got out of bed, came over by the way and talked to us a few words, and then went out politely, different from our ordinary chat style, his sentences are more like high-end people who have received etiquette training, and just the same as on the phone, and the beautiful voice and humble sentence pattern, the meaning of politeness is very subtle, but it is this kind of restraint, but it gives people an invisible estrangement.
Thoughts gradually retracted, the innocent and skinny classmate now reveals his obscene nature, the honest and simple stubble classmate also reveals his brutal and ruthless face, and the cold and handsome classmate has also transformed into a stuffy, sassy, lewd, and cheap stupid person.
It's just me! Never changed! Don't forget the original intention! As always! Put integrity and kindness! Punish the evil and promote the good! Gentle and generous! Chic and handsome! And so on and so forth, these advantages! All immaculate! Dripping! Methodical! Give it all!!
- all of them have been circumvented......
It's rare to find someone as persistent and consistent as me.
"Whew~!"
In the corridor outside the door, a long spitting sound of smoke was stretched for a long time with a sullen mood.
Well--, it seems that Ah Liu has encountered a tricky matter, otherwise someone who is so optimistic and pessimistic to him should not have such a sad tone.
I turned around and wanted to poke my head out to see Ah Liu's situation, but I met Ah Liu's handsome face around the corner.
"I'll go! Why don't you make a sound when you walk!"
I was startled and exclaimed, clutching my heart and beating it uncontrollably.
Under the dim light of the corridor, Ah Liu had a villain's smile on his face, "That's my fault, I should have a more terrifying expression, so that I can kill people by the way!"
In the tone of the joke, there was no longer the lengthy sigh just now.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and since Ah Liu is so deliberately avoiding his own private affairs, then if I still ask more questions at this time, it will be very unemotional.
"Wow, what are you doing in the middle of the night, I just came out of the toilet, and I saw that the door was not closed, and I just wanted to close the door, and by the way, I saw if someone came in, and it turned out to make you scared half to death."
With a pompous expression, I made a reason to try to give the two of them a step down.
"It's nothing, isn't it afraid that you will choke on smoking, so I went out to smoke, and by the way, I breathed."
"Wow! Do you have such a high level of awareness? ”
"With the content of this consciousness, take it out and put it on the scale, half a ton more than you."
"I rub!? Are you so brazen? ”
"Anyway, what's going on with your eyes, is it that you are peeping into the women's toilet and have a needle's eye?"
"I'll your ......"
……
The joke can be stopped, it is time to sleep or sleep, back to the bed, Ah Liu above his head lay down without a sound, I don't know if I fell asleep, but I can't sleep as if I have some major secret.
Messy thoughts, I don't know when I started, I always feel that there are a lot of invisible troubles in my carefree life, cut constantly, sort out and mess, no matter how I want to break my head, I don't know where these troubles come from, I can't study them, and it's hard to speak.
"Xiaoyu."
I was thinking about a lot of things, but I was suddenly pulled back to reality by Ah Liu's soft shout.
"What's wrong? Isn't it panicking? Wait a minute, I'll find you a website~"
With a "we all know" smile, I reached out and grabbed my phone.
"Have you ever thought about your parents?"
While my hands were still fumbling around the pillow, Ah Liu's question of being out of place with the atmosphere interrupted my movements.
"Uh......, six, are you homesick?"
I got up and looked at him, who was lying there with his eyes closed, as if he were talking in a sleep.
"......, go to bed early."
The topic that should have been carried on naturally came to an abrupt end, leaving only the slight breathing sound of Ah Liu.
"Uh,...... Oh,......"
Confused by Ah Liu's unusual words, I slowly sat up and opened half of the curtains, letting the slightly dim moonlight outside hit half of my bed, hoping to let the slightly brighter light ease my anxiety, the hot summer is always boring.
