Chapter 2: The Forgotten Man
Handing over Xie Wei, who may have turned pale due to the heat cold, to her roommate, Cheng Wulin walked out of the fresh drink shop that closed early.
Passing by the office building where the student union is located, he subconsciously walked up the stairs and stopped again.
He's no longer there...... Cheng Wulin thought sadly.
Wang Luli has been captured by the chess pieces for ten days. After that, Cheng Wulin didn't say a word to Tu Tingting and them, and went back to the nether realm directly.
He thought that he would see Wang Luli, and thought that Wang Luli in the future would stand outside the gate of Xujiahui Catholic Church with him, and say nothing to him with a smile.
However, when he opened his eyes, he only saw that he was alone, and there was Wang Luli's shadow there.
Lost his soul and returned to school, he met Tu Tingting, who had been waiting for him at the door of the dormitory.
The other party seemed to know what he was thinking, and directly told him the two reasons why Wang Luli disappeared.
One is dead.
The second is that the sealer has been removed.
In both cases, the person's existence would conflict with the nether timeline. Just like the ginkgo island master of Jing Cong Garden, he will be forgotten by this world, all traces of him in the world will be erased, and the ordinary people around him will gradually forget him.
"Write his name on a piece of paper, and you'll forget his name in a few days." Tu Tingting asked a little uncomfortably.
After that, Cheng Wulin went to Wang Luli's dormitory, where it was as if there had never been such a person. Wang Luli's books, bedding, clothes, shoes, washbasins, toiletries...... It's all gone.
"Where's the stuff here?" At that time, he angrily grabbed Xu Fei's clothes and asked.
"What's that? Something wrong with you, right? There were only three people in our dormitory! Xu Fei pushed him away, looking at him like looking at a neurotic.
Hehe......
Don't you even leave me with a thought...... It's so selfish......
Wang Luli ......
Cheng Wulin grabbed the small note in his pocket, and a sad look appeared on his face.
When the bell rang for the end of class, students from other colleges poured out of the teaching building next to him, talking and laughing past him.
None of them would have known that there was one less student in this school.
The noise was getting farther and farther away from his consciousness in his mind.
Cheng Wulin felt out of place standing in the crowd, those people were colorful, and he had lost his color.
It's like an oil painting with a hole burned by a cigarette butt.
Airplanes. The phone in his pocket shook. When I took it out, it was Li Dayong's message.
"Don't you really think about going to the freshman art show? There are comprehensive test scores, which are linked to scholarships. ”
Cheng Wulin crackled and typed and refused: "I'm not in the mood, don't get on." ”
“……”
Freshman Art Show......
Cheng Wulin directly adjusted the airplane mode, and then put the phone back in his pocket. In this case, how can he be in the mood to participate in such an event.
The thought of singing on the guitar without the shadow of that person in the audience made him feel a pain in his chest.
Even playing basketball couldn't divert his thoughts about Wang Luli.
Cheng Wulin touched the band-aid on his face. Yesterday at noon, he played ball with his classmates, just received the ball from Dong Yi, and inadvertently glanced at the sidelines, and saw that the back of a boy was very similar to Wang Luli.
"Glue, what's wrong with you these two days, how do you feel lost and depressed? What's wrong? Dong Yi put him aside and asked worriedly.
"I ......," he said, unable to speak.
"If you have any sadness, just talk to your brothers......"
"Hmm." He dodged his gaze and dealt perfunctorily.
How do you understand......
Walking aimlessly around the campus for a while, he found that he had walked in front of the tennis court.
Sitting on the bench that both he and Wang Luli liked to sit on, his mind fell into a blank again.
From afternoon to dusk, the sun sets and sets below the ground. When it was dark and the lights were on, he rubbed his hungry and twitching stomach, and lay on the back of the bench, staring at the only dim star above him.
The weekend has passed like this, and tomorrow is another day of class, and I have to spend a day full of things to do but extremely boring, listening to the class without Wang Luli taking notes carefully by his side.
His mind went back to the days before.
"How many degrees do you have? Why don't I usually see you wearing it? ”
Cheng Wulin stared at the glasses that Wang Luli had put on for half a class, and finally waited for the break between classes, and reached out to snatch the glasses.
"200, it's not high, I'm usually too lazy to wear it, I don't like to press my nose." Wang Luli closed the note, rubbed his eyes, supported his forehead with his fist, and looked at him with a smile.
"Come here." Cheng Wulin cautiously pushed his glasses up on the bridge of Wang Luli's nose, "It's very good-looking, but I don't feel used to it." ”
Wang Luli adjusted himself: "Well, if the degree is low, it doesn't have much impact if you don't wear it, except for class, you don't need to wear it, and you will occasionally wear invisibility." ”
"Invisibility? Do you wear it when you go to the camera? ”
"Black Rock City just brought ...... that time"
"You don't tell me this......" Cheng Wulin feigned anger, don't look around.
"This ...... It doesn't matter......" Wang Luli snorted haha.
"You didn't even tell me...... There will be a penalty for this! Cheng Wulin smiled evilly.
"What are you going to do...... Wang Luli seemed to be smiling, and stepped back, but he was still defeated by Cheng Wulin, and was pressed by Cheng Wulin on the seat next to him and tickled.
In my memory, Wang Luli's plea for mercy gradually faded away, as if it came from the other side of the underground pipeline.
Why didn't I cherish my life back then......
Cheng Wulin reached out to wipe away the tears on his cheeks.
Wang Luli's smiling face became more and more blurred, and gradually turned into a bright ball, like a glass that had been fumigated by water vapor, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Why are you still here?"
A voice called him out of his memory. Cheng Wulin looked up and saw Su Haoxuan, who was carrying a tennis bag, standing in front of him.
Su Haoxuan stepped on the armrest of the bench and pressed down on Cheng Wulin: "I came to play tennis in the afternoon, and I went to take a shower and eat after playing, and came back, are you still sitting here......"
"You...... Afternoon is there? ”
"yes, you ignored me when I greeted you." Su Haoxuan tapped his finger on Cheng Wulin's chest, "Look at WeChat, Dong Yi said that he couldn't get through after hundreds of calls to you." ”
"I turned on airplane mode...... Cheng Wulin reached for his phone and took out a note in his pocket. He was just about to reach out to pick it up, but Su Haoxuan picked up the note one step ahead of him.
"Wang Luli ......" By the street light, Su Haoxuan squinted his eyes and read the name on the note, "Who is this?" ”
Cheng Wulin took it and looked at it, looked at it for a long time, and finally shook his head blankly.
"I don't know."
