Chapter 17: Day 4: Present, Past, Future

"I'm afraid, we're no longer human."

After listening to Wang Lele's words, Qi You's steps forward suddenly paused, and then stayed in place. She tilted her little face slightly and looked at me, biting her lip and frowning between her eyebrows, her expression intertwined with contradiction and sadness.

I tried not to make more contact with Qi You's gaze, I turned my face away, raised my eyebrows unnaturally, suppressed the blockage in my throat, and tried to make my voice appear relaxed: "Hmm... No, even if it really happens, won't I still be with you? ”

“…… But I haven't been in a relationship yet. Wang Lele turned his head to look at me, "And going to the unknown with you, a big man, no matter how you think about it, I don't feel romantic at all." Don't you think so? ”

"What do I ...... Actually, I had my first love when I was in junior high school. ”

Hearing this, the haze on Wang Lele's face suddenly deepened.

"No, I mean: life is full of hope, we shouldn't think too much about it, we just need to live the present." I quickly changed my words.

"......" Wang Lele stared at me for a while, and then looked at Qi You, who was full of worry written on his cheeks beside him, and then he lowered his head and rubbed his face vigorously, and when he raised his head again, he was replaced by a much more pleasing smile: "That's right, maybe that person is an anomaly, maybe I'm thinking too much, haven't they all been played in "The Man in Black": There are many aliens living on the same planet as us." ”

"Uh-huh." Against my will, I replied, "Maybe the man didn't die, he just escaped in a way we can't understand, went to a strange place, and started his life all over again." While saying this, I also prayed in my heart that every alien being would be able to find a happy home in another parallel world after death.

"And yes." I took out the cigarette case and lighter, lit a cigarette, looked at Wang Lele and said: "You can write what happened to us today into the novel, and after your polishing, it will definitely form a very wonderful story." I'm sure many people are paying close attention to this mysterious event, and it will definitely bring your novel serialized post to the next level. ”

After hearing my proposal, Wang Lele's already sluggish expression suddenly shook, and his eyes under the lenses regained a bright luster, "Yes, I can record this incident." Even if something really happens to me in the future, someone will know the ins and outs of this incident, and maybe someone else will investigate this incident in the future. ”

"Yes, yes, the master may also record all this, print it out electronically, and burn it on your grave on the barren grass pile that is more than two meters high."

"you! Why is your mouth so bad? Wang Lele laughed and scolded and pushed me.

I can feel it: he is a person who really loves the online novel industry and has a sense of responsibility and perseverance, unlike me, who fishes for three days and dries nets for two days.

"Fix the thorns, give me a cigarette."

"Do you smoke it?"

"I can learn now."

"No, it's not a good habit."

"My parents don't bother to care about me, why are you doing so much, give it to me." Wang Lele stretched out his hand to me very recklessly.

I pursed my lips and took a cigarette out of my cigarette case and put it in his hand.

"Eh, why do you always smoke this fine cigarette, this is a lady's cigarette, right?" Wang Lele looked curiously at the mint-shaped Jinling 12 hairpins I put in his hand.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have a culture, you can learn slowly in the future, but you can't talk nonsense." I put the cigarette in his mouth, picked up the lighter, pressed the switch, and put it in front of his mouth, "Whoever told you that the fine cigarette must be a lady's cigarette." ”

Wang Lele nodded unconsciously, "Next, what should I do?" ”

"Inhale."

“……”

"yes, swallow that breath you sucked again."

“……”

"What's wrong?"

“…… Didn't suck it well. Wang Lele wrapped the cigarette holder in embarrassment.

"It's okay, then you suck more this time." I watched the tip of the cigarette be washed down by Wang Lele for a long time, and nodded, "Ok, suck it down again." ”

"Whew...... Ahem, ahem! What the hell is this! ”

In my disdainful gaze, Wang Lele coughed loudly and threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground.

"This, what's there to smoke!"

Wang Lele looked at me with small eyes that "I really can't understand you".

Well, as I expected.

Qi You giggled on the side.

For a while, I suddenly recalled my first smoking experience in my freshman year of high school-

At that time, there was an old brother in my dormitory, and whenever he came back to the dormitory after evening self-study, he would lock himself in the toilet and use one.

There is a saying that does not say: when a woman becomes curious about a man, then, it is not far from her fall.

I think the same applies to men. Oh, and I'm not talking about it, I'm saying: a person's habits and mantras tend to affect the people around him, especially among roommates.

So, I flattered myself into the bathroom, picked up his cigarette case on the washstand, and looked around it.

"What, do you want one?" The old man asked me.

I don't know why, I felt that his tone was full of contempt and disdain for me, so I replied stiffly: "Come on, you teach me." ”

"Hehe, okay, then I'll give you something."

Everyone knows that 'hehe' doesn't simply represent one or two laughs, it contains the speaker's contempt and contempt, which can basically be equated with S.B.

But who am I, I'm not Wang Lele's kind of novice, I said to him at the time: "Do you have a smaller cigarette, I'll try it." ”

The old brother was happy at the time, and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm Yuxi, the strength is huge and small, if you don't take a big bite, you don't feel it!" ”

If it were placed now, I would definitely give him a punch without hesitation, "Does Yuxi have any strength, don't you have a point in your heart?" ”

But the problem is that I really believed the innocent and kind person at the beginning - with curiosity and longing, I took the jade stream that the old brother lit for me, took a big sip, and then passed it all over my lungs......

I'll never forget how I stumbled out of the toilet and threw one of my slippers off, shook them three times, and landed on my other roommate's bunk bed, knocking my roommate's sketchboard away.

And, of course, the wonderful look on the face of the old man who came out of the toilet, and his big laugh like that of Curator Kim.

Black history, black history.

In the unexplained gaze of Wang Lele and Qi You, I first showed a heartfelt but embarrassed smile, and then suddenly made a face, a cold appearance possessed by gray leaves.
