Chapter 1: It's Not an Ordinary Day

Next Chapter

When I first opened it, the sun had already set down on the mountainside, and an orange-red sunset reflected the sky like an oil painting. In the distance, the factory was still emitting turbid air into the sky, and the flock of birds seemed to be hovering in the air on purpose, drawing circles one after another.

Ma Rui, who was lying on his side on the bed, squinted his eyes at the glimmer of light that came through the gap in the curtains. This couldn't help but make him frown. Then he reluctantly touched the phone pressed under the pillow.

The screen lit up, and a gray light was cast onto his face.

"It's four o'clock." Marley muttered, then closed his eyes again.

Today was the first Sunday of his sophomore year's summer vacation, and according to the original plan, he should have gone to find a summer job three days ago, but the plan always couldn't match his sleepiness of waking up every day.

Apparently today I was crushed by procrastination again.

After closing his eyes again for a while, he finally made up his mind to open them.

There was a bit of dryness in the mouth with a hint of bitterness.

He picked up the black glass on the bedside table, which still had a little water left from the previous night. He poured it down without hesitation.

The cold liquid reached the stomach, and the refreshment along the way was indescribable.

At this time, the mobile phone that had just been put down vibrated and made a "zizi" sound, and the screen lit up, and a message popped up on it.

He glanced down and sighed, "It's time to pay the rent again." ”

Although Ma Rui is a sophomore, he does not live on campus, but shares a two-bedroom apartment with a couple two kilometers from the school.

The environment of the school dormitory was like hell on earth for him, and he once lived in a "fairyland" where day and night were reversed and smoky, and the mere thought of it made his scalp tingle.

After sitting on the bed for a short moment, he rubbed his greasy cheeks, picked up a white T-shirt and dark blue shorts with his gloves and got out of bed.

As he approached the door, he put one hand on the doorknob, his ears stood up alertly, and there seemed to be a humming sound from the next room.

Ma Rui shook his head, for the excitement when he first moved in, he was now accustomed to the couple next door, and even listening to the doorknob had become his daily habit of waking up.

This seems a little perverted, but in fact it is also out of helplessness, after all, the sound insulation of this kind of cheap decoration house is really not very good.

After a moment's pause, Marley walked out of the room and plunged into the bathroom to start washing.

He doesn't know much about this couple, except for the necessary meeting and greeting on weekdays, there is almost no intersection, he only knows that they are also students, the boy is currently working in the summer vacation, the kind that goes out early and returns late, and he usually sees the girl staying alone in the room playing with her mobile phone, or watching TV in the living room.

Today's boy not going to work should be the reason for Sunday. I didn't expect a summer job to have a day off, so it's a good job.

Ma Rui spit out foam, his mouth was filled with the cool feeling of mint, after rinsing his mouth repeatedly, he rinsed the toothbrush and tooth cup at the same time, and then began to put water in the basin, he looked at himself in the dressing mirror, and felt that he was not bad, how could he not have a girlfriend.

No, it should be that my vision is too high, and I can't look down on ordinary mundane things. Besides, can a girlfriend have a game fragrance? Except when he needs to, he will only mumble the rest of the time, and he really feels sorry for the boy when he thinks about it.

Thinking of this, Ma Rui reached out and touched his beard, it seemed to be a little prickly again, but it was not to the point where he had to shave it off.

The water from the faucet seemed to have prostatitis, and he didn't put much water in the basin for a long time, so Ma Rui could only watch dryly.

At this time, the door of the bathroom was pushed open with a "bang", and Ma Rui was surprised.

The girl was even more surprised, but still lowered her voice and said, "Why didn't you turn on the lights, you didn't even lock the door, I thought there was no one." ”

"It's not dark yet." Ma Rui blurted out, her eyes unconsciously glanced at the girl's lower body, she didn't seem to be wearing pants, just a slightly loose T-shirt, roughly covering up, but still revealing a faint feeling.

The two snow-white slender legs are particularly conspicuous.

The girl seemed to feel embarrassed, and her hands were not only wrong to cover up, but hurriedly said:

"Then you can get it first." With that, she turned to go back to her room.

"No, no, I'm fine." Ma Rui quickly dragged the towel, dipped a little water on the towel, quickly rubbed his face, and then poured out the water, the whole action was done in one go, and finally walked out of the bathroom as if he was escaping.

The girl glanced at him with her spare eyes and made sure he had walked out before she got inside and locked the door with it.

Walking out of the bathroom, Ma Rui didn't forget to glance at their room, where the boy was sitting on the bed, staring at the phone screen intently. There was no tiredness on his face.

It seems that they are only halftime now, and Ma Rui does not want to continue to listen to them "singing". He walked briskly to the door, put on his shoes and went out.

But it's not early in the morning, and I don't know where to go when I go out. The only thing that could make him think was to go to the convenience store not far downstairs and buy a bottle of soda.

The urge to let the carbonic acid flow through my throat has lasted for two or three days, but I have been restrained by the laziness of going out. It's rare to go out today to satisfy your taste buds.

Ma Rui quickly walked through the corridor and got out of a double-door security door more than one person high.

On the street in front of you, there is a sparse flow of people, not because there are few people here, but because the scorching temperature during the day has not dissipated, and you can even smell the smell of the earth cooking.

The turbid air from the cars speeding past Ma Rui quickly spread through the street.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, but in an instant, the turbid gas dissipated, and the heat wave rushed away in all directions. Ma Rui, who was walking on the walking path, vaguely felt that sweat began to ooze from his forehead. He hurriedly quickened his pace, and stepped into the door of the convenience store around the corner a moment before sweat burst out of his pores.

The air cooler above his head expelled the heat like magic, sealing the sweat inside his body. The pleasant cooling made Ma Rui can't help but exclaim, which provoked the campers in front of the convenience store to cast a smiling gaze.

The nervous Marley didn't care, and walked quickly towards the freezer. The dazzling array of goods seemed to be about to burst the freezer, and a hidden power was calling for Ma Rui.

"I'm going to break this seal!" Ma Rui roared, reached into the freezer with one hand, and the pleasure that suddenly dropped to freezing point made him tremble uncontrollably, and finally took out a bottle of Coke from it.

Only then did he notice that there was a woman beside him, who was watching the whole process of his second offense. With a shy smile at the end, he picked up a bottle of drink and walked towards the counter. This woman looks a little good, but it's not amazing.

But judging from the last slightly shy smile just now, Marry was sure that this woman was his favorite dish.

Grabbing his drink, he followed.

"Do you have a Band-Aid here?" The woman asked, standing in front of the cash register.

"Yes." The cashier nodded, then pulled out two band-aids from a small box beside him.

The girl paid and put a band-aid on her wrist. Soon walked out.

Ma Rui followed, he thought that the people who bought daily necessities here should all be people who lived nearby, why hadn't they met it before, but he had lived here for more than a year.

The large amount of hormones secreted made his brain in a state of excitement for a while, and even looking at the back of the woman's wonderful figure, he had already begun to fantasize about the names of the two children.

After following the woman for a while, the sky gradually darkened. The woman came to a nearby park, which Marry had only visited once when he had just moved in. It's not unfamiliar, but it's not very familiar either.

The trails in the park are paved with cobblestones. In the center of the green belt, there are many elderly fitness equipment arranged around the plantain trees, and on the left is a pool for ornamental fish, and in the center of the pool is a rockery. At the end of the park there is also a basketball court fenced off by an iron fence, which is a gathering point for young people in the neighborhood.

The woman brushed her hair and walked in quickly, and Marry continued to follow.

Once you enter the park, exploding square dance music fills the air.

The woman looked around, and finally landed on a wooden bench near the pool. On the bench sat a man with a black cap.

It turned out to be a date, and Ma Rui stopped, a sense of loss swept through his body, and he sat down along the stone pier on the cobblestone path. He looked at the man on the bench, who happened to be looking at him as well, and then muttered as if to say something, and the woman turned her head as well.

Out of the psychology of the stalker, Ma Rui naturally quickly turned his head, his heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and he kept silently saying that the other party couldn't see.

After about two minutes, Ma Rui twisted his head back a little, and the two people didn't seem to care about his existence. That's when he breathed a sigh of relief. When he came back to his senses, he realized that the Coke in his hand had bottomed out, and there was a dry feeling in his throat.

You really shouldn't drink soda, your throat is really uncomfortable. Marry stood up, intending to drop the bottle in a nearby trash can and walk back.

At this moment, the woman sitting on the bench also stood up suddenly, and she seemed to have some kind of argument with the man, and the two of them became more and more arguing, and the sound was close to the square dance music playing on the lawn.

Ma Rui was surprised to see it and forgot to throw away the soda bottle.

Then the man began to reach out and want to drag the woman, the woman shook her hand, turned around and walked towards Ma Rui, and without hesitation, she took Ma Rui's arm with one hand, and kissed Ma Rui's cheek.

This time he heard what the woman was saying.

"From now on, he's my boyfriend!"

What the hell is this? Ma Rui's face was full of doubts, but there was a hint of joy in his heart.

The boy standing next to the bench was obviously angry, his facial muscles were twitching faintly, and he clenched his fists and walked towards Ma Rui. This made Ma Rui have a bad premonition. Instinctively, he took a step back.

I saw the man grab the woman's hand and throw her to the lawn. Then he raised his fist and was about to swing it at Marry.

"Wait. What's going on? Ma Rui hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it.

"What's the situation, rob my woman! What else do you ask me about? Before the man's words fell, his fist had already smashed into Ma Rui's chest, and the latter took two steps in his calf and coughed repeatedly.

"Robbing your woman? I don't even know her, okay! Sick you. Ma Rui also clenched his fists and looked at the man vigilantly.

"Don't know!?" The man didn't seem to believe it, but still set his sights on the woman's position.

Then he was surprised to find that the woman was gone! The distorted face that was originally angry suddenly relaxed. He looked at Ma Rui suspiciously, the other party looked at him blankly, he hesitated, and slowly turned his head.

I saw a woman standing behind him, and the appearance of her cloak was terrifying. The corners of the man's mouth trembled, and before the words could be spoken, the woman bit him on the neck.

The man was thrown to the ground. Bright red blood gushed out of the ruptured wound, screams echoed throughout the park, people began to panic, scream, and then the sound of a car crash outside the park, but no one stopped, as if death had inadvertently descended quietly.

At that moment, the Band-Aid on the woman's arm fell, and Ma Rui saw that the place where the Band-Aid was originally attached was a small circular dent, which seemed to have been injected with a special needle.
