Chapter 28: The Wheel of Fortune

Outside the window, the insects chirped and fell, the lights filled the dormitory, and some residual light leaked out of the window.

I sat alone at my desk, glanced at my face in a round mirror on my desk, and smiled.

I opened my first draft again, and I named it "The Tale of Flowing Gold", and read it silently from the beginning. I read it until the last place of the pen, and the word "from now on".

I suddenly remembered that I had written here last time. At that time, I seemed to see Shen Yun in the mirror.

Don't......

No matter what the reason is, maybe as Mao Qian said, since God has arranged such a rule for our story, it is better to follow this rule and continue to play. So I pricked up my ears and breathed. And then the two words continued to be written.

"From then on, whenever I was in the silence of the night, I seemed to be accompanied by an invisible beauty to read to me."

I turned my face slightly to the side, and listened quietly, silently, as if I heard a slight startled snort in my ears.

Oh, girl, you really know it!

Shen Yun's invisible body gradually became transparent, gradually turned into an entity, and stood in front of me.

"Got you." I laughed.

Shen Yun looked at his body and then at me, and finally realized that he had been discovered.

I went to grab her hand, but she suddenly retracted, turned around and ran out of the dormitory.

"Hey!" I hurried to catch up.

I don't understand why Shen Yun is avoiding me. Is there anything in her heart that she can't let go?

When I ran out of the dormitory, I realized that it was already raining heavily.

"Shen Yun! Shen Yun! ”

I rushed into the rain and got behind her, chasing her, shouting her name over and over again. Shen Yun just kept running, crying helplessly, screaming heartbreakingly, in this endless white night, in this endless nightmare.

I watched her turn around and look at my back desperately, and my heart sanctuated. No matter what, I'm going to take her out of this nightmare!

Running and running, I came to the street, and the background seemed to be quickly changed by the editing technique, and I immediately came to the street from the school dormitory. I ran to the center of the intersection and suddenly stopped. Shen Yun was gone, nowhere to be found, looking around, surprised by the strange transformation of this scene.

Did I lose her again, and where should I look for it?

"Mo Qingyu, I'll tell you a secret!"

Li Yuncheng's drunken and humble voice suddenly came from behind me, which made my whole body tremble.

"What's the secret?" It was Mo Qingyu's voice.

I jerked my head back, searching through the thousands of strands of rain for the source of the sound.

Under the neon lights of the KTV in the distance, on the side of the road, Li Yuncheng drunkenly talked in front of Mo Qingyu: "Absolutely exciting, you can't think of things until you die, you definitely drop your jaw when you hear it." Jinghong has fallen in love with a girl! You'd never know where this girl came from. Hahaha...... She has been living in the head of this guy Zeng Jinghong! ”

This scene......

The night rain gathered on my face and flowed down my cheeks. Time seemed to slow down, and I could almost hear my own breathing and heartbeat.

Over there, Mao Qian dragged Yuncheng into a taxi and roared away, leaving only two young men, a man and a woman, standing side by side on the side of the road......

In an instant, a flash of lightning flashed, and I looked back as if I had been struck by thunder.

A person, a girl, stood on the side of the other street, looking at him. There was an agitated excitement on her face, as if she had suddenly seen the light out of the chaos and obscurantism, as if she had suddenly seen the exit from an endless black hole, and she ran towards the exit, towards the light. But when she ran to the center of the street, she was stunned.

She saw another person, too.

Suddenly there was an extremely sharp and piercing brake sound in the distance, and a strong light shone on her pale face, and I suddenly sensed something, and rushed towards her with all my might.

She was standing there in the dim light, the glare of the headlights shining on her face......

"Shen Yun!" I screamed as hard as I could, and the girl looked back at me for a moment. Just like that day, she stood in the wind, her bangs trembling slightly, the corners of her mouth smiling, the ends of her hair were brushed, and she looked back at me.

The glare of the headlights pierced my eyes, and I couldn't see. But I could feel that my arms were already tightly hugging her, and there was a terrifying sound of sudden braking in my ears...... My consciousness suddenly stopped, and the feeling of her holding on my arm slowly disappeared......

I opened my eyes in a daze, and seemed to see a young girl sitting at the head of my bed, smiling at me, gently caressing my face.

My vision was blurry, and I couldn't see her face clearly. I felt myself reach out and try to touch her face, but it felt empty.

I sat up suddenly, breaking out in a cold sweat. The beads of sweat on my back and face flowed down my face, and then I found myself sitting on the bed with a pillow in my arms. I looked up and saw a fan on the white wall whirring towards me, and my roommate sleeping on the bed opposite.

The light of the morning sun shone on my face.

My ears buzzed for a while, and I felt as if I was gradually recovering from my deafness, and I felt like I was in a different world, suddenly jumping from one world to another, and when my ears could hear, I realized that this was not a strange world, but a real world that I had not seen for a long time.

I slept for a while, and I felt like I had slept for a long, long time.

I tilted my head strangely, was it the illusion that I had slept too deeply?

Unknown.

The east is white, the morning breeze is blowing, and I walk alone on the quiet and few campus paths.

I kept my head down, but I felt as if something had happened before, but it wasn't yesterday, because I remember everything that happened yesterday clearly. Gradually, I felt like nothing had happened. But I always felt like I had lost something, and a feeling of emptiness always haunted me.

Those things that I "can't think of" are real or false, real or dreamy, what I think in my heart, or the confusion in reality.

Are dreams and reality intertwined?

"Ahh

Suddenly, I heard a woman's voice exclaiming, and I came back to my senses. Then I saw the flying paper.

I squatted down in a panic to pick it up. "I'm sorry, I accidentally ......" I apologized as I picked up the paper, only to find that the other papers were densely covered with words, only one of them was written in italics with the words "Good Dreams and Frequent Shocks". What does that mean? I didn't understand it for a while.

"It's okay, it's okay!" The person who was hit said softly.

When I looked up, I saw a graceful girl with shiny black hair, crouching in front of me, smiling at me. It occurred to us that she would ruffle the ends of her hair the next moment.

Sure enough, she carefully stroked the ends of her hair and sorted out the paper she picked up in her hand. This scene is very ...... Ahem, how to say it, it's amazing!

I picked up the paper, handed it to her, and said, "I'm sorry, I wasn't seeing you!" ”

"Do you remember that?" The girl looked at me with a smile.

I was stunned for a moment, not understanding what she meant by this question, but unconsciously said, "Not yet." ”

"Then come on!" The girl smiled, got up and walked away.

Looking at her figure jumping away from the sky, I was stunned.

"Damn, I forgot to ask her name." I sneered at myself.

"You boys just love fantasy." Suddenly, someone tapped me on the shoulder. As soon as I turned around, Guo Maoqian put her arm on my shoulder, looked in the direction the girl left, and walked to my side.

"What are you doing!" I blame her for her recklessness.

"Hey, it's honest, isn't it interesting to others?"

"It's the first time I've met her, is it really okay for you to ask that?"

"Fake serious." Mao Qian ruthlessly broke me.

Suddenly, I saw her holding a brand new camera in her hand and carrying it behind her waist.

"Bought for Li Yuncheng?" I raised an eyebrow.

She wondered: "How do you know?" ”

"Ducks on the shelves, who doesn't know what kind of urine you have!"

Mao Qian made a gesture to fight: "Hey, I said that you are not undercuted!" He looked around again and said casually, "Hey, have you seen Cloud City?" ”

"You like him so much, why don't you go to the dormitory in person every morning and wake him up."

"Then I'm so embarrassed!"

"And what else are you embarrassed to do?"

"What's so embarrassing?" When he turned around, he saw Li Yuncheng dressed neatly and neatly, holding a stack of books, and coming with steady steps.

"Hey, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive!" I smiled at Mao Qian. Li Yuncheng raised his eyebrows and said, "What, what are you talking about me?" ”

Guo Maoqian took advantage of Yuncheng's inattention and waved at me again and again. I said bluntly, "Oh, Mao Qian, she said she wanted to do something big with you." ”

Yun Cheng found that his shoelaces were loose, and while squatting down to tie them, he raised his head and asked, "Big deal, what's big deal?" ”

"Hmm...... The kind that can bless future generations! ”

Mao Qian waved her hand again and again: "No, don't listen to his nonsense." Actually, I want to give you a gift. ”

"What is it?"

Mao Qian suddenly tilted her head forward, stood on tiptoe, raised her eyebrows, and looked straight from the gap between Li Yuncheng's chest and collar. Li Yuncheng immediately noticed it, looked up and saw Mao Qian's appearance, immediately covered his chest with both hands, stood up and said angrily: "Hey, what are you doing!" ”

Mao Qian smiled and stretched out her index finger, brushed the void in front of his chest from the bottom up, and said freely: "It's quite material!" ”

Yun Cheng immediately said to me angrily: "Zeng Jinghong, why is your cousin a perverted embryo!" ”

"Why, the first day you knew he was this virtuous?" I turned away. Mao Qian got cheap and said obediently: "Hey! You're a man, not a woman, why are you so shy! Let's see how it won't be. ”

"Why are you such a hooligan!" Yun Cheng was angry, turned his back to her, and suddenly saw the teaching director passing by.

"Morning director!" Yun Cheng immediately straightened his posture.

"You're early!" Director Shen smiled at us casually.

"Director Shen!" Mao Qian and I also said hello.

"Morning! The discipline buckle should be buckled, Guo Maoqian. Director Shen kindly reminded.

"Oh!" Mao Qian immediately corrected it.

Director Shen nodded and walked over with his hands behind his back.

"Director Shen is so kind!" Yun Cheng's adoring eyes lit up, "I will also be like Director Shen in the future, teaching and educating people!" ”

"Me too!" As Mao Qian spoke, she seized the opportunity to stick to Li Yuncheng again.

"Oh, don't you come here!" Yun Cheng immediately removed the hand she had wrapped around his arm.

"Brother Cheng, I have a gift for you!" Mao Qian seduced.

"What?"

"Na!"

When Yun Cheng saw that it was a brand-new camera, he immediately refused: "It's too expensive, I can't ask for it." ”

Mao Qian was puzzled: "Why? Haven't you always wanted to have a camera? ”

"Then I can't have you either! I'll save up to buy it myself! ”

Mao Qian's eyes were full of loss, glanced at me, and immediately squeezed at me.

I realized in seconds, patted Yun Cheng's shoulder, and teased: "Dude, are you having a problem with your brain?" Do you know that the ratio of men and women in our country has become seriously imbalanced? This realistic version of a woman chasing a man, I have lived in vain, and it is the first time I have seen this kind of social spectacle. You're not sure about this, I really doubt that someone is stabbing you behind the back and causing you to short-circuit your head. Do you really plan to jump out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements? ”

Mao Qian cooperatively grabbed Yun Cheng's arm and said majestically: "Nonsense, we call it learning from each other and making progress together, right, Brother Yun Cheng." ”

Li Yuncheng said impatiently: "Why do you keep hugging my arm!" ”

"Your biceps are very thick! People like it! Mao Qian hugged her tighter. Yun Cheng habitually pulled out the arm that was held by her, straightened his collar and said, "Yes, I am a man who is only interested in learning!" We must all be good young people with ideals, morality, education, and discipline, and devote all our enthusiasm to our socialist modernization! Read for the rise of China! ”

"Good!" Mao Qian was the first to applaud! I squinted at her little fan-like expression and couldn't help but snicker. Mao Qian said: "At this moment, it should become an eternal historical picture!" ”

I accidentally interjected and said, "Don't you happen to have a camera!" ”

Mao Qian said happily: "That's right! Here, take a picture of us! As he spoke, he handed me the camera, put his arm around Yun Cheng's shoulder, and snuggled up to him.

"I don't want it!" Yun Cheng stroked her hand. Mao Qian's mind spun quickly, and she said again: "Let's just see how the pixels are!" ”

"Then I won't take a picture with you! Jinghong, let's have one! ”

I smiled and winked at Mao Qian, indicating that I had done my best. Mao Qian was not discouraged, and said with a smile: "Okay! You come first! ”

So Li Yuncheng and I hugged each other shoulder to shoulder and stood together. There are two of us in front of the camera, and behind us is the school building.

Mao Qian shouted with a smile: "Ready, one, two......"

That's how I do it every day.

I looked at the camera, but I was thinking about it in my heart, I always felt as if I had lost something, as for what I lost?

In life, sometimes it is inevitable to suffer from gains and losses. Ahem, I smiled relieved and told myself, "That's it! ”

Well, so be it! Perhaps, this is life.

Camera lights flash......

We had a flash of inspiration, a sigh of surprise, and suddenly looked back......
