Chapter 7: The Second Confessor
Everyone says that as long as you enter the university, you will have one foot in the society, and you will meet all kinds of people from different places.
On the day of admission, the sun baked the outside temperature very high, and the road seemed to be rolling with heat waves from afar, and I felt that as long as I was directly exposed to the sun, I would not even be able to recognize my parents after a few hours, so even I, who was reluctant to use an umbrella even when it rained, put up a parasol.
Fortunately, the school and home are in the same city, and it takes more than half an hour's drive from home to school, so I had to take the bus with my parents when I didn't have a private car and wanted to save money.
The people in the car were shoulder to shoulder, not to mention that I also took a medium-sized suitcase, I complained at one point, but my mother said to me calmly in a joking tone: "If you are too crowded, get out of the car, and follow the car will definitely not be crowded!" Then I looked at my mother with a questioning look, and she pulled out her hand and touched my head: "Don't doubt it, it's my own mother." "I was speechless when I heard my mother's words.
When the car started, although the sunroof was open, and some of the windows were also open, but under the background of the roar of the engine, it felt even more stuffy, and the smell of sweat filled the air, which suddenly made me feel sympathy for my brothers and sisters who came all the way to study here, and had to run around with huge suitcases in such a hot weather, and some even had to suffer from the sour smell in the carriage of the green train.
When I got off the bus, I saw that the school gate was open to us, the new students, the parents of the new students, and the seniors who welcomed the new students occupied the entire campus, and each place was set up one after another, and the banners marked with the name of the department and the major were hung, and the banners were printed with bright yellow words on the uniform red background, and the last five words on the banner "Welcome new students" were in bold font, which was particularly dazzling in the sunlight, and finally found their professional position, but they had to wait in a long line to sign in. Pick up your assigned bedroom key at the registration desk.
During the queue, a female classmate was impatient and took out the mirror in her backpack and started to touch up her makeup, the sunlight could be refracted from the surface of her mirror to my face, and the mirror at this time was very similar to the mirror that appeared in the episode of the TV series "Journey to the West" - "True and False Monkey King", which gave me a feeling that I could be accepted in minutes. When I came to the door of the dormitory with the key, I was surprised to find that the girl who almost accepted me with a mirror happened to be my roommate, and when I came in, I immediately took the initiative to help me, and after a little familiarity, I jokingly told her about "looking in the mirror", she said she was very embarrassed, and apologized to me, it looks like she should be an easy girl to get along with.
Since college, I also have my own mobile phone, after the six people in the dormitory are familiar, the first thing is to build a chat group, sometimes the six of us are bored, each sitting on the bed with a chat group to fight the map, are a top fighting figure master.
This day is fighting hard,My mobile phone text message suddenly showed a text message from an unfamiliar number,I think chat software is prevalent in the current era,If there is nothing urgent, even parents are often used to using chat software to contact me,In addition,There are usually "10086" and "10010" often use text messages to comfort me, not to remind me to pay or to promote various preferential package products, then who will contact me with text messages, and it is also an unfamiliar number, I'm afraid it's not a scam text message, But I was still driven by curiosity to click on the unread message, and after seeing the content of the message, I was even more overwhelmed, "Be my girlfriend!" ”
"Ahh Who is it! I screamed and threw my phone on the bed.
"What's the matter, I'm shocked?" My roommate, who lived in my top bunk, heard the commotion, poked his head down from above, his hair hanging down, and then looked at me with a question mark all over his face, and I held up my phone and showed her the text message.
"Yo Yo Yo, someone confessed to you, Mao Mao." After hearing the words of my roommate in the upper bunk, the other roommates also cast envious glances at me mixed with a little gossip.
"But I don't know who it is, maybe it's a mistake."
"Then you can reply and ask?"
Since I went to junior high school, I experienced being ridiculed by Li Mingxuan, and then in high school, I have obviously learned to dress up, but someone grabbed my eyes and started to make a fuss, I remember about my eyes at that time, and I heard the most bizarre words that said that although my eyes couldn't find out what was wrong, they looked awkward, and I saw my eyes glowing green at night, and after that, I became very unconfident, I heard many people often say that girls have narcissistic plots, but I sometimes look in the mirror for a long time, I will feel that I can't bear to look directly in the mirror, and I no longer even dare to take the initiative to talk to people I don't know, for fear that I am too ugly and disliked, so I have never had a crush on someone else, and then a mysterious person has emerged to confess to me, which makes me a little unbelievable.
Because of this text message, I didn't want to go to class, and I was still guessing until I was ready to go to bed at night, and I wanted to reply many times to ask who it was, but every time I had already typed "Who are you?" A few words were about to be sent, and after hesitating for a moment before pressing the send button, I deleted all the words, and I also thought about whether it would be Ai Wenxue, after all, he mentioned in the letter he wrote to me that he liked me, and I always had a premonition that I would meet him again recently.
The phone has been used for a day, at this time it has begun to remind the battery is insufficient, just a few seconds before the automatic shutdown I still didn't control my hands, pressed send, put down the phone and took a deep breath, and then spit out the breath heavily, as if I had completed an epic mission, anyway, the phone was turned off and I didn't bother to turn it on after plugging in the charger, so I had to wait until the next morning to see if there was a reply, close my eyes and go to sleep.
There were no dreams that night......
At night, the phone should be fully charged and automatically turned on, so when I got up the next morning, I saw an unread text message in the phone, and suddenly thought of a popular sentence: excited heart, trembling hands, this sentence can really perfectly describe me who clicked on the text message, but the content made me dumbfounded again, and the other party replied: "I am Li Mingxuan." ”
I couldn't believe it, so I casually put on a dress and walked to the window to look at the sun, and made sure that the sun was still rising in the east today, and looked at the road again, although there were fallen leaves that were swept up by the wind from time to time, but there were still pedestrians coming and going, of course, it was certain that today was not the end of the world, "Psychotic episode?" I muttered silently.
"What are you talking about there? Nervous. "One of my roommates came back from washing, pushed the door and entered the house, just in time to bump into me whispering while staring at my phone.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"The mysterious person who confessed to you yesterday sent another message?"
"How do you know?" I looked up at my roommate, because it was Saturday, there were no classes, and I was not in a hurry, my roommate put down his toiletries in a hurry, turned around and walked to his cabinet to get things organized.
"Since you received the text message yesterday, it's as abnormal as a demon, you didn't notice it yourself, can't we see it? Why, did you know the identity of the mysterious man today? ”
"Well, I know, I know, it's just that this person is a little unbelievable to me."
"So what do you think? To say yes or not to agree? Is it a handsome guy? The roommate asked a series of questions as if he had read 100,000 whys.
"It's a handsome guy, but I didn't think about whether to say yes or not." After listening to me, my roommate just leaned out from behind the cabinet door and looked at me, didn't say anything more, and continued to get busy.
I went back to the bed, lay down again, and stared at the top bed, which was always covered with the city evening newspapers that I had brought from home, some of which were supposed to be old newspapers from years ago. In a daze, the name of a report in the newspaper attracted my attention - "A woman in this city, committed suicide in a hospital ward", because I was lazy to clean up the bed at that time, and did not make a detailed cut to the newspaper, I simply directly connected several newspapers around the overlap and pasted them together on the bed board, and the next newspaper happened to cover the text of the report tightly, when I saw the name of the report, I somehow wanted to see the following, so I sat up and carefully lifted the transparent tape attached to it. It took a long time, although some of the words were left on the previous tape, but the words on the tape were re-pasted back to the newspaper, and it still did not affect the reading of the content of the report, and I also saw the date, this newspaper was when I was just in high school.
There is no way to take down all the pasted newspapers one by one, only the part to be read, so I can only twist my body and tilt my head to read the words on it, "Today, a casualty incident occurred in a ward of a hospital in this city, according to the medical staff in the hospital, the deceased was a woman, aged about 40 years old, was the wife of a patient in the ward, and the patient was in a coma due to excessive alcoholism, and the woman cut off her husband's oxygen tube when she was accompanying her, and then committed suicide by cutting her throat, and the woman died on the spot, According to further understanding, after the incident, an autopsy of the deceased woman found that there were multiple bruises of varying degrees on the body, and the investigators said that it should be caused by long-term domestic violence, and the analysis of the woman did not rule out the possibility of severe depression and psychological diseases, and the hospital did not want to disclose the name of the party, and the matter is still under investigation. ”
After reading this report, I can't help but think of Ai Wenxue's family, the woman who committed suicide in the report that year should be the same age as Ai Wenxue's mother, is this woman also a mother? If she is a mother, are the children in this family also suffering the same harm as Ai Wenxue that should not be borne at this age? The constant occurrence of domestic violence is truly shocking.
When I was secretly sad for the report a few years ago, the sudden ringing of the call bell made me shudder, the unfamiliar number was called by Li Mingxuan, thinking that it would be good to take this opportunity to ask clearly, understand his purpose, and I don't have to think about it anymore, so I picked up the phone, "Li Mingxuan, what are you doing?" ”
"Hey, my village aunt and ancestor, I've been dialing here for a while, why did you pick it up?" There was a familiar voice on the other side of the phone, still in a ruffian tone.
"Oh, my phone is on silent, just saw it." I lied to his question and prevaricated, and then went straight to the point: "Tell me, what's the matter?" ”
"Didn't I say it all, I want you to be my girlfriend, but I don't see that you gave me an accurate answer, so I called you directly and asked, how are you thinking about it? I'm such a sought-after person, you don't know how many beautiful girls chased me at the beginning, you think clearly, this pie is going to fall on your head, are you ready to take it? ”
"I just don't understand what you think? You also said, so many beautiful girls pursue you, why don't you choose them, you have to confess that I was disgusted by you to the bone? And how do you know my phone number? ”
"I don't need you to worry about how to know, anyway, there are many ways, and it's nothing to me, as for why I think of you...... Yes, I admit that I laughed at you too much in junior high school, and I can apologize to you now, but if I say that I will see you again in high school, you are different from junior high school, and I have carefully observed you many times in private, only to find out that you are the type I like, although not as outstanding as other girls chasing me, but it has always made me obsessed, and I didn't dare to confess to you like this until recently, would you believe it? Li Mingxuan suddenly spoke to me in such an affectionate tone, which made me a little uncomfortable, but after listening to his words, my heart began to jump involuntarily, and even a little excited.
"Neurotic!"
"As long as you promise to be my girlfriend, whatever you say, where are you? I'm going to look for you. ”
"I'm in the School of Electronics and Information." The next second he said where he was, he began to regret it, and he told Li Mingxuan so easily, I was afraid that he was not obsessed with ghosts, but things have developed to this point, and he has no regrets about taking medicine, what else can he do, he can only resign himself to fate.
"Okay, I'll see you in the school playground at eight o'clock in the evening." Li Mingxuan and I made an appointment to meet at a time and place, and then hung up the phone, before hanging up the phone, I vaguely heard that there seemed to be another man next to him talking about something, but he hung up too quickly, and he didn't hear clearly, and I didn't know what would happen to Li Mingxuan when he met after eight o'clock.
