Chapter 1: Sleepwalking
I recently talked about a girlfriend, the same age as me, and she looks average, but her skin is relatively white. She is a colleague of my current company, and when I first applied for the job, I thought that this girl was very kind, as if she had seen it somewhere, maybe it was a natural attraction. She was in another department, and by chance, she went on a business trip with her, so they got acquainted with each other. Later, when I hinted a little, she immediately agreed, and we became boyfriend and girlfriend.
Over time, I noticed that she had a particularly weird habit.
Although we are in the same company, we belong to different departments, so we rarely have direct contact and can only get together on weekends. And at night, she rarely sends messages, and it is only after twelve o'clock in the middle of the night that the amount of information suddenly increases and begins to stick to me.
I have my own biological clock, and after 12 o'clock at night, I will have difficulty falling asleep, and I can't fall asleep after tossing and turning. But in order to accommodate her, I rarely sleep before twelve o'clock these days, and can only chat with her.
I found that by midnight, her mind was extremely active, and she often sent some sultry selfies, and I put up with them.
Sometimes we can talk until three or four o'clock in the second half of the night. I fell into a deep sleep, and the next day I went to work in a daze, and I didn't have the energy for a day. Last week was even more outrageous, and at one o'clock in the middle of the night, she asked me out for a walk. I was originally drowsy, but immediately had energy, and I was not a straight man of steel, so is it just a metaphorical suggestion of indescribable behavior.
I'm an outsider and I'm renting a house here, while she's local and lives in a big house by herself. I once fantasized that I would really have a good relationship in the future and that I could move in with her. But there was one thing I wondered why she didn't live with her parents, and I never heard her mention her own parents.
I went in a hurry that night, and who knew it was really a walk. She dragged me through the deserted streets, looking very happy. I wanted to have too much contact a few times, but she deftly avoided it, and I was depressed and had a feeling of being cheated. But I still like her in my heart, so I walked around for most of the night until I reached the gate of her community. She pointed to the seventh floor of one of the buildings inside and said, "That's my house."
I'm a little confused, why is the light still on that window? I wondered in my heart, is there anyone else in her family? But he didn't say it.
"Wang Yue, it's so late, why don't I go to your place for the night." I said sincerely, "Don't worry, I sleep on the sofa and make sure it's in order." ”
She stared at her feet and said slowly, no, there is something inconvenient at home, and she will invite me to go after a while.
My face turned green at the time, and I reluctantly smiled and said it didn't matter, and I had already dragged her into the blacklist.
From that day on, when she talked to me again in the evening, I said that I was sleepy, and I could push it. Sometimes she sends messages, and I can't get them back. I hope she will offer to break up and end the relationship, and I hope that my negative attitude will make her understand.
I don't know if she really wants to understand, or what, gradually stop looking for me, although we didn't clearly state the end of the relationship, but everyone is an adult, and they should know it.
That night, the boss of the department called me and asked me to find Wang Yue, tomorrow the company will have a major negotiation, Wang Yue is responsible for sorting out the negotiation data, there is a key information that needs to be changed overnight. Her leader had already called, but her phone was never answered, and she did not reply to her messages, so she was very anxious. I really couldn't help it, so I somehow thought of me in a roundabout way and entrusted the boss of our department to call me.
"Lin Cong, I don't care what method you use, I have to find Wang Yue tonight after digging three feet into the ground, do you understand!" The boss spoke very quickly on the phone, and he could feel that it was indeed to the point of 100,000 urgency.
I smiled bitterly: "Boss, what are you looking for me, Wang Yue doesn't have a girlfriend or anything in the company?" ”
"Sensei nonsense, the whole company knows that the two of you are objects, and they are a couple. Don't talk to me uselessly, you dare to say that you haven't been to her house? I'm afraid you're the only one in the company who knows where her home is. The boss didn't allow me to defend himself, and immediately said: "I don't care about the matter between you, I want you to find Wang Yue tonight, and notify me as soon as you find it!" ”
Put down the phone and look at the watch, it is already ten o'clock at night, it is early spring, the night is still very cold, the wind is strong, how did this unlucky errand let me stand up.
I am not worried about Wang Yue's loss of contact at all, I am used to it when dating, she has always been elusive, only she is looking for me, it is almost impossible for me to find her.
I didn't rush out of the house, I called her first, and sure enough, no one answered. I sent another message and waited for about ten minutes to sink into the sea. I was extremely reluctant to get dressed and go out.
According to my memory, when I took a taxi to the gate of her community, it was the middle of the night, and it was dark inside.
I shivered and called again, but no one answered. Standing outside the community, I squinted and thought back to the direction she had pointed, barely counting the tall buildings in the dark, and finally counted the building. She told me that her family lived on the seventh floor, and when I looked closely, I was stunned that the house on the seventh floor had the lights on.
For some reason, I chuckled in my heart, and a faint sense of foreboding emerged. The last time I went out with her, the lights were on in her house, and this time they are still on, and the meaning of it is not clear.
I was hesitating when a message rang. When I looked down, it was sent by the boss and asked me if I had found Wang Yue.
I told him to come to her house right away. I really can't help it, so I can only bite the bullet. I entered the neighborhood and walked towards the building in the dark. There are some dark street lamps in the community, there are no people at night, and you can see faint gardens, pavilions and flowing water all around, and the greenery is very beautiful.
As he was walking, suddenly a figure came over, his body was straight, his heels were upside down, and he walked lightly and swayingly, and his posture was extremely weird.
On this big night, I was not mentally prepared at all, and suddenly I saw such a person, and the hairs on the back of my neck rose.
When I looked closely, I couldn't believe that my eyes turned out to be Wang Yue!
She was dressed in a thin blue coat that looked a bit like a costume, with long hair scattered and a pale face. And the weirdest thing is that she has her eyes closed, as if she is walking while sleeping. If I'm not afraid to joke, I'm almost scared out of my pee.
Just as I was dumbfounded, she staggered to the front. My heart was beating wildly, and my whole body seemed to be immobilized, and I didn't dare to move.
Strangely, she ignored me, passed by, and continued on her way.
Sleepwalking?! My throat moved, and that was the first thought that popped into my mind. Sleepwalking is not new, but this is the first sleepwalking patient I have really met, and it is false to say that I am not afraid, goosebumps are all over my body.
Wang Yue walked very fast and disappeared at the back of the garden, where there were a lot of bamboos, the foliage forest was luxuriant, and there was no light at night, and soon there was no shadow. It's a bit weird, and I can't ignore it, so I can only keep up.
Skirting the garden, I saw her back, and she even turned the corner from the bridge on the fork in the road.
I scratched my scalp and thought to myself that sleepwalkers would recognize the way, as if they could see, it was really strange, and today was an eye-opener.
I was nervous and excited when I was following a sleepwalking patient at night, thinking that it was no wonder that Wang Yue usually looked so weird, and always chatted with me in the second half of the night, it seemed that there was a reason. I subconsciously feel that a person can sleepwalk, the mental aspect may not be normal, silently glad, fortunately broke up with her early, this will drag on for a long time, she really has to be nervous, maybe she can do something.
I followed her up the bridge and followed her silently, not far away, and she didn't seem to notice it, and kept walking on her own. After following a while, I became more and more weird, and I had a strong feeling that she seemed to be going on a date.
As she walked, she came to a pavilion in the southeast corner of the community, where there was a stone table and four stone benches surrounded by it, which should be a place for the elderly in the community to rest.
Wang Yue entered the pavilion and sat on a stone bench, the light was extremely dim, and the atmosphere was a little gloomy. I didn't dare to go in, so I hid and watched as she was talking to an empty stone bench opposite. He spoke very enthusiastically, his expression was changeable, and he laughed again when he was serious and then laughed.
I was peeping in the shadows, and my legs were shaking.
After watching it for a while, I couldn't help but wonder what she was talking about. I walked over slowly with courage, and when I went to the outside of the pavilion to eavesdrop, her voice was very loud, and she said to the person who didn't exist on the empty stool: "Old Meng, don't ink it, I promised you all your conditions, this is the agreement." ”
The other seemed to be in deep thought. After a while, Wang Yue said again: "What I Lin Cong promised, I will never regret it, you can rest assured." ”
I couldn't believe my ears, she actually mentioned my name, Lin Cong. She also claimed to be Lin Cong!
After saying this, she touched her body, seemed to take out a pen, and took something from the empty stool, took the air and looked at it solemnly, and then signed her name on it with an invisible pen, I don't know if it is preconceived, how do I think the strokes of the name look like the word "Lin Cong".
