Chapter 092: A Middle-Aged Man Like Me

After doing all this, I took a shower, lay on the bed, listened to soft music, and then picked up an extracurricular book from the side of the bed, and looked at it as I liked, sometimes reading prose, sometimes novels, and also reading some magazines with beautiful pictures, or encyclopedias of astronomy and geography, I would slowly appreciate it, feel it with my heart, and when I felt sleepy, I turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Almost every day of high school is like this, even during the winter and summer vacations, I don't have to go to class, I will study the next semester's courses by myself in advance, and then read more good books outside the classroom, constantly enrich and improve myself, and even in the first year of high school, I have bought all the textbooks for three years of high school and studied at home.

But there are exceptions, that is, on the day before the college entrance examination every year, I will put down all my habits, change into a light sweatshirt, well-textured sneakers, wear sunglasses, plug in headphones, and come to one of the top ten famous ancient temples in the country - Lingyin Temple.

The reason why I come here every year today is that I prefer ancient culture, and those places with historical precipitation always fascinate me. I like that kind of subtle and simple beauty, which can bring me a lot of inspiration, even if there is a lot of boredom and confusion in my heart, when I come here, I don't need anyone to enlighten me, I just need to quietly taste, and I can be relieved and suddenly enlightened.

I always feel that things that are too fashionable are always short-lived, and it is difficult to be eternal. It is often difficult to pass on through the ages, and Lingyin Temple has a history of more than 1,600 years, it is no wonder that Lingyin Temple has attracted countless literati and ink writers since the temple was built, and even the emperor will come to play, chant poems against each other, and also leave countless precious spiritual wealth for future generations.

Second, I also want to train myself in advance to have a good attitude when facing major life turning points. For example, such as the college entrance examination, which is a very critical opportunity in life, instead of temporarily cramming and reading at night, it is better to put down the books and come to this place with beautiful mountains and rivers and profound cultural heritage, so that your heart can precipitate well, calm down and meditate, but let yourself have a peaceful mind to face the college entrance examination the next day, and play your most real and best level.

So even though I haven't been in my third year of high school yet, I still insist on this day every year as if I was a student in my third year of high school, and come to Lingyin Temple for a day to let my mind fly.

After returning home, I still don't read or study, listen to soft music and go to bed early, and in the next three days, I will ask my mother to help me ask for leave from school, and then I will go through the previous year's high school exam papers at home, simulating the examination room schedule, and have a complete experience. Three days later, I will find the answers to the test papers from the Internet, mark the papers for myself, see how I did in the exam, and find out where I am deficient, so I will review and strengthen it in a targeted manner.

To be honest, when I was a freshman in high school, I was still a little nervous at home in the three days when I simulated taking the college entrance examination for the first time, and I was only a freshman in high school, although I also used my extracurricular time to study the courses of the second and third years of high school on my own, but after all, the time was too short, and I didn't learn very thoroughly, so the test was not ideal.

But during the national college entrance examination in the second semester of high school, I was more satisfied with the second mock college entrance examination, and I was not so nervous, it can be said that I played at a super level, although the results still did not reach the admission score line of Yan University, but it was very close, after all, I was only in my second year of high school, and there was still a year of high school to strengthen, I believe that the threshold of Yan University has been getting closer and closer to me.

The reason why I was able to perform at a super level was also due to the fact that the day before the college entrance examination, I still went to Lingyin Temple as usual, and the magical experience of that day, and the mysterious girl I met, also made me unforgettable for life.

I still vividly remember that day, when I got up in the morning, my mother had prepared a clean sweatshirt for me, I looked out the window, the blue sky, the blue sky, it was really a rare good weather.

After breakfast, backpacking, and saying goodbye to my mother, I walked briskly to the bus stop. In this era, the bus has been more humane, people go out, just log in to the mobile phone bus client, enter the destination, the system will automatically follow my mobile phone's GPS satellite positioning, determine my location, and then inform me in advance of that intersection to wait, take that bus, need to transfer to that bus, about how long to arrive at the destination, are clear.

When I turned on my mobile phone before going out, started the bus client software, and entered the destination Lingyin Temple, before I walked to the elevator, I was soon prompted by a pleasant electronic female voice that there was a K1314 bus, which would pass by the door of my community in three minutes.

When I got out of the elevator and just walked to the entrance of the community, I saw an air-conditioned bus flashing lights, waiting for me, and on the electronic display screen on the top of the bus, there was also a line of words: Mr. Mo Ziran, the K1314 bus you are taking is waiting, please bring your belongings and prepare to get on the bus.

After getting on the bus, I saw that there were not many people and there were empty seats, so I walked to the last row, found a window seat, and as soon as I sat down, the car started slowly.

There was a prompt tone in the mobile phone: thank you for taking this bus, your destination is Lingyin Temple, you need to transfer to the Y520 tourist bus at the ninth station of the Municipal Government Building Station, and then continue to take nine stations to the terminal Lingyin Temple, the whole journey takes about one hour and twenty minutes, your fare has been automatically deducted from the phone bill, your balance is sufficient, you do not need to recharge the phone bill for the time being, I wish you a happy journey.

I couldn't help but smile when I heard the voice prompt and subconsciously glanced out the window, and in the distance, as I expected, I saw my mother standing on the balcony looking at me.

Suddenly, my heart warmed, from childhood to adulthood, my mother always took care of me very well, the small things in life never need me to worry about, my phone bill is always sufficient, and I have never charged it once.

I knew that my backpack must be fully equipped with all the necessities, food, drink, and change of clothes, needless to say, what umbrellas, field flashlights, multi-functional Swiss Army knives, sunscreen, insect bite spray, band-aids and other things that may be used are all sorted and neatly placed in my bag.

So, I opened the text message and wrote a new text message that said: Thank you, Mom, I love you. Then I sent it out, and soon I received a reply: Mom loves you too, be careful on the road, and go home early.

After turning off the text message, I habitually turned on Tencent Music, put on the headphones, listened to the music, and clicked on Tencent News, and it has always been my habit to watch the news every day, so as not to be out of touch with this society and live in this world too closed.

During that time, the most reported news in the news was the news about the publication of an ancient parchment book called "Heavenly Love", which continued to report the latest situation almost every day.

In particular, some of the content translated by ancient culture experts every day attracted everyone's attention, and naturally attracted my attention. Because I have always been curious about ancient and mysterious things, and the most surprising thing about this ancient parchment book is that almost all the most authoritative experts in ancient Chinese cannot find the text of this book from past sources, so it is very difficult to translate, and it is necessary to use the latest computer technology to obtain faint future text information from the vast universe to translate.

In other words, it is possible that this ancient book does not come from a long, long time ago, but from a far, far future. This is also the first time so far that humanity has received something from the future.

When I saw this news for the first time ten days ago, I felt inexplicably chuckled in my heart, and it seemed that I always felt that it had something to do with me, but I still couldn't figure out what it was.

So in the past ten days, when I am free, I will go online to pay attention to the progress, I don't know why, in the dark, I have a hunch, since the advent of this book, I seem to be quietly changing, there are some things that I am not aware of now are happening silently, and even, I have a strong premonition, today's trip to Lingyin Temple, there will be something I didn't expect.

When I unconsciously stared at the screen of my mobile phone and fell into deep thought, I was suddenly awakened by the horn of a fast-passing car outside the car window, and then I turned off the news, put down the phone, and let some sore eyes stare out of the car window, looking back and forth, my eyes were much more comfortable.

At this time, it may have encountered a red light, the car stopped, and the parking location happened to be opposite a café, to be exact, it is a global chain of well-known coffee shops, its name is also very good, called "Coco Flight", the decoration design of the whole café is extremely fashionable and alternative, from a distance, there seems to be a flight in the café is flying towards the sky.

I've been passing by this café a lot in the past, and I've been in it before, and although it tastes good, it doesn't attract much attention from me, and I personally don't have a preference for coffee and chocolate drinks.

But when I passed by again today, I suddenly felt a little sad inexplicably, and even made my heart a little restless, and suddenly I remembered that when the ancient parchment book was mentioned in the news just now, it was mentioned that in the latest translation of the ancient parchment book, there was a café with cocoa drinks, and the name of that café happened to be the café in front of me - Cocoa Flight!

I didn't care about this café, but subconsciously looked at this café from afar, looked at it, and in a trance, I seemed to see a middle-aged man who seemed to be extremely lost sitting in front of the window, distracted by the two cups of coffee on the table, and there seemed to be a box of exquisite chocolates on the table.

It's just that there was no one in the seat across from him, and when I accidentally saw his appearance clearly, I was surprised, because he looked very similar to me, and maybe in a dozen years, I would be like him.

Just as I wanted to take a closer look at him, he disappeared inexplicably, and then, as if I saw an extremely beautiful girl looking at me affectionately, walking towards me step by step......

When I saw from a distance, after the middle-aged man who looked like me disappeared inexplicably, it seemed that a woman was slowly leaving the Coco Flight Cafe and slowly floating towards me from the sky......

In a trance, I seemed to hear her singing softly:

If there is an afterlife

I'm going to make a cocoa tree

Breed all the thoughts of your past life into cocoa for you to taste

So every moment you eat chocolate tastes different

Sometimes sweet

Sometimes bitter

Sometimes sour

……

That's exactly what I miss about you!
