In the northeast corner of Yanzhou City, there is a small high-rise office building with mottled and outdated walls, and the magazine "Huaxia Style" is located here.

In an office on the fourth floor, a man sits in front of a computer and stares at a newspaper on his desk. The man in his early thirties had short lean hair, a round face, and a medium build. His name is Liu Xiaodong, a reporter for the exploration column of "Chinese Style".

From the WeChat group of his junior high school classmates, Liu Xiaodong heard that his old classmate Guo Yingxin encountered aliens and sand people in Lop Nur, and only the old classmate came back alive. He didn't believe these rumors, but the person concerned, Guo Yingxin, was not in the group, and no one knew what was going on.

But the current Metropolis Times has already reported the news. Speculations such as "aliens" or "sandmen" are also characterized as unfounded rumors. At the end of the article, it is written: People are prone to hallucinations under stimulation and great mental pressure, and we hope that Miss Guo is only frightened, and sincerely hope that her companion can return safely......

"You're watching the news too?" Just as Liu Xiaodong was stunned, a familiar voice came from behind.

Liu Xiaodong looked back, and the editor-in-chief of the column, Editor Wang, was standing behind him.

"That's right! This thing is actually true, we were talking about it in the WeChat group two days ago. Liu Xiaodong pushed away the newspaper on the table, "This Miss Guo is my junior high school classmate, or our class girl!" ”

Editor Wang's eyes lit up and he slapped his palm: "Really? That's great, I just want you to do an interview! You can pretend to be public and private, and meet your class flowers by the way! Editor Wang pressed his big oily belly against the desk partition and looked at him with a smile.

Liu Xiaodong grinned: "You know me so well!" ”

Editor Wang pointed to the newspaper on the table and slowly put away his smile: "I need the details of this matter, the details of the difference!" Can it be like this report, what is the difference between this and copying from the Internet? ”

Liu Xiaodong gladly accepted the task. After Editor Wang left, he squinted and recalled Guo Yingxin's appearance, except for "beautiful", he had no other impression. But what he wanted to figure out most now was a new term.

"What the hell are the sandfols?" Liu Xiaodong turned his head to ask Xiao Zhang on the side, Xiao Zhang was crawling on the computer and was busy rushing to catch up with the manuscript, his eyes did not take off the computer screen, and he replied: "I heard that it is mutated...... People who survive in the desert! ”

"Mutation! Surviving in the desert? What the hell is that!? Liu Xiaodong frowned.

"You can search for it!" Xiao Zhang dropped a sentence and was busy with himself.

Liu Xiaodong picked up his mobile phone, and his computer malfunctioned today and he couldn't access the Internet. But I found that there was only one battery left in the mobile phone battery, and I looked for the mobile phone charger in the carry-on bag, but I didn't find it.

"What the hell! I forgot to bring my charger again! Liu Xiaodong muttered to himself in annoyance.

Xiao Zhang glanced at him, he knew the big brother sitting next to him very well. Looking at Liu Xiaodong's lost cat memory, you will suspect that his diploma from a prestigious university was bought online. But Liu Xiaodong's business ability is well-known in the company, and he can easily handle things that others can't handle. The phrase "wise and foolish" describes this kind of person.

Liu Xiaodong took a lot of trouble and inquired several times, and finally contacted his old classmate Guo Yixin. He said he wanted to see her, and Guo Yixin reluctantly agreed.

On the phone, Liu Xiaodong could hear that Guo Yingxin couldn't remember him as a junior high school classmate at all. He sent her his headshot, and Guo Yixin seemed to remember a little. Liu Xiaodong was stunned by this, hating why his academic performance in junior high school was not as good as that in high school.

Liu Xiaodong originally wanted to ask Guo Yixin to come out for dinner on the weekend, but Guo Yixin politely refused and made an appointment to meet at her house. Liu Xiaodong was a little strange why he wanted to meet at home, and it was difficult to ask. He didn't know that Guo Yingxin, who suffers from dissociative disorder, is generally reluctant to go out of the house.

It was Saturday and there was a light rain in the gray sky. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Xiaodong rang the doorbell of Guo Yixin's house. He had made an appointment to arrive at her house at two o'clock, but he was late.

Liu Xiaodong twisted a bag of fruit and stood at the door looking at Guo Yixin apologetically: "Hehe, I'm so embarrassed!" The name of your neighborhood is too easy to confuse. ”

"It's okay, I won't be at work today anyway." Guo Yixin opened the door, "Did you run the wrong way?" ”

Liu Xiaodong complained while changing his slippers at the door: "Isn't it! Your community is called "Wanxin Garden", I accidentally entered "Wenxin Garden" in the mobile phone navigation, you say that it is not a coincidence, we really have a "Wenxin Garden" in Dayanzhou! Caused me to run a lot of roads in vain...... Sorry to keep you waiting! ”

Entering the living room, Liu Xiaodong looked at the home of his old classmate. The living room is well lit and well organized, with hardwood floors and pale yellow dark pattern wallpaper making it feel very cozy. Liu Xiaodong knew that Guo Yixin, like him, was not married and lived with his parents.

When she received a call from Liu Xiaodong that day, Guo Yixin was very surprised.

Guo Yixin and Liu Xiaodong haven't seen each other for almost 20 years, and Liu Xiaodong suddenly called, saying that he had heard about her and wanted to meet her to "suppress the shock".

Of course, Guo Yixin will not believe this kind of statement, she knows that an old classmate who has not seen her for a long time suddenly visits, something must be wrong.

Liu Xiaodong felt that Guo Yingxin's appearance hadn't changed much, but he didn't expect her to grow so tall. I remember that when she was in junior high school, she was not very tall among the girls in her class. However, at this time, Guo Yingxin's face was very bad.

Guo Yingxin's father was also at home, and he went back to the back room after a few words of greeting with Liu Xiaodong.

Taking the Pu'er tea brewed by Guo Yixin, Liu Xiaodong said: "Originally, I also asked Tianming and Dashuang to come together, but unfortunately they are all on a business trip, so let's ask them to get together next time." ”

Guo Yixin sat on the leather sofa diagonally opposite Liu Xiaodong and said, "It's okay, everyone is busy, and I haven't attended the class reunion for a long time." ”

Liu Xiaodong smiled: "It's been twenty years, you haven't changed much, except for your height, ......"

"You haven't changed much, except that your face is a little rounder and your waist is a little thicker, hehe!" Guo Yixin smiled weakly.

"Haha, this hasn't changed!"

The two old classmates asked each other about their current situation and some things between their classmates. Liu Xiaodong could sense that Guo Yixin was depressed.

"It's hard for anyone to accept that something like this happens, I hope you take care of your health and come out as soon as possible." Liu Xiaodong said seriously.

Guo Yixin nodded slightly: "Thank you!" He sighed lightly, "It just takes some time, don't worry too much about my ......"

Liu Xiaodong remembered at this time that Guo Yixin was a quiet and introverted girl when she was in school. Now that he has encountered such a big thing, he is really a little worried about this junior high school classmate.

Xiaodong ...... I'm sure you're here today for something else! You can't be here to interview me, are you? Guo Yixin got up and added some tea to Liu Xiaodong and asked.

Liu Xiaodong scratched the back of his head: "I'm still doing it!" The club really wants me to interview you, but it's a ghost interview......" Liu Xiaodong waved his hand. "I'm here to visit my old classmates today, not to mention work!"

Seeing that his old classmates were in a bad mental state, Liu Xiaodong had changed his mind.

"Then, can you go back and make a difference?" Guo Yingxin breathed a sigh of relief, she really didn't want to recall those things.

Liu Xiaodong told her not to worry. "Journalists also have to talk about human nature and social responsibility, not to mention old classmates!"

Guo Yingxin pursed her lips and smiled: "I heard that you are in the Discovery Channel, how is your work?" ”

Liu Xiaodong shook his head: "It's not fun!" You know, people don't care that Jupiter has one more moon, but a certain star has a junior who can be explosive news. ”

"That's true."

Liu Xiaodong touched his chin: "Fortunately, I still like this job, for example, since I entered your house, I have explored a few things......
