Chapter 40: The Mystery Boy (4)
It was just me and Chen Bo in the whole room, and it felt good that we were in this kind of separate space, and there was just no one to disturb me so that I could discuss the matter of the one-eyed man with him.
Chen Bo sat on the bed, suddenly pulled me in, he didn't know what to do, lying on the wide and soft bed, casually slapped a few times, the melodious music was released from the playback equipment next to the bed, with the music playing next to us appeared sheet music, Chen Bo bored at will to move the notes in the position, with the change of position, the rhythm of the music also appeared corresponding changes and adjustments. A piece of music that feels completely different from what we felt before comes to us.
"Chen Bo, there are some things I want to say to you, it's about the one-eyed man." I know it's not good to disturb other people's self-entertainment now, but I still interrupted Chen Bo's music enjoyment, Chen Bo glanced at me, his fingers clapped a few times, the music automatically stopped, and the score in front of him disappeared, which is a new way of life to operate a computer through sound.
"Chen Bo, do you know Chun'er's father? She mentioned you when I went to see Chun'er today. Chen Bo was stunned for a moment, looked at me, tapped his fingers on the frame of his glasses and said, "I don't know." ”
"I heard Chun'er's father mention you, saying that you are his protégé, are you your former teacher?" When I said this, Chen Bo knocked his fingers on the frame of his glasses and stopped, and with this action, Chen Bo also became serious from the previous lazy state, he suddenly sat up from the bed, looked at me and said, "He said that I am his protégé, should it be." ”
Chen Bo's sudden serious attitude made me a little concerned, maybe there is really a relationship between Chen Bo and Chun'er's father, Chen Bo did not complete the following words, glanced at me and asked, "How is her father?" I could feel that his tone was still a little hurried, and although he desperately tried to show that he didn't care about the topic, the sudden increase in his tone behind it was a good indication of his eagerness.
"Chen Bo, I think it's better if you don't want to know, I'm afraid of you." I stopped when I said this, I became a little unconfident, I saw Chen Bo's eyes at this time were sharper, I was a little stunned under the pressure of the scalpel-like eyes, it seems that Chen Bo still cares about what I say, I took a deep breath, and said with the calmest mind: "Her father was killed by the one-eyed man." ”
I saw Chen Bo's body swaying slightly, I thought he would cry, but suddenly I heard a loud laugh in my ears, this laughter is not hearty and crisp, only a heavy sadness, although it is laughter, it is more painful than crying.
"Conway, why are you telling me this, is it interesting? Having said all this is just to stab me in the heart, right? "I feel that Chen Bo's words are a bit extreme, and I want to defend that I didn't mean that, but I didn't say anything after a few strokes of my mouth, what are you talking about? Did it work? Isn't it normal for people to say something very paranoid when they are in extreme pain? Who can smile and say I'm okay when someone important to them dies.
"Chun'er's medicine was given to her by her father, and I just want to get some clues from you."
"Are you trying to say that the teacher has something to do with the Broken Tail Project and the One-Eyed Man?" When Chen Bo heard my words, his mood calmed down a little, and the frenzied weed-like anger gradually began to die down, Chen Bo stroked his chin and thought seriously for a while, then suddenly raised his head and looked at me and said, "I remember that there was a person who gave me a very strange feeling, that blonde boy. This picture that suddenly flashed from his mind was like a key to open a door, and soon many more images slowly emerged in Chen Bo's mind, Chen Bo exaggeratedly opened his hands and said loudly: "That blonde man is among those who played with us." ”
"Are you sure?" It seems that the invisible net has begun to gradually open in front of me, that person is 1,0's brother, why does 1 have contact with me and Chen Bo, and why does he want to contact Chen Bo's teacher? And that forum, I feel that things around me are more complicated, I feel like everything is like a hemp ball, there are a lot of twine wrapped around my world, as long as I find one of the endpoints, I can sort out all this complicated things.
"Chen Bo, are you okay, I want you to tell me that you are okay." I gently patted Chen Bo's shoulder and asked, I saw Chen Bo's dim eyes and I knew that he was very sad, Chen Bo should love his teacher very much, silence is the best catharsis of emotions, quietly **** his wound, when the wound is completely scarred, the heart can really no longer hurt, what I said at this time can not help him at all, only disturb his healing.
"I love my teacher very much, my teacher is the best teacher in the world, and if it weren't for his recognition, maybe I wouldn't be so persistent now." Chen Bo used his best efforts to make the words he said at this time not have too much trill.
"Did the teacher die a miserable death?" After Chen Bo finished speaking, I immediately shook my head, and when I saw me shaking my head, Chen Bo showed a slightly reassuring smile.
"Died for your daughter, your teacher's death is not tragic at all, it's great."
"Conway, I was excited before, I am really happy that you can tell me about my teacher so sincerely, as a highly educated, top student who graduated from an excellent college will naturally be concerned by some excellent enterprises in the society, in people's first impression, the children from these colleges wear a halo wherever they go, because their starting point is on a relatively high step."
"I don't think there is anything to envy about these, people who do learning, these honors and envy are just add-ons for others to hang on you, I don't have anything to be proud of, I just want to find more interesting things from those complicated numbers."
"I don't know what authority is, I only know what is right and what is wrong, I don't know what kind of reply the leader wants me to hand over, I only know that I should do it, my things are often denied from above, there is no reason, just a result. I was the only teacher who was willing to listen to me talk about those big truths and to discuss with me many areas that others did not want to cover, and I was really touched by this respect and encouragement. ”
"I don't feel like I'm a machine that's just for research, I'm a person." Chen Bo said a lot, but when he said this, his voice trembled even more, and a tear flowed down so naturally.
Yes, as we live in this mechanical society, sometimes I forget that I am a person, I feel that my daily life is like a schedule that has been arranged a long time ago, and I am just a prop that is called by others to use at will, how am I, has anyone paid attention? They only cared about how useful I was to them, and even I was about to stop thinking of myself as a human being, completing the prescribed tasks and then taking a short break. I seem to be able to understand Chen Bo's mood somewhat.
Chen Bo said a lot, in fact, I almost forgot what he said, I only knew that he kept saying like a robot, as if he didn't pay attention to whether I listened anymore, just wanted to say everything he wanted to say in his life.
"Conway, I'm fine, I'm worried about you." After Chen Bo finished speaking, his lips were already a little white and dry, but the last sentence seemed to be a reassuring pill that made me feel a lot more relieved, I smiled and said, "Just wait for your words." ”
Chen Bo smiled slightly when he heard my words, and the faint smile held my other hand tightly like a pair of hands, and a simple smile expressed his silent gratitude to his friend.
