Lighting a cigarette, Luo Xing calmed down a little, and the look of surprise in his eyes gradually precipitated, and then he began to tell his story.

His name is Luo Xing, he is twenty-six years old this year, and his life experience is as ordinary as most people, ordinary and uneventful, and there is hardly anything to record.

Birth, school, graduation, work...... Then you should be like most people, get married, buy a house, pay off the loan, have children, and then grow old day after day.

This is the pathetic feeling of being an ordinary person, because it is dull and boring; This is also the happiness of being an ordinary person, and the reason is also because of the dullness.

Perhaps, only when you really face the so-called "thrilling twists and turns" and "life and death" will you understand that having a "dull and boring" life is a great happiness in itself.

However, three months ago, Luo Xing's originally smooth and straight life trajectory made waves.

It all started with an ordinary bar party.

Luo Xing is a person who lives a routine life, but no matter how conformist he is, he also has his own friends.

With friends, there are naturally moments to get together for a drink.

What's more, these good friends of his, since middle school, have always existed in his small circle of life, and now they are all working in the same company.

Lin Sen, Fang Zhe, Liu Yao, Meng Rong, these are the names of Luo Xing's four friends.

The five of them have known each other since junior high school, and they were also in the same school in high school, and they all chose to study science. When filling in the college entrance examination, since everyone's assessment scores were about the same, Luo Xing jokingly proposed: simply fill in the same university and the same volunteer. This is a joke in itself, but I didn't expect it to be unanimously agreed by others.

What's even more shocking is that the five of them were actually admitted to the same university, and they are classmates majoring in computer programming.

When I was about to graduate, a newly formed Internet company came to the school to recruit programmers, because the benefits proposed by this company were not bad, and many people in the class signed up at that time, but in the end, only five people were admitted to join the company's technical department - yes, it was Luo Xing and the five of them.

For more than three years, the personnel of the technical department have changed frequently, coming and going no less than a dozen, but the five of them have persevered all the way, relying on the mutual trust relationship established between the old classmates, they work as a team, the efficiency is very high, and the friendship between the five people is also deeper.

The fox is as suspicious as me, and when I heard this, I couldn't help but brow slightly: These five people have a problem.

These five people, since they met in junior high school, are like being glued together by invisible super glue: together in junior high school, together in high school, and then admitted to the same university, studied in the same university class, and when they graduated, they took up all the five recruitment places in a company, and after working for three years, they are still working together!

This kind of thing, from a purely probabilistic point of view, may not be worth mentioning, you see that people around the world win the lottery every day, and even some people even win the lottery, this probability, I'm afraid it's even more terrifying.

However, this is not mathematics, this is real life, living real life.

Real life can't be as pure as a math problem - a single result is indeed simple and straightforward, but if you look closely into the reasons that play a role in this result, you will find that there are thousands of clues...... It was a hopelessly complex mess.

If you can easily pull the longest of them out of the mess with your eyes closed, believe me, it will not be an accident, but a predetermined necessity.

Even those who win the big lottery will be able to easily draw the longest twine in that mess. And I am also sure that in Luo Xing's hands, there must be such an invisible "long twine".

My job is to find the answer to this question: why did you easily draw the longest and most complete twine?

What I need to challenge is often not the science of probability, but the power that makes you happen to draw a "wonderful lot", hidden behind all kinds of unknowable, and unnamed - so, a madman like me can survive until now, and I don't know how many ancestral graves in my family have smoked together (Lao Dao's exact words).

Personally, I think that my life so far can be summarized in two words: death.

Therefore, the story told by Luo Xing was unusual, and I was interested.

I raised my hand slightly and asked Luo Xing to continue. The attitude I showed was really listening attentively, not perfunctory, which may have comforted Luo Xing, and he nodded, took another puff of his cigarette, and continued his story.

Since graduating and joining the work, Luo Xing's small group of five people has slowly formed a habit, that is, they have a small gathering every Friday night, as usual, they eat first, and then KTV, bars, mahjong rooms, and so on.

It was Friday, and after dinner, I chose the bar.

After a drink, all five of them were slightly drunk, and the topic was picked up by Fang Zhe.

"What the hell is going on with you this afternoon, why did you sleep at that time? Don't you know that 'Du Yan' works at around three o'clock in the afternoon? Fang Zhe took a sip of the red wine in the cup, then picked up a bottle of freshly opened wine and raised his hand to fill it for everyone.

The "he" in Fang Zhe's mouth refers to Lin Sen.

"Du Yan Wang" is the section chief of their department, the section chief's surname is Du, it is said that he came in by nepotism, and he is not good at business, but he is a typical officialdom belly black style, flattering to the top, and being scathing to the lower - in the management of employees, the style is tough, just like Huang Shiren facing Yang Bailao, and when he meets his superiors, he looks like a translator of the imperial army, and he knows how to take the chief to some places to bully and bully the little cabbage, so the mix is booming, and there are even rumors that he will be promoted within the year.

This afternoon, Lin Sen was lying on his workbench and sleeping deadly, Section Chief Du took a newspaper and rolled it into a ball, and knocked Lin Sen on the head while calling Lin Sen......

The next thing, naturally needless to say: Lin Sen was called to the section chief's office by King Duyan and trained for an hour.

"That's not right." Luo Xing narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Sen, "I don't know if you have found out, anyway, according to my observation, this kid has been sleeping lazily during the day recently...... Looks like there's a situation—"

"Haha, yes, yes! Tell me honestly, what are you going to do at night to steal chickens and dogs - to be mentally ill during the day? Fang Zhe patted Lin Sen's shoulder and said with a smile.

"How is that possible! I've never been in the habit of staying up late. Lin Sen put down his wine glass and argued.

"Alas, classmate Lin Sen, if you really have someone outside, it is estimated that our Liu Da beauty will be sad......" Meng Rong on the side did not forget to fan the flames.

"Go and go, don't make fun of me." Liu Yao was disgusted, and deliberately said to Meng Rong in a low voice, "Let me guess, the person who is really heartbroken is not Meng Rong yourself?" ”

"Huh?! Damn Liu Yao, you're heartbroken! ”

The two women laughed.

Luo Xing noticed that Lin Sen was frowning.

"Hey, seriously." Fang Zhe put away his smile, "What the hell is going on with you?" ”

"I ...... I don't know much either...... "Lin Sen supported his forehead with one hand, rubbing his temples with his fingers, and seemed to feel a little headache.

"We've been friends for so many years, is there anything to be embarrassed about?" Fang Zhe said.

"yes, are you afraid that we're going to spread rumors everywhere?" Luo Xing also chimed in.

"yes, yes." The two girls also leaned over their heads.

"This ...... I don't really know where to start...... I'm not even sure if it's a problem. Lin Sen's answer was a little helpless.

"Then take it slowly—we have time for you anyway!" Fang Zhe said, patting Lin Sen on the shoulder, "Even if you actually went to rob the bank in the middle of the night, we will help you keep it secret!" ”

Except for Lin Sen, everyone else burst into laughter, and in this laughter, there was a sense of friendship.

After all, they have been friends for so many years.

At this point, Roshing paused and explained to me the specific relationship between the five of them, and since it involved a deep understanding of the story he told, I listened equally attentively.

The five of them have known each other for so long, and they are both male and female, and they are not related to each other, so it is natural that there will be some mutual affection between men and women.

Luo Xing admitted that he had a crush on the beautiful Liu Yao; Fang Zhe, like Luo Xing, admired Liu Yao; And Meng Rong seems to have a little bit of interest in Lin Sen, but everyone is too familiar, and some emotional things are more cautious, and they don't dare to take the lead in breaking it. Only Lin Sen seems to really regard the two girls purely as friends.

Luo Xing knew that Lin Sen was a smart person, and it was impossible for him not to understand what Meng Rong meant to him, but he didn't know why, whether it was Meng Rong or other women, Lin Sen never showed a trace of temptation, as if he was ...... The matter between men and women could not arouse Lin Sen's interest at all.

Here I interjected and asked, "Is there a problem with Lin Sen's sexual orientation?" ”

Luo Xing barely hesitated: "As far as I know, it's completely normal." In fact, there are other strange things about Lin Sen, but after that night, we finally know the reason. ”

Speaking of the word "reason", Luo Xing showed a hint of pain, and the nervous and overly nervous look on his face also appeared again, I don't want him to fall into an emotional predicament again, so I hurriedly motioned for him to continue first.

Luo Xing calmed down, reached out to wipe the fine sweat on his forehead, and continued his story.

Everyone expressed their desire to listen to Lin Sen's explanation, Lin Sen was silent for a while, as if thinking about how to explain this matter, and then, in the expectant eyes of the other four people, Lin Sen spoke.

"I'm actually very regular in my personal routine. I went to bed at 10 o'clock at night and woke up at 6 o'clock in the morning, and I didn't have any habits of sleepwalking or talking in my sleep—Fang Zhe shared a dormitory with me when he was in college, and he can testify to this. ”

Fang Zhe nodded, indicating that what Lin Sen said was all about things.

"But ......," Lin Sen paused, "that's not the case. ”

"Sometimes, I don't know why, as soon as it is twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, I feel very sleepy, and this sleepiness comes out of nowhere-Fang Zhe, do you remember, when I was in the dormitory before, sometimes I was playing with the computer, but suddenly fell asleep inexplicably?"

"That's right. I said, why do you sometimes play the game, but suddenly fall asleep on the keyboard, and sleep very deadly, why can't you wake up, not only have to trouble a few of our fellow dormitory buddies to carry you to bed every time, but also always cause us to lose the game. Fang Zhe said with a smile.

Luo Xing touched his chin and said: "No wonder sometimes everyone is called out to play at night, every time you are either absent or leave early, we always thought that you were unsociable, but when everyone was together during the day, we didn't feel this way." I've been confused about this for a long time. In the end, everyone thinks you have night blindness, haha. ”

At this time, Luo Xing noticed that Meng Rong's face had a sudden bright expression, and Luo Xing understood that Meng Rong thought that Lin Sen's several private invitations to Lin Sen were rejected by Lin Sen because of Lin Sen's quirk of sleeping on time, not because he was not interested in her. As for why Luo Xing knew about this, it was because on two occasions, Meng Rong conveyed it through Luo Xing.

And Lin Sen obviously didn't have the heart to observe the subtle changes in Meng Rong's expression, he just breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression seemed to be a little lighter-if a person had hidden a terrible secret in his heart for a long time, it was really an unspeakable pain, and once he made up his mind to say it, there would be an indescribable relief.

Lin Sen continued: "Not only that, but my sleep quality is also very poor, I often dream, and I do it all night, and when I wake up, it is six o'clock. ”

"It's normal to dream, there are many people who have a slight dreaminess, that's because of too much mental pressure, like you said, maybe it's a bit serious, go to a doctor...... Well, Chinese medicine is good, help you prescribe some medicine to calm and calm your nerves, it will be fine......" Meng Rong did not hide the concern on her face.

Meng Rong likes Lin Sen, and it is almost an open secret in this circle of five people, so everyone doesn't think that there is anything wrong with Meng Rong's obvious concern at this time.

Lin Sen shook his head, "I'm not done yet-"

"The dreams I have over and over again are all the same dream."
