Chapter 3 Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

"Ding Ding Ding, Ding Ding Ding", at 7:30 in the morning, the mobile phone next to the pillow rang on time.

"Meow... Meow... Meow..."The cat Xiaoqi heard the alarm bell and came to the bedroom door and called me gently. I turned on my phone, put on my glasses, and struggled for ten minutes, and at 7:40, I still got up lazily. Looking out the window, the morning sun was orange, the sky was still clear, the clouds were floating in the distance, the pigeons on the roof began to circle around the house in the distance, and the wind was blowing in my hair. Today's weather is as good as yesterday.

With yesterday's clothes on the bedside table, I still put on that gray t-shirt and jeans, took care of my curly hair, and at 8:10, after pouring cat food on my cat's dinner plate, I finally went out. The aunts in the square downstairs have already danced the square dance, "Time is like a shuttle, and the stars are moving, and the years have witnessed the magic of love... It's still yesterday's tune, it's this tune every day. Walking out of the gate of the community, the doorman still had that indifferent expression, the shared bicycle at the door was placed next to the corner, I turned on an orange bicycle and rode to the subway station, and there were large and small vehicles passing back and forth on the road. But it seems a little strange, and I seem to have a strong sense of déjà vu, and although I don't pay much attention to the pedestrians and vehicles on the road, I feel as if I was the same person yesterday.

The uncles at the entrance of the subway station greeted the passers-by, and I parked my bicycle to the side and ignored them. At half past eight, the aunt next to the elevator handed out today's newspaper, and I waved my hand and didn't ask for it. On Metro Line 3, when I walked on the subway, I was sitting opposite the fashionably dressed woman from yesterday, the same white crop top T-shirt and hot pants. It seems that something is wrong, "The Perseid meteor shower arrived as scheduled in the early hours of this morning, and many astronomy enthusiasts came to the Fangcun Mountain on the outskirts of the city to watch the meteor shower, let's enjoy the beautiful meteor shower." "The news in the subway repeats yesterday's news. I started to have some doubts, and that's when I took out my phone and took a closer look.

Wednesday, August 16, 2017, fine. What the? Wasn't that yesterday? Why is everything the same today as it was yesterday? I began to fall into great confusion. I turned on the mobile news: the situation on the border, the war between the United States and North Korea, the housing prices in City C, the month of domestic film protection, the 72nd anniversary of the end of World War II. What the? What happened?

Is there something wrong with my phone? I set the time on my phone to August 17th, and I pretended to be calm, and I began to think carefully about everything I encountered yesterday, all the people on the subway, the comments on the mobile news, and the closing of the stock market yesterday. I was blinded, it seemed that everything was repeating itself, and the network time displayed on my phone was still August 16th. At 8:52, WeChat swiped Babao porridge, 3 yuan, and the random red envelope drawn was still 0.12 yuan. My face was full of shock, "What time is it today?" I asked my aunt who sold breakfast, and she took out her phone and looked at it and said, "August 16th."

"Senior brother, another batch of samples were sent today, which were sent by Xingyuan Chemical Company, and I want to test the heavy metals." Zhang Han came over to me and said to me. I was there in a daze, I was wondering all this, what the hell was going on? Did I cross over?

"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Han's face was full of doubts.

"No... It's nothing," I said, confused.

"It's nothing, then I'll go, the sample is here." Zhang Han said.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"It's the sixteenth today, what's wrong?" Zhang Han looked puzzled.

"You watched the meteor shower last night, didn't you?" I asked.

"yes, how do you know?" Zhang Han was surprised.

"No, nothing, I guess, because I watched it too," I said to myself.

Zhang Han left, but I couldn't calm down for a long time. I suddenly took out my phone, and at 9:28, the stock market was about to open. Open the mobile phone software, the A-share index basically opened flat today, and the Shanghai Composite Index opened 3.41 points lower, down 0.1%.

I thought, I have to think I'm crossing, oh no, maybe it's not a crossing, it's just one day missing from my life, maybe as I thought before I went to bed yesterday, I'm just in a dream. At this time, all kinds of science fiction, time, time-traveling movies and novels that I have been exposed to in my mind appeared, why I crossed over, and if I followed the routine of the movie, maybe it was something unusual that caused me to cross over. But I didn't eat anything special, I didn't need to come into contact with any special people or things, August 16th, isn't this an ordinary day? Or maybe it's aliens? Meteor shower?

My brain was running wildly, and it seemed like I had experienced the most incredible things, some of the weird events I'd watched before, investigative journalism, alien kidnappings, Bermuda and the like, and that supernatural events could have happened to me. It's all so amazing and so mysterious. I thought maybe I could tell someone about it, maybe it would be another unsolved mystery, and maybe no one would believe me. It's just that at least now it seems that I made a day, and I don't have much to lose.

In the circle of friends, Li Moumou is still showing his baby, Zhang Moumou is still taking selfies, old classmates from afar are still posting apples grown at home, and those who do micro-business group buying and asking for likes, by the way, Chen Moumou's mileage running yesterday is still 7.44 kilometers. I turned on my pedometer, yesterday's step count was 12156 steps, and there was still no change, random red envelopes, and it was still 0.31 yuan when I clicked on it. The market in the morning is still flat, at 11:05 or the annual ring shares limit, Xinte shares are still in a sideways trade.

Everything is repeating, repeating yesterday. The cafeteria still eats roast beef with radish, "Did you watch the meteor shower yesterday?" "Xiao Luo will also bring up this topic.

"Purple Meteor, I know what you're going to say." I'm calm.

"Senior brother, you also saw it." Xiao Luo was surprised.

"You're still watching the meteor shower on the roof of the dormitory, and couples are making wishes on WeChat."

The others didn't know what I was talking about, but Ronaldo was surprised.

"Senior brother, how do you know?" Xiao Luo was curious.

"Because I may have wished, and I have done so. It seems like it was just yesterday. After listening to my words, Zhou Tong and Zhang Han also seemed to be a little confused.

I think I did travel back to yesterday, August 16th, and while I don't know why, or what that means, I do confirm that I did travel back to yesterday, and only yesterday. I think if I travel back to when I was a child, oh no, if I travel back to the Ming Dynasty, maybe there will be more stories. So why let me travel back to the day before, such an ordinary day, that I didn't even remember yesterday's two-color ball draw numbers. Gee, I think I should go back and buy lottery tickets.

At the close of the stock market, the Shanghai Composite fell 4.18 points, or 0.15%, the Shenzhen Component Index rose 41.00 points, or 0.39%, the ChiNext rose 26.62 points, or 1.48%, and Xinte shares fell 0.72%. Nothing has changed, maybe I should have remembered which stock would go up and down yesterday, but unfortunately when I reacted there were no more stocks that I remembered.

"Senior brother, come and teach me how to use atomic absorption." Li Feifei arrived as promised.

"Did you watch a meteor shower yesterday?" I asked Li Feifei.

"Meteor showers? What meteor shower? ”

"Perseid meteor shower." I explained.

"I don't know, I was at home watching a TV series last night."

"Do you believe in wishing on meteors?" I asked again.

"Haha, this is a little girl's princess dream." Fei Fei laughed.

"Haha, I don't believe it either." I should be along.

I quickly taught her that she tried again to do a test sample and the lead concentration value was still 1.61 mg/L.

On the way home, the subway was still as crowded as yesterday, oh no, it was yesterday. "What are you doing? You stinky rascal. That slap still caught my attention. In the evening TV, it is still those news. I picked up my phone and got ready to answer a call from my dad. I didn't talk to Ami, there are still only three windows in the hotel with lights on, Dota 2 random call, and Bloodfiend 42 minutes GG. Everything is the same as yesterday.

I lay in bed and thought about it, what was the problem? I repeated the extra day of life that God had given me, as usual, so what was the meaning of this extra day? There's a bigger question, will I go back to yesterday tomorrow? Back to ancient times, perhaps? Maybe there will never be another thing to cross, and everything will return to normal. I got out of bed again and started looking online for clues, looking through all sorts of things that happened today, including lottery draw numbers, and unfortunately there were no two-color balls today. Late at night, I felt more and more sleepy, collapsed in bed, and lost consciousness.

Tomorrow, what will tomorrow look like?
