Chapter 168: The Day of Reincarnation (14) The Thirty-Fourth Heaven
Hearing the alarm clock ringing, I squinted my sleepy eyes and touched the phone next to my pillow, and pressed it accurately to the location of the stop button. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, looked at the time on the screen, and then came to his senses completely.
I sat up from bed, yawned, and began to get dressed and washed up for my morning exercise.
There are a lot of people exercising in the park, and I don't know why, but today I don't seem to be in good shape, and I couldn't finish the whole course without stopping, and I couldn't run after only two and a half laps.
I took a deep breath and continued to walk slowly, the soreness on my legs gradually eased, and the sudden drop in physical strength was a little strange, but I felt it carefully, and there seemed to be no other discomfort on my body, so I didn't care anymore.
After walking for a while to recover a little bit of strength, I will finish one and a half laps left, and then I left the park to buy breakfast, there are still a lot of people who buy breakfast today, and there are very annoying people who cut in line, finally after buying breakfast, I looked at the time, and it was time to go home.
I walked home with my bag, the sun had fully risen, the morning sun was not dazzling, squinting at the orange and yellow of the sky, only a slight warmth, not hot. For as long as I can remember, my family has lived in this community, and my parents are enthusiastic personalities, so I know most of the people in the community. At this time, there are more people going out than when I went out, and most of them are old people who have returned from grocery shopping and morning exercises.
The old people in the community have watched me grow up, and since I remember it again, I have been taught by my parents to call people, and now I am basically familiar with these old people. After greeting each of the old people I met, I was greeted by a stranger I had never seen before.
He was standing in the direction of the backlight, the distance was still a little far, I couldn't see his appearance clearly, I could only see that it was a man, very tall and strong, wearing only a close-fitting vest on his upper body, exposing his arms and smooth muscles on his arms, a standard inverted triangle figure, and the outline of his abdominal muscles could be slightly seen from the outline of his clothes. If you only look at the figure, I think his figure is even better than that of a martial arts star.
Closer, I can see him a little better. I looked at him curiously, and saw that it was a man in his twenties, but he didn't look like the people I usually saw, and felt much more mature and stable. His eyes are very narrow, the bridge of his nose is high and slightly hooked but not ugly, his lips are slightly thick, the contours are deep, and he looks very dark, which looks very powerful. If you look closely, you will see that he has a long scar on his face, from the corner of his left eye to his chin, which does not look ugly, but it makes people feel a little fierce.
Anyway, although this person is not ugly and even makes me feel a little handsome, but probably due to the influence of his body and the scars on his face, it gives people a very aggressive feeling, which makes people afraid to approach, and in short, he doesn't look like a good person - this can be seen from the fact that everyone else avoids him from afar. It's weird, though, it's like a gut feeling, and it makes me feel like he's not scary.
He doesn't look like someone who is going to work, who is he visiting?
I was secretly looking at the man, he suddenly turned his head to look at me, as if he noticed that I was peeking at him, the sharp gaze startled me, and the footsteps were even slightly paused, but I didn't feel scared in my heart, I looked at him and blinked, showing a smile "Morning." β
I saw that the man was slightly stunned, and even his fierce gaze flickered, as if he hesitated for a moment, and spoke.
"You know me?"
The man's voice was deep and feminine, with a slight hoarseness in it, like the bass of a cello.
The voice was so good, I thought silently to myself, looked at the man and shrugged, "Uh, I guess I haven't seen you before, right?" β
The man's gaze froze slightly, and the gaze looking at me became complicated, as if there was something hidden but I couldn't read it. Looking at his slightly pursed lips, I felt that he seemed to be a little unhappy, did I say the wrong thing?
"Should we know each other?" I asked hesitantly, searching my memories to make sure I hadn't seen the man.
I was still waiting for him to answer, but he didn't say anything and walked straight past me.
I turned my head to look at his back, and thought it was very strange, this man gave me an inexplicable feeling, and I couldn't tell what it was. It wasn't until the man had gone far that I turned around, shook my head helplessly, and walked back home. Strange people, strange words, I feel mysterious, I really don't understand
When I got home, my parents had already gotten up, had breakfast together, and after making an appointment to go out for dinner in the evening, the two of them went out to work, and I changed into a set of clothes and prepared to go to the appointment with my friends.
I arrived at the book city on time, found my friend Xu Ruohan who arrived before me, and after learning where she occupied the position first, I went to find the book I didn't finish reading last time.
I walked towards the place I remembered, but I didn't find the book, and just as I was strange, a voice came from behind me.
"In the corner behind you."
The bookshelves were quiet, few people spoke, and the sudden sound made me slightly startled, and I subconsciously looked back, only to find that there was no one behind me at all.
What the hell is this? I felt a little frightened, turned my head to look at the bright sun outside the window, shivered, and threw this inexplicable thought out of my mind.
If you think about it, that voice is familiar, so if you heard it somewhere?
I frowned slightly in the corner of the left rear, and after thinking about it for a while, I walked towards the left rear. After all, although it is relatively quiet here, there are still a lot of people, and the corner location of the book city is definitely not remote, but there will be many people who can't find a good location and will choose to sit on the ground in the corner. Therefore, I am not afraid of accidents.
Walking towards the corner indicated in the sentence, I saw the label on the bookshelf from a distance, and sure enough, the suspense book had changed its position, and I looked down from the label, but found a back that looked familiar.
This back is the strange man I met in the neighborhood in the morning?
I paused, and suddenly remembered why that voice seemed so familiar to meβit was the voice of the strange man!
Yes, it must be right! I affirmed my judgment in my heart, that low and slightly hoarse voice was very special, I had not heard it from another person!
I approached him with some hesitation, although I thought it was safe and there would be no accidents, but now I had some drumming in my heart, was it a coincidence? It's not a coincidence that I didn't meet him here, but what he said just now obviously knew what book I was looking for, how could this be a coincidence!?
"Uh, how are you?" I hesitated to say hello, my voice was as low as a mosquito, and my eyes swept the place next to me, and there were four people reading books around, so that I felt a little more confident, and after brewing for a while, I said in a normal volume, "Hello?" β
Hearing my voice, the man turned his head to look at me, I didn't think it before, but now I feel that he has grown so tall, giving people a strong oppressive nature. His gaze was calm, but it seemed to make people unconsciously retreat, and I looked away a little uncomfortably to find that he had an open book in his hand. The book looked familiar, and when I looked closely, I realized that it was the one I was looking for.
"Hey, what a coincidence, you're here too." I had a strange feeling in my mind that it didn't seem to be a coincidence, but I didn't know what it was, so I wondered if it was really a coincidence, or if someone was doing it on purpose, "Are you reading this book too?" I think it's interesting, and I'm watching it, but I haven't finished reading it yet. β
The man was silent and didn't speak, and the silence made me feel a little embarrassed, and I was not sure whether to continue with a topic or take another book and leave. But just then, the man spoke.
"Unfortunately, I'm waiting for you."
I was stunned for a moment, and before I could understand what he meant, I saw him shove the book in his hand into my hand. I subconsciously picked up the book he stuffed, and when I came back to my senses, I found that he had left here and walked in the direction of the exit.
I stood stunned and watched him leave, not catching up. I waited until he was gone, and then I looked back at the book he had stuffed into me.
When the man shoved it to me, it was still open, and I looked at the page I was turning and was amazed to see that it was the last time I saw it!
Unfortunately, the words that the man just said are ringing in my ears, am I waiting for you, waiting for me? Why wait for me? And how did he know that I was going to be here, looking for this book, and seeing this page?
What happened suddenly was like a fog that enveloped me in. Until I walked back to Xu Ruohan, I was still thinking about that strange man. What happened today made me feel that all of this was even more confusing than the plot in the book. Who the hell is he?
Until I finished reading the whole book, had lunch with Xu Ruohan, and then separated, I didn't feel any sense of reality. I kept thinking about that man, and he made me feel as if I had come across some secret, but no matter how I thought about it, I couldn't figure out how he did it or what his purpose was.
I bought a movie ticket and walked into the cinema and checked the number on the ticket to find my seat.
The movie would not start for a while, so I let myself relax in my chair, closed my eyes slightly, and decided to throw the strange man out of my mind first and enjoy the hard-won viewing time. I deliberately chose a front-row seat, and on this weekday with low attendance, I don't think there will be any other spectators around me, which is really good.
"Hello."
The familiar voice in my ears made me almost jump out of my seat, and my eyes widened as I looked at your man standing beside me, and panic and nervousness filled my heart for a moment.
"It's a coincidence." The voice of the visitor was calm.
It's that man again! What the hell does he want to do!?
