Chapter 1 What the World Cup

The tide of the river flows endlessly from the urban area of Lin'an, the provincial capital, day and night, and finally flows into the sea in the east.

On the south bank of the Zhijiang River, there is a famous middle school with a history of 100 years.

Lin'an Senior High School moved from the old town on the north bank to its current location in Jiangnan in 2001, and has ranked first in the city in terms of high school entrance examination scores and college entrance examination scores over the years.

Zhijiang Province has always been a strong province in education, and the competition for excellent high schools in the province is fierce.

However, Lin'an Middle School has always adhered to the concept of quality education, and cultivated students with the idea of all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor.

To put it mildly, it is not to engage in cramming education based on fractions, leaving room for students to develop freely.

The current principal of Linzhong Middle School is surnamed Gu, and he is a small celebrity in the high school education circle, and he can be in the newspaper every year for his opening speech.

Principal Gu's favorite sentence is to quote the great man's "civilization its spirit, barbarism its physique", and also set it up at the door of the basketball court.

As a boarding high school, most of the students live in the dormitory from Sunday to Thursday evenings.

Today is a Friday, so it stands to reason that there is no evening self-study, and you can pack up and go home after school in the afternoon.

But there was an event tonight, and almost no one walked.

The school announced that the opening match of this World Cup will be broadcast live on TV in each classroom at 10 o'clock, and students in each class can watch it in the classroom.

Although you can watch football at home, high school students are the most popular creatures in the world, and you have to find a companion to go to the toilet between classes.

The evening self-study time in the middle school is from six o'clock to nine o'clock, and ten o'clock is supposed to be the lights out time in the dormitory.

"Hey! Wake up, wake up, let's go, it's time to start Lin Yi! ”

Lin Yi dimly felt that someone was pushing him, but he slept very deeply and couldn't open his eyes a little.

The man was not polite, he stepped on the ladder with one foot and kicked up, and without hesitation, he lifted Lin Yi's quilt and slapped him on the thigh, making a loud "pop" sound.

"Hurry up, if you don't go, I'll go, otherwise I won't be able to catch the kickoff."

This was enough to wake Lin Yi up, he instinctively frowned, his eyes opened a small slit to adjust to the light, trying to recognize this familiar voice.

With a round head, a simple head, a pair of black-framed glasses, a slightly dark complexion, and a short-sleeved T-shirt that can't cover the thick arms.

"Lao Lu? I've lost weight lately. ”

Lin Yi recognized that this was Lu Bowen, the dormitory director of his high school, who had not come out to get together since he got married two years ago, as if he had evaporated from the world.

"Lao Lu?"

The man didn't seem to be happy with the title, "That's what you call me in your dreams?" Gotta be called Brother Lu! ”

Lin Yi hasn't figured out the situation yet, this kind of childish game of "I'm your big brother, you're my little brother" hasn't been played for many years.

However, Lu Bowen did not get entangled, this kind of conversation happened between them almost every day.

As soon as he saw that Lin had woken up, he jumped out of bed, clapped his hands and said:

"Hurry down, the World Cup is about to start."

Lao Lu used to be a football player who graduated from a school under Qingcheng Group, and has been training in the youth group of the Chinese Super League club - Lin'an Qingcheng team for several years.

After being admitted to Linzhong High School, he gave up the path of professional football.

Although he didn't eat this bowl of rice, he is a real fan, and he must chase the World Cup, which is completely different from Lin Yi, who watches the game intermittently every four years.

They have been to the Chinese Super League scene of the Lin'an Qingcheng team together, and they have also watched late-night games in the bar, but:

"What World Cup? It's only June, and the World Cup in Qatar is in November, so there's still a lot of months to go. ”

"What Qatar? Haven't you woken up yet, South Africa! ”

Lin Yi's mind was still confused, and he was so confused that he couldn't speak.

He sat up from the bed with his prop on, and was surprised to notice that he was now lying on the top of a bunk bed, and when he looked at the side, there were exactly two identical ones.

Looking to the other side, six neat small desks were arranged in a row, and some textbooks and workbooks were cluttered on them.

Where is this, why is it so similar to the dormitory of Linzhong back then!

He looked at Lu Bowen again, and this time he finally found that he was not thin, but more like "rejuvenation".

Lin Yi finally realized something, he remembered the topic just now, and asked:

"What are you talking about the World Cup?"

"World Cup in South Africa! Kick Mexico in the opener! ”

Lu Bowen felt that he was sleeping stupidly, and raised his wrist and looked at his watch speechlessly, "I don't care, you come by yourself, I'll go to the classroom first." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly walked out.

World Cup in South Africa?

That was twelve years ago!

Memories began to gradually awaken in his mind, and Lin Yi carefully recalled what had happened before: the company's layoffs, the 10th anniversary of graduation, Gu Caiwei, zebra crossings, and dazzling car lights......

Thinking of this, he checked his body

- Unscathed, not even a little scratched.

Even if you survive such an accident, you should wake up in a white and bright hospital bed covered in bandages.

So where is it?

Familiar arrangement, Lao Lu, who suddenly became younger, already had a conjecture that was very close to the truth, but it was too bizarre.

He was an atheist.

Make bold assumptions and verify carefully.

Lin Yi took more than ten seconds to figure out what happened, grabbed the railing next to the bed and climbed down from the top bunk, identified it, and put on a pair of familiar slippers.

He walked over to the six desks, each of which was stacked with books, homework books, and papers.

Pick up a roll casually, name: Chen Yang, class: 414.

The class number of the middle school will be added to the three years of junior high school, and 414 means the fourteenth class of high school.

Look at the table next to you: Xiao Haocheng, Zhang Xiaochuan, Liu Pengfei, Lu Bowen......

Sure enough, all of them were roommates from three years of high school.

Lin Yi digested it and exhaled.

He thought about it, went inside again, opened a sliding door, and walked to the balcony, where he could see that most of the dormitory rooms next to him were dark, and only a few rooms in the whole building were lit up.

The library in front of it was dark, and the school building further south was brightly lit, and through the windows you could see the classrooms crowded with people and the noise of noise.

The Changchun Gymnasium farther away is only illuminated in silhouette.

Looking to the west, there is a cafeteria along the path at the entrance of the dormitory.

To the east, there is a basketball court, a rostrum, and a playground......

The familiar red wall is really a long-lost Linzhong campus!

Lin Yi felt his heart beating hard, and now he needed a final piece of evidence to confirm the time.

He returned to the room, climbed back into bed, and sure enough, he found a Casio F-91W next to his pillow, probably the cheapest world-class watch.

It's a common thing for high school students to have in their hands, but he should have lost it when he went to college.

It doesn't matter.

He pressed the button on the side, and on the blue-black dial, the LCD screen clearly showed today's date:

June 11, 2010.

!

It was difficult for Lin Yi to accurately describe the complex feelings in his heart now, but he only felt a strong emotion surging in his chest.

True Ye Qing returns to !!

He came to the balcony and shouted loudly into the night sky:

"Ahhh......h

It's a pity that his excitement only lasted three seconds before it was interrupted, and the voice of the dormitory manager came from downstairs with a stern questioning voice:

"Who! Which dormitory! ”
