Everyone's life is more or less the same, and it's fairly simple—from the womb to the grave. Of course, special circumstances are not ruled out, after all, some people died in such a miserable situation that they were not even eligible to enjoy the cemetery.

Standing on an absolute high place and looking down, life is more like a "line". People are always on the move, moving from one place to another. The movement of man is the extension of the "line", and life and death are the two ends of the "line", a starting point and an end point.

Life is finite, and so is the world. There are too many "lines" in a limited world, each of which stretches and intertwines with each other, and collides with other "lines" in their respective trajectories. The intersection of that contact is the fusion of two completely different lives, the meeting of two people.

met, just like Xu Sheng and Xu Lizi today.

Some people see each other every day but don't even know their names, and when they turn around, they forget everything completely, as if they are passing by. And some people, although they just glance at it, will never forget it for the rest of their lives, and they will always remember it in their hearts.

Xu Sheng looked at Xu Lizi, and from her beautiful eyes, he seemed to see a piece of sky, a sky that he often looked up to, full of stars.

Looking at Xu Sheng's face flushed, and his reading voice lowered little by little.

Xu Lizi looked at Xu Sheng, looked at his dumb appearance, and couldn't help but laugh. The smile was unfurling, and it looked very good.

"Ahem, ahem!" Xu Sheng coughed dryly, finally realized his gaffe, and deliberately raised his voice, wanting to maintain a little majesty as a "teacher".

Xu Lizi was very cooperative, smiled in a blink of an eye, sat up straight, and listened attentively. showed a completely different style from before, everyone's beautiful demeanor.

Time passed little by little, and Xu Sheng had long forgotten about time.

"Ah——!h

A long yawn interrupted Xu Sheng's thoughts, and as soon as he looked up, the little maid was shaking her head and stretching her waist.

"Sir, if you don't eat lunch, you can't save dinner, right?" The little maid pouted, looking slightly angry.

"Huh?!" Xu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then swept his eyes and looked out the window. At this moment, the sun is setting, and it is approaching dusk.

Before he knew it, he had been talking for four hours!

"What a rude, what a rude!" Xu Sheng only felt that his face was hot, and he apologized again and again, obviously a little flustered.

"It's not in the way, Mr. is also a studious man with a good temperament. I listened to my husband's lecture, and I was also fascinated, and I was carried away for a while, I didn't know how long it had been. Xu Lizi put down the book, blinked her bright and slightly sour eyes, and said softly.

"Thank you Miss for your false praise, I really deserve it, I missed Miss for a meal, and I deserved to die for my little sin." Xu Sheng's words were obviously heavy, but when he thought of the person in front of him because he was hungry, his heart was full of shame and remorse.

"Mr. is too serious, I have listened to Mr.'s high words, and I don't feel hungry for a long time." Xu Lizi quipped, smiling like a flower. No, it should be said that it is more beautiful than flowers.

"I'm really sorry, it's going to be dinner soon, Xiaosheng can't bother anymore, say goodbye." Xu Sheng hurriedly saluted, and didn't wait for Xu Lizi to react, buried his head, and walked straight away.

If you don't go, he really doesn't know what to say. When he was teaching, he was fine, but as soon as he put down the books and really talked about the sky, he felt that the world was spinning. On weekdays, some simple words can't be spoken, and in the face of Xu Lizi, his thoughts seem to be blocked by something, and his tongue seems to be knotted.

He walked fast, faster and faster, and his mind was full of Xu Lizi's face. Before he knew it, he actually walked through his small courtyard and marched towards the "Tianchi Garden......

Gradually into the middle of the night, the lights were lit up up and down the Xu Mansion, except for some remote and secret places. Xu Lizi lay on the table, pinched an embroidery needle in her hand, and played with the tongue of fire that the candle danced with interest.

"Peony, what do you say about that gentleman today?" After a while, Xu Lizi felt a little bored, looked at the little maid who accompanied her day and night, and asked casually.

"A boring, pedantic nerd." The little maid named Peony pursed her lips with a look of disdain.

"Really? I don't think so. Xu Lizi seemed to remember something, paused for a while, and then said softly: "I think he is quite interesting, besides, nerds are really knowledgeable." ”

"What kind of true knowledge, you will read according to the book, Miss, you are not illiterate, you can only read what do you want him to do? Don't talk about Miss, even if I follow you all these years, I can recognize you. Some sentences don't understand, let him explain, he can be good, the more he explains, the more confusing it becomes. Three meals a day, this lunch is just gone, if I don't remind it, I guess dinner will be saved. The boss is a person, and someone has to remind me even to eat, and it's the first time I've seen you. He didn't care if he was hungry, and he even pulled the young lady to starve...... "The more peony talks, the more energetic it becomes."

Xu Lizi shook her head helplessly. Peony, it's good anywhere, but once the chatterbox is opened, it can't be closed.

By the time Xu Sheng arrived at the "Tianchi Garden", it was completely dark, and it was the end of the hour. It's summer, but it's early summer, and it's already night.

"How did you get here?" By the time Xu Sheng reacted, he was already standing at the door of the "Tianchi Garden". He held his breath and looked in, and the open door was dark, deep and deep.

Xu Sheng remembered clearly, there was a tombstone there!

Now he only felt creepy, his hairs stood on end, and before he knew it, he had been dragged here.

In an instant, he was soaking wet!

He struggled to move his body, his legs and stomach whirling, and little by little he retreated towards the rear. There were some things that were far beyond his comprehension, and he didn't want to get too involved.

"Since you're here, let's come in." The empty and old voice suddenly rushed into Xu Sheng's mind, and he trembled, stood still, and his heart was broken.

"Who?!" Xu Sheng gritted his teeth, his eyes cracked.

"Come in, I've been waiting for you here for a long time, and I haven't waited for anyone in years, how long? I can't even remember it myself. The voice seemed to be reminiscing about the past, but every word clearly revealed a majesty. Xu Sheng stepped back further, but found that he couldn't move a bit, and an invisible force blocked his retreat.

"Come in, you don't have a choice." The voice suddenly increased a little, and I could hear some anger.

I had no choice but to go in, and there was no other way.

Xu Sheng gritted his teeth, rolled up his sleeves, and his eyes were blazing. Although he knew that his strength was limited, maybe it was just a mantis arm as a car, he still put on a fighting posture.

Xu Sheng slowly but forcefully, step by step, walked towards the "Tianchi Garden", approaching the mysterious tombstone little by little.

The night is incomparably heavy. At this time, everything is silent, the heavens and the earth are silent, there is no wind and no rain, no stars and no moon.

Xu Sheng didn't even dare to breathe, every step was extremely serious, and he walked for a long time in just a distance of more than ten zhang.

In front of the tombstone was a figure, lying on its back, unusually low.

"...... is this back!?"

Xu Sheng was horrified in his heart, he had seen this figure in the strange place where he was being interrogated last night. Judging from the circumstances at the time, the owner of this figure had extremely high authority.

"Hah! Ha! Little by little, the figure turned. Xu Sheng's heart was pounding, and he was about to reach his throat.

Belch!

It turned out to be a young and handsome face! When the figure completely turned around, Xu Sheng saw it very clearly. He had thought it would be an old man.

"You're here."

"I ...... I'm coming. Xu Sheng stumbled, and he couldn't even speak. The strange man in front of him, both young and old, was looking at him directly, with a strange and playful smile on his face, and he panicked when he saw it.

"Tsk! Tut! ”

The strange man let out a sound of admiration, circled around Xu Sheng, looked carefully, and then said slowly: "What a good baby, I don't know how many people have been deceived, what a perfect fake!"

"What do you mean?" Xu Sheng was watched so closely that on the one hand, he was afraid, and on the other hand, he felt a little annoyed.

"Don't get angry, don't get me wrong." The strange man said slowly, word by word: "I'm here to ask you for help." ”

"Help?!"

"That's right, little friend, I need your help." The strange man grinned with his teeth, and the horror infiltrated people, making Xu Sheng feel uncomfortable.

"How can I help? What can I do if I am a waste person? Xu Sheng was curious, and at the same time, a bad premonition appeared in his heart.

The strange man ignored him and turned to look at the tombstone, and Xu Sheng also looked with him.

"What do you see?" The weirdo asked.

"Tombstone...... There is also an inscription: "Xu Sheng didn't know what the strange man meant, and hesitated for a while before answering."

"Is it pretty?"

Xu Sheng was in the fog when he was asked by the strange person, thought for a long time, and said in a low voice: "The words are quite good-looking." ”

"Hah! Ha! Ha! Ha! The strange man laughed and said meaningfully; Here's what's better down here. ”
