The job I desperately wanted was right in front of me, but it was cut off by the sudden arrival of Ritsu Zhaochuan. Because I was so flustered, I didn't even have time to say goodbye to Zhang Jifan. That night, I tossed and turned, and I couldn't sleep completely. So, the next morning, just after dawn, I packed up and set out. I think that in order to ensure that the flowers sold are fresh enough, the restocking process is all processed in the early hours of the morning, so the florist staff also needs to get up early to prepare. If I'm lucky, I should meet Zhang Jifan.

With this in mind, I rushed to Zhang Jifan's flower shop in one go, and when I found that the door was locked, I immediately threw myself at the window, and I pressed my whole face to the windowpane and tried to look inside.

Sure enough, Zhang Jifan was inside, with his head down, recording something in his notebook.

I tapped lightly on the glass. Zhang Jifan turned his head at the sound, and then froze, obviously frightened by my fierce gaze.

He took the key and opened the door of the store, opened the door and came out: "Selangor, why are you so early?" ”

Me: "That day, what you said about the job you were going to introduce to me, does it still count?" ”

Zhang Jifan was stunned and smiled.

I sat down on the couch in the florist's lounge area again. I'm not a guest this time, though. I attended the planning meeting of the brochure chaired by Zhang Jifan, and today I mainly discussed the overall structure and illustration style of the brochure. Zhang Jifan introduced me to the others present: "This is our illustrator, and then he will be a member of our team. I straightened my back and greeted everyone: "I'll try." ”

I'm an illustrator!

I maintained my apparent calmness, but my heart was already turbulent.

- Mom and Dad, I'm a working person too! Dad, I'm going to survive on my own......

At the end of the planning meeting, Zhang Jifan agreed with him on the itinerary, time and place of the next meeting: "Next time we go back to the flower garden, there will be a special car to send us there, just don't be late at that time." Everyone nodded. Zhang Jifan announced the end of the meeting, and everyone said goodbye one after another. I also followed everyone down, Zhang Jifan stopped me, he took his mobile phone and asked me: "Selangor, I don't know your mobile phone number yet?" ”

I paused and told the truth: "I don't have a cell phone." ”

Zhang Jifan looked up at me in shock: "You don't have a mobile phone? His expression at the moment was the same as before.

I laughed.

Yes, I don't have a cell phone, maybe I did, but now I don't. My dad didn't buy me a phone, and I didn't ask for it because I had no one to contact and no one had contacted me. Even if I memorize the address book and memorize the faces in the photos, I can't remember the connections behind the names and the faces - what is our relationship, is it close? Perhaps, I voluntarily chose to be withdrawn.

Seeing my confusion, Zhang Jifan immediately spoke out to comfort me, attributing my derailment from society to my maverick. Haha, he's really good at talking!

Looking at his cautious and cautious appearance, I smiled and said, "It's really inconvenient to not have a mobile phone." I'll buy one as soon as possible. Can you give me your contact details first? I'll message you as soon as I get my phone. ”

"Of course." Visibly relieved, he wrote down his phone number on a sticky note and handed it to me: "Keep in touch." ”

"Thank you."

I walked back.

Getting a job makes me feel good. Humming a song, I walked briskly down the street, feeling so endearing to every patch of grass that was shaken off the trees by the wind, and every little grass that struggled to squeeze out of the cracks. Therefore, I didn't realize that I was being "followed" in a clumsy way......

The other party is a woman.

She wears a long black dress, a black hat with a wide edge on the top of her head, and sunglasses that fly on the edge. The outfit itself attracted attention, and with the fact that she followed me, I could inadvertently turn around a few times to see her deliberately turning her face to look elsewhere. After a few temptations, I determined that she was following me. Equipment can hide her face, but it can't hide her sneaky behavior.

I calmly moved forward, judging the terrain around me. Walk again, and there is a dark alley at the next intersection. I made up my mind and quickened my pace. After turning the corner, I quickly hid in the dark alley, waited with bated breath, and after a while, sure enough, I saw the girl in the black dress kicking and chasing with a seven-centimeter high heel. I saw that she was stunned and frustrated that she couldn't track her subject.

"You're looking for me?" I walked out of the dark alley and asked slowly.

The other party's shoulders jumped, and he turned around suddenly, and when he saw me appear behind her, his face suddenly turned white. She stumbled back two steps, and the sunglasses on her face fell to the ground. Behind the sunglasses is a bright and delicate face. She stared at me for a few seconds, then spread her fingers to cover her face.

It's all covered after reading it, what kind of trick is this?

I took two steps closer to her and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?" Why did you follow me all the way? ”

She was stunned, slowly put down her hand, and whispered, "I'm Lin Xuanyan." ”

I quickly recalled the address book and alumni directory I had memorized—I was sure, the name.

"You're also—" She paused, her words furrowed, "I'm a friend of Ritsu Zhaochuan!" ”

"Oh?" My tail note goes up.

"Friends of many years." She added.

Each of her sentences was short, and the pace of her speech was slow, and each sentence seemed to be thought over and over before she spoke. And so do I. This kind of tug-of-war conversation strikes me as dangerous, and I sense as if she's trying to get some information from me......

"I have something to give back to you." As she spoke, she dug and pulled out something in her purse, and pinched it and reached for me. I lowered my eyes, and she was clutching a small blue pencil sharpener.

My pencil sharpener, it was lost in the useless resistance by the pool that day.

It turned out that she was present that day, and she witnessed my embarrassment and embarrassment the whole time.

I looked at her again. To be honest, I have no impression of this face. Every girl present that day, whether it was Chishang or Chixia, maintained exquisite makeup, and all of them were very beautiful. Coupled with the ambiguous lighting, every face seems to be exactly the same. At that time, I was struggling to survive, how could I be in the mood to carry their faces.

Does she belong in the pool area, or in the sofa area?

"So, you came to me to return the knife?"

She nodded.

My face sank suddenly: "Since you were here that day, you know that my temper is not very good. This knife is small but sharp, and if you accidentally draw it on your delicate face, it will cut into the bottom of the dermis. Tell me, what are you looking for me for! ”

"I ......" she was hesitant and unable to cope with my harsh words.

I unfolded my knife and pressed it towards her.

She was frightened for a moment, and said earnestly: "I really know Lu Zhaochuan, I am his college student, and we also participate in the same club. That day, you fell into a coma, I took care of you, and I changed your clothes for you! It's true! ”

Hearing this, I loosened my tight shoulders......

In order to come up with a plan for the brochure as soon as possible, I crouched down on the desk in front of the window and worked all night.

Before I knew it, it was late at night, and when I rubbed my sore shoulders and took a cup of water, I raised my eyes to see Ritsu Zhaochuan standing under the red maple in the middle of the courtyard, looking at me from afar.

A mouthful of water tumbled down my throat, and I coughed several times......

He was dressed in black silk pajamas, and he stood still even when I spotted him.

Is he spying on me?

How long has he been standing there?

The moon hung over the courtyard like a huge lamp, casting a silvery glow all over the courtyard. The light was like a shawl, and he gradually became hazy......

After staring back at him for a long time, I finally realized that something was wrong—from the time I found him until now, he was actually motionless!

I simply put down my pen, pushed the door out, and walked straight in front of him. He turned a deaf ear to my coming. I resisted the urge to call him by name and walked around him. He was still staring ahead, unmoving.

- Oh my God!

I covered my mouth in amazement, it was the first time I had seen someone sleepwalking!

I heard the old man in Licheng say that when you meet a sleepwalker, you can't call him by his name, it will scare his soul. He must be properly guided so that he can go back, so as not to get out of trouble everywhere. I recalled the taboos and guidance I had heard, and raised my hand and shook it in front of Ritsu Zhaochuan's stagnant pupils.

And the man who had been motionless suddenly raised his hand and grabbed my shaking hand, lowered his eyes coldly, and stared at me. I gasped sharply and stopped my exclamation in time.

"What do you do?" He asked, his discrete gaze now focused on my face.

I was dumbfounded: "You, you ......"

"What are you, I'm asking you, you look sneaky, what the hell do you want to do!" He was a little impatient, and a little fireworks lit up in his eyes.

I was a little discouraged and honestly confessed: "I thought you were sleepwalking." ”

Lu Zhaochuan was speechless, and admonished helplessly: "You can't think of something normal?" ”

Normal......

Only then did I notice that his forehead was covered with fine and dense sweat, and even wet the hair on his forehead, so trance-like appearance, not like sleepwalking, but like a nightmare.

Thinking about this, I tentatively asked, "Are you having a nightmare?" ”

"......" he couldn't even refute.

"No, I was right!" I exclaimed.

He glared at me fiercely, a minute, or five minutes, as long as a century. There was a bit of panic in his eyes that was recognized, the annoyance of being teased, and at the same time, a bit of calm gentleness. The long gaze is mixed with several emotions and looks very weatherful.

Suddenly, as if he woke up, he quickly hid his emotions and turned away.

Watching his back leave, I was still indulging in great amazement.

He is Lu Zhaochuan, such a domineering and flamboyant person, who puts on a look of self-sacrifice anytime and anywhere, will even have times when he is frightened and afraid......

I laughed and shook my head to get back to my room, and as I walked, I stopped abruptly. Look back at the closed door of the white room......

In the night breeze, I repeatedly thought of Ritsu Zhaochuan's face, and the last time he looked at me. is like the helplessness of an iceberg to a corner of the falling and drifting away, like the abruptness of a fishing lantern to the fate of floating and sinking with the waves.

There was a fleeting hint of unseemly sadness and a hint of panic on his face, as if he was hiding something...... I was not mistaken, because my "conjecture" was quickly confirmed......
