Chapter 1: Farewell

Next Chapter

"Amin, don't forget to clean the dormitory before you leave, it's troublesome. A gust of cold wind followed the sound of fading away and squeezed into the dormitory through the crack of the door that never closed tightly, and Xu Ming, who was still half lying on the bed, shivered coldly, and got back into the quilt, and slowed down for a long time before sticking his head out of the quilt again. Xu Ming took a deep breath, stretched, and got dressed and got out of bed.

The dormitory was empty, and without Lao Zhu's Zuan-style greetings and game sound effects, there was always a feeling that it was not a taste. "It's 2020!" Xu Ming sighed, picked up the tooth cup and went into the bathroom.

Because he didn't buy an earlier ticket, Xu Ming became the latest person to walk on the 6th floor of Building 10, except for Xiaoqiang, who made an appointment with a few seniors to go on a road trip, most of the others had left the school two days ago. Xiaoqiang also left the dormitory this morning, and the entire dormitory became Xu Ming's world alone for the rest of the time. He was in the middle of the day and had a long time for him to pack up slowly. Xu Ming was not in a hurry, he washed up slowly and leisurely, and sat on the chair to eat the bread he bought yesterday.

The sky that had been cloudy for a long time finally cleared, and the morning sun was soft and comfortable. Xu Ming opened the suitcase and folded the clothes one by one and put them away. "Pop" When Xu Ming was dragging clothes from the cabinet, a pink envelope was taken out and fell to the ground. It was a love letter that didn't go out, and he thought of the girl and suddenly laughed. Xu Ming picked up the envelope, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and opened the letter.

The warm and numb love words made a ripple in the heart of the tired college student. He remembered his college life, from being positive about new things at the beginning to getting by now. It seemed like an instant, more than a year had passed. After the New Year, he will be 20 years old. Time flies so fast!" Xu Ming thought. It's not 18, it's not 19, it's 20. He put the letter back in the envelope and threw it in the trash. When I was 20 years old, I fell in love with a girl, and I wanted to give her more than just nice love words. Xu Ming sorted out his luggage, took out a pair of socks from the cabinet, subconsciously looked around, remembered that there was no one in the dormitory, laughed self-deprecatingly, picked up a sock and sniffed it, put it on his feet and pulled up the suitcase and went out.

The sun on a winter morning is like a thunderstorm in summer, only a warm light, but it does not drive away the cold. Xu Ming shrunk his neck and walked forward slowly, and the suitcase followed behind with a snort.

The mobile phone in the "Buzz" pocket suddenly vibrated twice, Xu Ming changed the lever of the suitcase from his right hand to his left hand, and then took out the mobile phone from his pocket.

"Morning, are you in the car?" Tang Jinling, the hostess of the pink love letter.

"On the way. It's too cold, get in the car. Xu Ming trembled and typed these words in the chat box, thought about it, deleted all the words after the first period, and typed again: "Just get up, what time is it, little lazy worm." Xu Ming's face flushed, gritted his teeth and nodded. Then he hurriedly threw the phone into his pocket, lowered his head and took a few breaths to his right hand, which was already red from the cold, and after his right hand warmed up a little, he quickly inserted it into his pocket, holding the cold mobile phone tightly.

"Buzz" The phone vibrated again, Xu Ming took a deep breath, and took out his phone with some weakness.

"I forgot to turn off the drama when I went to bed yesterday, and I got up in the morning and ran out of power, so I'm not you, I got up so late. The girl didn't seem to pay much attention to the phrase "little lazy worm". This made Xu Ming breathe a sigh of relief and a little lost at the same time.

"Well, I'll go to the station first. After Xu Ming finished sending this sentence, he held the mobile phone in his hand and inserted it into his pocket.

There was no movement on the phone for a long, long time. Xu Ming took out his phone more than once, turned on the screen, and put it back again. It wasn't until finally his hands were frozen like chicken paws that she sent back "Okay".

Xu Ming put the phone back in his pocket with a sense of relief, as if he had completed the task.

......

Xu Ming's home is in the province, and it is easy to go home, and Jianye has a bus that can go directly to their county, which is convenient and cheap. There are very few people at the station today, almost all the students of Jianye University are on vacation, and the adults are still working, so the number of people at the station should be the least at this time. When Xu Ming checked the ticket and got on the bus, there was only an elderly couple on the bus except the driver, and no one got on the bus until the car started.

The afternoon sun is not like the morning grinder, it is warm and dazzling, Xu Ming, who was already a little motion sick, resisted this warm sun, and began to fall asleep after a while. He looked at the time, it was just over one o'clock, put the backpack on his front leg, and fell asleep with the schoolbag in his arms.

It was dark in the middle of winter, and a cry could be faintly heard, and there was a voice. The voice seemed to be shouting something, at first it was small, like the faint sound of a bell on the top of a mountain in the distance, but it grew louder and louder, and the content of the cry became clearer and clearer. "Come back, come back......" For some reason, Xu Ming suddenly thought of Tang Jinling at this time.

Xu Ming suddenly woke up from his dream. He shook his head and looked out the window. Outside the window, there were dark clouds, and the sky and the earth were dark, as if the bright sunlight had never appeared. He looked at the time and it was already past 4 o'clock, and it was supposed to be almost home. But the scenery outside the window is somewhat unspeakably strange and weird. He'd walked this road many times, but today was the first time he had some unfamiliar feelings. He scratched his hair and looked around, it was still the same quiet. He tapped his somewhat dazed head and opened the dialog with Tang Jinling.

"Where are you, I'm almost home. ”

"I was in a taxi. Tang Jinling almost replied in seconds, "I just went out to play." ”

"Oooh. Xu Ming looked at the phone screen and stayed for a few seconds, "This weather is strange and strange, how can it be said that the sky will change like summer in winter." ”

"yes, I was fine before I got in the car, and suddenly it was overcast. ”

"Huh?" The strange feeling in Xu Ming's heart suddenly turned into uneasiness, and then into a deep fear. He stood up and looked around. The elderly couple was gone! Before he could come back to his senses, the car suddenly seemed to have hit something, the body toppled over, Xu Ming lost his center of gravity, his mind spun around, and he lost consciousness.
