[Tie up your shoelaces and put on a decent casual outfit, Guo An looks in the mirror again.
The image of a successful man with a beard comes into view.
Smiling in satisfaction in the mirror, Guo An walked out of the bedroom.
The warm lighting in this luxurious hotel room makes it extra cozy.
"Let's go, Lao Guo, the car has already parked downstairs!" A middle-aged woman as gentle as water was sitting in the living room of the room, packing the remaining luggage.
Looking at the woman Yu Xiaoshan who has been with him for many years, Guo An's eyes were full of warmth, and he rubbed the woman's well-maintained hand: "Xiaoshan, thank you for your hard work."
The woman tidied up a strand of hair beside her ear, her face flushed a little: "Oh, what's the matter, Lao Guo, you are always like this, well, you are not serious, let's go down quickly, don't let other people see us joke."
Guo An nodded with a smile, helped the woman with a piece of luggage, opened the door and walked out.
Going down to the hotel lobby, there are already many people waiting for the bus.
Guo An stopped, and his attention was attracted by a person dressed as a clown in the hotel lobby.
The clown wears a smart suit, holds several magic balls for magic tricks and wears a clown mask.
He performed a trick to the people waiting in the hall, but the technique was so clumsy that even Guo An, who didn't often watch magic tricks, couldn't help showing contempt on his face.
After a while, the clown seemed to have finally finished his magic trick and bowed to the crowd, but there was no response from the crowd, and some even began to curse.
"Cheaters! Hurry up! Get out of the way! Damn, there are liars like you everywhere!" The non-mainstream boy with his grandmother's gray hair was full of swear words, pushed away the clown blocking the door, and left the hotel.
Others also walked out of the lobby one after another, and boarded the bus that was parked at the entrance of the hotel.
Guo An also got into the car with his wife Yu Xiaoshan.
After the car started, he looked back.
I just saw the clown walking out of the hotel, taking off his hat to pay tribute to the bus driving away, his every move was indescribably weird.
Guo An looked away, looked at his worried wife, and smiled: "It's okay, I'm just curious about that busker, you don't have to worry."
The bus gradually moved away, and the luxury hotel that remained in place also gradually lost its glamorous appearance, turning into a ruined wall left by the flames.
The clown also disappeared in place.]
—From "Hell's Bus"
[Zhou Yu, I can't find you in hell...but I can't go to heaven...] The man's voice contained deep unwillingness.
[Are you leaving me?]The man whispered aggrievedly in his ear.
[Please...please...stay...] The man's voice became painful and heart-piercing.
[I will find you... wait for me! ! !]In the voice full of obsession is the love that the man cannot suppress.
! ! !
Tinnitus filled his brain, and the world in front of his eyes was constantly doubled.
Stretching out his hands, these callused hands do not belong to him...
Who is talking
Who is Zhou Yu
"Get up quickly! The journey is about to start! Zhou Yu!!! I said, are you all right?" A sharp female voice came from outside the door.
Soon, the door was opened.
"Ah—Zhou Yu! You are playing a hooligan! Shame—Mom—look at this shameless bastard!" The woman's scream stimulated his head to swell even more, but he finally came to his senses.
The world in front of him gradually became clearer, the boy sat up from the already cold bathtub, water drops fell from his pale skin.
Blinking his eyes, the boy coughed and spat out the water in his mouth.
I fell asleep while taking a bath, and it was a bit of a backache.
Picking up the bath towel that was put aside, the boy wrapped himself tightly, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Wrapped in the towel that was enough to cover his naked upper body, the boy walked out of the bathroom unsteadily.
Sure enough, his mother, who has always been prejudiced against him, just knocked on his door.
"Zhou Yu, hurry up and pack up, let's go early!" Mom continued disgustedly: "Also, pay attention in the future, Xiao Zhi is old after all, don't treat yourself as a man when you are an older brother!"
Zhou Yu fiddled with his wet hair, and replied weakly: "Got it, Mom."
Although it was my younger sister who broke in uninvited, Zhou Yu still didn't explain much to her mother.
It is useless to say more.
Even if he was justified, this woman named "Mom" and written as "eccentric" would not believe half of his words—or she believed it, but she just didn't want to blame her beloved good daughter.
The sound of the woman's footsteps gradually faded away, and Zhou Yu also dried his whole body, and turned up the temperature of the air conditioner a lot—it's rare to live in such a good hotel, and it would be a shame not to enjoy it more.
Moreover, even though it is summer now, soaking in cold water for so long is still choking for him.
The temperature gradually rose, dispelling the chill in his body, and Zhou Yu, who had returned to normal body temperature, picked up the hair dryer on the side and slowly dried his hair.
buzz-bum-
The sound of a hair dryer replaced the other noises.
This made this young man who was not very old but had experienced a lot of worldly ways feel the peace he had not seen for a long time.
He found that he was very strange today.
As usual, he should feel sorry for his mother's obvious favoritism.
But now, he didn't take it to heart at all. Instead, he felt that he didn't even have much family affection for the nominal mother in his heart—this was really unsatisfactory for himself who had always longed for family affection enough to satisfy all the unreasonable demands of his family. normal.
The blower was very powerful, and Zhou Yu's thick short hair was blown out quickly. He looked in the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror.
A Shamat boy with gray hair dyed and a face as pale as a ghost.
Kill Matt
Zhou Yu frowned, wondering why such a thought appeared in his mind.
He used to think this hairstyle was great, and it perfectly brought out his aloof temperament, but now it seems—it's okay.
Zhou Yu fiddled with his hair a little awkwardly, but Zhou Yu still couldn't continue boasting against his conscience.
What was he thinking before
Zhou Yu looked at his short hair that hung down to his neck because it hadn't been trimmed for a long time, and looked at his extremely pale face against the color of his hair.
Because of the recent layoffs in the factory, he was kicked out. Having lost his source of income, he has not gone to the barber shop to pay attention to the latest fashion hairstyles for a long time. Even this short gray hairstyle of grandma has grown into a half-length hair like a sister's head. With his smooth hair and his tender baby face, he looks like a girl when he doesn't speak.
So girly.
Zhou Yu walked away from the mirror expressionlessly, and went to the closet to find clothes to wear.
However, unexpectedly, the trendy clothes that he was very satisfied with in the past could no longer satisfy him.
Looking at the clothes covered with rivets and colorful patterns, Zhou Yu wanted to laugh a little.
Was he so childish before
After searching for a long time, he couldn't find a piece of clothing without rivets. Zhou Yu's head began to ache again. With trembling palms, he picked up the jeans, white shirt, and black coat that were pressed at the bottom.
Finally there are no holes.
Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed into his clothes.
But when he walked to the mirror, Zhou Yu still found out.
The only solid black coat in the wardrobe with no other stud embellishments had a giant skull graphic on the outside.
Zhou Yu took a deep breath for a while, but decided to endure it—because this was the only piece of clothing that wasn't too exaggerated.
To be honest, he was also very surprised, why did his previous self think that these clothes were so fashionable and decent
"How are you? Come on!"
The younger sister's sharp voice came again, but this time she had a long memory and did not rush in again.
Zhou Yu ignored her, and straightened his sleeves to make sure there were no wrinkles. Then he looked in the mirror with satisfaction, and whistled to himself.
"Perfect!"
After everything was settled, Zhou Yu threw all the clothes that did not meet his aesthetics in the closet, then casually packed a few pieces of underwear, stuffed them into the suitcase, and then hurried out of the room.
Although he didn't care as much about his so-called family's thoughts as before, he still didn't want to listen to his serious and old-fashioned parents.
Especially my sister's male duck voice.
Thinking of this, the handsome young man wrinkled his nose in disgust, as if he had heard his sister's highly recognizable scream.
Walking to the stairs, Zhou Yu, who was carrying his luggage, just happened to see his younger sister suing his mother about him.
"Mom, that Zhou Yu didn't dare to answer my words, I'm so mad! Take care of him!"
The woman who dyed her hair blond, but now her hair has turned into dry grass due to lack of maintenance, is dragging a middle-aged woman to complain.
Zhou Yu looked at this sister who was plump to over 135 kilograms, and curled his lips secretly.
I knew to file a complaint all day long, and I really didn't stay idle when I opened my mouth.
"Zhou Zhi! Be quiet!" The middle-aged man who came downstairs with a large bag of luggage frowned.
He has always been the best at saving face, but now because of his daughter's sharp and piercing complaints, he has attracted the dissatisfied eyes of many people, and he feels very ashamed.
In this family, his father Zhou Guoren is the absolute authority, and even his younger sister Zhou Zhi, who has always been arrogant, can't help but shut his mouth unwillingly.
Zhou Yu watched this farce with a little amusement.
What a family made in heaven.
Thinking like this, Zhou Yu no longer felt the loneliness and envy of the past.
Now he has lost the constant cutting and chaotic affection for these relatives, or in other words, it has been exhausted.
Having seen everything through, he made up his mind to leave this family after this trip, run far away, and never come back, so as not to obstruct their eyes.
The family of three didn't realize that Zhou Yu had come out, so they just went downstairs.
Zhou Yu didn't make a sound, and dragged his not-so-heavy suitcase down the stairs.
Soon came to the lobby on the first floor, where there were two sofas for resting - already full of people.
The other table and chair were also occupied by Zhou Guoren and the others—they finally discovered Zhou Yu's existence.
"Zhou Yu, you came down too late, next time you are called, you must come down!" The fair-faced middle-aged beautiful woman glanced at Zhou Yu, her voice was extremely cold.
Occupying the only table left, mother Lu Meng conveniently put her handbag on the last seat, as if she didn't notice that she had a son Zhou Yu who didn't have a seat.
"Okay, I'll go over there and wait for the bus."
Zhou Yu didn't take Lu Meng's actions to heart, he responded nonchalantly, and moved away from them, standing next to a pillar in the hall—it was close to the gate, and he could just see the vehicles outside.
The boy with grandmother's gray half-long hair was leaning against the pillar beside him, his eyelids half lowered in a daze. If someone didn't know him, he would definitely think him as a little girl who was afraid of strangers.
call out-
A red magic ball brushed against the strands of bangs on his forehead, bringing a cool feeling.
What
Zhou Yu blinked his eyes, and a little astonishment flashed in his dark and deep pupils.
What just flashed past
Pat-pat-
The sound of footsteps came from the side, and a man wearing a clown mask held a red magic ball in his hand and bowed to him in greeting.
Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Wow—" It's really cool!
Wearing a neat suit, the clown with indescribable elegance in every move stood in front of the crowd waiting for the bus in the lobby, and began to perform magic tricks.
a ball.
two balls.
three balls.
brush-
All gone.
The clown showed his empty white gloved palms to the crowd. There was a weird smile carved on that pale mask, and two tear-like red marks stretched from his eyes to the corners of his mouth.
After the show, the clown straightened his wrinkled sleeves and ended his performance.
He bowed gracefully and took a bow to everyone.
For a long time, no one responded, and everyone watched coldly and did not make a sound.
Zhou Yu watched the clown's performance seriously the whole time. Seeing that the clown stuffed all the balls into his sleeves, the neat cuffs were even bulged, and the edges were wrinkled.
Anyone with eyes can see that this is a poor trick.
But he is serious about acting.
Although the magic was clumsy, it did make Zhou Yu laugh.
clap clap—
Zhou Yu clapped his hands, and there was a healthy blush on his pale face, and he smiled all over his face: "It's great! Keep working hard!"
The clown, who was still in a bowing posture, stood up straight, and his perfectly proportioned tall figure was clearly revealed at this moment. Even if he couldn't see his face, people could admire his extraordinary demeanor.
With admiration in Zhou Yu's eyes, he smiled at the clown who came over to show his admiration.
The clown wears a pale mask, making it difficult to see his expression clearly, even the only exposed eye is unclear, but he expresses his excitement of meeting his confidant with rich body language.
With one hand behind his back and the other outstretched, he performed a Western-style etiquette, not like the arty pretense of many people nowadays, but a natural gentleness, as if he really came from a noble Western family that valued etiquette.
Zhou Yu didn't know much about these etiquettes, but he still bent over in embarrassment. After all, others had already performed such a big ceremony, and it always felt awkward not to do something.
Raising his head again, Zhou Yu was startled. It turned out that the clown had appeared in front of him at some point and handed him a bright rose.
Looking at the delicate and beautiful rose with drops of water, Zhou Yu slightly opened his beautiful almond eyes.
This magic is powerful.
