There is still half a month before the sports meeting.
University sports meeting is different from high school. It is not necessary for everyone to attend. It is enough for each class to gather more than 20 people. Generally, the class committee must come, and others come voluntarily.
The three-day sports meeting is the busiest time for the school besides recruiting new students and the food festival. A main road leading from the living area to the teaching area is full of stalls.
The biggest ones are communication providers. Telecom and Mobile don’t let go of any opportunity to get work done, shouting face to face, and never get tired of passionate collisions for ten thousand years.
Secondly, the sponsors of the students abroad, such as restaurants or overseas agencies, as long as they have the seal of the school party department, they are also allowed to enter the campus to promote during the sports meeting.
There are also small groups of students themselves, who will also join in the fun and recruit people.
Bai Lu and Sister Pi are in charge of the posters and roll-ups in Xu Hui's store, because during the discussion, Xu Hui left a message saying not to worry about the budget, so Sister Pi outsourced this matter to a professional from the Academy of Art. Junior sisters will do it.
The first time it was handed in quickly, Sister Pi showed it to Bai Lu, Bai Lu only glanced at it, and asked Sister Pi to ask her junior sister if she wanted to do it, so don't waste time.
The second time the junior sister came to the dormitory in person with the picture, Bai Lu spent half an hour discussing with her, and finally picked out a few points that needed to be changed. Afterwards, the junior sister secretly asked Sister Pi, did your dormitory master have studied design
"No." Sister Pi said, "But she reads a lot and knows everything, she's just a miscellaneous." Then she realized, and raised her hand to knock on the head of the junior sister.
"You still dare to mess around! Are you looking for a draw?"
The little junior sister covered her head, "I'm just joking."
The third time I handed it in, I was finally satisfied.
On Saturday morning, Bai Lu was going to Xu Hui's shop. Sister Pi woke up very early in the morning and said she wanted to be together.
Because it was still early and there were few people in the shop, Sister Pi made several phone calls in a row before getting the drowsy Sun Yuhe down from the twelfth floor.
He just woke up, in a daze, wearing a tank top and shorts, and slippers on his feet.
Sun Yuhe didn't understand poster design, and he couldn't offer any comments. He only felt that the impact and color of the picture were very good, so he nodded in agreement.
Sister Pi asked, "Where's your boss? Let him see it too."
"He doesn't care, I'll do it."
Because the poster is very large, several tables are pushed together. Bai Lu stood at the table, listening to Sister Pi's conversation with Sun Yuhe.
"So it's settled? If it's settled, we'll go to print."
"Row."
"For printing, we plan to print fifty copies of the large poster, little—"
"Miss Pi."
Bai Lu interrupted her suddenly. Sister Pi turned her head and looked at Bai Lu, "What's wrong, Chief."
Bai Lu said in a low voice: "I remembered that our mobile hard disk seemed to be forgotten in the printing shop downstairs of the dormitory last night."
"Ah!?" Sister Pi exclaimed, "All the Korean dramas I downloaded all night are in it! I'm counting on it for the meeting in the afternoon!"
Suddenly fidgeting.
"No, no, I have to go and see. That... the chief..."
Bai Lu nodded, "You go, I'll take the things back later."
"Then I'll go first!" Sister Pi greeted Sun Yuhe, "I'm sorry, I really can't wait to see you."
Sister Pi left, and the empty water bar seemed extraordinarily quiet.
Breaking away from the moonlight and night, this place is really as the youngest said, quiet and fresh.
With a snap, Sun Yuhe lit a cigarette beside him.
Bai Lu rolled up the poster on the desktop and looked at Sun Yuhe. His gaze was much sharper than before.
I don't know if it was the tobacco that made him completely sober.
"What about Xu Hui?"
Sun Yuhe smoke was still in his mouth, "What does it have to do with you?"
Quiet.
Boys and girls have strong memories, and Bai Lu can even memorize the contents of Sun Yuhe's last text messages two years ago verbatim.
two years.
The road of life is not long, and the youthful years are not short.
Bai Lu lowered her head slightly, without looking, she could imagine the rejection in Sun Yuhe's eyes.
At a certain moment when the sun was shining directly, she remembered the fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood" from her childhood. She may be the deceitful Grandma Wolf, but she has dropped the disguise prematurely before she can reach Little Red Riding Hood's house.
It's useless to say anything now.
After a long time, Bai Lu hummed lightly, "That's how it is, I will—"
Sun Yuhe interrupted her: "Are you in charge of your module class? Or is Huang Xinying in charge?"
"I'm in charge." Bai Lu paused, and then said, "If you want Huang Xinying to take care of it, it's fine, but her courses are different from ours. We must follow us to the end when we choose a course. If you don't want to see us —”
"It's not that I don't want to see you." Sun Yuhe said meaningfully.
Bai Lu reflexively clenched the poster in her hand.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Lu let go again.
Take a deep breath and say in a low voice: "Okay, you don't want to see me, I will try not to show up."
Her steps had never been so decisive before, Bai Lu lifted her foot and walked out.
"...stop." Sun Yuhe said in a low voice.
stop.
Not over yet
That goes on.
What do you say today, what do I listen to.
Bai Lu stood at the door of the water bar, the wind blowing in the corridor brought the damp water vapor in the corridor. Her fingertips were cold, waiting for Sun Yuhe's next words.
"I know all about it, you fucking dare."
"You play us like monkeys, don't you?"
"Pretending to be like that, so pitiful... My heart is as cruel as a wolf, how could there be someone like you."
The footsteps gradually approached, and Sun Yuhe's voice was close to her.
"Do you dare to turn your head and let me see?"
Bai Lu didn't move, but Sun Yuhe kicked away the chair next to her. In the empty environment, the sound of the chair falling to the ground was particularly ear-piercing.
Sun Yuhe walked up to Bai Lu by himself. Bai Lu lowered her head and was roughly raised by Sun Yuhe's hand.
Bai Lu's face is small—in fact, she is very petite, with thin eyebrows, small lips, and a pointed chin.
But it was such a thin and thin person that made Sun Yuhe feel a cold stubbornness.
Sun Yuhe's subordinates did not move lightly, slightly turning Bai Lu's face aside.
He scolded viciously: "Bitch!"
Bai Lu turned around.
The chest is empty, and every heartbeat can be heard.
Sun Yuhe stretched out his index finger and pointed at her forehead, "I tell you, what Ah Hui wants to do is his own business, no one can control it. I don't care, and you are even more unworthy!"
Bai Lu nodded, "Got it."
Opening his mouth was a bit unexpected, and his voice was a little hoarse.
Sun Yuhe was silent, Bai Lu: "Are you done? Then I'm leaving."
Sun Yuhe was standing, Bai Lu moved past him and pushed open the door of the water bar.
As soon as she stepped into the slightly cool corridor, her heart also froze, and like the glass door behind her, it closed slowly and automatically.
When there was still a slight gap left, Sun Yuhe's voice came over—
"Brother Ah Hui is dead."
There was a sudden buzzing in the ears, and the wind was laughing wantonly.
The corridor became empty in an instant, and the damp breath scraped the bones, as if to tear off the skin.
Sun Yuhe: "Ah Hui is different from before. He has left home and has broken away from the past."
"For the past two years, he has been working in other places and made money. He only came to Hangzhou this year to open a shop. I don't know why he came here, but I advise you not to be sentimental. Ah Hui is doing well now, and there is no shortage of women. " Sun Yuhe squinted at Bai Lu's back, "Except for being fooled by someone once, all women have nothing to say to him."
"So I'm telling you, get away from him—"
"when… "
Bai Lu spoke suddenly, her voice was very soft.
It was so light that Sun Yuhe didn't hear clearly at all. "what?"
"When did he die?" Bai Lu lowered her head, "His younger brother."
Sun Yuhe frowned, "What's the matter with you—"
Bai Lu turned around, and Sun Yuhe stopped abruptly.
Bai Lu stared at him, that expression made Sun Yuhe feel that what she said was far more important than what he had to say.
"Is it last winter?"
Sun Yuhe was stunned.
Bai Lu was still looking at him, "Last winter, December 7th."
Sun Yuhe's eyes widened, "Why do you—"
Before he finished speaking, Bai Lu had verified the answer. She nodded slightly, talking to herself.
"I see, thank you..."
Sun Yuhe didn't have time to ask any more questions, Bai Lu had already left with her things. He could only run to the corridor in time and shouted to her: "Don't look for Xu Hui! Do you hear me!"
This time, Bai Lu didn't answer.
In Hangzhou in September, the steam oven is the same. The moment Bai Lu came out of the building, she felt dizzy and sweated profusely.
But she didn't feel the heat.
Instead, she saw another scene in front of her eyes.
In winter in Hangzhou, it is as cold inside and outside.
Bai Lu is afraid of heat but not cold, and she doesn't wear much in winter, except for a thick scarf around her neck, which looks a bit bulky.
Early in the morning, she followed the large group of students to the teaching area.
The wind was blowing, and people were too lazy to talk.
In December, it has entered the end-of-term review stage. The teacher quickly draws the knowledge points and test scope every day, and the students' enthusiasm for class is unprecedentedly high.
Walking to the place between the playground and the gymnasium, Bai Lu's cell phone rang.
She took it out, it was an unfamiliar number, and the location was Guangzhou.
After the call was connected, there was no one talking on the phone, and Bai Lu asked several times in a row, but nothing came out.
When she thought it was a prank and was about to hang up the phone, she seemed to hear a breath on the phone.
Recalling afterwards, she couldn't tell whose breath it was, or if it was simply the wind. It was just that at that moment, she was caught by a breath that seemed to be phantom and real.
That silent phone call lasted half an hour.
Bai Lu didn't know what she was thinking at the time, she didn't go to morning class, hid in the gym, and passed the half hour quietly until the other party hung up the phone.
She didn't call back either.
The feet were nailed to the ground, the sun was scorching, and Bai Lu's hands and feet were trembling.
The two forces in the bottom of my heart were pulling, and finally I struggled with a tearing feeling.
Ten thousand voices are roaring in my ears, let's go! go go go go! leave it! This is more difficult than ever, interfering is suffering!
There was only one voice, telling her softly from the bottom of my heart—go back, help him, please.
Bai Lu discerned carefully, and heard that it was herself two years ago.
She tried to take a step outside the street, and just as she stepped out, tears filled her eyes.
The voice is still saying—
He is calling for your help.
You owe him.
The elevator went straight to the twelfth floor, and the corridor was quiet.
She took out her mobile phone, hung it by her side, and quickly dialed the eleven-digit number without even looking at the screen.
After pressing the call button, Bai Lu walked along the corridor.
In order not to miss any sound, he held his breath.
She didn't know if he changed the number or if he turned off the phone. She didn't know what kind of attitude he would appear in.
For everything hazy, she can only guess and experiment.
Suppressing anxiety and uneasiness, I kept saying to myself——
Bai Lu, you must persevere.
Your heart will never be at peace if you don't respond to that phone call.
The next second, the bell rang.
You don't even have to go, it's in the room next to you.
When Bai Lu turned around, the ringing stopped and was cut off by the people in the room.
"Xu Hui."
Through a door, Bai Lu asked, "Are you inside?"
No one responded.
"let's talk."
Still no response.
Bai Lu whispered, "Wednesday, seven o'clock in the evening, I will wait for you at the fountain behind the square."
