From then on, every Saturday has become their regular meeting time, but Ji Xiaobei doesn't know it. He only knows that every Saturday night has become the most anticipated time of the week, and cz2046 is really cool and powerful. He seems to have seen every movie, so his image is growing in Ji Xiaobei's heart. stand up…

As for Chen Zhuo, every Saturday is his busiest time. On the days when there is a task to explain, he will get up very early to familiarize himself with the manuscript, and talk to Beibei once at noon, usually at the coffee shop in front of Beibei's residential area, because after hanging up, he will "pick up" Beibei to the cinema. .

Chen Zhuo followed Beibei every five meters. When he saw an obstacle in front of him, he helped him deal with it in advance, and escorted him to the cinema safely and safely. When it was Chen Zhuo's turn to explain, he explained it well; on days when there was no explanation task, he quietly sat next to Beibei two seats away. Beibei was very serious when watching movies, and Chen Zhuo found that he liked to bite his hands when he was serious, like a child. After the movie ended, Chen Zhuo sent Beibei home.

After a few weeks, Beibei suddenly said seriously one night, "I want to tell you something!"

Chen Zhuo's heart skipped a beat, his first reaction was that he lost his vest, and he replied calmly, "What's wrong?"

Beibei cleared his throat and said solemnly to him, "I've listened to it several times, but our commentator's voice is better! Just a little... just a little!"

After waiting for a while, cz2046 didn't reply. Ji Xiaobei was a little flustered. He was afraid that cz2046 would get angry and ignore him: "Hello? Why didn't you speak? I'm telling the truth."

In fact, Chen Zhuo was covering the microphone. He was afraid that he would accidentally laugh out loud... His question was inherently insidious, and Beibei's answer was enough for him to enjoy it for a long time.

In the end, he said shamelessly: "I think it's mainly because you haven't heard my real voice. The voice has changed across the network cable. How can it count? You say so?"

Ji Xiaobei hadn't figured out how to answer him when he heard the second half of cz2046's tentative sentence: "Babe, why don't we meet?"

Ji Xiaobei's mind went blank, and without thinking, he spit out three words: "I don't want it!" Then he cut off the connection in a panic, and burrowed into the quilt.

Ji Xiaobei thought that cz2046 wouldn't like him, knowing that he couldn't see it was one thing, but it was another thing to face each other.

He didn't want cz2046 to see what he looked like in reality. He was afraid that cz2046 would be frightened and would not play with him in the future.

In the blink of an eye, it's the coldest time of the year, and it has snowed intermittently since Monday. The screening on Saturday was planned to be cancelled, but this time the narrator was a senior in high school. The little girl took her spare time to prepare for a long time. After this volunteer service is over, she will prepare for the college entrance examination wholeheartedly, and she will not be able to come again for a long time.

In order not to let the little girl's efforts go to waste, the administrator finally decided to show the show on time as usual this weekend, but specially sent a notice to remind everyone that the road is slippery in snowy days, and they decided not to come to watch the movie according to the actual situation. Safety first.

Chen Zhuo said several times that week to tell Beibei not to go out. Beibei agreed very obediently, but Chen Zhuo didn't pick him up from the community and went directly to the cinema.

Unexpectedly, when it was almost two o'clock, Beibei suddenly appeared at the door with a guide stick. He dressed himself round and round, still the bright warm yellow down, and the wet arm was a little dirty, and it looked like he had fallen over.

Chen Zhuo went out to get a cup of hot water to warm his hands, Beibei said thank you, and then held the paper cups in both hands, taking sips like small animals.

Chen Zhuo couldn't hold back for a while: "Be careful!"

Beibei was stunned for a moment, then turned his head in his direction and smiled: "Is that Mr. Chen? I have a friend with a very similar voice to yours."

When Chen Zhuo was explaining, he introduced himself as Xiao Chen, but the audience respected the commentator and liked to call them teacher so-and-so, which made Chen Zhuo very embarrassed and felt that he deserved it.

At this point, Chen Zhuo simply stopped pretending to be invisible, and took a few tissues and came over: "Wipe it for you, it's so wet."

Beibei stretched out his arm obediently: "Mr. Chen, will you explain today?"

Chen Zhuo took his hand secretly: "I'm not talking about it today, why did you come here specially under such heavy snow? We thought we couldn't do it today."

"Because I have a... friend who seems to like this movie very much, so I've always wanted to watch it." Beibei lowered his head silently, and Chen Zhuo's face suddenly turned red when he saw him.

Beibei's skin is very white, and it's translucent, and the soft flesh on his cheeks is like glutinous rice cakes. First, there is a little powder, then a little red, and then half of his face is red. The cartilage in the ears was gleaming, as pink and tough as rabbit ears.

Chen Zhuo thought that Beibei was too sultry, a sentence could pierce his heart, enough to make him happy for several days. - Today's movie is "2046".

This was the first time that Chen Zhuo sat next to Beibei to watch a movie. Beibei watched it very seriously, and he kept biting his hand and never put it down. After the movie, Chen Zhuo was called by the master to help, and Beibei was gone after a while. Just as he was about to chase him out, his phone suddenly rang. It was Be Your Eyes' call for help, initiated by Beibei.

Chen Zhuo picked it up, the shaky picture in the camera seemed to be outside the cinema door, and then he heard Beibei's voice: "I'm sorry to bother you now, that... I just dropped the umbrella, you can take a look at it for me. Where is it? I've been looking for it for a long time and haven't found it."

Chen Zhuo went out with his phone and saw Beibei half-squatting on the steps at the door, snowflakes fluttering and falling on his head and shoulders. Chen Zhuo didn't speak, walked over silently and picked up the umbrella that rolled to the bottom of the stairs.

Beibei was a little anxious, holding the phone and asking twice: "Hello? Are you still there? Can you hear me?"

Chen Zhuo walked to Beibei and squatted down, carefully grabbed one of his hands, opened his palm, and put the umbrella in his palm: "Here it is."

Ji Xiaobei was dumbfounded. It was obviously the person in front of him who was talking. Why did his phone seem to be ringing

He called out in a daze: "Mr. Chen?" Chen Zhuo hummed, Ji Xiaobei was even more stunned, why did the phone also hum along

Chen Zhuo stretched out his hand to wrap Beibei's hand holding the guide stick: "Beibei..."

Ji Xiaobei blinked, but his mind didn't turn around for a long time.

Chen Zhuo wrote four numbers 2046 on the back of his hand: "Babe, it's me."

Ji Xiaobei was in a trance, he swayed and took a step back, and sat on the steps with a thud, his butt hurt for several days.

cz2046, cz, c, Chen.

This was the first time that Chen Zhuo sent Beibei home in an open and honest way. Chen Zhuo walked beside him to hold an umbrella for him, the umbrella was all over his head, and after a while, his body was soaked with a layer of snow.

Chen Zhuo was very anxious, because Beibei didn't speak to him along the way. When he reached the gate of the community, Beibei suddenly stopped, looked around, and asked in a low voice, "Chen... That, are you still there?"

Chen Zhuo hurriedly leaned over: "I'm here, what's wrong?"

Beibei frowned slightly: "That's right, is there anything else I don't know about?"

Chen Zhuo decided to tell the truth. After all, he was frank and lenient: "I am the developer of Be Your Eyes, does this count?"

Beibei paused when he heard this, pursed his lips, and said with difficulty: "So, I am the test subject, right?"

In the evening, Ji Xiaobei did not accept cz2046's connection invitation. He exited the Be Your Eyes interface, uninstalled the software, and hid in the bed and cried secretly.

05

The days are still the same. After all, when there was no cz2046, Ji Xiaobei himself had stumbled and stumbled for more than five years. He told himself that it would be over soon, but the first days were really hard.

In the past, I always waited for the connection and the call, because I had thoughts and expectations in my heart, and the time seemed to pass faster. Now I wake up every day and there is no expectation at all, and the pool of water has turned into stagnant water again, not moving or flowing.

Be Your Eyes, together is BYE.

Ji Xiaobei sat on the sofa every day, lying on the bed, listening to the slow and tired turning of the second hand of the clock, click, click, click. Sometimes he would be in a daze for a day, and sometimes he would think about cz2046.

I think he was just testing the software, but he has been stalking him for so long; I think he treats himself as an ordinary user, and he takes all his goodness and his tenderness seriously; I think he will recognize him at the movie theater tomorrow. Now, why don't you talk about it, do you think that he can't see and doesn't know anyway, and it's very interesting and fun to play with him like this

He started shutting himself up at home again, the only time he went out
