Find My Bearings

Chapter 5: Festival

Views:

It was New Year's Eve, my aunt picked him up for the New Year's Eve dinner, and after eating he asked my uncle to send him home.

Ji Xiaobei turned on the TV rarely, and listened to the Spring Festival Gala for a while. After the countdown to 321 at 0:00, the deafening sound of firecrackers sounded outside the window. He reached out and touched the bed for a while, finally found the remote control, then turned off the TV, rolled up the quilt and fell asleep.

The first day of the new year has no meaning to him, it's just an ordinary day that can't be any more ordinary.

It's just that Ji Xiaobei didn't know that there was a man standing silently downstairs in his house for a long time. He held the phone, opened the software with the eye icon, and tried to connect to Beibei again and again. The only answer to him was a cold prompt: "Friend is offline, please wait."

Chen Zhuo looked up at the lights that were on and off, wondering which one belonged to Beibei. He stood in the cold wind of the winter night, and his hands were frozen in a while, and after a while, he couldn't hold the phone.

He just wanted to say to Beibei: "Happy New Year, Beibei."

The two people reconnected more than two months later, when the spring flowers bloomed. My sister brought her boyfriend home and had a family dinner at noon. Ji Xiaobei wanted to dress more formally. Auntie and the others were already busy enough. He didn't want to trouble her with such trivial matters as choosing clothes. After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to put Be Your Eyes back.

"Open BE Your Eyes." Ji Xiaobei's voice trembled involuntarily. He heard the APP's start-up sound, followed by a male voice: "I once fell in love with a person, and then she left. I went to 2046 because I thought she was there waiting for me, but I couldn't find her. I wonder if she likes me or not, but I never get the answer. Her answer is like a secret that no one will ever know."

Ji Xiaobei froze. He knew that this sentence was a line in "2046".

He shook his head to himself, daring not to think too much, and turned on the help square function. The video was quickly connected. The other party was a young girl. Ji Xiaobei was a little nervous. Speaking of which, he had hardly been connected to anyone other than cz2046.

The girl chatted with him for more than ten minutes, and carefully helped him choose a set suitable for the family banquet. Ji Xiaobei said thank you very seriously. Before hanging up, the girl suddenly said: "Just forgive him." Ji Xiaobei was a little confused, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Later, Ji Xiaobei discovered that every time he opened the app, there would be a voice of a movie line, and those movies were all watched by him in a blind cinema.

"I don't know what to say, I just miss her so much at that moment. I've always wondered if 27-year-olds will still fall in love at first sight."

"The love line, life line and career line in my hands are all made up of your name."

"If I have an extra ticket, will you go with me?"

"Don't be so kind to me, you are so kind to me, if one day you treat me badly, I will be very sad."

"In this short life, we will all lose in the end. You might as well be bold, love someone, climb a mountain, and chase a dream."

And at the end of each square connection, the other party always added a sentence: "Please forgive him!" / "You miss you very much." / "He wants to say sorry to you."

Ji Xiaobei finally made sure that he heard it right, and once he finally summoned up the courage to ask what was going on

The volunteer on the other end of the phone is a retired language teacher. He just dragged Ji Xiaobei around for more than half an hour, saying that his daughter helped him download the software. Play off the heat.

The old teacher seemed a little surprised to hear him ask: "It's been so long, you still don't know? As soon as the software is opened, something pops up, and it says something like: If you connect to a boy named Beibei, Please help me say sorry to him."

Ji Xiaobei suspected that he was dreaming, and twisted his arm, it was painful: "Auntie, are you kidding me..."

Auntie immediately panicked: "Of course it's true! There are a large group of 500 volunteers in our district, and now there is no one who doesn't know you! If you don't believe me, just find someone else and ask!"

Ji Xiaobei didn't know that there was someone like him, and after a few days of courage, he finally got through to his connection. The phone is chattering and repeating: "Friend cz2046 requests to connect, friend cz2046 requests to connect..."

Ji Xiaobei was lying on the bed, covering his face tightly with the pillow, his heartbeat was fast and dense, and it was difficult to even breathe. Finally, he spit out two words in a loud voice: "Agree..."

Chen Zhuo was already preparing for a long-term battle, but he didn't expect that Beibei would be able to pick it up for the first time. Hearing a soft "hello" over there, he forgot all the drafts he had prepared for several months, and held it back for a long time. One: "Are you still angry?"

Chen Zhuo didn't realize what happened at first, but Beibei suddenly ignored him, the app never went online again, and he didn't go to the cinema. Later, he wanted to understand the misunderstanding, but he didn't know what he could do.

Of course, Chen Zhuo has Beibei's address and can go to him at any time, but Chen Zhuo didn't want to scare him, so he chose to guard him at Be Your Eyes.

"Babe, when I first met you, I really just wanted to test the software."

"I have many, many test subjects, only you are different."

"I don't connect with other test subjects on time and on time every day."

"We won't be developing new features of Friends Connect based on their inspiration."

"I won't go to the cinema near them to do volunteer work in order to be closer to them."

"I don't think that I can't do it without contact for a day. It's like an empty space in my heart."

Chen Zhuo didn't know what he said in a mess. Those words seemed to come out of his mouth. Finally, he said: "Babe, if you don't get angry, can we meet again? Yes, this Saturday. , I'll be waiting for you at the cinema."

In fact, Chen Zhuo did not wait for him at the cinema, but waited for him downstairs from twelve o'clock until two o'clock. Beibei might never want to see him again, just thinking about it, the security door downstairs snapped open.

Chen Zhuo stared at it blankly, and after a while, a small guide stick stuck out of the door, and then Beibei walked out cautiously, still wearing those cute bear socks. He walked in a hurry along the way, and Chen Zhuo almost went up to help him several times, but he finally held back.

Ji Xiaobei stood at the entrance of the cinema, clutching his mobile phone but not daring to call cz2046, he suddenly felt some retreat.

The moment he turned around, someone held his hand tightly: "If you come, you are not allowed to leave."

It was Teacher Chen's voice, and also cz2046's voice, Ji Xiaobei's heart started to feel numb like an electric shock again: "You...you follow me?"

Chen Zhuo wrapped his hand holding the guide stick: "I have been following you, and I will follow you in the future, with you for the rest of my life."

The world is dark, but you are pink

At the beginning of the year, a TV station came to the cinema to do a special report, so the cinema received long-term donations and a large number of new volunteers.

Many people are very good at doing things. In addition to watching movies, they also started reading clubs, took music lessons, and organized a spring outing to Forest Park.

There are a lot of student volunteers during the summer vacation, so we have prepared a three-day excursion to the next city.

On the first day, Chen Zhuo lived like a year, but he had to endure it, otherwise he would look so naive.

By the next day, he could not hold back any longer, and harassed Ji Xiaobei three times in the morning.

Ji Xiaobei asked seriously, "Chen Zhuo, aren't you going to work today?"

Chen Zhuo replied confidently: "I miss you, I don't want to go to work."

Ji Xiaobei would be embarrassed every time he hit the ball: "Ah... I'll be back tomorrow."

As a result, Chen Zhuo scratched his head and waited until the third day. Ji Xiaobei said that it would be delayed by a day. Chen Zhuo fainted: "Really or not? Can this be delayed?"

Ji Xiaobei asked him to go back from get off work to rest early, and Chen Zhuo sighed slightly: "I work overtime at night. I originally planned to miss work to pick you up. If you don't come back, I'll go home after working in the company."

Ji Xiaobei was a little uneasy: "Are you angry?"

Chen Zhuo deliberately murdered him: "I'm angry, you can just wait tomorrow."

Ji Xiaobei said in a low voice.

Chen Zhuo didn't get off work until after nine o'clock. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a very familiar figure on the edge of the flower bed, wearing the Uniqlo Marvel series T-shirt they lined up together to grab.

Chen Zhuo found himself being tricked: "Didn't you come back tomorrow, what are you doing here?"

Ji Xiaobei walked in front of him and touched his head on tiptoe: "School is over, I'm here to pick up little friend Chen Zhuo home!"

Every time after watching a movie, Chen Zhuo likes to say: "School is over, I'm here to pick up baby Beibei home." He finally got a chance to practice it once.

In fact, at the beginning, Ji Xiaobei called Chen Zhuo Teacher Chen. After a week, Chen Zhuo decided to have a good talk with him: "Look, we are both in love, so don't call me teacher, right? It's a bit strange."

Ji Xiaobei thought for a while: "What's it going to be called?"

Chen Zhuo persevered and persuaded: "Just... For example, what does your aunt call your aunt?"

Ji Xiaobei was stuck for a long time, blushing and choking out two words: "...dead ghost."

Chen Zhuo almost fainted, it was her husband! husband!
