You can still hear small cheers in your ears. Yunli is most afraid of this kind of battle. He raised his eyes hastily, caught his gaze, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch the corresponding position.

She suddenly understood, but was not sure.

But from the look in his eyes, Yunli could tell that he had no other thoughts.

Yunli turned to one side and tentatively moved the other side towards him.

The man came closer at the same time and stopped when he was about three centimeters away from her ear. The breath is coming and going, and the volume is very low: "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, walking in the deep Prajnaparamita for a long time, sees that the five aggregates are empty, and survives all hardships."

“…”

Perhaps because he wanted her to hear him clearly, he spoke slowly and slowly.

However, this good intention was betrayed.

Yunli didn't understand a word.

To put it more seriously.

Yunli felt that the current situation was no different from being unable to hear.

What's this! Stuff! Son! ! !

Is it a Buddhist scripture

Yunli was stunned.

Bu Zhi, who was waiting to deliver the message, couldn't help laughing: "What's your expression?"

She didn't answer and didn't dare to delay any longer. Before her memory became blurry, Yunli half guessed and half recited, and pieced together a sentence that barely made sense.

Facing the confused and confused expression on her face, she felt a little more mentally balanced.

That shouldn't be a hindrance.

After the tension passed, Yunli was able to watch others play games. Only then did I realize that some people also listen with their right ear. Because you can listen to others talking in this direction and don’t have to face everyone.

Yunli cares too much, so she feels that listening with her right ear seems very deliberate. But for people who don't care about this, they don't pay attention to which ears other people listen with.

Just like she doesn't pay attention to which foot others take when walking.

Thinking of this, Yunli glanced at the man quietly.

So when he was playing the virtual jumping machine project today, had he already discovered that she could no longer hear in her left ear

But at the time, she was given some mercy and did not expose it directly.

The man didn't notice her gaze, he was hanging his head, uninterested, playing games with one hand to pass the time.

It's a stand-alone game called 2048.

The current maximum number has been synthesized to 1024.

By this time, the words had come to an end.

The last person is He Jiameng. In full view of everyone, she confidently reported the answer: "Guanyin Bodhisattva wants to eat jackfruit."

“…”

The box was quiet for a moment, then burst into laughter.

He Jiameng scratched his head: "What's wrong? Isn't it?"

"Of course not. What's the matter with you, Xiao He? You delivered such a sacred sentence like this." Fei Shui was amused, "But I'm quite surprised. Why did it come out so fast? It made me think that the other party had a short sentence. , I was stunned when I heard it.”

Xu Qingsong laughed softly, feeling ashamed and calm: "I'm sorry, I really can't remember it. The first paragraph of the "Heart Sutra" was directly passed down. Memorize it if you can."

The people behind him also suppressed their laughter for a long time: "Plus one."

Solitaire ends with men.

The goal was determined and the topic did not last long. Everyone just thinks that he has a wide range of knowledge, and since the Heart Sutra is not long, it is not surprising that he has memorized the first paragraph. Not long after, the other table also finished sending messages, narrowly winning by one word.

After everyone joked a few words, they began to pack their things and prepare to leave.

Yunli hesitated again and again, and mustered up the courage to talk to the man: "That..."

The man paused and raised his eyes.

His eyelashes are long and thin, and his eye sockets are deep. The double eyelids are thin and the ends of the eyes are naturally raised, outlining a cold and sharp outline. When there is no emotion, it has an elusive power of shock.

"You just told me to come closer..." Yunli regretted a little, but had to continue, "I know..."

—Do you know that I can’t hear in my left ear

To say it next was to give him the answer. She stopped in time and looked at him.

The man didn't answer.

Yunli said: "Why don't you speak?"

The man looked at her and said calmly: "You haven't finished speaking."

“…”

Yunli changed the question: "Just, just, why did you let me get closer just now?"

Their eyes met.

There was a commotion of people around, noisy and yet still. Just when Yunli thought he was going to break it in the next second, the man put the phone back in his pocket and said casually: "Rule, don't let a third person hear."

-

There happens to be a KTV nearby.

Xu Qingsong seemed to be a VIP here, and there was no need to make a reservation in advance. When he entered, he was taken to a party room by the waiter. The space is very large, with three steps dividing it into two staggered levels, upper and lower, which is more than enough to accommodate ten people.

Drinks, snacks and fruit plates were served one after another.

A few people who were able to let go already took the microphone and started roaring, and the karaoke booth was occupied by people one after another. The rest were divided into piles and either played cards or dice.

Others, like Yunli, sat chatting and listening to songs.

There were seven or eight people sitting at this table, several of whom could not be named. In the middle is Xu Qingsong, clinking glasses with others with a smile. The man who had just come with him had disappeared.

She lowered her eyes to look at her phone and scanned the surrounding area intentionally or unintentionally.

Just at this moment, a woman half-joked: "Mr. Xu, where is that handsome guy you just brought? Why don't you come over to pay the bill even if you lose?"

Yunli's attention was diverted.

Xu Qingsong was helpless: "If the person is not feeling well, let him go."

The woman's name is Du Gefei. He Mengjia said she is a female anchor on a certain platform. Today she has browsed the WeChat accounts of almost all the men present. She held her chin and continued to inquire: "Is your girlfriend checking the post?"

Xu Qingsong was noncommittal.

Dugfi: “I didn’t have time to ask for WeChat.”

As if he didn't understand the implication, Xu Qingsong sighed: "That's a pity."

“…”

Dugfield was obviously stunned.

Someone at the table chuckled.

Yunli pressed the corners of her lips, wanting to laugh a little. But after that, my mood dropped again.

I don’t know where this emotion comes from, like a mimosa tree that has been exposed to the sun, its head is droopy and its energy is lost.

It's like trying to throw a coin into the wishing well but failing.

After a while, He Jiameng came next to her and asked in a low voice: "Teacher Xianyun, do you want to go to the toilet? I don't really want to use the toilet in the private room."

Yunli came back to her senses: "A little bit, I'll go with you."

After coming out of the private room, the lights in the corridor were dim, as if the lights were covered with a layer of cloth. There is a public restroom within a few steps. After entering, the cloth is lifted.

After solving the problem, Yunli came out to wash her hands.

He Jiameng was already outside and suddenly asked: "Why are your ears so red?"

Hearing this, Yunli looked in the mirror.

He Mengjia looked at it and said, "And only the right side is red."

"..." Yunli also realized, "I don't know."

"Is it true," He Jiameng chuckled, "that handsome guy just passed the message too close to you?"

Yunli hurriedly denied: "No."

He Jiameng didn't believe it at all and continued: "That handsome guy is like an iceberg. You can see that others can't even talk to him. I didn't expect that he would take the initiative to flirt with girls."

Yunli couldn't resist, so she had to change the subject: "Don't you know him?"

"I don't know him. Maybe I've been at the headquarters before and haven't come here much." He Jiameng said, "I just heard from my colleagues that I saw him in the store this morning."

"Um?"

"It seems that he is a friend of the boss. He came to help a few days ago. He will also work at EAW in the future." He Jiameng said happily, "I am blessed. I just saw him taking off his mask, and he was still sitting next to me. When I was my boss, I thought I was in heaven."

“…”

"But to be honest, I'm a little worried."

"What?"

"Don't you think this handsome guy is quite difficult to get along with? This kind of 'connected person' basically doesn't know how to work well." He Jiameng added, "And he is quite gloomy, which is a bit scary."

Yunli unconsciously spoke for him: "Didn't Mr. Xu say that he was feeling unwell? Maybe he didn't want to talk."

He Jiameng: "Yes, I forgot."

Most people's flights were booked for tomorrow, so this second one didn't last long.

Back at the hotel, it was just past twelve o'clock when Yunli came out from the shower. She lay down tiredly, hugging the quilt contentedly, and just wanted to sleep like this until it was dark.

Sure enough, I still find socializing very tiring.

I don’t know why she followed him to the KTV.

For a long time, Yunli opened her eyes and stared at the white ceiling. Suddenly she raised her hand and touched her right ear.

Not hot anymore.

-

When she woke up the next day, Yunli told He Jiameng that she would not be returning to Xifu for a short time, so she didn't need to book a flight.

He Jiameng expressed his understanding and extended her room for a week.

Yunli had nothing to do today, so she got up slowly and ordered a takeaway. After thinking about it, I sent a message to Deng Chuqi and asked her when she would have time to have a meal together.

The next second, Deng Chuqi called: "I'm eating, so I'm too lazy to type, so I called you directly. When will you return to Xifu?"

"I probably won't reply."

"Ah? Why?" Deng Chuqi was confused, "Didn't you just report for work at the end of the month?"

The word "running away from home" is really embarrassing. Yunli was embarrassed to say it: "There is nothing to do when we go back anyway, so why not come here first to familiarize yourself with the environment."

"Oh, do you want to come live with me?" Deng Chuqi said, "My roommate is very nice, but my room is a bit small."

Yunli: "No, my hotel room is only due in a week. And I plan to rent a house first. I checked the rental website in the past two days, and there is a house that I think is pretty good. You can accompany me to look at it then. look?"

Deng Chuqi: "Okay! Can we do it on the weekend? I'll be fine on the weekend."

Yunli curled her lips: "Okay."

Deng Chuqi asked again: "But don't you want to stay?"

Yunli: "I live there, but I occasionally need to take videos, so I have to find a place. Otherwise, it will affect my roommates."

The two chatted for a while, and after hanging up the phone, Yunli ate takeout and watched an old drama.

One look lasted all afternoon. Just as the sun set, Yunli received news from He Jiameng. It said that the video corresponding to the project she tried yesterday was sent to her email.

Yunli replied "Okay".

If you want to rent a house, you should be quite busy next time.

Yunli wanted to cut out the film first. She pulled out the SD card from the camera and connected it to the computer. I briefly looked through the clips I had taken before and stopped when I saw the VR bungee jump.

After the project ended, Yunli left the camera on the tripod there, and only remembered about it halfway through. This video also included a scene after she left -

Dugfi came over and talked to him: "I also want to try this game. How do I play it?"

This time the man didn't even bother to do business. He stared at the VR in his hand and said calmly: "Look for the staff."

Immediately after Yunli came back to get the camera, Du Gefei left without saying anything.

“…”

This indeed corresponds to what He Jiameng said: relationship households basically do not work well.

For some reason, Yunli pulled him forward and looked again at the part where the man tied the safety rope to him. Although she knew that the man was probably impatient, she still felt like she was being treated differently.

Then, pretending to be calm and nonchalant, she opened her mailbox and downloaded the compressed package sent by He Jiameng.

After waiting for a while, unzip and open.

Each of these clips is also labeled with the project name so that she can post it to the corresponding video. Seeing a thumbnail of one of the videos, Yunli paused.

I don’t know if He Jiameng’s hands were shaking when he put it in. This is not a fragment of the project she played.

It was the face of the man she had just stared at for a long time.

No one wearing a mask.

Yunli licked her lower lip and clicked it open.

He seemed to have accidentally pressed the record button without looking at the camera. Holding the remote control in his hand, it looked like he was debugging it, but also like he was playing with it carelessly.

The picture rises and falls.

It suddenly reached a height of several meters, close to the ceiling, and you could clearly see the surrounding game items; then it dropped to the bottom, and you could only see the texture of the floor.

Yunli suddenly reacted.

This seems to be the drone seen in the club today.

At the end of the video, it seems that someone next to him called him, and the man suddenly stopped moving. After a few seconds, the perspective dropped from mid-air to the ground. The clip ends here.

Because of this move, the man's appearance became more familiar, and the impression in his mind became clearer.

Recalling a flash point, Yunli suddenly understood. She opened the E station and flipped to a video she had collected a long time ago.

This was first posted in an exchange post on Station E, and was later moved to the video area.

It was the previous National College Student Robot Competition.

The video was edited to extract the footage of one of them.

The young man is handsome, tall and thin, wearing a black team uniform with a moon badge on his sleeve. The school badge of Xifu University of Science and Technology is printed on the back, as well as the team name: Unique.

He held the remote control in his hand and concentrated on controlling the robot in front of him.

When victory was announced, several people nearby jumped up and cheered.

The young man was born extremely well, but he remained stern and stood aside calmly. His temperament was warm and clear, not as gloomy as now. Then, one of them hugged him hard. He frowned and struggled a few times, and finally laughed uncontrollably.

It’s the age when you are young and passionate and don’t need to hide your emotions.

It overlaps with the man in the video just now.

It's the same person.

It's not like they are the same person.

This video initially became a small hit on the Internet. Later, it was discovered that the boy had skipped a grade to attend college and was only fifteen years old when he participated in the competition.

A life of cheating.

There were various comments under the video at that time. One of the most popular ones is a joke based on the moon badge worn by the boy - it turns out that there is a moon in the world.

When she saw this video, Yunli was fifteen years old and had just entered her first year of high school.

At that time, her grades were average, but she unexpectedly managed to get into the best high school in Xifu. Introverted and taciturn, hard working but limited in ability, overwhelmed by the excellence of his classmates.

I also long to have talents and be extraordinary.

The young man came into the mirror at this time.

He became the being that she admired and admired for a short time when she was young, and she desperately wanted to be like him.

After many years, the popularity of the Internet has been short-lived, but traces still remain.

By typing this information into the search box, Yunli could also find interviews that the boy had received after his college entrance examination results were released. Next to it is a photo taken casually.

The young man looked at the camera with green eyes. Possessing a high-spirited spirit that cannot be defeated by the world.
