The weather is getting colder, and the last few dead leaves on the trees have finally fallen.
Wang Xu tossed about in the dormitory for half an hour, tidied up decently, and went out humming a little tune.
He is in a pretty good mood, and everything he does has been relatively smooth recently.
The preliminaries of the newcomer evaluation passed smoothly, Master Mao didn't bother him these days, and today's date with Monk Lingxue.
Although it is only the beginning of winter, Wang Xu's heart seems to have flown to spring.
This day is the 100th day that he and Shang Lingxue have known each other. It is a very commemorative day. Of course, only Wang Xu will count this date.
Wang Xu went downstairs to the girls' dormitory, and Shang Lingxue just came out. Today she was wearing a white jacket and jeans, with long hair draped over her shoulders. In this season, her skin looked as fragile as snow. .
Wang Xu went up to say hello with a smile, then stepped forward to hold Shang Lingxue's hand, and the two walked around the campus like this...
Shang Lingxue can't remember when she held hands with Wang Xu for the first time. When she realized something, holding hands together seemed to have become a habit, a habit that she looked forward to.
In fact, their relationship is very delicate. Up to now, Wang Xu has never said a word of liking, and Shang Lingxue doesn't seem to plan to go any further. They are still good friends, just good friends who can hold hands.
The two walked side by side on the small road on campus like this. A beautiful woman like Shang Lingxue is always eye-catching everywhere. The suitor grieved with hatred.
Wang Xu also couldn't understand why he was willing to maintain the current relationship. Is it because Shang Lingxue made it clear at the beginning that he didn't want to have a boyfriend, or because he didn't have enough courage to pierce the window paper? Not bad.
Maybe the two are still friends when they graduate, and then go their separate ways. If they meet on the street ten years later, they will just "meet each other rather than smile."
Wang Xu was so painful and happy, dating monk Lingxue, watching movies, watching sunsets, going to thousands of places, leaving thousands of memories.
Every time he sent her downstairs, then let go of her hand, waved goodbye, and watched her smile and back until the last moment.
Today also passed like this, Wang Xu didn't go back to the dormitory, but went to Master Cat's office, although he didn't want to admit it, but whenever he had a problem and couldn't figure it out, Master Cat would definitely give him the best Answer.
Wang Xu didn't knock on the door, but directly used the key to enter the office. The office was still the same, full of smoke, sundries, and a sense of home.
Master Cat was looking at the Dunjia Tianshu in his mobile phone. He glanced up at Wang Xu and said, "I can't answer your question."
Wang Xu felt baffled: "Hey, I haven't asked you anything yet."
"Don't you just want to ask, why can't you go further with your little girlfriend? Emotional matters have to be resolved by yourself. I'm not an omniscient god. I can't help you with this matter. At most, I can tell you, first love It basically fails."
"Damn, I didn't ask anything, you know my question, you are not a god? I said how did you do it?"
"Ah... Men and women who encounter problems in their relationship, their troubles are like a little bit of saliva left at the end of a big bottle of drink..."
Wang Xu interrupted Master Cat before he could finish speaking: "Okay, I don't want to ask you..."
The two were silent for a while, and Master Mao lit a cigarette: "By the way, I may have to leave S City for a while at the end of the month. If you have anything to do then, you can find Uncle Wu."
Wang Xu thought for a few seconds and said, "Is it related to the message from your brother-in-law a few days ago?"
Master Cat took a puff of smoke: "You are quite perceptive, indeed, I am going to see King Chu Jiang."
"What? Is she finally ready to get back together with you?"
Master Cat sighed, his eyes looked a little lonely: "On the contrary, this time she came to me for a formal duel."
This surprised Wang Xu a lot: "What? I mean, what's going on with you two?"
"A lot of things happened five years ago... She still can't let it go. In short, if she wins this time, I have to give up the title of Master Cat. If I win, she will recommend me to join the Ten Temples of Hades, Serve as the new Song Emperor."
Wang Xu asked again: "Then what are your plans?"
Master Mao took a deep puff of cigarette, and instead of answering the question, he asked, "What would you do if it was you?"
Unexpectedly, Wang Xu laughed loudly: "Do you need to say that? Of course I gave up. You think I don't know that she beat you seriously last time because you deliberately released water? Uncle Pingping Wang told me a long time ago, You are so serious when you are serious."
Master Mao frowned deeply and fell into deep thought. Every time he saw Shui Yingyao, he couldn't say a few words properly. The last time he met her alone, he had a lot to say, but Shui Yingyao, who hadn't seen her for five years, directly They confronted him with swords, and when he was seriously injured, the other party decided to leave, and he was powerless to catch up.
Wang Xu went on to say: "After the new year, you will be thirty. Even if someone is a few years younger than you, there is not much youth left to wait for you. You should suffer a bit as a man. What does she want to do?" Just rely on her, anyway, if you become a family in the future, you can talk about everything."
Master Cat smiled wryly: "So I said that young people nowadays just don't understand anything. It would be nice if things were that simple. Forget it, it's useless to ask you. It's too troublesome to be the king of hell, and you can't do it on purpose." Losing to her, hey! I'd better think for myself..." He stretched and collapsed on the tattered office chair as he spoke.
This night, two men who were also emotionally failed drank at the Black Cat Bar all night. They talked a lot like old friends until they were too drunk to wake up...
On the same night, Jiang Ru, who arrived second in the first round of the preliminaries, had a dream. It was not the first time he had dreamed of that black figure, a strange black figure wearing a high-necked black windbreaker and a hat. , the last time he dreamed of this black shadow, the other party told him the four words "water of Fangcheng".
This dream was so clear that it was still vivid in his mind after waking up, so Jiang Ru went to find out what the water in Fangcheng meant. Literally, it might refer to the water in Xiangyang, which seemed meaningless. He felt that It may be that I am overthinking.
Until the next day's preliminaries, after he passed the test, the ghost hunter told him the clue of the casino location, and Jiang Ru was immediately stunned on the spot.
So when Jiang Ru dreamed of this black shadow again, he stepped forward and asked, "Who are you? Why do you know that?"
Everything in the dream was unreasonable, the black shadow didn't answer him, just laughed, and then the scenery around Jiang Ru turned into an underground parking lot. Jiang Ru suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart, as if his heart was tightly clenched by someone. This kind of fear has no reason. In a nightmare, everything is so scary, even the eyes of passers-by, or a dark man. Every corner can make you sweat all over your body.
Suddenly, a man appeared, his face was blurred, and he was holding a black short sword in his hand. Jiang Ru wanted to see his appearance clearly, but he could only see the blurred outline of the face and the smudges. Bloody lips, that mouth still laughing.
At this time, Jiang Ru had a strong feeling that this man was going to kill him, but he was too scared to resist, so he chose to run away, but it seemed that the underground parking lot would never be able to escape, and Jiang Ru's hands and feet were not at all He couldn't use his strength, and he couldn't get rid of the man behind him with all his strength. Time passed slowly in fear. He seemed to have been running away for several hours, and finally ran to the end of the parking lot, but it was a traffic jam. wall.
Jiang Ru turned his head, the man's face was almost pressed against his face, he could clearly see the man licked his bloody lips, and then raised his pitch-black dagger, the blade of which was As dim as a black hole, it seems to be able to absorb all light.
Jiang Ru watched the sword swing towards him, he screamed, woke up, and found himself lying in the hotel room, the sheets were soaked with sweat.
He gasped heavily, and after his breathing calmed down, he went to wash his face. It's a bit embarrassing for a ghost hunter to be frightened like this by a nightmare. He couldn't fall asleep for a while, so he went to the window to overlook the night scene.
Suddenly, in the reflection of the glass, he saw the man again, standing behind him, that blood-red smile made his hair stand on end, he was shocked, and then found himself waking up from a dream again, it turned out that he didn't know I fell asleep in bed again.
He sat there clutching his painful temples, and said to himself: "Could it be... there is such a person who wants to kill me..."
