Lu Yizhan had just handed over the item of the exam paper to Cen Unming for storage, and was about to try to find the disarming item of this item from the game. He was going to enter the game in these two days. After coming back, he heard that Bai Liu had done this. It is not an exaggeration. , His mind buzzed.
"Bai Liu ran away?" Lu Yizhan sat on the sofa of Fang Dian's house in a daze, and Fang Dian sat opposite him, "... how come he ran away."
"I went to the orphanage to ask, and he didn't go back." Fang Dian lowered her head, her hand slammed against the coffee table, her voice was a little dumb, "...I have looked for it, and there is nowhere around the school."
"Bai Liu didn't go back to the orphanage, or school, or here." Lu Yizhan's expression was almost empty. He looked at Fang Dian and asked lightly, as if he was asking Fang Dian, but at the same time. Himself, "there are so many places he can go."
"Where else can he go?"
Yes, Lu Yizhan realized later that because of his intervention, there are only three places in this world that can accommodate Bailiu, but now there are two places—the school and the orphanage. The only place that can accommodate him is here.
But here are two people who pushed him to this point.
Then... Where else can Bai Liu go
He needs money to eat, live, and rest. All these need money. Where does he get the money
Lu Yizhan slowly lowered his head, buried his face in his palm, and exhaled deeply.
Summer rains are plentiful, usually with the thunder, and the rumbling can't ring twice, and it soon rains heavily.
It's a working day, the college entrance examination is approaching, and there are fewer students and children coming out to play. The owner of the video game city in the commercial street saw heavy rain, pedestrians evaded, and the passenger flow was reduced. Do not close sooner.
He had just turned off the large display screen in the outer street, and when he raised his hand to pull the rolling door down, a hand soaked in the rain held the falling rolling door.
The boss was taken aback, he drew up the rolling door.
Under heavy rain, thick fog can be cast on the street, and the bustling street becomes a fuzzy back in the rain and fog, and Bai Liu, wearing a soaked school uniform, stands quietly in front of such a background, with a strange sense of withdrawal. It's as if he doesn't belong to this world.
Bai Liu raised his eyes, his pitch-black eyes looked at the boss calmly: "Are you still open today?"
"... It's open." The boss wanted to say that it was closed, but looking at Bai Liu's soaked school uniform, he changed his tone and said, "You go in to hide from the rain."
Bai Liu walked in, and turned his head to look at the boss: "In the previous shooting game, can the first prize be exchanged for money?"
"It's okay, it can be exchanged for five hundred." The boss looked at Bai Liu's school uniform and couldn't help but persuade him, "I remember you are in the third year of high school? Come and play when you graduate. There is no need to skip class and play. important."
Bai Liu was quiet, his tone was light: "I can't read it anymore, I was dropped out of school."
The boss was shocked: "How come you were dropped out of school?! You are in the third year of high school! Are your parents not making trouble when you are dropped out of school at this moment?"
"I have no parents." Bai Liu said flatly, "Can you turn on the machine?"
The boss was stunned. He wanted to ask anything more, but he couldn't speak anymore. He just sighed with a complex expression and turned on the machine for Bai Liu.
"You can play."
Bai Liu nodded politely: "Thank you boss."
He opened the curtain and went in, and soon the duo-mode gunshots rang out, and the boss sighed with mixed emotions outside.
… He also saw the kid’s slogan titled on the Ferris wheel before, how could it be in just a few days…
Moreover, this child is really full of energy, dropped out of school and rained, and can play the two-player mode.
The boss looked curiously at the names of the two players who had logged on to the machine again, a spade and a white willow, and he couldn't help but shook his head funny-he was only a teenager, and he gave himself a symmetrical game alias.
Bai Liu held a gun and looked intently at the two characters jumping on the game screen. The game character Spades next to him followed him all the way to escort him, and the corners of his mouth twitched lightly.
Outside the curtain, suddenly there was a very soft voice:
"Hello, have you met this student?"
Bai Liu's pupils shrank when he heard this sound. On the screen, the character of Spades stopped moving for an instant. Bai Liu suddenly turned his head to look at Spades next to him—the one who just played the game with him with a gun. The monster is gone.
Outside the curtain, the soft female voice was still asking politely. Her voice was full of sincerity and pleading: "I am Fang Dian, the student’s sister in the photo. He is now running away from home. If you have seen him, you can tell Me? We must thank you very much."
The boss's voice paused awkwardly, and finally he said: "... I haven't seen it."
"Then this is our phone number. If you have seen it, please call us." Fang Dian brushed down his phone number with pen and paper, "Thank you in advance."
"He likes playing horror games, maybe he will come to you."
Bai Liu silently leaned on the game machine. He tilted his head back, his forehead covered his eyes and couldn't see his expression. He could only hear his very shallow breathing and the water dripping from the tails of his hair and clothes. Voice.
Both characters in the horror game crashed, and they were bitten by the zombies coming towards them.
When Fangdian left, Bai Liu opened the curtain and walked out. The boss immediately complained to him: "What do you say you don't have a parent? Your sister came to you under the heavy rain."
Bai Liu said quietly: "Thank you for not telling me."
The boss sighed again after a meal: "Many parents of students here come to find students. It is a basic professional ethics not to give out students, but your sister doesn't look like that kind of parent. She is quite worried about you."
"She has red eyes and looks like she has cried several times."
Bai Liu paused again: "I didn't get the first prize."
"Let me see..." The boss opened the curtain and walked in. "Second prize, it's not bad, do you want to redeem it? Two hundred yuan."
Bai Liu nodded: "Dui."
The boss gave Bai Liu the money, he paused, and then said in a sigh, "You are a student, it is very difficult outside, you should go back quickly."
Bai Liu took the money and turned around to leave. He stopped when he heard the boss's words, and then said, "I am not alone."
"Someone is with me."
The boss asked: "Who?"
Bai Liu answered calmly: "Spades."
The boss was taken aback, Bai Liu had already walked far in the rain and fog.
The boss turned his head in confusion, he turned his head and looked at the name of the [Spades] on the face of the game console that had fallen on the ground and died on top of the game character. He couldn't help but mutter to himself in confusion: " But the spades..."
"Isn't it an npc player who only exists in the game?"
"It's been four days." Lu Yizhan's dark circles were so thick that he was about to fall on his cheeks, he said angrily, "Where is Bai Liu?"
At this point, Lu Yizhan even began to regret not letting a few people from Cen Buming who had gone to follow Bai Liu.
He now spends one-third of his time worrying about an accident in Bai Liu, and another third of his time worrying about an accident in Bai Liu. The remaining one-third of the time is dealing with college entrance examination papers, games, orphanages and schools. I can't wait for a person to break into sixty-four petals and spin.
People who are unknown to Cen cannot be used, and Bai Liu is really tracked down. If Bai Liu is doing something, Cen Unknown will definitely kill Bai Liu with a single shot.
It is also not possible to report the crime. Now that there is a fraud on Bai Liu's body, it has not been verified. When it is reported, it will be sent directly in. It is also impossible to mobilize heretics and game props to track Bai Liu. Every heresy is related to Bai Liu. If it is really tracked down , Then Bai Liu can definitely affect Bai Liu through heresy.
Bai Liu is the most special child in the world. Lu Yizhan, a "parent" who has countless ways in his hands, can only helplessly adopt the most common and hard-working search method among the parents in the face of this child who has run away from home. —That is, he and Fang Dian are searching for human flesh.
But he and Fang Dian were almost crazy, and still didn't find Bai Liu.
Bai Liu is very smart. If this person really doesn't want to be discovered, even if Lu Yizhan uses all the above methods, it will be difficult to find him.
At Lu Yizhan, the sky was dim and the earth was dark. I don’t know how many afternoons, Fang Dian finally brought back a good news and a bad news:
"I found Bai Liu in the Internet cafe next door." Fang Dian said, "but he doesn't want to come back."
It took only a second for Lu Yizhan to lighten up in front of his eyes until his heart was ashamed. He slumped on the sofa and almost cried out, "Why!"
"Things are resolved!"
They spent great efforts to find the surveillance that was deliberately concealed by the principal. It proved that Bao Kangle forced Bai Liu to gamble, and they found the witness Hou Tong to testify. It can be said that there are all human and material evidence, and they successfully wiped out Bai Liu's suspicion.
Later, when he asked Bao Kangle why he bit Bailiu back, this person couldn't tell why. But when interrogating Xu Wei, he didn't freeze, saying that he blurted his mouth and confessed some of the things the principal had done to the students secretly. Came out.
There was a big incident right now. The whole school went through a harsh and thorough investigation. The principal and Xu Wei, two unworthy dogs, were directly sent in on the spot.
Bao Kangle was also dropped out of school and remembered a big mistake.
On the other side of Cen’s unknown, Lu Yizhan also found a solution to the [Improper College Examination Paper] from the game, and successfully sealed the test paper as a heresy, and Lu Yizhan has eliminated the influence of the previous heresy on the previous girl. He also used props to obscure part of the opponent's memory, and now the opponent thinks that what he sees when he falls is an illusion.
The influence of Bao Kangle was originally intended to be eliminated by Lu Yizhan, but this person's mental state is very bad now, and he does not know whether the effect of elimination is good.
The entire Qiaomu Private High School was cleaned from top to bottom, the college entrance examination lake on the mountain was also filled, and the area for superb students on the mountain was also disbanded. Now the Qiaomu Private High School is a respected senior teacher who takes over Bai Liu and his class. He was a young English teacher. It was said that he was a closed disciple of the old teacher. He was very capable and had a good character. As soon as he took office, he immediately came to Lu Yizhan to inquire about Bai Liu's situation and helped him find Bai Liu for several days.
Everything is getting better.
In addition to them, there are many people who are looking forward to the return of Bai Liu, Hou Tong, the other teammates of the Fangdian Volleyball team, and the newly appointed English teacher.
Now Bai Liu will never be alone in Qiaomu High School as before.
But Bai Liu was unwilling to come back.
"I chatted with Bai Liu." Fang Dian cupped her face, she seemed to be thinking, and she seemed to be in a daze, her eyes a little scattered, "He told me that he wanted to live alone."
"He feels that after dropping out of school like this, there is nothing wrong with living alone."
"He has no expectations for high school or university, nor does he have much expectations for the so-called ordinary people, and life with ordinary people, but if he is left alone in the future, he has such a living habit and has expectations. ."
Fang Dian's eyes were a little surprised: "I think he really said this, but I don't think he really wants someone.
"What do you mean?" Lu Yizhan frowned.
Fang Dian took a deep breath: "I feel like... there is something I can't see."
"Be with him when he is alone."
In the quiet rental house, Bai Liu was lying on the wooden bed alone.
He had been living in an Internet cafe before. After Fang Dian came, he had already left, but he killed another carbine, saying that he could not come back, but he could not stay in the Internet cafe. He rented a small house on the spot and gave him Get it in.
Bai Liu was lying on the wooden bed, his eyes looked at the bunch of keys on the small table opposite—that was the key Fangdian left him when he found it in the Internet cafe.
Next to the bunch of keys, there was a spade on the table who was also looking at him.
The room was very quiet and dark. Bai Liu could clearly see the black eyes of Spades turning into a strange silver blue little by little, and he could clearly see the body of Spades becoming translucent little by little. .
"I'm leaving." He heard the spades say.
"Why?" Bai Liu asked, "I'm still alone, why can you leave?"
Spades blinked very slowly: "But you won't be anymore soon."
Bai Liu's tone was cold: "You don't need to decide how I am."
The spade's voice was very soft: "Because I don't want you to be alone, Bai Liu."
He slowly got up, walked over, poured the white willow lying on the wooden bed into his arms, and said very lightly and lowly:
"There will be many people around you in the future. I know that you are very happy like that, and I hope you who are so happy will come soon."
"So I don't want you to be alone for too long."
The spades firmly hugged Bai Willow: "Go back."
"We made a deal, and I assure you that I will come to you in the future, I will see you at first sight, will always follow you behind, and never disappear again."
Bai Liu grasped the shoulders of Spades tightly, but his eyes gradually dispersed.
He crossed the shoulders of Spades and looked at the bunch of keys placed on the table. After a long, long silence, Bai Liu closed his eyes. He hugged the shoulders of Spades and hummed very softly.
Bai Liu is back.
The return of this man of the wind made everyone’s life in Qiaomu Private High School turbulent for a while, but his own life was uneventful.
It can't be said that there is no waves, he has become a focal point.
After the cancellation of the teaching buildings on the mountain, Lu Yizhan and Fang Dian studied at the foot of the mountain. The two of them ran to Class 17, asking Bai Liu to eat, go to class, play ball, and do homework. They kept trying to meet Bai Liu before leaving school. Hou Tong, who had been getting along for a while, was so angry that Bai Liu would be circled away every time she was in get out of class.
The new teacher in the class pays much attention to Bai Liu. Her attitude towards Bai Liu is very friendly, but not overly protruding, but will mark Bai Liu's test papers with some notes that she finds useful.
The orphanage granted Bailiu a supper subsidy for eight yuan per night, just enough to eat a bowl of beef noodles.
Lu Yizhan and Fang Dian would add money to order him an egg, so in the last 50 days, Bai Liu actually jumped higher with the naked eye.
He never walked alone anymore, in other words, there was no chance of being alone. There were too many people around him, and there were very few people alone.
Sometimes Bai Liu would stay alone in the flower bed downstairs, holding two popsicles in his hand, but he usually doesn’t eat the other one, and he doesn’t know who ate it, but it’s usually very difficult to be alone like this. Less.
Soon, time came to the college entrance examination.
The summer is scorching and the sun is shining. Today is a sunny day.
Fang Dian and Lu Yizhan got up early in the morning to find Bai Liu for breakfast. Lu Yizhan's face was pale with nervousness. Before sending Bai Liu into the examination room, he kept telling him: "You must remember to apply the answer sheet! Check the answer sheet twice!"
After instructing Bai Liu, Lu Yizhan subconsciously stepped out of the school and went to the parent area outside to wait for Bai Liu to finish the college entrance examination.
Fang Dian dumbfoundedly grasped Lu Yizhan, who was so nervous that his brain was blank, and walked out with his hands and feet: "You give me a stop!"
"Today not only Bailiu's college entrance examination, you also want to take the college entrance examination, why are you going to the parent area to wait for it!"
"Oh!" Lu Yizhan suddenly realized, "Forget that I have to take the college entrance examination, just remember that today is Bailiu's college entrance examination day."
Bai Liu: "..."
In the end, Bai Liu sent the Lu Yizhan candidates into the examination room, who was too nervous because of his college entrance examination, and told them earnestly: "Don't forget to paint your answer sheet, Xiao Lu."
"You too!" Lu Yizhan tearfully grabbed Bai Liu's hand, "The college entrance examination must go smoothly!"
Fang Dian also grabbed the hands of these two people, and she smiled brightly: "Of course, our Bailiu college entrance examination must go smoothly!"
Bai Liu watched Fang Dian and Lu Yizhan wave goodbye to him, and entered the examination room. He didn't turn around immediately, but watched the backs of the two people stay in place for a while.
When the two people's backs were gradually moving away, a black figure suddenly appeared beside him.
Spades held Bai Liu's hand, and Bai Liu slowly shook his hands.
In the college entrance examination hall where people came and went, Bai Liu stood abruptly on the spot, holding something empty in his hand, and people kept passing by and greeted him with a smile:
"Come on Bailiu's college entrance examination!"
"Bai Liu, go ahead!"
"Hold on, Bai Liu, you can do it!"
Whenever a person greeted Bai Liu with a smile and blessed him, the spades around Bai Liu disappeared for a moment, but soon after the person who said hello left, the spades would come back again and continue to hold Bai Liu's hand.
So in the crowd, the spades held by Bai Liu looked like the old pictures that were constantly flashing when playing old films on film. His outline became blurred, appearing in the sun from time to time, and from time to time, just like an artificial fantasy. The silhouette of the monster that came out appeared silently next to the protagonist of the fairy tale.
Hold his hand tightly when he is alone, and let it go quietly when he is surrounded.
Bai Liu walked into the last English exam examination room, and the monster looked at Bai Liu who was writing papers with a good eye outside the window. He looked at Bai Liu as if he hadn't taken a glance at all.
When the bell rang for the end of the college entrance examination, Bai Liu subconsciously turned his head and looked at the monster outside the window.
He is gone.
Bai Liu's brain reacted sluggishly for a while, and he suddenly remembered that he had said to Spades before that they would definitely come to him for the last exam and ask him to wait under the ping-pong table instead of waiting outside the classroom.
It should be where I went to the ping-pong station, Bai Liu thought.
Fang Dian came to him as expected. She asked Bai Liu excitedly how he was doing in the exam. Bai Liu said that he was performing normally, then Fang Dian cheered and said that when we were going to buy something to celebrate, Lu Yizhan cried with joy.
Soon Lu Yizhan and Fang Dian were taken away by his classmates. Bai Liu got his free time. He returned to his seat in the classroom, paused, and took out a roll of wooden sticks from under the classroom.
There are ten sticks in total, which are the wooden sticks he has saved.
The people in the classroom were discussing enthusiastically, and there were many people hiding in various places to confess. Bai Liu didn't have any expression on his face, and brushed these people without squint, and went under the flower bed.
He went to the commissary to exchange ten [one more] sticks for two strawberry-flavored cutlery, and then waited next to the ping-pong table under the scorching sun.
The ping-pong station is a very secretive little corner, so it is a holy place for many couples to avoid dating from the dean's exploration, but now everyone has finished the college entrance examination, the love under the table can be talked over the table, and there will be no teachers and parents anymore. No matter what, so this has always been a popular holy place for lovers, but there is no one at this moment.
The playground is full of men and women chasing each other and laughing happily. In the shade of the ping-pong table, there is an 18-year-old boy who is waiting for someone to come with two ice cream. Thinking about how to kill, I once hugged a non-existent monster here, avoiding the flashlight that swept from a distance.
But now, he is holding the strawberry that the monster wants to eat the most, and he is so cute, waiting here calmly, and telling him when he comes out and finishes eating by himself.
Tell him I like you.
Just like any eighteen-year-old boy would say to his lover—I like you, so stay with me for a while.
I said what you like and brought what you like to eat. Can you walk a little slower because I am still alone
Floating white clouds and birds in the blue sky, the boy in the white shirt under the green shade waited and waited, he waited from the scorching sun to dusk, from dusk to sunset, and waited until the ice cream in his hand had completely melted, the monster still did not come. .
It didn't hear what it liked, didn't eat the ice cream it liked, and left without saying goodbye
When he sees it in the future, if he can see it, he must not forgive it so easily.
Bai Liu slowly and slowly lowered his hand holding the ice cream. He looked into the distance calmly and said:
"I like you, spades."
