After washing his clothes, Yu Hao lay on the bed and looked at the stars on the ceiling.
At ten forty-five, Zhou Sheng hadn't returned yet, and the dormitory building was closing time.
"Where to go?"
The phone screen reflected Fu Liqun's handsome face like Wang Leehom, especially from the side.
Yu Hao: "Buy cigarettes."
Fu Liqun: "You don't smoke."
Since Fu Liqun broke up with Cen Shan, his tone of voice has always been so unhappy, like the male Siri on the phone.
"Coax people." Yu Hao said, then wearing shorts, slippers and a T-shirt, he went to the second floor and slipped down the radiator.
The access control of the dormitory building can't stop this group of sports students, especially Zhou Sheng, who was the first to develop access after ten o'clock.
Zhou Sheng was very good at parkour. He jumped up and down the eaves and walked on the wall as if walking on the ground. He jumped from the first floor to the security window and then flipped over to enter the second floor. But Yu Hao couldn't do it. Zhou Sheng taught him several times without teaching him, and finally he had to teach him to climb the heating pipe and laughed mercilessly.
Yu Hao bought Zhou Sheng a bag of Zhonghua and put it in his pocket, remembering that Zhou Sheng's lighter was about to run out of gas a few days ago, and the whole dormitory was full of difficult clicking sounds, so he bought another lighter.
He suddenly wanted to take it apart and smoke one.
On the spring night, the campus was noisy. Many wild wolves were imprisoned by hormones in the male body. They walked up and down the corridor shirtless, sometimes howling dryly. The strength of youth had nowhere to vent, and it was extremely distressing.
Yu Hao walked along the path behind the dormitory and gradually moved away from the dormitory area. The world became quiet. On the night when the spring breeze was intoxicated, only tobacco, alcohol and sex could provide comfort, but he had none of these three.
Zhou Sheng had to smoke less. Yu Hao opened the cigarette case and sat on the edge of the sports field, thinking that smoking while practicing triathlon was not good for his heart. It is best to find an electronic cigarette and gradually replace it for him. But Yu Hao really liked the faint smell of smoke on his body, mixed with the breath of his body, it had become a kind of mark of Zhou Sheng.
He took one out, thought about it, and put it back.
In the silence, Yu Hao suddenly raised his head and seemed to see a figure, walking straight through the garden behind the basketball court towards the dormitory building outside the playground.
Yu Hao frowned and looked up. The figure barely made a sound, moved in parallel, and quickly disappeared behind the dormitory building.
Yu Hao always felt that something was wrong - it was the teachers' dormitory. There is no access control, but people who go back to the dormitory usually do not pay special attention to their footsteps. There is only one type of people who try their best not to make footsteps. They are hiding something.
Yu Hao got up and looked out from the barbed wire fence on the playground. This time, he did see a figure entering the dormitory building, but he didn't go upstairs or open the door! Just got into the corner area under the stairwell!
Yu Hao suddenly felt a chill down his spine, who is that? There is a narrow triangular space under the stairs of the dormitory building, where brooms and other items are usually stored. Someone walked into the place where the brooms were kept when it was close to eleven? !
Holding his breath, he carefully walked along the parking lot, detoured from another road to the teacher's dormitory, and walked to the stairwell.
The figure turned his back to him and stood quietly.
Yu Hao: "..."
His breathing quickened, and the figure turned to face him.
Chen Yekai.
Chen Yekai just stood quietly under the stairwell, like a ghost.
"Mr. Chen?" Yu Hao was horrified, and his voice almost didn't belong to him.
There was the sound of cars driving outside, and the bright headlights swept across the first floor of the dormitory building. There was a car coming, and it was about to illuminate where Yu Hao was standing. It was too late when Chen Yekai suddenly grabbed Yu Hao. Wrist, forcibly dragged him into the stairwell!
Yu Hao bumped into Chen Yekai and smelled the alcohol left under his coat and shirt. The next moment, Chen Yekai raised his hand and covered Yu Hao's hand.
"Don't say anything." Chen Yekai said in a very low voice beside Yu Hao's ear.
The jacket Chen Yekai was wearing was not the one he wore today when he was climbing the mountain. It blocked the smell of alcohol after the dinner, and Yu Hao's blood was congealed. He didn't know what Chen Yekai wanted to do, but out of trust in him, he didn't say anything. any sound. Outside the dormitory building, the car was turned off, the door was closed, the alarm was turned on, and the sound came one after another. Then, the sound of man's footsteps kept approaching towards the stairs.
"Okay, the key is that she hasn't woken up." The man was on the phone and sighed, "I really don't know, what else is there to say."
Yu Hao felt Chen Yekai's heart rate jumping to one hundred or six in an instant. One of his hands was always in the pocket of his clothes and he didn't take it out. At this moment, Chen Yekai's whole body was shaking.
Yu Hao held Chen Yekai's hand with his backhand across his coat, and pressed him, he felt something in the pocket of his coat.
"Okay." A man's voice said, "Then, please."
The man passed directly by them, did not find the two hiding in the darkness, and walked up the stairs.
"Hopefully..."
The sound faded away, the electronic lock on the third floor beeped, and the door closed.
Only then did Chen Yekai put his hands down, no one spoke, and still stood in the dark. Yu Hao held his wrist.
"Give it to me, teacher." Yu Hao said.
Chen Yekai couldn't stop trembling, and finally let go of his hand slowly, letting Yu Hao take his hand out of his pocket and brought out a sharp scalpel.
The scalpel cut through his pocket and cut out a little blood from Yu Hao's hand, staining a corner of Chen Yekai's clothes red.
"Yu Hao, why did you find me at this time?" Chen Yekai's voice was unusually calm, "Is this really fate?"
Yu Hao whispered: "If you want, you can treat it as it is. Well, it's fine, teacher, this knife is now under my custody. Don't think about it, just forget it."
These days, the metaphors, small expressions and movements in Chen Yekai's words seemed to have suddenly become enlightened with his actions that night.
Holding the knife, Yu Hao motioned for Chen Yekai to go up and go back to the dormitory.
Chen Yekai said, "Come up and have a cup of coffee."
Yu Hao replied, "We'll talk about it tomorrow, I'm sleepy, good night."
Chen Yekai: "Good night."
Yu Hao couldn't see Chen Yekai's expression in the darkness, but he knew that tonight, to some extent, Chen Yekai's entire life had been completely changed.
"Where did you go?"
Yu Hao walked through the playground with a lot of thought, but was startled by Zhou Sheng again, and subconsciously put his hands behind him.
Zhou Sheng drank a lot of wine and stood quietly under the basketball hoop.
"What about you?" Zhou Sheng said with obvious impatience, "Speak!"
Yu Hao said, "I... went to buy you cigarettes."
"You bought cigarettes here?" Zhou Sheng obviously didn't believe it.
Yu Hao said, "If you can't sleep, come out for a walk by the way."
Zhou Sheng: "Where's the smoke?"
Yu Hao took out the cigarette and handed it to him, Zhou Sheng said "hey", staggered, took the cigarette, and made a gesture to press the lighter, Yu Hao took out another lighter.
Zhou Sheng turned his head to look at Yu Hao with a half-smile, and said, "Light a cigarette, what are you doing standing there stupidly?"
"I'm drunk." Yu Hao said, "Go back first."
Zhou Sheng stood in front of Yu Hao, Yu Hao had no choice but to light a cigarette for him.
With a "click", the flames illuminated the faces of Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng. When Zhou Sheng approached, his eyes suddenly widened and he saw that Yu Hao's hand holding the lighter was covered in blood.
"Yu Hao!" Zhou Sheng's roar suddenly woke up the three dormitory buildings in the middle of the night.
Yu Hao: "Don't get excited!"
Zhou Sheng shouted hysterically, "Please explain it to me!"
Half an hour later, in the standard room of the small hotel outside the school.
"You're crazy!" Yu Hao finally couldn't bear it any longer. No matter what, he had to resist once, and if he didn't slap Zhou Sheng, he would blow himself up.
"I really don't know!" Zhou Sheng was half sober and said, "My first thought when I saw blood was that you cut your veins!"
Yu Hao: "I have something wrong, why should I cut my pulse!"
Zhou Sheng: "Aren't you always like this?"
Yu Hao: "Where am I like this!"
Yu Hao took the pillow and slapped Zhou Sheng, Zhou Sheng couldn't hide, and finally Yu Hao threw the pillow angrily, knowing that Zhou Sheng was only letting himself, after all, other people could single-handedly take out the other's entire dormitory.
"Don't move!" Zhou Sheng hesitated a lot, stood in the corner of the other bed, and said embarrassingly, "I was wrong, I was wrong! Be careful that the bandage is off!"
Yu Hao's palm was wrapped in bandages, and he wanted to die. The phone was ringing, and the WeChat group QQ group had a bunch of news, which all the dormitories of the entire grade heard. Zhou Sheng was on the playground at midnight. He yelled out Yu Hao's name like he was going crazy.
Fu Liqun called Yu Hao and asked, "Have you found someone?"
Yu Hao told Fu Liqun to pass by, and only then did he realize that Zhou Sheng was drunk. He first went back to the dormitory, and when he knew that Yu Hao was not there, he searched for him again.
"He called your name just now." Fu Liqun asked.
"It's me!" Zhou Sheng said.
Fu Liqun said: "Don't get drunk and go crazy, hurry back to sleep, where are you? Where are you? I'll pick you up?"
"I brought him out to open the room." Yu Hao said, motioning Zhou Sheng not to say more, Zhou Sheng nodded.
Fu Liqun said, "Okay, then I really fell asleep." He hung up the phone, Yu Yuhao and Zhou Sheng looked at each other. At the end of the week, Zhou Sheng got up and packed up the used iodine and bandages. Yu Hao said again, "Is there anyone who cuts the pulse or the palm? Come and see me?"
Zhou Sheng picked up the scalpel and looked at it, and said, "In the middle of the night, how can I clearly see where you cut!"
Yu Hao took the phone in his left hand and slid it away. Sure enough, it was full of @him: Zhou Sheng was calling your name downstairs. Bring people back. Zhou Sheng called you and called you. Explain it to me clearly... Yu Hao roared in his heart: I heard it! You don't need to remind me! Then turned off the phone.
Zhou Sheng finished packing, put away his ID card, and fell on the bed, exhausted.
Yu Hao said, "Are you still listening to my explanation?"
Zhou Sheng covered his face with a pillow, stretched out his fingers from under the quilt, and pointed at Yu Hao's bed.
"Sleep." Zhou Sheng's voice was somewhat cold, as if he had regained his status as a general, "I'm sleepy, I said in a dream."
This was the first time Yu Hao took the initiative to enter the dream world again four months after the Shi Ni incident ended.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on the throne in the center of the dream palace, surrounded by military officers. Behind it is a huge screen, with floating clouds and mountains above it, it is the Tianqing Mountain that has been climbed during the day.
The interior of the palace is gorgeously decorated with gold, red and silver materials. The sliding red lacquer carved gates automatically open in sequence, and the gilded carpets outside the palace appear layer by layer. Yu Hao lowered his head and found that his clothes were very out of order, not a royal robe but the uniform of a black deacon. Zhou Sheng was wearing red and black dragon scale armor, a shield on his back, and a three-inch long gold and iron long stick by his waist, and strode in.
"Congratulations, General!" The military attaches on both sides knelt on one knee.
Yu Hao: "..."
"Yo, it's beautifully decorated." Zhou Sheng took out "Linear Algebra (Part 2)" on the bookshelf on the side of the palace and flipped through it, "I'm still studying in my dreams."
Yu Hao: "Why does my NPC kneel before you?"
Zhou Sheng: "Can't they worship me?"
Yu Hao: "Fuck you."
Zhou Sheng: "Want to fight?"
Yu Hao: "You can beat me here?"
Zhou Sheng: "I'm not sure, practice?"
Zhou Sheng walked to the throne, Yu Hao thought that Zhou Sheng's madness really wanted to do something, he pressed his left fist on his right chest, saluted Yu Hao, bowed slightly, made a "please" gesture, and said, "Little one. Fox, go out for a walk?"
"How can I look like a fox!"
Only then did Yu Hao get up, followed Zhou Sheng out of the palace, and headed to the rooftop. Compared with the last time, the capital in the dream has changed a little. The lanterns and fireworks are gone, replaced by warm sunshine and bright flowers in spring.
The scenery in the conscious world seems to change with the feeling of the four seasons in reality. Outside the palace complex, on the platform facing the mountains, there was a suspension bridge without warning. The suspension bridge led to the clouds, which was where Yu Hao walked during the day.
"Recall what happened." Zhou Sheng said to Yu Hao, "Imagine a screen in front of you, let me see it, don't you mind?"
A memory image was projected in front of Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng, showing the whole process from Yu Hao's point of view downstairs in the dormitory in the middle of the night.
"That's it." Yu Hao said.
Zhou Sheng was quiet for a long time, then Yu Hao looked at him sideways and asked, "What should I do?"
"What can I do?" Zhou Sheng murmured, "He wants to kill someone."
Yu Hao said, "I dare not ask, the knife is still in the room. Why does he have such a big hatred for Professor Lin? Aren't they teachers and students?"
"Then you have to ask him." Zhou Sheng mocked, "How do I know?"
Yu Hao looked at Zhou Sheng suspiciously, and Zhou Sheng said, "This is a dream, so there's no need to wink."
"Do you know something?" Yu Hao asked.
Zhou Sheng pondered for a moment, Yu Hao thought he was thinking, but Zhou Sheng said, "Look."
Only then did Yu Hao realize that in the space in front of Zhou Sheng, a screen was also unfolded, and the scene in the hospital that he saw from Zhou Sheng's perspective was beating on it.
In front of Zhou Sheng, Professor Lin Xun with a ferocious face appeared, listening to Zhou Sheng.
"When?" Yu Hao was with Zhou Sheng most of the time, he didn't remember them meeting Lin Xun together.
"The day I handed in the bicycle registration for the race." Zhou Sheng said, "I was in the hospital guarding Mr. Liang, and this guy just happened to be here."
Yu Hao remembered, that day he noticed that Zhou Sheng's face was a little wrong, so it was because of this
"What's the matter? Classmate Zhou Sheng, if you have any difficulties, just say it."
"That..." Zhou Sheng said in a sincere voice, "Why don't I sell you a sandbag cheaply? There are a lot of them in our boxing club. It's not expensive to spend money to buy one. It's not good to use your wife as a sandbag to practice your hand every day! Professor Lin !"
"Why do you find someone to quarrel with wherever you go?" Yu Hao said helplessly.
Zhou Sheng said indifferently, "I just stabbed him a few times and asked him if he beat his wife at home."
Yu Hao: "..."
