Very…
peace.
Everything is unbelievably peaceful.
"London Bridge is falling~falling~falling~London Bridge is falling~My Fair Lady~"
Sunlight shines through the windows into the classroom obliquely.
Gu Meng sat in front of the piano at the front of the classroom, looked up slightly at the electronic clock above the white wall, her slender hands were still flexibly jumping and tilting on the keys.
Behind him, there is a whole piece of loud and clear children's voice.
Everything is peaceful.
Gu Meng narrowed her eyes carefully, and stared more carefully in the direction of the electronic clock.
The date displayed on the clock at this moment is August 31, and the time is 12:31—
Today is the park opening report day.
Gu Meng clearly remembered that the moment he finished playing this nursery rhyme, he fell into a narrow space called "Smart House". After that, there was a series of horrible events that could not be explained by science.
However, the strange thing is that even though Gu Meng knew what he had experienced and what was happening at this moment, he didn't have any emotional fluctuations in his heart.
As for why he returned to this day, he was not at all curious, nor did he feel flustered, nor did he feel anxious and clueless. Instead, his heart was filled with an unprecedented peace and tranquility.
I just feel that everything is just right naturally.
Sunshine, grass, clean windows, children's singing, everything is in an extremely comfortable balance, neither too dull nor too dry.
He also obtained a rare peace because of this. If he savored it carefully, he could even use "happiness" to describe the faint feeling that spread all the capillaries in his body.
All of a sudden, I don't want to pursue anything anymore.
Gu Meng has a kind of self-confidence, everything that follows will let him soak in this extremely gentle and comfortable atmosphere, there is nothing to worry about.
"London Bridge is falling~falling~falling~London Bridge is falling~My Fair Lady~"
The last syllable was infinitely drawn out in the mouths of the children.
Gu Meng raised her hand, the piano picked up the sound, and the classroom fell silent in an instant.
Crisp and neat.
This time, nothing happened. Immediately afterwards, the impression of "Smart House" in memory became blurred as if wiped by a hand.
Gu Meng sat upright in front of the piano, using the black piano panel as a mirror, and looked at the child sitting quietly behind her—
There was not a single mischievous person. All hands were neatly placed on their knees, and their short legs were put together, looking at the direction of the piano expectantly.
Gu Meng thought to herself, this might be the most obedient classmate he ever brought up, which made people feel at ease.
Gu Meng slowly stood up from the piano, pressed the cover of the piano, and when she turned around, there was a light and gentle smile on her face.
"Kids." Qingyue's voice sounded in the silent classroom, with a gentle and gentle tone, "Tomorrow is the first day of school. Does anyone remember the three preparations for going home today?"
"Swipe", "Swipe", "Swipe".
A small hand stood up like a small poplar tree.
Gu Meng looked around and smiled from the bottom of her heart.
Very…
peace.
So peaceful... like losing all ability to anger, sadness, and despair.
"Teacher Gu."
After seeing off the children in the class at noon, Gu Meng was standing at the desk sorting things out when she heard a female voice calling him at the door.
Gu Meng looked up, and saw a little girl with a ponytail that she had never seen before walking in.
The little girl was about twenty years old, and when she walked in, she covered her face with the folder she was holding, revealing only a pair of big peach-blossoming eyes.
Gu Meng was stunned for half a second, then blurted out: "You are..."
"Your new colleague." The little girl put down the file folder and lay on the partition between the desks, with a natural tone.
"Shanni..." Just as she was about to ask her colleague Wu Shanni where she had been with for three years, Gu Meng suddenly stopped talking.
It seems... There is nothing to explore, and he is not very curious in his heart.
Changes in personnel are nothing more than normal.
"What's the matter?" Gu Meng showed a gentle but polite smile to the little girl.
"There is someone at the gate of the kindergarten who claims to be your boyfriend and is waiting for you outside." As she said that, the little girl blushed, picked up the folder to cover her face, and urged, "Go quickly, I will pick you up from get off work."
Gu Meng thought for a while, nodded her head, then lowered her head and stuffed the thermos cup into her satchel. A faint warmth rose in her heart, and the corners of her lips curled up uncontrollably.
Before going out with her bag, Gu Meng turned her head and cared about her new colleague, saying, "Are you still used to it here?"
"Yeah!" The little girl nodded vigorously, looking full of energy, and smiled brightly, "This is the job I have dreamed of for a long time, and now I finally got my wish and become a kindergarten teacher. I will work hard!"
Infected by the youthful vigor, Gu Meng couldn't help laughing, and said casually, "You just graduated this year?"
"No, no, no." The little girl scratched her head and said with a slightly embarrassed smile, "I dropped out of junior high school and just came out of the juvenile prison the year before last, and I have been staying in the garment factory since then. This place is much better than the garment factory. So I cherish this job opportunity very much.”
Hearing this, Gu Meng felt a little weird and disobedient, and wanted to frown fiercely, but the thought of being impolite was only fleeting, and then the whole person was filled with extreme peace.
His smile froze for a moment, then he waved his hand to the little girl and said, "Come on, see you tomorrow."
"Goodbye, Teacher Gu!"
The little girl was so excited that she almost jumped up on the spot.
Walking along the cobblestone path in front of the teaching building to the school gate, Gu Meng saw that tall and straight figure from a distance.
Among the old ladies who are waiting for their grandchildren to leave kindergarten, they are simply outstanding and outstanding in the world.
Gu Meng pursed her lips to hold back her smile, deliberately slowed down, and continued walking forward.
He saw that silly tall gentleman standing in the middle of the entrance of the kindergarten, exposed to the sun, and he didn't know how to find a shady place to hide.
As he approached, the man frowned first, his eyes narrowed by the sun became narrower and narrower, and then reached out to take the bag in his hand.
The voice was still low and soft, but the words he said were a little serious, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Gu Meng said: "In less than two hours, we met again."
It was only two hours before I left the copy of the Kagome song.
Enjin carried the satchel on her shoulder, held Gu Meng's hand, said "hmm" lightly, and said, "Come back to cook at noon?"
"If you go shopping for vegetables, I'll do it." Gu Meng and Ren Enjin took the lead, and the two turned around and walked towards the subway entrance. He said, "If you don't buy, we'll eat Decos downstairs."
"I'll buy it." Enjin said, looking ahead, and then added, "Don't eat junk food in the future."
All the old ladies around looked at the two young and handsome young men, turning a blind eye to their hand in hand, as if they were used to it.
On the way to the subway station, Gu Meng stepped a little more briskly, raised her face and took a deep breath of sunshine.
The inner peace is still there, coupled with the company of lovers. They held hands, took a walk, and bought groceries on the way home, everything was just like the scenes he had imagined countless times—
"This is the seventh day?"
Gu Meng turned her head to the side and looked at the tall and stern man beside her.
"En." Enjin responded without explaining too much.
"On the seventh day, is it to get rid of the game completely?" Gu Meng had to think so.
Everything has returned to the way it used to be, and the memories in the dungeon have become as ethereal and unreal as dreams. Although it was only two hours since the last dungeon, the hand in my mind seems to speed up the speed of smearing, Many pictures in the memory have become blurred and hazy, as if everything in the past was really just a big dream.
Gu Meng looked at the scenery on the street, everyone was going about their lives in an orderly manner, the breeze was not dry, the sun was just right, and the city became inexplicably gentle on this day—
No, not just back to what it was, but better than everything it was.
"Too good..." Gu Meng said to herself.
At this moment, the two stopped in front of the traffic light.
Gu Meng still couldn't believe it, so she confirmed to Enjin: "We're back? Is everything over?"
"Yes." Enjin said, "It's over."
"That's great." Gu Meng smiled gratifiedly, and the satisfaction in her heart instantly swelled several times.
"Are you satisfied with everything now?" Enjin suddenly asked Gu Meng.
Gu Meng was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Satisfied, how could you be dissatisfied? In any case, it is good to be able to return to the normal world."
"If you are satisfied..." Enjin lowered her eyes, held Gu Meng's hand and squeezed it, and said in a low voice, "Just live with me like this, okay?"
"certainly… "
Just as Gu Meng was about to say yes, the pedestrians on both sides stepped forward—
The green light came on.
"Let's go." Gu Meng hurriedly dragged En Jin to follow the pedestrians at the intersection.
Behind him, Enjin looked at his back, his eyes sparkled in the sunlight, which was fleeting.
After getting off the subway, Gu Meng took En Jin back to the community of a certain age, and bought vegetables at the vegetable market near the community.
"The new colleague is very cute, and she also said that she has been in the juvenile detention center."
On the way to the apartment building with a crucian carp in hand, Gu Meng and Enjin chatted about the kindergarten.
"Young prison?" Enjin asked.
"What's wrong?" Gu Meng looked at him sideways and said, "Is there something wrong?"
Turning her eyes around Gu Meng's face, Enjin shook her head, carrying bags of all sizes with both hands, and continued to walk forward.
"So many dishes, can you really finish them?" Gu Meng looked down at the dishes in Enjin's hands, and said worriedly, then she had a flash of inspiration and suggested, "Call Bo Ye and Tang Zhi over here." , They must have returned."
Enjin said: "Yes, but it will take some time to find the contact information."
After all, they never thought of exchanging WeChat IDs in the game.
Gu Meng thought of another matter, which used to be on her mind, but now, she doesn't seem to be so worried.
He just said with a wish of blessing: "I hope Peter can get through the next dungeon safely and come back soon..."
At this moment, they walked to the bottom of the unit building, Gu Meng looked up and looked upstairs, a little embarrassed said: "The house may be a bit messy, don't mind."
"No." Enjin looked up following Gu Meng's gaze, turned her head to look at Gu Meng, and said solemnly, "I will rely on you to raise her in the future, can I?"
Gu Meng joked: "Are you a genius afraid you won't be able to support yourself?"
"I just want to rely on you..." Enjin turned around, took a step closer, looked down into Gu Meng's eyes and said, "Just let me live with you like this and maintain the current state, okay?"
Gu Meng blushed at the sight, coughed lightly to cover up, and said, "If you don't think I'm simple, then..."
Just as he was talking, his eyes were attracted by a tall old tree behind Enjin.
The tree reached up to his bedroom window. Usually, if you open the window in the room, there will even be a few soft branches poking into the window.
Gu Meng looked at the tree and was suddenly taken aback.
"Gu Meng?" In front of him, Enjin called him, and said with a hint of urging, "Then what?"
"Then..." Gu Meng murmured in a low voice.
After a while, the eyes focused on Enjin in front of him again.
Gu Meng suddenly became interested, and asked with a smile, "Hey, what were you thinking when you were a tree?"
Enjin frowned, as if she couldn't understand what he was saying.
Gu Meng had to remind: "Didn't you say that you parasitized a tree?"
"Oh." Enjin responded lightly and said, "Is there?"
Immediately, he reminded again: "What did you want to say just now?"
The smile that had been maintained on Gu Meng's face gradually disappeared, and he felt that something was broken in the world around him, and the extremely comfortable balance appeared skewed.
He asked again, but this time his voice was a little colder: "What were you thinking at that time?"
"It's been too long, I don't remember much." Enjin said naturally, still clinging to the question, "Are you willing to live like this with me?"
The peace was completely broken, and countless panic, anxiety, fear and melancholy surged out from the crack in an instant, and Gu Meng felt his palms start to sweat.
The disembowelled crucian carp in the black bag suddenly flicked its tail like a dying struggle, and the bag fell out of its hand.
Gu Meng steadied her mind, but she couldn't hold back the image that gradually began to shake in her field of vision. Whether it was Enjin's face or the ancient towering tree behind Enjin, tiny pixel squares appeared on it. Steadily shifted and shook, then returned to its original position in an instant, and then continued to shake, like a TV channel that gradually lost its signal.
"Listen up." Gu Meng took a deep breath, took a step forward, and put her fingertips on Enjin's temple, "In the world of geniuses, the words 'don't remember' don't exist."
At the same time as the voice fell, everything around him shattered into countless squares, engulfing Gu Meng like a flood of information.
"alarm."
"alarm."
"Level 2 alert."
"Test subject 1001, first-class, awakened halfway, and the balance cabin was forced to open."
"Alarm. Alert..."
Dazzling red light flickered around, and the dull electronic female voice continued to ring in my ears.
Gu Meng had to cover her eyes, resisting the nausea in her stomach, and said weakly: "Come here, please disarm the alarm."
In the next second, the red light disappeared and the sound stopped.
Gu Meng was lying on the leather sofa, still in the adaptation stage, not in the mood to pay attention to the surrounding environment.
Then, he heard a broadcast tone.
The young man seemed to sigh, and said, "Sister-in-law, you are really dishonest."
"..." Gu Meng put down her hands, squinted her eyes to adapt to the light in front of her eyes, and said, "Who is your sister-in-law? Who is your relative?"
"..."
Through the communication equipment, Gu Meng could feel the embarrassment and silence on the other side.
The author has something to say:
Thank you for persevering until the end, it's almost over.
