Chapter 264 Midnight Interlude

You have to understand that the world is very big, but just when you need it to be so big, big enough to hide your sorrow, it suddenly becomes very small, as small as a chopping board, and we are all fish waiting to be slaughtered on it.

It was ten o'clock in the evening. When there was no call, it seemed a little too early to go to bed, and it seemed a little too late to go out. The sky was still completely dark, and the human voice was hidden in the red lights and green wine of the distant city, like a star. Another bubble kept floating up until it was thrown out of the water and reached another world, where the noise could be heard.

There were no lights on in the single-family villa, and the room was dark. Su Xiaoqiang was lying on the sofa watching TV.

It can be said that she was watching TV. Her eyes did not even focus on the large LCD screen. There was a mobile phone on the table within easy reach. The screen was black. Her eyes were always looking up, patiently and piously. After a while, it suddenly seemed as if water had reached the boiling point. He eagerly picked up his bare feet on the sofa, with a slight tangle on his face.

When I finally made the decision to reach for my phone, I flinched again. I retracted my hand and glanced irritably at the Qiong Yao drama that was playing on the TV. Perhaps because I was distracted by the lines, I pressed the remote control and changed the TV to I felt relieved about the advertisement.

She was thinking of a reason.

A suitable and reasonable reason to bother a boy at this time.

Su Xiaoqiang is not a person who likes to find excuses. In school, there are few things that can make her worry about excuses. If she doesn't do her homework, she just doesn't do it. If she plays with her mobile phone in class, she is playing with her mobile phone. The teachers always pick on this girl. There is no way, because this girl has always been straightforward. When you tell her what she did, you just repeat what she did. It has no harsh or educational effect at all. The girl just stands there holding her hands and looking at you, letting you know what she did. Why can't you lose your temper? You can only wave your hand to tell her to pay attention next time.

But she didn't expect that it was only today that she got the bad consequences. She really wished that she was Lu Mingfei, a classmate in the class now. If it were him, the reasons and excuses would always come one after another. She didn't do her homework because she felt that she had done something wrong. I thought handing in the wrong homework would be better than not handing it in, so I tore them all up, so I didn’t do my homework. I fell asleep in class because I thought: If I am not in good spirits today, I should rest enough first and then learn new knowledge with full energy.

If it were him, the reason he needs now would naturally come casually, but there is a high probability that he would use nonsense words such as "Watching the Sky at Night, You and the Five Elements Are Missing Me" as a prelude to drag the other party to the same level as him, and then with the help of rich Although the atmosphere was not embarrassing after defeating the opponent with wasted experience, it was certainly not the atmosphere Su Xiaoqiang wanted.

Suddenly, Su Xiaoqiang began to envy Chen Wenwen, the president of the literary club in her class. Although she had always been at odds with him, she had to admire that if it were her, she would have been able to find a good reason to have sex with the man opposite her in the middle of the night. Children talk about many topics.

If it were her, she could first pull up a white boat, put on the sail, and float on the water where the night sky and stars serve as oars, and float far away. Otherwise, let’s talk about a canary we met on the road today. When the time comes, she will suddenly say, "Look, the moon has come out."

She always has a reason for people to mourn the spring and autumn with her. In two or three sentences, her literature and art can make anyone feel sad.

But this is not Su Xiaoqiang's style. She can't think of those literary sentences. If Chen Wenwen's way of expressing her love in the future is to confess to the boy beside her who watched the movie "Notting Hill" with her on Notting Hill, Then Su Xiaoqiang would probably take a five-layer cake, brush it with double icing and push the words "I love you" into the boy's face. The hired extras would scatter flowers, and the two would hug each other and tie the knot amidst applause and encouragement. .

She has a very straight temper, but people who are too straight often find it difficult to get along with others. Girls like her are more accustomed to breaking a boy's heart quickly and accurately, making him devoted to her. But when she rarely encounters a target that is invulnerable and has steel skin and iron bones, she often has no idea where to start, wandering around in circles, so anxious that tears well up in her eyes, and she is too stubborn to let it fall. When she got down, she made up her mind to fight him to the end, either the fish would die or the net would be broken.

After spending ten commercials to muster up the courage, Su Xiaoqiang took the phone and turned on the screen. She skillfully entered the chat software. There was still no new information in the chat box hanging high on top. She clicked on it and quickly entered: What are you doing? Three words pressed send.

Two seconds, three seconds.

Su Xiaoqiang lay on the sofa, raised the phone to the farthest point, looked at the screen, swallowed and pursed her lips, her heart beating a little faster. The sense of distance is really strange. When you know that a person is thousands of miles away, you can It's okay to chat with him on the Internet, but when you know that he and you live in the same city at this moment, the simple words "Are you there?" will become a lot more timid, although the distance between you has never changed. However, it has always been separated by a few inches of the screen of the mobile phone.

At the top of the chat software, the ID changed from "Flying into the Blue Sky" to "Nian Beast" at some point and it showed: typing in progress

Su Xiaoqiang raised the screen of her mobile phone high in one moment and buried herself in the sofa. She couldn't help kicking the air with her feet. When a particularly concerned sound came from the mobile phone in her hand, she suddenly raised it. Headed.

"rest."

The answer was simple, as simple as his style.

Su Xiaoqiang entered: Why don't you go to bed so late?

But halfway through typing, I deleted each word one by one.

She typed again: There will be tomorrow

The two words "tomorrow" were typed and deleted.

Final output: Why are you still not sleeping? You just got off the plane today, right? Is the time difference no problem?

The boy on the other side of the phone watched the prompts being entered on the ID appear and disappear, appear and disappear again, and after repeating it two or three times, he finally received the question that the other party had been considering for a long time. He glanced at it and just replied: Not sleepy.

Then the typing prompt on the opposite side started to flash again. After disappearing and reappearing several times, the question that had been held back for a long time was finally sent out.

"Are you free tomorrow?" Su Xiaoqiang took a deep breath and clicked send.

A few seconds later, the other party replied: I'm not free tomorrow. I have something to do in the next few days. What's wrong?

"I know that a new restaurant has opened recently and it tastes very good. I wanted to ask if you would like to go and try it together?" Su Xiaoqiang replied, typing very fast.

This time it was the other person's turn to be deep in thought, probably thinking about whether this kind of consumption could be reimbursed by the execution department. After thinking for a long time, he replied: Let's talk about it, I have something to do with someone recently and I am not free. If you are free, you can go.

"I'll wait for you to be free, and I'll find you then." Su Xiaoqiang quickly replied.

Reply from the other side: 1

After taking a few deep breaths to adjust his heart rate, Su Xiaoqiang covered his phone on the sofa and suddenly laughed out loud for no reason. But he seemed to feel that his laughter was a bit stupid, so he stopped the sound and hit the sofa twice. The pillow, and finally fell down on the sofa again, dragging the pillow over and hugging it, ready to close his eyes.

But at this moment, her phone vibrated again.

Thinking that there was a new reply, Su Xiaoqiang threw away the pillow and took out her phone. However, she found that it was a message from the class group. She didn't join many groups, so she didn't set up the group message to not alert her. Apparently there was someone in the class group. Some new topic was raised, and messages came out one after another.

"really?"

"Seriously, that girl is really pretty. The boss said she is definitely among the top three in our class."

"So proud?"

"Lin Nian is so awesome. What do you mean by not showing your true face?"

"We are not just jealous, how dare you do this?"

"I don't dare, so I can only say that Lin Nian is amazing."

She clicked in subconsciously, looked through the group messages and felt a little confused, because the chat topic was about Lin Nian, but for some reason she couldn't understand what they were talking about.

A group of people in the class were talking about Lin Nian and a girl they didn't know. They said the girl was beautiful and that Lin Nian was great. It was just that the tone of the compliment was a bit weird, and they didn't mean it sincerely. The smell is a bit nauseating.

She felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to type, but she didn't know what to say, so she flipped through the records, and her heart sank as she flipped through the records. The sense of absurdity and incredible inconsistency flooded out through the screen as the information between the lines came out, until she flipped over Reached the source of the message record.

"Things are being kept true?"

"Honey, holy shit, the boss told me that I caught Lin Nian getting out of a Porsche and a woman outside the Regent Hotel. The two were so close to each other that they kept joking. The woman was... I almost fell into Lin Nian's arms."

"Don't spread lies, let me go. Is it true? You just came back to have dinner and have fun, are you so playful?"

"The atmosphere abroad is indeed quite open, but it's not like I've been so good at it in the past six months."

"That girl is quite beautiful. I heard Chen Wenwen say that she seemed to have caught a glimpse of her."

"How old?"

"It seems like a college student."

"I found it this way"

"As long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties."

"Forget it, just say a few words less, it won't have much impact, and there won't be any in the group."

"Hey, I just said it when I said it. I don't do anything bad at ordinary times, and I'm not afraid of it in the middle of the night. I understand everything."

She inexplicably thought of the conversation she had just had when Lin Nian said he had something to do with someone, but didn't say who the person was. She was suddenly a little scared, but then her fear was overcome by the anger of denying reality, so she picked up her phone and prepared to send a message.

"You bastards, what are you talking about?" Su Xiaoqiang scrolled the message to the bottom. Seeing that they were still discussing, she wanted to send out the words, but the person who spoke was one step ahead of her and stopped her. speech.

"Oh, by the way, I said before that I didn't believe it, and the boss even sent me a photo."

In the latest news, a photo was flashed on the mobile phone. It was read from 0% to 100%. When the photo was displayed, it gave off a feeling, like opening the door of a sauna and being filled with people. The dense white mist made people suddenly breathless.

It's quite sad.

Advertisements were still playing on the large LCD TV, but no one was sitting on the sofa. The sound of Laojiu's villa door closing sounded only after a while. The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away until they were suppressed by the sound of the TV.
