Rebel Demon King

Chapter 1070 East of Timing (21)

After the man who wanted to call himself Dad left, Cheng Mo suddenly felt that the huge duplex building became empty, but the warm and comfortable feeling that made people sigh "finally back" has not dissipated. The delicate sound of the bowl machine running, the familiar texture of the coffee machine on the island, the unfinished picture by the floor-to-ceiling window bathed in moonlight, and the ubiquitous traces belonging to that girl made Cheng Mo's heart rise. A vague "home" feeling.

He pulled on his slippers and walked towards the living room. When he reached the coffee table, he bent down and picked up the diary covered with light brown leather. There was a belt-shaped drawstring on the diary, but the belt buckle was a small and delicate piece of paper. Brass combination lock.

After a little thought, Cheng Mo entered his birthday into it, and there was a light "pop" sound in the quiet living room. Cheng Mo unlocked the lock and untied the belt, just like lifting the veil of the girl. Finally, she was able to peep into her past, the hidden corner of her heart.

The lights in the living room were not turned on, but the lights and moonlight streaming in from the floor-to-ceiling windows were enough for him to see everything clearly.There is a short paragraph written on the title page of the diary. At that time, her handwriting was not as gorgeous and elegant as later, but it was also fresh and elegant, just like the illustrations on Weibo and circle of friends where young literary and artistic youths are keen to express their feelings on PO. the writing.

"Writing a diary is not for recalling the accounts of life in the future, and I have no vanity to prepare for autobiography. My purpose is fourfold: to focus on the heart, to think, to introspect at any time, one is also; to record sporadic feelings and interesting things, two are also ; Treat it as a practice, record your own growth with no rush and no slack.”

Seeing this text, Cheng Mo seemed to see Xie Minyun sitting in front of the desk with a solemn expression, holding a pen under the warm yellow desk lamp to write serious thoughts that did not match Xiaoqing's handwriting.It seems that the inscription was in the year of Jiawu, and she was only thirteen or fourteen years old at that time. She only read a short paragraph on the title page, which did not seem to be the sentence that a young girl should write.

Cheng Mo chuckled softly, thinking that Xie Xiaoniu is really very confident. She started thinking about writing an autobiography when she was thirteen or fourteen, and she decided not to write it. This is really planning ahead and thinking ahead.
He opened the diary with great interest, and sure enough, Xie Minyun did not complain about girls and studies like Ji Xianlin's "Tsinghua Garden Diary", nor did he keep a running account like Hu Shi, but mainly wrote some trivial sentiments.In addition, there are travel notes after studying in Europa.I wrote about the differences between Chinese and Western cultures, said that wearing a cheongsam and playing the piano caused the cheongsam craze in school, and analyzed how I could promote Chinese culture; I also wrote that Daiwa loves perfume so much that the dormitory smells of perfume every day. It is very arrogant to say that Asians have their own deodorant, but it turned out to be an analysis of the perfume industry; of course, most of the writing is about the experience of looking at paintings and sculptures in the Louvre.
Although it is a diary, the writing is intermittent and there is no time pattern. It is better to say that it is a collection of essays that records the time and place in detail.However, even though these words are one-sided and fragmented, one can clearly feel Xie Minyun's thinking logic and her life trajectory.

Cheng Mo has always read books very quickly. A diary like this that does not require deep thinking should be read faster. However, Cheng Mo sat on the sofa by the French window and slowly read every word. Occasionally, he saw Xie Minyun writing When she thinks of some trivial things about herself, she can't help but smile knowingly.

It's a pity that a diary is so thin that no matter how carefully he reads it, he still reads that Xie Minyun has returned to the country.The diary records why she came to Star City, one is because there are too many entanglements in the capital, it is too difficult to hide, and she wants to spend three years in a less disturbed environment; the other is because her mother is in Star City , and Star City happened to be the hometown of the person she admired the most.

In short, whether by chance or by destiny, she came to Star City.It is written in her diary that she went to Shaoshan to present flowers to the old man as soon as she got off the plane, and then went to the Provincial First Normal School for a few days, where she took pictures at the desk where the old man was studying, and then went to Yuelu Academy’s Banxuezhai, The former site of Xinmin Society and the former residence of Qingshuitang commemorate the great man
These few pages of travel notes occupy most of the content of the diary in the first year of high school. They talk about her ambitions, her respect for the elderly, and the hardships and prosperity of China over the years. I don’t know where the 15-year-old yellow-haired girl came from so many homes. National feelings and sighs.

As for other things, there are occasional records. It is written that she appeared on the Shonan Satellite TV program and suddenly became popular. At that time, people did not know much about the word "traffic", but she began to study the phenomenon of "traffic".And Du Leng also appeared in her diary for the first time. Xie Minyun seldom used bright brushstrokes to describe others in the diary, but mentioned that Du Leng rarely used the word "greasy", saying that Du Leng wrote to Her love poems are even more unbearable than Xu Zhimo's.

Cheng Mo wondered how much Xie Minyun hated Xu Zhimo, but he recalled the things Xu Zhimo had done and the poems he wrote, and it was indeed beyond praise.It's just that if Xu Zhimo knew that he was being compared with Du Leng, he might jump out of the coffin and hit the glass of Xie Minyun's house with a slingshot.

Well, now also the glass of his home.

Finally, Cheng Mo made his appearance.The exciting time has come.Originally, Cheng Mo thought that Xie Minyun would not write good things about himself. After all, the first time they met was a heated debate.But unexpectedly, Xie Minyun admitted that Cheng Mo's knowledge is more extensive than his own, and then made a list of nearly one page of books for himself, which he would have to read in one semester.Then he analyzed that the reason why he fell into a disadvantage was because he fell into the trap of Cheng Mo's sophistry thinking, saying that he would definitely win next time.

Cheng Mo was very dissatisfied when he saw this article, obviously he doesn't have a big head and a small body like a "little carrot head", right?Du Leng wrote his name directly, so why did he replace it with "Little Carrot Head"?Cheng Mo looked up at the oil painting, and said angrily to Xie Minyun's back: "Isn't your husband worthy of having a name? Also, what is 'falling down the wind', you obviously lost."

He stared at the void, as if he saw that figure turned his head and raised his pointed chin and said, "I didn't lose!"

From here on, the code name "Little Carrot Head" appeared frequently, the invitation at the school gate, the children's day party, the conversation between the two in the car and the teaching invitation with micro-expressions, and the cup of milk tea and the statement about 'cheating' in the cafeteria
Xie Minyun was very disappointed with "little luobotou"'s "cheating theory", and wrote a long speech to criticize Cheng Mo, and said that he would never talk to him again, Cheng Mo resented this very much.But the resentment didn't last long. July 2018, 7 was the day of the summer vacation, the day he signed up for the Europa holiday summer camp.

"On July 2018, 7, the weather was fine. A heart patient reported to the travel agency in Wuyi Square for the summer camp in Europa. He was really brave! He had a heart attack and ran around. He was really not afraid of death. It looks like I have to go to see it. Looking at him. Why do I feel like I am worried about him? Xie Minyun, you admit it? In quantum mechanics, nothing has a definite position unless it hits something else. I think the same is probably true for humans, sometimes There is no way to confirm my own existence until I meet another person. This summer, I want to meet you"

This puzzle that had been in Cheng Mo's mind for a long time was finally solved today.

Cheng Mo remembered that on the bus to the airport, Xie Minyun pretended to be nonchalant and said "what a coincidence" to him. He stared at the painting in the dead of night and laughed: "So you still lost! Xie Xiaojin , coincidence is not a matter of probability. Coincidence is the meaning of life for our leak detection.”

Tears in laughter.

——————————————————————————————

Cheng Mo was very sorry that the later narration lacked a large section of two people crossing Europa, not because the story was exciting enough, but because Xie Minyun's travel notes were beautifully written, with clear pen and ink, and always had a kind of lingering feeling. A sense of leisurely fascination.However, she has recorded her own trips to various "relic places" and her travels in Africa and the Middle East, and more of them are what she saw on the way during her charity work.She wrote about the well-designed frauds she encountered because of her good deeds, about the chaotic management of those poor countries, about the fact that a bottle of water in war-torn countries in the Middle East cost more than ten Chinese dollars, and about her difficulties in running a school in a refugee camp, but more Most of them write about the innocence and cuteness of children, many of which are real fragments that Cheng Mo has witnessed.

There are not too many personal relationships between children, only worries about the current situation, but Xie Minyun seldom expresses these with grand narratives, everything is in her delicate brushstrokes, and those vivid details make everyone in the world feel happy. The corner of attention is very strange, but it seems to be within reach.

However, the beginning of each of her diaries is a countdown, and the end date is the day when his university starts.

On September 2020, 9, she wrote that she wanted to arrange a grand ceremony for someone. There were not only joy in her words, but also tension and worry.For the first time, she wrote about her lack of self-confidence.

The words on this page, without returning to the usual agility and elegance, seemed very restrained.

Then on the next page, there are five big words "We got married", with a red wedding candy paper sandwiched in the middle, a maple leaf from Yuelu Mountain, a picture of the planetary candy he prepared for her in the polar region, and the cup of milk tea A heart-shaped sticker on the paper with the words "I turned the whole world upside down to straighten your reflection" written in ballpoint pen.

At this point, there is only the last paragraph in the diary:

"In the world of classical physics, human beings move eternally along a precise and long trajectory in a constant geometric space, just like a long movie. In the world of quantum physics, the world is a continuous, The never-ending flow, the constant appearance and disappearance of fleeting entities, a series of oscillations, like the fashionable hippie world of the 20s, a world made of events rather than objects."

"And in my world and yours, time and space are gone."

-------------------------

Cheng Mo held the diary and sat by the floor-to-ceiling window for an unknown amount of time, until the ringing of the phone interrupted his thoughts. He knew it wasn't Athena. Athena usually used WeChat to send him texts, and she hadn't called him yet when she came to Huaxia. a phone call.So he guessed it was Fu Yuanzhuo, or Feng Luwan.

He took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, and it was Fu Yuanzhuo calling as expected.Cheng Mo pressed the answer button, but there was still loud cheers.

Cheng Mo heard Fu Yuanzhuo ask in a low voice, "Are you busy now?" As soon as he answered "No", Guan Bojun's complaining voice came from the microphone, "Cheng Mo, you promised to help me and Fu Yuanzhuo hold a dinner party." Invitations, now that the banquet is temporarily cancelled, don't you plan to invite us to dinner with Athena?"

After Guan Bojun finished speaking, all the noisy voices on the other end of the phone disappeared, and suddenly became quiet, as if many people held their breath, expecting a result.

If it were the past, Cheng Mo would definitely refuse without hesitation, but now his heart has softened a lot, and after a little thought, he agreed, saying that he would invite everyone to dinner tomorrow.Immediately there were cheers everywhere, it felt like the fans were celebrating the victory.

"Where, where?" Fu Yuanzhuo took the phone and asked.

Cheng Mo recalled that he said he wanted to take Athena to eat hot pot, but he hadn't made it so far, so he said, "Let's go to Haidilao!"

"Then can I call Tongtong?" Fu Yuanzhuo sighed and said, "Let her face the reality."

"Face the reality? Is it so cruel?"

"I've been waiting for you for three years! This is not cruel, what is cruelty?"

"But I didn't tell her to wait." Cheng Mo was helpless.

Fu Yuanzhuo said heartbrokenly: "You, a winner in life, how can you understand the heart of a defeated dog like us? It's not that we want to wait. Can you understand? It's like expecting a vegetable to wake up, knowing that there is nothing too late. We have great hopes, but we can't bear to unplug the ventilator and let that person disappear from our world completely."

"If it's hopeless, you have to pull it out quickly. Why waste money, medical resources, and feelings?"

"Berry Conscience! You."

"I'm a vegetable and I didn't say anything."

"Okay! You're awesome!" Fu Yuanzhuo said angrily, "You ask Yan Yitong to pull out your ventilator tomorrow!"

"Hmm! Mmm~!"

"Hey! There's nothing to say. You can take Athena to her and she will understand. Don't talk about it. You should do your work first. We'll see you tomorrow."

"Ah."

Cheng Mo hung up the phone and sent a WeChat message to Athena. She and Feng Luwan had already returned to the hotel to rest.Athena is not the kind of clingy girl either. Cheng Mo doesn't say anything, and she never asks Cheng Mo where he went or what he did.Therefore, Cheng Mo gets along very comfortably with her. Sometimes Cheng Mo feels that he and Athena have skipped the stage of passionate love and entered a mode of getting along more like close relatives. Warmth and plainness are the norm, and there is no passion and romantic.

This kind of getting along is exactly what Athena likes, Cheng Mo doesn't care, he can switch any mode, provided that he really likes it.

I told Athena about the meeting with Xie Minyun's father just now, and Athena didn't respond too much. She just asked him if he would go back to the hotel at night. The experiment had been suspended for several days.Cheng Mo thought for a while, and felt that although Xie Minyun would not mind bringing Athena to live in "Hesheng Xiaoyun" in Tian Youling, the dream of Athena and Xie Minyun's world falling apart was too realistic, so he I still replied that I would go back to the hotel before twelve o'clock.Athena didn't post any more, her chatting always seemed to stop abruptly, and Cheng Mo was already used to it.

Cheng Mo put Xie Minyun's diary in the bookshelf, and then went to the second floor to look at Xie Minyun's bedroom. The bedroom is also designed in a very modern and cool color tone. There is a round cartoon panda puppet beside the bed, which is very cute.Cheng Mo walked over and picked up the panda, took the puppet to see the study room and fitness room, and then took the panda puppet to the exclusive rooftop on the top floor.

The stairwell has been converted into a coffee bar and bar, and is connected to a sun room with a sloping roof. There are sofas and pianos in the sun room. Outside the glass is a quiet sky garden, which combines the styles of Chinese gardens and Japanese Karesansui.Rockery, flowing water, stone lanterns, water bowls, white sand, gravel and other elements are all available, but they are not messy and well-organized. It is very peaceful at first glance, but the two Italian cypresses planted later are slightly abrupt , but it is not fun to watch it with the moonlight.

Cheng Mo glanced at the cardboard boxes piled up next to the sofa, and was sure they were parts of radio telescopes, so he went to the bar and made himself a cup of coffee, then sat on the sofa and disassembled the boxes one by one, quietly starting to assemble the telescope .At eleven o'clock, Cheng Mo put down the work at hand, opened the glass sliding door, walked to the two Italian cypress trees trimmed into pine cones, lingered for a while, and then went downstairs and walked out of the house.

Back in the living room, when Cheng Mo took the key, he felt that there was someone at the door, who was still the chosen one. After sensing that the other party had remained motionless, Cheng Mo knew that the other party was not malicious to him, but should be protecting him, but he opened it. Still cautious when opening the door.

Under the orange light, Jiang Jun stood guard at the door like a javelin. He handed Cheng Mo a Tai Chi Dragon badge and said in a low voice, "We will protect your safety until you get Ouroboros. , you only need to press the badge twice, or whisper for help, and we will appear by your side as soon as possible."

Cheng Mo said "Thank you", and took the elevator downstairs with Jiang Jun. At this time, another person had parked the bulletproof Rolls Royce with a special license plate at the elevator entrance.

Jiang Jun opened the car door for Cheng Mo, and Cheng Mo bowed into the car. The slender black and silver car drove out of the basement, and passed through the ancient and modern city in the blurred night. Looking back through the car window, you can still see the cute cat ears protruding from the two Italian cypress trees on the top of the building.
In the refreshing cold wind, Cheng Mo closed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Good night, Xie Xiaojin."

————————————————————————————

The next day, Cheng Mo was completely free. On the contrary, Athena was busier than Cheng Mo, and had to attend some activities arranged by Bai Xiuxiu for her. Athena had no complaints about this. Huaxia did not have her laboratory, except at night With Cheng Mo's experiment, she didn't have anything else to do. In fact, she was very happy with the situation.

But after yesterday's accident, Feng Luwan and Kong Li, who were in charge of receiving Cheng Mo and Athena, were trembling when they faced the enemy.
Because he made an appointment to go to Haidilao in Xizhimen for dinner at [-] o'clock in the evening, Fu Yuanzhuo called in the afternoon. Seeing that Cheng Mo was fine, Fu Yuanzhuo drove to Aman Yuanmingyuan to pick him up.Seeing that Fu Yuanzhuo changed his previous high profile and drove a Volvo electric car, Cheng Mo was quite surprised, thinking that classmate Fu Yuanzhuo had really changed a lot.

Cheng Mo got into the car and said, "Is it too early to go now?"

"Let's pick up Tongtong first, she is recording a program on CCTV."

Cheng Mo said "Oh" and fastened his seat belt, Fu Yuanzhuo drove his electric car up Wanquan Road, heading towards the big pants.
