catch the dream

After washing his clothes, Yu Hao lay on the bed, looking at the stars on the ceiling.

At 45:[-], Zhou Sheng hadn't come back yet, and it was closing time for the dormitory building.

"Where are you going?"

Fu Liqun's handsome Wang Leehom face was reflected on the screen of the mobile phone, especially from the side.

Yu Hao: "Buy cigarettes."

Fu Liqun: "You don't smoke."

Ever since Fu Liqun broke up with Cen Shan, his tone of voice has always been so neither sad nor happy, just like the male Siri on the mobile phone.

"Coax people." Yu Hao said, and then, wearing shorts, slippers and a T-shirt, 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 at all, especially Zhou Sheng who was the first to develop the passage after ten o'clock.

Zhou Sheng has really mastered the art of parkour, jumping up and down eaves and walls as if walking on the ground, jumping from the first floor to the security window and then entering the second floor.But Yu Hao couldn't do it, Zhou Sheng taught him several times but failed to teach him, and in the end he had to teach him to climb the radiator and ridiculed him mercilessly.

Yu Hao bought a bag of Zhonghua for Zhou Sheng, and put it in his pocket, remembering that Zhou Sheng's lighter was almost out of gas a few days ago, and the whole dormitory was filled with difficult cracking noises, so he bought another lighter.

He suddenly wanted to take it apart and smoke one.

The campus in the spring night is full of noise, many wild wolves are imprisoned by hormones in the male body, walking around shirtless in the corridor, howling from time to time, with nowhere to vent their youthful energy, they are extremely depressed.

Yu Hao walked out along the small path behind the dormitory, and gradually moved away from the dormitory area, the world became quieter. On nights intoxicated by the spring breeze, the only comforts were cigarettes, alcohol and sex, but he didn't have any of these three things.

Zhou Sheng had to be asked to smoke less. Yu Hao opened the cigarette case and sat on the edge of the sports field, thinking that smoking while practicing triathlon would be bad for his heart.It is best to find an electronic cigarette and gradually replace it for him.But Yu Hao liked the faint smell of cigarettes on his body very much, mixed with the breath of his body, it had become a certain symbol of Zhou Sheng.

He took one out, thought about it, and put it back.

In the silence of everything, Yu Hao suddenly raised his head and seemed to see a figure walking straight through the garden behind the basketball court towards the dormitory 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 building.There is no access control, but people returning to the dormitory usually don't pay special attention to the sound of their own footsteps. There is only one type of person who tries not to make footsteps, and they are covering up something.

Yu Hao got up and looked out from the barbed wire fence on the playground, this time he really saw a figure entering the dormitory building, but he didn't go upstairs, nor opened the door!Just into the corner area under the stairwell!

Yu Hao's spine suddenly felt chills, who is that?There is a narrow triangular space under the stairs in the dormitory building, where brooms and other things are usually stored. Someone walked into the place where the broom was kept when it was close to eleven o'clock? !

Holding his breath, he walked carefully along the parking lot, took another road to the back of the teachers' dormitory building, and walked towards the stairwell.

The figure stood quietly with its back to itself.

Yu Hao: "..."

His breathing became rapid, and the figure turned around to face him.

Chen Yekai.

Chen Yekai just stood quietly under the stairwell, like a ghost.

"Teacher Chen?" Yu Hao felt his hair stand on end, his voice almost didn't belong to him.

There was the sound of a car running outside, and the bright headlights swept across the first floor of the dormitory building. A car was coming, and it was about to illuminate the place where Yu Hao was standing. Before it was too late, Chen Yekai grabbed Yu Hao suddenly. wrist, forcibly dragged him into the stairwell!

Yu Hao bumped into Chen Yekai's body and smelled the residual alcohol under his jacket and on his shirt.The next moment, Chen Yekai raised his hand and covered Yu Hao's hand.

"Don't say anything." Chen Yekai whispered in Yu Hao's ear.

The coat that Chen Yekai wore was not the one that he climbed the mountain today, 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, and the alarm was turned on, and the sound came one after another.Then, the sound of man's footsteps approaching the stairs.

"Okay, the point is that she hasn't woken up." The man was on the phone and sighed, "I really don't know what else to say."

Yu Hao felt Chen Yekai's heartbeat jump up to [-] in an instant. He kept one hand in his pocket all the time and didn't take it out. At this moment, Chen Yekai's whole body was shaking.

Through the coat, Yu Hao held Chen Yekai's hand behind his back, pressed him, and he felt something in the pocket of the coat.

"Okay." A man's voice said, "Then, please."

The man passed them directly, and walked up the stairs without noticing the two hiding in the darkness.

"Hope it..."

The sound faded away, the electronic lock on the third floor beeped, and the door closed.

Only then did Chen Yekai put his hand down, no one said anything, and he was still standing in the dark.Yu Hao held his wrist.

"Give it to me, teacher." Yu Hao said.

Chen Yekai couldn't help trembling, and finally let go of his hand slowly, allowing Yu Hao to pull his hand out of his pocket, and brought out a sharp scalpel.

The scalpel pierced through his pocket, and cut a little blood from Yu Hao's hand, which stained 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 wish, you can treat it as it is. Alright, it's fine, teacher, I will keep this knife now. Don't think about it, just forget about it."

These days, the metaphors in Chen Yekai's words, the small expressions and movements, seemed to suddenly become clear with the actions of that night.

Holding the knife, Yu Hao signaled 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: "I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'm sleepy, good night."

Chen Yekai: "Good night."

Yu Hao couldn't see Chen Yekai's expression clearly in the darkness, but he knew that tonight must have completely changed Chen Yekai's entire life to a certain extent.

"Where did you go?"

Yu Hao walked across the playground with a heavy heart, and was startled by Zhou Sheng again, subconsciously put his hands behind his back.

Zhou Sheng drank a lot of wine and stood quietly under the basketball hoop.

"I'm asking you something." Zhou Sheng said with obvious impatience in his voice, "Speak!"

Yu Hao said, "I... went to buy you cigarettes."

"Buy cigarettes here?" Zhou Sheng obviously didn't believe it.

Yu Hao said, "I can't sleep, let's come out for a walk."

Zhou Sheng: "Where's the cigarette?"

Yu Hao took out a cigarette and handed it to him. Zhou Sheng said "Hey", staggered, took one in his mouth, and gestured for the lighter, and Yu Hao took out another lighter.

Zhou Sheng looked at Yu Hao sideways, with a half-smile, and said, "Light a cigarette, what are you doing standing there?"

"Drunk." Yu Hao said, "Let's go back first."

Zhou Sheng stood in front of Yu Hao, Yu Hao had no choice but to light his cigarette.

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 yelled hysterically: "Please explain to me clearly!"

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 anymore, he had to resist once anyway, and if he didn't scold Zhou Sheng, he would be suffocated.

"I really don't know!" Zhou Sheng was half sober, and said, "The first thought I saw when I saw blood was that you cut your pulse!"

Yu Hao: "I have something wrong, why should I cut my pulse!"

Zhou Sheng: "Haven't you always been like this?"

Yu Hao: "Where am I like this!"

Yu Hao took the pillow and whipped Zhou Sheng, Zhou Sheng couldn't help hiding, and finally Yu Hao threw the pillow angrily, knowing that Zhou Sheng was just giving in to him, after all, others can single out the other party'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, it's fine! Watch out for the bandages to come off!"

Yu Hao's palms were wrapped with bandages, he wanted to die, his phone was beeping, and there were a bunch of messages in the WeChat group QQ group, all the dormitories in the whole grade heard, Zhou Sheng was on the playground in the middle of the night Shouting Yu Hao's name out of control.

Fu Liqun called Yu Hao and asked, "Did you find someone?"

Yu Hao told Fu Liqun of his passing, only then did he realize that Zhou Sheng was drunk, first he went back to the dormitory, and when he found out that Yu Hao was not there, he went back to look for him.

"He called your name just now." Fu Liqun asked.

"It's me!" Zhou Sheng said.

Fu Liqun said: "Don't get drunk, go back to sleep quickly, where is he? Where is he? I'll come down to pick him up?"

"I took him out to open a room." Yu Hao said, signaling Zhou Sheng not to say more, Zhou Sheng nodded.

Fu Liqun said, "Okay, then I'm really asleep." Then he hung up the phone, Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng looked at each other in blank dismay.In the end, Zhou Sheng got up and packed the used iodine and bandages.Yu Hao said again: "Is there anyone who cuts the palm of the hand? Can you come and let me see?"

Zhou Sheng picked up the scalpel and looked at it, and said, "In the middle of the night, I can't see where you cut clearly!"

Yu Hao took the phone with his left hand and slid it away. As expected, it was all in @他: Zhou Sheng called your name downstairs.Bring people back quickly.Zhou Sheng is calling you, calling you.Explain clearly to me... Yu Hao roared in his heart: I heard it!You don't need to remind me!Then turn off the phone.

After Zhou Sheng cleaned up, put his ID card away, he 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 finger from under the quilt, and pointed at Yu Hao's bed.

"Sleep." Zhou Sheng's voice was a bit cold, as if he had regained his status as a general, "I'm sleepy, I said in my dream."

This was four months after the Shi Ni incident ended, and it was the first time that Yu Hao seriously entered the dream world again on his own initiative.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on a throne in the center of the dream palace, surrounded by military officers on both sides.Behind it is a huge screen, on which floating clouds and mountains appear, which is the Tianqing Mountain that was climbed during the day.

The interior of the palace is magnificently decorated with gold, red, and silver materials. The sliding doors with red lacquer carvings open automatically one by one, revealing the gilded carpets outside the palace layer by layer.Yu Hao lowered his head and found that his clothes were very unsuitable, not a royal robe but a black deacon's uniform.And Zhou Sheng was wearing a red and black dragon scale armor, carrying a shield on his back, and a three-inch long gold iron stick at his waist, and strode in.

"Congratulations, General!" The military officers on both sides knelt on one knee.

Yu Hao: "..."

"Yo, the decoration is quite beautiful." Zhou Sheng took out "Linear Algebra" from the bookshelf on one side of the palace, and flipped through it, "I still read it in my dream."

Yu Hao: "My NPC, why did I kneel down to you?"

Zhou Sheng: "Can't they worship me?"

Yu Hao: "Fart you."

Zhou Sheng: "Want to fight?"

Yu Hao: "You can beat me here?"

Zhou Sheng: "That's not sure, practice?"

When Zhou Sheng walked up to the throne, Yu Hao thought that Zhou Sheng's insanity was going to do something, so he put his left fist on his right chest, saluted Yu Hao, bowed slightly, made a "please" gesture, and said, "Little Fox, go out for a walk?"

"How am I like a fox!"

Only then did Yu Hao get up, followed Zhou Sheng out of the palace, and went to the rooftop.Compared with the last time, the capital city in the dream has undergone a little change. 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 an extra suspension bridge without warning. The suspension bridge leads to the clouds, which is exactly where Yu Hao walked during the day.

"Recall what happened." Zhou Sheng said to Yu Hao, "Imagine there is 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 perspective in the downstairs of the dormitory in the middle of the night.

"That's it." Yu Hao said.

Zhou Sheng was quiet for a long while, Yu Hao turned his head to look at him, and asked, "What should I do?"

"What can we 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 would 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 anything?" Yu Hao asked.

Zhou Sheng pondered for a moment, Yu Hao thought he was thinking, but Zhou Sheng said, "Look."

It was only then that Yu Hao realized that the space in front of Zhou Sheng had also opened up a screen, on which the scene in the hospital from Zhou Sheng's perspective was dancing.

In front of Zhou Sheng, Professor Lin Xun appeared with a ferocious face, listening to Zhou Sheng's words.

"When?" Yu Hao was with Zhou Sheng most of the time, he didn't remember that they met Lin Xun together.

"On the day when I handed in my bicycle to register for the competition." Zhou Sheng said, "I was guarding Mr. Liang in the hospital, and this guy just happened to come."

Yu Hao remembered, that day he found that Zhou Sheng's expression was a little bit wrong, so it was because of this?

"What's the matter? Zhou Sheng, tell me if you have any difficulties."

"That..." Zhou Sheng said in a sincere voice, "Why don't I sell you a sandbag cheaply? There are many in our boxing club, and it's not expensive to buy one. It's not good to use your wife as a sandbag every day to practice! Lin professor!"

"Why do you always find someone to quarrel with?" Yu Hao said helplessly.

Zhou Sheng said indifferently: "I just stabbed him a few times, asking him if he usually beats his wife at home."

Yu Hao: "..."
