Tiandi Baiju

On the last night of that year, according to their original plan, they went to Jingci Temple to listen to the bells for the New Year's Eve.

Nanping Evening Bell and Leifeng Pagoda were crowded with people, and a large number of police officers were dispatched to maintain law and order in the city. In order not to disperse, Du Jing held Zhou Luoyang's hand.

"Who did you spend New Year's Eve with last year?" Du Jing moved with the crowd, looking back at Zhou Luoyang from time to time.

Zhou Luoyang replied, "Huizhou, with my girlfriend."

"Are you still together now?" Du Jing asked.

Zhou Luoyang explained: "We broke up at the beginning of spring. She went to study abroad. I wanted to stay in a hotel that night, but the hotel was full, so I had to send her home. How about you?"

Zhou Luoyang's ancestral home was in Wan City, and later he lived in Huizhou for a long time due to a chance meeting, and then came to Jiangnan again because of his father's business, and has been trained as a southerner.

Du Jing said, "I'm alone, in Times Square."

Zhou Luoyang had talked several times in high school, but without exception, nothing happened. When he liked it, he liked it very much, and he adapted quickly after breaking up.

"At this time next year, maybe someone else will come with you." Du Jing went to line up to buy hot coffee, and waited to ring the bell with Zhou Luoyang. The surroundings were full of couples, and there were also many single young people who came out together.For some reason, girls and girls get together, and the scenes are always fun and natural.

The combination of boys and boys coming out for the New Year's Eve has a bitter hatred of a single dog.

Zhou Luoyang said seriously: "No, if you don't mind being a light bulb, I'll call you wherever I go. And if it's hard to say, should I be a light bulb?"

He really likes Du Jing, not just talking about it, Zhou Luoyang has a habit of feeling uncomfortable when no one asks him to take care of him, always wondering if there should be someone behind him.From this point of view, he feels that he has a certain chauvinistic thinking.

Du Jing replied: "The doctor doesn't advise me to fall in love. Falling in love will create pressure, aggravate the condition, and harm others and myself."

"But you really fell in love, there's nothing you can do about it, right?" Zhou Luoyang said.

Du Jingting nodded. The hot coffee was gone, and he only bought one cup. Du Jing handed it to Zhou Luoyang to warm his hands.Zhou Luoyang handed it to him, and Du Jing took a drink from his hand.

"We can only rely on reason, control ourselves, and stay away as much as possible." Du Jing said.

They found a place with a good view and sat down away from the noisy crowd. Jingci Temple, Leifeng Pagoda and all the lights on the shore of West Lake were brightly lit, reflecting the bustling and bustling Hangzhou in the cold night.

"Have you always wanted to ask, how did I get the injury on my face?"

Zhou Luoyang was still in a trance. He felt that Du Jing was different tonight.

"Actually, he's really handsome," Zhou Luoyang said, "I'm not complimenting you, I really think it looks good in my aesthetic. Is it because of fighting?"

Du Jing shook his head and said, "No, the reason is not cool at all. I have been suffering from this disease for a long time since I was diagnosed at the age of six. crying, and sometimes wanting to die for no reason."

"When I was 17 years old, in high school class, many classmates were in love, but the doctor strongly advised me not to talk about it, control myself, try not to like anyone, and talk about it after puberty."

"I don't know why, but one day when I saw the couples in school, I thought that I would have to suffer like this for many years. I decided to end all of this..."

Zhou Luoyang did not interrupt Du Jing's narration, but looked up at the sky, where the stars were shining.

"...So I drove the car on the evening of my birthday to a cliff on the mountain." Du Jing murmured, "I told myself that if I kick the accelerator and fly to the cliff 20 meters away, This is God's will, I will continue to live."

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

"If people and cars fall into a deep valley together, I will be completely relieved."

Even though Du Jing was sitting next to Zhou Luoyang right now, he couldn't help but sweat while listening to the narration.

"Later you left this scar." Zhou Luoyang said.

Du Jing said: "Yes, the moment I flew out, I felt very strange, as if there was a soul... a real, imaginary lover's soul, leaning on my chest, close to my heart. And falling After going down the deep valley, people passing by found me, called 911, and sent me to the hospital. When I was in a coma, they kept calling my name. When I woke up, I had more than 70 stitches in the hospital. I lay down for three months. But because I was young, my body recovered very quickly."

Zhou Luoyang thought to himself that it was a miracle that he didn't break his spine and be paraplegic at a high position. He didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be if Du Jing was paralyzed. That was the real hope of survival and death.

"Although it's wrong to say that..." Zhou Luoyang thought for a long time, and he began to wonder if Du Jing had misled his views, but at this moment, he decided to tell the truth.

"But you are really cool," Zhou Luoyang said, "cooler than I imagined."

Like a shooting star, flying across the sky under the dim sky, using this method as the curtain call of life is a plot that only appears in movies.

Zhou Luoyang has been thinking about Du Jing, his illness, and his Weibo trumpet for a while.At first, he felt that that unknown Weibo account was just a place where Du Jing talked to himself, kept a diary, and vented his emotions.But is this really the case?

Later, he gradually thought that this was Du Jing's request for help.After all, it is a purely private idea, he can completely see all the content to himself, and no one will see it.Posting it means that he still hopes, or fantasizes, that someone will see it, hoping that someone will give him a hand.

It's just that Du Jing himself didn't realize what he really thought in his heart.

"You have to promise me formally," Zhou Luoyang said, "you can't do this kind of thing alone, because we are already friends."

Du Jing: "OK."

Zhou Luoyang explained: "I don't want you to force yourself to live with a smile on your face. If there comes a day when your condition is so serious that it is irreparable, and even living is painful, I will not force you to stay. I will respect your choice. "

Du Jing didn't answer.

Zhou Luoyang said: "At least, we have to have a serious and polite farewell."

Holding the coffee cup in his left hand, Du Jing raised his gloved right hand. Zhou Luoyang understood and raised his left hand. The two sat side by side and gave each other high fives.

He knew that Du Jing had agreed to him.

The countdown was over and the new year was coming, and instead of cheering with the crowd, they all stood up.

Zhou Luoyang opened his arms towards Du Jing and said, "Happy New Year, I'm one year older. Come and give me a hug?"

Du Jing hugged Zhou Luoyang, and in the cold wind, the two embraced.

After they returned to the dormitory that night, Du Jing still didn't say much.But because of the series of things that happened that day, they really crossed the obstacle they had been facing all along, and the atmosphere in the dormitory became different. It was no longer as polite and friendly as before, and seemed natural and relaxed.

Zhou Luoyang felt a long-lost, familiar yet peculiar atmosphere, the aura called "home".

The small Christmas tree bought by Du Jing was lit with colorful lights, reflecting the little tortoise sleeping in the incubator.

"You can push your beds over and put them together." Zhou Luoyang suggested.

Du Jingxie didn't take off his clothes or change his shoes. He lay on the bed and looked at his mobile phone when he came in. Hearing this, he glanced at Zhou Luoyang, got up silently after a while, bowed and pushed the single bed over, and leaned against Zhou Luoyang's bed side.

"Hehe—" Zhou Luoyang said, "The bed has become bigger, so it's more comfortable to sleep on!"

Although he doesn't know whether the cure for Du Jing's insomnia is to "sleep on the same bed" or "sleep on the same mattress" with others, it's not surprising that they are arranged like this in the boys' dormitory.Occasionally, he would see graduate students in other dormitories put their beds together in the Tingpu Building. Firstly, the utilization rate of the dormitory space became higher, and the aisles were more spacious, so that some home appliances could be placed; secondly, the beds were also bigger.

Most graduate students are in a relationship and are used to going out to rent a room. Those who stay in bed like to operate like this. Occasionally, when someone who sleeps out comes back, the two of them will sleep on the bed together like a bunk.

Zhou Luoyang unconsciously occupied most of the bed that night, but Du Jing was very careful not to disturb Zhou Luoyang, and consciously slept next to the bed, but when he woke up on the first day of the new year, Zhou Luoyang had already fallen asleep unconsciously , and hugged Du Jing from behind.

Just like this night on the high-speed train from Wanshi to Hangzhou, Du Jing hugged Zhou Luoyang tightly from behind.

He still remembers that it was still snowing in Hangzhou on the first day of the new year. The moment he woke up, he immediately woke up Du Jing, washed up quickly, grabbed his camera and ran outside to take pictures of the snow scene of West Lake.

"Get up and exchange tickets!"

As soon as the door opened, the flight attendant looked at Zhou Luoyang and Du Jing who were squeezed into the lower berth, and his first reaction was to look up at the upper berth to check if there were more people.Zhou Luoyang turned over and pushed Du Jing out of the shop. Du Jing was in a hurry and knocked down the trash can. When he got up, he knocked his head on the small table again.

Three people: "..."

Zhou Luoyang took out the card from the pocket of Du Jing's suit hanging on the wall, and handed it to the flight attendant.As if for a split second, the two heard the inner monologue of the flight attendant when he left, "It's gay again, why are there so many gays these days".

The two were sleepy, Du Jing was sitting on the sofa, and he was still awake, Lisa Ono's "When Will You Come Again" was played on the high-speed rail, the sky was bright, the train had just arrived at the station, and the whole city of Hangzhou was still awake.

"After we leave tonight, when will Jun come again..." After Zhou Luoyang finished washing, he lowered his head slightly to check Du Jing's trousers. Fortunately, nothing happened as he imagined.

"What's next?"

Du Jing: "Eat, fill your stomach, and do errands, you shouldn't be in a hurry to go back to Wanshi."

Zhou Luoyang began to reply to Le Yao's message from last night, looked at the photos he sent, and replied, "There's no rush, I'm just afraid that Le Yao suddenly needs to send something."

Du Jing: "Let my assistant go if I have something to do. I asked him to deliver the things to your house yesterday."

"He doesn't have a key," Zhou Luoyang said, "How do I deliver it? Do you leave it at the door?"

Du Jing: "My subordinate wants to enter a private house, but still need a key? You underestimate Boss Du too much."

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

"I also asked him to clean your house by the way." Du Jing said again.

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

Du Jing called a car, located it, and took them to the in77 commercial plaza, during which time he sent a few messages.After a mobile service provider opened for business, the supervisor came out to receive them, took them to the office, took out a phone card, and installed a card for Du Jing. Du Jing replaced Wu Xingping's mobile phone with a Hangzhou local card.

When he arrived at the western restaurant of Dexin Hotel and started to eat breakfast, Du Jing registered a new WeChat.

"Wait for a while," Du Jing said to Zhou Luoyang without raising his head while fiddling with his mobile phone, "After finishing what is at hand, let's go shopping."

Zhou Luoyang: "I've been shopping for so many years, what else is there to do? Check your case, don't worry about me, work hard, and after you get your salary, you can invest in my store. It's still 530 less. "

Zhou Luoyang obviously already counted Du Jingliu's net worth of 10,000+ in advance.

"So I'm wholly owned?" Du Jing said, "That's a good idea."

Zhou Luoyang: "Then can you save a little? The breakfast in Xinxin Hotel costs 260 per person."

Du Jing said, "It can be reimbursed."

Zhou Luoyang: "The family members cannot be reimbursed, you said it yourself."

Du Jing: "Pretend that it's my assistant's food. The company won't check in such detail. Only real-name consumption such as train tickets can't be reported. Eat more, you'll be thinner than before."

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

Du Jing: "Don't want to go back to school?"

With Du Jing's reminder, Zhou Luoyang wanted to go back. After graduation, this was the first time he had returned to Hangzhou.

Du Jing added those two numbers with the new WeChat, compared them, sent a number "1" to test the other party, and started calling with his mobile phone, looking around to see if there were any suspicious people.

In the breakfast room, there was only a large area, only him and Zhou Luoyang.

"I need a substitute," Du Jingchao said on the phone, "Please contact the branch here for me."

Zhou Luoyang looked at Du Jing suspiciously, and Du Jing couldn't help but stuff another bluetooth headset into his ear.Meaning aren't you curious?Just let you listen.

A female voice over there said, "Excuse me, what kind of substitute is it?"

"Male, about 22 to 1.7 years old, [-] meters eight," Du Jing said, "Northeast Asian race."

"Okay, the location of the mobile phone will be sent to your work WeChat later," said the other side. "The specific details are up to you to discuss with the other party."

"Thank you for your help." Du Jing said expressionlessly, then hung up the phone and started eating the food that Zhou Luoyang brought him. It happened that at this time, he replied on WeChat.

【Where are you? 】

Du Jing replied: [Who are you? ] I will ignore it.

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Luoyang said, "You're cosplaying Wu Xingping, right?"

"Yeah." Du Jing confirmed Zhou Luoyang's guess. Wu Xingping fled, but the matter was not over yet. After the boss fell to his death, the only person who knew was Wu Xingping.As an informant, he must find Wu Xingping as soon as possible, confirm his safety, or silence him, so as not to be implicated in more troubles.

After all, the extortion industry chain behind this, as well as a series of relationship networks and clues, are a fat job for the anti-crime department this year. If such a huge organization colluding with internal and external lines is removed, the year-end performance will definitely not be less. Can evaluate an advanced organization or individual.

So Du Jing recorded the contact information, assuming that he was Wu Xingping who fled, abandoned the original WeChat, and got a new card to add the other party. This reaction was very reasonable.

"But if you add the other party, how does the other party know that this strange WeChat is the person they are looking for?"

Du Jing said: "Because the other party also used an empty WeChat account, they only sent an invitation to Wu Xingping before, and there is no case of being added by mistake."

Zhou Luoyang: "So sure?"

Du Jing had an expression of "Isn't this an obvious thing to do?"Zhou Luoyang had no choice but to nod, and asked again: "Are you going to meet them in Hangzhou? But we have already let Wu... let him go."

"It was you who let him go," Du Jing said, "not 'we'. When you were in the car, you said 'let him go', and you forgot when you woke up?"

Zhou Luoyang said: "I just let him go back to sleep next door."

Du Jing didn't answer, but looked at Zhou Luoyang's expression, as if he was thinking about some prank.

Zhou Luoyang said: "Then what should we do now? You will find out when the other party sees you. Who would come out to meet someone without knowing what the target looks like? That would be too stupid."

Du Jing said: "In this case, you can only pretend to be the one, and you have to tie the bell to untie it."

Zhou Luoyang remembered Du Jing's phone call, saying "need a substitute", and suddenly realized.

"You're teasing me again." Zhou Luoyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Next you want to go fishing in Hangzhou?"

Du Jing: "Fishing is not allowed in the West Lake."

Zhou Luoyang originally wanted to ask Du Jing why he chose to stay in Hangzhou to catch the mastermind behind it.But Du Jing always went around the corner and played tricks with him in a serious manner, which made him really dumbfounded.

"The company has recently advocated working outdoors. The air is fresh and good for health." Du Jing stopped teasing him and said, "Hangzhou is a suitable place. They are in Wan City. They will be very vigilant, which is not conducive to doing business."

A location was sent on the mobile phone, Du Jing glanced at it and said, "Xinxin Hotel will not be monitored, it may not be necessary to go out, pay attention to safety."

Zhou Luoyang didn't ask why, but nodded tactfully.

They arrived at Hangzhou Silk City under the guidance of the positioning, and he was dazzled by the stalls. Du Jing was always paying attention to whether the two were being followed. Facts proved that this was superfluous, and no one would have thought that they would come to Hangzhou overnight.

Du Jing entered a shop selling silk garments and tapped on the counter. The boss and his wife, an old couple in their sixties, looked at them at the same time.

"The last time I bought it here, do you still have the black bottom embroidered with gold thread?" Du Jing said.

"Yes," said the proprietress, "there are still many in the warehouse, take a look inside."

The lady proprietress opened the door leading to the back of the store, and there was another door in front of her. She passed through a large number of piled and hung tops, most of which were middle-aged and elderly styles. Yuan one.

Zhou Luoyang studied for several years after studying in the botanical garden, but he had never been to Silk City, as if he had seen another Hangzhou.

Enter another door, and there is a relatively spacious room inside. A young boy in his early twenties is sitting on several suitcases and playing mobile games. When he sees them, he nods and says, "Let me take a look at the photos. when?"

"Tomorrow evening." Du Jing said, and found a few photos of Wu Xingping from his phone. The boy took several photos with his phone and put the phone aside.

"Where?" the boy put on his gloves and said again, "Mom, give them some water."

The old lady went to fetch water, and Du Jing said, "I haven't thought about it." Then he asked Zhou Luoyang, "Where do you want to go tomorrow?"

"Uh," Zhou Luoyang wanted to ask me what I was doing?Is it possible that they are still arranged in their alma mater?After thinking about it, he casually said, "Leifeng Pagoda?"

"Understood." The boy was familiar with the road, facing Wu Xingping's photo, and began to put on makeup.

I saw that he first took out the latex mask, put it on his face, smoothed the edges bit by bit, then opened a box, put the soft clay inside on his face, looked at the photo, and pinched out the bridge of the nose and chin. Outline.

Zhou Luoyang: "!!!"

Zhou Luoyang was completely shocked, but Du Jing was used to it, and sat aside. There was only one chair here.

"My mother is old and has bad ears," said the boy, "Go out and get the chairs yourself."

"No need." Du Jing patted his thigh, and Zhou Luoyang sat on his lap. Du Jing wrapped his left hand around Zhou Luoyang's waist, freeing his right hand, and used "Wu Xingping"'s newly registered WeChat account to blackmail anyone who came to him. send a message.

"You two as a couple?" the boy who was putting on makeup looked at them in the mirror and said.

Zhou Luoyang replied, "Yes."

Du Jing replied: "No."

Boy: "..."

Du Jing said: "He is my assistant, and he wants to rely on his beauty to get ahead."

Zhou Luoyang: "I actually lick dogs."

The boy laughed and continued to put on makeup.Zhou Luoyang started to watch Du Jing's messages, and the blackmailer made a voice call, but Du Jing hung up.

【Not convenient now. ] Du Jing replied.

【Where did you hide? 】The other party obviously wanted to know what happened in the murder case.

Du Jing: [Hangzhou. 】

[Are there other people besides the three of you that night? 】

Du Jing hesitated for a moment, thought for a while, and replied: [I need money, and now I have no money and can't go anywhere.Tiaozi was looking for me everywhere, but was taken away, and I had no choice but to die! 】

The other side replied: [Wait for me in Hangzhou, we will send someone there. 】

Seeing Zhou Luoyang watching all the time, Du Jing handed him the phone and raised his eyebrows, meaning you want to play?I want to play for you.

Zhou Luoyang waved his hands, for fear of saying the wrong thing and arousing the vigilance of the other party.

【Send someone to kill me? 】Du Jing replied again, with a more serious tone,【At worst, if you fight to the death, no one will live! 】

There was another voice call over there, Du Jing hung up again, and left him to dry, the boy quickly put on his disguise, turned around and said, "How is it?"

Zhou Luoyang was taken aback when he looked up, thinking he saw Wu Xingping again, "Wu Xingping" had modeling clay on both hands, looked at the two, and picked up his phone so that they could compare themselves with the person in the photo.

Zhou Luoyang thought that Du Jing was going to get up to express his opinion, but just as he was about to get up, Du Jing's arms tightened a little, telling him to sit on his body without moving. a little."

"The neck lines haven't been wiped yet." The boy said, "What else?"

"Put your eyebrows up, it's almost the same." Du Jing thought for a moment, and added another person using "Wu Xingping"'s new WeChat, "Borrow some paper."

The boy went to find the paper. Du Jing used Zhou Luoyang's back as a pad, wrote a few lines with his left hand, handed it to him, and said, "Put it in a few places, and I will send you the location later."

The boy took it, and Du Jing said, "Let's go."

In the afternoon, Du Jing put away his mobile phone, returned to his alma mater with Zhou Luoyang, and took a stroll around. The professor's cafeteria, dormitory building, and lakeside were still the same as before. Time was frozen here, and so were memories.Even though people came and went, old people went and new people came, but the moment Zhou Luoyang stepped into the campus, it seemed that Zhou Luoyang had returned to his life a few years ago.

"Do you remember the time travel that day?" Du Jing asked suddenly.

Zhou Luoyang had already regarded it as a hallucination, and he was a little at a loss when he was asked like this.

"If both of us can keep our memories and go back to the past," Du Jing said again, "Which day do you want to go back to?"

Zhou Luoyang said: "I don't want to go back, this is fine now."

But Zhou Luoyang suddenly remembered that if he could change the past, he had to at least prevent Le Yao's car accident from happening.

"Let's go back to the day we met." Zhou Luoyang changed his tune again, "What about you?"

Du Jing didn't answer. After having lunch in the cafeteria, they stood downstairs in the former dormitory and looked up.

"The calf doesn't know whether it's alive or dead," Du Jing said.

"The life of a tortoise is very tenacious, and it will not die so easily."

When Zhou Luoyang graduated, he gave it to a junior sister, and he believed that the junior sister would take good care of it.

The two of them sat on a bench downstairs in the dormitory, and Zhou Luoyang took out his phone to message Le Yao.

The autumn sun was warm but not dazzling. Du Jing simply lay down, pillowed on Zhou Luoyang's lap, with one foot hanging by the side of the bench, and stepped on the grass. The two of them basked in the sun aimlessly, just like before. .

Du Jing fell asleep again. He always slept comfortably when Zhou Luoyang was by his side.

Zhou Luoyang sometimes felt that the two of them really looked like a gay couple.
