Although the holidays stipulated in the school calendar have not yet come, the exams of various colleges have basically come to an end, and the remaining work in the school has become very idle.At this time, "The End of the Desert" was released, Jian Mingche had already forgotten the lesson not long ago, and asked Jian Mingcheng to accompany him to the movie.

"You still dare to mention this to me?" He made an angry look, but Jian Mingche kept acting coquettishly: "I'm apologizing to you, bro—"

But Jian Mingcheng likes this kind of thing very much. Although he is not a few years younger, he has always doted on this younger sister.He felt that maybe it was because he was too tolerant that she was so lawless now.

"Desert's End" has a high production volume in all major theaters, with several popular leading actors supporting the facade, it is difficult to expect a high box office.The first game starts at 07:30 in the evening.Jian Mingcheng and Jian Mingche started grabbing tickets with their mobile phones after the movie was scheduled, but when they bought it, there were not many tickets left for the first show in the theater, and there were no two tickets with seats connected together.After the two discussed it, they decided to settle for the next best thing and watch the second show starting at [-]:[-] pm on the day of the premiere.

Modern people's pastimes are always lackluster, at least in Jian Mingcheng's view.

The job in the university is not as good as it looks to outsiders. Although Jian Mingcheng has a dormitory assigned by the school, if he really wants to gain a foothold in this city and buy a house of his own, he may continue to work for 30 years.When he was in graduate school, he bought an electric car from a senior who had just graduated. The senior was hired by a foreign trade company in China and was leaving Qingteng City, and the electric car was not easy to take away, so he simply became one. With the favor of the river, he sold it to Jian Mingcheng at a very low friendly price.Until now, he still only has this means of transportation, but for him, it is more than enough.

It may be a little shameful to say that he was born with a terrible sense of direction.When I first arrived, I often got lost even in the university campus, so I kept a floor plan of the campus in my mobile phone all year round.It is also necessary to turn on the mobile phone map before going out to prevent yourself from getting lost in this city.

There is a bus between Qingteng University and Qingteng Normal University, which can be reached in five stops, but after thinking about it, he still rode his well-maintained electric car.Although he is a person who cherishes his belongings very much, the electric bike was probably new when he bought it, and he has been riding it for five years, and it still looks like new, but when Jian Mingche saw him, he still couldn't help complaining about the two "Couldn't you just buy a better car to drive?" But then she realized that she was guilty of a crime and felt guilty, so she immediately shut up.

Jian Mingcheng ignored her, let her get into the car, and hugged his lower back tightly.He found that she was very proficient in doing this action, and he had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't ask.As she said at that time, she was already an adult, and Jian Mingcheng had no intention of being an old mother again, although from time to time, he still had to clean up the mess for this younger sister.

The seats for two people are in the middle and back, which is a pretty good position considering the distance and angle from the big screen.Usually when watching a movie, Jian Mingche would buy a bucket of popcorn before entering the theater, but she never did this when watching Gu Enzhong's movies.

Most of Gu Enzhong's previous acts were romance films that shocked the world, weeping ghosts and gods, and made female fans cry. Although it has long been reported that this is his transformational work, the theme of the film is serious, and there are almost no scenes of male and female love. But looking around, there are still many couples who can tell that they are in love at first glance to watch this film together.

After the title was played, the screen was plunged into darkness, only the vague monotonous stereotyped phone ringing came from the erratic, a man got up from a pile of waste paper and documents, and pressed the phone impatiently.Obviously, he has a bad temper and is unreasonable, or maybe he already knows who is calling and what he wants to say.

In the first scene of Gu Enzhong's appearance, Jian Mingche couldn't help but exclaim.Indeed, this is too far from his previous screen image. This man is unkempt and unshaven, and his eyes only reveal his disgust and alienation towards the world, or the people in this world.He is withdrawn and indifferent. He is obviously a cartoonist who creates dreams for others, but he himself does not believe that there are any dreams in this world.

One day, the cartoonist accidentally found a letter from a reader two years ago, and he wanted to go to the hometown of the reader's little girl to avoid the editor's urging for manuscripts day and night, because he didn't want to face himself directly. Find an excuse for the fact.So, he drove to the desert alone, but what he saw was not the imaginary picture of a girl living optimistically and strongly because of the beautiful world he described, but a reality that was crueler than reality.

Half an hour after the movie started, someone entered again, sitting in the aisle seat across from Jian Mingche.Jian Mingcheng was deeply worried about the fate of the character in the movie who had just shown a little sign, so he didn't notice this person, not to mention there was Jian Mingcheng between them.

But Jian Mingcheng frowned because of this, he was strict with himself, no matter what meeting or invitation, he would never allow himself to be late.So just seeing this kind of behavior of others will make you feel unhappy.But he didn't want to blame a stranger for it, so he just turned around and continued to watch the movie quietly.

The seat between him and this person was empty until the end of the movie. When the ending credits of the movie came up, everyone in the theater was still immersed in the despair conveyed by the movie. Jian Mingcheng, who is looking forward to watching this movie, is no exception.But at this time, that person quickly left his seat and fled the auditorium before the lights came on.

It is indeed "escape", Jian Mingcheng doesn't know why he thinks this way, but he just has this feeling.He laughed at himself, this kind of unreasonable judgment was as hypocritical as Jian Mingche's so-called intuition.

The cartoonist wants to escape the vicious circle of his own life, and draws childish love that even he doesn't believe in.People in the desert also live in this kind of vicious circle. While complaining and even hating their own lives, they tie others up in this lifeless place with incredible malice. Sadly, they never bothered to change that.And the abyss-like despair that the movie brings to people lies in the girl who once had a beautiful dream and eventually became a numb young bride at the end of the desert.

What kind of malice did the director have to make such a film that gave no hope at all?

Jian Mingcheng sat with Jian Mingche until the staff came in to clear the scene. What was completely different from before was that Jian Mingche didn't cry this time, but he still didn't say a word until he left the theater.

Jian Mingcheng let her heart turmoil, and drove her back to Qingteng Normal University by bicycle.There is a Bainiao Lake at the east gate of the Normal University, and a stone by the lake is engraved with the school's eight-character school motto, "Good morals carry things, keep fit and beautiful."Many tourists who come here to visit or students who return to their alma mater will inevitably take a commemorative photo here.It's just that Jian Mingcheng didn't expect that there would be such a person at this time.

It was already eleven o'clock when I came out of the movie theater, and it was close to midnight at this time.There are few vehicles on the avenue outside the school gate, and even fewer pedestrians.In this way, this group of tourists who are a little too excited seems a bit out of place.

The group asked Jian Mingcheng to help them take a group photo, and he readily agreed, but when he was about to pick up the camera, Jian Mingche beat him one step ahead.

"Let me do it."

The lights at the school gate illuminate the place like daytime, and there are some green street lights in the grass.The Bainiao Lake in the background gradually blurred in the distance, and finally became unrecognizable, leaving only a hazy piece.Suddenly, I don’t know what frightened the nocturnal birds in the thorn forest in the water. In an instant, a large piece of white floated melodiously across the water, fleeing from one thorn to another.

"All right!"

"Thank you. Girl, are you a student here?"

The enthusiasm of this group of people seemed to be too shy for Jian Mingche. She brushed her hair around her ear and said, "Yes, I am a sophomore."

"What major did you study?"

"Me? I..."

Seeing her embarrassedly coping with the questions of these strangers, Jian Mingcheng quietly walked away a few steps.There are two four-wheeled simple commuter school buses parked on the asphalt road under the street lamp, and the driver has disappeared.At this time, even the school bus has stopped working.

This kind of simple commuter car only moves around the campus, and it can carry no more than ten passengers. The body is covered with various advertisements for postgraduate entrance examinations and study abroad, but it has been painted and smeared to make it look bad.There is a coin box in front of the seat next to the driver's seat. Jian Mingcheng was curious about how this kind of coin box works. Wouldn't the banknotes get stuck in the coin slot?As a result of his exploration, he nearly bit his finger on the electric belt inside.Although it didn't hurt, he felt lingering fear for a long time after that.

Next to the coin box is a warning sign saying "If you find the driver taking cash, you will be rewarded 500 yuan for reporting by phone."The lower line has a reporting telephone number printed on it, but it is obscured by shadows and cannot be seen clearly.

Jian Mingcheng was about to take a closer look when someone patted his shoulder suddenly.After the excitement just now, Jian Mingche seemed to be in a much more relaxed mood.He straightened up, stroked her hair, and asked her, "how are you going back to the dormitory? Are you walking?"

Jian Mingche hesitated and nodded.

"I send you?"

"No—no need!" Before Jian Mingcheng finished speaking, she refused.Maybe she realized that she was a little too much, she lowered her head and explained: "It only takes about ten minutes to walk downstairs from here to the dormitory. You have never been here at night, and you have only come here during the day to carry luggage when school starts. You I don’t know the way, I’m afraid you won’t be able to find your way out later.” She raised her head and pretended to smile relaxedly, “I don’t have a school floor plan here.”
