born to ashes

Even for those who like stability, living an unchanging life will be tiring to some extent, but once you get out of this kind of life and put in it again, the step-by-step familiarity is the most primitive enthusiasm in your heart.Want to embrace the things that are repeated thousands of times every day.

This is the life of ordinary people.

The real ordinary people enjoy the ordinary, and they still enjoy the ordinary after the small turmoil that is necessary in life.Loneliness may be avoidable, but ordinary seems to have no room for avoidance, so accept it if it cannot be avoided, because this is never a derogatory term.

Wei Linze lay on the sofa he was familiar with, his bones softened, and he heard the sound of the stove fire in the kitchen, the children playing with cats downstairs gave out the soft laughter unique to children's voices, and there was a table upstairs. There was the sound of chairs rubbing against the floor, and there was a crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground in the corridor. Josh turned on the faucet and washed rice under the water flow. With his fingers inserted in the white and fat rice grains, he turned the water and bumped into the small aluminum basin. .

This old apartment building with poor sound insulation is really nice.

Knowing that someone is busy in the kitchen and will gently wake you up for dinner in a while is very reassuring.

Of course, most of the time, most of the assumptions people make before they close their eyes are delusions.

Wei Linze was finally brought to the table by Josh. The meal didn't have the warmth of a reunion after a long absence. Wei Linze just cared about the warmth with the dishes on the table, and Josh ate the rice vinegar with a displeased face.

The tribe turned on the ashesy mobile phone at home after it was fully charged. Wei Linze bit the tip of the chopsticks that had just picked up the rice, and stared at the mobile phone screen to send a message. Seeing that he was also distracted while eating, Josh tapped the table twice with his chopsticks, "Concentrate on eating, drink some soup after eating the bowl of rice, and I'll make you some hot milk later."

"I don't want to eat, I'll finish sending this message first." Wei Linze typed a few words, and said to Josh, "To discuss something, can we not drink milk?"

"What do you say?"

"I said..." Wei Linze muttered. He clicked on the file that was just transferred from his phone, quickly swipe to the back to take a look, then swipe to the beginning, read down word by word, and said while reading: "Drink milk to help sleep , I have to stay up late tonight, or I won’t drink.”

"Staying up late? Your mother's body is like this. If you don't take a rest quickly, you still stay up late? Let me tell you, there is no discussion, and you will go to sleep after eating later."

Wei Linze looked at the progress of the course sent by the substitute teacher. He had already reached the part of "The Songs of Chu", which was regarded as a normal progress. However, the school will hold a sports meeting next week, and it happened to be an ancient literature class, and the National Day was counted. In that section, the course was tense.At the beginning, Wei Linze arranged three class hours for the "Chu Ci" part, thinking that if the time is loose, he can do an extended class of Qu Yuan, but now it seems that the plan has to be changed.

"Class will start tomorrow, and I have to adjust the lesson plan today." Wei Linze drank the soup in the bowl while holding the bowl.

"Class? Just like you are now?" Josh snatched his phone away, "No! Honestly, stay at home for a few days."

Seeing Josh's angry look, Wei Linze suddenly smiled, "Objectively speaking, it's not impossible to rest at home, but subjectively, I really want to go back to school, it's a spiritual thought."

"There's nothing to do when I've been locked up these days. I'm going through the history of literature over and over again in my head. The more I think about it, the more I think about it. I can't wait to find a vent. So my subjective spirit has overcome my objective. physical condition." Wei Linze reasoned in a straight-forward manner, "This is the same reason why I want to eat the rice you cook."

Josh curled his lips and smiled, "Just thinking about the rice I made?"

"I also want hot and sour cabbage, and I also want sweet and sour pork."

"Apart from these, what else are you thinking about?" Josh tossed his phone up and down to play.

"Many, the teachers and students in the school, the breakfast stall downstairs, and the rampant army on the playground." Wei Linze said out of his mind.This is the same as a toothache. When you have a toothache, you can’t eat what you want to eat. Just go back and forth in your heart. It’s right to find a spiritual support, remember what you think of, and save it up. The toothache will not hurt. Sometimes it doesn't matter whether the stomach can stand it or not, and they want to get it back.At this time, even the memory is surprisingly good.

"What else?" Josh asked.

"And my bed, pillow, my toothbrush towel, and the phone on the sofa." Wei Linze pointed his chin with his index finger and added after a while, "By the way, there are..."

Josh quickly pricked up his ears to listen calmly.

"That black cat in the flower bed downstairs." Wei Linze said with a smile.

Josh slapped his phone on the table, without saying anything, he took the tableware one by one into the kitchen, turned on the faucet to the maximum, opened the lid of the dish soap and poured it into the sink.Heartless pots and pans! Josh thought.He was lying in the hospital with a broken rib, and he couldn't think about anything except Wei Linze. He was lucky, he was thinking about food, his phone, school, even the stray cat downstairs, he just didn't think about what he should think about .

Water droplets mixed with foam splashed out, and Josh washed the dishes while thinking about buying a dishwasher when he had time.

Wei Linze leaned half of his body at the kitchen door, and asked, "Do you want me to wash it for you?"

"Hmph." Josh let out a disdainful sound from his nose, turned around and shook the water off his hands in his face.

Wei Linze took off his splashed glasses and walked in. Josh stretched out his arms to block him from the door, "Don't come in, I'm going to mop the floor."

"Come here, let me tell you something secretly." Wei Linze stood outside the kitchen and knocked on the door.

Josh waved the mop around the kitchen, "That's it, I'm listening."

"Then I said it." He cleared his throat, "I didn't have the nerve to say it just now, but in fact, you are the one who thinks about me the most."

Is there anything wrong with him.

These few words were what Wei Linze chanted the most in the white room.The feeling of regret is actually very strange. The more you regret it, the more the past will be in your mind. alright.

What Wei Linze regretted the most during the process was why he didn't jump over to protect Josh at that time, but let him turn the steering wheel and gave him a chance to meet the car by himself.

Because I can't do anything, I think about him even more uncontrollably.Thinking about whether he was seriously injured, whether he was uncomfortable in the hospital, or just simply thinking about him, I already tossed and turned.

To recall the history of literature is mandatory, not subjective.Subjectively, it is clear that he thinks about... him all the time.

Josh held back his smile, and inadvertently bent the corners of his mouth.

"Hey," he threw the mop aside and opened his arms, "let's have a long-lost hug."

Wei Linze's eyes were crooked, showing two rows of teeth. He walked over and hugged Josh gently.

"It's over," Josh tightened his arms, "I'm done."

"I'm afraid... I fell in love with you completely, Teacher Wei." Josh said.

Wei Linze patted the back of his head, smiled and said "hmm".

"Who isn't?"

He said.

"Both Qu Yuan and Song Yu are important writers of the Songs of Chu. The most notable features are criticism and exposure. But in terms of realm, "Nine Debates" lacks Qu Yuan's passionate emotions and the spirit of pursuing ideals without regret. It is worthy One thing we noticed is that in the poems, there are two writers' self-proclaimed chants. For example, Pizhi Peilan in "Li Sao", and the self-proclaimed beauty of men at that time..."

Wei Linze supported the podium with his hands, and glanced at the unfamiliar freshmen in the classroom, "Most of our current culture associates words like 'beauty' and 'mask' with women automatically, but from the pre-Qin period until the During the Han, Tang and Five Dynasties, these were common among men. Who remembers mentioning it in "The Song of the Yue People"?"

After hearing the question, the students below started to ask left and right. There was a small discussion below, but no one got up to answer the question.

"According to modern people's thinking, the singing of "The Song of the Yue People" is mostly classified as a woman, but according to the ancient customs I just mentioned, plus many textual conjectures, most of us think that the protagonist is actually a man." Wei Linze Can only answer my own question.

The girl who was sitting in the first row facing him leaned over and whispered to the person next to him, "When did you say this! I can't forget such an exciting content. It turns out that the ancients have such a strong taste..."

"How many lessons have you come to the ancient literature class? I guess you skipped the class. Besides, the short teacher who took the substitute class taught that class, and he didn't mention it much."

Wei Linze turned a page of the PPT, cleared his throat, and continued.

When he turned around to write on the blackboard, the screen of his mobile phone quietly lit up, the icon of the text message flickered a few times, and then went dark for a few seconds.

At this time, Josh was proudly sitting at home with Erlang legs up, drinking milk, and talking with Zheng Fei on the phone.

"You know, I couldn't go anywhere a while ago, no matter how much I thought about Wei Wei, I had to save Wei Wei first, and now I finally saw him, and then I went back to the hospital? My brain is not broken. This is called spiritual support, you know I am illiterate." Josh told Zheng Fei what he had just heard from Wei Linze, and he was very proud.

Zheng Fei muttered on the other end of the phone: "You have been hurt for a hundred days. I agreed with you to leave the hospital temporarily because you didn't have enough time. If you don't go back to the hospital and lie down, you dare to kick your nose in the face!"

"I can do it at home..." Before Josh finished speaking, his phone vibrated. He moved the phone away from his ear, glanced at the screen, and then yelled at Zheng Fei, "Zheng Ying, call me, hang up ah."

"you……"

Before Zheng Fei could speak, Josh quickly picked up Zheng Ying's call, and a mechanical female voice came from the receiver, "The other party is on a call, please don't hang up." Zheng Fei cursed and pressed to hang up.

"Hey little Zheng'er." Josh was very satisfied with Zheng Ying's rescue, and his tone of voice was full of joy.

"Josh."

The voice on the other side of the phone was deep, Josh frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Lu Chen." The other end of the phone said, "Let's meet."

Qin Ruxu's ability to act is astonishing. No one knows how much preparation he has made over the years and how many people he has placed in various forces. Once the gap on Brother Cheng's side is opened, the main force of the GM plan will quickly be defeated.Brother Cheng was decisive enough to immediately make a decision to give up his influence in the GM plan and get out in time.

30 years later, GM has been divided for a long time. The older generation connects the families of all parties not only with interests, but also with many unreasonable and chaotic things. It is because of this that they can achieve the same pursuit. But now the young heirs who are tied together by pure interests have long since left their hearts.

Wen Yu was forcibly recalled to Italy by Wen Ting, Wei Wenqu temporarily defected to Qin Ruxu's faction, leaving only Zhou Budu still supporting Zhang Zhihe.

It's not surprising that Lu Chen brought Cheng Jiezhi back to Pearl City at this time.

When Josh arrived at Zheng's house, Lu Chen and Zheng Ying were waiting there, but they didn't see Cheng Jiezhi.

"Zhang Zhihe is in my hands." Lu Chen spoke first.

Josh didn't understand what he meant, and waited for him to continue.

Zheng Ying explained to him: "After I sent you away that day, Lu Chen's men took Zhang Zhihe away."

"I don't want to get involved in these things. Rescuing Wei Linze will complete my mission. I don't care what you do with the rest." Josh said with a frown.

"No, I want to ask you to help solve it." Lu Chen said.

Josh laughed, "Tell me."

"When you left Haicheng, Xiezhi's condition was out of control, you should know." Josh nodded, and Lu Chen continued: "This time I will transfer someone to help you, in fact, it's just by the way. The purpose is to find Zhang Zhihe, only he can cure his illness."

"Zhang Zhihe?"

"In fact, strictly speaking, the GM project back then only succeeded in one case, GM-01, and the genetic code of GM-02 also had a big defect, but this defect appeared in the later stage," Lu Chen habitually touched Nose, "The people created by GM have the same genome, so Wei Linze can save them."

"what do you mean?"

Lu Chen looked at Josh and nodded.

"What about the solution? What did he say?" Josh raised his chin, "I think I need to meet him."

"He's still in Haicheng." Lu Chen said in a deep voice, "I'm worried about letting Zhang Zhihe get in touch with him."

Josh sneered and said, "Ridiculous."

"You don't worry." He said with a sneer, "You don't worry about handing Xiezhi to Zhang Zhihe, and I worry about Wei Linze? ​​None of us understands medical matters. Zhang Zhihe did his research for him. What can't be done? If he takes the opportunity to play tricks to control Wei Linze, then I won't have a place to cry. Sure enough, I'm really not suitable for contacting people like you, I'm not from the same planet at all. "

"Josh..." Zheng Ying wanted to speak.

"Furthermore!" Josh raised his voice and interrupted Zheng Ying, "Besides, I have no right to interfere with Wei Linze, so it's useless for me to do this."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked out the door.

Zheng Ying hurried to stop him, "Isn't it because you are Xie Zhi's friend that we asked you to help persuade Wei Linze? ​​We worked so hard to save him from Wen Yu, and now we finally have such a frontline Vitality is just extracting Wei Linze's stem cells, nothing will happen."

"If Zhang Zhihe wants to use my stem cells to save Cheng Jiezhi... don't talk about cells, I will not disagree with picking an organ, but I can't be someone else's master, no matter how close I am to Wei Linze, I will I have no position to ask him for help." Josh patted Zheng Ying on the shoulder, "Because I feel sorry for Wei Linze, it is impossible to tell him this."

He turned to Lu Chen again and said, "Zheng Ying and I have done no less for Cheng Jiezhi than you, and I am genuinely worried about him, but this does not mean that my life, that of Wei Linze's, is not precious. We treasure it ourselves." .”

To Wei Linze, the three words Cheng Jiezhi are just three words, he is a complete stranger, and he has no reason to hand over his life to a man who has tortured him for several weeks for the sake of a stranger. In the hands of Dr. Pervert.There is no such reason in this world.

It's true that Josh and Cheng Jiezhi are friends, and it's true that they went through fire and water for him before. Josh can be sure that as long as he speaks, according to Wei Linze's temper, he will definitely agree.But there is no such reason in this world that people can hand over their lover's life to save a friend's life?A normal person would not engage in such a deal that is equivalent to exchanging a life for a life.

He said before that he risked his life to get Cheng Jiezhi back, not to let him die in the country.He was no less reluctant to part with Cheng Jiezhi than Lu Chen.

But he was also sure that he would never open that mouth with Wei Linze.
