"I found that you are quite arrogant." Lu Yiyun took out a cigarette from the glass cabinet and opened it, and dropped a box to the man's hand, "Every time I buy cigarettes, I run to the door of the house, and I don't avoid it at all."

Yuan Mu had his schoolbag hanging on his right shoulder, and his arms were propped on the counter, but his head was tilted back, and his reply was a little slow: "I avoided it before, but later I realized that I don't need to avoid it. No one cares about me."

Lu Yiyun bent her waist and looked along where his gaze was located: "Is there a moon?"

"Yes, it's quite low." It looks bright, but also heavy.It was supposed to be hanging far away, but now it's getting closer, and I can't help looking at it again and again, but I also feel anxious, fearing that it is a false moon, and even more afraid that it is really real and will fall from the sky.The life track that the people on the earth carved out long ago collapsed on it and fell down.

Yuan Mu lowered his eyelids, stretched out his legs and hooked the bamboo stool by the door to his legs, "Brother Yun, sit here with you for a while."

The street closes earlier on weekdays than on weekends. There are only sporadic lights and figures on the street after [-] o'clock in the evening, and it is deserted to quiet.The bamboo stool was low, and Yuan Mu stretched his legs against the glass cabinet, almost half-lying, staring at the sky.

The counter was closed, so Lu Yiyun was too lazy to go out and looked at Yuan Mu for a while.

He asked, "Tired of studying?"

After a while, Yuan Mucai said, "I'm not tired. The least tired thing is studying."

"Is that because of being tired by other things? So listless."

other things?Not much.tired?Nor is it.Yuan Mu was just feeling bored, thinking that tomorrow would have to be like today, and felt that he was about to grasp the true meaning of biological existence.To live is to pass the time non-stop and boring all the time.

Yuan Mu was in a daze to himself, Lu Yiyun stroked the stubble on his chin, and asked again: "Where is Qiu Yu? I haven't seen him come to my place for consumption for a few days."

Hearing the name, Yuan Mu moved, and kept rubbing the film on the cigarette case with his fingers, and replied, "The competition is over."

Lu Yiyun was surprised, and her voice almost hit the branches above her head: "He competes? What kind of competition?"

"Computer competition." Yuan Mu added, "Competition competition. The teacher led the team to Beijing."

"Yo, I can't tell, she's quite promising." Lu Yiyun asked, "When will you be back?"

"do not know."

It's been almost a week since Qiu Yu left. Speaking of which... it shouldn't be a few days, right?

"How about it, is Beijing fun?"

Yuan Mu looked back at him blankly: "How do I know?"

Lu Yiyun stood up straight, and understood: "Oh, no contact? Tsk, look at your situation, when you are in front of you—two good brothers, when you are not in front, you are just strangers."

Yuan Mu let go of his hand, and the cigarette case fell to the ground.I buried my head in picking it up, grabbed the schoolbag next to the stool and threw it on my back, ready to get up and go.The cigarette case was dropped on purpose, and he pretended to pick it up to avoid the trouble.But before he could take a step, Yuan Mu still opened his mouth to retort: ​​"No, who is his good brother."

In the corridor, Yuan Mu's legs and feet were soft, and he climbed more than a dozen steps without disturbing the voice-activated lights on the floors.Before, his whole body was lackluster, but now he is fine, and he finds it exhausting to beat his heart even more.Yuan Mu inserted the key and opened the door wearily, listening to Jun's words, he was indeed a little tired.

Fang Qiong and Yuan Cha didn't sleep, they were watching TV on the sofa.

"Don't get up so early tomorrow, I'll open the store." Fang Qiong watched Yuan Mu enter the door without saying a word, changing his shoes with a tired face, thinking of his hard work during this time, she felt uncomfortable.

Yuan Mu squatted down to arrange the shoes into the shoe cabinet, and it took him a few seconds to realize that Fang Qiong was talking to him.

"It's okay, there's not much to do in the store, you take good care of your body first." He entered the room after speaking.

Yuan Mu took off his coat and lay down on the bed with his eyes closed tightly, not feeling sleepy.Eyelids trembled slightly, and opened again.Turning over, there are mottled stains on the white wall.Eyes traced those black and yellow lines, like wandering through a nameless map without bounds.

Staring at the end of the map, holding the phone with a black screen for several days in his right hand, Yuan Muteng turned over and got up, and went to the living room to find a charging cable.

How about, why not just ask if the result of his competition has come out.

The sound of the door opening was like a howling wind, and Yuan Mu rushed out without warning, scaring Fang Qiong and Yuan Cha, who sat up straight and stared at him.

"elder brother......"

"Help me get the charger, I remember you borrowed it a few days ago." Yuan Mu said.

Yuan Cha immediately went to her bedroom and said, "Brother, do you want a universal charger or a cable charger?"

"Cable charger." Yuan Mu looked down at his phone and found that he was holding an unopened cigarette case in his other hand.When he left Lu Yiyun's grocery store, he began to make a choice: smoking?Or send a message to Qiu Yu?

There is only one thing to do tonight.Putting one in the trouser pocket, I decided to go all the way, but the road was too short, and I couldn't reach the result when I got home.

He looked up at Fang Qiong, and Fang Qiong looked at his hand.Yuan Mu lowered his head, folded his phone and cigarettes in one hand, took Yuan Cha's charging cable and went back to his room without saying a word.

It takes time to start after charging, Yuan Mu lay back on the bed, stared at the ceiling, and walked from the end to the starting point.

Following the start-up bell, there were several bursts of rapid vibrations.Yuan Mu rolled around twice and went sideways to the bedside table, picked up the phone and flipped through it leisurely.He hadn't come to a word yet, and the delay made him feel weirdly relieved.

There are indeed a few mobile company package marketing text messages, as well as a few missed call notification services that I forgot to unsubscribe.Therefore, the word "Qiu Yu" in the inbox appears concise and correct among the long numbers, and the dingy "4" behind the column of "Qiu Yu" also sets off the number surprisingly.

After clicking in, two MMS messages were accompanied by two sentences from him.

The first picture is night, dark blue, and the date is the second day after Qiu Yu left.Qiu Yu said: The station at 07:30 is very similar to the sea in the movie.

The second picture is still night, dim yellow mixed with snow white, dated on the fourth day after Qiu Yu left.Qiu Yu said: Yuan Mu, it's snowing here today.

Yuan Mu's body was limp in the bed, he felt that his heart was melting.

For a long time, the phone vibrated in his chest, causing numbness, Yuan Mu didn't notice it.He didn't let go of his blindfolded arm until the bell crescendoed.

Yuan Mu's mobile phone is actually rarely used to make and receive calls, so he is unfamiliar with ringtones and caller IDs. The word "Qiu Yu" was bright and dancing on the screen.The beating was strong, beating the heart that had turned into sugar water to regain consciousness.

Yuan Mu rubbed his eyes vigorously, and prayed briefly when he pressed the green button to connect.He was afraid that something might happen when he called so late.It would be better if Qiu Yu was losing his mind.

OK, blank for a second or two.

"Hello." Qiu Yu's voice came over, lazily and calmly, probably lying down.

Strange, it sounds like he doesn't have much strength either.

Yuan Mu opened his mouth and exhaled, but did not answer.

"Are you willing to turn it on?"

"Hello." Yuan Mu swallowed back the breath and said, "Yes, it was turned off before, and it has been out of power for the past few days, so I just turned it on today."

"That's what I guessed later," Qiu Yu said.

Yuan Mu corrected himself: "I just opened it. I was going to ask you how the game was going, but suddenly I saw you call me, which surprised me by coincidence."

"Coincidental?" Qiu Yu was more calm than him, "Unfortunately, I will call you at this time every day." He said with a smile, "But today I heard the beeping sound of the connection, and I seemed a little scared at first arrive."

"Call me? What are you doing?"

Qiu Yu said: "Record when you can remember to turn it on."

Yuan Mu was at a loss for words, fell silent for a while, and said, "Is it sick?" But he laughed with him.

Qiu Yu suddenly pointed at him: "Your voice sounds like you have a cold."

Yuan Mu lied: "A little bit." Asked him, "When will you come back?"

Before Qiu Yu could reply, there was a series of cheerful noises on the other end of the phone.The chaotic footsteps, the laughter of teenagers and girls, and some people didn't call Qiu Yu's name first, but said directly: "Get up, we packed a supper."

"Wait a minute." Qiu Yu said.

He didn't know who it was for, so Yuan Mu didn't say anything.

The door lock clicked, the noise disappeared, and Qiu Yu's voice became clear and empty: "Yuan Mu."

"Ok?"

"I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

"Oh—OK." Yuan Mu said, "You are now—"

"Toilet, sit on the toilet seat." Qiu Yu said, "They are too noisy."

Yuan Mu replaced the positive words: "It's lively. There is a time difference between Beijing and Chongqing."

Qiu Yu laughed and coughed, wanting to see Yuan Mu's expression when he said this.

Qiu Yu said: "That's because they went to visit the Great Wall of China and Peking University and Tsinghua University today, and they just came back."

"You didn't go?"

"No."

"Why don't you go, it's so boring to stay in the hotel. Are you tired from the game?"

"It will definitely be boring if you go there." Qiu Yu said with her head up, "I want to keep it and watch it with you."

In the second half of the night, it was as quiet as a dead city.Yuan Mu leaned against the window with a cigarette between his hands, and kept thinking about the moment when Qiu Yu called him by his name.Yuan Mu, Yuan Mu, Yuan Mu, Yuan Mu's bones were broken by him day by day.Today he called again—"Yuan Mu" to seduce him and make him say "yes" again.

Thinking for the hundredth time that Qiu Yu was on the leaving bus——

Let's go to Beijing together.

How did he think of it?

Simply genius.

The real moon is more beautiful in the tearful eyes, and the silvery water filled in the eye sockets spreads out.

Yuan Mu looked at it and thought tolerantly and gratefully, you can fall if you want.
