Abandoned cat effect

A rain poured over the entire city, pattering and pattering for two hours, and the flight was forced to be delayed for two hours.

After the rain stopped, the passengers boarded the plane in this way. Zhou Pei walked absent-mindedly behind the queue. He came to his seat and sat down slowly.

He looked out the window in a daze, and he didn't notice when someone sat down beside him.

Until the person next to him lightly patted him on the shoulder, Zhou Pei was taken aback for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he turned his head to look and saw Xu Yan smiling at him, "It's about to take off, fasten the safety buckle."

Zhou Pei frowned, and while pulling up the safety ropes on both sides, he asked aloud, "Why are you here?"

With his back pressed against the back of the chair, Xu said innocently, "I don't know either, it's probably a coincidence."

When he said this, the expression on his face was exactly the same as it was five years ago, and he took it for granted.

Zhou Pei didn't think it was a coincidence, but five years later, the original sorrow and resentment seemed to have turned into a wisp of smoke at this moment, invisible and intangible, he thought, Xu Yan said that the coincidence was a coincidence, and he didn't bother to go pondering.

She just nodded to him, and parted her mouth, "That's really a coincidence."

Xu Yan sat next to Zhou Pei. Since he got on the plane and said a few words with Zhou Pei, after the plane took off, he took out the blindfold and earphones, curled up in the chair, and seemed to be asleep.

This plane is not a large passenger plane, and the distance between the seats should be a little closer. Zhou Pei can feel the breath of the people around him when he sits like this. Occasionally, when he looks sideways, he can see the black eyepatch pressing on the bridge of his nose. , the skin color seems to be lighter than when I was in school, the lips are pursed, and the lip color is very light.

Zhou Pei thought to himself, this person has grown up.

After that, he also fell asleep, the sleep was very light, when he closed his eyes, the thin eyelids seemed to be shining through, and the memories dangling and uninvited came into his eyelids, the memories he thought he didn't care about, like The tumbling waves rushed towards him overwhelmingly.

Zhou Pei opened his eyes suddenly, with a tense expression. He grasped his hand for a moment, and then let go immediately. He raised his head and looked at the people around him. After a few traces, he looked at Zhou Pei worriedly, and stretched out his hand to help him, but Zhou Pei avoided him.

After a pause, Xu asked softly, "Teacher, did you have a nightmare?"

Zhou Pei was concentrating, his brows were not soft, he rolled his eyelids in annoyance, the folds of his double eyelids loosened, he raised his hand to press the center of his brows, "I'm fine."

Zhou Pei didn't want to say any more, so Xu Wei didn't dare to ask any more. He looked at Mr. Zhou cautiously, his eyes inch by inch, but he didn't dare to go too far.

After the transfer, Zhou Pei ate something at the local airport. He had no appetite. After eating, he sat in the terminal waiting for the next flight. After a short wait, a person sat next to him. He looked sideways. , see or Xu Yan.

Zhou Pei felt strange in his heart, and subconsciously asked, "Why are you still here?"

"I still have to connect, the flight to Iceland."

Zhou Pei frowned upon hearing this, "Are you going to Iceland too?"

Xu Yan showed a surprised look, "Teacher, are you going too?"

Zhou Pei looked at his face, and suddenly an unknown fire burst into his heart, and it ran around in his empty chest.

Zhou Pei looked at him deeply, and after a few seconds, he moved closer, lowered his voice, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I didn't want to do anything?" Xu Yan looked blank,

But Pei didn't believe it. He still remembered the boy's face full of interest. This person always liked to play tricks on others. He was afraid, pursed his lips, and said, "Xu Yan, don't bother me anymore, I can't afford it." .”

There is a ten-year age difference between him and Xu Yan. Five years ago, he was too naive and fell in love with that boy.

But now, even if the young man from back then has grown up, and he is also old, the fire in his heart has been extinguished.

Xu Yan stared at Zhou Pei, his gaze gradually dimmed. Ten seconds later, Zhou Pei thought he was just giving up, so he heard him ask: "Teacher, is it because of me that you left school?"

"No." Zhou Pei glanced at him, looked at the passing crowd behind him, and said in a low voice, "It has nothing to do with you."

Indeed, it had nothing to do with him. When he was reported back then, the big-character posters at the school gate were covered with photos of him and Gao Kuo, all the intimate photos left behind, Gao Kuo helped him to enter the school through his relationship, everything, at that moment it was like It is a dirty history, being published, discussed and named.

Zhou Pei had never been humiliated like this before. He tore up the photo, but he couldn't get rid of the knife-like eyes of others.

After that day, even if the school does not expel him, he will resign himself.

Later, Gao Kuo came to him once, knelt on the ground and cried, and said sorry to him, he was the one who hurt him.

Those photos were all sent by Gao Kuo's ex-wife. After all, his ex-wife chose to fight back, hurting others and herself.

Zhou Pei left in desperation and came to Longcheng. After five years of peaceful life, when he saw Xu Yan, everything would be reshuffled.

After the connecting flight, more than ten hours later, the plane landed at Keflavik International Airport in Iceland. The local climate was cooler than that of Longcheng, and it was still slightly cold. Zhou Pei put on long sleeves, took his luggage, and left the airport. Push it out slowly.

The local tour guide he had already contacted was waiting outside. It was a short white man about 1.7 meters, with a friendly face. When he saw Zhou Pei, he smiled and waved, and looked at Zhou Pei's name stiffly.

Zhou Pei walked towards him and greeted him in English.

The tour guide drove and took him to the hotel. Zhou Pei was exhausted and squinted in the car for a while. When he opened his eyes, the car had already arrived at the hotel.

After completing the formalities, Zhou Pei took the room card to find the room. He lived on the second floor, and the elevator didn't come down, so he went up the stairs directly, walked along the winding stairs, pushed open the door of the corridor, Zhou Pei Pei stopped at the turn.

When the other party saw Zhou Pei, he was stunned for a moment. Xu Yan raised his hands, with a flustered expression, and immediately said: "Teacher, this time is really a coincidence." After he finished speaking, he added dryly, "I I did not lie to you."

Zhou Pei ignored him, staggered his shoulders, and walked straight to the other side. Xu Yan followed closely behind him, and finally stopped at the opposite door of Zhou Pei. He simply didn't have 300 taels of silver here, and said again that it was not a coincidence , Zhou Pei didn't say a word, swiped the door to enter, and the door closed with a "bang".

Xu Yan looked at the closed door and stood outside for a while, his eyes were lowered, his face was full of loneliness, he had grown up a lot, but his expression when he was unhappy was still exactly the same as when he was a teenager.

Zhou Pei left from the door, threw his luggage by the door, took off his shoes, and was thrown into the bed by himself.

He was very tired, and the travel he was looking forward to had become full of baggage because of the "encounter".
