-LIB: I think I saw you at the signing.

-LIB: Did you come to my book signing?

Thirty-one hours have passed since the first signing in my life, and more than 31 hours have passed since I sent these two messages to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu hasn't messaged him yet.

This is the first time this has happened.

Lu Yining turned the phone's screen to black, hugged the quilt and stared at the half crescent moon outside the window.

Should not have sent that message.

He curled up, he hadn't slept all day, but he wasn't sleepy at all, his eyes were a little sore, and he might see red bloodshot eyes when he looked in the mirror, but he didn't dare to sleep at all, and he didn't even dare to close his eyes and take a nap. Aunt Zeng saw He was out of his mind all day, and asked many times, but he just waved his hands, sometimes nestled on the sofa, sometimes nestled in the leather chair in the studio, or just leaned against the bay window... not in the mood to do anything, A whole heart hooked on the phone.

After the news was sent out, he actually started to regret it. He shouldn't have asked, even if the person he saw really looked like Qin Yu, or it was Qin Yu, he shouldn't have asked.

Because it was agreed.

But now I seem to have broken the agreement.

Subconsciously, Lu Yining has always had a sense of unreality about Qin Yu. Qin Yu is too perfect for him, gentle, considerate, with just the right sense of proportion and distance, just like magic in a fairy tale book A customized lover... so that people like him can also enjoy the love that is so common to ordinary people.

Before meeting Qin Yu, he always thought that he would never have a chance to fall in love in this life. He would earn a lot of money, buy good medicine, survive all the estrus before the heartless period, and live in a good nursing home when he was old. , and live alone for a long time.This is the future Qin Yu saw before he broke into his life. Of course, it’s not that he has never fantasized about love. He has thought about love, at least when he was a teenager before his cleanliness became serious, he fantasized seriously, but then the devil took hold In his brain, he didn't think about it again, because love in fantasy was no longer sweet, but instead became ugly and terrifying. He didn't dare to think about his contact with another person, and he couldn't even hold hands... When you see a couple kissing goodbye on the street, what comes to your mind is not a pair of passionate lovers, but disgust.

All the things that moved his heart before have become fruits that have lost their gorgeous appearance, are no longer sweet, and exude a rotten smell.

He became a person who could only see the dirty and ugly, and all the beauty began to disappear from his world bit by bit.

It was also at that time that Lu Yining started to pick up a paintbrush, wanting to create a world without filth, desperately trying to grasp a little bit of good, unpolluted things, when he had no way to make one for himself in the real world. When the bubble house is clean, he can create a world in the bubble under his brush, and then forget everything in real life and hide in that bubble.

But when that bubble was completely born, Lu Yining found that he couldn't get in anymore. His bubble was healed, but he couldn't get in, and he had to face the world full of pollution in front of him again.

In his heart, Lu Yining tried to find the doctor recommended by the Great Demon King, but he didn't even have the courage to go out, let alone go to the hospital. Once he was discharged from the hospital, he retreated into the house, following the business papers one by one, It was as if displaced people hid in temporary safe houses one after another, and he was relieved until the real bubble house was built, and began to work hard to clean up the messy life.

Then I met Qin Yu, a person who was very compatible in all aspects, and because he was far away, he could almost be regarded as a person from another world. Lu Yining subconsciously regarded him as living in a bubble people.

The days with Qin Yu are like in a dream, both real and illusory, and Qin Yu is the Sandman in the fairy tale who will sneak into the dream and fulfill all his wishes that cannot be fulfilled after waking up. They signed a contract, as long as they do not violate According to the content of the contract, he will always be there.

But now that the contract was broken, he exposed Qin Yu to the real world, and the dream began to collapse and become fragmented, and it seemed that Qin Yu, who had made a contract with him, would disappear along with it.

It was as if the midnight clock began to tick after a long sleep, and the magic began to fade away.

The sound of the second hand turning is inexplicably harsh, as if time is blatantly announcing its own passing, one second, two seconds, three seconds... slowly turning into one minute, one hour, or even one day, the uneasiness in my heart is like a rising tide, Already flooded to the chest.Lu Yining let out a long breath, sat up, turned on the phone and stared at the chat interface that remained unchanged.

He bit his lower lip and typed out a large paragraph intermittently, "I just saw a person who looks like you, maybe I misread it. Are you asleep? Let's chat? The signing will be smooth, not as expected So scared, and a few interesting things happened, do you want to hear it?"

With his thumb resting on the send button, Lu Yining reviewed the passage repeatedly, and even thought about the emoji package with the big white goose in sunglasses, but he still didn't send it out, and moved his thumb down a little, da da da The deletion sounds gradually became one... The text input box became blank.

It is already 1:53.

Distraught, Lu Yining threw the phone aside, hugged his legs and recalled what happened yesterday.

The signing meeting went very smoothly, and none of the things he had worried about happened. Xiaolin was responsible for taking the words that needed to be written on the post-it notes in advance from the readers, and taking the books from the readers, opening them and handing them to him. Otherwise, I was responsible for receiving gifts, and everything was in order, except for a few readers who were so excited that they cried, and their tears dripped on the table, but they were not very close to me. Maybe the treatment worked, and the anxiety did not attack. An Ke promptly took a tissue to wipe the water droplets on the table, obviously afraid that he would suddenly get sick, but An Ke forgot the young man who was standing in front of him and couldn't stop crying, he took out a bag from En Ke's bag. He tentatively handed over a piece of paper, his hands trembling a little, and the young man seemed to be shocked, his eyes widened for a moment, and tears fell onto his gloves.

Black leather gloves, very thick, he couldn't feel the tears, but he could see them.

The young man hurriedly took the tissue, wiped away his tears, and said a little choked up: "Yes... I'm sorry, Teacher Shiqi, I know... You... You have OCDC, I didn't mean it... I just saw you too excited……"

"It's okay." Lu Yining withdrew his hand, repeated self-suggestions in his heart, and then tried his best not to look at the place where the tears were stained just now, so that the signature became a bit scribbled. Read it by yourself after writing At that time, I feel a little sorry.

But the young man didn't care. He happily took the manga, opened his wet eyes a little nervously, and asked, "Can we take a photo together?" and pointed to his friend.

Lu Yining nodded, looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a face that he knew so well that he could draw it with his eyes closed.

It's Qin Yu.

He subconsciously stood up and met Qin Yu in the crowd.

Qin Yu was wearing a light gray transparent protective mask, a crisp black suit, and a dark blue tie. The tie clip on it was familiar to him. The limited edition Blurv released last year had an 89-faceted blue tie on the tail. The drill looks like a burning blue flame under the light.

It was his 24th birthday present to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu's eyes widened slightly, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, he lowered his head the next second, turned around and left, leaving only a gradually blurred figure in the crowd.

"Teacher Seventeen?"

Anke's sweet voice sounded, pulling him back.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Lu Yining sat down again, "Go ahead."

Is it Qin Yu?

Why is he here?

Did you come to find yourself?

But why go again?

Or did I recognize the wrong person, just a person who looks very similar to Qin Yu?

It wasn't Qin Yu, he wouldn't come to a place with so many people.

Impossible, it must be Qin Yu, he will not admit his mistake.

……

The appearance of Qin Yu made him restless, Lu Yining raised his head several times to look at the place where he had just appeared and disappeared, and even wrote a wrong word a few times, so Encore had to run to help the reader change a copy A new book is coming.

Until the end of the signing session, he never saw Qin Yu again, as if everything before was just his own hallucination. Lu Yining was rubbing his sore wrists in the lounge, was it an illusion caused by bowing his head for too long?

No way.

After the end, he invited everyone to eat at a nearby izakaya, which was strongly recommended by Encore. He swiped his card and did not participate in it. Everyone expressed their understanding. Then Xiaolin said that he could not eat seafood and did not participate in it, so he drove him back Home.

After taking a shower, Lu Yining sat on the sofa and turned on the TV. He pressed the remote control, and happened to see that a channel was playing "Chilling", which was the episode of the hourglass upside down. He put down the remote control panel, leaned on the soft sofa, Fatigue swept over his whole body in an instant, as if some kind of strength supporting him as a whole disappeared from his body, but he didn't want to go to bed.

The production room is very powerful, and the fighting is beyond his imagination. His eyes are full of swords and swords, but his mind is only thinking about a completely unrelated question. Is that person in the afternoon Qin Yu?

The mobile phone was held by Lu Yining and turned around in circles. The episode was over, and the ED was sung by a very popular independent musician in recent years. I heard that he was still a high school student.

How can such a small child sing with such a cold and sad voice?

Lu Yining raised this question, but he didn't have any ideas for further understanding.

What is Qin Yu doing now?Is it at home or at work?

He is wearing a suit in the afternoon. Is he from the company?Still ready to go to the company.

Sitting alone in the empty home, Lu Yining watched the TV sales program that had turned into a TV sales program selling height-enhancing vests, and sneered, "What is it?"

Qin Yu, he looks a little different from the photos and videos, he thought so, but he couldn't tell the difference, he just felt that way.

Even the TV sales program finished playing, the TV screen turned into a blue light, and a line of small characters scrolled back and forth—it’s late at night, go and rest.

Lu Yining blinked his sour eyes, took out his mobile phone, typed with trembling fingers, watched the green message box fill up little by little, indicating that the message had been sent successfully, he clicked on the emoji package, swiped from the top When he arrived, he heaved a long sigh because he couldn't find a suitable big white goose.

The moon is gone.

Lu Yining reached out and tapped the phone screen a few times, and the displayed time was 4:26.

Almost thirty hours, which is a new record.

Lu Yining stretched out his hand and flicked up the chat history, the last message Qin Yu sent to him was to wish him all the best for the signing.

Not going well, not going well at all!

Lu Yining tapped Qin Yu's profile photo a few times, the phone vibrated slightly, and a line of small light gray characters popped up at the bottom, "You shake 'I like A'"

Lu Yining stared at the line of words, and after a while, he said, "I didn't."

But the small gray text is not Echo, and will not reply to him.

Lu Yining curled his lips and muttered complainingly, "Obviously you came to find me by yourself, what are you doing now?" After muttering, he belatedly realized that the contract was broken, but It wasn't me who broke the contract first...

It was Qin Yu who appeared first, came out of his dream, and then appeared in his real world.

Thinking of this, the previous anxiety and tension faded a lot, replaced by a little anger, regardless of whether Qin Yu was sleeping or not, Lu Yining pressed the voice call button, Natasia's "Lukesia" "Variations" stopped abruptly when it reached the fourth paragraph, and the 00:00 on the screen began to count.

Lu Yining licked his lips and said, "Qin Yu."

Qin Yu sent a message over there: "Yes."

"You haven't responded to my message for thirty hours." He heard a small voice from the opposite side, but he didn't know what it was.

-sorry.

Qin Yu should apologize, but Lu Yining didn't want to accept those three words, he didn't know how to reply, and the surrounding became quiet again, as if he was the only one, but the numbers on the screen were still changing, Indicates that he is talking to someone.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yining asked, "What should we do now?" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that his voice had changed, and his nasal voice became heavy and steamy.

- you cried.

- i didn't mean not to reply to messages

- Anin

-I'm sorry

Qin Yu's messages came one after another, and there were footsteps and tinkling sounds from the opposite side, as if something had fallen to the ground.

- Aning, would you like

- would you like to come out and meet me

Lu Yining opened his eyes slightly, wondering for a moment if he fell asleep unknowingly.

-A-Ning, would you like to come out and meet me?

-I can explain to you what happened that day.

- I'm going to your book signing

"You want to meet me?" Lu Yining asked a little uncertainly.

-Um

Lu Yining bit himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming, then quickly made a decision, and replied without thinking at all: "Okay, where are we going?"

- No. 68, Tangning Road

"You send me the address, and I'll drive there tomorrow."

-it is good.

-[Location]

"What time is it?"

- I will always be here tomorrow, you can come anytime.

-Will you come tomorrow [Classic eyes.jpg]

Lu Yining closed his eyes, "Yes."

-Then I wait for you

-you should rest earlier

"Okay, you also rest early."

- Mmm [Classic Moon.jpg]

Lu Yining hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and hung up the voice call.

Qin Yu actually proposed to meet?Why?He didn't think about it for a while, lay down on the bed again, and closed his eyes. He had thought about what it would be like when he met Qin Yu before, but he never expected such a situation. He was caught off guard and had no time to prepare ...But it seems that it is not so bad.

Because Qin Yu doesn't seem to have any intention of disappearing...

As for the situation of tomorrow's meeting, he no longer has the strength to think about it, and it can't be worse than it is now.

By the way, why didn't Qin Yu sleep?Are you still working?Before going to sleep, Lu Yining thought of this incident in a daze, and before he could think of something, he was pulled into a deep sleep.
