"Damn it! No way!"

"Die, school!"

"How many years of circuit, I will go!"

"Power outage?!" Huang Jiaxin, who was half a meter away, wailed, "Why is there a power outage! I'm fucking competing!"

The national abuse in the dormitory next door and in the corridor of the dormitory came one after another. Kang Ci stood up, and when he looked out the window, the campus was pitch black.He turned his head, the laptop was still on, but the network status in the lower right corner was marked with a huge cross.

There was a power outage.

It is indeed a rare thing, and Kang Ci seems to have never encountered it since he entered school.

The time is also embarrassing, the evening class is not over yet, even if you leave get out of class early and go back to the dormitory, you have to use water and electricity, it is not convenient in the dark.The class had already begun to protest, but the counselor didn't show up for a long time, so the class leader had no choice but to calm down and appease everyone.

"Cui Yang suggested that we light candles." Huang Jiaxin couldn't believe it, "Is he an idiot? The 21st century has entered its second decade, who still keeps candles! If you can't speak, don't say it!"

Knowing that the people in the class have a lot of opinions on the monitor, Kang Ci didn't say anything: "Are you going to wash? I have a flashlight."

Huang Jiaxin: "I'd rather go out and open a room."

"Look at this." Kang Ci held up the phone in front of Huang Jiaxin, "I just received a notification. This time it's not that there is a problem with the school's electrical circuit. The cable was dug up during the construction of the drainage pipe on Tiyu West Road. Now the entire Xinan District has a power outage waiting for emergency repairs." .”

Huang Jiaxin snatched the phone, carefully read the words on the screen three times, his eyes went dark, and he collapsed on the chair: "Help, I'm just short of going through the robbery tonight, why did this happen! They will think that I am acting, and what will they do if they don’t fight with me in the future!”

"QQ say something." Kang Ci said casually, and suddenly remembered that he was also forced to log off.

And one second before going offline, Little Pumpkin was still surrounded by the number one under heaven group of shameless gangsters.His "I'm here" has been sent out, followed by disappearing in place...

Will the little pumpkin also think that he is pulling the network cable tactically?

He was taken aback by the special situation of the power outage just now, and then gossip from his roommates and classmates attracted his attention. Kang Ci didn't realize until now that he should tell Little Pumpkin.

But he clicked on QQ, before it was his turn to type to explain the situation, the message from the other party came first.

Little Pumpkin: Can't get offline

You can't be blaming him, no matter how you look at it, you have a bit of a complaining tone!

Thinking of this, Kang Ci typed with his fingers almost flying: "I'm sorry! There was a sudden power outage. If you are in a hurry, I will turn on a hotspot on my phone and go over to help you beat someone right away!"

Little Pumpkin: I won’t be able to go up for the time being [laughing and crying]

Pumpkin: Blackout +1

Suddenly, a tendon in Kang Ci's right hand throbbed violently. He seemed to be dominated by intuition, and he tried his best to suppress himself with reason.After a few moments of such a game between the two parties, reason is still defeated - Kang Ci thinks that he really can't be calm in life, and the KEEPCALM word on the phone case can't remind him because the lights are off.

Kang Ci: It can't be such a coincidence, you are also in Hongshi, right?

This sentence appeared in the dialog box, and the puppy behind the bubble blinked mechanically.Kang Ci's heart was beating like a beating, and he couldn't help thinking: What if it is really from the same city?

A virtual friend who only exists on the Internet and games may become someone who passes by in the streets——

For no reason, Kang Ci suddenly panicked.

He quickly withdrew the message, and it took less than half a minute from sending it to disappearing.The initial impulse finally gave way to the revived reason, Kang Ci rubbed his hands, and the violent heartbeat calmed down as violently as it came.

I don't know if the other party saw it...

He thought a lot in a mess, such as what to do if he was really in the same city, Little Pumpkin didn't want him to know about the three-dimensional information, and it would be impolite to ask him suddenly now, but he withdrew it for a while or pretended not to post it... ... When the mood was almost cleared up, the other party returned Kangci.

Little Pumpkin: I just packed my things.

Kang Ci: Are you okay?

Little Pumpkin: I probably won't be able to get on it today.

Little Pumpkin: I was notified that the cable was dug up, and it has to be repaired until tomorrow morning.

Seemingly acknowledging nothing, yet fully expressing something.Kang Ci glanced at the announcement just sent out in the class group, and it was basically the same as what Little Pumpkin said - so, he guessed right, Little Pumpkin is in Hongshi.And the scope has been greatly narrowed down to the two districts spanned by Tiyu West Road, including the neighborhood of my home and the school.

It was too close, so that Kang Ci became uneasy after realizing it. He switched back to the chat box of Little Pumpkin, and changed his old persistence of breaking the casserole and asking the bottom line.

Kang Ci: Then go take a shower first, and talk about it tomorrow?

Little Pumpkin: Well, I'll go downstairs and buy a flashlight.

The good friends in the game are illusory and far away, and the Internet is twists and turns, but the distance is shortened by chance and coincidence, and they become friends who can go out to eat and watch movies together on weekends, and may develop into friends who chat in reality.

If you were someone else, you might be excited about it for a while, but Kang Ci couldn't be happy.

Not to mention how rich Kang Ci's family is, at least they are well-off.He grew up under the patient education and guidance of his parents. He was very sincere in his dealings with others, and he helped whenever he could. Later, he realized that he was too naive.

What happened in the first year of university somewhat frustrated his self-confidence. From then on, boys of the same age, headed by class monitor Cui Yang, were angry with him and always used "your father is the vice president" to call Kang Ci.At first I thought it was nothing, but later I realized that these people were doing it for fun and making him look ugly on purpose.

Zhong Suisui said that he was socially phobic after college, but Kang Ci did not deny that he really didn't want to establish friendship with strangers.

So when the little pumpkin suddenly became a real person from a virtual model, Kang Ci's first reaction was: Never let him know that I am also in Hongshi.

"Kangkang, the battery of your flashlight is broken." Huang Jiaxin held up the flashlight that had just been dug out of the cabinet.

Kang Ci got up consciously: "Oh, then I'll go to the student supermarket to buy a pair."

Huang Jiaxin: "I'll go, you..."

"You've already taken off your clothes, don't be polite to me." Kang Ci took the keys and mobile phone, and couldn't help smiling at Huang Jiaxin's thank you, "Just wait for me in the dormitory."

"Don't worry! I'll start a mobile game first..."

"Save your mobile phone." Kang Ci opened the door, "I won't lend you a power bank."

Although it is already October, the autumn coolness in southern cities is long overdue.During the day, the warmth of the scorching sun is still there, and the wind flowing between the leaves blows up a slightly bitter smell of vegetation. Occasionally, one or two chirping insects come from the artificial lake, which is full of vitality.

The street lamps were also extinguished, and the shadowy lights at night were crushed by passers-by.

The student supermarket has its own generator, which has become a little light in the dark depths.There were unexpectedly many people inside, some came to rub the charger, some were eating instant noodles, and some went out temporarily like Kang Ci to buy batteries and flashlights-it is not yet nine o'clock, and for contemporary young people, the night is really It's too long.

The battery was bought at the cash register, but the queue was long, so Kang Ci simply walked around the supermarket.

He took two packs of biscuits and a bottle of water, and sat at the end of the line in a regular manner, looking around because he was bored.

The person in front was half a head taller than Kang Ci, wearing a large black T-shirt, with a thin red rope around his neck, and the spine at the back of his neck protruded slightly with the movement of his head.His skin is fair, so the red rope is more colorful. Kang Ci stared at it for a while, and suddenly felt that the figure of this person looked familiar...

The next moment, the man raised his head, turned his face halfway and changed the flashlight to a better position.

The crow-feather-colored hair covered his eyebrows and eyes, a light flashed, his eyes met, and the fragmentary sounds in his ears disappeared.

Kang Ci: "..."

Why is it Lu Chaonan again!Why did he keep meeting Lu Chaonan!

The two looked at each other for a moment, probably knowing that the other didn't want to talk, and they looked away tacitly.

Not long after it was Lu Chaonan's turn to pay the bill, Kang Ci took a look and found that he bought a pack of cigarettes in addition to the flashlight and batteries.

Scanning the code to pay has always been very fast, Kang Ci waited for a while doing nothing, and did not move for a long time.

Lu Chaonan turned his head, a rare embarrassment appeared on his stern face: "Kang Ci."

"Ok?"

"Can..." He cleared his throat, "Can you lend me some money? I don't have a card, and my phone is dead."

Suddenly, a sense of superiority arose, and Kang Ci finally swallowed back the "please me", and solemnly helped Lu Chaonan swipe his card.When he heard the other party's humble "thank you", most of the embarrassment before him dissipated, and he felt as if he had regained some face, and even the action of picking the battery to pay for himself was aroused.

Lu Chaonan waited for him at the entrance of the supermarket, lit a menthol cigarette, put one hand in his pocket, his demeanor was a bit laid-back.

The night breeze was cool, and the students shuttled around, most of them looked down at their mobile phones or chatted with those around them. Lu Chaonan stood alone, exhaled a puff of smoke and stared blankly at it dissipating in the air.

He is a very conspicuous person, even if he does nothing, he will be watched by many eyes uncontrollably.After Kang Ci paid the money, his gaze paused for a moment in the center of the red light on Lu Chaonan's fingertips. Suddenly his mouth became dry, and he went back to buy a second bottle of water—he thought it was too late for Lu Chaonan to leave first.

But when he walked out again, Lu Chaonan was still where he was.He turned his head, looked straight at Kang Ci without dodging or avoiding, and gestured towards the school road with his slender fingers holding a cigarette: "Go back together?"

When Kang Ci came back to his senses, the two had already walked side by side to the dormitory building.

The realization that "Lu Chaonan is waiting for him" made Kang Ci a little flustered. He had nothing to say, and he didn't dare to ask the reason.

There was no light on the school road, and his posture was too nervous, so Lu Chaonan simply turned on the flashlight he just bought: "Can you see clearly?"

It was useless for Kang Ci to jump into the Yellow River, so he could only nod with a smirk at the other party, and then continued to look down at the road.

Their shadows turned into a small group and huddled at the bottom of their feet, protruding pebbles, cracks, facing the light as if it had just rained.Lu Chaonan had just finished smoking, and the mint smell was a bit strong, so Kang Ci rubbed his nose involuntarily.

"What am I talking about?" He was nagging in his heart, "I just lent him back the money! Why did he start to panic again, and he won't eat me again!...Damn, but why did he want to Wait for me, is it... I am stupid, do I have to borrow him a power bank..."

It takes only 5 minutes to walk from the student supermarket to the undergraduate dormitory, and the doctoral building is further away.

Opposite is the women's dormitory, and the couple who are telling each other are still hugging each other.Kang Ci mentioned the things he just bought, and when Lu Chaonan said "See you in class", he couldn't tell what he thought, so he stopped him suddenly.

"Senior, there is a power bank in my dormitory." Kang Ci's eyes flickered, "Do you want to use it? I'll take it down for you."

Lu Chaonan was dazed for a moment, then relaxed again.

"That's troublesome, I'll wait for you here."

Going upstairs in a daze, took the power bank and went downstairs to pass it to Lu Chaonan. Kang Ci couldn't remember how he explained it to Huang Jiaxin.The personality in his body that thinks about his friends and makes things convenient for his classmates has the upper hand. His habit from childhood to adulthood made him have to think more about Lu Chaonan.

Although they don't seem to be friends at all, nor are they classmates.

The power bank was connected to the mobile phone, and Lu Chaonan was not in a hurry to leave after charging it.He fiddled with the power bank in his hand, and when the screen turned on, he said to Kang: "Add a WeChat."

Lu Chaonan asked a useless question, the tone of which could not be refuted.Little Pumpkin's warning involuntarily surfaced in his memory, Kang Ci's heart beat heavily, and finally took a half step back vigilantly: "What are you doing with WeChat?"

"Repay the money." Lu Chaonan almost smiled, "It's more than 40 yuan, don't you want it?"

Kang Ci: "..."

He called up the QR code and scanned it for Lu Chaonan, and after a while, he received a red envelope with the remark that it was a light bulb icon.

Lu Chaonan waved the power bank at him: "I'll return it to you when it's fully charged, bye."

"Don't worry." Kang Ci said instinctively, "Just return it to me when it's convenient for you... Goodbye!"

Lu Chaonan turned his back, and the wind seemed to stop for a moment.

Maybe it's because the mint smell still lingers on the collar, the fire when Lu Chaonan leaned against the camphor tree to light a cigarette became a light source in the dark, softening his too sharp edges and corners.Or maybe, he took off his shirt and trousers in class, and he was an ordinary Hong Kong college student, which weakened his aura and reduced his sense of distance.

He will forget to charge his mobile phone and forget to bring money.

During the blackout night, Lu Chaonan relaxed and undisciplined while leaning against a tree to smoke, which was very different from usual.

And such a person would not disgust Kang Ci.

The author says:

Kangkang, have you ever wondered why you ran into this person as soon as you went out...

rest tomorrow……
