On the New Posture of Being Captive

Rumbling--

The thunder sounded unexpectedly, piercing the twilight sky, and a burst of torrential rain came, and the raindrops fell happily.

Xu Xingxing was dumbfounded as soon as he came out of the library. Why did the weather be fine when he came here? Now it’s raining suddenly, and the sound seems to be getting bigger and bigger. Xu Xingxing didn’t even take an umbrella. We can wait in the library lobby for a while.

Xu Xingxing was not a person who often went to the library, but now because of his graduation thesis, the dormitory is really not a place to study. A few roommates get together to chat and play games, in order to finish the thesis efficiently Xu Xingxing I can only go to the library.

X University is a key university in this city. The library is very beautifully built. The soft light outlines the appearance of the entire library, coupled with the white light exposed from the glass windows, it is extraordinarily quiet and beautiful in the twilight night, and the surrounding trees are setting off the dignified and elegant fragrance of books.

In the hall were students who didn’t bring umbrellas like Xu Xingxing. Some were silently looking down at the books in their hands, some were memorizing vocabulary words while eating, some were playing with their mobile phones while bowing their heads, and some Like Xu Xingxing, he was in a daze or looking around, paying attention to the rain outside the glass door.

When Xu Xingxing was in a daze, he suddenly thought of the figure he saw inexplicably at the Peach Blossom Festival that day. Xu Xingxing was still wondering, the man in black, with those stern eyes, when Xu Xingxing was thinking about it, suddenly appeared behind him. a voice.

"Hi! Little Xingxing!" The man patted Xu Xingxing's shoulder, and the unstoppable smile was evident in his voice.

Xu Xingxing was taken aback, and turned his head in horror. When he saw that he was an acquaintance, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he called out happily, "Senior."

Li Nan pretended to be angry and tilted his mouth, Xu Xingxing reacted all of a sudden, smiled lightly, relaxed and soft, with eyebrows and eyes curved, and called out "Brother Nan."

Then Li Nan laughed, "What were you thinking just now?" Li Nan looked at Xu Xingxing and said, "I called you for a long time and didn't hear you." Li Nan raised his eyebrows and teased, "Is it Sichun?" ? Which little girl are you thinking about?"

"Oh, no," Xu Xingxing quickly waved his hands, "I was in a daze just now."

"Pfft——" Li Nan laughed, and touched Xu Xingxing's head indiscriminately, "You are so dumb, I really want to knock your head open and see what's inside? Li Nan said, bending his index finger and tapping Xu Xingxing's head lightly with his knuckles.

Xu Xingxing also felt that it was a bit stupid for him to say that, so he touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, "Brother Nan, why are you also in the library? Shouldn't all graduate students go out to play?"

Li Nan put on a look of lovelessness, spread his hands and said helplessly: "Grandma, the mentor, gave me another task."

Xu Xingxing was happy, "Hey, Teacher Li is not old, why do you always call him grandma? Besides, the teacher treats you very well."

"Because," Li Nan looked at Xu Xingxing and said mysteriously, "Because... she is actually a teacher, a child grandma in Tianshan Mountain."

"Be careful to be heard by Teacher Li another day," Xu Xingxing said with a wicked smile, "In that case..."

"You don't want to inform me, do you?" Li Nan raised her eyebrows, and grabbed Xu Xingxing's shoulders with both hands, "Little Xingxing, brother treats you well, so why don't you let me be scolded by my teacher? Why do you want me to be sad?" ..." The tone was bitter and pitiful.

"I'll think about it," Xu Xingxing was serious and deep in thought. Suddenly, he caught something out of the corner of his eye, raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Li Nan and said, "Brother Nan, I want to eat grilled sausage."

Li Nan's eyelids trembled. This kid is really getting smarter and smarter. Li Nan smiled, but he is still very cute. Li Nan is Xu Xingxing's direct senior, and Xu Xingxing was picked up by Li Nan when he was a freshman. Later, the two had different personalities They hit it off quite well, and the relationship got better before I knew it.

"Okay," Li Nan said, "let's go eat grilled sausage."

After a while, the two went to the small supermarket in the lobby of the library, and one of them walked out with a steaming sausage.

"It's delicious." Xu Xingxing said with a satisfied face, and said seriously while eating the sausage, "Brother Nan, don't worry, I will never betray you, I don't want you to be sad." After speaking, he patted Li Nan shoulders, the appearance of a great leader caring for his subordinates.

Li Nan looked at him amusedly, "Let's go, go back to the dormitory."

"Hey, has the rain stopped?" Xu Xingxing looked outside.

"No, but I have an umbrella." Li Nan took out an umbrella from his schoolbag as he spoke.

"Wow, you actually brought an umbrella, why didn't you say so earlier," Xu Xingxing hurriedly finished the remaining sausage, ran over and threw the wooden stick in his hand into the trash can, hula la ran over and said with a smile, " Brother Nan, you are so kind, let's go back."

The two walked out the door together.

"Since you are sitting there, I know that you must not have an umbrella," Li Nan opened the umbrella, "Did you come to the library to write your graduation thesis today?" He said and raised the umbrella above the heads of the two of them.

Xu Xingxing came over and stood under the umbrella, "Well, but I feel so difficult." Xu Xingxing was a little worried when he thought of his graduation thesis.

"Don't worry, it's still early," Li Nan said, "The defense will be held in mid-May, and there is still time."

"Hey, it's so annoying," Xu Xingxing said, "I don't want to graduate."

Li Nan smiled, "Aren't you going to continue your postgraduate study for three years?"

"Hey, I just don't want my group of roommates and classmates to go their separate ways," Xu Xingxing sighed, "After four years together, some people will never see each other again."

"I'm still here," Li Nan patted Xu Xingxing's head casually, "Little Xingxing, you can still be at my disposal for three years, don't be too happy."

"Hey," Xu Xingxing chuckled, and touched the tip of his nose, "Yes, Brother Nan, you're still here."

"Stupid..." Li Nan sneered.

"How can there be!?" Xu Xingxing argued.

"What do you say..."

……

The raindrops fell on the umbrella surface, pattering, like the accompaniment of a happy elf among the flowers, or like a girl full of thoughts singing that graceful song in a low voice.

Xu Xingxing and Li Nan are not in the same dormitory building. Li Nan went to his dormitory building first and gave Xu Xingxing the umbrella. Seeing that the rain seemed to be getting heavier again, Xu Xingxing hurriedly walked towards his dormitory building, and a gust of cold wind blew , Xu Xingxing shuddered, and walked downstairs to the dormitory. Xu Xingxing just put away his umbrella and was about to swipe his card to enter, but he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye.

Xu Xingxing was stunned for a moment, looking at the shadow, for some reason, Xu Xingxing felt that the figure was a bit lonely.

Right next to Yuyemei, the branches covered half of his body, the man in black just stood under the rain, letting the rain fall on his body, only a pair of eyes could be seen in the black cloak, the man felt Xu Xingxing looked over and also looked at Xu Xingxing, with no expression on his face.

The sound of the rain swept across the leaves and rustled, but the man remained motionless. Xu Xingxing suddenly felt as if his heart had been grabbed.

Xu Xingxing walked over and handed him the umbrella in his hand, "Here," Xu Xingxing looked at the man and said, "Are you waiting for someone here?"

The raindrops fell on Xu Xingxing's body, on the ends of his hair, and on his outstretched arms.

The man looked at Xu Xingxing, with no expression on his face, motionless, did not take the umbrella Xu Xingxing handed over, just looked at Xu Xingxing.

When Xu Xingxing saw these stern eyes, his heart trembled suddenly, as if, just like the eyes he saw that day, they were also so cold, without any warmth, awe-inspiring and cold, which made people feel uneasy, but there seemed to be a little There are other things hidden in it, buried in the deep eyes.

"Your hat can't cover the rain at all. It's going to get wet. Take it."

Xu Xingxing saw that the man in black did not take the umbrella, so he opened the umbrella and raised it above the heads of the two of them, "You will catch a cold if you do this, take this umbrella and just return it to me tomorrow." He said and held the man's hand , forced the umbrella into his hand, then jumped up the steps quickly, swiped the card quickly, and looked at the man with a smile before going in, "Remember to return it to me, isn't this umbrella Mine, if it’s mine, I’ll give it to you, I’m leaving, goodbye.” He waved to the man and entered the door.

The man watched Xu Xingxing leave his back until Xu Xingxing disappeared from his field of vision, then looked at the umbrella he was holding in his hand, stared at his hand for a while, and kept looking at the umbrella that was caught just now. The hand touched by that person seemed to still have a slight warmth.

Xu Xingxing jumped to his dormitory, and the moment he opened the door, he was rushed into his arms by the oncoming people.

"Little Xingxing!" Zhang Tianle howled, "I lost badly today!"

Xu Xingxing smiled and patted Zhang Tianle on the shoulder, "Don't cry, don't cry, baby Tianle will continue to lose, come on, you are the best!"

"You've gone bad," Zhang Tianle looked at Xu Xingxing sadly, "I left you a pineapple, I specially reserved it for you, do you know how difficult it is to leave food in brother Sheng's mouth? ?”

Xu Xingxing looked at Zhang Tianle flatteringly, "Tianle, you are the best, I will bring you breakfast tomorrow."

"I want it too!" Wang Sheng interjected, "I want pancakes! More crispy."

"I want it too!" Yang Cheng came out of the bathroom, "I want lotus leaf cake with vegetables, and two sticks of ham."

"It's not for you!" Zhang Tianle rolled his eyes, "Little Xingxing wanted to bring it to me, so I won't bring it to you, and let you abuse me today." Turning to look at Xu Xingxing, "Little Xingxing, I want Eat Roujiamo and add an egg."

Xu Xingxing smiled: "Okay."

"Xingxing, go take a shower, the lights are about to turn off," Wang Sheng said, "Huh? Isn't your umbrella on the table? Why are your clothes dry? I was thinking about whether to send you an umbrella, but it turned out After one game is scumbag, it is forgotten, one game after another, it really delays people."

"Little Xingxing is so popular, do you still need your umbrella?" Zhang Tianle rolled his eyes, then turned to ask Xu Xingxing, "Little Xingxing must have come back with the beauty, right?"

"No," Xu Xingxing tidied up, "It's Li Nan's senior, he brought an umbrella." After speaking, he walked into the bathroom.

"Senior Li Nan is really kind to you..."

"I heard that senior Li Nan seems to have published another SCI." Zhang Tianle said.

"How do you know?" Yang Cheng asked casually.

"My graduation thesis advisor is his advisor," Zhang Tianle said vaguely after chewing something, "I heard from the seniors and seniors in the laboratory."

"Ah, what a great god..."

……

Xu Xingxing turned off the lights as soon as he got out of the shower. He climbed into bed and was about to draw the curtains. After thinking about it, he opened the window and looked down. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, so he had to close the window again and closed it. Curtains, and then lie comfortably on the bed.

The gurgling sound of rain outside the window was very comfortable to listen to, and it also had a hypnotic effect. Lying on the bed, Xu Xingxing thought of the man in black he met downstairs in the dormitory just now. Those cold eyes and indifferent expression seemed to penetrate A certain taste of loneliness.

It seems a little mysterious.

Xu Xingxing gradually fell asleep after thinking about it, and the sound of rain outside the window was still pattering.

In the dark rainy night, there was a pair of eyes on the branch of the big tree outside the window staring in a certain direction, like a Zen monk in meditation, motionless, with an umbrella lying in his arms.

Those eyes seemed to see through the rainy night, but they seemed to be unable to see through anything, confused, deep, and lonely.
