sunk in yesterday

Xia Zhuo felt that Guan Yuzhou was simply seducing herself on purpose.

He couldn't resist the other party talking to him in this tone, the lowered voice seemed to run over his body without leaving any gaps, and every tiny pore trembled accordingly.That kind of invisible electric current enters the body along the ears, which can instantly make people lose their armor and armor until half of their body is numb.

"You are so annoying." He muttered, and said viciously: "Of course I have to take it back, just wait."

Guan Yuzhou laughed out loud. He loved seeing Xia Zhuo light up his claws and fangs. That kind of angry expression filled the hole in his heart for so long, allowing him to throw away all his troubles and worries. behind the head.

He raised his hands as a sign of surrender: "Okay, let it go."

Mr. Wei's full name is Wei Jiaxiang. According to his self-introduction, his hometown is far away from his current work place. His parents hoped that he could have a solid job as a teacher, so he finally chose this profession.

He is amiable, or to put it more bluntly, this is the aborigine that Xia Zhuo has felt closest to for so long.When it comes to professional knowledge, he talks eloquently, but once someone praises him, he will shut his mouth in embarrassment and change the subject with a red face.

"This is where the students usually go to class."

Wei Jiaxiang led them into the interior of the teaching building. Some well-known quotes were printed on the white tiled walls, and the list of outstanding members of the last semester was also hung in a prominent position, and more than half of them were from class one.

He deliberately lowered his voice, it was not obvious in the empty corridor, but it made the surroundings eerily quiet, even the sound of cloth rubbing was amplified.

Xia Zhuo has no memories of his school days, but his knowledge of his school days still exists.

He thinks that the classroom should be noisy, and the restless young life is curious about the big world outside all the time, even if the book is pressed under the elbow, the eyes are already looking out the window.

But now the scene in front of my eyes is completely different from what I imagined. Looking into the classroom through the transparent glass window, there are only scattered students in the six or seven rows of seats, and they huddle around with their heads buried. In the corner, motionless as if asleep.

Wei Jiaxiang seemed to be used to these things, but his eyes were full of distress and relief. After passing the corner stairs, he walked up and said to them: "The ones on the first floor are classes one to three, and the other four to six are on the third floor. I am leading it alone, and now that you are here, you have helped me a lot, just choose one class for every two people."

Xia Zhuo quickly counted the number of people, plus he happened to have ten people, and each of the remaining five classes was divided equally between two people, no more and no less, the dream was simply calculated.

He raised his head and looked up: "What's on the second floor?"

"In addition to the office, there is also the infirmary and activity room. Courses such as chemistry and physics that require experiments are occasionally taught in the activity room."

It was no different from the structure of all schools, and Wei Jiaxiang didn't intend to take them around carefully from beginning to end.The only thing that people are more concerned about is that the door of the activity room is locked. For this, he said that there are many utensils in it for fear of being touched by students, and they will only be opened when experiments are needed.

"The third floor is the same as the first floor. There are only three classes and bathrooms. Let me take you to the cafeteria so that you can have dinner in the evening. The apartment is only 200 meters away from the cafeteria. It's very close. Everyone has had a hard time traveling today. , go back and have a good rest, and start working again tomorrow.”

As soon as they heard that there was food to eat, several participants clamored happily to go.The less money spent in the dream world the better for them, and so far the atmosphere has been relaxed and they are indeed hungry.

Xia Zhuo was actually more interested in the sixth class on the third floor, but he couldn't go against the current alone, so he could only restrain himself and follow the crowd at the end.

Guan Yuzhou squeezed his palm, "Is there any problem?"

Xia Zhuo nodded hesitantly, and looked at the aborigine whose back had almost disappeared at the turning, "It feels a little strange."

"It's strange."

"I talked to the driver on the way up, and a student died in Class Six."

Guan Yuzhou was thoughtful: "Class six?"

"Yes, it's upstairs." Xia Zhuo pointed to the top of his head, "But Wei Jiaxiang hasn't said a word about it until now, and even gave me the illusion that... he deliberately avoided Class Six."

"Maybe it's not an illusion." Guan Yuzhou said: "I communicated with him before you arrived at the door. His language is fine, but his eyes seem to be evasive, especially when I asked why so many teachers were recruited in a hurry, and why so many teachers left. , he looked away twice during the period."

"What is his reason?"

"It was the teachers in the city who couldn't accept the environment on the mountain, so they discussed with each other and left together to find a new job."

Xia Zhuo chuckled: "How likely do you think it is?"

Guan Yuzhou raised a finger: "It's less than this number."

"That means there must be some reason for the death of the student in Class Six. I heard that he was hanged on a tree. If he died, he must have committed suicide or homicide. The more the school tries to conceal it, the less simple the reason will be."

"Well, the primary goal now is to find out the cause of the student's death. You said before that every dream may revolve around a person, so the fastest way to promote the plot is to find this central point among so many aborigines , you can avoid a lot of detours and avoid a lot of trouble.”

Xia Zhuo agreed with this, and nodded his head twice: "We have to act alone after going to the apartment, and come to Class Six to find clues. Since it is difficult to start with teachers or school leaders, we can try to ask students, they His reaction was totally out of the ordinary and he clearly knew something terrible had happened."

Guan Yuzhou repeated casually: "A terrible thing?"

"Because if it's just ordinary students committing suicide, they should still study as usual. High school students should be very energetic. They won't be easily bound by one thing. They will always do things and think wildly. The discussion behind the scenes should not be so lifeless now." Xia Zhuo paused slightly, and said: "And, did you notice the three classes we passed by just now? More than half of the students in each class left, and the rest All the students below are sitting against the wall, and there is no one in the middle of the blackboard, under what circumstances do you think people would want something to lean on their backs?"

Guan Yuzhou's eyes were deep, and he replied without hesitation: "When you feel scared."

I can't wait to lock myself in a closed box, leaving only a gap to peek outside.Because I don't know where the source of fear is wandering, and behind it is the most dangerous blind spot of vision.

Xia Zhuo snapped his fingers, bent his eyes and smiled: "Bingo!"

Facing that smiling face, Guan Yuzhou suddenly stretched out his hand, covering the corner of his eyes with his thumb.

After returning from Jiecheng's place, he fell into short-term fear.He actually didn't think about anything when he was sitting by the bed, but when he got to the empty home, the huge emptiness and silence swallowed him up in an instant.

He had a nightmare. In the dream, the person lying on the bed turned into Xia Zhuo, who was still smiling brightly and saying good night to him at the first second, but the rising and falling of his chest stopped at dawn in the next scene.

When he opened his eyes, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat.

So he once again shortened the time to fall asleep, eager to find the most effective tranquilizer.

The dry touch on the face continuously transmits the temperature to the skin. Even after a more in-depth understanding, Xia Zhuo seems to still retain the innocence when he is passive. After staring, his ears gradually turn red. "what?"

Guan Yuzhou noticed his reaction and smiled gently, as if he was sorry for his behavior of not saying hello: "I can't hold it back, because you are so cute when you think about things seriously."

"What, I'm not cute when I'm not thinking?"

"I just used the word 'special'."

"Hmph, just pick words with me..." Xia Zhuo puffed up her face, grabbed the handrail and ran down the stairs, quickly blending into the crowd in three steps at a time.

Once the feeling is endowed with the word "like", no matter how thick the skin is, it will be carefully polished layer by layer with sandpaper until it reaches the point where it will just blush and heartbeat.

Guan Yuzhou raised his eyebrows. Only then did his facial features come alive, as if they were usually suppressed by talisman paper.From behind, he saw Xia Zhuo turned his head and made a face at himself, and walked happily to follow.

There is a fountain built in front of the cafeteria, but there is no drop of water in the pool, and it seems that it has not been used for a long time.When passing by, Wei Jiaxiang said in distress and embarrassment: "This fountain has been broken since three months ago. Maybe something blocked the pipe. But you have also seen that there is a shortage of manpower in the school now, and only I can pick the most important things to do, but the repairs have to be postponed again and again. I want to get it right, but I can't squeeze out so much time and energy..."

"Then don't you want to correct the homework of six classes by yourself, and there are so many subjects, I really don't know how your school..." One person seemed to want to complain, but felt that the words were inappropriate, and changed his words abruptly : "I don't know how you are so busy to come here, it's really hard work haha."

"It's nothing. They use their evening self-study to teach them their homework. As teachers, we can only play a supporting role. It depends on them personally if they really want to go out."

"Is there still PE class now?"

Wei Jiaxiang shook his head: "Even the exercises between classes have been cancelled."

The tall, thin man wearing glasses exclaimed in surprise: "Why? Sitting motionless in the classroom all day long, this [-] social animal can't stand it."

Judging by the tone of voice, it should be a typical beater who is deeply poisoned and oppressed by modern society.

"It's not that we deliberately deprived students of their right to activity..." Wei Jiaxiang hesitated to speak, his expression turned ugly for a moment, and he added the words after organizing his words: "It's just that the students themselves don't want to leave the classroom, and maybe they can The college entrance examination is three months away, and they want to devote all their time to studying."

The thin and tall man rolled his eyes, he didn't believe his words at all, he tilted his head and muttered that he didn't know what to say to his companion.

All the participants are more or less aware that something is wrong. The scene I just saw outside the class is still lingering in my mind. The weird atmosphere seems to be wrapped in a layer of chill. The more it pricks, the colder the scalp.

Thoughts were inextricably twisted into piles, everyone quieted down, their nerves gradually tightened, and they stared at the cafeteria door that was getting closer and closer, vigilant and careful.

The interior is much darker than the outside, and it gets dark early in winter, and the lights in the hall have not been turned on at this point, so the environment seems a bit depressing.

Blue and orange staggered plastic chairs are arranged between the silver-gray metal long tables, and the sign saying "rice porridge is free" is probably freshly pasted on the wall. Anyway, the pictures are for reference only. These words have been engraved into their DNA, just like they also know that it is impossible to eat red wine steak in this cafeteria.

A young girl was cleaning the table, and she turned her head when she heard the sound, revealing a white face: "Teacher Wei? Are you here so early today?" She looked at the group of people following behind, and understood Come over: "You brought them to visit the campus, right?"

"Yes." Wei Jiaxiang smiled back, and introduced to them: "This is Bing Yan, a high-achieving student who just graduated from the Department of Management. There are quite a lot of young guys among you. If you are single, you can chase them. We are kind and kind." Miss Bing."

"What kind of high-achieving student, now the canteen and dormitory are in charge of logistics." Bing Yan automatically ignored the second half of his sentence, showing no interest in it, and only greeted everyone plainly: "I won't say anything extra, anyway, Come to me if you need anything in your life.”

The end of her voice was covered by the bell for the end of class, Wei Jiaxiang hurriedly looked down at his watch, and was about to leave in a hurry, "I have to go back to the office to pack up the materials for the next class, Xiaoyan, see if there is any food for them now , and then I would like to ask you to take them to the dormitory building for me, the principal said that I have to ask you to arrange the dormitory and let them go to bed early today."

Bing Yan focused her eyes on the group of people without focus, and she was silent for a moment before agreeing: "Okay, you can go."

She was different from Wei Jiaxiang, she didn't want to talk too much, so she just said "sit casually", turned around and walked towards the back kitchen.A few people looked at each other and tentatively came to help, and wanted to take this opportunity to see if the back kitchen had any clues, but she asked them not to make trouble with eyes behind her back, her tone was cold and impersonal , Straight to force those "young lads" back.

Xia Zhuo and Guan Yuzhou picked a table and sat down facing each other, thinking that there might be a second girl in her 20s in charge of logistics here?At present, he doesn't think that Bing Yan and the driver's "enthusiasm" have anything to do with each other, but maybe the driver's news is also false.

"What are you looking at?" Guan Yuzhou saw him staring at someone's back in a daze, and tapped the table with his knuckles.

Xia Zhuo turned around and smiled at him naturally, "Sit here, I feel like I'm back in my school days."

Guan Yuzhou was distracted by his words, and in a trance, he saw that the face of the person opposite him was a few years younger again.Something rubbed against his calf under the table, Xia Zhuo held his chin, and smiled maliciously: "This classmate, do you want to have a chance to go to the classroom together, sit in the back row and secretly hold hands?"

Guan Yuzhou reached down with his hand, grabbed the messy foot, and said without changing his face: "By the way, let's go to the grove together?"

The matter of drilling the grove was also proposed by Xia Zhuo back then. To be honest, some unharmonious images always flashed in the minds of these boys. At that time, they had not dated. A piece of past life.

Although he never thought that he would fall in love with someone of the same sex one day, but when he watched the beautiful boy propose with a smirk with bright eyes under the moon, he admitted that he was confused.

He still remembers that kind of joy and carelessness, so he nodded in agreement, and the two walked quietly along the dark road, as if they had their own thoughts.When approaching the bright light at the end, the distance of half a meter between them was quickly shortened by a shorter person. With a small "pop", the boy's face became slightly clearer, innocent and with a kind of unconcealable innocence. Sly, behind the noise of people coming and going, he explained: "I think that mosquito is going to bite you, so I will kill you for you."

When he said this, the warm hand kept sticking to the back of his hand and did not move away. The slight tide showed that the other party might be nervous, or maybe it was really too hot, and he used summer to hide all his thoughts , but also used Xia Tian to tell all his thoughts.

He somewhat forgot what he was thinking at that time, maybe he was so impulsive that he wanted to bow his head to kiss her, or maybe he was surprised why his heartbeat was so fast that he couldn't control it.The two stood there with their palms against the backs of their hands for an unknown amount of time. The students on the road outside changed from batch to batch. If someone passed by suddenly along the way, they would definitely find their postures weird and ambiguous.

"Oh, no, I was really bitten!" In the end, it was Xia Zhuo's exclamation that broke up the atmosphere, scratching his arms and retreating to the side, complaining that the mosquitoes outside were not as gentle as the ones raised at home.He seemed to be full of bad intentions, and when he got it, he took a quick step back, just trying to make people take the bait.

And Guan Yuzhou knew well that he was already hooked.
