reverse trapping

Cheng Mu's head sank, and he fell asleep.

In the dream, he was sitting in the noodle shop called "Taste of Memory".

The afternoon sun was just right, most of it was blocked by the lush phoenix trees by the window.But there is always light passing through the obstacles of the branches and leaves, and pouring down from the window.

Cheng Mu waited boredly, his fingertips turning repeatedly among the mottled beams of light on the table.

"Come on~"

Holding a large plastic tray, the boss walked slowly to Cheng Muze's dining table.

Cheng Mu rubbed his hands expectantly, and couldn't wait to take his bowl of noodles.

Looking at the complete side dishes in the bowl, Cheng Mu looked up at the boss and smiled, "Uncle, are you dizzy from work? I told you just now that I don't want carrots."

The boss smiled embarrassedly: "Look at Uncle's memory, Uncle will make a new bowl for you, and Uncle will eat this bowl by himself."

Cheng Mu hurriedly pressed down the boss's hand holding the bowl, and shook his head slightly: "That's not okay, I can't wait for such delicious fried noodles, I just pick it out."

"Hey, good." The boss let go of his hand, "Uncle will definitely remember next time."

Then, the boss picked up another bowl from the tray and handed it to the seat opposite Cheng Muze: "Eat quickly, I'll fill you up if you don't have enough noodles."

Cheng Mu picked up the disposable chopsticks, and just raised his hand, the other pair of chopsticks touched the carrot shreds before him.

The chopsticks carefully picked up the pinch of bright orange, and the owner of the chopsticks did not speak until the last shredded carrot was taken away.

"Okay."

The voice was soft, overwhelmed by the sound of bicycle bells passing by outside the window.

Cheng Mu raised the corners of his mouth and quickly stirred the chopsticks to evenly mix the sauce.

"I'll eat it first, you should try it too, I won't lie to you, this noodle is really amazing."

Outside the window, several little boys playing football passed by, running noisily under the plane tree.

A gust of wind blows, bringing the moist air and the unique woody fragrance of the sycamore tree, which is intoxicating.

"Will you come with me next time?"

For a long time, Cheng Mu didn't wait for an answer.

He looked up again, the bowl of fried noodles on the table was still steaming, but the person who was supposed to eat the noodles had disappeared.

"Om-"

The long vibration of the alarm bell announces the arrival of morning.Cheng Mu opened his eyes, looking at the pale ceiling with a sense of loss.

Since returning to Tsumatsu City, he often has dreams about the past.

Most of those dreams were real, and when he was in them, he couldn't even tell whether they were illusions or things that had happened in the past.

And every time he wakes up, those dreams will be pulled out of his mind at the speed of light, leaving only some empty and real feelings, burning gaps in his heart.

At this moment, an unprecedented sense of emptiness was eroding him.

Cheng Muze's arm slid down the edge of the sofa, and his fingertips slid across the floor, but accidentally touched something.He looked down and saw the business card lying on the floor.

The name of Shen Jinzhi came into Cheng Muze's eyes, reminding him of the scene of Chen Jiao's confession.

The deep-buried sourness leaked down and flowed into the gap of the sense of loss, filling Cheng Muze's pain.

Cheng Mu withdrew his hand and raised it to block his sight.

He moved his lips slightly, and said to himself: "Do you know that I'm still looking for you?"

·

Cheng Mu hardly indulged in a certain emotion for a long time. After the depression in the morning passed, he quickly adjusted himself.

Of course, he didn't forget another important thing - continue to follow Shen Jinzhi.

Cheng Mu got off the bus at the bus stop in front of the main entrance of Jinsong University, walked slowly into the campus, and stopped at the downstairs of the main building.

If memory serves me, all business school faculty offices are located in this building.

If he waits here, he should be able to squat down to Professor Shen.

To be honest, he has little experience marking people.

When observing Chen Jiao before, he also relied on chance encounters.After all, if you keep following a girl, you really look like a pervert with malicious intentions.

But if it's a man, it should be fine...

At this moment, two students walked past him, chatting gossip in a low voice.

"Hey? Did you watch the news yesterday?"

"What news?"

"It's just that there is a man in the park next to our school. He has been following our school's male classmates recently, and even molested them when they weren't paying attention. As a result, he was beaten and hospitalized yesterday."

"You deserve it, pervert."

When the key words of their conversation came to Cheng Muze's ears, he felt several arrows shot in the back, and each arrow was coated with a poison called "embarrassment".

Cheng Mu cleared his throat embarrassingly, avoided the main building with eyes dodged, and left angrily.

He didn't raise his eyes stiffly until he confirmed that he could no longer see the main building.

Thinking of his behavior just now, Cheng Mu comforted himself in a low voice: "Following Professor Shen is not for taking advantage, it shouldn't be considered a pervert..."

But no matter what, following Professor Shen would not work.Cheng Mu sat on the bench under the tree, thinking about what to do next.

Seeing the students rushing to class while eating breakfast, Cheng Mu had an inspiration.

It's not perverted to go to class, right?

He took out his mobile phone, found the class schedule that Qin Yi had sent him before, and glanced at the subjects with Shen Jinzhi's name printed on it.

But unfortunately, not today.

Cheng Mu had no choice but to give up temporarily, and he sat for a while before returning to his studio.

The morning passed quickly, and it was noon in the blink of an eye.

There are only a few pictures left in this batch, and Cheng Mu plans to work hard and fix all of them before going to dinner.

The phone vibrated repeatedly, and Cheng Mu glanced at it.

Qin Yi's news came like a cannonball, and he warmly invited him to have lunch.

Cheng Mu didn't like to change the work plan temporarily, and typed the words of refusal in the dialog box, but suddenly thought that Shen Jinzhi was going to eat soon.

He glanced at the specific time, deleted the original words and replied "OK".

Cheng Mu put on the watch placed in front of the table, saved most of the pictures, and left in a hurry.

As meal time approached, Cheng Mu quickened his pace, but hesitated before the fork in the road.

There are so many canteens in the school, he doesn't know which one Shen Jinzhi will go to.

The bell for the end of get out of class did not give him any room to think, and the students poured out of the teaching building in a single file.

The empty road almost turned into a bicycle racing field, and Cheng Mu retreated a few steps to the side to avoid their striving for the first place.

He continued walking, and finally chose a direction where the cafeterias were more dense.

At this time, Qin Yi sent a message saying that they were delayed and would arrive later.

Cheng Mu didn't take it too seriously, he stood at the intersection of three canteens, waiting for the possibility of meeting Shen Jinzhi.

The flow of people changed from crowded to sparse, while Cheng Mu was still waiting patiently without any anxiety.

After all, in the past few years of landscape photography, he often has to wait a long time for some ideal light and shadow.No matter how impetuous the edges and corners are, they will be wiped away by this kind of waiting.

He waited quietly until the expectant figure appeared in his field of vision, and then there was light in his calm eyes.

Not far away, Shen Jinzhi was walking, talking and laughing happily with the people beside him.

Cheng Mu took half a step forward, but suddenly froze when he saw the person next to him clearly.

The girl walking side by side with Shen Jinzhi was none other than Chen Jiao.

Behind him, a hand patted his shoulder gently.

Qin Yi raised his voice and said, "If you don't go in first, what are you doing standing here?"

Cheng Mu stared at the two of them intently, his heart was blocked by many invisible plugs, blocking his normal heart rate.

"I'll go..." Qin Yi exclaimed in bewilderment, "How could the two of them become like normal people so quickly?"

Cheng Mu licked the tips of his teeth, and fixed his eyes on them: "Come on, let's go to that cafeteria to eat."

"Hey, hey." Qin Yi hurriedly grabbed his arm, "Cheng, take care, that's the faculty cafeteria, we can't get in."

"..."

The plug in his heart tightened even tighter.

Cheng Mu just watched them walk into the iron-blue door of the cafeteria and disappeared from his sight.

Qin Yi, however, bumped into him quite happily: "Yo? You look a little better. It turns out that you are not afraid of stimulation, but you have a hard protective layer. You smashed that layer yesterday, and today you are enlightened. I know I'm jealous. There is help, there is help, Dad is very pleased."

Cheng Mu remained silent, not answering Qin Yi's words.

Qin Yi is still trying to die: "I didn't say, did your brain get disturbed or your mouth was burned yesterday at the noodle shop? If you behave like that in front of your rival in love, you won't be ashamed."

Qin Yiyue talked more and more vigorously, while Cheng Mu simply took out a business card from his pocket, stuffed it straight into his hand, and walked forward without looking back.

Qin Yi paused, and turned over the business card that was upside down in his hand.

"When the car is repaired, you can find Shen Jinzhi to get it yourself."

Cheng Muze's words made no waves, but they were like a bomb dropped in Qin Yi's mind.Holding a business card like a reminder, Qin Yi hurriedly followed his footsteps: "Brother~Brother Cheng, I was wrong! I invite you to dinner!"

Ten minutes later, Cheng Mu looked at the fried rice in front of him, frowned and said, "The rice you invited me to eat is the fried rice from the second canteen?"

"It's not the second canteen for a long time, now it's the first canteen, what year is your old almanac?"

Cheng Mu froze.

It has been three years since he left here, everything is changing, the things in the past are changing, the people in the past are gone, and even cruelly, he has not even left a single memory.

"Brother Qin, can you share a table?"

The voice beside him interrupted Cheng Muze's emotion, it seemed that Qin Yi's classmates wanted to share the table with them.

Qin Yi raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Muze tentatively: "Brother, is it all right?"

"Now you know how to ask me."

Cheng Mu pointed to Qin Yi taking him to the dinner without saying a word last night, and asked the male classmate to sit down instead.

The boy was a little familiar, and he started a conversation with Cheng Muze as soon as he sat down: "Are you a senior?"

Qin Yi took over the conversation: "I, Brother Cheng, graduated from our university before, and now I am a professional photographer."

"Professional photographer? Interesting, isn't it?"

Cheng Mu nodded symbolically and agreed.

Seeing that Cheng Mu didn't talk much, the boy turned to look at Qin Yi: "Brother Qin, guess what new things I discovered?"

Qin Yi responded: "Huh?"

"When I passed by the teacher's lounge, I heard Teacher Shen say that he scratched someone else's car."

Qin Yi let out a "huh": "So?"

"You didn't come to the class team building last year. You didn't know. At that time, two students missed the unified departure time. Teacher Shen brought them here by car. Then there was an embarrassing problem-there was no parking space at the entrance of the scenic spot.

"The students searched for it for a while, but they found one, but the front and rear cars were very tightly clamped, probably because no one could park in, so the parking space was abnormally empty. As a result, Teacher Shen came down to take a look, He just backed into the parking space neatly, and the three cars were unharmed, and his driving skills are amazing."

Qin Yi snorted disdainfully: "If you really said it so brilliantly, he could still hit me—other people's car?"

The boy took a bite of his meal: "People make mistakes, horses make mistakes, that's why it's fresh."

Cheng Mu listened to the conversation between the two while eating, and the phone vibrated again.

On the notification bar, an unsaved number sent a text message: "The car has been repaired, do you have time tonight?"
