Night Labyrinth

Shuling hates that I like He Lin without self-respect, I have always known this.

So when I called just now, I didn't mention Song Qian's living in the dormitory to her.

Because based on my previous dark history of "nothing is not He Lin" and Shuling's understanding of me, if she knows that such a sensitive existence as "He Lin's lower bunk" has appeared, she will definitely know that I am reborn because of this. I remembered something I shouldn't have remembered.

I was thinking of finishing the call and pretending nothing happened, but I didn't want Song Qian to drop a puppet by mistake and make me scream out loud.

"Oh, Sister Song Qian is coming here today to do some business. She originally planned to leave at night, but some procedures had to be postponed until tomorrow, so she had to stay for an extra day. She went back to school to have a look, so she stayed in our dormitory by the way. gone."

I hurriedly answered honestly, explained in as much detail as possible, and deliberately increased the volume in order to increase credibility.

I spoke very loudly, using volume to express how serious and righteous I am at this moment.

You see, the reason I can speak loudly is that I have no ghosts in my heart.

But I forgot that such deliberateness is precisely the most abnormal thing.

"Song Qian? Who is Song Qian... Oh, He Lin's roommate, right?" Shu Ling's voice was first puzzled and then suddenly realized.

But I don't know if it's because of my guilty conscience, I just think she said that on purpose, and her voice clearly suppressed her anger.

"Well," I was embarrassed to be mentioned by her so directly, "it's our senior sister that fellow villagers will know."

"Oh, you didn't tell me just now." Shuling asked seemingly unintentionally, and I suddenly became nervous.

"Just, ah, I just wanted to tell you, but I haven't had time yet."

It's over, I was so flustered that I stuttered!

"Well, I don't worry if someone is with you."

I don't know what to answer, my palms are already sweating.

After a pause of two seconds, Shu Ling spoke first.

"I didn't see it was 09:30 just now, and it's not too early. You should wash up quickly, and the lights will be turned off soon."

The anger in Shuling's voice seemed to have calmed down, but it was still a little low.

"Well. Then you should go to bed early, and you have to go to work tomorrow."

I know my voice must be dull too.

"Goodbye."

Shu Ling said that directly, instead of saying goodbye like usual.

I was a little uncomfortable with this change, so I shook my head before answering, "Well, goodbye."

And after I finished saying "goodbye", Shu Ling hung up the phone directly.

I didn't say "good night" today, we used to say it every day...

I thought in a trance, feeling depressed for a while.

Originally I was thinking about how to bring the topic back to He Lin's "love", but now I was hesitant to speak.

I picked up the toiletries and went to the bathroom. After some cleaning, I got a little relief from the countless times of flying and falling throughout the day.

Back in the dormitory, I put the washbasin in place, and then started to pat the toner vigorously.

Song Qian looked down at me from the bed, "Hey, by the way, where were we talking just now?"

I didn't expect Song Qian to take the initiative to speak up, and she stopped her movements in surprise, "He Lin's love...ah... no, I don't have time to fall in love after work, so what will He Lin say."

"Well, yes, guess what she said?" Song Qian raised her lips.

bang!bang!

My heart beat wildly again.

calm down.

Saying nothing will have nothing to do with you.

I warned myself so.

"What are you talking about? I can't guess." I replied dumbly.

"Guess, guess." Song Qian acted coquettishly.

"Did she say she wants to fall in love?" I tried my best to make my voice sound calm, but there was a twinge of pain in my heart.

"You're half right. What's more, let's guess again." Song Qian's smile was a little cunning.

"Also, still want to get married?" I restrained my emotions.

"Wrong!" Song Qian made a big "X" in front of her chest with both hands, "Forget it, let me tell you."

"When I was on the phone that day, I talked about love. I laughed at her for four years in college and didn't talk about one. Then she said that it's a pity to think about it now. At that time, she rejected others. Depending on the situation, I might agree."

I looked at Song Qian in astonishment, speechless.

"How is it? Isn't it scary? I've never heard her say this before?" Song Qian leaned closer to me again, "I asked who she was and she didn't say anything, and then hung up the phone if something happened. After that Just ignore me if you ask me again. Do you know who it is? Could it be from your studio?"

"I do not know."

who is it?

Rejected by He Lin?

Even Song Qian doesn't know?

She won't say if it's because...

That person is a girl, that person... is me!

"It's a pity. She said that if she agreed now, she would probably agree. I want to ask for her."

She said she would agree!

Would agree now!

"When did this happen?" I swallowed.

"Hmm..." Song Qian thought about it, "It's been a long time... about a month ago."

It's not too late, there's still hope!

"Actually, there is one thing He Lin won't let me tell others, but it should be fine after so long. I'll tell you secretly, but you have to keep it a secret from her."

Song Qian's voice was like the temptation of a poisonous snake, spit out the letter in the quiet bedroom, making my brain unable to think, only tightly bound by the net made up by excitement and anxiety.

clang……

clang……

clang……

clang……

……

The big clock near the campus struck 22.

In the next second, the ceiling lights of the entire dormitory building went out at the same time, and the room was plunged into darkness.
