When the law of conservation of isolation is broken

Joad, who was standing at the door, lowered his head, and their eyes met.The doorbell fell silent, and instead, Zhang Luotuo heard something "buzzing" in the air outside the window.

When Maomao saw the person coming, he screamed "Jiu", and his cheeks were discouraged.It couldn't wait to take off from Zhang Luotuo's shoulder and land on Joad's shoulder, the pink feather rubbed against his neck tirelessly.Joad didn't have time to dodge, he froze in place, letting Maomao rotate 360 ​​degrees on his shoulder.Zhang Luotuo noticed that his ears turned red all of a sudden, but he didn't ask Zhang Luotuo to hug Mao Mao down, nor did he shake him off, which meant that he acquiesced to this behavior.

Zhang Luotuo froze at the door.He didn't react until Joad frowned.

"Come in." Zhang Luotuo stammered, and took a step back, his back hurt - hit the cabinet.Joad stared at him calmly, and took off his leather shoes on his own. They were stained by rain, and the waterproof fibers gleamed under the night light.Zhang Luotuo walked into the kitchen in a panic and poured a cup of tea for Joad, but he noticed that Joad put down the cup after taking a sip. Joad was obviously not used to this kind of cheap tea, his tongue was always very keen.When Joad was drinking tea, Zhang Luotuo secretly hugged the drowsy Mao Mao from Joad's shoulder. It snored like a human sneeze, and he put it back in its own toy house.After doing all this, he was idle and had to sit opposite Joad, looking at him.

"Are you here...?" Zhang Luotuo put his hands behind his back, gently scratched his nails, and initiated a conversation.But he didn't know what to ask, his mind went blank, he thought for a while, and changed the way of asking, "You know I live here?" He regretted it just after he finished speaking, of course Joad knew His address is written in the company's database.

Qiao De was looking at Zhang Luotuo's room calmly, as if looking at a pocket house - Zhang Luotuo knew this place very well, thirty square meters in size, brown walls, messy tables, and the smell of fresh wood in the air.After hearing his question, he lowered his head, took out something from his windbreaker, and put it on the table.

It was a black box, round, and very heavy. Zhang Luotuo picked it up and understood at a glance—it was marked as Teresa Teng’s record, with her name and photo printed on it, in Chinese, in black letters, and well packaged. .

"I brought it to you," Joad said.He didn't understand why he came to give this, and Zhang Luotuo didn't understand, but Qiao De just appeared here suddenly, with Teresa Teng's record.He took the record in bewilderment. It had a thick texture, and the circular arcs on the record were amazing.

"...thank you?" he thought for a moment, still a little confused, and blinked.

Joad didn't seem to take this thank you seriously. He put down the cup of cold tea and stood up quickly: "Then I'm leaving." Zhang Luotuo looked at the back of Joad, feeling confused. This battle was too abrupt, it came and went quickly, and it was all just for a record.He opened his mouth, wanting to say something to stay, but he didn't know how to say it - "Sweet Honey" was flowing behind them.This reminded him of Joad sitting in the main pilot on the spaceship, playing this song.

He said, "Is the record you gave me "Sweet Honey"?"

Joad looked back at Zhang Luotuo in surprise, his hair was still dripping: "Yes." Joad said, always in a sarcastic tone.Water dripped on the floor, Zhang Luotuo decided to wipe it off later.

Zhang Luotuo licked his lips: "I want to play this record, why don't we go after listening to one." He didn't know what to say, and shrugged at Joad.

Joad didn't speak, silence filled the air, his expression looked strange, like a combination of hesitation and reluctance, as if something had been exposed.Zhang Luotuo began to feel a little regretful, maybe he shouldn't be so abrupt.Joad paused to get up just to block the narrow signal of the electronic music machine, Teresa Teng's vague singing stopped, and there was a sudden silence between them, only the sound of rain could be heard.In the flowing air, the similar "buzzing" sound heard at the door reached Zhang Camel's ears, sounding like flies.

Joad stepped back and sat back on the couch.The signal of the electronic music machine was connected again, and after the sound of "Zizi", Teresa Teng began to sing again, and the inexplicable buzzing sound disappeared into the air.

Zhang Luotuo understood what Qiao De meant, and he agreed.He smiled slightly at Joad.But Joad turned his head away, out of his sight.But Zhang Luotuo doesn't care much about this now, he stood up.

On the electronic music machine, Teresa Teng's "Sweet Honey" singing is vague and hoarse, intermittent, like a missing data code.

The clarity of her songs found on the Internet is not very good.Zhang Luotuo stepped forward, turned off the electronic music play button, took out the record in the black box, and put it into the electronic music machine.The Internet and local delivery are the two main channels through which the electronic music machine survives.The electronic music machine immediately began to read data and made a creaking sound.Zhang Luotuo squinted and watched it read the data and files one by one.At first Zhang Luotuo thought it was impossible, the screen flickered, and occasionally numbers popped up, and the blue screen turned black, as if poisoned.But five seconds later, the blue screen returned to normal, and a colorful message popped up, indicating that the transmission to the network began.Soon, the data transmission was completed, the disk stopped spinning, and there was a moment of silence in the room.

A sizzle sounded, and after a short pause, the prelude overflowed, the clear singing flashed blue light, and the wave of music flooded into the room.

Zhang Luotuo took the black box and sat down on the left side of the sofa. Joad was on the other side of the sofa, and Joad was on the other side of the sofa, one meter away from him.Joad's expression was rarely calm in the singing.Zhang Luotuo glanced at him, and Joad noticed it. He glanced back at Zhang Luotuo, but there was no irony. The blue light covered the corners of his cold lips, and his eyes slipped from Zhang Luotuo to the black box in his hand. on, just keep silent.

Zhang Luotuo guessed that it might be because of the song, it is very difficult to satirize others in the song.The quality of the songs on the record is ten times better than those on the Internet, and Zhang Luotuo can clearly hear every breath in the song.Zhang Luotuo leaned gently on the sofa. At this moment of silence, he raised his head and let the singing voice cover his body, creating a trance illusion, as if the sofa was an isolated island, the South Pole or the North Pole that had disappeared. Coexisting above, music entrained with blue light bursts, they are companions at this moment, there are no disputes, allergies, etc.Only golden singing voices swirled like layers of data, quickly covering them.

In the distance, the white billboard outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is burning, and the machine is running, which occasionally causes the sound of electricity. Her singing dances among these cold and ruthless things, and its power is greatly increased, which intensifies the sentimentality of the rainy night.

Zhang Luotuo looked at the ceiling, there were many fluorescent lights gathered on it, flickering because of the reflection of rainwater on the windows, the singing made him calm, reminding him of the noon of naps.

Zhang Luotuo didn't know when the song ended.Teresa Teng's singing gradually weakened, the record stopped spinning, and the sound of the rain outside the window continued to increase.The blue light reflected on Joad's face on the electronic music screen flickered, gradually becoming nothing.

After the singing disappeared completely, there was a rustling sound from the sofa on the side.Zhang Luotuo turned his head away.Joad was standing up, the song was over, and he was about to leave.

"Are you leaving?" Zhang Luotuo propped himself up and also stood up.Joad walked quickly. He picked up the windbreaker and had already arrived at the door. He began to put on his leather shoes. It seemed that he didn't want to stay with Zhang Luotuo, or Zhang Luotuo felt that he was running away.Zhang Luotuo was very confused—it seemed that Joad’s whole purpose was to give him a record, and he thought it would be no big deal even if it was given to him in the company. Of course, Joad probably didn’t want the company’s people, Especially the people in the management department knew that they had contacted each other.

The sound of the door being opened, and the wind blowing in from the corridor.

"The risk of going out at midnight is 20.00%." ​​The smart doorbell reminded Joad, and then began to repeat the second time.

boom.

Zhang Luotuo didn't even have time to speak, the door flew shut.He stood there, blinking awkwardly.If it weren't for the rain on the ground and the black box in his hand, Zhang Luotuo almost suspected that Joad's coming here was just his own illusion.

The electronic music machine behind it hummed: "The record has been stuck for too long, the record has been stuck for too long." The red warning light came on, and the blue screen blinked.Zhang Luotuo came back to his senses.His electronic music machine had a problem recently. It would not eject automatically after a record was played, but instead sent a reminder to Zhang Luotuo. Zhang Luotuo always suspected that the assembler had installed other parts on it by mistake.

"Wait a minute." He scratched the tip of his nose in a daze, muttered, stepped forward, and patted the mother body of the music machine lightly, as if patting fur.He clicked on the blue screen.The electronic music machine immediately spit out the CD and showed Teresa Teng's black record to Zhang Luotuo.

The record was still spinning slightly, humming.Zhang Luotuo picked up the record and wiped it twice with a cloth.Then he opened the black box and gently slid the record inside.It went well at first, but there was a strange pause when the record slid into the bottom of the box, as if something had stuck it.Zhang Luotuo switched positions, but the result was exactly the same.He frowned, shook the black box, and something rolled at the bottom of the box, like a small dice.

He reacted, took out the record, and turned the box upside down.Something fell to the ground, glowing blue.

He bent down and picked up the thing.It has a rough texture and feels like plastic paper.Looks like Joad dropped it.Zhang Luotuo held it in front of his eyes to observe, he was a little surprised.

It was a square candy, bound by gold wires, and the flashing blue light was its outer sugar-coated packaging. It used a special texture, and the sugar paper was shiny.He turned it over, and there seemed to be a piece of paper stuck behind it.He got up, walked to a brighter place, and read it by the light.

It says, Ingredients: No Peanuts.

Zhang Luotuo looked at the production information and raised his head, his heart suddenly beat violently.He gets it.He grabbed the candy, walked to the door immediately, opened the door, and rushed into the corridor, but there was no one in the corridor, and the red number of the elevator stopped at the 96th floor. Joad had already gone down, and he might have already sat on it. spaceship.

He walked back to his house, it didn't matter, he remembered that he still had Joad's phone number, it seemed to be on the repair table.He walked over and sure enough he saw it.The number is written on paper, five numbers.Zhang Luotuo memorized the numbers on it, picked up the antique phone on the repair table, and read the numbers again. "83650."

"Already dialed, please wait patiently." The phone answered with a sweet female voice.Then, an advertisement came in and said: "Are you afraid of forgetting things for no reason? D-125 prevents the birth of forgetting robots!"

Suddenly, the ad disappeared.Instead, there is the sound of rain, and the vague sound of smart navigation.

"It has entered gray fog, drive carefully." A vague sound of breathing spilled over the receiver.

"Hello?" Joad's voice sounded.

Zhang Luotuo took a deep breath: "It's me, Zhang Luotuo." He said, stuttering a bit.

Joad on that side seemed to be stunned. "Warning, in manual driving, hold the steering wheel tightly and drive carefully." The voice of the navigator was on the other side. Zhang Luotuo seemed to feel the coldness of the rain, and he knew what it was like to drive at night.

"It's you?" After a while, Joad repeated Zhang Luotuo's words.

"Yes." Zhang Luotuo said, he exhaled, he didn't know what to say, he spread his palms, looked at the objects in his hands, blue icing, sequined candy paper, sugar cubes, he cleared his throat and said, " I just saw, your candy in the black box."

There was silence, and Joad didn't refute him.Zhang Luotuo could hear the faint thunder on Joad's side. There will be heavy rain after midnight tonight, he remembered what the weather forecast said.He decided to make a long story short.He licked his lips and said, "If I understand correctly..."

"It's all right, Joad," he said. "I mean, the allergy thing."

He couldn't see Joad's expression, nor could he know what Joad was thinking.For a long time, amidst the sound of the spaceship passing by, Joad said: "Yeah." As if speaking from his nostrils, he was very reluctant and his voice was vague.

Zhang Luotuo looked out the window. There were not many spaceships tonight. He guessed which fog Joad was in, and said, "And...thank you." He lowered his head, held Tang, thought, and said sincerely, This is what he wanted to say most today, but he never said it, he took a deep breath. "Thank you for taking me to the hospital after I was allergic, calling Zheng Zheng, and helping me pay the medical expenses in advance. After the medical expenses, I will transfer them to your electronic account through the company."

After he finished speaking, there was another silence this time, complete silence. Zhang Luotuo couldn't hear Joad's voice in the phone receiver. At this moment, there was only the sound of electric current rushing through and the huge rain falling through the gray fog. Occasional loss of signal flashes.Zhang Luotuo almost felt that Joad would not answer.

"You're welcome." Suddenly, the voice on the other end of the phone overwhelmed the speakers and came dryly.

Zhang Luotuo sat down on the seat, and he smiled involuntarily.

Neither of them spoke for a long time, but neither of them wanted to hang up.Zhang Luotuo listened to the voice from the microphone, and the smart navigation on the other end of the phone kept reminding him: turn right, slide down, what song do you want to play?The ethereal singing sound faintly entered Zhang Luotuo's ears.Zhang Luotuo looked out of the window, thinking in the great rain.

"Jord," he said suddenly.

Sliding over there to breathe, for a long time.

"What?" an arrogant and cold voice.

"I want to go to the record store on Monday night, do you want to come?"

After another long time, Zhang Luotuo felt that time was about to stand still, and there was no sound from the other side, only the sound of rain and electricity.This stillness made Zhang Luotuo feel uneasy, maybe this sudden request was really ridiculous, and he didn't know why he said this suddenly.He bit his tongue in embarrassment, decided to change the topic elsewhere, and hung up the phone.But at this moment, in the sound of pattering rain, the other side finally said.

"Five in the afternoon, coffee shop."

Then the phone was hung up, leaving only a busy tone.

Zhang Luotuo listened to the hung up phone.The busy tone fades away after three seconds, and the phone starts playing a few commercials for new toys.He took a deep breath, put the phone back where it was, lay back, leaned back into the sofa, squinted his eyes, and looked at the billboard in the distance outside the window, it was very bright, almost like burning.In contrast to it is a faint dot next to it, which is glowing, up and down.

A faint "humming" sound entered his ears, and then gradually disappeared.

He lowered his head, tore off the royal blue candy wrapper, and bit the candy.The fresh lemon flavor immediately diffused in his mouth, he bit the candy, picked up the candy wrapper with his hand, and let it be reflected royal blue under the light.He looked at it and laughed inexplicably.
