Time stands still in nothingness.

This is a paradox.

This paradox is hung on the wall.

That's not an ordinary wall. To be precise, the wall is curved, but many times, you won't notice this, because the wall is so big, it extends slowly from bottom to top, and the surrounding walls The faces finally converge into a vaulted dome, like a dinosaur's lair.

However, whether you go back to the Jurassic era or turn the clock to the future, you will not be able to find such a huge dinosaur that can make this space seem logical, because it is too big, and the people inside are too small.

Someone is standing in front of this wall.

It is not so much a wall as an ocean of countless clocks. Some clocks are so old that their minute hands seem to fall off the dial every second they go; Just off the assembly line.

These clocks are too dense to count, but without exception, they are all moving forward.

Behind the "second", there are milliseconds, microseconds, rapid changes, loss, and dazzling.

Among them, an electronic clock is stationary.

So it's abrupt and independent.

2014-9-15-01:00:00

Between the rapidly changing milliseconds and subtleties, the still numbers are like inscriptions on tombstones, lifeless.

Time doesn't stand still for anyone.Whether you are the latest timer in the underground space, or an ordinary courier on the ground.

Wen Xu is a veteran courier who has worked for three years.He is honest and earnest. Like thousands of young people in this world, he has no special ideals. He only hopes that he can live a solid life every day.

Therefore, in the past three years, his courier work has never had an accident.

But today, something seems different.

Today's weather seems to be warning something, it has been cloudy since the morning.

A heavy rain was unable to pour in the layers of dark clouds, and it depressed the clouds dissatisfied.The thunder rolled for several hours, and the lightning flashed and flashed in response to the occasion, but not a single drop of rain fell.The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the whole city is soaked in warm water, damp and sticky.

Holding an umbrella, Wen Xu ran from the street to the end of the street, when a muffled thunder exploded, covering up the old creaking sound of the door he pushed open.

There were not many customers in the old lunch box restaurant, probably because of the weather, except for a middle-aged woman sitting in front of the window, there was only a man in his twenties sitting in the corner.Gentle's gaze was fixed on the pitiful dim light in the corner, the familiar figure from the back, the familiar figure, and even the outline of the back of the head exuded a sense of intimacy that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Zhou Gucheng, his bamboo horse and first love, goodbye after a long time, apart from being nervous, Wen Xu didn't know what else he was feeling.

Zhou Gucheng seemed to have noticed something, looked back and saw the familiar eyebrows, he smiled.

This smile brought back warm and long-lasting memories.

Many years ago, this person smiled at him at the bus stop, and it was the same smile, even the angle of his lips remained the same...

In a sense, Zhou Gucheng is really a very gentle person.

Walking quickly to Zhou Gucheng's dining table, Wen Xu took off the big bag hanging obliquely on his shoulder, and put it on the chair next to him.Zhou Gucheng poured him a cup of herbal tea, and handed him two paper towels to wipe his sweat.

Sitting opposite Zhou Gucheng, Wen Xu took a few glances before saying, "Why did you cut your hair so short?"

"It's cool." Zhou Gucheng said, "It's too hot this summer, so I cut them all. Isn't it ugly?"

"No, I look quite refreshed." Wen Xu drank half a cup of herbal tea, glanced at the table, and saw only a cold dish and a bowl of rice.

"Waiter, I want to order." Wen Xu called out loudly to the waiter who was dozing off behind the counter, but Zhou Gucheng suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"No, I'm full." Zhou Gucheng said coyly, "Didn't you just finish eating too, don't waste it."

Wen Xu wondered, since Zhou Gucheng grew up eating a lot, how can one dish be enough?Zhou Gucheng seemed unwilling to explain, and kept drinking herbal tea with his head down.

Wen Xu also lowered her head and leaned over, saying: "You have come all the way, of course I have to treat you to a good meal. How about we have barbecue tonight?"

"No, I have to catch the train later."

Wen Xu was puzzled again.You said you came here on purpose, why are you in such a hurry to leave?Thinking of this, Wen Xu faintly sensed that something was wrong with Zhou Gucheng.

Zhou Gucheng rubbed his hands and scratched the scalp that had just grown a layer of green stubble, looking embarrassed.Wen Xuan waited quietly for him to speak, which made him even more anxious.

The person opposite lowered his head, and his unconcealable anxiety made Wen Xu understand that Zhou Gucheng must have had something difficult to talk about.

"Gu Cheng, you have something on your mind. Tell me." The gentle voice played a soothing role.Zhou Gucheng no longer abused his bald head, and seemed to be a little more stable.It's just that he didn't mean to speak yet.He stared intently at the table.

The herbal tea has been drunk, and his hands are still holding the cup tightly.

Silence is also a kind of urging. In some cases, it is more stressful than words. Wen Nuan stretched out a hand and gently put it on the back of Zhou Gucheng's hand...

Zhou Gucheng looked at Wen Xu, and there were tears in his eyes. Wen Xu was startled, and saw Zhou Gucheng take out a white notebook from his bag and put it in front of him.

Wen Nu lowered her head and found that it was a medical case.

In the name column, there is a woman's name: Zhou Yufang.

Zhou Yufang is Zhou Gucheng's grandmother, but to Wen Xu, this old man has a more important identity, that is, the person who brought him up with his own hands.

With trembling hands, Wen Nu opened the case file.

"Grandma said, when she leaves, just ask you to go back to see her off. Don't let me tell you about your illness. She feels sorry for you. After all, she kicked you out of the house in a fit of anger." Zhou Gucheng said slowly.

In the case book, the word "advanced gastric cancer" is extremely eye-catching.

Wen Xu felt sour in his eyes, bitter in his mouth, and many fragmentary images flooded his mind.However, grandma's illness is more important now, and what happened back then is over.

Wen Xu swallowed, and asked, "When will grandma have the operation?"

"next Friday."

Wen Xu glanced at the medical record again, and then solemnly put it down: "How far is it?"

Zhou Gucheng was also taken aback, he didn't expect that Wen Xu would be very clear about his purpose without opening his mouth, so he said without hesitation: "20."

so much!

Wen Xu readily took out the wallet, took out a card from it and handed it to Zhou Gucheng: "There are more than 8 in it, you take it to treat grandma first. I will figure out the rest. Oh yes, it's still the same as before The old code, you know."

Zhou Gucheng showed a look of embarrassment, looking at the bank card handed to him, he didn't accept it, and it didn't matter if he didn't accept it.

Seeing his hesitation, Wen Xu stuffed the card into his hand.Zhou Gucheng clenched his hands tightly together with Wen Xu's.

"When are you going back?" Wen Xu raised her hand and asked with concern.

"I have to leave immediately." Zhou Gucheng said, "Grandma is not being taken care of in the hospital, so I have to go back."

Wen Xu didn't keep him longer, and asked the waiter to pay the bill.Carrying his big bag on his back, he stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the station."

Zhou Gucheng's eyes didn't dare to look directly at Wen Xu, Wen Xu naturally took his hand and led him to the door.Pushing open the door, what they will go to is separation and anxiety.Just like that night a few years ago, we separated, who knows what the result will be.

Suddenly, Zhou Gucheng hugged Wen Xu tightly.

The waiter behind the counter was still dozing off, and the woman sitting by the window was still looking out.The bell hanging on the door was quiet, just like the bell, Wen Wen's head was forced to stop shaking.

Finally, Zhou Gucheng whispered something in his ear.Fast and light too.Wen Xu didn't hear clearly, but Zhou Gucheng let go of him, pushed him away, and ran out the door as if fleeing.When Wen Xu chased him out, Zhou Gucheng stood under the scorching sun, with a bitter smile on his face, and said, "Don't send it off, you still have to work. I'll send you a text message when I arrive at the hospital."

Wen Xu wanted to remind him that it would be better to make a phone call.Thinking of the money issue, he nodded and acquiesced instead.Just like that, Wen Xu stood at the door of the old lunch box restaurant and watched Zhou Gucheng walk towards the bus station.Walking, walking out of his field of vision.

时间：2016-8-27-16:00

The courier package has not been delivered yet, so I can't get off work.

Zhou Gucheng hurried to the bus station, looked back, but couldn't see Wen Xu, nor the old box lunch restaurant.He let out a long breath, turned around and walked about ten steps, pushing open the door of a cafe.Go around four or five tables and sit close to the wall.

The corner of Zhou Gucheng's mouth curled into a smug smile, looking at the beautiful girl waiting for him.

The girl's appearance was very cute, and she looked at Zhou Gucheng full of expectation.Asked: "How is it?"

Zhou Gucheng smiled triumphantly, raised his hand and called, "waiter, a cup of latte."

The girl patted his hand coquettishly and said, "Quickly tell me, what's the matter?"

Zhou Gucheng got up, sat next to the girl, raised his arms and hugged her into his arms.With a low voice, he said with a smile: "Will I make mistakes if I go out?"

"It's done!?" The girl asked excitedly with her eyes wide open.

Zhou Gucheng pursed his lips, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "Of course it is. I said it a long time ago, that kid is easy to deceive. He will believe anything I say." After speaking, he took out the bank card from his pocket and waved it in front of the girl. Akira, "Did you see, I got more than 8. The password is still my birthday."

The girl screamed happily and hugged Zhou Gucheng's arm.Zhou Gucheng crossed Erlang's legs, squeezed the girl's limp hand, and said, "Just wait, within ten days, I can get another 12."

The girl said sweetly: "Husband, you are amazing!"

The waiter came over and put down the latte. When Zhou Gucheng picked up the cup, the girl put the bank card into her bag.Then he took Zhou Gucheng's arm and asked, "What if your grandma finds out?"

"No." Zhou Gucheng said confidently: "She is lying unconscious in the hospital, even if I whisper in her ear, she won't hear it."

"Then what if your little boy knows about it?" The girl was still a little worried, and asked very carefully, "Knowing that grandma is sick, he will definitely go to see it."

Zhou Gucheng's hand holding the coffee tightened subconsciously, and he glanced sideways at the people around him.A little impatiently replied: "In short, as long as you know that this matter will never be revealed, you don't have to think about other things."

"Ask what's wrong? I'm also worried about you." The girl was dissatisfied with Zhou Gucheng's attitude, and blamed her delicately.

Obviously, Zhou Gucheng is unwilling to talk more about his "childhood".He hugged the girl with a smile and said some sweet words.Not knowing what nice words to say, the girl took the initiative to hug his neck tightly...
