【Zhou Xiang】Gravity

1.

Sun Xiang stayed at Zhou Zekai's house for more than a week, objectively disrupting the latter's rhythm.

Zhou Zekai originally planned to search for clues during his recuperation days, and even planned to go out for a trip.Affected by her boyfriend's door-to-door "supervision", the priority of the plan was adjusted later.

Of course this is by no means a complaint.Even if Sun Xiang ran to him without saying hello and asked him to stay for the whole winter vacation, Zhou Zekai would definitely welcome him with his arms raised high.

Cough, to be more honest, staying for the whole winter vacation or something... It's not that Sun Xiang didn't think about it.It's a pity that every family has a bit of rules and conventions when it comes to traditional festivals - for example, their grandson's family has a lot of work to prepare in the last week of the new year, such as cleaning, shopping, and visiting relatives in advance to exchange some necessary items New Year's goods and the like.So don't talk about the whole winter vacation, Sun Xiang tried his best to procrastinate, and brazenly called his mother in front of his boyfriend, so he procrastinated until the 28th year.

The two had only slept for a few days, and they were about to be separated from their favorite mint chocolate flavor.Sun Xiang was in a rather bad mood.On the day before he left, he was surrounded by low air pressure, his lips were pursed, and his eyebrows were not in the mood. He lingered at the door for a long time, and he had to take off his scarf to coax several kisses before he could walk.

When they got home, Mother Sun pinched her son's face, and Father Sun patted his son's stomach. The husband and wife teased, "Is it heavy?"

They thought that Sun Xiang would definitely blow his hair, and would refute angrily with a blushing face, but in the end, Sun Xiang did something that caught everyone's eyes - he was stunned, and he actually muttered quite calmly: "Maybe. "

When he stepped on the weighing scale, Mama Sun and Papa Sun poked their heads together: "Tsk."

"Hey. It's true." Sun Xiang rubbed his belly, "It's all Zhou Zekai's fault."

Oh, why did the tone sound so frightened when he said "it's all to blame".Father Sun almost wanted to roll his eyes: "That's it."

Mother Sun smiled softly: "Okay. I know Zekai treats you well, have you done anything for him?"

"Yes, yes." Sun Xiang threw the backpack away, and said to him from left to right, "Mom, I smell you frying crispy pork!"

"...in the kitchen! Dinner is ready soon!" Father Sun and Mother Sun looked at each other and shouted helplessly.

Sun Xiang ran away like a gust of wind.

If Sun Xiang didn't want to answer the question directly, he would probably be beaten up by his father if he revealed the reason.

This week, he was cooking for at least half of the time. He was afraid that his father would tell the truth in a few words, and the result could be imagined—"Is it true? My son, come and show me!"

No, no, let him go, Sun Xiang thought, no matter how burnt I am, Zhou Zekai can't possibly dislike me, Dad, maybe you will!

3.

On the other side, with Sun Xiang not around, Zhou Zekai finally had a chance to go out.

He has many options as to what to do outside the home, but he's not sure yet.

Father Sun's business card is always in his wallet.Of course he knows to contact the other party directly and tell the part that bothers him the most, and the other party will definitely give it as much as possible within his ability.He even speculated that the other party probably didn't know about the things in his dream, otherwise there would be more obvious and unnatural reactions.

Under this premise, he can imagine that when he speaks, the other party will be dragged into the same uncertainty and pain as himself.

Due to emotion and reason, he... decided not to take this step for the time being.

Back to Zhou Zekai's option itself.

As an ordinary high school student and a witness to the incident, his strengths and weaknesses are very prominent when looking for the truth deliberately concealed by the police.

The advantage is that he has memory, which is his unique reliance.Although it will only appear in chaotic dreams, disturbing his sleep, stimulating his spirit, giving him endless pain and endless questions, but also in a fragmented and disorderly way, it is given to him more and more. Signs of the world that have never been exposed.

On the other hand, he does not have any authority to obtain information beyond ordinary people.He has a very high IQ, and he can indeed be called a genius in learning, but it is not an exaggeration to be able to become the hacker god described in online novels at this age—otherwise, he would not have to worry about where to find clues.

It sounds like this alone is enough to make most people quit.However, Zhou Zekai's character is destined to be outside the scope of "most people".

He firmly believed that there was always a way, and it didn't take long for him to actually do it.

4.

On the day Zhou Zekai went out, the strongest cold air had already left the city.The greenhouse effect has made the global climate chaotic, and it is no surprise to everyone that the temperature rises sharply during the winter vacation.

Therefore, when Zhou Zekai wore only a pair of camel-colored trousers, an off-white sweater, and rolled the sleeves up to his forearms, and just swooped down the long slope against the wind, and went straight all the way, almost no one on both sides of the road questioned him. Whether he is wearing too little, some people pay attention to his dead bike, and more focus is on: "Fucking so handsome——"

For a long time, Zhou Zekai was always able to ignore these gazes with ease, but today was a bit different - when he thought that he might soon take advantage of this advantage, and it was the first time in his life, he became a little uneasy again.

The mobile phone in his pocket was set up with navigation, and he was given clear instructions along the way through the earphones.

At a certain intersection, he twisted his handlebars and turned into a narrow alley while pressing the gravel road.

5.

This piece of Beicheng has always been a depression in housing prices.Zhou Zekai remembered that he came here three years ago when he was in elementary school, but he forgot the specific reason. What left the deepest impression was the cobweb-like streets and the large houses with the word "demolition" painted on them.

Now that he revisited the old place, Zhou Zekai discovered to his amazement that the thrust of urban transformation did not seem to have brought about a change in the place.The road without a sense of planning is still the protagonist here.

This made the intelligent navigation very distressed, and led the wrong way three times in a row.Zhou Zekai went around in vain before he found the main entrance of the Police Family Court.

He stopped the car on the opposite side of the road and watched carefully for a while.

Perhaps because of the self-built houses, the entire community can only be described as plain - almost every building has a façade with peeling walls due to water seepage and damp; messy clothes poles split the sky; Due to the wind and the sun, the copper characters that make up the name of the community have also faded; the parking poles at the gate of the community are not the most fashionable ones at the moment, and every time a car enters and exits, an old man must manually register and then move the roadblock.

He checked before he came.The schools in this neighborhood are very common.With low housing prices, average environment, and no school district bonus, people who are a little younger in the public security system have already figured out a way to move out.

Those who still choose to stay here after so many years, besides the nostalgic old people, are probably the only... rigid guys who don't know how to adapt? ——Seeing this scene with my own eyes objectively strengthened Zhou Zekai's confidence in achieving something during this trip.

The red light turns green.

He took a deep breath, pushed the cart and followed the flow of people to the gate of the community.

6.

Entering the community is easy.

The old man at the gate only stopped cars, not pedestrians.When he saw Zhou Zekai, he only thought that the other party was the grandchild of an old man, and let him in after yelling "be careful when riding in the community".

The next step is the most critical step.

Zhou Zekai walked around to the right along the main road of the community—just now he was separated from the fence, and he noticed that there was an open space, long stone benches, and some swings for children to play on, and most importantly, there was a group of An old aunt chatting in the sun.

He didn't rush forward, but stopped again and observed from a distance for a while.

The chatting crowd seemed to be a whole, but in fact they had a core - Zhou Zekai noticed that an old lady with dyed red half-length curly hair was particularly talkative, while the others were more nodding and echoing.

Zhou Zekai matched her face with the face of the person in charge of the neighborhood committee on the bulletin board in front of the community.After a while, the chatting crowd dispersed, Zhou Zekai got on his bicycle, slowly overtook her, turned his head to look around from time to time, then stepped forward three or four meters in a very hesitant manner, stopped suddenly, turned around and said, "Hi, grandma. Can you do me a favor?"

Facts have proved that Zhou Zekai's bet was right.

The red-haired old lady was not only enthusiastic, but she also had no defense against Zhou Zekai, a handsome, gentle and well-behaved boy.Hearing that Zhou Zekai came here to thank a certain "uncle policeman" who helped out on the street, he immediately agreed to take him to find someone.

"Let me just say, Lao Zhang, although he looks fierce and bored like a gourd, he is definitely a good man! He usually does a lot of brave things, but it's a pity that he is too low-key and principled. It’s not that he’s been a neighbor for so many years, if he doesn’t say anything, who knows.” She was supported by Zhou Zekai, and slowly climbed the stairs, “Fortunately, you are a sensible child. Let’s have a good chat later. You have a taste of his craft, hahaha..."

"En." Zhou Zekai nodded, but he sighed inwardly.

If the other party is really such a principled and rigid person, it would be good if he didn't get kicked out immediately after he explained his real intention later.
