sleep guide

At exactly one o'clock in the afternoon on Ning Yiwei's birthday, he received a message from Zhou Zirui.

Zhou Zirui asked if his imperial battleship was finished and whether he was free in the afternoon, and said that he had already packed the books Ning Yiwei had chosen, and now he could rush to the place where Ning Yiwei lived to contribute a powerful contribution to the cause of imperial warships. strength.

Ning Yiwei really wanted Zhou Zirui to come, but he was so sick now that he couldn't even move on his own, let alone build Lego with Zhou Zirui.

Helplessly, he showed his mobile phone to Liang Chong who was sitting next to him at work, and asked Liang Chong, "What should I do?"

Liang Chong glanced down and said, "Say next time."

Ning Yiwei thought over and over again, and reluctantly replied to Zhou Zirui: "Zirui, I don't have time today. But the remaining half will be kept for you, and we will take it together in a few days."

He asked Liang Chong to go to his room yesterday to take a picture of a semi-finished product. Liang Chong was probably immersed in his work, so he picked up his phone and sent him a picture without looking up.

Ning Yiwei clicked on the picture Liang Chong sent him, looked left and right, was not satisfied, and sighed a few times, seeing that Liang Chong didn't ask him why he sighed, he had to say: "Oh, there are several piles of parts that are missing. It looks like you bought a bootleg Imperial battleship."

Liang Chong didn't speak, Ning Yiwei said again: "The camera shakes a bit, it doesn't look like a photo taken by a professional Lego enthusiast like me."

"Oh," Liang Chong put down his laptop, turned to look at Ning Yiwei, folded his arms and said, "Do you think I'm unprofessional?"

Ning Yiwei shook his head sadly, and said: "It can't be said that it can't be fired at all, at least the hull of the ship is shot in."

Liang Chong looked at Ning Yiwei for a few seconds, stretched out his hand and pinched Ning Yiwei's face, and said, "Ning Yiwei, are you stupid?"

Ning Yiwei looked at Liang Chong anxiously, and let out another "ah".Liang Chong shook his head helplessly, said "Okay, you wait", got up and went out.

After a while, Ning Yiwei received a video request on his phone, and Liang Chong called.

Ning Yiwei picked it up and saw that Liang Chong's picture was in the room where Ning Yiwei built Lego yesterday, and Liang Chong's voice came from the speaker.Liang Chong said: "Professional Lego enthusiast Ning Yiwei, how do you want to shoot?"

"This way! This way!" Ning Yiwei asked Liang Chong to move forward and back, and the phone went up, tilted a little, down a little, and focused on the hull. Finally, he took a satisfactory photo and sent it to Zhou Zirui.

Zhou Zirui replied disappointedly: "Okay. [emoji shed tears] The PS photo was taken quite well, and I have saved it!"

In the evening, Liang Chong called the chef to cook at home and brought a beautiful and delicious cake.After drinking and eating, Ning Yiwei leaned against Liang Chong, lay on the sofa, watched the documentary, and fell asleep while watching it.

If Ning Yiwei were to evaluate this 20th birthday by himself, he would think that he was not self-disciplined enough, and he would hang out with Liang Chong at home like a running account for a whole day without doing anything.

Except for the good photo taken by Liang Chong under his professional guidance, it can be regarded as a very good souvenir.

Not long after Ning Yiwei's birthday, Zhou Zirui was finally invited to Liang Chong's house, and together with Ning Yiwei, he built the remaining warships.

Liang Chong asked someone to order a glass cover for Ning Yiwei's treasure, and put it in the display cabinet on the corridor leading to the study on the third floor, sandwiched between a pile of valuables.

The end of the first semester of Ning Yiwei's senior year was approaching, and Liang Chong began to travel intensively.He had stayed in Australia for too long before, and most of the accumulated non-time-sensitive tasks still had to be done one by one. Ning Yiwei thought it was okay before, but now he hates that Liang Chong's family is empty, so he and Zhou Zirui study in the school library every day .

It was Liang Chong's fourth day out, and Zhou Zirui was going to be a blind date for his brother at night, so Ning Yiwei had to go to the cafeteria to eat alone, and then went to the reading point on the second floor of the experimental center to check things.

It happened that Assistant Professor Cui was also there, and Ning Yiwei greeted him and chatted a few words.

It was almost nine o'clock, Ning Yiwei packed his things and went downstairs.His parents are also in City D today, he has to go halfway across the city to go home, so he can't stay too late.

When passing through the hall on the first floor where he had fought with Kong Yan, Ning Yiwei was suddenly stopped by someone.

"That—classmate, hello."

Ning Yiwei was stopped by a well-dressed aunt.She looked a little nervous and eager, her voice was a little low, her back was straight, she had mid-length hair, and she wore light makeup.

Ning Yiwei thought for no reason that she should be beautiful when she was young.

"What's the matter?" Ning Yiwei stopped in his tracks, lowered his head slightly and asked her.

She took two steps closer, looked at Ning Yiwei, and asked him with some embarrassment: "Do you know where the mailbox for the professors in the Department of Physics is?"

"Oh that, I know," Ning Yiwei said enthusiastically, "but it's hard to find, I'll take you there."

The professor’s mailbox needs to go around the escalator, go through half of the corridor, and open a door to get there. There is also an elevator dedicated to professors, and you have to swipe your card to get up.

"Student, you are so kind." The aunt followed Ning Yiwei and praised Ning Yiwei gratefully.

Ning Yiwei smiled at her embarrassedly and said, "Thank you."

Walking to the mailbox, she took out an unsealed letter from her bag and stuffed it into Kong Shenfeng's mailbox.

Kong Shenfeng's mailbox is the fullest. Although Assistant Professor Cui seems to clear it for him every few days, it is still almost full.

"Why are there so many things?" The aunt said dissatisfiedly, while stuffing the envelope like stuffing a pig, folding the envelope several times, Ning Yiwei was terrified.

Finally, she stuffed the letter in, and Ning Yiwei dared to say: "Professor Kong seems to be absent recently."

"Really, I don't know, I delivered it for someone else," the aunt shook her hand, as if asking Ning Yiwei casually, "Do you know Professor Kong?"

"Well," Ning Yiwei just finished nodding, when she saw that she had turned in the wrong direction when she walked out the door, she quickly stopped her, "Auntie, it's not over there."

She turned her head, Ning Yiwei pointed in the opposite direction and said, "Go out this way."

"Oh." The aunt suddenly realized, and immediately turned back.

Her eyes are bright and her eyebrows are well drawn, but there are some inconspicuous wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and lip grooves.

She moved closer to Ning Yiwei, as if carefully observing Ning Yiwei's face, but before Ning Yiwei felt inappropriate, she backed away again, and said to Ning Yiwei with a smile: "Thank you, you helped me again !"

Ning Yiwei pursed her lips, shook her head, said it was okay, and led her out.

In fact, Ning Yiwei felt that this aunt seemed to have something on her mind. She first followed him through half of the corridor, then stepped up to Ning Yiwei's side, turned her head and asked, "Student, why are you coming home so late?"

She wore stiletto heels, and she stepped on the floor with a clicking sound.

"I'll take a taxi home." Ning Yiwei glanced down at the tip of her shoe, and said honestly.

Ning Yiwei has never met such an elder.Among the people he knew, the closest to her should be Kang Minmin, but Kang Minmin is not quite the same as her, Kang Minmin is much more stable, and she is more aggressive.

"Taxi?" She frowned, and said to Ning Yiwei, "Taxi is too dangerous. A few days ago, some students in your school were robbed by taking a taxi. Haven't you heard?"

Ning Yiwei was a little frightened, and looked at her in surprise: "Really? I haven't heard of it."

"It's absolutely true," she lowered her voice, and said to Ning Yiwei, "A male student was robbed of all his cash by a licensed driver for an online car-hailing service, and left it at a bus stop in the suburbs."

Like telling a horror story.

After a few seconds, Ning Yiwei slowly said: "Taxis are more formal now..." Even though he said that, he was still a little scared, mainly because the aunt's words were very scary.

"I'm not afraid of [-], just in case, but it's okay," she patted Ning Yiwei's shoulder, and said with a gentle fragrance, "To thank you for showing me the way, I'll take you back."

Ning Yiwei was embarrassed, so she refused: "No need, my family lives far away—"

"It doesn't matter how far away, I'm fine at night anyway."

Ning Yiwei also couldn't explain why, he got into the car with an aunt whom he had met for less than 10 minutes.

Her car was not very big and looked very high-end. Ning Yiwei sat in the co-pilot, fastened her seat belt obediently, watched her input his home address into the navigation, and thanked her very gratefully: "Thank you."

He just showed her the way, and she had to drive nearly ten kilometers to take him home.

"Thank you." She looked up, smiled happily at Ning Yiwei, started the car, stepped on the accelerator a few times, and just listened to the sound, the car remained motionless.

"Auntie," Ning Yiwei pointed out, "Aren't you in gear?"

She was stunned for a moment, put the gear on, drove for a few meters, and then explained to Ning Yiwei: "I don't usually drive very much, and the driver drives."

Ning Yiwei thought of Liang Chong who had put in the wrong file last time, so he smiled and nodded.

Perhaps because she was afraid of missing the intersection where the navigation prompts to turn, she drove the car very attentively. There was an old album of a very old singer in the car, and she hummed softly, as if she was happy, but also seemed a little absent-minded.

After driving for a while, she drove out of the school gate of D University, turned a corner and saw a red light, she stopped, looked at Ning Yiwei, smiled slightly, and asked Ning Yiwei, "What do you think I am doing?"

Her tone was a lot softer than when Ning Yiwei was scared of the online car-hailing accident just now, before Ning Yiwei could answer, she said again: "Little classmate, you look very small, how old are you?"

"It's senior year," Ning Yiwei said, "I'm in the junior class."

"So smart," she sighed, "your parents must be smart too."

Ning Yiwei paused for a moment, but did not speak.

"What do your parents do?" She asked Ning Yiwei again.

Ning Yiwei glanced at her and found that she was holding the steering wheel a little tight, her knuckles were turning white.

Her tone seemed very casual, it was just a very casual chat between the elders and the younger generation, but Ning Yiwei always felt that this conversation was actually not so natural.

Ning Yiwei subconsciously lowered her head, looked at her hands, thought for a while, and told her: "My parents run a supermarket, they are just ordinary people, not very smart."

"Oh?" She looked very interested, "Where is the supermarket?"

Ning Yiwei said the name of the supermarket, she nodded and said that she knew this store, and after a while of silence, she asked Ning Yiwei, "Then are they very busy?"

"Yes," Ning Yiwei nodded, "It's very hard to always contact manufacturers outside."

"So busy, do you still have time to accompany you?" She stared at the front and asked softly.

She followed the navigation and drove up the elevated road. The lights on both sides of the road quickly receded. After one song was played in the car, there was a second of silence, and the prelude to another song played.Ning Yiwei only remembered to say to her after listening to the first half of the song: "They will accompany me when they come back."

She stepped on the gas pedal a little bit, and before she could speak, Ning Yiwei's cell phone rang.

It was Lu Jiaqin's call, Ning Yiwei picked it up and called Mom.

Lu Jiaqin asked him: "Weiwei, when will you get home? It's so late, mom either deliberately wants to interfere with your studies, or it's too late and it's not safe."

She asked Ning Yiwei babbling a bit: "Otherwise, let your father pick you up."

Ning Yiwei said: "No need, I'm in the car and I'll be there in a while."

Lu Jiaqin asked him what he would like to eat for supper. Ning Yiwei said with a bitter face that mom, I don't want to eat. I'm really not hungry at all.

After hanging up the phone, Ning Yiwei just put the phone away when the aunt who was driving said, "Your parents are so kind to you, and they will make you a supper tonight."

Ning Yiwei let out a "huh" and said, "My mother always thinks that I haven't had enough to eat."

She smiled and said: "Mom is always like this." After a few seconds, she seemed to be caught, and said to Ning Yiwei: "My son is about the same age as you."

"Oh? Is he also studying in our school?" Ning Yiwei turned to ask her, and saw her blinking several times and pursing her lips, as if restraining something.But listening to her speak, it is not impossible to hear a lot of emotions.

She nodded and said slowly: "But we are not as close as you and your parents."

"I'm not very good at taking care of children," she whispered again, "and I'm a very failed mother. I often hate him recently, I dare not see him, and I want to go crazy even thinking about him, but when I lie down at night, I find What I hate the most is actually myself, I am so selfish."

Her voice was uncomfortably calm, and then she shut her mouth tightly again, as if regretting that she had said too much.

This is a very weird night and a very strange car ride, so weird that Ning Yiwei can't help but feel very sad.

Ning Yiwei's heart was empty, he couldn't tell what it was like, and he didn't know what to say. He clenched his hands into fists and then loosened them again. He clumsily thought of several comforting words before hesitatingly opening his mouth: "Every time Families will fight."

She was silent, and Ning Yiwei felt that he probably still hadn't succeeded in comforting her.

"Don't talk about me, you know," she suddenly changed the subject abruptly, criticizing Ning Yiwei lightly, "You are too unsuspecting."

"what?"

"Getting into a stranger's car at night is inherently dangerous. If I ask you anything, you can tell me what if I'm a bad guy."

Ning Yiwei could only blink at her stupidly.

"What if I'm the driver who robbed the students," she added, "be more careful in the future."

The navigation suddenly said, "I found three parking lots for you", and it was almost to Ning Yiwei's house.

"It's not far from your home." She didn't choose the parking lot, but said to Ning Yiwei, "It's very close."

Ning Yiwei glanced at the time, drove for 10 minutes, and took a taxi for a lot more than the minimum delivery fee, so he couldn't say it was close.

"You'd better leave me a call." She picked up the phone on the shelf, unlocked it and put it in Ning Yiwei's hand, "I live near D University, and I usually have nothing to do. If you are at night The experimental center stayed late and didn’t go home, you can call me, and I’ll take you home.”

Ning Yiwei wanted to say that there is no need to bother, he doesn't often stay so late, and he will get his driver's license soon, and the driver's robbery is a small probability event.

He lowered his head to push, and found that her hand holding the phone was trembling.

Her hands are very fair, with crimson nail polish, a wedding ring on her ring finger, a large diamond ring on her middle finger, jewelry and a watch on her wrist. It looks like a pair of hands that never do housework.She clutched the phone tightly, put it in Ning Yiwei's hand, and said in a very low voice: "Leave a call for auntie." Hands are very different.

Ning Yiwei lowered his eyes and looked at it for a while, feeling that she was about to cry, so he still took her mobile phone and saved his number in it.

While typing her own name, she told her: "My name is Ning Yiwei, the peaceful Ning, the one and only one next to my heart."

"Well, it's very nice." Her chest rose and fell slightly, as if she was trying hard to calm down.

But Ning Yiwei felt that she didn't do as well this time as before. When she said, "The only one, it's a very carefully chosen name", her voice was already so hoarse that it couldn't be any more hoarse.

Out of politeness, Ning Yiwei didn't look at her face.

When Ning Yiwei arrived at home, he thanked her, got out of the car, went upstairs and ate the steamed eggs Lu Jiaqin made for him, and returned to the room in a daze, looking out the window.

He looked at his phone, and there were no missed calls or text messages, so he sent Liang Chong a message: "Are you free to answer the call?"

Liang Chong quickly called and asked what happened to Ning Yiwei.

Ning Yiwei stared out of the window in a daze, and said to Liang Chong, "My biological mother has come to look for me."

Liang Chong was silent for a few seconds, and asked Ning Yiwei, "What's going on."

"I don't know," Ning Yiwei blankly recalled the scene before getting out of the car, "but she was crying so hard."
