cheat

The lights in the dormitory were turned off, the curtains were drawn tightly, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness. While lying quietly on the bed, Hwaseong felt that the person in the next bed was tossing and turning.

The design of this dormitory is actually very unreasonable. Two beds stand in a row against the wall, and they are still close to each other. Small movements are negligible and not enough to "shake the tree", but as long as one person has a large bed Activities, two people must be able to feel it.

As for Li Fan, tonight, did he treat himself as a dish and kept frying it, or did he throw it away and stir fry it.

Hwaseong thought to himself, isn't it just such a trivial matter that a roommate has someone he likes? Could it be that Li Fan would be distressed because he didn't find out about it, and he shouldn't.

His little lies actually had the side effect of disturbing people's dreams. Huacheng felt a little bit guilty, he swallowed his saliva lightly, and warmly reminded: "Cough, if you can't sleep, you can go out for a walk."

Originally, this sentence was meant to be funny, but now when I go out for a walk at this time, I will be arrested and educated by the auntie of the dormitory, but, I didn't expect that the people in the next bed suddenly became quiet when I said this, as if a machine had been working for a long time. The machine was suddenly unplugged.

Is the dish ready?

Hwaseong didn't think about anything deeply. After Li Fan's body movements calmed down, the surrounding environment had already reached the standard of sleep. When sleepiness hit, Hwaseong soon lost consciousness.

However, when I was half asleep and half awake, a shallow and familiar voice seemed to float into my ears: "I'm sorry."

However, at this time, the part of Hwaseong's still sober consciousness is no longer enough for him to type a complete and clear question mark in his mind. This sentence is like words written on the beach, which are washed away by the waves at once, and finally All gone.

A good night's sleep. The next day, Hwaseong woke up at 05:30 for a morning run as usual. When he went out, he habitually looked at the bed next door. He saw Li Fan huddling himself into a ball, covered with a quilt, and facing the wall sideways, as if he was sleeping. It's quite familiar.

However, if Huacheng peeped in quietly now, he would find that Li Fan, a silly boy, opened his eyes at some point, staring blankly at the white wall.

Maybe he didn't close his eyes and get a good night's sleep all night. He seemed to have cast a spell on himself, motionless, as if he had stopped breathing, and his body temperature disappeared, not like a living thing.

When Hwaseong came back from running, he found that Li Fan had left the dormitory, which was really strange. According to the usual, this person with a strangely accurate biological clock should still be lying on the bed or washing up.

When Hwaseong comes back to change his school uniform, this person will happily drag him to the cafeteria to have a simple breakfast, and then rush to the classroom, so today Li Fan has changed his gender, are you going to go to the classroom early for morning reading?

Hwaseong went out with a little doubt. Going to the cafeteria to eat breakfast by himself has been happening for many years, but today, when he suddenly called back to the past, Hwaseong always felt that something was wrong here or something was wrong there.

So instead of sitting down with a bowl of porridge and drinking it slowly, he just packed two buns and prepared to eat them on the way to the classroom.

When he reached the entrance of the canteen, he turned back, because he didn't know if Li Fan had come to the canteen for breakfast, so he packed two big steamed buns and an egg by the way.

However, when I went to the classroom, I didn't see Li Fan, which was strange. When the morning reading was approaching, Huacheng couldn't help sending a text message to Li Fan's cell phone, but when the morning reading was about to pass , have received no response of any kind.

You were rejected and stimulated by your confession yesterday?But it wasn't him who confessed.

He went out again and dialed Li Fan's phone. When a mechanical girl came from his ear, he realized that the person on the phone had already turned off the phone.

It is late in the winter in the south, and December is only an autumn coat away from the generally high-temperature summer in the whole country. But when standing in the corridor, occasionally a few cold winds seep into the coat, Hwaseong can't help shivering, holding The fingertips of the phone are also a little white, I don't know if it is cold.

A greenish-yellow leaf untimely fell from upstairs, passed in front of Hwaseong, twirled, and then turned and floated downstairs.

"Hwaseong, Teacher Kong asked you to go to his office now."

Hwaseong's thoughts flew back from a distant country when he heard someone call his name. He turned around and said thank you to the classmate who sent the letter, and put the cell phone that was tightly pulled into his coat pocket. Walked into the office quickly.

"Hello, Teacher Kong, did Li Fan ask you for leave today?" Hua Cheng, who had just entered the office, didn't ask the head teacher why he was looking for him, but asked someone else first.

Kong Lin looked at Hwaseong with a look of surprise on his face, but it was only for a moment. He pointed to the stool opposite the desk and said to Hwaseong, "You sit first."

Huacheng obeyed the instructions, and sat on the stool in front of him, only to hear Kong Lin say slowly: "I was also here to ask you about this, I thought you were his roommate, and would know why he didn't come to class No leave."

"...I don't know, he was still in the dormitory this morning, there must be something delayed," Huacheng frowned: "Mr. Kong, why don't you call his house and ask."

"Of course I called." Kong Lin raised his hand and stroked the little black beard on his chin, thoughtfully: "But his father said that today is Li Fan's birthday, so he might go out to celebrate, so he verbally said I asked Li Fan for three days off."

Kong Lin stroked his beard, he didn't care about it, and made a "hiss": "What are you talking about, besides, the process of asking for leave is not like this. He is a little kid, and his birthday has to be celebrated." Three days? Still immature—and..."

Huacheng unconsciously moved his stiff waist, realizing that Kong Lin's words had paused a little bit, afraid that he would stop there, and quickly continued: "And what?"

Kong Lin raised his eyes and looked at Hwaseong, as if he was thinking about whether he should say the next thing or not. He stared at Hwaseong for a while, feeling uncomfortable, and his brain even began to think about what kind of sitting posture would make people look more cute. Be more kind.

Just when he was so entangled that his limbs were about to be knotted in his mind, he heard Kong Lin say quietly: "... I heard what his father said, it seems that Li Fan hasn't come home yet."

"That's it, Huacheng."

Hwaseong hadn't thought about the meaning of the three words "didn't go home", and immediately said "hmm" when he heard this: "Say it."

"It's almost the final exam. After Li Fan comes back, you can make up for him for these three days. If you have a chance, talk to him, you understand?"

Huacheng moved his stiff body, stood up, and bowed to Kong Lin: "Okay, thank you teacher."

After returning to the classroom, Hwaseong wrote "Li Fan, please leave for three days" on the attendance book in the class. Later in class, some students came to ask him why Li Fan asked for leave, but he only said that he didn't know. He is real, and he doesn't know.

The next morning, a call was made to the front desk of Longtai Hotel, a famous five-star hotel in City A. The receptionist at the front desk glanced at the caller ID and found that it was a series of numbers that all hotel employees should be familiar with. A flustered, secretly playing mobile phone fell on the table.

She straightened her clothes, as seriously as if the person on the other side of the phone might see it. In the end, she cleared her throat, kept a smiling expression, and got stuck right after the third ring of the phone. Sudi picked up the phone.

"Hello, this is the lobby reception of Longtai Hotel. May I help you?"

"Well, yes, a custom cake was delivered yesterday."

"Breakfast delivered at 7 o'clock this morning—yes, according to the usual habits and time, three meals a day, delivered on time."

"8 o'clock, I went out at 8 o'clock this morning."

"Well, there will be a special person to report to you about the entry and exit."

"Okay thank you, I wish you a happy life."

After the other party hung up the phone first, the receptionist lady at the front desk listened to the busy signal for a full minute, then put down the phone with confidence, stretched her stiff face muscles from laughing, and let out a long breath.

Li Fan left school yesterday morning and came to the Longtai Hotel room to eat a breakfast that he did not ask for, and then he lay down on the bed in the hotel room all day. It was his birthday, and he was facing a big cake, Luxuriously decorated ceiling and LCD TV with loud volume.

He didn't need to think about how many candles to light, how many pieces to divide the cake into, and what to do if he didn't eat the rest, anyway, he wouldn't touch it anyway, and someone would come to clean up the cake the next morning and throw it away.

It doesn't make sense, when do you want to eat cake?

There is an expensive cemetery in the suburbs of City A. In the cemetery, evergreen trees are planted all year round. The cleaners here should be very diligent in cleaning. For so many years in winter, Li Fan has never seen a leaf on the ground by coincidence. Therefore, it gives people the illusion that the tree may not even wither and fall off its leaves.

How wonderful, evergreen in all seasons, if people stay inside, if they can't still feel the sun, moon and stars, it seems that time will not flow.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, gently placed a bouquet of small white wild flowers in front of the spotless tombstone, then took out a can of beer from the red plastic bag next to him, opened it casually, took a sip coolly, feeling cool, He laughed and said, "It's ironic that that person still came to see you. Does he feel sorry for me, or for you?"

"What do you think—Mom." Li Fan looked coldly at the large bouquet of chrysanthemums next to Xiaoyehua, and said for a long time, "He would give me expensive gifts every year, order cakes for me, and give me a lot of money, you said , will I still charge this year?"

"I always feel that if he doesn't do this, there will be nothing to prove that he is my father. He is worried about this, but in fact, there is obviously nothing to worry about."

"Mom, I'm a sophomore in high school this year, and I'll be a senior in high school next September."

"I applied for science, which is what I like."

"By the way, Mom, yesterday was my birthday. Do you want to give me something? Let me think about it..." Li Fan reached out and took out the jade wrench hanging around his neck. Holding it in his cold hand, he could still feel his own body temperature , the same as when it was just hung up: "You gave me this back then, should you give me a bracelet now?"

As Li Fan said, he felt his eyes were a bit hot, he tilted his head and took a sip of cold wine, drank too fast, covered his mouth and choked hard a few times, coughed at the end, laughed, and burst into tears.

"The day before yesterday, I just remembered to hand over love letters to my classmates. I was nervous and forgot to ask for leave. I didn't want to go to class yesterday morning, so I simply didn't ask for leave. It's time for Xiao Huzi to treat me to tea when I go back."

"By the way, Mom, Xiao Huzi is our homeroom teacher. He is a nice person, but he is an old cadre. I get along well with my classmates in the new semester. I have many friends. It's pretty good. Don't worry."

As Li Fan said, he crushed the empty beer can in his hand, put it into a red plastic bag, and took out another can: "Mom, I often dream of you. When I dream of you, I fall asleep in the middle of the night. Not to mention, I should have quarreled with my roommate a few times."

"I haven't told you yet, my roommate is a top student, he..."

……

Rambling on and on, it’s like this every year. Li Fan reached out and touched the photo on the tombstone. The woman in the photo has been like this every day since that day, smiling so beautifully. When night fell, Li Fan got up and got on the bus back to the hotel.

Christmas Day happened to be Friday, and the campus was extremely lively. Although the school did not have any special activities to celebrate this festival, the students would make some small gifts privately and send them back and forth, making the festive atmosphere inexplicably strong.

Although Hwaseong didn't prepare any gifts to give away, he also received several gifts, mostly snacks and Christmas cards.

However, although I know that Li Fan has already asked for leave, this person has not returned to the dormitory for two or three days. Today is the last day of leave. Huacheng feels that Li Fan should go home after playing enough, but he is still vaguely worried .

On Friday and Christmas, the students in the class planned to take this opportunity to go to KTV to sing and prepare to send off the first semester of the second year of high school. Huacheng did not participate. After class, he returned to the dormitory, cleaned the dormitory carefully, packed his things and prepared to go home.

At this time, at the door of the dormitory, someone suddenly blocked the light, casting a faint and slender black shadow on the floor.
