In the library, noise is prohibited

On a day like that every year in the deep winter, the boy's sleepy eyes still had dryness that had not yet dissipated. After lifting a corner of the curtain with his fingertips, he was caught off guard and saw the dense and soft white snow wrapped on the dead branches of the bare tree.

Unsuspecting surprises like this always lifted his spirits.

But now the first snow in the early morning came ahead of time, and the silver powder and jade flakes fell in his eyes and melted into a lake of warmth.

Chao Sheng's breath was condensed with uncontrollable joy, and the palm holding the phone was stimulated to sweat continuously, and all the emotions in his chest could only be released with an unexpected "ha".

The rising tone happened to be heard by the father who was about to open the door and come in to deliver the fruit. The bedroom door was only opened a crack, and the man's thick and hoarse voice was puzzled: "Are you calling your friend?"

Chao Sheng flipped his phone upside down on the bed in a panic, and he obviously couldn't get rid of his joy when he spoke: "No, I... I'm playing a game. I got a very powerful card."

"Eat oranges." Father came in and put the whole bag of oranges on his table, "Is there enough money?"

"Enough."

The father seemed to want to say something to him, but he couldn't find a topic that would interest his son, so he stood there restrained for a while, and finally went out slowly while smacking his lips to relieve the embarrassment.

After he left, Chaosheng got out of bed and closed the door again, and then went back to the bed to think about the words to reply to Y.

Although the other party's invitation was very attractive, Chao Sheng calmed down and had to tell the truth: "I don't know how to write that kind..."

[Coordinate axis Y]: Which one?

"It's the kind of...dialogue that looks a lot like a dirty novel."

[Coordinate axis Y]: If you don't like it, we won't post it.

[Coordinate axis Y]: Just be lovers who don't meet, is that okay?

Perhaps it was the three words "no meeting" that gave Chao Sheng a sense of security, and he agreed almost without thinking.

Afterwards, Chao Sheng fell into the confusion of "knowing that Y is a man outside the Internet, but he still has an attachment to him".But fortunately, the sense of satisfaction at this moment is greater than all doubts, and this wavering seems insignificant.

Anyway... no one knows.

As long as no one knows his unspeakable secret in reality, what is there to worry about?It doesn't matter whether the other party is a man or a woman, as long as they are secretly happy with each other, wouldn't it be fine?

"How many friends do you have in Milan?" After becoming a so-called "lover", Chao Sheng finally mustered up the courage to ask this question that has made him curious for a long time.

[Coordinate Axis Y]: Can't wait to control me when you've just been with me?

"No! I'm just asking casually!"

[Coordinate axis Y]: Only you.

[Coordinate axis Y]: True.

The corners of Chao Sheng's mouth just raised, then suddenly tightened, "You have been using Mystery Blue for a long time..."

[Coordinate Axis Y]: But this is the first time that she has actively engaged in online dating.

"Then why are you looking for me?"

Xun Zhouwo was lying on the sofa, and after seeing the boy's question, which was obviously waiting to be praised, he had no choice but to laugh alone in the room.

——Why else... If I wasn't interested in you, I wouldn't bother to download this kind of rubbish app.

[Coordinate axis Y]: I think you are cute.

Chao Sheng was described as "cute" for the first time in his life. As a boy, he actually wanted to hear other words.However, Y and him have never met, and most of the impressions about each other are based on imagination, so Chao Sheng doesn't mind that the other party misunderstands him.

Xun Zhou looked at the time and asked him, "Have you had dinner yet?"

"immediately."

"Remember your birthday wish."

"Of course, I have to make three wishes every year."

"Three? You are too greedy."

"Okay, let's make one this year."

"...It's so easy to compromise."

Xun Zhou felt that Duan Chaosheng treated him really unfairly, why would he rather obediently listen to a netizen than call him and say a few more words?Also, a 19-year-old person doesn't even have the most basic awareness of safety precautions. If he dares to agree to such a thing as online dating, he is not afraid of being cheated by him for money and sex?

In order to give Duan Chaosheng more time to think calmly and give him a chance to regret, Xunzhou chose to lie: "I will be on a business trip for a few days, and the signal over there is not good, so I may not be online much."

[Coordinate axis XZ]: Well, I'll wait for you to come back.

Tsk, it's like a lover's tone... It's obvious that his nickname still has his initials.

When facing Duan Chaosheng as "Coordinate Axis Y", Xunzhou couldn't show any dissatisfaction in his reality. He sent a gentle smiley face symbol and said: "I will try my best to find opportunities to connect to the Internet."

[Coordinate axis XZ]: It's okay, work is important.

Being so considerate, he was completely different from the usual indifference towards him.

"Well, I'm going to bed first. I have to get up early for the flight tomorrow morning."

Xun Zhou typed the last line, and in less than two seconds, Duan Chaosheng replied "Good night", followed by a heavy exclamation point, showing enthusiasm.

"Why are you so stupid..." Xun Zhou murmured to himself, his voice was full of affection that couldn't be concealed.

How much do you dislike the environment you live in to entrust your feelings to a person you have never met and who may disappear at any time?Seeing that he was so obedient to him, Xun Zhou couldn't bear to pretend to be disconnected from the Internet.

——It’s okay, just wait a little longer.

Xun Zhou took a deep look at the words sent by Duan Chaosheng for the last time.

—Wait for me to enter your life.

At dinner, my mother cut off a large piece of birthday cake and put it on a paper plate. When I handed it to Chao Sheng, a piece of thick cream fell and touched their fingertips.

Chao Sheng hated sweet and greasy things, so he immediately took out a tissue to wipe his hands clean.

My mother sat down and said earnestly: "I am 19 years old, I will be an adult in the future, and I can no longer do whatever I want."

Chao Sheng rolled the paper towel into a fluffy ball and threw it to the side of the bowl, "I can do whatever I want, am I not at work right now?"

"Didn't I just remind you." The mother said, and kept adding meat to the chaosheng bowl, "Mom is someone who has been there, and understands your thoughts at your age. You are restless, I know, let you work now You must be thinking about when to resign, right?"

"Don't make random guesses about me, okay?"

"I didn't guess at you. I don't know what you look like? Do you think you are great when you are young?" Mother laughed, "Young people think that they are like birds and butterflies, so I love them all. It's a moth. You have to mature quickly and stop being like them."

"'who are they?"

"It's not who, I just said that." Mother poured him a glass of plum juice, "Aren't you in the library now, read more books, it's free anyway. Your bow and arrows should be put away , Don’t waste your time on such useless things all day long, and no one will give you money.”

Chao Sheng wanted to refute and reason, but retreated after seeing his mother's calm expression, so he could only bow his head and reply, "Oh."

Every meal at home is accompanied by his mother's chatter, Chaosheng has long been used to it, and he doesn't bother to be serious with her everywhere, so that she won't spread the flames on his father after he leaves.

"Go to bed early after dinner, and don't secretly play with your phone."

"it is good."

Even though he is 19 years old, his mother still asks him to "mature quickly" while treating him as a complete child, constantly urging and disciplining him, exhausting Chaosheng's patience bit by bit.

Because of the influence of his mother, he is now facing his elders, instead of communicating with respect, he is weakly accommodating.

After staying at home like this for two days, Chao Sheng was finally relieved and got on the bus back to school.

At night, the car parked at the back gate of the school.Chao Sheng was able to pass by the library before returning to the apartment. He remembered that Xun Zhou put a gift for himself in the storage box, and now he went to get it.The storage box needs to be opened with a barcode, but Chaosheng has the keys to all the boxes, so picking up the goods is very simple.

C19... The number is also my own age, I don't know if it's a coincidence or Xunzhou did it on purpose.

There was a dark blue rectangular box lying in the cabinet. Chao Sheng saw the trash can in front of him, so he tore off the wrapping paper.

What was exposed was a hard plastic box. Chao Sheng removed all the packaging and saw clearly that it was a movie disc.

"It's a Wonderful Life"?

With his English level, he can still understand the name of the movie.

What age is this, how can anyone send this thing.The DVD player at home has long been dusty, and there is no computer to play CDs at school.

But this is someone else's wish anyway, even if Chao Sheng didn't feel pleasantly surprised, he was somewhat satisfied.

After returning to the apartment, Chao Sheng put the CD box on the table, then took off his heavy clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

The water temperature at this time was just right, and the small space was immediately filled with hot mist.

The switch of the shower is some distance away from me, and I need to stretch my arm to touch it.So when Chaosheng raised his neck to enjoy the warm water, the sudden thinning of the water made him react quickly——

power cut.

"Damn it." When he opened his eyes, it was really dark, and Chao Shengqing couldn't help making a sound.

It was already the end of the month, and he forgot to pay the fee before he went home that day, thinking he would last until the end of the month.

Chao Sheng was filled with great irritability. There was still foam on his neck that had not been rinsed off. Now he had to unscrew the cold water from the sink to clean it up. His fingertips were shaking from the cold.

He came out wrapped in a towel, and the bedroom wasn't much warmer.

Chao Sheng wanted to go out to pay the electricity bill now, but his hair was already soaked, and going out to dry it would definitely cause a headache, and he didn't want to suffer that kind of torture.

If I knew it earlier, I would have downloaded the school’s self-service fee payment software. I have to go to the payment hall to scan the QR code to download it, which is not available on the website.Chao Sheng sighed, took out two new towels from the closet, and blotted himself dry.

He called a colleague in the library, but the other party's phone should have been muted, and there was no response.And Lin Yao was never at school on weekends, so he couldn't help.

Chao Sheng clenched his hands tightly, relying on the little warmth he had to keep warm.

I can only call the person on the other side.

Chao Sheng flipped through the chat history and found the unfamiliar number that hadn't been saved. After hesitating for a moment, his self-esteem was finally defeated by Han Yi, and he made up his mind to dial the number.

"Hey?"

I didn't expect Xunzhou to pick up so soon.

"That, Xun..." Chao Sheng bit his lower lip, and said the address with difficulty, "Teacher Xun?"

"Well, it's me." Xun Zhou's voice was very relaxed and happy.

"Are you in the apartment?"

"I was drinking outside." Xun Zhou said, "What's wrong?"

"Do you have that in your mobile phone, the school's electricity payment software?"

"Never heard of that thing."

Chao Sheng was a little disappointed: "Oh... so..."

"The power went out?" Xun Zhou guessed the reason why he called himself.

"Well." Chao Sheng was about to hang up the phone, "I'll ask someone else, goodbye."

"Wait a minute, I'll be right back."

"Ah?" The towel on Chao Sheng's shoulders just slipped off, and he caught it hastily, "Are you just coming back?"

Xun Zhou over there didn't answer right away, Chao Sheng heard his slight breathing, and then said "No" lightly.

When Xun Zhou spoke again, there was a strong smile in his tone: "I'm here to help you."
