The Midnight Owl

"Didn't you ask for leave?"

"Well, so I resigned."

"Resigned?"

"Resigned."

"Okay, I'll book the plane ticket now."

"Could your reaction be any colder..."

"Xu Wang."

"what!"

"I want to support you, but I don't have enough money at the moment, so I can't promise easily..."

"roll."

Hanging up the phone angrily, Xu Wangte regretted rushing to inform the other party that he had resigned as soon as he finished saving the money.

No, what I regret more is the confession I made when I first joined Owl!It's a good thing that Wu Sheng didn't believe it, but not believing it doesn't mean he won't be teased. Wu Sheng has firmly grasped the handle of his life!

It was eleven o'clock in the morning when I returned to the rental house with my head down. Unexpectedly, when I opened the door, the room was filled with the smell of tea.

Kuang Jinxin was sitting in the living room, sitting opposite Wu Sheng across the tea table, drinking tea leisurely, the picture was very Buddhist.

"Brother Xu, you are back!" Seeing him coming back, Kuang Jinxin greeted immediately, "Come and have a taste, no matter what troubles I encounter, as long as I have a sip of tea, my heart will be relieved, you can try it too."

Xu Wang knew that Kuang Jinxin's major was tea science, and he always heard him talk about tea, but this was the first time he saw him making tea and drinking tea, so he leaned over with great interest, took the teacup, and took a sip.

Kuang Jinxin is still waiting for his aftertaste, eyes full of anticipation.

Xu Wang felt that the irritability and distracting thoughts in his heart were dissipated in the tea fragrance, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously: "It's delicious."

He doesn't understand tea, and he can't tell the truth, but he can tell the good from the bad.

Kuang Jinxin smiled, and the simple and honest brows and eyes were full of satisfaction.

Xu Wang suddenly envied him.It is a blessing to be able to devote time and energy to the things you like in your life.

"The flight ticket is booked." Wu Sheng put down his teacup and informed him of the latest progress, "Today at five o'clock in the afternoon."

Xu Wang didn't expect him to move so fast: "To Yulin?"

"Well," Wu Sheng said, "Yuyang Airport."

Xu Wang nodded, drank the teacup to the bottom, got up and went back to the bedroom to pack his bags.

Wu Sheng is a computer bag with two shoulders, which is as light as going to work in Zhongguancun; Kuang Jinxin is a huge mountaineering bag that is half a person tall and full of stuff, as heavy as if he is going to escape; Xu Wang is not as chic as Wu Sheng Uninhibited, not to mention that Jin Xin was so thoughtful and spared his life, and finally packed a slightly larger casual backpack.

As soon as it was packed, Wu Sheng appeared at the door of the bedroom, and asked without thinking: "Has the salary been paid?"

Xu Wang replied without thinking, "It's over, it's a lot."

Wu Sheng nodded and left cleanly.

Xu Wang was baffled. After thinking for a long time, he only had the explanation of "Wu Sheng has a bit of a conscience. I know to ask him if he wants hard-earned money." I think too much, and I am too sentimental.

After packing their backpacks, the three had a simple lunch and headed to Nanyuan Airport together.

In the evening, the flight took off on time.

The new coordinates (109.7395,38.3437, [-]), the location on the satellite map is exactly the same as what Wu Sheng judged, it is the northern part of Shaanxi, and to be more precise, it is four kilometers north of Yulin City, Zhenbeitai.

It is not an obscure place, but one of the most majestic landscapes in the ruins of the Great Wall. It is as famous as Jiayuguan and Shanhaiguan, and is called "the first station of the Great Wall".

In normal times, Xu Wang would definitely have endlessly wonderful fantasies about this trip with great interest, but after being tortured for three consecutive nights, now he only hopes to end this weird "night life" as soon as possible, and sleep until he hugs his pillow. Forever.

In fact, he did the same thing, and he met Zhou Gong as soon as he got on the plane.

He fell into the dream with him and his little friend surnamed Kuang.

Wu Sheng also wanted to sleep, but the head of someone sitting next to him kept pressing on his shoulder, which really disturbed his sleep.Just as he was pondering whether to withdraw his shoulders or push him up, the plane suddenly jolted.

It is common for Wu Sheng to encounter turbulence during flight, and Wu Sheng is used to it, and the plane did stabilize again very quickly.

But this shock woke up Xu Wangdian, raised his face sleepily, and asked blankly, "What's wrong? It's twelve o'clock?"

Wu Sheng: "It's early, let's sleep with you."

The tone of voice was disgusting, but underneath the voice was a gentleness that he didn't even notice.

Xu Wang saw that he hadn't woken up at all, and when he heard "It's early", he was instantly relieved, put his head back on Wu Sheng's shoulder, and continued whistling.

His actions were so natural that Wu Sheng was taken aback.

After a while, Wu Sheng also closed his eyes, pretended to be asleep, tilted his head slightly and put his head on Xu Wang's again.

You put my shoulders on my shoulders, and I put your head on yours. Wu Sheng, who finally felt that it was not a loss, dreamed of Yulin.

Just after 06:30, the plane arrived at Yuyang Airport on time. Instead of going to downtown Yulin, the three of them took a taxi and went directly to Beiyuemiao Village, which is the closest to Zhenbeitai. I wanted to sneak in and wait directly at the coordinate point, but I was more determined than courageous. I didn’t fix the coordinates when I turned around, and I was caught by the security guards. It would be worse.

By the time we got off the taxi, it was almost dark.The temperature displayed on the mobile phone is almost the same as that in Beijing, but the wind is obviously colder, with the unique strength and roughness of the Northwest.

This is a typical developing northern village. On both sides of the flat and wide asphalt road, there are neat buildings and bungalows of different heights and ages. There are private cars in a hurry and chatting in front of and behind the house. The villagers and neighbors of the day.

"One standard room and one single room?" The front desk of the hotel was a bit embarrassed by the request made by the new customers. "We don't have single rooms."

Xu Wang also thought about this situation, and immediately changed to Plan B: "Then two standard rooms." After speaking, he looked back at Wu Sheng and Kuang Jinxin, "Is this okay?"

Wu Sheng has no objection.

Kuang Jinxin also nodded smoothly, but still had a little question: "Then we...who will live with whom?"

Xu Wang rubbed his nose, his eyes drifted unconsciously: "Uh, it's fine, let's see, who lives differently from whom."

"Well, whatever you want, you won't be staying for long anyway." Wu Sheng focused on holding his mobile phone as if he was bowing his head, as if there was a whole world in it.

Kuang Jinxin always felt that there was a subtle atmosphere floating in the entire hotel lobby, but he couldn't discern the deep meaning, and was struggling, when he heard the aunt at the front desk speak heartily: "Oh, you children, we have a standard room for three people. !"

The problem was solved, and Kuang Jinxin was overjoyed: "Great!"

Wu Sheng put the phone back into his pocket and looked away silently.

Xu Wang took the key from his aunt and praised "sincerely": "Sister, your house is really comprehensive."

After simply putting away their luggage, the three of them casually ate a meal nearby, thinking about what happened at night, so they didn't taste anything.

After filling my stomach, I went back to the hotel again. It was only [-]:[-]. Anyway, waiting was waiting, so I simply set the alarm clock and slept again.After all, what they lack the most these days is sleep.

This time, there are pillows and a bed, which is much more comfortable than an airplane. Not to mention Xu Wang and Kuang Jinxin who have good sleep quality, even Wu Sheng fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

Soon, the three breaths rose and fell evenly in the room, and the partners who had been exhausted for many days slowly recovered their energy in this rare peace and comfort.

Time goes by little by little, and the dream becomes more and more fragrant...

"This is muddy soup. It's pure mutton stew. It's added with vegetarian stew and meat soup. I haven't eaten it yet. Just the smell is unbearable..."

"Huo, this soup is perfect!"

"Suck it-"

"Suck it-"

"This noodle is also domineering! In Shaanxi dialect, it's called '把呀啪'! When I first bought noodles, the boss told me that their noodles are still made in the ancient way, and you will pay ten for fake ones!"

"Ah? "When you eat meat, you will hate less" asked me how to eat it. Is it an ancient way? I don't know, I ate it for the first time today hahaha..."

"The next thing is oil cake, it's fried golden, let me try it—"

"Kaz—"

"Kaz—"

"Damn! Crazy! Who the hell is this!" Xu Wang slapped himself out of bed, and after living for 29 years, he was awakened by someone for the first time.

Looking back, Wu, who was in the next bed, had already sat up, folded his arms and frowned, staring at the wall where the sound came from, every cell in his body was worried.

On the contrary, Kuang Jinxin, who was closest to the wall, slept comfortably, completely blocking out external disturbances.

"Xiao Kuang's sleep quality must be considered high-tech." Xu Wang sighed enviously, then winked at Wu Sheng, and asked in a low voice, "Will you go?"

It's just two words, but Wu Sheng understood it in seconds.

"Walk."

It was rare for Xu Wang and Wu Sheng to share the same hatred. They got out of bed and left the house cleanly. After gently closing the door of their own room from the outside, they knocked on the door of the next room without hesitation.

The hustle and bustle inside the door came to an abrupt end, and even the corridor became quiet. Soon, a vigilant voice came from across the door: "Who—"

Xu Wang and Wu Sheng looked at each other and said in unison: "Next door."

The voices of the two men seemed to make the inside of the door more alert. After the rustling of the padlock, the door slowly opened a narrow gap, revealing half of a man's face: "What's the matter?"

Although his face is only half-open, but at first glance, he looks like a strong, big-armed, round-waisted master. Xu Wang decided to salute first and then fight: "Hello, we are in the room next door. We are tired from traveling all day. It's already 10:30 in the evening. Look at you." Can you keep your voice down while eating and chatting here?"

Xu Wang said it in a slow voice, with a very polite and discussive tone. The man inside the door obviously didn't expect such a gentle opening speech. , I didn’t pay attention just now, I must keep my voice down from now on!”

Xu Wang didn't expect this person to be quite talkative, and immediately gave a friendly smile: "It's not easy to go out, understand each other, understand each other."

The man nodded repeatedly. Seeing that a dispute was about to turn into a drizzle, Wu Sheng, who had been silent from the beginning to the end, suddenly said, "Qian Ai?"

The man inside the door was stunned. It was the first time he took a serious look at Wu Sheng. After a while, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe it: "Squad leader?!"

"No, wait, what's the situation?" Xu Wang was a little confused, his eyes moved back and forth a few times on the faces of Wu Sheng and the man inside the door, and as if he suddenly reacted, he suddenly fixed on the face behind the chain lock, " Do you love money?!"

The four eyes met, and the memory of going through the window together also surged ashore in the mind of the man inside the door: "Sports committee?!"

"..." Xu Wang finally understood that his old classmate marked his youth by his class committee position.
