Rebirth Bias

Since the two of them had walked through the flowers and listened to the corner together, Lu Na took advantage of the opportunity and invited Brother Glasses to eat fat sausages together.Brother Glasses readily agreed, and happily talked to Lu Ne about the delicacies of various places along the way. It turned out that this guy used the name of the art test to travel, and came to play along the way.

Two plates of fat intestines were eaten, and the glasses brother smacked his oily lips, dragged out a stack of crumpled A4 papers from his Adidas bag, like underground party joints, and said mysteriously: "I think This guy is amazing, he said that Hemingway's suicide was caused by impotence, Hitchcock was gay, he was obsessed with Grant and couldn't ask for it—"

Lu Na looked down, and was immediately amused. It was the martial arts secret book of that buddy named Zhang Chi, and he immediately felt that the kid opposite was really kind.

The two strolled outside until the time when the rankings were released, and then they hurried to the film school.There was already a sea of ​​people in front of the notice board at the entrance of the Film Academy, and at a glance, they were all black and swaying heads.Brother Spectacles took the lead, pushing forward with the fearless spirit of a revolutionary martyr, gaining countless blank eyes along the way.

After a while, I saw the glasses brother jumping like Wang Baoqiang while waving desperately at Lu Ne who was outside the crowd, "Muna, Muna, your name is on it, we all entered!"

He didn't care about the glaring looks from the people around him, and after shouting, he took a lot of effort to squeeze out of the crowd, and jumped in front of Lu Ne, showing a smirk that made people want to greet him with a pan, "Hey, Muna, what are you doing?" Not happy at all, you entered!"

Lu Ne said with a sullen face, "My name is just two characters, you can't change them all—and, are you sure you saw Lu Ne, not Muna?"

"Ah?" Brother Glasses looked at Lu Ne innocently, and after a while he realized, "Ah, what, I have to call my dad to tell him the news." After speaking, he took out his Adi bag and took it out. , took out a Nokia mobile phone.

In fact, Lu Ne doesn't really believe in the eyes of Brother Glasses, and he also has self-knowledge, as far as his alternative version of radio gymnastics, unless the examiner treats him particularly differently, otherwise, hang.Fortunately, his mentality is quite calm, he is a person who has died once, and some gains and distortions are not so important.The big deal is to repeat the study for another year, anyway, no one knows that his body is filled with old goods in the [-]s and [-]s, so it is not shameful.

But after seeing his name on the list, Lu Ne's mentality immediately took a 180-degree turn. He felt that this film school is really high-level, and the examiners all have a pair of piercing eyes. .

Brother Glasses came back after making the phone call, frowning and looking at the list.Lu Ne was in a good mood, so he didn't care about him changing his name, and asked him, "Are you so happy?"

"No, I'm just wondering, why is it the Department of Directing? I thought I applied for the Department of Photography—" After a while, the child figured it out by himself, "The Department of Directing should be the Department of Directing, it's pretty much the same anyway." He asked Lu Ne enthusiastically where he was going to play in the afternoon.

Lu Na really knelt down to this brainless glasses brother, rejected his enthusiastic invitation, and called Granny Lu.

I didn’t get a ticket for the latest time, and it was almost eight o’clock in the evening when I got home. It was a dark summer night, and there was a faint sound of crying and chanting in the warm wind. En called.

From far away, he saw a light on the second floor of Lu's house. When Lu Na entered the door, he saw Korean dramas playing on the TV. His old lady was sitting on the sofa opposite, dozing off bit by bit, when she heard the sound of the door opening, The old lady woke up suddenly, "Oh, I'm finally back, the rice is in the rice cooker, hurry up and eat—"

Lu Ne put the satchel on the chair, walked towards the kitchen and said, "You can sleep by yourself when it's late, why wait for me? It's not that I don't know the way."

The old lady didn't argue with him, and when she was about to walk into the bedroom, she said, "Unplug the rice cooker, and clean your own bowl after eating—"

Lu Na waved his hand, "I know, I know, you should go to sleep quickly."

The rice has been kept warm in the rice cooker, and as soon as it was opened, the hot aroma came out, and Lu Ne immediately felt hungry.

Three dishes and one soup, stir-fried rice cakes with blue crab, sweet and sour short ribs, fried beef tendon with lentils, and a loofah preserved egg soup. The old lady put a lot of effort into this table dish.Lu Na smiled, feeling warm in his heart, but accidentally ate too much.

Lying on the bed at night, as if there was a stone in my stomach, I couldn't fall asleep. After two or three o'clock, I finally fell asleep. I don't know how long I slept, but I was woken up by the sound of mourning and mourning. Yes, I didn't get a good night's sleep.

Waking up dizzy the next day, I couldn't help yawning during breakfast, which made Mrs. Lu furious, "You child, how can you yawn while eating? It's a sin, and the Buddha will blame it! "

Lu Na didn't argue with the old lady about materialism and idealism, and asked casually, "Whose family here is going to hold the funeral?"

Granny Lu's expression became a little sad for a moment, and she said, "Shi Yu's grandma."

"What?" Lu Ne was startled.

Grandma Shi Yu was about the same age as Mrs. Lu, which probably reminded her of herself, and sighed, "I heard that she slipped at the back door, and she didn't get up."

Lu Ne's heart sank, as if he had been hit with a sap, and he became dizzy for a while.He tried his best to recall what happened at this time in his previous life, but it's been too long, besides, Lu Na was just an immature half-child at that time, except for studying, fighting and reading pornographic books, he knew nothing, and he deliberately avoided it Chen Shiyu.Lu Na couldn't think of anything about Grandma Chen's death.

As expected, Lu Ne did not see Chen Shiyu at school.Throughout the morning, Lu Ne was in a daze, lying on the table, always involuntarily thinking about his previous life, thinking of the back of Chen Shiyu turning away in the stairwell, and thinking of his anger and moodiness when we saw each other.He even wondered if Grandma Chen shouldn't have passed away at this time, but because of her own rebirth, like a butterfly's wings, a tiny flap changed the fate of many people.

As soon as the morning class was over, Lu Ne climbed over the wall and left the school, heading straight to Chen Shiyu's house.

Chen's house is on the second floor of a single room at the end of the street at the end of Danshan Road. Grandma Chen and Chen Shiyu live there. Grandma Chen has another son and a daughter who don't live here.Lu Ne didn't see Grandma Chen many times. This little old lady always cleaned up, lived in seclusion, and didn't socialize with the neighbors around her, as if she was separated from the whole Danshan Road Street.Now that I think about it, it is very likely that Grandma Chen felt unable to hold her head up in front of her neighbors because of Chen Shiyu's father.

When Lu Ne arrived, what he saw was not the usual bustling scene of people having a funeral meal together after a funeral. The door of Chen's house was very deserted, and a four or five-year-old girl squatted at the door to urinate with her skirt up.Lu Ne hesitated for a while, took two steps in, and looked over, suddenly a loud voice came from the kitchen, "I am my son, of course the house is left to me!"

A woman snorted mockingly, "You're too embarrassed. We agreed at the beginning. Mom's alimony is half of each of us. My share has already been paid. What about yours? You didn't pay a penny and wanted to take it all by yourself." The house, you think it is very beautiful!"

Then another sharp female voice sounded, "Sister-in-law, it's not a loss if you say that. Why didn't our family pay for it? We didn't pay for the crematorium, the coffin, and the shroud? To put it bluntly, you are all married out." , can no longer be regarded as the Chen family, and of course you have no share in the house."

Lu Ne's footsteps stopped there, and he was about to retreat silently, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him, "Lu Ne?"

Lu Ne turned around and saw Chen Shiyu who came back from outside with a small supermarket bag in his hand looking at him in surprise, and felt a little embarrassed.Chen Shiyu quickly understood. He looked towards the room where the dispute was continuing, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was extremely slight, but Lu Ne caught it.

After the little girl finished urinating, she ran into the house with her skirt in her hands, dragged out an old cloth bag and hung it on her body to play.Chen Shiyu's expression turned ugly all of a sudden, and he forcibly tore the cloth bag off the little girl without saying a word, and the little girl cried loudly.Chen Shiyu just looked at him coldly, with an indescribable indifference and disgust in his eyes.

For a moment, Lu Na didn't know whether to coax the child, he guessed that the cloth bag should have been used by Grandma Chen Shiyu during her lifetime.Chen Shiyu pulled Lu Ne's arm, signaling him to leave.Lu Na was also afraid that the children's cries would attract the adults in the room, who would not only be embarrassed, but also unable to speak clearly, so he quickly followed Chen Shiyu and left there.

"Why did you come here?" Chen Shiyu raised his eyes to look at Lu Na, and asked as he walked.

"I'll come to see you."

The corners of Chen Shiyu's lips hooked slightly, and then returned to the slightly downward arc. The two lips were drawn into a line, resolute and forbearing, and his brows were also slightly twisted, locking the heavy melancholy and sadness, like a hard piece of wood. Stone, even if the sadness in the heart flows into the ocean, it will never overflow a tear.

Lu Ne wanted to say something, but he, who had always been eloquent, thought he had been struggling for half his life, when facing Chen Shiyu like this, he felt a kind of helplessness and futility caught by fate.

The two of them just walked along Danshan Road in silence, walking——

It was early summer, and the noon sun was scorching. Lu Ne just felt that it was really hot, so he asked out of words, "Have you had lunch yet?"

Chen Shiyu hummed, probably tired from walking, so he sat down by a flower bed surrounded by a big camphor tree, lowered his head, unconsciously folded the cloth bag with his fingers, curled up his mouth ironically, and said, "No It's been two days, grandma passed away and started arguing, but there is no result."

Lu Ne realized that what he was talking about was his uncle and aunt fighting for a house. This kind of thing is not uncommon, but it never happened to him. He will never experience the anger and sadness personally.Lu Ne sat down beside him and asked him, "What are you going to do?"

The boy quietly lowered his eyes and said, "I haven't thought about it." After a while, he looked up at Lu Ne and asked him, "Are you going to class?"

Lu Na braced himself and said indifferently, "I won't go, it's boring."

Chen Shiyu smiled shortly, seeming to be a little happy, and asked, "I heard that you are going to take the film school exam, how is it?"

"It's okay." Lu Na talked to him interestingly, and he listened carefully, smiling slightly from time to time, and finally said, "I think you must be fine."

"why?"

"I don't know, I have this feeling - I study until twelve o'clock every day, and I can maintain my current grades by not reading idle books or playing computer games, but you can easily surpass me as long as you read the books carefully for a week. "

Lu Negan laughed a few times, he never knew that Chen Shiyu cared so much about these things, "Actually, half of me relies on short-term memory, and the other half relies on luck. Once, it will fall right away."

Chen Shiyu took out a can of beer from the supermarket bag and gave it to Lu Ne.Lu Ne took it and didn't ask what the beer was for. He pulled the tab and drank most of it with his head raised.The beer glass was a little warm from the sun, and it didn't taste very good, but it finally relieved Lu Ne's dry and smoky throat.

Chen Shiyu took a can himself, took a small sip, held it in his hand, and said, "You are weird."

It was the first time Lu Ne heard such an evaluation, and wondered, "What's wrong?"

"I can't put it into words, but I think you're always quite at ease and yourself, wherever you go, you're surrounded by a bunch of friends, sometimes it's bad, sometimes it's fun—hey, take me to the game city to play Well, I've never been there before." He turned his head to look at Lu Ne, his eyes blazing with excitement.

Lu Na nodded without thinking, and said, "Okay."

They spent the whole afternoon in the game city that day and played all the games. Lu Ne had never seen Chen Shiyu smile so happily. It wasn't the short-lived smile of the past, nor the smile after becoming a big star. The radiant smile really belonged to a teenager, a bright and innocent smile, but Lu Ne always felt that he was crying in his heart.

It was dark when we went back, so Lu Ne wanted to send Chen Shiyu back first, but Chen Shiyu couldn't say anything to him, so he had to let him follow.The small building was pitch black, and the uncle and sister-in-law of the Chen family had already gone back.Chen Shiyu stood at the door without moving for a long time, Lu Na felt strange and asked him, "What's wrong?"

He turned his head and smiled at Lu Ne, the kind of smile that disappeared in an instant without any smile, and said, "They changed the lock."

Under the faint street light, the shiny new locks hurt Lu Ne's eyes.The sister-in-law of the Lu family was afraid that when she was not around, his brother and sister-in-law would take the opportunity to move in and occupy the house, so she just kept changing the door lock when no one was around - no one thought of Chen Shiyu.

Lu Ne trembled with anger, barely restrained himself, and pulled Chen Shiyu's arm, "Go, go to my house."

"No need." Chen Shiyu waved Lu Ne's hand away with an unusually calm voice. He walked to the flower bed by the street, picked up a stone, and began to smash the door lock one after another. During the blows again and again, You Hei The pain and anger revealed in the eyes.Lu Na suddenly pulled him away, said "I'll do it", and snatched the stone from his hand.

Lu Na's hands were stronger than Chen Shiyu's in fighting and playing basketball all the year round, and broke the door lock with just a few hits.Lu Na threw a stone and kicked the door open. Chen Shiyu walked into the dark door and turned to Lu Na, "Okay, you can go back."

Lu Na moved his lips, worried, and said, "How about I accompany you?"

Chen Shiyu looked calm, but said firmly, "It's okay, I can do it by myself."

Lu Ne didn't insist anymore, turned around and took two steps, when Chen Shiyu suddenly stopped him, hesitantly said, "Lu Ne, can you lend me some money?"

Lu Na was taken aback, and quickly fumbled for his pocket. He didn't ask Chen Shiyu how much he wanted, but took out all the money on his body, a total of 320 cents, "Is it enough? Not enough, I'll give it to you tomorrow. "

Chen Shiyu's expression cracked in an instant, and the corners of his mouth were drawn to one side, as if he was about to cry, but he quickly raised his hand to block it, and when he put it down, only the corners of his eyes, which were bluntly red, showed some clues. head and said, "Enough."

Lu Ne handed the crumpled money to Chen Shiyu, and said, "Then I'm leaving, remember to move something against the door when you sleep at night, you know?"

Chen Shiyu nodded, watching Lu Na turn and leave, and when he walked a long way, he turned his head to look worriedly.He turned around and entered the room, turned on the light, his lonely figure was reflected in the brightly lit room, he stood for a while, went upstairs to his room, dragged out a backpack from the closet, and stuffed it indiscriminately. A few clothes went in, then turned off the lights, and left downstairs without looking back.
