gentle collapse

When I went downstairs the next morning, I looked downstairs at the corner of the stairs, and Ke Ke was standing at the bottom of the building, wearing a dark blue woolen coat, carrying a backpack, with her hands in her pockets, silently Stand downstairs.

What I am most afraid of is this, a person's temperament suddenly changes because of one incident.As I walked towards her, she took her hand out and stared at me.

"Let's go." I looked at her swollen eyes, she turned her face away, sniffed, and hummed.

In the detention center, Xie Yu and Ke Ke looked at each other calmly. I stood for a while, then retreated silently, and asked the police for details.Xie Yu skipped class yesterday and went to Luoyuan Square to participate in the parade of time travellers.When the police intervened in this activity, a group of people were dissatisfied with the police intervention and forced eviction, and besieged the few policemen near them.As the situation at the scene was seriously out of control, the police began to arrest those who participated in the parade.Xie Yu held up the banner and did not participate in the attack on the police. The situation is not serious and he can be released after fifteen days of detention.

Xie Yu has always wanted to go back, but the government has not done anything in this regard. Although the policies specially formulated for time travelers are getting more and more perfect, there are few plans to send time travelers back to their original time and space. Maybe they feel that providing such a public The cost of scientific research that needs to be invested in the service is too high, so it is not planned to do so.

I went in again, Ke Ke said to Xie Yu: "Don't think about going back, just stay."

"You used to say..."

"I used to encourage you not to give up the hope of going back. I said that everyone should be with their families. What you are fighting for is legitimate rights. I also said a lot...I can't remember clearly myself." She Tears flowed down his chin and soaked into his clothes, "But there is no way now, this is not something that can be solved by protesting. If you stay, we can also have a complete family. I am willing to have a baby with you. If you are not willing With me, you can also find someone you like, don’t regard this place as hell, okay. It’s too dangerous for you to do this.”

"Ke Ke, don't cry." He stretched out his hand from the iron bars to wipe her tears.The policeman gave a hello and moved forward, trying to stop the behavior.I stood in front, glanced at Xie Yu, took Ke Ke's hand and walked out.

I said to her: "When he comes out, you can have a good chat with him, and I will take you home first."

"I didn't tell my family that I can't go home at this time. It's better to go back to school for class first. I brought the books, so you can go back and get them." When I went downstairs to my house, I told her a few words, and she Nod.

I saw that she had regained a little vitality, so I turned around and went upstairs with a smile, just in time to see my brother in the living room holding a stack of papers and looking at it carefully.I looked at my watch and asked him while changing my shoes: "Brother, it's already this time, why haven't you left the house yet? It will take you more than an hour to get to the company by bus."

"I read the documents so much that I forgot the time." He stood up in a panic, lowered his head and cleaned up the table, "I wanted to get acquainted with the documents for today's seminar...then I'm leaving first."

"If it's too late, take a taxi." I saw him hurrying out, and shouted to him, I don't know if he heard.

When I entered the classroom, Chen Wei kept looking up at me, and when I sat down, he turned his head away again, and I simply ignored him.

"I want to see He Yuchen." Chen Wei said suddenly.

I stuffed my schoolbag into the drawer, and said to him while taking the book: "Then you go to see him."

"He doesn't want to see me. Lin An, don't trust him too much. Everything he said may be false. I didn't tell you that he changed his ID card and moved out of the My family. When I accepted this fact, I was depressed and sad, and he suddenly came to comfort me, and he would follow me every once in a while. You also saw him standing outside the classroom." Chen Wei said softly , "He was very afraid of me at first, and would always deliberately keep a distance from me. Later, he re-entered my life and cared about me. In the end, when he saw me, he was very angry and very angry."

I asked him, "So? Why do you want to meet him if you suspect that he is acting strangely and conspiring against others?"

"So, could he be Zhang Ran? After he was reborn, he felt that it was a mistake to like me before, so he did this series of things." Chen Wei lowered his eyelids, with a hint of pleading in his voice, "Can you make an appointment with me?" come out."

"No." I shook my head and refused, not intending to say anything more.He Yuchen is not Zhang Ran, even if he is, then their affairs should be resolved by themselves.

Chen Wei turned his head and said angrily, "Your brother submitted his resume to my company a few days ago."

I immediately became anxious and asked, "Why? He did a good job in the past, and his salary was raised a while ago."

"How do I know? My dad specifically asked me about this matter last night. It stands to reason that he should give your brother some face. If you invite Zhang Ran... no, He Yuchen to meet me..."

I dropped the book on the table, and the noise in the classroom suddenly stopped.I felt so enraged that I walked out of the classroom.I've never been in a situation where someone takes what is most important to me and blackmails me into doing something I don't want to do.I leaned against the railing of the corridor and sat down against the white tiles.I figured my brother might actually be out of work, his morning alarm never went off, he's never been one of those people who doesn't have a sense of time, but counting today he was "late" at least twice.

A teacher stopped in the hallway and asked me why I wasn't teaching in the classroom.Before I could react, my arms were grabbed and dragged up, and I ran around the teacher.

Chen Wei let go of my arm and said to me, "I'm sorry for what happened just now."

"Why do you say sorry to me for my useless and pitiful self-esteem, do you have to apologize to me?" I talked to him excitedly.

"I want to see Zhang Ran, I'm about to be tortured crazy!" Chen Wei was also excited, and said to me with a choked voice, "I thought I would focus on changing my own destiny, and stay away from ignoring the traverser and treating him as a stranger Man, everything will be fine. But no, I want to see Zhang Ran, even if I can only see his face. I went to find He Yuchen, but he refused to say a word to me. I'm sorry, I I don't want to blackmail you with this matter, I was just talking nonsense."

I looked at Chen Wei's face and shook my head slowly again: "Go find him yourself, do you know that he works in a cement outlet? No. 441 Lingyun Road. If that's where you went to find him, but he doesn't want to There's nothing I can do to talk to you."

Chen Wei said to me: "One day you will understand me."

I walked back and entered the classroom again. Zheng Yi sat in Chen Wei's position and patted the bench: "Sit down."

I asked weakly, "Why did you sit next to me?"

"Isn't it just to wait for you to come back? I see that your relationship with Chen Wei has been very tense recently. Did something unpleasant happen? He has a very weird temper, no one wants to play with him, don't you I'm annoyed by him. Let's go to the office and apply for a seat change after class is over, and we will sit together."

"Do you think the math teacher would agree?"

Zheng Yi said indifferently: "Old Zhangtou agrees, it's over. I feel tired when you are stuck with him every day like this."

I nodded unhappily and buried my head.My brother is unemployed, but he intends to hide it from me, how should I ask him?or not to ask?

I really want to say something to someone, anything.Now I can understand why Chen Wei talked to me so much even though he didn't know me very well.There are some things in my heart, and if I cover them, they will ferment and become stinky.I glanced at Zheng Yi, who was sitting next to me, and gave up the idea of ​​talking again, because at that time, he was talking to the people in the front seat and smiling very happily.

During my lunch break, I went to the playground alone, and just as I was standing by the fence, someone came over and asked, "Do you want cigarettes?" I shook my head, and he continued to ask, "Do you want something else to eat?"

"No, thank you." I said as I walked to the side and sat on the high steps of the auditorium.

After a while, a few more students came by the fence to fetch food.I turned sideways to look at the delivery guy, it wasn't him.It's not like someone calls mutton powder every day, I think.

I sat on the steps for a long time, and from time to time, couples brought food here to eat together. I watched them from a distance, and I didn’t feel hungry.

"Hello, Lin An."

I heard someone calling me next to me, I turned around, but I didn't see anyone.After searching for a while, I found a hand stretched out from the fence covered in green vines, waving it slightly.

"It's you, are you here to deliver mutton powder again?" I walked over and saw a low-level traverser with a carrying system carrying several boxes.When these words slipped through my mind, I still felt a little funny. Until now, I still don’t remember his name, but he remembers mine.

"We also sell rice bowls and noodles in our store." He picked up the takeaway boxes and showed me, "Great, I met you here again, and I pay attention every day when I deliver food here. Looking for you, so that I don't have to go to your house to bother you. The store is always busy, and the system keeps urging me. Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat." I nodded, afraid that he would give me the takeaway that was supposed to be delivered, and then run back to make trouble again.

After he heard it, he gave me an ooh, then looked at me a few times, but he had nothing to say, so he just stood there.After a long time, he may feel a little embarrassed, so he looks at his phone from time to time, muttering in a low voice: "Why don't you come, if you procrastinate, it's time for get out of class to end."

"Maybe something has delayed it." I continued dryly.

He suddenly turned pale, put the box into the bicycle behind him, and said to me sincerely: "The system has given me an order, don't listen carefully to what I say next, it's so disgusting...I love you, I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you..."

After repeating it many times, he finally completed the task with a relieved expression on his face.I couldn't help laughing out loud.He looked at me helplessly and apologized to me.

Later, I waited until he finished delivering the food and watched him get on his bike.He turned around and asked me: "Aren't you going to leave? Or do you have something to say to me?"

"It's nothing, I just don't know what to do, so I sat on the playground for a while." I shook my hand and asked him, "How have you been recently?"

He held the faucet with both hands, let the bicycle back, stood in front of me and said to me: "It's not very good, haven't there been more and more parades recently? So the situation of the traversers is getting more and more embarrassing. The government has just issued a notice saying that if a transmigrant has caused serious harassment to the aborigines, they can be arrested after reporting. Will I annoy you?"

"No, I won't report you."

"Thanks then." He smiled shyly, and then said, "You don't seem to be in a good mood, what happened?"

"I... I want to ask, do you know where there are jobs nearby?"

He thought for a while: "A few days ago I heard someone in the store say that Ruiyin Studio is recruiting people, I really want to try it, but they refuse to accept time travelers, I will go and ask for you this afternoon. Aren't you studying, why do you want to find a job again, or help others find it?"

I didn't know what to say about it, so I was silent for a while.

He comforted me and said: "It's okay, don't say anything if you don't want to say it, come here after school tomorrow at noon or afternoon, and I'll let you know when I have news. Goodbye, Lin An, see you tomorrow."

The road outside was going downhill. I watched him step on the pedals a few times and then quickly disappeared from my sight.

I walked to the classroom in a daze, and sat from noon until late at night.

I went home and opened the door. My brother was sitting in the living room watching TV. He turned around when he heard the noise, and I said to him, "I'm back."
