The Canary's Trap

Jizhou University planted a few rows of poplars at some time, and in July, they are growing lush and green.

In the evening, when the sun sets on the western mountain, there will be groups of students sitting on benches under the trees to enjoy the shade.

Lu Ling sometimes goes there, but he doesn't like crowds very much. He usually chooses to sneak out with his camera after dark to get some air and take a few photos.

He is not a professional, and the courses he took in college have nothing to do with photography, but he always likes to take pictures of the playground or the busy streets under the sunset with his camera, and what he records are some daily accounts.

In addition, his life is quite satisfactory, and his personality is also lacklustre, but he still can't hide the light that comes with him.

Lu Ling has been outstanding since he was a child. He has a sunny and cheerful personality, and he is very polite in dealing with others. He is very popular in school, especially among the girls. There are many who like him and have a good impression of him.

It's a pity that his emotional intelligence is not high, and he is a little slow emotionally. Although he is not a elm-headed man, he has never been in a serious relationship, and he doesn't know how to get along with girls.

Because of this, my friends often made fun of her: "I said, Lu Ling, you must not be gay, how could you be so cruel to a beautiful girl, you can introduce me if you refuse."

Every time Lu Ling heard it, she would roll her eyes in response.

Whether it's the same or not, there's nothing to study, but he really doesn't call those girls, and he doesn't want to get in touch with them more, and develops an intimate relationship that surpasses that of friends and classmates.

After thinking about it, it is a luxury to like this kind of thing, and it is really rare to be tempted by a person. Maybe, he just hasn't met the kind of person who makes him like it so much that he wants to have a vigorous relationship.

Lu Ling's life has been so smooth along the way. No matter what he wants to do, someone will pave the bright road for him in advance, and he just needs to step on it step by step. Someone caught him firmly.

When he was still young, he didn't dislike this kind of doting too much, but after he entered high school, the boy's self-esteem that grew with his body made him rebellious, neither heavy nor light, and he silently completed his coming-of-age ceremony.

After graduating from high school, he rejected his father's request to let him go abroad, and resolutely chose to study in a key university in city A. In the end, Lu Zhengan couldn't convince him and nodded in agreement. In fact, he just couldn't bear his son to go too far.

Lu Ling got his wish. When he was in his sophomore year, he used the distance from home to school as an excuse to move out by himself, so as to get rid of the excessive attention from his relatives that made him breathless, and to take a breath outside. of fresh free air.

Lu Ling's grandmother refused to agree to it, thinking that he should not be wronged in all aspects of eating and living outside alone.

In the end, it was Lu Zhengan who managed to convince the old lady, but in fact he also had his own intentions.Firstly, he really wanted to exercise his son's independent ability, and secondly, those cousins ​​of Lu Ling were full of dandyism, so he didn't want Lu Ling to have more contact with them.

But the old lady nodded and agreed, and Lu Ling really left, and then temporarily regretted it.Lu Ling had no choice but to drag his unreliable bamboo horse and schoolmate Ji Dingzhe over.

Strictly speaking, he and Ji Dingzhe got to know each other slowly after they moved in their primary school.

Ji Dingzhe is far more unreliable than his cousins, but he is clever and sweet-mouthed, and he is good at coaxing people, which won the old lady's favor.

He was temporarily ordered, and he persuaded the old lady to let her go, but he insisted on asking Ji Dingzhe to follow, Lu Ling had a thousand and ten thousand reluctances in his heart, so he had to force himself to nod.

Once the final decision was made, Lu Ling was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so he moved into the house that Ji Dingzhe asked someone to find the next day.

The house is a three-bedroom house with a large independent balcony and a kitchen. It is south-facing, and the ventilation and lighting are particularly good, ensuring sufficient light even in winter.Lu Ling didn't have too many requirements for his bedroom, but he paid a lot of attention to the design of the balcony. First, it should be spacious, and second, it should have good lighting and a wide view.

Ji Dingzhe once joked about this: "Lu Ling, what is your hobby, if you ask me, the function of the balcony is to do good deeds!"

Lu Ling mostly turned a deaf ear to his words.

At that time, he opened the floor-to-ceiling windows calmly, and the curtain was slightly blown by the morning breeze, brushing against his pretty cheeks, Ji Dingzhe looked at it in a daze.

To be honest, he thought more than once that if Lu Ling was a girl, he would definitely eat the grass beside the nest. Unfortunately, he was a boy, so he changed his mind to make him his brother-in-law, but the two of them didn't know each other at all. Not that spark.

Thinking of this, Ji Dingzhe patted his forehead: "Oh, shit, look at my dog ​​crawling memory, Lulu, come to my house on weekends, ghost girl's birthday, I almost forgot!"

Ji Dingzhe has a younger sister, named Ji Yufei, who is a senior in high school this year. She is eccentric, and the two brothers and sisters are almost made of the same mold.The two often quarreled, but Lu Ling could tell that their relationship was very good, and he was very envious in his heart.

"Yes, I see." Lu Ling replied, "Don't call me by my nickname."

He still doesn't like other people calling this girly name, but Ji Dingzhe seems to be playing tricks on him on purpose, but the more he refuses to call it, the more frightened he is.

"Alright, alright, ancestor, I won't yell, I won't yell anymore, it's because you're so cute, you can't hold back."

Lu Ling didn't get along with him, his eyes shone with a small light, and he looked up at the emerald green outside the window, feeling empty.

"Lu Ling, let's go barbecue this afternoon, see you at the old place." Ji Dingzhe said with a smile and left.

There were no classes on Saturday, so Lu Ling stayed in the library for the whole afternoon. When the time was almost up, he got up and walked out the door.

Unknowingly, the night has already closed, and the sky is sparsely hung with a few stars. After all, the city is not as good as the suburbs. The air is good and the sky is clean. You can see the stars all over the sky.

Unknowingly, Lu Ling walked to the poplar grove of the school, took out his mobile phone and sent Ji Dingzhe a location, and found an empty seat on the bench and sat down.

He bent his long legs, leaned on the back of the chair, there was a green shade above his head, and the evening breeze was blowing in his face, which was extraordinarily cool. He squinted his eyes comfortably, enjoying this moment of peace.

But in the next second, a low growl suppressing his anger broke his tranquility.

"I said, don't worry about me, what I do is my own business and has nothing to do with you!"

Lu Ling frowned involuntarily, and looked behind curiously, only to see a tall young man leaning on the poplar tree trunk, the street lights were dim, and the distance was a little far away, so he couldn't see the man's face clearly.

The man seemed to sense that someone was looking at him, hung up the phone, and looked at Lu Ling casually.

Lu Ling couldn't help but shuddered in his heart. He couldn't even see his face clearly, but he could still feel the coldness and sternness of this gaze, and the air pressure around him dropped several degrees because of this.

He turned his head away in fright, but he didn't know what he was afraid of.

It's just a stranger's eyes, but it's inexplicably familiar.

The man leaned against the tree, looked up at the dark night sky, fumbled in his pocket and took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, pressed the lighter with his thumb, and lit the cigarette.

Lu Ling couldn't help but turned his head back and locked his eyes on him again. The fireworks lit up his face. His nose bridge was high, his lips were thin, and he looked extraordinarily sexy/sensual and abstinent when he was smoking. Lightly wrinkled.

Lu Ling stood up for some reason, feeling that he had seen such a person somewhere before, when he was about to get closer to take a closer look, someone suddenly put his shoulders on his shoulders, and there was a thunder on the ground: "Lulu, I'm sorry, you It's been a long time, I just met a group of grandchildren who made an appointment to play basketball..."

Hearing the voice, the man didn't seem to like being disturbed. He stubbed out the cigarette butt, threw it into the trash can in front of him, turned around and left.

The only spark in the night was also extinguished. Lu Ling was stunned and raised his foot to catch up. Ji Dingzhe pressed his shoulder: "Lu Ling, do you know that person?"

Lu Ling suddenly came back to his senses, made up his mind, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

The leaving figure of the man paused in the dim light. He wanted to look back at them, but he turned half of his body and was pulled back abruptly.

"Lulu, after grilling the skewers, follow me to the mall to pick out gifts for our ghost girl."

Lu Ling's tone was not kind: "Ji Dingzhe, don't call me Lulu!"

Ji Dingzhe liked to see his red face, and continued to shout without fear of death: "Lulu, good Lulu, haha, why don't you shout, how cute!"

Lu Ling slapped his hand that was holding her shoulder, and for some reason there was a chill down her back.
