wake up daydreaming

As the capital city of the province, U City has convenient and well-developed transportation. There are eight subway lines alone. There are multiple lines at the station within a 3-minute walk from the Fujie Hotel. Chen Yuqian stopped after scanning the code and entered the gate, like It was because he suddenly forgot which road sign to follow, and Yu Zhou, who was following him, bumped his shoulder, glanced at him and motioned him to follow him in the direction of Line [-].

The two soon came to the waiting area. The screens on both sides showed that the train they were about to take would arrive in 3 minutes, and Yu Zhou went to the rear of the train. bigger.

"What kind of eyes do you have?" Yu Zhou put his hands into the pockets of his coat, and purposely looked up and down Chen Yuqian with that offensive look, "Have you never seen a rich second generation like me who is so diligent and frugal in managing his family and taking the subway?"

Chen Yuqian really thought that Yu Zhou was delivered by the driver today, and he would take a taxi after the end, instead of squeezing the subway with him.Yu Zhou sighed, earnestly said: "It's not that you have misunderstood the rich second generation, but you have no imagination about the severity of traffic jams in U City's morning and evening rush hours."

Whenever Yu Zhou talked poorly and he couldn't say a word, Chen Yuqian would always have the urge to hug someone's shoulders and neck and rub his hair vigorously. He resisted every time, and the urge was accompanied by hesitation Not sure, I always feel that the two of them are not familiar enough to do such intimate actions.

Compared with Chen Yuqian's pair of hands that wanted to touch but never reached out, Yu Zhou might really have a social aura.Not to mention physical contact, Yu Zhou always took out Chen Yuqian's mobile phone confidently, and after unlocking it forcibly in his face, he would not have the slightest psychological pressure to pry into the other party's privacy. According to the chat records, the two indeed had a brief exchange.

Qiao Yi sent the screenshot of the email containing the meeting time and place to Chen Yuqian, and Chen Yuqian sent a [? 】.Qiao Yi said that the other party was Yu Zhou's mother, and Chen Yuqian sent another [? 】.

Chen Yuqian's reaction was human nature.Even if he agreed to try it with Yu Zhou, he didn't need another person to meet Yu Zhou's mother, not to mention he wasn't Yu Zhou's boyfriend yet, so there was no reason to get involved.Qiao Yi asked him again: 【Don't you want to know why Yu Zhou is an alpha? 】

What he said, it seemed that Yu Zhou should be an omega.Chen Yuqian was probably quite speechless and had a headache, so he replied: [You pay too much attention to him. 】

"He doesn't pay attention to me, but likes you, and you are entangled with me." Yu Zhou raised his eyebrows when he saw Chen Yuqian showing the helpless expression of "how is that possible? Don't talk nonsense and don't guess." Said, "Omega is very accurate and poisonous."

"You are not an omega." Chen Yuqian said.

"Then if I really were, would you agree to be with me that day?"

Chen Yuqian remained silent, as if he really considered this possibility.Yes, if Yu Zhou is an omega, then it is reasonable and reasonable to fall in love with alpha.However, given Yu Zhou's family background and conditions, that alpha should be the right one, and it is impossible for an ordinary student like Chen Yuqian. Even if the two get together, there will be no results. After kicking him, the other side looked slightly annoyed, and accused him: "What are you daydreaming about?"

Chen Yuqian: "..."

Chen Yuqian repeated again: "You are not an omega."

The subway came into the station, and Chen Yuqian and Yu Zhou entered the last section of the car. There were no empty seats inside, but it was not as crowded as the front car.Chen Yuqian is tall enough to easily grab the handrail above his head. Yu Zhou has a cleanliness habit, his hands are still in his pockets, and he does not lean on the handrail. Chen Yuqian's direction.

The starting point of Line [-] is a university town located in the city center, and the passing stations include Fujiang Hotel and U University Campus where Chen Yuqian is located, as well as train stations and airports.Chen Yuqian noticed that there were several young people sitting in the carriage, all with suitcases at hand, they looked like one or two students from the school that had an early holiday, and they might be in senior year, with few classes and few exams, After the exam, I rushed home.

Chen Yuqian went back to T City twice this semester, and every time he took Line 5 from school to the high-speed rail station, but in the opposite direction from the current one.After passing another station, Yu Zhou took advantage of the acceleration of the subway and stuck to his arms, and asked him, "Why are you silent again?"

"You talk." Yu Zhou slightly raised his head and stared at Chen Yuqian, narrowing his eyes, "Or are you thinking of Qiao Yi?"

When Yu Zhou mentioned this, Qiao Yi's pale and defeated face appeared in front of Chen Yuqian again, and a science fiction novel and a "perfume sample" were placed in front of his trembling thin body.If Yu Zhou hadn't grabbed his wrist and left, he would have gone up to comfort him, even though he hasn't realized what Yu Zhou said that could have such a lethal effect.

"Of course what I said was a bunch of nonsense." Yu Zhou said disapprovingly.Every sentence he and Joey said has no logic and practical content. The orators who have been regarded as successful people throughout the ages are not always like this. As long as they are powerful enough, they can surround the listeners. It's said to be black.

Yu Zhou said that he had also studied talk shows, and asked Chen Yuqian if he wanted to listen.Chen Yuqian stared at him and asked, "What if he isn't?"

"What isn't it? Do you want to ask, what if he is really pursuing equality and truth, for the benefit of the whole group, instead of being obsessed with a certain person's petty love?"

Yu Zhou said without hesitation: "No, it's impossible. All the pains that occurred during his growing up were given to him by a family that was absolutely not poor, and a society with a prosperous economy. He just didn't want to live a mediocre life. Follow the rules, so he claims he is not free, oppressed, but he has not experienced real suffering at all, that is war that no longer exists in this era, nor has he experienced real persecution, just trying to survive in a world that no longer exists It is the era of the problem that is different, using the unique personality endowed by the outside world to fight against the sense of nothingness after the comfort of material life, so he must join a camp and do some innocuous small resistance to support the once-for-all rebellion in his dream , but this rebellion is only romantic in the imagination, because no one wants to pay the price of rebellion after it happens.”

It is already difficult to tell whether he is Qiao Yi or himself, but what is certain is that the world in Yu Zhou's eyes will not get better and better, but worse and worse. It's better to admit your desires, admit that you are a human being driven by instinct, and you are not nobler than other animals.

"Then how can you be sure that you really like someone, not—" Chen Yuqian obviously didn't say a few words, and then spoke again, with a slightly hoarse voice for some reason, "Three minutes of heat."

After another stop, the acceleration of the subway started pushing Yu Zhou into Chen Yuqian's arms, but Yu Zhou took the initiative to distance himself from Chen Yuqian.Looking at each other, Chen Yuqian seemed to return to a certain night, a night that was so ordinary that he couldn't remember the date. He somehow thought that Yu Zhou would be a person with talent and luck to change the world. He remembered that night The temperature of the moonlight and Yu Zhou's arms around his waist.

"That's right." Yu Zhou showed the arrogant attitude of a rich son, and said coldly, "I don't want you."

There are still two stops away from the University of U campus, but Yu Zhou chooses to get off the bus early.Chen Yuqian pulled his arm, but he threw it away angrily.Chen Yuqian stood in the carriage blankly and watched Yu Zhou's back, Yu Zhou turned around after walking outside the yellow line, and shouted at him: "Aren't you going to chase him out!"

It was too late for Chen Yuqian to take another step.

At the same time as the car door closed, Yu Zhou went towards the stairs without looking back. This time, Chen Yuqian really only had his back.No matter inside or outside the car, no one cast a particularly strange look at the two of them. After all, such separation is the norm on Line [-].

——On this subway line that passes through more than one campus and the train station and airport, parting ways between college lovers is happening every day.In order to go to their own future, how many people met each other on this line, but never saw each other again. Chen Yuqian and Yu Zhou were not lovers, but they experienced the end of their youth and the joy of ending without a problem.

But Chen Yuqian didn't know what he had lost, even though he sat there in a daze, and after returning to school, he didn't go directly to the dormitory, but went to the library.The closer to the end of the period, the tighter the seats in the library, and Chen Yuqian is usually alone in his dormitory, and the review environment is better than the study room, but today he went to the crowded study room for the first time.

I still have the mind to review, he was so self-comforting at first.After failing to write a question for an hour, he had to admit that he was just delaying the time to return to the dormitory.

It's really strange, knowing that Yu Zhou can't come back, Chen Yuqian actually escaped from the place where he lived alone for a long time, and all he could think of was the darkness and silence after the lights were turned off, even if he turned on the charged desk lamp, the light was not enough In order to illuminate the entire space, in order to prevent the eyes from being dazzled by the light after power-on at six o'clock the next day, he had to search for the switch at the door with the flash of his mobile phone.

On the contrary, the blue indicator light at the bottom of the mouse is warmer. It fell to the ground with a "click", and Yu Zhou picked it up and shook it in the palm of his hand. The light was like a flying firefly, tiny but clear enough.

No matter how hard Chen Yuqian dawdled, he still returned to 10 6203 minutes before the lights were turned off.

After unlocking the door, he pressed the switch of the indoor light as usual. After the bedroom was bright, he didn't put his hand down, his fingertips stopped on the switch, and he pressed it again, and the room with the curtains closed was dark again, but not completely dark.A thumb-length glass tube exudes faint blue fluorescence directly above the switch, and the light is enough to illuminate the wall where the switch is located.Chen Yuqian turned on the light again, and the light emitted by the glass tube was so weak that it was almost invisible to the naked eye when other lighting equipment was working, like an inconspicuous blue decoration.

Chen Yuqian turned off the lights again and closed the door behind him.

In the room that should have been pitch-black, glass tubes were arranged not only at the switch at the door, but the one on the bathroom door is yellow, similar to the color of the door, and the one in the bathroom is white, which is enough to illuminate under the reflection of the mirror The entire washbasin.Going forward, a red one was hung on one of the pillars of Chen Yuqian's bed and table, and the back of the chair was also marked with red, so that Chen Yuqian would not bump into it again in the dark.

Chen Yuqian later realized why Yu Zhou was late when he went to see Qiao Yi.He went back to the door and turned on the light, then pulled out the chair and sat in front of the desk. After a long time, he picked up the small iron box on the desk.

He first put it to his ear and shook it, the things inside rattled under the impact, opened it, and it was full of glass tubes that could glow in the dark, a dozen of them were of various colors, pressing down on the bottom of the box The square note, the sketches and handwriting on it are obviously Yu Zhou's handwriting, and told Chen Yuqian that this thing is called a tritium tube, also known as a beta lamp, and it is a device that emits light through radiation. The content in it is extremely low and must be synthesized in the laboratory.

Once again, Chen Yuqian was belatedly aware of what Yu Zhou was doing in those nights when he didn't go back to the dormitory.

[Ha, don't you think I'm trying to hurt you, this thing is very common on luminous watches, but it's not as big and long as mine (Huh? Something's wrong with me?).

And even if the tritium gas has radiation, I have sealed it.The glass is bulletproof grade, which means you can even stick two on your chest to protect against bullets (Huh? What the hell am I writing, I'm not quite right).

Talk back talk talk back!There are so many things that emit light, why did you give this to you? Of course, it is because it is cheap (crossed out) and has a long half-life without charging.

What does this mean.

Well, it means that the crow is like a writing desk, and the cat has a 3-minute heat, hahaha

Signed: Teacher Xiaozhou who will come back to teach you high math problems tonight]

Lights out.

Chen Yuqian climbed onto the bed under the warm light of the box of colorful tritium tubes, sat on the edge of the upper bunk and stared at the empty quilt opposite, holding the incoherent and illogical quilt in his hand. sticky note.

He still didn't know what he had lost.

But in that moment, he had no doubts about what was once within his reach.
