dream pocket

Chapter 20

The moon is dark and the wind is high. Tonight, the moon is covered by dark clouds, and the wind is blowing. In Tang Xin's room, half of the windows are open, and the curtains sway with the night wind. Sometimes there are branches swaying and rustling.

beep beep buzz

The alarm clock next to the pillow rang suddenly, and the cell phone under the blanket vibrated at the same time. Tang Xin woke up from his sleep and immediately stopped the alarm clock, and then pressed the alarm clock stop button on the cell phone.

Sitting up, rubbing his sleepy eyes, he quietly walked out of bed, held a cup against the wall and listened to the movement in the parents' bedroom next door.

After 3 minutes, Tang Xin was relieved to make sure that there was no sound of getting up from the next door. The alarm clock here did not wake up his parents.

Look at the time, 2:35.

Walking to the window, he opened the curtains and was blown by the cold wind. His mind instantly cleared up, and his drowsiness was completely dispelled. He looked at the sky in the early morning. There was no moonlight pouring down on the mercury, and the sky was dark, just as he wanted.

Back home yesterday evening, Tang Xin went to bed before 8 o'clock, adjusted the alarm clock to wake himself up at 02:30 in the morning.

He tiptoed to the bathroom and returned to the room after washing up. Tang Xin locked the door, opened the closet, took out a pair of black and gray jeans and a black hooded windbreaker and threw them on the bed.

Taking off the vest and shorts he wore for sleeping, Tang Xin put on his underwear, shoes and socks, put on the hood, and pulled the zipper to the edge of the windbreaker collar. Although it is not a night clothes, this black suit definitely does not look like he is going to do something good look.

Taking out the black gloves he bought yesterday and putting them on again, Tang Xin took a look in the mirror of the closet, thought about it, and suppressed the urge to put on the mask and sunglasses again.

Sit on the edge of the bed to brew your emotions and calm down the slightly nervous restlessness in your heart.

He turned his head and looked at the alarm clock on the bed, it was 2:55.

almost!

This time point is when the human biological clock is the sleepiest, and it is the hardest to wake up from deep sleep.

Lifting up the windbreaker, Tang Xin took out a door from the pocket of the fourth dimension.

Any door: As long as you think about the place you want to go, the computer will convey and distort the space between the location and the destination to bring the two places closer together, and you can reach it by stepping through the door.But you can't go to planets that are more than ten light-years away, or to areas that are not on the computer map.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Xin closed his eyes and calmed down completely. He stretched out his hand to hold the doorknob of the random door, pushed the door open and entered.

After stepping out of the door, the scene changed.

On the other side of the door is the lobby on the first floor of Chuanxiang Restaurant.

In the dead of night, needles could be heard, the lobby on the first floor of Chuanxiang Restaurant was cleaned, and the tables and chairs were arranged neatly. In the darkness, only the star lights on the high platform enshrining the god statue were particularly permeating.

The gate was locked, and outside the restaurant, there was a security guard sitting on a reclining chair, with a flashlight in his arms, and typing on a mobile phone in his hand.

Tang Xin suddenly appeared in the lobby of the restaurant. After putting the arbitrary door back in his pocket, he first bent down and squatted down, quietly listening to the movement around him.

Unless the security outside the door shines in through the window with a flashlight, it is basically impossible to find Tang Xin's figure, and inside the restaurant, the sound of mahjong can be heard from the third floor.

Tang Xin glanced at the soliciting cats on the high platform in the lobby, then at the idle security guards outside the door, bravely stood up, took a chair and put it in front of the high platform, he stood up slowly, reached out and took it off. In order to attract business cats.

After landing, Tang Xin put the commercial cat on the ground, and took out another prop from his pocket.

Copy Mirror: It can copy objects that are opposite to the real ones.

Fortunately, the solicitation of business cats is bilaterally symmetrical. After Tang Xin copied it with a replica mirror, it was difficult to distinguish the authenticity visually.

It is impossible for the copy mirror to copy the function of attracting business cats.

He swiftly put the replica back to its original place without any deviation in the angle. Tang Xin got down and wiped the chair with his sleeve to make sure that no traces would be left and then put the chair back to its original place.

Turning his head to look, the actions he completed within a minute did not attract any attention.

Taking out any door, Tang Xin opened the door with a business cat and walked in. The door disappeared out of thin air, and only two words came from the air.

"Feel sorry."

The next destination through any door is the restaurant at home. Tang Xin stayed here for a quarter of an hour before returning home, took off his underwear, put on his vest and shorts again and got under the covers.

The sky was bright, and the dawn shone into the room. Tang Xin got up energetically, got dressed and walked out of the room. His mother who was washing saw him coming out, and said vaguely: "Son, what do you want for breakfast?"

Tang Xin smiled and said, "I went to the bookstore with Ye Qiu today and ate outside. Mom, can I go to the restaurant to eat after lunch?"

Xie Wanling finished washing, and asked wonderingly: "Is the school meal not good? You don't eat at home for dinner? Your father's cooking is not satisfactory. Okay, come, and call all your friends, anyway, you are always inseparable."

Thinking of the sudden unsatisfactory business in the restaurant, Xie Wanling didn't think it was too much trouble. Now that the restaurant has expanded, instead of being idle, she is happy to take care of her son's meals.

"Mom, today is Sunday, are you still busy at the restaurant?"

Tang Xin was wearing shoes at the door, suddenly turned his head and asked.

Tang Bin, who was watching the morning news in the living room in his pajamas, turned his head and said, "I'm going shopping with your mother today, would you like to add two more clothes?"

Tang Xin was wearing casual clothes, with a shoulder bag on his shoulders and was about to go out. He turned his head and said, "I usually wear school uniforms, no need. I'm going out now. See you, Mom and Dad."

"Be safe outside."

In the early morning of late autumn, the warm sunshine and the cold wind are intertwined, which makes people refreshed.

Ye Qiu and Cheng Mu dressed up in easy-going manners today, seeing Tang Xin approaching, Cheng Mu asked strangely, "Tang Xin, why are you carrying your schoolbag?"

"Buy some reference materials and put them in your schoolbag. Where's Sun Dao?"

"He's still sleeping. I guess he won't get up."

Ye Qiu said lightly, while carefully observing Tang Xin's expression.

Ben was still worried about his condition, but it seems that he seems to have forgotten what happened yesterday. Is he relaxed or hiding it deeper?

Tang Xin remembered that Sun Dao had said that he went to the wine to watch the game at night, and he should have returned home in the early morning.

I didn't get enough sleep for two consecutive days, and I barely got up early yesterday, so I'm afraid it's hard to say today.

In this way, Tang Xin and the two girls walked out of the community, had a simple breakfast at a nearby breakfast shop, and then took the bus to the Xinhua Bookstore in the city.

There were a lot of people going shopping on weekdays, and the bus was a bit crowded. Tang Xin supported the crossbar with one hand, and pressed the other hand on the seat chair, just in time to protect Cheng Mu in front of him, and at the same time, his raised arm was also enlarged. Out of range, Ye Qiu supported the car seat under his arm.

This kind of behavior was considered subconscious, Tang Xin looked out the window with a tepid expression, Cheng Mu's hand suddenly grabbed his waist lightly, approached him, tiptoed to his ear and asked: " Tang Xin, have you forgotten what happened yesterday?"

Tang Xin lowered his eyes slightly, and Cheng Muru's eyes flashed with obvious melancholy.

"Just sleep and you'll be fine."

"But, that person is too much."

Tang Xin looked out the car window and didn't speak any more.

It was hard to explain this matter, but he knew that the one who really went too far was himself.

It's just that this society is like this, and no one can be noble before interests.

After getting out of the car, I went to Xinhua Bookstore. Tang Xin and Ye Qiu went to look for materials for the college entrance examination, while Cheng Mu slipped directly to the newly-launched novel section.

"You really don't care? Not like you."

Standing in front of the bookshelf, Ye Qiu was holding a reference book of selected college entrance examination questions, as if talking to himself.

Tang Xin was also holding a book, but it had nothing to do with the college entrance examination.

"I don't want to talk about it anymore."

Ye Qiu looked sideways, looked at the calm Tang Xin, and said, "That's fine, I don't want to expose your lies all the time."

Tang Xin laughed at himself, flipped through the book in his hand, and said: "The reaction speed of the human brain is faster than the speed of light, and the speed of light is faster than the speed of sound, so we can synchronize with the world, thinking, images, sounds, etc., because of this responsiveness , we live in a world full of lies. Lies don't matter, what matters is hurt."

The corner of Ye Qiu's mouth turned up, and he reached out to lift the cover of the book in Tang Xin's hand.

"Are you selling what you learn now? Let me see what book you have."

Tang Xin closed the book, showed the cover to her, and shrugged: "Theoretical Criminology is all nonsense. Even simple theft or fights may contain intricate factors hidden deep in it. This kind of theoretical criminology Research is worthless, no wonder the book is [-]% off."

Ye Qiu was full of helplessness and complexity. After chuckling, he shook his head and said, "You are always like this. The textbook knowledge in school is neither high nor low, but heresy and miscellaneous things always attract your attention."

"You are wrong. The school textbooks cannot teach us social skills, let alone the ability to deal with various complex events in society. It is still the same sentence. Useful, practice brings true knowledge, insight, judgment, behavioral ability, etc., which cannot be given by books.”

"Here's a fallacy."

Ye Qiu no longer quarreled with Tang Xin, but concentrated on searching for useful information.

When it was close to noon, the three of Tang Xin went to check out with a few books in their hands.

Ye Qiu bought a reference book for each subject, Tang Xin was not surprised, but Ye Qiu bought two books when he saw Tang Xin, he was quite surprised.

"Don't you buy materials for preparing for the college entrance examination?"

Tang Xin also asked back in surprise: "Didn't you buy it? Could it be that you are too stingy to lend it to me?"

Ye Qiu sneered, mocking himself for asking too much, which should be expected.

Glancing at the two books Tang Xin was holding, Ye Qiu looked at Tang Xin playfully.

""Body Language Code"? "Psychological Suggestion and Nervous Response", huh."

Her two dry laughs hinted at seeing through Tang Xin's thoughts.

Tang Xin touched his nose, held his head up and held his chest out without responding.

Cheng Mu also came with a book in his arms. Tang Xin flipped through it. There were two romance novels on it, one was a translated western fantasy novel, and the other two were "Renaissance Works of Art" and "Classical Art and Literature". modern Art".

"Didn't your dad not let you go to art school in the future?"

I can't blame Cheng Wenyue for meddling in Cheng Mu's choice, but in the eyes of the elders, Cheng Mu is excellent in character and learning, and in the future she can be directly admitted to a key university in the college entrance examination and study a "serious" major, and she must not be tolerated to give free play to her specialty of loving art , let alone an art school.

Cheng Mu said indifferently: "My dad and I made it very clear that studies and hobbies are two different things."

After paying the bill, the three had a casual lunch outside, and Tang Xin said goodbye to them.

"Ah? Tang Xin, where are you going? Didn't you agree to go skating together in the afternoon?"

Cheng Mu puffed out his cheeks and stared at Tang Xin.

Tang Xin didn't explain, just waved his hand with a smile and went against them.
