Dust sleeps in light years

Chapter 2

"Okay, then I'll notify you right away." The boy's enthusiasm doubled and he stood up immediately.After Xue Tao said goodbye to him and watched him leave, he put away his smile, stuffed the half-eaten pineapple pancake back into a plastic bag, threw it on the table next to him, turned around and continued copying photos.

The seventh to tenth periods are continuous professional classes, and Qiu He sat in a row with two Korean classmates as usual.The topic of discussion in the classroom between classes was naturally the murder case.

"If you want me to tell you, how could Ouyang Chong be so stupid? If I were him, I would break up the body and freeze it in the refrigerator. I would take some out today and throw some out tomorrow, and I wouldn't be aware of it." Why? What kind of woven bag to buy! In the high-end community where he lives now, there are still a few people who can use woven bags to pack things, isn’t it obvious to tell others 'I am throwing a corpse'?"

"What I find most incomprehensible is that he put the separated body parts in the same woven bag and threw them away. What's the point of dismembering the body? A complete body wouldn't bleed so much."

"Hey, why are you girls more ruthless than the other! Ouyang may have acted because of Zeng Ye's urgency. After killing someone suddenly, he must have been scared to death. Where is there so much logic? Where is there so much organization? "

"Speaking of which, although Zeng Ye is quite annoying, but he is not guilty of death, that man's hatred is too heavy."

"Speaking of this, I think his motive for killing is really unbelievable. Didn't Zeng Ye ask to get back together?"

"That's right." "If it is said that Zeng Ye asked to break up, it would make sense for Ouyang to kill her impulsively because of her heartbreak and anger. Get back together! Then just ignore her at most, there is nothing to be angry about, let alone Don't be angry to the point of murder, why is that?"

"Eh? What you said is true." "Could there be something else hidden? For example, Ouyang Chong admitted to a crime he didn't commit in order to protect someone. Maybe he didn't kill him at all."

"You guys are just too rich in imagination. The more you talk about it, the more bizarre it gets. The corpse was transported out of his house, who killed it? Besides, it makes sense to help parents and children to take the blame. His parents are both in their hometown and have no children. For whom to blame?"

"Xinhuan! The power of love! Speaking of which, who is Xinhuan?" "Legend is an undergraduate student in the journalism department."

"Sister from the direct line?" "Please! Ouyang Chong is a second-year graduate student in the Department of Psychology. What kind of direct line?" "He is from the Department of Psychology? Damn it! I haven't solved my psychological problems yet!" Is it Qian Xiaoyi?" "You know that one Qian Xiaoyi!" "Probably not. Qian Xiaoyi's kind of beauty usually doesn't bother to snatch a boyfriend, and her suitors can't handle it. Besides, it's Zeng Ye Her boyfriend." "That's not called grabbing. Zeng Ye is not worthy of Ouyang Chong at all, God knows if Ouyang Chong has other secrets in dating her." "Here it is again, how can there be so many secrets!"

"Indeed, I really think Ouyang Chong and Qian Xiaoyi are a good match. Unfortunately, a prince always matches a dinosaur, and a princess matches a toad. Look, Qian Xiaoyi has many boyfriends, but which one looks as good as Ouyang Chong?" into the eyes."

"Why do you want to be so eye-catching? They have money." "Hehe, the girls on the 45th floor really only know about money."

...Qiu He was texting Qu Heran, and the voices of discussions around her drifted into her ears one after another.The small envelope flashed in the phone, and she pressed "View".

suddenly
I'm helping Xue Tao inform the meeting, I won't chat with you anymore, see you tonight.

Qiu He closed the flip of the phone and put it in the drawer, listening intently to everyone talking about the murder case.But after a while, he took out the phone again and turned it back to Qu Hongran: I still want to remind you, if you want to develop in the future, apply for a change of department, and don't work with Xue Tao.

Sure enough, after ten seconds, I received the following reply:

suddenly

Why are you so narrow-minded? What's wrong with her?Can't praise you enough.Just listen to you always telling me to beware of her.

The simple cannot discern false friendliness.But after being reminded repeatedly by others, they still can't tell that they are not innocent. They just adopt a stubborn denial attitude towards the unpleasant reality.In fact, avoidance is the most common, easiest and most effective way to deal with it. Everyone hypnotizes themselves, whitewashes peace, no anger, no pain, lives in a "perfect" world, and regards the sober as narrow-minded public enemies.

Qiu He's accusation of "narrow-mindedness" was not unexpected, she was just amused by the words "full of praise", and replied "I didn't say she was bad, but I just didn't appreciate her style".After putting the phone directly into the compartment of the bag, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.Perhaps this sigh coincided with a certain topic, and a Korean classmate turned around and asked, "Are you familiar with him?"

"Who?" Qiu He didn't listen to the conversations of the last few rounds. "Ouyang Chong."

"Oh. The relationship is okay. He was a teaching assistant for a course during his first year of graduate school. I asked him for a list of applicants for the course."

"Why do you want that?" "See if there are any acquaintances, mobilize the other party to give me the class." "That's okay? No wonder the class you want to take comes true every time."

"However, it didn't really work that time. On the last day of the make-up election, class one adjusted the original two-hour professional class to four, covering that time period, so a student in their class dropped out."

"Oh...it must be that imbecile undergraduate academic affairs officer of our department who made the mistake of the major class time. She always does this kind of thing. Last year, she also adjusted the major class on the last day of the make-up election, which caused me to have to withdraw many double classes. Lose."

"I miss the previous academic affairs. This academic administration has never done a good thing. Didn't we lose the student ID cards of all our Korean students when we started registration last time? It caused all of us to reissue, and we also said that we lost it ourselves. How could everyone lose it at the same time!"

"..." The topic finally broke away from the murder case and turned to the accusation against the academic teacher.

At dinner time, Xue Tao was called back to the office from the cafeteria by Mr. Zhu's series of fatal calls again.

She couldn't be more clear that in fact there is nothing important at all, but it is his consistent style to regard everything as life-threatening and urgent.The task of this discussion is to publish a special page in the school newspaper to introduce the outstanding professors of the school. Mr. Zhu hopes that the first interview with the professors will be done by Xue Tao himself, so as to make a model for the editors of this column in the future Can follow the map to find out.Xue Tao certainly has no problem in this regard.

"Then it's settled. You'd better start the interview tomorrow." "Understood." Xue Tao nodded.After Mr. Zhu finished speaking, he walked out the door, and suddenly slapped his head and stopped: "Oh, that's right. I couldn't get through to Qu Hongran's cell phone this morning. Please help me when you see Qu Hongran's words..." Xue Tao interrupted him, with a face He said blankly: "I can't see him." "Huh? What's going on?" "Since the first regular meeting at the beginning of school, he hasn't shown up again, and he doesn't answer the phone, and he can't find him in class." I can't find it, in short, no one can contact him." "Is there such a thing? Do you know what he is busy with?"

"Busy dating. I heard that his current girlfriend is Qiu He." Teacher Zhu said with a dark face, "This kid..."

Qiu He's last class is already at nine o'clock in the evening.She said goodbye to the two girls who were in class at the gate of the Second Teaching School, and saw Qu Shuran waiting by the flower bed under the steps, humming an old movie theme song, stepped down the steps in two steps in three steps, and took his arm.The sky is clean, without clouds, and the moonlight outlines the shadows of the trees and the figures who sometimes shuttle between them and sometimes merge with them.

The boy asked, which sounded like an unexpected noise when opening the door: "Are you hungry? Do you want to go to Xiaobai's room for supper?"

"Okay." Qiu He has always been sensitive, and he already sensed the other party's displeasure while answering, "Did anything unhappy happen?"

"Isn't the surname Zhu!" It seemed that he was in a hurry, and there was no respect for the teacher in his words, "I didn't hear the phone call in the morning, and he was furious when I called him back in the afternoon, and he didn't answer the phone call, what? It's called 'can't be contacted all the time'? What is 'no one can be contacted'? As for it! What's your problem with him?"

"Huh? What does it have to do with me?" The girl stood still in shock. "I don't think I have offended him. Besides, he mentioned you several times today. I don't know how he knew that I was dating you, and told me not to indulge in feelings and not do business all day long. I think he is targeting you and venting his anger on you. I."

Qiu He let go of his arm and continued walking without saying a word. "You may have made too many enemies and you don't even know it, alas, let's not talk about this." Qu Yuran followed.

After a few more silent steps, passing the brightly lit auditorium, Qiu He turned his head and asked, "Did you get the ballet tickets?" Forget it. Anyway, I’m not interested in this, and I’m not as accomplished as you art students. I dare say that at least half of the people sitting in it can’t read like me, and they follow the trend and wrong themselves , why bother!" "They are not following the trend, but to accompany the other half who can understand." Qiu He turned his face to the side and moved his mouth.Qu Hongran was stunned for two seconds before hearing her subtext. "It's not that I don't want to accompany you, but it's really hard to get tickets."

Qiu He raised his eyelids, and said slowly, "What if I say 'I got it'?" Under the cold moonlight, Qu Yuran looked at Qiu He's face.The girl's smile is very gentle, with a kind of tolerant soft light, which makes people feel a little guilty, but this guilt is fleeting, because the soft light shrouds the profound meaning after seeing everything.

When he was with Qiuhe, he always felt that he was capricious, and at a certain moment, he suddenly hated her to the extreme, like slipping into a dark well and being suddenly submerged in foul-smelling liquid.What makes him even more uncomfortable is that Qiuhe is always Qiuhe, never complaining about slander, not surprised by favor or humiliation, and not showing his emotions or anger.It is impossible to guess what she is thinking in this second, and it is impossible to predict what she will do in the next second.

One second she uttered a sentence that left you speechless, and the next second she innocently smiled and said, "I lied to you."

Qu Yuran didn't know whether his complexion had changed suddenly, and getting along with Qiu He was always like a war without smoke.For the rest of the journey, the two remained silent. He didn't even know whether Qiu He was venting his anger or enjoying the silence, but he was undoubtedly depressed.

After entering the small white room in the bright hall, smelling the smell of food, I felt a little better, so Qu Hongran ordered some snacks.Qiuhe met Chen Yan, a senior from the same department, and her boyfriend Ye Xuan, and stood at their table to exchange greetings.After a while, Qu Yuran sat down with a dinner plate, and Qiu He turned around and took a bunch of baked potatoes to eat.

Chen Yan suddenly changed the subject and asked Qu Heran: "Why don't you let Qiu He sit?" The boy noticed that the two long tables and eight seats in the room were all full, and only Qiu He was standing.Narrow thoughts flashed in his heart, wanting to embarrass Qiu He: "She sat for the whole afternoon from the fifth class to the No. 12 class, and just had a chance to stand up and move around." He looked up at Qiu He However, to his disappointment, Qiu He remained calm.

On the contrary, Chen Yan had a troubled look on her face.It's fine if we don't mention this matter, everyone can turn a blind eye to it, everyone is aware of the fact that Qiuhe is standing alone at the table, and the atmosphere has become awkward.
