piecing together the soul

Chapter 10

I am quite punctual, and what I am most afraid of is making others wait for me, even if it is a date.So, I was there first again.We made an appointment directly at the restaurant, I sat there and waited, Brother Xiu sat next to me and waited with me.

"He arrived later than you." Brother Xiu was very dissatisfied, "How can a man make a woman wait?"

I took the phone again, pretended to make a call, and said with a smile: "Do you know why women are often late?"

Brother Xiu said: "What do you mean a woman is late? It should be that men always arrive early."

I shook my head: "Generally, when a man chases a woman, the woman will definitely be reserved. She arrives late on purpose to show that she doesn't care about the other party. As for the fact that the woman is often late after the two have established a relationship, it's because women have to dress up."

Brother Xiu looked at me, I was still wearing a sweater and jeans, but I didn't comb my hair because I just washed it, and I was dressed as usual.He clicked twice and said, "Everyone says 'women are the ones who please themselves', you don't like him, do you?"

"Say that sentence again."

"Women are for those who please themselves."

"The first word."

"Female." After I said it, he understood, and said helplessly, "Okay... Is it really you that I saw last night? Do you have a split personality?"

"Still mentioning it?" I said angrily, "Does it make you forget if I don't mention it?"

Just as I was talking, my boyfriend came. In fact, what I didn't want to mention is that his surname is Wang just like Brother Xiu.I forgot how long ago, there was a man named "Old Wang next door" popular in the jokes, who took advantage of the world, that is, since then I have jokingly called him "Old Wang", and he protested, but the protest was ineffective.

"Who to call?" he asked.

I said: "My brother. Brother, let's not talk about it, goodbye."

So I pretended to hang up the phone.The two of us ordered good food and ate for a while, casually talking about how I was reviewing recently and how he was looking for a job, as usual.Brother Xiu was also very quiet on the side, which was beyond my expectation.After dinner, Lao Wang sent me back to school, and took a walk in school by the way.

It was already dark, and I will never forget what a spooky scene it was.I, holding Lao Wang's hand, and then there is a head and a leg floating in front of my right. As the sky gets darker, his shadow gets brighter, and his face is always facing us, smiling.

"Why are you so distracted today?" Old Wang sensed that I was wrong, "What are you thinking?"

"What else can I think about." I smiled wryly, "Review, and be confused. It's not like this."

"You just take the postgraduate entrance examination." We are both in the same grade, both senior students, and he is naturally equally confused, "I don't even mention anything about my work now."

"It's okay." I'm used to cheering him up, "You are such an excellent person, why don't you worry about not being able to find a job?"

"Everyone else has gone for an interview. I haven't received a single interview notice."

"There are better things waiting for you later." Then I imitated Crayon Shin-chan and sang, "Cheer up~ cheer up."

Old Wang laughed all of a sudden: "Silly paper~"

"You're so stupid!" I clicked on the "smile point" on Lao Wang's waist, and he immediately hid aside.

"One inattention got you going," he said, starting to squeak at me.We both ran and made noise, as usual.

"Hey, hey, you have to pay attention to me when you're flirting."

Oh, Brother Xiu's voice.I thought to myself: If you don’t even pay attention to people, why pay attention to ghosts?
"Hey, hey!" Seeing that I didn't respond, he continued, "Did you hear me?"

Originally, I was running, and Lao Wang was chasing after me. When I heard Brother Xiu say this, I quickly turned around and hugged Lao Wang, and gave Brother Xiu, who was left behind, a wink, telling him to be quiet.He was also very helpless, and then he disappeared in front of my eyes. When I turned around occasionally, I could see him following behind.

"Why do you always turn your head back?" Lao Wang found out again, his meticulous mind was born.

"I always feel that someone is following us." I said.

He also looked back and said, "Where is it?"

I followed him and looked back: "Not necessarily. Did you find mistress behind my back?"

"what?"

"It must be, you are looking for mistress behind my back." I said, "I felt chills on my back, and felt that someone was staring at me very sharply."

I did feel that sharp look, but I knew who it was.These words were not only for Old Wang, but also for Brother Xiu.

Old Wang looked confused and unbelievable, and I continued to say: "I have never offended anyone, the one who hates me so much must be a rival in love. Come on, tell me the truth!"

He likes to see me jealous, smiled and nodded my head: "What's in your little head? You've been thinking about it all day, have you studied hard?"

The speaker has no intention but the listener is interested. I was really thinking about it all day and didn't review it well.Old Wang started to shake my head, and I inadvertently caught a glimpse of brother Xiu who was following me, his face was expressionless, and he finally showed the appearance that a dead person should have.

No no no, something is wrong.I peeked over and felt as if his legs were covered by a white cloth.But the light and shadow are extremely weak, so I can't see clearly.

Lao Wang was still shaking my head, and I was really dizzy, so I said: "Don't shake it, don't shake it, it's full of knowledge, don't shake it out!"

"Knowledge?" He laughed, "Liquid, right?"

"You're just out of your mind!"

I took the opportunity to look back again, and suddenly found that Brother Xiu was missing.I don't know why I was flustered, I quickly looked around, Lao Wang also asked: "What's wrong?"

Still haven't seen Brother Xiu.Where did he go?Is it the same as last night?Will he still appear?
Seeing me looking around, Pharaoh said, "What's wrong? Something dropped?"

I quickly lied: "It seems that the clip fell off, and it was in my pocket."

Old Wang smiled and said, "I thought it was something important. If it falls off, buy a new one. Let's go!"

I still felt uneasy, and I still turned around to check my surroundings, but I still didn't see Brother Xiu.

For the next time, I was restless, Lao Wang asked me if I was tired, and I was just perfunctory.It was past eight o'clock in a blink of an eye, Lao Wang took me downstairs to the dormitory, pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly, and I leaned in his arms as usual.

He said with some sneer, but also with a little covetousness: "You were alive just now, but now you're a kitten?"

"Meow." I meowed like a cat.

"It looks like you are exhausted. Be good, go back and have a good rest. Study hard tomorrow." After Lao Wang finished speaking, he kissed my forehead.

I suddenly saw Brother Xiu standing behind him!Sure enough, there is a white cloth covering the legs!

Fortunately, Lao Wang couldn't see my expression, otherwise he would have to ask about Brother Xiu.

But in a blink of an eye, Brother Xiu disappeared again.

"Why don't you talk?" Old Wang lifted my chin slightly with his hand, so that I could look up at him.

I looked into his eyes and said with a smile: "You are also good, go back to bed early. Don't worry about work, now the senior year has just started, and there is still one year left. Wait slowly and you will always wait."

"Okay." Lao Wang took my hand again and said, "Go in."

I knew he would watch me go in, so I turned and entered the dormitory building.As usual, I walked ten steps into the building, and then I turned back to the door of the dormitory building, saw that Lao Wang had turned and left, and watched him until he was out of sight.

"You've always been like this?" Brother Xiu's voice came suddenly.

"You scared me to death! Where did you go?"

Brother Xiu smiled a little stiffly: "I can't bear to disturb you, so I avoided it."

"I told you not to follow me."

Brother Xiu asked again: "You haven't answered me yet, have you always been like this?"

"What?"

"That is, after he thinks you have entered the building and left, you come back to look at him?"

"That's right." I said, "He doesn't trust me if I don't enter the building, and I don't trust him if I don't watch him go."

"How long have you two been together?"

I calculated: "Three or four years."

"Don't old couples feel nauseous?"

I squinted at him: "Have you ever secretly had a tryst with your wife?"

"Of course. I see her off every time. I don't leave until I see her go back to the mansion safely..." Brother Xiu's face changed slightly when he said this, "Wait...you mean, when I leave, she also Will you come out to see me?"

"If conditions permit, she will." After that, I turned and went into the building.I have always felt that couples should not compare who loves more than whom, because love has different meanings for men and women.

Climbing the stairs and looking at the pants on my legs, I suddenly remembered that brother Xiu was covered in white clothes just now, so I quickly turned to him and asked, "Brother Xiu, I see you..."

However, when I looked at him again, I found that the white cloth was gone, and there were still long bare legs.

"What's wrong?" Brother Xiu saw that something was wrong with me and asked.

Since the evidence was gone, I couldn't ask, so I just said, "Nothing."

Back in the dormitory, I changed into my pajamas and lay down on the bed to rest. I was so tired last night that I was half dead, and after going out for so long at night, not only my arms still hurt like hell, but even my legs felt sore , The whole person is about to fall apart.

"Let's go to the Forbidden City tomorrow." Brother Xiu said suddenly.

Hearing his words, I almost yelled out, thinking that there were still people in the dormitory, I lowered my voice and said, "You are going crazy! Let me rest for two days."

"It's been a day off today," he said.

I still whispered: "Tomorrow is Sunday, the Forbidden City will definitely be crowded. You may not be able to pass because of the heavy yang energy. Well... rest for another day and go on Monday."

Brother Xiu felt that what I said was reasonable, so he nodded, but it was obvious that he still seemed a little hesitant.Since there were other students in the dormitory, I couldn't say much to him, so I didn't ask.

The next day, I woke up naturally, and after lunch, I planned to go to the library.I haven't been there for several days, and I don't know if my place has been occupied by someone.

Walking out of the dormitory, Brother Xiu followed me again.I said, "I'm just going to study by myself, how come you follow?"

"I'm idle anyway," Brother Xiu said, "while you were sleeping, I walked all over your dormitory. Come out with you to relax."

"You haven't gotten tired of staying near that bookstore for so many years, but you've gotten tired of it after only a few days here?"

"It's different." Brother Xiu said, "There are always newcomers coming to the bookstore, there are all kinds of people, but your dormitory is always the same few, and they are all women, boring."

"It's all boring for women? This is the first time I've heard a man say that."

Brother Xiu sighed: "The main reason is that I can see them, but they can't see me."

What he said was reasonable, but with such a ghost by my side, how can I read with peace of mind?Alas, in fact, even if he didn't follow, seeing that set of materials, he couldn't feel at ease.

When I arrived at the library, fortunately my books and cups were still there.I first took the cup to get the water, then sat on the seat and planned to read a book for a while.Brother Xiu has gone to nowhere now, just in case he would bother me.

What was opened was contemporary literature.I didn't look too closely at the topic, but the answer read: "Legendary character experiences, desolate and mysterious mountains and temples, a firm will to avenge shame and revenge, and sing with passion." Wow, such a gorgeous adjective , can be used as words for movie promotional videos.What works is this?How come I don't seem to have heard of it.It is not easy to review materials so well.So I continued to read it full of curiosity, and the moment I saw that work, I couldn't help cursing in my heart: kao!The writing is so lively, it took me a long time to write it as the opera white-haired girl!How can a story about fighting landlords be called a blockbuster fantasy movie?Did you really think it was a movie?

Just as I was thinking of this, I suddenly felt someone tap my shoulder and approach my ear. A very magnetic male voice spoke in a pure Nancheng accent and whispered in my ear: "Master Guo, come out."
