piecing together the soul

Chapter 8 I want a brother
ps: Although I don't know how many people can see it, I can only talk about it here.The results of the postgraduate entrance examination have just been released. After a long time of hard preparation for the exam, the resulting scores are just like a joke.I don't know if this counts as a blow, but the moment I saw the score, the lights were dizzy, my eyes were dull and my feet were weak.Up to now, the head is still numb, and the heartbeat is still fast, a bit like a thunderclap.But, in any case, to borrow the words of the protagonist in this novel: female men don't cry.Not much to say, more text.

Brother Xiu still didn't look at me, just said: "Don't you know that you have a strong aura?"

"You even know the word 'aura'?" I rather like being called aura, so I asked again, "Why do I have a strong aura?"

"That little look you asked about just now." Although he didn't look at me, he smiled. "Your spiritual power shot out from both eyes, like a sword. I'm a ghost. I'm most afraid of this."

"Ghost, they are all dead, what are you afraid of?"

"Me?" He laughed, "I'm afraid I'll be blown away by your eyes."

I also laughed: "If I really have that ability, you won't need to save the wraiths when they want to harm me."

"I said it casually," Brother Xiu looked up at me again, "You are far from beating the ghosts out of their wits."

"Then what will happen if the soul flies away?"

"It just disappeared."

I immediately said: "That resentful spirit should be beaten to death, otherwise it will always hurt people."

"You can also find someone with strong spiritual power to try," Brother Xiu said while thinking about it, "but that resentful spirit is too strong, and people with high spiritual power generally can't do it."

"Wait until I find a Maoshan Taoist priest."

"Take care of yourself first." Brother Xiu said, "In my opinion, it's better to warn the people around you not to go there."

Having said that, I yawned and felt sleepy again.I heard that people will definitely feel sleepy eight hours after waking up, regardless of whether they are asleep or not. I woke up at two o’clock in the afternoon. It's really overdrawn.

Seeing that I didn't answer, Brother Xiu said, "Are you tired?" I've never heard such a gentle tone from him, so I was a little surprised.But this slight surprise was quickly erased by the fierce struggle between the upper and lower eyelids.

"Go back to sleep," Brother Xiu said, "You didn't sleep at this time yesterday, if you are exhausted, what can I do?"

Just this sentence, if it is placed on ordinary people, coupled with his tone, it is really hypocritical and disgusting, but what he said is indeed a statement of the facts.

I picked up my bag and climbed the stairs again. Fortunately, there was only one floor left.When I got back to the dormitory, some people were still awake, so I quietly put the bag under the bed again, then took the toiletries and went to the water room.

There is a big mirror in our water room, which is very practical on weekdays. I wash my face in front of the mirror, and brother Xiu stands next to me to accompany me, really like a big brother.The fly in the ointment is that I can’t see him in the mirror, and I can only turn my head to the side if I want to see him. I was brushing my teeth while looking at him, staring at him until hairs all over, and I only heard him ask: “Why do you always look at me?”

I rinsed my mouth, spit out the water, and said, "You really look like a big brother."

"What brother?"

I brushed my teeth, rinsed my mouth, rinsed the toothbrush and the cup, then combed my hair and started to wash my face. While washing, I whispered like a whisper: "Don't you know? We are different from you now, we are basically only children. Hey, actually it has nothing to do with the only child. Every girl hopes to have a brother who can take care of her. I watched myself grow up since I was a child, and bought me delicious and fun things without telling my parents. If someone bullies me at school , I cried to my brother, and asked my brother to help me get ahead. When I grow up and have a boyfriend, my brother can help check it out, put my arms around the young man's shoulders and say, "If you dare to bully my sister, I want you to look good!" 'If my boyfriend is really sorry for me, and my brother is more uncomfortable than me, I must block that bastard at the entrance of the alley and beat him..."

Speaking of which, I started to wash off the facial cleanser on my face, Brother Xiu who was standing next to me was also silent, waiting for me to wash up, and then came back from the toilet to wash his hands, then he said: "I can be your brother. "

Maybe I'm too tired, I laughed weakly: "Are you kidding me, you're a ghost. What I'm doing now is to send you away as soon as possible."

He didn't answer me, but instead said: "You look like two people in the daytime."

"Maybe it's because I'm tired and sleepy."

"Put down your hair." Brother Xiu said, "I heard from the person from the book club that if you tie your hair like this, your scalp will hurt and your hair will fall out easily."

Maybe it was really too sleepy, I squinted at him, let down my hair, took off my glasses, and pinned them to my neckline: "Looking so vaguely, you look more like an older brother."

"You can't even open your eyes, go back to sleep." He said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't give you dreams."

I smiled again, took the basin and towel and walked back.He continued: "Also, don't plug in those earphones to listen to things, it's not good for your ears. Let me tell you a story."

Go back to the bed and lie down, the phone shows that it is already 1 o'clock in the morning.Maybe I was too sleepy, and the difficulty in falling asleep was gone. I almost fell asleep without hearing Brother Xiu say a few words. I haven't slept so soundly since I was reviewing for the postgraduate entrance examination.Instead, I had a dream. I dreamed that I went back to school from home and dragged a big box. Why was the box so heavy?It should be because the dream was so sad that I woke up.

I have obsessive-compulsive disorder. When I wake up, I have to check what time it is, and then count how many hours I have slept to judge whether I need to continue to sleep.My mobile phone is on my right side. When I woke up, I lay on my left side, so I stretched out my right hand to touch the mobile phone.Everything seemed to be going well, but after I grabbed the phone, I found that I couldn't lift my arm at all.

Shit!I cursed in my heart, this is why I was tired last night, and the dream is also because of this.It's better to fall asleep, the reality is sadder than the dream.

"Are you awake?" It was Brother Xiu's voice.

I just remembered that this ghost is still there.I opened my eyes in a jerk, turned over and lay flat, and saw his translucent legs lying on my quilt, the feet were already out of the bed curtain, and his head was leaning against the wall, as if he was sitting at my feet , staring at me with two big eyes.

I was afraid that there were still people in the dormitory, so I didn't dare to speak, so I endured the pain and took the phone.It's past eleven o'clock, it seems that I really woke up.Seeing that I didn't speak, he said, "Everyone has left, and they said they were going to cook."

Hearing the word "rice", I felt that my eyes must have shot green light, and my stomach also made a "grunt" sound in response to the occasion.

"Which bastard is going to cook?"

"That's right, the upper bunk behind the door."

I quickly dialed the number of my roommate: "Hey, hey, yes, I just woke up. Bring me a meal. Just, I will eat whatever you eat. I am not a picky eater. Good, good. 3q!"

After hanging up the phone, I put down the phone, took my arms out of the quilt and slowly moved and massaged.

"Your arm hurts?"

"Nonsense." I frowned and glanced at him.

He smiled and said, "You don't seem to have slept well."

"Of course." I said helplessly, "Because of you, my sleeping habits have changed."

"What was your habit before?"

I "cut": "Why tell you?"

"Is there anything you can't say?" He said, "Don't you say that I look like an older brother?"

"When did I say that?"

"Just last night."

I immediately denied it: "You just said it, I didn't say it."

"Hey!" He raised his voice, "You didn't drink last night, don't try to renege on your debt."

"I didn't say it in the first place." I said, "Besides, I was tired and sleepy last night. When people are weak, they always run the train with their mouths. So you forgot what I said last night."

I couldn't see Brother Xiu's expression clearly, but he seemed to be frowning: "Why is your aura coming out again? This is not cute at all."

"What's cute?" I turned my back on him, "Don't disgust me."

"You were cute when you were 'running the train with your mouth full' last night." He laughed, "especially when you parted your hair, took off your glasses and squinted your eyes."

Uncle, I must have been too tired last night, my mental defenses collapsed, and I let him see my fragility.I had to overwrite his memory with the temperament of a woman: "I warn you not to talk nonsense."

"What's wrong with you?" He asked back, paused, and then asked, "Did your boyfriend see you like that last night?"

I didn't answer, but he asked again: "Where are your parents, have you seen them?"

I still haven't answered.

My parents have never met them. Although I am a girl, I have a boyish temper since I was a child. I don't like dolls. I grew up playing yo-yos and four-wheel drive vehicles.Never act like a baby with parents, don't want beautiful clothes, save pocket money to buy whatever you like.I have never been embarrassed to tell my parents how much I miss them and how much I love them. Since I left home to go to university in Beijing, I just gritted my teeth and never said I was homesick.

My mother said that Bai gave birth to a daughter, and she didn't like to go shopping to buy clothes, and there was still no one to accompany her.Dad said, my daughter doesn't need to worry about it, she knows everything in her own mind.Ok.I'm just doing my best to portray the image of a strong female man, because everyone wants to be who they like.So, actually?

In fact, I am also a woman.

"Why don't you talk?" Brother Xiu asked.

Before I could answer, I heard the sound of a key opening the door. It should be my roommate returning from cooking.I tried my best to lift my sore arm, turned on the lamp above my head, sat up and folded the quilt, then set up the desk to turn on the computer and prepare for dinner.

To be honest, I am usually used to sleeping naked, but because of Brother Xiu, I can only wear pajamas.When changing pajamas, draw the curtain and let him stand outside the bed.So the process I start now is much simpler than before.

I went down to get the toiletries and greeted my roommate: "I'm back! I miss you so much!"

The roommate said coldly: "Come on, you miss your meal."

At this time, I heard a chuckle in my ear, it was Brother Xiu.The moment I heard it, I really wanted to scold him, but in order not to scare my roommate, I held back and just smiled and said to my roommate: "Just put the rice on my ** table. I'll go wash up first."

After all, I went out of the dormitory to wash up. I have to wash my hair today.Not long ago, there was a joke called "wait for me to grow my hair to my waist", and it happened that my long hair reached my waist this year.I have been a boy since I was a child, so I have never had long hair. When I was young, I didn't realize that I wanted to keep it. Middle and high schools require that long hair is not allowed.

What you need to know is that adolescent children have rebellious psychology, but for me, rebellious psychology has nothing to do with whether they are young or not.This is the case with many things, because they cannot be done, so they have obsessions.I haven't had a major haircut since high school, just the ends and bangs each time, until it was parted in the middle and it was just the ends.In addition, I don't perm or dye, and my hair grows fast, and it reaches my waist in more than three years.

Of course, the disadvantage of long hair is that it is difficult to manage.After washing, I put on my glasses again and found Brother Xiu was standing next to me at some point.The ghost walks without sound.

Occasionally someone would come to the water room at the moment, so I didn't dare to talk to him rashly, I just took time to look at him while wiping my hair.

"Since you want to be a female man, why do you have such long hair." He said, "It would be nice to cut it short."

"Enough short hair." I said, watching to see if anyone came in. "Besides, my boyfriend likes it."

Brother Xiu said something, but I didn't catch it because someone was walking into the water room.It was a classmate in the next class, and I said hello to her. Fortunately, she didn't notice anything wrong with me, and left after washing an apple.

After she left, I suddenly found a problem, so I asked Brother Xiu: "Are you just showing your legs without clothes?" Brother Xiu looked at me with a smile, I was a little surprised, and guessed: "Could it be..."
