There was still a small noise of booing in her ears. Yun Li was most afraid of this kind of scene. She raised her eyes hastily, saw his gaze, and subconsciously raised her hand to touch the corresponding position.
She suddenly understood, but was not quite sure.
But from his eyes, Yunli could sense that he had no other thoughts.
Yunli tilted his body and tentatively moved the other side towards him.
The man approached at the same time, and stopped when he was about three centimeters away from her ear. His breath was close yet not close, and his voice was very low: "When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva practiced the profound Prajnaparamita, he saw that the five aggregates were empty and transcended all suffering."
“…”
Perhaps he wanted her to hear clearly, so he spoke at a moderate pace.
However, this good intention was wasted.
Yunli didn't understand a word.
To put it more seriously.
Yunli felt that the current situation was no different from being deaf.
What the hell is this!!!
Is it a Buddhist scripture?
Yunli stood there in a daze.
Zhi Bu Le, who was waiting to pass on the message, couldn't help laughing: "What's with that expression?"
She didn't answer, nor did she dare to delay any longer. Before her memory became blurred, Yunli half guessed and half recited, piecing together a sentence that barely made sense.
Seeing Shang Zhibuliao's confused expression, she felt a little more balanced.
That shouldn't be a hindrance.
After the nervousness passed, Yunli finally had the heart to watch others play games. It was then that he realized that some people also listened with their right ears. Because when listening to others talking in this direction, one does not need to face the crowd.
Yunli cares too much about it, so she thinks that listening with her right ear seems very deliberate. But for people who don't care about this, they don't care which ear others use to listen.
Just like she doesn't care which foot others take first when they walk.
Thinking of this, Yunli glanced at the man secretly.
So when he was playing the virtual bungee jumping project today, did he already notice that she could not hear in her left ear?
But at that time, I showed her some mercy and didn't expose her directly.
The man didn't notice her gaze. He kept his head down, looking uninterested, and played a game with one hand to pass the time.
It is a stand-alone game called 2048.
The maximum number currently synthesized is 1024.
At this time, the message had already been passed on to the end.
The last person was He Jiameng. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she confidently gave the answer: "Guanyin Bodhisattva wants to eat jackfruit."
“…”
There was silence in the box for a moment, and then there was laughter again.
He Jiameng scratched her head: "What's wrong? Isn't it?"
"Of course not, Xiao He, what's wrong with you? You spread such a sacred sentence like this." Fei Shui laughed, "But I'm still quite confused, why did it spread so fast in the front? It made me think that the other side said a short sentence, and I was stunned when I heard it."
Xu Qingsong laughed softly, ashamed but frank: "Sorry, I really can't remember it. I just passed on the first paragraph of the Heart Sutra, if you can recite it, please recite it."
The people behind him also tried to hold back their laughter for a long time: "Add one."
The game of solitaire ends with men.
The goal was set, and the conversation didn't last too long. Everyone just thought he was well-read, and the Heart Sutra wasn't long, so it wasn't surprising that he could memorize the first paragraph. Not long after, the person at the opposite table also stopped passing the message, winning by a narrow margin of one word.
After a few jokes, everyone started packing up to leave.
Yunli hesitated for a long time before mustering up the courage to talk to the man: "Um..."
The man paused and looked up.
His eyelashes are long and thin, and his eye sockets are deep. His double eyelids are thin, and the tails of his eyes are naturally upturned, outlining a cold and sharp outline. When he is emotionless, he has an elusive deterrent power.
"You just asked me to get closer..." Yunli felt a little regretful, but had to continue, "Yes, I know..."
——Do you know that I can’t hear with my left ear?
To continue speaking would be the same as giving the answer, so she stopped in time and looked at him intently.
The man didn't answer.
Yunli hesitated: "Why don't you speak?"
The man looked at her and said calmly, "You haven't finished."
“…”
Yunli asked in a different way: "That's right, why did you ask me to get closer just now?"
The four looked into each other's eyes.
The surroundings were noisy and quiet. Just when Yunli thought he was about to point it out, the man put his phone back in his pocket and said casually, "The rules say that no one else can hear it."
-
There happens to be a KTV nearby.
Xu Qingsong seemed to be a VIP here, and he didn't need to make a reservation in advance. He was taken to a party room by the waiter. The space was large, and three steps divided it into two floors, more than enough to accommodate ten people.
Drinks, snacks and fruit plates were served one after another.
A few people who were more relaxed had already started to shout with microphones, and the song request booth was occupied one after another. The rest of the people were divided into several groups, either playing cards or playing big talk dice.
There are also some like Yunli, sitting aside chatting and listening to music.
There were seven or eight people sitting at the table, many of whom Yunli couldn't name. In the middle was Xu Qingsong, who was smiling and toasting with others. The man who had just come with him was nowhere to be seen.
She lowered her eyes to look at her phone, and glanced around intentionally or unintentionally.
Just at this moment, a woman half-jokingly asked, "Boss Xu, where is that handsome guy you just brought? Why didn't he come to pay the bill after losing?"
Yunli's attention was diverted.
Xu Qingsong was helpless: "He is not feeling well, let him go."
The woman's name is Du Gefei. He Mengjia said she is a female anchor on a certain platform. Today, she has checked almost all the men's WeChat accounts. She held her chin and continued to inquire: "Is it your girlfriend who is checking up on you?"
Xu Qingsong did not comment.
Du Gefei: "I didn't have time to ask for WeChat."
As if he didn't understand the hidden meaning, Xu Qingsong sighed: "What a pity."
“…”
Dugfield was obviously choked.
Someone at the table chuckled.
Yunli pressed the corners of his lips and wanted to laugh a little, but then his mood suddenly became depressed again.
I don't know where this emotion came from, like a mimosa exposed to the sun, drooping and losing its spirit.
It's like trying to throw a coin into a wishing well but it falls empty.
After a while, He Jiameng came up to her and asked in a low voice: "Teacher Xianyun, do you want to go to the toilet? I don't really want to use the toilet in the private room."
Yunli came back to his senses: "A little bit, I'll go with you."
Coming out of the private room, the corridor was dimly lit, as if the lights were covered with a layer of cloth. A few steps away was a public toilet, and after entering, the cloth was also lifted.
After finishing the task, Yunli came out to wash his hands.
He Jiameng was already outside and suddenly asked, "Why are your ears so red?"
Hearing this, Yunli looked at the mirror.
He Mengjia looked at it and said, "And only the right side is red."
"..." Yunli also realized, "I don't know."
"Is it true," He Jiameng chuckled, "that the handsome guy just passed the message too close to you?"
Yunli quickly denied: "No."
He Jiameng didn't believe it at all and continued, "That handsome guy is like an iceberg. You see, others can't even talk to him for a few words, but I didn't expect him to take the initiative to flirt with girls."
Yunli couldn't resist and had to change the subject: "Don't you know him?"
"I don't know him. Maybe I was at the headquarters and didn't come here often." He Jiameng said, "I just heard from a colleague that he saw him in the store this morning."
"Um?"
"He seems to be a friend of the boss. He came to help a few days ago and will work in EAW in the future." He Jiameng said happily, "I am so lucky. When I saw him take off his mask just now and my boss was sitting next to me, I thought I was in heaven."
“…”
"But to be honest, I'm a little worried."
"What?"
"Don't you think this handsome guy looks difficult to get along with? People with connections like this usually don't work well." He Jiameng added, "And he's quite gloomy, which is a bit scary."
Yun Li spoke up for him unconsciously: "Didn't Mr. Xu say he wasn't feeling well? Maybe he didn't want to talk much."
He Jiameng: "Oh, yes, I forgot."
…
Most people's flights were booked for tomorrow, so this second session didn't last long.
When Yunli came back to the hotel after taking a shower, it was just past twelve o'clock. She lay down on the bed tiredly, hugged the quilt contentedly, and just wanted to sleep until the day was dark.
As expected, I still find socializing so tiring.
I don’t know why she followed me to KTV.
After a long time, Yunli opened his eyes, stared at the white ceiling, and suddenly raised his hand to touch his right ear.
It's not hot anymore.
-
When he woke up the next day, Yunli told He Jiameng that he would not be returning to Xifu in the short term and asked her not to book a plane ticket.
He Jiameng said she understood, and then extended her room for another week.
Yunli had nothing to do today, so he got up slowly and ordered some takeout. After thinking for a while, he sent a message to Deng Chuqi, asking her when she was free to have dinner together.
The next second, Deng Chuqi called: "I'm having dinner. I'm too lazy to type so I'm calling you directly. When will you be back in Xifu?"
"I probably won't go back."
"Ah? Why?" Deng Chuqi was confused. "Aren't you reporting in at the end of the month?"
The word "running away from home" is indeed embarrassing, and Yun Li was too embarrassed to say it out loud: "Anyway, there is nothing to do when I go back, so why not come here first to get familiar with the environment."
"Oh, then do you want to live with me?" Deng Chuqi said, "My roommate is very nice, but my room is a little small."
Yunli: "No, my hotel room lease expires in a week. And I plan to rent a house first. I looked at the rental website these two days and there is one that looks pretty good. Will you accompany me to take a look?"
Deng Chuqi: "Sure! How about the weekend? I have nothing to do on weekends."
Yunli curved her lips and said, "Okay."
Deng Chuqi asked again: "But you don't want to stay overnight?"
Yunli: "Yes, but I need to shoot videos occasionally, so I need to find a place. Otherwise it will affect my roommates."
The two chatted for a while, and after hanging up the phone, Yunli ate takeout while watching an old drama.
I watched it for the whole afternoon. Just as the sun set, Yunli received a message from He Jiameng. She said that she had sent the corresponding video of the project she tried yesterday to her email.
Yunli replied "OK".
If you want to rent a house, you will probably be very busy next.
Yunli wanted to edit the film first. She pulled out the SD card from the camera and connected it to the computer. She briefly looked through the clips she had taken before and stopped when she saw the VR bungee jumping part.
After the project was over, Yunli left her tripod-mounted camera there and only remembered it halfway through the walk. This video also recorded a scene after she left.
Dugfe came over and talked to him: "I also want to try this game, how do you play it?"
The man was too lazy to even bother with the perfunctory business this time. He stared at the VR in his hand and said calmly, "Looking for a staff member."
Then Yunli came back to get the camera, and Du Gefei left without saying much.
“…”
This indeed corresponds to what He Jiameng said, that people with connections basically will not work well.
For some reason, Yunli pulled forward and looked again at the section where the man tied the safety rope for him. Although she knew that the man should be impatient, she still felt that she was being treated differently.
Then, she pretended to be calm and nonchalant, opened her email, and downloaded the compressed package sent by He Jiameng.
After waiting for a while, unzip and open it.
Each of these clips was labeled with the project name, so that she could paste it to the corresponding video. Yunli paused when she saw the thumbnail of one of the videos.
I don’t know if He Jiameng put it in because of shaking hands, this is not the clip of the project she played.
But it was the face of the man she had just stared at for a long time.
No one is wearing a mask.
Yunli licked his lower lips and clicked it.
He seemed to have accidentally pressed the record button and was not looking at the camera. He was holding the remote control, looking like he was adjusting it or playing with it carelessly.
The picture fluctuates.
It suddenly rose to a height of several meters, close to the ceiling, so that one could clearly see the surrounding game items; then it suddenly dropped to the bottom, so that one could only see the texture of the floor.
Yunli suddenly reacted.
This appears to be the drone that the club saw today.
At the end of the video, it seems that someone is calling him and the man suddenly stops moving. After a few seconds, the view drops back to the ground from mid-air. The clip ends here.
Because of this action, the man's appearance became more familiar, and the impression in his mind became clearer.
Recalling a certain fleeting moment, Yunli suddenly realized something. He suddenly opened E Station and turned to a video that he had collected a long time ago.
This was first posted in a discussion thread on E-station, and was later moved to the video section.
It was a previous National College Student Robot Competition.
The video was edited to extract the footage of one person.
The boy was tall and thin, wearing a black team uniform with a moon badge on his sleeve. On the back was the badge of Xifu University of Science and Technology and the team name: Unique.
He held the remote control in his hand and focused on controlling the robot in front of him.
When the victory was announced, several people nearby jumped up and cheered.
The boy was very good-looking, but he was serious and stood aside calmly. His temperament was gentle and clear, not as gloomy as it was now. Then, one of them hugged him tightly, and he frowned and struggled for a few times, but finally laughed uncontrollably.
It is an age when one is frivolous and passionate and does not need to hide emotions.
Overlapping with the man in the video just now.
It's the same person.
It doesn't seem like the same person.
This video went viral on the Internet. Later, it was discovered that the boy had skipped a grade to attend university and was only 15 years old when he participated in the competition.
A life like cheating.
There were various comments under the video at the time. The most popular one was a joke derived from the moon badge worn by the boy - it turns out that there is also a moon on earth.
When Yunli saw this video, he was fifteen years old and had just entered the first year of high school.
At that time, her grades were average, but she unexpectedly got into the best high school in Xifu. She was introverted and taciturn, worked hard but had limited abilities, and felt overwhelmed by the excellence of her classmates.
I also desire to be gifted and extraordinary.
The boy entered the camera at this time.
He became the person she had briefly admired and worshipped when she was young, and who she desperately wanted to become.
After many years, the online popularity was short-lived, but traces still remain.
By typing this information into the search box, Yunli was able to find an interview the boy had given after the college entrance examination results came out, with a casually taken photo next to it.
The boy looked towards the camera, his brows and eyes green, and he had a high spirit that could not be defeated by the mundane world.
The string text is marked below——
The top scorer in the 2008 science college entrance examination in Nanwu City was Fu Shinze.
