At midnight, the stars shone brightly.
Hu Fei and I will be keeping watch tonight.
It was originally supposed to be Fei Lichao and me, but Hu Fei insisted on keeping watch, and Fei Lichao unceremoniously gave up the opportunity to him.
Starting at midnight, I kept watch for the first half of the night, until about 3 a.m., then it was Hu Fei's turn, until dawn.
As I looked at the starry sky illuminated by the moonlight, I felt as if the whole world was unreal.
In the quiet night, a gentle breeze from all directions falls on me, creating an indescribable feeling.
This feeling is like... anticipation!
Sitting in the chair, listening to my own breathing and the rise and fall of my heart, I remembered an idea I had a long time ago.
I think it was during high school, my senior year.
Every day was filled with endless test papers and college entrance exam questions. The daily lessons consisted of either explaining past college entrance exam papers or doing college entrance exam papers, and then continuing the lesson after we finished.
Because I was in the best high school in Wutong City at that time, almost every classmate around me was extremely hardworking. Due to the environment, I dared not slack off or give up in any way.
I was afraid that if I relaxed or gave up, I would fall behind my classmates.
Ultimately, I didn't want to be an exception, to be the worst student in the best high school in Wutong City. The experience of that is self-evident.
Ultimately, I am just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who hopes to blend into the crowd.
But beneath this ordinariness lies a pessimistic and tragic thought.
This idea is to transfer schools!
Go to an average high school, the kind that's just average, instead of staying at the best high school.
This way, I can relax, I don't have to be on edge every day, I don't have to spend all my time studying, and I can have more time to do what I want, like playing games, watching movies, pursuing girls, etc...
There were so many things I wanted to do back then, but I never had the time to do them.
If I had transferred schools back then, perhaps my high school life wouldn't have been so monotonous.
Aside from high school, I thought things would be easier after starting university, but I never expected to become a medical student with endless cases and research to read every day. It's driving me crazy.
Just when I thought my future life would be incredibly busy, the world suddenly changed.
It has turned into this horrible sight.
But now, I suddenly feel a little smug. I'm smug that the world has become like this, smug that I don't have to live my life according to the original trajectory, and smug about the uncertainty of the future.
However, this smug joy came at the cost of countless lives.
Many people have died along the way.
Wu Shuang, Zhou Yang, Liangzi, Zhong Linxuan, Qian Cheng, Shen Lei, Zhou Zhengnan, Zhong Jianzhou, Gao Feng, Li Qiming, Li Dong, Chen Shen, Yan Zhengfeng, Yun Lan... and those I killed with my own hands.
These people weren't just names; they were living, breathing human beings! I remember what each of them looked like, I remember what they said to me, I remember our promise to live together! I remember! I remember it all!
But what good was that? They were all dead!
I stared at the starry sky, feeling my heart pounding faster and faster, and I became increasingly anxious.
Suddenly, Wu Shuang's voice rang in my ears: "See you in the next life..."
Tears streamed down my face, and suddenly, I calmed down.
Take a deep breath to calm your excited emotions.
I stood up from the chair, touched the machete beside me, and suddenly felt a surge of determination.
"No more people can die!" I murmured, staring at the starry sky.
"Really, we can't let them die!"
On this star-studded day, I made a ridiculous vow.
I'm willing to pay any price for this ridiculous and childish vow!
...
At three o'clock in the morning, Hu Fei arrived at the rooftop on time.
He yawned as he came to my side, patted my shoulder, and said, "You haven't been standing all night, have you? Aren't you tired? Go back to sleep, I'll take care of things here."
"Um."
I nodded, I was indeed very tired, and turned to leave.
However, just as I reached the entrance of the building, a question suddenly came to mind, and I asked, "Hu Fei, let me ask you a question: Have you ever had a dream?"
"What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly asking this?" Hu Fei teased, but still said, "Of course I have dreams. When I was running my studio, I wanted to buy a Harley to ride, but I never had time to buy one or ride it. Now, well, I've lost everything, but I do have a Harley, so I guess I've fulfilled my dream. What about you? What are your dreams?"
I smiled slightly with my back to him and said, "I've never had a dream."
"Why?" Hu Fei asked in surprise.
I didn't answer him and went downstairs.
Back in my neatly tidied dorm room, I had no thoughts, so I went straight to sleep and quickly drifted off to sleep.
...
When I woke up, I found it was already 10 a.m.
I was puzzled as to why no one came to call me.
Looking outside the dormitory, I saw that Fei Lichao's dormitory door had just opened. He walked out of his dormitory with messy hair and sleepy eyes, obviously having just woken up.
"Why are you up so late?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.
