Zheng Kai struggled to get up from the floor, walked into the bathroom and took a cold shower.
The moment the cold water droplets touched his scalp, Zheng Kai trembled all over and his mind became extremely clear.
Ten minutes later,
Zheng Kai walked out of the bathroom, and the clock on the wall of the room sounded the hourly tone.
"Ding dong~"
Zheng Kai glanced at the time.
Four o'clock in the morning.
The flow of time in deep dreams and the real world should be synchronized.
Very strange!
Although Zheng Kai only rested in this massage chair for more than three hours, he was extremely energetic, as if he had had a good night's sleep.
It's just a little soreness in my body.
It was obviously a nightmare, but he seemed to be sleeping soundly...
Zheng Kai, who was a little excited, did not go to bed again. Instead, he squatted on the floor and stared at the massage chair in front of him for several hours.
It wasn't until the first ray of light from the east shone into the room that Zheng Kai rubbed his limbs and stood up.
"Let's see if we can return it first."
Open the official website of Zhiwang Technology, and you can easily find the return application page.
Filling out the information previously went smoothly.
But when Zheng Kai entered the "return user number" in the last column and entered 014, the screen immediately went black. After a few seconds, the page automatically refreshed and asked to be filled in again.
"You won't let people retreat?"
"Forced buying and selling?"
Zheng Kai laughed angrily.
After thinking for a while, Zheng Kai dialed Wang Qiang's phone number, but it was still the same, the line was always busy.
Zheng Kai frowned slightly and put his phone aside.
After resigning, Zheng Kai has no plans to find a new job for the time being.
The day passed in a blink of an eye!
Late night falls.
Zheng Kai did not choose to lie down in the massage chair, but lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
It started to rain lightly outside.
One night passed.
Zheng Kai's posture while lying on the bed has not changed, and even his eyes have always been wide open.
"Can't sleep."
Zheng Kai rubbed his head irritably and sat up from the bed.
The whole night, his brain was extremely excited, as if he had drank many cups of coffee, without any trace of sleepiness.
Can't help but,
Zheng Kai glanced at the massage chair a few meters away, wondering what he was thinking.
a new day.
Zheng Kai did not stay at home any longer. After simply washing up, he went out.
The early morning sun shone on his body with a warm feeling, which made Zheng Kai feel a little unreal.
Everyone feels this way.
In a life without socializing with others, even sunshine seems a bit redundant.
Zheng Kai wandered aimlessly. He didn't know where he was going. He didn't sleep all night. Although he didn't feel tired mentally, he was still very tired physically.
Unknowingly, Zheng Kai came to a crossroads.
The northwest urban area of Zhi'an City is the slowest in development, especially compared with several other urban areas, there are significantly more old buildings in the northwest urban area.
However, most of the old buildings are being blasted and demolished one after another in preparation for the construction of new buildings.
Zheng Kai raised his head slightly. The dazzling sunlight made it difficult for him to open his eyes, but the scorching temperature made him reluctant to move his eyes.
In my ears I could hear the voices of pedestrians and the sound of sirens.
"This kind of life still suits me!"
Zheng Kai couldn't help but laugh.
He is just not good at communicating with others, but he still prefers reality to the world of deep dreams.
Mixed in the crowd, Zheng Kai looked inconspicuous.
Half an hour later,
Zheng Kai stopped in front of an abandoned building.
This is an abandoned kindergarten.
From the sign on the iron gate, you can vaguely see five big characters: Zhi'an Kindergarten.
This is the kindergarten where Zheng Kai stayed when he was a child.
"After so many years, it still hasn't changed."
Zheng Kai lay on the iron gate and looked inside. There were overgrown weeds and no living thing could be seen, not even the chirping of insects or birds.
The reason why I came back here may have been influenced by the kindergarten in my dream.
After a while,
Zheng Kai shook his head: "It's not similar at all."
There is no similarity between the Zhi'an Kindergarten in front of me and the Yizhi Kindergarten in my dream.
At this moment,
An old voice sounded in Zheng Kai's ears: "Young man?"
Zheng Kai hurriedly turned his head and looked.
What came into view was an eighty or ninety-year-old grandmother, holding a cane tremblingly and looking at Zheng Kai with a puzzled look.
"Young man looking for someone?"
The old lady looked Zheng Kai up and down, as if recalling whether she had seen Zheng Kai before.
Zheng Kai smiled awkwardly: "I went to school here before, come back and have a look."
Hearing this, the old lady said oh, and while walking around Zheng Kai, she muttered: "Look more, I won't even be able to see it in a few days."
Zheng Kai looked at the old lady in silence for a moment, then ran a few steps to catch up.
"Grandma, how long have you lived here?"
Zheng Kai supported the old lady's arm with a gentle voice.
hard to imagine!
A patient with social anxiety actually takes the initiative to talk to strangers.
The old lady glanced at Zheng Kai in surprise, as if she didn't expect the young man in front of her to be so talkative.
"Fifty or sixty years."
The old lady coughed a few times and let Zheng Kai hold her arm.
Hearing this, Zheng Kai's eyes lit up.
"Grandma, I would like to ask, do you know where No. 13, Northwest Industrial Development Zone is?"
The old lady paused slightly and looked at Zheng Kai with serious eyes for the first time. Not only that, her eyes revealed deep curiosity.
“Where did you hear about this place?”
The old lady tried her best to open her eyes, trying to see Zheng Kai's face clearly, but her drooped eyelids made her eyes only open a crack.
Zheng Kai's mind was racing, and he almost started telling lies: "My grandfather used to live there, but later moved away. His old man often talked about it."
"What's your grandpa's name?"
"...."
Zheng Kai didn't know how to answer. He didn't even know the names of his parents, let alone his grandfather's name.
"My grandfather's surname is Li."
Zheng Kai said vaguely.
strictly speaking,
He didn't lie. The Uncle Li in the deep dream could indeed be his grandfather.
The old lady didn't ask in detail and continued walking forward slowly: "This area used to be the Northwest Industrial Development Zone."
"As for the 13th, I can't remember exactly."
Zheng Kai froze on the spot.
Is there really a Northwest Industrial Development Zone?!
After coming back to his senses, Zheng Kai caught up with the old lady again: "Grandma, have you ever heard of a puzzle kindergarten?"
This time, the old lady didn’t pause, and asked herself: “Is this what your grandpa told you?”
Before Zheng Kai could answer, the old man continued: "The Zhi'an kindergarten you just saw was originally called Yizhi Kindergarten."
Zheng Kai was completely stunned.
The old lady walked to a lime telephone pole, skillfully took out a stack of paper from her arms, took out a piece and pasted it on the telephone pole: "I haven't heard anyone mention the words "Educational Kindergarten" for many years.
After posting it, he ignored Zheng Kai and walked away minding his own business.
This area is not very developed and there are very few pedestrians.
After the old lady left, Zheng Kai was the only one left on the street.
for a moment,
Zheng Kai felt endless surprise in his heart. The sun shining on his body did not feel the slightest warmth, and was even a bit cold to the bone.
His mind is very confused now.
There are some things that I should be able to figure out, but are stuck in my mind.
When the dream came into reality, Zheng Kai suddenly realized that he did not seem to have come out of the nightmare, but the nightmare had come into reality.
wrong!
There must be something wrong!!
Zheng Kai shook his head vigorously. The fear factor made his lips turn white and he couldn't help but tremble up and down.
for a time,
Zheng Kai couldn't tell whether it was reality or... still in a dream?
