In my ears, the chaotic and noisy sounds gradually became clear.
Gao Yi opened his eyes from the haze, raised his gaze from his arms, and looked around.
After breaking away from the strange stories left over ten years ago, he returned to the real world again, as if it were a dream.
Under the bright lights of the exhibition hall, various cards were piled messily on the glass table. The game seemed to have ended at some point. The crowd left and only three familiar faces of Gao Yi remained.
"Hey, Lao Gao is awake."
Mr. Qian raised his head and let out a soft sigh: "Are you tired from being the person in charge this morning? We didn't even notice, and we let you fall asleep."
"bump."
Allen tapped his fingertips on the phone screen and said, "Why is he tired? I heard a girl from another class say that he spent more time playing with his phone than looking up in the morning... touch."
"How long have I been asleep?"
Gao Yi picked up his phone and found that it was out of battery, so he had to look at the other three people.
"It's already four o'clock in the afternoon. I have to say, Lao Gao, you really know how to choose your time. You can go home in a while."
Lao Luo showed his screen and said to the two people who were playing mahjong online: "Li Zhi Meow."
Is it four o'clock? Gao Yi smoothed his raised hair. His eyes, which were still a little lazy, opened wide in an instant. He found that all the girls from the nearby club were missing: "They..."
"I've already gone to prepare for the performance."
Mr. Qian held a lollipop in his mouth: "If you go there now, you might be lucky and you might be able to meet them when they step down... Richi, you dare to Richi, you are very brave. You will cry soon..."
"Meow meow."
Lao Luo immediately let go of his hands.
Allen clapped his hands and said, "It looks like a meow."
Gao Yi looked at Mayu and the others speechlessly, and stood up to go to the scene to see if he could pretend to be the invisible guardian he was always there to make amends.
But unfortunately, as soon as he walked out of the board game store, a group of people came towards him, which immediately made Gao Yi want to turn around reflexively.
The chairman took the lead and put his hand on Gao Yi's shoulder: "Gao Yi."
"You may have recognized the wrong person. I am Gao Yule."
Gao Yi chose to turn his back on all living beings.
My cousin who was far away in the company suddenly sneezed.
The veins on the chairman's forehead twitched. He tried his best to put on a kind smile and said in a professional voice like a leader doing ideological work for cadres: "This event..."
He seemed to be trying to find some of Gao Yi's actions today to boast about Gao Yi in front of the other members.
However, after searching for a long time, I couldn't think of anything worthy of praise, so I could only say dryly: "...well done."
Of course, Gao Yi would not naively think that the chairman was really praising him. After all, he was his own family, and he still had to share the same hatred with the outside world.
As for privately, Gao Yibao was not sure whether the chairman would bring the build driver to have a real-person PK with him.
Gao Yi glanced at the rest of the people, and could see that most of them were chatting to themselves, obviously holding an indifferent attitude towards the success or failure of their role, right or wrong.
Even if the person standing behind him was the chairman, Gao Yi would not be able to sneak into this circle with class distinctions between ordinary students.
Maybe it was just the senior who cared about him a little bit. With the way she looked at the dead person, Gao Yi always felt that she was attending his funeral as a former classmate of the deceased.
"Okay, it's been a long day. Thank you for your hard work. Let's disperse. We'll see you at the lunch meeting on Monday."
The chairman announced the disbandment and put his arm around Gao Yi's shoulders affectionately: "Chairman Gao, I heard that you slept well?"
Gao Yi chuckled.
"I don't even dare to sleep with you."
The chairman clasped his fingers as if settling accounts: "The venue is keeping an eye on our club, from the rehearsal to the end of the performance, for fear that someone will make some small move."
Gao Yi coughed twice humbly: "Nothing happened."
"fine."
The chairman nodded and said as he walked: "With me watching, I don't think they dare to make any small moves. But to be honest, you should be mentally prepared early. At the Monday lunch meeting, there may be a vote of people to impeach you."
"Impeach me?" Gao Yi was shocked.
"I guess they didn't see you show up and thought the information was wrong. Plus I was there, so they changed their minds temporarily and planned to kill you directly at the lunch meeting."
The chairman had an incomprehensible look on his face. He shook his head and sighed: "Sure enough, it's too late to train party members now. Not to mention making your wings full, even if you have a hair left, it's all God's blessing."
"Is there any other way to remedy this?"
"Of course."
The chairman smiled and said: "I suggest you go to sleep again. In your dream, all the beautiful senior sisters will speak for you."
Gao Yi's face darkened and he said angrily: "Take your drive and get out."
"You wait."
The chairman quickly pressed Gao Yi's hand and said, "Please keep it safe for me. It's not convenient for me now."
"What else is inconvenient for you?"
Gao Yi looked suspicious.
"Look at that..."
The chairman took Gao Yi's head and said to a girl not far away: "...she always likes to dig through my things, which is inconvenient."
Gao Yi put his hand into his backpack and pulled it out again. He was surprised: "Chairman, did you find a girlfriend from a foreign school?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?"
The chairman laughed and scolded, then slapped Gao Yi on the shoulder: "As old as high school, I'm looking for someone in school, and I can't be chased and hammered by a bunch of people every day."
"Just keep it for me and return it to me on Monday. That's it, let's go."
After saying that, the chairman walked straight towards the girl, with a sunny and cheerful look. No one would have thought that some people were secretly knights.
Gao Yi chuckled twice.
Look at the time, it's time to go back.
After returning to the board game store and finding three card buddies, Gao Yi and his group left the comic exhibition and came to the entrance of the exhibition hall.
"It's raining so hard."
Mr. Qian reached out to catch the rainwater, sighed, and took out the umbrella that looked like a samurai sword from the side of his backpack.
This is one of his gains today.
Gao Yi twitched his lips, took out a normal black umbrella from his backpack, and said goodbye to the other three.
At four quarter past four in the afternoon, because it was still early spring, the days were short and the nights were long, and it was raining, so the sky was already dark.
Pattering...
Didi——
Gao Yi held an umbrella and walked among the gradually brightening lights of the city, listening to the rhythmic clicking sound on the umbrella.
Beside you, vehicles were rushing back and forth on the road, making crisp clattering sounds on the wet asphalt pavement.
A very similar scene.
In a daze, Gao Yi couldn't help but feel a little lost.
He thought again of the ghostly world that seemed to dissipate like smoke, of the girl's soul lingering on the rainy day, of the butcher who chopped off her hands on the rainy night, and of the five words the girl murmured in her last moments.
What exactly does she want to tell herself...
With this thought in mind, Gao Yi arrived at the bus stop.
Not far away, Xie Yingying, her senior and other club girls were already waiting here.
