Ni Yangzhou stood in front of Yan Jin's luxurious house and asked:

"You really don't need me to send you off tomorrow?"

The little boy touched the strap of his schoolbag and said, "You go eat. I walked by myself before. It's okay."

"No, I'm worried." Ni Yangzhou took a breath with anxiety.

"Well, I'll ask someone for help."

Before Ni Yangzhou could say the name, Yan Jin interrupted:

"Don't worry, don't worry. I always walked by myself before."

"So I was harassed by that leather jacket guy." Ni Yangzhou's eyes widened. He no longer listened to the other party's excuses and took his cell phone to make a call.

When he came back, the boy took Yan Jin's phone and entered a number.

"This is Li Yuan from our class."

Ni Yangzhou typed and said:

"Do you have any impression?"

Yan Jin nodded: "Small eyes, and a very cute girlfriend."

"Yes, it's him. He's also good at fighting."

"He'll take you there tomorrow, along with his girlfriend. They're both going on a date, so they'll drop you off and leave."

Yan Jin hesitated and wanted to refuse.

"Don't refuse. I'm relieved. Bi Feng is also worried. If he knew I let you go home alone tomorrow morning, he would go to the door of my class and cry."

Yan Jin's face flushed and he nodded.

"We agreed. Remember to wait for Li Yuan tomorrow."

Ni Yangzhou explained everything clearly and finally returned home.

Winter is approaching and it gets dark early. There used to be a group of grandpa and grandma basking in the sun in front of the building, but recently we rarely see them.

It was cold, so I went home early to watch TV.

There are shadows cut by the sunlight between the tall buildings, like regular geometric shapes. The places without light are bright, and the places with light still have a trace of warmth.

Ni Yangzhou lay in the sun for a while, exposing his face to the bright white light and enjoying a moment of tranquility.

Until the light moved away and the sun set, the boy finally started back to the building.

Halfway through the walk, Ni Yangzhou's eyes were dazzled by the bright light.

This is……

The boy looked up and saw a small ray of sunlight between the buildings cut by the building in front, shining on the balcony on the fourth floor.

The big antenna pot of the grandma next door was like a magnifying glass, flashing brightly in Ni Yangzhou's eyes.

Another flash, and the grandma in the gray cardigan adjusted her position and went into the house.

Ni Yangzhou felt relieved.

I thought someone was spying again.

As soon as I got home, my cell phone rang again, two short vibrations.

Message from Meng Ting:

[What do you want to eat tomorrow morning?]

Ni Yangzhou held the phone and thought for a while.

[I’m a bit tired of the breakfast spread.]

It’s the same every day, even if it tastes good, it’s no longer fresh.

I don’t know how Ni Yangzhou’s mother could hold on for so long.

[OK. ]

Ni Yangzhou was too lazy to think about what it meant. He put down his phone and walked to the window, looking at Room 402 on the fourth floor more than ten meters away.

The window was open, the curtains half drawn, and light was shining from inside.

Ni Yangzhou observes the situation across the street every day. Today is the first time that there are people there at night since the theft and injury incidents in such a long time.

The boy put his head against the window and wiped the glass with his hands to block out a small area of ​​vision for himself.

I can't see clearly.

Ni Yangzhou picked up his phone, turned on the video mode, and zoomed in for a closer look.

...It’s better not to watch it.

When the camera on mobile phones this era zooms in, the image quality is so blurry that it's almost blurry.

Ni Yangzhou cheered himself up and thought of another solution.

How about going to check it out again in the evening?

correct.

Ni Yangzhou rummaged through the desk drawer and found a monocular telescope that belonged to the original owner.

I stood in front of the window, raised the telescope and saw a silver-gray color.

?

I didn't adjust the parameters, the silver-gray one is the window frame of my own house.

Fortunately, it was not difficult to adjust. After adjusting the objective lens and eyepiece, Ni Yangzhou saw the living room opposite.

The long square thing on the wall was indeed a wedding photo. There was a color TV in the middle of the background wall, and underneath it was a heavy TV cabinet.

I can't see the faces in the wedding photos clearly.

Ni Yangzhou turned the focusing wheel, and the field of vision gradually became clear, and the originally blurred color blocks gradually showed their outlines.

It's half an eye.

...a living person, who even blinked.

The boy retreated suddenly and hid behind the curtains, stroking his pounding heart without saying a word.

Depend on, depend on, depend on…

Is this what happens when you voyeurize?

Ni Yangzhou was still in shock and tried to recall the past.

That half eye...

Ni Yangzhou carefully recalled the instantaneous impression. The white of the eye was very white, the pupil was not fully visible, and the eyelashes...

Can't remember.

Ni Yangzhou lifted a small corner of the curtain with one hand and looked over there as inconspicuously as possible. There was no one moving around in the visible area of ​​the living room.

The curtains were not drawn, so the person on the other side might not have noticed.

I looked through the telescope again, but there was no movement.

Ni Yangzhou put on his sports jacket, carried his schoolbag, and hurried downstairs.

The boy walked lightly and climbed to the fourth floor opposite in one go.

Ni Yangzhou looked at the closed door in front of him and swallowed.

"Dong dong dong."

Knocked on the door of room 402 on the fourth floor.

"Mom, I don't have my key, open the door."

Ni Yangzhou knocked twice more, looking like a teenager going home from school. His sportswear was loose on his lean and upright figure, and the empty backpack behind him made his coat wrinkled.

"Mom? Open the door?"

……

There was silence. There was no peephole in the door. I could hear footsteps approaching the door, but it didn't open.

A middle-aged woman's voice was heard. It was the female household owner who was met by chance at the gate of the community that day.

"Who is it? Did you come to the wrong door?"

The voice was weak and didn't sound very courageous.

Ni Yangzhou couldn't pretend that he didn't hear clearly anymore. The voices were coming from the door, and the sound insulation was average. It would be too much to pretend again.

I had to act: “Hey, yes… oh oh oh

Auntie, I'm sorry, I went to the wrong place. Sorry, I'm on the fourth floor opposite."

A muffled voice came from the room, "Okay, okay."

Ni Yangzhou waited for two seconds, but the other party still had no intention of opening the door to take a look. There was no sound of footsteps, and the person was still standing at the door waiting for any movement.

Ni Yangzhou thought for a moment, then deliberately stepped heavily and went downstairs with a "dong dong dong" sound.

Return empty-handed again?

Ni Yangzhou went downstairs but did not go home. He found a place to hide secretly in the green bushes downstairs.

You can just see the unit door exit.

I had previously chatted with the grandparents who were basking in the sun downstairs, and I had seen almost all the neighbors passing by before. They recognized his face, so Ni Yangzhou decided to spend some time here to see if he could see any suspicious strangers.

What if I guess wrong? Waiting with this idiot all night?

There was no one in Ni Yangzhou to ask, and he couldn't play with his phone. The street lights in the community were dim, and once the phone screen lit up, his location would be exposed.

Does 402 have anything to do with the task?

Ni Yangzhou was worried and racked his brains to come up with several possibilities, but he overturned them all in annoyance.

After waiting for more than an hour, the task progress report came through, but it was still the same old number, no change, a difference of 0.01 to half.

Ni Yangzhou's legs and feet were sore, so he slowly sat down.

Still no one coming in or out.

The boy lowered his head, pulled up his dark sportswear, tucked his head into his clothes, and checked the weather on his phone.

Sunny on Friday, cloudy on Saturday, followed by a string of sun.

It hasn't rained since I came here.

Ni Yangzhou felt that he might be the "Yang God".

Just as I was thinking about it, the unit door rang.
