immortal

I remember the curtains in my room were blue, a faded blue, like old-fashioned bed sheets.But now it's off-white with gray vertical stripes.I opened the curtains and looked outside. My house is on the third floor, and my room faces south. There is a Chinese pagoda tree in the yard under the window. It has grown very tall, and a piece of ground can be seen through the gaps in the branches and leaves.This scene was both familiar and strange, and the lingering sense of disobedience emerged again.

I opened the drawer and looked through it, but I couldn’t find the key, some small items, a name badge, it belonged to my dad, his registration certificate for a certain meeting, my mom’s plastic card, a few old banknotes...all of them were nothing. Useful stuff.Zhang Qiling was still sitting on the sofa alone, feeling sullen for some reason.

I checked my phone again, it was past eleven o'clock, and there was still no call back.I thought for a while and went out again, only to see the man leaning on the back of the sofa with his eyes closed and rested with exhaustion.

That's right, he drove for a day, and I slept all the way instead, which would make me less sleepy.But the bed in my room must be crowded for two people to sleep in, and the sofa is not long enough, or can I sleep in my mother's room?I snuffed out this idea as soon as it came up. Subconsciously, I seemed unwilling to enter that room.I simply opened the cabinet, and the bedding was complete anyway. I found a clean sheet and put it on, and found two half-old towels and quilts.

There was a strong smell of mothballs on the sheets, and the towels had several holes in them, which turned white after washing. I picked a better-looking one and put it inside before going out to call him.

He was coming out of the bathroom, looked up and said, "There is no water."

I yelled, and hurried to the door. The main water pipe gates of our building are all in the corridor, and when I went out, it was indeed closed.

It took a while for the water in the pipe to become clear. He washed his hands and asked me, "Where are your family members?"

"I don't know either..." I scratched my head and said, "Go on a trip?"

"Or did you go through the wrong door?" he said, turning to look me in the eyes.

At that time, I thought it was a joke, and I still felt in my heart that my relationship with him had reached the point where I could joke around, so I smiled foolishly.It took me a long time to understand what he was trying to tell me at that moment.

I came back on a whim, I didn’t bring any toiletries, and I didn’t expect to be faced with such a situation where a person went to the empty building. I finally found a few disposable toothbrushes in the cabinet under the sink, wrapped in a transparent bag The toothpaste that is as thick as a finger is almost dry and hard to squeeze out. I don’t know if the toothpaste has a shelf life.The two hurriedly washed their faces, wiped off their clothes, and prepared to go to bed.

He walked in front, and he was obviously stunned when he saw the small bed when he entered the room. I had already followed and said, "Let's make up for a night, this is the condition right now..."

He said: "I sleep on the sofa" bent over, picked up a pillow and walked outside.I didn't even respond to calling him a few times, so I had no choice but to grab him and said anxiously, "I'll sleep...I'll sleep on the sofa, you just lie here."

He looked at my hand on his arm without saying a word, as if hesitating for a moment.

I snatched the things from his hand and said: "You should go to bed, I slept too much during the day, and I won't be able to fall asleep this time..." He didn't hesitate to walk into the room this time, and sat down directly by the bed .

Seeing this, I withdrew and said good night to him, but he ignored me.

I didn't care about his hot and cold attitude, and turned on the TV in the living room. The voice was low-pitched, but I didn't watch it for a second.There was a mess in my mind.

I called my mother last week, and there was nothing abnormal at all. We talked for a long time, and she said that she was very tired recently. I asked if you were too active in dancing. She said that dancing is exercising your body. Tired.She also said that she didn’t even have time to shop on Taobao recently, so I just said I’d buy it for you, but she didn’t mention it anymore.

In short, it was a very normal conversation, she never mentioned about going out, and if she really wanted to go out, why didn't she tell me, it was like disappearing from the world - for a while, I doubted their old couple Abducted by aliens, all the conversations between her and me are just my own imagination.

Or call my second uncle tomorrow morning... or ask my third uncle... I was thinking about it, and I don't know when I fell asleep.

When I woke up, I only felt that my neck was about to break, my waist was sore and my back hurt. This sofa is too old, and a big piece has sunk in the middle, and people are nestled in it.I struggled to get up from the top and looked at my phone.

It was more than two o'clock in the middle of the night.

I didn't want to force myself anymore, I went back to the room with my pillow in my arms, rolled towards that person with my eyes closed, and fell asleep regardless.
