When Tang Tang was woken up, Lu Yuxing had completely recovered his composure.

His face was as usual, neither the gentleness when he was coaxing people to sleep just now, nor the aggressiveness that was tense when he was relaxing in the bathroom.

"Get up quickly." He sat on the edge of the bed and pulled Tang Tang out of the quilt, "I'm going to miss the rehearsal."

Tang Tang was sleepy, seemingly oblivious to what happened just now.

He looked around in a daze, as if he had woken up from a long dream and hadn't recovered yet.Lu Yuxing sat beside him without making a sound, Tang Tang's eyes fell on him, and he became a little clearer.

"Good afternoon." Tang Tang said with a smile.

The two got dressed and went out, and walked to the teaching area of ​​the school together.

Lu Yuxing bought two cups of coffee, sent Tang Tang to the downstairs of the club activity room, and left.

It was a Saturday rest day, most students had no course assignments, and a library that was hard to find on weekdays seemed very quiet.The library of City University of Hong Kong is the largest library on Hong Kong Island. When you enter the library lobby, you can see wooden bookshelves covering the walls like castles in the air.The hall is elegantly decorated and is a good study room.

Lu Yuxing took the elevator straight up to the fifth floor, and walked into the medical books area where medical students often go.

The light on the fifth floor is very good, the sun shines in through the windows, and the shadows of the bookshelves are neatly arranged and stretched very long.Several students sat on the long wooden table at the entrance, surrounded by materials that needed to be consulted.

Like other students, Lu Yuxing walked towards the bookshelves in a leisurely manner.As he walked, he looked at the classification labels on the bookshelves on both sides, and finally walked between the bookshelves labeled "Nervous Diseases".

Since Director Tan can't make a conclusion about his current condition, he can only find a way on his own.The diagnosis and treatment of this disease is not developed in this era, and the symptoms of the disease also vary from person to person, so it may be difficult to get treatment in a short time.

Before his rebirth, the anxiety disorder had caused severe depression and pathological anxiety and panic.

The worst time I ever had was when I attended a film conference.In the face of countless reporters and fans, he had a panic attack without warning when he left the field.At that moment, it seemed that the surrounding air was completely drained, and the internal organs were squeezed to the point of exploding.Lu Yuxing forced himself into the backstage and passed out on the spot.

Lu Yuxing was afraid that such a situation would happen again, and he was even more unwilling to let his illness be known to those around him.Anxiety is the ugliest scar on his body, and a ticking time bomb.

He couldn't imagine that the next time he got sick, it would be more terrifying than when he was at a banquet.At that time, not only would he not be able to guarantee his own safety, but he would also be unable to guarantee Tang Tang's safety.

Sometimes, when he was in an extremely extreme state of mind, he did have severe thoughts.

Tang Tang's fair neck flashed in his mind, arousing the beast's desire to prey on it.Lu Yuxing shook his head uneasily, raised his hand and pressed on his temple.

Holding the bookshelf, he read the words on the spine line by line.Many medical professional books seem obscure, and only a few are suitable for non-professionals to read.Lu Yuxing took out a copy of "Self-Help for Anxiety Disorders" and opened it casually.

The heavy old book was heavy in his hand, and Lu Yuxing leaned against the bookshelf behind him, habitually flipping through the pages quickly.

I don't know which page I turned to, when a palm-sized bookmark suddenly fell out.

Lu Yuxing's attention was originally on the book, he only saw a rectangular gray bookmark falling from the pages of the book, and when he looked down again, the bookmark had already slipped into the bottom of the bookshelf.

Standing there thinking for a moment, Lu Yuxing frowned, put the book aside, and knelt down to pick up the bookmark.

The marble floor was a bit cold.He knelt down on one knee and reached under the bookshelf to fumble.Fortunately, the bookmark didn't slip into a place further inside, Lu Yuxing quickly picked it up with his hands.

He stood up and clipped the bookmark into the pages of the book.However, when he took a closer look, his hand holding the pages of the book stopped.

It was a light gray sheet with the logo of the Department of Journalism of Hong Kong City University printed on it, as well as the bookmark of the teaching building of the Department of Journalism.Lu Yuxing remembered that this was a cultural and creative product made by his class of students last year, and the one in his hand, with a frame wrapped in gold material, was a commemorative item only owned by the same class of journalism students.

He frowned slightly, turned the bookmark over and over for a long time, feeling uneasy.

There are only more than 50 students in the same class, who would come to the medical area to borrow books?

His slender and strong fingers quickly flipped through the pages of the book. Lu Yuxing turned to the first page and looked at the back of the cover.

There is a small paper bag stuck to the back of the cover, and the library record card is inserted in it.

He took out the yellowed card and carefully looked at the date and name on the form.

The library used the most common recording method at that time. The number was marked on the spine of each book, and a library card was inserted on the title page. The name of the borrower and the time of borrowing the book were recorded on it.When the book is borrowed, the administrator will keep the library card of the book in order to contact the other party to return the book.

As time went from far to near, Lu Yuxing looked at the line, and his eyes stayed on the last row.

His pupils constricted suddenly, and a chill rose from his back.

One stroke at a time on the library card reads:

——Borrowing date: October 28

Book return date: October [-]

Borrower: Lu Yuxing, student of Journalism Department

Lu Yuxing suddenly raised his head and looked at the huge LED light showing the date at the entrance.

The memory returned quickly, and he quickly recalled that the day he came back from the dead happened to be October 31, Sunday.

The library was surprisingly quiet, with only the slight muffled sound of shoe soles rubbing against marble.

Lu Yuxing slowly raised his head from between the bookshelves high into the wall, and looked out the window with those deep and tired eyes.He stood there straight, looking at the blue sky of Hong Kong City with a calm face.

After a long time, he slowly closed the book and walked to the front desk.

The administrator is a retired employee who wears reading glasses.Lu Yuxing handed her the student card and books, silently waiting for her to operate slowly.

After looking at the student card and the book borrowing records for a while, the old man pushed his reading glasses and looked up at this handsome young student.

She raised her eyelids and looked at Lu Yuxing suspiciously.

"It's you again. You only borrowed it last week, why do you want to borrow it again?" She sighed while taking notes: "Young people nowadays are under a lot of academic pressure."

Lu Yuxing didn't say much, and after the old lady checked her student number to register, she took the book and left.

Club room.

One week until the show.Originally, Jiang Bing set the performance plan for mid-to-late October, but everyone rehearsed and prepared very efficiently, especially Tang Tang, who joined in the middle, not only did not slow down the collective progress, but even mobilized the atmosphere in the club more active.Everyone is already eager to try, except for the details that can only be seen on the stage, such as scheduling and positioning, the early preparations are already very sufficient.

Jiang Bing was very active in her work. After thinking about the school's arrangements for October, she decided to advance the performance to the first ten days to ensure that more teachers and students could come to watch.

Among them, of course, there are also some thoughts that are angry with Lu Yuxing.

Jiang Bing always felt that Lu Yuxing and her should fight side by side.She still didn't understand why this proud comrade-in-arms would suddenly quit.

She glanced at Tang Tang who was playing opposite each other not far away, but didn't speak.

Today, I continue to master the script and adjust the details as usual.

Tang Tang was in good spirits and made no mistakes from beginning to end.In order to match the stage effect, all the personnel responsible for the stage layout, lighting and costumes were present.Everyone moved chairs and formed a circle in the activity room, quietly watching their rehearsal.

The girl in charge of serving Huadao is also there. She is wearing a water-blue knee-length dress today, her hair is combed into a low ponytail, and her neat bangs are slightly curly, as if she had a new hairstyle today.

She was sitting among a group of lighting and sound engineers, holding her notebook and staring at Tang Tang intently.

In the center of the activity room, Tang Tang is holding the hands of the girl playing Gwendolen, begging her forgiveness. Gwendolen accidentally broke through the lies of her lover Jack. The pretty girl's face was full of sadness, and her eyes were full of anger and sadness.

Tang Tang held her hand and spoke emotionally the lines he had practiced countless times.

In the corner of the activity room, the well-dressed girl stared at the two pairs of hands that were clasped together, tightly holding the hem of the water-blue skirt into a ball.
