Morning Glory

In the afternoon of early autumn, the air still carries the dry heat of summer.

Lei Zheng drove the car, following the traffic flow on the main road in the city center, and stopped for a few meters. He raised his hand and looked at his watch, feeling a little impatient.The sun was shining directly into the car, making him a little drowsy. Lei Zheng stretched out his hand to turn on the air conditioner again in an attempt to suppress the drowsiness. Finally, he reached an intersection and made two turns. Finally, he drove on a relatively secluded road, which was comfortable Gotta let out a sigh.

The tree crowns on both sides are connected, covering the scorching sun. The light and shadow of the branches and leaves pass over the glass in front of the car, and occasionally a ray of sunlight is sprinkled, and it is bright and dark, as if walking in the shadows... The young self is pedaling a bicycle , also shuttled in the same light and shadow, turned around from time to time and joked with the person sitting behind the car, the person smiled lightly and patted himself on the back, "Ride faster, the wind is cool!"

"I rely on you, then you pedal, I sit."

"No! You have good skills, and those who can do more work."

"Fuck your uncle, you can do more work! You see how I will deal with you when it's your turn!"

"Okay, it depends on your ability...can it be my turn!"

"Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, I still don't believe it!"

"Coincidentally! I don't believe it either! Hahahaha..."

The bicycle speeds past briskly, with laughter all the way, and the youth along the way...

At the end of the road is a middle school. Today is the weekend, and the school gate is still open. You can see the banner of "Welcome Alumni" hanging in the school at a glance. There are many people in the small square in front of the main teaching building. Joy and emotion on the face.

Lei Zheng parked the car according to the signs, and walked slowly to the registration area.

Suddenly I heard someone calling my name: "Lei Zheng! Lei Zheng!"

Lei Zheng had just turned around halfway, when Fatty Zhang's fat body rushed forward, stopped steadily and slowly like a tank, and climbed onto Lei Zheng's shoulder with his arms hanging, "You are late, change the layout in the auditorium Come out, let's take a breath, it's time for a theatrical performance." While talking, he walked to the signing office with him.

Lei Zheng said indifferently, "Something got stuck, anyway, what they talk about is not much different every year, it doesn't matter if you listen to it or not..." The two of them walked to the sign-in table while talking Before the meeting, Lei Zheng signed his name in the attendance book, and took the attendance book by the way to look through it.

"It's also..." Fatty Zhang saw Lei Zheng flipping through the registration book very carefully, and said clearly: "Zhao Hui didn't come."

Lei Zheng nodded, didn't say anything, and put the big red stamped sign-in book back to its original place.

"It's been so many years since I graduated, but he's never been here, and he's never been in contact with any of his classmates. He probably didn't do well. All the classmates in my class are over there..." Fatty Zhang said, pulling Lei Zheng towards the old man. Walking in the circle of classmates, "The world is big and small, and several students in our class met by accident, and then regained contact, and then radiated like this, basically they are drawn together, There are only a few people who have not been contacted, and some people know the news after graduation. The family moved to other places, went abroad, etc., but no one really mentioned where they met Zhao Hui. I guess it is probably I am no longer in this city..."

"Not necessarily, it may just be that there is no intersection..."

As the two of them talked, they came to a group of old classmates. Everyone greeted each other. Although they didn't see each other very often, they were still very friendly. Rather than saying that they were happy to see the old classmates, it was better to say that they were seeing the old classmates in the eyes of the old classmates. My own self, back to that period of youth that cannot be returned.

Lei Zheng chatted with everyone for a while, found an excuse to leave, and wandered around the campus by himself.

The school celebration time is scheduled to be on Saturday, and there are no classes, but all classrooms are open, leaving it for old alumni to recall their youth.Even though he graduated for many years, the school still hasn't changed much. Lei Zheng found the classroom of that year with ease.

There are already several groups of people in the classroom recalling the past, and it seems that none of them are from the same class as him, and they don’t know any of them. Fortunately, his seat was still vacant back then, which was exactly what he wanted. Lei Zheng walked over slowly and sat down. Down.Sitting in the seat of the year with his current physique, he felt that the space was a little cramped. Lei Zheng tried to push the table forward, and found that the current table was already integrated with the tablemate. The table was pushed forward, just like Fatty Zhang who squeezed in front.

Looking around the classroom, the decorations of the past have long since disappeared. There are still light blue curtains on the windows, but they have not been drawn. The sunlight has flooded most of the classroom and shone directly on Lei Zheng's seat before he sat down. Within a few minutes, I felt my skin hurt from the sun, just like the day when I met Zhao Hui at the beginning of the year, he felt exactly the same when he was lying on the table to sleep.

That day... It was also the same season, this kind of sunshine, but the curtains were drawn, but not drawn tightly, and a palm-width of sunlight shone in, just shining on the back of Lei Zheng's neck, making his skin ache, but he Endure, continue to lie still.

Played games last night, fought fiercely until late at night, and didn't go to bed until dawn. In the morning, I was barely in good spirits, but in the afternoon, I couldn't support it anymore, and I was so sleepy.

This high school is the top high school in the city, but in this kind of school, there will always be one or two classes of students who are not admitted, or money, or power... Therefore, most of the students in this class are also I don't expect the results of the college entrance examination with thousands of troops crowded on the single-plank bridge, and so... the teacher just dutifully explained what should be said, and didn't care whether the students listened to it or not. It's good to sleep, at least not influence others.

The homeroom teacher on the podium was conscientiously lecturing on the class, and it sounded like a monotonous lullaby to Lei Zheng, chattering endlessly... Fatty Zhang, who was sitting in front of him, tapped Lei Zheng's desk lightly with his hands behind his back. Fatty is a "best friend", so he definitely wouldn't knock on it for nothing, there must be a situation, so Lei Zheng stood up from the desk reluctantly and looked at the podium.

At some point in front of the podium, two more people appeared. One was the bald, short and fat director of the Academic Affairs Office, and the other was a boy in school uniform. It seemed that another transfer student had arrived.Lei Zheng sized up the new male classmate. He looked about the same height as him, but a little thinner than him. The school uniform was neatly buttoned, and he was carrying a backpack. He was a good student. look.

The director of the Academic Affairs Office whispered a few words to the director first, and then announced to everyone: "This is a new student. From now on, everyone should unite, love and help each other. Come! Welcome new students!"

There were several scattered applause in the classroom... The director of the Academic Affairs Office was also very perfunctory, and turned to the head teacher and said, "Teacher Zhang, please make arrangements for me. You can continue with the class. I'll leave first."

The homeroom teacher watched the short and fat figure being shut out by the classroom door, then looked at the new students standing in front of the podium, and said enthusiastically: "The new students should introduce themselves first."

"My name is Zhao Hui, please take care of me in the future." The tone was flat, without the usual nervousness of new students, let alone any overtures to make a good impression on everyone.

The homeroom teacher waited for a few seconds, seeing that he had nothing to say, pointed to the seat next to Lei Zheng, "Just sit in the empty seat in the last row. If it doesn't fit, you can transfer with other students."

"Okay." Zhao Hui agreed and walked towards Lei Zheng.

Quite a few students in the class heard the difference, including Lei Zheng—there was a new student before, and the teacher never said that the seat was inappropriate and could be adjusted. This... seems... special, so this is special Is it because of Xin Xin himself, or because of Lei Zheng?Lei Zheng is a bully in the class and even in the school, no one dares to provoke him, no one has been sitting at the same table as him!If it wasn't because of Lei Zheng, then this freshman has a strong background?Several searching eyes followed Zhao Hui's figure, stuck to him and moved towards Lei Zheng.

Lei Zheng was very reluctant to have someone sitting next to him, and he bullied and squeezed away his original deskmate, and then forcibly pushed the table forward by nearly a third of the space, squeezing the fat man in front of him round and round. Become flat, the fat man is not only willing, but also willing to flatter.In fact, it is very cool for one person to occupy the seats of two people. It is not because the space is much bigger. The cool thing is that he is different. Now he will be like everyone else, but he also knows that if there is a vacant seat, the teacher will not arrange it. Sitting next to him, this guy can only feel resentment spontaneously and has nowhere to go.The fat man in front half turned his head and sent a sympathetic look... At the same time, Zhao Hui had already walked to his seat.

Zhao Hui stretched out his hand to pull the chair, but he didn't pull it. He looked down and saw that it was Lei Zheng's legs stretched under the chair. He looked at Lei Zheng, but the other party looked down at the book jacket in his hand and didn't see it.Zhao Hui exerted force with his hands calmly, and pulled back again. This time, the chair actually moved an inch. Lei Zheng pretended to have just realized, "Oh, I'm sorry." At the same time, he loosened the strength on his legs, and slowly Pulling his legs back, let him easily pull the chair an appropriate distance away. When Zhao Hui faced the podium and stood between the chair and the desk, he was taking off his backpack from behind and was about to put it on the desk. Secretly lifted the chair slightly off the ground, preparing for the moment he sat down... the eyes fixed on Zhao Hui changed from searching to anticipating.

Lei Zheng's face remained calm, and there was a tinge of pride in his heart. This trick has been tried and tested, and no one can escape it... I imagined that the scene where the boys are about to make fun of the girls and the girls are covering their mouths and snickering, I am "huh" Hesitated between pretending to be cold or rushing to help the new classmate pretending to be enthusiastic... Unexpectedly, Zhao Hui took off the backpack that was already going forward and put it on the back of the chair in an arc, and the chair suddenly After a moment of sinking, Zhao Hui sat down steadily at the same time, carried the schoolbag back and put it in the seat like a normal person, and pulled the chair forward.There was only a slight "click" sound during the whole process, as if nothing had happened, only Lei Zheng knew that the calf bone was so painful that he couldn't help gasping, "Hiss~".

What's more annoying than knocking is that the eyes with different meanings, in Lei Zheng's view, are all gloating!Gritting her teeth secretly, she pulled back her leg and rubbed it too embarrassedly, looking at her new deskmate who looked like a normal person, she counted him as the opposite.

Thinking of this, Lei Zheng crossed Erlang's legs and touched the place where he knocked back then, it still seemed to be a little painful.

Fatty Zhang poked his head in, "Lei Zheng! Lei Zheng! We're taking pictures, come quickly!"

Lei Zheng stood up and walked out of the classroom, "Is there anything to take pictures of, it's not the same every year, how much can it change."

"Then how can it be the same, I'm fat again." Fatty Zhang was like Lei Zheng's little follower back then, and Lei Zheng only kept in touch with him during his study abroad. Anyway, with Fatty, the situation of the whole class is basically knew.

While walking to the place where the photo was taken, I heard Fatty Zhang babbling, what kind of class flower married a bad husband, so-and-so is idle, so-and-so is doing well, so-and-so's company is about to die... Lei Zheng is all over. I just forgot, it’s not that I have a shallow friendship with my classmates, it’s just that I don’t care about it. I lost contact with everyone when I went abroad to study. Although I have participated in class reunions and school celebrations in the past two years since I came back, after all, I haven’t kept in touch so close.Suddenly Fatty Zhang pushed his arm hard, "Hey, look over there!"

Lei Zheng followed his chubby fingers to look over, a tall and thick man, "Who is it?" Lei Zheng couldn't recognize it.

"Li Bo!" Fatty Zhang resented, "How many classmates he robbed back then! He robbed me of a lot of pocket money!"

"Look for him to come back." Lei Zheng smiled.

"Forget it." Fatty Zhang shrugged, "Just treat it as medicine for him."

Lei Zheng smiled and rubbed Fatty Zhang's big head, "Look at you, you are still so cowardly!"

"Not at all..." Fatty Zhang was a little twitchy, then looked at Lei Zheng, and the admiration from that year appeared in his eyes again, "Actually, you asked for most of them back, and you didn't lose much."

Lei Zheng laughed out loud, "I'm not capable of fighting against their team. It should be said that Zhao Hui helped you come back."

Fatty Zhang also laughed, and hooked Lei Zheng's shoulders, "Hey, we two walked past you with a big swagger!"

"Come on, you're really promising! If you want to go, go by yourself."

The two walked over while talking, and heard someone shout: "Hey, who is it! The surname is Lei!"

Lei Zheng turned around reluctantly, "Call me?"

Li Bo was already standing in front of him, "Lei... Lei..." He scratched his head embarrassingly while speaking.

"Lei Zheng." Lei Zheng announced his name.

"Oh, Lei Zheng, I'm sorry..." Li Bo smiled, "I'm sorry, I didn't remember your name."

"What do you want?" Fatty Zhang took a step forward, covering half of Lei Zheng's body.

Lei Zheng gently pulled the fat man away, "Why are you so nervous, how grown-up are you..." Then he smiled at Li Bo, "The fat man is used to being scared by you, conditioned reflex."

Li Bo also laughed, "Oh, it happened when I was a child, don't worry about it buddy, you can't choose today to fight, right?"

Fatty Zhang looked at the sky at 45 degrees, "Who is your buddy!"

Li Bo didn't care, "No, it's not, it's nothing." Turning to Lei Zheng: "The one who always stays with you."

"Are you blind? Am I not standing here!" Fatty Zhang felt his presence.

"Not you, that one! The one who beat me with you!"

Fatty Zhang laughed, but Lei Zheng couldn't laugh, "No contact. I haven't heard from him for many years."

"Ah... I'm sorry, I thought I had a chance to meet him... Do you... have contact? How is he recently?"

"We have no contact with him either." Lei Zheng emphasized, "We haven't contacted him since graduation."

"Oh...it's a pity." Li Bo said again, "No fate...I really want to see him again!"

"No one in our class has contact with him," Fatty Zhang interjected, "You want to find him?"

"Ah, no, no!" Li Bo quickly denied, "It's okay, I just want to see you again, so ruthless! Enough loyalty! Enough strong! Damn, my buddy admires it. It's rare for me to convince someone."

"Look, I really convinced you." Fatty Zhang felt complacent from nowhere.

"Go, go, where are you going?"

"Then where do you say it is!"

"You don't know?" Li Bo continued after finishing speaking, "Well, I guess you don't know, and you don't know the way, and I don't know very well, I just heard it. Anyway, you are the most bloody person on the way. In the story, someone wanted to take the position of the boss, so he plotted against the boss, and of course there was another group of people who refused to accept this kind of villain, but they couldn't say they were the boss, so they wanted to help the original boss's son to take the position, which was Zhao Hui."

"This..." Fatty Zhang listened in disbelief, "It's really bloody..."

"Yeah! Anyway, I don't know what happened later. The enemy arrested one of his brothers and asked him to negotiate. If they couldn't reach an agreement, they would attack on the spot. The moon was dark and the wind was high, and I couldn't see my fingers. Fuck, he was alone, with a long knife , Destroyed the opponent's hall, like a martial arts movie, hacked all the way, the opponent's people jumped up in groups, blood flowed into a river..." Lei Zheng listened, as if a cold knife light flashed in front of his eyes , reflecting the person's eyebrows and eyes, the sound of the blade piercing the wind mixed with screams, splashed blood, intertwined into a tragic scene, but that person moved forward generously, without hesitation!

"I heard that the knives were so slashed that the blades curled up, so I can't take it!"

Lei Zheng has seen his knife before, it is long and narrow, sharp, just like his own, tough.

"... Finally saved the person, the knife stabbed at the ground, no one came up again, and watched him take the person away... The back was straight, as if so many knives hadn't cut him..."

"It's...really like...electricity, movie...then what happened to him..." Fatty Zhang seemed a little frightened.

"I don't know, why don't you ask Lei Zheng!"

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Of course not. Then can you still stand here and talk all the time? I heard from my buddy. He went in later. I went to other provinces for a few years, and then I lost contact."

Fatty Zhang unconsciously wiped his forehead with his hand, Lei Zheng turned and walked away, and said, "Don't listen to your buddies talking nonsense, the moon was fine that night, it was very bright."
