Chapter 13 Activity Room
Chapter 13 Activity Room
The balcony door is a floor-to-ceiling glass door. Sheng Xun was leaning on the window frame to talk before. When the ghost who was used to following him was not moving around, the stiffness in his limbs seemed to be covered up somewhat. The other party was using a relatively ordinary The posture is slightly leaning against the glass door, and at a glance, one can almost find the vitality and casualness of a person in the ghost.
Hearing Sheng Xun's desperately suppressed shocking inquiry, the young ghost raised his eyes slightly.
His expression is still indifferent, as if this is his usual expression, it has been like this since he was alive.
But Sheng Xun actually saw doubts in this look.
Sheng Xun felt that he could even see a bubble box next to this ghost's head, with three ordinary words on it——
【if not? 】
How can you still be so righteous?
A certain nerve that had always been too rough in Sheng Xun's brain finally jumped at this moment, showing a rare sense of existence.
He and the ghost who looked at him suspiciously looked at each other, speechless for a while.Lao Luo and Chu Shi on the side kept their shocked expressions as the background, and even Tao Ying, who was still trying to think about her "wish" before, turned her head, as if a little curious by this wonderful atmosphere.
"Why are you shocked?" After a while, it was the ghost who spoke first.
His doubts extended from micro-expressions to speech, and his tone was flat to the point that if he didn't listen to the content, he would be speaking declarative sentences.
Sheng Xun showed a choked expression, he was shocked and slowly receded at this moment, he was very helpless when asked back, he casually brushed away the broken hair that was blown randomly by the morning wind, and threw the question back dumbfounded : "Shouldn't I be shocked?"
Whether there really are ghosts in this world, or there are not only ghosts in this world, one of them seems to have followed me for many years, and the other party will diligently take care of housework for me while following me.
Sheng Xun was just big-hearted, not stupid.
Even if his nerves are so strong that they seem to be made of composite explosion-proof panels that can resist cannons, he will of course be really shocked under this series of unnatural events and "unreasonable".
Why?These three words jumped back into Sheng Xun's mind while he was waiting for the ghost to answer.
He really had many questions about the other party.
But obviously, the brain circuits of ghosts cannot be reasoned with the thinking of ordinary people.
The young goblin made no attempt to explain why he did what he did.
After thinking for a while, he only said firmly to Sheng Xun: "You should be happy."
Sheng Xun: "..."
He wasn't asking himself what emotion he should show, there was really no way.
This very firm answer made Sheng Xun dumbfounded. There was no "crying", and only the laughing part was left. He sighed: "You say that, it will make me feel like I got a snail girl for nothing, but the result is not good." Whether you know good or bad, you don’t know how to be happy.”
The ghost didn't know if he had never heard of the story of the snail girl, or if he had heard of it but forgot it because of his bad memory.
He frowned when Sheng Xun said that he "doesn't know what's good" and asked Sheng Xun, "What is a snail girl?"
Sheng Xun told him a short version of the story of the snail girl, and did not forget to express his gratitude—he was shocked by the fact that the other party took care of the housework, and it was strange to be surprised, but if he didn’t even say thank you , how should not.
"But I'm not a girl." The ghost only said seriously after listening, "I'm not a snail."
Sheng Xun felt that this ability to grasp the key points was really amazing.
With a helpless smile, he completely left the window frame, and decided to put the problems between himself and the other party aside.
They can find a chance to have a serious chat later, but right now, Tao Ying's matter is more important.
Chu Shi has already said that Tao Ying's rare sober state is temporary, her resentment is temporarily suppressed, and the will belonging to "Tao Ying" has reached the peak that she can achieve in her current form.
If they hadn't seized this opportunity and worked hard to transform Tao Ying, then once the time had passed, resentment might resurface, dragging Tao Ying back to that state where her evil instincts far outweighed her rationality.
Sheng Xun walked into the house from the balcony and called the others to go out.
When he stepped through the door slot, the ghost was still leaning against the glass door, slowly moving his back away from the glass, and when he saw him pass by, he quietly looked at him.
In a very short moment, Sheng Xun's hand hanging by his side moved.
Until they really went out, walking on the stone road in the old neighborhood in the early morning, they could hear the sound of the wheels of the mobile dining car rolling over the stone, the noisy voices of people rushing to work and school in the early morning, the occasional sound of motor vehicles and engines... Sheng Xun just realized it later. At that time, he seemed to be very sudden, and wanted to raise his hand to rub the opponent's head.
There was no reason for the impulse, and the owner didn't even notice it when it sprouted.
Sheng Xun's gaze calmly swept over the person whose head was almost touched by him, and Tao Ying suddenly said, "I want to go back to school and take a look, is that okay?"
As long as Tao Ying's request is not to absorb life and has nothing to do with eroding others, at this moment, even if she asks for a day trip around the city, no one present will refuse her.
The campus in the early morning is a little more secluded than the residential areas outside, but the summer school library is open as usual, and there are always a group of people who insist on getting up early in every school. Early in the morning, you can see them walking on the campus with their schoolbags in a hurry figure inside.
There are also many morning joggers and other morning exercises in the campus. They wear summer sports shorts and shorts, and from time to time run past Sheng Xun and his party who are walking slowly on the campus because they have to match the pace of ghosts.
"I used to get up early." Tao Ying said softly in this environment full of vitality.
She remembered more things—not the dark and painful memories after death, but some beautiful things that she had really obtained.
Ever since Tao Ying proposed to go back to school for a visit, Lao Luo was a little worried, fearing that she would be emotionally affected by the situation and would be stimulated even more.
It was Chu Shi who quietly pulled off Lao Luo's clothes, and whispered to him: "Senior Tao's Qi is very stable at present."
Only then did Lao Luo feel relieved.
Then Tao Ying, who heard the "whispering words", looked back.
Due to the return of sanity, Tao Ying is now far less scary than she looked before. Her complexion is still pale, but the hideous outline due to resentment has relaxed, revealing a bit of the delicate and delicate shadow of the past.
When Lao Luo was seen by her, he half still felt sorry for her, and half felt sorry for her that he shouldn't talk nonsense.
Tao Ying shook her head: "It's me who should apologize to you... I want to go to the department activity room of the Ministry of Literature and Art again."
During the summer vacation, although libraries and dormitories are open as usual, places like departmental activity rooms are mostly locked.
But luckily they have Sheng Xun.
Based on the experience and familiarity gained from working in the student union for several years, Sheng Xun found the corresponding person in charge and brought him the key. The other party trusted Sheng Xun's character, lent the key generously, and asked Sheng Xun to count a few departmental activities materials by the way inventory, to see if they need to make supplements during the summer.
Sheng Xun accepted the other party's affection and naturally agreed to help.
The man was a little surprised when he saw Sheng Xun and his party leaving again, and asked them with a smile: "What's going on, are you a walking group for the elderly today? How long do you have to walk to reach the activity room building?"
Lao Luo and Chu Shi subconsciously looked at the ghosts around them—the culprit who had to slow down their speed.
Only Sheng Xun didn't change his face, he told the other party: "It's too hot today, walk slowly to avoid sweating."
According to Sheng Xun, the person in charge fell into the entanglement of whether it is better to "walk slowly and sweat less", or "walk faster and turn on the air conditioner", which is more reasonable.
Sheng Xun took the opportunity to escape quickly with the man and the ghost.
Before taking two steps, he found that the ambient temperature around him had dropped significantly, and when he turned his head again, he found that the spirit behind him suddenly became much more spooky than before.
The other party was relying on the coldness of ghosts to cool him down.
Seeing this scene, Tao Ying let out a soft "ah". She looked at Lao Luo and Chu Shi, and her face, which had just shown a beautiful outline, gradually became scary again: "Do you also feel hot? I also--"
Lao Luo and Chu Shi interrupted her almost at the same time, saying in one voice, "No, no, no, no, no, no!"
The psychological quality is far less than that of Sheng Xun, and the two who couldn't bear this kind of face-changing during the day begged the senior sister to accept the magic power.
Chu Shi carefully paid attention to the color of Tao Ying's anger, worried that the other party would be angry because his kind intentions were rejected.
But no one expected that Tao Ying would put her face away in a good manner, and her face returned to calm, followed by a "puchi" laugh.
It was a very different laugh from evil spirits, and one could already hear the clarity of a young girl.
Tao Ying laughed for a while, and when she heard the end of her own laughter coming back from the wind, she was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It seems that I haven't felt what happiness is for a long time."
This sentence silenced others for a moment.
"But I'm really happy now." Tao Ying quickly added.
They finally arrived at the activity room at a pace that was evaluated by the person in charge just now as a "walking group for the elderly".
Most of the buildings in the old campus are "in the same line", and the activity rooms of various departments have also been passed down from generation to generation, and are only regularly renovated every few years.
This makes it so that no matter which class of old students come here occasionally, they can always find familiar traces in these places.
The moment Tao Ying stepped into the activity room seemed to coincide with the past. She suddenly remembered when she first came to the department to report as a freshman, and she also remembered that she practiced singing in the small music classroom next door.
Tao Ying temporarily forgot that there were other people following her around her. Her steps seemed to be a little brisk, and she walked through this activity room with many memories...and finally stopped in front of a group of display cabinets .
The group of display cabinets are integrated with the wall behind, forming a whole wall of honor.
There are honor trophies won by previous members of the department on display in the cabinet, and on the wall are many photos of members of each session when they participated in the activities.
Tao Ying found herself.
It was a photo of her when she won the runner-up in the top ten campus singer contest that year, and a copy of her award certificate was posted next to it.
The bottom of her photo and the copy of the certificate were still densely packed with small words. When she looked closely, she found that it was a memorial message written by someone else.
When Tao Ying stopped in front of the wall of honor, she was as silent as the time that had passed, as if she had been frozen there, turning into a quiet silhouette cast by the sunlight outside the window.
Sheng Xun and his party followed her silently, and no one would disturb her at this moment.Public number push: MTBLCC
After a long time, Tao Ying finally moved again: "I thought... I always thought that I couldn't see these things, they would make me suffer, make me hate more, make me even more desperate to think why I can't continue live."
Tao Ying's voice was very soft, and the hoarseness in her voice faded a bit.
But she didn't notice it, she just raised her hand and touched the corners of her dry eyes, as if she was wiping away the tears that couldn't flow.
"But now I see these certificates and photos, as well as the message below." She continued softly, "The first thought that popped up in me was—it turns out that someone still remembers me, it's great, they still remember me me at my best."
And she almost lost that self.
In a corner of this world, there is always someone who remembers her at her best, she has not been forgotten, and the beautiful things she has left behind have not disappeared with the passage of time.
She was remembered—and that suddenly gave her immense relief and reassurance.
The author has something to say: I originally planned to send Sister Tao away today, but I didn’t expect to fail _(:з」∠)_
