catch the dream

Qixi Festival passed, and the summer vacation was almost half over. After Yu Hao handed in the first round of drafts, the second round of drafts was sent to the mailbox immediately.It seemed that the agency couldn't find a suitable outsourcer. Seeing that Yu Hao's manuscripts were handed in quickly, he immediately threw another pile to him.Yu Hao thought to himself, is it so difficult for you to find a few translators?But ok ok...Anyway, the one who gives the money will take it.

Yu Hao browsed translation forums for a long time, and found that his job was really moving bricks. In addition to the first time Chen Yekai acted as an intermediary for the manuscript fee, the second time, the agency bypassed him and contacted Yu Hao alone, and the manuscript fee was The price is 20% lower than the market price, and many foreign language school students will not accept it.

But this was already very satisfying to Yu Hao, at least it was better than moving bricks.

"How much is that bottle of wine?" Yu Hao asked Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng: "Two thousand, post a little, I don't owe him anything."

Yu Hao said, "How much did you eat?"

Zhou Sheng: "I am a dignified prince, Yun Laichun, do you still need money to eat at your own restaurant?"

Yu Hao said: "We ate that meal!"

Zhou Sheng: "The bill I signed is included with our dinner. Yu Hao, can you not bother me?"

Yu Hao: "Okay, I'll transfer the money for the wine to you..."

Zhou Sheng said inexplicably, "Didn't I keep my money with you all the time?"

Yu Hao thought so, so he had to count the red envelope back into Zhou Sheng's living expenses, but the red envelope only took 24, so Yu Hao didn't do anything, opened WeChat to scroll up, and ordered the gothic armor The two red envelopes sent within [-] hours made me feel more balanced.

Yu Hao: "I was blocked..."

Zhou Sheng sneered, "You're just a scumbag, you don't even know you've been tricked."

Yu Hao didn't have the ability to identify scumbags at all, and when he was asking Zhou Sheng how he could tell, Zhou Sheng ignored him and fell asleep.

Don't care... just let my life be like this.

Yu Hao gave up completely, his recent life was like a runaway and chaotic farce.He didn't want to go back and forth thinking about Zhou Sheng, about empathy, about the general, about love, about life, he couldn't figure it out, and made himself very tired.For me, love is really like a lottery, not only is it impossible to win, but I don't even know where to throw the tickets for the lottery.

I'll just continue to fall in love with him unrequitedly, Yu Hao thought to himself, it's a big deal to pay attention to the distance, so as not to cause Zhou Sheng to be called gay.After thinking about it, Yu Hao relaxed a little.

In midsummer's academy, even the number of students who lived on campus and didn't go home gradually decreased, and every night was very quiet, as if isolated from the world.The last window of the cafeteria was also closed, the bus stopped, and even Chen Yekai went home.Every day, Zhou Sheng would cook, or the two of them would walk about two kilometers down the mountain to eat some stir-fries.

"What is this?" One night, Yu Hao discovered that Zhou Sheng brought back several clothes and hung them up in the closet one by one. They were all Chinese-style T-shirts and hemp pants.

"It was a gift from the boss." Zhou Sheng said nonchalantly, "I found a part-time job as an online model, and it just ended today, and I paid [-]."

"So you go out every day to be a model?" Yu Hao said, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"No." Zhou Sheng said expressionlessly, then rolled onto the bed and lay down to sleep.

Yu Hao was full of doubts. After finishing reading today's manuscript, he could hand in the second round before the end of the summer vacation, so he had to study quickly when school started.However, the part-time translation job that lasted for nearly five months has made his foreign language writing skills and Chinese texts have improved by leaps and bounds. It is estimated that he can pass the fourth level in January next year with his eyes closed.

Do a job that you are willing to devote your whole life to, and be with someone you really love... Yu Hao can't help but think of Chen Yekai's words in every quiet night after work, the translation is I am willing to give Is it the work of a lifetime?Yu Hao didn't think so, but this part-time job as a translator awakened a certain sense of responsibility deep in his heart.

"Zhou Sheng?" Yu Hao was about to get up to wash up when he suddenly saw the light of the Golden Crow Wheel appearing in the bedroom again.

Zhou Sheng fell asleep wearing the Golden Crow Wheel!

Yu Hao suddenly became nervous, and immediately shook Zhou Sheng. Zhou Sheng opened his eyes in an instant, woke up, and said angrily, "What are you doing?!"

Zhou Sheng sat up irritably, Yu Hao was quite frightened and asked, "Whose dream have you fallen into?"

Zhou Sheng: "..."

Zhou Sheng raised his eyes to look at Yu Hao, his expression was like that of a child who has been bullied, his brows were deeply furrowed.Yu Hao asked nervously, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhou Sheng took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "Didn't I promise you that I would never enter other people's dreams again?"

Yu Hao said: "That's right! Then why do you..."

"Of course it's my own dream, can you still recover?" Zhou Sheng said.

"Oh..." Yu Hao's life was frightened, and he said, "You are in my dream, okay, it's okay, I'm too nervous, you go to sleep."

Yu Hao went to brush his teeth, and Zhou Sheng lay down heavily again, letting out a long breath.

While washing, Yu Hao suddenly remembered that he hadn't paid much attention recently, Zhou Sheng seemed to be sleeping with his hands under his pillow all the time, how long had he been using the Golden Crow Wheel?But have you never come to your own dream?What was Zhou Sheng doing in his dream?

Yu Hao went to bed and looked at Zhou Sheng. When Zhou Sheng fell asleep, his brows were still deeply furrowed. One hand was placed under the quilt while the other moved subconsciously. Yu Hao observed for a moment, didn't ask any more questions, and lay down to sleep.

At this time, WeChat reminded that a stranger added him after eight o'clock.

Yu Hao took a look, added it through search, his WeChat is his phone number, who is this person?

Yu Hao passed through the contacts, and then glanced at the sleeping Zhou Sheng. Just as he was about to sleep, the phone screen turned on.

Stranded: [Haven't slept so late? 】

Yu Hao: [summer vacation, who are you? 】

Hang Qian sent an emoji, and said: [Sleeping, afraid that my mother will confiscate my phone, get up and chat tomorrow, good night. 】

Yu Hao was puzzled, his tone sounded familiar, he put down his phone, and then looked at Zhou Sheng. Zhou Sheng didn't make any movement, so Yu Hao fell asleep anxiously.

For several days in a row, Zhou Sheng wore the Golden Crow Wheel to sleep, and every day when he woke up without saying a word, Yu Hao felt that something was wrong.

One morning, Zhou Sheng was brushing his teeth tiredly, and Yu Hao hadn't slept all night, which also meant that Zhou Sheng didn't come to look for him, so Yu Hao observed Zhou Sheng: "Are you okay last night?"

"Yeah." Zhou Sheng said, "Shall we go to the playground in a few days? The summer vacation is almost over."

"Okay." Yu Hao said, "What are you doing in your dream?"

Zhou Sheng didn't answer. He glanced at the mobile phone in Yu Hao's hand and asked, "Who are you talking to?"

"A child." Yu Hao said, "I don't know how to add me."

"Child?" Zhou Sheng laughed, "How young?"

"A senior high school student." Yu Hao said.

Zhou Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How did you hook up?"

The guy named "Stranded" added Yu Hao, and would chat with him every day. He was 19 years old, a sophomore in high school and just entered his third year of high school. He took a year off from school before, and he was actually a few months older than Yu Hao.Yu Hao was always very strange, and kept asking him how he found his WeChat account, but the other party only said that it was introduced by a friend.

Yu Hao then wondered if this child had an older brother or older sister who was a student at the same school, perhaps in the same grade.The high school student named "Stranded" was taking tutoring during the summer vacation, and asked Yu Hao if he could tutor him in English for a fee.Yu Hao looked at the questions, and it was indeed the real questions of the college entrance examination, so he occasionally explained a few words to him on WeChat.Xindao should not lie, right?It doesn't look like it, but it's too hard to fool yourself into writing an English composition for the college entrance examination.

"When will you go for the photoshoot?" Zhou Sheng had a mocking smile on his face.

Yu Hao: "No, I'm not interested in high school students."

Zhou Sheng: "How do you know if you haven't seen it? Go ahead."

Yu Hao: "..."

"Zhou Sheng?" Yu Hao saw that on Zhou Sheng's phone, the lock screen WeChat was from "Jing Ya".

"Huh?" Zhou Sheng faced the mirror, pomaded and scratched his hair, and said to Yu Hao, "Do you like my hair long or short?"

But Yu Hao's mind wasn't on Zhou Sheng's hair, he said, "You can call me whenever you need something, is that okay? I think something is wrong with you recently."

"No——" Zhou Sheng said, "I'm fine. Say, what hairstyle looks good?"

Yu Hao said: "It's the first time I saw your hairstyle, and your hairstyle is pretty, and the color is also pretty."

"Dye it again for you to see?"

"No." Yu Hao said, "I like black hair better, are you going out today? Zhou Sheng, I think we need to talk."

"In a few days." Zhou Sheng said, "I have something to do today, so you don't have to wait for me for dinner. The pair of jeans that Kaikai bought for you are pretty, lend me to wear them."

"I bought it myself." Yu Hao said, "The original price was two thousand and four."

Yu Hao took out jeans and gave them to Zhou Sheng. When Zhou Sheng put on his upper body, it was more suitable than Yu Hao's. His temperament was very trendy, and he said, "How is it?"

"You are simply a born clothes rack." Yu Hao said helplessly, "The pants will be yours from now on, who are you going to meet today?"

Zhou Sheng smiled, took his coat and went out. It was a rainy day, and Yu Hao stood on the balcony, looking at the rain-soaked road in the drizzle.

Zhou Sheng pulled up his hood and walked lonely on the road outside the dormitory.

Yu Hao packed up the final manuscript and sent it as an email, remembering the sea of ​​clouds and mist in Zhou Sheng's dream, he got up and opened Zhou Sheng's drawer—Jin Wulun was taken away by Zhou Sheng.

What the hell is this guy doing?Yu Hao thought to himself.

Before the end of the summer vacation, the final work was done. Fu Liqun and Cen Shan posted a lot of photos of Hokkaido in the group. Yu Hao was distracted for the time being. Looking through the photos in the group, he was shocked by their show of love. Bo, I thought it would be great to fall in love, and I really want to go to Hokkaido with Zhou Sheng, and just be together without doing anything every day.

Stranded: [Phew, finally the tutoring is over, and school is about to start, are you free today?Have a meal together? 】

Yu Hao said: 【It's raining, I don't want to go out. 】

Stranded: [Come out and talk, I want to commit suicide. 】

Yu Hao: [Don't make fun of this kind of thing. 】

Stranded sent a few "hahaha": [I came to your school to find you? 】

Yu Hao: 【You don't know where I am. 】

Stranded: [Of course I know, I also know that you major in psychology. 】

Yu Hao: "..."

Yu Hao thought to himself, how does this kid know so many things?After thinking about it, I understood that after a year of suspension, I am now a senior in high school, which means that my classmates in high school are all promoted to freshman, and there may be acquaintances in my school.

Stranded: 【Do you have an umbrella?Let me come pick you up, you and Zhou Sheng share a dormitory, right? 】

Yu Hao: 【You know him? ? ? ! ! ! 】

Stranded: [I don't know, but I know the name. 】

Yu Hao: [Don't come here, the shuttle bus has stopped, let's make an appointment for a coffee. 】

Stranded said readily: [Okay. 】Then sent Yu Hao a location, which happened to be Hanfang Coffee.

Yu Hao went outside the academy to wait for the bus, but the bus was rain or shine, but the frequency was reduced.In the afternoon, he went to the conservatory for coffee, entered the shopping mall, put away his umbrella, and suddenly saw Zhou Sheng's back.

Zhou Sheng wore Yu Hao's pair of jeans, a white T-shirt on his upper body, and just had his hair cut. He was with a girl with long hair. He stood on the escalator and went to the second floor, carrying the girl's bag.Seeing that Cen Shan was carrying that bag, Yu Hao thought it was Cen Shan at first, but the girl's dress was very different from Cen Shan's style.

The girl was wearing a long white dress and sneakers. She looked very young from the back and had a very clean temperament. The two looked like young couples, a perfect match.

Yu Hao looked at it for a while, until Zhou Sheng went to the second floor and took the elevator to the third floor, then Yu Hao walked to the other side and went to the conservatory for coffee.

At a table by the window, sat a boy in a blue and white school uniform with fair skin and thick eyebrows.Just as Yu Hao went in to observe, the boy raised his head from the phone and whistled at Yu Hao.

Now Yu Hao couldn't dodge even if he wanted to, so he had no choice but to sit opposite the boy.

"I didn't lie to you, take a look?" The boy showed Yu Hao the mock test report card he got back from the cram school today, and he ranked first in the cram school.

Chinese 133!Perfect score in mathematics!English 141!Wen Zong 129!

"Oh my God!" Yu Hao just wanted to throw the table, "With your grades, you can pass Peking University and Tsinghua University!"

He also noticed that the name on the boy's test paper was "Ou Qihang", the school was Ying City No. [-] Middle School, and he was really a senior high school student, so he didn't lie to himself.

"What to drink? I'll go buy it." Ou Qihang said, "Thank you for teaching me English composition during this time."

Yu Hao leaned on the chair and looked at him, thought for a while, and said, "Sea salt coffee."

Ou Qihang bought two cups of coffee and added five or six packs of sugar to them himself, Yu Hao thought to himself that besides Zhou Sheng, this guy is also a sugar eater.However, it is understandable that people who use a lot of brains need to add a lot of sugar, and sugar is the most consumed by brain activity.

Ou Qihang was about the same height as Zhou Sheng. He was wearing sportswear and basketball shoes, which happened to be of the same series as Fu Liqun's favorite pair.Yu Hao thought to himself that the children are all well-developed now... No, this guy is only in the third year of high school, and he seems to be a few months older than himself.

"Are you a little surprised?" Ou Qihang asked.

"Surprised?" Yu Hao was indeed a little surprised, but he didn't intend to follow his words.

"Me." Ou Qihang said.

"You are so young." Yu Hao said, "It's really different from those of us who have already gone to college."

"But aren't we the same age?" Ou Qihang said, "Forget it, I'll treat you as an older brother."

Yu Hao laughed.

Ou Qihang said, "Yu Hao, what model are you?"

Yu Hao said: "As a senior high school student, you know too much, don't you! Study hard and don't mess around with things you don't have."

Through the contacts on WeChat during this period of time, Yu Hao could feel that this guy came clearly prepared, he came out today to specifically reject him, and decided not to add any strangers on WeChat in the future.

"Want to watch a movie?" Ou Qihang asked.

"No." Yu Hao said.

Ou Qihang: "Then to see the art exhibition? I have a ticket."

The art museum is nearby, Ou Qihang took out two tickets for the Dunhuang special exhibition, today is still the last day, Yu Hao really couldn't resist this temptation, Ou Qihang said again: "Let's go! Don't be so boring."

"It's not boring... okay." Yu Hao was actually not in a good mood today. For a week, Zhou Sheng hardly talked to him. It seemed that he had something on his mind, and he kept hiding it from himself. He didn't quarrel, like a cold war. It's not a cold war, it's dark and oppressive, so it won't be fun, and it rained for another three days, which makes Yu Hao very depressed.

"Let's go." Yu Hao said, "Change your mood."

"Are you in a bad mood?" Ou Qihang put on a shoulder bag, was a little taller than Yu Hao, held coffee in one hand, opened a big black umbrella, leaned slightly towards Yu Hao, and crossed the road with him , went to the museum to see the special exhibition.The power of art can make people forget their troubles for a while, especially when standing in front of magnificently colored paintings, Yu Hao felt that his dreams might be decorated with these beautiful flying apsaras and Buddha statues.

"It's like a dream." Ou Qihang asked Yu Hao, "Have you ever been to Dunhuang?"

"No." Yu Hao said, "I've always wanted to go, but I don't have the money."

Yu Hao found that he didn't know why, but when facing Ou Qihang, he held his hand a little bit, as if he was subconsciously imitating Chen Yekai, maybe in his cognition, he regarded himself as a "teacher" role, and the teacher's last A good interpretation is Chen Yekai's demeanor.

"The lines are so beautiful." Yu Hao slid his fingers along the murals in the special exhibition.

Ou Qihang said: "Yes, the power of the Buddha can make people forget their sorrow."

Yu Hao laughed and said, "Where is there so much sadness?"

Ou Qihang sighed, then smiled at Yu Hao, Yu Hao thought this kid should also be their high school male god, right?His grades are so good, he is tall and handsome, and his living conditions seem to be very good.

After watching the exhibition, Yu Hao and Ou Qihang ate oden and boxed lunch in the convenience store. Yu Hao gradually began to like this kid a little bit. It seemed that he didn't come here just to meet up and date. He was very pure and clean. .Maybe I really just want to chat with myself and make friends.

"Do your best in the third year of high school." Yu Hao said, "You won't regret it."

"Hmm..." Ou Qihang said, "It's just a pity that the time is too short."

Yu Hao said, "A whole year! Do you think it's too short?"

Ou Qihang said: "I mean I failed to develop a good relationship with you, hahahaha——"

Ou Qihang laughed out loud, Yu Hao was immediately embarrassed, and said, "Don't make trouble!"

"Then... I'm going home." Ou Qihang said, "I'm going to live on campus when school starts, so I'll hand over my phone to my mother, so I can't contact her anymore."

"Shall I take you back?" Ou Qihang asked.

Yu Hao hurriedly said no, why does everyone want to send him back, is it just for me?

"It's time for me to take you back, let's go?" Yu Hao finally attacked.

"Then you take me to the subway station? You go back to your school, and I go back to my home."

Before the end of the summer vacation, many students began to return to school gradually. This line is full of colleges, high schools, and vocational high schools, and students come and go with their suitcases.

"Yu Hao." Ou Qihang leaned his back on the railing, and there were not many people in the carriage, he asked Yu Hao, "What the hell are you?"

Yu Hao looked at his ape-like appearance and Fu Liqun's demeanor, and said, "I'm a human!"

Ou Qihang unconsciously licked his lower lip, and said, "Whether you are 1 or 0, tell my brother quietly..."

Just as Yu Hao was about to tease him, he suddenly took out his phone, turned on the recording function, and headed towards the end of the subway car. It was not a rush hour, but there was an old man sticking behind a girl in shorts. Yu Hao said, "You put your phone Take it." As he spoke, he walked over and forcibly pulled the old man away.

Ou Qihang also found out, immediately stood up straight, and said angrily, "Hey!"

Ou Qihang was even faster. He handed the phone to Yu Hao, strode over, blocked Yu Hao behind him, grabbed the old man by the collar in one hand, dragged him away abruptly, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing? You are fucking looking for death!" Immediately, she slapped her down, causing an uproar in the entire subway station, and the girl quickly hid aside.

Yu Hao didn't expect Ou Qihang to be so arrogant. The old man was slapped by Ou Qihang, and he was instantly stunned. Someone on the subway was still confused about the situation, so he asked Ou Qihang, "What are you doing?"

Ou Qihang: "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing! Hitting the old man?"

Quarrels in Ying City always start with "what are you doing" in dialect and end with "you are looking for death". Whenever "what are you doing" repeats, Yu Hao knows that this matter will not end in a short time. Loop said "what are you doing", but no one dared to step forward to ask Ou Qihang to do it for a while, the old man realized that the situation was in his favor, and began to lie on the ground and extort medical expenses.

Yu Hao said to the girl: "You hurry up, you're fine, hurry up now."

Anyway, he had already recorded the video, so he wasn't afraid to call the police. When the subway arrived at the station, the girl whispered, "Thank you." She handed Yu Hao two pieces of chocolate, wiped her face and got off the train. "

Yu Hao was really afraid that Ou Qihang's slap would deafen the old man, but seeing him lying on the ground alive and kicking, nothing would happen.

"I have a black belt in Taekwondo." Ou Qihang said to Yu Hao, "I'm not afraid of them."

Yu Hao: "..."

The people in the carriage sensitively caught the key words, and began to shut up gradually, leaving the old man howling, begging everyone to call the police, sitting on the ground and trying to crawl over, Ou Qihang made a gesture to kick him again: "Get out!"

The old man was frightened, and he didn't speak for a while. When the subway arrived, the two of them got off and changed trains as if nothing had happened.

Yu Hao: "We were actually allowed to leave without any surprise or danger, and we were not deceived. We thought we were going to the police station."

Ou Qihang said: "I'm afraid of hair, my dad said that if you deal with this kind of person, you have to beat him to death. You have to be more violent than him."

Yu Hao: "Yes, I was always unable to do it before, but I gradually learned."

After following Zhou Sheng for a long time, Yu Hao only felt that he had been brought up to fear nothing, and I had no money, so what can you do to me?

"Then..." Ou Qihang put his hands in his pockets and looked at Yu Hao seriously.

"Going away?" Yu Hao smiled, "Study hard, this is for you." He said and handed the two pieces of chocolate that the girl gave him to Ou Qihang, and Ou Qihang took one and left one for Yu Hao.He took out something from his pocket and said, "This is for you."

It was a small box, Ou Qihang said: "It's a Rubik's cube, it's not expensive, I made it myself, take it."

Yu Hao accepted it because he didn't think it was expensive, and Ou Qihang said, "Yu Hao, see you next year."

Yu Hao smiled and said, "See you next year!"

Yu Hao separated from Ou Qihang, put on headphones to listen to music, and went to transfer. On the subway, he looked down at the little Rubik's Cube that Ou Qihang gave him, and turned it around a few times.

Colosseum.

Medusa turned into black smoke and disappeared in an instant, and the flames erupted by the black dragon arrived in front of her, and instantly flew into the air. Then Zhou Sheng raised his head with his shield, Medusa shook off her sharp claws, and fell from the sky!

Medusa wrapped around Zhou Sheng with her snake tail, and flung the scarred him to the sidelines. The next moment the black dragon turned around, Medusa's eyes shone brightly!

The entire arena flickered, and the black dragon whirled wildly, spinning in the air. One side of the dragon's wings was shattered and disintegrated into gravel and ashes. The next moment, Medusa held down the dragon's head and cut the black dragon's throat cleanly.

The black dragon spurted blood and fell heavily to the ground.

Zhou Sheng trembled, and stood up with difficulty in the heavy rain. His armor was almost torn to pieces. His chest and back were all scratches from Medusa. The wounds could not heal, and blood was constantly oozing out.

He lowered his head, and saw his own muddy face in the puddles of the arena.

"Admit defeat!" Satan's voice said, "Admitting one's failure is also a kind of courage."

Zhou Sheng panted and raised his head, Medusa closed her claws, her pupils spun and enlarged, and began to focus light.

"No." Zhou Sheng said coldly.

Sooner or later, the plush fox doll on Zhou Sheng's shoulder turned into a silver light and rose into the sky.

After leaving the subway station, the last bus left at 45 o'clock, Yu Hao waited for [-] minutes, sent a message to Zhou Sheng, but didn't reply, it was already [-]:[-] when he got to the dormitory.

As the summer vacation draws to a close, more and more students are returning to school, Yu Hao looks at the passers-by, feeling a faint sense of loss in his heart.This summer vacation obviously did a lot of things and made a lot of money, but it seemed like a waste of time, which brought him an unspeakable emptiness.

Zhou Sheng went to meet the blind date arranged by his father, and the conversation should go smoothly for a while, right?This is also a good thing for each other... Yu Hao went back to the dormitory under the streetlight and opened the door. Fu Liqun would come back tomorrow, the dormitory seemed to have been cleaned, and Zhou Sheng sat on the balcony.

Yu Hao didn't say anything, he went to the balcony and wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but he saw the Golden Crow Wheel flashing again, one after another, just like calling himself when he entered his subconscious.

Yu Hao: "..."

Zhou Sheng sat on the deck chair on the balcony, sound asleep, with his head slightly turned sideways.

Yu Hao sat on another reclining chair, frowned and gently pulled Zhou Sheng's wrist, placed it on his lap, pressed one hand on the Golden Crow Wheel, and leaned against his head.
