Chapter 11: Downstairs
The light from the streetlamp outside shone right on his face, and the teasing and flirting look on his face was no longer there when I first saw him. Instead, he was shrouded in disbelief and melancholy, appearing to be a different person.
It's only been a day, how could there be such a big change in his body?
Probably sensing that I was also looking at him, he waved his hand at me excitedly, his mouth opening and closing as if he was saying something.
I stood at the edge of the window and stared fixedly for a short while before pulling the curtains closed. Although his eyes didn't make me loathe them, the feeling of being spied on like this was really bad.
Huang Yanyan was a bit unable to understand my actions, "Why did you close the curtains when you were fine?"
I feigned calmness, "Why, do you know him?"
Huang Yanyan's expression became even more strange, "I know him? You know him, right?"
"Since the beginning of the school year, I have often seen him waiting for you underneath the building, because you said you were still single, I thought you hadn't made a good final decision on these two handsome guys, did he do something that disgusted you?"
Huang Yanyan wasn't very familiar with the looks of either of these two people, she also said that this Chen Yanlu often waits for me here, so it seems that Liu Ke's words weren't wrong.
I'm a person who hates people stalking me, according to Chen Yanluo's tactics of squatting and waiting every day, it's only natural that I would loathe him.
Huang Yanyan didn't notice my thoughts and said beside herself, "Last night you also left a note of some kind to me, I thought you were going to play elope with one of them, now it seems like you should have made up your mind as well."
A note, how come I don't remember this kind of stuff?
I immediately asked, "What about the note I wrote?"
Huang Yanyan paused for a moment, then smiled sardonically, "I forgot to put it somewhere ……"
I looked at Huang Yanyan's chaotic desktop and bookshelf, as well as the stuffed cupboard, and could only give up on the idea of finding the note.
Just as I tried hard to think of the contents of the note, the cell phone suddenly rang, I picked up and looked at a glance, it is an unfamiliar phone without a record, and there is no marking is what advertising sales, I was a little hesitant to pick up the phone.
Thinking of the voice of the man downstairs, I intuitively feel that this call is he called.
The person on the other end paused for a moment before asking somewhat timidly, "Are you still mad?"
Sure enough, it was him, and I sighed, "I really don't have anything more to say to you, so can you please leave me alone."
"I really was careless for a moment before I didn't catch you, what's more …… that time was when you were lost in thought not knowing what you were thinking suddenly jumped down, I just didn't react. Don't be angry okay?"
Mentioned the matter of that day, the fire inside my heart came up again, it was not easy to forget that place that made me very disgusted, why did he want to mention it again!
Not to say I directly hung up the phone, this person is really annoying, if I am familiar with him, how can I know for a long time and still do not save his phone number. Moreover, if even Liu Ke does not believe, who else can I trust here.
After thinking about it, I directly pulled the phone number of Chen Yanlu blacklisted, out of sight, out of mind.
Huang Yanyan was completely unaware of what had happened between us, but seeing my bad face, she didn't say anything.
"Counting the time, the seventh day of our principal's head is about to arrive." After a long silence, Huang Yanyan coldly and suddenly came up with this sentence.
Mentioning the principal, I couldn't help but think of the scenes before his death. Although I had only met with the principal during the opening ceremony, my heart was still saddened by his inexplicable death.
"Do you think the principal will come back to the school if he returns to his soul on the seventh day of his life?" With the mention of this matter, Huang Yanyan's brain hole on the tube can not be closed open.
"If he comes back, don't go wandering around, just stay honestly in that studio. We don't have any grudges against him, don't involve us!"
Huang Yanyan's look of godly chatter is also a bit funny, I said: "As long as you do not walk around in the middle of the night, even if the principal comes back will not be able to find your kind of ordinary can't be in ordinary students."
Huang Yanyan balled up a ball of toilet paper and threw it at me, "What are you talking about!"
After speculating with Huang Yanyan for a while, the time for lights out arrived, and the two of us lay down.
Listening to the sound, Huang Yanyan quickly fell asleep, I do not know whether it is too much sleep during the day, now I can not sleep.
The streetlights outside were extinguished several times, already not as bright as when dinner came back. Looking out of the window, the wind-blown tree branches were a little deformed, with teeth and claws, like monsters stretching out countless arms.
I hid in the bed to see the creeps, the principal is also considered to have died in vain, will not have no way to reincarnation in advance to run back, right?
Is running back also do not come to me ah, I just took a last look at you, just coincidence coincidence.
The whole night, I am in this kind of sleep not sleep, half dream not dream state spent, get up early in the morning, under the eyes naturally appeared two dark circles, but also was Huang Yanyan to laugh a bit.
I walked down the stairs listlessly, and Liu Ke was waiting for me there as usual. He saw my dark circles under my eyes and said unsurprisingly, "Didn't sleep well yesterday, did you."
I replied breathlessly, "How do you know?"
"Today is the seventh day of the principal's head, and according to your nature, it would be strange if you didn't scare yourself by not thinking about it." Saying that, he took out a small white flower that was folded very delicately, and carefully pinned it on my clothes for me.
"The principal's memorial service will be held in a while, we are all going to attend."
We are all going to attend!
I also felt that I might be in a trance, otherwise how could I even forget such an important matter. Huang Yanyan whistled a not-so-loud whistle like a lecherous man as she walked past us. I gave her a blank look and left with Liu grams.
Huang Yanyan and I are not in the same department, she has her class group, naturally, can not stand in a square with me to participate in the principal's memorial service.
Today is the principal of the official memorial service, early in the morning into the campus, everywhere is a kind of depressing atmosphere, originally like to wear flowery college students also took the initiative to change into plain clothes.
Although the principal has always been students behind the back of the habit of stealing scolding, but now the dead for the big, who will not say anything bad about him at such a time.
When Liu Ke and I arrived at the class, most of the students were already ready, vaguely I saw Chen Yanlu, his eyes on me never left.
I didn't want to meet this kind of person's eyes again, so I hid behind Liu Ke, so that my body was no longer so conspicuous.
The original school festival's studio has now also turned into a reception room for the principal's memorial service, and the ribbon balloons placed here before have all been replaced with plain white and yellowish wreaths. In the center of the booth was a large black and white photo of the principal.
As soon as I entered the room, I had a kind of inexplicable suppressed aura, for that photo is not even dare to look at.
To be disrespectful to the dead, I didn't think about mourning for the principal at all, but just wanted the ceremony to end quickly so I could leave from this depressing space.
Unfortunately, things never go as planned, and a memorial service for a principal of the principal's stature is sure to drag on for a long time. I was feeling like I was going to be unable to stay in my seat down there.
I turned around slightly and pulled on Liu Ke's arm, "How much longer will it be before we can leave." The atmosphere here was weighing me down.
Liu Ke's appearance looks much more calm than me, it's been almost two hours, not only is he not making any extra movements, even the expression on his face hasn't changed much, it's as if a thin mask has been fastened to his features, stiff and cold.
