Chapter 8: "What do you usually do to self-regulate after you commit a goof?"

Feiyu Ren wouldn't let Wu Lin call Junchi Li and Yang Xia, saying that he had nothing to do anyway, and that he would go back to bed at night to talk about it, or else one of them would be working, and the other one would be killing people, and he would have to mess up a good weekend.

Wu Lin knows that Feiyu Ren is most afraid of troubling others, and even more so for those who have good relationships, he is the kind of person who can give a hundred percent to others, but if others give him a single point, he cares about it and values it very much.

Seeing that Feiyu Ren's eyes were still red from the pool water, and that the rest of his body was fine, Wu Lin listened to him.

For the next hour or so, Wu Lin stayed in the observation room with Feiyu Ren to pass the time. To his surprise, Ye Wang also stayed behind.

The two groups of students thus used the hospital bed as a chow line, you stayed with yours, I waited for mine.

The natural artifact to pass the time on a long day is the cell phone.

Wu Lin and Feiyu Ren play online against each other, and at first they're careful about the impact, both communicating in whispers, and then they get high and occasionally wail, but overall they're still within the bounds of low-key restraint, not really making a lot of noise and affecting the neighborhood.

Next door, on the other hand, was quite quiet throughout, so quiet that Wu Lin occasionally forgot that there were two other people in the room.

At the end of another round, during the intermission, Wu Lin was a bit thirsty and got up to go to the water fountain to get some water.

As he brushed past the next bed, he stole a curious glance, really wondering what the two were drumming on their cell phones that they could be so quiet.

Tan Jiang puts down his cell phone and turns his head to look out the window to relieve his vision fatigue.

Wu Lin's eyes fell on Tan Jiang's cell phone screen first.

...... This guy is actually putting together a jigsaw puzzle on his cell phone!

A snowy mountain landscape that's 3/4 of the way through the puzzle, but still has a bunch of pieces laying messily in the margins.

Wu Lin's eyes felt like they were going to go blind just by looking at them, but the side of the face that was still looking out the window was full of calm coziness.

It was only when Wu Lin came back from fetching water that he remembered to check on Ye Wang.

The man's back was turned to him, and he was playing intently, with a look of devotion that shielded him from the outside world.

Wu Lin slowed his pace and his eyes swept to his cell phone screen.

Groups of critters feverishly move between several tables, coming in, sitting down, eating well and leaving, then flooding in with new critters. Each table was covered with a cute plaid tablecloth, and the animal diners were kittens and puppies and foxes and wolves ......

Wu Lin always felt that the game's screen looked familiar, and when he came back to Feiyu Ren and sat down, he finally remembered that it was the WeChat app game, Animal Restaurant, that Chacha Deng, the class president, had frantically promoted in the group a while ago.

In the time since, Wu Lin has focused on playing online with Feiyu Ren, trying to forget the bizarre world of "crazy puzzles" and "cute pet management" behind him.

Finally, the school nurse comes over and tells observation time is up and you can leave.

Finally relieved, the two groups of students got up and walked back and forth to the door. Tan Jiang and Ye Wang were closer to the door and went ahead, followed by Wu Lin and Feiyu Ren.

But just as he reaches the door, Ye Wang suddenly stops without warning and turns back.

Wu Lin was startled and rushed to stop as well, almost running into him.

The two men looked at each other in all directions.

Same as the day of the fog, but much closer than that day.

So close that Wu Lin felt like he was being watched by a beast, and his skin tensed up.

Then he heard Ye Wang ask, "Was that you riding the wall that day?"

...... What's done is done, and even Wu Lin has a sense of relief that the sword hanging over his head has finally fallen.

Just admit it, what else can be done, it is not a big deal, besides, this is the school hospital, he does not believe Ye Wang dare to mess up.

"Huh?" Brave in thought, more honest in body, Wu Lin enters the acting high point of her nineteen and a half years of life, showing you what textbook bewilderment looks like, "What did you say?"

Ye Wang took a good look at this guy for the first time, and the more he looked at him, the more he looked like him: "Wasn't it you on the foggy day?"

Wu Lin blinks in confusion, pushing cluelessness and innocence into his soul, "Me?"

Ye Wang frowned, if he hadn't reacted to what he had said so clearly, then I guess he was really mistaken.

"It's okay." It wasn't important, so Ye Wang decided to give up and turned around, ready to continue leaving with Tan Jiang, only to raise his eyes and see that, fuck, the people were two miles out.

With Ye Wang's frantic pursuit and Wu Lin's deliberate speed reduction, the two groups lost sight of each other as soon as they left the hospital.

Two o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun is at its grumpiest.

The strong sunlight stings one's eyes, and Wu Lin's coolness from the hospital's air-conditioned room is pounced upon by the rolling heat wave as soon as he leaves the house.

Along with that, his entire being suddenly woke up.

Shit, he just faced Ye Wang, and he was like Feiyu Ren's body, which is not only unscientific, but more importantly, it's humiliating!

Sneak a peek at Feiyu Ren.

Side by side, Ren was shading his hands from the sun, muttering about the lack of shade in the school, the lack of density, and beginning to miss the pristine forests of the Daxinganling that he had once visited.

Fortunately, his own guilty goat was not detected ...... that top what use he felt ashamed of himself ah!

"Yu Da." Wu Lin decided to consult his "seniors".

"Hmm?" Feiyu Ren turned her head.

Wu Lin feints at casual chit-chat: "What do you usually do to regulate yourself after you've committed a crime?"

Feiyu Ren is confused, "Regulate what?"

"It's psychological," Wu Lin says, "Don't you feel bad and regretful afterward and want to turn back the clock and do it again to make sure you don't wimp out?"

Feiyu Ren: "It won't."

Wu Lin: "......"

Feiyu Ren suddenly stopped and stood still, as if he had just reacted, and looked at his buddy with a hurt face, " Wu Lin , do you dislike me?"

Wu Lin was shocked and hastily denied the trifecta: "No, how can that be, I don't have ......"

Feiyu Ren shook her head furiously, already in a sad and violent state of "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen": "I knew that sooner or later you guys wouldn't be able to look down on me, and think that I'm too much of a loser, and my parents said the same thing, saying that I'm not even close to other people's kids. ......"

Wu Lin : "You listen to them pickpocket blind! Uh ...... not ...... what your parents said haha, that can't be called picking blind, that's ...... right, love whipping!"

Feiyu Ren : "No, they both just don't like me ......"

Wu Lin: "We like you, you are our dormitory group favorite, SSR kind of, other people want to draw can not draw, want to rob us have to fight with him!"

Feiyu Ren : "...... Really?"

Wu Lin: "Kung Fu True."

The sun is blazing and the summer flowers are in full bloom.

Wu Lin felt like his body had been emptied.

Why did he open this Pandora's Box of general topics ...... Blame Ye Wang!

In the evening, there was finally a hint of coolness in the sweltering air.

Junchi Li and Yang Xia return from the field, the 333 lineup is complete, and Feiyu Ren's grievances that have been bottled up for a day can finally begin to be aired.

"Really, I'm not lying, he really is like a water ghost suddenly turned around and hugged me!" Feiyu Ren sat on her own bed and hugged herself while talking, playing two roles to perfectly recreate the "scene of the crime", "I was scared out of my wits, and he was so strong and scary!"

"Just tell it properly, don't exaggerate it artistically." Yang Xia sat cross-legged on his bed, leaning on his chin, his expression was like listening to a ghost story.

"I'm not exaggerating," Feiyu Ren said, "or you can ask Tan Jiang!"

Yang Xia confused: "Who?"

"Mechanical Institute," Wu Lin at the window turned back and explained helpfully, "he's the one who pulled Yu Da out of the water with that guy."

Junchi Li sat at her desk under her bed, soaking her feet while pondering, "Listening to Yu Da, it is indeed quite mysterious, but what I met today is even more mysterious, so I believe it."

Yang Xia was really curious this time and peeked out over the edge of the bed, looking down and asking, "What did you run into again?"

Junchi Li sighed deeply, simply overwhelmed.

"Didn't I help the grad student who proposed to sweep the perimeter today, and it was all going well up front, and then the girl got in position and he got down on one knee, and those two crazies actually showed up ......"

Wu Lin: "Those two obsessed schoolmates?"

Junchi Li: "What kind of obsession is this? It's just a couple of psychopaths, coming up with 'I object'! Brother you at least take a close look at the scene, there let you oppose this process! People beating gongs and drums and red silk to seek a Chinese wedding, even the bride price has, single bottom kneeling people to the girl are not diamond rings, is the dragon and phoenix present auspicious such as the intention of the big gold bracelet!"

Wu Lin, Feiyu Ren: "......"

Yang Xia: "I don't care about those two anymore, I just want to hear the gold bracelet part, snappy."

"Stop it." Junchi Li continues the main storyline, "I saw that I had to do it, that's what they hired us for, so I ran over there from a long way away, and once I did, I realized that, true to his name, the graduate student was just as calm and prudent as he was, and at least three or four of the people running with me were all the people he had found to be there in case of an emergency."

Feiyu Ren : "There are so many of you, you can't be at a disadvantage."

"The problem is here!" Junchi Li now recalls, all feel unimaginable, "those two height is average, physical average, is what what is average, our side I count the thinnest, the other all big waist round, this froze so that the two of them knocked down a time, easy to break through the encirclement."

Wu Lin: "They practiced?"

"I don't know, anyway, is the strength of thieves, I have several times to pounce on the past are let a hand thrown away, close your eyes I thought in the roundup of two blind bears." Junchi Li a little backward, leaning back with a difficult expression, "Otherwise I can soak my feet in this hot day to heal my wounds, shit, now my body still hurts."

"Don't stop, brother," Yang Xia heard with vigor, "What happened then?"

Junchi Li : "Then the family and friends of both men and women got all angry and swarmed to subdue the vandals."

Yang Xia nodded, "Otherwise, it's still a matter of plunging the enemy into a sea of people's war."

After lamenting, he realized that Wu Lin by the window had turned his head back and continued to look at the moon.

Yang Xia followed through the space and looked out.

Today's night sky is very clear, the stars one by one can see especially clear, moon especially beautiful, bright as if washed by the summer rain.

But you don't have to lie on the windowsill and stare at it all night if it looks good.

Even when they were having a lively conversation just now, Wu Lin only frequently turned around to participate in the discussion, and his viewing position did not move at all.

Now that the conversation was over, the dormitory returned to quiet slightly.

Yang Xia just realized that when Wu Lin looked up at the moon, his mouth seemed ...... to be humming a song?

Crawling quietly to the end of the bed near the window, Yang Xia strained her ears to listen--

"Kabinsky Tchaikovsky Truck Driver Taxi Driver Tractor Driver ~~ Ivanov Bapunov Babanov He's a Coward Rory Rossov ~~"

Yang Xia: "......"

If I hadn't heard the song before, who would understand the lyrics on this hot mess!
