A novel about depravity.

The first part-capture the shadow

When Zhou Xixi returned to school, things had spread-

A senior three boy was innocently involved in playing Europe outside school. Unfortunately, a fruit knife was inserted into his chest, and the consequences were very serious. The policeman and his sad parents appeared alternately on the campus. Rumors cannot be suppressed. Finally, the fruit knife was replaced by a boneless cotton palm. Girls have no choice. The topic of spare time lingers between clothes and stars, and it is inevitable to come back here:

"It's a pity to die."

"Isn't it because of the fight?"

"It is said that it is just unfortunate to pass by."

Zhou Xixi leaned down: "Which boy?"

"Ah, did you hurt your leg?" Someone held her shoulder.

"The plaster has been removed, almost as good." Zhou Xixi gave a hand and continued to chase the topic. "Who is it? What's your name? "

"Well, Ye Xu, right?" The other party scratched his head. "I don't know."

"eh? But I heard it was called Xian Ye. " The other jumped out and questioned.

"Really, gossip also gossip very clearly. There is no professionalism at all. " The girls twisted each other's cheeks and laughed.

Small talk is mostly like this.

Perhaps because it has nothing to do with myself, the original third grade is far from the classroom where the second grade is located. Therefore, when the sense of distance dilutes the evaluative regret and helplessness of people nearby, when the details of time are unknown and speculation becomes the theme, it seems that this tragedy is more about the nature of talking after dinner, and less respect is mentioned. It seems that only the headmaster will continue to grieve in his speech under the banner of "paying attention to extracurricular safety" The only valuable information that can be obtained from his subject is probably that the young man's name is "Ye Xu" instead of "Xian Ye" or something else. Class 4, Grade 3.

Zhou Xixi raised her eyelids and looked in the direction of the queue where she was in the third year of high school.

It's always good to know the name anyway. I have seen movies related to Yin and Yang teachers before, which said that a person's name itself represents a kind of "magic". There is no specific explanation in the film, but Zhou Xixi vaguely feels that each name can have an impact on the people around him and has a unique sense of existence. The simplest example is that after learning that this young man's name is "Ye Xu", you obviously don't know him, but at the moment you hear him, you will have a strange feeling about him. It is a much clearer mood than before knowing the name, like orange light emerging in autumn fog.

You can even see his vague appearance from the name, but you can't describe it.

It's strange to think about it. Just because I know the name.

When Zhou Xixi went to the library to return books, she met her senior, a girl who is a casual acquaintance and is also in Class 4, Grade 3.

Because Zhou Xixi broke her leg on the physical education class before, she rested for three weeks. They haven't seen each other for some time and talked a little. After talking about "unlucky legs" and "books I want to borrow", the topic was just about to turn to the next one when someone came to call the senior. Zhou Xixi stood by and heard their conversation.

"Zhuo Hang wants to see you."

"Hey, what?"

"You are not going to visit Ye Xu his parents? The class teacher booked it this morning. Forgot? "

"Ah, almost!" The girl knocked on her head and looked back at Zhou Xixi with an apologetic look. "Well, see you another day."

"Yes, yes, goodbye."

Leave the library. A soft wind blew from the west in late spring, and it became stronger when it entered the corridor. The boy playing football on the playground ran into the active white spot. In the distance stands a billboard of clothes freshener, on which purple sunlight is reflected.

It really doesn't look like a day to discuss other people's lives and deaths.

Zhou Xixi remembered that she had just heard Zhuo Hang's name and walked slowly through the corridor, making her feel warmer.

About two years ago, I entered high school for only half a month. Zhou Xixi and the girls at the same table slipped out of a lengthy freshman lecture in order to catch a star concert. They ran out of the back door of the studio until they were finally trapped in a dead end. There is a wall in front of you, and there is no other exit. So Zhou Xixi suggested that we go over the wall. The girls in the same trade were inexplicably inspired by her. They didn't think much, nodded and said, ok.

Zhou Xixi knew that it was that day that she first met Zhuo Hang.

In the same school, the chances of meeting each other are always high.

Just two days before Zhou Xixi broke her leg, she went to the computer classroom with her textbook in her arms, and saw a senior from physical education class coming from the playground in twos and threes. With a drink in hand and a coat in hand, it looks steaming.

There is a boy in the crowd, with his trouser legs up, and the lines of a white round neck T-shirt are loosely draped over his body, and his hair is darker because of sweat. Then, as if someone had said something interesting, he cocked his head and smiled.

In a good mood.

Until the boys walked into the building, they were never seen again. Zhou Xixi calmly fists: You are the person I like, sweating so handsome! Hmm! Zhuohang is great!

In fact, I didn't know his name for the first six months.

There's nothing I can do. From the first meeting of freshmen to gradually noticing each other, the mood changes during this period are completely based on many question marks. It took him more than a month to find out his level, even the students in Class Four. As for their names, there is no way to start. The small-scale, secretly sprouting joy in girls' hearts has always been ambiguous among all these uncertainties. Although not in the same class or in the same level, it's a pity to think about it. However, Zhou Xixi is very pleased that casual meeting is enough to make him excited for a while. Sometimes if you are bold, you will find opportunities to go to the third grade. When she passes through Class Four, she can always scan one or two important silhouettes from the sidelights. Boys are listening to headphones, reading books, or chatting with people. Occasionally I can see clearly and even notice his evil eyebrows.

At that time, Zhou Xixi thought it would be nice not to know the name. He is completely transparent in his heart and may not need a container to fix him in a certain shape.

A teenager who can't be called and is liked by himself-black hair, seems to be a bit mean when he smiles, with long hands and feet, and his clothes are open behind his back when he runs.

Attention to him lasted for so long. I don't know the name, and it's not contradictory.

Because her leg injury happened, she couldn't ride a bike, so Zhou Xixi had to take a bus these two days. When I was sitting in my seat, I suddenly envied that my senior would go out with Zhuohang today. Although visiting the parents of deceased classmates should not be an easy or beautiful thing. But Zhou Xixi still can't help but think selfishly, even so, it is very happy to have the opportunity to get along alone.

He is a person who doesn't mind knowing each other. He smiled and said, "Let me help you." .

At that time, Zhou Xixi just entered the second year of high school. One day, when she came home from school, she found that she had lost the pendant that her mother gave her on her birthday. Because I don't know how much this jade is worth, it may be a very precious treasure. Zhou Xixi was uneasy at the table for a long time, and finally decided to go back to school to look for it.

She guessed that she should have dropped it on the playground while doing morning exercises.

The wind is very clear at night.

This is a rough carpet search, but nothing has been gained. When I found near the stands, a voice asked, "What are you doing?"

Seeing that Zhou Xixi raised his head in horror, the boy waved his hand and smiled: "Ah, I am not a bad person, nor a ghost."

He sat in the corner of the stands, and the gesture should be that he just took off his headphones. There is no light source on this side of the playground, and it is dark. If you ignore it, it is really invisible. But what should I say? Zhou Xixi stood up straight and stared at each other for a while in the dim light.

At that time, she didn't know his name.

But I met again. Black hair, seems a little mean when he smiles, and his hands and feet are very long. In the dark, he couldn't see whether Qing was wearing gray or black. Such a person.

The boy continued to ask, "What are you doing?"

"Ah?" Zhou Xixi reflected, "I lost something ..."

"Leave it here?"

"Well, probably ..."

"What is it?"

"A pendant, jade." Unconsciously, I added, "A birthday present from my mother."

The boy who was reminded by this sentence means "family heirloom" quickly said "I'll help you" and jumped out of the stands as soon as his voice fell. Zhou Xixi hurriedly waved.

"It doesn't matter. Nothing important. Lost it, lost it. "

"But," it seems clear, "if it wasn't important, I wouldn't be here at this time. :

Can't refuse.

Just looking for it is still fruitless. Although the moon is round, it is very lacking to take charge of the whole field of vision. Plus the pendant is small. Besides, I'm not sure if I left it here. In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is definitely an "impossible task."

The two men who had called it a day sat down in the stands. The boy originally asked "Do you want me to buy some drinks?" Without waiting for Zhou Xixi's answer, he denied himself that "it will be scary to leave you here alone." The tone is full of fear that she will be timid, which makes Zhou Xixi irrefutable.

They started chatting without saying a word. I said some miscellaneous topics, but I don't remember them now. It may all be irrelevant content. Perhaps speaking of singers with new albums, the weather today may not be so superficial. Finally, Zhou Xixi raised the questions hidden in her heart before. Because she doesn't know why she met here.

"What are you doing here? Enjoy the cool? Enjoy the moon? "

"I skipped the self-study class." The boy raised his finger and pointed to the brightly lit teaching building of Grade Three. "There, it's too stuffy."

"Huh?"

"well. If I had known that I was going to take a self-study class in senior three, I would rather repeat the grade. " As he spoke, he propped up his forehead, revealing a seemingly malicious appearance. "From 6 pm to 8: 30 pm, there is no humanity."

"Yes ..."

Looking down at two pairs of high heels wet with dew. Further down, there is a black lawn.

Smell the plants.

The air is mixed with wind, insects and many trivial sounds of unknown origin. Because of the light, the sound becomes silent and sensitive. So Zhou Xixi soon heard intermittent singing from the headphones put aside by the boys. I don't understand what this is.

The song disappeared into the deep blue silence.

This is really not "What's your name, please?"

Spanning a long period of unknown days.

But because of the cumulative number of meetings, it became a nod. The relationship between people is very interesting. You don't know your name, you don't have a deep understanding, but you can talk peacefully, chat with a smile, and even pat you on the shoulder.

Recalling this, Zhou Xixi was a little sweet on the tram. She carefully moved her unfortunate leg outside and stood for a few times. The carriage was empty, so there was no need to worry about others stepping on it.

She slowly filtered out all the relevant time in her memory. After the first meeting, the second meeting, the third time, the fourth time, the fifth time, perhaps, are all watching from a distance. Although I don't know his name, I know a lot of messy details-for example, this guy likes Pepsi very much and seems to have a lot of white clothes and so on. -Then I don't know how many times he stood on the playground at night and said, "I'll help you." His voice couldn't refuse.

In the long days when I didn't know his identity.

Everything is insensitive. Joy or excitement, shyness or bitterness. Because of this sentence "I don't know", everything was cut off from the acute angle and turned into a plain texture. They are packaged in a certain corner, expand in water and grow in light.

Before he got the name, he was a vague and boundless color in his heart. Invade in the middle like a flood.

The next day, I heard a sacrificial song dedicated to Ye Xu on the radio. So from its nature, it can be regarded as a requiem.

But it is not familiar to Zhou Xixi, because it is a Japanese song. Zhou Xixi is a person who only puts China pop charts in his mind and knows nothing about the note combinations in other parts of the world. But I think that song is very good. It is not the type of bitter wind and rain, and the arrangement can almost be described as high-pitched, but there is still ubiquitous sadness lurking everywhere, and there is pressure in the throat.

After several melodies passed, Zhou Xixi suddenly realized that it seemed to be an intermittent rhythm heard from the boys' headphones earlier that night. A song came down, and she even affirmed it.

In other words, this song is probably from Zhuoxing Hall.

What Japanese songs?

What did you say?

The singer is obviously a young woman, because there is an old and depressing power in her voice, and she doesn't know who she is.

Zhou Xixi pursed her lips in regret. What's wrong with ordering? Why order Japanese songs?

As I said before, I didn't know his name until half a year ago. After all, people who are so attentive will know their names one day. Then, finally, how do you know?

In fact, there are no earth-shattering events, not even painstaking investigations. This is just a natural coincidence. About the end of the first half of the second semester of senior high school, Zhou Xixi found a photo of her senior in her bag at an activity. In the photo, she is standing next to Zhou Xixi's most familiar face.

The boy raised his eyebrows and smiled, but there was still a cold youthful atmosphere between them.

Zhou Xixi, who didn't make any noise at that time, bit her lip as excitedly as a child who was finally close to the truth. In order not to let others discover her purpose, she could give up her questioning at that time and look for a suitable opportunity later.

Wait until a few days later to see senior, Zhou Xixi just picked the most appropriate topic, slowly leads to the core:

"How many times have seniors moved?"

"It seems to be three times."

"Ah, that I am more than a senior. There are also five times. "

"Oh, yes."

"Unfortunately, many good neighbors can't be contacted."

"That's true."

"Oh, yes, there is one thing I want to ask."

"What?"

"The boy standing on your left in the photo taken by the senior last time is surnamed Wang?"

"Huh?"

"Because the last time I saw it, I felt like my former neighbor. Hehe, his surname is Wang. So ... "

"Ah, well, let's have a look. Oh, the one standing on my left. "The girl rolled her eyes and revealed her memory. "Oh, his name is not Wang. His name is Zhuo. "

"... Zhuo? "

"Well, it's called Zhuo Hang." The other party asked with concern, "Is it your neighbor?"

"No, it isn't."

number

The day I knew his name seemed to be over. The long time before became ethereal, and then everything had coordinates that could be located.

Just because I know the name. But between those two Chinese characters, you can easily expand all your impressions of him. They are no longer the light they used to be, and they don't know where to go on the plain. They become flames in the lampshade and have a fixed shape.

When the Ye Xu incident was gradually forgotten, new news came from senior three. He is really innocent. It is said that he was involved on his way back from the post office. The juvenile offenders involved are still at large.

The person who heard this shook his head.
