Lingzi is not too cold today

Chapter 4 4, Displaced Time and Space

On the night of August 29th, there were two days before the school report.

Gongsun Jin lay on the clean quilt, looking at the twilight outside the window, without any sleepiness.

Every time he encounters something on his mind, or an event of greater significance, he will find it difficult to fall asleep.

For example, large-scale exams, such as interviews, or the eve of meeting someone in a different place.

Psychologically speaking, such a situation is a manifestation of poor emotional self-control and low emotional intelligence.

This emotional intelligence does not refer to the art of communicating with people, but to the ability to control one's emotions.

Gongsun Jin also felt that this was indeed the case.

In a strange time and space, do you feel lonely when no one cares about you at night?
Not so.

In his last life, after graduating from university, he took a train for more than ten hours by himself, went to a strange city, and lived alone.

The job is to live in a rented house and code words, go out for a walk when you are tired, and don't socialize with anyone.

Those who hover around him are strangers.

He is not afraid of being alone, just afraid of the unknown.

goo~ goo~
Feeling a little hungry, Gongsun Jin sat up from the bed, put on her coat and went out.

The street lamps downstairs in the community were still lit with dim lights, and the chirping of cicadas in the summer night was a bit noisy.

The weather has been changeable recently, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and there is wind at night.

The draft swept over his skirt and poured into his neckline.

Gongsun Jin lifted his collar and walked slowly on the long street.

The light from the street lamps renders the long street into lemon yellow, as if adding a retro filter.

The asphalt road is slightly wet, reflecting the shimmering light under the light.

The sprinklers passing by along the way played the happy birthday song, and gradually went away.

At the barbecue stand, the aroma of cumin wafts far away. A group of middle-aged people are sitting on the stand drinking, bluffing and swearing from time to time, cursing that life is too short.

They chatted about trifles about daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, and the trivialities of life.

"Father-in-law has a heart attack, and the imported stents cost a lot of money, and he has to take medicine for a long time."

"My son's grades are in a mess, and he said that he will not go to college in the future and will become a game anchor. It really pissed me off!"

"Let's not talk about it, our girl had a puppy love in high school, and her grades dropped seriously, so she finally went to a private undergraduate course. Now the tuition fee is [-] a year, and there is a mortgage. I am really under great pressure."

They talked, and comforted each other from time to time, their hair was already grey.

High school students in school uniforms walked together shoulder to shoulder, bought some skewers, grilled leeks, and rice noodles, and then went into the Internet cafe.

The boy's voice was very loud, accompanied by strange screams of excitement.

"Leader, take me to fight Antuen later!"

"I'm not tired anymore, I'll take you next time."

"The last time Qingtian, how about bringing a soy sauce?"

"Black Rose is flexible in formation, only a support and a jungler! Which of you can borrow two numbers?"

The office workers eating barbecue looked at the young students with some envy, saying that they missed the days when they played World of Warcraft to open up wasteland and fight groups.

Teenagers eat barbecue all the time, so they can only buy two skewers to try.

They don't have so much pocket money, and they envy the wealth and freedom of adults.

Everyone has their own excitement and does not disturb each other.

Looking at these familiar pictures in front of me, or in other words, it was fireworks.

Gongsun Jin regained some truth in this distorted time and space.

He went to a convenience store, searched the shelves for a while, and bought a bucket of instant noodles with braised pork flavor.

"This world also has stewed meat-flavored instant noodles, which is great."

When paying the bill, he hesitated for a while, and took another ham sausage at the front desk.

The cashier is a little girl, not too tall, she looks like she just went to high school.

Wearing a school uniform, writing homework behind the counter, scratching one's head and head over a function problem.

The shop owner beside him was lying on a recliner, snoring with his mouth open.

"Bill, please."

Hearing this, the little girl quickly raised her head, and she was slightly stunned when she saw Gongsun Jin.

A tall, handsome boy.

She had to look up.

The light in the store was faint and pale, shining on his side face and his exposed neckline, as if a layer of pale glaze had been applied.

The cinnabar mole between her eyebrows also surprised her.

However, although this boy is handsome, his temperament is too cold.

His droopy eyelids made him look lazy and lazy.

His eyes were so indifferent that he almost wrote the words "don't get close to strangers" written on his face.

The little girl stared at his face for a long time, then moved her gaze down to his neckline.

He should have been in a hurry when he went out, his clothes were draped casually, and the buttons on his neckline were also misplaced.

"Bill, please."

Seeing that she didn't respond, Gongsun Jin looked sideways and frowned slightly.

"Oh well!"

The little girl was startled, and felt that Gongsun Jin's eyes were fierce, so she quickly recovered, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her ears began to heat up.

She just stared at his collarbone, and couldn't help but look at it for a long time, always feeling that there was an inexplicable attraction there.

"Five dollars in total!"

Gongsun Jin took out her mobile phone to scan the QR code to pay the bill, looked at the remaining 30 yuan in the bank card, hesitated for a while, gritted her teeth, and went to get another can of iced Coke.

The coke was raspberry and tasted like bubble gum.

"Three dollars!"

Gongsun Jin took the instant noodles and Coke calmly, and casually glanced at her exercise book on the counter.

When he went out, he said without looking back, "The intersection point of the inverse proportional function and the hyperbola is in the first quadrant, so take the derivative first."

"Um?"

The little girl looked slightly startled, looked at the exercise book, and suddenly realized.

"thanks!"

When she came back to her senses, Gongsun Jin had already walked away.

On the way home, Gongsun Jin sniffed the cumin smell of the barbecue, then looked down at the instant noodles in his hand.

"Let's settle down first, earn money after a while, and then go to barbecue."

After walking two steps, he looked at the Internet cafes frequented by the students.

"This world also has LOL and DNF. It's great. I really want to fight Antuen again."

Not just those students, Antoine and LOL were also his youth.

He remembered that when he was in high school, it was very hot in summer. There was no air-conditioning in the old dormitory, and the wind from the electric fan was hot, and he was sweating all over in bed.

So he and his roommates often went to Internet cafes and spent ten yuan to stay a night.

Internet cafes are air-conditioned, as well as Summoner’s Canyon and Arad Continent.

The roommates are full of energy after fighting hard all night, but he has to curl up on the sofa to sleep after playing two games.

Because the roommates all regard junior college as their goal, they can sit in the back row of the classroom during class during the day and sleep on the table with peace of mind, but he can't.

In the teacher's eyes, he is still a good student with good grades, someone who can be admitted to university, and he is different from those mud who can't support the wall.

However, although the slime can't support the wall, they are also quite cute.

When he had an appendicitis attack at night, it was the mud who carried him to the hospital.

At dawn, Mud's roommates would wake him up and walk together.

Then, the group of people will go to the snack bar outside to buy a bowl of hot dry noodles and a cup of soy milk with the marks strangled by the earphones and messy greasy hair.

If you have spare money, you will also add two beef balls.

Then, everyone crossed the road together at a huge intersection.

The road was very wide. At that time, he often wondered whether he would walk halfway, the traffic light changed color, and then he was hit to death by a dump truck driving over, and he would join the army of reborn.

But there are mud guards on the left and right, so he feels quite safe.

On the day of graduating from the college entrance examination, everyone will walk through that huge crossroad together.

The traffic roared in all directions, drowning out the boy's voice, and finally he was left alone.

This is the youth he experienced in another time and space.

"Today there is wine and today is drunk, and tomorrow's worries come tomorrow's worries."

Gongsun Jin pulled the ring of Coke.

boom!
Bubbles gurgled, as if a sky full of stars were about to emerge from it.

"Guru~"

Gongsun Jin raised his head and downed half a can of Coke in one gulp, his Adam's apple rolling rapidly.

When the refrigerated soda was poured into the throat, the cold breath rushed straight to the sky, causing a slight pain in the temple.

"Ah... Isn't it good to be alive?"

"Why would you do something stupid?"

Gongsun Jin looked at her face in the mirror, and wiped the corners of her mouth lightly, feeling quite refreshed.

This body is only 17 years old now, and life is still very long.

After boiling the water and soaking the noodles, Gongsun Jin drank coke and waited for the instant noodles to be soaked, while continuing to learn about the original owner's life experience through the information on the phone.

Lingling~
The phone rang suddenly, and Gongsun Jin subconsciously wanted to answer it, but looked at the "aunt" on the caller ID and felt a little uneasy.

"Do you want to pick it up?"
