Chapter 24 Chapter Twenty-Four

When he called Zhou Yuting, before he could speak, Zhou Yuting shouted excitedly: "Brother! The first anniversary of Dahongfa Supermarket, all products are 30% off! Hurry up, there is only one hour, Feng Tai and I also Here it is!" Zhou Yulou politely wished her sister a happy shopping, and then hung up the phone. It was destined to be a lonely night.The dinner that day was eaten by Zhou Yulou alone. To be precise, he spent the dinner time alone in the bar downstairs.He ordered a dozen 355ml Cordon Bleu, and when he got up from his chair an hour and a half later, there were only two bottles left.He staggered to the door, and the moment he pushed open the bar door, a gust of cold wind blew towards him like a dark hint.At this moment, his cell phone rang, and he looked at Director Liu of the Student Affairs Office.

Director Liu is reviewing the school's enrollment brochure, which is one of her supervisor's tasks.Every year on the eve of the additional art test for the college entrance examination, art colleges will distribute such brochures to attract students.In Xinyin, the brochures have always been provided by each department separately, and finally approved by the student office.In the materials of the Vocal Music Department, Zhou Yulou focused on the just-concluded China Chorus Festival.In this chorus festival, the chorus of the Vocal Music Department of Xinjiang Conservatory of Music won the gold medal in the professional group in one fell swoop, which caused a great shock in the industry.This achievement naturally pleased Zhou Yulou, so, in addition to introducing the award situation in the materials, he also specially attached a group photo of the choir.And what Director Liu wanted to talk about when he called was this group photo.

Fang Lili is in the group photo. "Teacher Zhou, look, can your department process this photo, replace Fang Lili with someone else, or delete it altogether. This kind of technology is very developed now." Zhou Yulou was very surprised! "why?" "Why? Do I need to say that? What happened to her will greatly affect the reputation of our school. What will others say when they see this photo? Look, this is the girl who committed suicide by prostitution in the Conservatory of Music. Director Zhou, the grades you have achieved are certainly very good, but grades and mistakes are two different things."

"It's because it's two things that I have to keep it. Fang Lili made a mistake, but that doesn't mean she's been wrong all her life." The word "life" made him tremble.He went on to say: "She and everyone have made concerted efforts to achieve results. Isn't that good? She should have a place in this photo, why should she be erased? Director Liu, don't you think your suggestion is ridiculous? " "Director Zhou, let me correct you. This is not a suggestion, but a decision made by the student office. I have to consider the issue from the perspective of the image of the whole school. If the Vocal Music Department can't modify this photo, then I don't want to see this photo. up."

"Okay, then don't go on." Zhou Yulou hung up the phone immediately, feeling a cloud of hot air churning in the lung duct.On the deserted path, he yelled twice to the sky.When he got home, he slammed the door shut, sat down on the sofa in the study, and stared at the opposite wall.The group photo was hung there, 30 inches long, neat and neat, every face was clearly visible.Fang Lili was standing on the edge of the first row, smiling so brightly and looking radiant, even though she was very thin at the time. In fact, Fang Lili almost never had the chance to take this picture.The rehearsals before the chorus festival were extremely difficult. Before departure, Lily started to have a fever. Everyone advised her not to go, but she refused to listen and insisted on boarding the train.The competition was held in an extremely hot southern city, and she started to suffer from heat stroke as soon as she arrived there, vomiting and diarrhea.She didn't eat for two days, only drank some salt water, and after emptying her stomach, she worked hard to restore her voice and finally entered the competition.Zhou Yulou thought, that might be the greatest honor in her life, and she deserved that honor, and it was even more different because she had no chance to surpass it.But now someone wants to pick her out of this honor, and she has no chance to fight for herself...

Zhou Yulou was furious! ! Couldn't the grief of the dead be exchanged for the compassion of the living? ! Dead.living people.people.people…… Zhou Yulou stood up "teng"!He suddenly wanted to curse people, curse all living people, curse loudly!At this moment, he walked over and turned on the computer. His hands trembled when he entered the QQ password... He was too familiar with that place, even though he had been away for a long time.Now he finally knows how much he loves it there!He wondered if he would go crazy without it.When the little penguin jumped out, he felt like the past time came back!When did you say goodbye to Xia Churong?It may not have been long, or it may have been a long time.Damn it... fuck it!

Scold it!scold everyone. You are not Zhou Yulou here, so you don't have to follow the rules and be cautious, and you don't have to swallow your anger and look forward and backward.You can be anyone, or nobody, or a madman, a beast, or a devil!Even though you are unscrupulous and hysterical, even though you are full of blood and blood... Don't you want everyone to hear your scolding?Come, cry out your most vicious curses and most ferocious slanders.As long as you are happy! Everyone can be scolded here, because everyone is not himself; everyone can be scolded here, because everyone doesn't care who you are!

Not long after entering QQ, Zhou Yulou raised his eyes and saw the icon in the upper right corner of the screen - the icon of QQ mailbox.That sign shows that Nightfall has an unread email. mail?Zhou Yulou clicked in.It was Hai Rou, who posted it the day before yesterday, with the title "Where are you?".He opened it and saw the following: Yeluomenkong, hello, I'm Hairou.I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you busy?I don't know why you left without saying goodbye, I miss you so much.I really miss the days of chatting with you. Is there any chance for us to get in touch again?If it is convenient, please make a call. I really want to become good friends with you in life.Want to meet and chat?

I hope you can read this letter and hope to hear back.Well, looking forward to calling, looking forward to seeing you. hair soft Beside "Hairou", is Bai Xiaoxi's mobile phone number. In the past, in order to prevent future troubles, Bai Xiaoxi and Zhao Duo never left a phone call when they were baiting prey, and they always agreed on the time and place to meet while chatting. But this time, they really paid for it. On the day of the all-teacher meeting, it had been cloudy since the morning, and it finally started raining at noon.It's not big, it's drizzling, and it stops for a while, like crying intermittently.

Xie Lan summarized the recent situation at the meeting and arranged the work for the next stage.The 50th Anniversary Anniversary is coming soon, Xie Lan asked all departments to hurry up and prepare for the program, and participate in the school celebration performance with the highest level.Then, the professor talked for two minutes about what he declared, and it took half an hour for Fang Lili to summarize the incident.Finally, Xie Lan announced the school's latest appointment - Feng Tai was promoted to the head of the vocal music department. Originally, the head of the department was to be selected through competition between Zhou Yulou and Feng Tai. They should read out their respective election reports at the meeting, and after everyone voted, the head of the department would make the final decision.But unfortunately, the Fang Lili incident dragged Zhou Yulou into the water.When the incident happened, Zhou Yulou was the acting director of the Vocal Music Department and the person in charge of the department. In principle, he should be responsible for leadership.An important leader of the Education Committee has just issued an instruction. Considering the serious consequences of this matter, this person is not suitable for an important leadership position for the time being.As a result, Zhou Yulou lost his candidacy for the election, Feng Tai lost his competition, the report was no longer required to be read, and everyone did not need to vote. The head of the department was appointed directly by the school.Regarding this matter, Xie Lan and the secretary of the party committee of the academy had already talked to Zhou Yulou respectively yesterday afternoon, and Zhou Yulou accepted it.

When the meeting ended, it was past 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and all the teachers went home. Only Zhou Yulou and Feng Tai returned to the office, and they had to complete a simple work handover.The office was very dark, Zhou Yulou turned on the lights, the rainstorm was approaching, a gust of wind suddenly rose outside the window, the sound of the wind and the bright lights together rendered the dullness of the room.Zhou Yulou was quite normal, but Feng Tai was a little cautious and cautious.It seems that after experiencing the gloomy struggle, it is impossible to enter the state of harvesting this sudden result for a while. During the entire handover process, Zhou Yulou was basically talking, and Feng Tai listened, occasionally interjecting "know" and "okay"... After a while, Feng Tai's cell phone rang.He looked at it, smiled and said it was Yuting, then walked out of the office to answer the phone.When he came back, he said: "Director Zhou, I'm sorry, I have something to do temporarily, let's stop here today, I know the basic situation, and I will ask you for advice if there is anything I don't understand." After finishing speaking, Feng Tai walked out office. Zhou Yulou lit a cigarette, and there was a thunderstorm outside the window.He blew smoke rings at the window, and on the other side of the window pea-sized raindrops fell. rainstorm. Zhou Yulou turned off the lights, and the rain curtain outside the window suddenly became clear.It is not appropriate to use, sprinkle, or use up that kind of rain. To be precise, it is rained down, like revenge full of anger.Zhou Yulou didn't know how he was feeling now, lost?frustrated?relieved?Wronged?Unwilling?calm?At a loss?Frustration... It seems to be neither, and it seems to be both.Like a white light, it looks empty, but in fact it is all-encompassing. Zhou Yulou stood in front of the window, smoking one cigarette after another in silence, facing the torrential sky.Lightning kept piercing the sky, and he could always see some faces flashing in the dazzling lightning: Xia Churong, Tang Kai, Fang Lili...their faces were huge and desolate, and the raindrops all over the sky turned into tears, on their cheeks Flying and rolling.Sometimes Jiang Dan's slap would come wrapped in white light...or Fang Lili's mother, her angry fist dancing wildly in the electric light...Huang Dasheng also came. "Zhou Yulou!" Huang Dasheng rushed towards him, "Did you kill or not?" The old friend's veins burst out, his eyebrows glaring... Even Du Yan appeared once. Picking up Zhou Haining's small body, he fell ferociously to the ground... Finally, the rain was a little lighter, and the lightning and thunder were also weaker. Zhou Yulou sat down.As he rubbed his temples, he found his hands were cold.He crushed the last cigarette butt in the ashtray, and suddenly felt that this action was very symbolic, as if crushing all hopes by the way. He didn't know what was wrong with his life, in short, it was all wrong.It's like a series of games, one wrong link will determine all the mistakes in the future, so Zhou Yulou's life is so miserable-he has no wife now, and a loud slap is his last memory of his wife; He has no friends now, and his friends are furious because of an unintentional mistake of his; he has no relatives now, and his only sister is immersed in absurd love; All of a sudden, Zhou Yulou felt that his surroundings looked like a grotesque stage, and he was a clown who was left out on the stage, hiding behind the large curtain. On this night of torrential rain, loneliness is like old sand deposited on the ferry, no matter how surging the torrent can wash it away. Lonely. The loneliness in the dark night is like the night itself wrapped around Zhou Yulou, leaving him nowhere to escape. At this moment, a series of numbers appeared in his mind. Hairou's phone call. Four nights ago, Zhou Yulou didn't take it seriously when he received that email.But at this moment, what surprised him was that after only one glance, those numbers were printed in his memory so clearly after four days. When he took out his mobile phone, Zhou Yulou smiled, and the smile lines were like withered grass in a lonely garden fluttering on his face. Hehe, he thought, maybe it shouldn't be like this, Xia Churong's turmoil has just calmed down, Yin Jian is not far away... But, will there be a second Xia Churong in the world?So what if there is?Anyway, Zhou Yulou's life path is already full of dust, so why care about adding another layer? When Zhou Yulou dialed the number of "Hairou", Bai Xiaoxi was coming out of the physical classroom diagonally opposite the office of the Vocal Music Department.The heavy rain delayed her going home, so she practiced for a while longer in the physical classroom for tomorrow's performance class sketch.Seeing that the rain had subsided, she planned to leave immediately.At this moment, her phone rang. She didn't know that number, was it a stranger?Bai Xiaoxi thought about answering the phone. "Hello? Who is it?" "Is it Hai Rou? I'm Ye Luo Meng Kong." This shock was no small matter, Bai Xiaoxi almost cried out!
