The Night Awaker Chapter 7

Owl, pronounced the same as "Xiao", there is only one word in the dictionary "Owl", a bird with a large head, short and curved beak, there are many types, and the owl is one of them.

After checking the online dictionary, the true identity of those "coo-coo" sounds at midnight emerged.

That is the hoot of an owl, and it is also the reminder to start the "Magic Hour".

The night is passing, the east is getting brighter, and life will always return to normal.

Ellis Sun is an instructor at a driving school. There are still students in class today and he was the first to get up and say goodbye. Avery Kuang is a senior this year, majoring in tea science. His family is in the southwest and his university is in Jiangnan. He chose a teahouse in Beijing for his internship. According to his He said that the teahouse owner took good care of him and it was no problem to take another day off. But in fact, they had nothing to do except wait for the night. So under the persuasion of Finn Wu and Grayson Xu, Kuang returned to the internship obediently. post.

After sending these two people away, Grayson Xu naturally turned his attention to Finn Wu and tactfully conveyed the "expulsion order." From his heart, of course he wanted to spend more time with Finn Wu, but rationally, he clearly understood This kind of relationship is useless, so don't trick others and yourself.

Finn Wu received the look, but had no intention of executing it. Instead, he stood up as if he was eager to "deepen the feeling of reunion": "Won't you show me around?"

Without the outsiders, Grayson Xu was no longer polite and slapped him to death: "It's not a museum, it's just a visit." Moreover, they share one room and one living room, with a clear view of the living room, and the only remaining ones are the bedrooms. Any visit to the bedroom that is not for the purpose of having S3x is a hooligan!

"Why are you having such a big reaction? Or..." Finn Wu raised his eyebrows maliciously, and the more he refused to look, the more his eyes drifted towards the bedroom, "Is there really something shameful inside?"

Grayson Xu was speechless for a moment, staring at him with itching teeth for a long time, and then managed to say: "Why are you still so annoying after ten years?"

Finn Wu glanced at him. It was still the same formula as before, and he still had the same dislike: "It sounds like you have made great progress."

The two of them are Mr. Wang and Mr. Yu. There is only one difference between the two, and they are well versed in each other's dark history. Therefore, when fighting each other, no one can hope to win an overwhelming victory. If one of them fails, it is easy to hurt the enemy by a thousand and himself or herself by eight hundred. .

After realizing this by coincidence, the two of them stopped and entered the short spring.

However, after just a few words of chatting about the current situation, Finn Wu began to question his old classmate's career statement: "Real estate consultant?"

Grayson Xu stiffened his neck stubbornly: "Is there a problem?"

Finn Wu leaned into the sofa, crossed his legs, held a water glass and smiled politely: "I'm selling a house."

Grayson Xu narrowed his eyes: "Then what industry are you engaged in as an old man who returned to China to start a business?"

Finn Wu drank water slowly: "Software development."

Grayson Xu nodded: "I'm just a coder."

Finn Wu had a mouthful of water stuck in his throat.

Grayson Xu also crossed his legs, his little feet shaking happily.

It's strange to say that they haven't seen each other for ten years, but when they talk to each other, it feels like they are back in high school again. Grayson Xu thought that maybe Jing Gu was running around fighting bears when he was supposed to be strangers, so he missed all the opportunities to greet and be polite, and directly entered a new chapter of "we are still good classmates".

At three o'clock in the morning, Grayson Xu looked at his mobile phone. If he didn't catch the subway, he would really be absent from work. He simply stopped beating around the bush and stood up to see off the guests: "Okay, you should go back to where you are, I have to go to work too." "

Finn Wu looked at him in astonishment, as if this behavior was very incomprehensible: "Ellis Sun works because he has a wife and children to support, while Xiao Kuang works for an internship unit, which is related to appraisal reviews. Firstly, you don't have to support a family, and secondly, you don't have to graduate. Such a big thing happened. Why don't you just sit down and plan a countermeasure, and still go to work? "

As soon as Grayson Xu heard this tone of voice that meant he could stand and speak without pain, he wanted to slap someone with his shoe sole: "I don't have to support a family, but a single dog can't live on the northwest wind. You won't die if you pop out of an owl, but if I were to die today, If you don't go to work, people will really die."

When I asked for leave yesterday, my boss was completely unwilling to do so. If I ask for leave today, it will be unless he plans to pack up and leave.

"Forget it, it doesn't make sense to you rich people." Grayson Xu waved his hand and quickly ended the topic. If he continued talking, he felt like he was being screwed.

Finn Wu frowned, showing innocence and grievance: "How did I become a rich man..."

Grayson Xu rolled his eyes, got up and went to the bedroom to change clothes, unwilling to talk to him anymore.

At the class reunion two years ago, he had heard from a classmate who had returned from an expat in the United States that Finn Wu was thriving in Silicon Valley and made his first pot of gold not long after graduating from college. According to this development trend, In just a few minutes, he will be able to match Zuckerberg’s posture.

Although the classmate's description was extremely exaggerated, the envy in his eyes could not be deceived. Envy showed that he truly believed that Finn Wu was doing much better than him. And this classmate who has been stationed abroad all year round is already considered a very successful among their high school classmates. He is less than thirty and already has an annual salary.

Grayson Xu, who came out of the bedroom in a suit and ties, found that Finn Wu was still sitting on the sofa, with no intention of moving. Even his legs were as curved as before. He was completely convinced: "What on earth are you thinking? Do you really intend to stay here?" "

Finn Wu was stunned when she saw his brand-new outfit. He stared at it blankly for a long time, with an indescribable light shining in his eyes.

Grayson Xu felt uncomfortable being looked at and deliberately shouted in a rough voice: "Hey---"

Finn Wu blinked and finally came to his senses. He quickly lowered his head to get the water glass: "Ah, um, I said hello to my partner and I won't be going to the company today."

Grayson Xu frowned at first because he didn't understand why he reached out to take an empty cup, but then his frown deepened because of what he said: "You mean you want to stay here for a day?!"

Finn Wu raised his head and drank water for a long time, only to realize that there was no water in the cup. He pretended to put it down naturally, and then slowly raised his head, with a look of righteousness on his face: "Your life is important, so I have to sacrifice it. There must be someone." Go figure out what to do with the owl."

"You can think about it somewhere else."

"I have no place to live in Beijing."

"fart!"

"No Sh!t."

...

During the three years of high school, Grayson Xu's winning rate against Finn Wu has been stable at 50%. Now that everyone is an adult, after ten years of different situations, Grayson Xu sadly found that his winning rate seemed to have dropped.

"Don't go through my things," Grayson Xu stood outside the door and gave a death order to Finn Wu who was seeing him off in the entrance hall. "If I find out..." He narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Break off the relationship." "

Finn Wu nodded, with unprecedented sincerity and solemnity.

Great, there are definitely secrets in the bedroom.

The security door clicked shut tightly.

Grayson Xu sighed, hating himself, and waited for the elevator with his head hanging down.

Finn Wu rubbed his chin and looked at the tightly sealed bedroom door, thinking of countless hidden things.

Inside and outside one door, there are thousands of thoughts.

When Grayson Xu squeezed into the subway, Finn Wu, who had been struggling in front of the bedroom door for almost half an hour, received a call from his partner. The program he was developing encountered a technical problem that several engineers could not solve, so he had to call him. This R&D director and half-BOSS takes action.

Finn Wu sighed into the phone, and the joy he had just accumulated was disturbed: "You are also the boss, can't you solve such a small problem by yourself?"

The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became louder: "Small problem? If I could solve this small problem, I wouldn't invest the same money as you but only occupy three shares, and give you seven."

Finn Wu was speechless.

As the wise saying goes, the greater the shareholding, the greater the responsibility.

"Ask Xiao Mu to send my notebook over. I'll send you the address later."

"Can't you just go back to the company? What's so important that you can't just leave?"

"No key."

"ah?"

"I don't have a key, so I can't leave. If I leave, I can't get back in."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long time, Finn Wu heard his partner ask: "Aren't you doing something illegal..."

The notebook was delivered quickly, but the so-called "minor problem" was not easy to solve. By the time it was completely solved, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Finn Wu sent the data back to the company. He had long forgotten what happened in the bedroom. He glanced at the time and opened the external network without stopping...

Grayson Xu had been restless all day, always afraid that the things in the bedroom would be exposed, so he had to comfort himself over and over again, it was okay, he had already said that they would break off the relationship after looking through the things, but Finn Wu did not dare.

I don't know if I was thinking too much, and I slept so deeply during my lunch break that I even had a vague dream. In the dream, Finn Wu stood in the middle of his bedroom, holding up a box-shaped trophy, like a Marvel villain holding up the Rubik's Cube.

Perhaps it was due to extreme unlucky days and bottoming out that one of the clients I had cultivated in the early stages actually came over to sign a contract in the afternoon. Originally, the person who received him today was not Grayson Xu, but the customer specified that Grayson Xu, who patiently introduced various floors and apartment types to him a few days ago, also realistically looked forward to the future development of the surrounding area, and the largest apartment in the building was obtained with the first sign. .

If this set is sold, the commission alone will be more than 20,000 yuan, and the amount will be recorded in the total performance, which is directly linked to the performance calculation and year-end bonus at the end of the year.

Riding on the spring breeze of this order, Grayson Xu swept away the fatigue and worries before, and left work in high spirits. He was particularly high-spirited when squeezing the subway.

When he arrived at the door of his house, Grayson Xu couldn't explain what was going on in his mind. He was careful from getting the key to opening the door. Those who didn't know it thought it was someone else's house and he was a thief.

Opening the door and entering the entrance hall, it was quiet. If it weren't for the dim light from the neon lights outside the window, he almost didn't see Finn Wu on the sofa.

The man was sitting on the sofa, sleeping soundly with his head tilted. There was a notebook that Grayson Xu had never seen before on the coffee table. The screen was flashing with a cold light. I don’t know if it was because Finn Wu had just fallen asleep not long ago, or if the computer itself had stopped. It goes into hibernation, so even if there is no operation, the screen is still bright.

Tiptoeing to the sofa, Grayson Xu bent down slightly and took a serious look at this guy for the first time since they met again.

The eyes, nose, and mouth are really almost unchanged, and the smile is still as attractive as before. Romantic appearance, this was Grayson Xu's definition of Finn Wu's appearance in high school without permission, even though the latter had never been in love during the entire three years of high school.

Breath, following Grayson Xu's peek, fell on Finn Wu's eyelashes. I don't know if it's true or an illusion, but the eyelashes suddenly trembled. Grayson Xu felt guilty and quickly straightened up and pretended to look away.

With this appearance, the screen of the laptop was scanned.

With a screen full of English, Grayson Xu gnawed from top to bottom for a long time, and finally picked out the two most frequently appearing words---MULTIVERSE, PARALLELUNIVERSES.

Grayson Xu recognized the word "universe" and simply took out his mobile phone to search for an online translation. It turned out that the first word was "multiverse" and the second phrase was "parallel universe".

Grayson Xu didn't do any research on these profound issues, but after watching too many science fiction movies, and combined with his experiences in the past two days, he roughly understood what Finn Wu was investigating.

He is really researching, not just talking about it.

When encountering difficulties, you must fight hard. There is absolutely no word "walk around" in the dictionary---Finn Wu had this temper ten years ago.

After Grayson Xu quietly returned to the bedroom, the first thing he did after closing the door was not to turn on the light and change clothes, but to turn on the light and look in the closet. It wasn't until he confirmed that a box placed in the deepest corner of the closet had not been moved that he patted his chest with peace of mind and exhaled slowly.

"What are you looking for after rummaging through the boxes and cabinets?" came the question from the door, his tone rising slightly.

Grayson Xu's scalp went numb, and he immediately slammed the closet door, raised his head to meet Finn Wu's probing gaze, and tried his best to exude a sacrosanct righteousness from head to toe: "I'm looking for clothes to change, you're in charge." What! Also, this is my home, can you knock on the door before you come in?"

Finn Wu folded his hands and leaned against the door frame, looking at him leisurely: "I knocked, but you might have been too sneaky to hear."
