58 Chapter 57

On a dark night, the crescent moon hung high.

The bright and soft moonlight shines through the layers of trees, casting mottled shadows on the ground. A layer of hazy fog spreads around the courtyard, making the county school look unusually deserted at night.

In the dead of night, there was a dormitory in the Class A compound that was still brightly lit, as if someone was planning to stay up late and read at night.

Scenes like this are very common in county schools, so no one found it strange, even though the lights did not go out for a long time.

The oil lamp in the room flickered occasionally, but the person sitting in front of the wooden table was not affected at all and remained motionless.

The long and thick eyelashes drooped slightly, casting a shadow under his eyes. Wei Cheyu seemed to be reading the book intently, but the book open in front of him had not been turned for a long time.

This state has lasted for many nights. Every time he stayed at the county school for a break, Wei Cheyu would let himself focus on the books, but his mind was out of control and kept at home...

People have come out, but their hearts are still at home.

Even after ten days, Wei Cheyu felt that he still had not gotten rid of the influence of habits, whether it was during class, when eating, or when he was alone...

When encountering something, he would always turn his head involuntarily to look to the side to signal the other person, but every time, he would not realize that no one was there until he saw that there was nothing around him.

"Brother Wei?"

A soft shout from outside the door made Wei Cheyu gradually come back to his senses. He realized that he was absent-minded again, and his eyes couldn't help but darken, so dark that they were bottomless...

"Brother Wei? Are you asleep?"

Wei Cheyu suddenly woke up, quickly adjusted his face, and replied in a normal voice: "Not yet, are you okay?"

He stood up and opened the door. The person standing outside the door was his classmate and a student in Class A.

"I went out to see Brother Wei at night. Your room was always lit. I was afraid that you forgot to put out the oil lamp when you went to bed, so I shouted outside the door." The classmate looked suspicious and said in confusion, "It's already been the fourth watch, and there are still two more." It will be dawn in an hour, Brother Wei, are you planning to stay up all night studying before you go to bed?"

I don’t blame my classmates for being confused. It’s not the eve of the provincial examination, so I don’t need to hurry up and stay up all night to study.

This is why when he saw that Wei Cheyu's apartment was always lit, he thought that Wei Cheyu went to bed without extinguishing the oil lamp, and then to prevent water from leaking, he shouted outside the door.

Wei Cheyu was startled, it turned out that it was already so late...

"No, I lost track of time while reading. Go to bed now," Wei Cheyu replied softly, with a smile as gentle as jade on his face, as if he had returned to his previous state.
