After hanging up the phone.
Zhou Qi paused, put down his phone, and walked forward silently along the road.
There is constant traffic on the wide road.
From time to time there are people coming and going, or electric cars passing by.
Under the gloomy sky, a cool breeze blew, making the leaves rustle.
Zhou Qi glanced at the goosebumps on his arms and had no reaction.
Wow.
Not far away, several shared bicycles parked crookedly were blown over.
There was a young man scanning the code on the side without even looking at it. He just rode on the unlocked car.
But he seemed to hesitate for a moment, and two seconds later, he got out of the car again and helped up the fallen shared bicycles.
"..."
Zhou Qi crossed the other side without any hesitation and did not reach out to help him.
At this moment, there was an indescribable meaning in his heart.
It only came after two phone calls.
Speaking of which,
Among their family of four, he is the only one who survives the end of the world, while the other three always die soon...
And they have the same problem as Li Qing.
Too easy to be emotional.
Not to mention the emotional mother and sister, let’s talk about Zhou’s father who looks calm and calm. Even he is very emotional. He is infected by particles every time and soon turns into a monster...
Therefore, Zhou Qi has no feelings for them after so many apocalypses.
Um,
It cannot be said that there is no emotion, it should be said that there is no "expectation".
If you don’t inject expectations, you won’t be afraid of disappointment.
And now, he is trying to dig out the hidden expectation.
Although, he didn't even know where he was buried...
"Buzz——"
Just then, the phone rang.
Zhou Qi took a look and commented that Xiner was cute.
It's his sister.
He chose to connect.
Before the phone was put to my ear, I heard an angry voice: "Asshole Zhou Qi! Why didn't you call me! Why didn't you reply to my message! I heard from my mother that you called her, and she immediately talked to the teacher I told you to answer your call, but after waiting for a long time, you didn't even call me! You are going too far, treating your sister like this, ah, I know...love has disappeared, right? Wow, you have changed brother... …You don’t love me anymore…”
Zhou Qi grinned unconsciously as he listened to the sweet and cute voice on the other end of the phone and the cute content.
"Love."
"Uh, ah, ah?" Zhou Xin was still acting in high spirits, but got stuck when the word "Zhou Qi" said.
Zhou Qi said in a serious tone: "I said, you are my sister, of course I still love you."
"Hmph, hum..." Zhou Xin hummed twice, "You know what's going on..."
"The college entrance examination is about to begin." Zhou Qi asked casually after giving way to an electric car that honked its horn.
"Uh, why did you suddenly talk about such a serious topic?" Zhou Xin's tone suddenly weakened, but she still responded coyly: "There's still one week left."
"Okay, come on." Zhou Qi encouraged.
"Huh? That's it?" Zhou Xin's tone became dissatisfied again, and she started to yell, "It's too perfunctory", "Can you chat?", "My brother is a straight man" and so on …
But as she spoke, she started laughing without realizing it. Finally, she couldn't help but asked curiously: "Brother, have you really made a contribution to the country?"
"Um."
"What's going on? Can you talk to me about it?"
"We'll talk about it when I get back."
"Zhou Qi!" The other end of the phone was unhappy again.
Zhou Qi was confused: "What's wrong?"
"...Hey, you're so mad at me!" Zhou Xin sounded very angry, "You're so annoying...you're so stupid!"
"Where's the stupidity?"
"You're just stupid! You... you say! Sister Li Qing obviously likes you, but have you forgotten that she said she would not fall in love before graduating from college? You still insist on confessing your love to her, and blame others for rejecting you! You are so stupid Got it!"
"That's it."
"Humph, you still have to rely on me. Your smart and lovely sister helped you settle those things, and also helped you teach that Lin Rui a lesson... Why don't you thank me quickly?"
"..." Zhou Qi stopped and said, "Teach me a lesson?"
"He, he... uh," Zhou Xin realized that she had spilled the beans, so she could only say with a guilty conscience: "He wanted to harass Sister Li Qing again, and he also scolded me, and I beat him up..."
"Are you okay? Have you told your parents?"
"No...I didn't dare to say...but, but, I was settled by Sister Li Qing. Speaking of which, I didn't know that Sister Li Qing turned out to be so powerful! She said very harsh words to Lin Rui's parents, but they were actually respectful to Sister Li Qing... …”
At this point, Zhou Xin's tone suddenly pretended to be mature: "Brother, sister has paved the road for you. You must catch up with Sister Li Qing. In this case, we brothers and sisters will enjoy happiness in the future..."
"..." Zhou Qi said nothing and just kept walking.
A lot of things seemed to have happened during the day I stayed at the Public Security Bureau.
On the phone, Zhou Xin kept talking.
He talked about how anxious his family was yesterday because of Zhou Qi's incident, and then talked about what happened after arriving at Zhonghai University, and how great Professor Su was, and what happened today after returning home...
But after talking for a long time, I finally realized that something seemed wrong, so I asked, "Brother, are you listening?"
"Yes, I'm listening." Zhou Qi responded, but suddenly he exhaled deeply: "Xin'er, I miss you."
"Ah?" The other end of the phone suddenly got stuck again.
Maybe it was because Zhou Qi's tone was very serious this time.
The atmosphere suddenly became a lot heavier.
After a long time,
Zhou Xincai asked cautiously: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Qi responded calmly: "It's nothing. Okay, that's it. I'll go back before your college entrance examination. Let's talk about it if we meet up."
"..." The other end of the phone didn't reply immediately, just a low voice.
At this time, Zhou Qi heard someone calling Zhou Xin on the other end of the phone.
It seems to be her classmate.
Then, Zhou Xin responded, "Here we come!"
Zhou Qi heard that her voice was trembling...
Then, she hurriedly said: "Brother, I died. The teacher asked me to go back."
"……good."
The phone hangs up.
Zhou Qi glanced at the screen casually,
During this time, the phone has received some new information.
But he didn't click in. Instead, he put the phone away silently and continued walking forward.
…
This walk lasted more than two hours.
Zhou Qi unknowingly crossed nearly ten kilometers from the West District Public Security Bureau to Mingyan Lake, a marked landmark in the north of central Zhonghai.
And stepped onto the bridge where people come and go.
When he reached the middle of the bridge, he stopped.
From time to time, the wind blows and the leaves rustle.
There is noisy traffic near and far.
He leaned against the guardrail and stared at the surging water, lost in thought.
In fact, the reason why he wanted to "be alone for a while" was to look around and make a final confirmation as to whether the end of the world had come.
But after watching it for so long, he suddenly felt that it was meaningless.
The key point of everything lies in the time when the end comes. Before that time comes, he can verify it in thousands of ways and go crazy unscrupulously, because everything he does has a strong reason.
But now, that time has passed and the end has not come.
He has no reason anymore.
"Don't think about it. Maybe the person who created the doomsday game happened to fix this bug..."
Zhou Qi held his chin and muttered.
At this time, he suddenly felt his own insignificance in ordinary society.
The whole world is right in front of him, and no matter how he looks at it, nothing is out of the ordinary.
Everything he felt was normal, and his heart felt very peaceful and peaceful.
But there was just something wrong with him.
If it weren't for the memories still fresh in his mind, and the fact that the "anchor" for dealing with various environments didn't react abnormally, he would have suspected that he had fallen into some kind of fantasy area he had never seen before.
But……
But he didn't know what to do.
Although Director Liu and other officials have emphasized that the end may not really come, it may take another form, etc.
He also provided an additional set of policies to change the quality of the nation as a precaution.
Everyone said it must be taken seriously.
However, Zhou Qi knew that no one would trust him again.
Even he didn't want to care anymore.
At this moment,
A whole day has passed since that critical time point, and he has become disgusted with everything about the "doomsday". He really wants to remove the doomsday from himself and return to ordinary life as soon as possible.
Just like what he thought before in the Public Security Bureau, he wanted to relax and regain his feelings...
But the few phone calls he just made made him realize that he couldn't even say nice things to the people around him naturally. He even had to think about what tone to use and what words were more suitable...
"Well... maybe, it will take a while to get used to it..."
Zhou Qi let out a long sigh.
It gets darker.
It was approaching evening again, and the sunset struggled to pass through the gray clouds, dyeing the sky a faint orange.
This is the day after the "doomsday" did not come,
he……
Don't know what the future holds.
