In his sleep, Wen Liang struggled to find his phone and swiped the screen in a daze. The rhythmic vibrating sound finally disappeared.
Wen Liang, who had heavy eyelids, could only barely hum in a nasal voice: "Hello."
The young male voice on the other end of the phone came to my ears: "Old Wen, you haven't woken up yet."
"Let me see, it's not even ten o'clock yet, um... I'll tell everyone first, I'll call you at lunch, and we'll chat while we eat."
The male voice had a forced smile, but it sounded very distant and vague to Wen Liang's ears.
"We've reached this point anyway, it's not a matter of urgency."
Seeing that Wen Liang didn't say anything for a long time, he had to ask: "Old Wen?"
"Yeah." Wen Liang's eyelids were so heavy that he didn't open them now, but he could hear the male voice more clearly and managed to respond, "Okay, I understand."
The person on the other end of the phone seemed a little worried and babbled a few words: "It wasn't the responsibility of any of us in the first place. Aze was a little excited. He knew you had to mention business matters during your birthday, but he just..."
"Forget it, let's not say so much. Even the worst result is just starting from scratch."
After a pause, he said again: "Okay, you can sleep again."
"..."
His eyelids were already heavy at first, and what he said on the phone was so confusing that Wen Liang, who was half asleep and half awake, was very puzzled.
"Hu~hu"
Wen Liang gasped continuously, but still couldn't open his eyes (liǎo).
It feels like being forcibly turned on, and thoughts are still floating back and forth between sleep and reality.
It barely formed a line.
"I drank too much yesterday!"
"The process has been going on for half a year, and I have finally been appointed as a deputy public affairs officer. It happened to be before the National Day. Everyone had planned the National Day holiday and saved up until my 30th birthday to celebrate together, but..."
"Aze just mentioned something about college last night, right?"
"I remember that everyone felt very sorry. With a certain status, it is inevitable to recall the glorious past. It is normal."
"It's just that Aze was teasing me the most, saying that I took shortcuts as soon as I graduated...why did I talk about responsibility?"
"This comforting young voice is very similar to Xiao Chen, and there is a sense of strangeness... I really don't have a clear mind after drinking too much!"
"..."
After clearing his thoughts and regaining some energy, Wen Liang raised his hand and rubbed his forehead to make himself more awake.
Unexpectedly, the more I rubbed my forehead, the more painful it became, as if it was about to explode.
Wen Liang had no choice but to give up this futile effort.
I opened my left eye with all my strength, and soon caught sight of the phone screen that was lighting up.
The time on the lock screen is very clear: 09:52.
The date on the bottom line: Sunday, October 16th
Wen Liang frowned: "Sleep for two days?"
Finally, his two eyes opened, and the relatively strong light made them squint involuntarily. Wen Liang stared at the ceiling, stunned.
"The ceiling is so close, I feel like I can reach it with my hand. There are cobwebs all over it. It's time to ask for cleaning again... Hey, why is there an electric fan hanging in the middle?"
As he muttered casually, Wen Liang suddenly felt something was wrong.
He quickly moved his neck and looked left and right...
wall……
One, two...three beds?
etc!
Isn't this what my college dormitory looks like?
Wen Liang quickly rubbed his eyes and looked carefully. There was still an electric fan hanging in the middle of the ceiling. Even the black and gray on the electric fan's grille were so clear.
I was still in a small room with no one else and everything was arranged in a mess.
I was lying on an iron frame bed, which was only one meter wide at most. I couldn't turn over too much.
Under the bed is a table...
Wen Liang even smelled a bit of the rancid hangover smell on himself.
The next second, Wen Liang sat up suddenly, a brand new white mobile phone slipped from the side, and he directly determined the current time point.
There is no need to look at the calendar anymore. Wen Liang knows that he has returned from the day after his 30th birthday in 2022 to the day after his 19th birthday in 2011 11 years ago.
Wen Liang muttered: "He's actually back."
Compared to the deputy section leader, Director Wen is obviously very happy to be reborn, a unique and unparalleled thing!
Soon, Wen Liang turned over and climbed out of bed.
Throwing Director Wen's poise aside, he excitedly ran to the balcony of the dormitory, regardless of his wrinkled shorts, shorts, and slippers.
The wind blew through the branches and spread to the leaves in front of the window, and the subtle rustling sound sounded like joy to his ears.
In late October, the summer atmosphere in Yangcheng is still very strong, with warm sunshine and buzzing insects.
There are two rows of lush trees downstairs, and not far away is a fence. Beyond the fence are several dormitory buildings. The balconies are covered with all kinds of clothes, and that is actually a dormitory building from another school.
Every detail is familiar to Wen Liang.
Wen Liang didn't even bother to think, he just hurriedly walked through the empty dormitory and went to the corridor.
Various miscellaneous sounds came from other dormitories.
There are songs and game sound effects released through various devices.
There were also very passionate conversations between some boys in the dormitory next door.
"The jungle can come!"
"Quick, dragon dragon dragon dragon!"
"..."
Wen Liang quickly remembered that the national server of LOL had just officially launched.
He also thought of the fun he had participated in at this time, and had played all night long one or two.
Sure enough, the university campus is a place where you can feel youthful just standing in the corridor of the dormitory!
What Wen Liang is stepping on now is the No. 11 Boys Dormitory in the North District of South China University of Technology, where he has stayed for more than two years. The dormitory number behind him is, as expected, 508!
The messy messages in the phone call he received before he was still awake were exactly the 'regrets' that Aze mentioned last night before his rebirth.
In 2011, in the first semester of his freshman year, Wen Liang hooked up with classmates and friends to start a business in school.
I thought that we could build a bright future in such a bright era by relying on our own abilities and vision, but then... Anyway, it's just past half of October, and the startup company is about to be disbanded.
However, that was back then...
Putting these many thoughts under control, Wen Liang walked back to the dormitory with a happy expression.
I don't know which dormitory came from piano music that was so loud that it covered all the other noisy sounds. It had a pleasant taste.
It's like saying goodbye, but also like meeting again after a long absence.
Full of freedom and hope.
Standing in front of the hand-washing mirror, Wen Liang reached out and touched the slightly long but not thick beard around his mouth.
After that, I walked out of the bathroom and quickly found the electric shaver from the desk drawer under my bed. I returned to the hand-washing mirror and shaved my beard cleanly with a few clicks.
Suddenly, someone screamed an old song: "In this world, here I come, let the storm whirlpool~~~"
Looking in the mirror, the youthfulness on his face has not completely faded away. Wen Liang, who is holding the sink with both hands, grins widely. Each white tooth exudes the light of confidence. His brows are slightly condensed, as if he is listening, and his mouth
He murmured the words of the second grade.
"Hello 2011, I'm Wen Liang. Long time no see. Listen...that's 'Dragon Roar'!"
