There were fires everywhere in the golden hall. The flames in the fireplace burned out vigorously. The flames climbed up to the Christmas tree and licked the dome of the hall happily. What was heard was wonderful music. People indulged in the dance floor with the flames as a companion.
During the dance, the man kissed the woman intoxicatedly, and the dance steps became more and more vigorous, as if he was going to dance into hell.
"Run, run faster, don't look back." said the girl with blood on her face.
The little boy squatted on the ground with a dazed face. He looked around, with the monstrous fire reflected in his eyes.
The girl was sitting in the middle of the hall, covering her abdomen, and blood was pouring out. The little boy moved over to help him hold the wound, but the girl pushed him away and sat down on the ground. He said with an angry face: "You didn't
Do you hear me? I told you to get out!"
The little boy was frightened. He always listened to girls and was most afraid of girls being angry.
When the girl saw the frightened boy on the ground but didn't make any movement, her expression suddenly softened and she said, "Come here."
The little boy crawled over without hesitation. The girl reached out and touched his face. The blood remained on his cheek. It was warm and a little sticky. The girl whispered softly: "I'm going to die. People here
They are all going to die, but you are different. You can escape from here. I don’t blame you for leaving me. It was an accident that you are here now, so let’s go. Don’t wait. You have always listened to me, haven’t you? I
You can do whatever I ask you to do, and you will die if I tell you to, but I want you to leave now, and if you wait any longer, you really won’t be able to leave."
The burning Christmas tree fell down, crushing several men and women who were dancing wildly. There were still singing and dancing in the golden hall. No one panicked. They turned a blind eye to all the disasters. It seemed that only the two most abnormal people, the girl and the boy, were normal.
of.
The little boy looked at the girl and kept shaking her head. He said nothing and didn't leave.
"Didn't you say you were willing to do three things for me?" The girl looked at the little boy and suddenly said: "Now it's time to fulfill your promise. I want you to turn around and leave me, run far away, and never come back again.
"
There was hesitation on the little boy's face, but he still didn't move. His whole body was shaking as he held the girl's bloody hand.
"Didn't I say that after tonight you will be a man? Men will always keep their promises and promise me, okay?" The girl reached out and lifted up the little boy's forehead and said with a smile.
The little boy looked at the girl blankly, and after a long time he nodded.
"Very good, you are worthy of being my man." The girl hugged the little boy's head, kissed his forehead, and pushed him hard. The boy stumbled to the ground and rushed towards the door of the golden hall without looking back.
go.
"Run! Run faster! Don't look back, keep running to the spring garden!" The girl looked at the little boy's back in the flames and shouted loudly.
The little boy ran really fast, as if there was wind under his feet, and no obstacle could stop him. Finally, he rushed out of the curtain of flames and disappeared through the door of the hall.
The girl sat in a pool of blood and stared at the direction where the boy disappeared for a long time. Only when she was sure that he would not come back did her clenched fists relax slightly, and the tension in her whole body was completely relieved, and she suddenly became limp.
On the ground.
"Sure enough, he ran really fast." It wasn't until the end that a relieved expression appeared on the girl's face, and she muttered with a smile.
Above her head, the burning beams collapsed and the flames engulfed everything.
Lin Nian opened his eyes, and heard the repeated beeping sound of the alarm clock in his ears. The alarm clock on the bedside table showed that it was 7:00 AM, and the light in the room was dim.
The twilight dawned outside the curtains, the sky was slightly brighter, and the rustling sound of cleaners sweeping the floor on the street could be clearly heard.
He had nightmares again
At 8:30 in the morning, Lin Nian and Lin Xian stood side by side in front of the Regent Hotel, looking a little hesitantly at the waiters coming and going through the glass door.
The Regency Hotel is one of the best star hotels in this small coastal city. The service industry involves banquets, weddings and company team building. It is said that the best way to judge whether a newlywed couple is capable is to see whether they can stay in the Regent Hotel.
Place a few banquet tables in the Jing Hotel. If you are strong enough, compare it with the number of floors of the hotel you have booked.
Lin Nian has never been to this kind of hotel. In his impression, hotels and inns are similar in nature. The only difference is that one has a large LCD TV and air conditioning and the other does not. But I heard from classmates who have the ability to stay in star-rated hotels.
The gap between the two is actually quite large. At least the disposable toothpaste brands in star hotels are Colgate.
In the end, it was Lin Xian who made the first move, mainly because the two siblings stood at the door for too long and could easily be speculated as thieves with evil intentions. This CBD area is full of rich and powerful people, so petty theft is relatively easy.
The behavior was also endless, and soon people passing by were looking at them as if they were on guard against thieves.
After entering the Regent Hotel, he sat in the sofa area and waited. Lin Xian specially asked for leave today to accompany Lin Nian. After a rare rest, Lin Nian kept poking at the screen with his mobile phone. Like other young people, he had
Naturally, he couldn't sit still when he had a mobile phone. There was still a lot of built-in traffic, so he simply hung up on QQ to peek into the class group.
Someone in the class group was chatting about tonight's dinner party early in the morning. Some people said that the drinks in the hot pot restaurant were not authentic and they had to bring their own beer and Luzhou Laojiao. Some people said that they had been feeling angry recently and hoped that someone could bring a box of watermelon.
Frost clears away heat.
"Are these Mr. Lin Nian and Miss Lin Xian?" After a while, the polite waiter came down from the elevator not far away and walked straight up to Lin Nian and asked.
"Yes." Lin Nian put away his phone and stood up. Next to him, Lin Xian, who had not slept well last night, also woke up and stood up.
"Professor Manstein has been waiting at the VIP restaurant bar on the ninth floor for a long time. If you are ready, please come with me." The waiter explained after confirming the identities of the two people.
Lin Nian and Lin Xian looked at each other. They didn't expect that the admissions office of American schools would be so considerate and even consider breakfast together. But they had already eaten soy milk and fried dough sticks in the morning. It was cheap and affordable, only ten yuan.
Can solve a meal.
Follow the waiter to the VIP elevator all the way to the ninth floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, an old man wearing a retro monocle was already standing at the door looking at Lin Nian in the elevator and said with a smile: "Lin Nian, I have been waiting for you for a long time.
Already."
"You must be Professor Manstein, right? Your Chinese is as good as Miss Mandy." It was hard for Lin Nian not to notice the old man's bald head at first glance. To use a disrespectful word, it was 'shiny'.
This adds a bit of severity to the old man.
All in all, first impression is not bad.
"Gerd Rudolf Manstein, just call me Professor Manstein. I think Mandy has also briefly introduced our college to you. Chinese is a compulsory course in our college. Considering your native language,
You can be exempted from taking foreign language courses in school and get full grade points." Professor Manstein stretched out his hand to shake Lin Nian's hand, and then did not forget to say hello and shake hands with Lin Xian: "This is Lin Nian's sister, I am very happy for you.
Can you accompany me to the interview?"
"It is our honor to sit down with your school." Lin Xian is not very young, but he has already learned a lot about communication skills. He shook hands with Professor Manstein and showed enough courtesy and respect.
"Have you had breakfast? Do you want to join us?" Professor Manstein invited the two of them out of the elevator and walked to the edge seats of the VIP dining bar, where a girl with blond hair was already sitting.
With a good face, it was Mandy who had been in contact with Lin Nian not long ago. She smiled politely after seeing Lin Nian and the two.
