夜色已散,但心底的阴影却没有随之消退.千齐张躺在床上,眼皮沉重,却始终无法安睡.那一幕幕梦中的画面反复浮现:陌生的文字,朦胧的声音,还有那个名字.越想,越觉得心中不安,像被什么东西紧紧缠绕.
直到清晨,闹钟声刺破寂静,他才从迷离的思绪中回过神来.阳光透过窗户,仿佛一切都和往常一样——没有变化,没有痕迹.可千齐张却知道,自己的世界早已被撕开了一道缝.
背着书包走进校园,他努力让自己看起来和往常一样.可心中那份不安始终没有消失.尤其是那个名字,他怎么都忘不掉.
"今天我们班来了一位新同学."讲台上的老师露出笑容.教室瞬间安静下来.下一刻,那名字再次被唤出——"小千,请上来做一下自我介绍."
林墨心头猛地一震.空气像瞬间凝固,他几乎不敢相信自己的耳朵.小千——那个只存在于他梦境中的人,此刻竟堂堂正正地站在了现实里.
教室的目光齐刷刷落在讲台前.少年步伐不快,却稳得让人心里发紧.阳光透过窗棂落在他身上,他抬起眼的瞬间,林墨猛地屏住呼吸——和梦里的身影,一模一样.
那张清秀的面容,眼神里若有若无的沉静感,都与昨夜记忆深处的画面重叠.林墨心口骤然发紧,甚至怀疑自己是不是还没从梦中醒来."大家好,我叫小千,从今天开始和你们同班."他的声音清清淡淡,却像被某种无形的力放大,在林墨耳边一遍遍回荡.
班主任点点头,示意小千下台."你的座位,就在林墨旁边."
林墨呼吸一滞.小千已经迈步朝他走来,步伐不快不慢,仿佛带着某种无法抗拒的节奏.椅子被轻轻拉开,少年在他身侧坐下.空气瞬间紧绷起来.林墨的眼角余光忍不住扫过去,却正好撞上小千那双似笑非笑的眼睛."你好."小千的声音淡淡的.
而另一边,千齐张依旧维持着表面的冷静,目光却锋利如刀.他盯着林墨与小千之间那看似普通的互动,背脊缓缓紧绷.昨夜的电话,今天的巧合,这一切拼凑在一起,让他感到前所未有的不安.
下课铃骤然响起,教室里瞬间喧闹起来.林墨却像被困在一层薄雾中,分不清此刻是现实,还是仍在梦境.就在这时,小千忽然侧过身,轻声开口:"我们是不是...见过?"
林墨心口猛地一颤,呼吸停滞.一旁的千齐张猛然合上书本,冷冷打断:"别乱说."他的眼神锐利,仿佛在警告,也仿佛在掩饰什么.
空气顷刻间凝固下来.林墨紧紧握住笔,手心一片冰凉.越是想要分辨清楚,梦与现实的界限,反而愈加模糊.这一刻,林墨感觉自己被推向了一场无法逃避的漩涡.
The darkness of night had dissipated, but the shadows in the heart had not faded. Qian Qizhang lay in bed, his eyelids heavy, yet sleep eluded him. Scenes from his dreams resurfaced repeatedly: mysterious scripts, hazy voices, and that specific name. The more he thought, the more uneasy he felt, as if something were tightening its grip around him.
It wasn't until the morning alarm pierced the silence that he snapped out of his blurred thoughts. Sunlight streamed through the window, making everything seem normal—no changes, no traces. Yet, Qian Qizhang knew that a crack had already been torn into his world.
Walking into the campus with his bag, he tried his best to look as usual. But the unease never left. Especially that name—he couldn't forget it no matter how hard he tried.
"We have a new student joining us today," the teacher said with a smile. The classroom fell silent instantly. In the next moment, that name was called out again— "Xiao Qian, please come up and introduce yourself."
Lin Mo's heart jolted violently. The air seemed to freeze; he could hardly believe his ears. Xiao Qian—the person who had only existed in his dreams—was now standing right there in reality.
Every eye in the classroom turned toward the front. The boy moved at a measured pace, steady enough to make one's heart tighten. As sunlight filtered through the window and fell upon him, Lin Mo held his breath the moment the boy looked up. He was exactly like the figure in the dream.
That delicate face and the faint sense of serenity in his eyes overlapped perfectly with the memories from the night before. Lin Mo's chest tightened; he even wondered if he had yet to wake up. "Hello, everyone. My name is Xiao Qian. I'll be in the same class as you from today on." His voice was soft and clear, yet it felt amplified by some invisible force, echoing repeatedly in Lin Mo's ears.
The teacher nodded and gestured for Xiao Qian to take a seat. "Your seat will be right next to Lin Mo."
Lin Mo's breath hitched. Xiao Qian walked toward him with a rhythmic, irresistible pace. The chair was pulled out quietly, and the boy sat beside him. The air grew tense. From the corner of his eye, Lin Mo couldn't help but look, only to meet Xiao Qian's eyes, which held a faint, enigmatic smile. "Hello," Xiao Qian whispered.
On the other side, Qian Qizhang maintained a calm exterior, but his gaze was as sharp as a blade. He stared at the seemingly ordinary interaction between Lin Mo and Xiao Qian, his back slowly tensing. The phone call from last night, the coincidence of today—everything piecing together brought an unprecedented sense of dread.
The bell rang, and the classroom burst into noise. Lin Mo, however, felt trapped in a thin mist, unable to distinguish reality from the dream. Just then, Xiao Qian leaned over and spoke softly: "Have we... met before?"
Lin Mo's heart shuddered, his breathing stopped. Beside him, Qian Qizhang slammed his book shut and interrupted coldly: "Don't talk nonsense." His eyes were sharp, as if warning, or perhaps concealing something.
The air solidified instantly. Lin Mo gripped his pen, his palms icy cold. The more he tried to distinguish the two, the more blurred the line between dream and reality became. At this moment, Lin Mo felt himself being pushed into an inescapable vortex.
