Ten past nine.

Nine minutes and ten seconds, two seconds, three seconds...

Xu Yunshu kept counting the time displayed on the clock on the wall, frowning in a daze.

Today is the second day of July, Saturday. He has a lot of time to think.

His stomach was growling, but Xu Yunshu had no intention of eating breakfast.

He is a fourth-year student at Haishi University. In about two months, he will graduate from school and enter the society.

His peers were all thinking about what they would do after entering society, but Xu Yunshu was not. He was thinking about a strange dream.

This dream was so strange that if I told it, the audience would just laugh and treat it as something to talk about after dinner.

However, for Xu Yunshu, it was an out-and-out strange dream that would make his heart palpitate for a whole week.

For a week from the end of June to the beginning of July, he continued to have the same dream, and Xu Yunshu woke up from his sleep every time.

He dreamed that he was eating. He had no hands, so he could only open his huge mouth and eat the strange-shaped raw meat on the ground. In the dream, he even felt that the taste was very delicious.

In the dream, he was a white wolf.

A giant white wolf with a huge horn protruding from its forehead.

He couldn't recognize any of the trees in the forest. They ranged from insects, snakes, and rats to birds and animals, all of which had strange shapes.

This feeling is very real. In his dream, Xu Yunshu felt the pleasant feeling of the wind blowing through his fur. He could smell the refreshing aroma brought by the flowers and leaves in the forest, and he could hear the leaves on the trees singing.

He saw blocks of color composed of light and dark, a forest sky that made people tired of looking at it.

In the dream, he was inexplicably familiar with everything in the forest, as if he had lived there all his life, spending his childhood playing time there, spending every day in danger, hunting or being chased by other wild beasts.

This mood seems to have begun to affect Xu Yunshu in reality. He inexplicably feels that he is the white wolf. This sea city made of steel and concrete has never been his home.

Although he has spent the best four years of his life in this city.

hunting……

Now Xu Yunshu, the first word that comes to mind when he sees food is hunting.

This is not a good sign.

The dream becomes clearer and clearer, so clear that...it gives people the illusion that the wolf is his true form.

Xu Yunshu has a feeling that tonight will be the final stage of breaking the invisible boundaries.

What happens when boundaries are broken?

Xu Yunshu didn't dare to think about it, but he had to think about it.

When the hour hand finally took a shy step under Xu Yunshu's gaze, he decided to go out for a walk, put on his casual clothes, took a look at himself in the mirror, and then smoothed his hair with his fingers.

His cheeks were long and thin, his eyes had dark circles due to insomnia, and the whites of his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes.

Trying his best to look less haggard, Xu Yunshu walked out of the door.

He lives in Linhai Community on the north side of Huanshan Road in Haicheng City. Although it is called Linhai Community, it doesn't have any smell of the sea.

In fact, this city is still far away from the sea.

The place where he lives is not too far from Haishi University, and it is located in the suburbs. The rent is not expensive, which allows Xu Yunshu to rent alone while working part-time.

Although it is a good idea to find a companion to share the house with, it will only make Xu Yunshu feel very annoyed. He does not like being with other people that much. During the four years at Haishi University, Xu Yunshu only knew his classmates and a few people.

.

The Huanshan Road is built around a mountainside called Qingshan. The road surface is not very easy to walk. It is very difficult to take a taxi. Usually he will take a bus or call an online taxi.

Today was different. To Xu Yunshu's expectation, as soon as he walked to the roadside, he found an empty taxi. This taxi was a yellow and green Volkswagen with the words "Hai Shi Taxi Company" printed on the door.

"Go to the Fourth Ring Road." Xu Yunshu sat in the back seat of the taxi. He couldn't think of where to go to relax, so he casually mentioned this familiar place.

That was where Haishi University was located. Xu Yunshu was feeling uncomfortable at home, so he went to the library to sit while his ID was still valid.

"Are you a student of Haishi University? My daughter is also studying there." There is no doubt that Xu Yunshu met a talkative driver. The driver was about fifty years old and a little fat. In the car,

In the rearview mirror, Xu Yunshu could see the crow's feet at the corners of this man's eyes.

"Well, I'm a senior student." Xu Yunshu replied, "I'm from the School of Life Sciences."

He knew that when he met such a talkative driver, he would definitely introduce himself during the interrogation, so he simply said that he didn't want to be annoyed now, "I will graduate in two months."

"Oh? My daughter is also from the School of Life Sciences. I heard that she was in the same class that year. You should know her, right? Her name is Guo Xiaojie." When Xu Yunshu heard the man say his daughter's name, his tone was filled with joy.

Xu Yunshu knows this girl, and it is said that she is very popular among boys.

But these have nothing to do with him.

"Not very familiar."

"Haha, you live in Linhai Community, right? This is the only building on Huanshan Road that can be rented. After all, we are still neighbors!"

"Oh, yes."

"...You are a bit introverted." The speechless driver touched the soft nail and reached for the water cup in the groove. The transparent water cup was filled with lily, schisandra, barley and other things, densely filling the inside.

When he said this, the taxi made a sharp turn, and after putting aside the obstruction of the mountains, the city in the distance was clearly visible. Xu Yunshu's destination was not far away.

The talkative driver didn't want to let him go, so he changed the topic.

"Do you usually drink scented tea? Everything in my cup is a good soothing drink." The driver sighed, "At my age, I can't sleep well and have nightmares. These days, I always dream that I am a bird.

Rabbits are hiding in the forest, frightened."

"Yesterday was even more outrageous. I could actually control that rabbit in my dream. Isn't it funny?" After saying that, he felt a little funny himself and couldn't help laughing.

Xu Yunshu did not smile, on the contrary, his face was gloomy.

He recalled the strange dream that had been plaguing him for a whole week.

Due to Xu Yunshu's uncooperation, the driver gradually stopped smiling and became speechless.

He obviously felt that Xu Yunshu was a weirdo who couldn't communicate.

The taxi stopped at the zebra crossing and waited for the traffic light. The strange silence made the whole car feel awkward.

Xu Yunshu broke the silence, "The forest... what do the trees in the forest look like? What about the grass? What is the pattern of plant distribution? How are the animals in it different from reality?"

The green light is on.

The driver didn't say a word and just drove silently.

The vehicle turned left and parked at the entrance of Haishi University. The driver raised the meter and said with a cold face, "Twelve yuan, the scan code is here."

Xu Yunshu knew that he had scared him.

He was not a person who was good at communicating with others, so he had no choice but to scan the QR code, pay and get out of the car, and watched the taxi leave.

If what the driver said is true, it means that he was not the only one to dream about the forest.

Xu Yunshu planned to go to the library to check the classification of plants to see if any plants could correspond to the dream world.

Just when he was about to look away, he saw the taxi crashing straight into the roadside fence. People passing by screamed in fear.

Xu Yunshu walked a few steps quickly and his eyes fell on the cab.
