郑真秀盯着郑民看了好一会，却是在郑民心底有些发毛的时候，微微一笑。那一笑如寒冰初融，春回大地。
“好，我下来。别再看我日记了。”
郑民见郑真秀笑了，他也就稍稍得松了一口气，微笑着摊开手：“放心，我看也看不懂！”
摇曳的灯光照亮了漆黑的长夜。

八月二十五日，晴。
天空蒙蒙亮的时候，躺在床上的郑真秀突兀地感到一阵心悸。他猛得睁开了双眼，疑惑地朝周围看去。四周是和平时无二的场景。
喔喔喔！
公鸡打鸣的声音此起彼伏的从窗外传来。叽叽喳喳地鸟叫给这秋天的黎明添加一分生机。
房间之外的动静是很熟悉的起床洗漱的动静。
是昨天没有关窗户的缘故吗？
郑真秀捂着不断跳动的心，盯着敞开的窗户凝眸几秒。他没有感觉到恐惧，只是觉得……好吧，他只是觉得他应该觉得些什么异常。
事实上，这里的一切都很正常，奇怪的只是他自己，一个心脏莫名就怦怦地跳个不停的人。
先去打水洗漱吧……
郑真秀这样想到。他习惯性地起身叠好了被子，打开了房门。房门外也是正常的，一个干干净净的走道。
郑真秀遇见了因为还要值班而早起的郑民。郑民看见起得异常早的郑真秀不免有些惊讶。
“你这么早就起来了？”
郑真秀朝郑民微笑地点了点头：“我听说早睡早起身体好，我想趁着空气好出门多走走。”
郑民更是惊讶：“你不是说过在这时的空气才是最差的吗？什么植物一夜都不能进行光合作用什么的。”
“我说过了吗？”郑真秀的眼中泛起一点疑惑，然后又自觉地点了点头，“是，我是说过这样的话。但晨练更是有利于身体健康。一日之计在于晨。”
“哦。”得到解释的郑民很快就把郑真秀为什么起得很早的问题放在了一边。
“你是要等你嫂子起来和她一起吃，还是跟我一起到外面找吃的？”郑民看着郑真秀等待他的回答。现在各种早点铺子已经开张了，寻到吃的不是什么难事。
郑真秀听到他的问题，微微一笑：“我就出去转两圈，等我回来，她也就快醒了。不用额外浪费秀气的。”
“好。”郑民接受了郑真秀的选择，让开通往水房的路。郑真秀微笑着下了楼。
