Features: After that morning, Baby Tree and I could only meet in the realm of dreams. I missed Baby Tree every day, and finally, I wrote the composition "Plink, Plink, Plink." To my surprise, my Chinese teacher even gave me 99 points! Looking at the bright red 99 on my composition book, I wished so much that Baby Tree could be beside me to share it with me! That night, lying in bed, I read "Plink, Plink, Plink." My voice was soft, just like the days when Baby Tree was beside me, and I spoke softly, afraid of being overheard by Mom. After finishing reading, my head habitually tilted to the left—reading excerpt: The gas station was still the same, but after neutralizing "Plink, Plink, Plink" in the invisible world, no more sounds of Number One came out. Zero walked up to the black ball and said to the invisible people, "I am Zero, the creator of the invisible world. Everyone pay attention, I have something to announce!" But only a few invisible people in the line heard Zero's voice and looked at her. "Oh, I forgot," Zero said, and then she disappeared. "Where did she go?" Number One asked, "She must have gone to the laboratory to change the channel. Almost all the invisible people in our world are not very interested in anything. They are all immersed in the lonely channel. However, even though they are in the same channel, no one pays attention to each other, making it even more lonely. If we want everyone to know this, we can only temporarily change the channel with external force to make them notice the world around them."
