I studied beheading in a mental institution

"Xiaoqi, what did the doctor say?" Auntie walked into the room wearing an apron.

"I'm recovering well." Lin Qiye shrugged, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Auntie, is this Dr. Li... really sent by the hospital?

"Yes, what's the matter?" Auntie asked suspiciously.

Lin Qiye shook his head, "It's nothing, I just think he's a bit strange."

My aunt seemed to think of something, and said, "By the way, I just realized that the soy sauce at home has run out. I have to go out and buy some soy sauce..."

"Let me go, Auntie." Lin Qiye said proactively, "The food is still hot in your pot."

My aunt was taken aback, and after a moment of hesitation, she nodded, "Then be careful and be safe."

Lin Qiye hummed, changed his shoes at the door, and pushed the door open.

Walking up the stairs covered with small advertisements to the first floor, Lin Qiye walked towards the main street along the familiar alleyway.

On the low wall next to him, the gray-white wall is bare, with a few yellowed advertisements pasted here and there. The concrete road under his feet is full of pits, and if he is not careful, he will step into the shallow pit.

He walked into the nearest small shop on the street, picked out the cheapest bottle of soy sauce, carried a plastic bag, and followed the scattered crowd towards home.

Lin Qiye looked up, the setting sun burned the clouds in the sky into fiery red, and the distant singing of cicadas mixed with the music from the video store on the corner echoed in his ears.

"How I wish I could go back to that summer,

How I want to go back to you.

I seem to be able to meet again,

Those episodes with you at the beginning..."

Lin Qiye took a deep breath, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Yes, this is what he likes, a simple and warm life.

boom--! !

Just when he passed a traffic light, a loud buzzing sound suddenly came from a distance, and the ground under his feet began to tremble!

"Earthquake?" Lin Qiye stabilized his figure in astonishment and looked up.

I saw the originally beautiful sunset sky, which had disappeared. The pitch black and dark blue separated the boundless sky, and everything around was dimmed.

Lin Qiye lowered his head and suddenly froze in place.

At some point, the pedestrians who had been waiting with him at the traffic lights had disappeared, and the entire street was empty, not even a single person.

Under the two-colored sky, the red signal lights on the road flickered, reflecting the boy's figure in deep red.

"This...what's going on?" Lin Qiye muttered to himself.

At this moment, a gray-robed Taoist suddenly appeared in front of him, looked into Lin Qiye's eyes, and said calmly:

"You should wake up..."

After the voice fell, the streets around Lin Qiye shattered piece by piece, like a world built by mirror images, it collapsed, and everything around him turned into nothingness, dissipating in the gray mist.

Lin Qiye seemed to lose weight, and his body fell rapidly.

Countless streamers appeared beside Lin Qiye, those were his memories.

Night Watchman, Team 136, Training Camp, Rocky, The Lost City...

The memories that had been buried in his dust emerged at this moment and poured into his mind. Lin Qiye's eyes shrank, and a look of pain appeared between his brows.

He remembered.

With the recovery of memory, those deeply buried pains, sorrows, and regrets exploded like gunpowder, reappearing in his heart.

"Are these... all fake?" Lin Qiye's figure fell rapidly, he stared blankly at the soy sauce bottle in his hand, and muttered to himself.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly raised his head to look up, with a strange look in his eyes.

"I can't just leave like this." Lin Qiye's eyes burst out with a dazzling golden light, and his falling figure suddenly stopped!

"It doesn't matter whether it's true or not... This is my last chance to say goodbye to them..."

Lin Qiye's voice fell, and the city that had collapsed into nothingness was reorganized again, and the little golden lights returned to the original street appearance. He was standing on the empty street with soy sauce in his hand.

The red signal light above his head flickered, Lin Qiye strode forward fiercely and ran towards home.

Every time he took a step, the city behind him turned into golden light and dissipated, turning into endless fog.

He didn't look back, but just stared at the front, where there was a small old house.

Finally, he stopped in front of the low house.

The entire fantasy world has disappeared, only the low house in front of me stands in the mist, with golden light spots permeating its surroundings, like an isolated island in the sea.

Lin Qiye took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and walked in.

"Xiao Qi, have you brought back the soy sauce?" Aunt walked out of the kitchen, and when she saw Lin Qiye, whose face was covered in tears at the door, she suddenly froze in place.

"Auntie." Lin Qiye saw his auntie, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

My aunt hurried forward, took the soy sauce in Lin Qiye's hand, and wiped away the tears from the corners of Lin Qiye's eyes, "You child, how did you become like this when you went out to buy soy sauce?"

Lin Qiye stared at his aunt's face, feeling sour in his heart, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

"It's okay..." After a moment, he shook his head.

"Are you hungry?" My aunt asked concerned. She looked back at the kitchen and said, "Go and sit down first, the meal will be ready soon."

Lin Qiye nodded, walked to the chair by the dining table and sat down, staring at the busy figures in the kitchen in a daze.

After a while, my aunt came out of the kitchen with two steaming dishes and placed them in front of Lin Qiye. She wiped her hands on the apron and handed the chopsticks to Lin Qiye.

"Eat it while it's hot."

Lin Qiye took the chopsticks and stared at the food in front of him. After a moment of silence, he began to eat with big mouthfuls.

Auntie likes to put more salt in cooking, after all, it is the cheapest condiment in their family, which makes every meal she cooks will be salty, Lin Qiye and Yang Jin have no choice but to accept it after countless protests to no avail this reality.

The same goes for this meal.

But Lin Qiye didn't waste the slightest bit. He swallowed all the food in big gulps. He never thought that his aunt's food would be so delicious, as if what was added to the food was not a lot of salt, but a little bit of sweetness in life.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." My aunt persuaded from the side, "I'm really hungry..."

The surrounding walls gradually collapsed into nothingness, and the last remaining corner of the world also began to collapse, the door, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom...

One after another the rooms disappeared, and finally, only this corner by the dining table was left, suspended in the mist.

Under such a strange situation, my aunt seemed not to notice at all, but looked at Lin Qiye who was eating with concern.

Lin Qiye raised his head, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said slowly:

"aunt."

"What's wrong?"

"In the future, I still want to eat the meals you cook."

The aunt was slightly taken aback, "You kid, what nonsense are you talking about? As long as you want to eat, when will aunt not make it for you?"

"Yeah." Lin Qiye nodded, and looked down at the empty bowl in front of him, not even a grain of rice left.

"I will definitely...let you come back."

He muttered to himself.

He put down the chopsticks in his hand.

Aunts, dining tables, chairs, and empty rice bowls all disappeared, leaving only Lin Qiye standing alone in the mist.

"I should wake up..."
