Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

----

Lu You found him sitting in a familiar place.

Wood-colored tables and chairs, glass walls and white counters.This is the dessert shop next to the basketball court of the university. Yuan Xiaoxiao often asks him to come here when he needs to find something. He just sits in this seat near the glass wall.Now there is a glass of lemonade in front of him, and the outside of the glass of the iced drink is covered with fine and dense drops of water; the two chairs opposite are opened, one of which has a girl's small handbag, and on the table is a A glass of half-drunk juice.There is melodious violin music playing in the store, and in the sink for washing cups in the counter, clear water is flowing from the faucet.

But there was no one in the store except him.

Lu You looked outside through the layer of glass, and the road was also empty, with no one there.Behind the wire-woven protective net, a basketball was lying alone on the ground of the basketball court.The sun shines vertically on the earth from above, and the sunlight presents a dull pale color, as if it has lost its temperature.It's still daytime, and the basketball court, which is usually bustling and crowded every day even during the holidays, is so quiet. Where have all the people in the school gone?

Lu You stood outside the dessert shop.There was no process of getting up and walking out, his position changed as if the picture was switched, but Lu You didn't feel any strange at all.He also never doubted why he came back here suddenly after graduating from university.He walked towards the teaching building along the empty and quiet road, and saw many bicycles lying on the side of the road at random, and backpacks and books scattered on the grass by the landscape lake.The owners of things are gone.It's not a messy scene left in a panic, as if those people just left temporarily, or disappeared from where they were.

As he walked forward, the scenes around him switched like pages of a book. Normally, it would take more than a quarter of an hour to walk, but it came to an end in just a dozen steps.As Lu You walked up the steps of the teaching building, he didn't know what he was going to do here, but he had a vague awareness of who he was looking for.Behind the open glass door is a hall covered with large smooth tiles. Lu You stepped on it, and the next step was the upstairs corridor.The entire teaching building was silent, and there was no one in sight.

Lu You walked forward along the corridor, pushing open the classroom doors that were concealed one by one.It was all empty, empty, empty.There are blackboard writings for English class on the blackboard, and the projector in one classroom is still on, and the movie screen played on it is paused at the moment when a person sinks into the water.Lu You wanted to see clearly that person's face submerged in countless bubbles, but the harder he tried, the more blurred the picture became, and finally it became countless plaques whose outlines could not be distinguished.Lu You continued to walk to the next classroom, her breathing unknowingly became rapid and her pace quickened.He was finally beginning to feel fear.

The next door was pushed open.Inside the door is no longer an empty classroom, but a living room with sofas and coffee tables.Half-read books were folded upside down on the sofa, and children's toys were scattered on the wooden floor.Lu You is very familiar with this place: this is his first home where he has lived for more than ten years.He could vaguely hear the voices of men and women talking, mixed with the laughter of children.He wanted to walk over to have a look, but his legs were motionless as if rooted on the ground.Finally, he stepped back slowly and closed the door gently.

The next door was the house he had rented in high school.After the next door is the dormitory where the university lived for two years.Lu You didn't continue to open the door, he started running in the corridor that kept going forward.The floor of the corridor was very slippery. He almost fell several times, and he ran for a long time without seeing the end.There was a door opening behind him, and something seemed to come out of those apparently empty rooms.Fear caused Lu You to speed up his pace again, not daring to slow down and rushed past the corner where the corridor ahead finally appeared, and then almost screamed when his arm was grabbed.

The person who held him back was Qi Zhengyun.The man has a worried expression on his face. "Why did you come to such a dangerous place!" He held Lu You's hand tightly, "Come with me, I'll take you out of here!"

The corridor in front turned into a staircase at some point. There were no handrails on both sides of the staircase, and the gray cement steps spiraled downwards in circles.Lu You was involuntarily pulled by Qi Zhengyun, striding down the steps, his vision shaking violently, making him feel dizzy.What are we hiding from?Where are you going to escape?He wanted to ask Qi Zhengyun, but he was panting more and more violently while running, and he couldn't find a chance to ask.

The stairs spiraled downwards infinitely, and the side was like a cliff. Lu You tried to look down while running, only to see that the hollow in the center of the stairs seemed to lead to the abyss, and as the distance increased, it continued to shrink until it was completely dark.He staggered due to distraction, and almost tripped on the edge of the stairs, but fortunately, Qi Zhengyun pulled him up in time.The man grabbed him so hard that Lu You felt that the bones in his wrist were about to be crushed, but he didn't feel any pain.There was an indescribable resistance in his heart, and he kept wanting to slow down, but Qi Zhengyun forcefully dragged him to run in front, making him unable to even make a sound, let alone stop or break free.

There is a strange feeling...

Lu You felt that someone was watching him.Very uncomfortable stare.He didn't see anyone along the way, and the stalker who made Qi Zhengyun so nervous to run away behind him didn't make any footsteps—does the so-called stalker really exist?It was very dangerous to do this while running on the stairs, and finally Lu You couldn't help but look back.

There was nothing on the stairs behind me.Then Lu You realized that the eyes that fell on him came from above.He raised his head and looked up, and saw Qi Zhengyun pulling the stairs he had already run to form a spiral with a narrow bottom and a wide top. Around the top circle of the spiral, there were crowds of white faces.

The faces were distant and pale, looking down at him from the edge of the stairs.Lu You saw Yuan Xiaoxiao, Aunt Zhou Chen, young mother, high school classmates and college roommates.All of the faces were as rigid as death, and the eyes were two dark hollows.They looked at Lu You, all of them were expressionless.Lu You's breathing stopped, his steps were confused for a moment, and then he lost his foot and fell down the stairs.

The stairs disappeared.Lu You felt his body keep falling in the void.The shackle-like force on the wrist still existed, and Lu You belatedly realized the hardness and coldness of the touch—it was definitely not Qi Zhengyun's hand.At the edge of his peripheral vision, a huge mass of darkness squirmed and fell with him.He couldn't help looking at his wrist, and saw the black hard scales, and the flexible and curled limb ends; the darkness couldn't wait to rush over and drown him, and immediately brought him to the ground heavily.

Lu You gasped and woke up from the nightmare.The extremely real feeling of falling made his lungs tighten, and his ears were filled with the sound of a violent heartbeat. It took him a long time to recover in the dimness after he opened his eyes.The pressure on his chest didn't go away with the nightmare—the person who slept with him was almost wrapped around him, holding him tightly, with an arm stretched across to press down on his chest.Lu You took a deep breath, expelled the remaining panic from the nightmare from his mind, tried his best to free his arm from Qi Zhengyun's arms, and pushed his arm angrily.

Why is this guy's sleeping position getting worse and worse... entwined so hard like an octopus, it caused him to have nightmares...

After waking up, Lu You had completely forgotten the content of the nightmare, only a feeling of horror remained.Qi Zhengyun moved and moved his arms away. Lu You's eyes, which had adapted to the dim light, saw the man sleeping next to him open his eyes. "Why did you wake up?" He asked in a low voice, propped himself up, and raised his hand to touch Lu You's side face, "Sweating so much...Did you dream about something bad?"

Qi Zhengyun's expression and voice didn't have the feeling of drowsiness after being woken up, and he was sober as if he had never fallen asleep.Lu You didn't know if he was too sensitive, even such a small detail made him a little uncomfortable-similar to the time when Qi Zhengyun left home on a business trip and agreed to come back the next day, but Lu You woke up halfway through the night When he came over, he found that Qi Zhengyun was standing by the bed looking at him the same way.

That time, Lu You was really taken aback. It felt like a perverted move in a horror movie.Although Qi Zhengyun later apologized several times for this, saying that he just came back early and didn't want to wake him up, and thought his expression after falling asleep was cute, so he stayed by the bed for a while, unexpectedly he woke up suddenly ... Lu You tried to persuade himself to forget about this matter, but it still feels weird every time he thinks about it.

Something is wrong with my boyfriend.In fact, that was the most obvious time for Lu You, but it wasn't the first time Lu You noticed it.Thinking back several times, Lu You suspects that the change should have started when he was a sophomore: when he was approaching the summer vacation, he was taken away by a speeding car on the road, although the result was that the belt was broken and there was nothing wrong with him. None, Qi Zhengyun still showed an attitude towards his safety as if he was facing a formidable enemy.Under his insistence, Lu You finally moved out of the dormitory before finishing the semester—the new home was bought by Qi Zhengyun near the company where he worked. Afterwards, Lu You experienced something that he didn't even enjoy in elementary school. The life of being picked up and dropped off every day.

It seems a bit hypocritical to say that I feel not free because I have been taken care of so well.But... Lu You didn't know how to express it.Before that, his relationship with his roommates had become good, and he would be pulled out by them to have dinner and play basketball together in class, and there were more and more people who could talk to him in the club.But he hasn't had time to confirm whether he likes such social activities with many people together. After moving, the relationship is naturally alienated, and there are some gossips secretly passed on by boring people. Later, the pace of his life gradually returned to original track.

Dissociated from the group, attending and leaving get out of class alone, the team members of the group work wait for the rest to be randomly assigned.If there is something that needs to be done with someone else, as long as that person can be Qi Zhengyun, it will basically be Qi Zhengyun.

Lu You was actually not particularly disgusted with Qi Zhengyun's interference in his social life, after all, he later found out that he seemed to be really unlucky in this regard.When he was a freshman, a senior in the club took the initiative to approach him and enthusiastically helped him, but that senior disappeared from the school not long after—it wasn't just an accident, but he was arrested for committing something.Lu You thinks differently, and feels that it is reasonable for Qi Zhengyun to pay extra attention to the people around him if he has such a "previous record", but being noticed by him is probably a very stressful thing, causing those who have no problems They also consciously disappeared...

Lu You wanted to sigh just thinking about it.Qi Zhengyun probably didn't know what he was slandering in his heart, so he touched his shoulder lightly, trying to comfort him to sleep for a while.But when he touched this man, he forgot his original intention, and started to move around, and leaned over to kiss him again.The air conditioner was on in the room, and it was still too hot to be together under the thin quilt. Lu You asked Qi Zhengyun to kiss him for a while, although he felt that he would have nightmares, except for being pressed to his chest and the pressure brought by Qi Zhengyun's increasingly clingy behavior recently. It doesn't matter, I still don't plan to argue with him.

The curtains were opened a slit, and it was already bright outside. Lu You didn't want to sleep anymore, and didn't want to do much, and wanted to get up after lying down for a while.He originally wanted Qi Zhengyun to sleep a little longer, and today he came to make breakfast, but Qi Zhengyun had already sat up with him.Lu You went to wash in his pajamas, Qi Zhengyun went to the kitchen for a while, squeezed into the bathroom, pressed Lu You on the sink from behind, and lightly bit his neck a few times, as if he hadn't given up on taking advantage of the morning. thoughts.Under his persistent harassment, Lu You struggled to finish brushing his teeth and washing his face. When he wrung the towel, he couldn't stand it. He turned around and put the towel on Qi Zhengyun's face, squeezed past him and slipped out.

It would take several hours for his waist to be soft at a time. He didn't want to make Qi Zhengyun so tossed so early in the morning, and he had to go to work later.Lu You went to the kitchen, the porridge on the gas stove was gurgling with a small fire, and there was a pleasant smell of rice.He opened the refrigerator and looked around, deciding to make a simple bacon okra wrap with two hard-boiled eggs.It didn't take long for Qi Zhengyun to come over with a smell of shaving foam, and before he had time to speak when standing next to him, the two heard a dog barking from downstairs.

The downstairs neighbor a few floors away bought a chihuahua last week, and kept it in a cage on the balcony. It started barking every day before dawn, and it could last for more than an hour without stopping.Lu You knew that someone had already come to talk to that family member and complained about the property. The family member smiled face to face and promised to pay attention in the future. It has been more than a week and they still go their own way.Lu You's job used to be to go to the company at will, as long as he could submit the translation on time. Recently, he was forced to go out to work every day, and he used the barking of the dog as an alarm clock in the morning—fortunately, the chihuahua didn't bark at night. Otherwise... Lu You would have to worry that Qi Zhengyun would come to trouble them.

The barking of the dog today was not as energetic as usual. It whimpered and stopped barking for a while, and then suddenly barked desperately after a while.In Lu You's mind, a puppy appeared on four legs, bluffing in fear of threats.He got a headache from the noise and asked Qi Zhengyun to close the kitchen window. Qi Zhengyun stood by the window and looked at it for a while. After a few seconds, the dog barking stopped abruptly, and the surroundings suddenly returned to silence.

"Stop barking." Qi Zhengyun said.He turned around as if nothing had happened, and Lu You took out the bowls and chopsticks from the disinfection cabinet and was about to serve porridge, but he stepped in to take them.Lu You is too lazy to argue with him that the last time he was scalded when serving the soup was just a small probability event caused by his carelessness. He thinks that if Qi Zhengyun raises a child, he will definitely be the kind of child who will never do it again if he fails to do it once. Let the touch, and eventually turn the child into a wasteful over-spoiled parent.Even he had the experience of living independently before, and after being taken care of like this for several years, he couldn't help but worry about his future.

After dinner, Qi Zhengyun went to wash the dishes, and Lu You turned on the mobile app to listen to the English news. While listening, he mopped the floor, then wrote it down from memory, and then compared it with the original text.This is the training that the seniors in the company asked him to do every day when he was with him, and he didn't let go of this habit after the seniors left.More than half a year ago, all parts of the world were not very peaceful. The news was full of earthquakes, tsunamis, cold waves and volcanic eruptions every day, which made the theory of doomsday popular again for a while, triggering several rounds of panic buying and fundraising for disaster relief.In the last month, I haven't heard of anything happening again. It has finally rained in a place that has been dry for a long time.

Until Lu You finished his daily training, the dog downstairs didn't bark anymore, which made him hesitate: Why don't you go to the company today?It takes a while to get back and forth.Everything he has to do is in the computer, and he can finish it at home and send it to the team leader for acceptance.Qi Zhengyun was cleaning the kitchen sink. Lu You called him from the dining room and asked him, "Aren't you going to work today?"

Qi Zhengyun's work is more free and unrestrained than his, and he frequently changes jobs. Lu You often doesn't know what he is doing recently. At first, he was a little suspicious and asked him for a salary card, or called him when he was at work, worried that he would I won't be doing strange things, and I won't care about it after a few times.The sound of wiping things in the kitchen stopped, "Aren't you going to work today?" Qi Zhengyun asked him back.

"I'm a little too lazy to go out..." Lu You said, opening the work memo to confirm what to do today.Qi Zhengyun gave a "hmm" and then continued to wipe.This kind of response was not what Lu You expected: he knew that if he didn't go to work, Qi Zhengyun would most likely stay at home together.He had an urge to say something, but finally held back his words, but he couldn't hold back a slight sigh.

He really likes Qi Zhengyun... From high school to the few years after graduation from university, this feeling has never subsided, and Qi Zhengyun has always attached great importance to him and cared about him in detail, but this kind of concern is becoming more and more It was getting heavier and heavier, oppressing him like an arm across his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.Lu You can't quite remember how long ago it was the last time he went out alone, Qi Zhengyun always followed him like a shadow, wishing he could handcuff Lu You on his wrists.Lu You even felt that Qi Zhengyun's words were implying that he should not go to work a few times—even though Lu You worked in the same office building as him.

Lu You didn't talk to Qi Zhengyun anymore, he went into the study and left the door open - otherwise Qi Zhengyun would knock on the door with an excuse later.He was about to get used to this kind of life, and he felt a little unbelievable when he thought about it.Lu You thought about the Ban Ju proposal he saw in the high school class group last night, and thought that since Yuan Xiaoxiao went abroad to study graduate school after graduation, they hadn't contacted each other again.That irreparable rift first appeared when Lu You chose to obey Qi Zhengyun and move out of the dormitory... If she knew what Qi Zhengyun is doing now, what would she say?

Just say that you will ask for trouble—the girl's angry voice seemed to be heard in Lu You's ear.He smiled subconsciously, and at the same time he was depressed to find that he still couldn't produce any emotions like regret.Qi Zhengyun's behavior will continue to intensify, is it also encouraged by his almost acquiescent attitude?

He turned on the laptop on the table and pressed the power button.When he sat down, Lu You caught a glimpse of something next to the pen holder.He reached up and picked it up: it was a dusty conch shell, speckled with red, mold-like spots, and a crack that ran from top to bottom.In the summer vacation before going to university, he and Qi Zhengyun traveled to the island and became lovers on their birthday. This ugly conch was a souvenir brought back from that trip. Lu You carried it with him for nearly two years, until the car accident When the rope broke, the conch fell to the ground and broke the crack.

The amulet talk...maybe it's true.So Lu You kept it and didn't throw it away.He took a wet towel and wiped the surface of the shell, and found that the gray layer was not dust, but had penetrated into the shell, as if it had been dehydrated and weathered.As the young man on the island said, changing the color to remind you when danger comes, even if it could have been done, it probably won't be able to do it now.

Lu You took the conch in his hand and looked at it over and over for a while, what appeared in front of his eyes was the surface of the sea with fluorescent jellyfish floating under the moonlight.When we got close enough, Qi Zhengyun said, maybe you will find me unbearable.Steam rose from the boiling sea to the sky, and their hands were clasped tightly.Cunning person... I don't know how many times Lu You thought this way.But he was hopelessly relented.

He put the cleaned shell back to its original place, and touched the keyboard to enter the password to turn it on.Just then his cell phone rang, and it was the leader of the working group calling from the company.This concise phone call lasted only half a minute. After hanging up, Lu You reluctantly turned off the computer again, packed up his things, and prepared to go out to the company for a meeting.

Lu You came out of the study and saw Qi Zhengyun sitting at the dining table with a book upside down on the table. "Still going to work?" He said as if he had expected it, and then stood up without waiting for Lu You's answer, "I'll take you there."

"Don't you have to go to work today?" Lu You said without any hope, "You stay at home and wash your clothes, just take out to dry while the sun is good." But Qi Zhengyun has already taken the car keys quickly , went to the door to change shoes.Lu You dawdled past, Qi Zhengyun opened the door, turned his head and kissed Lu You's face, "I'll come back to wash later." He said with a smile, "Anyway, I have nothing to do today."

If you want to go to work, I will drop you off on the way; if you don’t go to work, I will drop you off when you have nothing to do—it makes sense.Lu You rolled his eyes at Qi Zhengyun's back, and followed the man to the elevator.After driving out of the underground garage and arriving at the company in a quarter of an hour, Lu You got down from behind the driver's seat with a computer bag on his back - this seat was always his exclusive seat - and was stopped by Qi Zhengyun when he was about to leave.The man lowered the window glass of the driver's seat and looked at Lu You with a smile, "Did you forget something?" He asked.

Lu You stood and watched him for a while, but after all, unable to resist Qi Zhengyun's pitiful expression, he leaned over and kissed him from the car window.Only then did Qi Zhengyun say goodbye to him with satisfaction, and sat in the car to watch him walk to the door of the office building.Before Lu You swiped his card to enter the door, he turned his head again. Qi Zhengyun stretched out his hand and shook it out of the window. Although Lu You had a disgusted expression on his face, he raised his hand and waved at him, then turned and walked in the door.

When Lu You's figure disappeared, the smile on Qi Zhengyun's face also disappeared.He didn't turn around and go home immediately, but showed a tired expression, leaned back on the seat back, and looked out the front window with a slight frown, staring at the distant sky that was fragmented by tall buildings.

The sky was cloudless, and there seemed to be no trace of haze.

Twenty minutes later, Qi Zhengyun came home and heard the dog downstairs barking again.
