Desire to monopolize

To be in this room, to be free, all this is incomprehensible.

His gaze unconsciously wandered around the room looking for Zhenyang.Was it Zhenyang who untied the strip?But judging from what he did, it was really hard to think so.

Then, suddenly, I noticed something on the table.

My cheeks stiffened at what came into view.He stretched out his trembling hand and picked it up tremblingly.

"Mobile phone, why..., it should be thrown away"

Without a doubt, it was my phone that was thrown from the balcony.

In other words, when she was hugged by Zhenyang in the dormitory, she heard the ringing of the phone.Although it is hazy and impossible to be sure, it should be this phone that is ringing.And what was in the dream just now?

Not only is there a mobile phone on the table, but also my half-prepared travel bag, just put there intact. ……Very good.In short, as long as you take these and leave home, there will always be a way later.

Standing up and taking the travel bag, he noticed a stack of papers underneath.Heavy, heavy paper clipped.

—It’s a proof.

I couldn't stop stepping back.

That was indeed the proof that Zhen Yang tore up.

However, far from being torn, the proofs on the table were not even wrinkled.I had goosebumps all over my body.Why.

Picking up the proofs tremblingly, flipping through them.

The wonderful article flew into my eyes, and I stopped.

"What's this"

Looking at the proof that I had clearly read many times, I was amazed.

Just reading it once doesn't mean it's confirmed.It is necessary to read repeatedly to confirm whether there is any omission or misplanting.To this end, I have reread the proofs three times.

...But, it's weird.

"Scenes like this never existed"

I put on my glasses hastily.

As if sticking to the proofs, I confirmed every word.

Among them, an unfinished chapter suddenly appeared.I couldn't believe my eyes and rubbed my nails repeatedly.But the content did not disappear, it was clearly printed there.

It is neither a mistake nor an illusion.

The agitation beat fast, and I read on.

That is, the scene where the protagonist of the novel goes out to the park with his family.

The protagonist, his younger brother, his mother, ... and his father, who usually lives elsewhere because of work, go out together.In her mother's hand was a basket full of food.As long as there is a father, the mother will be gentle with the protagonist.When they looked at each other, the boy would smile back.

The boy and his younger brother walked on the ground covered with cherry blossom petals.Feeling like I was playing a prank, I looked at my brother and smiled——.

I couldn't resist throwing the proofs out.Agitation frantically beating.

"Liar, why, because, this is"

This is not what the novel is about.is my memory.Childhood memories of going out with Jinyang, father, and stepmother.

The cherry blossoms in full bloom are beautiful.

Adventure in the huge amusement park with my brother.

Stepmother smiled at me.

I know.Yes, all know.No matter which one, it is my memory.

However, I don't know why it is written in the proofs.And I've read it so many times without seeing the episode.Sudden increase?How can it be.I'm the only one who has ever touched this proof.

"……Well"

Trying to hold back the feeling of vomiting, he covered his mouth with his hands desperately.

What is going on, I don't understand at all.The small doubts that have surfaced so far are now clogging my heart like a huge rock.It can no longer be said to be an illusion.

Then, suddenly, I noticed something.

I don't know what the due date is for this job.

...why didn't I think of this.In terms of content, most of the work is handed in within a week or so.When did I start reading this proof sheet.

It seems like I started watching it a few years ago, and it seems like I just started watching it yesterday.My sense of time is decidedly weird.

In a panic, I checked the calendar hanging on the wall that recorded the appointment.

It was a big thing that was immediately visible as soon as he looked up from the table.The work I took over and the future schedule will be recorded on the calendar as soon as there is any change.

However, nothing was recorded on the calendar.

I flipped through the next month and the next month, but I still didn't write anything.The same goes for the previous months.Like just bought new.

Then, the date of the calendar is very far away.

The one with the Gregorian calendar on it was 18 years ago.

18 years ago.

At that time, I was ten years old.

ten years old.

The same age as the protagonist of the novel.

Reality and fiction overlap, and my reality seems to have become ambiguous.The points in common with me scattered on the proof sheet.What is the meaning contained in it.

——As if to say, this boy is me.

"……How can it be"

Because, the person who went to the picnic with me was not my mother, but Zhenyang's.

I was 12 when my father remarried, it must have happened after I was 12, otherwise it would be weird.

Moreover, Zhenyang is a child brought by his stepmother, and we hadn't met when we were ten years old.

"what is going on"

I staggered to my feet and walked toward the living room.

Feeling sick, pacing the room inexplicably.Without any room for thinking, I picked up my mobile phone and called people who had recorded mobile phone numbers one by one.

My father, stepmother, brother Yiji who was hospitalized, other people I had little contact with, shops and government agencies that were only registered on the above, all contacted.

However, no one answered.

Only beeps, shaking my empty eardrums.

I squatted on the ground impatiently and hugged my knees.

"What's going on...why, no one can contact you"

I gripped my phone tightly and buried my face in my lap.

Is it simply a malfunction?However, there was a dialing sound.I got a call once and no one answered when I called.

Everyone is fine now, and I want to talk to people.

...Only one person, only Zhenyang, I haven't beaten yet.

When I thought that I could only contact Zhenyang, I was too scared to fight.Also too scared to think about the meaning.

I also noticed something strange before.There are too many places that don't make sense.

I can no longer figure out what is right and what is wrong.All very strange.Be it Zhenyang, or me, it's all very strange.

Is this really realistic.

what's wrong with me.

The living room is filled with soft afternoon sunlight and a sense of serene stillness.The peaceful air of spring and summer wraps around my stiff body.

It's like, I'm the only one in this world, quiet.

The wind blew in through the slightly open window, gently blowing the curtains.In the gentle early summer breath, I felt strongly dazzled.

I clenched my phone tightly and staggered towards the corridor.

Now I just want to leave this house as soon as possible.
