gentle collapse

I think the choice is in Zhang Ran's hands: "Whether you tell him or not is up to you."

Zhang Ran kept looking out of the window, and didn't intend to speak. Although Chen Wei had a puzzled expression, he stood there firmly, silent with Zhang Ran.I took the change out of the drawer and went out to close the door so they could talk.

Outside, Ke Ke and my father had left, leaving only my mother, Xie Yu and Zheng Yi.

"I'm going out to buy groceries, you and your classmates should stay at home and have a chat." She picked up the bag on the sofa and said to them, "Help Auntie persuade him."

Zheng Yi and Xie Yu nodded, walked to my side, pressed one of my shoulders, and asked me to sit down.

Xie Yu asked me: "What are you going to do next?"

"What are you going to do to me next?" I looked at the hands of the two of them who were still holding my shoulders, and reminded, "You have to go to class this afternoon."

"If I want to stop you, any iron chain can trap you at home. You see, now that you have left Coco, your dad is clearly packing his bags and coming to live with you, but in fact he is not here to see Hold on to you. If no one helps you, it will be difficult for you to do anything alone, right?" Xie Yu let go of his hand and took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket. I unfolded it and found that it was the structural diagram of the system company building.

I squeezed it nervously, looked at Xie Yu and Zheng Yi, Xie Yu said: "Every traveler who wants to go back will think of this place first, and I think you will be no exception. After all, this is the largest one in this city." Contradictory point. The government claims that it is unable to send the traverser back, but the system company has a stable machine that can be used to travel back and forth in time and space, but such a machine is not used internally. What kind of tricks are they playing? Or, no matter what they are in What the hell, we only want to use it for one purpose, and that is to get out of here. I participated in the protest march against the system company."

Zheng Yi continued: "So, if you want to start with a system company, you must first understand it. Don't rush it. Xie Yu discussed it with me just now. I think what he said is very reasonable. I will help you."

The piece of paper in my hand was crumpled badly, I stretched it vigorously, and said to them: "Thank you, but don't delay your future because of my affairs..."

"Do you think I still have a future?" Xie Yu asked me back, and then said unhurriedly, "Ke Ke always told me before that she would not restrain me and let me not give up the hope of going back. But last time I When she was in custody, she begged me for the first time to stop doing those things. For her sake, I withdrew from the organization and disposed of all the materials that should be thrown away and burned. I think I've lost myself in the question of whether I should go back or not, but I think you don't have this question. I understand your feelings, and this is the first reason I want to help you. You are a friend of Coco. It's the second one, it's that simple. But the chance of success, I tell you, is almost zero. Are you still going to do it?"

"Yes." I nodded affirmatively, "Thank you."

"Brothers, don't talk about these nonsense." Zheng Yi patted me on the shoulder and said to me, "Actually, I don't understand much, so I just listened to Xie Yu. Anyway, he has experience, so I will help. Literally, just do it."

I thought of Zheng Yi talking about the dream in a slightly regretful tone just now, and felt a little uncomfortable.He is a carefree person, and he always speaks straightforwardly, which is rarely the case.

"God, Lin An, don't make such an expression, it's creepy...don't become a sentimental girl, look at this frowning, it's ugly." He looked at Xie Yu and said me, but he His nose was flushed, and his voice was unexpectedly choked up.Xie Yu looked at him inexplicably, and then came back to me and said, "I'm going to find some friends who have served the system this weekend. Let's discuss countermeasures and see if there is any way to get any clues. What are you doing in the past few days? Come to school and let your dad feel at ease, otherwise he won't let you move freely."

I agreed to come down and got up to send them out.When they were about to go out, I stood in front of Zheng Yi and watched him.Zheng Yi noticed something, and slowed down the movement of putting on his shoes, waiting for me to speak.

How did Zheng Yi and I meet?At that time, I had just entered high school, went to school early in the morning, and walked through a few roads.He was carrying a schoolbag, standing in front of a store, talking to the boss.The smile on his face appeared and stagnated for a while, looking a little embarrassed.I know that he is my classmate, but I am not familiar with him. When I meet an unfamiliar classmate on the street, my usual way of handling it is to turn my face away and pretend not to see him.

I turned my head stiffly and looked the other way.After walking a few steps, I saw him rushing towards the opposite side of the street.I looked back at the boss, who looked out with a complicated expression, and then bent down to put things.That was really the most curious stage in my life. I watched Zheng Yi run in the opposite direction from the school, stopped on the spot, thought for a while, and followed.

He didn't run very far, and squatted down behind the garbage dump at the corner of the street, crying hard.He saw me walking towards him, picked up a pile of garbage and threw it towards me, telling me to get out.The kitchen waste was sticky and rotten on the ground. He coughed a few times and said, "It stinks." He stood up, moved to the side, and squatted down again.

I told him, "It's time for class."

"Who are you?" He cried until I interrupted him halfway, looking very upset, he wiped his face with his hands, and came over with a punch.I didn't expect him to hit me, and I got a solid hit on the face.My personality is soft but tough. If someone punches me, I will definitely kick him back.

As a result, we finished playing, and the school time was long past, and the two of them sat on the side of the road with a bruised nose and a swollen face.Zheng Yi asked me: "Why did I hit you just now?"

"How do I know?" I was a little angry, my body was in pain, and I muttered in my heart, and I didn't dare to meddle in my own business anymore.

"But you hit harder than I did." He pointed to the injury with a sideways face and showed me, "I haven't had breakfast yet, so paying a few dollars for medical expenses is not too much, right?"

When he was eating noodles in the restaurant, he kept blowing his nose, his eyes became red while eating, and then he caught a glimpse of me looking at him, and then lowered his head again.His hands were trembling a little, his face was flushed, and he seemed to be in a strange physical condition.After he finished eating, I found a public phone booth to ask the teacher for leave.I can't remember how I spent that day with him. Anyway, at night, he took out some change from his schoolbag and said to give it back to me.

I didn't know until much later what he knew that day.He originally thought that his parents were divorced, and his father opened a shop in No. [-] Middle School. He would not see him a few times throughout the year, so he got into No. [-] Middle School and came to find his father.Then his father told him that he had nothing to do with him, that he was a time traveler who passed on to Zheng Yi's father, which was the reason why he and Zheng Yi's mother divorced.

The shop opened by the traveler is not doing very well. Sometimes Zheng Yi will let me go there to buy something, and continue to walk slowly, and then wait for me to catch up with him.

At this moment, he put on his shoes and waited for me for a long time.I didn't know how to speak, so I patted him on the back."I still go to that store to buy things," he said.

"Maybe there's a chance to get your dad back too?"

"You and I both know that it's impossible. I'm helping you do an impossible thing, because you won't give up until you finish it." Zheng Yi said, "Why do you all look at the world with conspiracy theories? I I can only see its powerlessness."

I said, "At least for now, I can't give up."

Zheng Yi laughed and kicked me: "Good job."

After saying goodbye to Zheng Yi, I smiled and took a deep breath, then carefully folded the blueprint in my hand and put it back in my pocket.I don't know how Zhang Ran and Chen Wei are talking, why haven't they come out for so long?

I pushed open the door and saw Chen Wei kissing my brother.

That's not my brother, that's Zhang Ran.I repeated this sentence in my mind several times, and I still had an impulse to push Chen Wei aside, grabbed his clothes and threw him against the wall, staring at him fiercely: "Don't treat my brother Do something like this."

"I'm not your brother." Zhang Ran held my shoulder behind his back, wanting me to let go of Chen Wei.

"Then let me say it again, don't do this kind of thing to my brother's body." I pushed Chen Wei against the wall again, and looked back at Zhang Ran, "He will hurt you in the future."

"That is the future that I have never experienced at all." Zhang Ran looked at me with my brother's eyes, which made me unable to refuse, "I am only 15 years old, and the person I like told me that he also likes me."

"But..." I hesitated to speak, and felt that Chen Wei was pulling my hand away.

But I can't tolerate the current situation. They kissed on the first day they met, what about the second and third day?What are they going to do with my brother's body?

Chen Wei said to me: "The soul is the key to determine a person's identity. If your brother transmigrated into someone else's body and came to you, would you recognize him? I think you have the answer."

I shook my head and threw Chen Wei out with all my strength.Zhang Ran watched me from behind, and as soon as I saw him, the scene of him and Chen Wei's lips touching each other flashed back to my mind.My brother's nose was lightly touching Chen Wei's cheek, his eyes were closed, and his fingers were embedded in him.If my brother knew that he had kissed a man ten years younger than himself, he would definitely find it difficult to accept it.

Anger was running through me, stomping on my guts, but I couldn't blame anyone.Because what they say is also true.Can I keep Zhang Ran?Do I have the right to keep Zhang Ran?He can completely apply to sever the relationship with me and return to Chen Wei's side.

by that time……

I can't let that moment come.I closed my eyes and went back to my bedroom.

"Lin An, I want to talk to you about Chen Wei." Zhang Ran tried to grab me from behind, I shook him off, opened the bedroom window and said to him, "We'll talk about it when I come back."

I stepped on the window frame, doubled back, put on my ID, and jumped out.

I sat again in the first-floor lobby of the Systems Building, filling out forms.After I handed in the form, I looked around nervously.If I bump into the staff member from last time, I will definitely be exposed, because the name written on my ID card is not Zhang Dawei.

The staff looked at me with the ID in hand, compared it, and then took out a red tag to fill in the information.

"Tomorrow morning at 07:30, wait on the row of seats outside the security guard to take you up, no waiting after the deadline."
