gentle collapse

When the group disbanded, I privately brought out a souvenir.

I don't like this book, and the only reason I brought it out is because I think it belongs to me, and I have the right to dispose of it.In fact, I think its best destination is to be burned. Those parts that I didn't have time to look at, or refused to look at, I won't need it in the future.My own life, I should experience it myself.

Also, things didn't all go the way that book says.At least my brother is back.

The day I brought it back, I randomly stuffed it into a box under the desk, and the box was a bit torn.Over time, I just forgot about it, and it didn't matter anyway.I think about it again, because I was mixing Chinese patent medicine powder for my brother at that time, and it took a while to drink after boiling water.I sat down at the desk, had nothing to do, glanced down, and dragged the box out.

I remember at 300+ pages I would meet my other half and marry her and have kids.It now appears that these contents are unlikely to be realized.In my memory, the time when I met her seemed to be before I went to meet He Yuchen, has it all passed?

I turned to page 371, and it said the scene where my brother and I made dumplings together.

how come……

I hurriedly turned forward and saw familiar content.Broken phone, cat, me holding my brother's hand...book rewritten?I sniffed the book closer, but I didn't smell the peculiar smell of a new book.

"Are you reviewing?" My brother walked in at some point and put down a cup of tea. "The weather is fine today, let's go for a walk."

I looked out, and the sky was blue.

Since then, I have often dreamed that I was walking backwards, that the flowers burned their original colors from the rotten juice, and that the compiled puzzles showed their original answers.When I dreamed that I was looking down at the silver light, I jumped down again.After a long fall, I opened my eyes and found that the place I arrived was not the library.

The room was terribly empty, with no doors and windows, and the main tone was black and red.A strange video was playing on a huge screen.A person wearing earphones clicked his mouse impatiently, close-up of the front, with a messy background, he cursed in a low voice: "Damn, it's stuck with a bug again, there are too many bugs in this game."

I turned around and saw six LCD screens on the other wall, three in a row, two corresponding.Each screen is fixed on a different screen, and there are several options in the middle of the screen, and the year, month, and day are clearly written in the lower left corner.Looks like a game's save screen.

There was another voice in the following video, and the tone was different from the previous one: "Restart."

The voice of the person wearing the earphone: "It has been restarted many times, but it doesn't work at all. I thought I would print out the ninth happy ending, but as soon as I read the file, I got stuck at Lin An and jumped into Yinguang."

I heard my name and saw my face hidden by the options.On the first screen in the lower left corner it says:

"But what you didn't expect was that you were late on Monday. The alarm clock may have been forgotten, but why didn't Lin Jing call you? You hurriedly dressed, pushed open his door, and found that the bed was bulging A ball, obviously he's not up either. You decide:

A. Ignore the matter of being late for school for the time being, and care about why Lin Jing didn't go to work.

B. Going to school is important. "

I remember, I chose to go directly to school.At that time, if I chose to care about why my brother didn't go to work, it is likely that he would confess that he was unemployed.We don't hide things from each other, and later fights are less likely to happen.

And the point is, is this my choice?Or is this just a mouse move by the guy in the back with the headset?I listened to the voice behind me while looking at the other screens.In the upper left corner, on the first screen, I looked like I was only a few years old, standing in front of the door with a wound on my face, facing the option of looking for my father or my brother first after entering.

The following dialogue is talking about: "There is a happy ending from Lin An's perspective? Isn't it said that they are all tragedies?"

"Hidden ending, a strategy that was recently published on the forum. It is said that when I was in the library, I chose not to read the original work, not to solve the puzzle, but to use the pile of equipment on the ground to break open the ground, assemble the hook, and hook it to the external He can still take the secret out, and he won’t lose his brother’s book called "Ink Darkness", so his brother can come back in time without brain damage."

"Who would have thought of this... Anyway, Lin An's perspective is a well-known pitfall. You have read all the strategies, and there is nothing interesting. You might as well uninstall the game, reinstall it, and play Liu Yuan's perspective, it is very brain-consuming. Yes, the plot is exciting."

Listening to those conversations that have no beginning and no end, but the actual content is very clear, the information in my brain is bombarded, I feel restless, my fingers tremble, touch the screen, there is a short button sound, and a prompt box pops up: " Are you sure you want to load the file?"

I didn't find the button to close the option in the upper right corner. Looking at my back when I was a few years old, I hesitated and clicked Yes.

The scene changed in an instant, I looked up and looked at the big iron gate that suddenly appeared, and felt some salty liquid dripping into the clothes on my chest.I'm useless, I'm not a man, I can't be calm and calm.In the face of repeated reincarnation-like reversals in life, we can only deny the value of self-existence time and time again.In fact, what is the difference between the changes I am facing?

There is no difference between people, people in novels and people in games.

Me and me, there is no difference.

It doesn't matter who I am, it doesn't matter whether the world is real or not.As a humble little character whose plot is written and manipulated by others, all I care about and want is such a simple thing, but I still can't get it.

I raised my hand and knocked on the door, wanting to welcome what belonged to me, the last episode before being unloaded.The door was unlocked and creaked open.I walked in and looked at the former home from a child's height perspective.The dining table was full of food, steaming, and there was a sound of water flowing in the kitchen, mixed with high and low voices.I went into my brother's room.

At this time, he may not be twenty yet, and he is sitting at the desk, not knowing what he is holding.

I called him: "Brother."

He was startled, glanced back, saw me and hurriedly folded the knife in his hand, besides the silver reflection, I also saw red.He took the toilet paper and pressed it randomly on his hand, then walked up to me and squatted down: "Didn't you say to go out to play with friends? Why did you get beaten again? Who beat you, tell me."

I didn't respond, and pressed my hand on the paper wrapped around his wrist, which was something I didn't understand many years ago.

"Crying like this and refusing to say who beat you..." He uncovered the piece of paper, crumpled it up and threw it away, and picked me up.I hugged him tightly, and understood the significance of the option of looking for him or my dad first after entering the door.Fortunately, the line in his hand was very shallow, just a reddish line.

He put me on the floor of the bathroom, put warm water on it, soaked and wrung out the veil, and wiped my face.

"I will protect you." He patted my dusty coat and said seriously, "Don't be afraid of them."

I didn't know how to answer, but I had to imitate the tone of a few-year-old child and say something: "Sometimes you are not here..."

"I'll always be here," he promised.

He put the towel down, held my back, and walked out of here with me.In the living room, my parents and my late grandma were all sitting around, beckoning us to sit down.The Spring Festival Gala on TV has just started, the sound of firecrackers outside is sparse, and the steamed fish on the table, which symbolizes the surplus every year, is rarely touched by anyone.

"Lin An did well in the final exam this time. What gift do you want? Mom will buy it for you."

Everything I want is here.

"I want to make a phone call." I suddenly thought of something, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and walked to the landline, hoping that Zheng Yi's family hadn't changed the number.

The phone was dialed, and it was Zheng Yi's mother who answered the phone. After Zheng Yi took the phone, he gave a hello.I said, "Happy New Year." He happily replied Happy New Year, without even questioning who I was, obviously thinking of me as one of his classmates.His cheerful tone lifted my spirits up.

I went back to my seat and sat with a hill piled up in the bowl. My brother patted my head lightly, lowered his head, and asked me, "Will you watch the night with me tonight?" "Yes."

He and I were covered with a quilt and nestled together on the sofa.He pushed a hat over my head, turned and closed the window, saying, "Be careful not to catch a cold." He put his hands under the covers and relaxed his shoulders.His body is warm, warming me.It turns out that I once had such a moment.

Suddenly, the lights went out, but the TV light was still bright.My brother covered my eyes with one hand, and whispered to me: "Guess what present my parents prepared for you?"

Yes, today is also my birthday, and it has been many years.And their gift, besides cake, what else could it be?I don't like to eat such sweet things.However, I still laughed.Like a person with a dream in his arms, he finally got what he dreamed of.

Only not to be loved is bad luck, only not to be loved is misfortune.

And those established, cruel and chaotic plots are just a kind of mechanical operation, not really misfortune or bad luck.The people I love love me too, this is my destiny.

The author has something to say: After reading the file, the plot corresponds to Chapter 13:

"Are you ever scared too?" I asked him.

"At that time... I had a very strange idea, that is, I felt light and joyful about death. I wanted to commit suicide and not be controlled by others. At that time, the blade and tall buildings were covered with an ambiguous red color, It makes my heart pound. I'm not scared of it at all, it's the squishy feeling of stepping into the water."

"Have you tried it?"

"Yes, but..." he said, "At that time you were still young, and your height only reached my shoulders. I don't know why, but you were always beaten, and you didn't tell your family when you were beaten. You thought you wouldn't Say others can't see the wound on your face? Those stinky boys are young and short-tempered, and I can't beat them, so I have to talk to my parents. I thought, if I die, how can you manage."

☆、Extra: "Naked"

The author has something to say: He Yuchen's episode

Lin An told me that I am the second male lead in this novel, which means that no matter how hard I try, I cannot get what I want.He looked at the main and supporting roles column in the introduction, and my name and the name of the person I like are actually very close, only a vertical line and the word supporting role are separated.

He was wrong.

This mistake was born of a lie, and I will not tell the truth to anyone, not even myself, intending to chew it up and never see it again.

Before I chew it up, I want to say it again, one last time, from my perspective.

My name is He Yuchen, male, from Hunan, a junior engineering student.I read a book called "The Naked Horse", and then I entered the world of this book. I didn't know it at the time, but what I got was the script of the supporting role while wearing the protagonist's skin.

I like the character of Zhang Ran very much. If anyone dares to say that this book is a typical scumbag, I will definitely beat him to death.Chen Wei is a scum, but I don't allow others to call Zhang Ran cheap.Because of his persistence, devotion, and embarrassing unrequited love, I was deeply touched.In other words, I like the role of Zhang Ran because of an emotional resonance, and Zhang Ran and I are surprisingly similar in a certain aspect.

This can also explain why we fall in love with the same person.

Lin An said that the names of the person I like and I are actually very close, separated only by a vertical line and the word supporting role, he was wrong.There is Zhang Ran between me and Chen Wei.

When I first came here, I was in bed. In the morning, when I woke up, the door was pushed open, and a head came in and woke me up.My temples were swollen and painful, and I stood up with difficulty, looking around the unfamiliar environment, feeling puzzled and panicked in the exhaustion and powerlessness.I opened the door and went out. In the spacious and empty living room, the person who woke me up stood in front of the dining table and threw me a bag of bread. "Hurry up, we're going to be late, you can take the car with me today."

My brain was in a daze, my whole body was not right, and my throat was itchy from panting.I was pulled out of the door by him for unknown reasons, got into the car, sat side by side in the back seat, his arm was next to mine, like an old friend for many years.

"Return the math notes to you." He handed me a notebook, and the inside page of the note was written correctly: Zhang Ran, Class 14, Senior Three.

The name Zhang Ran... I am all too familiar with it.I turned my head away and saw him lowering his head slightly to my side, not knowing if he was looking at the notebook in my hand or something.I looked at a black mole on his right cheek next to the ear, and tentatively called out, "Chen Wei?"

He raised his head, looked at me with a smile, and waited for my next words.I sat up straight suddenly, tensed my back, and closed the notebook.The right hand on the notebook has distinct bones, and I know very well that the place where my soul lives is not my own body.

Have you ever experienced the feeling of pent-up anger being suddenly ignited, the gas expands, rolls, and stirs your head dizzily?Inexplicably, I entered a book that I didn't like very much. What's even more unbearable is that some of the characters I liked were replaced by myself, and my soul didn't know where it went.And the only person I know and can only deal with is trash to describe him as an insult to trash.

This scum, still pretending to be concerned, sent me to the classroom and put the bread on "my" desk.Waving back, smiling like I gave him 800 yuan.The girl in the front row flicked Liu Hai in the mirror, I glanced over inadvertently, and saw half of Zhang Ran's face.

How to do……

This place is undoubtedly a purgatory for me.

After finally getting through school, Chen Wei was waiting by the door again. I ignored him and walked outside. He followed me and walked behind me.I didn't know the way, and he didn't say anything like the wrong direction.When I entered the tunnel, my ears were filled with the roar of cars, and the air was stuffy and cool.We walked in tandem on the sidewalk by the tunnel without talking.I began to think that this situation was very strange.

He put his hand on my shoulder from behind, pushed me aside, pushed me against the tunnel wall, and kissed me suddenly.When I was frightened, I raised my arms and punched reflexively. Seeing his astonished face, I still felt puzzled, so I kicked him, and I regretted it the moment I stopped my foot.I kicked him off the aisle, and he was on the road, a motorcycle brushed over his head, and almost... If the guy hadn't swerved, his face would have been crushed by the tires.

He got up quickly, and I reached out and pulled him up.We were both out of breath and in shock.He looked at me for a while, bent down, and wanted to hold my hand. I almost wanted to yell and ask him if he was out of his mind, and he was still thinking about such things at this time.But I didn't, I pushed him and ran away like a loser.

Until I rushed out of the tunnel, after making seven turns, I looked up and saw a giant billboard that said: "If you feel that you have crossed, please ask pedestrians for the location of the Municipal Space-Time Bureau. Here, we Help you solve everything."

Words like this will be prompted every few hundred meters, for fear that others will not see it.

The staff didn't even lift their eyelids, dragged out a few pieces of paper, clicked twice with their fingernails, and prompted me to fill in the information.

I asked him: "Do you often have people who travel through time in this book?"

"Book? What book?" He picked up the blue brochure on the table, pointed at it, and asked me, "This one? It does record a lot of time travel cases, do you want to take it and read it?"

I repeated it again: "I traveled through time after reading a book called "The Naked Jacket."

He smiled: "I don't care what book you read to travel here, anyway, you are here, please abide by the laws and regulations here."

I silently filled out the materials and took the ID card.He also handed me a consent form for relationship disposal, and asked me to return it within three working days. The signature of "my" father was required on it, which meant that he had known the situation and confirmed that he would terminate the relationship with me.

I was delayed for two days, and found a job moving cement. On the third day, I had to find a way to return to Chen's family. As the novel says, his family is quite rich.I stood at the door and hesitated. When I came back this time, the news I brought was that his son was gone.I wiped my face and turned to leave.

Behind him, Chen Wei's shoulders were slumped, his back was slightly hunched, and he looked tired: "I'm looking for you."

I took out the ID card in my pocket and held it in front of him: "You know what this means, right?"

He snatched the ID card and looked it over and over several times.I hope that I see the light in his eyes only because of the reflection of the glass of the building behind me, or in other words, I hope that the person standing opposite him is Zhang Ran.Yes, I have noticed that Chen Wei is very different from the image in the book, he likes Zhang Ran, there is no doubt about it.

He returned the document to me, not knowing if it was because he was holding it too hard, he was shaking violently: "Don't tell Butler Zhang, he is not in good health recently."

I know that Zhang Ran's father will not live for a few years.

I nodded, left, shredded the documents and threw them into the trash can.I thought that I would never deal with Chen Wei again in my life.In fact, my life is almost ruined. Hopelessness is a negative thing. It consumes vitality and fighting spirit, and makes people feel at a loss.Usually at this time, the person will look for a short-term goal to divert attention.

I started to follow Chen Wei secretly, because I didn't think Chen Wei wanted to see me as an impostor, I wanted to find someone who had enough influence on Chen Wei, give him a hint, and ask him to prevent Chen Wei's death on my behalf.This is one of the few things I can do for Zhang Ran.So I found Lin An, but the relationship between Lin An and Chen Wei was also quite different from what was described in the book.

Who wrote that book?He used all his pen and ink to portray Chen Wei as despicable and ruthless, what was he trying to express?Maybe I misunderstood Chen Wei too much from the beginning.

Lin An told me that he was reborn.It turns out that this is the answer, a scum, living again, trying to make up for the mistakes of the previous life.What kind of bullshit logic is this?Those who died in the line of duty, those who died of kindness, those who made great contributions to society, can only return to ashes when they die.Why do people who do a lot of evil have an extra chance to live.

I am disappointed in Chen Wei.

Later, he came to me many times, stopped me on the road, surrounded me in the car, knocked on my door, and waited.Once, I even broke in through the window and slept on my bed. My curled up and tense body was not what it should be in a deep sleep.When it's time to strike, I'm never relentless.It's just that I was suddenly a little curious. He has treated me like nothing for a long time, so why has he become courteous again recently?

He stretched out his hand, pressed me standing by the bed into his arms, and said softly, "You are Zhang Ran. You want to leave me after rebirth, so you lied to me with your traveler ID."

I knocked him over to the edge of the bed, his legs bumped against the bedposts, and he squatted down in pain.I shook my head, picked up the desk lamp, and yelled at him viciously: "Get out!" I was indeed angry, but this feeling is different from pure anger. I can't explain this strange emotion by myself, I can only blame it Yu: I am really tired of his behavior to the point of unbearable.

So, when I saw the real Zhang Ran, I said to him: "You are the best, he is not worthy of you." Zhang Ran kept retorting, but I am still sure of this point.

So, when I met Chen Weilai coming to Lin An's house to look for Zhang Ran, I followed him, wanting to have some kind of overpowering struggle with him.When he said that nothing happened between me and him, I was stunned. I should refute that he was lying, but the kiss and hug between him and me felt strangely embarrassing when I said it now.In any case, I am the one who is ashamed, I am just a person with Zhang Ran's body, everything he did was not done to me.I cooperated with him and lied stammeringly.

He went on to say: "I don't care how you know about Zhang Ran and I, anyway, I am in love with him, don't you feel that you are redundant?"

It was at this moment that I understood something.Of course I am redundant, I am just a stone wrapped in your favorite candy wrapper for you.But stones can also hurt, Zhang Ran Zhang Ran Zhang Ran Zhang Ran, Zhang Ran is the only one in your world, I told you that I am no longer, why do you continue to invade my life self-righteously?Every Zhang Ran you yelled made me tremble with anger, and my heart was as if soaked in vinegar and then cut with a big knife, but it was meaningless.

My eyes never left Zhang Ran from the beginning.Zhang Ran said, "He Yuchen, I like Chen Wei."

I said, "I know."

"I've loved him since I was little."

"I know."

"Even I don't know why I like him."

I said with certainty, "But I know."

Zhang Ran said helplessly, "You know everything."

"Because I love you." Let me finish this scene, anyway, I can only let go, I said this to Zhang Ran, everyone present knew that it was futile, so I Dare to say.Moreover, no one will realize that I am speaking to Chen Wei.

This is the last time.

I will never see him again.

Later, Lin An recruited me to work as a book organizer for a period of time. After signing the non-disclosure agreement, I found out that everyone has a book.No, I don't.In line with the principle of not being able to sort out the books of people related to him, the book "Naked Ducks" was handed over to a girl for review, but when handing it over, he quickly flipped through the introduction.

Later, I came out of Zhang Ran's body and returned to my own body, but I still stayed in this world without relatives and reasons, without a reason, and I couldn't find a reason.I quit this job early and went to work in a flower shop.In the middle of winter again, I saw Zhang Ran off at the train station.

I feel a little tired, and I don't want to say something long-winded.Yes, I admit that I have talked about a love affair that has nothing to do with me. Now, I am living with a sentence given to me by my favorite rival in love.
