"Is there anything to see outside the window?"

The professor on the podium was spitting passionately, and "Jiang Xu" was looking out the window and dazed alone.

It took him a long time to turn around and smile at his companion, Yan Yan said, "The green grass is like a tree, and the blue sky is beautiful."

The companion pouted and cut his lips, disapproving.

"Listen to your hip-hop," "Jiang Xu" smashed a professional book at least five centimeters thick on the head of his companion, "Leave me alone."

The companion was not annoyed when he was smashed, he plucked his hair, straightened his earphones, and muttered, "I don't want to care about you."

"Jiang Xu" propped his head up and looked sideways at his companion wearing huge earbags. While listening to hip-hop, he was playing video games, his body was shaking regularly with the rhythm.One foot was still on the back of the chair in front of him, causing the blond boy in front to turn his head and glared at him frequently, and he was afraid that the professor was in front, so he couldn't attack.

"I've always wondered why they sent you here." "Jiang Xu" said.

"They didn't say anything, they just told me to stay with you..." The companion suddenly stopped talking and roared, "Don't talk to me!"

The classroom was suddenly silent, and the students and professors in the front row were startled by his voice and looked over here.

The blond boy in the front seat looked at him gloatingly.

The companion quickly pulled off the earphones, stood up and bowed.

Order was restored in the classroom.

With "Jiang Xu"'s IQ, if he wanted to make a cliché, he didn't need to be so straightforward. It's a pity that he was still a young man who didn't want to bear it at that time.

"I'm just curious, why you can sit here with me at the same time with your ability." "Jiang Xu"'s tone was full of disdain, and young people always disdain to restrain all kinds of emotions.

The companion's cheeks were puffed up, and he tapped the screen of the game console with his fingers, but he stopped talking.

"I'm going to Prince Street in the afternoon." After class, the two walked to the dormitory building.

"Oh, then I will accompany you."

This is the companion's catchphrase. Every time "Jiang Xu" said where he was going, the companion would say "I will accompany you", "Oh, I will go too." "Then you wait for me" and so on.

His companion was sent to Edinburgh to study together with him. The two of them ate and lived together, attended and finished classes together, and wherever he went, his companion followed him.

With the qualifications of his companion, there is no way to obtain the same qualifications as him to study in Edinburgh, although his qualifications were not obtained by himself.

Anyway, "they" have plenty of ways to send him here, as long as "they" want to.

At that time, "they" called it euphemistically, fearing that it would be inconvenient for him to be alone in a foreign country because he was young, so there was one more person on this journey to study.

His companion plays video games in class and doesn't study after class.Although he's pretty much the same.

Later he also found out that this guy didn't even need to take the exam.

On the second day, he understood that it was actually surveillance.

"Don't you need to go back and look for information? Aren't you going to hand in a paper recently?" the companion said.

"Jiang Xu" rolled his eyes, "There are two kinds of people in this world who don't need to grind their guns before the battle-geniuses and idiots. The first type can do it if they don't learn it, and the second type can't learn it anyway."

"Jiang Xu" cast a glance at his companion, "I am the first type, and you are the second type."

The companion rolled his eyes at him in return, and followed him step by step.

"Besides, this city is known as 'Athens of the North'. I have been here for a month, and I haven't walked around yet."

There was a worried look on the companion's face. It was hard to imagine that an ignorant person like him would be worried, which showed that the things he was worried about were not trivial.

Companion: "Don't forget, 'they' will tell you about your affairs. This is the main purpose of our coming here."

"Jiang Xu" said impatiently: "I know, I know, haven't I met that professor yet? There will be a class of him two weeks later, and since 'they' have already handed in the recommendation letter in advance, the doctoral supervisor who applied for him will not has a problem."

"Jiang Xu" applied for a two-year combined master's and doctoral program in Edinburgh, majoring in "Cognitive Neuroscience".The professor he and his companion mentioned had published an academic paper a year ago with a bold and novel idea, but the response was very polarized and the reviews were mixed, so there was not much splash at the time.

But it happened to coincide with the research project of "Jiang Xu", and the project of "Jiang Xu" was in a bottleneck at that time.So I was sent to Edinburgh by "they" to study, in fact, it was for the professor alone.

"Jiang Xu" doesn't seem to be very busy, and he doesn't attend many classes, but all the courses and experimental projects he comes into contact with are in the same direction, and the purpose is very clear.

Two years later, "Jiang Xu" met "them" at the airport after returning from his studies. He should have known "them", but he had no memory of it. "They" hugged him and said, "X·Jiang, welcome. return!"

The year "Jiang Xu" left, "they" designated that year as the first year of X001 in order to commemorate the great era that is about to usher.

-

Jiang Xu was woken up by a headache. He had a strange dream. The young boy in the dream seemed to be him, but he had a completely different experience from his memory, and even his personality was different. "Xu" is much more perverse.

Jiang Xu's home is a two-bedroom house, left by his parents.

His parents died in a car accident when he was in his second year of college.

He graduated from Dongbo City F University with a master's degree in Genetic Biology.

His family was well-off before, so he didn't go out to work until he graduated from graduate school.

As soon as I graduated, I received an offer from my current workplace.

The above is what he has in his memory.

Then he woke up like every normal day, remembering that he received the offer yesterday, and went for the interview naturally.

There is no suspense. After entering the job and taking up the job, it takes seven years to work.

Too bad his memory is fake.

The community he lives in is an old demolition house. There are traces of living in the house for many years, but there is no trace of three people living together.

Even if the memory told him on the day he woke up that his parents had been dead for many years, it was impossible that there were no traces.

He has a complete memory from childhood to waking up, but he can't recall any details.

All the memory fragments are like watching an old movie, which existed and happened, but he didn't experience it.

Even if a person has been mediocre for decades, it is likely that nothing special has happened in his life, but there will always be a few things that are different in his heart. He will not only remember what happened, but also remember At that time, my own mood, even the other person's actions, and micro-expressions.

But in his memory, there was nothing like this.

Rather than saying that those are his memories, it is better to say that someone has woven him a dream with beginning and end.

About a week after he woke up, he realized something was wrong.

But he also discovered a problem at the same time.

His previous personality seemed to be very introverted, with a slight social fear, so he had no friends since he was a child.

He even lost his last chance to investigate.

Who is he?

The memory is false, so are the dreams he dreamed real?

In the dream just now, "they" were repeatedly mentioned, but who are "they"?

"Jiang Xu" in the dream seems to have been with "them" before, so why did "they" let people monitor him when he was studying in Edinburgh?

Are "Jiang Xu" and "them" enemies or friends?

"They" seem to attach great importance to him, but also very afraid of him.

If he is really the X in the dream and disappeared for so many years, why is no one looking for him?

Jiang Xu suddenly remembered a situation - only the dead will not be missed.

He reached out and unbuttoned the front of his pajamas. In the middle of the two ribs on his chest, there was a stitched wound—it was left by the bullet.

-

The next morning.

The knock on the door interrupted Jiang Xu's thoughts. He watched the runny heart in the pot turn into a well-cooked fried egg, and sighed.

The door of his house was rarely knocked on, and the few times it was booked out by the aunt who was surveyed by Guangpu, a community neighborhood committee.

"Lu Xi, open the door." Jiang Xu shouted at AI.

"Okay, master."

The door opened and closed again, but no one spoke, and the AI ​​didn't reply.

Under normal circumstances, the aunts in the community will not enter the house. They will stand at the door with the door wide open, and then use their unique sound transmission skills, so that you have to go out to greet them yourself.

Jiang Xu turned off the fire, took a shovel to put the fried eggs on a plate, and said casually, "Lu Xi, who is it..."

"it's me."

The shovel in Jiang Xu's hand fell to the ground.

Chu Nanfeng walked up to Jiang Xu quickly, picked up his hand and checked, "Is it burnt?"

Jiang Xu curled his fingers, "No, that, why are you here?"

"I'm here to bring you something." Chu Nanfeng took out a small object from the windbreaker pocket, which was the small palm-length tool he often used in the other world.

"Have you had breakfast?" Jiang Xu glanced at the clock, it was only after 6 o'clock.I don't know where this guy came from.

Chu Nanfeng took the pastry box that was temporarily placed in the entrance and put it back on the kitchen bar, as if entering his own home, very familiar with the way.

"No, I came here to eat with you. I brought you wagashi you like." Chu Nanfeng paused when he said this, "Do you still like to eat?"

There was no sound behind him, Chu Nanfeng turned his head to look at Jiang Xu, only to find that Jiang Xu was looking at him intently.

"I had a dream. Someone said in the dream that only children like sweets." Jiang Xu couldn't see the face of the speaker in the dream clearly, but he could feel the speaker's attitude was full of doting. The other person must be his beloved. "Do you know who he is?"

Chu Nanfeng smiled lightly, but compared to his usual cold face, it was one of the few complex expressions, "You are also a child now."

Jiang Xu poured the special sauce on the fried eggs on the plate, "The fried eggs, uh, the heat is a little bit overcooked, and they are fully cooked. How about I cook another soft one for you? Soon."

Chu Nanfeng grabbed Jiang Xu's cuff, with a helpless expression on his face, "I like well-cooked ones, and you like soft-boiled ones."

"Uh, oh, it's fine if I know everything well." Jiang Xu seemed a little embarrassed in the face of Chu Nanfeng's sudden arrival.

He was out of his mind, and his reaction was a few beats slower.There are so many things I want to ask, but I don't know where to start.His mind is like a debate venue where everyone expresses their opinions, and the noise has become an entangled ball of thread, the thread ends are tied into a knot in the center, only the buttocks are facing the outside, making it impossible for him to start, leaving a blank space in the end.

The kitchen in the second bedroom is very small, and he usually doesn't feel it when he is alone, but suddenly there is an extra person, the most important thing is a tall man, so he can't turn around.

Chu Nanfeng didn't seem to feel it, the old god was sitting on the only high stool in front of the bar, waiting to see how to force Jiang Xu to blow his hair.

But he overestimated the depth of Jiang Xu's fugue at the moment, and saw Jiang Xu standing there for a while, then went to open the cabinet door, and then asked mechanically like every ordinary host should entertain guests, "You What do you want to drink?"

"Countess."

Jiang Xu's fingers on the cabinet door turned white, these words seemed to have finally awakened his reason that he was about to leave his body.

Jiang Xu is almost picky about the things he imports.

such as,

He thinks that the chive box should be served with salted bean curd even though he doesn’t eat chives at all.

Only drink freshly ground coffee, even if there is no coffee machine at home.

For fast food, he only drank plain pearl milk tea, and never added miscellaneous milk caps, puddings, taro balls, etc., even though he did not drink more than one hand in memory.

Except for water, the liquids to drink at home must be cooked with a sense of ritual, even though he has never had an instant drink pack.

So according to his characteristics, he only prepares tea at home, and there is only black tea like the Countess!

Unlike those famous origin teas, Earl Gray itself is a blended tea, and Earl Gray is one of the blends among many Earl Gray blends.

Thousands of drinks in the world

How much of a coincidence?

How can there be so many coincidences in the world?

He knows where his home is, his preferences, and everything he doesn't know himself.

It seems that Chu Nanfeng never wanted to hide many things from him from the very beginning, and he made everything so obvious.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.

Jiang Xu felt like a clown being toyed with, Chu Nanfeng didn't even bother to hide his intentions.

His hands were resting on the cabinet door, as if he wanted to maintain this posture until his death.

Chu Nanfeng lowered his hands and lowered his head. He showed no expression on his face, but he did not hide his sadness. He lowered his voice and spoke first, "I heard that you visited me two days ago."

The sneer on Jiang Xu's face became more and more obvious. He didn't answer his words, but took out a whole set of tea sets, and used the standard English brewing method to brew the Countess in a smooth manner. His tone was smiling, "You said It’s not surprising, my resume shows that I have never been to the UK, and my memory tells me that I have never done relevant research, why do I like English black tea and know how to brew it?”

This method of brewing tea requires precise control of water temperature and time, so there is nothing wrong with it.The teapots and teacups used to make tea are also particular. It is impossible for those who have not studied systematically to be so wonderful.

Jiang Xu added lemon slices to the brewed Countess and handed it to Chu Nanfeng. Chu Nanfeng rubbed the rim of the cup with his thumb, took a mouthful, and took a long time to swallow it.

After many years, he once again drank the countess made by Jiang Xu himself.

Before he came today, he didn't expect to get this cup of tea, and this time is not suitable for drinking.

In fact, he doesn't like to drink Countess. People like them, who always have a bit of Huaguo style veteran cadres, actually prefer local clear or strong tea.They are really not used to drinking these western things.

Jiang Xu looked out the window at the desolate neighborhood streets and withered branches, the temperature in his eyes seemed to condense the glass into frost.

"Seven years of community police? You can see the gate of the community while sitting in the police office, right? Watching me go to and from get off work every day, but feel like a stranger?"

Jiang Xu's voice suddenly increased, "What was the relationship between us? Huh?"

He pushed aside the chair abruptly and stood up, clenching the back of his teeth, his jawline was stretched white by him.He stared at Chu Nanfeng firmly, "Is there a relationship between surveillance and being watched? Who was I before? Need you to be less than 100 meters away from me and stare at me day and night?!"

Chu Nanfeng hugged him tightly in his arms.

"Let go! Let go..."

"No! No! No surveillance!"

"Then tell me! What was the relationship between us before!!!"

Chu Nanfeng pressed Jiang Xu's head against his chest, ignoring Jiashen's punches and kicks.

After a long time, Jiang Xu seemed to be extremely tired, with his hands hanging down and motionless, only heavy panting was left. He heard a soft voice lying on top of his head, but it was like the first spring thunder in this cold winter, scorching his heart.

"The relationship that has been in bed."

"You are my love."

I just want to be closer to you this way.
