Mr hell

Although Huai Qi couldn't explain the reason clearly, he intuitively told him that Jian Shuo and Jian Yisu were not just "like".

There is a shadow of Su on Jian Shuo, he is like his reflection in the world.This caused Huai Qi to have an illusion that as long as he grasped certain clues, the two of them could become one.

Or maybe they were alone in the first place, but they just pretended not to know each other, and waited for Huaiqi to see through, then joked with him with a smile: "You still figured it out."

But when Jian Shuo heard the name, he asked, "What?"

Hearing Jian Shuo's tone, Huai Qi temporarily put away his fantasies, knowing that his temptation failed.So he slowly let go of Jian Shuo, saying: "It's okay. "

Jian Shuo looked down at him and said, "You were calling someone's name just now. I have heard you call this name more than once."

His words caused embarrassment to slowly climb up Huaiqi's back. He stroked the back of his neck and said, "So you remember it all before."

"Of course I remember." Jian Shuo said, "Is his name Yisu?"

"Well," Huai Qi avoided his gaze and said, "His name is Jian Yisu, you two" are very similar.Like sometimes even I can't tell you apart. "

"Oh," Jian Shuo seemed very interested, "This Jian Yisu, who is he?"

"Very important family". Huai Qi repeated, "It's very important."

Jian Shuo said "Oh" again, this time the tone seemed more complicated than the previous one, but Huai Qi couldn't hear the subtlety in it.He said, "We can get to know each other another day."

Huai Qi quickly said: "No, you won't see it."

"Huh?" Jian Shuo laughed, "Why?"

Huai Qi prevaricated: "Because of some very complicated reasons, I don't know how to see him now."

"Are you having a conflict?"

Huai Qi shook his head, not in denial, but because he himself didn't know.

Jian Shuo is very good at observing words and expressions, and he could see that Huai Qi didn't want to continue this topic, so he didn't continue to ask, and said softly: "If I accidentally offended you just now, please don't mind. I'm just curious about "even admitting mistakes" in your eyes How similar is it. "

Huai Qi couldn't help but replied, "It looks like a person."

Jian Shuo was silent for a while, then he said, "Then you will mistake him for me in front of him?"

Huai Qi didn't understand what it meant, and said, "Ah, I haven't."

"So..." Jian Shuo smiled and said, "So in your eyes, I look like him, don't I?"

Huai Qi didn't think there was any difference between this and the previous statement. These were two synonymous sentences, so he nodded.

"Understood." Jian Shuo didn't say anything else, he helped his back, and said, "Go to bed early, good night."

"Good night."

Huai Qi watched him go downstairs, but didn't figure out what he "understood".

It wasn't until he was lying on the bed and replaying the game that he realized that it was not very polite to call someone by other people's name over and over again. Huai Qi's temptation was active and obvious, it was hard for Jian Shuo to completely ignore it.

After Huaiqi figured it out, he hurriedly got up and found Jian Shuo in the contact column. He looked at Jian Shuo's long English ID, and changed his name as a note by the way.

"Senior, I'm sorry just now."

Jian Shuo: "?"

Jian Shuo: "What's the matter?"

Jian Shuo: "Xiao Huai, you have to change your habit of apologizing."

Jian Shuo: "You still play on your phone so late, go to bed early."

Huai Qi typed a few more lines, and finally deleted them one by one, condensing them into one word "um".

……

After a few days, Huaiqi sorted out his memory again before falling asleep.

At present, his known memory can be divided into three stages.There are large vacancies in the connecting parts of these three stages.

The first paragraph is when he was about six, seven or eight years old, he lived with his parents, and there were friends who often played together by his side.This memory lasted until his parents divorced, and the night his father got drunk, he disconnected.

It is worth noting that there is no trace of Grandma Huaiqi in this memory.

Is it because the parents and grandma are separated?Huai Qi is unknown.

The second period was about when he was sixteen or seventeen years old. This memory was like a "paradise" independent of his life, and it hardly matched the trajectory before and after.

In this memory, he lived with a young man three years older than himself in a rented house by the sea—he had already confirmed that that person was Jian Yisu—and the relationship between him and Jian Yisu seemed very close, Like inseparable brothers.Jian Yisu, like the father in Huaiqi's memory, both worked part-time in the shipping company, supported him to go to school, and played video games with him during entertainment time.

The third period was also around when he was sixteen or seventeen years old - there was a weird conflict between this timeline and the previous period. Huai Qi suspected that the "brain tampering theory" mentioned earlier was at work.

In this memory, grandma and neighbors Chen’s old man and Chen Pan’an appear, Huaiqi and her get along with each other, high school life of frugal living appears, and the earthen grave of his father—he loves each other very much. There is no memory of my father's death, and the only hearsay is the message "Your father was an old-fashioned alcoholic who didn't do business properly".

There are two weird contradictions in this paragraph. One is the description of grandma about her "mother" - her father only had one wife, but she said that Huaiqi's mother died when Huaiqi was born - and the first memory conflicted.

The second is the attitude of relatives towards him, not to mention "bad", but more like treating him as someone outside the family.Huai Qi felt that he was like grandma's adopted son, and everyone kept his identity a secret—this has not been confirmed yet, and Huai Qi is only speculating.He planned to have a serious chat with Chen Pan'an about this matter.

This third memory is the longest, and it lasted until he was admitted to Yaocheng University until now.The first memory is closest to the third.The second memory is the most fragmented.

The existence of Jian Yisu can prove that although the second memory is unbelievable, it is not an illusion.What is the ins and outs of this memory, and what the two of them experienced, must be what Jian Yisu wants to remember.

There are also many short dreams and memory fragments, such as the three ghosts at home and the inexplicable old man in the neighborhood—what stage they should be put together, or which connection part, or whether they are illusions fabricated by the brain.Huai Qi didn't know about it yet, so he recorded them for the time being.

Before he knew it, Huai Qi had already written the memo for two hours.After reviewing it, he put the phone away, lay on the bed exhaustedly, and fell asleep.

……

Huai Qi got up early, but Aunt Fan had done breakfast and housework earlier than him. When Huai Qi boarded Guo Qiaochu's car, she said to him: "Come back early, son, Auntie will prepare delicious food for you." .”

Huai Qi was embarrassed to tell her that he would go home tonight and thank her for her kindness.He didn't talk much with Aunt Fan, because he was afraid that he would become attached to this place because of her words.

The car drove away, Guo Qiaochu was in the driver's seat, and asked, "Xiao Huai, can't you stop?"

Huai Qi shook his head.

"It seems that brother Jian didn't succeed in kidnapping?"

"..." Huai Qi said, "I actually like this place very much, really."

"Then stay here."

"After all, this is still a company dormitory. I am not qualified to live here now. If I want to rent it, I can't afford the rent." Huai Qi said, "But since I have chosen Brother Jian's professional direction, I will definitely be in the future. Strive for the 'qualified'."

"Don't be so restrained, just treat it as a stay between friends, and brother Jian treats you "Well, he admires you very much, and he certainly won't mind if you live here now." "

"It's different." Huai Qi lowered his eyes, his expression firm and soft, and he said, "Brother Qiaochu, the work you are doing, Shenlan Jiezi, and Brother Jian are all things I yearn for and admire. The distance is not one step away. It needs a trial process. The result after the process is more suitable for me. With my current level, if I stay with you and watch your official work every day, it may cause a great sense of gap and hopelessness. , and even the knowledge anxiety caused by eager participation "These may cause me a lot of constraints. "

Guo Qiaochu looked at Huai Qi for a long time, then laughed out loud, "Xiao Huai, I thought you were that kind of stupid and straight-minded, but you think more than I do."

Huai Qi quickly explained: "No, no, "I'm just too easily influenced by the environment.So I will think about it. "

Guo Qiaochu clicked his tongue and said, "Brother Jian is indeed a 'human trafficker' with a good vision."

Huaiqi: "?"

……

Today Jian Shuo went out, Guo Qiaochu said that Jian Shuo actually did not finish the business in the neighboring city yesterday, because he "dropped in" to pick up Huaiqi and came back early.

Strictly speaking, today is Huai Qi's birthday.

The class committee intentionally set up the classmate's birthday table, and today the class collectively copied to wish him a happy birthday, and Huai Qi sincerely sent a thank you when the group noise was over.

This birthday was originally full of plans, but Huai Qi can't do all of them now, because every one of them was originally planned to be with grandma.

So he decided to go to the library to finish the afternoon without class.At dusk, he saw an aged retired teacher reading a book opposite, and he stayed there for a while.

He remembered that although grandma didn't know a few words, she was devout about books like many "uneducated" older generations. As long as Huaiqi made a request related to reading, she would definitely agree.Sometimes Huai Qi would see her alone opening those textbooks she had used up, trying to point out and read those obscure sentences word by word.He wanted to teach her, but the old lady kept closing the book stubbornly, and said awkwardly: "It's useless for such an old person to learn this."

Later, when Huai Qi found that she was seriously turning the pages of the book by herself, she quietly stopped disturbing her.

It took him a while to break free from the mire of memories, packed his schoolbag, and went home.

Passing by a convenience store, I bought a bottle of drink out of habit.

He returned home, took a deep breath, and prayed in his heart to unscrew the bottle cap.Found a "one more bottle" written on it.

Huai Qi was surprised for a moment, looked around, and suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"What are you looking for?"

Huai Qi almost twisted his neck when he turned his head, and almost went forward to hug him.However, soul-like things can only have short-term contact with living bodies—the soul doesn’t feel like gas or glass, but like water, and one’s hand will gradually sink into it as if touching water—when the little girl told him He had already felt this characteristic when he used "Hug Face Kill".

"One sou!" he cried.

"Here." Jian Yisu floated in front of him.

"Where have you been, you haven't shown up these days."

"What, miss me?"

"Ah."

Jian Yisu rubbed his hair, he said: "I'm going to 'sleep' these days."

"Sleeping? You..." Huai Qi wanted to ask, "Are you sleeping all the time outside of the time you appeared?"

"Yes."

"Where is it?"

Jian Yisu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I" don't know either. "

"Somewhere in the world, anyway."

"of course."

Huai Qi took a deep breath, and it matched Gu Qian's theory. On this point, Jian Yisu didn't lie to herself.

"But why are you going to sleep. It's been so long this time..."

Jian Yisu said: "Secret."

Huai Qi felt more relieved: "Well, I thought you were angry with me..."

Jian Yisu smiled and said, "Ah, why do you think I'm angry with you?"

"Never mind that." Huai Qi had a lot of things he wanted to ask and talk to him about, especially the authenticity of the "psychic perspective", so he put aside the misunderstanding first, and changed the subject: "One Su, I want to ask you..."

Jian Yisu interrupted him suddenly, and said, "Zhizhi, today is your birthday, right?"

Huai Qi was taken aback, and said, "That's right." He smiled shyly, "So you know."

"Of course," Jian Yisu said, seeing his happy expression, "I have prepared a special gift for you."

"what?"

"Close your eyes."

"How old am I, you still have to do these mysterious rituals..." Huai Qi curled up his lips helplessly, but still closed his eyes.

After a long time, Jian Yisu asked him to open his eyes.

Huai Qi's sight became clear, and the scene in front of him made him freeze in place like a dumbfounded sculpture.

Another soul appeared next to Jian Yisu—a short, hunched, wrinkled face that overlapped with the countless stubborn and gentle faces in his memories.

Huai Qi looked at her in disbelief for a long time, until his eyes were covered by a layer of haze.

"Xiao Huai," Grandma's soul smiled, and said, "Happy birthday to you."
