Mr hell

The boring itinerary was repeated every day, until the day of the performance.

Gu Qian suddenly told Huai Qi that she got an invitation letter and wanted to go with him, Huai Qi happily agreed.

At the party before the start of the celebration, some "upper class" people shuttled around.Gu Qian's eyes flicked around, Huai Qi asked her who she was looking for, Gu Qian hurriedly prevaricated with curiosity.Huai Qi guessed that it might be a friend of hers, who she was not familiar with, so she didn't ask further.

According to the program list attached to the invitation letter, the drone show is a warm-up for the opening, and Huaiqi always has the habit of arriving early for appointments. He arrived at the theater an hour before the start, and found a quiet and unmanned place to watch. Cell phone for a while. Ten minutes ago, Guo Qiaochu and Jian Shuo sent him messages at the same time.

Jian Shuo: "If the transportation is inconvenient, Qiao Qiao can pick you up."

Guo Qiaochu: "Baby, do you want me to pick you up later? I'll drive Brother Jian's car."

Huaiqi each sent a message and replied: "I'm already here."

There was no movement on Jian Shuo's chat interface, and Guo Qiaochu sent two question marks in the reply: "?? No, it's so fast. Brother Jian should still be preparing for the opening. I'll go and talk to him."

Huai Qi: "Since he's working, don't bother him."

Guo Qiaochu: "It's okay, if you're bored, find Hall No. [-] on the second floor, just go in and find him."

Gu Qian next to her said she wanted to go out alone, Huai Qi thought she was going to meet that friend, so she reminded her to be safe and not get lost.

There was only one person left in Huaiqi, and strangers around him seemed to gather more and more. This place was no longer a refuge for social terror.Among the adults in suits and leather shoes, with fragrant clothes and temples, Huai Qi left awkwardly from the seat that seemed to be covered with pins and needles.

He didn't know where to go, he wanted to listen to Guo Qiaochu's words and go to the second floor to have a look.Before leaving, he found the most conspicuous statue here, took a photo of Gu Qian, and the news said that they could gather here later.

Gu Qian sent him an OK gesture.

On the second floor, there are more people wearing work badges. Huai Qi walked and looked around, and found Jian Shuo.

Over the black turtleneck sweater was a loose ochre-colored shirt, the hem was only tied at the waist on one side, and the other half was loosely loose.Around his waist is a two-finger-wide nylon strap that holds a walkie-talkie.His outfit was purely unintentional, but it tested the waistline more than deliberate outfits.

A black bluetooth headset is hanging on Jian Shuo's left ear, which probably contains the content from the walkie-talkie.After listening to it for a while, he would rub his eye acupoints and frown his brows with a lot of worry.

Huai Qi tilted his head.

The way Jian Shuo wears a shirt has a strong sense of Jian Yisu's déjà vu.But Yisu never frowned like this.

Huai Qi walked over with light steps. Jian Shuo was editing something on a form. He said to the visitor without raising his head: "Go and find Fu Xi No. 012. He has backup data there. I don't want Similar mistakes occur again. If so, go to him and hand in your badge."

The voice is flat, without too many cold and harsh tones, but it has a sense of oppression.

After he finished speaking, he handed the revised form to a staff member who came, and said, "Print out three copies of this and send it to the person who made the error correction report just now, for temporary use."

Huai Qi guessed that someone might have made a tricky mistake, and the focused Jian Shuo mistook him for him.

Huai Qi didn't bother him, and contacted Fu Xi with a message on his mobile phone, and went to his place to get the USB flash drive where the data was stored.Seeing that he was the one who came to fetch it, Fu Xi still had some doubts on his face.

When going back, Jian Shuo's expression softened a little, Huai Qi stepped forward and said, "Senior, this is the data."

Hearing the sound, Jian Shuo took the USB flash drive, looked up, and when he saw Huai Qi, he was stunned for a while, and said, "Xiao Huai, why are you here?"

Huai Qi rubbed the tip of his nose: "Brother Qiao Chu said, I can come to you."

"I'm too involved..." Jian Shuo gripped the USB flash drive, the gentleness of his voice was in sharp contrast to that just now, and he smiled, "I'm sorry, it's not for you..."

A boy rushed over and bowed his head in front of Jian Shuo to apologize.Jian Shuo glanced at him, and handed over the USB flash drive expressionlessly.Huai Qi guessed that he was the staff member who made the mistake, and after watching him go away, Jian Shuo said to Huai Qi from the side: "Actually, you can remind me just now."

"It doesn't matter." Huai Qi said, "I count as one of you, even though I'm a 'reserve'. If you need help, I can come."

Jian Shuo smiled, and he raised his hand, probably subconsciously trying to reach the top of Huai Qi's head, but he froze in mid-air and retracted in time.He said: "I'll be done in a while. Can you wait for me in the rest area on the third floor?"

"Oh."

Jian Shuo took off his badge and hung it around Huaiqi's neck.Said: "Someone may stop you when you go upstairs, you just need to show them your badge."

"it is good."

The third floor is a deserted place, and the sound of my own footsteps can be clearly heard echoing.

There are a lot of equipment and props placed on the open space, Huai Qi walked around carefully, the rest area is facing the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can have a panoramic view of the scene outside the theater - the buildings with neon lights, squares, and rivers are filled outside the transparent barrier .

Huai Qi looked out for a while, staring at his vague reflection on the glass in a daze.The performance is about to start, but the companions are not around, and when will Jian Yisu show up.

Huai Qi hesitated and sent Gu Qian a message: "Student Gu, where are you now?"

……

Gu Qian clicked on the message bar, saw Huai Qi's inquiry, typed and replied: "Soon, I'll go back to you in a while."

Huai Qi said: "If it starts, you can find a place with a wide view and watch the performance first. Don't rush back."

Gu Qian wasn't on the show, so she typed "I'm fine" in the input box, clicked send, and tucked away her phone.

In her hand was a clear plastic jar filled with gold powder.If Huai Qi was by her side, he would definitely recognize that this was the gold powder that Wen Daochang put on Chen Mingqian's forehead when he first captured the imp.

This same type of gold powder is called "Kunpo", and it was given to her by Jian Yisu.

On the top of the Eighth Teaching Building that day, Jian Yisu asked her to help out in a very simple way - to leave Huaiqi for an hour before the opening, and after receiving his reminder, wipe the soul on someone's body.Then no matter what happens, find a suitable reason to get around and bring Huaiqi home safely.

When Jian Yisu said that person's name, Gu Qian finally understood where her familiarity with Jian Yisu came from.

Although Gu Qian didn't know much about celebrities in the school, at least she had heard about that person's "out of the circle".

Jian Shuo.

She has read the interview article of this person, and she has also done his big study.

"That's not the point.

The point is, what is the relationship between Jian Yisu and Jian Shuo?

Huai Qi didn't mention this to her. Maybe Huai Qi didn't think about the relationship between Jian Yisu and Jian Shuo in terms of metaphysics. He always thought that they were just two very similar people, one was dead and the other was alive.

But Gu Qian felt that it was not that simple, the reason was the golden box in his hand.This is obviously a magic weapon to disperse possessed objects, why would Jian Yisu ask himself to wipe it on Jian Shuo's body.

Gu Qian opened the lid of the gold powder in a daze, let a few traces of its smell float through the tip of her nose, and checked the authenticity.

At this time, a boy hurriedly ran over from behind him, and while holding a large bundle of blue roses, he panted into the phone and said: "How do I know that Xiao Huai is so early?" Huh, I'm here so early. Didn’t he receive it, and he didn’t even give what he wanted to give, “I’m at the Grand Theatre, where are you now, I’ll send you the stuff, and now you can give it to him yourself in time.”

"Ah, I won't have a headache again, right?" Brother Jian, don't talk about being inattentive. Even if the medicine has a hypnotic side effect, it's better than working all night with a headache," the boy's voice mixed. Worried, he said, "I'll send you the medicine, if you feel you can't bear it, you can do it next time.If you pass out, it's all over. "

Gu Qian blinked her eyes, looked in the direction where the boy was running, and followed him in a strange way.

The boy stopped while waiting for the elevator, and said, "Huaiqi is a very good kid, don't be in a hurry to talk to him slowly, I'm sure I'll be able to..." The boy's voice paused, and he looked at his phone The interface frowned.Then he turned on the voice transmission angrily, as if eating the phone, he said: "I'm teaching you experience, you hang up on me—"

The boy turned his head while yelling, and saw Gu Qian: "..."

Gu Qian who listened thoroughly: "..."

She had no choice but to pretend to get on the elevator as well, made eye contact with the boy, and smiled awkwardly at each other.

The boy next to him is tall, wearing a black suit with a blue tie, and the badge on his chest says "011 Guo Qiaochu" with the logo of dark blue meson printed on it.

Gu Qian glanced at the bunch of blue roses in his hand, and reasonably deduced that the brother Jian in this population was Jian Shuo.

The person who is going to confess to Huai Qi tonight - can't be Jian Shuo.

Jian Yisu said that he wanted to "persuade" the person who confessed to Huaiqi.

It was Jian Shuo who confessed to Huaiqi.

Jian Yisu asked her to wipe the magic weapon that forces the soul out of the body on Jian Shuo's body.

These pieces of information collided in Gu Qian's mind, and her brows gradually frowned.

What exactly is Jian Yisu going to do?

……

After an unknown amount of time, Huai Qi almost felt tired. He heard cheers in the distance, and ripples of "pixels" began to appear in the sky outside the window.This was the scene he had seen on the roof of the teaching building that day, but this time the background was moved above the city, which was even more spectacular than last time.

Huai Qi stood up and approached the window.

Footsteps approached behind him.Jian Shuo and the tuft of blue in his arms came into view, Huai Qi asked doubtfully, "Senior, aren't you going to the scene?"

"Daxi is here."

Jian Shuo handed the flower in his hand to Huai Qi, and said, "Here, here it is for you."

Huai Qi took it, thinking of the rows of flowers at the entrance of the Grand Theater, and reasonably speculated: "Is this a gift for the celebration?"

Jian Shuo was speechless for a moment, put his hands in his pockets, and said, "Yes. "

Huai Qi put down the flowers, but did not notice the subtlety of Jian Shuo's expression.He picked up a black gift box in a floral blue cluster, with cards saying "For Algernon" tucked inside.Huai Qi looked at Jian Shuo suspiciously.Jian Shuo smiled and said, "Take it apart and have a look."

Huaiqi opened.It turned out to be a handle inside.

The shape is similar to PowerA's FusionPro, but the whole body is black with gold embellishments, and there are only two colors. There is also a stamped signature on the battery plate behind it.

It is smooth and comfortable to hold, but it is heavy, probably made of special materials.The meaning of collection should be greater than practicality.

Huaiqi stared at the signature intently, and said in surprise, "This is..."

"This is customized," Jian Shuo said, "The signature is "Your favorite independent game producer, I specially asked a friend in France to contact him, and the handwriting was left by him at the nomination and awards ceremony.The words on the card are also from his hand. "

Huai Qi's gaze was fixed on the signature, and his heart was pounding hard on his chest tirelessly.He thinks this gift is really great.I didn't know how to express it, and there was no sound for a long time.

"I" happened to see that you had done an interest questionnaire when you were in Yuchi's team, so I picked this gift without authorization. "Jian Shuo looked at the constantly changing drones in the sky outside the window, pretending to be indifferent, but took a trace of his gaze to linger on Huaiqi's face, and he said, "Do you like it?" "

"I like it," Huai Qi said, "very" well, I like it very much. "

"That's good."

Huai Qi said: "Brother Jian."

"Ok?"

"Why did you suddenly send me this?"

"I don't know." Jian Shuo smiled casually and joked, "Because you are good?"

The pattern on the sky is constantly changing, just like the state of mind of the two.

At this point, the piece of wood in Huaiqi should be intermittently sensitive.Since there is a gift for him in the flowers, it means that this bunch of flowers is not a gift for the celebration.Since it was for him, the "love" on You's unremoved label is extremely eye-catching.

Jian Shuo probably didn't see the label that comes with this flower shop, because Huaiqi can feel the air-conditioning on the bunch of flowers and the gift box, it should have just "running around" from the cold outside, probably within a few minutes after entering the house .

Huai Qi took off the label and held it in his palm, rubbing it with complicated emotions.

Jian Shuo said, "Xiao Huai."

""what? "

Both Wen Qian and Jian Yisu said that Huai Qi is very easy to understand - he almost wrote the words "complicated mood" on his face, so it is impossible for Jian Shuo not to notice.

Jian Shuo smiled and said, "Did you guess what I'm going to say?"

Huai Qi choked, and then accepted silence as his acquiescence.

Jian Shuo politely asked: "However, can you listen to me first and then tell me the result?"

Huai Qi hesitated for a while, then said: "Okay..."

Jian Shuo suddenly turned around, gently held his wrist, and pulled Huai Qi sideways.He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows that isolated the mottled light and shadow, and only slowly rested his forehead on Huaiqi's right shoulder.The body kept a distance from him.

Huaiqi has seen butterflies that have found a perching place, only the thin limbs land on the stamens, and the wings are carefully retracted, so as not to disturb the dream of the corolla.

This is their most vulnerable moment. Just a child's two fingers can catch them into the cage, make them injured, or lose their freedom.

For some reason, when Jian Shuo approached, Huai Qi thought of a beautiful butterfly that had perched on his shoulder when he was a child.

"Occasionally, I wonder if I liked you a long time ago," Jian Shuo said in a soft voice, "I don't believe in love at first sight, so I convince myself that seeing you is the reason" it is a continuation of a habit .Compared with those words that startled at a glance, it was more like the reunion of old friends. "

"But the reunion doesn't seem to make sense, because I don't have any memories about you, I can only vaguely remember some outlines—maybe" These are all fabricated in my dreams. "

"We've only known each other for less than a year." Jian Shuo laughed, with some self-deprecating meaning in it, and he said, "A few months ago, I was still bragging about my singleness with Yuchi. I didn't expect a few Months later, it's her turn to laugh at me for falling so fast."

""I do not know why either. "Jian Shuo said, "Xiao Huai, I really like you."

Jian Shuo actually wanted to say something.

Liking you is like an instinctive reaction in Jian Shuo's human body, like a baby who is born to cry, like a person who has experienced reincarnation remembering the scene of the previous life, all germinations are subconscious.

But Jian Shuo didn't say it, because he thought this description was absurd.

Huaiqi froze on the spot for a long time at a loss, his brain kept spinning with fever, and he finally picked out the most straightforward and cruel words, and said, "I'm sorry, senior."

There was a long silence.There was no complaint in Jian Shuo's tone, he said, "May I know why?"

Huai Qi also felt that Jian Shuo's feelings for him were heating up too quickly.

Whether it's career or character, he thinks he can't match Jian Shuo.The only thing that can be obtained is a fairly good thinking head - but unless Jian Shuo is intellectually sexual, otherwise this cannot be the reason for a relationship to develop.

He wants to ask Jian Shuo why he likes him, but this question seems too indecisive at the moment.Huai Qi really cherishes Jian Shuo as a friend, and doesn't want some disconnected things to affect their relationship.So he gritted his teeth and said decisively, "I have someone I like."

This answer seemed to be expected by Jian Shuo, and he said, "Is it the Jian Yisu you mentioned before?"

Huai Qi nodded.

Although Jian Shuo couldn't see him, he could feel Huaiqi's head shaking up and down.

He said: "You said that the two of us are like "certain moments will make you inseparable." "

"Um……"

"If I came one step ahead of him, would the result be different?"

Huai Qi froze for a moment, and he thought about it seriously.Answering sincerely and firmly, he said, "No."

After finishing speaking, he added a sentence: "I'm sorry, senior. "

"There's nothing to be sorry about." Jian Shuo, who had been leaning on his shoulder all this time, finally stood up, not avoiding Huai Qi's gaze.He pulled out a smile and said, "I'd love to meet him."

"You won't see him" It's ridiculous to say that, but I don't mean to lie to you. Huai Qi lowered his eyes and said, "He died and became a ghost." "

Jian Shuo looked at him, silent.

"But I still like him very much." Huai Qi said slowly, "Even if he disappears in the end, I still like him very much."

Jian Shuo said, "Sorry, I brought this up."

Huai Qi said, "It doesn't matter."

Jian Shuo seemed to want to say something more, but he had nothing to say.

The show outside the window is over.

The third floor is the preparation area for the employees of Deep Blue Meson. After the performance was a great success, they returned here while celebrating.

So the two speechless and clumsy people stood in front of the transparent window, from the silence to the bustle of voices.
