Mr hell

Huai Qi froze for a moment, remembering that the funny pronunciation of "Zhizhi" was his nickname.

This sound seemed to be blurted out accidentally by Jian Yisu.After speaking, his voice disappeared for a while.

……

A cloud of dust seemed to have been swept away in his mind. Huai Qi remembered that when he had just "graduated" from preschool and became a big kid, if he could walk home alone after school at dusk, his parents would praise him like this: "Zhizhi is very brave." .”

When parents are angry, they will call Huaiqi's name very seriously. Only when they occasionally hear "Zhizhi" from their mouths, Huaiqi will not be nervous and tremble.

His friends "also like to call him that. Before going to school, they would run to his door with a voice brighter than those who sell deep-fried dough sticks. Through the hot mist, there was a little chewing sound: "Zhizhi, let's go together today." ? "

Only a few people have ever called him that, and even his own grandma "seems not aware of the existence of this nickname.

Huai Qi suddenly couldn't figure it out, why didn't grandma know?

Grandmother is the best person for me, "Better than my parents." In my memory, my parents and grandma seem to have existed in two centuries, without any intersection, not even strangers.

When Huaiqi examines memories, he can always find many things that cannot be explained logically, and it is easy to fall into a deadlock in the process of associating.He could only see forgetfulness as the culprit.

The child in front of him had disappeared while he was in a daze, and he saw that pale little face showing a sad and awe-inspiring expression towards him, and cautiously retracted into the wall.

Huai Qi knew that he was a fox pretending to be a tiger, and Jian Yisu behind him was what the child was really afraid of.

Jian Yisu knew what he wanted to ask, and explained first: "I can see the gully in a person's 'mind'—that is, the place with a deep impression—and what he has experienced in the past 24 hours."

In this case, what he said in the secret room just now has an explanation.But a strange feeling sprouted in Huaiqi's heart, and he asked Jian Yisu: "Can you tell me, how do you know 'Huaiqi'? "

"A long time ago, I forgot."

Huai Qi could see that he was avoiding the important and paying attention to the minor, and had no intention of answering this question.So even though he wanted to know, he didn't ask.

Huai Qi said to himself, "It's been a long time since anyone called me that."

"Is it Zhizhi?"

"Ah."

"Then I'll call you that from now on."

Huai Qi immediately said, "I don't want to."

There is one thing to say, although I miss it, it is still embarrassing to be called by a nickname by a stranger.After speaking, Huai Qi hesitated and explained: "I just think, "I'm an adult now, so I should be called by my name." "

Jian Yisu stretched out his hand and rubbed the hair on his forehead. The texture of the soul was cool and permeable. When it brushed his hair, it was as light as a gust of wind. He said, "Okay."

He then pursed his lips and sighed: "Tsk, Zhizhi has grown up, so I won't let you bark anymore."

"..."

"?" Huaiqi asked with a question mark above his head, "You seem to be coaxing a child."

Jian Yisu let out another crisp laugh.Huai Qi looked up at him, Jian Yisu put his hands into his trouser pockets, the collar and cuffs of his white shirt fluttered slightly.

Jian Yisu suddenly said, "One hour is up."

"But you..." Just as Huai Qi opened his mouth, he wanted to ask when he would show up again, but Jian Yisu suddenly disappeared again, and he only caught a trace of coolness on the hem of his clothes.

Jiang Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you doing in a daze, little Huaihuai, let's go and eat."

Huai Qi fell from the two alone into the real world again, listening to the play and jokes beside him, before being dragged away by his classmates, he took a deep look at the place where Jian Yisu disappeared, and replied: "Oh, here we come."

……

Huai Qi rejected the dinner party and rushed back to the study room before five o'clock, and finished reading the materials until seven o'clock.

After being returned by the team leader to revise several editions, the team leader's tone became impatient, and he asked Huaiqi to advance a little earlier next time.

Huai Qi quickly agreed, and he was relieved when the other party said yes. He rested on the table for a while, secretly slandering: Why will there be a next time.

In fact, he didn't want to do anything, he didn't want to write reports, he didn't want to review, he just wanted to lie down at home and play games.But none of the weekends got their way.

He slid open the phone, and the light from the screen shone in Huaiqi's eyes. The classmates who went out for dinner posted delicious food and interesting stories in the group chat, and everyone in the group photo looked very happy.

Huai Qi was also a little hungry, but he didn't want to move. He buried his head deeper in his arms, looking for something to eat in his backpack.But I turned over the empty drink bottle that I forgot to throw away in the afternoon.

He set the empty bottle on the table and stared at it.The scene on the opposite side was distorted by the transparent plastic of the bottle body, and the fan seemed to be sucked into a wormhole, and the way it turned became ridiculous.

He stayed like this for a while, and slowly wrote Jian Yisu's name several times in his notebook.

This ghost seems to know himself, and he is very kind to himself.There must be many things about him that Huai Qi doesn't understand.

Luckily, he hoped that he had lost the memory of Jian Yisu, not that Jian Yisu had identified the wrong person—is there another cowardly Huaiqi in the world whose nickname is Zhizhi?

But this kind of thinking is a bit selfish, the former is very cruel to Jian Yisu.The reason why the ghost stays in the world is because he still has obsessions. He must have something very important to tell "Huai Qi", but he has forgotten about Jian Yisu.

Huai Qi was tangled in his heart, only a pair of eyes were left exposed outside his arms, and when he recovered, he found that the notebook was full of graffiti and names.He lowered his eyelashes, and wrote another line next to "Jian Yisu": "I like his eyes."

Draw two curved lines and two solid circles.

Suddenly, a few scattered people who left the classroom passed through the distorted scene on the other side of the bottle.

Huai Qi watched a few students walk out of the classroom from the last row.But the moment they left, Huai Qi seemed to see that beautiful smile, and he stood up with a frown. The group of joking students had already turned into the corridor.

……

Chen Pan'an and Tingxue are not at home today, they said they had something urgent to go back to their hometown, Huai Qi guessed it was a matter for the old man of Brother Chen's family, the two elders and Huai Qi's grandmother have been neighbors for many years, Huai Qi and them also have a lot of friendship , many worries inevitably arose.But before leaving, Chen Pan'an reassured Huai Qi that they would be back tomorrow morning.Tuo Huaiqi helped take care of the two cubs.

He remembered taking the controller and computer back. Chen Mingqian saw the backpack behind Huaiqi, followed him into his room, and said, "You brought the game back."

"Have you finished your homework?" Huai Qi asked.

"Why are you like my dad?" Chen Mingqian said dissatisfied, "I play for half an hour, but I can't write for half an hour."

"You finish writing first, and I'll let you play until you go to bed." Huai Qi said, "Otherwise, you won't be able to log in to your account."

"Damn, you threatened me." With a ferocious face, Chen Mingqian went upstairs and threw his schoolbag over, occupying Huaiqi's desk, spread out his trash-like books, and began to write furiously.

Probably seeing her brother running wildly, Ting Xiaoya knocked on the door and said, "Xiao Huai, I finished my homework."

Huai Qi: "Then come in and play."

"okay."

Chen Mingqian: "..."

Seeing Chen Mingqian holding his breath and Ting Xiaoya's smile, Huai Qi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

For him, getting along with children is much easier than his peers.Just like Chen Mingqian, he doesn't have to guess what the kid is thinking, what he thinks in his heart is always written on his face at the same time.

Huai Qi went to take a shower and changed into his oversized home clothes.Tired of playing, Ting Xiaoya rubbed her eyes, tightly circled Huaiqi's wrist with one hand, and sighed, "You are so skinny."

"It's not good to be thin, and it's not easy to build muscles." Chen Mingqian didn't forget to interject when he was buried in the homework pile.

Huai Qi lowered one hand to let her wrap it around, but he didn't break free.The other hand wiped his head with a towel, and asked, "What do you guys want to eat tonight, but I won't do much."

Fortunately, the needs of the two children were not extravagant, so Huai Qi went to the kitchen to simply cook a few bowls of noodles, and reheated the leftovers from noon as marinade.

He took off his apron and asked the two to eat, and heard the two brothers and sisters yelling in the room, probably because Chen Ming couldn't figure it out, and blamed Ting Xiaoya playing games next to him for disturbing him.Ting Xiaoya said that she didn't turn on the computer speakers at all, and exposed that he didn't listen well when he was sleeping in class.

The "battle situation" intensified, Huai Qi stepped forward calmly, grabbed a cub by the collar with one hand, separated the two, and said, "Stop making trouble, let's eat."

Ting Xiaoya said obediently, "Okay."

Chen Mingqian lost his temper again, plunged headlong into the pile of homework, and said coldly, "I'll eat after I finish writing." He wrote a few more times, and accidentally knocked the pen to the ground with his elbow. Rolling away is also indifferent.

Huai Qi sighed helplessly, so he knelt down and picked it up for him.

But at the moment when he crouched down, the creepy coolness penetrated his whole body from his ears like a whispered prophecy.

Huai Qi heard an unusual sound and froze for a while.

In the slight darkness of the evening, he slowly turned his head to the side.

Just like that, he met the little boy squatting beside Chen Mingqian's legs.

The child with dark eyes was curled up in the small space under the desk, half of his body was blocked by the backpack he randomly dropped on the ground, holding a foldable fruit knife in his hand.There are also keys and pendants on the underside of the knife, which are jingling.

Every time Chen Mingqian stepped on his feet, the sound of metal rubbing against each other was heard by him.

Huai Qi's scalp felt numb for a moment, but he didn't dodge, he still squatted down and looked straight at the child.

He said: "Famous potential."

"what."

Huai Qi tried to steady his trembling voice, and said, "Turn on" the light. "

Chen Mingqian reached out and touched the switch in front of the wall.The room lit up instantly, and the figure under the desk disappeared.

At the moment of switching from darkness to light, the ghosts will be stung for a moment like pupils that are too bright to shrink.But after this moment passes, they will still appear again, and light cannot limit their existence.

Huai Qi said, "Ming Qian, go eat."

"I talked for a while..."

"Go quickly."

Chen Mingqian probably heard Huaiqi speak to him in such a strong tone for the first time. He frowned, seeing the direction he was staring at, and bent down to look under the table, saying, "What's the matter?" Hiss. "

He raised his left leg and found a short scratch on the skin, which was dripping with blood.Huai Qi also saw the wound, his nerves tensed, and he quickly asked, "Does it hurt?"

"No," Chen Mingqian kicked the "non-mainstream" schoolbag thrown at his feet strangely. There were many thorny ornaments on it, and he said, "It was probably covered."

"I have a Band-Aid in my bag, take it and put it on, let's go out now."

"What's wrong with you." Chen Mingqian said.

"I" suddenly remembered something. Huai Qi said, "Be obedient." "

This was originally a house vacated for Huai to live in, but Chen Mingqian didn't bother, took a band-aid and went out.

After a while, there was a complaint from the dining table: "I don't eat green peppers!"

Ting Xiaoya replied: "Father said that no matter how picky you are, you won't eat meat!"

The door was not closed, and Huai Qi saw the scene of the two siblings arguing with each other through the crack, and fell into a deathly silence when he turned his head.He finally fell to the ground with weak legs, only to realize that the pen in his hand was covered with sweat.

There is a ghost in this room, and it follows him from the secret room of the mall to his bedroom.

Huai Qi could see his movements, but he didn't dare to do anything. He was terrified, he wanted to run, but he couldn't.There are two children outside.

Huai Qi doesn't like ghosts, not only because of the unknown fear these hideous things bring to him, but also because he hates himself who is cowardly and at a loss when facing them.

Huai Qi, who was surrounded by powerlessness, subconsciously vibrated his vocal cords and made some sounds.

After recovering, he realized that his name was Jian Yisu.
