Survival Paradox [Infinite]

The rustling of the door lock stopped.

Then gently opened a crack in the door.

Wei Chi and Wei Yuan, one with a mop and the other with a kitchen knife, stood behind the door, ready to fight.

The door was only slightly opened at that point, and then there was no movement for a long time.

The two sides stalemate for a long time.

Wei Chi thought he couldn't just keep wasting it like this, met Wei Yuan's eyes, and suddenly opened the door.

Then he suddenly stared at the person outside the door.

"mom?!"

"Xiao Chi?"

When the two recognized each other, they were both taken aback. The mop that Wei Chi was carrying was only two or three centimeters away from the brick that Zhou Yingchun was holding high, and was about to make close contact.

Wei Yuan also leaned out: "Aunt?"

Zhou Yingchun looked at the two 1.8-meter adult men holding weapons in the door. Although they were close nephews, their eyes still flickered, and they flinched slightly. They took a small step back and spoke softly. Said: "I... I heard a knock on the door and thought something happened at home."

Wei Chi handed the mop in his hand to Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan ran back to the kitchen and toilet to put the "weapon" back in place, Wei Chi reached out to help Zhou Yingchun in, Zhou Yingchun hid for a while, Wei Chi's hand froze Now, Zhou Yingchun was also a little stiff, smiled awkwardly, and said: "It's good that you are all right, I will come back to get some things, and I have to go back to the hospital in a while."

Wei Chi: "But you've been working continuously all day."

Zhou Yingchun put the bricks in the corner of the door and walked to the room: "These two days are quite busy."

When Wei Yuan came out of the toilet, he saw Wei Chi standing in the middle of the living room with his face tense, as if a storm was about to come.

Wei Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

At this moment, the door of Zhou Yingchun's room opened, Zhou Yingchun came out with a piece of clothing, and walked towards the door.

"Eh?" Wei Yuan didn't know what was going on, "What's the matter, Auntie? Are you going to leave right after you come back?"

Zhou Yingchun said: "There is still something to do in the hospital, take your time."

Wei Yuan: "Hey——"

Wei Chi suddenly stepped across to the door, blocking Zhou Yingchun's way.

Zhou Yingchun was blocked by him, she had no choice but to raise her head to look at him.

Wei Chi: "I just called the hospital, you don't have work today."

Zhou Yingchun pursed her lips and lowered her eyelids.

Wei Chi waited for a while, then said, "Mom—what happened?"

"It's okay..." Zhou Yingchun glanced at him quickly, then lowered his head, and said, "Actually, actually...I'm going to find Lao Xu."

"Looking for Uncle Xu?" It was Zhou Yingchun's current boyfriend, Wei Chi looked at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock, "To his house?"

Zhou Yingchun hesitated and said, "Go to the hospital."

Wei Chi: "Then I'll take you there."

Zhou Yingchun immediately said, "No need."

Wei Chi: "It's already so late, I'll take you there."

"No need." Zhou Yingchun insisted, "I have taken so many senior classes, so I'm not afraid of the journey." She greeted Wei Yuan again, "You guys have fun, Xiao Yuan, and you can order food and drink by yourself, auntie Pay the bill."

"Okay, auntie!" Wei Yuan has become a habit of trying to please his elders, subconsciously bought a word of "be good", and then looked carefully at Wei Chi.

But Wei Chi ignored him, still frowning at Zhou Yingchun.

"Then I'm leaving!"

Zhou Yingchun quickly put on her shoes, opened the door and left.

Wei Yuan looked at his brother worriedly again, and found that Wei Chi had been staring at the door for a long time, and when he turned around, he had already settled his expression, returned to his usual calm and indifferent appearance, and beckoned him to sit on the sofa without emotion , said: "Continue."

Wei Yuan didn't turn the corner: "Say what?"

Wei Chi pinched the bridge of his nose: "Your wife and daughter."

"Just, just..." Wei Yuan's tongue knotted for a while, and then he said with a sad face, "Why, how should I say it..."

Wei Chi: "You went home, did you see it?"

"Oh." Wei Yuan found the topic, and continued: "I went to the door and ran into a woman named Zhang Tingyun...that's my wife they said...the house is a new building, I don't care much about it, but it seems I remember that my parents thought the house there was good...and they said they could buy me a wedding house there in the future, I thought they were joking...that's far away."

"I knocked on the door according to the house number, and it was Zhang Tingyun who opened the door. She was wearing pajamas, her hair was a bit messy, she seemed to have just woken up, opened the door for me, and then walked back... She looked very familiar, you know that Is it a feeling, like the feeling when you just woke up and opened the door for your mother... But she took two steps and turned to me and asked me: 'Where's Wenwen?'"

Wei Yuan pulled her hair in fear: "How do I know what 'Wenwen' is? I don't even recognize her! But her, but her expression is really... so scary, I feel like I made a huge mistake...but I really don't know what's wrong...so I asked her 'Who is Wenwen?'"

"Her face turned pale all of a sudden, really, no exaggeration, she suddenly became like a stone, told me not to joke... How could I be joking? After saying a few more words, she suddenly looked like crazy , Ask me where is Wenwen? Didn’t I take her to play in the snow? Where is she? Tears flowed down my face while talking, and they came and pulled my collar, saying that if Wenwen disappeared, I would fight to the death with me!”

"I'm also very desperate! No matter what I do, someone will fight me hard? She asked me where I took Wenwen. I don't remember what Wenwen was, but her expression was terrible, so I said I went there last. The place is that suburban square..."

"Then we looked over and found that Wenwen was sitting obediently on the steps next to the square. There was an old lady guarding her. The old lady said that she should go home to cook dinner an hour earlier. She wouldn't know what to do if we didn't go. done."

"Anyway, anyway, Zhang Tingyun hugged Wenwen and cried for a while, then ignored me, and drove away with the child..."

"I, I don't know what to do... My mind is in a mess. For a while, I feel that the world is crazy, and for a while I feel that I am crazy. Brother, I really don't know what to do..."

Suddenly, there was a vibration from the coffee table, and Wei Yuan's mobile phone on it rang.

The name on the caller ID is "Tingyun".

Neither of them moved, just staring at the phone, as if staring at a ticking time bomb.

"This should be my wife..." Wei Yuan's face was livid, and he looked at Wei Chi with a gloomy expression on his face, "Brother... I dare not answer."

The phone rang persistently for a long time, and Wei Yuan felt that his favorite music suddenly became more unbearable than the sound of sawing wood, which made his temples bulge.

When the duration of the call request was about to reach the upper limit, Wei Chi reached out and clicked on the call, and turned on the speakerphone.

A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Wei Yuan, you're not going home today, are you?"

Wei Yuan pursed his lips tightly, grabbing Wei Chi's arm wanting to cry but without tears.

"Sorry." Wei Chi said, "Who are you?"

After a pause, he asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Wei Yuan's elder brother. Do you know?"

"Oh, Brother Chi?" The woman seemed to know him, and continued to ask after receiving an affirmative answer, "Is Wei Yuan with you?"

Wei Chi: "May I ask who are you?"

"I'm his wife, Zhang Tingyun. Brother Chi, we met."

Wei Chi thought for a moment and said, "Sorry, I don't remember you very much."

The woman was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised her voice a little: "Does your family have any objections to me?"

Before Wei Chi could speak, she continued: "That's right, I'm not an ignorant person. If your family has any opinions on me, please make it clear that I'm divorced and have a daughter who is not good enough for you, Wei Chi." Yuan, then I agree, if you want a divorce or whatever you want, I will never get entangled, and I won’t take more than what I don’t deserve—but I want Wei Yuan to come and tell me in person..."

Her volume was a bit high, but Wei Chi and Wei Yuan still heard the little girl's timid voice from the background sound over there: "... isn't Dad coming back?"

The woman's voice was suddenly cut off, and there was a noise from the receiver, probably because she covered the receiver, only listening to what she seemed to say to the little girl, three or five minutes later, there was a sound of sliding the door, and then the sound of the wind, she Probably to an outdoor space like a balcony.

Wei Chi jumped ahead of her and said: "That's right, Zhang Tingyun, the situation is a bit complicated now, but I promise, my family and I absolutely don't have the kind of thoughts you just said. Since you and Wei Yuan are together because of love, we Your family must be blessed, you can rest assured of that."

A woman's shallow breathing came from the opposite side, but she didn't speak.

Wei Chi said: "I don't know if you have time tomorrow? We may have some things to discuss with you—of course, it's not about divorce, it's just an explanation of what happened today, and there are still some questions I need to ask you."

There was a moment of silence on the other side, Zhang Tingyun said: "I have time after get off work at five o'clock tomorrow."

"Okay, you can decide on the address and time, and you can send it to this phone later." Wei Chi glanced at Wei Yuan, and said, "Wei Yuan is taking a shower, so he may not be able to answer your call. Sleep here with me today, okay?"

After a while, Zhang Tingyun replied in a low voice: "Understood."

Wei Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.

Wei Chi continued: "You and Wenwen should have been shocked today. I apologize to you for Wei Yuan's reckless behavior. If there is anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow, okay?"

Zhang Tingyun: "Got it."

Wei Chi: "Good night then."

Zhang Tingyun hung up the phone.

The two sat quietly on the sofa for a while, Wei Yuan hesitated and said, "Brother...do you think I really have a wife and a daughter?"

Wei Chi glanced at him: "Is there anything you don't know?"

Wei Yuan spread his hands together: "Then I definitely think I don't have one! But, but the two of them... It seems that they are really, really emotional... You said that the little girl is so small... Could it be acting ? And, and... grandpa and grandma, they also said that they are my wife and children...they don't need to lie to me..."

Wei Chi touched his nose, but didn't speak.

"Brother..." Wei Yuan cried, "What should I do? I'm not really crazy, am I?"

"Let's put it this way." Wei Chi said, "At least in my memory—you don't have a wife or children."

Looking into Wei Chi's eyes, Wei Yuan felt that his confused mind quickly regained consciousness, and he let out a breath: "Then I'm probably not crazy?"

"It's hard to say." Wei Chi said, "Either you and I have a problem, or everyone else has a problem, or... In short, there must be something wrong."

Wei Yuan rubbed his face again: "What should I do..."

"Go to bed first." Wei Chi looked at the time again, pressed his slightly aching head, and said to Wei Yuan, "You sleep on the sofa."
