I finally fell into my own hands

Xu Mian lingered at the cashier counter for a long time before she brought two big bowls of steaming oden and came towards him in vain: "Would you like some?"

"No, I've already had dinner." Bai Bai took a sip of the mineral water he had just taken out of the freezer, and subconsciously licked his lips that were still slightly hot.

The two of them gnawed and bited just now, and he couldn't bear to let these greasy food cover up the touch of being kissed by Hei Hei.

"What's your name?"

"Qi Bai."

"Oh, Mr. Qi..." When Xu Mian heard Qi's surname, a complicated expression flashed across his face, and he was not polite to him afterwards. She sat in the rest area of ​​the convenience store and ate oden. She was really hungry: "Before, Qi Ye and I often come to the convenience store to eat oden in the middle of the night, since we were with him...I haven't come here again, the taste is quite nostalgic."

"..." Bai Bai stared at the water droplets rapidly rolling down on the glass door, speechless.

Xu Mian continued on his own: "This city is very boring, unlike the south where the streets are full of supper stalls that are open until dawn, and you can eat whatever you want... At that time, we ran out of customers. The list is basically after three or four o'clock in the morning, and there is nothing to eat in Winter City except convenience stores."

Bai Bai nodded: "Well, I plan to prepare more fresh ingredients at home, so that I can cook warm meals for him no matter how late he comes home."

"..." Xu Mian's hand holding the stewed radish stopped, and was caught off guard and was stuffed with dog food again.

"Hey, let me tell you, are you really Qi Ye's boyfriend?" Xu Mian still finds it difficult to accept Qi Ye's coming out of the closet, and the person sitting across from her is covered by a mask, but the jawline and the surname Qi are coincidental. , the aura on his body and some subtle actions are somewhat similar to Qi Ye's.

Bai Bai answered simply: "Yes."

Xu Mian frowned, and said tentatively, "Looking at you, I thought you were his relative or something."

Bai Bai calmly asked back: "Qi Ye still has relatives in this world?"

Xu Mian was startled, momentarily at a loss for words.

Indeed, as far as she knew, Qi Ye had no recognizable blood relatives, and she did not deny that the reason she first got close to Qi Ye was out of a sympathetic attitude of pity for this lonely boy and some charity.

Bai Bai continued to make up the knife: "You should know this best, right?"

His tone was light, but there was a kind of majesty and sarcasm that made people shudder. Xu Mian shuddered unconsciously, and then smiled in vain: "After all, you and Qi Ye have been partners for many years, so you should know him better than others thing."

"..."

"Besides, your family should have investigated his situation a lot."

These words hit the nail on the head, those who don’t know listen to it in one way, and those who know can read it in another way——

Xu Mian was able to live until now because Xu family sacrificed Qi Wangnian's life in exchange for it. After Qi Wangnian died, the Xu family knew about Qi Ye's difficult situation, but they never offered a helping hand because they were afraid that something would happen. .

Without these people, without that extremely selfish sacrifice, his and Hei Hei's childhood would not have been so bitter.

Xu Mian's complexion was not very good-looking, she was always feeling guilty, so she changed the subject in embarrassment: "It's because Qi Ye and I have been partners for so many years that I was shocked by your affairs. interested."

"Miss Xu, people change."

Xu Mian: "...That's true."

"Or, sometimes I don't even know the other side of myself..." When Bai Bai said this, his eyes became gentle, the corners of his lips raised unconsciously, and his expression turned back for a moment, "You have to settle accounts, you shouldn't find him."

"Then Mr. Qi can show you the way, who should I go to?"

Bai Bai said coldly: "That bastard who is lying in the hospital now, I broke three ribs."

Xu Mian's eyelids twitched: "You mean Ah Xiao?!"

"The ghosts of your Xu family, including your ghost servants, were all killed by Ning Xiao through Qi Ye's hands."

After hearing this, Xu Mian was silent for 2 minutes, then hastily took out the cigarette and the lighter from his pocket, and thought that he was now in a non-smoking convenience store, so he sloppily stuffed the lighter back into his pocket and didn't light it. The cigarette was caught in her hand, trembling slightly.

"I do not believe--"

Xu Mian finally spoke up. If you don't believe me, this conclusion is within Bai Bai's expectations.

Bai Bai shrugged indifferently: "That's the truth."

Xu Mian: "..."

Bai Bai: "I don't care if you believe it or not, but if I want to blame Qi Ye, I won't—"

Xu Mian: "No, I never believed that these things were really done by Qi Ye."

After a pause, she continued, "Seeing...is not necessarily believing."

This time it was Bai Bai's turn to be dazed: "What do you mean...?"

Xu Mian nervously held his unlit cigarette: "I did something to him before because I was impulsive...Calm down and think about it, I don't think Qi Ye would do such a thing for no reason, that's why I went to him tonight one."

Bai Bai's gaze was like a knife scraping Xu Mian's face back and forth, and finally he smiled in relief: "Then, the next thing is easy to say."

After that, it was all in vain.

Patiently, he converted the dark memory images that were looping in his mind on the way here back then into words and told Xu Mian.

Including that they are the characters in the so-called book, Ning Xiao's purpose as an outsider, and the use of the so-called privilege.

The only thing that was overlooked was the ending where Hei Hei was nailed to the Heavenly Punishment Pillar and suffered so much pain that he finally died...

Xu Mian was so stunned that he almost forgot to breathe. It took him a long time to slowly digest the absurd facts that he said in vain.

"so……"

Bai Bai drank a mouthful of water to moisturize his throat: "Huh?"

"So... what's the matter with you? Where did you come from? How do you know this? What are you doing here?"

Unexpectedly, after Xu Mian digested this pile of content, the first question was to care about the existence of nothing.

Facing Xu Mian's barrage of questions, Bai Bai unhurriedly took off the fox mask on his face: "I don't want to let myself be wronged again."

He only answered the last question, and came to the dark world from far away, just not wanting to be bullied again.

Just like Hei Hei did to him.

Facing this face that was exactly the same as the Qi Ye she knew, Xu Mian was so frightened that she stopped breathing.

She almost suspected that Qi Ye was playing some prank on her!

Bai Bai looked at Xu Mian's pale face from the fright, and said calmly, "Is my face convincing?"

"...Can I understand this? You are another Qi Ye in a parallel world? Come here to tell me the truth and want me to help?"

"Well, please."

Xu Mian gradually came back to her senses, she rubbed her temples distressedly, and said with difficulty: "I have the power of persuasion, but... it's all like this, you still want to have a relationship with Qi Ye... um... you are in love with yourself?!"

Speechless in vain, this girl's focus is really...wrong.

"Well, you and yourself, don't get in the way." Bai Bai was very frank, what happened to him falling in love with himself?

Xu Mian took a breath, and then smiled: "Really, actually I... had a glimmer of hope at first, thinking that Qi Ye and you were just playing around, or you unilaterally announced your coming out."

in vain:"……"

Xu Mian bit his cigarette helplessly: "But since the other party is himself... I have no chance of winning at all."

Bai Bai: "Well, you didn't."

Xu Mian laughed, "However, it's not ugly to lose."

Bai Bai guessed right, Xu Mian in this world has feelings for Hei Hei.

At that time, Xu Mian was in the dark because of Qi Wangnian's affairs. After getting acquainted, the two cooperated tacitly and made the business of catching ghosts and monsters flourish. Almost everyone in Yulingjie thought that Xu Mian had taken a fancy to the Qi family. A poor boy with no money and no status, but in fact, apart from the huge difference in family background, the two are very similar in appearance and ability.

And black?He has a good impression of Xu Mian, a lady with a pretty face and a good personality, but his affection is limited to an understatement of affection, and what is born over time is not affection but friendship.

After all, he knows that his family background can't match with the other party. It's okay to be friends and partners, but if we talk about it in depth... there are not enough hormones to support him to break the balance.

Or, Hei Hei didn't have the heart to go beyond the limits.

It wasn't until Ning Xiao showed his strong admiration for Xu Mian that Xu Mian was also very enthusiastic towards his younger brother, and Hei Hei's budding affection was cut off.So much so that after Xu Mian drank too much and showed obvious affection for him, Hei Hei refused to go back without mercy, coldly and decisively.

The relationship between the two began to froze.

"At that time, how did Qi Ye reject you?" He had never seen this part in the memory video in vain, so he was very curious.

Xu Mian bit his cigarette bitterly: "He said directly, very directly - don't mess around, you are not my type."

Bai Bai smiled on the spot: "Well, he didn't lie, and you really weren't."

Xu Mian's face was full of pain: "Damn it, do you want to be so straightforward?!"

Xu Mian thought that she was very immature at that time, after being rejected by Qi Ye, she gradually distanced herself from him, and instead approached Ning Xiao who was only polite.

Now that I think about it, it's really childish... Xu Mian sighed softly as she watched the rain outside the convenience store that hadn't diminished at all.

In fact, this 'Qi Ye' is right, she is indeed not the type that the other party likes.

Let's be straightforward, it's also for her to cut the mess with a quick knife.

Xu Mian, who was in deep thought, froze, and suddenly turned his face to Bai Bai and said, "I went to see Ah Xiao before I came here, and he was taking medicine and fell asleep at that time, and I seemed to hear what he said in a dream... The system is going to be restored, I didn't think it was a big deal before, it was just nonsense in my dream, but what you told me just now...does it have anything to do with it?"

Baibai's face changed suddenly, a trace of panic and anxiety flashed in his eyes, he almost roared out in a low voice: "Go, go back to the old house!"

Xu Mian was infected by his emotions, she didn't understand, so she nodded in panic, and immediately followed without asking why.

……

After Bai Bai left, Hei Hei lay on the bed without falling asleep.

He was recalling that sentence over and over again——

"At this point, you can rely on me more."

Just thinking about it like this makes Hei Hei's face hot, but even hotter than his face is his heart.

If the kiss just now was a sudden impulse of love, then this sentence is a heavy promise that the other party is willing to bear his life.

Hei Hei thinks that a guy who makes such a unilateral promise is a chicken thief and selfish.

Straight ball attack, people have no power to fight back...

After all, the human mind is not like a window that can be opened and closed freely. Once some windows are opened, they cannot be closed again.

Coincidentally, he had no love from his father or mother since he was a child, yet he chose to do this kind of thing...

Although he never said...

Hei Hei thought, Bai Bai is a very contradictory person, he is very frank in front of him, but also conceals something strangely.

Like his mask.

Is this child really so ugly that I can't take a look?

Forget it, if he doesn't like it, he won't like it, I can bear it as long as he wants to hide.

The rain was pouring on the glass windows, and it was almost 05:30 in the morning, but the dawn of the rainstorm was dim, and there was no sign of dawn at all. He guessed that even if Bai Bai had a fight with Xu Mian, he should come back. Get up and prepare breakfast.

When he put the washed rice into the rice cooker to make porridge, he paused again, and the familiar feeling of not knowing what day and night came again.

This situation seems to have happened at some point in his life...

Why do people cook porridge, why do people prepare breakfast.

Hei Hei's temple was aching, he recalled carefully, but there was no trace of memory.
