"If you were given another chance, would you push that door open?"

"...what's behind that door?"

"I don't know, do you want to know?"

"Yes, but...but I'm afraid."

"Don't be afraid, I'm right here with you."

There are long floor-to-ceiling windows hanging on all four walls of the office. The curtains are off-white, with the texture of crepe, like a layer of clouds and mist leaking from the top of the mountain, like a waterfall, thin and soft, and the slight convection in the air can lift the curtains corner.

The curtains hanging in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows were lifted up a narrow slit, and the golden and copper-colored light from the red sunset outside the window came in through the slit and brushed across the face of the woman lying on the chaise longue.The woman's closed eyes trembled slightly due to the light, and she turned her head to avoid the light, with a slightly disturbed expression.

Soon, the golden and copper-colored light disappeared, and the office was once again surrounded by clouds and mist. This kind of wrapping feeling similar to a mother's womb always gives people the greatest sense of security.

"Doctor Ji, are you there?"

The man answered her: "I am here."

She took a breath, her face gradually calmed down, and she seemed to be asleep for a long time without moving, until the fiery red sky outside the window gradually settled into the busy street, and the air was as quiet as water, she said: "I saw it. "

"what did you see?"

"The stairs."

"Where are you?"

"I was standing under the stairs, still in that empty house, with no lights turned on, it was very dark, and I couldn't see my surroundings clearly."

"Don't look around, look up the stairs? What can you see?"

"Black...very black, nothing."

"That person, didn't show up?"

"No, I can't see him."

"Look up further, what can you see?"

"Above...well, I saw it, it's the door."

"Do you want to go up and have a look?"

"Can I?"

"Of course, don't be afraid, I'm here with you."

The woman lay on her side, holding her arms, curled up in fear of the cold, and murmured like a babble in a deep sleep: "It's so dark... There's no light at all. I can't see the stairs under my feet clearly. I can only see the stairs." Walk slowly... the wooden stairs are too old, creaking and making noise, as if they might break at any moment."

Saying this, she crossed her feet, one behind the other, her toes curled up tightly.

"Five, six, seven, eight... nine... ah!"

She let out a low exclamation, hugged herself even tighter, and cold sweat oozes from her forehead.

"The ninth step, is it still empty?"

the man asked her.

She pouted and complained like a child: "Grandpa forgot to repair the stairs again. I've told him many times that he doesn't care."

"Be careful and keep going up."

"Going up... there is no way, I, I see the door, right in front of me."

"Push it away."

"It's locked."

She closed her eyes tightly, her face was anxious, her body struggled and twisted, as if she was exerting force: "I can't open it, I can't open that lock."

"What kind of lock?"

"The black padlock is very cold and heavy, like an ice cube. What should I do? I can't open it..."

"Don't worry, in fact, you have the key, and the key is on you. You can look for it in your pocket."

She calmed down for a while, and groped her chest with her hands. After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I found it."

"When you're ready, you unlock that lock and push that door open."

She lowered her head slowly, her chin was hidden in front of her chest, she seemed to be falling asleep again, and her breathing gradually became even and fine.

For a long time, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Ms. Qin? Ms. Qin?"

She doesn't wake up.

With a sound of swish, the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were forcefully pulled open, and the dark blue sky with melanin deposited outside the window shone into the office, instantly waking up the woman sleeping soundly on the recliner.

With her back to the window, she refused to look back as if she was afraid of being burned by the light. She just lowered her eyes and stared blankly for a while, then raised her head from the recliner, looked at the man sitting in front of her, and said, "Doctor Ji, Why are you here?"

Ji Zheng sat on a light gray single sofa, crossed his legs, put a notepad on his knees, and was taking shorthand with his head down. Hearing this, he stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head and smiled at her: "Then I Where should it be?"

Qin Jing stared blankly at his right hand holding the pen. His fingers were slender, with fine bones, and they were very beautiful. Holding the pen all year round caused the pen to turn into a small round hole on the second knuckle of the middle finger of his right hand. A bit of dark blue ink seeped from the tip of the pen in his hand, and the ink left a faint trace on the pulp of his index finger, seeping into the lines of his skin.

The ink he used didn't smell bad, and the smell after the handwriting evaporated was different from ordinary carbon ink, but exuded a very cold and subtle fragrance of borneol.

Qin Jing smelled the fragrance of borneol drifting from his body, her eyes gradually woke up from her daze, and she suddenly sensed something, she lowered her head without answering his words, sat up from the recliner, and looked for her high heels on the ground.

Ji Zheng saw that she was avoiding her intentionally, so he didn't continue to ask, and continued to write with the pen in his hand.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Qin Jing's feet under her skirt poking around on the ground, as if she couldn't see it, and kicked over a pair of flesh-colored high heels neatly placed beside her feet.

He stopped writing again, bent down to straighten a shoe lying on the ground.

"Thank you, thank you."

She murmured thanks in her shoes.

Ji Zheng just smiled, closed the notepad and put it on the table beside him, then picked up the recording pen on the table, pressed the stop button, and said: "It's getting late, I'll be here today. The driver will pick you up Yet?"

Qin Jing looked at the silver recording pen in his hand thoughtfully, and said in a daze, "He's waiting for me downstairs."

It was already dark at this time, but the sky in the city was indeed blue and transparent, and all the melanin sank to the ground, covering the tall buildings in darkness.There was no light in the office, and in the dark yellow air, the woman's face was covered by her long hair, Ji Zheng couldn't see her face clearly, only her pale left cheek was flushed with a delicate color.

Since he saw Qin Jing, this beautiful woman was worried and anxious all day long, and it was the first time he saw her showing such an expression, like the image of the quiet and demure Qiongmen Yuxiu only in the book.

"Ms. Qin?"

Hearing Ji Zheng calling her, Qin Jing didn't look up, but just brushed off the long skirt on her body, 'Huh? ' with a sound.

Ji Zheng took off the rimless glasses on his face, removed the gap between the lenses, looked at her and smiled: "What's wrong? Do you have anything else to say?"

Qin Jing turned her head and looked out the window before saying, "No, I should go."

Ji Zheng put his glasses back on, got up and walked her to the door, saying, "See you next Wednesday."

"Okay, bye."

Qin Jing walked away gracefully, the long hair draped over her shoulders and the long skirt on her body fluttering gently with her steps.

Ji Zheng watched her walk into the elevator, then returned to the office to sort out the recordings and notes.

Nurse Xiao Jiang gently pushed open the door of his office, and said with a smile, "Doctor Ji, there is no appointment."

Ji Zheng wrote the last line: "Understood, you get off work first."

Xiao Jiang sighed: "It's great to work under you." After finishing speaking, he closed the door and left.

In the locker room, she changed out of her light pink nurse uniform, put on her own T-shirt and shorts, and was braiding her hair in front of the full-length mirror, when two colleagues came in hurriedly.

When a female nurse saw her changing clothes, she smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang, are you off work?"

Xiao Jiang looked into the mirror and said with a ponytail: "Yes, Dr. Ji is not busy, so naturally I am not busy."

The colleague curled his lips, turned around and opened his own cabinet door, and said, "Who is Dr. Ji? Of course he is not busy. He only sees ten patients a week, and he only accepts appointments from wealthy people. He can't be busy even if he wants to."

With a hair band in her mouth, Xiao Jiang looked in the mirror at her colleague who was facing away from her tumbling locker, took off the hair band and tied it with a ponytail and said with a smile: "That's not it, if Dr. Ji let go of the locker Clinic, people who make an appointment can line up a street."

The man chuckled and said, "That's what you said, but Doctor Ji still has to pick and choose, pick out the richest, most powerful, and most powerful..."

The plump nurse next to him continued, saying, "There is the most beautiful one!"

The two women shoved and laughed at each other.

Xiao Jiang looked at them in the mirror, feeling angry, but since she was new here, it was inconvenient for her to have an attack, so she closed the cabinet door with a bang, threw her backpack over her shoulder, and turned to leave.

"Hey, you don't know, do you?"

The plump nurse stopped her, with an ambiguous and secret light shining in her pink eyeshadow eyes.

"what?"

Xiao Jiang didn't want to get entangled with them, so she asked patiently.

The two nurses looked at each other, and it was still the plump nurse who spoke, deliberately lowered her voice, approached Xiao Jiang and said, "Aren't you surprised? Dr. Ji is in such a good condition, why is he always single?"

Xiao Jiang smiled and said, "It's normal, Dr. Ji has high eyesight, and doesn't like us."

The two nurses were ridiculed by her, their faces were embarrassing, a little boring, and the plump one said: "No... Hey, let me tell you, in fact... Doctor Ji has one hidden in his house."

"How do you know?"

The nurse said: "Sister Liu went to Dr. Ji's house to get the documents and saw it with her own eyes."

"So what? It's normal to live with a girlfriend."

The nurse folded her arms and smiled secretly, and said, "It's normal to live with a girlfriend, but his girlfriend..." As she spoke, she leaned into Xiao Jiang's ear and whispered something.

Xiao Jiang was stunned, and said, "How is it possible."

The nurse said: "Sister Liu saw that girl and Dr. Ji hugging with her own eyes. They were very affectionate."

Xiao Jiang was stunned for a while, then suddenly pushed the woman standing in front of her, and said, "I won't listen to your nonsense."

The woman who was pushed by her jumped and yelled at her, and Xiao Jiang left without looking back.

Walking out of the dressing room, she saw Ji Zheng changing from his white coat and walking down the corridor in a suit and leather shoes from a distance.

Ji Zhengwei lowered his head and looked at his mobile phone, nodding and smiling to his colleagues who said goodbye to him from time to time.

He still wears the pair of rimless glasses, the eyes behind the lenses are restrained, quiet and gentle, with a natural romantic temperament.He hadn't had time to button his suit jacket yet, and when he was standing in front of the elevator waiting for the elevator, he freed up one hand to button his suit jacket. Once the button was fastened, the elevator arrived.

"Wait a minute, Doctor Ji!"

Xiao Jiang watched Ji Zheng walk into the elevator, and hurriedly shouted.

Ji Zheng supported the elevator door with his hands, and then let go when she came in, and pressed the floor button for the first floor.

Xiao Jiang wiped off the sweat on his forehead: "Huh, thank you."

Ji Zheng took out a clean tissue from the pocket of his suit pants and handed it to her. He pressed his phone and said, "Where are you going? Maybe I'll drop by."

Xiao Jiang took the paper towel to wipe off her sweat, glanced at him secretly, and said, "No need, I'm just strolling around."

Ji Zheng didn't speak, looked at the phone and slowly frowned, and then fell silent looking at the jumping red lights on the floor buttons.

Soon, the elevator stopped on the first floor, and Xiao Jiang was about to go out when Ji Zheng stopped her.

Ji Zheng glanced at the lobby counter on the first floor of the office building, and said to Xiao Jiang with a smile: "If you are not in a hurry, please wait for a while. Someone will come to me later, and you tell him that I have already left. "

Xiao Jiang answered straight away: "No problem, I just happen to be waiting for someone."

Ji Zheng thanked her, then stepped out of the elevator and walked through the lobby on the first floor towards the revolving glass door.

The door was revolving, and when he was pushed out by the door, he saw a young man just being sent in by the glass door.

With a glimpse, Ji Zheng saw him, but he didn't see him, and they just passed by.

Ji Zheng walked out of the office building, stood on the steps and looked back, saw the man running towards the reception desk, and said: "Hello, I am Su Xingye from Junming Law Firm, and I have an appointment with Ji Zheng from Qinghan Psychological Counseling Center. Well, when is he-"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jiang walked over and spoke to Su Xingye on behalf of the front desk.

Ji Zheng didn't look any further, walked down the steps quickly, and took out his car in the parking lot.

When he drove past the office building, he deliberately slowed down the speed of the car. Looking out the window, he happened to see Su Xingye pushing the revolving door out of the office building and walking quickly along the steps.

At this time, the sky was getting darker, and there was a layer of blue in the sky. Outside the blue light circle was a condensed purple night. It was already summer, but the few stars in the sky were as cold as autumn water.

Su Xingye took off his suit jacket and hung it on his arm, revealing the clean white shirt he was wearing underneath. He was carrying briefcases, car keys, file bags, etc. with his hands full.He hurried past in the condensed purple sky, a gust of wind blew a layer of bangs on his forehead, revealing a fair complexion, refreshing and handsome face, with a few strands of hair wetted by sweat sticking to his forehead, let him see It looks like a high school student running on the school playground.

He stood on the side of the road and looked anxiously at the passing traffic, took out his mobile phone and pressed it to his ear a few times.

Ji Zheng drove past him, and saw that the cell phone that had been muted began to vibrate, and the caller showed a string of numbers that he had not noted.He didn't connect it, but turned off the phone directly and threw it on the bridge.

When I got home, it was my aunt who opened the door.

"Doctor Ji is back."

Aunt Wu held a handful of freshly peeled celery, tied an apron, opened the door and stood at the door, holding up her dirty hands.

Ji Zheng nodded, closed the door, took out a paper towel and wiped off a little stain that Aunt Wu had left on the doorknob, and asked, "Where is Xiao Qu?"

Aunt Wu pointed to a room on the first floor opposite the kitchen, and said, "I fell asleep just now, maybe I haven't woken up yet. Ah, my pot."

Aunt Wu ran into the kitchen in a panic.

Ji Zheng walked to the door of the room where a pink panther plush toy was hung, tapped it twice, and then pushed the door open.

The girl had already woken up, and she was sitting cross-legged on the bed and brushing her nail polish.

Ji Zheng stood at the door, took off his suit jacket and put it on his arm, unbuttoned the collar of the blue shirt with one hand, looked at the girl and smiled, "Are you waiting for me?"

The girl was wearing a men's T-shirt and very short denim shorts, revealing her slender and slender legs. Her short blue hair was blue and gloomy, and even her cold pupils were covered with a layer of cold blue. .

She curled up her left leg, put her chin on her knee, held a nail brush in her right hand, and painted blue nail polish on her left middle finger, saying: "You are two hours late."

Ji Zheng went in and sat down by the bed, looked at her hands which were applying nail polish, and said, "Sorry, I'm busy today."

Bian Xiaoqu put her legs down, leaned sideways on his broad and warm back, and said, "Don't answer my phone yet."

Ji Zheng took out his mobile phone from his suit pocket, hesitated for a moment, did not turn it on, and said: "The mobile phone is out of battery."

Bian Xiaoqu turned around, faced out the window, leaned against him, raised his left hand with still-dry nail polish facing the window, and said with a smile, "Does it look good?"

Ji Zheng never felt how beautiful she was when she dyed her hair and nails blue. He didn't agree with his will, and he didn't express his opinion. He just smiled and changed the conversation: "Did you practice the piano today?"

Bian Xiaoqu blew on his nails and said, "What piano? When will I know how to play the piano?"

Hearing this, Ji Zheng stared at a piano on the west side of the room with heavy eyes, and there was a messy piano score on it.

He suddenly felt a little tired, took off his glasses, pinched his eyebrows, and asked softly, "What did you do today?"

"Sleep and read a book."

Bian Xiaoqu twisted her body and lay on his back, put her arms around his neck, rested her chin on his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Also, I'll wait for you."

Ji Zheng looked down at the blue nail polish on the nails of her clasped hands, paused for a moment, then separated her hands, stood up and looked at Bian Xiaoqu with a smile: "Get up and have dinner."

Walking out of the bedroom, he went straight to the kitchen and asked Aunt Wu, "Did Xiao Qu play the piano today?"

Aunt Wu was stewing a pot of soup. While stirring the soup in the casserole, she said, "I played it for a while at noon, but I haven't played it since." Then she changed the topic: "Doctor Ji, why is your phone turned off? I still want to Let you buy a bottle of vinegar at the gate of the community when you come back."

Ji Zheng looked at the mobile phone with a black screen, and said, "It's out of battery."

Having said that, he felt that it was necessary to change to a new mobile phone number as soon as possible.

He put on his suit jacket again, and walked towards the door. As soon as he opened the door, he heard Bian Xiaoqu calling him from behind.

"Ji Zheng."

Bian Xiaoqu leaned against the door of the room with her arms folded, looked at him and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I will be back soon."

Ji Zheng picked up the car keys from the shoe cabinet, went out and was about to close the door when he saw Bian Xiaoqu following him, squatting and squeezed out from the crack of the door, saying: "I'll go with you."

Considering that it was getting late now, Ji Zheng had to register before the business hall closed, so he acquiesced in accompanying Bian Xiaoqu, and drove Bian Xiaoqu to the nearest business hall.

Ten minutes later, he parked the car in an open-air parking lot next to a shopping mall, and when he got off the car, he asked Bian Xiaoqu, "Go in?"

Bian Xiaoqu turned the volume button on the car speaker: "It's boring, I'll wait for you in the car."

Ji Zheng got off the car and walked into the mall. The business hall was next to the mobile phone counter on the first floor.The salesperson asked him to choose a new number, and he randomly pointed to one of the numbers on the page.

Soon, the beautiful salesperson handed him the mobile phone with the calling card installed, and said with a smile: "Okay, now you can talk normally."

As soon as the voice fell, the phone rang the default ringtone.

The salesperson was stunned for a moment, the number had only been activated for a few seconds, and the number hadn't been entered in the phone book yet, so even harassing calls couldn't come through.

"What, what's going on?"

The salesperson was taken aback, thinking that he had encountered a supernatural event.

Ji Zheng took the phone over calmly, hung up the phone directly, and said, "Maybe I made a wrong call."

It took less than 2 minutes to leave the mall. During these 2 minutes, the new phone rang three times, and Ji Zheng hung up every time.

When the phone rang for the fourth time, Ji Zheng became a little impatient.He walked out of the shopping mall and stood in front of the brightly lit shopping mall. He scanned the unfamiliar number he was calling. A somewhat cool male voice.

"Brother Ji Zheng?"

Ji Zheng couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the phone, he was familiar with this voice, but not so familiar.And in his memory, there was only one person who called him 'Brother Ji Zheng'.

"Hello? Brother Ji Zheng?"

The other party called him again, and this time Ji Zheng confirmed that the person who called him Brother Ji Zheng was the one who always called him Brother Ji Zheng in his memory.

Ji Zheng suddenly felt dizzy and hot, his heart seemed to be punched hard twice, and he was screaming loudly, and he calmed down and said: "It's me."

He listened carefully to the voice on the phone, and heard the man take a deep breath, then smiled hastily, and said in a little panic: "I, I, I, I have been calling this number for a long time, but unexpectedly Got through... Oh my god, I didn't expect to get through... No, I'm a little dizzy now, brother Ji Zheng, I'll call you back later!"

The other party hung up the phone, and Ji Zheng was still listening to the phone in a daze.

What is he saying?This number was only activated 5 minutes ago, and no one knew that he would apply for a new mobile phone number that night. He also chose a random number, and no one would predict in advance what number he would choose.At present, this number belongs to him for no more than 5 minutes, and he has not had the opportunity to tell the second person other than himself the number.But he said that he has been calling this number to find him, and he has been calling for a long time——

How is this going?

Ji Zheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly searched through the phone's call records, and found the call that came in just now. When he saw the time of the call, his eyes were spinning again.

The time of the call was 7:12 on July 19, which was consistent with the clock on the phone screen, but what surprised Ji Zheng was the month and the year ahead of the time.

In 2018... the system actually showed that the call was made six years later.

And the time is now 2012.

纪征以为手机日期设置出了问题，但是他回到桌面，桌面赫然显示——2012年7月12号19点23分。

Ji Zheng supported his forehead and closed his eyes forcefully, trying to suppress the overwhelming dizziness in his mind as soon as possible.

He wanted to call back the call to find out, but suddenly he heard a woman screaming from the direction of the shopping mall behind him.

"what!"

Ji Zheng looked back, only to find that the shopping mall was gone, replaced by a commercial building with a height of more than ten floors, each floor was shining brightly with clear white light.On the third floor hangs a signboard with colored lights, spelling out the words 'Lido Hotel' with light tubes.

A woman in cheap work clothes rushed out from the first floor of the hotel screaming all the way, yelling frantically: "Killed! Killed!"

The woman rushed past him, Ji Zheng turned his head and saw that the parking lot where he parked just now was gone, and even the street and the splendid high-rise buildings on both sides of the street were no longer what he had just seen.
