Lu Jian didn't feel that everything he was experiencing now was real.
He knew very well that the girl in front of him and this world were all false.
No matter how beautiful, no matter how nostalgic, this is a false dream.
"I'm fine."
Lu Tian put the knife on the chopping board and gently raised his hand.
"Why are you here?"
Although he and the other party lived across the street, they were not from the same family. How could he appear here late at night when she had already gone to bed?
Could it be that in this fantasy world, she had done some animal things? Every night, she would sneak over and do bad things when adults weren't paying attention?
"I always have an uneasy feeling, so I wanted to come over and take a look. I happened to see you, Lu Jian, just now..."
she explained.
Oh, it seems that I am worse than an animal, so that’s okay.
"I just want to eat something and try the knife."
Lu Tan reassured.
"But there's nothing in your refrigerator."
She said reluctantly.
"This is what I learned in the hospital. It's called visualization practice. Because many things in the hospital are restricted, you can only use your imagination to simulate it. Like me just now, because I was hungry but there was nothing to eat at home.
So imagine yourself cooking something to relieve your hunger."
Lu Tan explained seriously.
"Really?"
The girl looked at Lu Kan, her eyes were still a little red, and her eyes were moist, reflecting the moonlight.
"If you want to learn, I can teach you."
"I don't want it!"
She was amused by Lu Tiao, and she was a little angry and a little funny. She lightly hit Lu Tiao's shoulder, sniffed again, and said.
"If you are hungry, I will cook noodles for you."
"It's so late, it's not very convenient."
Lu Tan declined politely.
"It doesn't matter. I'm hungry too. You can eat with me."
She said in a tone that could not be refused.
"Oh well."
Lu Tian waited for a while, and the girl took two bags of instant noodles from her house, and soon started a fire at Lu Tian's house.
Two pots of instant noodles were quickly served on the table.
Lu Tiao took a bite.
He put down his chopsticks quietly.
"What, isn't it delicious?"
The girl asked a little uneasily.
"Not really."
Lu Tan took another bite.
He finally understood why she immediately brought up the reason for going to the school cafeteria without even thinking about it when she first came home.
This was the first time that Lu Tan saw someone who couldn't even eat the instant noodles he cooked.
It can be said that he is a reverse cooking genius.
"Then eat it while it's hot."
The girl began to suck on the noodles and made a purring sound, not at all as elegant and quiet as ordinary girls.
Maybe it was also because he was so familiar with Lu Tan.
Seeing her struggling to slurp the noodles, Lu Tan could only finish the instant noodles with tears in his eyes.
Everyone has a bright future.
After soaking the bowl in water and preparing to wash it tomorrow, Lu Tan turned around and saw that the girl had no intention of leaving.
"Go back to sleep quickly."
Lu Tan said something, and then added another sentence at the end.
"I promise you, I won't do anything weird."
"I don't quite believe it."
She said, feeling like she was going to stay here tonight.
"I have to watch you, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well."
"Uh...but there's only one bed here."
Lu Tan looked at the pink and blue cat pajamas she was wearing, feeling a little worried about his own safety.
"Then let's sleep on the same bed. Didn't we often do this before?"
She said matter-of-factly.
Is it still a beast?
"Was the one you're talking about before...a primary school?"
Lu Tan asked hesitantly.
"kindergarten!"
She immediately retorted.
"It turns out he's still worse than a beast."
Lu Tan muttered.
"What's worse?"
She didn't hear clearly and asked.
"fine."
Lu Tan thought for a while. Although this was an illusion and he seemed to be able to do whatever he wanted, he was an upright person after all, so he pointed to the sofa.
"I'll sleep on the sofa."
"...That's okay too."
She didn't hesitate, closed the doors on both sides, and lay down on Lu Jian's bed.
The door was not closed, and the girl lying on the bed could see Lu Jian on the sofa.
Of course Lu Jian can also see over there.
The curtains were drawn, and the air-conditioning air was lingering under the indicator light showing the temperature. In the dim light, you could see her slender ankles and round toes. It seemed that she noticed Lu Jian's gaze, and the toes curled up slightly, as if she was shy.
Hidden in the quilt.
"...Are you asleep?"
Suddenly, the girl asked.
"not yet."
Lu Tiao responded.
"Do you still think everything now is an illusion and hypocritical?"
She asked, her voice softer than the moonlight, and before Lu Tan could answer, she continued.
"For this past year, you have not admitted that this world is real. In your mind, only the world full of crises and adventures, with monsters and superpowers is real."
"I heard you say that in that world, both me and Hongye died miserably, and there were others. You would always be alone in that world, facing everyone's departure."
"But, I do exist."
She sniffed, not sure if it was because the air conditioner was too cold or for other reasons.
"I have grown up here since I was a child. When I was in elementary school, I was scolded by my parents for secretly watching TV. When I was in junior high school, I was forced to have my hair cut off and cried for a long time. My favorite is the fried skewers made by the grandma at the school gate, with spicy sauce.
It’s delicious. I still have to study hard and try to get admitted to Jiangcheng University, and I can also be your school girl..."
"Are these all false?"
Lu Tan didn't answer.
"We are all real people..."
Her voice trembled slightly.
"Originally, I thought the doctor had cured you, but I didn't expect that you are still so far away from us. You treat us as people in dreams, as hallucinations, and don't value your own life."
"Please, wake up, please?"
Lu Tan was silent for a long time.
"good."
He responded, only to hear the other person sniffing.
Looking at each other in silence.
Lu Tan was lying on the sofa, thinking carefully about the current situation.
What he experienced in the past was definitely not false.
And now the world seems to have its own logic.
At least if he tries to hurt himself again, this girl will definitely stop him.
The most important thing is, what is he going to do now?
If Lu Tuan gives up completely and perishes in this world, what will he lose?
There is no need to think about saving the world, no need to face the dangers of foreign lands, no need to face those indescribable great beings. Although he has lost his identity as a great director and those extraordinary powers, in this world, the people he once met all live happily.
With.
It seems that this exchange is not bad?
What Lu Tan has always wanted is a life like this.
And the illusion realized it perfectly, and even resurrected the dead.
What else do you need to fight?
He took out his phone, opened WeChat, and saw the girl's name at the top.
Summer Amber.
Lu Tan closed his eyes, only the sound of the air conditioner running echoed in the room.
