Chapter 206 A certain time when the protagonist is not around
Chapter 206 A certain time when the protagonist is not around
A full hour has passed since I roughly sorted things out.
"What on earth is going on..."
But Xia Xianyue still kept tossing and turning in the room, pacing back and forth.
Even though he died miserably, he did not forget those things and returned to his bedroom.
I tried adding Su Yao's WeChat account, and the response I got was the cold night air.
I turned on the air conditioner and waited for the warm air to blow out from the cracks before it became slightly warmer.
Confuse.
Puzzled.
There is no doubt that the current body is real.
If you sum up all the memories, then it should be true for you.
That···
Where's Ah Yao?
If he remembers it, he shouldn't ignore me.
Try calling.
[Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unanswered]
[Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unanswered]
【···】
I called three times and no one answered.
I wanted to try again and suddenly discovered a fact.
If you are the only one who remembers these illusory yet extremely real memories, then wouldn’t what you do be pure harassment?
Or maybe you are sick?
To be honest, my head is really messed up. The more I think about it, the more dizzy I feel.
"Hello? Xiaoyue?"
"Ah, alive..."
I tried calling Lin Xiaowan, but was picked up shortly after.
"What are you alive for? When did I die?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was still tired and yawned twice.
"That, spider..."
"Spider? Ha..."
Lin Xiaowan seemed to have steeled himself and replied, "What are you doing? Don't tell me you called me in the middle of the night because you saw a spider. That's not right. You usually pretend to be a cat to scare the other person away."
.”
"No, that's not what I'm talking about."
"What the hell is that, meow? We are really sleepy. If you have any questions, please tell us quickly."
"It's okay, I just can't sleep."
“···”
There was silence for a while on the other end of the phone, "What happened?"
"No really. It's just that I may have something that makes my stomach feel uncomfortable after eating something during the day."
"Don't you have some stomach medicine at home? Eat some and drink more hot water to warm it up. Think about the person you like and rub your belly and it will be fine."
"What..."
"What? You know it yourself. Okay, I can't keep my eyes open. I'm too tired from working on my thesis today."
"Good night."
The phone was hung up.
He stared blankly at the phone again for a while.
"If this goes on..."
"no."
Xia Xianyue stood up suddenly and decisively changed her pajamas into a white down jacket to keep out the cold.
Push the door open.
It's still raining and sleeting outside.
She didn't go back to get the umbrella, she just put the dog tail cap that came with her down jacket on and hailed a taxi at the door.
"Total 23 yuan."
"Ah, okay."
Pay the bill and get off the car.
Waiting for the taxi to drive away, Xia Xianyue looked blankly at the rooms above the apartment.
There is no light.
It is now around 10pm and close to 11pm. It is normal for normal people to turn off the lights and go to sleep.
If I were just at this time, I would never choose to visit at this time when I would definitely be disgusted.
But now...
To confirm.
"Dang——"
As I walked up the stairs, every step felt extremely heavy.
In other words, it felt like my heart was being ripped apart.
Is it real?
You cannot have 100% peace of mind until you can verify it. You may even be sick.
No,
No.
I have never had such a realistic dream.
To be honest, I can't imagine the details because I have never experienced anything like that.
Before, what I longed for were beautified images.
But now it seems that incredible details have emerged in my mind, as well as my own shameful voice.
This kind of...
There are so many things that are completely real.
If it is really a psychotic delusion to this extent, it can be said to be remarkable.
"Boom——"
Finally arrived at the door.
The heart beats wildly involuntarily.
Why?
Logically speaking, from memory, I should be able to knock on the door easily and make the sound naturally.
But now Xia Xianyue stretched out her hand and hesitated for a while before gently knocking on the door.
“···”
Didn't get a response.
"Dong dong."
The force was slightly increased, but it was still half as strong as a normal person knocking on the door.
"——"
"call--"
Xia Xianyue took a deep breath and rang the bell at once.
"Ding bell, jingle bell..."
The doorbell does remind me of it in the silent night.
But there was no light in the crack of the door, and no sound was heard.
"...Ah Yao?"
Try shouting with your voice.
He raised his hand again, then took it back.
Is it possible that Ah Yao just fell asleep?
The time to meet Ah Yao should be tomorrow morning. Why are you so anxious?
We'll know everything until tomorrow.
If you follow the order...
Although it’s really hard to bear, I’ll keep knocking like this.
···
That is to say, as no one responded to the electric bells and knocks on the door, I became more and more timid inside. I was only afraid of doing something wrong and didn't want to be disliked.
Even if everything that happened in my memory is true, I don’t want to do something that will be disliked by the people I like. This is a matter of principle for myself.
Therefore, after much hesitation, Xia Xianyue decided to give up today.
It's just one night, not ten years, not ten days, it's a time that can be waited for.
"Creak——"
But Xia Xianyue had just reached the stairs and was surprised to hear the sound of a door being opened.
It looked particularly vivid in the silent night.
Turn your gaze.
No one was there, but the door did open a crack. There was no light coming from inside.
But she clearly saw a shadow twisting along the afterglow of the street lamp outside downstairs.
He turned around almost subconsciously.
Then the legs take steps naturally.
step.
Two steps.
···
trot.
"Ah Yao!"
At that moment, I didn't care, and the volume naturally increased.
"···?"
However, when I got to the door and opened the ajar door, there was no one I liked inside.
But someone is there.
It's a little girl.
Wearing only a loose short-sleeved shirt, he sat curled up on the sofa.
The TV was on, but there was no sound. Only the cold fluorescent light shone on her body. Even Xia Xianyue couldn't help but envy her snow-white and milk-smooth skin.
"...Xiao Youye?"
After hesitation, Xia Xianyue stepped in.
“···”
Youye just raised his head and glanced at her, then retracted his gaze and said, "Big brother is not here."
After saying that, she moved her butt to the side and lightly patted the area next to her with her little hands.
"Do you want me to sit here?"
Seeing You Ye nodding, Xia Xianyue hesitated for a moment and then went over to sit. However, he kept a subtle distance from her.
"This is what my eldest brother left for my sister."
"?"
Following You Ye's slightly shorter fingers, Xia Xianyue caught a glimpse of blue sticky notes on the coffee table.
[I am Su Yao, when you see this parchment, I will be dead...]
"What...what?"
Xia Xianyue froze completely.
A bone-chilling chill brushed across his cheeks.
"Oh, that was written by You Ye at the request of the elder brother. You must turn over and read the words that the elder brother really left."
Youye turned over the note in her hand.
[Don’t be impatient. I went out to do some small errands and will be back soon.]
"What, is this...really, ugh."
Xia Xianyue breathed a sigh of relief again, but tears still flowed down inexplicably.
"It was the elder brother who told You Ye to write like that to scare my sister."
"But Youye doesn't think it's good to do that."
"Of course it's not good!"
Xia Xianyue couldn't help but raise her voice, "Why are you bullying me like this? It will really make you cry."
"Big Brother also said that this can enhance our relationship."
"It's a hell of a promotion! It's true!"
Xia Xianyue took out a tissue and wiped her face with resentment, and watched the silent version of Animal World with Youye in a daze.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex was swimming across a river with its five children. Two of the baby dragons fell behind and were instantly eaten by the huge creatures in the river.
"Why don't you turn on the sound?"
"Because Youye thinks it would be more effective to scare your sister if you don't turn up your voice."
"...I really look like an idiot."
Xia Xianyue sighed helplessly and covered her face.
"Does sister know I'm a monster?"
"...Eh?"
The sudden topic caught Xia Xianyue off guard and turned her eyes.
But he found that those pure pupils were locked onto him with weak fluorescence, and in the dim environment, he could clearly see the slender shadow rising up behind the little figure.
"This is Yuye's tail."
“···”
Xia Xianyue looked at the strange scene in front of her speechlessly.
"The last time my sister died, it can be said that it was Youye's fault."
"Including the unrest among humans."
You Ye looked away and stared at the TV screen again, "Sister, do you still remember those things?"
"Um···"
Xia Xianyue closed her hands and put them on her knees. She hesitated and said, "My best friend's legs were changed into spider legs. Later, he died and his body was separated. Later, even I was shot to death."
.”
"Probably, if that place really wasn't a dream, my body would be dismembered after my death."
Recalling the scenes that happened, my face can't help but turn pale, and my body will tremble slightly.
It is the instinctive resistance to face the horror and unwillingness to recall things.
"Whether it's my sister's friend or my sister herself."
"In the end, they were strung up on sticks and burned by those people."
And You Ye calmly told the follow-up that Xia Xianyue didn't know, "It was the eldest brother who took your pieces off the sticks and buried them in the soil."
"In the end, Youye failed to find a way to truly satisfy everyone."
"I can only spread the flowers of healing. If everyone is cured, if my elder brother stays in that world, he will surely be respected by humans and be regarded as a hero."
"Hero? What does that mean?"
Xia Xianyue frowned.
"But Yuye's real thoughts are not like that."
"I thought, things went wrong. But my eldest brother has the ability to travel through time. Although I don't know why even Youye and my sister were involved in it, but it can only be attributed to the love game."
"Love...game?"
Xia Xianyue struggled to repeat this weird ranking.
"It means that to Big Brother, sister is just an NPC in the game, and the purpose of defeating sister is to get mission rewards."
"Me? NPC... what is that?"
Xia Xianyue felt very confused.
"I'm sorry, that was Youye's lie."
"Huh?"
"My elder brother probably didn't tell my sister, because he didn't find the right time. Because my sister is just an ordinary human being, and she won't believe that such incredible things exist without the right time."
"But the existence of Youye itself is already incredible to humans, so my eldest brother mentioned it to Youye."
"The love game, that thing is... the weapon that big brother has always used to treat Yuye and my sister well."
"You mean, sister, do you want to know how many times my eldest brother died for You Ye and my sister?"
“···”
Xia Xianyue watched helplessly as Youye took out the laptop from the room.
"The elder brother spent a long time hand-typing the document, but Yuye felt that words alone could not express the impact, so he took it upon himself to reproduce the real experience described by the elder brother in the form of 2D animation."
"Next, please hold your breath, sister, and carefully appreciate everything that has ever happened inside."
That animation was done by Yuya, who is extremely skilled at it, so of course it’s not bad.
Both Youye and Su Yao appeared first, both with their own silhouettes. Although they were anime characters, they could be recognized at a glance.
The first screen.
Can exchange.
"turn out to be···"
"That's how you and Ah Yao met."
Xia Xianyue peeked at Youye's expression with a complicated expression, "That mouse..."
"It was the best food you had before you met your big brother. It was the best food you could have at that time."
“···”
Speechless, Xia Xianyue continued to watch the picture on the screen.
This is a very complete story.
Su Yao himself created with the intention of not beautifying or even vilifying himself. However, after being processed by Youye, it was more or less beautified again.
But those mental activities have not been missed, they have all been leaked.
For example——
'If you can survive tomorrow, come and book a room with me.'
'Does that woman care about my business?'
‘···’
The despicable and malicious ones are all clearly revealed.
Xia Xianyue stared blankly.
I saw Su Yao die again and again.
I see myself dying like a candy over and over again.
I also saw that Su Yao couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to flee the city with You Ye, but he committed suicide.
Those pictures gradually evoke the real feelings buried deep in my mind.
Seeing You Ye killing Su Yao again and again, I couldn't help but feel disgust towards You Ye. Of course, I also felt self-loathing when I saw that I was so paranoid about sticking up and causing trouble.
This kind of thing will cause the person you love to experience great pain...
I didn’t know until now.
But all of this is Su Yao's subjective description, and later on, he may have deliberately emphasized the beautiful moments.
Seeing You Ye is not really murderous.
Seeing that he almost died because of protecting the person he loved, he finally gained some favor.
···
When I see the person I like again, I think about it in my mind in order not to take advantage of myself...
"Why can it still be like this?"
It means that you have taken the initiative to that point, and the person you like is not so resistant to you.
Ahhh.
What is the Chandelier March?
So that’s it.
I thought before that there was something wrong with someone, but now it seems that the problem is simply with Ah Yao. It is really strange that he would suppress it with such a strange picture...
I think it would be even weirder if the person I like imagines that I can subtly feel cared about and feel a little bit happy about myself like this.
