Suppose there are two rooms, the left is life and the right is death. Originally you were on the left, and everything about you is there.
One day, you die.
When you reach the room on the right, there is a wall between you and the room on the left. No matter what sound you make or do, the other side has no way of knowing.
You think you're dead because everything you had in the left room is lost.
However, one day, everything you owned in the left room was transferred to the right.
You have everything again.
Now, how to define which room is life and which room is death?
This is probably a ridiculous question.
But what she was waiting for was takeout. She said she had something to do at school and would be late.
"The second time?"
People are all the same to some extent.
When Qiao Qing took her back to the hospital, her fever had reached almost 41 degrees.
"Su Yao, what's going on with your job?"
Su Yao, who had always said this sentence with a hint of retort as a joke, always felt a subtle feeling.
Here, live again. I abandoned my original intention and made a new wish.
Where did you say that?
Can't remember anything.
in pairs.
"I'm almost dead, and I still have to come here and be dumped by you."
"Even tuition depends on help from the state. I have to apply for subsidies for poor students."
Facing the fear of the unknown, he couldn't even leave the bed. He could only sit quietly on the bed in a daze. He was getting more and more anxious, and if he continued at that time, he would definitely go crazy at some point.
I didn’t smoke either, so I just picked up a candy and put it in my mouth. The sweet taste seemed a little less interesting than cigarettes. But it still managed to make my thoughts clearer.
"When you buy fruit for daily consumption, do you need to put it in a gift box?"
"Is there anything else?"
Can't understand.
"Thank you, besides eating it after you get it, remember to send it to the group chat to say that the store manager takes great care of his employees."
"It's not like there's no luck with women...for example, in the store where the senior works, the store manager has a crush on the senior."
In addition, my heart was heavy, and I even went out to work in the ice and snow without taking a good rest.
"But it was the seniors who helped me out again."
"No...Senior doesn't have much luck with women. He doesn't like to take the initiative to talk to anyone. He's the kind of person who only realizes that he's good after getting to know him well."
"I understand. I'm really sorry for causing you any trouble."
"Senior, that..."
Su Yao chewed up the coconut candy because it was troublesome, "Do you still want to talk about your destination?"
Su Yao shook the cigarette ashes and said, "The reason you left the message is because you lied about my relationship with you?"
Su Yao took another piece of rabbit meat, looked at the time and said, "Eat first. When you are full, you can continue to school. That is your main job."
"Crack."
"People like seniors, although they are not very proactive, will exude great attraction as long as they are a little familiar with them. It is easy to think that someone better than me will appear."
If Qiao Qing was working on his behalf at the store where he worked, he wouldn't be able to come back until at least twelve o'clock.
Qiao Qing looked away, "My senior and I are not in a relationship at all."
Her head buried deeper.
"I found that my senior had fallen asleep on the sofa a long time ago, and I felt a little disappointed. I also felt that my senior was a really serious person. Over time, I will always feel very safe here."
The dry pot must have been specially ordered not to use chili pepper, as it looks quite bland.
"Well, there is a cultural festival coming soon, so I decorated the classroom with a few cadres in the class and made some props and the like. The seniors also know that I am the class monitor, so I have to take the lead in all these things."
"What? Store manager? Are you kidding me?"
"Then you should have a good rest and stop running around. I bought you some fruit and asked your little girlfriend to bring it back."
"Sorry, senior."
"I thought you were a ghost."
The last time Su Yao woke up in the hospital, she was staring at the wall alone in a daze.
If I want to describe it exactly, I would feel uncomfortable sitting on the bed, feeling strange when looking out the window, and feeling frightened when hearing people talking...
Su Yao never mentioned this matter from the hospital to her return, and neither did she, but everyone knew that it would definitely be mentioned later.
"Ah, I just passed by a fruit stand and found that the stand was not confiscated, so I just--"
“···”
After I truly realized that there was such an existence, that it really existed here, the void in my heart was filled with warm things again.
Habitually, I picked up a cigarette because my thoughts were confused.
"I still don't have much energy. I should get better tomorrow if I get some sleep."
"What were you thinking about living in my house for the first time?"
That body was much weaker than his own, and it seemed to rush towards him and hug him tightly. It was crying softly again.
"Because it's my fault, I'm the one to ask for leave. I'll explain it to the store manager. Senior, you don't have to worry about anything. You just need to stay home and rest."
She was silent for a moment and shook her head.
"Well...there was a thunderstorm, and I was afraid and asked my senior to let me stay overnight. Since then, I have occasionally deliberately found reasons to stay, but my senior has never done anything to me. He even deliberately looked at me when I was taking a shower.
Smoking outside, come back later."
At noon, Qiao Qing came back with food bought outside.
I always feel like I'm trying to remember something, but when I try to grab a specific fragment, I can't remember anything.
"Have I said this to you before-"
However, I was thinking seriously and came up with distorted results.
Who do you always seem to say this to?
"This is weird no matter how you think about it. Did I hire two people for one price? Can you keep your private life out of the store?"
This is really the first time Su Yao has heard of it.
"sorry···"
"If you say so, you are indeed quite hateful."
"But this kind of situation must never happen again. Even if I am very optimistic about you and think you have good abilities, I will have to consider whether to continue using you if this happens again."
Su Yao guessed many facts.
Is there anything at school that requires you to be busy until ten o'clock in the evening?
Before Su Yao tried to think, he received a call from the store.
"Then besides you, is there anyone else who gets this kind of treatment?"
"Aren't you going to insist on breaking up anymore?"
The store manager sighed, "I'm confused. It's all because of her that you got sick, so I have to take over your job without any salary."
It was the store manager who called, and his tone was anything but polite.
"What qualifications do I have to accept the kindness of my senior? A despicable person like me."
"Although it's not a relationship, you did come to my place, and you did have your own slippers, towels, and mugs here?"
"Why would you say that? I don't want to say that either."
"If I hadn't had to call the seniors out..."
Su Yao took a puff of cigarette and said, "Do you believe that if you have dated someone so many times that you can live under the same roof, you are still considered pure?"
"That day I confessed to my senior again at the station because I felt guilty. I didn't tell the truth before I confessed, so it was still a confession of lies."
"I have no idea···"
His eyes accidentally fell to the mug on the table.
"The store manager occasionally hugs the senior's shoulders affectionately, pretending to be a good friend and joking, but I have never seen her do this with other men. Moreover, the store manager is single. I heard that she wants to find a local, preferably someone from the local area.
I’m dating a junior student at Dongshi University.”
Unacceptable.
"Explanations will be dispensed with for now."
There is also a subtle feeling.
When it was over, she packed up the empty disposable lunch box, took it out, threw it away, and went directly to school.
To be honest, even if she didn't say it, Su Yao planned to rest at home for a day. Although his current state was no longer uncomfortable, he still had little energy and little appetite.
"Well, I'm sorry...I suddenly caught a cold."
But I never expected that she was deceiving herself from the very beginning.
“···”
"no?"
She raised her face and stared straight at Su Yao, "What happened to me at school."
"I am a rustic and not in good shape. I can only work hard and study hard."
After she sat on the edge, Su Yao was silent for a moment before speaking, "Now you can tell me why you suddenly left me a message to break up."
He reached out and gently touched her hair. Her cheeks were soft and her eyelashes were trembling slightly. She was very cute.
"cheat?"
"next time?"
"Yeah... I almost know."
"Okay, I don't want to say anything to you. The reasons your girlfriend told others also gave me face, so I have nothing to say. I will pay you the salary as usual."
"I know you have a cold, and I won't blame you for force majeure. But your girlfriend..."
Su Yao still felt a little uncomfortable, but compared to what he felt at the moment when he lost consciousness, it was just drizzle.
Her head was still buried low, and her mood didn't seem to be high. It was probably quite painful for her to confide this in person.
"Senior..."
Su Yao patted the empty seat on the sofa next to her.
"What are you busy with at school?"
She waved her hands hurriedly.
Qiao Qing followed her instructions and picked up her chopsticks to eat together.
She walked in and found Su Yao sitting on the sofa looking at her, obviously a little flustered, "Well, I was a little busy and a little late."
“···”
Su Yao tried to take a few bites and it tasted pretty good.
"Thank you, store manager."
Could it be that this is how I treated Qiao Qing in the past?
When there was no time to think, his lips were blocked by the same soft thing.
“···”
Su Yao's body is fine.
"I searched outside for a long time and couldn't find any restaurant that I particularly liked, so I just packed up the hotpot rabbit and a few side dishes."
"Um."
"Besides, I am a liar. I am rustic, have no money, and love to lie."
"?"
——
"I'm really sorry..."
"I'm not that picky either."
"But I deceived the senior."
Maybe she was sleeping very lightly, but she woke up just by putting his finger on her cheek with such a gentle movement.
"It's very strange. Since I have no luck with women, why are you lying? I think with your level and being with me for a while, you can easily win me over."
After a few more pleasantries, the phone hung up.
"···Um."
Very boring question.
"Senior, just rest at home."
"Crack-"
I plan to...
“···”
She stopped at the door, looking at the fruits wrapped in gift boxes placed at the entrance and was speechless.
"No, no, there will be no next time."
Qiao Qing looked down at her slippers for a long time, "I don't think I'm worthy of being a principal."
"We'll talk more slowly in the evening when we're free."
"I'll see you next time..."
In fact, the time she came back was within a few minutes of Su Yao's prediction.
He watched Qiao Qing stand up, stand on the opposite side of the coffee table, and bend down slightly.
"It's really disgusting, even I think so."
"Not only did he almost know it, but he also helped me change my current situation and did a lot of things."
"Instead of letting others take over and let others delay you, I think it's better for me to delay it myself."
"It must be because I was so disgusting that I got retribution at school. I deserve it all."
Su Yao rubbed his temples and looked at the clock. It was now half past ten in the evening.
"···good."
"Obviously the senior was in that state, and yet I said those words..."
"ah?"
But compared with that time, there was another shadow of another person beside the bed, sitting on a plastic stool, lying on the right side of the quilt, curled up.
Just like this time, I woke up alone at night.
"I begged my senior to buy them for me. Senior is the kind of character who can't refuse requests."
"Before the senior had an accident and lost his memory. No, the day the senior lost his memory, I asked him to come out and want to confess."
What came from her was very warm and pure emotion.
Feeling empty inside.
"Senior...I..."
"Would Senior... be willing to have someone like me?"
"Huh? Not worthy?"
"I didn't think about anything... I was just afraid of thunder."
Fortunately, my brain was not burned out and my body was fine. I stayed in the hospital for one night and one morning and then went home.
Chewed a few pieces of meat, swallowed it, and said, "Sentiment, you really treat me as a seriously ill patient. I just have a cold, not paralysis."
"...Senior?"
That's a subconscious action that can't be compared to words that can be fake.
The main source of the problem was that I took a cold shower for too long the night before and had a bad cold. I went to the hospital and had a hasty infusion before leaving.
"Anyway."
In the afternoon, Su Yao thought Qiao Qing would come directly.
“···”
"Woo..."
"Those famous delinquents suddenly switched sides to help me out, and it was also the senior's fault."
"The accident happened because of me, but after that I found out that the senior had lost his memory and was lying."
Su Yao frowned.
The smell of disinfectant is not pleasant.
But Su Yao's thoughts were interrupted when he raised his face with tears in his eyes.
"When an excluded high school student falls in love with a serious and outstanding older college student, he always feels inferior."
She sat awkwardly on the side, putting her hands on her skirt and pressing her, "It's all my fault, so I have the responsibility to take care of the seniors."
Su Yao took back his hand and smiled slightly.
"I have nightmares every day. I dream that my senior remembers everything and says, 'You are such a disgusting guy.'"
"That's..."
"call--"
"Senior must have known about it a long time ago."
——
“···”
At the moment when you almost lose something, or in other words, when you regain it, there must be a strong emotion of cherishing it even more.
Her tone became low, and she felt like she was about to cry, "I think the senior may have a crush on me, but that may also be a unilateral misunderstanding on my part. Because I like the senior, I take it upon myself to think so."
"I didn't realize you loved lying so much before. Even if you lie, you should do it logically."
“···”
"How is your body now?"
"Let's change our shoes first and sit over here before we talk."
"You come here often, have you spent the night here before?"
"Then you who sent me to the hospital and kissed me excitedly after I woke up. You who took care of me afterwards and went to work for me and then came back here. Now you're sitting here as you said, being tacky and having no money.
You love lying, are you still planning to leave because of this?"
"It's because of me..."
"But then again, isn't it obvious that what you are doing now is completely contrary to what you said yesterday?"
"Really, all joking aside, please work more seriously for me. I also plan to send you to a branch to try out as a store manager. Do you understand?"
"Why do you suddenly think of buying so much fruit?"
This kind of experience...just refers to the experience at the end, it is still very joyful.
"Maybe the seniors who know these things already hate me to the extreme."
"Even I know it's a bit disgusting to say this again."
"But I still want to do it all over again, and tell the seniors again."
"I like my senior, can you let me be my girlfriend?"
