Facts have proved that if you don’t seek death, you won’t die.
Doing manual labor under heavy rain not only makes you sweat but also gets drenched. This is an act of seeking death.
This resulted in most people catching a cold after the hot pot session ended that day.
Chen Zui's body is different from ordinary people. After all, he is a man with countless cameras hidden in his eyes. He is still full of energy when he wakes up the next day.
First, he rushed to Xueyuan South Road to meet with Tang Ran with Zhao Xiaokai, who had a runny nose, and finalized all the details of the debate competition held by the school after the holiday. Then he went to a hot pot restaurant to work on a marketing plan for the whole morning.
When it was noon, I looked at my brother Beast Xiaozhi squatting in the kitchen washing dishes with his butt sticking out and gave him a kick. Then I had lunch with Zhao Xiaokai and Wang Keke.
It was during this period that Wang Keke came to her senses: "My sister also caught a cold."
Chen looked up in astonishment: "She called me this morning and told me she was fine."
Wang Keke rolled her eyes at him, saying nothing.
Chen Zhi put down his chopsticks and went to the drugstore.
Then under the line "Licking a dog will lead to a good death" that flooded the screen, he bought a few medicines, took advantage of the noon sun, and went directly to Zhao Wanrou's house.
This time he planned to stay at his sister's house again on the pretext of seeing a doctor.
It has to be said that if you want to have a girlfriend, you must have this kind of energy. He also asked the barrage: "So what if you don't die well, it's better than being alone all your life, right?"
【……】
【……】
…
Knocked on the door and waited for a while.
The sound of slight footsteps came slowly in the room, and as soon as the door opened, my sister's face came into view.
Chen Zui was stunned for a moment. Zhao Wanrou's face was pale today, with an abnormal blush. Her whole person had lost its energy as before, and lacked its usual charm and neatness. Instead, it had a sickly and frail beauty.
So much so that when he saw her for the first time, Chen Zui's desire for protection and love was instantly heightened.
"Is it that serious?"
"It's okay, it's just a cold."
As she spoke, she took a step forward and sat on the sofa. She picked up the towel next to her and wrapped it around her body. She seemed to be a little cold.
"Do you have a fever?"
Chen Zui put the medicine he bought on the coffee table, sat next to her, and put the back of his hand against her forehead.
A little hot.
[Blind test, 37.7°C]
【I conclude, 38.5°C】
[I love you at 10.5 degrees, and every drop of pure distilled water.]
Chen Zhi could understand the first few lines, but when it came to the lyrics, he really didn't understand them and didn't have the time to understand them.
"Is there a thermometer?"
Zhao Wanrou hugged her long legs and huddled in the stall, shaking her head pitifully: "It's okay, just straighten it up and it'll be fine. I've been doing this since I was a child, and I rarely take medicine."
"Then is there any..."
"Yes, it's in the medicine box in the cabinet."
Chen Zui immediately stood up and found the thermometer under Zhao Wanrou's eyes.
After shaking it towards the sun, his wrist felt a little dislocated, the temperature gauge finally dropped to the lowest level, and then he handed it to Zhao Wanrou.
Taking it and holding it under her arm, Zhao Wanrou shuddered. In Chen Zui's eyes, her sister suddenly looked a little cute.
Five minutes later, Chen Zui took the thermometer and looked at the sun, his face darkening.
【37.8】, it’s considered a fever no matter what.
He immediately said: "If you have a fever, go to the hospital."
Zhao Wanrou shook her head resolutely: "It's okay, I'll just cover myself up and sleep, and then..."
Chen Zui: "Say more?"
Zhao Wanrou bit her lip: "I'm afraid of injections."
After saying that, she looked at Chen Zui pitifully and added firmly: "I'm very, very scared of you. You might faint at the sight of a needle."
【Then you will faint frequently in the future.】
[Sister, sister, it’s over, Chen Zui’s love is gone.]
Of course, Chen Zui's thinking couldn't keep up with the barrage, and he didn't even understand what nonsense they were saying.
But looking at Zhao Wanrou, who was sick and weak, she had no choice but to sit down: "Then..."
Zhao Wanrou didn't look at him, but whispered: "Just stay with me."
Hearing this, Chen Zui glanced out the window and felt that the sunlight shining into the room was a bit hot. He was about to melt, but he still moved his feet forcibly. He went to the kitchen and made her a bowl of antipyretic medicine that had been confirmed to have melted.
…
…
After the heavy rain yesterday, the sunshine is indeed bright today.
The light fell in the living room, mottled and warmed many of Zhao Wanrou's old objects.
For example, there are DVDs under the TV, and discs that are as good as new after opening the drawer.
Chen Zui casually pulled out one and put it directly into the DVD. Then he sat next to Zhao Wanrou, who had just drank the antipyretic medicine, and heard her ask: "Isn't it a ghost movie?"
????
Is this a hint?
I'm such a jerk, why not choose a ghost movie?
It just so happens that she's still a little cold...
Although this is what I think in my head, of course when I say it, I say: "No, it's not appropriate to watch a ghost movie on such a sunny day."
Zhao Wanrou nodded with satisfaction: "That's good." Then she wrapped herself in a blanket, wrapped her hands in it, and fixed her eyes on the TV.
The title of the film soon appeared on the screen, translated as "The Truman Show" from a foreign film.
I soon discovered that this was actually a black and white film.
Chen Zuizheng wanted to change the disc, but Zhao Wanrou stopped her: "I remember it was quite good, but I forgot the specific plot."
"Yeah?"
After hearing this, Chen Zui sat down and watched the movie with her for the first time.
…
Warm light, comfortable temperature.
The sound from the TV gradually weakened in my ears.
Zhao Wanrou, who was already low on energy, was about to collapse on the sofa.
Chen Zuizi saw her body tilting and gently pulled her, causing her to fall into his arms.
So she lay on his lap.
Chen Zui smiled and looked at the corners of his sleeping sister's mouth turned up. Under the barrage of "shameless" verbal attacks, he put his hands on the eaves of the sofa and watched the movie comfortably.
Just watching, his brows became tighter and tighter.
"The Truman Show" tells the story of the protagonist Truman who has been living in a small town called Seaview since he was a child. He is an agent of an insurance company in this small town. Truman seems to be living exactly the same life as ordinary people.
Life, but he doesn't know that there are thousands of cameras facing him every second of his life.
The whole world is watching him every moment, and he doesn't know that everyone around him, including his wife and friends, are actors in "The Truman Show."
When the truth was revealed, it turned out that Truman adopted a baby 30 years ago from Omnicon Television Production Company, and they deliberately trained him to become the protagonist of the world's most popular documentary soap opera "The Truman Show."
This has achieved great success. However, there is only one person who is completely unaware of all this. He is Truman, the only protagonist of the play.
When the movie ended, Chen Zui didn't feel that the truth of this story is to tell us that in today's stylized world, all of us are actually closed off like Truman. What's even more sad is that we are not related to each other.
The Trumans are not exactly the same, because it is others who close The Trumans, and it is ourselves who close us...
He just suddenly felt a little scared in the originally warm room, in the originally comfortable environment, and in the intimate feeling of having his sister pillowing his legs.
Chen Zui raised his head and his pupils dilated: "I'm not Truman, am I?"
[It’s over, my head is spinning after watching a movie.]
【No, we are all your friends.】
[Do you believe that there are two identical worlds in this universe, but with different time flow rates and subtle differences? 】
After these words, the barrage suddenly completely disappeared from the world in front of Chen Zui.
