Looking at the computer screen, I was completely stunned. Is Mai Xiaorou really dead? If so, who is the woman I have been dating these days?
Or should I say, the person I am dating is not a human at all, but a ghost!
Impossible, how could there be ghosts in this world? I should go find Mai Xiaorou and Grandpa Mai now and ask the question clearly.
I didn't talk to Zhang Xia anymore, and Zhang Xia didn't reply to messages. After a while, her QQ account turned black and white, and she went offline.
I turned off QQ and had no intention of playing games. My mind was filled with things about Mai Xiaorou.
In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I left the Internet cafe and headed towards Chunxiao on Cuidi. On the way, I was filled with anxiety and fear. If Mai Xiaorou really died, she would really turn into a ghost and come looking for her.
Me, then didn’t I just throw myself into a trap now?
Even though my heart was full of fear, I still walked downstairs to Mai Xiaorou by accident. I looked up at the fourth floor. The light of 401 was still on. Was Mai Xiaorou and Grandpa Mai still asleep?
I was tired of drooling, and finally decided to go upstairs to have a look.
There are voice-activated lights in this corridor, but after I stepped in and coughed a few times, the lights did not come on. There was no power outage in this community, so the lights were probably broken.
I entered with a mask, then took out my phone to light it up, climbed up the stairs, and reached the first floor. I coughed a few more times, and then ducked a few times. The corridor was still dark, and all the lights in the corridor were
Aren't they all broken?
After a while I reached the fourth floor and stood in front of the door of 401. I hesitated a little. Should I knock on the door?
With my hand raised in the air, I never dared to knock it down.
At this moment, I suddenly felt something moving behind me. Before I could turn around, I felt someone hit me hard on the back of my head with something. My vision went dark and I fainted.
"Bang bang bang..."
A knock on the door slowly made me wake up.
After opening my eyes, I found myself lying on the sofa in the living room of Mai Xiaorou's house, with a blanket covering me. The back of my head hurt even more. The pain reminded me of what happened last night. Who was it?
Are you planning to sneak attack on me to make money?
But my wallet and mobile phone were clearly placed on the coffee table in front of me. I didn't have a few hundred yuan in my wallet. Looking at the exposed edges of the money, I knew there was plenty of money.
Wait, this is not the point. The point is the purpose of my coming here last night, to ask questions about Mai Xiaorou.
In a blink of an eye, I thought about a lot of things.
"Bang bang bang..."
The knocking on the door continued. Why was there no one at home? Grandpa Mai and Mai Xiaorou were not there. How did I get in last night?
"Grandpa Mai, Xiaorou?" I called tentatively twice, but no one spoke in the empty room.
I quickly got up from the sofa, then opened the door to see if Mai Xiaorou or Grandpa Mai was back.
After the door opened, I found a woman in her thirties standing outside the door. She wore glasses and was a little surprised when she saw me.
I asked her who she was looking for, and she said: "I am the landlord here. Uncle Mai said that he would not rent the house here anymore and asked me to come over and clean it up."
No more renting? Grandpa Mai and Mai Xiaorou have moved out? It seems like this is really weird!
When the landlord saw that I was silent, he asked, "Who are you? Do you know Uncle Mai?"
All I was thinking about was Mai Xiaorou and Grandpa Mai, so I asked the landlord: "Do you know where Grandpa Mai and her granddaughter have moved to live?"
The landlord was stunned for a while and said: "Granddaughter? Does Uncle Mai have a granddaughter? Why didn't I know? I live downstairs. Uncle Mai usually lives here alone. How can he have a granddaughter? Besides, he looks crazy every day.
Damn it, why did you tell me where to move to? By the way, who are you?"
I said, "I am a fellow villager of Grandpa Mai. Yesterday I came over and stayed overnight at Uncle Mai's place. When I woke up, Grandpa Mai was not there. He must have gone out."
The landlord said "Oh" and said, "Okay, anyway, this house is due at the end of the month. When Uncle Mai comes back, you can ask him to call me back to confirm the time to move out."
I said "ok" and watched the landlord go downstairs.
After waiting for the landlord to leave, I stood alone in the room and started to feel dazed. The landlord said that Grandpa Mai had always lived here, so was the Mai Xiaorou I had seen these days really a ghost?
I took a breath and didn't dare to stay in this room any longer. I ran back to the coffee table, picked up my wallet and cell phone and prepared to leave. But just as I was about to leave, Mai Xiaorou's door creaked.
It opened on its own with a sound.
There was a "thump" in my heart, and I stopped running away.
A scent of fragrance floated out. It was the fragrance of Mai Xiaorou. I looked in the direction of the room and called softly: "Xiaorou, is that you? Are you at home?"
No one answered, I swallowed, and then walked over slowly. I have been getting along with Mai Xiaorou these days. If she wanted to harm me, she would have done it long ago, and she would not have waited until now, so even if she was a ghost.
It won't hurt me.
While comforting myself, I slowly walked to the door of Mai Xiaorou's room.
I glanced at the room and was stunned. There were two yellow charms posted on the window and mirror. There were several clothes thrown on the bed. They were all worn by Mai Xiaorou when I met them. They were red nightgowns and dresses.
, and that snow-white dress.
Mai Xiaorou's appearance kept flashing in my mind, and I found myself missing her a little!
There is also a piece of paper placed in front of the mirror on the dressing table, which is densely covered with red writing.
I don’t know where I got the courage. I walked to the mirror in a few steps and took the paper with red letters in my hand.
"Chen Yu, I'm sorry for lying to you, but it's true that I asked you to be my boyfriend. Originally, I wanted to spend more time with you, but you found out about me from Zhang Xia last night.
I can't keep hiding it from you. I left, not because I was avoiding you, but because my grandpa and I had something very important to do."
"In addition, I borrowed thirty years of Yangshou from you. By the way, you only have fifty-one years of Yangshou. If you don't take it back, you will definitely not survive this year. If you want to live, come to my hometown.
, only by finding me can you get your life back, remember to come alone!"
Signed: Mai Xiaorou.
Behind the signature, a blood-red naughty expression was painted!
This passage was like a bolt from the blue to me. I was only fifty-one years old, and yet I was "borrowed" for thirty years!
Just when I was about to read the contents on the piece of paper again, the piece of paper suddenly burned with a "bang". I was startled and threw the piece of paper away.
The flames burned so brightly that the piece of paper was reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.
This room was so weird that I was so frightened that I turned around and started running out.
After going downstairs, I ran out of the community and ran two blocks to the school gate before I stopped to catch my breath. I still couldn't believe that all of this was true. I pinched my arm hard, and the pain made me feel sad.
I realized clearly that I was not dreaming.
When I returned to school, I began to feel in a daze because all I could think about was Mai Xiaorou.
After the weekend, I went to the wrong classroom for several days in a row. One time, I accidentally entered the women's bathroom and was kicked out by a female classmate inside. Then I was sent to the security department of the school. If the teacher hadn't noticed that I was in a bad state of mind, I would have been kicked out.
Well, when you ask me questions, you are always absent-minded, and you will definitely not forgive me lightly.
After a round of criticism and education, the teacher asked me to go to the hospital for a check-up, preferably to a psychiatrist.
Naturally, I did not go to any psychiatric department, but continued to hang out in school. The month passed quickly, the weather turned colder, and the autumn mood became stronger.
After a month of rest, my mental state has improved a lot, but the incident about Mai Xiaorou still lingers in my mind. I didn't go to Mai Xiaorou's hometown to look for her because I didn't have the courage.
Since she can take away my thirty years of life, it is not difficult for her to take away the remaining half year. I am afraid that if I go to her hometown, I will lose even the remaining half year of my life.
But if I don't go, I might die after the New Year, and I don't want to die yet.
Contradictions linger in my mind, making it difficult for me to make a choice.
That night, everyone in the dormitory went to bed, but I couldn't fall asleep. I have become accustomed to this kind of intermittent insomnia in the past month. If I have insomnia today, I will definitely sleep like a dead pig tomorrow night.
"Buzzing..."
It was the sound of my phone vibrating. I took it out from beside the pillow and looked at it. It was a QQ message from Mai Xiaorou.
"did you miss me!"
I immediately became energetic. I wasn't sleepy at first, but now I couldn't fall asleep at all. I held my phone with my mouth wide open, and I didn't know how to reply for a while.
"I know you have seen my message. Please reply to my message quickly. I have missed you this month. By the way, didn't you see the note I left for you? Why didn't you come to me!"
I hesitated for a while before typing: "Are you a human or a ghost?"
"It's not a ghost anyway!"
"you are still alive?"
"According to numerology, I am already dead! But I borrowed thirty years of your life, and now I am considered alive!"
"Why do you want to lend me your life?"
"Because I have something very important to do. You will understand later. When will you come to my hometown to find me? I miss you so much."
"Why don't you borrow someone else's?"
"Chen Yu, because I can only borrow yours."
"Why?"
"Because you are my boyfriend!"
"Are you plotting against me?"
"without!"
Then Mai Xiaorou sent another aggrieved expression, and then continued to send a message: "Chen Yu, I really didn't plot against you. You may not believe me if I tell you. I lent your life for your own good. Come on.
Come to me in your hometown and I will give you my life back and tell you the truth of the matter. In addition, as compensation, I will accompany you well!" (To be continued)
