The mother couldn't help but open her eyes when she saw the soaked boy. She quickly put down her clothes and walked forward.
"Xiaotian? What's wrong with you!?"
"I'm fine, I want to take a shower."
Then the young man went upstairs alone.
This was the first time that my mother had seen her son look so lost. Although she didn't know what happened, she could tell that the boy was in a bad state.
Dad came out and asked, "What happened?"
Mom shook her head.
After bathing, return to the house.
Chu Xiaotian lay on the bed and closed his eyes.
Obviously, Yoko already knew a lot of things, and even realized that he was not the original Chu Xiaotian. No matter whether anyone helped her or not, it was meaningless now.
In his current state, he doesn't even have the motivation to think about it.
Only confusion remains.
what to do?
How can we face Yoko tomorrow? And Chiba...will Yoko tell her?
Nothing seems to matter anymore.
I just felt powerless, without anger or any emotion, just as if I wanted to continue to be decadent.
Even the last thing I wanted to hide was discovered.
I always feel that I can predict that there may be nothing left around him in the end.
Terrible.
Finally the boy fell asleep and was woken up early in the morning.
When the boy was getting ready to go out, his mother said: "Xiaotian...if you encounter something you can't solve, you can tell your parents."
Chu Xiaotian turned around and nodded.
Out the door.
As usual, Chiba was waiting for him outside the door.
"Xiao...Xiaotian?"
When Chiba was about to say hello, he was suddenly stunned. The young man's expression was very bad.
Chu Xiaotian nodded slightly to the girl and said, "Let's go."
Apparently, Yoko hasn't told Chiba what happened yesterday.
He was slightly relieved, but he also knew that since Yoko already knew about it, Chiba would also know about it sooner or later.
The young man's face looked very weak, and his whole person looked very fragile.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Hearing the girl's question, Chu Xiaotian also raised his eyes slightly. He didn't pay attention to looking in the mirror while washing. Does his face look bad?
After realizing this, Chu Xiaotian cheered up, his face became a little better, and he showed a faint smile.
"I just didn't sleep well."
"That's it."
Chiba's heart was still full of doubts. She always felt that the boy was hiding something. Maybe he was in some kind of trouble?
Just like before, I met another girl.
Hoshinomiya Yoko stood at the door of her house.
"Yoko!"
"Chiba."
Yoko came to Chiba's side.
In the past, the young man would have been in the middle.
Although it was just a little change, Chu Xiaotian was very sensitive now. He wanted to say hello to Yoko, but he couldn't say it.
From just now to now, she didn't even look at him, as if she didn't see him.
The two girls walked in front, and the boy followed behind.
Midway, Chiba suddenly turned around and asked, "Xiaotian, what are you doing so far behind?"
Chu Xiaotian forced a smile: "It's okay, I'm a little sleepy."
Hoshinomiya Yoko never looked back.
Just like this, I walked to school in great torment.
Chiba looked at the two friends and felt that something seemed to have happened between them, and the atmosphere was very wrong.
We didn't even say hello to each other today.
What's going on here?
noon.
Yoko smiled and said to Chiba: "I didn't bring a lunch box today, so I went to the cafeteria to eat."
"Ah, um..."
Chiba was a little confused in her heart.
At this moment, Chu Xiaotian walked towards Hoshinomiya Yoko's table, and the latter's hand that was packing stationery stopped.
"Can we talk for a moment?"
Hoshinomiya Yoko didn't say anything, stood up and was about to leave.
Chu Xiaotian stopped her immediately.
Only then did the girl's eyes fall on him. She looked at the boy with an expressionless face and cold eyes.
"You're blocking me."
"I want to talk to you, please."
Chu Xiaotian stared at the girl.
Sometimes I really wish that the monk's part could take the main role. In that case, maybe I could just let it go. But now he can't do it. He can't give up the relationship that has lasted for more than ten years all at once.
Hoshinomiya Yoko looked at him, was silent for a while and then said: "Change a place."
"good."
Watching the two leave, Chiba was convinced that there was a conflict between the two, and prayed in her heart that they could reconcile.
When Nagasawa Yuan saw this, he was also thoughtful.
Behind the teaching building, this place is often used as a place for confession, but the situation now is completely different.
Hoshinomiya Yoko leaned against the wall and turned her head away from the boy. She asked calmly: "So, what do you want to say?"
Chu Xiaotian was silent for a moment and said, "Indeed, I am not the original Chu Xiaotian."
This sentence made the girl tremble. She grabbed her arm and bit her lip.
"But it was all just an accident, and I also inherited all his memories and emotions, so...so you can still regard me as him."
"Do not make jokes!"
Yoko Hoshinomiya lowered her head and shouted. She suddenly raised her head and said, "You are not him! You are just a thief who took everything away for yourself!"
"So it was just an accident!"
"But this is the result!"
Seeing the sadness in the girl's eyes and the tears that were about to overflow, Chu Xiaotian couldn't say anything he wanted to refute now.
He was still unwilling, so he finally asked.
"Can't you think of me as him?"
This is by far the weakest sentence.
She was so weak that even Yoko couldn't help but feel heartache. She opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something.
But in the end, she gritted her teeth and shook her head.
"You are not him."
Tears fell, Hoshimiya Yoko denied it.
She cannot make the decision for the original person that he is who he is, nor can she forgive the person in front of him on behalf of the original person. She is not qualified to do that.
In fact, there is nothing wrong. The Chu Xiaotian now and the Chu Xiaotian before are indeed not the same person.
Chu Xiaotian couldn't help but said: "But I can be him, and in fact, I am him."
However, Yoko didn't reply, and the two of them remained speechless for a long time.
Chu Xiaotian asked: "So we can no longer go to school together in the morning?"
Yangzi said nothing.
"Don't you want to go home from school with me?"
"Can't we go out to play together in the future?"
Three consecutive ordinary questions made Yoko Hoshinomiya shed tears from her eyes.
Looking at the girl with tears streaming down her face, Chu Xiaotian no longer knew why she was crying.
Chu Xiaotian stretched out his hand to help the girl wipe the tears on her face, but in the end he did not do it.
"I see."
There seems to be no emotion in this sentence.
After saying this, Chu Xiaotian turned around and left, not wanting to say anything anymore.
If no one is willing to admit Chu Xiaotian now, then it doesn't matter. After all, one's life is not lived for others.
He had known for a long time that this would be the result, so he wanted to keep it hidden.
The result was still exposed.
He didn't want to investigate how it was exposed or why, it was meaningless.
Looking at the young man's leaving figure, Yoko felt a pain in her chest, as if she had cut something off all at once.
If he is no longer who he is.
If it were someone else, what decision would they make?
