Chapter 15: Reincarnation I
"Hey Ann, what a great speech just now, every word came into my heart, man, this toast to you!"
"Thank you!"
I took the glass of champagne and drained it, and the rich fruity aroma filled my mouth.
"Ann, hello, I'm John, remember? We've been chatting a lot in the company for a while. I have to say sorry to you, in the past I didn't have a good attitude, always perfunctory to you, because I didn't think you were the same kind as us, but now I know that I was wrong, my friend, you may not know how to do it, but you have a hacker heart, come, for my apologies, for Facebook!"
"For Facebook!"
Laughing and doing it again.
"Ann ......"
"Ann ......"
After washing his face in the bathroom and refreshing himself a little, Ahn Joon-hyuk returned to the banquet hall to see him warmly greeted the engineers who were talking to him near the entrance in the space where the aroma of food wafted out.
Shaking hands, talking and laughing, toasting, the faces in front of him swayed, and the smiles seemed to drag the afterimage under the eyes, and all kinds of excited, excited, or fanatical voices fell on the ears as if they were separated by a layer of glass, fluttering and blurred.
Consciousness seems to be divided into two parts, one part controls the facial muscles and smiles cheerfully and humorously greets people, and the other part looks coldly onlookers.
Some can't tell if it's the effect of alcohol or what.
It was quite a unique experience that reminded him of when the dream had just arrived.
It's just that the chaotic brain has some time to think, a moment. The crowd in front of him suddenly dispersed, and Zuckerberg, who was smiling, was greeted with a warm hug, and then he took a glass of champagne from the tray of the waiter in the crowd and held it high:
"Everyone, everybody, let's welcome Ahn Joon-hyuk, the great orator, and welcome the Facebook empireβ"
βKingββοΌβ
The howls of dozens of people roared, and in the excitement and frenzy, there was also an unconcealed good-natured joke, most of which was due to Ahn Junhyuk's speech promising to build Facebook into an Internet empire.
The sound roared, and Ahn Junhyuk also had a smiling face. Take another drink. In the fiery air, the golden banquet hall is shining with infinite light.
The effects of alcohol begin to work in the brain, and the light and shadow are slightly distorted......
β¦β¦
Wooββ!
Boomββ!
When I opened my eyes, it was a speeding train. Semi-enclosed and dark carriages. The dim lights flickered. Everything was shaking slightly, and the roar of air friction outside the car and another train passing opposite each other was roaring. It was as if thunder was pounding the eardrums, and the lights from that side were lightning coming from the front and going to the back.
In the midst of the strangeness, there was a person sitting opposite.
"You're here again!"
A very familiar voice, Ahn Junhyuk looked at the swaying carriage, and after a while, when the roar passed, the outside of the car seemed to pass through a tunnel to wash away the darkness and shine on the orange red of the sunset, with the gorgeous light, he looked at the person opposite and sighed: "Yes, I'm here again." β
The sun shone behind him, and the mist of light spread to the skin and contours, and in the colors like autumn maple trees, the person opposite looked up, and there was a familiar and indifferent face.
A face that can be seen in the mirror every morning.
Boom, boom.
The train was speeding away, and two people in the carriage who looked exactly the same sat opposite each other.
"Last time I was here. β
"Well, it has never changed. β
"This is your worldly realm?"
"Not really, it's just a tool on the go, it can be anything...... You love trains, and I love trains!"
"Where?"
"He" didn't answer, and turned his head to look out the window, and he looked over as well.
There was nothing outside, no matter how close or far as the horizon could be, the space was filled with dusk, no railroad tracks, no cities, no fields, or mountains.
In the monotonous world, it seems that only this train is monotonous.
Seeing that "he" didn't want to answer, Ahn Junhyuk didn't ask any more questions, and after a pause, he spoke up again: "So, what are you? My other personality?"
"Personality isn't going to be trapped here. β
"So, is it a subconscious embodiment of dream memory?"
"He" thought for a moment, then nodded, "so to speak." β
"Looks like I need to see a psychiatrist. β
"You want to kill me?" he laughed.
"yes. β
"Sure enough, it's Ahn Jun-hyuk. β
The next moment, the two laughed, the same lines wrinkled from their mouths, and the smile was the same indifference, like two sides of a mirror.
"When was the last time you came? I don't think I remember. β
"You don't remember, how could I remember. β
"Yes, too...... What are you doing this time?"
Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't know how to answer, but he didn't need to answer, and after the "he" on the other side asked a question, he showed a sudden look, "Because of her...... I found out that you were quite a failure, and another person left with you. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
"Much like my ......"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Kim Taeyeon!
The high-pitched screams of the housekeeper echoed in the narrow corridor of the dormitory building, and the half-asleep Huang Miying was woken up, and the girl rolled up the sheet irritably for a while, and the sleepiness finally disappeared, she sat up depressedly, and then saw Taeyeon run out of the dormitory, and after a while, she hurriedly ran back with a huge package.
Hwang Mi-young could see at a glance that Taeyeon was very happy, with a red face, a short body holding a package, and a bright smile on her little happy appearance, like a little mouse who had stolen cheese, and her tail was almost cocked.
"What are you holding, so happy. β
"A gift!"
Huang Meiying was most interested in the gift, and when she heard the words, she immediately threw the cold or something out of the clouds, and jumped out of bed in high spirits. Help Taeyeon unpack the package.
"What are you doing, it's mine!"
"Let me see, I haven't received a gift from here. Huang Meiying tried to pretend to be pitiful.
ββ¦β¦ Alright!" Taeyeon pouted in embarrassment, "But you have to wash your hands first!"
"Nasty!"
The friendship that has accompanied each other for a year, there is naturally no need to scruple when it comes to jokes, and in any case, the unpacking continues, and it doesn't take long to tear off the tape and packaging and open the cardboard box. Look at what's inside. Huang Meiying was stunned, and then pouted.
It's not that the things sent are shabby, on the contrary, there are a lot of valuable things in it. A few pieces of girly cute style. She is familiar with mid-range brand clothes in the United States. An Apple computer and an iPod.video, to her disdain, the person who sent it had no taste at all. Pack these things together casually and throw them away like garbage.
"Taeyeon, which stupid ...... this"
She was about to express her contempt, but suddenly saw the note on the inside of the box, and the moment the words "Ahn Junhyuk" fell into her eyes, she was suddenly scared.
"Uh...... Hehehehehe, I mean...... This is a handsome guy who is so unruly, so domineering......"
Taeyeon didn't bother to pay attention to her chatter, and the girl hummed a song, comparing the dismantled clothes in front of her, and trying to compare them to the thin reflection of the window glass.
The smile on the corner of his mouth is also faint, but it outlines the joy and longing that cannot be concealed.
After trying the size a little, Taeyeon carefully put them all away, and she wanted to wait for him to come back and wear them for him.
At the same time in Cheongdam-dong, Jisoo was losing his temper at the two Apple-made notebooks and players in the package that was opened in front of him.
"Brother is really, I told him that no electronic products are allowed at home, and he always takes my words as a deaf ear!"
"Okay, okay, you don't necessarily have to use it right now if you buy it!"
"Hmph......" With Lin Xiujing's help, Zhixiu can't say anything more, in fact, what she was angry about was not this, but after opening the package, she found that her gifts, except that the clothes brand was different from Xiujing, the things she sent were almost the same, she knew that her brother was lazy again, most of them casually went to the mall, set the specifications, referred to the brand factor, and then the gift standards of several people were "copied" in batches.
β¦β¦ Diehard......
Thinking about it with hatred, sometimes she doubted that if there was no stupid Lin Xiujing, if there was no idiot like Lin Yun'er, and her brother would not be romantic at all, it would be strange that there would be girls willing to marry him!
At this time, the fool in her mouth was reading the notes in the box, and when she was done, she smiled and carried her things upstairs.
Maybe it's because of the exertion, after returning to the bedroom, her stomach is a little uncomfortable, but Lin Xiujing is not flustered, she often has this feeling recently, like something is about to move, she knows that the fetal movement is about to appear, so she is also extra careful.
After a short rest, and when the feeling faded, she slowly sat down on the chaise longue in front of the small balcony in the bedroom, soaking up the light outside the window and caressing her lower abdomen.
She loved the child, and he loved it.
Thinking of the regret that he might not be able to come back and hear the child's first fetal movement in the note he had just read, Lin Xiujing pursed her lips and smiled in the light of noon.
On the other side, Lim Yoon-a, the idiot in Jisoo's mouth, was sitting on the edge of the bed, stunned by the box on the ground.
My sister came in a few times, and when she saw that she was motionless, she seemed to be a little worried, and the last time she came in, she asked her, "Yuna, it was sent by you Junhyuk oppa, don't you take it apart and take a look?"
She didn't know how to answer.
Now, I'm afraid to see things that have something to do with him......
The elder sister obviously did not understand her fear, and took her silence as a tacit acquiescence, so she found the scissors and unwrapped the tape.
"Wow...... It's a new summer style of Yves Saint Laurent girl's retro style, Yun'er come and see, you are tall and tall, and you must be beautiful to wear...... Uh, don't like it?"
"Let's take a look at this...... Wow! Apple's most classic iPod just came out last year, Yuna Yuna, you see, is it super fashionable?...... If you don't react, my sister will take it!"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
"Okay, we've lost to you, we'll look at something else...... Wow......"
β¦β¦ Are you wowing enough......
Yuna rolled her eyes weakly, and was about to open her mouth to explain to her sister that her eldest aunt had come and fallen out of love, and now she was in a bad mood and begged her not to go anymore, and then she saw that her sister took out a beautifully packaged gift box from the box.
"And the mystery gift?" the sister laughed, waving scissors to cut the packing tape, "Look what it is......"
Looking at the box, Yun'er frowned, and was about to say something, when suddenly her face became anxious, and she shouted, "Sister, don't ......"
As soon as she spoke, my sister had already cut the packing tape, and then ......
Bang!
The "mysterious" box exploded automatically, and the colorful bubbles seemed to vent their anger at being locked in the box for many days, drowning their targets with a slash on their faces.
Whew, huh
Sister Lin, who was blown into a bubble person, was holding scissors in one hand, and the other hand was still holding something, and she stiffened.
There was a moment of silence in the room, not much time.
"Poofβ"
Yuna endured it, but she still couldn't hold back her laughter and sucked on the bed.
β¦β¦
"Now, they should receive their gifts. β
"yes. β
"What should she do if she receives that prank?"
"I don't know how to ......"
"Oh, Elm Head!"
"Don't you either. β
The carriage is still staggering forward, and seemingly meaningless conversations such as the one above take place between two people who know almost everything about the "other party", I don't know how long the road has flowed, and the road seems to have no end, and the world outside the car is still full of light, and I can't see anything clearly, just keep moving forward, keep moving forward.
At one point, Ahn Joon-hyuk asked, "How long have you been here?"
"Here, time doesn't matter. β
"It doesn't make sense to dwell on anything, even if it's just relative. β
"What I said doesn't make sense, not because I can't see the references, but because of another conceptual ......," he said, turning his head to look at it, his cold gaze seemed to hide the bone-chilling cold and darkness, as well as the sin and cruelty, as if just a glance revealed a piercing coldness and blood.
It was the eyes of "Ahn Junhyuk" who belonged to the dream, and "he" stepped on the bones of the corpse at every step, climbing to the top in the bloody wind and rain.
Ahn Jun-hyuk suddenly discovered that there was actually a difference between himself and "him", and it was very big.
At least, "he" is never confused.
"You'll understand soon. I wonder if he saw what he was thinking, he said, and then turned his head to look out the windowβthere was still nothing there.
Understand what? Time is meaningless?
As soon as such a thought flashed through his mind, a whistle that seemed to come from the end of the world flew from far and near.
Woo β
Bang dang!
Boomββ!
The sunlight was suddenly cut off, darkness fell in an instant, the dim light of the carriage swayed, roared, vibrate, the lights of another train from the outside world seemed to be lightning flying back and forth, the dimmed vision, between the distortion of light and shadow, the opposite "he" turned around:
"You're here again!"
β¦β¦ (To be continued......)
