Autumn day, slightly cool

One

Wen Jiu is a junior at a key university in City A. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info On this day, she was walking aimlessly around the shopping street on campus, wanting to go to the only café on campus to have a drink. Suddenly, Wen Jiu felt that he had crashed into a wide chest, Wen Jiu rubbed his sore nose and looked up, Wen Jiu saw a face that only an elegant scholar can have, gold wire glasses, an angular chin, not too long, faintly brown hair, a clean and neat black suit with a light purple shirt, and shiny patent leather shoes under the coffee-colored coat.

Wen Jiu sent out an invitation very straightforwardly: "Senior brother, come with me for a drink, just as a little compensation for me bumping into you today, by the way, I don't know your name, senior brother, can you tell me?"

The man in the suit smiled, and his smile was particularly dazzling under the sunlight: "Everyone else calls me autumn, so can you call it that." What's your name?"

Wen Jiu smiled: "My surname is Wen, and my single name is a Jiu character." ”

At this time, it was four o'clock in the afternoon, and European-style houses could be seen everywhere on the B commercial street, as well as exquisite wrought iron street lamps, and the warm sunlight shone on the B commercial street, and the whole street was as beautiful as a fairyland. On the street, people in student outfits who are in a hurry to go to class holding a few thick books in their hands, or partners who leisurely stroll around the commercial street with each other's shoulders, or couples who hold hands and can't stop talking, add a bit of interest to this fairyland-like picture.

Inside the café.

Autumn walked straight to the booth against the floor-to-ceiling window and sat down, and Wen Jiu sat opposite him.

The waiter walked up, showing a brief surprise, seeing the subtle hint of autumn's eyes, his expression quickly regained his composure, put the wooden drink list on the table, kept smiling, and asked, "What do you need sir and miss?"

Autumn crossed his hands and propped his head and looked at the waiter: "A glass of iced latte, with milk, double sugar." After speaking, he swiped his mobile phone and completely ignored Wen Jiu. Wen Jiu didn't mind, flipped through the wooden drink list, and opened his thin lips lightly: "A cup of cappuccino, double sugar, and a piece of tiramisu packing." How many? Counting the gentleman's. The waiter didn't answer, just smiled and left.

After the waiter left, Wen Jiu began to look around the only surviving café, using a slightly golden brown background, I don't know whether it was wallpaper or paint, on each wall, hanging some scenic photos of famous attractions around the world, the frame is made of handmade photo frames of equal width wood brushed with milky white fresh paint, different sizes, unique flavor. In the small café, all the bar chairs are beige chairs standing on the bar counter built by the load-bearing columns that are very beautifully packaged, in addition to a few bar counters built on the load-bearing columns, there are also several circular bars in a staggered manner, and there are matching bartenders and wine cabinets in the center of the bar, as well as exclusive bartenders. By the huge floor-to-ceiling windows facing the street, there is a row of booths, purple sofas, and light blue tables, each with a pot of cosmos representing hope.

Wen Jiu took out the mobile phone in his coat pocket and said while playing with his mobile phone: "This café is worthy of being the only café in B Dali, and the decoration is better than those cafes outside." ”

Autumn was still playing with his mobile phone, and while playing with his mobile phone, he replied: "Thank you for the compliment, I read hundreds of books related to decoration before the renovation, and I have the storefront of this café." ”

Wen Jiu looked up at Qiu and asked in surprise, "You have already graduated?" or the owner of this café? I thought you were a senior in school, Brother Qiu, please forgive me for being reckless!"

Autumn has a black line on her face: "You don't need to call the big brother just call the autumn!"

The waiter walked to the table and put down the coffee: "Hello, your coffee, a total of 59 yuan, is it cash or a card?"

Wen Jiu took out some money from her wallet, counted it, handed it to the waiter, then picked up the silver spoon and stirred the coffee in front of her, took out her mobile phone, clicked on the group that had not been opened for 7 years, and was surprised to see that the Q sign that she had not had the courage to click on the dialog box for 7 years was lit. She clicked on the dialog box with mixed feelings, deleted, deleted, written, deleted, and finally wrote: "You, are you okay?" Then, something unexpected happened to her.

Sitting opposite, Autumn sounded the familiar QQ letter prompt, he took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, showing a surprised look, but quickly returned to normal. Wen Jiu saw that he replied with a short sentence, and then put the phone in the inner pocket of his suit jacket. About a second after Autumn finished replying, Wen Jiu's phone rang.

Wen Jiu's heart suddenly had a terrifying thought - could it be ...... This autumn is the person 7 years ago? This autumn is the other autumn? It shouldn't be so coincidental, right? Instantly, the two villains in her heart quarreled: one said: "It's not certain, 7 years have passed, no one can say what the person 7 years ago will be like in 7 years! The other said: Wasn't that person 7 years ago in H City, wasn't that person 7 years ago going to be a **** silk uncle who wanted to be faceless and figureless, couldn't it be the handsome guy in front of him who wanted to be beautiful, rich, and figure...... Wen Jiu shook her head and continued to look at her phone, it didn't matter if she didn't look at it, she was startled, she saw two more photos in the dialog box, one was a group photo of a man and a woman, and the other was a family photo of a family of three, and the man in the middle had a face that was 99.99% similar to Autumn sitting opposite.

Wen Jiu almost squirted out the cappuccino that had just been drunk into her mouth, but she still forced herself to calm down and slowly said a sentence: "You...... Which zodiac sign? What year was born? Don't ask why I'm asking you these two questions, these two questions are important to me. ”

Autumn seemed to have expected Wen Jiu to ask this, without any surprise or puzzlement, slowly stirring the coffee in front of him, and spit out a few words as if talking to himself: "Born in November 1991." ”

Wen Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little puzzled, she handed the phone to Qiu on the other side: "This person, who is you? Don't tell me that he is a clone of you." She took a sip of the cappuccino to suppress the shock, but she choked and coughed.

Autumn looked at the mobile phone handed over by Wen Jiu, stunned, and after a while, he replied: "That person is my brother, and he is now in H City." He gave me this QQ number 7 years ago. He just told me that as long as I sent any message, he would send her these two photos, tell her that he was fine, and ask her to forget about him. He gently shook the small silver spoon, put the small silver spoon into the coffee tray, took the coffee and took a sip slowly, and continued: "It's just that I didn't expect that the world is so small, and the little girl who lives in N city and combs her mushroom head in his mouth actually came to City A." ”

Wen Jiu sighed and replied: "The original 520 days have long passed, and I have long been strangers to him, and I have nothing to do with him. He would come back to me if he was having a bad day, but he hadn't sent me a single message in 7 years. Now that you've told me he's fine, I've stopped thinking about it. ”

The waiter Zhenen came over with the tiramisu that Wen Jiu ordered, maybe he heard the conversation between Wenjiu and Qiu, Zhenen didn't say anything, put down the tiramisu and left silently.

"Let's do this first, and then I don't know each other when I meet each other on campus in the future. If I want to find you, I will send you a message on QQ. Wen Jiu picked up the carefully packed tiramisu and got up to leave.

Suddenly, Autumn called out to her from behind.

"Wait, I have something for you. ”

[2. Familiar voices]

A huge birthday cake suddenly appeared at the door of the café and Lin Lei, who had just left the hall with the staff and went to the back kitchen: "Because I am Lin Lei, it's him, little fool, I just found out now." Also, my family, I'm an only son, I don't have any younger brother at all, happy 21st birthday!

"......" Wen Jiu was stunned, I don't know if he was shocked by this confession that was seven years late, or if he didn't react for a while, a minute later, Wen Jiu rushed out of the door, and the cake box with tiramisu in his hand kept shaking.

"Zhenen, help me take care of the store, I'm going to go out. Lin Lei picked up the coat that was put aside and chased out, "Jiu, Jiu, Jiu, what's wrong with you?

Wen Jiu ran and ran until he ran back downstairs in the girls' dormitory. She went up to the fourth floor, and the door to 412 was open. She rushed in, slammed the door shut, climbed into her bed, retreated into the corner, buried her head in her knees, and sobbed quietly. She hadn't cried like this for a long time, and she hadn't cried like this since Lin Lei left her. In the past 7 years, she has always hidden herself under a thick mask, and she never will, nor dare to show her fragile, true self to anyone. Because she was completely hurt by Lin Lei's simple sentence "You misunderstood", she was afraid that she would be hurt by anyone like that again, and she would not be able to bear it. Today, the one who hurt her like that at the beginning, actually came back, and told her so many things that she couldn't think of at the beginning, and she really couldn't accept so many things for a while, so she rushed out of the door.

Lin Lei rushed out, but there was no trace of Wen Jiu, so he had to turn back in a daze: "Zhenen, give me the bottle of wine I put on the top floor of the wine cabinet." ”

Zhen En didn't dare to move: "Boss, the doctor said that your liver is not good, and you can't drink high-strength wine......" Lin Lei roared: "You care about me! Bring it quickly!" Lin Lei's eyes were filled with tears, but he didn't let it fall. Zhen En kept in mind the doctor's advice, and did not give Lin Lei the bottle of "Treasure of the Town Store" that Lin Lei had personally announced that he would never open, and placed on the top floor of the wine cabinet, but changed a bottle of pre-mixed cocktail with a relatively low degree, opened the bottle cap and handed it to Lin Lei: "Boss, I have something at home, can I leave work early?" Lin Lei didn't look at him, and replied in a low voice: "You go first, close the store door, don't worry about me." ”

Zhen En answered, walked to the counter, and was just about to take his coat, when he suddenly found a small, beautifully made note on the counter, he picked it up and looked at it, and there were two lines of words on the note.

Brother, I was sorry for you five years ago, but today I found the girl you had been thinking about before you left, you can rest in peace and don't come to me again.

Zhenen wondered, wasn't today's event true? or ...... The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became, and he decided to find out what secrets the boss had taken him in.

412 dormitories.

Wen Jiu's roommate and best friend Luo Zimiao returned to the dormitory after class and was startled when he heard a small, almost inaudible cry in the dormitory. After a closer look, it turned out that Wen Jiu was crying on the top bunk, and those strange thoughts in his mind were denied, Luo Zimiao put the textbook in his arms on his bed, climbed to Wen Jiu's top bunk, and asked softly: "Ah Jiu, what's wrong with you?" I rarely see you crying like this. ”

Wen Jiu raised his head, looked at Luo Zimiao with eyes that had been slightly swollen with tears, sniffed, and replied: "Ah Miao, do you remember the man I told you about who left me 7 years ago?" Luo Zimiao nodded: "Remember, what's wrong?" Wen Jiu sniffed: "I, I saw him today, I saw him, he, he, he said his name was Lin Lei." Luo Zimiao was stunned: "What?!Lin Lei?Are you sure you heard it right?Lin Lei is the most handsome male teacher in the whole department!How could it be the person who left you 7 years ago?Are you sure you really heard it right?" Wen Jiu finally held back his tears and replied affirmatively: "Yes, he said that his name is Lin Lei, I accidentally bumped into him, and then he told me in the café." ”

Luo Zimiao simply cleaned up Wen Jiu's messy bed, sat cross-legged, and said, "Teacher Lin Lei is the dream lover of all the girls in our department, oh, of course it doesn't include me, Ah Jiu, can you tell me about your experience today from beginning to end?"

……

[3. Ah Q]

The next day, Wen Jiu woke up from his sleep groggily, touched his body, and found that all his clothes had been changed, and he was wrapped in a quilt like a ball. She looked at the phone next to her pillow, and there was a prompt to install a new app:

Do you want to install Ah Q?

(Yes)

She searched for a long time and tried to restart the phone several times, but the prompt was still there, and she couldn't get rid of it. Wen Jiu had no choice, so he had to click Yes. After a while, another message popped up:

Q has been installed, is it open?

(Yes)

Wen Jiu laughed, she slapped out of the ball, leaned the pillow against the railing of the bed, leaned on the pillow, pressed (yes), and a Q version of the villain beckoned: "Hi! First meeting! I'm Ah Qiu!" Wen Jiu looked at the villain, curiously reached out and poked the waist of the villain who called himself Ah Qiu, Ah Qiu laughed: "Don't, don't, don't tickle me, Ah Jiu, don't make trouble." Wen Jiu was suddenly stunned, looked at Ah Qiu on the mobile phone screen, and asked in disbelief: "Ah Qiu, what did you call me just now?" Ah Qiu on the screen suddenly disappeared, and a plane dragging a banner drove on the mobile phone screen that returned to normal, and it was Ah Qiu who had changed his clothes, and the banner read: Ah Jiu, I went to sleep, as for why I know your name is Jiu, I'll tell you next time! Wen Jiu is very strange, the artificial intelligence still needs to sleep? Forget it, let's talk about these questions next time, go buy breakfast first.

Wen Jiu threw his mobile phone on the bed, simply changed into casual clothes, tidied up the bed slightly, picked up his wallet and went downstairs.

After Wen Jiu left, 412 returned to silence, and ten minutes later, Wen Jiu's mobile phone screen lit up strangely, and a text message from an unknown number appeared, and the text message only had four short words "Be careful of Lin Lei". Soon, the phone screen went dark again......

Wen Jiu took his mobile phone and carried breakfast, sat on Luo Zimiao's lower bunk, opened the breakfast bag, and began to gnaw slowly, while continuing to poke Ah Qiu, clicking on the dialog box and starting to type: "Ah Qiu, can you tell me why you call me Ah Jiu now?" Ah Qiu jumped and a dialog box popped up: "Because Ah ......" Ah Qiu disappeared, and after a while, a group photo of Wen Jiu who had not deleted it for 7 years and had not touched it, Ah Qiu appeared below the group photo, holding a whip, and pointed to the boy with a bright smile in the group photo, and a dialog box popped up: "This person, I know, he told me." Two seconds later, the group photo disappeared, Ah Qiu disappeared, and Wen Jiu's mobile phone screen returned to its usual appearance.

Wen Jiu swiped the phone screen to find Ah Q's phone icon. She saw a smiley face icon in the corner of the last page, with "Ah Q" written underneath the icon. She clicked on it and saw Ah Q feasting. She was very curious, and clicked on the dialog box to type: "Ah Qiu, do you still want to eat?" Ah Qiu replied: "Brother is not eating, it is the power of your mobile phone~" Wen Jiu looked at the battery percentage above, and was brushing and brushing down, and a few minutes later, the mobile phone issued a warning of insufficient power, Wen Jiu reluctantly climbed back to the bed, turned out the power bank and plugged it into the mobile phone.

She climbed down the stairs, went up and down the satchel from the coat rack next to the door frame of 412, threw the mobile phone and the power bank into the satchel, held the textbook thrown aside in her arms, locked the door of 412, and went to class.

Wen Jiu was walking slowly on the school road, but the mobile phone she threw in her bag suddenly lit up, and the screen showed - Ah Qiu is out!

[Fourth, Ah Qiu and Lin Rin]

PiePub。

Lin Lei wiped his wine glass at the main bar in PiePub as usual, and suddenly the huge mirror on the wine cabinet behind the main bar lit up, and a man who looked very similar to Lin Lei appeared. The difference is that there are a little more vicissitudes between the eyebrows of the man in the mirror. Lin Lei was not surprised, he put down the wine glass he was wiping, changed the business sign at the door from open to closed, and pulled up all the curtains. Today, the waiter, named Zhenen, seems to have overslept and has not taken time off work or appeared at PiePub.

Lin Lei slowly made himself a cup of coffee, pulled a chair and sat opposite the man in the mirror. He took a sip of coffee and said in an extremely arrogant tone: "Brother, what are you doing this time? I should have told you not to come to me again, right?"

The man in the mirror spoke: "Why do you want to pretend to be me? Why do you want to steal my name? Why do you tell her that you are me? You have robbed me of everything, even my life, do you want to rob her?"

"Brother, don't you understand? You weren't strong enough, so I took your place, you weren't strong enough, so you didn't do anything, you weren't strong enough, you lost your life. Lin Rin replied calmly, "I thought you would figure it out in the past five years, but I didn't expect you to be so simple." I don't know what method you used to exchange these five years for such a strict Hades. ”

The man in the mirror was annoyed: "Lin Tian! Don't be too complacent! Sooner or later, I'll let you taste this too! I'll let you disappear from this world!"

Lin Lei, oh no, Lin Tian took a sip of coffee and smiled: "Your current state, it is difficult to protect yourself, why talk about making me disappear?" Lin Lei, you are still so simple. Bang, the man in the mirror disappeared, Lin Tianwu smiled to himself, got up and pulled up the heavy black cloth curtains, and replaced the closed at the door with open. After doing this, Lin Tian took out a silver shower from under the counter where he sat every day watching TV, and watered those cosmos one by one. After doing this, Lin Tiancai opened the door of the store and waited for the bartender to come to work.

There were several original English books stacked on the counter, and Lin Tian moved the cup of coffee that was still steaming and put it on the other side of the counter. He sat down slowly, picked up the top copy of TheWindInTheWillows, took out the bookmark and put it on the table, and looked at it quietly.

Half an hour later, the silence of PiePub was broken. Sweating profusely, he panted as he grabbed the door frame of PiePub's door, "Sorry boss, I'm late." ”

"Sweating so much," Lin Tian looked at Zhen En, slightly displeased, "Go to the backyard and take a bath, and go to work immediately." ”

Wen Jiu's classroom.

Wen Jiu sat in the back row, staring at the line on the screen, "Ah Qiu is out, wait a while!" She couldn't understand anything, why did the artificial intelligence still go out?! Just when she was puzzled, a door appeared on the mobile phone screen, and Ah Qiu came back with a tired face. He didn't do anything, he just didn't know where to pull out a quilt, cover it and sleep. No matter how Wen Jiu poked him, he didn't react.

Suddenly, a call from an unknown number appeared on Wen Jiu's phone screen. She turned down the volume on her phone and picked it up. She heard a man on the other end of the phone talking to herself: "Be careful of Lin Tian, he is not as sunny as the surface, his city is very deep." She asked, "Who is Lin Tian?" The man replied, "The man who calls himself Lin Lei has a real name called Lin Tian." ”

"Beep, beet, beet......" the phone was disconnected. Wen Jiu was very strange, but she didn't take the phone to heart, she clicked on Ah Q and found that Ah Qiu was missing again, and there was an extra sign on the screen "Ah Qiu is sleeping, please don't poke" and a phone icon. She became more and more curious, is this Ah Qiu really just an artificial intelligence?

……

6 p.m., Cafeteria No. 12, B University.

The No. 12 cafeteria of B University can be described as a paradise for local tycoons, known for its all-round chefs who throw off the small shops on campus and the high and scary prices.

Wen Jiu sat down with a plate and chatted with Luo Zimiao: "Ah Miao, show you something." As he spoke, Wen Jiu took out his mobile phone, clicked on Ah Q and handed it to Luo Zimiao. Luo Zimiao put down the knife and took Wen Jiu's mobile phone, but the screen of the mobile phone said "December 17, 2021/Thursday/18:30". She was very strange, put the phone on the table, picked up the fork and bit off the chicken wings, and asked, "Nothing, Ah Jiu, what are you going to show me?"

"Ahh Wen Jiu took the mobile phone and saw the page of Ah Q, Wen Jiu handed it to Luo Zimiao again, but Luo Zimiao still saw a simple date and date. Wen Jiu couldn't help but wonder, could it be that only I could see this artificial intelligence software? So, she asked in a different way: "Ah Miao, have you ever heard of an artificial intelligence? An artificial intelligence named Ah Q." Luo Zimiao shook his head: "I've only heard of Ah U." Q: Where did you see that?"

Wen Jiu: "This morning, it appeared on my phone by itself, and I couldn't delete it after trying many times, so I had to install it." ”

Luo Zimiao stretched out his hand: "Show me?"

Wen Jiu shrugged his shoulders and expressed helplessness: "I just wanted to show you, but I don't know why, this Ah Q seems to be the only one I can see." It seems to automatically block everyone but me. Who knows. ”

Luo Zimiao seemed to be very interested in this application called Ah Q, she put down the fork in her hand, crossed her hands to support her head, looked at Wen Jiu, and asked, "Is it convenient to describe me a little more about this 'Ah Q'?"

Wen Jiu: "This Ah Q, no matter what I ask, it can answer, it will control my mobile phone, it will disappear inexplicably, and it will use the power of my mobile phone to replenish its energy." Wen Jiu didn't notice that in her pocket, the screen of her mobile phone was on. Ah Qiu, who was quietly listening to all this, was expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

Luo Zimiao tilted her head, looked at Wen Jiu, paused for a while, and suddenly said, "How many men have you known before?"

Wen Jiu: "Where can this be counted?"

Luo Zimiao suddenly turned positive: "You know what I mean, don't interrupt!"

Wen Jiu: "Okay. Let me do the math, about a ...... Two...... Well, three. ”

Luo Zimiao: "Will it ...... Is this Ah Q one of those three?"

On the screen of the mobile phone in Wen Jiu's pocket, Ah Qiu showed a panicked expression. There was a soft bang, and Luo Zimiao suddenly found that he couldn't speak. Meanwhile. A man's voice sounded in Luo Zimiao's ears: "It doesn't taste good to be speechless, don't talk about this topic anymore, otherwise, I will make you speechless forever." Luo Zimiao looked around and found that the No. 12 cafeteria had become pitch black for some reason, and she looked behind her, where a man was standing.

[5. The Truth]

Luo Zimiao looked at the man who was standing there quietly in surprise, and said, "You...... Who is ......this? Where is it?"

The man spoke: "I am Ah Q in Jiu's mouth, this is the inside of my soul, and now in the outer space, time is still. ”

Luo Zimiao quickly calmed down, and she asked, "So, I guessed right......? Which of those three is in Ah Jiu's mouth?"

The man replied, "I guess it's the first place." Luo Zimiao looked at the man in front of him carefully, dressed in casual clothes, with a pair of elegant rimless glasses, and neat short black hair, but he was also a little handsome. Wait, why does it look so similar to Mr. Lin?!

Luo Zimiao: "You ...... What is the relationship with Mr. Lin, and why do you look so similar to him?"

Man: "Teacher Lin, oh, you said Lin Tian? Lin Tian is my younger brother." He took my life five years ago and used my name to spend five years on this earth. In the past five years, I have watched him day and night, watching him use my name, my identity, and everything about me in this world so chic, that feeling is really indescribable. ”

Luo Zimiao became more and more curious, and as soon as she was about to open her mouth to ask, the man in front of her spoke: "If you tell Jiu the truth, I can't stop you, I made a deal with the Hades, I will divide the soul energy that every soul will reserve for walking to the path of life after leaving the body in half, half of it will be paid to the Hades, and half will let me continue to exist in this world in the soul state." After these five years, I only have enough soul energy left to stay in this world for another month. This month, I just want to watch Jiu quietly and leave quietly. ”

"That'...... Where will you go when you leave?"

"Soul. Fly. Vigor. Scatter. The darkness around him gradually faded under Luo Zimiao's surprised gaze, and returned to the appearance of the No. 12 canteen, and the still time was restored.

【Epilogue】

Luo Zimiao thought about it for a long time, but decided not to tell Wen Jiu and let the man fulfill his last wish.

A month later, January 17, 2022.

Wen Jiu, who was not in class, was bored playing with his mobile phone in the dormitory, and suddenly a new email prompt popped up. Wen Jiu was very strange, his mailbox was not used ten years ago, who would send her an email?

She clicked on the prompt, the page switched, and what caught her eye was an email signed "The Real Lin Lei", she was very curious, so she began to read.

Nine:

By the time you read this email, I don't think I'm there anymore.

I'm going to tell you, you've been scammed.

I'm the uncle autumn 7 years ago, and now the guy who is obedient to you, who calls himself autumn, who calls himself Lin Lei, is called Lin Tian, my brother.

If he is really good to you, that is the best, if he is good to you has other intentions, then you should leave him as soon as possible, I have no power to help you, you can only rely on yourself to screen.

You may ask, how did I survive in a soul state, the answer to this question I told your best friend a month ago, you can go to her to find the answer.

Five years ago, he burned everything with a fire, burned "Lin Tian" to death, and let "Lin Lei" survive......

I'm sorry I couldn't accompany you through the road of life.

Now, life is a long road, I only wish you happiness and peace.

Your uncle falls

January 16, 2022

Tears fell silently, autumn, why are you so stupid......
