Chapter 47: Give Me My Name
Zhang Zhou lay on his back on the bed, staring at the newly hung up call interface on the copycat smartphone in the palm of his left hand, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Speaking of which, this is the first time he has asked his homeroom teacher for such a valid reason, right?
He looked away from his smartphone and stared at the yellowed ceiling above him. I don't know why, the guy in the right eye didn't come out to make trouble when he was on the phone, and his efforts to control the movement of his right hand with the weight of his body didn't seem to be necessary.
That's all that guy. For him, no matter what drastic changes he had, he could not change as much as hers. He took a deep breath, brushing the guy's anomaly behind him, and instead thinking about how she would react when she heard that she had asked for time off on the grounds that she had a bad cold.
She knew what she was capable of, so she also knew that a bad cold or something couldn't pose a threat to herself...... When she heard that she had asked for leave in such a way, what kind of reaction and guess would she have?
He and she have been companions for half a year, and they know her character well enough. He could barely guess what she would think...... There's a good chance she'll think he's avoiding her, that he's avoiding meeting her.
Oh, obviously I have made up my mind to go to her side, I want to get back together with her, and I want to be her companion again. Now I can't even explain my actions...... The corners of Zhang Zhou's mouth hooked up a bitter arc.
He shifted his gaze to the dim standby interface of his smartphone again, and the bitter curvature of the corners of his mouth widened. Obviously they are companions, and they have been together for half a year, but they don't even know each other's phone numbers...... At this time, he couldn't even do such a thing as texting her.
He's really useless. It was at that time that he used the power of that guy to save her from the top of the decaying castle tower. Even though the price he had to pay was control of half of his body, he didn't regret it. Control can be taken back, but what will he do with it if he loses her, who has gradually become his pillar and his only companion?
It's just that he didn't expect that he would still lose her. It's just a little delayed and a different way. He lay on his back on the bed, the sparkle in his eyes a little dim.
Xiu, who was living in his eyes, was still immersed in memories, and did not take advantage of the moment when his mind was lost to launch an attack on him, otherwise, he was afraid that he would be easily attacked by him, and even the control of the remaining half of his body would no longer exist, and he would no longer be able to stop him from doing anything.
Xiu, who stayed in his right eye, silently recalled, recalling the time when he met her, and his eyes radiated a little happy light from time to time.
He remembered that rainy night, when she woke him up from his loss; He remembered the thunderbolt that made him smile like a flower; He remembered the sound of the rain that night, which covered the crazy throbbing in his heart! On that rainy night, he had an illusory body in the form of a human in her eyes, and then he knelt down where she couldn't see, and whispered to her in his heart, "Lonely desire and this city will never die, so I will serve the king as the lord and let the king send it." ”
……
The sound of rain became more and more dense, resounding throughout the world, and the raindrops falling from the window reflected the light of the flame in the light of the window. In the darkness, there is only here, only here...... It's still in the light. Even if it's just ...... The faint light, in such darkness, also seems so precious.
Xiu fell silent in her eyes for a while, and through her right eye, he stared with her at the dark rain curtain outside the window. The room fell silent for a moment, except for the occasional sound of lights popping and the sound of rain outside the window.
"Now," she said suddenly, with an irrepressible tremor in her voice, "are you still there?" Her words woke Xiu up from that serenity. He could hear the fragility in her words, and he could see that the vision of her right eye suddenly became cloudy. She's scared, she's worried, she's panicking. He could understand her feelings, and he knew that the most painful thing was not that he had never gotten what he wanted, but that he had lost it again soon after he got it! Those dozen heart-rending experiences made him understand this truth better than anyone else.
So he spoke, responding to her expectations. He whispered back, "I'm here," and he knew that just such a sentence, just two words like this could reassure her, reassure her. However, this is only a temporary peace of mind. This only relieved her of her anxiety for a while, but it did not completely put her mind at ease. So...... He wasn't going to just say those two words, and he didn't just want to reassure her! So he spoke, and went on.
"From now on, I will always be there. As long as you call me, as long as you call me, I will appear. He promised this, but at the end, he added in a whisper, "I must save you......"
He spoke quietly, but she heard him anyway. Her eyes were even more misty, but she couldn't stop the tears from rolling down. She raised her palm, wiped away the tears that had been on her cheeks, and softly responded, "You are in my life...... Will you stay by my side...... Will you talk to me...... It has already saved me. ”
He knew she had misunderstood him, but he didn't explain, it was useless to explain, and under the rules of this disgusting city, there was no way she could hear what he was saying that was not good for it. He was silent, acquiescing to her explanation. She didn't need to know all this filthy everything, all the things...... Let him bear the burden! Anyway...... He's been through so many pains, and it's not bad this time!
Her tears made him feel infinite pity, but this pity was a little different from the pity when he faced the third host, but at that time he didn't notice these abnormalities, but silently made up his mind, this time, he must save her!
……
The day after he broke out of his self-imposed state, Hanshan City was still shrouded in a curtain of rain. In such weather, pedestrians basically stay at home, and Shu Jing has no reason to go out. So she lay on the bed and called out to him over and over again. "Now, are you there?"
"I'm ......"
"Are you still there?"
"Well, I'm here."
……
With each answer, her eyes curled in a pleasant arc, and even his vision changed shape. It made him feel her excitement because of his presence, and it made him jump along with him.
This question and answer went on for a long time, and then she stopped, and the room was once again enveloped in the sound of rain. Then, in the midst of the cacophony of silence, he heard her breathing, which suddenly became somewhat rapid.
"Now, can you tell me...... Your name? She asked, and there wasn't much confidence between his words that he would agree. He never said his name, which made her think he didn't like people to know his name.
Hearing her question, Xiu fell silent for a while. If she had really known his name, she might not have been so happy talking to him. However, he was unwilling to refuse her request, which made him in a dilemma.
His silence made her think it was her problem that him off. This alarmed her, and she hurriedly sat up and explained urgently, "I just don't think it's good to call you 'you' all the time, if you don't want to......"
"How could you not want to?" Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by his voice. "You've listened to me tell me where I came from, and I've been ...... for so long. Can't remember my name. ”
"So, if you can, you can give me a name."
This is where the name Xiu comes from.
