Chapter 011: I'm Not Afraid
However, Shen Liyang's life with her was very short.
Tears blurred his vision, but after a little sentimentality, Xue Xuxu immediately sniffed and wiped his face with his sleeve, and hurriedly turned it back.
Eventually, she closed the journal and looked at the still open drawer.
After hesitating for a few deep breaths, he took out the watch.
Looking at the surface, the hour hand points to 10 o'clock.
It's not a dream! Nor is it a missing memory.
She went back in time, and the thirty-year-old Xue Xuxu reappeared in 2002 as a flower girl, and became a real memory for others.
First meeting on the playground.
Close contact with Jiang Hao.
Shen Liyang's first confession.
Even if it is weird, such a bizarre thing did happen to Xue Xuxu!
Four-dimensional space? Because of this hour watch?
After the incident, the hour hand will be reversed by one square; What is not indicative is the number of times I go back!
Suddenly, she closed her fingertips and held the watch firmly in the palm of her hand, placing it on her chest, feeling the frequency of her heart's restless beat, trying to think about how to face the next may be more incredible!
Suddenly, the mobile phone screen on his side lit up, and with the ringing ringtone, Xue Xuxu's whole body trembled violently.
When she glanced at Jiang Hao's name, she couldn't help frowning.
……
"Hey." When the ringtone repeated for the second time, she put her phone to her ear.
The other end was silent for a while, thinking that Jiang Hao was very surprised that she didn't expect her to answer. Yes, his response also seemed less certain, "Lifelike? ”
"Hmm."
Jiang Hao sighed, and Shicai whispered again, "Lifelike, are you okay?" ”
Hearing this, Xue Xuxu turned his head to look at the diary on the spread and the hour watch in his other hand, and replied coldly, "It's not good." ”
The answer of "......" made Jiang Hao not know how to respond.
Suddenly, the two fell into an awkward silence.
Xue Xuxu didn't hang up the phone, but his whole attention was still on the watch in his hand. She thought seriously, looked at the two things in front of her, suddenly hooked the corners of her mouth, and asked leisurely, "Jiang Hao, if you wake up and find that you have returned to the past, what will you do?" ”
At that time, Jiang Hao quietly looked at the dim sky, and replied into the microphone, "I'll be afraid." After saying that, he sighed heavily, "Lifelike, maybe we shouldn't come back." ”
"Yes." Xue Xuxu laughed back, "I'm not afraid." "Not only is I not afraid, but on the contrary, I am looking forward to it.
"Lifelike!" Shen Liyang immediately called her, and seemed to have faintly felt uneasy.
Xue Xuxu also sighed, "Help me say sorry to my uncle and aunt." Maybe I'll be very busy these days, so I'll take care of the wedding first......"
What does "......" mean? Don't let him bother, but the wedding continued, and Jiang was so messy.
"Okay Jiang, when I figure it out, I'll tell you 1510."
As he spoke, Xue Xuxu hung up the phone and quickly searched in the phone book.
She grabbed the diary on the bed, hugged the hour watch in her hand to her chest, and walked with the black skull silk scarf on the glove and said, "Hey, I'm Xue Xuxu." Wang Hao, is the key to Shen Liyang's house with you? ”
……
Shen Liyang's parents divorced after his college entrance examination, and the house in Jiangcheng was transferred to Shen Liyang without objection; His father then started a new family, while his mother wowed over the disappearance of her son. However, she always believed that Shen Liyang would come back, so the old house was always kept.
"Liyang has been missing for almost six years, and a few days ago, Liyang's mother called the bureau leaders, saying that she would come to apply for a death certificate after the Chinese New Year."
Hearing this, Xue Xuxu was very surprised, and asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”
Wang Hao climbed to the third floor and stood still, took out the key from his pocket, and sank, "Liyang's mother has been diagnosed with terminal liver cancer......"
Xue Xuxu, "......"
The two of them walked in the aisle full of debris one after the other, Wang Hao carefully helped him push away the obstacles in front of him, make more space for Xue Xuxu, and then pointed to an old gray wooden door not far away, "That's Liyang's home." ”
Xue Xuxu glanced at it, lowered his head and hummed softly; Wang Hao saw that she didn't react, so he didn't say anything, and stuffed the key into the hole.
It may have been too long, and the holes were jammed with dust, and it took a while to react.
"It's on!" With Wang Hao's joy, the dust in the room rushed to his face, and he turned his head and waved his hand in the air, "Miss Xue, you will go in later...... bar. What are you looking at? ”
While Wang Hao was fighting against the dust, Xue Xuxu squatted on the edge of the door, raised his hand to wipe the bottom door frame, and gradually swept out some of the original blue of the wooden door, and there were a few scratches like blades on the blue wooden board.
Based on the instinct of the criminal police, Wang Hao also bent down to feel the piece more clearly, and the result turned out to be a few crooked words: Xue Xuxu, Shen Liyang, and a peach heart was drawn in the middle.
You don't have to guess, you know that it is Xue Xuxu's handwriting.
Xue Xuxu looked at it for a long time and smiled, "When I chase him, I often come here, and I always eat behind closed doors, so I use a compass to carve this on the door if I am not convinced." ”
Wang Hao didn't know what to take for a while, so he straightened up and looked at the crack in the door, "Miss Xue, if Liyang is still here, will you still marry that gentleman?" ”
Xue Xuxu paused, put his hand on his knee and stood up with considerable difficulty, and looked at Wang Hao with a serious face, "People say that it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy one family." How do I think you've been ill-motivated! ”
Listening to this playful tone, Wang Hao was also stunned, and his two eyebrows were raised. After thinking about it, he scratched his head and said, "It's just the feeling...... Forget it, occupational diseases, don't mind! ”
Xue Xuxu smiled and nodded, "When I thought I was going to get married, I didn't know about his disappearance. So, even if he's still here, nothing will change! ”
"Then why did you suddenly ask to come here?" Wang Hao remembers Xue Xuxu's firm attitude when he was in the supermarket.
However, Xue Xuxu didn't answer and pushed the door open.
This is an old-fashioned two-bedroom apartment, with no floor-to-ceiling windows and no wide balconies, and there are security windows at the large windows opposite the door, and the curtains that can't tell the color are half drawn, illuminating most of the home furnishings.
The wooden sofa, the crooked cushions, and the bulky large-mouth TV set on the TV cabinet, which seems to be a 23-inch Changhong; Next to the kitchen door is a boxy folding table, next to which is a two-door refrigerator with a number of instant noodles on top of it.
Xue Xuxu walked over and gently wiped the ash from it.
"Hey! It's really Master Kong's braised beef noodles! Wang Hao sighed with a smile, "I have never seen this kid eat the second brand and the second flavor of instant noodles." The taste is single-minded! ”
"Hmm." Xue Xuxu responded, "Shen Liyang said that this is the instant noodles his mother bought for him for the first time, so he is only used to this taste. ”
Wang Hao glanced at her slightly, and replied sincerely, "Yes, he has always been like this to people and things." ”
With a pun, Xue Xuxu seemed to hear something. Yes, she turned her head and asked, "Wang Hao, do you know who the woman who was with Shen Liyang in the end?" ”
"You want to hear the truth?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Of course!"
"I've only seen it once from afar. However, at that time I knew that you were in City B, so I asked him if he was a new girlfriend, and he said no. Wang Hao replied firmly, "You and I know what kind of person Li Yang is. If he says no, it must not be! ”
Xue Xuxu raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Liyang's righteous brother, turned around and walked to the room on the left hand side of the door.
The room was very small, one-fifth the size of Xue Xuxu's bedroom, and it was filled with just a single bed, a desk and a wardrobe; However, this place was her favorite place throughout high school.
The golden sunlight, the light blue curtains, the blue and white checkered sheets and quilt covers, and Shen Liyang sitting at the desk with one hand on his cheek and spinning a ballpoint pen.
Now, the dim and dull space, the web-stowed spiders, the thick dust, and the cactus ball on the desk, which Xue Xuxu brought and raised here, are now dead.
Wang Hao followed up the room, and when he saw Xue Xuxu who was in a daze at the cactus, he couldn't bear to ask, "When Li Yang disappeared, someone from the bureau came to investigate." But nothing is touched, you see what you want, you can take it with you! ”
After listening to Wang Hao's words, Xue Xuxu, who had been indulging in past memories, suddenly realized the purpose of his trip.
