Chapter 3 Yesterday the poor and now the rich toiled, and the spring and autumn flowers were tormented

Previous Chapter

The bat froze and hung in mid-air.

Li Chengyi's eyes were stunned, looking at everything in front of him, and he didn't know what to react to for a while.

In front of him.

It is a large, dimly lit parking lot.

In the boxy open field, there is not a single car, like a closed long box, only dim lights illuminate the ground.

The light is miserable white, and there are two kinds.

One is on the right, a long line fixed to the black ceiling that extends into the gloom in the distance.

The other is on the left, which is a line lamp of about one meter, which is hung horizontally on the ceiling every ten meters, one after the other, and also extends into the distant darkness.

The black and somewhat reflective ground is slightly whitened by the lights, and some blurred white lines of parking spaces can be seen.

'What the hell? Am I dreaming? Li Chengyi gently put down the bat and pinched his thighs fiercely.

The pain quickly spread throughout his body, waking him up.

It doesn't seem like a dream. He reacted quickly.

Even the crossing has appeared, and it seems normal to have something more to do.

Take a deep breath, inhale, exhale to calm his complexion a little.

Standing in the doorway, he paused.

Make sure it's a dream or not. ’

Picking up the bat and approaching, almost touching his face, he took a closer look at its texture.

There are fine spots of smooth rust on the surface of the stick, and the silver lacquer reflects the light in the distance.

In the middle section, there is also an inscription like a scroll-like pattern, and there is a small line in the pattern: Life is a striking.

Underneath the small print is the brand company: Bega Sports. Below that are two letters-like neat characters representing his company.

'Dreams don't have such clarity and delicacy!' ’

Li Chengyi's heart was furious, and he clenched the non-slip handle of the bat, and the dense lines brought a rough feel, which made him reaffirm that this was not a dream.

Generally, according to his experience, to judge whether it is a dream or not, you only need to observe the details to find the clues.

The details of dreams are often blurred.

And now...

He stood in the doorway, took a deep breath, looked at the parking lot outside, and didn't want to go out at all.

Subconsciously, he took a step back, trying to retract into the room and close the door.

Maybe it'll be back to normal when it's closed and reopened. ’

He thought to himself, but his back was against a cold wall.

‘!!! Li Chengyi stiffened and quickly turned his head to look.

The bedroom behind him, I don't know when, turned into a gray-white wall!

The room is gone!?

His bedroom, gone!?

He stood still with his bat, dressed in the gray underwear he wore when he slept, not reacting to what was happening.

The room is gone.

The door frame is also gone.

All that left behind him was a stone wall identical to the others.

If it weren't for the bat he was carrying, he might have thought that sleeping in his room was a hallucination.

Stretching out his hand, Li Chengyi gently touched the wall in front of him.

The hard, cold touch, and rough texture, all told him that the wall in front of him was real.

There are even some small broken dots on the wall, which seem to have been hit by some hard object at an acute angle, revealing the gray-black material of another layer below.

'This... What the hell is going on?!! ’

Li Chengyi was stunned.

He turned again, looked at the parking lot, and took a deep breath.

After hesitating and pausing for a moment, the expression on his face gradually calmed down, and the expression in his eyes changed rapidly.

After a while, he finally let out a long breath and took a step forward.

Call!

In an instant, the sky was spinning, Li Chengyi's eyes were full of flowers, and his consciousness fell into a momentary blur.

He seemed to float up, and the sky was spinning.

Drip, drip....

A shrill alarm vibrates in his ears.

Li Chengyi's eyes gradually regained his gaze.

The parking lot in his eyes changed to the white ceiling of his room.

Pieces of square metal plates, patched together, white square frames, black lines, this is the simple ceiling pattern of the home.

He sat on the bed in a daze, his phone on the bedside table vibrating slightly.

It's a set alarm clock.

The word 'workout' appears on the pale blue screen.

The time is 7:32 minutes.

Li Chengyi took a deep breath and felt that his heart was still beating wildly.

The scene just now was so realistic that he hadn't been able to come back to his senses yet.

Sitting on the bed and waiting for the blood flow to slow down a bit, he slowly picked up his phone in the alarm.

In the background of the phone, there is a deep blue sea water, and in the center are three young people in red life jackets, lying on their backs on a circular inflatable mat.

The three of them put their hands behind their heads and smiled happily.

Golden sunlight, gray inflatable mats, red life jackets, and the bright smiles of the three people form a warm picture in the center of the deep blue water.

Li Chengyi looked at the background photo on the screen, holding his mobile phone in his hand and hanging in the air, waiting for a while, only vague memories poured out in his mind.

'Lin Sang, Chen Xudong. ’

He remembered the names of two other people besides himself.

The girl's name is Lin Sang, and the sturdy boy's name is Chen Xudong.

This was taken by the three of them when they went to the Biasan Islands on the other side of the Blue Ocean together two years ago.

Putting down the phone, he looked at the phone.

It's a simple rectangular silver box, not much different from the mobile phone in the previous life.

It's all screens, no buttons.

Boom.

He put down his phone, lifted the quilt, stood up, walked to the window, tossed aside a few coats and clothes hanging from the window, and opened the window.

The cool air outside turned into a gust of wind that blew on his cheeks, and the aroma of fried eggs entered his nostrils.

The light outside the window is white, and the window is on the fourth floor, and there are rows of cars of different colors parked below.

Opposite is another gray-white ten-storey building, from which you can see the families gradually moving in the windows between the floors.

Li Chengyi turned his head sideways and looked at the sky farther away.

In the blue sky, a hazy white cloud is like cotton wool, sometimes blocking the sun, sometimes leaking a little gold.

He steadied himself, turned and walked to the table, and took out a cleanly polished mirror from a drawer.

I looked at myself in the mirror.

In the mirror, a young face with ordinary black eyes with pale yellow skin was reflected.

The eyebrows are slightly thin, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, and they seem to be smiling all the time, but other than that, there are no features that can be remembered.

The nose is neither high nor short, the mouth is neither wide nor narrow, neither thick nor thin.

He was in his twenties, and his eyes were curious and showed a hint of surprise.

'It doesn't seem to be any different from the previous life?' ’

This thought flashed through Li Chengyi's heart.

According to the habits of his predecessor, he should now get dressed and go out for exercise.

Although the memory is vague, many things are remembered.

Pulling open the closet, he quickly flipped through a gray tracksuit and put it on, then opened the door and went out into the living room.

The living room was empty, and the parents and sister of the former were gone. There are also a few pairs of shoes missing from the shoe cabinet at the door.

On the gray rectangular stone table was a box of things that looked like jelly.

Li Chengyi approached and picked it up and looked at it.

The outside of the box is printed with a line of words: white fungus mung bean porridge - Gudingpai.

After hesitating, he tore open the lid of the box and raised his head to drink.

The taste is sweet and silky, and it is no different from what I ate in my previous life.

Quickly dry out breakfast, change your shoes, and bring a sports fanny pack.

Li Chengyi carefully reviewed his vague memories, took his mobile phone key, opened the door and walked out of the house.

In the empty and cold stairwell, the silver elevator was a little faster than he had imagined.

Almost pressed the button, counted four seconds in my mind, and arrived on the first floor.

Leaving the stairwell and walking out of the hole, his feet stepped on the gray ground outside for the first time, and he felt the hard and solid touch, and Li Chengyi's heart suddenly became steady.

He stood at the entrance of the building, feeling the warm wind blowing on his body, the wind carried the fragrance of flowers, with the aroma of breakfast, an indescribable sense of freshness, welling up in his heart.

Jingle bells.

Suddenly, there was a bell at the entrance of the opposite building.

An old man with gray hair was helping his granddaughter to sit on the back seat of the bicycle, and he rushed forward one step at a time, turned over and got into the car, and rode the car to send his granddaughter to school.

The little girl under the age of ten was carrying a schoolbag, yawning, there were still a little tears in the corners of her eyes, and there were fingerprints on the side of her little face.

Li Chengyi moved his ankles while watching the little girl and the old man gradually move away.

He jumped twice, followed the direction of the bicycle, and trotted to catch up.

That is the direction out of the community, and the location of the daily predecessor exercise is the side of this community called Happy Community, in a small park.

On the internal road of the community, a car drove by from the side, and it was a crowd of people who went out to work.

The leaves and branches on the head rattled in the wind, and a little yellow debris was constantly spilling, which seemed to be some kind of flower petal, or fluff on the leaves.

Li Chengyi ran out of the community along the road, paused in front of a big red stone engraved with happiness on the right side of the door, and then continued to run towards the right side of the community.

Fresh air, good temperature, bright light, clean streets.

The traffic and people who come and go to work and send their children to school, as well as the people who get up early to exercise and exercise.

All the sense of reality made Li Chengyi's somewhat unstable mood slowly settle down.

He ran to the entrance of the small park, stopped at the edge of a circular clearing, and waited.

Exercising with his predecessor are the other two people in the background photo of his mobile phone: Lin Sang and Chen Xudong.

Seven days a week, five days a week, they all come here together for an early workout.

Li Chengyi has some expectations and some apprehensions, everything in this world is new to him.

The interpersonal relationships of the predecessor were both familiar and strange to him.

While thinking about how to deal with the other two friends, the anxiety caused by last night's strange experience was gradually forgotten.

He had a vague sense of trance, as if this was his real self, and the previous life in his memory was just an extremely real dream.

But this feeling was forgotten in the blink of an eye.

Because, there was already a man on the right trotting towards him.

"Xiaoyi!" The man shouted from afar, and his running movements were standard.

This person is tall and big, at least 1.9 meters tall, with a flat head, swollen muscles, very big, wearing black short sleeves and gray and white sweatpants, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a big red mole on the left side of the eyebrows, which is Chen Xudong, a friend and classmate of the predecessor Li Chengyi.
