"Welcome home, dear."

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Lianwen in an apron bowing to me, and then said solemnly.

"Wow, what are you doing?"

This really scared me, I went straight home after cleaning, I wanted to put my schoolbag first and go directly to find Lianwen, but I didn't expect her to appear directly at my house.

"Didn't you say we would go home together? So I came back. ”

She looked up and smiled devilishly.

Wow...... You're welcome, it turns out that she understands it this way. At this time, my mother came out of the kitchen, and it seemed that the two of them were preparing dinner.

At this time, I saw a familiar figure again. She was living on the sofa, leaving her schoolbag on the sofa at will, and the books were already scattered.

"Hey, Qingyu, you're throwing things around again."

I can't help but want to preach, after all, I haven't seen my old sister in a week.

That's right, she is the old girl who usually lives in the school, today is Friday, and she comes home from school on the weekend.

"Ah, that's troublesome."

She didn't seem to pay much attention to me.

"Is my brother free tomorrow?"

She asked me lazily.

"I'm going to school."

"Huh? What school to go to on Saturday. ”

"Who told our school to have a sports day on the weekend."

"You don't have to participate in any sports events."

She complained mercilessly.

It's too much, why can't I.

But I don't need to argue with her, just let her know that I have something to do tomorrow.

Qingyu is three years younger than me, in other words, she is now in her third year of junior high school.

"Wow, I want to go to the supermarket and buy snacks."

She suddenly shouted.

"Eat dinner well, you don't want to buy it."

"Whoever said that, you must still want to eat."

My sister and my mother started bickering with each other again, and this is already daily life.

I ignored it and walked into the kitchen.

"Lianwen, I have something to say to you in a while."

I deliberately said it very solemnly, of course, this is indeed a serious matter.

She was stir-frying, and when she heard me say that, she turned to look at me, and then leaned back.

"You...... What do you want? ”

Why be so scared?! Am I that scary?!

I suppressed the anger in my heart that I wanted to complain.

"So, it's just a bit of a thing. Very important. ”

"I'm sorry."

She bowed to me suddenly.

I was just rejected? …… It's sad, but I'm not going to get down, I'm going to ...... again Well? What the?!

I didn't do anything, why refuse me to do it?!

"I'm not supposed to look at the unspeakable magazines hidden under your bed. But rest assured, I didn't tell anyone else. ”

So that's the case, what a good boy who knows how to measure, and deserves an award...... Well?! What the?!

What is she doing under my bed?!

"No, no, no, who still reads magazines now, can they just go online and watch online? And no one is hiding that thing under the bed now, okay?! And you've been heard outside for a long time since you spoke so loudly! ”

Oops, I had a slight gaffe.

"Also, your potato chicken, it's going to be mushy."

This is an important point.

"Uh-huh, ahh

Then Lianwen's voice was endless.

If only she could be so lively at school, she would definitely be more popular.

In fact, Lianwen is not so popular in school, and the reason is long.

After dinner, Qingyu yelled that she wanted to go to the supermarket, and her mother accompanied her.

I wanted to tell Lianwen about what happened to me, but I never knew how to say it. What can be done to make her more acceptable? I don't think that's possible, because the thing itself is hard to accept. More importantly, I've been thinking about whether or not to get her involved.

"Eh......"

I sighed and decided to take a shower and calm down.

It was cold and there was no heating in the room, so I decided to bring a big bath towel into the bathroom so that I could come out without getting too cold.

I opened the bathroom door and opened the tap in the bathtub to store the hot water. Then I stripped naked and washed my hair while thinking about the problem.

Just then, I heard the door open, not the door, but the bathroom door.

I couldn't help but be surprised, because I knew that there was no one else in the family except for Lianwen.

What's the situation? Could it be that a robber broke into the door and came to the bathroom to rob and kill me who was defenseless?

In fact, I was not only defenseless, but naked, and it was not even a good idea to escape, and besides, my body could not penetrate the bathroom window.

In other words, I'm the turtle in the urn now. No, I'm too optimistic, the turtle can at least retract into the shell, I'm not even a turtle.

Up to now, the only way to deal with it is to be calm, and calmness makes the ship of ten thousand years.

Actually, I still have a little bit to look forward to.

The door opened, and the smooth scent of ketones appeared in front of me.

“.…… What are you doing. ”

I looked at the naked love essay and deliberately lowered my voice

Of course, I didn't mean to look at her, in this case, as a gentleman, I must look away, but unfortunately, I am not a gentleman.

In fact...... Actually, I was looking at her on purpose.

"It's been a long time since we've taken a shower together."

She didn't seem embarrassed at all, but stared at me with great interest.

"That's right, last time it was...... Well...... A few months ago. ”

It seems that something similar happened a few months ago, but this kind of thing is not customary.

"That's it."

She cautiously walked in, and I stared straight at her.

It's amazing.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, and you've got more fat."

I calmly said that if I had a cigarette in my hand, I might look like a murderous underworld.

"Wow! It's really fake! ”

She became frightened, pouting at herself in the mirror and pinching her stomach.

Of course, I didn't mean that, and fat doesn't mean belly either.

"I'll rub your back for you."

It's a legitimate reason, I'm a genius.

"Oh~"

She replied energetically, if it weren't for being naked, she would look exactly like a schoolboy on the eve of a spring outing.

To divert my thoughts, I got up from the bathtub and pondered the origin of the universe.

Yesterday (early this morning?) One of the books I read at the bookstore was called "A Discussion of the Existence of Parallel Universes," which talked about some incredible assumptions. Parallel worlds are a cliché. Many works and novels have similar settings. Of course, it's uncertain whether it actually exists or not, but I'm more inclined to exist. Because what happened to me was incredible enough, unbelievable enough to write a book called "Discussion on the Existence of a No Man's World". I wish I had just entered a parallel world with no people at a certain time. But since it's a parallel world, why is there no one......? Why are all the facilities of the city normal, really ...... Difficult to explain. How many parallel worlds are there? The explanations in the book tend to be "innumerable". There are countless selves in countless worlds, countless things happening, and countless different paths. In this case, why are parallel worlds so similar, indicating that different paths will eventually reach the same end...... As a result, this is the "convergence of the world line" in theory. The gods set up countless "keyframes" for the course of the world...... Countless worlds in parallel, different paths...... will pass by......

Hmm, ah.

"There are so many ducks~I can't count how many ducks~"

No, no matter how much I forced myself to think of some mess, I couldn't take my eyes off her, she was sitting on a stool, facing the mirror, and I was behind her, and I could see her every move in the mirror. This guy kept twisting his waist happily and humming songs, shaking up and down with the rhythm of things that shouldn't be seen, and I even began to meditate silently to calm myself down.

"Huh...... Qinghe. ”

Sitting on a stool, Lianwen's expression became serious.

"Huh......?"

The sudden change made me nervous.

"You really ...... It's Qinghe, right? ”

There was anxiety, restlessness and nervousness in her trembling voice.

……

"Really...... That's right. ”

Again, she asked the silent me for confirmation.

……

Really.

I was scared and struggling with something, all of which was unnecessary in front of her.

"Do you have something to tell me?"

She turned around, her uneasy eyes revealing suspicion, the water droplets on her forehead slid down, moistening her long eyelashes, and her sparkling eyes shone brightly in the bathroom light, giving rise to an urge to hug her.

……

"Not really."

[I smiled, but it was a smile from the heart.] A warm well-up welled up in my heart. 】

"Yes...... Is it? ”

She looked at me, hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't ask.

[However, she has obviously become a little happier.] 】

I didn't say anything to Lianwen in the end.

At half past nine in the evening, I sent Lianwen home. After making sure she had returned home safely, we said goodnight to each other and I left her house. Walk down the damp stairs to the outside of the building. I unzipped my coat, put on my hat and gloves, found the electric car parked in the parking space next to the road, and took out my headphones, which were shaped like two thick round discs with futuristic lines engraved on them, and they would automatically snap into the left and right ears when they were close to each other.

The road where Lianwen's house is located is Nanqing Road, along Nanqing Road to the west, "Lot Tianxing" two intersections, and then eastward to Xiando Avenue. It's almost ten o'clock, and most of the shops haven't closed yet, and the road is bustling with pedestrians.

I have a place I want to go.

The bridge to the east was closed due to construction, so I planned to walk around Sendo Street.

As soon as you approach the commercial plaza in the center of the south of the city, you will see a temporary stage, scattered pillar lights, bridge lights are dazzling, several large speakers play dynamic dance music, several trendy dancers stand on the stage, crowds crowd around the stage, including many shoppers joining in the fun.

In other words, such excessive light and sound pollution must have made me unhappy and stayed away. But today is different, the dynamic music penetrates my body and hits my heart, and this feeling is surprisingly good. Why didn't you like it before? I hated being noisy, but when I really quieted down, I realized how scary it was.

I didn't want to stay, this kind of movement just stops at the cutscenes. But something unexpected happened.

I saw people I didn't expect. - Two people walking side by side in the crowd.

I couldn't recognize the back, and I couldn't even say that I couldn't even recognize the face of staring at them when I stood in front of them and stared at them in such light pollution. But because I deliberately felt the dynamics of the scene, deliberately drove the car very slowly, and they happened to pass by head-on, I realized.

"Arbor...... And incense sticks? ”

It was a man and a woman, the young man was very tall, which made the girls in parallel seem very weak, but the down jacket was exactly the same as what I had seen in the afternoon, and with her personal body lines, I was sure that she was the incense stick herself. As for that boy, I'm sure I won't forget it.

This caught my attention, it was close to ten o'clock, and it must have been extraordinary for the two of them to travel alone at night, passing by such a bustling business district.

- But it has nothing to do with me. It's just that the existence of arbor makes me feel "uncertain".

This feeling made me turn around halfway, this is the auxiliary road, turn into the sidewalk to go up to the parking lot of the square, along the sidewalk by the inside side of the square, a row of electric car parking spaces, so it is not a retrograde.

I walked back down the sidewalk, made sure I was close to the two of them, and parked in the parking space.

From the moment I started, I felt the breath of being watched. Now it looks a lot like a praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind.

I turned my head slightly, and stole my gaze behind me. A figure suddenly vanished.

“……”

Sure enough, she felt suspicious and followed.

[I don't need to be afraid, I don't need to be afraid of the non-existent me after the "abnormality". 】

[Because I believe that if it is a love text, she must be able to feel suspicious. 】

Just like now, act out of incomprehension of me.

She knew me better than I could have ever imagined. Because of this, I believe in her, she must know more than me, and must be the first, and most likely the only one who sees through "me".

So, all I need to do is play the role of "myself" at the moment.

Everything that comes next, it's up to me to get the hang of it.

It was perhaps a good point to take advantage of, and I changed my mind on the spur of the moment.

I followed the trees and incense sticks in front of me, but unfortunately I found that time was running out. [But what I want to do is just follow along, as long as this action exists, it can bring the meaning I want.] This night may have been the beginning of my anti-guest-oriented. 】

The minute hand went to zero, and the clock rang at ten o'clock in the evening in the commercial square.

Unexpectedly, the bell at ten o'clock rang in the empty and deserted city of Qianshan. The surrounding skyscrapers are like countless solid locks, so that the vast bell cannot escape the palm of the city. The sound of the makeshift stage suddenly disappeared, leaving only the colorful lights shining on the empty stage.

It's ten o'clock in the evening, on Sendo Avenue in Chisugi City.

The lonely night has come again.
