In November, Yu Siqi, who had been recuperating in the ward for many days, finally made a complete recovery. After getting used to the life of someone feeding him and dressing and washing him every day, he suddenly asked him to do it himself, and he was even a little rusty.

Shi Yizhe smiled from ear to ear as he clumsily put on his thick coat.

"Isn't it funny?" Yu Siqi was a little annoyed.

"If you want me to say, let him lie down for another ten days and half a month, I guess he will have to learn how to walk again." Shi Yizhe did not back down at all.

"Alright, stop making fun of him." Xie Baozhen, who was holding a breakfast plate on the side, put the tray on the table and said, "Anyway, today is the day he recovers, just give him a little time." ”

Maybe Ah Zhen's dissuasion had an effect, or maybe Ah Zhe just felt a little bored. He just shrugged his shoulders and left the room.

Yu Siqi picked up the chopsticks awkwardly, and he felt that his right hand was a little sluggish, not at all like his own arm.

Seeing this situation, Ah Zhen said kindly: "Sometimes it's like this, and it gets better if you adapt more, but now you just lack practice." ”

Under Ah Zhen's enthusiastic "supervision", Yu Siqi stuffed all the food into his mouth with his long-lost hands, and then walked out of the ward.

Unlike in the past, there are some coals piled on both sides of the otherwise clean corridor. When he arrived in the living room, Father Ann was sitting on the couch reading a brochure.

As if sensing Yu Siqi's arrival, Father An raised his head and said, "How does it feel to recover from a serious illness, do you have some special understanding?" ”

"Not at all," Yu Siqi said, sitting next to him, "I hate that bed now." ”

"Isn't this a new life insight!" In an exaggerated tone, Father Ann said: "During the time you were recuperating and recovering from your body, Ah Zhe and I went to the place where you once lived. ”

"And then?" Yu Siqi asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

"A lot, but it's clearly not the answer we need." Fr. Ann returned to his normal tone and said: "First of all, apartment 23 has completely disappeared from this world. It was a massive accident, wasn't it? The official source said that it was a gas explosion and surrounded the whole place, after all, so many people died. ”

"Gas?" Yu Siqi asked with a blank face: "Is there any evidence?" ”

"Evidence can be falsified," said Father Ann earnestly, "and I would like to talk to you about something that I have never wanted to say to you. ”

"What's the matter?" Yu Siqi asked.

"According to the official account, there was a gas explosion in the underground pipes of apartment 23. According to statistics, a total of 19 people were killed. "I'm sorry, but you're a dead man now. ”

"Dead man, I don't understand... Didn't you revive me? Yu Siqi asked.

"Yes, we did pull you back from death. But the official record is that you're already a 'dead man', I wonder if you can understand what I mean? Father Ann said.

"What he means is that you are already a 'three-no' person, and all the files have been destroyed by the official, congratulations on your less... From now on, you have become the 'undead' who should not exist in this world, just like us. Shi Yizhe walked to the living room neatly dressed and said, "Welcome to join." ”

"Wait... What do you mean? Yu Siqi's mind was a little swollen, and some not-so-good emotions were stimulating his tear ducts.

"Let me put it this way, you've lost everything, except you're alive." Father Ann said.

"But, my family is still there, won't I go back now to prove that I'm not dead?" Yu Siqi was just about to stand up when he was pressed back by Shi Yizhe's familiar and powerful hands.

"What are you going to do? Do you want to go to your parents who have already done something for you and explain it to them? Do you think it's possible? Do you think this can be explained in a few words? Shi Yizhe reprimanded.

"So what can I do? I'm not dead, why? Yu Siqi's voice was a little hoarse.

"The former you are dead, and now the new you has appeared." "I don't know if you can understand me, but I think... Your situation is delicate now, and obviously you are unlikely to return to your former life, but isn't it your own choice to live here with us? ”

"Oh... Is that what you're offering? Yu Siqi was a little angry: "Let me give up everything?" ”

"That's not the price we're offering you, and you certainly don't have room to bargain." Father Ann said coldly, "Perhaps I care too much about your feelings, I always ignore how fragile the human mind is, and I must apologize to you for this. But if you think we're doing you nothing, you can walk out of this house, and I don't mind what kind of commotion a man who has been officially declared dead walking down the street. ”

"So what can I do, do I have a choice?" Yu Siqi covered his face with both hands, and his slender fingers touched the short hair on his head.

"That's why we want to talk to you," said Fr. Ann, waving the pamphlet in his hand, "and I've been thinking about it for the past two days. If you mind a change of look, I think this should be what you need. ”

"Wait... You mean you want me to give me a makeover? Yu Siqi raised his head again and asked.

"Yes, if you could, I'd even like you to replace your name as well, so we'll have something easier." Fr. Ann said lightly.

"If I refuse, it's already terrifying to change my face, and I even give up the name given by my parents, so I might as well just die." Yu Siqi flatly denied.

"Think about it," pleaded Father Ann with a sudden change of tone.

"Didn't I tell you, Father, not to do such frivolous things, why impose your own preferences on others?" Xie Baozhen, who was carrying a satchel, came out of the bedroom and said, "How many times have I told you, your habit is a bit disgusting." ”

"Who said that," said Father Ann solemnly, "is there anything wrong with me choosing a name for my son?" As the old saying goes: a teacher for one day, a father for life. What's more, I also saved his life, is there anything wrong with me as his reborn parent? ”

"Don't recognize your relatives, Xiao An, he hasn't recognized you as a father yet!" Shi Yizhe sneered.

"It's... What do you want to name me? Yu Siqi blushed a little and asked a little shyly.

"How about Jacob, I recently heard someone there tell me a story about Jacob's ladder in a research institute, I think it's very enlightening, let's call it Jacob!" Father Ann said with a dumb eye.

"Can I be when I didn't ask that question?" Yu Siqi touched the root of his ear, which was a little hot, and said, "I feel a little embarrassed to call this name." ”

"Oh, yes... Forget it, the plan to change the name and face is put on hold for the time being. Fr. Ann threw the manual in the trash and said, "Since we don't agree, we can't force it, because we are all civilized people." ”

"Wait, what should I do when I go out in the future?" Yu Siqi asked.

"Don't bother with that," said Father An, pointing to Ah Zhe and Ah Zhen, who were ready to go, "aren't they ready?" Remember to buy an extra bag of flour to come back, it's easier to eat if you add someone to this house! ”

"Oh... How do I think it was the priest who got up in the middle of the night and went to the toilet and secretly ate all the freshly steamed steamed buns in the kitchen. Xie Baozhen raised her eyebrows and said.

"Nonsense, so many steamed buns, how can I eat them all by myself." Father Ann justifiably argued.

"Let's go," Shi Yizhe, who realized that he was about to be exposed, hurriedly took Ah Zhen's hand and walked away, leaving Father An with an aggrieved face and Yu Siqi sitting on the sofa secretly having fun.

"Don't laugh, what's ridiculous." Father An turned his face and said, "The steamed buns are so delicious, they don't let people eat them!" ”
