Chapter 20: The Story I

The wheel of time went backwards to the day five years ago, a week after the trip to Yunnan.

Just returned to Beijing, Xiao Yin was still a little uncomfortable, because Beijing and Yunnan are too different, and a person who suddenly walked back to the concrete city from the woods and mountains will inevitably faint. After taking the train for more than a day and the subway for nearly half a day, Xiao Yin finally returned to his residence with the pot of orchids, which was the ground floor of a commercial building, a basement of less than ten square meters, bottomless and dark.

In fact, the thing he is most worried about is whether this orchid can survive in the end, you must know that his room has no sunlight at all, although the orchid is a shade-loving plant, but this environment is still a little too harsh. The people of the Xianglan tribe said that now this orchid is linked to Xiao Yin, and once the orchid withers, Xiao Yin's life will end. If it was a month ago, Xiao Yin might not have cared about this, he had long wanted to die, and his bleak life had already had suicidal thoughts many times, of course, he had never told his friend Liu Quan about these things. Think about it, a person is desperate to the extent that he will pin his hopes on a dream, and the trip to Yunnan was the last straw in his heart at that time.

But now the situation was different, the power of Orchid Gu made him begin to have hope in his heart, and he suddenly didn't want to die.

Xiao Yin initially put the orchid in front of his computer screen, because it was the most densely lit place in the whole room, and after a week, the orchid did not change in any way, neither grew nor withered, but was just attached to the pot without moving. What's more, the world around him doesn't seem to have changed much, Xiao Yin is still doing that boring job during the day, and he still has to suffer from the cold eyes of his colleagues, and his figure has not changed in any way, he is still so bloated and so decadent.

At this time, Xiao Yin's mind was very unstable, he had gambled everything in order to realize the dream in his heart, the ritual of the Xianglan clan made him almost cry to the point of liver and gall, if this orchid could not bring him something in return, he might choose to understand himself before the orchid Gu attacked.

He bought a few ultraviolet lamps on Taobao, wanting to simulate an environment that was relatively close to real light, which was the only money Xiao Yin could get, and if he had money, Xiao Yin would have moved into a well-lit room. He could only try to the best of his ability, and this was the last struggle of life.

After another week, the orchid still hasn't changed at all, and life still doesn't seem to change.

Perhaps the only change is that the nightmare that Xiao Yin has been having all this time is gone, he has never dreamed of that city, that valley, and the bamboo building in the fog again, he began to stop dreaming, and his sleep has become much smoother.

Later, Xiao Yin made a lot of attempts, watering and fertilizing, and even bought various nutrient solutions, but to no avail. By the time he was a month, Xiao Yin's heart was completely desperate, and he began to suspect that the Xianglan clan was just five liars, and the so-called Gu technique was just a trick that ordinary people could not see through.

Late at night that day, Xiao Yin dragged his tired body back to his residence as usual, his mood was extremely bad, not only because of the problem of orchids, but also because his work was also facing a big bottleneck, as a top student of Tsinghua University, although his work attitude was very bad, but the most basic business could still be completed smoothly, based on this situation, the boss still had a little indulgence in him, but recently because his energy was spent on taking care of the orchid, Xiao Yin's work status became worse than before, Almost every day, I am just stunned in front of the computer. The boss couldn't tolerate him anymore and gave him a harsh sneer, with harsh accusations that were hard to hear, and told him that if he continued like this, he would face a brutal fire.

Xiao Yin was really tired, physically and mentally exhausted, he lay on the hard plank, and soon fell asleep.

When he woke up, he glanced at his phone, it was three o'clock in the middle of the night, but immediately he found something strange, his room seemed to be much cleaner, before his miscellaneous items were littered, the room was almost full of garbage, and now his room has become spotless, as if someone has sorted it out. Xiao Yin got up in a daze, walked to the computer desk and picked up the cup to take a sip of water, he first carefully checked the water cup, because with his previous experience, there are often cockroaches drowning in this water cup, and he drank it after the inspection, but he felt that something was even more wrong with this drink, what was in this cup was actually sweet tea, Xiao Yin basically never drank tea, but he could still feel that this tea was soaked in very high quality, and it was a taste that only professionals could brew. Xiao Yin looked up at the roof, there was only a small incandescent lamp there before, but now there is a delicate ceiling and lamps, and the small room is brilliantly lit.

Xiao Yin looked around his small room with shock and doubt, and then almost didn't die of fright, just beside his bed, there was a girl in white sitting at the moment, the girl didn't look at Xiao Yin at the moment, but was combing her long hair by herself.

"You!" Xiao Yin quickly calmed down, and then let out an angry reprimand. "Who the hell are you? How did it show up in my room. ”

The girl slowly raised her head and said softly. "I cleaned your room and helped you make tea, but I didn't expect you to have such a temper."

It didn't matter if he looked up, Xiao Yin could see her face completely, it was a face that he was familiar with, Xiao Yin felt that his heart was about to jump out at that moment. Zheng ...... Zheng Xin? How are you. ”

Xiao Yin will not admit that face, because it is so familiar, until now Xiao Yin still thinks of that face from time to time. The first love of his, the woman who had hurt him severely.

"My name is not Zheng Xin, my name is Xiaolan, the orchid of orchids." The girl smiled slightly, then lowered her head again and began to comb her hair. "I'm the other half of your body now."

"How is it possible, you are obviously Zheng Xin, otherwise how can you look exactly the same as her." Xiao Yin walked to the girl's side and began to look at her repeatedly, except for some differences in dress and temperament, her facial features and body shape were completely the same.

"You don't understand this, I was originally an orchid, I have no face, the reason why you can see the way I am now is only because this is the appearance of the woman in your heart, if others see me, it may be something else." The girl smiled mischievously at Xiao Yin. "I represent what you most desire a woman to look like in your heart."
