72. The truth
124
[Did you know?]
It's so hard to be your friend,
I don't want to disappoint you,
……]
Zhong Xian stared at the ceiling, and he and Deng Yi were lying upright on the hotel bed like two zombies.
He heard Deng Yi gently humming the melody of the song. Like a wisp of light smoke lingering over the memory.
[Did you know?]
It's hard to be your friend.
I don't want to disappoint you.
How do all this end,
Where else can we go?
Can we leave together?......]
Zhong Xian felt bitter inside.
He didn't, and can't continue to force the other person to face up to the obvious affection between them. That guy obviously has a knot in his heart, which can't be overcome in a while.
"I'm not open~." Zhong Xian looked at the ceiling and muttered to himself, he slowly moved his fingers, touched Deng Yi's hand, and slowly moved away. He sighed heavily.
"You're so cold. I officially inform you that I am tired of chasing. ”
"You've always been like this, and you can't stand the slightest frustration." Deng Yi responded indifferently on the other side of the bed.
Zhong Xian said angrily: "When I let go, will we just break up?" Are you just going to do nothing? ”
Deng Yi said after a while, "Do you think you've done a lot?"
"Between us, at least, it's always been me who worked on it." The desire to vent can't be vented makes Zhong Xian show annoyance.
There was silence for a while, and no one spoke again.
Deng Yi turned over to face Zhong Xian and propped up half of his body with his left elbow. "It's called 'see you for a long time.'" Time is a magical thing, and if you wait long enough, things will always turn around. He said.
Zhong Xian glanced at Deng Yi: "What do you mean?"
Deng Yi smiled mockingly.
Zhong Xian was puzzled: "Stop playing dumb riddles." Regarding the past, I know that I probably can't stand you. Can't you just say it? Did we know each other before, did something happen? You know that I have a problem with my brain, and you force me, and I can't remember it! ”
Deng Yi put a hand behind his head and lowered his eyelids: "If, words can make you understand......"
"Can't you put it into words?" Zhong Xian was surprised, "Then what are you going to do until you keep driving me crazy?"
Deng Yi stretched out his hand and pulled Zhong Xian in front of his eyes: "Make a bold attempt, but there may be unknown dangers...... A solution that is not a solution. He then took out the silver necklace with the crescent pendant from his pocket.
"I'm willing to try." Zhong Xian had already seen the effect of Deng Yi's hypnosis on him, and he was a little excited. "I can open my heart to you, and you can put your thoughts into my head — you said it."
"My memories can't be shoehorned into you. You have to think of that part of yourself. The part that I can't do anything about either. Deng Yi said. There are three points in time where you can choose where to start. 1st time point: 16 years old; Second: first-year university; The third point in time was: a year ago. ”
"Why single choice? Of course I want them all. Zhong Xian said.
"If you want to hurry, you can't get there." Deng Yi wiped the diamonds on the crescent-shaped pendant of the necklace with his fingers. "At each point in time, let you see a part first, and then you choose which one to start with – it should be better if you do exactly what you want."
Zhong Xian lay in Deng Yi's arms and looked up at the latter's face: "Is there such a god?" You're not saying you only know fur about hypnosis. ”
"It depends on who you compare to. What do you think I've been studying all these years abroad?"
"Aren't you studying for an EMBA?"
"That's just a supplement. I focused on the study of pathological mental disorders. ”
"I don't understand you for spending your energy in so many strange places. You're shaking the necklace and you're starting to hypnosis?"
"Relax......" Deng Yi gently stroked Zhong Xian's hair and face, and then gently rubbed his shoulders and arms to help him relax his whole body, "Ten years ago in the summer, you entered the first year of high school, the new school is in the southeast of the city, and there is a new high-rise commercial building connected to the campus......"
"I remember." Zhong Xian looked at the necklace, the swaying rhythm made him gradually dull, his brain seemed to start to take off from his tired body, his eyelids began to heavily, "New school...... I remember, there were some new village seedlings planted around, the grass on the stadium was like a dog gnawing, I was a resident student, I often ran out to play at night, and after the school gate was locked, I had to climb over the wall from the second floor of the high-rise residential building to enter the campus......"
"Yes." Deng Yi's voice seemed to be attached to the ears of the bell strings, slow and low. "You always come back late. What you don't know is that on the fifth floor of the new building there is a window facing the school, and there is a small black astronomical telescope in the window...... There's a guy behind the telescope who's going to be watching you climb over the walls of the school and into the campus at that time every day. ”
Zhong Xian nodded in confusion, and he vaguely saw his sixteen-year-old self, a figure flying like a bird across the campus.
"You jumped over the wall with an exploding head on your head, like a Samoyed in human form......"
Zhong Xian closed his eyes, and some distorted and discolored images in front of his eyes gradually pieced together - he saw himself carrying his guitar on his back, getting on the elevator, which stopped on the fifth floor, and he knocked on the room number 508.
A tall adult came and opened the door.
"I'm a tutor." He heard his own voice crisply, and he even saw the cute smile on his childish face. He was taken to the inner room by the adult, and a slender boy sat on the floor with his back to him, facing a picture of a dog on the wall.
The man who had escorted him into the room retreated, and the door closed behind the bell.
"I'm here to teach you how to play the guitar." Zhong Xian said happily.
The boy did not respond.
Zhong Xian put down his guitar, looked around, and chose to sit on a soft stool. "Your family is rich." Waited five minutes. Seeing that the boy didn't respond, Zhong Xian got up from the stool, looked around, and saw that there was no one else in the room, so he walked up to the boy, pulled the other man's ear, and asked him to turn to look at him.
"You're not going to be dumb, are you? How do you teach a dumb person, isn't that embarrassing me?"
The boy who had his ears pulled looked at Zhong Xian in astonishment, and he said urgently, "You play ...... Ignore me. "The boy's hair was long and covered his eyes. Zhong Xian pulled his hair away, revealing beautiful eyes, and looked at him excitedly like stars.
Zhong Xian was stunned for a moment: "It's not dumb. Is it not polite? Don't you know that you have to say hello when you see the teacher?"
The boy looked at him quizzically. "You're not as old as me......"
Zhong Xian continued to teach him: "You are either dumb or stupid, what is your name? He stopped talking...... What, no name?
If you don't have a name, I'll give you one. I just watched a movie with a line that says Anton is the dumbest man in the world. Perfect for you. How about this is your name? YOU CAN CALL ME MR. NICKY. BECAUSE THERE IS ANOTHER LINE IN THE MOVIE - NICKY IS THE MOST HANDSOME PERSON IN THE WORLD. TELL ME NOW, MR. NICKY IS THE MOST HANDSOME, AND ANTON IS THE STUPIDEST. Say it again. ”
"It's not your name."
"Do you know this is a stage name? You're the bad guy. If you don't learn guitar from me, I won't get paid. If your parents don't give me money, I'll run for nothing. It's better to beat you up. Zhong Xian waved his fist. You don't learn. ”
The boy looked at Zhong Xian and slowly stood up, half a head taller than Zhong Xian, Zhong Xian took a step back, "Wow, spare your life." ”
The boy ignored him and sat down again, this time not facing the wall, but staring intently at the bellstrings.
Zhong Xian obediently sat back on the soft stool: "Even if I sit here for two hours, you have to pay for it." ”
"Just sit and ......"
"You're really stupid." Bell String scoffed.
"Sing a song."
"You're here to sing? Unless you add money. ”
“…… Are you willing to do anything as long as you are given money?"
Zhong Xian crossed his hands indifferently: "Although it seems bad, I do." It depends on how much you're willing to give. ”
"How much do you want." The boy pulled out a stack of money from his pocket. Zhong Xian's eyes gradually widened, he had never seen so much cash at one time.
His expression became very obedient.
"How much is this...... What do you want me to do?"
……
The bell string woke up. He looked at Deng Yi in front of him in a daze. The latter was looking at him with a gloomy expression.
Under Zhong Xian's puzzled gaze, Deng Yi shook his head slightly: "I can't see your memory, so don't expect me to give you an answer." Now, let's try the second point in time - the first year of college ......"
"We met for the first time. What do you want me to do?" Zhong Xian was unwilling to let the first memory be interrupted here.
"You're going to find your memories...... It seems that it is going well, and you will slowly remember. ”
……
The bell string is hypnotized again. This time it went well, and he quickly returned to the playground of his freshman year of college.
The sun was so strong on the day of the entrance ceremony that Zhong Xian sweated on the top of his head, and suddenly he fell down with a wave of dizziness. There was a scream all around. Someone picked him up.
He woke up in a hospital bed. I saw a boy with a melancholy face and a pale face.
"You saved me? What department are you from, and what is your name?...... Thank you. ”
A week later, Zhong Xian made an appointment with a life-saver on the playground.
"I don't know how to thank you. The hospitalization fee is all paid by you. I don't have any money right now. I will definitely pay you back in the future. This semester is definitely still there. Zhong Xian is full of gratitude for the first friend he met when he entered college.
The boy's melancholy seems to be innate: "Did you know that you had a head injury?"
"Are you saying I passed out and broke my head?" Zhong Xin touched the back of his head. "I don't feel anything anymore. I actually have a little doubt, I always think you are so familiar? Last time you said your name was Anton?"
"Hmm...... There is a movie that says that Anton is the dumbest person in the world. ”
Zhong Xian laughed: "Hahaha...... Excuse me. Not to laugh at you. Who would say they are the most stupid...... Cough. Besides, you're so handsome. ”
"I heard you're a guitar expert. I want to start a band. Are you interested?"
Zhong Xian almost jumped up with excitement: "Really, I'm thinking about starting a band." We were all in agreement! It's so rare! Dude, how about we be best friends in the future? Do you promise! Oops, I'm so happy, my head hurts! Zhong Xian hugged his head.
"I'm not proficient in musical instruments, and I'm ...... I can help your band. Belch...... I still have some spare money, so I'll give it to you first. Count me in as an investment. ”
Zhong Xian raised his head and looked at the person standing in front of him. "Ahh …… I still owe you money. Besides, it's not enough money...... Hehe, it's okay, I'll figure out the rest. If your parents are rich......"
"My father stopped giving me a penny two years ago......"
Zhong Xian grabbed the other party's arm: "It's okay. Let's figure out a way together, let's just start a business, dominate the shopping mall, and conquer the world together. Hahaha, I will definitely become a rich man in the future, buy the best sports car, and soak the most beautiful girl. ”
“…… Travel the world and end up living by the sea. ”
"Of course." Zhong Xian scratched his hair: "Then you have to have money first, right?" ”
-
Bell String awakens from a second memory. This time he was calm. He looked at Deng Yi and slowly leaned into the latter's arms. He wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.
"Look at the third memory point." Deng Yi said slowly. "A year ago, that afternoon, you received a call from Xiao Zhu's number...... Relax, you'll be reminded of the contents of that call......"
Zhong Xian stared into Deng Yi's eyes, and the evenly swaying rhythm was like a spell in his eyes.
There are a lot of scenes, mixed together, that jump out to stop him. He heard some voices – 'If you think about it......'...... It's the end times. ’
He went back to a year ago-
That afternoon, it was raining profusely. He was driving and seemed to have just left somewhere. His phone rang, he pressed it frustratedly, and after a while, it rang again. He stared at his phone, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he picked it up.
"Zhong, what should I do?" Dake's voice came from the other end of the phone. "I didn't lose his phone. Wallets, documents, and burned. ”
"Why are you calling me from his phone?"
"I'm going to destroy my phone in a moment. However, do you think you should keep it for two days and see if anyone will contact him? ”
"It's a big deal. Who cares about this kind of. ”
