Chapter 289: Disappearing Nostalgia
Chapter 289: Disappearing Nostalgia
There are countless dangerous occupations in the world, but there is one dangerous occupation that has a high mortality rate among all occupations, and the slightest carelessness can be a broken bone. In general, we call this profession "lovers...... Of course, the story we are going to tell today is not this, but the only high-risk occupations that can be placed alongside it.
"Star Chasing".
What is "star chasing"? It's very simple, it's a star-chaser. I want to know everything about the star I like, even if the other party just goes out to have a meal with friends. Because of this, there is such a profession as "paparazzi" in the world. They don't care whether the stars they chase are disgusted with this kind of life, because they are just a group of innocent people.
Innocence has changed.
Xiong Lin is not tall, and her figure is flat, like the Male-Gobi steppe, and she can't see any ups and downs. If she was good-looking, it would be fine, but she still looks like her surname. Well, even if you're a bear, then your personality is a little gentler, but her personality is not much better. Bitter, narrow-minded, and lazy...... Any derogatory word you can think of can shine through her.
Her family is ordinary. My father was originally a small official in a state-owned enterprise, but he was blamed by the people above because of his upright personality, and he was miserably recruited in the wave of layoffs. With his family's meager savings, he opened a hardware store, which was the source of livelihood for his family of four. Later, her brother took a well-paid job, and the family's situation was alleviated.
When it comes to Xiong Lin, we have to mention her younger brother. Xiong Ming is as unattractive as him, but God has given him a mind far beyond ordinary people. Xiong Lin had the knowledge that would take him an hour to grasp, and he could understand it at a glance. In less than four years, he completed everything from elementary school to high school on his own, and at the age of sixteen he was taken away by a domestic research institute.
And she? At the age of sixteen, he failed the high school entrance examination and had to go to one of the worst high schools in the city. When she was a child, she was also a studious child, but Xiong Ming stopped in front of her like a mountain, making her breathless. In this way, she began to indulge herself, and only took pleasure in chasing stars every day. At the beginning, her family couldn't give her the star magazines and celebrity merchandise she wanted, so she stole money from her family to buy them. When her mother took Xiong Ming's salary in the name of "give me all the salary, I will help you save for marrying a daughter-in-law", she didn't need to worry about stealing money and being scolded.
The love of the whole family is focused on her alone, but she is never satisfied.
Who let there is a genius brother in front.
She hates Xiong Ming.
The relationship between the siblings is getting more and more estranged, who makes that guy always say with an excited face what "DNA", the mysteries of the human body, and other tools that she can't understand. You tell him about those celebrities, but he looks at you with a stupid eye, and says something like, "It's all a tool made of carbohydrate mixture, is there a need for that?" ”。
Is there a younger brother in the world who talks to his sister like this?
Therefore, she often beats Xiong Ming. At the earliest, Xiong Ming would cry and complain to his mother, but his mother beat him up again. Since then, no matter how much he has been wronged, he will only hide it in his heart and never tell anyone. He grew weaker and weaker, and finally couldn't even talk to strangers.
Xiong Lin? She was laughing.
This is the price of disobeying my sister, how can you be genius, and you are not just a product that was beaten by me
In high school, Xiong Lin became more and more enthusiastic about the career of "chasing stars", and sometimes even had the idea of recommending pillows to those celebrities. Yes, you read that right, the stars here are not "some", but "some". When she was a child, she only chased one star, and when she grew up, she spread out her "mind", and everything that was handsome was within her hunting scale.
As a normal girl, even if she is similar to a scumbag, she also hopes to have friends and lovers. The former basically had nothing to do with her, because the girls in the same class began to stay away from her after less than ten days of getting along, just like in junior high school. Is the latter...... She once wrote a love letter to a junior boy in the same school who looked like a movie star, but the other party was so scared that she didn't dare to go to school for two or three days.
She thought that this kind of life would never change again in her life.
Everything changed on Xiong Lin's twentieth birthday.
"It's time for that magazine to arrive today. MB's salesperson is kind to others, and she doesn't like to take care of me, and when I have the opportunity, she will splash her with sulfuric acid" Xiong Lin scolded and muttered to herself, directly treating the same table as air. Of course, unless her table mates encounter a situation where they can't speak, they definitely don't want to say a word to this thing. Naturally, the small act of passing notes in class in ordinary schools will not occur to the two of them.
"The Time Sea Marker has reached the maximum allowable scale of living beings, the mental power index has reached the minimum allowable scale, and the phase matching meets all the standards."
"Ability Awakening"
"Current Rank: Lv5 Superpower (Semi-On)"
"Available Rank: Lv1 Low Ability"
"Ability: Void - No one can know that you exist, because you no longer have a sense of existence. Maybe someone will subconsciously know that you are the number one, but they will never remember any information about you. Even if you are standing in front of the other person's eyes, he may not be aware of you. You can jump in front of his eyes, self in front of his eyes, or even force x him, whatever you like.
The limitations of this ability are unknown, so please explore them by themselves.
The initial level of this ability is lv5 superpower, but the passage of time does not meet the standard, so this ability temporarily shares the same limit with the level of lv1 low-ability.
Lv1 Low Ability Limit: Time. Every twenty-four hours, the ability can only use this ability for twelve hours.
This restriction will disappear if the time passage reaches the standard and the ability is restored to lv5 superpower. ”
Xiong Lin was stunned fiercely, completely confused.
"What the hell is this?"
No one answered her.
"Forget it, I have to change seats today. Hehe, the same table is about to change from ugly to handsome, eye-catching" Xiong Lin shook his head and threw these inexplicable tools out of his mind. She swiped the tools of her fellow table to the floor, regardless of whether the other person was still sitting there or not. Don't look at her thin and small body, in fact, her strength is about the same as her surname. On the third day of school, a girl who didn't like her found a group of thugs to teach her a lesson, but she was beaten down by herself. Since then, Xiong Lin's reputation has spread throughout the school.
"Huh? How did I get all my books gone? "Her table mate is actually quite good-looking, and compared to her, she is even more beautiful.
"What's the matter, dissatisfied?" Xiong Lin glanced at the table and said in an unkind tone.
The man looked as if he hadn't heard anything, still with that puzzled face.
"Grass, the old lady is talking to you," Xiong Lin pushed the table hard and shouted arrogantly.
"It hurts so much, why am I so careless, I can fall off the stool." The girl said with a bitter face.
Next to her, a friend of hers helped her up and said with a smile, "You, try to put a nail on the stool next time." ”
The girl said dissatisfiedly: "Then do you want my ass anymore?" ”
Xiong Lin saw that the two of them didn't even look at her, so she couldn't help but get angry, picked up a stool and smashed it on their heads.
"Bang"
With a loud bang, both of them fell to the ground at the same time, blood pouring profusely.
"Grass, let you ignore me" Xiong Lin spat without the slightest guilt in her heart.
The tool of guilt was replaced by excitement as early as the second time he bullied Xiong Ming.
Because it was morning, there was no one in the class but the three of them. Those two students who are still motivated in the class, but their qualifications are not good, and they can't compare to those top students no matter how they learn. But they never left behind, because the national war in their junior year of high school was about their future. As for Xiong Lin...... She came to school to read novels.
Xiong Lin sat on the stool calmly, not even looking at the person lying on the ground.
After a while, students began to arrive. Seeing the unconscious two people with blood on their heads, they screamed. There were six gods without masters, and there were clever people who went to call teachers, and it didn't take long for the parents of the students to come with the ambulance. This incident even alarmed the school leaders, knowing that it is not a trivial matter to kill someone in the school.
During this period, no one took a look at Xiong Lin.
The first class was not attended, and the class teacher announced the results in the second period.
The two suffered only a mild concussion and were not life-threatening.
Cause...... I fell on my own.
In the first class, Xiong Lin had been spending time in uneasiness, and even the star magazines were just spread out on the table. Not for the two who were hurt by her, but for the fear of being expelled from school. She didn't know why she was scared, and she didn't want to go to school after the high school entrance examination. If it weren't for her mother's insistence on begging her, I'm afraid she would be reading a novel in the comfort of her home right now.
When she heard her homeroom teacher say the almost impossible result, she almost thought she had misheard.
How is it possible, you will fall like that if you fall yourself?
However, the students in the same class immediately accepted the result.
No one doubted Xiong Lin.
"What the hell is going on?" Xiong Lin said in horror, her voice not suppressed at all.
She was scared.
No one...... Look at her.
"No one knows you exist." Suddenly, memories that had long been left behind came to mind.
Isn't that exactly what we're looking for?
The fear receded, and the ecstasy filled the heart in an instant.
"MD, no one can know me when I'm rich, so I can't do anything? Grass, the old lady will go to the hospital to find sulfuric acid" Xiong Lin stood up suddenly, and shouted without any scruples. The first thing that came to her mind in surprise was not anything else, but to go and splash the salesman's face with sulfuric acid.
She shoved the magazines into her bag haphazardly and ran straight out of the classroom door.
In the quiet classroom, only the teacher's voice echoed.
The sulfuric acid tool was actually not difficult to find, and the shame did not cause much of a sensation. Everything she did was attributed to others, and it seemed that even the world was on her side. She swaggered away the magazine because of the salesperson's fault; She casually pulled out someone else's wallet, and the man thought she had accidentally lost it.
"Grass, it's so cool today"
However, not everything is as good as it seems.
"Dad, Mom, I also earned money today" After school, she came home happily and threw the banknote in her hand on the table.
"You said you're a big boss, why are you throwing money around?" Xiong Lin's mother complained.
The object was not her, but her father.
"Got it." The old bear waved his hand impatiently.
Xiong Lin was stunned.
"Mom, Dad?"
No response.
Ben wouldn't have reacted because they only had one child.
"Even my parents don't remember me." Xiong Lin sat on the stool dejectedly, a little relieved.
"Forget it, no one will be nagging in my ear anymore, isn't that nice?"
She didn't go out again, but sat quietly at the dinner table where she used to sit.
On the table, there are three pairs of dishes and chopsticks.
Meals are also served for three people.
And the conversation, there are only two people.
Xiong Lin ate quietly without saying a word.
The clock of the old-fashioned clockwork bell rang at half-past six.
"Xiao Lin, how is the school today?" Mother Bear asked suddenly.
"Ahh Xiong Lin first subconsciously responded, and then shouted in surprise as if he had reacted to something.
"Don't be surprised, you kid." The old bear said impatiently, but the chopsticks kept putting vegetables into his daughter's bowl.
Xiong Lin had only one thought in her mind.
"Damn, that useful tool won't be gone."
As it turned out, she just didn't remember the limitations of her abilities for a while.
As time passed, Xiong Lin became more and more unscrupulous. Relying on her ability to do a bento, she has done a lot of things. It's like taking some money from a cash truck or something, even though she hasn't used it since she awakened her abilities; It's like taking advantage of a certain male singer to hold a concert here and taking advantage of the night to force the other party or something, but the order of the next night made her extremely disappointed, because the male movie star didn't even hold on for a minute and wilted.
Within twelve hours of her abilities taking effect, she did everything she wanted to do. No one would doubt her, because there was no such person as "Xiong Lin" in the world in those twelve hours. Sometimes, though, she makes small mistakes, such as taking the fruit from the stall when she doesn't notice the loss of her abilities.
2010 was the second major turning point in her life.
On that day, she wandered the streets as usual, molesting a handsome man. It was on that day that she saw the true destiny in her life. At first, she just thought that the man was extremely handsome, much more handsome than those little movie stars. Under the control of the special skill "Fever" added to the profession of star chasing, she stepped forward and touched the man's face.
That's when it all began.
"This, this feeling...... Am I in love with him? Xiong Lin touched her red and hot face, and felt her heart beat like a deer. She has never experienced this feeling, not even when she is with the male movie star XXOO who she thinks she admires. She always thought she was in love with those male movie stars, but now she realized that it was not love at all.
That's it.
"What kind of girl does she like? Would you like me like this? Probably not, I'm so ugly, who would like me. And my fucking personality, it's no wonder that someone likes it. Ah, I'm swearing again. She smiled wryly and lowered her hand. Growing up, she has never had even the slightest inferiority complex about her appearance and character, because she doesn't care at all.
"That's someone you didn't find who knew how to appreciate you." The man grabbed Xiong Lin's hand and smiled charmingly.
Xiong Lin was stunned for a moment.
"Can you see me?"
"I only see people who deserve to be admired."
Xiong Lin's heart was beating so fast that she was subconsciously afraid that she would jump out of her chest.
He, he can see me
This person is definitely my true destiny
"My name is Chu Chongyang, what about you?"
"Bear, Bear Lin......"
Xiong Lin...... Very nice name. Chu Chongyang nodded thoughtfully and exclaimed.
"Do you have a younger brother named Xiong Ming?"
As soon as she heard Xiong Ming's name, Xiong Lin immediately lowered her face.
"There's one, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'm just lamenting the wonder of blood."
"Huh?" Xiong Lin frowned and looked at him suspiciously.
"I didn't expect that stupid pig-like person to have such a connotative sister as you, isn't it wonderful that the tool of bloodline is not amazing?".
Xiong Lin lowered her head shyly: "I, I'm not as clever as him." ”
"No, you misunderstood what I meant. That person has no interests other than a slightly better brain, unlike you. What's the use of having a good brain? It's not just a small researcher under me. If you don't agree, you will be my most important person, the one above him. Chu Chongyang narrowed his eyes and smiled very sunnyly.
"So, would you like to be with me?"
Xiong Lin's heart pounded.
"Really, really?". Her thinking seemed to be short-circuited, and she only had the man named Chu Chongyang in her eyes.
Is this a confession?
This...... Is it what it feels like to be in love?
"As long as you keep your head down."
Xiong Lin bowed his head without hesitation.
This is a fateful meeting, a life-changing meeting.
Because, that day, she finally knew what it was like to be in love.
After that encounter, Xiong Lin accompanied Chu Chongyang back to a heavily guarded place. There, she met some people who were equally capable. But those people's abilities can't be compared to her at all, who makes the world have no one like her. As Chu Chongyang said, her status in the institute is much higher than Xiong Ming.
Occasionally, she can also see her younger brother who is tired of being with Zhou Zhou. Immersed in love, she didn't do much, just floated past as a victor.
It doesn't matter if no one can see her, because it's good that Chu Chongyang can see her.
It doesn't matter if no one knows about her, because she is just Chu Chongyang's alone.
Sometimes, she suffers for her past self. At that time, she didn't care about anything and hurt too many people for no reason. Thinking about it now, Xiong Lin at that time made her feel scared. She remorseed and blamed herself for this, but what had happened could not be undone in any way. The big mistake has been made, but what should she use to make up for it?
Chu Chongyang only said one word to her.
"You have me now."
Yes, as long as I have my lover, I am not afraid of anything
For Xiong Lin now, Chu Chongyang is everything to her, and as long as she can be by his side, it is already the happiest thing.
As long as that's it, it's all right.
That day, Chu Chongyang, who had just finished sex with Xiong Lin, held her in his arms and suddenly said, "Xiao Lin, do you hate your brother?" ”。
Xiong Lin lay on that warm chest with a happy face, and said with a smile: "Don't hate it." ”
Because of him, I can meet you.
"But I hate him." Chu Chongyang sighed and said with a heavy heart.
Xiong Lin was stunned for a moment.
"Huh? How could you hate him? ”
"Because of him, you will always have such low self-esteem." The man bit his lip, tears glistening in the corners of his eyes.
Xiong Lin laughed and said, "Low self-esteem? I've never been ......."
I, really haven't I ever had low self-esteem?
"I know, I know it. Because of him, you will leave your studies behind. Because of him, you will pamper yourself. He's very clever, yes, but he has never hidden this cleverness in front of you, he never thought about the feelings of others, let alone what you would think of you as her sister, of course, you will think about not being compared to your brother, right? But what about him? Just show off"
Xiong Lin trembled.
"What do people say when they talk about you?" Ah, that's Xiong Ming's sister, that genius Xiong Ming. 'What about you?' You're just a foil to him. He enjoys the praise of others, but leaves you alone to bear the pain that you shouldn't bear, you can only hide under the covers and cry, you can only indulge yourself."
"Don't talk about it......"
"Because of him, you have low self-esteem and have left your studies behind. You know, you'll never be able to beat him in this regard. But what? You still go to school subconsciously, why is that? It's very simple, you still want to prove yourself that you hurt him because you have low self-esteem. At that time, were you really laughing? No, your heart is crying"
"Say no more"
"No, I want to say that it is because I love you that I can't watch you suffer, but that person is alone, I don't care if you are a brother or sister, I must take revenge on him" Chu Chongyang shouted excitedly, as if the person who had been suffering was not Xiong Lin, but him.
"You, what are you going to do?" Xiong Lin's thoughts went blank and asked subconsciously.
"I'm going to let him try the crying you had at the beginning, wasn't he smart? I'm smarter than him, doesn't he have a beautiful fiancée? Then I will destroy the lost feelings, only if he is also immersed in pain, can my heart feel a little better, Xiao Lin, don't meddle in this matter, let me bear all the sins alone."
Xiong Lin clenched her teeth.
That's right, I've been having low self-esteem.
Do I really want to pamper myself? I really don't want to be a good student and get into a good university?
No, I think
But because of him, I couldn't do anything
What if I get into the best university? Will my parents be happy with my acceptance letter? When others mention me, they don't add his name, and when others mention our family, they don't say "Oh, it's the bear family who has a great genius?"
Nothing will change......
It's all his fault
He was the one who changed my life, all because of him
Why not take revenge on him?
"Chongyang, this is my business, I ......"
"No, we are one."
That night, no one slept.
The next day, Chu Chongyang left Zhou Zhou in the name of overtime.
What happened next?
Xiong Lin, who used the ability, held down that person's fiancée to the death, and let her lover gallop across her. That woman's resistance was very fierce, but in front of Xiong Lin, there was nothing to say. She also wanted to bite her tongue and kill herself, which really made Xiong Lin spend a lot of time. Fortunately, Chu Chongyang was very well prepared, and that woman didn't even have the strength to speak. At Chu Chongyang's signal, Xiong Lin shouted with a voice changer, which he said was also part of the revenge plan.
It didn't take long for Xiong Ming to come.
Looking at her brother's disintegrated appearance, Xiong Lin's heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge.
Aren't you making me miserable?
Then I will make you just as miserable
But......
Do I really want to do this?
He, he's obviously my younger brother......
No, he never thought about my feelings, and he deserved it
Deserved
He deserves it......
When his younger brother lost his soul and was dragged away, Xiong Lin sat down in a chair and muttered, "Chongyang, you say ...... Are we doing something wrong? ”
Chu Chongyang sat on the chair with a comfortable face: "This is very interesting, isn't it?" ”。
Xiong Lin was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, what do you mean?"
"yes, how interesting it is to watch my sister help me force my brother's fiancée."
Xiong Lin looked at him in disbelief.
"Do you really think I love you? No, it's just the price you need to pay to enjoy the wonderfulness of the moment. Seriously, you're so ugly that every time I/have sex with you makes me feel as bad as eating flies. But it's all worth it, because I've enjoyed it. ”
"Fake, fake ......"
"That's right, it's all fake. My love for you is fake, and your love for me is fake. To put it bluntly, as long as you control the hormones excreted by the body, it is not difficult at all. Hehe, I enjoy the face of your face now. Chu Chongyang narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.
Just like before.
"Why"
"I like it."
A faint sentence completely shattered the last hope in Xiong Lin's heart.
All things are false.
Everything that should be nostalgic......
It's all fake
Nostalgia?
Do I have anything to be nostalgic for?
Even my brother has hurt me, what can I be nostalgic for
I have no love in my life.
