Chapter 182: The Day of Reincarnation (28) The 1124th Heaven
"Find a pen, write down the date, record the courage. I can, against the wall, let the fist rebel"
I opened my eyes to the familiar ceiling, familiar melodies and familiar singing voices in my ears. The phone next to my pillow was doing its job dutifully, and the song that was acting as an alarm kept playing, but I didn't feel like I was turning it off.
I just lay there looking at the ceiling, turning my eyes a little to look at the familiar room, and I was fully conscious, but I still didn't want to move a finger.
I stayed like this for a while, until the alarm had stopped on its own, and after a few seconds I got up from bed, but I was still sitting, still not wanting to get dressed, not wanting to start the day.
Today is the hundredth day, and since I can remember what happened on each day, today is the hundredth day.
I reached for my phone from my pillow and looked at the date on the screen — July 21, 2005. The hundredth July 21st I experienced.
Oh, not exactly, I think it's the hundredth July 21st I remember.
I mechanically took my clothes and put them on, but I didn't want to wash up, I didn't want to go to my morning exercise, I didn't want to buy breakfast, I didn't want to go over what I knew was going to happen.
It's a time reset, every day here is the same day, here, everything is constantly reincarnated, and I'm a part of it.
I unconsciously washed up, grabbed my phone and wallet, and changed my shoes at the door.
Reach out and tear off the top page of the calendar hanging by the door, revealing the page that belonged to today. I've torn the same calendar a hundred times a hundred times, and now the one in front of me I've never had a chance to tear it off.
I looked at the calendar that said "July 21st" and was silent for a long time, and finally reached out again and quickly ripped it off, and then without looking at the calendar, I just stuffed the newly ripped one into my pocket and turned to go out.
Before I went out, I glanced at the clock on the wall, and the time was already pointing to 6:15.
Probably because I spent so much time at home today, I didn't meet anyone or anything I knew this morning. Although the familiar quarrelsome old couple, the mother who blamed the child, the stray cat who was frightened by the puppy, and the aunt with the broken bag did not show up, the lack of clean eyes did not really bother me, and I still hated and hated this day.
I walked slowly and mechanically down the road, not the same path to the park that I usually take, but another one. The road leads directly to the breakfast stall.
I didn't want to do my morning workout, I didn't want to run those laps, I didn't want to see that ridiculous pair of floral pants, I didn't want to do anything but end this ridiculous day.
It was still early to arrive at the breakfast stall, and there was no aunt in the queue, no familiar people standing in front of or behind me, so I quickly bought breakfast and headed straight home.
This is not the time when I usually come back, and at this time, the man named Lu Haisheng has not yet appeared.
It's good, I don't want to see him today.
Everyone around me, whether it was the child who had just walked past me, or the man who was hurrying to go to work in front of him, each of them didn't know that they were stuck in a time reset, only me and Lu Haisheng knew.
I wish I could be like the people around me, who don't know what's going on, what kind of situation I'm in. Even now that I knew, I wanted to fool myself into telling myself that there was nothing strange here, just an ordinary, ordinary day.
But once I saw Lu Haisheng, I didn't even need him to say anything, his presence was a reminder of what a terrible nightmare I had fallen into, and I would never wake up.
Back home, my parents still haven't woken up, so I put the breakfast I bought on the table and sit at the table in a daze.
I don't know when Lu Haisheng gets downstairs every day, maybe he is now downstairs waiting for me to buy breakfast and come back, maybe he is on his way here, planning to repeat a unchanged today.
That's what he told me every day - repeat, not change, and nothing that was old until a way to reset the end time could be found.
I had to wear the same clothes, say the same things to the same people, eat the same things, walk the same roads, read the same books, watch the same movies in the same places, the same, all the same! I can't decide what I want, I can only do that particular standard and finish the same day.
Lu Haisheng, the man who appeared with Time Reset, said he was from seven years later.
Seven years from now, if I really have time after seven years, does that mean that this time reset will end sooner or later? But when will it be over?
One hundred days for a little more than three months. I've had ninety-nine identical days, and today, I don't want to do the same thing again.
I still remember the day I first found myself able to remember each day, and that day was supposed to be the third day that my memory was reset. In fact, as early as that day, Lu Haisheng said to me, he said that in fact, he didn't want me to be able to remember every day, because being able to remember every day means that I will start to feel bored and bored, and this boredom and boredom will continue to accumulate, and one day I will collapse.
I didn't think so at all, I thought it was just Lu Haisheng's unfounded worries. Isn't it just doing one thing over and over again? What's so hard about that? Since he can live like this, I don't think I have any problems with it.
And just like that, until now, I suddenly felt that I had been wrong.
I was wrong, really wrong. I can't stand such a day that doesn't change, and I can't stand such an endless reincarnation. Lu Haisheng is right, one day I will collapse, although not now, but probably not far away.
I suddenly remembered that Lu Haisheng has memories of every day here, so that means that before I can remember every day, he has spent many, many days in such repetitions? Perhaps the most outrageous thing about me was that I thought I could tolerate what he could with, and the funny thing is that now that I think about it, I don't even know how many days he spent in this cycle.
The sound of Soso coming from the room was that my parents were already up. I turned my head to look into their room, and the door opened, and the two of them came out of the room with smiles on their faces that were unaware of their situation—I envied their unawareness.
Cheer up to cope with your parents, mechanically biting on the fritters. It's weird, I can't taste the churros.
Today's breakfasts are tasteless, whether it's fritters or soy milk, no matter how much sugar I put in soy milk, they are tasteless.
The food is tasteless.
After my parents left the house, I sat at the table for a while, watching the soy milk in front of me go from steaming to cold, but I still didn't know what I should do.
It wasn't until the sound of the doorbell that I came to my senses. I was thinking about something, but now I can't remember what I was thinking.
opened the door, and the person outside the door really had no suspense at all - Lu Haisheng.
We stood in the doorway, staring at each other for a few seconds.
I looked curiously at the look on his face, and there was no expression on his face. If I have to say anything calm, calm, or calm, I hate his calm at the moment.
I'd rather he ask me something, I'd rather he reproach me than be confronted with his calm at the moment. It was as if he knew all my pain, all my stresses and burdens, and yet I had no way to refute him.
What to refute? He didn't say anything, he didn't blame me for anything. And even if he did, he had experienced what I had been through, and I couldn't even shout "You don't know anything."
In the end, he spoke first to break the silence: "Let's go, it's time for us to go to Book City." Before you go, put your clothes on, you forgot to change your clothes. ”
I didn't say or move, just looked at him for a few seconds, and then quietly turned back to my room, changed into the clothes, and followed him out the door.
Book City, lunch, buy water, go to the cinema, and then until the movie is finished, it's the same day again.
Only today, he didn't say anything other than being by my side.
The movie was about to finish, and when the lights in the screening room were back on, I would get up and walk outside, have dinner with my parents, visit the night market, buy a new wallet, get home and lie in bed, and repeat the damn day tomorrow.
The moment the lights were turned on, Lu Haisheng handed me something in front of me - it was my wallet that had fallen on the ground.
"Don't sleep when you get home, come downstairs when your parents are asleep, I'll wait for you downstairs at your house, I have something to tell you."
I took my wallet and was about to ask a question, but he had already left.
Lu Haisheng told me that the time reset will happen the moment I fall asleep, and I have tried before, if I don't sleep all the time, I can drag the time reset to 11:59:59 midnight, and then the time reset will happen, and I will wake up from the bed again.
So, every day before, after the separation in the theater, he would still follow me in the dark until I got home and fell asleep at the normal time. I've never had the experience of going out to see him again after returning home, and this is the first time he's asked to meet like this.
Lu Haisheng, what are you going to tell me?
