reason
"You're running away from your heart."
Lu Jiuchuan woke up in a hazy dream of the last words that his boss said to him when he was in Thailand half a year ago. Due to the jet lag, he didn't sleep very well, so when he wanted to continue sleeping, he found it a little difficult.
He unlocked his phone and looked at the time: 2:30 a.m.
Lu Jiuchuan got up and poured a cup of tea, looking at the spotless coaster, he clicked on the chat box that he hadn't contacted for a whole year, and the last chat record was still on the day the plane took off, and the sentence "Count me begging you".
"Why do you want to hurt me?" Lu Jiuchuan typed in these five words and clicked send.
Many people have said that don't make any decision when you're alone, especially when it's dark, because that's probably the product of cranky thinking.
"Ding Dong~" The phone screen lit up. 2:35 a.m.
"I'm sorry."
"Why?"
"Let's meet tonight, is that okay? The last side. ”
Lu Jiuchuan pondered for a long time and replied, "Where? ”
The other party did not respond for a long time. Until the phone screen lights up again. 2:50 a.m.
"Under the big tree at the entrance of the orphanage."
Lu Jiuchuan no longer replied, the phone automatically locked the screen for 1 minute, and the screen went black.
Insomnia is the wandering of the soul on the neck, and it is also the final payment left by impetuousness in the early morning. Those who are so entangled in those hearts that they can't sleep are two souls who are wandering at the same time.
For the first time in a year, he greeted the sunshine of the motherland, although it was still cold and windy, but Lu Jiuchuan felt unprecedented warmth. When he suddenly appeared in Lin Liqiong's company, Lin Liqiong, who was talking, completely ignored the eyes of the whole company and hugged her most precious son tightly.
"Mom, so many people are watching." Lu Jiuchuan said with some embarrassment.
"You're my son, and it's okay!" Although Lin Liqiong said so, she had already hugged Lu Jiuchuan and walked towards her office.
"Well......" Lin Liqiong looked Lu Jiuchuan up and down, her eyes were full of satisfaction, and said, "The body looks like it is recovering well, even if it comes back suddenly, I won't say anything to my mother!" ”
"My visa has expired!" Lu Jiuchuan joked that in fact, after he left, he was still very worried about the safety of his family, and made video calls with his mother from time to time to confirm that his family had not been violated by the murderer. But the murderer's target is obviously only the manuscript, and the manuscript is already in their hands, so there is no reason to continue.
"Then go ahead!" While Lin Liqiong spoke, she made a gesture of shaking her hand back, showing the domineering of a strong woman.
"Just kidding, Mom, but I learned a lot of knowledge and life philosophy outside this time, so I came back this time because I didn't want to run away anymore. I'd like to get some things straight. Lu Jiuchuan, who was still joking just now, instantly became serious and serious.
When Lin Liqiong heard that Lu Jiuchuan still wanted to check, her face turned dark, she sat on the boss's chair, looked at Lu Jiuchuan with dissatisfaction, and said, "Absolutely not!" ”
"Mom, I'll be measured."
"That's what you said last time you took the manuscript, say no, no!" Lin Liqiong is still resolutely opposed.
"If I hadn't taken it last time, and after I was killed, I found that there was no manuscript in the house, maybe you would be the next victim!" Lu Jiuchuan said indignantly. He felt that he was blocking a knife for his mother, but his mother didn't appreciate it.
"I just can't say no! I'd rather you're abroad forever than get you in trouble when you come back! ”
"Mom, if I don't find out about this, this thing is equivalent to a time bomb, a time bomb tied to our whole family! We don't know how many countdowns are left, but one day, it's going to explode! Lu Jiuchuan expressed his concerns, if this matter is not resolved, he will always have a feeling of thorns in his back in Linxin City.
Since her son graduated from college, Lin Liqiong feels that she is becoming more and more unable to persuade him. She also knows that people's growth is not 100% useful if they are controlled by words, just like adults obviously teach children from an early age that they must not hurt others, but there are always some children who will continue to hurt others when they grow up.
Lin Liqiong knew that she couldn't stop her son, so she could only reluctantly compromise and said, "Go ahead, but don't expose yourself to danger, if there is a next time, I will send you out no matter what, and never come back!" ”
"There won't be a next time." Lu Jiuchuan said with an oath.
……
At the entrance of the orphanage is a small park, and there is a flower bed a few steps away from the park, and the flower beds are planted with trees, and the leaves are shivering in the cold wind, and they seem to be withering at any time.
Last Christmas, Lu Jiuchuan was under a certain tree and waited for Leng Qian all night. And at this time, when he came to the tree, Leng Qian, dressed in red, wearing a thick black turtleneck sweater, was waiting for his arrival in the night.
Just as the two of them wanted to see each other speechlessly, a leaf was drawn between them by the cold wind, and under the light of the street lamp, the shadow of the leaf flickered and shortened, as if to suggest that the two of them hurriedly broke this is not enough to be peaceful.
"Last year, I was there, watching you all night." Leng Qian pointed to the opposite wall.
"So what?" Lu Jiuchuan replied coldly.
He was surprised, surprised, and relieved, but that was not what he wanted to hear.
"I'm sorry about Lulu and about you." Leng Qian looked sideways at the leaves falling to the ground and said.
"Why?" Lu Jiuchuan asked.
"For the second manuscript. I told you I needed it, and you lied to me that you never heard of this manuscript existing, but it's in your safe. Leng Qian replied without hesitation, which was tantamount to acquiescing that she did those things.
"Do you know that a few days after the vaccine, I went back to my mother's house and had a meal with her, so that I could talk about it before I got the manuscript back." Lu Jiuchuan paused, frowned, and said gloomily, "Just to bring it to you." But you, since Lulu got vaccinated, it's gone, how can I give it to you! ”
When Leng Qian heard Lu Jiuchuan's words, her steps seemed to be a little unsteady, and she took a step back. But she didn't respond verbally.
"In fact, as long as you come once, just once, you can get the manuscript, Lulu will not die, it can still be saved!" Lu Jiuchuan said Lulu, looked at the girl in front of him, and roared.
"I'm sorry, I don't know, I really don't." Leng Qian's eyes began to flow with tears, and it seemed that she was about to burst the embankment.
"Yes, you don't know. You don't know how hard I waited for your reply when I had a fever, but I was afraid that I would fall asleep and miss your reply, so I kept forcing myself to wake up! You don't know how much I wanted you to really reply to me when I asked you not to reply to my text messages before I went abroad, even if it was a punctuation mark! Don't you know, when I heard that Lulu was disposed of as a source of radiation contamination, I still didn't believe that you did it! You wouldn't know how happy I was when you told me you were going to talk about Christmas together, even if you later insisted that you were spending time with Lulu and the kids, I felt so happy! But you'll never know how desperate I was and how much I hate you now! Lu Jiuchuan's eyes were red, and he said a bunch of words buried deep in his heart in one breath.
Leng Qian thought that she had shed all her tears in her entire childhood, but she didn't know why when she heard this boy say that he hated her today, the tears would fall like pear blossoms and rain.
However, he deserves to hate himself.
"The first day I came back, I hated even more, why did you come to my house and keep it spotless." After speaking, a big boy also cried, hating Leng Qian or not, Lu Jiuchuan actually knew very well in his heart.
After sobbing for a long time, both sides gradually calmed down. Leng Qian said: "I'm sorry, I just want a chance to go back to the past. ”
"Yes, reality is really not worth nostalgia for."
"Ask yourself, if you were given a chance like this, would you like to go back?" Leng Qian raised her head, looked into Lu Jiuchuan's eyes, and asked.
"I want to go back, but I don't want to go back and change anything. I'm afraid that going back and changing things a little bit will probably bring more disasters to the present. I already have a lot of people I care about, and changing the past doesn't necessarily make the present better, it may make the people I care about worse! Lu Jiuchuan looked at Leng Qian's eyes, and said these words in the midst of the four eyes.
"But can I get worse? All I have to do is go back and stop that explosion, and I'll have everything, you know, Jiuchuan. Leng Qian was like a wronged little fairy at this time, shouting to return to the beautiful kingdom of heaven.
"If you go back in time, you can't change anything, you will be a part of history, and history will not be changed." Lu Jiuchuan said.
"Qi Yuan said that the second manuscript can do it."
"What else did he say to you!?" Lu Jiuchuan became excited, wanted to pull Leng Qian's arm, and consciously put down his hand.
He has had this habit since he was a child.
"When I told Qi Yuan that a second manuscript existed, he was surprised and told me that as long as I gave him the second manuscript, he would be able to fulfill one of my wishes. I also asked him why he needed a second manuscript when the time machine had already been developed. He said that with the second manuscript, within a year, he would have the power to change history! Leng Qian didn't want to hide anything anymore, so she told Lu Jiuchuan everything.
"So, you're going to join forces with others to kill me?" Lu Jiuchuan was very cold, and he didn't even seem to have the strength to speak.
"As long as I go back, I can change everything, you won't die, and Lulu won't die!" After Leng Qian finished speaking, she glanced at Lu Jiuchuan, feeling as worried as a kitten who had done something bad.
"Hehe, if Qi Yuan is lying to you, I will die unjustly. If Qi Yuan didn't lie to you, would that 'me' still be me? Crazy, you're all crazy! This is the last side, you say, goodbye! Lu Jiuchuan left without looking back, he was very disappointed, and felt in his heart that this woman was crazy.
Leng Qian froze in place, dazed and at a loss.
