Chapter 20: The Deceased
After returning from the station, Liang Yun and Chen Dao sat side by side on the two-seater sofa in the living room, eating homemade cookies brought by Liang's mother while discussing the "surprise attack" of Liang's father and Liang's mother.
"My mom is quite happy with you, my dad's words ......"
Before Liang Yun finished speaking, Chen Dao, who was holding her shoulder, had already taken over the conversation with a smile: "I think my uncle is also more satisfied with me." ”
Liang Yun tilted her head to look at her, sighed, and smiled: "Stinky fart." ”
"It's not a stinky fart, it's confidence." Chen Dao smiled, "Now that I have met my future father-in-law and mother-in-law, when will you go home with me to meet your future in-laws?" ”
Liang Yun slapped him on the thigh: "It's as if I'm already married to you." ”
"Plan ahead, you'll see you sooner or later anyway."
Liang Yun found that on this topic, he was still not as cheeky as Chen Daohou, and he was a little shy, so he turned to say: "If my mother hadn't mentioned it today, I would have almost forgotten, I am three years older than you, why do you still scream Xiao Yun Xiao Yun!" I'm going to call my sister! It's called Sister Yun! ”
As he spoke, Liang Yun raised his hand to pinch Chen Dao's cheek and pulled him towards him.
"How can couples talk about age, if you want to talk about mental age, don't look at me three years younger than you, my mental age may be more than 30 years older than you, in fact, I can be your uncle, maybe you have to call me Uncle Dao! Come, Xiao Yunyun, Uncle Dao loves you. ”
"I have to tear your mouth today to see how it grows, why didn't I find out that you can talk so much when I first met you, and Uncle Dao ......"
"What do you mean by not finding out, have you forgotten that the day you first met, you were amused by me to laugh and cry several times? And the time we ate noodles together later, you laughed so much that the noodles came out of your nostrils......"
"Nope! No noodles coming out of the nostrils! ”
"Yes, yes, I even took a video."
"Ahhh Chen Dao, why are you so annoying! ”
The two laughed and laughed, played a group, and soon went to wash up and go to bed.
This night, Chen Dao slept very soundly.
……
After meeting Liang Yun's parents, basically getting the approval of the old couple, and booking a summer vacation with Liang Yun to live at his house for a period of time, Chen Dao felt a lot more relaxed and cheerful.
He felt that after dating Liang Yun, he had slowly gotten rid of the negative impact of the otherworldly experience on his spirit and began to find a normal rhythm of life.
He has even begun to imagine the future of marrying Liang Yun, having children, running a family together, and living together.
On this day, Chen Dao had no classes in the afternoon, and after Liang Yun finished eating at noon and sent her back to school, he was about to go back to their rented house to clean up, and then go to find a place to read. He has already begun to plan his career options after graduation and integrate the internship in his senior year, so as to improve his skills and knowledge system according to his needs, and find ways to enrich his resume.
He believed that he could survive in the cruel environment of the other world for more than thirty years, and he wouldn't be too bad in this world—and he didn't need to really mix up with the human world, or make a lot of money and make a career. Just like what he said to Liang's father, on the premise of meeting certain basic material conditions, taking better care of Liang Yun and living a good life for two people is what he is pursuing.
When passing by a Shaxian snack near the school, Chen Dao's eyes suddenly stopped on the back of a person wearing "Gree Air Conditioning" overalls for a few seconds.
This kind of blue overalls printed with "XX air conditioner" and "XX electrical appliances" are not uncommon, and it is normal to see them on the road, but there is a cartoon sticker of Luffy in One Piece on the back hem of that overalls, which is relatively rare.
It's not that Chen Dao is curious about the sticker, but the "Gree Air Conditioner" overalls with Luffy's big head sticker, which he has seen in the other world before.
After they crossed over to the other world, the clothes on their bodies were all there, and they were wearing the same set as before they crossed over.
However, in the more than 30 years in the other world, Chen Dao has seen too many traversers, and he can't remember what kind of clothes most people wear, but this "Gree Air Conditioner" and "Luffy" overalls have always been impressive - because it was the dress of the first traverser he met in the other world.
Chen Dao then turned into the Shaxian snack, walked to the freezer and took out a bottle of bottled soda, and when he walked out after settling the bill, he seemed to casually say to the young man who looked to be in his early twenties, with short brown hair, wearing "Gree Air Conditioner" overalls, and was eating mixed noodles:
"Master, where is your air-conditioned shop? I've been trying to install one lately, too. ”
The young man was stunned for a moment, looked up at him in surprise, and said, "You can search the map on your mobile phone, there are many stores, you can buy any one." ”
The older master sitting opposite him hurriedly said, "Go over here, turn left at the street sign, and then walk four or five hundred meters, and there will be one." ”
"Oh, thank you." Chen Dao smiled at them and nodded.
He had actually forgotten what the first traverser he had met looked like, only the overalls, because the man had died a day later.
However, when the young man spoke, listening to the accent, he was almost sure that the air-conditioned guy in front of him was indeed the time-traveler he had met—although he was pretty sure that his hair wasn't the same color when he met him in the other world.
"This master, have we met somewhere?" Chen Dao pretended to remember something, and said to the young man.
The young man glanced up at him and frowned, "I haven't seen it." Then he continued to look down at his phone while eating noodles.
"Oh, then I guess I'm mistaken." Chen Dao smiled and walked out of Shaxian Snack while drinking soda.
According to his observations, the young man did not know him.
In other words, after dying in the Otherworld, they will not return to this world.
Chen Dao's mood was inexplicably gloomy.
When he returned to the rented house, he suddenly felt a little tired, so he didn't go out to find a place to read, but sat directly on the sofa in the living room to read.
Unconsciously, Chen Dao reclined on the sofa and fell asleep.
At half past five in the afternoon, Liang Yun returned home, and while changing her shoes at the shoe cabinet, she looked at Chen Dao, who was lying on the sofa and was asleep, and smiled: "No wonder I didn't answer the phone, I fell asleep?" Lazy pig, get up and eat......"
As soon as her words fell, Chen Dao on the sofa seemed to have been stabbed with a knife, "Ah! With a loud roar, the whole person bounced up from the sofa and rushed forward, and then because the force was too great, he directly kicked the tempered glass on the coffee table away, and the stainless steel base under it was also kicked and broken, and he himself fell to the ground.
Liang Yun was so frightened that her body trembled, and she subconsciously leaned against the wall, but when she saw Chen Dao who had fallen, as well as his bleeding calves, she immediately rushed over.
"Dao! Ah Dao! ”
Liang Yun knelt on the ground and wanted to check Chen Dao's situation first, but Chen Dao got up by himself and pulled her first: "Xiao Yun, are you okay?" Did I hurt you? ”
"You leave me alone, you sit down first, don't move, you have a lot of blood on your legs." Liang Yun said anxiously, tears rolling in her eyes, and her voice was full of crying.
