Volume 1 Jen Chapter 8: The Hawker and the Chengguan (8)
Although in the dream, Ziyue still maintained the most basic morality, she still felt that it was rude to step forward and tear off other people's masks like this, and was hesitating, and the suspected "Zou Zhinan" and Song Taile with masks turned their heads to look in the direction of "Zou Chuan". At that moment, Ziyue unconsciously followed Song Taile's gaze to "Zou Chuan", but what she saw was "Zou Chuan" warning them with his eyes. Ziyue clearly saw that "Zou Chuan" frowned slightly, shook his head slowly, and his movements were very small, if it weren't for this angle, it would be difficult for outsiders to find out. It's just that it seems that "Zou Chuan" also saw Ziyue in the dream, and he was inevitably surprised for a while, and turned to look at his side. Ziyue knew that at this time, the side of "Zou Chuan" was the other self who fell and was injured. Not surprisingly, "Zou Chuan" will not help himself at that time, but will still raise the camera to photograph the two people who are now beside him.
But before Ziyue could react, her hand touched the mask that the person next to her who was suspected of being "Zou Zhinan" was wearing again, and the touch at that moment was like the real world. The mask passed through her fingers, but her fingers were subjected to an external force that seemed to tear the mask. Ziyue withdrew her arm and looked at her hand, a little surprised, she couldn't tell whether it was real or illusory, whether it was everything that really happened or a fantasy in a dream. She walked towards "Zou Chuan", wanting to ask who he was warning just now, and seeing that "Zou Chuan" still didn't pick up her other self. She reached out and touched "Zou Chuan" again, as if she could feel the temperature of "Zou Chuan". The "Zou Chuan" in this dream also wanted to touch the hand of the sudden joy and slowly stretched out the other hand......
At this moment, Song Taile left with someone suspected of Zou Zhinan, and several cars followed at a gallop. Ziyue and "Zou Chuan" settled down, and when their hands were about to touch again, Liu Chang and Ziyue, who fell, started a conversation like morning, and Ziyue, who was now standing next to "Zou Chuan", was pulled away by another external force before he could touch "Zou Chuan......
"Miss Dong...... Miss Dong ......, "Ziyue's illusion collapsed again. As she fell into fear, it sounded as if someone was calling out to her, followed by a few "bosses". Ziyue woke up slowly, feeling lightheaded, and her scalp and fingers felt a little numb. Ziyue took a deep breath before turning around and hurriedly checking the photos on the computer, and there was nothing abnormal. Only then did she remember that there seemed to be someone around her.
"Miss Dong, are you alright?" Ziyue looked up and saw "Zou Chuan", that is, the real Zou Zhinan she was looking for, standing opposite her and talking to her.
"I didn't ...... It's okay! Ziyue said and wanted to get up, but somehow fell into the chair again.
"Miss Dong, you need ...... Drink a glass of water? Zou Zhinan wanted to help, but when he saw Ziyue sitting down steadily, he withdrew his hand, and just asked with simple care.
"Thank you!" Ziyue seemed to have no strength, she thought she was suffering from hypoglycemia, and took a piece of fructose from the drawer. But before she could peel off the candy wrapper, Zou Zhinan walked in with a cup of hot chocolate. The rich chocolate flavor made Ziyue put down the sugar in her hand, her face was a little pale, but she smiled sweetly.
The two sat quietly facing each other, Ziyue took a sip of hot chocolate, and seemed to regain some complexion, wanting to break the awkward tranquility.
"Why did you come back so late?" After Ziyue's eyes met Zou Zhinan, he crossed again.
"There are still some things that I haven't packed, and I forgot to take my notebook, which contains the address of the house that my friend helped me find." Zou Zhinan was very calm and kept looking at Ziyue.
Ziyue also felt that there was something wrong with the dodge of his eyes just now, and continued to ask in front of Zou Zhinan's gaze: "Yes, you returned to China on the first day, and before you had time to settle down, you started working." It was my negligence! It's better to rest the day after tomorrow, settle down, and then run the news on the weekend. ”
"Thank you, these two days of vacation are very important to me, so I won't shirk it!" Zou Zhinan's tone always reveals confidence and a sense of course.
Ziyue seemed to be a little woman who realized it later, pouted and nodded, and continued to drink hot chocolate. "Where is your new address? I'm going home too, so I might as well send you. Ziyue saw that Zou Zhinan was about to get up, so he asked again.
Zou Zhinan flipped through the phone, as if flipping through the photo, then enlarged the picture with his finger, and then chanted: "No. 58 Dong'an Road......"
"Along the bridge?" Ziyue asked in surprise.
"Along the Bridge Community!" Zou Zhinan continued to read the address, but what he was about to say was exactly the same as what Ziyue said, which was very unexpected. After Ziyue heard "No. 58 Dong'an Road", she almost said the name of the community with Zou Zhinan.
"Oh? You know that too? Zou Zhinan pretended to be a little surprised. I didn't expect this community to be quite famous, and it is said to be very close to our studio. ”
"Yes, it only takes ten minutes to drive and walk." Ziyue said, but felt a little embarrassed.
"Could it be that someone else lives there?" Zou Zhinan glanced at the empty chairs in the office, waiting for Ziyue's answer.
"Me! Just drop by, let's go together! Ziyue finished the drink in the cup and prepared to wash it. Zou Zhinan took the cup and didn't say anything, and went straight to the pantry.
Ziyue looked at Zou Zhinan's back, looked at the direction of the pantry, and thought about his "dream" just now. She felt that the "Zou Chuan" in front of her seemed to know Song Taile, and he even knew the "Zou Zhinan" wearing a mask in the photo. Ziyue continued to think, not only that, she wondered why it was such a coincidence, he lived in the same neighborhood as herself.
It wasn't until she saw Zou Zhinan turn off the lights in the office that Ziyue stopped thinking. Ziyue understood that instead of thinking about it himself, it was better to test Zou Zhinan directly.
The two went downstairs and chatted all the way, Zou Zhinan talked about the foreign people's feelings, Ziyue also talked about the popular attractions and snacks in Nanming City today, and the identity of their first acquaintance, Tiannan and Haibei, spoke freely.
However, as soon as she arrived at the parking lot, Ziyue changed her words.
"Do you know Zou Zhinan?" Ziyue saw Zou Zhinan standing between the two cars and preparing to open the door, so she went around and stood in front of the car, as if at the angle in the "dream", she wanted to reach out and touch Zou Zhinan's arm to complete the action in the dream.
Zou Zhinan was in a trance for a moment, but he stepped back like a gentleman. "How?"
Ziyue saw Zou Zhinan retreating, her hand fell on the car door that was about to be opened, and then said calmly: "You have the same surname, and you returned to China on the same day, and you look at him......" Ziyue deliberately paused, wondering if what she saw in her dream was real, or if it was just her imagination.
"What do I look at him? What do you mean? Zou Zhinan's expression is worth playing. It wasn't like he had been poked in the spot, but more like he had heard something interesting, and his eyes were full of curiosity.
"Just when Zou Zhinan took off his mask, you seemed to be looking at him?" Ziyue is not good at telling all the things in her dreams, making others feel like a crazy person, so she has to guess according to what she saw in the morning.
Hearing this question, Zou Zhinan's eyes were extremely firm, but his gaze still had a hint of turn, and he said, "It should have been when he heard the voice that he found me!" ”
"You really don't know him?" Ziyue understood that the voice that Zou Zhinan said was accidentally made when he fell, so he had to jump away from the "dream" evidence that he couldn't get his hands on, and continued to question Zou Zhinan.
"Who doesn't know him! I'm afraid that the surname is Zou, but the person who is not known should be me! Zou Zhinan easily dispelled Ziyue's doubts.
Ziyue smiled helplessly, pressed the hand on the car door and slowly moved down, opened the car door, asked Zou Zhinan to get in the car, and went to the other side to drive. Ziyue felt that the question just now was a little offensive, and it was difficult to say anything after getting in the car, so she turned on the radio station she often listened to to listen to the news. The two listened to Zou Jinming's family affairs all the way. In the information age, any news is very fast, and what they heard in the car was a report section written by Zou Zhinan. Zou Zhinan's face still looked like he didn't care about his own business, but Ziyue was complacent about grabbing a few headlines today.
The car drove into the community, and Ziyue saw the doorman uncle waving to him, and seemed to suddenly think of something. She stopped the car at the gate of the community and said to Zou Zhinan: "I'm sorry, I still have some things to send you here." ”
Zou Zhinan seemed to be driven down, but he didn't feel embarrassed. "If you need it, if there is a place to help, I am willing to help!" Zou Zhinan said generously.
"Thanks, it's just a personal matter. See you at work! After Ziyue finished speaking, she turned the car around in the community and drove out of the community again.
Looking at the direction in which the car left, Zou Zhinan's face darkened. He walked quickly to a building in the community, went straight to the fourteenth floor, and entered room 403. The house is fully equipped, the refrigerator is full of high-end fruits and drinks, the windows are bright and clean, and there is no dust in any place. Zou Zhinan walked straight to the bathroom, cleaning the fatigue of the day, he kept thinking. He didn't understand why two memories of what happened in the airport parking lot in the morning suddenly came to his mind. One is Dong Ziyue sitting next to him, and the other is that two Dong Ziyue are in the parking lot at the same time, and one of them has to uncover the mask of the person pretending to be him after looking at him. Although he pretended not to understand in front of Dong Ziyue, he understood that it was not a memory out of thin air, because Dong Ziyue's words revealed that Dong Ziyue should also have the same memory.
Zou Zhinan came out of the bathroom, picked up the beer that had just been placed on the table, and then dialed Song Taile's phone.
"You kid finally know how to call!" The voice on the other end of the line was crisp, but there was an endless cacophony.
"I've been busy today, so I'm free!" Zou Zhinan said and took another sip of beer.
"Come out, catch the wind for you!" Song Taile found a quiet place, and the voice on the phone was much cleaner.
