Compared with my shouting monsters, Xu Chen seemed very calm. He silently took out his phone from his pocket and unlocked it.

- Uh, his phone is charged!

I was embarrassed, and immediately reined in my panic and stood still.

Xu Chen dialed the number of the owner of the garden and explained the situation to him. Then, I heard the owner on the other end of the phone happy: "My wife and I made a bet that we will lock up two more people today." She still didn't believe it, saying that there wouldn't be such stupid people anymore! I didn't have to wash the dishes for the next month. Thank you! ”

Xu Chen held his mobile phone with a helpless expression: "When will you come back?" ”

"Hey, I know, I'll go back as soon as possible, you can wait for me for a while, you guys are busy with your first......" After speaking, his phone was disconnected.

I was anxious: "When does the owner say he will come back?" ”

"He hasn't said it yet."

Xu Chen called back the phone again, and this time it was a cold electronic female voice that answered him - "The other party has turned off the phone." ”

Xu Chen explained: "It seems that his mobile phone is out of battery. ”

"Ah......h

"He has been informed. We just wait patiently. ”

I nodded, and I couldn't help but feel my mouth dry. I don't know if it's because of the sun's baking, or because I'm alone with Xu Chen......

I immediately: "I'm going to keep counting." With that, I turned back to the big basket in the corner, counted the leaves, and sorted them into the cardboard box.

- How could it be so coincidental that they were trapped with him......

My heart was apprehensive, and my hands were moving mechanically.

I held back and didn't look back, I didn't look at him, I couldn't look at him......

Waited a moment. I heard Xu Chen's footsteps gradually moving away, I suddenly relaxed my shoulders and exhaled secretly. I know what's going on in my heart. Those diaries and photos warn me all the time-

Xu Chen is the person I must stay away from.

After I finished the leaves, the owner of the garden had not returned.

Sunlight shines through the transparent roof, and the temperature inside the greenhouse rises indefinitely. I've long since taken off my coat and still feel hot. Sweat ran through my hair and trickled down my forehead. Unbuttoned a few buttons on the collar of his shirt, grabbed the collar and fanned it slightly. I was tired, so I found a clean newspaper to lay on the floor, sat on the paper and leaned against the wall to rest, and this time I felt even more tired and dizzy......

"Drink water?"

When I heard the voice, I opened my eyes and saw Xu Chen coming. He stopped in front of me, took a book-like transparent kettle, unscrewed the lid and handed it to me.

At this moment, I am the earth that has been cracked for a long time, and I yearn for the rain infinitely. With my eyes shining brightly, I took the pot in my hand and took a small sip and another sip carefully and restrainedly...... I licked my dry lips, which were no longer astringent, returned the kettle, and thanked me solemnly.

"You don't have to be so frugal. There's a lot of water. Xu Chen said and handed the kettle over.

"Not sure how long to stay here. It's better to save some. I waved my hand and refused. Xu Chen also took a sip of water and screwed the lid on. Then sit down beside me.

I realized that on the surface I was calm, but in reality, the unsettling factor seemed to lurk in my blood. In the same environment, Xu Chen is really indifferent. As for me, the sense of crisis seems to be innate.

I was a little embarrassed: "Do you have anything to eat?" ”

I came out in a hurry at noon, I hadn't eaten, and now I even found it hard to speak.

Xu Chen nodded and rummaged through his bag. The food seemed to be pressed to the bottom, and in order to take it smoothly, Xu Chen had to take out the objects pressed on the top first. Notepads, pens, and sticky notes......

His sticky notes, long white strips with colored slashes on the edges, and a postmark in the lower right corner, are the appearance of an envelope. I know this note, and it has always been attached to the thermos pot with throat tea. I quickly picked up the note in my hand, pointed it at the light, and at a slight angle, I read the marks on it.

——It turned out that the owner of the thermos pot was Xu Chen......

I was shocked, and at the same time, I noticed a faint pain in my chest.

"Only chocolate wafers......" Xu Chen said and looked up, finding me holding his note, he immediately took the note back from my hand and stuffed it back into my bag.

He was careful to avoid my inquiring gaze.

"Throat tea and snacks, you gave them to me?" Even though I had the answer in my mind at this point, I still asked.

After being silent for a long time, Xu Chen replied: "Your tonsils are easily inflamed, and no matter how much Western medicine you take, it will be ineffective, you can only drink the water boiled from the roots of the 'Star Tree'." ”

In the silent silence. I was embarrassed and resistant: "You don't have to bother taking care of me. ”

Extremely smart. Xu Chen immediately saw through my false and superfluous concerns: "I know that I am a stranger to you now. I don't want you to be psychologically burdened if I don't tell you. ”

He laughed at himself and added, "It's just that I can't pretend I don't know." ”

I don't know how to respond.

Xu Chen understood all my emotions, and he stood up: "I'll go and choose some flowers again." He left the kettle for me, and walked deeper into the greenhouse, disappearing into the flowers.

It soon became dark. Before, the greenhouse was as hot as the equator, but now it is as cold as winter. I shuddered as I wrapped my clothes, and my ears buzzed like a large sea.

The sound of the sea rises higher and higher......

I rubbed my eyes open and found myself alone on a deserted beach. There was a young man standing in the distance, smiling gently, I recognized it, it was Xu Chen. I tried to run to him, but I couldn't move, and I looked down to see my legs sinking slowly in the white sand. I tried to call for help, but I couldn't. At this moment, there was suddenly a girl next to him, and she had the same face as me. It's me? No, it's not me, it's Lu Zhenyu. He took her hand, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and turned around together. They walked hand in hand into the distance.

Wait for me......

I tried to lift my feet, but I fell to the ground. When I got up again, there was no one else on the beach, but me, alone. The waves rolled and roared behind me, covering me completely. In a trance, I actually felt refreshed, a soul that had been completely stripped of flesh and blood......

Someone shook my shoulder vigorously, as if shouting something.

My throat seemed to be choked, I couldn't breathe, and in the struggle, I struggled to open my eyes, and the air finally reached my chest.

“…… Star, are you okay? ”

The black roof slowly lowered, several light bulbs on the top of the greenhouse lit up one after another, the high-wattage lamp emitted a strong light, under the dazzling hot light, Xu Chen's face gradually became clear in the mist, and I was sitting in his arms. I finally remembered that I was in the greenhouse. The sound of the tide in my ears is still there, and the silence and nothingness are all there.

Consciousness has finally returned.

I haven't dreamed in a long time.

I struggled to get up, only to find that my ribs burned and my torso didn't seem to be my own.

Xu Chen stopped me from moving, and he said, "Don't move." You have a fever. ”

I blinked at him, and after a short thought, I said, "I had a dream...... I dreamed that I walked into the sea by myself. ”

Xu Chen's face changed suddenly.

The wind is blowing.

The wind howled outside the shed, tearing the air through the air with a violent and muffled sound, a terrifying sound.

Xu Chen...... Was there anything wrong with me before I had an accident? ”

Xu Chen's eyes instantly turned red, and there was sadness and resentment in his eyes.

He pursed his lips, silent as a mussel.

I lobbied him, "I can't remember what happened before, at least, I need to know what happened before." ”

"I don't know......," he said after a long time.

I can't hide my loss.

"You left a lot of money for Xiao Yu."

"What?" I was shocked, my heart was turbulent, and I carefully asked, "How much is a large sum?" ”

Xu Chen said: "It's far beyond your ability." ”

In an instant, a high pitch exploded in my head, and the countless fragments of the treble split into chaos scattered and converged.

"Insurance money?" I asked carefully.

My father told Mr. Lil that he had found a family for me, but it was not suitable for me to go back, so he didn't tell me the truth. I wondered if it was before the accident that I bought life insurance. If I appear out of thin air, I will become an insurance fraud, and my sister will be implicated immediately, so ......

I haven't finished reasoning yet, and Xu Chen has already denied this guess.

"It's not...... Shortly after your accident, a letter was sent to your home. The recipient is Xiao Yu, and the sender is—" Xu Chen took a deep breath, "It's you." ”

My heart beats like a drum. A huge momentum seemed to burst through the chest cavity and gush out.

"Where did I get all that money?" I could also notice my voice trembling slightly.

"I don't know. You didn't tell me. Xu Chen's voice suddenly weakened, "We've known each other for a long, long time, so long that I thought I knew you very well, and I didn't know until that moment that I was too arrogant, I didn't know you as well as I thought I did." You seem to ......"

He paused, his gaze wandering. He was hesitating.

I eagerly asked, "What does it seem?" ”

“…… It seems to foresee the future and make arrangements. In a farewell pose. ”

I was overwhelmed by this answer.

No wonder, when Lin Xuanyan accused me of suicide not by accident, Xu Chen hesitated. Perhaps, when he saw the bank card that suddenly arrived, he also thought about it like this.

I tried to explore the face of "me" lost in the old time, but I found that the forks in the road of tracing the past were intertwined, and I had no light to explore with my blind eyes, and I was lost and turned back, and lost my way again. Along the way, the more I explored, the more thrilling I became, and the more I looked, the more confused I became. The "me" who lived in the past tense not only had a hazy face and strange numbers, but also seemed to have many secrets......

I looked at Xu Chen, I wanted to ask, but I didn't dare to ask-

"Do you know me a bad person?"

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly, someone frantically banged on the locked door.

The loud noise made my whole body straighten, and I glared at the door in horror.

"Mulsorcapher! Are you in there? ”

It's the voice of Ritsu Terukawa!

I immediately straightened up and replied forcefully, "Yes, I'm here!" ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the sound of a heavy object smashing into a lock.

Then, the closed door was kicked open, and the wind swept into the house.

I saw Ritsu Zhaochuan standing awe-inspiring outside the door, he threw away the murder weapon in his hand, and strode towards us......
