Chapter 62: depart, rest, between reality and reality.

Ge Dong, who has put on his coat, comes out of the infirmary and sits beside Changsheng He.

The snow-white light hit from directly above, reflecting people's faces white.

Noticing the figure at his side, Changsheng He perked up: "Your injury is fine ......"

Before he could finish his question, Ge Dong pulled up the hood of Changsheng He's down jacket, covered his head, and held his head slightly more forcefully, making him lean on his shoulder.

Changsheng He was a little confused, struggling to get up: " Ge Dong ......"

Ge Dong's voice is a little warmer, not as cold and hard as usual: "The injury is not a problem. Look, you can still hug the seniors."

Changsheng He stopped struggling and leaned obediently on Ge Dong's shoulder.

Passing overtime officers couldn't help but look at them twice, but neither of them cared much for the sight of onlookers.

Ge Dong called him softly, "Senpai."

Leaning on a person three and a half years younger than himself, smelling the faint smell of snow and ice on his body, Changsheng He is surprisingly extraordinarily at ease.

Changsheng He mumbled: " Ge Dong , Lou he was not like this before."

Before the police arrived, they had already heard from those scared out of their wits from the punks about what happened.

They have suffered a great deal, how dare they hide again, cry, one by one, all told.

Changsheng He asked Ge Dong: "He saved me from others before. Why is he like this now."

Ge Dong didn't say anything.

Both Ge Dong and Xiaochi Chi have experienced the painful feeling of just asking "why". Adding fuel to the fire at such a time makes Changsheng He uncomfortable.

So, without saying a word, he gently stroked the back of Changsheng He's neck through a layer of soft down, like he was comforting a helpless kitten.

Two teenage figures sitting side by side supporting each other and thinking a lot about each other.

And just hold on Changsheng He, Xiaochi Chi got goose bumps.

061 was a little worried about him, "Don't push yourself."

Xiaochi Chi said in a relaxed tone: "It's okay, coaxing the child. It's best to hold them in your arms."

061: "......" ugh.

He shifted part of his consciousness to Xiaochi Chi's jacket, embracing his entire body from behind.

Probably because the heating was on too much, Xiaochi Chi felt so warm that she almost wanted to fall asleep.

Dong's mother went to bed very early, and Ge Dong was afraid of her worry, and did not contact her by phone, but only sent a text message to clarify the situation and let her not worry.

When Dong's mother woke up the next day, she was almost frightened to see the news, dragging Dong's father to the police station, just when Feihong Dong, who had finished making a statement, came out of the police station with a child in hand.

The mother jumped up and pulled Ge Dong and touched her face and arms, checking them carefully from head to tail.

Ge Dong was a little uncomfortable and blushingly struggled, "Mom, mom, I'm really fine. I just can't do sit-ups for a while."

To make sure that their own son did not have a big deal, winter mother dryly a slap up: "sit-ups you head. This time you will give me supine, sit up once and hit you once."

Ge Dong : "......"

As soon as Dong's mother turned her back, Changsheng He immediately reached out and gently rubbed Ge Dong's head.

Feihong Dong reached out and beckoned two cabs: "I left my car near the KTV, there is no hurry to pick it up. Let's go home first, Xiao Ge and Changsheng haven't eaten breakfast yet."

Dong's mother and father are with Ge Dong, and Feihong Dong is with Changsheng He.

After the car started up, Changsheng He asked while fastening his seatbelt, "How did Little Uncle know we were at this KTV?"

Feihong Dong's hand, which was fastening the seat belt, gave a slight beat.

061 can't say that he was afraid of Xiaochi Chi back to the injury, directly " Feihong Dong " data out, even the car is carried over afterwards.

Fortunately, the surveillance system firewall in this small county is not tight enough. On the way from the ice rink to the KTV, 061 monitored seventeen cameras that worked, so he made up a whole section of the drive-by image to cover all the cameras on the road in case the police investigated the problem afterwards.

He "clicked" the seatbelt pin into the slot, calmly said: " Ge Dong mother worried that Ge Dong so late back unsafe, told me to wait for the door, I also do not feel comfortable, simply come out to find you. ...... Ge Dong's cell phone was lost once before. Later I set up a security binding with Ge Dong's phone and could locate his phone's position."

Changsheng He just asked a casual question, and at first glance there was nothing wrong with this answer, so he nodded obediently and said, "Yes."

However, 061 became apprehensive.

The fact that Xiaochi Chi is so careful, there is no way he didn't notice this oversight.

And what made him even more apprehensive was that until Sifan Lou woke up in the hospital, Xiaochi Chi didn't ask Feihong Dong how he actually found them.

Sifan Lou was dizzy for more than a day.

When he woke up, in unbearable pain, everyone said to him, recuperate, your injury is not serious, can be good.

But when Sifan Lou asked anxiously if it would affect her skating and if there would be any after-effects, everyone was evasive.

Sifan Lou felt panic up.

What made him feel even more frightened was that Changsheng He never came to visit him.

On the third day of hospitalization, Sifan Lou's coach came to visit.

Instead of pointing his finger at him and scolding him, the hot-tempered coach sat quietly for a while and talked to him about what he had seen during New Year's Eve and some places suitable for travel and recuperation, so calmly that Sifan Lou wanted to bang his head against the wall.

Sifan Lou's heart has been hanging in his throat for several days, his eyes have been red and he has been very hypersensitive.

He grabbed the coach and asked, "What's wrong with me, coach? They all won't tell me the truth. You are here, talk to me ......"

Coach, you scold me, why don't you scold me?

The coach was asked by Sifan Lou's parents to tell him the news, and he could only let out a long sigh as he looked at his once most decorated student: "...... has a crushed knee. If you take a year off to recuperate, you'll probably still have a chance to get on the ice."

Sifan Lou was completely frozen.

It was not until the coach left the ward and met up with Lou's parents waiting outside that he heard movement in the ward.

Sifan Lou grabbed his hair and screamed one scream after another, his voice tearing like vomiting.

Lou's family entered the ward and surrounded Sifan Lou, but no amount of comforting words could help Sifan Lou now.

Gradually, he ran out of strength and could no longer scream, leaving only a mournful cry.

Changsheng He, who happened to be visiting on this day, stood outside the messy ward, watched for a while, put down the fruit basket at the door, and then turned around and left.

...... he knew about Sifan Lou's feelings, but things had gone so far that Changsheng He could no longer give the former best friend any decency or tenderness.

Not seeing again is already the best option.

The nature of this hiring injury is extremely bad, first because of the long planning and second because of the serious consequences.

But for Lou's family, the matter is embarrassingly unusual: the

Lou Si Yun's men were ordered to beat up Ge Dong and ask for his leg, but they ended up in a big mess and got the wrong person and were beaten up as Sifan Lou.

On this matter, Lou family is to pursue or not to pursue?

As it turns out, Lou's family's opinion doesn't matter at all.

The skinny monkeys and yellow hair were detained, and those who did not beat people up but were beaten up one by one, in order to skim themselves clean, had to put the blame on the top, saying that they were instructed, forced.

...... climbed on top of each other, and it was a mess.

Both Ge Dong and Changsheng He do not intend to get involved in this muddy water anymore.

They have limited mental energy and really shouldn't be wasted on such things.

After the 15th anniversary, Ge Dong's injuries healed and the two returned to the provincial capital by train to prepare for their training in Finland.

And three days before Ge Dong left, Feihong Dong was also leaving.

Feihong Dong's luggage is very simple, a suitcase is all he needs.

When he had everything ready, he turned around and asked Xiaochi Chi, who had been watching him pack, "What do you want to eat for our last meal together before we go abroad?"

Xiaochi Chi asked, "Anything you want to eat?"

Feihong Dong smiles: "Whatever you want to eat." Whether it's Australian lobster, abalone, shark's fin, or the Zaotai fish they ate when they first met, anything.

Xiaochi Chi said, "I want to eat shredded pork noodles with egg."

Feihong Dong was slightly surprised: "You only want to eat this?"

Xiaochi Chi : "This one is just fine."

Feihong Dong put on the skin and made contact with Xiaochi Chi's clear eyes for a moment, only to feel his heart numb and soft, there was no reason not to agree: "Yes."

To make it official, he made hand-rolled noodles.

The dough, which smells like wheat, is taken out of the white porcelain bowl when it has risen just right and is rolled out as thin as paper.

Feihong Dong also cut shredded ham, shredded beef and shredded chicken to ensure a wide variety and fresh taste.

He turned on the heat and when the water came to a boil, he asked Xiaochi Chi, "Do you want a loose egg or a whole egg?"

Xiaochi Chi, who had been trailing behind him, picked up the conversation smoothly: "The whole thing. Home-baked eggs."

Feihong Dong nods, takes two fresh eggs out of the fridge and cracks them directly into the pot.

After cracking open the second egg, Feihong Dong took a good look: "Ah, double yolk."

The person behind him was silent for a moment and opened his mouth with a smile, "Little Uncle is really great."

Feihong Dong lost his smile and naturally replied, "What's so great about it. It's not like I did it."

When the words were spoken, the two men looked at each other.

The young man gazed at him with unusual seriousness, the eyes seemed to carry a subtle electric current, stabbing Feihong Dong's cheeks vaguely hot.

He just thought he was being hit in the face by the heat, and reached out to push Xiaochi Chi: "Okay, it's too hot here. Go out and wait, the food will be ready soon."

When he says right away, he means right away.

Within ten minutes, the noodles with shredded pork and egg were on the table.

The soup noodles were served in a wide mouth sea bowl, the hand-rolled noodles were evenly sliced and threaded, a small handful of minced green onions were sprinkled on the clear soup, and ham, beef and shredded chicken were hot and crowded in the bowl, beautifully arranged.

Xiaochi Chi used chopsticks to pluck away the noodles and counted them. In Feihong Dong's bowl was an egg, and in his own bowl, there was one lying on top and one buried underneath.

He scooped up a spoonful of soup and drank it.

Feihong Dong asked him, "Is it good?"

Xiaochi Chi said, "It's delicious."

Feihong Dong nodded, and after a pleasant meal, Xiaochi Chi washed the dishes while Feihong Dong continued to organize the household items.

Neither of them actively mentions the upcoming parting the next day, but the parting will come eventually.

The next morning, he and Changsheng He took Feihong Dong to the airport together.

Wearing the coat he wore when he first met Ge Dong, Feihong Dong gently stroked Ge Dong's hair and said gently, "I'm afraid that my uncle will be very busy when he goes abroad, and he won't be able to visit you from time to time."

Ge Dong nodded slightly, but his eyes were staring straight at Feihong Dong, as if he wanted to burn his image into his eyes.

Feihong Dong took out a book from his carry-on bag and stuffed it into Ge Dong's arms: "This is the gift that Little Uncle promised to give you. You keep it."

It was a beautifully bound comic book.

The name of the comic is "Ge Dong".

After handing over this long-prepared gift to Ge Dong, Feihong Dong took his luggage and turned around to walk into the passenger aisle.

Changsheng He took the comic and flipped it open.

That story is simple. It begins with a kid entering a gymnastics school and practicing figure skating who encounters school violence in the bathroom. The kid solves the problem and moves up step by step, eventually reaching the top.

Rather than a comic with a plot, this is a hand-drawn photobook.

It has very little dialogue, recording simple stories, bits and pieces of life, of Ge Dong's graceful back in the dance studio, and of his falling down, and getting up again and again.

On the title page of the comic is an unattributed message, "For anyone who deserves to get this book."

Changsheng He flipped through the cartoon, full of envy.

Ge Dong's expression is also quite soft, with a light smile at the corner of his mouth.

Not long after, the plane Feihong Dong was on was ready to take off.

The flight attendants walked through the aisle and reminded passengers one by one to fasten their seat belts.

As she walked to one of the rows, the flight attendant saw that a window seat was empty and, thinking that the person sitting here had gone to the bathroom, politely asked the passenger in the next seat, "Is this your companion's seat, please?"

The passenger shook his head, "I'm traveling alone. It's empty, no one is sitting here."

The flight attendant was a bit puzzled and checked the manual counter with her head down and found that the seat was indeed unoccupied.

...... But she clearly remembered that this cabin was full.

As a precaution, she found the stewardess and reported the incident to her.

The flight attendant checked the passenger list and gave a positive answer, "Yes, there is no one in that seat."

The moment Sifan Lou wakes up, the system prompts that the remorse value is full and the host can withdraw from this world.

Since Feihong Dong has already left the country, Xiaochi Chi also needs to pick a suitable time to leave.

Three days later, the skating team boarded a flight to Finland.

According to the arrangement, Ge Dong should sit with Xiao Liang and Changsheng He should sit with Xiaoyan Fang. As soon as they got on the plane, Xiaoyan Fang took away Changsheng He's ticket and exchanged it with Xiao Liang's ticket.

Changsheng He : "...... eh?"

Xiaoyan Fang is as familiar as ever: "Well what? Changed ah. Night, we both sit."

Xiao Liang's mouth curled up, "Good."

Changsheng He took the ticket that was exchanged in seconds, looked at the ticket, and then looked at Ge Dong who was already sitting down and swiping his phone, and his cheeks were slightly red.

He puts the small bag with him beside Ge Dong and coughs.

Ge Dong turned his head to look at him.

Changsheng He said, "I'll sit here."

Ge Dong : "Sit down."

Changsheng He special here and now: "...... Yan Xiao let me sit."

Ge Dong looked him in the eye, "Then do you want me to switch with Xiao Liang as well."

Changsheng He immediately said, "No."

After saying that, his whole person is a little bit not good, partial to the red face fly up: "I go to the bathroom."

Ge Dong : "Well."

Changsheng He took two steps out, then fell back and demanded, "Don't you change."

Ge Dong smiled faintly, "Good. Listen to the seniors, no change."

After watching Changsheng He leave, Ge Dong lowered his head again, finished typing his unedited text message and sent it out, "Little Uncle, I'm getting on the plane and preparing to turn off my phone."

Feihong Dong's message came back quickly: "Have a good trip."

Looking at the words "Bon voyage", Xiaochi Chi smiled lightly in the middle of nowhere.

061 slyly: "Is ...... that happy?"

Xiaochi Chi didn't answer that, and after turning his phone off, he said, "Sixth teacher, stop the function of the acceleration card. Let's get ready to go."

After the plane took off and departed, Xiaoyan Fang, who was returning from the restroom, passed by the two of them and took a gossipy peek.

After all, these two have been back in the provincial team since the year, and the aura of spring in their bodies is not right.

She was surprised when she glanced over and grabbed Changsheng He, who was reading a sports magazine, by the shoulder: "What's wrong with Ge Dong?"

As soon as Ge Dong got on the plane, he asked for a blanket and said he was sleepy. Changsheng He didn't think much of it, and only peeked at his sleeping face for a short while before he started looking through the books he brought.

Reminded by Xiaoyan Fang, Changsheng He looked at Ge Dong and was shocked to find that his cheeks were flaming red, his breathing was rapid, and his hands outside the blanket were burning and trembling.

He panicked: "...... Ge Dong ?! Ge Dong !!!"

He held Ge Dong's hand with force and called out his name.

...... Changsheng He never forgets to wear gloves whenever he is with Ge Dong.

At the sound of the voice, Ge Dong's eyelids twitched slightly and he opened his eyes a little.

The shape of the person in front of him was all blurred, but Ge Dong could vaguely identify who he was in the fever.

He exhausted his whole body and squeezed Changsheng He's soft fingers: "...... seniors, don't be afraid."

At this time, Xiaochi Chi, who had broken away from Ge Dong's body, had once again entered that snowy white space resting point.

This time he volunteered, "I want to find a place and rest for a while."

061 Nod.

That's normal.

Xiaochi Chi in the third world full of seven years, even in the late replacement of the advanced time compression card, according to the normal flow of time, but also after nearly a year of light.

This can be considered the longest world 061 has ever experienced, not to mention Xiaochi Chi is human, and I'm afraid it will take more time for him to emerge from the role of " Ge Dong".

He asked, "How long do you have to rest?"

Xiaochi Chi said, "Three days."

061 frowned: "It's too short, isn't it?"

Xiaochi Chi still says the same thing: "I'm in a hurry to get back."

This sentence he has heard many times, but this time to hear the ears, but called 061 some inexplicable suffocation.

To divert attention, he asked Xiaochi Chi, "Where do you want to go to rest?"

Xiaochi Chi quoted a location down to the exact door number, adding, "...... is in the world I came from."

It took 061 some time to retrieve and locate the location because it was too clearly pointed out.

All teleportation places leading from resting points are projections of the real world.

When the host enters the world, the system will correct its appearance, so you don't have to worry about someone familiar to the host bumping into the host, thus causing a series of subsequent troubles.

In contrast, the building in front of us is empty and quiet, deserted, and it does not look like 061 needs to correct the appearance of Xiaochi Chi.

Xiaochi Chi spoke before stepping out into space, "Go ahead."

He also remembered that 061 had said that the system would come separately from the host when the host was resting. Because not being in the middle of the mission world, the system's ability will be drastically limited and weakened to the extreme.

061 said, "Just in case, I still gave you a look-alike correction and put some money in your pocket. Feel free to go out if you want to go out and play."

Xiaochi Chi touched his pocket.

Inside was a bank card with the PIN written on the back of the card.

Xiaochi Chi : "How much is it?"

061: "Three hundred thousand."

Xiaochi Chi admired 061's knowledge of "something": "Wow."

061 not quite dare to look directly at the strong feelings of reluctance within himself: "...... otherwise I'd better go with you."

Xiaochi Chi's eyes blinked, a bit tantalizingly flirtatious: "What, you can't let me go?"

061 Adjust your mind: "...... It's okay, you go ahead."

Xiaochi Chi was about to enter the space, but then retracted his steps, "Hey, how do I come back."

061 said, "Call me in your head if you have something. Whenever you call me, I'll teleport you back."

After handing over everything, Xiaochi Chi enters his world.

And 061 closed his eyes.

In the next second, he re-established himself in the main god space with the image of white clothes and black pants.

Surrounded by the busy systems that come and go, but 061 felt empty inside, full of words to say to whom, but that person is not around.

At that exact moment, 089 came up to me, as if he was on a voice call with someone.

At first glance at this face, 061 surprisingly instinctive a little angry.

But as soon as 089 opened his mouth, he pulled 061 out of his inexplicable emotions: "Fuck that host 897!"

After saying this concluding statement, he strode up to 061 and said with residual anger, "Back?"

061 asked, "What's wrong?"

089 was so angry that his cheeks turned white and opened his mouth, "897 host that stupid ......"

061 sighed in good humor and amusement, "Don't get too emotional, be careful of complaints."

089: "That big dumbass of a host 897. He's having too good a time in the sixth world and refuses to come back."

061: "...... He is in love with the object of the mission?"

This phenomenon is already commonplace in 061. In the occasional gathering of the system to spit out the odd host, this spit out the reason perennially occupies the top of the list.

089 said, "...... fell in love with people who have nothing to do with the task object. At first it was just negativity, but now it has completely ignored the task object."

The system also has countermeasures for this situation.

061 asked, "So let him force his way out?"

The term "forced exit" is a common term among systems, but since Xiaochi Chi mentioned the possible existence of the original host inside the host, 061 felt a little sick when he said it again.

Forced detachment, is the system to get the Lord God's transgression authorization, control the host suicide, and then the host consciousness will be withdrawn and gone.

Previously, 061 considered this as a means of punishment.

...... But why must the "host suicide control" be used as punishment? Wouldn't it be better to just pull out and let the punishment work on the host's mental body?

089 said, "What can we do if we don't force him to get out? Can we let him fall in love in that world and talk about the end of time?"

061 did not speak again.

He remembered Xiaochi Chi and Xiaochi Chi's rather unusual attitude towards " Feihong Dong".

...... What if he wants to stay in that world.

When the time comes, they also accompany him to stay ......

061 was stunned by the thought of himself, but then he smiled in relief.

-- Chi Xiao is the strongest believer among the hosts he has taken, and should not waver.

However, he simply can not explain clearly, his own mind at the moment the discomfort and tangled from where.

And at the same time.

Xiaochi Chi Alone with a broom, he cleaned the empty silo.

The only sounds in the whole building were his footsteps and the sound of brushing and sweeping.

The bamboo broom makes contact with the ground and sweeps out a linear track of dust.

Xiaochi Chi's expression is extremely serious, as if he is doing an extremely important job.

Since many years ago, this entire building has been the property of Xiaochi Chi.

All the residents have moved out, leaving Xiaochi Chi alone, so it's up to Xiaochi Chi to decide which room he wants to live in.

After sweeping the whole building in silence, he walked back to the first floor, took out the spare key from under the small flower pot placed in the security window, opened the room where Ying Lou used to live and walked in.

His accident was in the summer, and now more than a year has passed, when the winter, the house is very cold.

The good thing is that the electricity bill is regularly deducted from his account, so there is still electricity in the building.

He turned on the air conditioner and TV, tuned a few stations, and found that The Matrix was actually playing on the movie channel.

Xiaochi Chi wrapped the blanket tightly around him and watched the film he had seen countless times again.

In The Matrix, the protagonist accidentally discovers that he is a person living in a virtual world.

In the virtual world, his life is happy and secure, however, in the real world, he is not living as well as he should, clothing, food, housing and transportation, and a pig is not very different.

In the real world, there is a resistance army that hides deep in the heart of the earth and fights against the mastermind.

They don't want to go back to that false world of the mind, they prefer to stay in the harsh reality.

At this time, someone took to the protagonist a blue pill and a red pill.

The man told him to take the blue pill and you will forget everything you saw in the real and wake up the next day as usual and work as usual.

And eat the red pill, the protagonist will get nothing, the only thing you get, only true.

In the movie, the protagonist chose to take the red pill.

Xiaochi Chi stares intently at the screen, recalling how he felt when he first saw the film.

He asked Ying Lou: "Lou, if something that he looks real and touches is real, why can't it be real?"

Even Ying Lou could not give him an answer to this question.

Similarly, Feihong Dong looks so much like Lou, his personality is also like Lou, everything is so similar, so why can't he be real?

"Mr Anderson......" Xiaochi Chi curled up in the warm blanket and murmured the lines, "...... Why?"

After many years, Xiaochi Chi has finally found the answer he was unable to find all those years ago.

...... because none of this is true.

Feihong Dong is no longer good, but also does not belong to his brother Lou.

He's not going anywhere in the world without Ying Lou.
