Chi Nan didn't nod or shake his head, just said lightly, "I'm used to it."
You Yu smiled: "Thank you for your stay."
He walked into the bedroom familiarly and laid a mattress on the floor: "Unfortunately, my bed was recycled before, and now I have to sleep on the floor."
As he said, he opened the closet and tsk tsk, "They are quite clean and neat, they didn't even give me a change of clothes."
Chi Nan opened his closet and handed the washed pajamas to You Yu: "Wear mine."
After a pause, he looked up at You Yu slightly, "...it might be a little short, don't mind."
You Yu curled the corners of his lips: "Thank you."
"Speaking of which," Chi Nan suddenly thought of something, "this height...is your real height?"
You Yu thought for a while: "No."
Chi Nan breathed a sigh of relief, and You Yu continued: "My real height is three centimeters higher than the "doctor". "
Chi Nan: "..." He didn't want to talk anymore.
You Yu: "If you don't believe me, you'll find out next time you compare it carefully."
Chi Nan: "Why?"
Obviously it's the body of "You Yu", why is the original owner half a head taller than him
You Yu understood what he meant, thought about it for a moment and said, "Probably you are a picky eater and don't grow taller."
He remembered how Chi Nan carefully avoided the vegetables in the pot when he was eating hot pot, so he secretly wanted to laugh.
Chi Nan: "...you go take a shower."
You Yu obediently took Chi Nan's pajamas and walked to the bathroom. He knew that this little evil spirit was going to open a small stove to eat sweets and cry while he was taking a bath.
Sure enough, You Yu came out after washing, Chi Nan had already eaten the desserts he brought back, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, picked up the bath utensils and walked into the bathroom.
You Yu was lying on the mattress in Chi Nan's pajamas. The sound of water splashing came from the bathroom. The air smelled of warm, steam-filled shower gel. He closed his eyes and felt unexpectedly calm.
The accidental fall of the horse on February 29 was completely different from the scene he had imagined countless times, and the relationship between the two after the fall was also very different from his presupposition.
He thought that he and Chi Nan would move towards a more dramatic and tense confrontation, but the reality was the opposite.
The little evil spirit that occupied his body faced the original owner, and did not show any emotion such as nervousness, fear, anger or disgust at all.
He just handed the cake lightly, wished him a happy birthday lightly, turned his head and made a light wish of "returning to the original owner".
There was no struggle or control in Chi Nan's eyes, nor was there any fear, he was not afraid of losing the body he was forced to possess.
You Yu also seemed to have more reason to guard "his own body", watching Chi Nan's every move openly and aboveboard.
Thinking of this, the corner of You Yu's lips raised unconsciously. He didn't know when he and Chi Nan developed a tacit understanding, as if they should get along like this...
Chi Nan, who came out of the bathroom, rubbed his hair with a dry towel, and You Yu turned over to look at him with interest: "Do you need me to dry it for you?"
Chi Nan's hand paused: "No, thank you."
"I can take care of this body myself." Chi Nan said, pulling out the hairdryer and blowing his hair obediently.
You Yu smiled: "I see."
After drying her hair, Chi Nan turned off the lights in the room, and You Yu tacitly turned on the night light in the bedroom to illuminate him.
"Why don't you let me exchange the thing for the original owner's wish?" Chi Nan turned around and asked You Yu after lying on the bed.
You Yu looked at him from the bottom up: "If I want to get back my body, I will do it myself."
Chi Nan: "...Oh."
"And the fact that this body can be used by you is more valuable than being buried in the ground or sent to cremation, isn't it?"
"That's true."
"But... it's not me who rejected your wish. I don't have such high authority." You Yu said helplessly.
Chi Nan's brows twitched imperceptibly, and You Yu continued, "How did you lose your memory?"
Chi Nan lowered his eyes and shook his head: "I don't even remember after waking up from your body."
He didn't plan to tell You Yu about "The Crying Boy". From the fragmented memory fragments, he saw that Xiao You Yu once regarded him as his only friend.
Being occupied by his only friend after death, Chi Nan thought it was not a happy thing.
The light of the night light was ambiguous, and Chi Nanyou's green eyes flickered.
You Yu caught his emotional fluctuations, but did not reveal it, and continued: "The person who interfered with your wishes may be the dream maker of this world."
"Have you seen him?"
"No, as far as I know no dreamer has seen him."
"Is that so..." Chi Nan's voice was getting lower and lower, "I thought the dream world was omnipotent, but I didn't expect that my wish would be rejected, which is a bit surprising."
You Yu frowned and said, "This situation has only happened twice, and you took up one of them. It's unfortunate."
Chi Nan: "Whose wish is there another time?"
You Yu smiled, but did not intend to answer his question.
When You Yu first became a dream maker, he tried to change his wish to "find the painting of the evil spirit that was placed in the bedroom", but the main system rejected his request, on the grounds that the dream world could not concretize his 'hallucinations' It is even more impossible to find something that never existed.
At that time, You Yu wondered if the evil spirit brother in the painting that he had talked to and played with in his dreams and accompanied him through the dark times was just an illusion created by him to escape from loneliness in his childhood
It took You Yu many years to find no clues about the painting, and at that time his eyes could not see, and he could not describe or reproduce the appearance of the painting.
Even... Later, even he himself could not be sure whether there was a painting in the bedroom, and the evil spirit brother in the only painting that made him happy in childhood may have been fabricated by his own subconscious...
When the trace of something's existence disappears completely, it is no different from a hallucination.
"You have to be prepared, maybe... the memory you disappeared is related to the entire dream world, so it's so expensive." You Yu answered the question.
Chi Nan nodded: "Thank you for telling me this."
"By the way, let me tell you something very important."
The bedroom is not big, the two of them can reach each other just by straightening their hands a little, because Chi Nan shrunk his whole body into the quilt, You Yu hesitated for a moment, let go of his tear mole and touched the tip of his nose, "Your tears It is a very special and valuable thing, next time you encounter difficult evil spirits in the nightmare book, you can deal with them with tears."
Under his touch, Chi Nan easily shed tears, his green eyes were wet, like beautiful stones sunk at the bottom of the river, You Yu raised his lips contentedly, "In the special room of the cruise ship at dusk, I That's what it did."
Chi Nanmu snorted with a face, and You Yu continued to explain: "If I make you cry, the evil spirit will retreat when it sees your tears."
Chi Nan was dubious: "...Thank you for letting me know."
The two talked for a while, Chi Nan's voice became lower and lower, so sleepy that the speed of speech slowed down, and finally he yawned and said, "You Yu, next time we meet, just use your own appearance. , I know it anyway."
You Yu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay, let's meet like this in the nightmare, good night."
"Good night."
There is no day and night in Zicheng, and Chi Nan doesn't know how long he has slept. When he woke up, he was the only one left in the apartment, and the bedding on the floor in the bedroom was also cleaned up, as if You Yu had never been here. .
Chi Nan sat up from the quilt, only to find that there was a pocket watch beside his pillow.
He was stunned for a moment, then carefully picked up the pocket watch. Under the familiar cover were the hour and minute hands that always stopped at 12:20.
This is Yu Yu's death birthmark...
But what does this guy mean by putting his pocket watch next to his pillow
Chi Nan held the cold pocket watch in a daze for a moment, and the doorbell suddenly rang again. He thought it was You Yu who turned around and took the dropped watch, so he jumped out of the quilt and hurried over to open the door.
"Your watch fell..."
The person standing outside the door was black tea. He was completely awake now, scratching his head in embarrassment and saying to Chi Nan, "I'm sorry... I drank too much last night... The drunkenness scare you? "
Chi Nan put You Yu's watch in his pocket: "No, you just kept crying and didn't do anything scary."
Hei Cha: "..." This young master really isn't very comforting.
Hei Cha probed into the room to look left and right, and he was relieved after confirming that the abominable dream-maker was not in the room: "I made a mess of your house last night, you are not good at cleaning up, I will..."
"It's already cleaned up." Chi Nan opened the door and let him in, only then did Hei Cha realize that the house was completely new.
He blurted out a lie: "Did the dream maker clean up?"
Chi Nan: "Probably, I fell asleep."
Hei Cha glanced at him secretly: "Did that guy really spend the night here last night?"
Chi Nan nodded truthfully: "What's wrong?"
The corners of Hei Cha's lips twitched, but he swallowed the words before he could say anything. He snorted for a moment and said, "If that guy bullies you in the future, you must find a way to tell me, such as dreaming or something... I will teach people a lesson. already."
Chi Nan felt that the black tea friend was righteous and sincere, so he nodded obediently: "Okay, thank you."
After talking about the dark tea, he cocked his head and kept scratching his neck: "And what I said last night while I was drinking... I'm about to fulfill my wish to go out... It's not drunk... Maybe it's these two days... I asked the system ...it says it can only stay up to a week after the wish is redeemed so ... now there are only two days left."
As he spoke, Black Tea's eyes turned red again.
His wish is to be able to support himself by being an anchor, so that he can bid farewell to the workplace and his status as a social animal forever.
The wish is not big, it can be exchanged with a few hundred favorability points. After he goes out, he can live by his interests. It should be a happy thing, but the most unbearable thing in his life is parting. When he arrived at Chi Nan, he couldn't control his sadness and tears.
Chi Nan was really happy for him: "then let's celebrate these two days."
Hei Cha pouted his lips and held back his tears, smiled ugly and said, "Okay, my barbecue skills are good, this time you and Tang Yu can eat enough..."
After a pause, he scratched his head apologetically and said, "I promise not to drink too much this time."
So in the next two days, the uninhabited north three districts of Zicheng were full of life fireworks, and the three of them almost forgot that they had just come out of the nightmare of nine deaths and lived a fairy life like a vacation.
The cooking skills of dark tea are more and more amazing. Tang Yu silently planned to make a wish that he would not gain weight no matter how he eats, and suggested that after dark tea goes out, he can develop in the direction of food bloggers. After all, the food area is easier to receive advertisements and earn armor square money.
Black Tea sat on the rooftop fence and drank iced soda, thinking about the good days of returning to reality and red eyes.
"There was an old sleepwalker last time. He told us that after leaving the nightmare world, his memory about this place will be erased." Hei Cha's voice was not fluctuating, as if he was talking about everyday things, but he pinched it. The hand of the soda can was involuntarily exerting force, "If what he said is true, I may not remember you, what should I do?"
Just like a dream, it is difficult for us to know when the dream started and where it broke. Many times we wake up and vaguely remember that we had a dream, but we can’t remember exactly what we dreamed about.
Tang Yu didn't speak, Chi Nan fiddled with the charcoal fire under the grill: "I will definitely remember, I will find you and tell you later."
Hei Cha smiled: "You are still five figures away from your favorability rating, when will you be able to go out?"
Chi Nan did the math seriously: "It should be possible within ten years."
The single dog Hei Cha muttered: "...Really, my children were all grown up at that time."
The three suddenly fell silent, except for the occasional slight crackling of the charcoal fire.
Hei Cha suddenly asked, "Chi Nan, don't you actually... don't want to go out?"
Chi Nan's expression froze for a moment, then nodded for a moment: "Well."
Hei Cha grinned and touched his nose in confusion: "I always have a feeling that you are different from us, as if... you belong here..."
"It's not... I don't know how to describe it..." Hei Cha rubbed his hair irritably, "Forget it, you've even found someone with an account in Nightmare World. I dare to expect you to go out."
Chi Nan: "Object? Hukou?"
Black Tea: "Huh."
Just after he snorted coldly, tears came down. He hurriedly drank the soda in his hand and threw it into the trash can.
He didn't fall asleep that night. He dug out a box of white paper that had been brought back from the convenience store and wrote quickly. He didn't stop writing until the hour hand pointed to six o'clock.
There is no sunrise or sunset in Zicheng, and it will always sink in the deepest part of the night, but Black Tea knows that the next day has come, and it is time for him to leave.
Dark Tea gently opened the door of 205, and said silently to 206 and 207: "Goodbye, there will be a future."
Without any luggage, he waved his hand and turned to leave this absurd city.
When Chi Nan woke up, there was a huge cardboard box outside his door. After opening it, it was full of handwritten talismans. Some of the ink was still not dry, and his fingertips were stained red when he flipped through it.
He touched the talismans left by the black tea one by one, and carefully put them all into the house.
People who leave the nightmare world never leave a trace. The black tea dormitory is kept clean, and the door is locked in the morning.
Chi Nan gently knocked on the door of 205, and said to the dormitory that was already empty: "Thank you."
On the same day, Chi Nan received an anonymous photo of a road that spreads infinitely in the wilderness.
There is a car driving on the road with the license plate number "EM00404".
He knew that this was an invitation to the next nightmare.
