Dong Ge, who had put on his coat, came out of the infirmary and sat beside He Changsheng.
The snow-white light came down from directly above, reflecting the person's face white.
Sensing the figure beside him, He Changsheng cheered up: "Your injury is fine..."
Before he could finish his question, Dong Ge pulled up the hood of He Changsheng's down jacket, covered his head, and pressed his head slightly hard, making him lean on his shoulders.
He Changsheng was a little stunned, struggling to get up: "Winter Song..."
Dong Ge's voice was a little warmer, not as cold as in the past: "It's okay to hurt. Look, you can still hug Senior."
He Changsheng stopped struggling and leaned on Dong Ge's shoulder obediently.
The overtime police officers passing by couldn't help but look at them more, but neither of them paid much attention to the gazes of others.
Dongge called him softly, "Senior."
Leaning on someone three and a half years younger than him, and smelling the faint scent of ice and snow on his body, He Changsheng turned out to be extraordinarily at ease.
He Changsheng said in a hoarse voice, "Dongge, Brother Lou, he was not like this before."
Before the police arrived, they had heard the cause and effect of the incident from the terrified gangsters.
They have suffered so much, how dare they hide it again, weep bitterly, and give up everything one by one.
He Changsheng asked Dongge, "He saved me from someone else before. Why is he like this now."
Winter Song said nothing.
Whether it's Dongge or Chi Xiaochi, they've all experienced this kind of pain to the point where they can only ask "why". Adding fuel and vinegar to the ground at this time made He Changsheng uncomfortable.
So, he didn't say a word, just gently stroked He Changsheng's neck through a layer of soft down, like comforting a helpless kitten.
The two young figures sitting side by side supported each other and thought a lot about each other.
As soon as he hugged He Changsheng, Chi Xiaochi got goosebumps all over.
061 was a little worried about him: "Don't force yourself."
Chi Xiaochi said in a relaxed tone: "It's okay, coax the child. It's best to hold it in your arms."
061: "..." Alas.
He transferred part of his consciousness to Chi Xiaochi's coat, and hugged his whole body from behind.
Probably because the heating was turned on too much, Chi Xiaochi felt warm on his body, so warm that he almost wanted to fall asleep.
Mother Dong went to bed early, and Dong Ge was afraid that she would be worried, so she did not contact her by phone. She only sent a text message to clarify the situation and tell her not to worry.
When Mom Dong woke up the next day, she almost went crazy when she saw the news. She dragged Dad Dong and rushed to the police station, just waiting for Dong Feihong, who had finished writing the transcript, to come out of the police station one by one.
Mother Dong rushed over, pulled Dong Ge and touched her face and arms, and checked it carefully from beginning to end.
Dong Ge was not used to it and struggled shyly: "Mom, Mom, I'm really fine. It's just that I can't do sit-ups for a while."
After confirming that her son was not in serious trouble, Mother Dong slapped her with a neat slap: "Sit-ups are your size. During this time, lie on your back for me, and hit you once every time you sit up."
Winter Song: "… "
As soon as Mother Dong turned her back, He Changsheng immediately stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Dong Ge's head.
Dong Feihong reached out and called for two taxis: "My car is near the KTV, so don't rush to pick it up. Let's go home first, Xiaoge and Changsheng haven't had breakfast yet."
Dong Ma, Dong Dad and Dong Ge have one, Dong Feihong and He Changsheng have one.
After the car started, He Changsheng asked while fastening his seat belt, "How does Uncle know that we are in this KTV?"
Dong Feihong's hand on the seat belt paused slightly.
061 can't say that he was afraid that Chi Xiaochi would be injured when he went back, so he directly digitized "Dong Feihong", and even the car was moved afterward.
Fortunately, the firewall of the monitoring system in this small county is not tight enough. On the way from the ice rink to the KTV, 061 detected 17 cameras that could be used, so he fabricated a whole driving video, covering all the cameras on the road to avoid The police investigated the problem afterwards.
With a "click", he pushed the latch of the seat belt into the slot, and said calmly: "Mother Dongge is worried that it will not be safe for Dongge to come back so late, and asked me to wait for the door. I lost Dongge’s phone once before. Later, I set up a security binding with Dongge’s phone, so I can locate the location of his phone.”
He Changsheng just asked casually, and this answer was not easy to pick out at first glance, so he nodded obediently and said, "En."
But 061 began to feel uneasy.
With Chi Xiaochi's carefulness, it is impossible not to notice this omission.
What made him even more uneasy was that until Lou Sifan woke up in the hospital, Chi Xiaochi didn't ask Dong Feihong how he found them.
Lou Sifan fainted for more than a day.
When he woke up, in the incomparably severe pain, everyone said to him, take a good rest, your injury is not serious, you can recover.
But when Lou Sifan asked anxiously whether it would affect his skating and leave any sequelae, everyone was evasive and avoided talking about it.
Lou Sifan felt panic.
What made him panic even more was that He Changsheng had never come to visit him.
On the third day of admission, Lou Sifan's coach came.
The always-hot-tempered coach didn't point at his nose and scolded him, but sat quietly for a while, chatting with him about his experiences during the Chinese New Year, and talking about places suitable for travel and recuperation, so calm that Lou Sifan I want to bang my head against the wall.
Lou Sifan has had a heart hanging in his throat for the past few days, his eyes are red, and his nerves are so intense, how can he still control this situation now.
He grabbed the coach and asked, "What's wrong with me, coach? They're not telling me the truth. You're here, tell me..."
Coach, you scold me, why don't you scold me
The coach was entrusted by Lou Sifan's parents to inform him of the news. Looking at himself, the most proud student, he could only let out a long sigh: "...a comminuted knee fracture. There's still a chance to get on the ice."
Lou Sifan was completely stunned.
It was not until the coach left the ward and met the Lou parents who were waiting outside that he heard movement in the ward.
Lou Sifan grabbed his hair and screamed one after another, his voice piercing like vomiting.
Lou's family filed into the ward and surrounded Lou Sifan, but no amount of comfort would be useless to Lou Sifan now.
Gradually, his strength was exhausted, and he could no longer cry out, only mourning and weeping.
He Changsheng, who happened to come to visit on this day, stood outside the chaotic ward, watched silently for a while, put down the fruit basket at the door, and immediately turned to leave.
... He knew Lou Sifan's feelings, but things had developed to such an extent that He Changsheng could no longer give this former friend any dignity and tenderness.
Goodbye is already the best choice.
The nature of this incident of hiring and hurting people is extremely bad, firstly because of the long-term planning, and secondly because of the serious consequences.
But for the Lou family, this incident was embarrassing and unusual:
Lou Siyun's subordinates were ordered to beat Dongge and wanted him to have a leg. As a result, a flood of water rushed to the Dragon King Temple, and he recognized the wrong person, and the one who was beaten became Lou Sifan.
For this matter, will the Lou family pursue it or not
It turns out that the Lou family's opinion doesn't matter at all.
Thin Monkey and Huang Mao were both detained, and those who were beaten up and were beaten one by one, in order to clear themselves, had no choice but to push their responsibilities upward, saying that they were instructed and persecuted.
... biting each other, chicken feathers all over the place.
Dong Ge and He Changsheng did not intend to continue mixing in this muddy water.
Their mental strength is limited, and they really shouldn't waste it on this kind of thing.
After the fifteenth day, Dongge's injury recovered, and the two returned to the provincial capital by train to prepare for training in Finland.
And three days before Dongge left, Dong Feihong also left.
Dong Feihong's luggage is very simple, just a suitcase.
After he had prepared everything, he turned around and asked Chi Xiaochi, who had been watching him packing his luggage, "What would you like to eat for your last meal together before going abroad?"
Chi Xiaochi asked, "You can eat whatever you want?"
Dong Feihong smiled: "You can eat whatever you want." Whether it's Australian lobster, abalone fin belly, or the stovetop fish they ate when they first met.
Chi Xiaochi said, "I want to eat noodles with eggs and pork."
Dong Feihong was slightly surprised: "Just want to eat this?"
Chi Xiaochi: "This is good."
Dong Feihong passed through the skin and made contact with Chi Xiaochi's clear eyes for a moment, only to feel that his heart was numb and soft, and there was no reason to refuse: "Okay."
For formality, he made hand-rolled noodles.
The wheat-scented dough was taken out of the white china basin when it woke up just right, and was rolled out as thin as paper.
Dong Feihong also cut shredded ham, shredded beef and shredded chicken to ensure a wide variety and fresh taste.
He turned on the fire, and when the water boiled, he asked Chi Xiaochi, "Would you like to eat loose eggs or whole eggs?"
Chi Xiaochi has been tucked behind him like a small tail, and the answer is smooth: "It's whole. Poached eggs."
Dong Feihong nodded, took out two fresh eggs from the refrigerator and knocked them directly into the pot.
After cracking the second egg, Dong Feihong took a closer look: "Ah, Shuanghuang."
The people behind him were silent for a moment, then smiled: "Uncle is really amazing."
Dong Feihong burst into laughter and replied naturally, "What a great thing. I didn't order it."
After speaking, the two looked at each other.
The young man stared at him very seriously, his eyes seemed to carry a subtle electric current, which made Dong Feihong's cheeks feel hot.
He just thought that he was hit by the heat, and pushed Chi Xiaochi with his hand: "Okay, it's too hot here. Go out and wait, the meal will be ready soon."
He said right away, right away.
In less than ten minutes, the shredded egg noodles were served.
The soup noodles are served in a wide-mouth sea bowl. The hand-rolled noodles are cut into even thicknesses and silky threads. The clear soup is sprinkled with a handful of green minced green onions. Ham, beef and chicken shreds are lively and crowded. In a bowl, it is beautifully placed.
Chi Xiaochi used chopsticks to open the noodles and counted, Dong Feihong's bowl contained an egg, and in his own bowl, there was an egg lying on top and an egg buried underneath.
He scooped a spoonful of soup and drank it.
Dong Feihong asked him, "Is it delicious?"
Chi Xiaochi said, "It's delicious."
Dong Feihong nodded. After the uncle and nephew happily finished a meal, Chi Xiaochi washed the dishes, and Dong Feihong continued to tidy up the things at home.
Neither of the two took the initiative to mention the upcoming separation the next day, but the separation will come eventually.
The next morning, he and He Changsheng took Dong Feihong to the airport together.
Dong Feihong wore the coat he wore when he first met Dong Ge, stroked Dong Ge's hair gently, and said gently, "I'm afraid my uncle will be very busy after he goes abroad, so he won't be able to see you all the time."
Dong Ge nodded slightly, but his eyes stared straight at Dong Feihong, as if to burn his image into his eyes.
Dong Feihong took out a book from his carry-on bag and stuffed it into Dong Ge's arms: "This is the gift my uncle promised you. You keep it."
It was a beautifully framed comic book.
The name of the manga is "Winter Song".
After handing this long-prepared gift to Dongge, Dong Feihong carried his luggage, turned around and walked into the passenger passage.
He Changsheng took over the comic and opened it.
The story was very simple. It started with a child who entered a sports school and practiced figure skating, and encountered school violence in the toilet. The child solves the difficulties, develops step by step, and finally reaches the peak.
It's more of a hand-drawn album than a comic with a plot.
It has few dialogues, records simple stories, moments of life, records Dongge's graceful back in the dance studio, as well as his falling and standing up again and again.
On the title page of the comic is an unsigned message: "To those who deserve this book."
He Changsheng flipped through the comics, his face full of envy.
And Dong Ge's expression is also quite soft, and there is a touching smile on the corner of his mouth.
Not long after, Dong Feihong's plane was ready to take off.
The flight attendant walked through the aisle and reminded passengers to fasten their seat belts one by one.
When walking to one of the rows, the flight attendant saw that a window seat was vacant and thought that the person sitting here had gone to the toilet, so she politely asked the passenger next to her: "Is this your companion's seat?"
The passenger shook his head: "I'm on a business trip alone. This place is empty, no one sits."
The flight attendant was a little surprised, and looked down to check the manual counter, and found that there was indeed no one sitting in this position.
… but she clearly remembered that the cabin was full.
Just in case, she found the purser and reported the incident to her.
The purser checked the passenger list and gave a positive answer: "Yes, there is no one in that position."
The moment Lou Sifan wakes up, the system prompts that the remorse is full and the host can withdraw from this world.
Since Dong Feihong has gone abroad, Chi Xiaochi also needs to choose a suitable time to leave.
Three days later, the figure skating team boarded a plane to Finland.
According to the arrangement, Dong Ge should sit with Liang Xiao, and He Changsheng should sit with Fang Xiaoyan. Who would have thought that as soon as they got on the plane, Fang Xiaoyan took away He Changsheng's ticket and exchanged it with Liang Xiao's ticket.
He Changsheng: "... huh?"
Fang Xiaoyan was familiar with it as always: "Hmm, what? It's changed. Xiao, let's sit down."
The corners of Liang Xiao's mouth curled up: "Okay."
He Changsheng took the ticket that was exchanged in seconds, looked at the face of the ticket, and then looked at Dong Ge who was already seated and was swiping his mobile phone, his cheeks were slightly red.
He put his small bag next to Dongge and coughed.
Dongge turned to look at him.
He Changsheng said, "I'm sitting here."
Winter Song: "Sit."
He Changsheng especially said that there are no silver 300 taels here: "...Xiaoyan let me sit."
Dongge looked into his eyes: "Then do you want me and Liang Xiao to change too."
He Changsheng immediately said, "No."
After speaking, he was a little unwell, and quickly stood up with a blushing face: "I'm going to the bathroom."
Winter Song: "Yeah."
He Changsheng took two steps, then fell back and demanded, "Don't change."
Dongge smiled slightly: "Okay. Listen to the seniors, don't change."
Watching He Changsheng leave, Dong Ge lowered his head again, typed out his unedited text message, and sent it out: "Uncle, I'm on the plane, I'm going to turn it off."
Dong Feihong's message came back quickly: "The journey is smooth sailing."
Looking at the words "smooth the journey", Chi Xiaochi burst into a small smile in a place where no one was there.
061 faintly: "...are you so happy?"
Chi Xiaochi didn't answer this sentence. After turning off the phone, he said, "Teacher Six, stop the function of the accelerator card. Let's go."
The plane took off and after leaving the country, Fang Xiaoyan, who came back from the bathroom, passed by Dong He and the two of them and took a gossip peek.
After all, since the two returned to the provincial team after the new year, the aura of spring blossoms on their bodies was not right.
Whoever wanted to glance over, she was taken aback and grabbed the shoulder of He Changsheng who was reading a sports magazine: "What's wrong with Dongge?"
As soon as Dongge got on the plane, he asked for a blanket and said that he was sleepy, but He Changsheng didn't think much about it.
After being reminded by Fang Xiaoyan, He Changsheng looked at Dong Ge, and was shocked to find that his cheeks were red, his breathing was fast, and his hands that were exposed outside the blanket were burning and trembling.
He panicked: "... Winter Song?! Winter Song!!"
He grabbed Dongge's palm with all his strength and called his name.
... As long as he was with Dongge, He Changsheng would never forget to wear gloves.
Hearing the sound, Dong Ge's eyelids moved slightly, and she tried to open her eyes a little bit.
The figure of the person in front of him was completely blurred, but Dongge vaguely recognized who he was in the high fever.
With all his strength, he squeezed He Changsheng's soft fingers: "...Senior, don't be afraid."
At this time, Chi Xiaochi, who had left Dongge's body, had once again entered the snow-white space to rest.
This time he volunteered: "I want to find a place to rest for a while."
061 nodded.
This is normal.
Chi Xiaochi spent seven full years in the third world. Even if he replaced the advanced time compression card in the later stage, according to the normal time flow rate, nearly a year had passed.
This can be regarded as the longest world that 061 has ever experienced, not to mention that Chi Xiaochi is a human being, and it may take more time for him to get out of the role of "Winter Song".
He asked, "How long are you going to rest?"
Chi Xiaochi said, "Three days."
061 frowned: "It's too short."
Chi Xiaochi said the same thing again: "I'm going back in a hurry."
He had heard this sentence many times, but this time, when he heard it, 061 felt inexplicably aggrieved.
In order to divert his attention, he asked Chi Xiaochi, "Where do you want to rest?"
Chi Xiaochi reported a location accurate to the house number, and added: "...in the world I came from."
Because it is a location with too clear direction, it took 061 some time to retrieve and locate it.
All the teleportation places leading from the rest point are projections of the real world.
When the host enters the world, the system will correct its appearance, so there is no need to worry about someone familiar with the host bumping into the host, causing a series of subsequent troubles.
The building in front of him was empty, quiet, and desolate. It seemed that there was no need for 061 to make any appearance corrections to Chi Xiaochi.
Before Chi Xiaochi stepped out of the space, he said, "Go ahead."
He still remembered that 061 said that when the host rested, the system would be separated from the host. Because it is not in the mission world, the capabilities of the system will be greatly limited and weakened to the extreme.
061 said: "Just in case, I still made a face correction for you and put some money in your pocket. If you want to go out, just go out."
Chi Xiaochi touched his pocket.
Inside is a bank card with the password written on the back of the card.
Chi Xiaochi: "How much?"
061: "Three hundred thousand."
Chi Xiaochi admired 061's cognition of "some": "Wow."
061 didn't dare to look directly at the strong reluctance in his heart: "...otherwise I'll go with you."
Chi Xiaochi's eyes blinked, and he was quite agitated: "Why, you can't bear me."
061 adjusted his mentality: "...it's okay, you can go."
Chi Xiaochi was about to enter the space, but withdrew his steps: "Hey, how do I get back."
061 said: "Call me in your head if you have something. When do you call me, when will I send you back."
After handing over everything, Chi Xiaochi entered his world.
And 061 closed his eyes.
The next second, he re-stands in the main god space in the image of white clothes and black pants.
There are busy systems around, but 061 feels empty in his heart. He has something he wants to say to someone, but that person is not around.
At this moment, 089 came towards him, as if he was talking to someone.
At first sight of this face, 061 was instinctively a little angry.
But as soon as 089 opened his mouth, he pulled 061 out of his inexplicable emotions: "I'm fucking that host 897!"
After finishing his concluding remarks, he strode up to 061, his anger still lingering: "Are you back?"
061 asked: "What's wrong?"
089 was so angry that his cheeks turned white, and he opened his mouth: "That idiot of Host 897..."
061 sighed angrily and funny: "Don't be too emotional, be careful of being complained."
089: "The idiot of Host 897. He lived too beautifully in the sixth world and refused to come back."
061: "...he fell in love with the target?"
This phenomenon 061 is commonplace. When the systems occasionally gather to complain about the strange hosts, this reason for complaining has been at the top of the list all the year round.
089 said: "... I fell in love with someone who had nothing to do with the target of the task. At the beginning, I was just sabotage, and now I have completely ignored the target of the task."
In this case, the system also has countermeasures.
061 asked: "Then let him forcibly escape?"
The term "forced escape" was originally a common word between systems, but since Chi Xiaochi mentioned that the original owner might exist in the host, 061 felt a little disgusted when he said it again.
Forced escape means that the system obtains the over-level authorization of the main god, controls the host to commit suicide, and then pulls the host's consciousness away.
Previously, 061 thought it was a means of punishment.
… but why must “control the host to commit suicide” as a punishment? Is it not possible to directly pull away and let the punishment act on the host's spiritual body
089 said to himself: "What can I do if I don't force him to get out? Could it be that he should fall in love in that world and talk about how old it is?"
061 did not speak again.
He remembered Chi Xiaochi and Chi Xiaochi's rather unusual attitude towards "Dong Feihong".
... if he wanted to stay in that world.
At that time, I will stay with him...
061 was startled by this thought, but he smiled in relief immediately.
- Koike is the most determined person among the hosts he has brought, and should not be shaken.
However, he couldn't explain at all, where the discomfort and entanglement in his heart at the moment came from.
And at the same time.
Chi Xiaochi took a broom by himself and cleaned the empty package.
In the whole building, there were only the sound of his footsteps and the sound of brushing the floor.
The bamboo broom made contact with the ground, sweeping out linear dust trails.
Chi Xiaochi's expression was very serious, as if he was doing a very important job.
Since many years ago, the entire building has been the property of Chi Xiaochi.
All the residents have moved out, and only Chi Xiaochi is left, so which room you want to live in is entirely up to Chi Xiaochi's wishes.
After silently scanning the whole building, he walked back to the first floor, took out the spare key from the small flower pot placed in the security window, opened the room where Lou Ying lived, and walked in.
It was summer when he had an accident, and now more than a year has passed, and it is the middle of winter, and the house is very cold.
Fortunately, 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 channels, and found that "The Matrix" was actually playing on the movie channel.
Chi Xiaochi wrapped the blanket tightly and rewatched the movie he had seen countless times.
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 stable, but in the real world, his life is unsatisfactory, and he is not much different from a pig.
In the real world, there is a rebel army hiding in the depths of the earth to fight against the mastermind.
They don't want to go back to that false spiritual world, they prefer to stay in the cruel reality.
At this time, someone gave the protagonist a blue pill and a red pill.
The man told him, take the blue pill and you will forget everything you see in reality, wake up the next day and work as usual.
And after eating the red pill, the protagonist will get nothing, the only thing he gets is the truth.
In the movie, the protagonist chooses to take the red pill.
Chi Xiaochi stared at the screen intently, recalling how he felt when he first watched this movie.
He asked Lou Ying: "Brother Lou, if something looks real and feels real, why can't it be real?"
And this question, even Lou Ying couldn't give him the answer.
In the same way, Dong Feihong looks so much like Brother Lou, and his character is also like Brother Lou, and everything is so similar, so why can't he be real
"Mr Anderson..." Chi Xiaochi curled up in the warm blanket, murmuring his lines in a low voice, "...Why?"
After many years, Chi Xiaochi finally found the answer he couldn't find many years ago.
…because none of this is true.
No matter how good Dong Feihong is, he doesn't belong to his brother Lou.
In a world without Lou Ying, he would not go anywhere.
