Zhuang Baihua leaned back in his chair, holding something in his hand, staring blankly, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Chi Yue leaned over and asked casually, "What are you looking at?"
As soon as he asked the question, he saw that Zhuang Baihua was holding a pair of rings, and his face darkened.
"Why keep it? Just throw it away." Chi Yue said coldly.
The pair of rings were the original belongings that were placed in the safe. Zhuang Baihua held up the rings and said to Chi Yue solemnly, "You recognize them."
The two rings had been lying in the deepest part of the safe until Zhuang Baihua remembered the password and brought them to light. Zhuang Baihua never mentioned this to Chi Yue, but Chi Yue recognized the rings, indicating that she had seen them before.
There is only one possibility, that is, during Chi Yue's previous lives, Yuanyi had given the ring to Chi Yue.
Chi Yue looked away and said, "I lost it when I turned around."
"No matter what, he cares about you. He is the only one who thinks of buying you a ring." Zhuang Baihua half-jokingly and half-testingly raised his eyes to look at Chi Yue.
Zhuang Baihua always felt that although the original book did not confirm the official match, he was the most promising one because he had the most scenes, and judging from the content of the original book, the president had a deep preference for him in the plot.
Chi Yue listened indifferently: "He bought this ring before he met me. He just hoped that someone would save him in the future." He sneered, "Obviously that person is not me."
Originally, she placed her hopes on Chi Yue, hoping that he could save her from the darkness, so she gave the ring to Chi Yue.
The feeling of only knowing how to take without knowing how to give is too heavy, not to mention that it also hurt Chi Yue.
Zhuang Baihua realized that it was inappropriate to joke about this matter, and said seriously: "I have always wondered about one question, where did the original Zhuang Baihua go?"
He traveled through time and became the new president, so what about the previous domineering president? According to the logic of the original book, it is unlikely that the original Zhuang Baihua disappeared out of thin air.
Zhuang Baihua always remembers the dreams he had, which were half real and half fake, and very confusing.
Chi Yue finally got rid of the shadow of those crazy things. She didn't want to talk about it. She just said, "Let him die. Just throw the things away as soon as possible."
In the end, Zhuang Baihua still did not get rid of the ring. After all, it was proof that the original object once existed in this world.
Perhaps he dreamed at night what he thought about during the day, and when he slept at night, he had another wonderful dream.
He dreamed about things in the original world.
Familiar community, familiar workplace, Zhuang Baihua is filled with emotion, wondering if his parents are doing well now.
Soon Zhuang Baihua discovered something was wrong.
He couldn't talk to his colleagues and community residents and could only be a bystander like he had dreamed of Chi Yue before.
This is a very novel experience.
As Zhuang Baihua's dream deepened, he felt more relaxed. He looked calmly at his former unit and colleagues until he saw another him sitting in his boss's office.
Same figure, same face, the only difference is the expression. Zhuang Baihua is always smiling, while the person sitting in his seat has a stern face, looks very impatient and a little arrogant.
Zhuang Baihua was very shocked.
The man supported his chin, looked at the document in front of him, frowned, and made comments on the document.
After a while, a colleague came in and said to the man, "Ren, I'll get the materials."
The man collected the papers on the table and stuffed them into his colleague's hand, saying, "It's already been done."
A colleague looked at it and said, "Ren, you have obviously organized everything very well, why do you always look like someone owes you money?"
The man lifted his eyelids and said with a straight face: "Do your own thing."
The colleague curled his lips and left with the documents.
Zhuang Baihua was speechless. How could he have such a bad temper? He should treat his comrades as warmly as spring.
When the man saw his colleague leave, he continued to work. Although his attitude was very bad, he worked efficiently and clearly, and Zhuang Baihua could not find any mistakes.
During lunch break, the man walked out of the office, rejected his colleague's invitation to have lunch together, went around to the back of the office, found an open space, and sat on the steps to smoke.
Zhuang Baihua confirmed once again that although this person looked exactly like him, he was not him because he never smoked.
The man was holding a cigarette in an elegant posture, with a frown and a distant gaze, looking a little lonely.
The way he smoked reminded Zhuang Baihua of Luo Zhenduo when he was drinking. Both of them used gentlemanly postures to do the most indulgent and most harmful things to their health.
As the smoke curled up in the air, he cursed: "Cheap cigarettes are rotten."
Zhuang Baihua thought that this person was very picky.
Zhuang Baihua's dreams always revolve around this person. His colleagues are a little afraid of him because he has a bad temper and doesn't take others seriously.
Even the leaders of the neighborhood office came to talk to him, asking him if something happened at home and why he was acting so abnormally recently.
This person is dissatisfied with everything, but fortunately he is polite to his leader and takes his work seriously. However, he cannot hide his arrogance and feels superior.
Zhuang Baihua confirmed it.
The person in the dream is the original.
It is not Song Yu's split personality, but the domineering CEO in the original book world, another Zhuang Baihua.
For some reason, it turned out to appear in his dreams, just like traveling from a book to this world.
Zhuang Baihua thought about it and wondered, does this mean that they had swapped places
He became the president of the novel world, and Yuan became the president of the original world.
Zhuang Baihua was worried. He was afraid that Yuan Xi had no ideological awareness and would cause trouble in the community.
After all, he is one of the paranoid bosses. To some extent, his brain is physically abnormal. He lost his company and wealth and became the leader of a small community. There are many trivial matters in the community. Does he have enough patience to deal with them
This dream made people feel complicated. Zhuang Baihua was reluctant to wake up and chose to continue observing.
Zhuang Baihua discovered that the original person did not give up the challenge. Although his attitude was not very good, he was still able to handle the procrastination patiently. However, his handling method was very rough, which attracted many complaints.
The leader could only continue to talk to him and ask him to restrain himself.
"You have been very active in your work recently, which is worthy of recognition, but you must be careful about your attitude and not let the masses feel dissatisfied."
Zhuang Baihua was stunned by the leader’s words.
Originally, he was ambitious in his career and was not satisfied with just being a grassroots civil servant.
Zhuang Baihua became even more worried.
It turned out that Wu Wutian had treated Chi Yue very unfairly before. How could such a person serve others
On the weekend, my mother called and asked me to go out for dinner.
"You haven't come back to visit for a long time. Have you forgotten your parents?" the mother complained. "And you said before that you would bring your wife back, but why haven't you done anything?"
Yuan Xi said calmly: "I don't have a wife, we broke up."
Zhuang Baihua was speechless. The timeline in the dream was so confusing. How could it be connected to what happened when he was unconscious
The mother was choked when she heard this answer. They loved each other so much at the beginning, so how could they break up so suddenly
The world of young people is so complicated and my heart is so tired that I don’t want to care about it anymore. My mother told Yuan Xi to go back for dinner and then hung up the phone.
Originally, Zhuang Baihua thought that he would ignore his parents, but unexpectedly, he set out for his hometown and even bought a bottle of wine and some fruits on the way.
When we arrived at my parents' house, their attitude was a bit distant, but still polite and courteous.
Zhuang Baihua was becoming more and more confused about this person. Logically speaking, a domineering CEO should be arrogant and look down on everyone, but the original idea in the dream did not seem to be that extreme.
Even the domineering personality that Song Yu split out of is more like a paranoid boss than the original one.
It turned out that he not only had dinner with his parents, but also stayed to watch TV with them. What he watched was a TV series about poverty alleviation. The three of them sat on the sofa, and the atmosphere was subtly harmonious.
Three generations of Lao Zhuang's family all have red genes. Lao Zhuang and his wife were watching TV with tears in their eyes, while Yuan was sitting next to them with a calm expression.
Zhuang Baihua thought this dream was too weird. The paranoid and domineering CEO actually accompanied his parents to watch the battle against poverty. It was simply magical.
After watching TV, my father said to my wife earnestly: "The country has invested so much, and so many cadres are fighting on the front line. You must do better than what you see on TV, understand?"
Yuan didn't answer, just stared at his father.
His father gave him a few words of advice, then went to the study and took out some books and stuffed them into Yuanxi's pockets, asking him to go back and read them carefully. His father had this problem, and he knew all the books in his study by heart, and he would take them out from time to time.
Zhuang Baihua looked at it, but he hadn't read it before. He took the book and said he would return it after reading it.
"You've been acting a little strange lately." Seeing how cooperative he was, his father looked at him oddly. "I heard that you were in contact with the district leaders. Do you have any intentions?"
Asking this question was like making it clear, but Yuan Xi didn't say anything.
The father did not criticize or encourage me. He just said: "No matter what you want, I just hope that you will not forget to look back at the people in the community from time to time when doing anything, so that you will not go astray."
After a long pause, the original man said, "I know."
Before the husband left, his mother asked him indirectly about his daughter-in-law. The husband again said that there was no such person as a daughter-in-law, which disappointed his mother.
What Zhuang Baihua cares about most is his parents. Now that his parents are well, he has nothing to say.
No matter what the original purpose is, just be filial to your parents on the surface.
Yuan returned to his own home. Zhuang Baihua's room was naturally not as big as the president's apartment. It was already very late, so Yuan washed up and lay down on the bed to sleep.
Zhuang Baihua found that he had no light.
Not oblivious, but intentional.
Zhuang Baihua recalled his original psychological trauma and his original fear of the dark.
Zhuang Baihua looked at the face on the bed that looked like his own and sighed quietly in his heart.
I don’t know if the original master was furious when he traveled through time, but at least he looks quite calm now.
Yuan made a choice, he chose to accept a new life.
Zhuang Baihua felt relieved and thought it was time to wake up from this dream. At this moment, the man who should have been asleep suddenly opened his eyes, which scared Zhuang Baihua.
He got up from the bed, walked to the bookshelf beside him, and took out a book.
…It’s the one called “Five Paranoid Bosses All Want to Monopolize Me”.
Zhuang Baihua had forgotten that he had brought the book back. It turned out that he would naturally see it, so he knew that he had once been a person in the book.
He lay back down and put the book next to his pillow. This time he turned on the light.
The appearance of the world made him feel stable and peaceful, which was enough to overcome the fear brought by the darkness.
Zhuang Baihua smiled silently.
He suddenly had an idea. This was a dream, and everything was possible. He wanted to leave something for the original.
When Yuan woke up the next day, his first reaction was to touch the book next to his pillow and found that the book was still loose. At the same time, he saw something black on the cover.
The two rings lay on the bookcase, shining brightly.
Zhuang Baihua opened his eyes and saw Chi Yue leaning her head against his chest and looking at him.
"What's wrong?" Zhuang Baihua asked in a hoarse and lazy voice.
Chi Yue squinted her eyes and said, "Did you have a good dream? Your expression was good when you were asleep."
Zhuang Baihua thought about it, but couldn't decide whether the dream was good or bad. He just said, "Let me check it first."
He got up from the bed, walked to the cupboard, and took out a velvet box.
Zhuang Baihua opened the box and the ring inside was gone.
Chi Yue followed behind him and saw this scene. She was puzzled, but she remained calm on the surface and said, "Where is the thing? You finally lost it."
Zhuang Baihua smiled and said, "They are not lost, they just returned to their original owners."
I hope that this time I can learn how to love someone.
