Ruan Mingchi took the last bus, and it was already dark when he came back.
He came out of the subway station, hot and hungry, behind the bright floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides of the street, there were diners enjoying the air-conditioning, Ruan Mingchi pressed his stomach, and swallowed the saliva surging in his mouth.
Very hungry and thirsty, he hasn't had a drop of water since noon.
However, I can't afford it.
Today I spent too much money going home and back. I don’t know if there will be extra expenses when I go to City A. I can only keep reminding myself that there are two small buns left in the dormitory. Milk, should last until tomorrow morning.
But Ruan Mingchi was dizzy after walking a short distance, as if every step he took was suffering.
He pursed his stubborn lips, rubbed his blurry eyes, and saw the young man walking under the streetlight in front of him.
The man between the teenager and youth stages has reached 1.8 meters tall, and he is tall and thin, standing out from the crowd, especially those eyes, Ruan Mingchi can see the light in those eyes from so far away.
Like the stars in midsummer.
Ruan Mingchi wanted to compare, but when he looked up at the sky, he found that the starlight was swallowed up by the lights, only the person walking towards him was so eye-catching.
Ji Hao came to stand in front of him, seemingly surprised: "Why are you here?"
Ruan Mingchi pursed his dry white lips, suppressed the saliva in his mouth, and let out a "hmm".
Ji Hao said: "Let's go back together, just wait for me."
Before Ruan Mingchi refused, Ji Hao had already walked into the bakery not far away, the sweet smell of bread wafted out of the opened door, and Ruan Mingchi's saliva flooded.
Ji Hao turned around inside, and quickly took out a pocket. Ruan Mingchi's eyes fell on Ji Hao's full plastic pockets, and then at Ji Hao.
Ji Hao smiled with the corner of his mouth hooked: "Want to eat? Call me brother."
"..." Ruan Mingchi withdrew his gaze, turned around and left.
Ji Hao caught up with him and put his shoulders and smiled: "Oh, you get angry when you tease me, why do you look like a girl? If you want to eat, grab it. With our relationship, are you still afraid that I will get angry?"
Ruan Mingchi didn't understand what relationship he had with Ji Hao, roommate? teammate? Still being bullied? In short, he can't grab food from others, and he can't do it in his life.
"Okay, okay, I admit my mistake, I'm sorry, I shouldn't tease you. Please drink water." Ji Hao said, took out a box of oat milk, and put it in Ruan Mingchi's hand.
Too contemptuous, with a hint of careless charity. Ruan Mingchi held the milk in his hand that he couldn't afford, but he felt like he was holding a needle bag that was pricked and his hands were bleeding. Taking a deep breath, exerting strength, he threw it back almost in disgust.
"No, thank you." Ruan Mingchi said coldly.
"Drink it, six yuan, remember to treat me next time, I like to drink burnt jelly recently."
"I said no."
"You don't look well."
"That's not necessary!" Ruan Mingchi suddenly clenched his fists and stared at Ji Hao, the sense of distance that had disappeared a lot reappeared between them.
"Just a glass of water..."
Ji Hao looked at the boy in front of him and sighed silently.
He knew that it would be very troublesome for Ruan Mingchi to go home, that family had too much influence on Ruan Mingchi, Bai Xia had spent so much effort these days, it only took one afternoon for the child to be beaten back to his original form.
Ruan Mingchi's eyes were reddened by Ji Hao's disappointed gaze. He shouldn't care about other people's attitudes, he has his own way of life, he is used to and adapted to the life of being ignored and underestimated. But... He just hates the way Ji Hao looks at him.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "You don't understand at all."
Turn around and walk away quickly.
When the two returned to the dormitory, Yin Xuelin was shocked: "Hao'er didn't go back, why did you come back? Is our dormitory so good? Or do you love me too much?"
Ruan Mingchi didn't speak, he dropped his backpack and got on the bed, with his back turned to the outside and shrank himself very small.
Yin Xuelin sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and lost his eyes at Ji Hao.
Ji Hao shook his head and went to the bathroom.
Come out again, turn off the lights, and go to bed.
Yin Xuelin howled on the bed: "Sleep? So early? I can't sleep!"
But Yin Xuelin, who couldn't fall asleep, was the first to snore.
After waiting for the sound of shallow breathing from above his head, Ji Hao kept his eyes open all the time.
Black mist rolled in his eyes, looking at the context of the world slowly appearing in front of him, he found his own "kinship line", hesitated for a while, and finally stretched out his hand to pinch the line.
He doesn't need "parents".
Of course, he also wants to know what he "doesn't understand", and is it because he "understands" that he can't live? It deserves to be pitiful! You deserve to feel inferior! He deserves to be a bug, anyone can trample on it!
bring it on.
I have used the power of the demon, is your will about to appear? I want to ask you face to face, how did this poor Ruan Xiaoxian get here? It's you? Or did you arrange it for me
With a cold face, he waited.
Waiting for the sky to fall.
Waiting for the collapse of the world context.
Waiting for Ruan Shangxian's will to expel him.
The cobweb-like veins of the world were under his gaze, gradually began to shake, and began to break layer by layer from where he cut off, and the cracks became bigger and bigger.
helplessly.
The ceiling is distorted, the sky is broken, Yin Xuelin's body is gradually blurred, and everything in the world is fading away...
really…
One hair will move the whole body, and the small fantasy world will disappear!
Ji Hao is ready to leave and open the fourth small world.
"Um... woo..."
Ruan Mingchi's voice of struggling in a nightmare came from above his head, as if he was crying.
Ji Hao paused when he pulled out of consciousness, sighed softly, and left slightly hesitant. But in just a few days of getting along, this Ruan Mingchi left a vivid impression in his heart, like a real existence.
pity.
After all, it is just a solitary smoke in the illusion.
Ji Hao calmed down, knowing that he couldn't wait any longer. Ruan Shangxian's will is about to wake up. If he is attacked and killed in the illusion, he will lose not only a little blood, but also his soul will be damaged again.
"Woooo..." Ruan Mingchi's crying became intense, which was the instinctive reaction of being the "lord of the world" when facing the destruction of the world.
Let's go... Ji Hao finally pulled away his consciousness.
next second.
A thin, thin and fragile vein like a spider's silk suddenly appeared, grabbing the two ends of the broken vein, just like a young child instinctively grabbing the gravel at hand at the moment of falling off the cliff, hand, struggling, climbing up, wanting to survive.
Ji Hao's consciousness returned to his body, he watched the veins that suddenly appeared, and pulled the two ends vigorously, little by little, slowly, more hands and feet seemed to grow, pulling all the broken veins.
Under Ji Hao's gaze, the collapsed world veins were slowly repaired by this delicate spider thread.
So everyone's memory is modified.
Ji Hao's parents died in a car accident at the age of thirteen, and the insurance used to repay the house loan was almost non-existent. Most of the elders in the family passed away, and relatives far away from home also stopped seeing each other.
It's Ruan Xiaoxian!
It's just an existence in the virtual illusion, but he tries hard to admit his own reality, and even brings him into the scope of protection. Such efforts make people feel weak.
Ji Hao turned over, looked at the sleeping boy, and smiled.
He stretched out his hand, and his fingertips gently touched the boy's hair through the mosquito net.
Muttering: "From today on you, you are real."
The fragile spider silk that is working hard to repair the world seems to be nourished, and it becomes strong and powerful in an instant. It only takes a short sleep, and the world will become complete again.
If you look carefully, there are wisps of black light flashing in the depths of the lustrous white silk, which is actually demonic energy.
One black and one white live in harmony, becoming the framework of this world and firmly supporting it.
The sky returned, and Yin Xuelin's snoring came.
Ruan Mingchi had a dream.
This is a bizarre dream.
He walked in a blood-like red.
Rich red and hot.
Everything in front of my eyes is distorted, only in the extremely hot center, a man with bare fruit is sleeping quietly in it, with long hair like ink, bathed in lava, so abrupt, but colliding with rich colors, in this In the chaos of not being able to distinguish between the sky and the earth, it was so striking that he couldn't take his eyes off it.
It was a familiar face, with profound features, yet flamboyant and surly.
It's a pity that the appearance of lying quietly is lifeless, he wants to see him open his eyes and smile flamboyantly.
"Ji Hao?"
In his dream, he called out his name.
Dreams and dreams.
With his hand back, Ji Hao pursed his lips and smiled.
He leaned down and whispered in his ear, "Did you dream of me? Huh? Ruan Xiaoxian..."
…
Three days passed in a flash.
On the day of departure, all the members of the youth training team gathered together, everyone was dressed beautifully, and the girls even put on light makeup, wearing their own clothes, showing a pair of beautiful legs. On the boy's side, Zhang Jin and Kuang Yuan were also standing on the side of the road in trendy clothes, pushing brand new suitcases.
Among the group of people, only Ji Hao and Ruan Mingchi were carrying the backpack issued by the team, which contained a small amount of change of clothes, and that was all.
As Ji Hao cut off his relationship and became an orphan, all his supplies that did not match his current status evaporated together.
Very good, the laptop is gone, the phone is gone, doesn't he even have a suitcase now
"..." Ji Hao looked at the frayed backpack straps around his feet and the patch under the backpack, and seriously doubted whether Ruan Shangxian, who had spent his whole life in fine clothes and jade clothes, had some misunderstanding about "poor".
Poor can also be poor and clean, but there is still a "Yiwu" in this world. Can't afford a bag worth 30,000 yuan, or a bag worth 30 yuan
The dark brown business car stopped at the gate, and the head coach greeted everyone to get on the car. This time, the team leader coach was Xu Wu. Although he was about to return after sending them to the place, it was also a great honor, because this year his team Occupied two places.
The jubilant children couldn't wait to get into the car, and Xu Wu who stayed behind grabbed Ruan Mingchi and asked, "Have you brought enough money?"
Ruan Mingchi nodded.
Yu Wu hesitated to speak, then looked at Ji Hao: "What about you?"
"I brought two hundred and twenty-six yuan and fifty cents, is that enough? Are you asking to support me?"
Yu Wu glared at him: "It's enough for you not to go out, get in the car."
Ji Hao said: "Jiao Yu, for the National Youth Championship on the 23rd, please help me and Ruan Mingchi apply for more subsidies in the team."
Ruan Mingchi and Yu Wu, who had already opened the door and was about to sit in the co-pilot, turned around and looked over.
Ji Hao said: "Championship subsidy."
"You knew you could win the championship." Yu Wu said something contemptuous, but his mouth was already grinning, and he repeated, "You knew it?"
Ji Hao said: "The youth group of our team hasn't won a national championship for several years, right? Those funds are reserved, and your bonuses are set higher, which is also a kind of motivation for us, don't you think? Yu Jiao, I’ve saved money for four years, so it’s not too much for the champion to get 20,000, right?”
Yu Wu stared: "Twenty thousand? It's so beautiful that your nose is bubbling! Get in the car, hurry up!"
Yu Wu sat in the co-driver, and Ji Hao and Ruan Mingchi were the last to drive, leaving only the last two seats on the left.
The two sat side by side, and when the car started, Ji Hao tilted his head and whispered in Ruan Mingchi's ear, "If there are really 20,000, I will do my best."
Ruan Mingchi was extraordinarily silent today, avoiding Ji Hao's gaze, but when he wasn't paying attention, he looked over furtively again, as if sizing up and confused.
The author has something to say: Ji Hao: "I believe, that is, I am. From today, this place is no longer an illusion, but a real small world."
Ruan Mingchi: "Then?"
Ji Hao: "You can love me now... I will respond to you too."
Ruan Mingchi: "..."
