Lin Dapeng frowned: "It has nothing to do with you, just stay at home."
Lin Jiaqiao winked at Qin Guan, and the two of them started throwing tantrums and insisted on going with him.
Gu Yiming put on his shoes slowly and handed the package on the shoe cabinet to the two of them. "Since you have nothing to do, open the package."
Lin Jiaqiao had no time to care about the express delivery at this time. She wanted to continue throwing a tantrum, but was stopped by Qin Guan.
Qin Guan pointed at the sender's name and asked, "Look?"
Only then did Lin Jiaqiao realize that the person who sent him this email was actually Gu Yiming.
Just when they wanted to ask clearly, Lin Dapeng and Gu Yiming had already left.
When the two men chased downstairs, Lin Dapeng's car had already rolled out of a bow and disappeared into the night.
Qin Guan asked: "Chase?"
Lin Jiaqiao nodded without hesitation.
When the two went back upstairs to get the car keys, they discovered that Lin Dapeng didn't take his cell phone.
He didn't answer the phone just now.
So, it really wasn’t the Municipal Bureau that asked him to go back.
-wrong!
On the night of Lin Dapeng's car accident, Lin Jiaqiao was not at home.
All her memories about the car accident were told to her by Gu Yiming.
What if he lied
She hurriedly tore open the email, and found only a USB drive inside.
Lin Jiaqiao and Qin Guan have lived together for a long time and he hasn't come back to live here for a long time. He spent some time looking for a USB converter.
As soon as the USB drive was connected to the phone, countless pictures popped out.
The pictures are various paintings, colorful and bright, and the contents of the paintings are all car accident scenes.
The cross-sea bridge, the road in front of the cemetery, the seaside avenue... different locations depict the same thing: Lin Dapeng’s car accident scene.
These pictures were very clear, occupying the entire screen. Lin Jiaqiao looked at them one by one, feeling dizzy.
Suddenly, her eyes went dark and that familiar feeling appeared again.
She glanced at the time and it was almost 12 o'clock.
This time, she still failed to save Lin Dapeng.
The sky was gloomy. In the second half of the night, the snow that we had been waiting for all day finally fell, and the road in front of the cemetery soon turned white.
A black double-ring SUV sped across the white road, leaving an arrow-like trajectory.
Suddenly, the straight line turned into a strange arc, and the next second, the car hit the guardrail on the side of the road.
In the flames rising into the sky, there were the sirens of ambulances, reporters carrying cameras, and the roars of Officer Lu and Director Lu.
Lin Jiaqiao stood in the center of the crowd, but like an outsider, he looked at them numbly.
Suddenly, she heard someone ask, "Did my dad have a car accident here?"
The voice was familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized it was her own voice.
She heard herself ask, "But I remember that when my father died, it seemed to be at the seaside."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt pain in his hand.
Lin Jiaqiao raised her head. It was Gu Yiming. He held her wrist tightly and asked anxiously, "What did you say?"
Lin Jiaqiao heard himself say, "My father seemed to have died at the beach."
Gu Yiming let go of his hand, the despair on his face faded away little by little, and tears welled up in his eyes.
He hugged Lin Jiaqiao tightly. The next second, Lin Jiaqiao finally heard the vague man's voice:
"You may have to work hard for a while in the future. Zhizhi, if you encounter any problems, you can always tell me."
The man cried, "... I'm sorry, and please bring him back."
"… I beg you."
Lin Jiaqiao woke up from his dream and found himself on the way to the cemetery.
She took out her cell phone and today was still February 2, 2021.
Lin Dapeng’s birthday is also the first anniversary of his death.
"A nightmare?"
Noticing her strangeness, Qin Guan controlled the steering wheel with one hand and tried to pull down Lin Jiaqiao's hat to cover her eyes with the other hand.
Lin Jiaqiao took a step ahead and held his hand.
"It's today." She said anxiously.
Qin Guan looked at her blankly, "What?"
Lin Jiaqiao said: "On the day my father got into trouble, I told you that I came back from the future—"
Qin Guan frowned, "Zizi, it's been a year, you should get over it."
Lin Jiaqiao looked at him in disbelief, "You, you forgot—"
It was impossible for Qin Guan to forget. Lin Jiaqiao suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. She asked, "How did my father get into trouble?"
Qin Guan didn't seem to want to answer this question. He pleaded, "Zizi, you've asked me this many times."
Lin Jiaqiao repeated unconsciously: "I have asked you many times."
Qin Guan sighed, "Sometimes you dream that your godfather died at the seaside—"
Lin Jiaqiao interrupted him: "So, how did Old Lin die? Answer me quickly."
She was about to cry, so Qin Guan could only answer truthfully:
"You remember, everyone was very busy during that period. Lao Lin, Lao Lin worked overtime for several days in a row."
"It was his birthday that day, and Uncle Lu asked him to go home and rest. He came back and slept for a while. In the evening, the police station had something to do and asked him to go back, so he-"
No, that's not the case.
That night, Lin Dapeng clearly went out with Gu Yiming.
Why was February 1, 2020, different from what she experienced
She rolled up her sleeves, and the round scar was still on her arm.
She looked at Qin Guan's arm again, and the scar was still round.
Lin Jiaqiao asked: "Do you remember my scar?"
Qin Guan said: "I'm sorry, Zhizhi, you got hurt while protecting me, but I failed you—"
She changed nothing in 2012.
Lin Jiaqiao asked again: "The year of the college entrance examination, we went to Yuzhang Academy to save Mingming, right?"
Qin Guan also became serious: "Remember, we just met Sister Xiao Xu at that time."
Lin Jiaqiao asked again: "Are my master and Jingjing preparing for the Tokyo Olympics?"
Qin Guan said: "Didn't you call him right after you got in the car? He also asked you to say hello to Lao Lin on his behalf."
Lin Jiaqiao frowned: "Cui Zijing's eyes—"
Qin Guan replied: "Her eyes are already diseased, and it is useless to replace the cornea."
Lin Jiaqiao asked again: "Have you contacted Ying Zhiwan?"
Qin Guan replied: "We talked on the phone a few days ago, and he complained that Xiang Xiaoyuan didn't bring him back."
"By the way, his father is trying IVF again and suggested that Ying and Xiang Xiaoyuan have a baby at least."
"But it was rejected at the end of the day."
Lin Jiaqiao thought that the past she changed remained changed, but February 1, 2020, which she changed, did not change at all.
Noticing that she looked strange, Qin Guan asked, "What happened?"
Lin Jiaqiao looked at him helplessly, she had failed.
In that notebook, each case corresponds to an opportunity, and so far, she has used up all the opportunities.
She would never see her father again.
The two had already reached the entrance of the cemetery, and the car behind them honked its horn impatiently.
Qin Guan said, "I'll go find a parking space, and you can go up by yourself, is that okay?"
Lin Jiaqiao pushed open the car door, sadness had already engulfed her.
Her legs went weak and she almost fell to her knees.
Qin Guan exclaimed and immediately got out of the car to help her.
Lin Jiaqiao said in a tearful voice: "Qin Guan, I don't think I can do this."
The cemetery is gray, with light gray steps and dark gray tombstones, which are not happy colors. There are large patches of holly planted next to the steps, and the snow on the leaves looks like small white flowers in full bloom.
Lin Jiaqiao has walked this road many times, and this is the first time with Qin Guan.
When passing by Gu Xiaoxu's tombstone, Lin Jiaqiao walked in and found that Gu Xiaoxu's tombstone was still there.
133
Sister Xiaoxu, is it Gu Yiming? Did Dad die because of Gu Yiming? And He Youwei and Zhou Laifu, are their disappearances related to him
Gu Xiaoxu said nothing, her pretty face smiling shyly among the pink muhly grass.
She wasted some time here, and when the two of them stood up, she suddenly heard a very light sigh.
This voice is very familiar.
It’s Gu Yiming.
He stood behind them without knowing when.
Lin Jiaqiao then realized that the three of them were wearing the same down jacket. Lin Dapeng bought it when he was shopping in a mall and got one free on a buy two get one free deal.
Gu Yiming ignored Lin Jiaqiao's vigilant gaze and said to Qin Guan: "Finally I see you."
Qin Guan said: "We just met yesterday."
However, Lin Jiaqiao understood what Gu Yiming meant.
She was shocked. Could it be that he, like her, had two different memories
He remembers the past that has not changed, and also remembers the past that has been changed by himself
Gu Yiming still had that shy and soft smile. He said to Qin Guan, "Old Qin, Ms. Qiao is outside. Can you go and keep her company? I have something to talk to Zhizhi about, and it's not convenient for you to hear."
He rarely spoke in such an impolite manner. Qin Guan thought for a moment and looked at Lin Jiaqiao.
Gu Yiming suddenly laughed. He shook his head, "Lao Qin, you are such a fool."
He squatted down and placed the bunch of pink muhly grass in front of Gu Xiaoxu's grave.
He said: "You saved almost everyone except the two people who meant the most to me."
Lin Jiaqiao took a step back unconsciously.
Qin Guan frowned and looked at the two of them.
"Don't be afraid of me, Zhizhi." Gu Yiming's tone was still soft, and a little coquettish, "Obviously you are too stupid."
"I knew you were not a smart kid, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid."
"Most people would know I was the murderer after dying twice at most. Why did you only realize it the last time?"
"Do you trust me like this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he threw something over and Lin Jiaqiao caught it. It was Lin Dapeng's notebook.
She turned to the page that she had torn, and the tear was gone, leaving the entire page intact.
Lin Jiaqiao couldn't believe it, "How did you do that?"
Gu Yiming said: "Think about it, how did you go back to the past."
Lin Jiaqiao immediately looked at his hand: "You are not-"
"bingo."
Just like when he was explaining math problems to Lin Jiaqiao in high school, Gu Yiming's tone was gentle and full of patience.
He held up his wrist, "But I don't have anyone to help me."
He complained a little: "You are always luckier than me."
"You don't know, I've always been jealous of you. I tried to hide it very well, no one noticed."
Lin Jiaqiao didn't want to pay attention to his crazy talk. She asked: "Why did you give me the book? The ending is already—"
"No, it's not the end yet."
Gu Yiming said in a coaxing tone: "Look carefully, there are other hints."
Lin Jiaqiao really started flipping through the notebook.
Gu Yiming said: "At this time, you still trust me so much."
Lin Jiaqiao answered without even looking up, "You are my brother, you are the adopted son of our Lin family, I believe you have your own difficulties."
After a long silence, Gu Yiming said, "... I'm sorry."
"And you must bring him back."
"… I beg you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jiaqiao heard the sound of a sharp blade touching flesh.
She looked up and saw that the scimitar in Gu Yiming's hand had already stabbed into Qin Guan's neck.
Gu Yiming wanted to kill her, but Qin Guan blocked the knife for her.
Gu Yiming seemed to have not expected this situation, and his face was full of surprise.
The next second, Lin Jiaqiao felt a pain in her neck, and she saw bright red blood falling on Gu Yiming's face.
Gu Yiming looked at her with a smile, desperate and sad.
Lin Jiaqiao gradually fell into darkness, and the sound of a cell phone ringing rang in his ears.
She raised her hand with great effort, and with a 'pop' sound, something fell to the ground.
Lin Jiaqiao opened his eyes with great effort and found himself in a familiar room.
This is her and Qin Guan’s home.
She was at her desk in the study.
She picked up the phone on the ground. It was the afternoon of February 1, 2020.
On the computer screen, the report about "a young girl was sexually harassed by a security guard while visiting the beach, and no tourists around her tried to stop her" has been sent out.
How is this going
Lin Jiaqiao was just about to call Lin Dapeng when his cell phone rang again.
It’s Mr. Hua calling.
As soon as the call was connected, Hua Zong said anxiously: "Boss, the girl in the report contacted us and asked us to withdraw the report."
"I, I felt sorry for her, so I agreed. You see—"
"Well done." Time was urgent, and Lin Jiaqiao spoke faster than him: "Ask her if she is willing to do an interview and clarify the facts."
"If she is willing, you can do it for her. If she is not willing, you can write an apology article for her and post it on our homepage."
"I have something else to do, I'll leave this to you."
After that, she hung up the phone and hurried out.
She stopped a car on the side of the road, calculated the time, and got off in a grove near her home.
On the way, she called Qin Guan, and the assistant answered the phone, saying that Mr. Qin had drunk some wine at noon and had been unconscious ever since.
Lin Jiaqiao couldn't ask him to get up and drive drunk, so he had to ask his assistant to wait for him to wake up and send him home immediately.
It was still early for Lin Dapeng to go out for the first time. Lin Jiaqiao found a secluded corner and hid there, thinking about his own thoughts.
She thought, why did I come back
She thought again, was it really Gu Yiming who killed Lao Lin
Suddenly, she smelled a familiar scent. She looked around and saw a familiar figure.
The man was dressed in rags and had several fingers missing. When he came closer, Lin Jiaqiao saw that he had a large mole on his chin.
He is Gu Yiming’s neighbor.
The neighbor also saw Lin Jiaqiao, and his expression immediately became ferocious: "I know you, you are Lin Dapeng's daughter, and you are very familiar with Gu Yiming."
He showed his knife to Lin Jiaqiao, "Gu Yiming is crazy. He killed He Youwei and the man who bought Gu Xiaoxu. I know I will be the next one."
Lin Jiaqiao stared at his hand, whose skin color he couldn't recognize, and instinctively retorted: "Impossible, my brother is not that kind of person!"
The neighbor went crazy and shouted nervously: "I saw it with my own eyes."
"He wanted to kill me. I've been following him for a long time."
He said indignantly: "What's wrong with me if that damn girl Gu Xiaoxu jumped off the building? She was just a slut to begin with—"
Lin Jiaqiao scolded: "Keep your mouth shut!"
The neighbor took a step back timidly, and then became even angrier. He wanted to vent all the suffering he had endured from Gu Yiming on Lin Jiaqiao.
He cursed and approached with a knife in hand: "Behave yourself. Gu Yiming cares about you. With you as a hostage, let's see if Gu Yiming dares to touch me."
He had been begging for a living in recent years and was as thin as a stick. Lin Jiaqiao felt that she could subdue him. But he was too dirty and she didn't want to touch him.
She changed the subject and asked, "Why did you call my dad?"
The neighbor grinned, revealing his yellow teeth, "I want to report Gu Yiming. He is a murderer. I want to report him."
While he wasn't paying attention, Lin Jiaqiao knocked the knife out of his hand. She pointed the knife at her neighbor and said, "Now you can't hold me hostage."
The neighbor was so angry that he rushed over shouting.
Lin Jiaqiao was suffocated by him and kept dodging, but this gave him an opportunity. Just as he was about to touch Lin Jiaqiao's neck, a figure blocked Lin Jiaqiao's way and pressed his neighbor to the ground.
It’s Lin Dapeng.
Lin Jiaqiao looked strange, "Dad, don't you think it's dirty?"
Lin Dapeng froze and the strength in his hands decreased a little. The neighbor took this opportunity to slip away.
Lin Dapeng looked in the direction his neighbor left, frowned and asked, "How did you know he called me?"
Arrived so early. Lin Jiaqiao lied casually, "I followed him because I heard him calling you."
Fearing that Lin Dapeng would ask further questions, she quickly changed the subject, "Dad, do you believe what he said?"
Lin Dapeng didn't say anything, but frowned: "Go home, your mother is waiting for us to eat."
Lin Jiaqiao pestered him: "Tell me what's going on."
Lin Dapeng asked back: "Why aren't you surprised at all?"
Lin Jiaqiao couldn't find a reason and hesitated for a long time. Lin Dapeng asked: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Lin Jiaqiao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Where are your car keys?"
Lin Dapeng asked: "Why are you leaving right after coming back?"
Lin Jiaqiao stretched out his hand and said, "No, I just saw that you haven't had any rest recently, so I wanted you to have a good rest."
Lin Dapeng obviously didn't believe it, so Lin Jiaqiao had to say, "Qin Guan is drunk, I'll pick him up later."
Lin Dapeng took the key from his belt and handed it to Lin Jiaqiao, "Drive slowly."
Lin Jiaqiao tightly grasped the key, wishing she could swallow it in one gulp. She put the key in her pocket and urged, "Go home quickly."
She was in a hurry to go home and watch the USB drive.
Compared with He Youwei and Zhou Laifu, she wanted to find out how Lin Dapeng died.
Just like last time, Lin Dapeng went into the kitchen as soon as he got home and chased Ms. Qiao out. Lin Jiaqiao looked around the entrance but couldn't find the package. She asked, "Mom, where is my package?"
"It's in your room." Ms. Qiao said, "I'll help you find it."
Can't let her see it.
Lin Jiaqiao immediately slipped back into the room and locked the door.
Just like last time, as soon as the USB drive was plugged in, the pictures popped up. Lin Jiaqiao was carefully checking each picture when someone knocked on the door.
Lin Dapeng said: "Eat."
"I'm not hungry. I'll eat later."
Lin Jiaqiao looked at his phone again, and suddenly there was a video on the screen.
Because the memory is too large, the video is behind all the photos and Lin Jiaqiao accidentally touched it just now.
She glanced at the door, worried that Lin Dapeng and Ms. Qiao might hear her, and took out her headphones from the drawer.
When she was storing them, she just stuffed the earphones into the drawer casually. The earphone wires were tangled together, and it took a lot of effort to find them.
By the time she pressed the play button, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
Gu Yiming's voice sounded in the headset: "Hello, I'm Lin Jiaqiao from February 2, 2021."
His face still had the familiar tenderness:
"I guess you didn't notice the video the first time."
"Because you're stupid."
His eyes were filled with sadness: "I'm sorry, I let you, a fool, do such a difficult task."
This video is Gu Yiming’s confession letter.
He admitted that he was the one who instigated Ying Zhiwan and Cui Zijing to fight, and he was also the one who helped them clean up the mess.
He thought he had done it perfectly, but Lin Dapeng had already noticed his actions.
After all, Lin Dapeng is a sharp criminal policeman, and the crimes he committed are too targeted.
Lin Dapeng was going to take him to the police station to surrender tonight, but Gu Yiming was unwilling. They argued in the car and then a car accident happened.
Lin Dapeng could have survived, but at the moment of the collision, he instinctively protected Gu Yiming, leaving the protection range of the airbag and thus lost his life.
"This is the scene where Uncle Lin died for the first time." Gu Yiming said, "Your memory is correct."
"I survived unscathed."
"But how can I deserve to live?"
On the same day, after Lin Dapeng's body was pushed into the incinerator, Gu Yiming drove back to his home and chose to commit suicide.
He stole Lin Dapeng's notebook.
That notebook was brought out by Lin Dapeng specifically for the purpose of confronting him, and now it is soaked with Lin Dapeng's blood.
Gu Yiming refused to forgive himself and wanted to be punished at the last moment of his life, so he chose to cut his wrists. He held the notebook and felt life slowly being taken away from his body.
The next moment he lost consciousness, he returned to February 1, 2020, the day before Lin Dapeng's death.
He reincarnated many times on this day. He wanted to save Lin Dapeng, but failed every time.
He began to suspect that he was actually dead and was now in hell, repeating the most painful day of his life.
It was not until that time that Lin Jiaqiao told him that her father died at the beach.
Only then did Gu Yiming realize that he was not the only paranoid person, and that everything he did was meaningful.
After that day, he was more determined to die. He left many loopholes and tested the method that would be most beneficial to Lin Jiaqiao. Only when everything was foolproof did he bring the notebook back to the Lin family, let Ms. Qiao find it, and hand it over to Lin Jiaqiao.
Crazy, what if I can’t go back!
Lin Jiaqiao cursed inwardly, it turned out that Fairy Gu was the craziest one.
Gu Yiming seemed to hear her scolding and replied with a smile: "Are you scolding me secretly? Do you think I'm crazy? What if you can't go back?"
"Don't worry, my brother has already tried it. As long as I get the notebook, whenever I die, I will go back to the day before Uncle Lin died."
"I won't let you die."
Lin Jiaqiao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he wasn't too crazy. He probably got infected after living with that crazy guy Ying Zhiwan for too long.
Gu Yiming added: "Okay, we have finished talking about the unimportant things, now it's time to talk about the important things."
"Lin Jiaqiao, you have to save Uncle Lin."
"Whether you call an ambulance or throw a tantrum and prevent him from leaving the house, you must save him."
"This is something I can't do, so I can only ask you for help."
"Can you succeed this time?" He pleaded, "I haven't come this far before. I don't know if my death will still have meaning after I come this far."
Gu Yiming gave too much information, and Lin Jiaqiao was just digesting it when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
She ran over and opened the door, it was Qin Guan.
It's nearly eleven o'clock now.
Lin Jiaqiao became nervous: "Where's my dad?"
Qin Guan pointed to the study and said, "He's busy in the study."
Lin Jiaqiao breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Where's Gu Yiming? Hasn't he come back yet?"
Gu Yiming's voice came from the entrance: "Are you looking for me?"
Lin Jiaqiao was startled, and Qin Guan explained: "It was Lao Gu who brought me back."
Before Lin Jiaqiao could say anything, Lin Dapeng had already come out of the study.
He looked at Gu Yiming for a long time and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Gu Yiming smiled and replied, "No."
Lin Dapeng pulled the corner of his mouth stiffly: "The kitchen has left some food for you."
For fear of waking up Ms. Qiao, the four of them quietly entered the kitchen.
Lin Jiaqiao walked in last. After closing the door, she said, "It's already this late. Why are you still eating?"
Qin Guan looked at the time. "I didn't realize it's already past eleven. It's okay. Let's stay in the gym for a while tomorrow—"
Lin Jiaqiao interrupted him, "Who cares about your figure? I mean—"
"Lin Jiaqiao!" Lin Dapeng interrupted her, "Don't talk while eating."
Lin Jiaqiao muttered, "Where did this rule come from in our family?"
While the two were arguing, Gu Yiming had already brought the food to the table.
He sat down at the dining table, still looking well-behaved.
Lin Jiaqiao raised his hand, "I only have one question."
Without waiting for Lin Dapeng to stop him, Lin Jiaqiao said, "Why should I? I will come back twice."
With a soft 'pop' sound, Gu Yiming's chopsticks fell on the table.
Without warning, he laughed softly, "How cruel, Lin Zhizhi, you knew this was the last time I would eat the meal cooked by Ms. Qiao, yet you still tried to stop me."
"Because, there were two cases today."
He spoke softly.
Lin Jiaqiao understood that on February 2, 2020, not only Lin Dapeng was murdered, but Gu Yiming was also killed.
Lin Dapeng frowned, "What two cases?"
It was too late, so Lin Jiaqiao asked again: "You can stay at home forever."
Gu Yiming shook his head, "You underestimate our Lao Lin."
"Even if I stay at home, Lao Lin will call the police to arrest me before midnight."
Lin Dapeng misunderstood their conversation. He asked in surprise: "How did you know?"
He looked at Lin Jiaqiao, "Did you tell him?"
Gu Yiming didn't want to answer.
He suddenly wanted to rebel in front of Lin Dapeng.
He refused to speak, picked up the chopsticks and ate his dinner in big mouthfuls.
Lin Jiaqiao was still trying to find an excuse to get away with it, but Qin Guan asked, "Old Gu, did you commit a crime?"
No one answered him.
In the silence, the doorbell suddenly rang.
It was still five minutes before 12 o'clock.
Gu Yiming choked and started coughing, tears coming out of her eyes.
Lin Jiaqiao didn't believe it, so she slowly moved to the door. It was Officer Lu who brought people here.
She was in despair by now.
I have tried everything I can, why is it still not working
A hand suddenly covered hers. Qin Guan asked, "You mean, it's okay to delay it until after twelve o'clock, right?"
Lin Jiaqiao was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Qin Guan immediately said: "Wait a minute, the lock is broken, I will go find the key."
Officer Lu was dissatisfied: "Hey, don't play tricks!"
Lin Jiaqiao stood in front of the shoe cabinet, pretending to look for the key.
Finally, the hour hand slowly crept past twelve o'clock.
Lin Dapeng is still at home!
Lin Jiaqiao looked at Gu Yiming in surprise, "Now, is it okay?"
Gu Yiming looked at her suspiciously, "What can I do?"
Lin Jiaqiao thought he was playing dumb and said angrily: "Car accident, notebook, rebirth!"
Gu Yiming looked even more confused.
Only then did Lin Jiaqiao realize that he was not pretending to be stupid.
This, what is going on.
Before she could think about it, Lin Dapeng strode over.
Qin Guan saw that he looked unhappy, so he immediately unlocked the door and muttered, "Hey, he's fine now."
