The dark clouds gradually dispersed and we all felt relieved, but there was still something on my mind. Could it be that I was the child of my mother and someone else? But as far as I know, my mother was not remarried. That only meant that I was an illegitimate child.
I felt like what was happening to me was like a movie, and I was the person in the painting. Then I fell into depravity, I was unhappy all day, and I became more and more distant from my parents. Because I couldn't find a way to get along with them for a while.
"Lengshan, what's wrong with you recently? Are you worried about something? Your uncle has woken up, so why are you still depressed all day long?!" Zhang Nuan asked me as she came out of the hospital with me.
"I, I'm fine. Zhang Nuan, what would you do if one day you found out that you are no longer yourself?" I stopped and asked Zhang Nuan. In my heart, I desperately hoped that someone could point me in a direction.
"What do you mean you're not you anymore? Who else can you be? Even if your identity and name have changed in time and space, you're still my stinky frog!!! Haha~ Let's go, I'll treat you to spicy hot pot!" Zhang Nuan said happily, pulling me to go with her to eat spicy hot pot. To be honest, I really didn't want to eat that shit. It was just a few vegetable leaves. What's the point of eating it? !
But seeing Zhang Nuan happy, I felt happy. At that time, I felt that Zhang Nuan was the closest relative to me. Yes, even if I was not born by my parents, I am still me. At most, I will change my name and identity. No, maybe I will not change my name and identity. As for who I am, I will always ask my parents when I have a chance, but not now.
My dad got better, so my mom rarely asked me to come to the hospital, saying that she could take care of him by herself. Also, my vacation was almost over, and I was entering the third year of high school, so I had to behave like a third-year student. So when I wasn't in the hospital, I usually stayed at home to do my homework.
The morning sun was shining on my butt, but I didn't wake up. However, the ringing of my cell phone made me sleep very uneasy. Who is so wicked that he doesn't sleep well in the morning and has to disturb others' sleep? !
"Fuck, who are you?!" I said without even opening my eyes while curled up in bed. My favorite thing to do in summer is to turn on the air conditioner and cover myself with a thick quilt. It feels damn good!
"Lengshan, my fucking Zhang Tong, where are you?! ! You, what are you doing?!!!" Zhang Tong was yelling on the other end of the phone as if he had just watched a horror movie. Zhang Tong, you are fucking crazy, it's a nice day and holiday, why don't you ask your Ai Yi to go out and have sex with you, why are you fucking me? ! ! !
"You country bumpkin, I, I'm sleeping at home, you keep calling me over and over again, you're trying to kill me!!!! I'm hanging up!!!!" I was so sleepy, I just got back from the hospital very late last night.
"Hey..." Before Zhang Tong finished speaking, I hung up the phone. In order to avoid him from bothering me anymore, I simply turned off my phone. Whatever you have to say, wait until I wake up.
I slept in until 1pm, and when I woke up, I felt full of energy!!! I stretched my body to relax my tight sleeping bones. I soaked a bag of instant noodles with pickled cabbage, watched TV and turned on the air conditioner. Life is really wonderful.
It wasn't until I finished my shower in the afternoon that I remembered why Zhang Nuan was so quiet today and didn't even call me. I went to get my phone and remembered that Zhang Tong had been making noises with me in the morning, so I turned off my phone. After I turned it on, the missed calls and text messages came in one after another, all from Zhang Tong.
Is Zhang Tong really in a hurry?! I immediately called Zhang Tong back. "Hey, what's up with you today? Why are you in such a hurry?!"
"Fuck, what the hell have you been thinking about?! I've been calling you all morning, and you're just being silly. Now I, Grandpa Tong, am going to say nothing!!!" Zhang Tong's voice on the phone seemed a little angry.
"No!! Tell me, I just came back from the hospital late at night, and I'm really tired during this period! What's the matter?!" I said to Zhang Tong. From what Zhang Tong said, it seemed that he really had something to tell me.
"Shan Zi, go to WeChat and I'll send you some photos. I tell you, I guarantee that you will be shocked to death after seeing the photos!!! You don't know that after I saw the real person today, I ran over to say hello, but that person didn't know me at all. I even suspected that I had hallucinations, but when I saw Annie, I knew it was not an hallucination, and..." Zhang Tong kept talking on the phone.
“Stop, stop it!!! What the hell are you talking about?! Hurry up and post the photo…” I’d better not listen to what Zhang Tong said and get down to business. His hesitation was just to express his disbelief.
"Okay, okay, okay! Just wait!!! Then you will have to thank me for my sudden discovery today. I think I have the potential to be Sherlock Holmes. Later today you said that I chased after them and took secret photos like a detective, but it was really exciting and enjoyable! I really want to try it again next time, or..." Why is Zhang Tong acting like a woman today? Haha.
"Can you please send the photo?!!!!!! I'm hanging up..." I yelled on the phone and then hung up to open WeChat. At this time, Zhang Tong was talking to himself about how he was today, but I didn't hear a word.
Not long after, Zhang Tong sent me a message on WeChat. When I got dressed and opened the photo Zhang Tong had just sent me on WeChat, I felt like my heart was about to stop beating. The shock this photo brought to me was definitely no less than the shock that my parents and I did not have the same blood type.
There were five photos in total. I opened them and enlarged them. My eyes widened. I ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror. One of the people in the photo looked exactly like me. Even I thought for a moment that person was me, but this morning I was sure that I was sleeping at home and not sleepwalking.
The most important thing is that I was not with Annie, and in the photo, Annie was with that guy. I was so fucking annoyed. Why didn't I stop Zhang Tong from talking this morning? I called Zhang Tong again.
"Hello, Tongzi, are you sure these are the photos taken this morning? Did you see Annie and that person with your own eyes? Where did you see them? Did you go up to say hello to them? Did they notice you? Where are you now? Are you still following them? You..." After the call was connected, I asked Zhang Tong all kinds of questions like a hundred thousand whys.
"Fuck, I was following them at first, but then they took a taxi and left, and I lost them. I went to say hello, but the man said he didn't know me. Before I could ask him anything, Annie came over, nodded to me, and took the man away. She left in a hurry. Now I really don't know where they are. You might as well ask Annie instead of asking me! Tell me, isn't my discovery today incredible? I..." Zhang Tong said he didn't know where they were. Yes, why should I ask him? At this time, I should ask Annie, she definitely knows more.
Before Zhang Tong finished speaking, I hung up and called Annie. Zhang Tong, I am so sorry for you today! I hung up on you three times in one day, please don't come to me to settle the score. I called Annie, but the phone was busy and no one answered.
Did Annie deliberately not answer my call or did she really not hear it? I hung up the phone and looked at the photos Zhang Tong sent me. There was one thing I was completely sure of: I had a twin brother, and there was a 99% chance that I was not born by my parents. I fell to the ground, looking at the ceiling. I didn't know what I should do next. The doubts in my heart did not decrease but increased, and I felt suffocated.
I then called Annie, but the call was not answered at first. Later, Annie turned off her phone. Her action made me more suspicious that something had happened.
