The scene in memory is vivid, but it has the unique hazy and dim yellowness of memory.
It was a high school playground about six or seven years ago, and the hibiscus was blooming with a faint fragrance. On the side of the playground, the laughter of the students could be heard from a distance.
He Zizhong, who was about to graduate from high school, stood under the hibiscus tree and looked at the man with his head bowed in front of him in surprise.
He was a first-year high school student, and He Zizhong didn't have much of an impression of him, but the few memories of passing him by in school were particularly profound.
The only impression comes from the fact that this boy is... beautiful.
Yes, beautiful, for boys, he looks a little too delicate, with big eyes, cat eyes and hanging eyes. When he smiles, a small dimple appears on the left corner of his mouth. To be honest, in He Zizhong's memory, not to mention the boys, even the girls in the school, no one looked as good as him.
How could he forget? How could it be forgotten
This is the first time since He Zizhong was alive that he has received a love letter from a lower grade student, and the person who sent him a love letter confession was... a boy.
He didn't remember much about the communication between the two at that time. He didn't even bother to ask his name, only after his nervous introduction, the love letter he sent to him, and the fact that he liked him A loser jumped out.
In the morning, they found a love letter in their bookcase, and after snatching it over and peeking at it, they naturally knew the time and place of the other party's appointment. But they were disappointed and even more surprised that the love letter with neat and beautiful fonts came from a boy.
There were a few bad friends involved, how could He Zizhong agree to this at that time? Before that, he hadn't even thought that there would be boys who like him.
Thinking about it now, he only seemed to think of the boy's pale face and the slender figure who fled.
No wonder he always had a sense of familiarity when he saw Fang Hao in the community, no wonder every time he met him, there always seemed to be something in his eyes when he looked at him.
At that time, He Zizhong thought that it was only because Fang Hao and his then lover Dai Jun had some subtle similarities that he would subconsciously notice him.
He still remembers himself, what about himself? I have never forgotten that year, by the playground, under the hibiscus tree, a boy once confessed to him.
It was after that time that He Zizhong realized that he really didn't seem to be interested in girls, and that same-sex attracted his attention more.
However, after going to college, there was no boy who was able to let himself notice at once like the little boy at the time, and after so many years, I still remember when he raised his head and opened his eyes with sadness. With those big cat eyes, his eyes were full of sadness.
Until I met Dai Jun, the boy who also had a pair of cat eyes. It's just that his eyes are smaller and slender than Fang Hao's. Compared with the kind of surprise Fang Hao brought him, Dai Jun is much more ordinary.
Thinking about it now, it seems that it is precisely because of those eyes that are slightly similar to Fang Hao that I am attracted to him and associate with him. The funny thing is that when he met Fang Hao again, he didn't remember that this person was the boy who confessed to him under the hibiscus tree in his third year of high school...
But now, Fang Hao is dead, and he is... dead...
"I'm dead?"
He stared blankly at the hand in front of him. There was no wound on the hand with clear joints. On his wrist was the red sandalwood bracelet that his grandmother personally brought to him before he died... Wait, bracelet? !
He Zizhong suddenly sat up from the bed, first looking straight at the hands in front of him, and then grabbing the bracelet on his left hand.
The hard touch in his hand told him that the bracelet was real, that's right!
"Fang Hao?!" Suddenly looking around, familiar furniture, familiar curtains, familiar furnishings, everything is so warm. There is no wound from the bite of a zombie on his body, nor is there Fang Hao's body beside him...
Suddenly, a string of familiar music came from the room. It's a cell phone... Yes, it's the cell phone ringtone that I have been using before the end of the world!
He grabbed the mobile phone on the bedside table with his backhand, and didn't bother to answer the phone, instead he slid down the menu and stared at the February 13, 20XX launch above.
February 13, half a year ago? Half a month before the end of the world began? !
The ringing of the mobile phone stopped because there was no answer for a long time. He Zizhong walked to the window blankly and watched the lively scene of people coming and going in the community. , myself... I'm afraid I really came back, back half a year ago, back before the end of the world began.
Holding the beads in his left hand again with his right hand, He Zizhong looked at the three words engraved on the Buddha's head, slowly closed his eyes, and said "Go in" silently in his heart.
The surrounding air became warm in an instant, and there was no sound of the children laughing in the community outside the window, only the movement of the stream and the waterfall could be heard. Space, yes, his own space, the space that was stolen by Dai Jun in his previous life and given to him to find a new backer, is now back in his own hands.
This space, that Dai Jun knew, and Fang Hao also knew. Later, although the people in the team didn't know the secret of the bracelet, they knew that they were a power user with space. However, after Dai Jun learned that he had this magical space, he was reluctant to stay outside, living in the space all day and refusing to come out.
It was not until he ran to City A with the team, until he discovered that the actor he admired had now become a powerful team leader, that Dai Jun left the space and lived at the base of City A during the day. When he was not at home, he ran to take the things he took out from the space and approached the arrogant man.
And Fang Hao, he never told him about the space, but all the way north, that person hides in the space all day long and disappears. Even Xu Lili, a greedy woman, can guess that there is a problem and try to eavesdrop. Look, not to mention Fang Hao who has always had a better relationship with him? But he never asked any more questions. Even if he was chased and killed by people in the "Overlord" team, he just followed him silently, didn't ask anything, and unconditionally believed in himself, supported himself, and accompany himself.
At the beginning, I didn't understand why Fang Hao did this, and only regarded him as a very loyal partner. But now...
High school playground, that love letter...
Who would believe that after six or seven years, the feelings at that time have not changed? A young man even gave his life for it.
He let out a long breath and looked at this rather empty space. Whether it was that person or Fang Hao, they didn't know how their space was activated.
Generally speaking, in those space novels, the method of activating space is described in the way of recognizing the Lord with a drop of blood. Even He Zizhong found out that her cousin Xu Lili took the opportunity to smear the blood she accidentally shed onto her bracelet on purpose - this was only after she found out that Dai Jun always disappeared for no reason and became suspicious. temptation.
I touched the three words "He Zizhong" that seemed to have been engraved on the Buddha's head for a long time, these three words, I was learning to engrave seals as a pastime, and last night on a whim, I put it on this string of bracelets that I wear all the year round. He also engraved his name in Xiaozhuan script. Unexpectedly, the space was activated.
And this notch, after one night, turned into what it is now, as if it had existed for a long time.
Because the space is activated, I have slept in one breath from last night until today.
Four acres of maroon land, a small two-story bamboo building, behind the bamboo building there is a small bare earth slope, a well, a small stream extending from the pool formed by the waterfall on the other side of the hillside, bypassing the land and flowing into the void space end. This is the space where he lived for more than three months in his previous life.
A total of four acres of land, of which the small bamboo building occupies a small piece, and even the hillside behind it extends from the land.
Strictly speaking, the area that can be cultivated is less than three acres. In addition, He Zizhong plans to raise some chickens and ducks, build a grape trellis or something. In the end, only about two acres can be left for farming.
He Zizhong walked into the bamboo building. The second floor was a large room with good lighting, which could be used as a bedroom. There was a low table by the window. Other than that, it was empty with no furniture.
On the first floor, there are only three rooms in total. One is the living room, and the other is the kitchen. There is a partition at the corner of the kitchen, and the basement is below. Another small, is the toilet and bathroom.
Don't look at the bamboo building is not big, only a small two-story, but its basement is very amazing.
The area of the entire basement room is actually the size of four acres of land! As big as all the spaces above put together. The things stored here can all be kept as they were when they were put in, and they can also be manipulated and taken with the mind.
"Leave".
Thoughts flashed in his mind, He Zizhong returned to the room again. There's nothing in the space right now, he needs to buy tools, lots of crop seeds, fruit saplings, and all sorts of other stuff...
I was thinking about the things I wanted to buy, and the mobile phone that I had been holding in my hand suddenly started to sing again.
Looking at the name on the phone, He Zizhong pursed his lips tightly, wanting to refuse the answer directly, after thinking about it, he swiped his finger to answer and put it to his ear.
"Zizhong, what's the matter? I've called you for a long time and haven't answered." A familiar voice came from the phone - Dai Jun.
"I didn't hear it." He Zizhong's voice was cold, how could he not be cold? In the past life, he was tossed by this man, and it was still shallow? !
He Zizhong was still standing by the window, watching the pedestrians coming and going in the community. It was around eleven o'clock at noon. Yesterday, because of the activation of the space, he had been sleeping until now. He didn't even go to the company. Many of those missed calls were calls from colleagues and companies.
He didn't seem to hear the displeasure in He Zizhong's voice, Dai Jun's voice was a little sticky, with a smile, and a little coquettish: "Zizhong, let's go out for dinner tomorrow night, just go to Jinyue near your house. Okay? I invite you!"
He Zizhong felt as if he was from a different world when he heard the familiar voice - of course, it was indeed as if from a different world.
The content on the phone was very familiar, and the dazed feeling after being suddenly reborn was still there, but He Zizhong had already remembered what happened at this moment in his previous life—yes, Dai Jun in his previous life was indeed at noon on the day after he activated the space. I called him and agreed to go to dinner together tomorrow night.
Usually when the two of them go out to eat and play together, I feel bad that he is a student who is still in school, so I never let him spend a penny. But this time, it's not so much a treat as an apology.
Yes, it is an apology.
