[1bitHeart] The closed world of you and me

Probably because he fell asleep with his arms around the person he knew might disappear one day. This time, Naixi slept very soundly and at ease. If it wasn't for the part-time job, he had set the alarm clock a long time ago. It is not impossible for him to sleep until the afternoon.

And just like what Men said yesterday, somehow he seemed to have suddenly given up on going out early and returning late to avoid Nanaixi. When he woke up today, what he saw was not the familiar pillow, but the door that was still sleeping. His face, which made him feel strangely relieved──but when he found that he seemed to be drooling unconsciously when he fell asleep, and after a small piece of the front of his pajamas was wet, the subtle emotion in his heart instantly Dispelled by fright, it turned into guilt and embarrassment.

"...Good morning, are you awake too?"

What's more unfortunate is that when Naixi just discovered the masterpiece in her sleep, the alarm clock that had not yet been turned off also woke up the door, and the door opened its eyes a little bit confusedly, looking at Naixi In front of my eyes, I was still awake with my eyes open. Although I didn't seem to be fully awake, I still said in a hoarse and sleepy voice.

"Ahaha, yes, good morning, brother."

Quickly withdrew her hand, and prevented herself from uncontrollably paying attention to the darker-colored pajamas by the door in front of her, Naixi squeezed out a smile that looked like it should be the same as usual, moved her body to the side of the bed, pretending to be nonchalant and said :

"My alarm clock accidentally woke up my brother? I'm going out. If brother Men is fine, let's continue to sleep for a while."

Looking at the water stain that probably took some time to dry, Nanessi offered a very sincere advice.And probably because he was not fully awake yet, the door didn't even become suspicious, and nodded obediently, agreeing to his proposal:

"...That's right. Then I'll continue to sleep, you go out quickly, don't be late..."

Before he finished speaking, the eyelids of the door closed again, and it seemed that he should have fallen asleep again.

Even if he knew that even if he found the door, he might not be really angry. Seeing this, Naixi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, so he sped up his movements, turned over and got out of bed, changed his clothes, put on his coat and slipped away, gone. The thought of staying in bed for a moment after waking up, and lying down again to feel the peaceful time in the morning.

"Good morning! I'm here—huh? Mr. Hu, you don't look energetic today. Was there a lot of people yesterday?"

When we arrived at the coffee shop, Nanessi greeted me cheerfully as usual, but then noticed that Hu was obviously more tired than usual, probably because he didn't sleep well, and there were faint dark circles under his eyes. It seemed obvious that he was mentally weak, and he was a little surprised, so he asked.

"Uh, that's... no, it's nothing, it's just that I encountered some stressful emergencies yesterday. By the way, today is payday, and this is your salary. Check if you made any mistakes."

Originally, Hu seemed to want to say something, but he gave up as soon as he finished speaking. He sighed tiredly, and weakly scratched the hair on the back of his head. He took out a brown salary paper bag from his apron pocket and handed it to Nanessi.

"Wow! Thank you!"

And the salary has indeed diverted Nanessi's attention. Probably, his previous work was never earned in such a way of consuming physical energy. As excited and happy as receiving a salary for the first time, he took it over, temporarily forgetting about Hu's current status.

Ok?

However, just after receiving the salary bag, Naixi was a little surprised by the thickness of the things in the bag. Looking carefully, the salary bag carefully wrote the number of working hours multiplied by the minimum basic hourly wage currently stipulated by law. , opened it and clicked it a little bit, and after the contents were indeed consistent, Nanaixi, who only thought that there would be a meager pocket money at most due to the conversation before the part-time job, asked directly with a bit of puzzlement:

"That—Mr. Hu, did you accidentally pay too much?"

"Uh, that, no, I just thought about it later, after all, you and Alu are in different situations, so you are still paid according to the hours... Well, it's just, well, you know the situation in the store, probably I will shorten the working hours for you in the future, is that okay?"

Hu coughed dryly, and explained with an unnatural attitude——Since Nanessi knew that Hu was the type of person who was not good at lying, hearing such an obviously wrong tone, he knew that it was definitely not his truth. Don't read your mind, on the surface he pretended not to notice Hu's obvious abnormality, and replied nonchalantly:

"Ah, what I said is okay. The salary is higher than expected at the beginning, so it's okay. How can I adjust it?"

After thinking about it for a while, and vaguely guessing, Nanessi decided to look at the situation first, and didn't press her to ask.And probably he was relieved that he was not pursued so hard. Hu seemed to relax a little, and explained the new shift to him a little bit—in fact, it was to shorten the time even further, so that in the future, Naixi could only If you need help, you can move around freely until noon.

After a brief explanation, the two of them prepared for the opening of the store as usual. Although Nanaixi didn't ask, Hu is the kind of person who can't hide things in his heart. When Nanaisi went outside, he turned over the sign hanging outside After arriving at 'opening' and returning to the store, Hu, who was behind the counter, took out a cigarette case, shook out one and held it between his fingers, and instead of lighting a cigarette with a lighter immediately, he spoke hesitantly .

"You mean, you seem to have said that you have an older brother, right? So... what kind of person is your older brother?"

ah!really!It seems that Mr. Hu has been caught by Brother Men, right?

When Hu asked this question, because he had the memory of his previous life and knew a lot of things that he didn't know now, Nanessi immediately guessed the reason for his abnormal attitude today. He made a fool when he didn’t notice, but he didn’t intentionally let Hu realize the objective degree of his programming ability after part-time job, or what kind of program the management program is, which indirectly hindered this matter. It happened, he wasn't too surprised, at most he sighed in his heart, 'Ah!It really happened! ', and then there is a feeling that the arrival of the heart is a little closer.

"Yeah, but it's my brother, to be more precise, my cousin, but now I'm living together, and it's almost the same as my brother. But Mr. Hu suddenly asked what happened to my brother?"

But even if there are some thoughts in his mind, on the surface, Naixi still looks like a younger brother who doesn't know what his brother is doing behind his back, with an expression of innocence so innocent that it is hard to doubt, as if he was suddenly not too familiar. He asked with some doubts like the reaction of someone who asks about his family members.

"It's not for any particular reason... It's just that I accidentally found out that your brother seems to be a great person yesterday, so I planned to ask what kind of person he is, er, that's it..."

Perhaps he also felt that his question was very abrupt, so Hu scratched his chin in embarrassment, answered vaguely and unclearly, and shifted his gaze away a little, not daring to meet Nanessi's eyes.

...How on earth did my brother talk to Mr. Hu yesterday?Mr. Hu looked like he was a little afraid of his brother.

Nanaixi, who hadn't intended to read minds at first, couldn't help being a little curious seeing Hu like this, but he also knew that if he had contact with Hu, he must have tampered with Hu's BitPhone as before. Interference fails.

And although now he has also mastered the method of canceling the interference, the canceling may alarm the door, and it is not worthwhile to expose it just because of this, so when he changed his mind to read yesterday's situation, he immediately felt a little regretful I gave it up, thought for a while, and answered Hu's question whether it was out of anxiety or because there were more elements of temptation:

"Brother? I think my brother is a good person. Although there are some strange things, and sometimes he is not very good at dealing with the details of getting along with people, but basically he is gentle to everyone... I would rather wrong myself and try to be nice to others. The kind of gentleness that makes normal people feel uncomfortable, so occasionally I am a little bit worried that he will do something stupid because of this one day──Although I think he may not realize it and would not think so, but That's what's most dangerous, I think."

Because the door is another self, it is not easy to objectively evaluate who you are, but when you actually talk about it, Nanessi realizes that it is not as difficult as you thought—probably the door is not only the self that is going to another path, At present, the relationship that exists in front of his eyes as an independent identity, after opening his mouth, he naturally sorted out his feelings about the door.

In fact, after Nanessi said it, he realized that he felt that the current door was a bit worrying──In fact, with the current door and his previous personality and behavior, it was like walking a tightrope, and he would fall into trouble if he didn't pay attention. It’s easy to go beyond normal, walking on the road of life with a dangerous and delicate balance, and the worst thing is that they often don’t realize this at the moment. When they look back and look back from the perspective of a bystander, they find that what makes others It was very frightening to watch, but the person who was in the perspective of the person concerned was unaware and calm, which made the scene even more strange and weird.

Sometimes Nanessi can't help but wonder if some people will decisively alienate him after a short time with him, just because they feel uncomfortable watching such an uncoordinated picture, like now because they have gone through various things and are better than their former self. He said that he has grown up, now that he looks at the door and knows what he is going to do, he can't calm down a little, feels a little uneasy and worried, but this kind of emotional fluctuation is too weak, if he didn't say it today However, Nanessi might not immediately realize that she was worrying about the door.

And what Men are planning to do now is indeed a very dangerous thing. Don't look at him, he didn't seem to make any waves in his previous life, and only let the hackers under his command fight for a while, although he used the management program to freeze everyone's actions. Thinking about it, but they didn't say a few words with Nanessi, and after knowing their decision, they stopped abruptly and restored everything to the original state──It seems that they didn't do any serious crimes in conclusion, but the situation at the time was slightly It’s not right, it’s really hard to say what the ending will be, and if the plan before the implementation is accidentally exposed, no one will believe it even if the door claims that he has no malicious intentions or will not do anything harmful to the world, and what will happen afterwards Needless to say.Thinking of that fate, and then looking back at the scene when she grew up a little later, Nanessi felt a little creepy and scared after a while.

"A gentle person who would rather wrong himself than try to be nice to others...?"

I don't know where Nanessi's thoughts have drifted. After hearing his answer, Hu just showed an indescribable expression, as if he felt that such a statement was not true, but he couldn't be sure that his own opinion was correct, and it was inconvenient to refute or This kind of complex expression that is similar to hesitating to speak is brought up for discussion.Probably because of this, he unconsciously squeezed the slender cigarette in his hand, hesitated for a while, swallowed his thoughts, and suddenly thought of something, he raised another question and asked Nanessi:

"By the way, Nanaishi-kun, since your brother is such a character and his income doesn't seem to be bad, then you probably don't need to work in a small shop like mine, do you?"

"Ah, this... After all, he is my cousin, even though my brother is very kind and willing to take care of my daily life, but I really feel embarrassed to ask for money for something I want to buy, so I want to work hard to make money by myself. Look."

I'm embarrassed to tell the truth. The shameful fact that the 14-year-old self wasted money and almost used up the living expenses of the month ahead of schedule, Naixi used other reasons to blur the past.

"Ah, that's right...it's true to say the least."

Showing an expression as if he had just remembered that the door is Nanaixi's cousin instead of his own brother, Hu did not doubt his words and accepted this statement.

"Yeah, yes... ah! There are guests here! Let's stop talking here. If Mr. Hu wants to smoke, go to the backcourt to smoke. I will lead the seat first—"

Feeling that everything that needs to be said has been said, it happened that another guest pushed the door in, so Nanessi ended the topic in a bright tone, picked up the tray and menu and walked to the door.
