I come from a parallel world

On the way back after recording the confession that night, Gao Ran didn't pay attention when turning downhill, and fell far away with his car.

The trousers were torn and the knees were bleeding profusely.

Gao Ran was in a trance for a few seconds, limped over to help the car up, and found that the chain had fallen off.

"Fuck!"

Gao Ran squatted down, took advantage of the moonlight to grab the chain and put it on the small wheel, and then hung the chain on the big wheel, biting two or three teeth, he turned the pedals, and the job was done.

His hands were dark, Gao Ran grabbed a handful of Xue and rubbed his hands vigorously, and now all three souls and six souls have returned.

"Hey."

Gao Ran sighed, society is complicated, relationships are complicated, people's hearts are complicated, simple and pure things have to be found with a magnifying glass.

Gao Ran couldn't go home like this, so he went to Jia Shuai's place.

Jia Shuai is taller than Gao Ran, so the clothes for him will not be too long.

Gao Ran took off his trousers and went into the bathroom, washed away the mud from the wound on his knee, and looked around.

The bathroom is quite small.

Bottles and cans are all placed in a row with the front side, not crooked or slanted, pieces of towels are pulled flat and hung on the rope, and the cloth strips of the mop are all vertically downward, so that they will not be punctured randomly.

There is no clutter in the bathroom, which OCD will love.

There is a problem with the water heater, the water temperature rises and falls for a while, and it takes a long time to study the high fuel consumption. He closed his eyes and lowered his head to wash his hair, and his eyes suddenly opened.

Gao Ran raised his head nervously to look up, the water mist drifted randomly, and he looked to the left again, the mirror was all scratched up, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

The coolness lingered, and Gao Ran shivered.

Jia Shuai was shining Gao Ran's shoes by the pool when he suddenly heard shouts, "Shuai Shuai? Shuai Shuai!"

He put down the rag and went to the bathroom, instead of going in directly, he stood at the door and asked, "What's wrong?"

There was a scream from inside.

Jia Shuai pushed the door, and saw the boy frantically turning off the shower head, scratching his back and jumping around.

Gao Rangui cried and howled, "Damn it, I'm burnt to death!"

Jia Shuai looked at the boy's back and immediately poured cold water on it.

Gao Ran gritted his teeth and shivered, "You won't be foaming?"

Jia Shuai frowned and remained silent.

By the time Jia Shuai turned off the tap, Gao Ran was already numb from the cold.

There was a big red patch on his back, but there was no blistering.

Jia Shuai tried the water heater, "It's broken."

Gao Ran stared, "Then what should I do? I have soaped my head and body, and the bubbles haven't been washed off yet."

Jia Shuai pursed his lips, "You wait, I'll boil the water."

Gao Ran folded his arms and urged, "Then hurry up."

The bathroom became silent again.

Gao Ran stood against the wall, did not dare to look in the mirror, and memorized the ninety-nine multiplication table with his eyelids half closed.

"One one gets one, one two gets two, one three gets three..."

Jia Shuai quickly came in with two large water bottles.

Gao Ran was taken aback, "So fast?"

Jia Shuai poured boiling water into the bucket, "Go to uncle's house to get it."

Gao Ran said in a low voice, "Your uncle is quite easy to talk to."

The two big bottles of water are either for soaking feet or taking a bath. It's very good to be able to bring Shuai Shuai all over at once.

Jia Shuai straightened up, "wash it."

Gao Ran stopped him, "Then what, Shuai Shuai, don't go, let's talk."

Jia Shuai turned his head sideways, with a smile in his eyes, "You are afraid."

Gao Ran stiffened his neck, "I'm afraid of a fart!"

Seeing that Fa Xiao was about to leave, he hurriedly surrendered, "All right, all right, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, let's go!"

Shuai Shuai's mother just passed away a few months ago, so there is always an illusion that he is still there.

Jia Shuai could see his thoughts, "I never dreamed about my mother, she is not here."

Gao Ran was not appeased at all, "Let's not talk about this."

As a result, Gao Ran passed the main room and subconsciously glanced at the portrait on the table.

Black and white photo, a young woman with braids, gentle eyebrows and a Jiangnan charm.

It was the first time for Gao Ran to look at Shuai Shuai's mother so carefully, and found that Shuai Shuai was very similar to her, very similar.

I don't know what Shuai Shuai's father looks like.

Gao Ran looked at it, not afraid, "Auntie, you have to bless Shuai Shuai."

Jia Shuai asked, "What are you mumbling about?"

Gao Ran said, "Your mother is laughing."

Jia Shuai didn't seem to hear clearly, "What?"

Gao Ran repeated, "In the photo, she is..."

His words stopped abruptly.

The young woman in the photo pressed the corners of her mouth, frowning slightly, and there was no smile at all.

Gao Ran closed her eyes hard and then opened them again. The young woman still looked melancholy and didn't smile.

The pores all over his body exploded, and he pulled Fa Xiao away without saying a word.

Several things happened tonight.

First, Li Juan found out that she committed suicide, knew the truth, and crashed her car downhill, then the inexplicable coolness in the bath, and the weird portraits came out one after another.

Gao Ran was in a state of confusion, he didn't bring any medicine, and Brother Xiao Bei was not around, so he couldn't sleep at all.

Single bed with two quilts underneath, very warm.

Jia Shuai slept on the other side.

Gao Ran turned around and saw Jia Shuai's feet. His nails were neatly cut, unlike him, who often pulled them with his hands, which were uneven.

"Handsome, are you asleep?"

"not yet."

"Don't tell my mother about my crash."

"it is good."

"I'll put the pants back on, and I'll give them to you after they're washed."

"Take it and wear it, I can't fit anymore."

"That's fine."

Gao Ran rested his hands on the back of his head, "Shuai Shuai, where do you think people go when they die?"

The room was silent for a moment, then Jia Shuai's voice sounded, "Every place is different."

Gao Ran knows that there are many types of books to be read, and there are many things he understands, "Why is it different?"

He did not respond for a long time.

Jia Shuai fell asleep.

In winter, the temperature is low, the blood circulation is slow, and the wound is not easy to heal. Once it is exposed to the air and the wind blows, it will sting and hurt.

Gao Ran's knee injury could be hidden from his parents, but he couldn't hide it from the old man Feng Bei.

Those who work in criminal investigation are used to the front line of life and death, so this kind of skin trauma is not worth mentioning at all.

But when it was spread on the young man, Feng Bei felt uncomfortable.

"How did you do it?"

Feng Bei took away the paper box on the table, ate and ate, knew how to eat, didn't listen to what he said, and didn't want to smoke.

Gao Ran's cheeks were bulging, and when he spoke, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake foamed out of his mouth, "What's wrong with eating a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from you? You don't usually know how many dates I ate."

Feng Bei disliked it, "It's so dirty."

Ignore the high burning, concentrate on eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, it is soft and delicious.

Feng Bei laughed, "Little mouse, what's going on?"

Gao Ran swallowed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his mouth and drank, "Didn't you see it? You just fell off your bike."

Feng Bei tilted his head and jokingly said, "Who said that my driving skills are amazing? Huh?"

"My driving skills are amazing. It's not like you haven't seen it before."

Gao Ran licked the corner of his mouth, "As the saying goes, people stumble and horses stumble. It's normal. The injury on my knee looks serious, but it's actually okay. It hurt when I fell, and it's fine now."

Feng Bei asked, "Is that why I didn't come back that night?"

Gao Ran ate osmanthus cake again, "Yeah."

Feng Bei patted his hand away with a serious expression, "Children, don't just spend the night at other people's homes."

Gao Ran felt the pain, rubbed the back of his hand and said, "Shuai Shuai is not someone else."

He turned his head and found that the man was staring at him with strange eyes, "Brother Xiao Bei, why are you looking at me like that?"

Feng Bei gave a thumbs up, "Student Gao Ran, you are amazing."

One word can make him angry.

You can't do anything to people, you can only hold back.

Gao Ran went to do his homework after eating and drinking. He never mentioned the people and things about the serial murders to Feng Bei from the beginning to the end.

Everyone has their own ending, and the story is turned.

Everyone has to move forward, not backward.

Feng Bei seemed to have a lot of free time, instead of pulling Gao Ran to discuss the case, he leaned on the bedside to read novels.

Gao Ran turned around immediately when he heard the slap, "No smoking!"

Feng Beitiao laughed, "You also care about this?"

Gao Ran threw away the pen, and went over to pull out a piece of bed sheet that was pressed under it to show him.

There was a small black hole in it, hot with soot.

Feng Bei raised his eyebrows, "I did it?"

Gao Ran rolled his eyes at him, "Otherwise?"

Feng Bei looked at the hole, it was quite small, about the size of a fingernail, "I can't, I've been smoking for many years, but I've never burned the quilt."

Gao Ran is used to old men acting like rascals, he hummed, "Here is the ironclad evidence, you can see for yourself."

"Thanks to my mother not being diligent, she changed my sheets only once when I remembered, otherwise I would have discovered it earlier."

Feng Bei calmed down, "If it's a big problem, it's enough to make up for it."

Gao Ran said, "How to mend it?"

Feng Bei went to look at the small hole again, poking his fingers from top to bottom, "Is there a sewing basket?"

Gao Ran went downstairs lightly, took the basket back to the room in the dark, and locked the balcony door worryingly.

Feng Bei asked the boy to bring him a needle and thread, "Any color of thread will do."

Gao Ran squeezed the end of the thread and threaded the needle against the desk lamp, but failed to put it on several times. He put the end of the thread in his mouth to suck it, and then went to thread it again.

Feng Bei looked at the cross-eyed boy, his face twitched, "You are so young, why is your eyesight so poor?"

Gao Ran said, "You can do what you want!"

Feng Bei sighed in his heart, saying that you are still flirting with me, you are used to it.

Gao Ran's eyesight is not very good. He read comic novels under the covers with a flashlight. He is a little short-sighted, but he doesn't have glasses.

It is estimated that I will not last until the third year of high school, and I will wear a pair on the bridge of my nose.

If you apply for the police academy, you may have to undergo surgery.

Feng Bei asked Gao Ran to find him a piece of old clothes he didn't wear, picked up a piece of cloth to patch up the small hole, and pulled the last stitch into it. The needlework was very neat.

"The sheets are quite old, at least five years old. If your mother asks, you can tell me that you don't know and you can pass the test."

Gao Ran looked at Xiao Patch, "Hey, Brother Xiaobei, you can even do this."

Feng Bei took the scissors and cut off the thread, "Otherwise, I should learn how to be your brother."

In fact, he also accidentally discovered that he knew how to do this, as if he had done countless times of sewing and mending for someone, and he was extremely proficient.

I haven't learned it, as if I was born with it.

Maybe she was a clever, virtuous and virtuous girl in her previous life?

Gao Ran touched the small patch, the sewing was really good, much better than his mother's sewing, he blurted out, "Brother Bei, can you knit a sweater?"

Feng Bei raised his eyelids and looked over, "Huh?"

Gao Ran took out the pair of sweater pants from the closet, colored ones, and spent several cold winters with him, "Aren't they ugly?"

Feng Bei said, "It can be said to be quite ugly."

Gao Ran sighed, "My mother just added the bottom part of bright red a few days ago, and she pointed at me to wear it to college."

Feng Bei pursed his thin lips, "It's pretty good, if you persist, you can become a family heirloom."

Gao Ran said, "Don't hold back."

Feng Bei let out a muffled laugh, tears streaming down his face, "Put it on and show me."

Gao Ran had a determined expression of "you are dreaming".

Feng Bei wiped the corners of his eyes, "Your mother's woolen pants are not fancy needles..."

Gao Ran was startled, "Brother Xiaobei, do you still know flower needles?"

Feng Bei himself was also shocked.

He frowned, did I make a sweater or pants for anyone?no.

How did the word Huazhen come out of his mouth?

Gao Ran was silent for a while, "Brother Xiaobei, have you really never talked to anyone?"

The weird feeling in Feng Bei's heart was swept away, "Nonsense!"

Even if he talks about a partner, he is a big man, and he will not learn to fight for the other party.

It's too difficult, too tiring, I don't know how much thought I have to waste, and I'm still a girl.

If you really want to do this, unless it is a love that goes to the bone, a love that exceeds life, and transcends dignity and soul.

Feng Bei likes teenagers, not the kind of love an elder brother has for a younger brother, he has desires, there is no doubt about it, and he is full of expectations for his growth, he is willing to share life and work with him, and wants to bring him into his circle.

But it has not yet reached the point where it is deeply rooted.

However, according to such an uncontrollable pampering, that situation will definitely appear in the future.

Feng Bei sighed, worried about the rest of his life, wondering if he could get what he wanted.

Snowflakes fell in the middle of the night.

Feng Bei didn't feel sleepy, he leaned over the boy's wound and blew on it with his mouth.

"Fizzy, when will you be able to calm down?"

Feng Bei then thought about it, it doesn't matter if he is stable or not, as long as he is a good person.

He found himself liking everything about teenagers.

It doesn't matter when it's a hippie smiling face, jumping up and down, or when it's silly, soft and cute, or when it's analyzing the case, reasoning layer by layer, and being wise and clever.

A voice suddenly sounded in Feng Bei's ear, "Brother Xiao Bei."

"Hold!"

Feng Bei's face was flushed, but fortunately the room was dark, he felt guilty, and immediately preempted, "It's the middle of the night, why did you wake up?"

Gao Ran panted, "I had a dream."

Feng Bei lay beside the boy, "Another nightmare?"

Gao Ran swallowed, "I dreamed of a handsome mother."

Feng Bei turned around, "And then?"

Gao Ran rubbed her sweaty face against the quilt, "She looked at me in her dream, smiled at me, kept smiling, but didn't speak."

Feng Bei tutted, "It sounds strange that Shen panicked."

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the young man moved towards him, timid and frightened, "It's just a dream, it's okay."

Gao Ran complained, "I haven't finished what follows."

Feng Bei surrendered, "Okay, ancestor, I won't talk anymore, you say it."

Gao Ran shrank into the quilt, revealing a black head, "Later I dreamed of a man, but I didn't know him."

Feng Bei said, "Jia Shuai's father?"

Gao Ran asked, "Why do you think of his father?"

Feng Bei analyzed it to him, "One, the first thing you dreamed about was Jia Shuai's mother, and the second one was a man, I don't know him, but the expression on your face when you spoke was recalling, doubting, maybe his father Sex is [-] to [-] percent."

Gao Ran, "..."

"I'm not sure, I've never dreamed of it before."

"Don't think about it too much. In a word, there is nothing left when a person dies. In the world of the living, only the living can participate."

Feng Bei pressed the quilt, "Go to sleep."

Gao Ran was very confused, "Brother Xiaobei, are there really no ghosts in this world?"

Feng Bei yawned, "No."

Gao Ran continued to struggle, "What if there is?"

Feng Bei's eyelids closed together, "What's the matter?"

Gao Ran twisted the man's arm, "Don't sleep yet, you haven't said what to do if there is a ghost?"

Feng Bei was helpless, "Believe it or not, I will slap you?"

Gao Ran said, "I don't believe it."

Feng Bei grabbed the young man's wrist, pretending to be ferocious, as if he was about to lash out.

Gao Ran closed his eyes, and a grunt sounded.

Feng Bei couldn't laugh or cry.

What a living treasure, he wanted to keep it private for as long as he could, for a lifetime.

When Gao Ran was putting on his cotton-padded clothes in the morning, he remembered the piece of jade. He opened the drawer and looked through it, and the jade was gone.

"Mom, where's the jade in my drawer?"

Liu Xiu was drying clothes under the eaves. "I packed it for you yesterday afternoon. I don't remember where I put it. You can look for it on the table."

Gao Ran found the piece of jade among a bunch of gadgets, touched it, and put it on his neck.

When he arrived at the door, Gao Ran put the jade plug inside his collar and pressed it to his chest.

Didn't it mean that if there is aura, any evil thing should be respected three points?That should work.

Liu Xiu waited for her son to come downstairs, "Where did Yu come from?"

Gao Ran said he bought it at a small stall.

Liu Xiu poured out the water in the basin, "You can't wear jade indiscriminately, I'll ask your dad to buy you a golden peanut later."

Gao Ran waved his hand, "No, that's something little girls wear, I don't wear it."

Liu Xiu patted his son's arm lightly, "Stupid you, do you know how hard it is to persuade your dad to buy you a peanut? If you don't wear it yourself, you can't keep it for your wife to wear later?"

"You always think so far."

Gao Ran twitched his lips, and he discussed, "Mom, can you stop digging through my drawers in the future?"

Liu Xiu said, "I wasn't flipping, I was cleaning."

Gao Ran pouted, "Don't tell such lies."

Liu Xiu patted him again, this time with more force, "I'm your mother, I can't even open a drawer? Is it possible that I have to report to you?"

Gao Ran said exaggeratedly, "Mom, I have the right to privacy."

Liu Xiu put on a straight face, "Privacy? Tell your dad about this!"

Before Gao Ran took a few steps, he heard his mother say slowly, "The novel you hid in the closet was confiscated by your father."

"..."

There is no way to pass the day.

"The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind, the singing of victory is loud, singing about our dear motherland..."

Mrs. Gao is singing in the house.

Gao Ran was quite surprised, "Grandma is in such a good mood."

Liu Xiu twisted the wet autumn clothes, and got a lot of water, "Your uncle said that after the New Year, he would take your grandma to live with him."

Gao Ran was surprised, "Really?"

Liu Xiu mocked, "That's right, the sun is coming out from the west."

She told the old lady, and the old lady was so happy that she took out the red suitcase that she married in the early years and said she wanted to leave.

If she hadn't stopped her, she wouldn't know where she would have gone right now.

"Didn't you see your grandma's impatient look, as if she was suffering so much from me."

Gao Ran scratched his face, "Mom, why does grandma like uncle so much?"

Liu Xiu snorted, "I'm short of heart."

"I've been making troubles all day long, and I can't tell who is the one who really treats her well."

Gao Ran said, "People are getting old."

Liu Xiu shook her head, "Your grandma was like that when she was young, she weighed rice for her, she said no in front of me, then turned around and told the big guy that I had no heart, and I didn't give her rice, and I went to your uncle and aunt. , she was cowardly."

Gao Ran helped wring out the clothes. In his world, grandma and his mother hadn't had much trouble, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was reasonable.

There are some differences in this world.

Liu Xiu remembered something, and said angrily, "I don't know what's wrong now, I quarrel with me in the factory every now and then, and when I catch someone, they say I'm blind and can't recognize my son."

Gao Ran picked at his little finger, but didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of being found abnormal.

After the case was solved, Jia Shuai never came to Gao Ran's house and went to school with him.

They don't get together after school, Gao Ran has to go to cram school, but the schoolmaster Jia Shuai doesn't need it.

Gao Ran breathed the cold winter air and went to school against the wind, his ears were so cold that they were about to fall off.

When he arrived at the school gate, he bumped into Zhang Rong and wanted to say hello, but the other party had already entered the school by bicycle.

Hit your mouth high.

He hadn't seen Zhang Rong walking with that boy recently, and they separated.

Zhang Rong has lost a lot of weight, his round apple face has turned into an oval face.

Puppy love really doesn't work.

Zhang Rong's class is next door to Gao Ran's, so she is very famous in his class.

She looks pretty, has a good figure, studies well, is good-looking, and doesn't mess around.

Jiang Xiang, Gao Ran's new deskmate, likes Zhang Rong. Ever since he knew that Zhang Rong had broken up with his partner, he began to torture Gao Ran.

For example, asking Gao Ran to help him speak well in front of Zhang Rong, this point alone, the degree of difficulty is huge.

Gao Ran told Jiang Xiang that Zhang Rong didn't like boys who were shorter than her.

The man Jiang Xiang was fine, he directly used "my family is super rich" to block him.

Can't communicate.

As usual, morning self-study is the busiest time of the day for everyone, chatting, catching up on sleep, singing, eating, passing small notes, etc., are too busy.

Boys and girls are the same.

Jiang Xiang threw a pack of beef jerky to the tablemate, "I heard that a girl in No. [-] Middle School got pregnant and had an abortion."

Gao Ran opened the beef jerky and ate it, "No way?"

Jiang Xiang said it was spreading, "It can't be fake, the girl's parents have come to the school to make trouble."

Gao Ran said while eating, "The ones who suffer are girls who don't know how to protect themselves."

"The two are your love and my wish, not forced."

Jiang Xiang was very envious and jealous, "Girls are pretty, but boys are not. Not only are they ugly, but they are also poor. I don't know how to coax people into bed."

Gao Ran's attention was all distracted by the beef jerky, which was fragrant, spicy, and chewy.

"That's also a kind of ability. We are very knowledgeable, and we don't know it."

Jiang Xiang bumped his elbow, "Are you curious?"

Gao Ran asked, "What?"

Jiang Xiang blushed, "That one."

Gao Ran's face was also red, "I'm not curious, I will experience it sooner or later."

Jiang Xiang coughed, "That being said, I'm still curious."

Gao Ran didn't continue this topic with him, he was not very interested, "Then you should be curious slowly."

Jiang Xiang said he had seen the dish.

Gao Ran whistled, "Brother, yes."

As a result, Jiang Xiang said that he had read it, but he still didn't understand what was going on.

Gao Ran almost choked on his saliva, "Piracy?"

"Fart, I never buy pirated things." Jiang Xiang's volume decreased, blushing into ass, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Gao Ran made up the picture in his head, and remembered the scene of the crime. He trembled, and his curiosity was gone.

Jiang Xiang groaned, "Next week is the end of the semester, why don't you come to my house to play after the exam? I bought a new set of game equipment, and it's super cool to play."

After listening to the second half of the sentence, Gao Ran became excited, "Okay."

He glanced at the back of the head of the second from the left in the first row, "Can I take someone there?"

Jiang Xiang made a sound from his nose, "You are a master of learning, can you play games?"

Gao Ran said that he can do everything.

Jiang Xiang's eyes widened, and he said for a while, "Almighty."

Gao Ran said, "Almost."

Jiang Xiang was incredulous, "Then why did he become good buddies with you?"

Gao Ran, "..."

On the first Sunday of winter vacation, Gao Ran and Jia Shuai went to Jiang Xiang's house.
