Star Sea·Light Year

Wang Ben looked out of the window blankly, and the unfamiliar scenery passed by little by little. He was going to meet "his" best friend now.

He couldn't remember anything about "him".When he woke up, he was lying in a room smelling of disinfectant, with strange tubes inserted into his body, as if he had been crushed hard all over his body, almost no place was comfortable, and his head was like It's like it has been formatted, and there is nothing left.

I can't even remember my own name, so who is the worried person standing by my side?

To say it is a father, it seems a little too old, but to say it is a grandfather, it seems a little younger.He wanted to ask, but found that he couldn't even make a sound. Just when he was worried that he was speechless, this man said: "Master Ben, are you awake?"

Later he found out that his name was "Wang Ben".When I was driving at night, I encountered a car going against the road, and I couldn't dodge it in time. Although I survived by luck, my head was still hit, so I may have temporarily lost my memory.And this older man is called "Pan Yang" and is the housekeeper of his family.

There is a "housekeeper", which means that "he" has a good family background, right?

Although he had made such mental preparations, he was still stunned when he actually stood at home.The huge house was like a garden, full of lush trees and flowers, and the courtyards one after another made him dizzy. After passing through the many arches, the last place he came to was said to be "his" residence.

But for some reason, this place made him feel very strange.Let alone an impression, he stood there looking around in a daze as if he had strayed into someone else's house.The furniture is quaint. He doesn't understand the so-called "antiques", but he can guess that these things are worth a lot, but based on the face he saw in the mirror before, "he" is about 20 years old. Living in such a house will make people feel a bit too old-fashioned.

Walking through the standard living room to the bedroom, he looked at the bed that must have been slept in for many years. The dark gray tone made him feel very cold.It's obviously "his" room, why does he feel a sense of rejection?

In this gloomy space, the bow placed on the side is a bit abrupt. Although it is a bamboo bow, it is tied with a pale pink ribbon. ...This should be something for girls, right? Does "he" like someone?When I asked Pan Yang, the answer I got was "I've never heard you mention it"... So if there is, it must be a crush, right?But since the other party gave him this ribbon, it might not be unrequited love.

He tried desperately to remember even the faintest shadows, but he couldn't remember anything.

The mobile phone is locked with a password, and it is obvious that "he" can set a fingerprint password, but "he" did not do so... "he" is a very old-fashioned person, right?In this way, even the people "he" usually contacts can't be found.

And "his" father seems to be busy with work abroad. There is only one group photo at home, letting him know that "he" has two family members. Although the woman in the photo is smiling, her eyes look a little sad, while "he" " and "his" father were very stiff.

It seems that "his" family is not harmonious, right?

He squatted down feebly, holding his head in his hands, unable to remember anything. Not only did everything in front of him fail to evoke the slightest fragment of memory in him, but it made him feel uncomfortable.If it is really the place where I have been living, why do I have such emotions?He really couldn't figure it out.When asked about other people working at home, they shook their heads because they also knew almost nothing about "him".

Is "he" a very withdrawn person?

"Didn't 'I' have any good friends before?" He asked puzzled.

"...There should be someone with a good relationship, but I don't know if he is your friend, Master Ben." Pan Yang hesitated.

"A good relationship is not a friend?"

"Because this person's personality is terrible, and he can't compare with you at all, but his family background is similar to yours, so maybe you have been patient just for the sake of the family." When Pan Yang mentioned this person, he couldn't help frowning, looking It turns out that he really doesn't like this person.

"...'I' is such a person?" "His" should have a good family background, so is there still a need to do such a thing?He couldn't understand this.If this is the case, isn't "he" a very snobbish person?

"Master Ben, you value this family more than anyone else." Although Pan Yang said so, he couldn't feel it, because if it was true, why did "he" in the photo look so indifferent?Why are there so few photos with family members?

"Different from you who have always been very diligent, Young Master Meng Tian is a slutty young master who doesn't care about family affairs and hangs out with women all day long." This man named Meng Tian really sounds like he doesn't like the type.

... But here he can't see "him" at all. They should know "him"'s preferences very well, but the bland food makes him a little hard to swallow. He feels that he should like to eat sweets, As a result, when he heard him say that, even Pan Yang was extremely surprised.He said "he" was someone who never had a sweet tooth.

Can amnesia change a person's personality?

He didn't understand either.All he knew was that everything here seemed out of tune with him, and staying here only made him feel stuffy and out of breath.Living here for a few days was a torment for him. When he was still in the hospital, the nurses would come to talk to him with a smile and tell him some interesting things, but these people in "his" family hardly took the initiative Speaking, the home is as dull as a windless midsummer.

"I want to meet that man named Meng Tian." So he made this request.Maybe he'll know something about "him", maybe seeing this person reminds him of something... But it doesn't really matter.He just wanted to leave this place, and when this idea popped up, he suddenly felt an inexplicable joy.Although I'm sorry for Pan Yang who has always taken care of him, but they treat him the same as "him", and this alone makes him unbearable.

He who has lost his memory is actually a little different from "him". He really wants to get his memory back, and he is more anxious than anyone else to remember the past, but he is also a little scared, because the one who can survive in such an environment Having lived for more than 20 years makes him feel a little pitiful. If he really regains his memory, he will have to return to the previous life track. ...Even if you can't remember about "him", this kind of life without friends is very bad, right?

He really wanted to complain, and he also wanted to talk to someone about his feelings. He even thought that if he really hated this friend, then before thinking about the past, he wanted to try to start himself again. life.

Although I don't know what I'm good at, it shouldn't be too difficult to feed myself.

A few days ago, Pan Yang contacted the Meng family, and the Meng family said that their young master is still abroad, and they will contact again after returning home.That day Wang Ben received a phone call.The caller ID was a string of numbers, indicating that "he" did not save the number. After the call was connected, a soft voice came from the other end: "Wang Ben? This is Meng Tian."

Before he had time to think whether the fact that the number was not saved meant that the relationship between the two of them was indeed as Pan Yang said, he heard hesitantly asking: "...Are you okay? I heard that you had a car accident and can't remember the past Isn't it uncomfortable?"

"...Hmm." He was very uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, I'll go back tomorrow and see you soon."

"...Can we meet somewhere else?"

"it is good."

He took a note of paper and wrote down the time and address mentioned on the other end of the phone.

"Will you call me again?"

He was relieved when he heard the other party smile and say yes.After the other party hung up the phone first, he was still tightly holding onto the cell phone that he had already given up on.For the next few days, he stared at the phone screen from time to time, afraid of missing the call from that person.

His phone calls are always at seven o'clock at night, and he will ask him how his day is going. Although there is nothing special to talk about, he can always find something to talk about. "Sleep in a cold room.

Counting the days like this, the promised day finally arrived.

He stood in front of the wardrobe, hesitating whether to wear the formal suit that "he" would wear most of the time, or the few clothes he wanted to wear... He was a little worried that if he also felt that he had become too much, he would Won't there be a sense of alienation towards him...?Wouldn't it be weird to wear a formal suit?

His face was reflected in the window. "He" has a decent appearance, but it is a strange face to him. Although he is looking at his own face, he has the illusion of staring at someone else's photo.

He is not used to this face yet.

When he arrived at the appointed place, he looked around. Since he didn't know Meng Tian's appearance, he didn't know which of the several people in front of him was him.Before, he had imagined Meng Tian's appearance many times in his mind, guessing that he should be a very gentle person, but he always unconsciously remembered that Pan Yang said that he was a "swinger brother" with a "terrible personality" , I can't piece together what he looks like.Because he was very kind and considerate on the phone, he didn't look like a person with a bad personality at all, and his voice was very gentle, so he didn't sound like a loafer at all.

"Wang Ben!" Hearing someone calling his name, he hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice.

The young man who smiled and waved at him was a very beautiful man, completely different from what he had imagined, even wearing this light pink clothes would not make people feel strange.His hair looks a little red in the sun, his light-colored pupils are like amber, and his fair skin seems to glow... No matter how you look at it, he looks like a person of foreign origin, right?

Although it is not appropriate to use "beautiful" to describe a man, there is no better word than this.

"...Meng Tian?" He asked tentatively, and the other party smiled and nodded.

"Is your body all right?"

"Yeah." After staying in the hospital for a while, and recuperating at home for nearly a month, he no longer felt any discomfort in his body.

"That's good....Should we eat and chat outside, or go to my house?...Well...go to my house." Before he could answer, Meng Tian made a decision, "I'll go in and buy some desserts first, you want to come together ?"

The place they made an appointment was outside a pastry shop.

Wang Ben hesitated for a while, then nodded.

"He" doesn't have a sweet tooth, but he craves dessert.

Meng Tian smiled: "The desserts in this store are delicious. If you don't like sweets, I recommend you to try creme brulee."

"Ah."

The owner of this pastry shop looks to be in his 30s, with a very hearty smile.

"Long time no see." He greeted Meng Tian with a smile, it seemed that he was a regular visitor here, "Oh, did you two know each other?"

"Ah?" Meng Tian looked at Wang Ben in confusion, "You said he is the one who has the same taste as mine?"

"That's right. But you always appear at different times." Wang Ben also looked at the man in front of him in surprise.

"'I' will also come to buy dessert?" The shop owner looked at him with some doubts.

"Because I injured my head in the accident, I don't remember the past now." Wang Ben explained the reason, but does this mean that "he" also knows how to eat sweets?So... this is "his" secret, right?

"Haha, this seems like something you would do." Meng Tian said with a smile, "Don't worry, if you don't want others to know, I won't say it."

"I don't care... I also said at home that I wanted to eat dessert, but it scared them..." Wang Ben was relieved when he knew this. Maybe the difference between him and "him" is not as he imagined that big.

"Then prepare the ones you usually buy all the time, maybe after eating them, it will evoke some memories."

Meng Tian lives in an apartment building.

Although it is obvious at first glance that this is a high-end residential area, compared with "his" home, it is very ordinary.Pan Yang said that their family backgrounds were similar, so why did he live in such a place?

When the door was opened, the refreshing sunshine smelled.

"The house is a bit messy." Meng Tian took the slippers and handed them to him.

Unlike "his" home that seems to be always spotless, a little messiness reveals the breath of life.Meng Tian seems to like the furniture made of logs very much. The whole place is in simple and elegant light colors, but there is a grass green carpet in the living room, and a row of small green potted plants are also placed on the balcony.Sunlight penetrates through the beige gauze curtains, and the crystal-like piano reflects dazzling brilliance, bathing the whole room in warm sunlight.

This is a nice "home".He changed his shoes and restrained his eyes.This room is very open. There is no strict boundary between the living room, kitchen, dining room, study, and balcony. On the right hand side is a tall bookshelf with a wooden ladder. There are many books on the bookshelf. Next to the wooden ladder is a A comfortable-looking recliner with a small coffee table next to it, just big enough to hold a cup of tea and a plate of snacks.

The red kettle was breathing white gas, and Meng Tian put the snacks on the light blue porcelain plates, "You don't have to be so restrained, you can just sit down or look around." He turned his head and said with a smile.

Wang Ben nodded. Even though he said that, it was impossible not to feel restrained. After all, this was not his home, and he knew very little about Meng Tian.

"Is black tea okay?"

"Ah."

Wang Ben noticed that the four chairs on the dining table are different, but it doesn't make people feel that they don't match.The tableware and tea set are very beautiful, and the black tea is steaming in the delicate porcelain cup. Unlike "him", Meng Tian should be a person who enjoys life very much, right?

"Well...what kind of person was I before?" He asked hesitantly.

"He is a very good person! He was always the most popular among girls in school." Meng Tian smiled and blinked.

"...Really?" He couldn't imagine this at all, "We used to be alumni?"

"That's right. From middle school to university graduation, we've been in the same school for a long time."

Then he should know about "him" very well, perhaps better than Panyang and the others, what kind of person "he" really is. Is "he" someone different from what he imagines now?Not rigid, indifferent, snobbish, or even withdrawn...

"...Does 'I' have no friends?"

"How could that be!" Meng Tian was surprised by his question, "You were the director of the Archery Club when you were in school, basically everyone in the Archery Club has a good relationship with you, and you are also a member of the Student Union. By the way! And A friend who has been in the same school as us is called 'Zheng', but he is a super workaholic. When we contacted him before, he said that we will meet again after the work at hand is almost busy. Then maybe we will remember the time we spent together. What about those times!"

Meng Tian's words made him couldn't help but nodded with a smile.

"...I've hardly seen you smile before." Hearing what Meng Tian said, Wang Ben immediately tensed his face.

"But you are very bright when you smile, you should just smile more like this." Meng Tian's smile is pretty, and when his eyes are narrowed, the long eyelashes will cast shadows on his face.

"Is 'my' personality stuffy?" He was about to ask if that was the color of his hair, since he noticed that his eyelashes looked red in the sun, too.But I felt that it was a bit too abrupt to ask such a question when we first met.

"...I can't talk about being old-fashioned, but because your family is very old, you have a stubborn side of your personality.... After all, as the heir of that kind of family, you don't have much freedom. You probably don't like staying in there?"

Although he didn't know how Meng Tian realized this, what he said was the truth. ... He doesn't know if his family is very old, but if there is no freedom... then it can indeed explain the feeling of being out of breath.

"Well. I always feel that it's cold and uncomfortable there. I heard from Panyang that we have similar family backgrounds. Why do you live in such a place?" After asking, he suddenly felt that he was a little rude.

"Haha, there is still a difference in our family background. My family is considered a rising star, and it cannot be compared with yours. If you say that your family background is similar, there is only 'Zheng', who is also the heir of an ancient family."

...In this way, "he" should not be a snobbish person.

"Speaking of...'my' mobile phone still uses a digital password, but I have no idea about the password...Maybe there is something in the mobile phone that I don't want others to know." Maybe there will be photos of his sweetheart, he thought That pink ribbon, can't help but ask curiously, "Does 'I' have a girl I like?"

"Maybe there is, but I haven't heard you mention it, but you are not the kind of person who will frankly say that you like it....Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"... There is a pale pink ribbon tied to the bow at home. I think it should be something for a girl... It is specially tied there, making me wonder if it is a gift from someone I like..."

Meng Tian shook his head in surprise: "...I don't know about that either."

"Password... I don't think you're the type to store important things in your phone, but it's troublesome if your phone doesn't work." Meng Tian thought for a while, said a few numbers, and he followed what he said in surprise. Lost in, but not this string, Meng Tian reported several other numbers.

"Huh? How do you know?" Are they close enough to exchange passwords?Thinking of Pan Yang even thinking that "he" might just deal with Meng Tian superficially, he couldn't help but rejoice that he came here. It seems that they really don't understand "him", or "he" is also very depressed at home, right?

"I heard you mention it before, but luckily I still remember it." Meng Tian lowered his head and scooped up a spoonful of pudding.

He flipped through the phone excitedly, but the truth is exactly as Meng Tian said, there is nothing stored in the phone, the text messages are empty, the photo library is also empty, and the address book has a lot of numbers,... But why didn't they save it? Where's Meng Tian's number?Only then did he think of this incident again, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of the last four digits of that string of numbers... Isn't that exactly the password he entered just now?

"...It turns out that the password of the mobile phone is the last four digits of your number... So we should have a good relationship, right?" Although he felt a little weird, he didn't think much about it.

"Well, of course." But "he" didn't tell him that "he" also likes these snacks, nor did he mention that "he" has someone he likes.

"By the way, do you want to stay at my house temporarily?" Meng Tian asked him a little abruptly, "I still have some photos and videos of your previous games here, and I won't be able to finish watching them in a while....Although I say it too much , but the lost memory may not be retrieved, maybe one day you will get tired of chasing your past and want to start a new life.... Before that, can I take care of you temporarily?"

He understands that it is useless to rush to retrieve his memory. If he still can't remember his previous life after doing everything he can, he can only start over, because memory loss is not a "disease" , He still has to reintegrate into society and live a normal life.

"...Take care of?" Meng Tian's request is very strange. The "care" he said doesn't mean taking care of his life, so what exactly is he trying to say?

"Because you were a very strict person in the past, so I want you to understand some things that you could not accept in the past, so that even if you have new memories during the time when you lost your memory, when After the memory is revived, I will not be unable to accept this period of life."

He understood what Meng Tian meant.

As he said, his family is very old and has many rules, so "he" and him have boundaries that cannot be crossed, and what Meng Tian wants him to understand is these boundaries.

"Yeah." He also lowered his head and took a bite of pudding.

The pudding gradually melted, and when the sweet taste dissipated, the slight bitterness spread at the same time.
