The Road to Rebirth

After eating the barbecue, Tang Zhiheng was called back by his parents. He originally planned to go to see the house with Ye Zhichen and Xiao Ning, but Qin Ziyan didn't think much of it. The houses there were old apartments of a certain age, and Ye Zhichen and Xiao Ning might not like them. .

Seeing that the two of them couldn't find a house before, Qin Ziyan suggested that they move to share the apartment with Li Xin. Li Xin's apartment still had two guest rooms, which happened to accommodate two more people, but Ye Zhichen and Xiao Ning were hindered by "Qin Teacher"'s apartment, I'm too embarrassed to move in.

Li Xin and the others know his current situation, he will basically not go back to live in, and the apartment is free, but after all, it is the apartment left by the former Qin Ziyan, so it is not good to make decisions without authorization, and he is not sure about Tang Zhiheng's sudden proposal Suggestion, what is the state of mind.

"What are you thinking about?" Qu Mohan saw that Qin Ziyan had been silent since getting in the car, leaning on the back of the chair and distracted, he couldn't help comforting him, "If you find it difficult, you can refuse, and I will take care of the house for you arrange."

Qin Ziyan looked at Qu Mohan from the side, and said with a light smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the apartment is a bit old, Zhichen and Xiao Ning may not be used to living in it, but the environment is not bad, the elderly are more conservative and like to live in it." There, so most of the people living there are old people.”

This is the first time Qu Mohan heard Qin Ziyan mention the past. In fact, he wants to see Qin Ziyan's past life more than anyone. What kind of mentality does Tang Zhiheng have? This time he did him a favor.

"I don't seem to have told you about me." Qin Ziyan turned to look at Qu Mohan with a smile.

Qu Mohan was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Don't force it, just say it when you want to."

Qin Ziyan let out a low laugh, leaned back on the chair and said slowly: "When I was in elementary school, my dad died in a fire, but it was a kind of relief for him, if he didn't die, then I will spend the next few years in prison, the fire was not an accident, it was my dad who burned down a house by himself."

"My mother was disfigured in the fire, and she also suffered from a whole body of diseases. I happened to be taking a summer vacation class that day, so I escaped the catastrophe. Later, my mother and I moved to the apartment where we live now. , my mother is disfigured, her body is not as flexible as before, and it is very difficult to find a job."

"But life has to be lived. In order to support me, my mother found a job as a cleaner and went to clean the road before dawn. Several years passed like this. One winter, my mother went to clean the road as usual. , was knocked down by a tired-driving van and was not able to get back from the robbery."

Qu Mohan stretched out his hand to grasp Qin Ziyan's hand on his knee, seeing Qin Ziyan's indifferent smile, his heart ached slightly.

"That day was the anniversary of my father's death. When I was young, I was not sensible. When I saw my parents in an accident in the fire, I only knew how to cry. When I grew up, I gradually understood. The memory and feelings for my father became more and more complicated. All this is my father. The tragedy he caused was that he ruined an originally harmonious family."

From the memories he inherited, Qin Ziyan felt the former Qin Ziyan's love and hatred for his father. His father gave him the best memories when he was a child. His initial respect and love for his father has always been hidden in his heart, but if it wasn't for his father, he and Mother will not be so miserable.

"In any case, he is still my father. After I went to see him in the cemetery that day, I was in a daze on the way back. I didn't see that the green light had turned into a red light. I just crossed the road all the way. When I heard The sound of brakes and the violent impact, when I came back to my senses, it was too late."

Qu Mohan's hand holding the steering wheel was slightly tightened, and it took a long time before he slowly released it, and said in a deep voice, "It's all over."

Qin Ziyan curled her lips slightly: "Professor Qin and Aunt Qin said that since Teacher Qin is willing to trade me with his life, they are willing to respect Teacher Qin's decision. It was my fault that made them lose Teacher Qin, so they will spend the rest of my life, Give them back a son worthy of the Qin family."

"Is this why you changed?" Qu Mohan asked lightly. In fact, he should have noticed that every step Qin Ziyan took now was copying Qin Ziyan's life. To be precise, Qin Ziyan was using his whole life to replace Qin Ziyan completed his unfinished life.

Qu Mohan frowned inadvertently. After understanding the whole matter clearly, Qin Ziyan's sudden change also had a reasonable answer, but for some reason, he still felt that there were still many unspeakable abruptness. Qin Ziyan's life was not for everyone. Can "copy" and "imitate".

What's more important is the attitude of Qin Ziyan's parents. No matter how similar Qin Ziyan and Qin Ziyan are now, even if Qin Ziyan is used as a substitute, Qin's father and Qin mother's attitude towards Qin Ziyan is too intimate. After all, Qin Ziyan is the root cause of Qin Ziyan's car accident.

And there are too many coincidences. Qin Ziyan has excellent calligraphy and literary achievements. In addition, Qin Ziyan is also a master of Sanda. If he wants to replicate this kind of life, he can't do it without ten or twenty years of hard work. Then Qin Ziyan But coincidentally everything can be copied.

If Qin Ziyan had another face, it would be the original Qin Ziyan.

change face...

Qu Mohan's heart suddenly tightened, and his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a few beats. The answer that was ready to come out gradually took shape in his mind, and a few clips flashed through his memory quickly, Qin's father and Qin's mother's attitude towards Qin Ziyan, Qin Ziyan's daily words and deeds , novels, calligraphy, ink painting...

The car turned all the way into a narrow street lined with old storefronts, mostly small restaurants and fruit shops. Under Qin Ziyan's guidance, the car drove forward for a while and saw the entrance of an apartment far away. , At noon, the entrance to the apartment was deserted.

"Just go straight in this road, Unit 17, Building 2." Qin Ziyan pointed to the road in front of him.

According to Qin Ziyan's instructions, Qu Mohan continued to drive forward for a certain distance. As Qin Ziyan described, the apartment was still a very old-fashioned house with a maximum of six floors, but the environment was very quiet. Full of osmanthus and rose flowers.

When he just came in, he caught a glimpse of the name of the community. This community seems to be called "Osmanthus New Village"?

"The house is a bit old, but it looks pretty good, and it's pretty close to the school." Li Xin turned her head and looked around.

Ye Zhichen and Xiao Ning also felt the same way. The previous apartments were all of this type. Ye Zhichen lived in this kind of apartment when he was a child. He didn't buy the old apartment until he was in junior high school and bought a new house. For Xiao Ning, In other words, it is enough to rent an apartment like this.

Qin Ziyan hadn't been here for more than half a month. When he opened the door of the apartment, there was a damp and musty smell that had not been lived in for a long time. Thin dust had accumulated on the floor and items of the apartment. With a suspicious look, he coughed lightly and said, "I didn't have time to clean it."

"Fuck, Qin Ziyan, how long have you been living here?" Li Xin stretched out an index finger to wipe the dining table, the fingertips were immediately covered with a thick layer of dust, and raised the index finger in front of Qin Ziyan and shook it vigorously. Huang, "Look, look, it's so dirty, can people still live there?"

Qin Ziyan rubbed his nose, then turned to Ye Zhichen and Xiao Ning: "Let's go and see the room first."

Ye Zhichen and Xiao Ning nodded, and followed Qin Ziyan into the master bedroom. The master bedroom was empty, with only a wardrobe and no bed, and the items in the other room were also extremely simple, with only a single bed and a bed more than the master bedroom. desk.

It doesn't matter if the decoration is simple or not, as long as there is everything you need, as long as the hygiene is cleaned, living here is quite refreshing.

"Zi Yan, are you sure you want to rent out the house? I think it's not bad. If Zhichen still wants to take another look, it doesn't matter if we rent it separately." Xiao Ning was very satisfied after seeing the house. According to his current economic level, The house that can be rented is already the limit.

"No need, I'll live with you. I'll clean up later and I'll buy a bed." Ye Zhichen didn't care. He could survive with dozens of people lying on wooden boards in the army. The room had the bed, nothing to fault.

"Okay, from now on you will live in the master bedroom, and I will live in Zi Yan's room." Xiao Ning smiled happily.

The next few people began to divide the work and clean up. There were not many things in the apartment, so it was very convenient to clean.

Li Xin went to the kitchen first, opened the cupboard and saw a lot of messy and dirty kitchen utensils, and jumped up in a fuss: "Fuck, Qin Ziyan, can you still cook and eat with these things? I really didn't expect our noble and glamorous pen and ink to be big, It used to live in a garbage dump."

Hearing Li Xin's roar, Qin Ziyan walked into the kitchen and saw the kitchen utensils thrown out by Li Xin. The spatulas used for cooking were all rusted and could not be used at all. They were all chipped bowls, dirty chopsticks, small The gas stove in the kitchen has also accumulated a thick layer of oil stains, which is probably useless.

In his memory, in the past, Qin Ziyan seldom cooks, and he usually does it in the school cafeteria, or buys fast food from outside.

"It's all gone. I'll go buy a new one. Anyway, it's just me and Xiao Ning. I don't think there are many opportunities to cook." Ye Zhichen found some garbage bags and packed the old kitchen utensils thrown out by Li Xin. into the garbage bag, "Zi Yan probably won't come back."

Qin Ziyan listened to Li Xin's thoughts and helped tidy up. He had only been here a few times in total, and every time he came here in a hurry to ventilate the apartment, and he didn't carefully organize the items in this apartment. If something happened suddenly, He would never touch anything here without authorization.

Qu Mohan stood in the narrow dining room with a set of tables and chairs, looked around indifferently, heard the noise of playfulness from the kitchen, and glanced at the room where Qin Ziyan lived, with an expressionless face Not seeing any emotion, after a long while, he walked slowly towards the room.

Just now Qin Ziyan took them in to have a look. He just stood at the door and took a look. The room was extremely simple and there was no extra furniture. There was a desk by the window. There were many books piled up on the desk, most of them were textbooks and notebooks. , a single bed in the middle, and a wardrobe against the wall.

Qu Mohan stood at the door for a while, while Qin Ziyan and the others were still tidying up in the kitchen. From time to time, Li Xin's voice could be heard yelling and teasing Qin Ziyan. The study room, the notebook he originally wanted to open.

At that time, Qin Ziyan interrupted him very calmly, and he couldn't see any abnormalities on Qin Ziyan's face. Qu Mohan didn't take it seriously for a while, and put the notebook back on the shelf. Looking back now, Qin Ziyan has always been a very calm person. People, maybe just good at covering up.

Qu Mohan walked to the desk, and the books were neatly placed together vertically. In addition to the textbooks, there were also several novels written by Qin Ziyan. The pen is used as a pen holder, and there are no extra items.

Qu Mohan picked up a black leather notebook, and gently opened the cover. The handwriting that caught his eyes made his eyes look deeper, and he couldn't help but quickly flipped through a few pages. Unbelievable guesses kept surging in his mind like a wave. After a long time, he slowly closed the notebook and put it back.

The current Qin Ziyan writes good handwriting, vigorous and powerful, pleasing to the eye, and has a trace of envy, and not only knows one type of font, but it is as different from the handwriting on the black leather notebook just now. The handwriting on the notebook can't even be called neat.

Qu Mohan heard the sound of someone walking out of the kitchen, and went back to the living room calmly. He saw Xiao Ning and Li Xin coming out carrying a few bags of garbage, Qin Ziyan was wiping the cabinet with a rag, and Ye Zhichen was still squatting on the ground to clean the trash. I put my bowl in a garbage bag, and there is a mop by the wall.

"Do you need help?" Qu Mohan asked lightly.

Ye Zhichen put the garbage bag on the wall outside the kitchen, clapped his hands and said: "How about this, when Xiao Ning and Li Xin come back after throwing out the garbage, Li Xin and I will go buy beds and kitchen utensils to see if there is anything else to buy. Buy it together later, and you will stay here to clean it?"

"Alright." Qin Ziyan threw the dirty rag into the sink to rinse, "Mo Han will help me clean up the room later, let Xiao Ning clean the dining room, and pack up all the unnecessary things. You don't need to buy sheets and quilts. You used to I lived in the dormitory, and the ones issued by the school can still be used.”

"Yeah." Ye Zhichen nodded, picked up the mop and mopped the kitchen floor.

Qu Mohan remained silent, watching Qin Ziyan's every move steadfastly, and the doubts in his heart gradually became clear.
