eyes outside the box

"Zeze, Wenwen, mom went out to play with friends, and will be back in the evening. You decide whether to eat hot food at noon or go out to eat, it's up to you! Time is running out, mom is leaving first."

Wang Qin changed her shoes and hurried out the door.

Yang Bowen saw that Wang Qin was gone, and immediately collapsed on the sofa. He didn't want to do his homework, so he played games with his mobile phone.

Duan Jiuze didn't care about Yang Bowen either, he habitually finished his homework before doing other things, otherwise he would never feel at ease.

Yang Bowen played the game for a while, and suddenly remembered Duan Jiuze's smile in the morning. He moved to the sofa next to the desk, lay on the sofa, raised his head, looked at Duan Jiuze, and asked, "Eh? Zeze, what did you do this morning?" You suddenly smiled at me, why?"

Duan Jiuze's writing hand paused.

When he woke up in the morning, Duan Jiuze was afraid that he was still dreaming, so he deliberately walked to the window to open it.Because the feeling of escaping from the dream was too real and the impact was too great, he couldn't help but feel a great feeling of being alive.So hearing Yang Bowen's normal voice, he subconsciously felt relieved and smiled.

But looking back at this moment, the feeling of fear is not as fresh as in the morning, but I can calmly describe everything in the dream to Yang Bowen.

"Hold the grass!!! So handsome!"

Yang Bowen's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he turned over and was about to jump up, but because of insufficient strength, he failed and almost rolled under the sofa.

"No swearing at home."

Although Duan Jiuze didn't care much about Yang Bowen, he and Yang Bowen would live together for many years. Duan Jiuze immediately expressed his dissatisfaction with the swear words that might appear for a long time in the future.

Although Duan Jiuze frowned to express his dissatisfaction, Yang Bowen just held onto Duan Jiuze's shoulders nonchalantly, and said carelessly: "Brother, I'm just talking about a modal particle, modal particle, understand? It has no practical meaning." .”

Duan Jiuze put down his pen, sat on a chair, turned around, faced Yang Bowen, and looked him up and down indifferently.

Although he didn't speak, Yang Bowen read the contempt from Duan Jiuze's indifferent expression, and immediately shouted: "Although it doesn't have any practical meaning now, I will have this ability soon!"

"You want mom to have a grandson within three years?"

Yang Bowen let go of Duan Jiuze at once, and retorted with a blushing face: "I didn't say that! I..."

"The high school entrance examination is not far away, so weigh yourself."

After Duan Jiuze finished speaking, he turned around and continued to do his homework, leaving Yang Bowen, whose face was slowly fading, standing where he was, looking a little silly.

Although Duan Jiuze loves to study, he is not a stupid student.For the homework assigned by the teacher, Duan Jiuze usually chooses to do a few classic questions, and then puts down the homework to do his own thing.That's why Yang Bowen saw that Duan Jiuze always spent a lot of time on other aspects, but his grades were still not falling.Not to mention, Duan Jiuze is essentially a fake boy who has lived for decades.

Duan Jiuze finished the homework assigned for each subject, including the question types of the classic exam. He checked the time, and it was past twelve o'clock.

Walking into the bedroom, looking at Yang Bowen sitting at the desk doing homework, Duan Jiuze kicked the chair: "No eating."

Yang Bowen didn't know if he was addicted to doing the problem, he stretched out his left hand and waved it without looking back: "When I solve this problem, right away."

Duan Jiuze snorted and didn't speak. He turned around and walked to the door, holding the doorknob in his hand. Just as he was about to open the door and leave, he heard a sentence behind him——

"Zeze, please don't open the door, okay?"

"!!!"

Everything in the dream seemed to appear again, and the overwhelming feeling of suffocation followed.Duan Jiuze turned around abruptly, looking at the back of Yang Bowen who was buried in the problem with his eyes like torches.

"Why did Wenwen say that?"

Duan Jiuze said the same answer as in the dream, but he could hear the trembling and fear in his voice.

Hearing Duan Jiuze's words, Yang Bowen sat on the chair, turned his head, and asked in a daze, "Zeze, what did you say?"

Maybe it was because Yang Bowen had too much doubts on his face, Duan Jiuze couldn't tell the truth, he just said a few perfunctory words, then opened the door casually, walked out of the bedroom.

When the door was closed with his backhand, Duan Jiuze controlled himself to take a deep breath.

Is it a hallucination?

But Yang Bowen's voice was so real, otherwise Duan Jiuze wouldn't have reacted so much.

But is it really not an illusion?

Then Yang Bowen turned his face, how to explain the doubts on his face?

Originally, Duan Jiuze didn't pay attention to the dream within a dream last night.At best, this dream was so real that even though Duan Jiuze could calm down in the dream, when he woke up in the morning, in reality, Duan Jiuze still felt scared.

But no matter how real it seems, it is still not real.

However, when Duan Jiuze studied the questions all morning and overwhelmed that strange dream last night, just now, in that bedroom, Duan Jiuze heard exactly the same words as in the dream, and the time happened to be in Duan Jiuze's The moment he held the doorknob.

Is there really such a coincidence?Do hallucinations pick time and place?

"...Eh? Zeze, why are you wandering again?"

When Yang Bowen left the bedroom, he saw Duan Jiuze sitting on the sofa in the living room.Although on the surface, the expression on Duan Jiuze's face seemed to be the same as before, with no expression, but Yang Bowen felt that compared to before, the current Duan Jiuze seemed to be in a more depressed mood.

Duan Jiuze came back to his senses when Yang Bowen stretched out his foot and kicked him lightly, looked up at the lively Yang Bowen, and didn't speak or move for a while.

Yang Bowen was not embarrassed to be watched by Duan Jiuze, but he just thought Duan Jiuze was weird.

Seeing that Duan Jiuze hadn't moved much, Yang Bowen simply sat next to Duan Jiuze, one hand still clinging to Duan Jiuze's shoulder casually, while leaning closer to talk to Duan Jiuze——

"Are you suffering from lovesickness, who do you like? Come, come, tell brother, brother will give you advice."

Listening to this familiar tone, Duan Jiuze suddenly felt that everything in this space seemed to come alive with Yang Bowen's words.

This time, Duan Jiuze rarely patted Yang Bowen's hand away, but said lightly: "Go out for lunch."

Although Duan Jiuze couldn't see anything on the surface, the turn around at noon and the words that seemed to be hallucinatory still remained in Duan Jiuze's heart.

Duan Jiuze didn't forget the oppressive feeling when he was alone in the living room.And when Yang Bowen clung to his shoulders, the feeling that everything came alive lingered in Duan Jiuze's mind and could not be dispelled.

Reminiscent of the white mist during the picnic, Duan Jiuze was almost certain that Yang Bowen had something to do with his own rebirth.Even if it is not related to his own rebirth, at least it is related to the world he lives in.

And all of this, Yang Bowen didn't know.

The 15-year-old boy was simply complaining to Duan Jiuze about how perverted the questions he had done in the morning and how much homework the teacher assigned.

"Go back and finish a set of test papers, and I will circle the key questions for you."

Hearing Duan Jiuze's words, Yang Bowen finally put away his complaints and smiled brightly.

The place where the two of them ate was not too close to the community, but Duan Jiuze felt that it was rare to walk around like this, and it would be good to exercise a little, just to digest food.

The two walked through Lin'an Street, and Yang Bowen became interested, and went to a shoe store to try on shoes. During this period, Duan Jiuze had nothing to say.

Standing at the door of the shoe store, Duan Jiuze looked around casually. Apart from pedestrians, sanitation workers, and street vendors, there seemed to be no third type of people on the pedestrian street.

But along the way, Duan Jiuze felt that there was an illusion of being watched.

"Zeze, do you think this black pair is cooler than this blue pair?"

Hearing the voice, Duan Jiuze glanced at the street for the last time, turned around and walked to Yang Bowen, looked at the two pairs of shoes, pointed to the blue one, and said to the clerk, "Take this black pair, please."

Yang Bowen buys and wears, and basically changes them on the spot.Now change to the black that Duan Jiuze said, I just think it looks good everywhere, and the whole person is very handsome.

Along the way, Yang Bowen trotted for a while, jumped up for a while, and tiptoed for a while... Anyway, he didn't stop at all, constantly testing the comfort of his new pair of shoes from various aspects.

Duan Jiuze, on the other hand, has been helping Yang Bowen carry the old shoes, letting Yang Bowen babble in his ears, without saying a word.

"I'm thirsty, let's go buy a bottle of water."

After Duan Jiuze finished speaking, regardless of Yang Bowen's wishes, he directly pulled people and strode towards the small shop on the side.

Yang Bowen thought that Duan Jiuze was very thirsty, so he also followed Buziwang's shop.

Because he didn't drink much water at noon, Yang Bowen was a little thirsty at the moment, so he opened the door of the freezer, looked at the various drinks, asked Duan Jiuze what to drink, and brought himself a bottle of mineral water by the way.

Duan Jiuze said without turning his head, "Mineral water."

Yang Bowen smiled while taking water: "I guessed that you also took this. Mineral water is really good to quench your thirst."

This time, Duan Jiuze didn't reply.

Duan Jiuze was still standing a little inside the door of the small shop. He looked at a man carrying a bag, and seemed to inadvertently cast a glance in the direction of the small shop, but continued to walk forward.

When the man glanced over, Duan Jiuze and the man's eyes met, but the time was too short, apart from feeling that the other's eyes were not clear, there was no special emotion.Duan Jiuze thought there would be panic caused by looking at each other, but it didn't happen.

Duan Jiuze frowned: Did I think too much?

"Here, water."

Duan Jiuze took the water, but held it in his hand and didn't drink it.

Yang Bowen drank half a bottle of mineral water in one breath, and turned around to find that Duan Jiuze hadn't taken a sip. He was a little strange: "Aren't you thirsty?"

Duan Jiuze glanced at Yang Bowen, unscrewed the lid, and took a long gulp.
