eyes outside the box

Although he knew Yang Bowen, Duan Jiuze didn't spend more time with him.

In the final analysis, there is still some generation gap between a mature fake teenager, Uncle Zhen, and a real 13-year-old boy—at least Duan Jiuze thinks so.

In addition, although Yang Bowen wanted to ask Duan Jiuze's communication method, but Duan Jiuze didn't have a mobile phone, and it was not easy to ask for his address after they met for a long time, so he could only hang out in the library if he had nothing to do, and chat together if he met him, and if he didn't Just do your own thing.

Although Duan Jiuze's starting point in this life is really not high, there are still about one and a half years left in junior high school and seven years in high school. At least, he can slowly move towards the goal Duan Jiuze set for himself.

"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, do you... have any New Year's gifts you want?"

Hearing Wang Qin's question, Duan Jiuze raised his head in surprise.

But Wang Qin didn't look at him, just picked up vegetables and ate as usual.

Duan Jiuze thought about it, but in the end he didn't ask for any New Year's gift.One is that he doesn't want to burden Wang Qin, and the other is that he has no special needs at this stage.

Wang Qin glanced at Duan Jiuze complicatedly, but said nothing.

Duan Jiuze was lying on the bed at night, thinking about how to go in the future.He is hesitating, whether to be the same as the previous life, or to change his way of life.This question is more important. Duan Jiuze didn't want to make a hasty decision, so he thought it would be fine to make a decision before the end of the winter vacation.

However, when he woke up the next morning, Duan Jiuze suddenly found out: It seems that after sleeping, the world is different again?

His bedroom is no longer that narrow and dark room, but a simple European and American style layout, the room is still the master bedroom.The coffee-colored quilt cover on the bed and the matching curtains, besides the mobile phone, there is a box of tissues and two photo frames beside the bed.One of the photos...is me and my mother?There is another one, with a boy?This boy looks slightly familiar, and it looks like it should be a photo of him when he was in college.

University? ? ?

Duan Jiuze lifted the quilt, went to the bathroom, looked at his face in the mirror, it was completely the face of an adult - although it was still Duan Jiuze's own face, but he changed the environment when he woke up, which made Duan Jiuze Somewhat unacceptable.

Duan Jiuze walked out of the bedroom and looked around the room. It probably had a layout of three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and two bathrooms.The layout style is also simple European and American style.

Duan Jiuze wondered if he had time-traveled or been reborn again?

When the phone rang, Duan Jiuze looked at the call reminder, it was a name that he didn't remember.

"Ah Ze, it's almost 11:30, we missed you. My brothers are waiting. Where have you been?"

Listening to the other party's words, Duan Jiuze frowned secretly, and finally said: "I have something to do, let's talk about it later."

Then he hung up the phone numbly.

Duan Jiuze flipped through the phone's address book, looking at the completely unfamiliar name on it, his eyebrows were never loosened.

There is not even Wang Qin's number in the address book, nor is there any note about her mother.Duan Jiuze suddenly remembered, opened the calendar and looked at it, only to find that according to the current year and month, if the year and month of birth were the same, he should be 30 years old.

Suddenly, the phone rang again, this time from a number without a note.

"Aze, are you... because I'm here, so you don't come?"

It was a female voice, and the voice was somewhat bitter.

Duan Jiuze hadn't dealt with this kind of relationship-related matters much, so he said "I'm sorry" in a deep voice and hung up directly.

Duan Jiuze rummaged through the useful information he could find at home, and finally concluded that he is now the general manager of a certain company, graduated from University A, unmarried, and his partner... seems to have no.

Duan Jiuze looked up the company's address on the Internet, then went out, hired a taxi, and was going to visit the company.

Probably because it was the weekend, there were not many people in the company.

Duan Jiuze asked someone to ask a few words, and then went to his office.

There are very few personal items on the desk, and there is only one photo, which is not taken with my family, but with a sunny boy.

This is also the second time Duan Jiuze saw this photo, and the first time was in his bedroom.

Duan Jiuze instinctively felt that this should be filmed somewhere on the university campus. As for this boy... Duan Jiuze always felt a little familiar, but he still couldn't remember it.

"Aze..."

A young man in a suit and leather shoes pushed open the door of the office, and just yelled, when he saw Duan Jiuze's gaze on the photo, he stopped again.

"You didn't go today, is it because Liu Ying went? Or because of him?"

Duan Jiuze glanced at the person who came, but did not speak.But listening to the voice and how familiar the other party is with me, I can probably guess in my heart that the other party may be the man who called before, and the name noted on the phone is Lin Chuan.

Maybe Duan Jiuze used to be like this, and the young man didn't think it was strange that Duan Jiuze didn't answer, so he went in, closed the door, stood in front of Duan Jiuze's desk, glanced at the photo, and said with a sigh: " After all these years, are you still going to trap yourself where you are?"

Duan Jiuze remained silent because he had no idea what the man in front of him was talking about.It's just that he can tell from the man's words that the boy in this photo seems to have a greater influence on him than he imagined.

"Aze, Yang Bowen is no longer here, but you still have to live."

Duan Jiuze was stunned for a moment, and finally understood why the young man in this photo looked familiar.

——Just before last night, when I was a 14-year-old second-year student, I met this boy when I was reading Gibran's book in the library during that short winter vacation.Because Yang Bowen was only a first-year junior high school kid at that time, compared with the photos, his outlines were relatively immature, and he didn’t spend much time with each other, so even if he could see some similar outlines, he couldn’t survive the sudden change of environment. Recognize him from the photo.

Seeing Duan Jiuze's dazed look, Lin Chuan thought it was his words that woke him up, so he felt a little happy.I felt that I should give the other party some private space to be quiet, and left empathetically.

Duan Jiuze stayed where he was, with his brows drooping, and finally left the office.Before leaving, Duan Jiuze turned the photo over and put it upside down on the table.

Duan Jiuze originally thought that he was reborn, and was still seriously considering how to live again.But after thinking about it all night, it came to more than ten years later.Did he travel through time again, or did he lose his memory?

If it is through time, then the current self is just to continue to live a better life.After all, his identity information is consistent with the information that he just came to this world at the beginning. If so, then he must have thought clearly at the beginning, and everything now is the result of his initial consideration.

If it is amnesia, then there must be some major event that made him selectively amnesia.The biggest possibility is because of Yang Bowen.But there is also one thing that doesn't make sense. If it is selective amnesia, then Lin Chuan said that Yang Bowen has passed away for many years. Why did he choose to block this memory now?According to the information given by Lin Chuan, Yang Bowen had a huge influence on him, so why did he still remember everything when Yang Bowen passed away?In addition, it's not like I don't remember Yang Bo at all. Duan Jiuze still remembers meeting Yang Bowen in the library.If it was to protect himself and wanted to shield Yang Bowen, then all memories of Yang Bowen should have disappeared.

If it's a selective amnesia, but it's not because you want to forget Yang Bowen and lose this period of memory, then there must be another thing that happened to make you selectively delete all the time period from the beginning to the end of this incident. memory.It's just how hard this incident will hit me, so that I can directly forget the memories of more than ten years, and directly transform from a 14-year-old junior high school student to a 30-year-old uncle?

If it wasn't for him reviving his life, perhaps he would really collapse now.

Duan Jiuze stood in the middle of the Furong Bridge, looking at the shimmering Furong River, frowning in thought.

"Duan Jiuze?"

Seemingly hearing someone calling his name, Duan Jiuze turned his head to look, and saw a woman wearing a long navy blue coat, a matching long scarf, and light makeup.Judging by age, it should be around twenty.

Seeing Duan Jiuze turn around, but didn't speak, the woman thought that the other party didn't remember her name, she smiled indifferently, walked to Duan Jiuze, and imitated him to face the Furong River, looked at the river, and said——

"I'm Wen Qian. I was in the same class as you in the first year of high school, but I went abroad after a year of study. No wonder you don't remember."

Duan Jiuze looked at Jiang Mian and didn't speak.

Wen Qian didn't seem to care much, but said with some emotion: "You are still so quiet."

Duan Jiuze remained calm on the surface, but he was surprised that Wen Qian's tone seemed to know her very well.But Wenqian herself also said that she was only in the same high school class for one year, so she shouldn't use such a tone, right?

The two were silent for a long time. In the end, Wen Qian sniffed in the cold winter wind and simply invited Duan Jiuze to find a place to chat and have a meal.

"I actually went to the dinner party at noon today."

After ordering, Wen Qian handed the menu to the waiter while watching Duan Jiuze speak.

When Duan Jiuze heard the words, he raised his eyes and looked up, but didn't express anything.

Wen Qian didn't care, and continued to talk about the class reunion in the morning, but after a while, the topic turned to work.

Duan Jiuze didn't dislike talking about work during the break, but after he slept for more than ten years, he probably didn't know as much about the company as Wen Qian who was facing him.

Wen Qian saw that Duan Jiuze seldom talked, and mistakenly thought that the class reunion at noon today reminded Duan Jiuze of sad things, and gradually stopped talking about work.

"Lin Chuan said that you have been unable to let go of Yang Bowen. It seems to be true."

When Duan Jiuze heard this, he looked over reflexively, hoping that Wen Qian would say something about the past.
