eyes outside the box

It is probably not the first time that Lin Chuan has come to Duan Jiuze's house. When he got to the house, he took out his slippers and put them on without seeing anyone else.

Duan Jiuze sat in the living room looking a little tired, but Lin Chuan skillfully opened a cabinet, took a cup, took two glasses of water by himself, walked over to Duan Jiuze and sat down.

"Thank you." Duan Jiuze took the water glass and took a sip of water.

Lin Chuan shook his head and didn't say anything.As a friend, there is only so much he can do.

"Are you forgiving Auntie now?"

Hearing Lin Chuan's sudden question, Duan Jiuze was stunned. With doubts, he repeated the key words: "Forgive?"

Lin Chuan didn't see that Duan Jiuze was in a daze because he didn't know, and thought Duan Jiuze didn't think of it for a while.Lin Chuan didn't know if it was good to mention this at this time, but Duan Jiuze's image all along made him feel that there seemed to be nothing wrong with mentioning it at this time.In addition, he wanted to let Duan Jiuze untangle his heart, and he thought it would be easier to untie it at this time, so he made up his mind to have a good talk.

"I know you have never forgotten Yang Bowen, and have been single for Yang Bowen's sake. Although you have never mentioned Yang Bowen, as a brother, I know that you remember him and how he died..."

When Lin Chuan said this, Duan Jiuze subconsciously clenched the water glass tightly, pursed his lips, and waited to hear Lin Chuan's next words.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chuan, who had been paying attention to Duan Jiuze, saw Duan Jiuze's actions, and thought that Duan Jiuze didn't want to listen anymore, so he waved his hand quickly, and stopped talking before Duan Jiuze said "shut up".

"Forget it, I know you don't want to hear it, so I won't say it."

Duan Jiuze was listening carefully, but he didn't expect Lin Chuan to say such a sentence suddenly, and almost fainted from anger.He raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Chuan, and said nothing with a cold expression - it's still a long time, so if you want to understand, don't be in a hurry.

Lin Chuan was also worried about Duan Jiuze losing his mother—no matter what feud Duan Jiuze and Wang Qin had, they were the only relatives in the world who were connected by blood, so he swallowed what he wanted to say.

The two sat together in silence for a while, Lin Chuan patted Duan Jiuze on the shoulder, seeing that Duan Jiuze would not be overwhelmed, so he left Duan Jiuze some private space, and went to wash and sleep first.

Duan Jiuze sat in the living room with the glass of water that Lin Chuan handed him, without moving for a long time.

Wang Qin's death was not without the slightest fluctuation for him.

He didn't know what unpleasant things happened to Duan Jiuze and Wang Qin in this world, but when he thought that his mother with a girly voice would never be able to speak again, he felt panicked.

Duan Jiuze didn't spend much time with Wang Qin in this world, and the rare scenes of getting along were just the silent back when he first arrived in this world, the tired face sitting opposite each other at the dinner table in the small rental house, and finally, The body covered in white cloth.

Now that Wang Qin is dead, Duan Jiuze will continue to live.

Regarding what happened between himself, Wang Qin, and Yang Bowen, Duan Jiuze planned to figure it out as soon as possible - intuition is very important.

Wang Qin's funeral was not done with much fanfare.Originally, there were not many relatives, and friends also had their own jobs. Duan Jiuze didn't want to trouble others. In the end, only a few friends in the local area accompanied Duan Jiuze to handle all follow-up matters.

I have to mention here that when Duan Jiuze was packing up in the garden area, he found some photos of himself and Yang Bowen, as well as some words left in Wang Qin's notebook.

Judging from Wang Qin's tone, her impression of Yang Bowen was mixed with some complicated emotions from the very beginning.As for the specific situation, Duan Jiuze was also dumbfounded after inquiring about it quietly and secretly.

Based on what he inquired about and the few words left by Wang Qin, Duan Jiuze roughly guessed the situation as follows: At the beginning, Duan Jiuze lived with the single Wang Qin, and his grades were so-so. It was not until the reborn Duan Jiuze woke up that this situation changed. .The acquaintance with Yang Bowen was the reborn Duan Jiuze, who met Yang Bowen in the library in the second year of junior high school, until Duan Jiuze graduated from the third year of junior high school, the two did not meet much, and Wang Qin did not know Duan Jiuze's friends There is such a person in the circle.

The friendship between Duan Jiuze and Yang Bowen changed. It was during Duan Jiuze's winter vacation in his first year of high school.Yang Bowen and Duan Jiuze made an appointment to meet in the library, but they didn't show up until night.With Yang Bowen's personality, this is unlikely to happen.

Duan Jiuze was also a little worried about Yang Bowen. He left the library and on the way to Yang Bowen's house, he found that there were many serious people near Yang Bowen's house, and some of them were wearing police uniforms.

An accident happened to Yang Bowen, and it was not a small matter, even the police were dispatched.

I don't know how Duan Jiuze knew about it, and how he solved it. Anyway, he saved Yang Bowen that night, and the two seemed to be together after that.

Maybe it was because he wanted Wang Qin to know about Yang Bowen's existence, even as a friend, so Duan Jiuze took Yang Bowen home to play once.

Yang Bowen loves to laugh, is lively and cheerful, and has excellent grades. When Wang Qin first found out that Duan Jiuze had such a friend, he was very happy and often asked Duan Jiuze to invite Yang Bowen to play at home.But this liking is only based on the fact that Yang Bowen is an ordinary friend of Duan Jiuze, and he doesn't know Yang Bowen's family background.

When Duan Jiuze was in his third year of high school, Wang Qin accidentally discovered that Yang Bowen's mother seemed to be someone he knew well.After Wang Qin returned home that day, she made an extreme request that Duan Jiuze not be allowed to have any more contact with Yang Bowen.Duan Jiuze didn't understand why Wang Qin was, and just asked the reason gently, but Wang Qin didn't give Duan Jiuze an answer, but insisted that the two of them not communicate.

This paragraph was recorded in Wang Qin's notebook, but the specific reason was not mentioned in the notebook.

At that time, Jiuze was in the important period of his third year of high school, and he also saw that Duan Wangqin's mental condition was not stable, so he temporarily tried to stabilize Wangqin's condition.Wang Qin calmed down temporarily, and there was no extreme emotion for a long time.Duan Jiuze and Yang Bowen's relationship has also been kept from Wang Qin.

But you can't hide it forever.Duan Jiuze and Yang Bowen were in the same high school, and they were admitted to the same school or even the same department. Although Wang Qin didn't know this, Wang Qin's unannounced visit made everything mess up.

One weekend, Wang Qin went to Duan Jiuze's university alone, and found Duan Jiuze's dormitory by himself, but heard from his dormitory classmates that Duan Jiuze was renting an apartment off campus.

When Wang Qin found the rental house by himself, Duan Jiuze and Yang Bowen seemed to be doing something indescribable, and Wang Qin was furious on the spot.

The matter became quite serious, and for a while, the school spread the ups and downs.

Wang Qin wants the two to separate, while Yang Bowen and Duan Jiuze are more sensible to admit their mistakes first, they shouldn't hide it, and then reveal their plans for the next few decades.

Of course, Wang Qin couldn't agree to the two being together, not to mention there were some other reasons, it was even more impossible to agree to this matter.

Later, probably because Yang Bowen said that the two would not be separated unless they died, Wang Qin took the words to heart.

After that, probably because Wang Qin had other plans, the three of them managed to get along harmoniously for a while, but when the three met to climb the mountain, it seemed that Wang Qin did something, and Yang Bowen died that time.

As soon as Yang Bowen died, Wang Qin laughed like crazy.

Duan Jiuze was devastated by the loss of his love, but he had to pull himself together. While settling down with Wang Qin, he confronted Yang Bowen's parents.At that time, Duan Jiuze hadn't graduated from college yet.

Wang Qin and Yang Bowen's parents had never met. Duan Jiuze only found out later that Yang Bowen's mother had competed with Wang Qin for a man. I don't know what happened during that time.All I know is that Wang Qin led Duan Jiuze to live alone in the end, Yang Bowen's mother married another person, and the man who was scrambled by the two women was nowhere to be found.

As for why Yang Bowen's parents didn't investigate further, it is temporarily unknown, and Wang Qin has been in a semi-crazy state.Since then, Duan Jiuze has not only changed his personality drastically, but he has also been taciturn, even more serious than before.

At first, Duan Jiuze sent Wang Qin to a nursing home, and he went to see her every week.But then I don't know what happened, Duan Jiuze changed from going once a week to once a month.

This situation continued until Wang Qin's death.

Duan Jiuze stood on the Furong Bridge, looking at the sparkling water, silent as a sculpture.I sorted out the half of my rebirth in this life a little bit: First, I lived in a single-parent family with my mother, Wang Qin.

Secondly, I met Yang Bowen, rescued Yang Bowen, and stayed with Yang Bowen.

Then, Wang Qin found herself with Yang Bowen and strongly objected.

In the end, Wang Qin killed Yang Bowen, and Wang Qin also died a few years later.

So... I was reborn into this world, wasn't it to live another life?Why give him a life already half-lived?Or is it just to make the rest of his life seem more meaningful?

Or, to tell myself that I can also be with men?

Duan Jiuze thought about Yang Bowen, and found that his impression of this person was only in his first year of junior high school. When he met in the library, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation and said that he liked the phrase "Only love and death can change everything". The young man was the first vivid impression left on Duan Jiuze.Duan Jiuze didn't have any special hobbies, and he couldn't develop any feelings for such a child.But when Yang Bowen grew up, all Duan Jiuze's impressions were just that one photo.Duan Jiuze looks like a sunny and healthy boy, and he can't imagine being with him.

Duan Jiuze watched the old man fishing by the river pack up his fishing gear and leave, his eyes flickered slightly - he always felt that he seemed to have missed something.
