non-human reincarnation

Gu Ran closed the door and looked back at Ikegiri who was leaning on the tatami on the balcony.

His arms were drooping, he was holding a bottle of beer at his fingertips, and his eyes were looking out at the sky without focus.

"You have been watching it for more than ten years. What is there to see? The sky in the ladder is fake." Gu Ran took the beer from his hand and put it on the table. What happened, or did you encounter something in the world mirror."

Chi Wu's eyelids slowly closed, leaving a narrow gap.

"Wuwu, at least talk to me." Gu Ran said.

"I saw him."

Gu Ran: "But every time you go to the world mirror, can't you see him?"

The lips soaked in alcohol opened slightly, as if telling the end of a tragedy: "He died."

Gu Luanbo sooted his hand and raised his eyes: "He... is dead?"

"I understand why I came here." Chi Wu said, "He died for me, how can I live my life calmly."

He took back his wine bottle from the table, took a sip, and collapsed his back into the tatami.

"Is... the mirror of the world brought you back to that time?"

Chi Wu raised his hand to cover his eyes, and hummed softly.

He knew the man was dead.

Because the moment he woke up, he remembered the phrase "wait for me" buried in his heart, which was said by that person later.

Gu Ran stopped asking, and covered Chi Wu with a blanket: "Don't drink it, go to sleep, and talk about it when you wake up."

Alcohol anesthetized Chi Wu's nerves, he nodded slowly, but every time he nodded, he felt a splitting headache and couldn't fall asleep.

Gu Ran stroked his forehead hair, got up and picked up the scattered cans on the table and on the ground.

When emptying the ashtray, Gu Ran raised his eyebrows.

It was the first time that Chi Wu came to ask him for cigarettes and alcohol. He drank a lot of alcohol, but lighting a cigarette was like lighting incense. After smelling it, he put it back in the ashtray.

Gu Ran stroked his curled hair, sighed, and murmured: "Would it be better if I didn't clear the first step of the ladder?"

-

Cheng Yan waited until it was dark, and before Chi Wu came back, he changed into light clothes and went out. When he reached the door, Gu Ran was just going downstairs.

"Where is this?" Gu Ran asked casually.

"Look for Chi Wu." Cheng Yan smelled the refreshing smell on his body, "Did you finish drinking?"

Gu Ran dusted off his collar: "Just a few drinks now and then, you have a weird nose." He pretended not to know, and asked, "Chi Wu hasn't come home yet?"

"No," Cheng Yan looked him in the eyes and said, "I'm a little worried that he's still on the ladder."

"Let me tell you, you're just making a fuss out of molehills and you're too nervous." Gu Ran said, "If you clear the level together, he can still stay in the ladder."

When they left the residential housing area, they took different paths. Cheng Yan watched Gu Ran walk away, stood there for two seconds, and walked back as fast as possible.

Gu Ran's house didn't have a security net installed, so Cheng Yan could easily climb in from the balcony.

There was still a faint smell in the room, Cheng Yan came here once, and he remembered standing at the door of Gu Ran's bedroom very well.

It was too rude to enter rashly, so he just unscrewed the door and stood at the door to look inside.

The room was dimly lit, there was a bulge in the middle of the thick quilt on the bed, and half of a small face was exposed on the quilt.

Cheng Yan stepped in two steps, saw Chi Wu sleeping peacefully, and finally let go of his chest.

Chi Wu was in a deep sleep, Cheng Yan lowered his head and heard his steady breathing.

The tip of Cheng Yan's nose moved, his brows frowned slightly, and he smelled the strong smell of alcohol and the faint smell of tobacco on Chi Wu's body.

He straightened his waist, the expression in his eyes was like ink, darker than the lake water in the middle of the night.

Chi Wu's alcohol capacity is very poor, he never drank when he lived alone before, but in the past few years when he knew Gu Ran, he gradually drank with Gu Ran a few times.

When he opened his eyes, Chi Wu felt that the entire ceiling was spinning. He quickly closed his eyes, turned sideways and held his forehead with his hands.

After feeling that his head was better, he slowly opened his eyes.

Still turn.

Chi Wu sighed and got up from the bed, his eyes were too dazzled to see clearly, as if the heaven and the earth were connected together.

"Are you awake?" A voice came from the door.

Cheng Yan approached, holding a glass of lemonade in his hand.

Chi Wu bowed down together, his cheeks pressed against the cold surface of the quilt to cool down, and hummed.

"Drink it when you wake up." Cheng Yan handed him the lemonade.

Chi Wu took it, and paused: "This is..." He slowly tilted his head, "My house?"

"You slept at Gu Ran's house yesterday. I was afraid that you would sleep for too long, so I took you home first." Cheng Yan said.

The cup tilted, Chi Wu drank the lemonade in one gulp, and asked, "Did you talk to Gu Ran?"

"Why did you tell him?" Cheng Yan asked.

His tone was not good, Chi Wu put down the water glass, held it in the palm of his hand and pressed it: "Didn't you want to say something when you left?"

"Then when you left, did you tell me?" Cheng Yan asked.

Chi Wu's eyes flickered, and he looked down at the quilt: "You weren't awake at that time."

The atmosphere in the room was subtle, and Chi Wu felt that Cheng Yan was standing like a fire was burning, so he couldn't help rubbing his temples.

Cheng Yan bent down, trying to take away the water glass in his hand, with more strength than usual, and twisted Chi Wu's thumb, Chi Wu couldn't hold back, and held the water glass, preventing him from taking it away.

"What are you doing?" Cheng Yan asked.

Chi Wu held it: "You got my hand."

Cheng Yan stared at him fixedly, his eyelids moved slightly, and then let go of his hand: "Then you let it go."

After saying this, he walked out.

Chi Wu was also quite upset, as if he had had a bad fight. He didn't know whether his irritability was due to a hangover, or the influence of the world mirror, or something else.

"Why are you attacking me?" Chi Wu asked.

"I hate you?" Cheng Yan stopped, turned around, "Chi Wu, I've known you till now, when did I kill you?"

Chi Wu choked on his chest in one breath, and he was justified and stubborn: "Then you didn't show me your stinky face?"

"Then what kind of expression should I put on?" Cheng Yan approached and looked at him condescendingly, "Should I sit down, like your close friend, and ask you what happened in the world mirror, so that when you come out, Rushing to get drunk without even saying hello?"

"I—" Chi Wu's lips parted slightly, his chest heaved twice, and he looked away angrily, "I didn't get drunk, I went to Gu Ran's house!"

His nonsensical words stopped the tense atmosphere.

Cheng Yan didn't know how to answer his words, so he raised his voice: "You should have a good rest."

"I'm not going to sleep, I'm going to take a shower."

Chi Wu was not as good as he wanted.

"what ever."

Cheng Yan doesn't like to deal with everything coldly, but when a person is so wishful thinking that he has no position to get angry, he has no choice but to escape helplessly.

Chi Wu kicked off the quilt angrily, but it didn't work, and it took him four more kicks to get away.

He dropped his legs to the ground, stepped into his slippers, and couldn't help but pause.

"My clothes?"

He was wearing his own pajamas and pajamas, which were obviously not the clothes he had entered the ladder.

Cheng Yan glanced at him, picked up the water glass and left without saying a word.

Chi Wu followed behind him: "Why are you changing my clothes?"

"You smell of alcohol all over your body," Cheng Yan asked, "How can you sleep without changing your clothes?"

"That didn't ask you to change it." Chi Wu said, "I didn't tell you to come to me. You went home to rest without seeing me when you got out of the ladder. Why is it like I left without saying goodbye? !"

Cheng Yan put down the water glass: "Didn't you leave without saying goodbye?"

"Who stipulated that I have to tell you everything?" Chi Wu asked, "I'm not here, Wulilu also went home by himself, why can't you."

"Why can't I do it, don't you understand?" Cheng Yan stepped on his chest, "Are you pretending to be stupid or don't care at all?"

Chi Wu looked at him, his pupils constricted slightly in his eyes moistened by the quarrel.

"I do not have."

Cheng Yan couldn't look at Chi Wu, but his heart softened just by looking at him. He looked away in annoyance, and said in a hoarse and low voice, "I'm sorry."

"I know." Chi Wu repeated, "I know."

He turned to Cheng Yan, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "Cheng Yan, there are some things I didn't finish talking on the ladder, let's say it now."

His arms were hanging on his sides, and when he clenched his fists, he was determined: "I can't be with you."

Cheng Yan was nailed to the spot by his words, unable to move.

"Humans came to the third world because of obsessions that they couldn't let go of," Chi Wu said, "Me too."

"I know."

Give this sentence to Cheng Yan.

"So I can't." Chi Wu said, "I can't accept that when I'm with you, there are still people I can't let go of."

He said in a low voice: "The reverse is also the same."

Cheng Yan finally met Shang Chiwu's gaze, his eyes no longer had the willful and unrestrained brilliance, like a fallen galaxy, becoming small and humble little by little.

After a long time, he nodded and said, "Okay."

Before Chi Wu had time to understand what he meant by "good", Cheng Yan took a step back, turned around and left the room.

The sound of footsteps disappeared little by little, and the sound of the door closing was very small, but it was very clear in the silent afternoon, as if someone had slapped Chi Wu's face very hard.

Chi Wu's raised shoulders fell due to nervous tension, and he lost all energy and returned to the state of a drunkard with a hangover.

The slippers that got in the way couldn't be worn and were left on the ground. Chi Wu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at every place in the room helplessly.

The water cup left by Cheng Yan, the place where Cheng Yan stood, and the place where Cheng Yan supported the edge of the bed with his hands when he walked in.

He was stunned for a long time, his mind went blank, and finally moved his eyes, thinking about his pajamas.

There were too many situations where Gu Ran was frustrated in love, and every time he was called to go upstairs to have a drink, and he drank a few sips, and when Gu Ran fell asleep, he went to the hotel group to find the culprit, Wen Bo, and let him deal with the follow-up.

He saw Wen Bo lift Gu Ran up and put him on the bed, and saw him come out of the bathroom with a hot towel to patiently wipe Gu Ran's face and body, and then change into pajamas.

Is Cheng Yan like this too?

Chi Wu affirmed the question.

As Cheng Yan said, he realized that now, he has always been patient.

Chi Wu buried his head in his knees.

Not long after, he heard a knock on the door.

He raised his head in confusion, and after two seconds of reaction, he forgot to put on his shoes, and ran to the door with soft feet and opened it.

But it wasn't the face he wanted to see.

"Chi Wu?" Wulilu grabbed his shoulder, "Are you at home?!"

The light in Chi Wu's eyes went out, and he hummed.

"It's good that you're here!" Wulilu said, "Yesterday I made Cheng Yan anxious, did you find it when I went out to look for you later?"

Chi Wu didn't know what he was talking about looking for someone, but he still said "um".

"Don't say it's quite interesting," Wulilu said with a smile, "The boss's runaway little wife or something!"

Chi Wu's eyelashes drooped down, casting a shadow on the eyelids: "What are you looking for?"

"Oh, it's like this. Cheng Yan couldn't find you yesterday and said he wanted to go out to look for it. Just when he went out, he ran into the brother who lived upstairs. He said that you would go to the supermarket after you went to the ladder. Let us wait, but Cheng Yanyue The more anxious you wait, let me tell you, a bowl of noodles, he can't eat it after two mouthfuls, and he still has to go to you after thinking about it, but I just came out of the ladder here, and I have to go back to the hotel to pay for the room, otherwise There will be no place to live in a few days. I am different from you who bought a HOS house, so I said that I will look for it with him after I pay the money, but he asked me to go back first, saying that he can find you, I'll just..."

"Speak the key."

"Just to see if I found you." Wulilu grinned, "You said that although you are interesting, but next time, let's talk to Cheng Yan first, he almost wrote the word "difficulty in resting" yesterday. It's on his face, if he can't find you, he might just rush to the next ladder!"

He patted Chi Wu's shoulder, Chi Wu couldn't hold it back for a moment, his legs were weak and he bent back, Wu Lilu hurriedly grabbed it so he didn't fall.

"What's the matter?" Wulilu swept him, "Could it be that Cheng Yan taught me a lesson when I went home last night?"

He rubbed his chin: "If you want me to say no, Cheng Yan wouldn't be willing to beat you."

He inquired seriously again: "Could it be that you were too passionate last night?"
