A sickly bamboo horse dressed as a villain

If it wasn't for his personal experience, even Qiao Wen himself would think that these words sound ridiculous. After all, this is not a world of strange powers and gods.

He had planned that Chen Canaan would treat him as a joke, but unexpectedly the other party didn't ask anything, and had already burst into tears and said nothing, so he couldn't help being slightly stunned.

Apparently he believed it.

Because it was too unexpected, he looked at the tearful Chen Jianan, and for a moment didn't know what to say—because he knew that if the other party believed his words even a little bit, it would be an extremely cruel and sad story.

If it were him, he would not be able to accept it. The younger brother who grew up with him has already left this world. The person who has been with him as Xiao Qiao for more than a year is actually an outsider.

But since he had already opened his mouth, he had to continue talking. His throat slipped slightly, he forced a smile, and said with difficulty: "Look, Xiao Qiao is afraid that he has never been in the sea before, right? But I can swim. Don't you always say that I Has it changed a lot? The reason is that I am not the little Joe who grew up with you. Whether you accept this reality or not, I have to tell you."

Chen Jianan looked at him, tears became more and more turbulent, and after a while he asked in a hoarse voice, "What about Xiao Qiao?"

Qiao Wen shook his head: "Maybe like me, I went to another world and became a different person." He was not sure where the original Xiao Qiao went.In the original world, this weak and pitiful boy had passed away long ago, but with his arrival, this body that was supposed to perish was occupied by him and reborn.The original Xiao Qiao, like himself, is also very likely to go to another world to be reborn.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, at least this is a good wish, which will make Chen Jianan's life easier.

As expected, Chen Jianan's expression softened a little when he heard the words, he wiped his eyes casually with the back of his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Did you go to your world?"

Qiao Wen: "Maybe."

"What is your world like?"

Qiao Wen chuckled: "Not bad, it must be more suitable for him than your world."

Chen Jianan nodded.

Qiao Wen looked at her silently, and asked, "So Brother Nan, did you believe what I said?"

Chen Jianan lowered his head and said nothing.

Qiao Wen reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Nan..."

Chen Jianan slowly raised his head to look at him, and asked word by word: "Is Xiao Qiao really gone?"

Qiao Wen pursed his lips and nodded with difficulty.

Chen Jianan looked at him, was silent for a moment, and suddenly burst into tears.

Because his movement was too loud, the scattered tourists around couldn't help but look at it, but he didn't notice it.

Qiao Wen silently looked at the crying young man in front of him, and suddenly felt that it was a bit cruel for him, who was originally immersed in the joy of his 20th birthday, to learn of such a thunderbolt.

But once the words have been spoken, they cannot be taken back.He sighed wistfully, patted the other person on the shoulder, turned around to pack their luggage, returned the rented parasol and walked back. The guy was still crying bitterly on the spot.

Qiao Wen had no choice but to bend down and hold his arm: "Brother Nan, the sun has set, let's go back."

Chen Jianan cried and stood up, but his whole body seemed to be exhausted, he couldn't stand at all, so he could only rely on Qiao Wen's poor strength to move forward with difficulty.

Qiao Wen dragged him into the car with all his strength.He sat in the driver's seat himself, fastened the seat belt on the co-pilot, looked at him silently, took a deep breath, started the car, and left this still beautiful coast.

On the way back, Chen Jianan was crying all the time, at first he was wailing, and then he didn't know if he was tired, but it turned into intermittent sobs.Qiao Wen was worried that he would pass over.I don't know how a big man who is not afraid of pain or suffering can cry so much?

But thinking about it immediately, this crying was because of the original little Qiao—that beautiful younger brother whom he loved with all his heart, and he couldn't help sighing again.

Back downstairs in the apartment, the lights are already on.

Qiao Wen originally wanted to help him back, but when he opened the car door and pulled his arm, he realized that this guy was already hysterical, and he couldn't even call him if he couldn't move, so he went to find a public phone next to him, and called the guy upstairs down.

Hao Zai, who came in a hurry, saw the person in the car whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, and was shocked: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Did someone beat you?"

Chen Jianan was still sobbing and dazed, turning a deaf ear to his words.

Hao Zai asked anxiously again: "Brother Ah Wen, what happened to my brother?"

Qiao Wen: "...was beaten."

Haozai was furious: "Who is it? Even dare to beat my brother? I'm going to tell Brother Feng."

Qiao Wen: "Stop asking, carry your brother upstairs and let him have a good rest."

"Yeah." Haozai nodded vigorously, pulled Chen Jianan out of the passenger seat and carried it on his back with rough hands and feet, and he didn't forget to ask Qiao Wen, "Brother Awen, you haven't been beaten, have you?"

Qiao Wen: "...No."

Thinking that the other party needs a little time to calm down, or maybe he is not willing to face him as an outsider who has occupied the magpie's nest for the time being, after returning home, Qiao Wen didn't go to the next door to check on Chen Canaan's situation.

In fact, he was right. For the next week or so, Chen Jianan did not appear in front of him. He heard from Hao Zai that he had something to do recently and stayed in the martial arts hall.

Something is false, hiding him is true.

From the moment Qiao Wen chose to tell the other party the truth, he knew what consequences he might face.But thinking that Chen Jianan, who was so clingy to him before, might become estranged with him from now on, if he said he didn't feel sad at all, it would be a lie.

Because Chen Jianan is the most important person in this different world.

In the evening, Chen Jianan naturally wouldn't come to him to report, and the English books and cards prepared for him were still on the bedside table.

Thinking of the past month, this guy was so tired that his eyelids were fighting every day, and he was trying to learn English, he wanted to laugh, but also felt sad...and a little angry.

This bastard, although he is not Xiao Qiao who grew up with him, but the experience of the two of them living together day and night for more than a year, is it just written off like this?

If I treat him so well, do I also want to kill him?

He couldn't imagine it.

Originally, Qiao Wen hoped that Chen Jianan would figure it out and take the initiative to find him, but after more than a week, this guy hadn't even returned home, so it was obvious that he would figure it out soon.

In the end, I found an excuse and went to the Anan Martial Arts Hall.

He didn't go upstairs directly, but gave two yuan to a newspaper boy on the side of the road and asked him to go upstairs to the Anan martial arts hall, saying that someone was looking for Liangzi Nan.

Chen Jianan came down quickly, the newsboy went out, and he followed, but when he saw Qiao Wen standing by the side of the road, he turned around and fled inside as if he had seen a ghost.

"Chen Canaan!" Qiao Wen called out to him loudly.

So Liang Zinan's escaping pace could only be aborted halfway, then he turned around slowly, and walked towards him with his head drooping.Although he walked in front of him, he still didn't look up, just stared at his toes for a while without making a sound.

I haven't seen him for more than a week. This guy probably hasn't eaten or slept well. He seems to have lost a lot of weight, but it may be because he hasn't gone out in the martial arts gym, so he is a little pale, so he looks even more haggard.

Qiao Wen was actually a little distressed, but he laughed again at his reaction, and he took a deep breath: "Brother Nan, the application materials for the villa have been redone, and you are also the boss. I'll take it here and you can sign it. We will do it tomorrow." Resend the batch."

Chen Jianan still lowered his head: "Oh."

Qiao Wen took a fountain pen and handed it to him, spread out the document in his hand, and pointed to the signature place: "Here."

Holding the pen in his hand, Chen Jianan signed his name with a hand like a chicken paw. After signing, he returned the pen to him and turned to leave.

"Brother Nan..." Qiao Wen stopped him again.

Chen Jianan stopped, but did not turn around.

Qiao Wen sighed and asked, "Are you blaming me?"

Chen Jianan shook his head and said in a muffled voice, "No."

Qiao Wen smiled helplessly: "I know you can't accept it, but it's not something I can choose." He paused slightly, "To be honest, I don't want to be someone else, if I can, I would like to Go back to my original world."

Chen Jianan suddenly turned his head and looked at him with wide eyes in astonishment.

Qiao Wen took a deep breath and waved to him: "Okay, keep calm, and come to me when you figure it out."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and got into the taxi waiting on the side of the road without looking back.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Chen Jianan's alienated reaction made him a little hurt.

And Chen Jianan, who was standing on the side of the road, looked at the taxi leaving in the dust, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened in horror, and he wanted to run after him and stop the car, but when he realized it, the red car , has quickly disappeared around the corner.

At 09:30 in the evening, Qiao Wen was watching TV with his grandmother when there was a knock on the door.

He got up and walked to the entrance, opened the door, and saw the tall figure standing at the door, he was stunned for a moment, almost suspecting that he was wrong.

Chen Jianan looked at him, looked away unnaturally, and whispered, "Xiao Qiao, I'm here to learn English."

Qiao Wen looked at him silently for a moment, finally sighed, turned sideways, and said, "Come in."

The two walked into the house one after the other.

Grandma Qiao didn't see Chen Jianan for more than a week, and when she saw someone coming to the house, she smiled and said, "A'nan, I haven't seen you for a few days, is the martial arts hall so busy?"

Chen Jianan whispered, "I'm a bit busy these days."

Grandma Qiao said: "Oh, you've lost weight, didn't you have a good meal, and you still have to go home to eat!"

Chen Jianan faltered and nodded: "Yes."

Grandma Qiao smiled and nodded, got up and said: "Okay, you two children are playing, my old lady went back to her room to rest."

Qiao Wen said: "Grandma, good night."

Watching grandma enter the bedroom, Qiao Wen turned off the TV, glanced at Chen Jianan, and then walked towards his room.

Chen Jianan silently followed him.

Unlike usual, he didn't rush to bed today, laughing and making a fuss, but sat on the edge of the bed obediently, watched Qiao Wen pick up the English book and cards, and then whispered: "Remember what you learned before. Hold on, let’s learn three sentences and three words today.”

Qiao Wen took a look and nodded.

He sat down opposite him, with almost two people in the middle.

The two were really like teachers and students, one taught seriously and the other studied hard, neither of them said anything else.

After half an hour, the class ended.

Qiao Wen put the books and cards back on the bedside table, and then he took the time to look at the young man opposite him.Chen Jianan's haggard black eyes finally met his.

The two just looked at each other, and after a while, Chen Jianan finally said, "Little Qiao..."

"Ok?"

Chen Jianan lowered his head again, looked at his fingers that seemed to have no place to rest, and said in a low voice: "You said earlier that you really wanted to return to your own world."

Qiao Wen nodded: "Yes."

Chen Jianan said: "Then you will leave too?"

Qiao Wen was slightly taken aback, and after a while, he smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "Probably not, unless he dies again."

Chen Jianan raised his head suddenly, and covered his mouth tightly with his hand.

Qiao Wen was taken aback by his unexpected action, opened his dark eyes and looked at him strangely.

Chen Jianan seemed to have realized something suddenly, and quickly withdrew his hands in a panic, and even put his back behind his back, then got up in a hurry and said, "Then I'm going back to sleep."

Qiao Wen nodded, stood up with him, and silently walked him to the door.

Chen Jianan went out, turned around again, watched his lips flutter for a while, and finally said: "Goodnight."

Qiao Wen sighed: "Good night."

Then he closed the door gently, Chen Jianan looked at the door in front of him that separated him from Qiao Wen, turned around, leaned against the door panel as if releasing his strength, and slapped himself forcefully.
