Completely withdrawn from the past, Duan Youning realized that the hair on Qi Ran's shoulders was a little wet, so he reached out and touched his back: "Did you go out just now?"

Qi Ran sniffed: "Well, I didn't have time to open my umbrella."

Duan Youning was puzzled: "What are you going out for?"

"You keep yelling and can't wake up, I'll go to the staff to borrow tools," Qi Ran said in a muffled voice, "This lock is so annoying, I can't even pry it open with a wire."

Why is it so cute? Duan Youning was so cute by his complaining tone, and directly ignored why he didn't use the spare key.

"Let go of me first," Duan Youning struggled, "Your hair is also wet, go take a hot shower and change into clean clothes, and I'll make ginger soup for you."

"I won't drink ginger soup today," Qi Ran raised his head, his eye circles were still a little red: "If we squeeze together, we won't catch a cold."

Qi Ran, have you ever cried?Duan Youning was at a loss, because he was worried about him, so...

Before he could react, Qi Ran had already gone back to his room and changed his clothes. He could not refuse and put the dark blue pillow beside him. Want to sleep here with me?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Qi Ran went to bed unceremoniously: "I still want to use your quilt."

"I'll be fine when I wake up, I won't have nightmares anymore," Qi Ran's eyes had returned to normal, as if the redness just now was just his illusion, Duan Youning pursed his lips: "Don't worry about me anymore. "

"Go to sleep." Qi Ran was already lying on the bed: "The rain won't stop for a while. They said that the director has announced in the work group that the recording will be suspended tomorrow, so we can sleep a little longer."

Seeing his expression of "you chase me and I won't leave", Duan Youning sighed, got up and got out of bed as if resigned to his fate.

"Where are you going?" Qi Ran quickly sat up and stopped him: "You despise me?"

"At least dry your hair, right?" Duan Youning stretched his arms across his waist: "I'll get you a hair dryer."

**

The weather was getting colder and colder, Duan Youning was really worried, he took Qi Ran who had just finished blow-drying his hair and drank a bowl of ginger soup before giving up.

When he was lying on the bed again, all the palpitations and fatigue were gone, feeling Qi Ran's warm body temperature, Duan Youning finally understood why the lovers in the movie like to hug so much.

They are obviously two independent individuals, but when they hug each other and share their body temperature, even the heartbeat seems to be gradually synchronized. Duan Youning thought, at this moment, he and Qi Ran seem to have become a breathing body.

Duan Youning suddenly wanted to speak: "Do you want to hear about my past?"

Qi Ran was a little surprised: "Is it possible?"

"Of course." Duan Youning smiled lightly, "If you don't mind, I'm different from what you imagined me to be."

"How do you know what I think?" Qi Ran was not convinced: "And no matter what it is, I will think you are very nice and cute."

"Am I cute?" Duan Youning chuckled, "Actually, I only realized that I can be described as cute after I met you."

"My original world is similar to this one. The economy, technology and culture are very similar, and the operating rules are the same." Speaking of this, Duan Youning suddenly realized that this world was actually created by the author based on the real world.

The people he came into contact with, including himself now, are all characters written by the author. Probably all the people and things are so real that he has somewhat forgotten that the world he lives in is actually a novel.

That's right, Duan Youning smiled lightly, how could there be so many lovely people in real life, where could there be such a good Qi Ran?

"Why don't you continue talking, what are you like?"

Duan Youning came to his senses and suppressed all his thoughts: "Just like an ordinary child, kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, the difference may be that I may be more mature than most people. Work hard and be lucky, I was admitted to my favorite university when I was 16."

Hearing the pride in his tone, Qi Ran rubbed his head and said softly, "Duan Ningning is really amazing."

"I studied my favorite major, and I didn't like to talk much at that time, so in order to challenge myself, I went to the stock exchange after graduating from a Ph. Later, I felt a little tired, so I went back to my alma mater and became a teacher."

"So I'm actually older than you," Duan Youning took the opportunity to accuse him, "So don't rub my hair from time to time, it's weird."

"However, being a university teacher is not as simple as I thought. You have to prepare your lessons carefully, because you don't know where they will have problems, and you have to urge them to do their homework and hand in their homework, and then give them an exam," Duan Youning Sighing: "Every exam is the most headache for me. Sometimes I can't even understand what they answered, but I can't bear to really fail them, so I have to work hard to build myself mentally."

"However, it is very happy to deal with students who have not yet left school, because they are actually very simple and respect their teachers. Even if you really fail them, there will be no serious consequences," said At this point, Duan Youning suddenly stopped, and looked at Qi Ran who was listening with gusto.

Although he hoped that he would never return to that world, but if he did, Duan Youning thought, he would probably want to thank the student who sent him a tricky email.

"I bought my own house when I was 25 years old," Duan Youning continued, "It's not as big as your villa, but it still has a small yard. I planted a garden in the yard. The peach blossoms in spring, Gardenias in summer, sweet-scented osmanthus in autumn and plum blossoms in winter.”

"The greenery around the house is also very good, and the neighbors are pretty friendly. It's only an hour and a half drive away from the library, and two hours away from the school." Duan Youning chuckled: "I usually stay at school on weekdays, but on weekends I would go to the library to read books when I was young, sometimes I would go to a nearby shopping mall to buy enough ingredients for two days, and occasionally I would go to the pet store in the city center.”

"Do you have a dog?"

"Not yet," Duan Youning sighed, "I was busy at the beginning, but later on I was a little afraid, fearing that I couldn't keep a good pet, so I simply went to the pet store from time to time to enjoy my hands."

"When the recording is over, let's go to the pet shop?" Qi Ran said suddenly: "It just so happens that I'm not busy for a while, and you have time, and even if I get busy, I can take it to the old house, grandma will If you are willing to take care of it, you don’t have to envy other people’s dogs.”

"Okay," Duan Youning nodded, "Then I'll go back and learn from Li Shu. He and Yan Shangci also have a dog, and I will definitely take good care of it."

"Then I'll learn it with you, and we'll raise it together," Qi Ran asked with a light smile, "What about before the age of 16? What was Duan Ningning like before the age of 16?"

Before the age of 16?Duan Youning's tone was a little ethereal: "Duan Youning before the age of 16 was even more lackluster."

"It's just like everyone else. Every day after class, there are endless exercises and exams. The only regret is that I didn't skip class and went to the game hall next to the school." Duan Youning chuckled, "I'm not very smart. I am also afraid of the exams and homework that everyone is afraid of, and I even worry about the long-distance running practice in physical education class every week."

But what 16-year-old Duan Youning fears the most is not the sudden difficulties of the strict and weird math teacher, the 3000-meter suffocating distance in physical education class, or the ubiquitous ridicule and isolation , but the place called home.

In the old residential area, which is two hours' drive from the city center, the dilapidated gates are always open. The crabapple flowers in front of the gate have long since died, and the fitness equipment in the small park has also been scattered. Swearing at the oily finger cakes and driving the morning bus in the city, most of them are old people who are staggering forward.

Although it has been a long time, everything there should be the same as in his memory. Even with his eyes closed, Duan Youning can walk to Unit 157 along the tall buildings with no personality like copy and paste. The handrail counts [-] steps, knocking on the door that is always pasted with countless small advertisements.

Hearing Rong Ke’s never-ending quarrel for nearly 6000 days and nights, seeing one set of ceramic bowls broken in the kitchen wall cabinet, one pillow after another replaced on the sofa, and the crumbling door of the small study. The old bamboo curtains, the piano sound from time to time in the attic, and himself on the balcony that no one expected.

Duan Youning has always been curious, since a person is not expected by anyone, why does he still exist.

He has never expected unique treasures, but it seems that even one percent, one thousandth of love cannot be given to him.

Before the age of ten, Duan Youning would still try to struggle, but when he found that no matter how many honors and praises he won, he couldn’t get even one more minute of attention, no matter how well-behaved or sensible he was, he couldn’t get the same bicycle, no matter No matter how careful he was that only one person in the family could touch the piano that would go out of tune, he never felt unwilling again.

He grew up in ignorance and indifference, and lived a good life. Although he would be ridiculed because he was always absent from the parents' meeting, and he would have no friends because of his withdrawn personality, he still slowly grew into what he liked, even , because of their neglect, he also successfully moved his household registration.

Later, later, when their hopes were dashed, it finally occurred to them that he was still in the family.

However, Duan Youning smiled lightly. At that time, he had already received the notice he wanted and left the place he wanted to escape countless times.

Although it was inevitable to be found later, he no longer cared about those hysterical accusations or tearful begging; although there were times when he walked alone and felt unable to go on, these were not important anymore.

"How about we stop looking for him?"

"He probably hasn't figured out what attitude to use to face us, so he's so flustered and at a loss." Duan Youning sighed softly: "Let's just go with the flow, and when he thinks clearly, he will come naturally." Find us."
