The rain outside was getting lighter, but their situation did not improve because the car suddenly slid down a section under the weight.

Luo Xuan and Tang Xu were next to each other, and neither of them spoke anymore. Tang Xu didn't know what he was thinking, and his mind was a little distracted.When the car slid down, Luo Xuan suddenly grabbed Tang Xu's arm and pulled him towards him. It was precisely because of this that they were safely huddled in this small space again.

The space is too small, too small to accommodate two people.

Tang Xu wanted to ask Luo Xuan why he was not pushed out but pulled in.

But before Tang Xu could ask, Luo Xuan asked first, "Actually, I'm the older brother, right?"

At that moment, Tang Xu wondered if his eyes were red.

It was pitch black all around, and behind was sticky and wet soil, and the cold was forced into the bones, wet and cold.There was the sound of pattering rain and Luo Xuan's breathing, and the only warmth was the heat from Luo Xuan's arm.

It is said that darkness can easily destroy a person's will. Tang Xu thinks that his will has not been destroyed, but it is probably softened by the darkness all over the sky, otherwise how could he regret it.

Tang Xu wondered if he could survive until he was rescued. This was the first time he had touched death so close.

He thought, if he hadn't stopped at the gate of A by some strange circumstances back then, would things have been different, would he not have died so early?

Since his adoptive parents passed away, he followed people from the village to work in the city. Although he was a small worker on a construction site or in a factory, he was already dazzled by such knowledge.But he knows that there are more exciting parts in this world, such as the big shopping malls that he never enters every time, the big hotels with cars passing by, the high-end restaurants with fragrance, and even the office workers who meet back and forth on the road, They all have completely different lives than his.

He forced himself to bow his head and do things, not thinking about what he couldn't get, but he still secretly envied him.

Every time he passes by those cafes with French windows with bright and clean windows, he will slow down; every time he sees those well-dressed peers, he will take a few more glances; every time he hears people talking about things he doesn't understand, he will listen more for a while.

The most uncomfortable thing for him is taking the bus to the construction site, because he will meet students who are just a few years younger or older than him, carrying schoolbags and wearing school uniforms, and talking about exams, reviewing and playing. Things to play around.And him?Wearing shabby clothes, there are tools covered with mud at his feet, and his skin is much darker from the sun.In the crowded carriage, he was pushed into the group of students by the crowd. The students stepped back slightly, and he stood awkwardly holding on to the handrail, or looked down at the scenery outside the window.

Later, he would try his best to avoid the commute to and from get out of class, or simply live next to the construction site to save the time of running back and forth.

A few older workers would occasionally laugh at him and tell him to do things down-to-earth and not to envy others who can go to school, since he would not be envious anyway.But he also accidentally heard them talking about him behind his back, with pity in their tone.

They said that my baby was about his age and was still studying in the village.

They said that it was his fate, otherwise he would not have come out to work so early.

They said, if he is lucky, he is still studying in school now. Seeing how smart he looks, maybe he can go to college!

So when he changed a bus and passed by gate a early this morning, he raised his head and got off the bus.

He stood at the gate and looked at the tall school gate in awe.

On the first day, he stood at the door and watched without going in.

The next day, he still didn't go in.

On the third day, he walked into the campus wearing his cleanest set of clothes.

It was the peak time for classes, and he didn't think it was very lively at the entrance of the campus. Except for the vehicles of the school teachers, only a few students ran in with their books.But as he got closer and closer to the teaching area, the crowd on the road was like water being dumped suddenly, a large number of students suddenly appeared, especially the main road where he was on, was divided into two groups of people going back and forth, There are many, the pace is fast, but orderly.

He has never been surrounded by so many students. They are walking towards the teaching building in twos and threes with books or backpacks in their hands. He didn't move, he could only keep yelling to give way.

The most crowded scene he has ever seen is sending his workers to the train station to sit home during the Chinese New Year, but he and the workers are pushing forward with all their strength, shouting loudly.

But when he was surrounded by students, his eyes were full of energetic smiling faces and energetic gestures, and his ears were filled with noisy laughter and voices, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Student, give way." Someone from behind pushed him away and squeezed past him.

He moved back and forth from side to side, making way for those behind him.He passed them by, glanced at their clothes and appearance, and said nothing.

However, to his surprise, the crowd lasted less than 10 minutes.

Crowds come and go fast.Like a sea tide, it quickly rises and quickly dissipates.

Soon there were only a few students walking from the teaching building to the dormitory with their books. He stood in the middle of the road blankly, not knowing where to go.

Suddenly someone bumped into him, and that person ran over quickly, leaving only one voice, "Student, I'm sorry."

He saw the hem of the man's clothes and flying hair, and he caught a glimpse of the man's side face, which seemed familiar inexplicably.

When he came back to his senses, the man had already run far away, and he slowly followed.

Probably because he was late for class, the man rushed into the teaching building, turned around familiarly for a while, and lost Tang Xu.

The surroundings became quiet, and the teacher's voice came from the classroom.

He glanced into the classroom. Unlike the dirty and dark classrooms in the village, the classrooms here are surrounded by large windows and rows of lights above the head, which are full of light and very bright.White walls and long tables are neatly arranged in rows, from high to low.The teacher stands on a large podium with a loudspeaker installed on the podium, and the voice is loud, and there are four blackboards embedded behind him.

The envy and excitement in Tang Xu's heart as he stood at the window almost overwhelmed him, and he stood there for a long time.

However, he didn't understand a word of what the teacher said.

He changed a classroom, still did not hear, another one, another one, another one.He found that no matter what professional courses these teachers were taking, he couldn't understand them.

You see, he doesn't even have the ability to listen in.This is the gap.

Then, he spotted the man he had just met.

The man sat in the last row, sleeping on the table, the sun shone on his face, shining slightly.

In the next few days, Tang Xu would come here at a fixed time every day, follow that person, watch him get along with friends and classmates, and even see him kissing an alpha named Wen Junlong.

Why did you choose to follow him?Because they look alike, alike.He'd even walked past him wearing a hat once, and noticed that they smelled very similar, too.

Sometimes he feels that this person is another self in the world, but if you ask him how he feels, he only feels envious and curious.

At this time, he was not malicious.

He followed Tang Xiao for several days, because he hid in the crowd and often wore a hat, so he was not conspicuous.Tang Xiao is a boarding student and only occasionally goes home on weekends. As long as Tang Xiao leaves the school, Tang Xu usually won't follow her.

But this day is an exception.

He saw Tang Xiao following a fat man, who was also his classmate, and seemed to have a good relationship, he saw them eating together several times.I don't know why Tang Xiao suddenly started following this fat man. On the way, he answered a phone call, told the other party before calling back, and then hung up hastily.

Out of curiosity, he also followed.

They didn't go very far, but went around to the back of the school.It is said that it used to be a small village, but it was demolished because of the expansion of the school. However, the school only built teaching buildings and dormitories because of the project, and the remaining area was not perfect. Only a gate was made to divide the school territory.

There are still traces of construction here. There is a gravel road leading to the dormitory building at the gate. Although the location is relatively remote, although the gate is at the back, it is next to the corridor, so occasionally students will take a shortcut to enter and exit from here.About [-] meters away from the gate, there are a few dilapidated houses. I don’t know if they were left by the villagers or the workers’ sheds, but because they are too dilapidated and the surrounding grass is overgrown, no one cares about them.

Tang Xu was surprised to see that this place was completely different from the glamorous school, but it really belonged to a part of the school. What surprised him even more was that Tang Xiaozui sneaked into the innermost broken house behind the fat man.

It was getting late, Tang Xu was hesitant to leave, but just as he was about to leave, he saw a few students coming in behind the gate, and he backed away.

He stayed outside, and for some reason he began to worry about Tang Xiao, with a sense of foreboding.

The surrounding area is very quiet, and only two groups of students pass by in an hour or two, but there are vehicles passing by only on the national road separated by a wall, and the speed is very fast.

Seeing that Tang Xiao hadn't come out for a long time, Tang Xu decided to leave again, but just as he walked to the gate, he saw Tang Xiao rushing out, so he quickly hid aside.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, Tang Xiao was caught by the fat man just as he was about to cross the road, they had a fierce dispute, he even heard Tang Xiao yelling and cursing, his voice was unprecedentedly sharp.At this time, a truck came from a distance, and its headlights shot from a long distance, but Tang Xiao and the others' dispute was not over yet.

What Tang Xu didn't expect was that the fat man took advantage of Tang Xiao's emotional instability and pushed him onto the national road, and Tang Xiao was knocked out by an oncoming car.

The fat man ran away, Tang Xu was frightened, and Tang Xiao was lying on the road, bleeding a lot.

"I was just an ignorant migrant worker at the time. I was young and inexperienced. I suddenly ran into a murder and was so frightened." Tang Xu said to Luo Xuan in the dark: "At that time, I just wanted to run away. Don't be seen by the murderer. After I saw the driver get out of the car and send you away, I had the strength to run away."

But when the same thing appeared in front of him again, he chose to save people instead of standing idly by.

"I went back to the construction site and didn't sleep all night. I was so scared that I was shaking. Even Amano thought I was sick. Heh, that fool." Tang Xu's tone became a little low again when he mentioned Lian Amano.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​impersonating me?" Luo Xuan asked, "Seriously, this idea is too bold, aren't you afraid of being caught?"

"In fact, I didn't intend to impersonate you at first. I was honest on the construction site for more than a month, and I passed your school once before I walked in. I met a classmate of yours who opened a coffee shop in the school. He Chatted with me a lot. It was only then that I realized that you hadn’t shown up, so I thought you were dead. And your classmate chatted with me for so long, but he didn’t notice any difference in me. It outlined many bright futures for me, which moved my heart. Immediately afterwards, I went to the Academic Affairs Office, got your graduation certificate and some materials, and started impersonating you as a matter of course."
