Lin Jianqiu woke up from his sleep.

When I opened my eyes, I heard the cries of my former friends, howling ghosts and howling wolves—it is said that I wanted to rehearse how to cry in advance to make it look more realistic.

I hope he won't cry so badly in front of his tombstone.

Best not to cry.

It is better to die of illness than a sudden accident, and to be able to close your eyes quietly at the end? It is not a particularly sad thing.

Although she is one of Lin Jianqiu's few friends, Yu Xiao is different from Lin Jianqiu who is used to keeping a distance from others.

Yu Xiao has a cheerful and optimistic personality. She has both parents and friends all over the world.

Lin Jianqiu is just one of them.

Even if he would feel sad because of Lin Jianqiu's death, Yu Xiao would never fall into despair. After that mood passed, he would still face life positively.

At most, there is one more reminder for him to go to the grave every year, and then let his chatty nature be used, and he will chatter to the tombstone for several hours.

Then turn around and leave,? Go back to your original life.

Lin Jianqiu knew him well, so he didn't feel worried, and even deliberately didn't recall it.

Perhaps because of the influence of the conversation with Lu Wanfeng at night, the old man appeared in the long-lost dream, as well as those details that he had ignored intentionally or unintentionally.

Lin Jianqiu was not prepared to have a good relationship with Yu Xiao at first.

They are just classmates in elementary school and junior high school, but they didn't know each other well when they were young. After graduating from junior high school, they never met again until Lin Jianqiu disappeared for several years. With scars all over his body, he was alone Return to the original city.

By mistake or coincidence, Lin Jianqiu accidentally saved Yu Xiao once, and has been entangled ever since.

For a long time, Lin Jianqiu couldn't understand Yu Xiao's enthusiasm for him, but felt that he was in the way.

Yu Xiao is a very adventurous person. She is so courageous that she doesn't know how to write the four characters "heavenly high and earth thick". Whenever she has free time, she will run behind Lin Jianqiu's ass, and dare to follow directly into the murder scene.

——then covered his mouth and rushed out to vomit.

Yu Xiao has no experience or talent in solving crimes. He is a photographer by profession and is good at spotting beauty, which obviously cannot be applied to corpses.

Lin Jianqiu felt annoyed for a while, because this guy is really a master at causing trouble. The only thing to be thankful for is that his luck is not bad, and he has not suffered any irreparable damage.

Yu Xiao failed to leave voluntarily when she got tired of playing, as Lin Jianqiu expected at the beginning.

Lin Jianqiu gave him a cold face, quarreled, and even moved his hands. Yu Xiao was also so angry that he jumped, was poked at the painful spot, turned around and left with a dark face.

But not long after, Lin Jianqiu could see his shadow in every corner again.

In fact, Lin Jianqiu vaguely knew what he was doing for, but he never thought about it or faced it.

Until one time when the suspect was arrested, Lin Jianqiu was also at the scene, and he was very close, so he chased the suspect up to the rooftop without hesitation.

The suspect panicked and ran to the edge. Lin Jianqiu rushed over without thinking.

Yu Xiao grabbed him from behind and refused to let him charge forward no matter what.

Seeing this, the suspect wanted to take the opportunity to escape from another passageway.

Lin Jianqiu glared at Yu Xiao with a cold expression, and told him to let go.

Instead, Yu Xiao grabbed his wrist even harder, as if she wanted to break it, but in fact he just stopped Lin Jianqiu from rushing forward.

Lin Jianqiu hadn't recovered well at that time, and it was difficult for him to break through the obstruction of a grown man who tried his best.

They stalemate on the rooftop for a long time.

It wasn't until the police who arrived later that they arrested the suspect in time that Yu Xiao let go and sat down on the ground with a plop, her hands still trembling uncontrollably.

He looked like he was afraid, but he was definitely not afraid of Yu Lin Jianqiu's gloomy face.

"I always thought you would jump off the roof directly." Yu Xiao explained later.

I do not know.

At that time, Lin Jianqiu couldn't even say these three words.

The suspect who ran to the rooftop committed a heinous crime. Because of greed and jealousy, he tortured and killed two neighbors, a total of nine people. The oldest old man was 87 years old, and the youngest child was still in his infancy.

Such a scumbag would never die.

If he dies accidentally during the arrest, no one will sympathize with him.

When Lin Jianqiu chased him, he didn't think about how to protect himself from getting hurt. No matter whether it was high altitude, volcanic karst, or deep sea, he would rush up without hesitation.

Even if they die together, he will never allow the other party to have the slightest possibility of escape.

If Yu Xiao didn't pull him, he might really fall from the rooftop with the murderer.

Falling from that height can only lead to death.

Lin Jianqiu later thanked Yu Xiao for this incident.

Yu Xiao said he was not sincere.

"If you really want to thank me, stop thinking about suicide."

"I heard that the goddess of death is an ugly monster, aren't you afraid of having nightmares after seeing her?"

He only said that once.

Lin Jianqiu didn't accept the words, and he never verbally approved Yu Xiao's speculation about him, but the people around him seemed to never be able to really let go of him.

Even though later he gradually became more calm and calm.

If they walked in front of Lin Jianqiu, they would definitely not be able to help but worry, and they would not be able to feel at ease until they died.

Occasionally, Lin Jianqiu would be grateful for this.

They don't know the existence of another world, and naturally they won't worry about a dead person anymore.

This is a good thing.

However, Lin Jianqiu himself...

Even in a different world, until now, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have made much progress.

I still like to be outside.

What is incompatible with this world is not only the separated memory, but also his own inability to let go.

Lu Wanfeng woke up from the smell of burning smoke.

"Is it on fire?" He jumped up suddenly.

He looked up in a panic, looking for the smell, and saw Lin Jianqiu standing in the kitchen, holding a corner of the paper in one hand, and lighting it with a lighter in the other.

Although the door was closed and the window was open, the smell still came out through the cracks.

He had clearly burned quite a bit.

In the dim light, only the dancing light of the fire reflected his side face. It was rare to see him smiling, and his brows and eyes became cold and sharp.

He remained silent, with the fire in his eyes, but he had a different sense of peace.

Lu Wanfeng was stunned for a moment, then hurried over, pulling open the glass door of the kitchen.

"What are you doing here without sleeping at night?!" Lu Wanfeng snatched the lighter from Lin Jianqiu's hand, and couldn't help complaining, "Those who didn't know thought you were going to the grave."

Seeing this scene suddenly in the middle of the night is really a bit scary.

Lu Wanfeng stuffed the lighter into his pocket, while subconsciously patting his heart and breathing calmly.

Lin Jianqiu didn't struggle, and the last half of the paper in his hand fell into the dry pool, slowly turning into ashes.

"It can be considered." Lin Jianqiu smiled, "It's useless, it will be clean after burning."

"What are you burning?" Lu Wanfeng looked at him suspiciously, "What happened to you these two days?"

Why does it look so wrong?

As Lu Wanfeng thought about it, he glanced at the pool, and saw that the book with the black cover, which used to be a thick book, was torn into half.

If I remember correctly...it seems to be the notebook used by Lin Jianqiu to record the outline of the novel.

Lu Wanfeng once read it by accident. The handwriting was scribbled and there were many incomprehensible symbols, but Lin Jianqiu spent a long time and energy writing it, and every page was full of memorization.

Looking at the pool again, the fire will be extinguished, leaving only a corner and a little spark, and the words on it can no longer be read clearly.

When the wind from the kitchen door outside the window blows, the ashes also scattered.

It was too late to be rescued.

As soon as Lu Wanfeng stretched out his hand, he froze in place. After realizing what it was, he was even more distressed than the person involved.

"All, all burned?" He stammered.

"The manuscript was burned." Lin Jianqiu picked up the remaining half of the notebook, opened it for Lu Wanfeng to take a look, except for a few scattered strange symbols, all the written pages were torn off. There was nothing left.

"Are you not going to write a novel?" Lu Wanfeng asked.

"Write." Lin Jianqiu replied.

"Then why did you burn it? What motivated you? Do you have an electronic backup?"

"No." Lin Jianqiu shook his head, with a calm tone, "I just want to write something new. I don't want to think about it after burning these."

In a box.

Ye Huaishuang put down her phone and pressed the center of her eyebrows.

Wei Congbai, who was sitting opposite, stepped on the stool with one foot and held the wine bottle in the other, his face was flushed and he was agitated.

"...I just don't care about the bastard surnamed Ye, otherwise I would have beaten him all over the place-Brother Ye, I'm not talking about you, just like him, compared to you, Brother Ye It’s not far away, and I don’t know what to do every day, if it’s not that Brother Ye is not interested in you, or you will get him to take over the company sometime... Pooh, I can pretend to be majestic if I am not capable.”

"In the past, my mind was filled with water. I just wanted to compare myself with him every day. The structure is too small. From now on, what Ye Linyun does is none of my business."

"But the premise is that he doesn't want to touch my friend. Forget about the past. I am magnanimous and don't care about him. But if he dares to do any tricks in the future, don't blame me for smashing his dog's head off!"

Jiu Zhuang is cowardly, Wei Congbai seems to be completely unaware that the person sitting opposite is his brother who is the object of his crazy ridicule, and he can't stop complaining about his former rival.

From time to time, there are a few words of instructions to Ye Huaishuang.

"Brother Ye, you have to be nice to Lin Jianqiu, or don't harm him."

"He is only very different to you. Maybe you are the one who can understand him."

"I believe Brother Ye, you are different from Ye Linyun who half-heartedly looks for a substitute all day long. You still seem to have a bottom line."

……

Ye Huaishuang knew that it was unreasonable to talk to a drunk.

Sure enough, he shouldn't have agreed to replace juice with wine.

However, he did not expect Wei Congbai to have so many complaints against Ye Linyun. As family friends, the relationship between the two of them was actually good when they were young, and they gradually had conflicts after entering elementary school.

Parents and elder brothers may not be ignorant of it, but they just treat it as a small fight between children and never take it to heart.

However, so many years later, they have not been able to clear up their previous suspicions, but their relationship has become worse.

Listening to Wei Congbai's complaints, there is no reason for such a result.

Both of them are extremely egotistical people, and neither of them will take the initiative to bow their heads. After fighting for so many years since they were young, the accumulated old grievances are enough for them to fight for decades.

Coupled with the misunderstanding caused by Qi Yueze's matter, the two of them have almost been at odds with each other in the past two years.

However, Wei Congbai had the courage to run away from home and start from scratch. He was more open-minded than Ye Linyun. Ever since he experienced a trough and discovered a misunderstanding, he really stopped thinking about fighting with Ye Linyun all day long.

Speaking of it now, apart from habitual ridicule and contempt, he was only worried that Ye Linyun would continue to take revenge on Lin Jianqiu.

Ye Huaishuang did not stop him, nor did he reprimand him.

Soon Wei Cong Bai's assistant arrived, knocked on the door and came in, seeing the mess everywhere and couldn't help but get a headache.

Fortunately, Ye Huaishuang didn't look angry.

The assistant kept saying "I'm causing you trouble" to him, and at the same time supported his boss to take him back.

Wei Congbai was so delirious from drinking a long time ago, he didn't struggle too much when he heard his assistant say "go back".

The assistant said goodbye to Ye Huaishuang in a low voice.

Wei Congbai followed the assistant to the door, suddenly seemed to remember something, tried to break away from the assistant's hand, turned his head to look at Ye Huaishuang, seriously as if he was about to say something about a big secret.

"Brother Ye, today's matter...you are not allowed to tell Lin Jianqiu, you are not allowed to mention a single word!"

He stretched out his index finger to gesture, and staggered.

The assistant quickly caught him: "Mr. Wei?"

Wei Congbai thought he was asking a question, so he shyly threw out two words: "Shame!"

assistant:"……"

It took a lot of effort not to show the disgusted face.

Ye Huaishuang, who had only drank plain water and fruit juice all night, was still sober, but he didn't laugh at Wei Congbai's drunk stupidity, just nodded and said, "Okay."

Wei Congbai didn't know if he saw it, muttering something in his mouth, and was dragged away by his assistant.

"I still need face..."

The assistant went out and looked around, and asked the waiter if there was a small door that no one was going through.

This is going to be seen by others, and the boss will definitely become so angry that he wants to kill and then commit suicide after he wakes up.

When Ye Huaishuang returned to the car, Wei Congbai's assistant reluctantly dragged him into the car.

The assistant was so tired that he was out of breath and didn't have the heart to pay attention to his surroundings.

And it was already late at night, and the parking lot was underground, so no one could be seen at all.

The assistant got into the driver's seat and started the car. Ye Huaishuang could see his eyes rolled into the sky from a distance.

He felt somewhat apologetic, after all, he was the one who sent a message to Wei Congbai's assistant to pick him up at night.

What followed was somewhat amusing.

The assistant dared to mutter and complain in front of Wei Congbai, and he didn't seem to be afraid of him at all, and he worked hard without complaint.

When Wei left home from Baili back then, Ye Huaishuang also heard that Wei's family was in a mess. Wei's father was a strict and respectful person, and he would never take the initiative to bow to his son. He sighed behind his back, worried that his son would have a bad life outside.

Wei Congbai could be regarded as Ye Huaishuang watched him grow up, so it is impossible to say that he didn't care at all.

However, he felt that there was no harm in young people wandering outside alone, and Father Wei was not hopeless, otherwise he would have asked the bodyguards to tie his son back because of his "face".

It's just that Wei Congbai comes from a good background and has been used to being praised since he was a child. When he is out alone, he will inevitably offend others because of his bad temper.

At that time, don't talk about making any career, it will be fine if you don't get maimed with sacks.

Mother Wei sometimes came to Ye's house to visit and raised these worries.

Ye Huaishuang heard a few words occasionally, and felt that although it was exaggerated, it was not unreasonable.

But looking at it now, he felt that Aunt Wei was a little too worried.

Children who were lonely and defiant when they were young will also grow up gradually.

In contrast, the one in his house is...

Thinking of her younger brother, Ye Huaishuang's expression darkened again.

When Wei Congbai was taken away by his assistant, Ye Huaishuang took off his glasses, pinched the center of his brows, and sighed softly, feeling a rare headache.

Although he knew that his younger brother was unreliable, he never expected to be so unreliable.

Don't mention Lin Jianqiu's matter, there are still many dark histories of misconduct that are hidden from the family.

And Lin Jianqiu...

Ye Huaishuang closed her eyes and suppressed her anger.

After calming down, he picked up his phone and checked the time.

By this time it was too late, parents should have gone to bed early.

Ye Huaishuang soon noticed the unread messages on the phone again, probably because she was too busy chatting with Wei Congbai to notice the notification tone.

The message was from Lin Jianqiu.

I didn't say anything special, I just mentioned the previous manuscript and said that I wanted to change the subject and rewrite it.

Then he said some words of thanks, thanking him for walking around with him in the afternoon to relax and so on.

However, it was already midnight when it was sent, either I stayed up too late, or I woke up insomnia in the middle of the night.

Obviously, the trance-tired state during the day was not just a temporary accident.

Ye Huaishuang frowned slightly, grabbed the phone, typed a few paragraphs and deleted them one by one, and almost cut out to search the Daquan of comforting words.

In the end, I just left the comfort I wanted to convey based on my intuition.

Lin Jianqiu did not reply.

Ye Huaishuang looked at the time again, hoping that he had fallen asleep soundly.

The next morning, the Ye family.

Madam Ye had just changed her clothes and went downstairs when she heard the doorbell ring.

There was no one else in the living room on the first floor, so she hurried over to open the door.

"Which one - Huaishuang?"

When she saw the person outside the door, Mrs. Ye was taken aback: "Didn't you say you have something to do these two days? Why don't you take a rest and come back so early?"

Ye Huaishuang stood at the door, her hair was stained with rain, and her clothes were obviously wrinkled.

Mrs. Ye quickly let him in, then turned and went to the bathroom to get a towel.

While wiping her glasses, Ye Huaishuang explained, "I forgot to take the key when I came out. I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep."

Mrs. Ye handed over the towel and sighed: "What are you talking about, I happened to wake up early too, and I don't like to sleep in like your father."

"You came back in such a hurry, did something happen to the company? I'll call your dad down."

As she said that, she made a gesture and turned around to go upstairs to call for someone.

Ye Huaishuang stopped her.

"It's not about the company." He asked, "Is Linyun at home?"

Lin Jianqiu didn't know anything about what was going to happen to the Ye family.

He tossed until midnight the night before, but after that he slept surprisingly soundly.

When I woke up, it was already bright outside and the rain had stopped.

Lu Wanfeng was already preparing his last breakfast here in the kitchen.

Lin Jianqiu sat on the bed in a daze for a while, looking at the half notebook left by the bed, he felt a little real.

The phone screen on the bedside table flickered.

Overnight, there were a bunch of unread messages on the phone, most of which were sent by Wei Congbai.

Lin Jianqiu rolled his eyes casually, and he was sure that he probably sent it randomly after he was drunk. At a glance, it was almost all garbled characters.

He simply backed out, and the following is Ye Huaishuang's reply.

Probably comfort.

Lin Jianqiu only saw the last two lines.

[I am not the only one who cares about you in this world. ]

[If you fall, there will be many people willing to catch you. ]

Lin Jianqiu was startled, and when he came back to his senses, he had already recovered.

[Does that include you too? ]

It's as joking as it is in conversation.

After sending it out, he felt that it seemed inappropriate.

But before he withdrew, the other party replied immediately.

[including me. ]
