escape the nightmare

Lin Feng seemed to have had a dream.

He saw a little boy in school uniform.The little boy was very thin, not tall, and his appearance was even more unremarkable. There were even some freckles and pimples dotted around his cheeks.The thick glasses not only did not play a decorative role, but instead had a funny sense of a clown.

He felt as if he had seen this child somewhere.

The boy didn't seem to notice Lin Feng's existence, and was still concentrating on his homework with his head down.

Curiosity drove Lin Feng to tiptoe behind the boy, quietly leaned forward a little, and peeked at his name

——Ye Qiao.

Lin Feng is deeply engraved with this name now, and almost hates it deeply.

Ye Qiao stood up suddenly and began to pack her schoolbag.

He had his half-person-high schoolbag on his back, and walked forward without saying a word.The wind blew his hair into a mess, and the sand hit the lenses of his glasses, leaving a slight scratch.It should have just rained around, and the water on the side of the road would be picked up by Ye Qiao's heels from time to time, and the trousers at his ankles had changed from dark blue to yellowish brown, covered with a thick layer of mud.

Ye Qiao didn't care about the surrounding scenery at all, just walked forward with her head down.Lin Feng seemed to see him talking about something, his lips moved up and down.

After Lin Feng tested several times to make sure that Ye Qiao couldn't see him, he began to follow him all the way. When he got close to him, Lin Feng finally managed to hear what he was saying clearly.

It turned out to be "Getaway".

Ye Qiao memorized the book as she walked, and occasionally took out a few small slips of paper from her pocket, which were densely written with formulas and words.

Still a bookworm.

Ye Qiao was too focused on reciting the book, and accidentally tripped while going up the stairs.Lin Feng subconsciously stretched out his hand to support him, but his hand passed through Ye Qiao's body and did not touch him.

Lin Feng withdrew his hand resentfully.

The note in Ye Qiao's hand was scattered all over the floor.His arm appeared to be bruised.Lin Feng saw that Ye Qiao's face was slightly distorted. He rolled up the sleeve on his arm, and there were three bloody scars on it.

Not just these three new bruises, but many, many scars, all of which appear to be from falls and abrasions.

Since Ye Qiao put down the sleeves just after taking a look, Lin Feng couldn't tell how many there were. In short, it was densely packed, and there was no complete piece of skin.

Ye Qiao knocked on the door cautiously.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman with big waves coiled on the back of her head.She was probably cooking, and the apron on her body was covered with sticky oil stains.

"Guawazi, dirty my clothes again." Lin Feng guessed that this should be Mother Ye.She spoke mandarin with an altered tone, Lin Feng could only get a general idea.

She stretched out her hand and pinched Ye Qiao's ear. Ye Qiao didn't resist as if he didn't know the pain, but frowned slightly.

The woman murmured and cursed to herself for a while before entering the room with her hips akimbo.

Ye Qiao kept her head down and followed in.

Ye Qiao locked himself in the room until dinner.Because Lin Feng was shocked by Ye Mu's Lion's Roar, he didn't follow Ye Qiao in time, so he was also locked out of the door.

Therefore, he didn't know what Ye Qiao was doing in the room, even though he put his ear against the door, he could only hear Ye Qiao talking to himself intermittently.

Father Ye came back during dinner.

From Lin Feng's appearance and tone of voice, Father Ye should be a self-employed entrepreneur who has not been very successful in his business.

Also, self-employed people these days are not lucky enough to earn a living.

Father Ye sat down at the dining table, and without saying hello to the mother and son, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and began to wolf down the meal.When Father Ye was almost done eating, Ye Qiao didn't even take a bite of the rice, he just gently picked up a vegetable stalk or two.

As soon as Father Ye opened his mouth, he asked Ye Qiao about his ranking in the exam.

Ye Qiao: "No.... No. 10..."

Father Ye paused after hearing this, and suddenly dropped his chopsticks, and slammed his palm on the tabletop, the tabletop tilted, and the spoon slipped from it, rolled to the ground, and shattered into pieces with a crisp sound.

Immediately afterwards, there was a quarrel between Ye's father and Ye's mother. It was roughly that Ye's father was dissatisfied with Ye Qiao's grades, and Ye's mother was angry that Ye's father broke the good spoon.

Lin Feng felt a headache when he heard it, so he just listened to it.

After the two had quarreled, Father Ye angrily threw the bag back to the room, while Mother Ye went to the bathroom with a broom to sweep up the debris, cursing.

Ye Qiao, who had kept her head down, suddenly got up and walked slowly back to the room.

For some reason, Lin Feng could see a staggering look from Ye Qiao's back.

This time Lin Feng finally followed Ye Qiao and entered his room.

Ye Qiao's room was completely different from his sloppy attire.His room is very tidy, with a whole wall covered with bookshelves. Lin Feng got closer and found that there were books like "Quantum Theory of Multi-Particle Systems", "Elements of Geometry", "Advanced Quantum Mechanics" and so on.

What really disturbed Lin Feng was the mirror wall in Ye Qiao's room.To be precise, it was a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror mounted on the wall.

He is now extremely allergic to mirrors.

After Ye Qiao entered the room, he turned his head around, as if to see if there was anyone around.Worried about being discovered by him, Lin Feng went to the table and squatted down.

After Ye Qiao confirmed that there was no one there, he walked to the mirror.

Ye Qiao cried in front of the mirror.Tears stained the dirt on his body, he wiped his face with his dirty sleeves, the crying covered his murmur, but Lin Feng could still vaguely hear what he said.

Lin Feng roughly understood that Ye Qiao's family was not rich, his father was unsuccessful in starting a business, and his mother had a low education and was just a housewife.They pinned all their family's hopes on Ye Qiao.Ye Qiao has been in various cram schools since she was a child.At the beginning of his life, he was indoctrinated with the idea of ​​"strive to be a master".

But in many cases, hard work is not all of success.If diligence is the ladder to success, that day is the final key.

Ye Qiao was undoubtedly unlucky.

Ye Qiao wiped away her tears with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, trying not to let her cry out.

Lin Feng found that Ye Qiao in the mirror hadn't changed in any way.He just looked indifferently at Ye Qiao.

The next scene made Lin Feng's scalp tingle.

Seeing that Ye Qiao stopped sobbing slowly, he slowly raised his head and reached out to the mirror.

The moment he touched the mirror, Ye Qiao in the mirror reached out and interlocked his fingers.

Their eyes met, and Ye Qiao in the mirror smiled and stepped out of the mirror.

Next comes the other leg.

Then the whole body.

Until Ye Qiao in the mirror came out completely, Ye Qiao was not surprised or surprised.He quietly looked at himself in the mirror, his shoulders were still shaking slightly because of crying too much just now.

Ye Qiao in the mirror reached out and hugged Ye Qiao.Not only did Ye Qiaoba not resist, but after being hugged, he slowly raised his hand and hugged himself in the mirror instead.

Two identical bodies are embracing at this moment.

Lin Feng heard Ye Qiao put his head on his shoulder in the mirror and said a few words softly.He looked as if he was talking to a friend he had known for many years.

"I'm such a failure, I can't be what my parents want."

"I'm so tired and I want to rest."

……

Ye Qiao in the mirror listened to his words, and only after he had finished speaking did he pat him on the back reassuringly.He moved his lips and only said six words.

"Leave it to me."

Ye Qiao nodded, closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually became even - he fell asleep.

Where he couldn't see, Lin Feng saw the corners of Ye Qiao's mouth slightly raised in the mirror, forming a strange arc.

Lin Feng was too familiar with this smile.

Next, the screen scrolled rapidly, Lin Feng seemed to be watching a fast-forward movie.Ever since Ye Qiao reached an agreement with Ye Qiao in the mirror, the two Ye Qiaos have existed alternately in this world.As time passed, even Ye Qiao himself didn't realize that Ye Qiao in the mirror appeared more and more frequently than himself.

But as a bystander, Lin Feng couldn't be more clear.

With a flash in front of Lin Feng's eyes, the scene turned into a private room of a hotel again.

The characters in his memory, such as Gao Qingqing, Chi He and others are all there, and their behavior and conversation are the same as the games that Lin Feng experienced before.This made Lin Feng feel like he was back in the game.

Fortunately, this time he was indeed a bystander.

He watched Gao Qingqing pull Ye Qiao into the private room, Chi He and the others pushed the birthday cake.They clapped their hands, laughed and booed.

As Lin Feng expected, after they blew out the candles, Chi He proposed to play hide-and-seek.

Lin Feng watched all this happening in front of his eyes, and his memory of the game was also constantly recovering.

All the plots after that are similar to those in Lin Feng's memory, but somewhat different.It's just that Ye Qiao is not Lin Feng, Ye Qiao is still that timid little boy with low self-esteem.He knew he couldn't play this kind of game well, so he found a cloakroom and summoned himself in the mirror again.

The self in the mirror agreed to him again with a smile, and played the game for him, and he just stayed in the mirror for a while as the self in the mirror said.

Ye Qiao and Ye Qiao in the mirror looked exactly the same, but their personalities were completely different.Ye Qiao in the mirror gave people a very confident feeling. He always maintained a very gentlemanly smile. Whether it was his manners, speech, EQ or IQ, he could be described as perfect.

Even if he was caught, Ye Qiao in the mirror could still liven up the atmosphere with jokes.

At the very end, the game was over and everyone dispersed after eating the cake.Ye Qiao in the mirror sent off all her friends with a smile.

Seeing that Ye Qiao was in a hurry, Lin Feng patted the mirror anxiously, but the glass of the mirror didn't move at all, and didn't even make a sound.

"Leave it to me." Ye Qiao in the mirror leaned over and looked at Ye Qiao in a condescending manner.

Even Lin Feng couldn't help but shudder when he heard Ye Qiao's words in the mirror.

Lin Feng's eyes darkened.

When he opened his eyes again, the sun had already fallen on the window sill of the room.The warmth and enough sleep brought Lin Feng back to life.

It's just that the dream just now made it hard for Lin Feng to let go.

This should be the true story of the story.

Ye Qiao still lost in the end, but Lin Feng felt that he did not lose to himself in the mirror, but to his inherent inferiority complex and the endless pressure around him.

While drinking the steaming coffee, Lin Feng felt very sorry for Ye Qiao's fate.

Fortunately, he defeated himself.
