When you wake up, the object becomes an old aunt

In the summer of 2007, the weather was sweltering, and the students in Class [-] of Senior Two of Experimental High School were either fanning with their hands or dozing off.

Ruan Qiuchi is in a mathematics class, and the knowledge she is talking about today is the limit of numbers. She is 25 years old, wearing a simple white top and casual suit pants, with a clear voice. She is the goddess in the hearts of many boys and girls. Until a phone call came.

"Sorry, I'll take a call."

Ruan Qiuchi greeted the students, came outside the classroom, took a deep breath, and answered the call from Song Yao.

Song Yao: "Qiu Chi, there is news."

With a "click", the chalk in Ruan Qiuchi's hand was broken, and the white powder fell on her cuff. Her lips trembled, and it took her a long time to find her own voice.

"Really, where is she?"

There was joy and excitement hidden in Ruan Qiuchi's voice, and Song Yao couldn't bear to add: "The police found a highly decomposed corpse on the top of Qishan Mountain. The identity has yet to be confirmed. The forensic doctor has already conducted a preliminary examination. The person is 22 years old. Up and down, about 168 cm in height, which matches Lin Mu, but the DNA test results have not yet come out, so it may not be her."

Song Yao specially added the last sentence, but Ruan Qiuchi didn't respond for a long time: "Qiuchi?"

Ruan Qiuchi's voice was dry: "I'm fine."

Ruan Qiuchi forgot how she explained to the school, she came to the mortuary like a walking dead, and Ruan Qiuchi suddenly didn't dare to go there.

The clothes on the obviously rotten corpse were beyond recognition. Besides, she didn't know what clothes Lin Mu was wearing to leave that day, but she could tell it with her hands. Ruan Qiuchi suddenly laughed, Lin Mu's fingers would not be so short.

"It's not her." Ruan Qiuchi said firmly.

Song Yao: "It's fine if you don't, you asked me to inform you of any news about this before, I thought..."

She stopped talking. From a friend's point of view, she would rather Ruan Qiuchi find Lin Mu sooner. Whether it is a living person or a corpse, they live with high tension every day than they are now, and their hearts suffer various blows, but they have never found any Leads are better.

Ruan Qiuchi closed his eyes and opened them again: "Please continue to pay attention to these news in the future. Whether it is good or bad, I will find her. I am ready to resign."

Song Yao wanted to persuade her, but finally said: "I will continue to pay attention."

Later, through the hard work of the police, the case of the discovery of the female corpse on the top of Qishan Mountain was quickly investigated and the truth came to light.

"After investigation, the deceased was a 22-year-old rural woman who was said to have run off with a wild man. However, she did not come to the city, but was brutally killed by her husband and then dumped on the top of the mountain."

Lin Mu didn't know how Ruan Qiuchi survived that period of time. The complex emotions of disappointment and sadness were almost impossible for her to imagine, let alone empathize with.

The vision in front of him suddenly became blurred, Lin Mu turned around in embarrassment and pulled out a tissue, pretending to cough.

Ruan Qiuchi asked, "Are you okay?"

Lin Mu shook his head: "It's okay."

Ruan Qiuchi said: "Those things happened a long time ago, you don't need to care about them."

She felt so uncomfortable just by imagining it, not to mention that Ruan Qiuchi experienced it personally.

"Ah Ruan, I want to stay." Lin Mu expressed his thoughts without any hesitation.

They have missed each other for 18 years, and she must accompany Ruan Qiuchi well.

Ruan Qiuchi's eyes lit up, but his expression remained calm: "Yes."

Lin Mu moved again, and Ruan Qiuchi saw that the kitchen hadn't even been turned on.

Ruan Qiuchi: "In the future, you must eat on time, otherwise you will easily get stomach problems."

Lin Mu: "Yes."

After Lin Mu moved here, he didn't even take out his clothes and put them in the closet. It was very convenient to tidy up, and he could get it done in three steps.

Ruan Qiuchi stopped her suddenly: "Why don't we just leave it like this, and don't move anything."

Lin Mu was confused: "Huh? I want to move there."

Ruan Qiuchi said softly: "If one day we quarrel again, you must come here."

Don't go anywhere else.

Lin Mu opened her mouth. She really wanted to say that they would not quarrel anymore, but she also understood Ruan Qiuchi's intentions. She had nowhere to go now, and Ruan Qiuchi wanted to give her a way out.

She agreed.

"I won't let you find me."

Lin Mu thought for a while: "Let's rent out the house, otherwise a lot of money will be wasted."

Ruan Qiuchi smiled lightly: "It's up to you."

Lin Mu found a sense of the past.

She asked, "Are you still insomnia?"

Ruan Qiuchi looked away: "Fortunately, it's just that I will suffer from insomnia for a while."

"That's good." It's a pity that I can't rub the bed, Lin Mu thought in frustration, Ruan Qiuchi saw her expression, and didn't express any opinion.

The two moves were just to move the suitcase to one place, which was very convenient. After moving back, Lin Mu said, "I'm going out in the afternoon."

Ruan Qiuchi: "Where are you going?"

Lin Mu said: "Mr. Han said that the studio is going to be on holiday, please let us have a buffet together."

Ruan Qiuchi didn't speak, but Lin Mu realized that Ruan Qiuchi and Han Yushu had a very good relationship, how could he not know Han Yushu's character?

She remembered that the last time Ruan Qiuchi invited Han Yushu to dinner, Han Yushu had said that she was too lazy to go out.

Lin Mu decided to tell the truth, and said frankly, "I have an appointment with Song Yao this afternoon, and I want to ask her something."

Ruan Qiuchi was stunned: "Then come back early."

In the cafe box.

Lin Mu was dressed very formally today, and he almost put on Ruan Qiuchi's clothes. When he saw Song Yao, he stood up immediately: "Director Song."

She didn't know how to address it, so she simply called Song Yao's position directly.

Song Yao smiled and said, "I'm older than you and Qiu Chi, just call me Sister Song."

Lin Mu changed his words: "Sister Song."

Song Yao: "Yesterday you said you wanted to ask me something?"

Lin Mu said in a deep voice, "Yes, I want to ask about Ah Ruan."

Song Yao: "Then why don't you ask her directly?"

Lin Mu smiled helplessly: "She will definitely beautify the facts, but I want to hear the most truthful."

Song Yao was a little surprised and said, "Then what do you want to ask? I will try my best to answer you."

Lin Mu had already made a list before she came. She had many questions to ask, but it was inconvenient to bring them out. She went through the questions in her mind and asked, "When did you meet?"

Song Yao recalled: "Qiu Chi and I met after my husband disappeared, in 2004, when the news revealed that a female college student was kidnapped and sold to the mountainous area, we met in the mountainous area, and she was not in good health at that time. Well, he's not as tall as he is now, he's a thin and small one, I heard he's dropped out of school."

Lin Mu rubbed her eyes, and it was exactly what she thought, Ruan Qiuchi and Song Yao met because they were looking for someone, but...

In the past, Ruan Qiuchi was soft, but now Ruan Qiuchi is tall and thin. She couldn't imagine Ruan Qiuchi's thin and small appearance.

"Was Ah Ruan not in good health at that time?" Lin Mu found himself talking nonsense after asking.

"My lover disappeared for no apparent reason. I can't find any news. The media and the police will pay attention, but they won't always pay attention. It can only become an unsolved case. No one can recover unless it is a body made of iron." Song Yao pointed out.

Lin Mu was a little embarrassed, she had never experienced the feeling of getting thinner and thinner, she opened her mouth, not knowing where to ask.

Song Yao sorted out her thoughts: "Actually, there's nothing to say. It's just that she wanted to find you, but she couldn't find you. After aimlessly searching for nothing, it turned into a hopeless waiting."

"During this period, your parents and the society put a lot of pressure on her. Your parents think that your disappearance is her problem. She can't even announce that you are her girlfriend. It can only be said that the most important girlfriend is missing. Besides, A person who disappears out of thin air may be kidnapped, killed, pyramid schemed, or trafficked to the mountains..."

Lin Mu clenched her fists tightly, her nails pressed against her palms, and sank into her flesh. She didn't feel much pain, but felt a suffocating breath in her chest, which was about to explode at any moment.

The most ridiculous thing is that no matter how hard Ruan Qiuchi tries to find her, it is impossible to find her, because she does not exist in this world at all.

"In the beginning, she was just a student with few methods and channels, so she could only search blindly. Later, she went back to school and started working. I thought she had given up, but she resigned later, but she is not as good as before. Blind, that's all I can say."

Lin Mu came back to her senses and let go of her hand, feeling pain in her palm, her face was a little pale.

"Is there any major problem with Ah Ruan's body?"

Song Yao: "As far as I know, there should be no major problems. What else do you want to ask?"

Lin Mu smiled wryly: "Before you came, did she tell you not to tell me?"

Song Yao's face was a little embarrassed: "Lin Mu, I have my own life. At that time, Nian Nian was still young. After I found my husband, I didn't look for it anymore. What I know is really limited."

Lin Mu shook his head: "Thank you."

Lin Mu went to the bathroom in despair, only to realize that her eyes were completely red. She lowered her head and patted her face with cold water, only to find that the water had soaked into the crescent-shaped wound on her hand...

When Lin Mu came out, there was no blood on his face.

Song Yao: "I'll take you back."

Lin Mu: "It's okay, I'll just walk back."

Song Yao sent a message to Ruan Qiuchi: "I said what you said, and I didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, but she is not in good condition, you come to pick her up."

Before Lin Mu came, she wore thinner clothes in order to look more stable. When the cold wind blew, she felt that her hands were numb, and she walked aimlessly on the sidewalk.

"Td! Don't you have eyes when you walk?"

A tram passed her by.

Lin Mu sneezed and stood by the side of the road, not daring to move any more. She was afraid that something would happen to her, and Ruan Qiuchi would feel uncomfortable. She wanted to be well.

She took out her mobile phone and called Ruan Qiuchi tremblingly: "Ah Ruan, come to me."

"I'm sure I'll find it this time. I'm here..." Lin Mu looked up and looked around, "This is the No. 12 bus stop, next to the Bank of Communications."

Lin Mu stood there waiting, and after a while, she saw Ruan Qiuchi, and she said, "I said you will definitely find me this time."

Ruan Qiuchi said hoarsely: "Let's go home."

Lin Mu: "Yes."

Lin Mu was sick and her mind was dizzy. When she woke up, the wound on her hand had been treated. She turned her head and looked around: "Ah Ruan?"

Ruan Qiuchi said: "You caught a cold yesterday, but luckily it's not a big problem, don't wear so little next time, these two days are the coldest time."

Lin Mu found that her clothes had changed, and nodded with red cheeks: "I won't do it next time."

Ruan Qiuchi smiled: "Get up and eat."

Lin Mu thought for a while: "Ah Ruan, come here."

When Ruan Qiuchi walked over, Lin Mu suddenly reached out and hugged her, saying, "I won't disappear again."

If she disappears again, treat her as dead, don't look for her, and don't wait for her.

Ruan Qiuchi closed his eyes: "I know."

Near the end of the year, just before New Year's Eve, Han Yushu announced that the studio would be closed for a month, and Lin Mu could only practice painting at home. Han Yushu pulled her into the group, and there were more than ten people in the group.

Han Yushu: "If you don't understand, just ask them. They are all brothers and sisters from the previous studio."

Lin Mu: "Yes."

Lin Mu said hello in the group. She was still in the stage of drawing apples, but the group was already filled with all kinds of big touches. Lin Mu was a little panicked, not knowing when he would be like them.

After painting for a whole day of daily practice, Lin Mu stood up to clean up. Hand-painting is troublesome, and it is easy to get pencil dust all over the floor. She will definitely switch to painting in the future, but the feel is different.

Ruan Qiuchi: "Let's go out for a while."

Lin Mu asked, "Where are you going?"

Ruan Qiuchi: "Go to school, and then go to the supermarket to buy New Year's goods. The New Year is coming."

Lin Mu rubbed his sore and swollen arms, and wanted to take a vacation for himself, the Chinese New Year was coming soon.

They came to the school where they stayed for three years together, and Lin Mu remembered that she violated various disciplines in order to repeat a grade, and she was a bad student in the eyes of the teachers.

Lin Mu: "Is Teacher Liu still teaching now?"

Ruan Qiuchi: "He has retired a long time ago."

Lin Mu: "I still remember he has a nickname."

Ruan Qiuchi: "Liu Sanfat."

Lin Mu laughed: "Yes."

They seem to have returned to their school days.

Ruan Qiuchi introduced to Lin Mu: "There is an underground passage built here, the school gate is still here, and two new dormitory buildings have been built behind."

Lin Mu looked up and scanned: "You can still see the outline from before."

Ruan Qiuchi said, "Next time we will go to college."

Lin Mu responded, "It smells so good."

Ruan Qiuchi smiled and said, "It's roasted sweet potatoes."

Eating roasted sweet potatoes in winter is the best match. Ruan Qiuchi bought two roasted sweet potatoes. Lin Mu held them, his palms were warm, and he couldn't bear to eat them. They walked side by side to the door of the teaching building without knowing it.

"Ruan Qiuchi?"

Lin Mu looked back first, it was a woman who looked familiar but couldn't remember, after all, the changes in 18 years were too great, and the woman was accompanied by a tall and strong boy who looked like twelve or thirteen years old.

Ruan Qiuchi smiled lightly and said, "Cheng Jin."

Lin Mu understood that Ruan Qiuchi told her on purpose, it turned out to be Cheng Jin, she almost didn't recognize it, the change was bigger than Cheng Wan.

Cheng Jin was surprised and said: "It's really you, why do you come to school at this hour? The school has long been on holiday, and there are not many people now."

Ruan Qiuchi said, "Come and take a look."

Cheng Jin: "I went back to my hometown during the Chinese New Year. I brought my son over to see his alma mater. I didn't expect to meet you. Shall we go have dinner together later?"

Ruan Qiuchi: "No, thank you."

Cheng Jin: "I heard that you are free to write a book now, unlike us, who work from [-] to [-], and can only barely make hundreds of thousands of annual salary through hard work."

Ruan Qiuchi didn't answer: "Write whatever you want."

Lin Mu watched the two of them being polite to each other from the side, and secretly complained in his heart, Cheng Jin was still the same as before, he liked to show off inside and outside the talk.

"Come on, Zixuan, call me Auntie." Cheng Jin looked up at Lin Mu, "This one is called Sister."

The boy awkwardly called Auntie and Sister, Cheng Jin seemed to remember, pointed at Lin Mu and asked, "Qiu Chi, is this your sister?"

Ruan Qiuchi hasn't answered yet.

Lin Mu answered again successfully: "I am Ah Ruan's girlfriend."
