Pandora's Box

When I arrived in T City, I ran all the way, and when the car finally stopped, I became more and more depressed.

This is not the kind of high-end community. Although the cleanliness and norms are passable, there is no swimming pool, no big lawn, no clubhouse, and no invincible sea view.A glance in the garage shows that most of the cars parked are under 20.

This uncle who is about to help take care of me doesn't look rich, a typical working class, he must be much poorer than my dad.

I felt a little guilty in my heart.Feel sorry for me, shouldn't I be placed in a better place, like Uncle LEE's.

Living under the hedge of others is to live a miserable life, but on this condition, can I still have a good meal in the future?

I carried this depressed mood all the way, until Cheng Yichen stepped forward and rang the doorbell.

The door opened almost immediately, as if it had been waiting for a long time.

The man who came out to greet us looked like he was in his 30s, tall and thin, with a handsome face, a pair of dark eyes, and a straight nose bridge.

I had a face-to-face meeting with him and couldn't help being stunned.

how to say.

To say "familiar", this is a bit like an overly old-fashioned pick-up line.But he did strike me as déjà vu.

Very, very familiar, flashbacks that are about to come out, but I can't tell where I saw it.

We both stared at each other without moving for a moment.

My dad pushed me: "It's Uncle Chen."

So this should be Cheng Yichen.In fact, he should be in his forties, and his appearance is quite young for his age.

I smiled: "Hello."

Cheng Yichen and I looked at each other, eyes wide open, as if a thunderbolt had struck him head-on,

This was a little embarrassing, so I had no choice but to smile and say, "I'm Lin Jing."

He was still staring at me motionless.

It was the first time I vividly saw the blood on a person's face fade away in a few seconds, as if the blood was being emptied in an instant.

This reaction was so strange that it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was seeing a ghost in daylight.

I was baffled and couldn't help touching my face.

I'm not bad-looking, although I've gotten a little tan recently, but I'm not so ugly that it's scary.

The two people in the back also noticed this embarrassing strangeness, Cheng Yichen asked: "Brother, what's the matter, are you uncomfortable?"

Cheng Yichen was stiff, and after a while he said with trembling lips: "It's nothing, I might be a little dizzy..."

He looked really, really pale.

Cheng Yichen became anxious all of a sudden, and said, "Did you get up too fast? You have been in poor health, hurry up and rest!"

My dad also echoed: "Yes, we specially brought you some supplements for your body this time, wait until you take them out, and you can boil them to eat at night, but don't let them get moldy."

I followed them through the door, instinctively looking around.

Although it is not luxurious, the room is still warm and tidy, with a simple and clear aesthetic feeling, which makes people feel relieved.

Besides Cheng Yichen, the owner of the house has another very tall man.

I exchanged glances with him, he was as vicious as an eagle.

I couldn't help but look at him two more times, three times.

"..."

When I saw the fifth eye, I suddenly remembered, my God, I have seen this person before!

He is... he is, a big mess!

My heart skipped a beat.

This is fucking Lu Feng!

I went to Nangao in high school, but I spent more than half of my time hanging out on the fringes of the sensual circle of celebrities, and I was keenly aware of various anecdotes about Lu Feng.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a tyrant in T City, paranoid, cruel, ruthless, and extremely powerful.Gossip about him can feed a lot of street literature.

To put it aesthetically, he is like a fire-breathing dragon in a fantasy story, spreading his wings to cover the sky and covering the sun, and slamming down with one bite.

Roughly speaking, his abnormal index is directly proportional to his rich index.

Then he seems to be the richest man in T City, right?

I don't know why this prehistoric behemoth appeared in this dilapidated neighborhood, with pajamas and slippers, a homely look.

But all I can say is that I want to move out of here immediately.

Ahhhhhh what is this called!

Imagine having a monster in the house that can run amok at any time!

However, apart from the cries of Monk in the depths of my soul, the others seemed to be very calm about Lu Feng's existence. My dad even asked me to say hello: "Xiao Jing, my name is Uncle Lu."

"...==?"

I? ? ?

How could this be a relationship?

The adults sat down and drank tea and greeted each other, and they looked happy and harmonious. Only I couldn't calm down for a long time, and I only hung half of my butt on the edge of the sofa.

I pondered for a while, the sense of familiarity was still lingering, but I still couldn't remember where I met Cheng Yichen.

So I interjected, "Uncle Chen, I think you look familiar. Have we met before?"

Hearing this, Cheng Yichen turned his head and looked at me without answering. He looked a little sad, but he was quiet and calm, as if his soul had been emptied.

My dad said: "How is it possible!"

"It's hard to say. I have also stayed in T City for a few years, so I might have encountered it."

"T City is so big, how could it be such a coincidence. Besides, you young people don't even remember, so do you expect your Uncle Chen to remember?"

I said: "But I lost my memory in a car accident. I don't remember some things. Maybe Uncle Chen still remembers?"

There was a moment of silence in the room.

My dad and the others were a little embarrassed, while Cheng Yichen was a little dazed.

"A car accident? When did it happen? Where did you get hurt?"

My dad whispered: "Two years ago... Well, speaking of this matter..."

Seeing my dad's embarrassing appearance of telling a long story and not knowing where to start in front of me, I stood up wisely: "Which room is my room? I'll put my luggage away."

Cheng Yichen just woke up like a dream, immediately stood up, came to pick up my suitcase: "Look at me, I forgot."

He led me to my bedroom, which was on the other side of the living room.

Pushing the door open, you will be greeted with a clean and fresh smell.

The walls were freshly painted in a pale blue hue, and the blackout curtains drawn on either side of the floor-to-ceiling windows were the color of the blue sky.

There is a large one-shaped desk near the window, and a towering handmade bookcase next to it, using different levels of sea blue. The beige quilt is neatly spread on the bed, and a corner is lifted to reveal the white and fluffy pillows. Blowing open the snow-white window screen is like a white edge on the waves.

Everything has a brand new, sun-baked smell, nice and warm.Let this winter feel like an evening by the seaside in summer.

For some reason, I stood here in a daze for a while.

Hearing Cheng Yichen call me: "Xiao Jing?" I came back to my senses: "Oh..."

He seemed to be watching me carefully: "Are you tired?"

"Well, I want to take a break." I want to avoid the conversation of adults and give them a little space to talk about topics that a child like me doesn't want to hear.

In addition, I didn't sleep well a few days ago, and I was exhausted all the way, so I was really sleepy.

He said, "Then I'll pour you some water, and you can take a nap when you're sleepy."

Cheng Yichen sent a tray with a glass cold jug filled with lemonade and matching hammer-mesh water glasses, and a small piece of lemon cake and a few sliced ​​oranges were placed on a small plate beside it.After placing the tray on the desk, he gently closed the door and left.

I stared at the glass glistening in the sun, and then at the other decorations on the desk.

In addition to the whale-patterned storage rack, there is also a sailing ship model, a starfish-shaped alarm clock, and a dark blue long-arm folding eye protection lamp.

In addition to these childish arrangements, there is a notebook computer that is not childish at all, and the texture looks very powerful.

Glancing at it, it turned out to be Alienware, or Area-51M?I quickly turned it on to check, i9-10900k? GeForce RTX 2080? 64GB?

I couldn't help being stunned. Is this specially prepared to meet me?

To be honest, this configuration, even for young people who are keen on e-sports, has overflowing performance.

I probably figured out the mentality of the person who arranged this house.

He should have heard that I like the sea, blue, and playing games, so there are these overplayed arrangements.

So my arrival was actually welcomed?

As the sky gradually darkened, I turned on the light, only to find that the ceiling light was shaped like a crescent moon. In this room, it was as if a crescent moon had risen from the sea.

I lay down on the bed with my clothes on, facing the false moon in the sky above, and facing this new and strange everything, I became dazed again.
