Pandora's Box

I sat stiffly for a long time, my limbs seemed to be unable to move, but I kept shivering.

During the period of recovery, many strange images flashed back in my mind.I thought it was just a nightmare made out of nothing, or a hallucination.

Now I understand that it wasn't.

Those fragments are spliced ​​together, so real and clear.

That is my lost memory.

The overcast light made the room dark and cold, and the distorted and eerie shadows cast by the shelves made the place look like some kind of monster's lair.

In this dark and damp, I slowly remembered more and more things about the past.

Like a group of thin black snakes, they scrambled into my body one after another silently.

My back was covered with goosebumps.

All of a sudden, everything made sense.Everything has found its reason.

Lu Feng's alienation and vigilance; Zhuo Wenyang's back and forth, secretive; and Cheng Yichen's inexplicable, almost flattering concern and enthusiasm for me.

Their attitudes vary, but the reasons are the same.

They are all afraid of me.

They are afraid that one day I will remember what they have done to me.

Sitting in the darkened room with no lights on, I gradually burst out laughing.

I changed my clothes and left the apartment.

I don't know where I want to go, where I should go.But I knew I couldn't stay in this space any longer.

Every corner of it made my hairs stand on end with suffocation, and my teeth chattered.

I gritted my teeth and walked briskly on the street for a long time. I didn't know how far I had gone. I just felt that the sky was gradually getting dark, and I was exhausted from walking, and the soles of my feet hurt, so I stopped a taxi. .

The driver asked me where I was going, and I leaned on the back seat and replied wearily: "Drive as you please, as far as you can."

Probably because he had seen too many half-dead people like me, the driver didn't make a fuss, and only asked with concern in a clear tone: "Young man, have you encountered trouble?"

"..."

I closed my eyes and didn't speak, and he wisely stopped asking, and said after a while: "Don't be too sad, as time goes on, it will always be better in the future."

I couldn't help but smile quietly when I heard this.

It won't.

It will only be uglier, nastier and more chaotic in the future.

The phone rang, I took it out and took a look, it was a message from Cheng Yichen.

"Xiao Jing, you didn't rest at home, where did you go? Are you coming back for dinner at night?"

I don't know if it's because of motion sickness, I feel a little nauseous.In order not to vomit in the car, I had to close my eyes again.

When I opened my eyes again, I realized that the scenery outside the car window seemed familiar.

The driver probably didn't dare to really drive too far, so he could only painstakingly go around the city center again and again, which was also difficult for him.

I silently looked out for a while and said, "Stop here."

The driver stopped the car immediately, and said to cheer me up, "Okay, have a few drinks here, and everything will be over."

There are indeed many bars on this road, including narcissim.

I walked from house to house along the street, and finally stopped at the gate of narcissim.I put my hands in my pockets and looked at the door.

Behind this door is the place where I saw Zhuo Wenyang's face clearly for the first time.

In fact, I have been at the same table with him in high school, but this is the beginning of my acquaintance with him.It was also the beginning of my deepest pain.

The entire memory from that moment was erased by myself who was in a car accident last time.

At that time, I tried my best to forget this person, forget everything related to him, and forget that I had been humble, pious and passionately admiring him in those few years, just like a mermaid living in the sea chasing after the sea. light the same.

That kind of love without self-knowledge is too stupid.

So what I got in the end was naturally not the prince's favor, but a slap in the face from him.

He tortured me, humiliated me, spurned me.He called me a cheap (harmonious) person.

It was the voice of his heart.

He saw the video of Cheng Yichen forcing me with his own eyes, but he couldn't admit that his great and upright father, who is like an idol in life, has something to do with filth, so he chose to pour all the filth on me.

Of course this is normal.In his eyes, I am low enough anyway, what difference does it make if there is more filth on the mud?

I thought about it and smiled again.

From a bystander's point of view, it's really funny.

These three people under the same roof have all done the same thing to me.It was as if I were the trash can shared by the family.

And no one would have imagined that one day this trash can would be washed clean by relatives and friends, dressed up as a decent vessel, and delivered to them, leaving them at a loss.

In order to whitewash the peace, they could only forcefully use this trash can to eat as if nothing had happened, and they had to eat with sincerity and praise.

Isn't this a Chaplin-style comedy scene?

In the past few years when I lost my memory, these sanctimonious perpetrators surrounded me, and they worked together to stage a joyful drama with inner drama.

They are guilty, they are afraid, they are tacit, and they can't sleep at night.And only I was immersed in the touch and happiness from the beginning to the end.

Just looking back and savoring those details makes people overjoyed.

I laughed for a while, calmed down, and stretched out my hand to push open the door of the bar, just like returning to the original starting point.

Narcissim is already very lively, full of people.

As long as you have a certain amount of capital, no matter money or beauty, you can find your own happiness here, everything is clearly marked, money is equal to goods, nothing will let you down and deceive you.Who wouldn't love such a fair place?

No wonder I yearned for this place very much when I was young, and I was obsessed with it. It turns out that I found the true meaning of life early on.

I quietly looked at the happy people here, and then saw the man with a glance.

Although I had already thrown away the business card he gave me the last time we met, I still remember his unfathomable insider attitude clearly.

As if he had sensed something, his eyes fell on my face accurately.

He then smiled and raised his glass to me again.

"I didn't expect to see you here again," he said with a warm smile. "If you're interested, why don't you call me?"

I said, "I'm not interested in you."

He didn't think he was disobedient and smiled again: "You, you are still so prickly."

"You don't have to be like this all the time, pretending to be familiar with me before," I said, "In my impression, we have nothing to do with each other."

He put down his glass and looked at me: "Do you remember?"

I was noncommittal and sat down in front of him.

He asked, "How much do you remember about the past?"

I asked flatly, "Does it have something to do with you?"

"It has nothing to do with me," he said with a smile, "I just know what you have suffered, and I simply care and sympathize with you. If you remember, you should know that I once loved you. This concern is understandable Bar?"

I laughed.I was actually quite attractive back then.However, it is more appropriate to replace "admiration" with "saliva (harmonious)".

At that time, I was a wild and fragile prey to many people, including Lu Feng.

"I know, you don't trust me very much, and you don't like me," he smiled affectionately, "but an enemy's enemy is a friend, isn't it?"

I looked at him and he said again, "You desperately need an ally like me right now because no one else is going to be on your side, right?"

I had already thought about this question when I walked out of that apartment.

It is impossible for Ke Luo to stand against Lufeng.He could even swallow his bitterness and resentment for so many years without saying a word, and he was willing to follow this father without any name or title, and he worked hard without complaint.How could it be shaken by an outsider.

As for LEE's choice, there is no suspense, he has always been a man who knows current affairs.Even my dad and Cheng Yichen have far more affection for Cheng Yichen than I do.

At one time, I mistakenly thought that my surroundings were very lively, with relatives, friends, and brothers.And once I choose to be awake, everything will be gone in an instant, and I will be left alone.

I said, "Why do you think I must need you as an ally?"

He smiled: "Why, don't you want to take revenge? With your own strength, is it possible to deal with Lu Feng?"

He looked at my expression, as if he saw something strange, and chuckled lightly, "Could it be that you don't intend to take revenge on him? I'm sorry, sorry, I'm a small person. I thought that ordinary people would not be able to swallow this breath. I didn't expect you to be an ordinary person."

"..."

I felt those thin black snakes writhing viciously in my body again.

"You don't want to just swallow your anger and run away, do you?" He shook his head, "You are too cowardly. No wonder they all spoil you, because there is no need to pay any price anyway."

I stood up: "If you want to say that, then we have nothing to talk about, so leave."

He immediately grabbed my arm and tried to dissuade me kindly: "Hey, don't get angry, I just said a few truths. Why are you so excited?"

I pulled my arm back and said, "I'm not excited. I just think you're positioning yourself very incorrectly."

"Oh?"

"If you want me to seek revenge from Lu Feng, then you should beg me and coax me, not this attitude." I patted him on the shoulder with my backhand, "Mr. Sun, did you make a mistake? How come no one else is on my side?"

He looked at me.

"There are a lot of people who want to fight against Lu Feng, aren't they?" I said with a smile, "And how many of them can get close to Lu Feng like me?"

"..."

"So it's not I who need you, it's you who need me."

He looked at me for a while, then smiled again: "Very good, very good, I really need you."

He added: "I was worried that you would be too impulsive and unable to hold your breath, and you would not be able to accomplish anything. Now it seems that there is no need, you are so smart."

I watched him silently, and he smiled: "I have the ability to help you, and I have the sincerity to serve you. You can trust me, after all, our goals are the same."
