Aristocrat Boys School

"Please come in."

Qin Zhao’s voice came, his eyes paused the moment he touched Jian Chi, he turned the back of the chair, and slowly put down the pen held by his fingertips, “If you are sick, sit on the bed and describe your illness, if it’s not for this, please Take the door and go out."

An attitude that could be called repulsive did not stop Jian Chi from walking straight over. The smile on Qin Zhao's mouth was reduced and replaced by a cold and mixed vigilance. He stared at Jian Chi who was getting closer, "I say you Don't you understand?"

"I know you're here."

A writing desk was separated, Jian Chi stopped, looked deeply and quietly into Qin Zhao's eyes through the lens, "I don't know what to call you, but I need to see you now, don't be like last time Create a dream, I want to talk to you, face to face."

long silence.

Qin Zhao blinked his phoenix eyes slowly, as if hearing some joke, absurd and incomprehensible, accompanied by a faint sullen feeling as if he was being teased, he just uttered a word: "You..."

"Qin Zhao."

Jian Chi called out his name again and again, and for a moment, her heartbeat soared to an unprecedented speed.He's not sure, he's just betting on the possibility, "Come with me, can you?"

There seemed to be a subtle difference in the silence this time. Jian Chi pursed his lips tightly, refusing to let go of any changes on Qin Zhao's face. Watching the absurdity in his eyes gradually being replaced by deeper banter, he raised his hand to remove it. Gold-rimmed glasses, the phoenix eyes showing the whole picture are slightly raised, like the lips opening and closing, the voice is sweet and magnetic: "Of course, how could I refuse your request?"

Clearly separated by a certain distance, Jian Chi's ears suddenly went numb for a while.

The previous two meetings were too quick and sudden, and he didn't make any preparations, but this time he finally calmed down and pushed his reason to a high ground.The voice of 'Qin Zhao' in front of him had a trace of ethereal emptiness, as if it didn't come from the opening and closing mouth, but came from another strange place far away.

Qin Zhao covered up this with a deliberately low tone, until now, Jian Chi finally noticed something unusual.

With a chill in his heart, Jian Chi asked in as calm a voice as possible: "Who are you?"

It sounded like a meaningless or even ridiculous question. Qin Zhao leaned back in his chair relaxedly, and asked leisurely: "Where should I start answering this question? You want to know my name, my identity, and my character." , hobbies, or something else?"

"Name and identity."

Qin Zhao took the pen on the table, shook it left and right in front of Jian Chi's eyes, and said in a low voice, "Don't be too greedy."

Jian Chi was not in the mood to joke with him, leaving behind a more important choice: "Identity."

"I think you should have guessed this point," Qin Zhao smiled, "I am not from your world."

Even though he had already guessed and built countless layers of defense towers in his heart before coming here, Jian Chi was still in the dark for a while without any precautions. After a long time, the dizziness gradually faded away.

He recovered his voice with a slightly shifted tone, and said with difficulty: "Did this world really come from a book like that dream?"

"Yes and no."

Qin Zhao restrained his smile, lowered his phoenix eyes, and replied in a neutral tone: "The source of the world is a book, but you live in a complete world."

Jian Chi couldn't understand, so she couldn't help supporting the table, looked into Qin Zhao's unfathomable eyes from a close distance, and asked the question that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time: "Is this world real? Am I real?"

"It depends on how you define 'reality'. If you refer to the soul, body, and all creatures, everything in this world is real. They have individual thinking and are not controlled by any power. If you define reality as destiny, this There is no absolute truth in the world."

Qin Zhao stopped turning the pen, and met Jian Chi's inquiry contentedly. Even though he sat on the chair and raised his head, he seemed to pinch the back of Jian Chi's neck from top to bottom, and smiled slowly.

"What is the connection between the book and the world?" Jian Chi asked.

"That's easy to explain."

Qin Zhao took a piece of paper from the table, pulled off the cap of the pen, drew one after another scattered circles in the blank space, and lightly tapped the middle one with the tip of the pen, "This is the world you live in, and its source comes from a This book slowly expands from a plane to a complete world. The book may describe the stories of ten people, but this world can contain one billion people. The book is a part of this world. It is never the leading one, but a leading line .”

Jian Chi stared at that circle in rapt attention, then swiped the tip of the pen abruptly, and came to another circle, and then Qin Zhao's magnetic voice sounded: "This is the second world, its source can be a book, a movie, Even in one sentence, its existence cannot be precisely defined, but it is indeed a complete world, with a complete system society, and there is no primary or secondary relationship between the source and the world, they are a symbiosis, so to speak, can be Understand?"

After staring at the circle for a long time, several double images appeared in the circle in front of her. Jian Chi raised her sour eyes, and her heartbeat rang in her ears, "I seem to understand."

"I said you are a smart person." Qin Zhao narrowed his eyes and smiled like a fox. "In this case, can you guess why I came here for you?"

He didn't say 'come here' but 'come for you'.

Jian Chi's guess was correct, he himself was the variable, the butterfly that flapped its wings.

"I am not the original Jane Chi," Jane Chi said firmly, "I am not the Jane Chi of this world, I have always been me."

"Your existence has disturbed the source of the world. In fact, this is a major mistake."

Qin Zhao did not refute, and drew a crying face and a smiling face in the two circles pointed at just now, and tapped the smiling face, "This is you."

Jane frowned puzzledly.

Then came the crying face, "This is the original 'Jane Chi'."

Qin Zhao said slowly: "When you came to your respective worlds, there were unprecedented mistakes in the two worlds, so your souls were put into the wrong container, and you changed from a smiling face to a crying face. "Jane Chi" changed from a crying face to a smiling face that should be yours."

Two worlds, two him—no, not two him, but two people who are also called 'Jian Chi' and have completely different life trajectories.

Nothing could make Jian Chi understand everything that happened so far better than this explanation.The world is real, and so is he. It was just an accident. He exchanged lives with "Jane Chi" who should have come here. people.

It is not the plot that drives the world, but the choices of each of them drives the plot.

"The original Jian Chi," Jian Chi struggled to say the same name as himself, "how is he doing there?"

"Very good," Qin Zhao said, "He is living a very good life, living in a place other than the source of the world, with an ordinary family, friends and lovers, and an ordinary him. That was originally your life."

Jian Chi was silent for a while, her palms resting on the table slightly closed, even she couldn't tell what she thought in the silence, and said for a while, "I see."

"Jian Chi, you don't need to panic about this and make changes," Qin Zhao's voice seemed to come from afar, deep and powerful, "According to the regulations, I can't reveal this to you, but this mistake made you a victim , you have the right to know the secret."

The pen on his lips brought Jian Chi back to his senses, Qin Zhao's face was close to him at some point, with a deep smile, he whispered: "Remember to keep it a secret for me."

Jian Chi straightened her stiff back, and the cold metal texture on her lips also parted. She looked at Qin Zhao deeply, "What about you? You haven't answered my question at the beginning, who are you?"

"You just need to know that I come from a more advanced world, where we found out the secret of the world, or the universe."

Qin Zhao raised the corners of his lips, and his voice floated slowly along the air, as if whispering ambiguously in Jian Chi's ear.

"You still have a lot of opportunities to get to know me slowly. Isn't it more interesting to discover it by yourself than to let me tell you?"

Jian Chi didn't answer. The strange thing is that he didn't question what Qin Zhao said at all. This kind of absurd explanation became less unacceptable after experiencing even more absurd things, and even called it reasonable.

Before Qin Zhao disappeared, he left behind two sentences.

"What you don't know is far more than what you see. The story you think does not necessarily happen. Every choice you make will make the future different. Jane Chi, this is not a book, but your life."

"Also, my name is Qin Chuxu, don't call me wrong next time."

his life.

These words kept ringing in Jian Chi's ears, as if he had lifted the cloud that had accumulated in his heart all this time, and suddenly saw the scenery farther away.

He blindly avoids the plot, trying to bring the story back on track, but in fact there is no so-called right track at all. Whether it is reality or the original book, all development comes from everyone's choice.They are not on a track that is either left or right. That dream and that book have brought him too many unnecessary troubles, and now he finally sees clearly.

Walking down the steps of the teaching building, Jian Chi looked up at the spotless sky. He forgot to ask Qin Chuxu, is the sky in every world the same?Would Jian Chi, who had exchanged lives with him, sometimes stand under this sky and ponder whether this world is real or not?

Jian Chi couldn't deny that she felt a little bit of envy for "Jian Chi" who escaped from the source of the world, very thin and very faint, only when she heard Qin Chuxu's words "That was originally your life", there were ups and downs, Dissipates in an instant.

What didn't happen can only be hypothetical. Jian Chi likes this world and left his mother early. Jian Chengchao, who doesn't care about trivial matters but leaves all his love to him, although he doesn't want to admit it, he does regard Ji Huaisi as a friend, and he has a sense of justice. Protecting one's shortcomings, making a direct statement... Whether this is the world he should have lived in or not, this is the only home he considers.

This was the best sleep Jane Chi had had in the past two months. In her dream, she seemed to see a man with a blurred face walking towards him. She couldn't see the facial features or expression clearly, but Jian Chi somehow believed that he was talking to him. Laugh yourself.

Thanks.He said.

Jian Chi wanted to tell him 'You're welcome', but she didn't understand why the other party wanted to thank him, and why she naturally wanted to answer.Perhaps this is the so-called force majeure, the fate that everyone bears and exists in reality.
