They Regretted it After Their Hearts Turned to Ashes

Ren Chenbai appeared on the crew of "Fire".

He is the provider of documentary materials, and the son of director Gong Hanrou's old friend, and he would also go to the film crew.I just don't know why, this time many people looked at him a little strangely.

The familiar assistant director didn't seem to see him, Chang Jisao immediately lowered his head and turned away when he saw him.Many familiar faces who usually have impressions suddenly regard him as an air that does not exist.

The theater director recognized him, and suddenly changed his expression. He immediately put down the work in hand, and went to take away a few young actors who were playing together and had no shooting tasks not far away.

Zhao Lan hurried over with people, stopped Ren Chenbai, with a bad expression on his face: "What are you going to do again?"

Ren Chenbai stopped and recognized her identity: "Assistant Zhao."

When he went to talk about the crew for Luo Cheng, Ren Chenbai met Zhao Lan in the coffee shop and knew that she was the assistant of director Gong Hanrou.

……

He still remembered that Director Gong said that Zhao Lan was the abducted female college student, who was later rescued with Xiao Zhi and escaped from that devil's den.

After being rescued, Zhao Lan's family stayed with her every step of the way and took care of her. It took more than ten years to finally help her walk out of the shadow of that nightmare.

Ren Chenbai had a good impression of her, he knew that Zhao Lan came to apply for the job as Director Gong's assistant because he decided to face up to the past, and his tone was very gentle: "I haven't been here for a while, I'll come to see Teacher Gong. "

"No need." Zhao Lan frowned, "Mr. Ren, Teacher Gong doesn't want to see you."

She turned her body sideways and motioned for the field manager to come and see her off: "Please go back."

Ren Chenbai was leaning on crutches, and the field manager didn't dare to touch him rashly, but politely stepped forward and waited.

Ren Chenbai felt that something was wrong just now, and stopped her: "Assistant Zhao, did I do something bad?"

Zhao Lan looked at him more and more strangely.

She stared at Ren Chenbai and repeated his words: "Did you do something bad?"

……

Zhao Lan couldn't figure out how someone could be so shameless.

After breaking up in the coffee shop last time, Gong Hanrou immediately started looking for the whereabouts of Huo Miao.

It's actually not difficult at all to match Huo Miao's identity with Luo Chi's - it's just that before this, the crew followed the usual habit of never disturbing the lives of the parties without permission.

When Ren Shuangmei told this story to her old friend, she deliberately concealed Luo Chi's identity and obscured the key clues, because she didn't want Luo Chi to be entangled and disturbed by the past.Of course Gong Hanrou knew this, so she always only listened to stories and never crossed the line to ask questions.

Such tacit respect and protection, but after one of them passed away too hastily, unexpectedly turned into a bystander by accident.

During the conversation in the coffee shop, Gong Hanrou sensed something ominous from Ren Chenbai's words.She asked people to find out that Luo Chi had gone on a cruise—the crew had even made relevant preparations. When Luo Chi came back, they broke the usual rules of documentary filming and forcibly took the person away on the grounds of cooperating with the interview.

……

This is the first time that Gong Hanrou has been filming a documentary for so long, and Gong Hanrou doesn't know how to face her old friend.

"You keep telling the crew that the family treats Huo Miao badly, but you are taking good care of him."

Zhao Lan asked word by word: "You took care of people like this, and then you came to ask us, did you do something bad?"

Only then did Ren Chenbai figure out what she was talking about: "You mean my brother?"

"Is there some misunderstanding? My brother is fine. I'm here for him this time."

Ren Chenbai said dumbly: "Isn't Luo Cheng in the film crew? Although Xiao Zhi has nothing to do with their family, she has been his sister after all, so I'll take a look for him..."

He had just said goodbye to Xiao Zhi when he came, and promised to bring Xiao Zhi a snack made without egg whites.

It was too difficult to buy. He queued in front of the only store for a long time, and his legs were a little numb.

Hearing the murderer's shameless nonsense here, Zhao Lan's expression darkened and she wanted to call out the hostess, but when she saw Ren Chenbai's expression that seemed to be completely honest, she suddenly felt a sense of unreasonable horror.

At this moment, Gong Hanrou's voice came from behind her: "Xiao Lan, go get busy."

Zhao Lan turned around and couldn't help frowning: "Mr. Gong, this person—"

"It's okay." Gong Hanrou said, "We will meet again sooner or later."

The last time Ren Chenbai came to the crew, everyone's emotions hadn't had time to deal with it properly.

Not only Zhao Lan, but even Gong Hanrou couldn't control the strong anger and disgust, and scolded Ren Chenbai on the spot, telling him to get out of his crew.

Gong Hanrou signaled the field manager to prepare the reception room, walked over, and looked at Ren Chenbai.

She looks much older than before, and although she still maintains her usual sharpness and rationality, her eyes are already showing some tired blood: "Since you want to talk, let's talk."

Ren Chenbai wanted to help her, but Gong Hanrou raised his hand to let her go.

Gong Hanrou looked at the person behind Ren Chenbai: "Why isn't your assistant following you?"

Ren Chenbai was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Xun Zhen who was standing behind him with his arms folded.

He looked at Xun Zhen, and suddenly some chaotic images flashed through his mind, causing his temples to throb and throb without warning: "You—"

"It's been changed. Mr. Ren is not in good health recently." Xun Zhen greeted politely, "Director Gong."

Gong Hanrou recognized him. She had made a documentary about the living conditions of mental patients, had dealt with Xun Zhen, and knew the other party's identity.

She greeted Xun Zhen, and looked at Ren Chenbai thoughtfully: "It's okay, come with me."

The headache came and went quickly at that moment, Ren Chenbai stood there in a daze, was patted on the shoulder by Xun Zhen, and then suddenly came back to his senses.

"What's wrong with my brother?" Ren Chenbai frowned, "Why did they say that I didn't take good care of Xiao Zhi and Xiao Zhi was sick?"

At that moment, he seemed to see Luo Zhi's figure lying on the hospital bed. He had never seen that figure so pale and weak, and suddenly felt a deep sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Ren Chenbai stood in the same place, suddenly a little anxious: "I'd better go back and have a look first, just in time to bring him some snacks. He always forgets to eat when he starts painting..."

"Mr. Ren." Xun Zhen interrupted him, "Your brother is fine, he doesn't need your snacks."

Ren Chenbai stopped talking and looked at him dubiously.

Xun Zhen signaled the direction where Gong Hanrou was leaving, and walked over by himself without waiting for him.

... He knew that Ren Chenbai would definitely follow.

After figuring out what the Ming family meant, Xun Zhen tried to induce Ren Chenbai based on the information sent by Ming Lu.

This process was far simpler than he thought—Ren Chenbai didn't even need his persuasion, and almost couldn't wait to fully believe and accept this statement.

The current Ren Chenbai believes that Luo Zhi was formally brought home by his mother after the three-month injury in Wanghai Villa, and completely severed ties with the Luo family.

After that, Luo Zhi lived in the Ren family and lived with them.Later, his mother passed away due to illness, and Ren Chenbai has been taking care of Luo Zhi until now.

Xun Zhen originally wanted to save some face for the Ren family, so he asked him to finish this dream in the ward.It was Ren Chenbai himself who insisted on coming to the set no matter what.

No matter how strict the management is, the production team is still a production team. There are too many people and it is impossible for any news to be concealed.

After today, Xun Zhen has no idea what the heir of the Ren family, who is extremely well-received and the most gentle and gentle-hearted, will become in the eyes of outsiders. .

……

Ren Chenbai followed Gong Hanrou to the reception room.

It's easy to see that this room was originally used to record interview material.After fixing the large potted green plants used as a cover, there is also a camera with a red light flashing.

Sensing that Ren Chenbai's footsteps were hesitant, Gong Hanrou stopped and turned around: "I need interview materials from the relatives of the parties involved, and you came just in time."

Gong Hanrou looked at him: "Is there any inconvenience?"

Hearing Gong Hanrou's "relatives", Ren Chenbai was stunned for a moment, then his expression softened a lot: "No."

"You're right, this part should indeed be recorded." Ren Chenbai smiled, "I've been too busy recently, and it seems that I haven't chatted with my brother for a long time... He doesn't want to talk to me recently, probably because It's the rebellious period, blame me, I should care more about him."

Gong Hanrou sat on the chair not far away.

Leaning on crutches, Ren Chenbai walked to the sofa covered by green plants and sat down, putting the crutches in his hand aside.

He seemed to be waiting for such an opportunity to say these words, so that he could confirm again and drive out the unexplained fear that was extremely cold in his heart.

He was so satisfied with his current life, so satisfied that he felt as if he had had an extremely absurd nightmare that spanned half his life, only now did he wake up, and grasped the fate that was originally within his reach.

To be honest, until now he still feels uneasy all the time—that nightmare was so real, so real that it seemed to be vivid in his mind, but fortunately everything was fake, fortunately he didn't really do it.

Fortunately, he finally woke up, if he was trapped in that nightmare...

No, there is no such possibility.

There is absolutely no such possibility, and he will never be fooled.

Ren Chenbai looked at his hands, and he tried his best to recall the scene he saw before the crew.

—His younger brother is painting in the studio.

The afternoon sun was very good. The figure was sitting in front of the easel, with the paintbrush in his hand concentrating on smearing and outlining the canvas, with a little paint on his cuffs.

He stood at the door and watched for a while before leaving, probably because he lowered his voice very softly, and the people in the room didn't notice it at all, and they were still concentrating on the details of the painting.

……

Xiao Zhi really doesn't like to talk to him recently.

Always burying his head in doing his own thing, and using him as air when walking around the house... But this is not my brother's fault, it's his reason.

He's done some really bad things before.Those things are too much, so that no matter when the old account is turned over, whenever he is neglected, embarrassed by him, and loses his temper because of these things, he deserves it...

Gong Hanrou asked: "Your family adopted him?"

"Yes, ten years ago."

Ren Chenbai nodded, as if he remembered the situation at that time, a short smile flashed across his face: "He made a wish, he wants to be a family with us."

Ren Chenbai said this sentence slowly, he looked at his palm: "My mother brought him home."

"How is he?" Gong Hanrou asked, "How is he doing in your house?"

……

This should count as two questions.

Ren Chenbai separated the two questions, and he couldn't wait to answer the first one: "He is very good."

"Very obedient, very obedient, very sensible." Ren Chenbai said, "Many—"

He seemed to have encountered some obstacles when he said this, and he continued after stumbling: "Many people like him."

Ren Chenbai's fingers clenched unconsciously, then he suddenly shuddered and pressed his broken leg hard, cold sweat broke out in an instant.

"But he is not doing well, because of me, I am sick." Ren Chenbai said, "I can't see others treating him well."

"I always want him to only follow me, always want him to only trust me, I'm sick."

Ren Chenbai seemed eager to prove something frankly with this kind of self-torture, his words suddenly began to lose logic, and he stammered to explain: "I mean, I pretended to be nice to him, but I actually treated him badly secretly. But I Not trying to be mean to him, I'm-"

"You want to control him." Gong Hanrou's voice sounded, "You want him to rely on you to survive."

Her tone was cold, and even the calm and indifference just now was completely gone, only an undisguised mocking chill remained.

Ren Chenbai trembled violently at this sentence, but instead heaved a long sigh of relief and nodded heavily, as if he had finally untied a knot in his heart through this condemnation: "Yes."

"But then I figured it out and reflected on it." Ren Chenbai said, "So I changed it."

Gong Hanrou asked: "Why did you change it?"

"I just suddenly figured it out... He is already my family."

Ren Chenbai twitched the corner of his mouth: "One day I will figure it out, I am so ridiculous, he is my younger brother, can he still run?"

He laughed: "After I figured it out, I corrected myself little by little, but it took me a few years... I still feel uncomfortable when I see someone likes him, but I can bear it."

"We're living very happily now and I'm taking good care of him."

Ren Chenbai smiled and said: "I was very bad before, thanks to my mother and him being willing to tolerate me, I am changing."

Gong Hanrou seemed to be the son of this old friend for the first time.

At one point, she even lost the strength to continue asking questions, and just fell silent in disbelief, looking at the figure muttering incoherently on the sofa.

After a while, Gong Hanrou suddenly asked: "What if he can't be your younger brother?"

When Gong Hanrou asked this sentence, seeing the gloomy, almost instinctive reaction that flashed across Ren Chenbai's face instantly, his heart became infinitely colder.

Ren Chenbai was stunned by this question.

He was stunned for an extraordinarily long time, nervously pressing on his injured leg.He fiddled with the leg, looking like he was going to straighten it or break it.

"If he fails to be your brother, you won't reflect on it, and you won't change."

Gong Hanrou remained silent for a moment, and instead of waiting for him, gave the answer directly: "You will become more and more unscrupulous, more and more aggressive, and more and more crazy—"

"There is no such possibility!" Ren Chenbai suddenly roared, "He is my younger brother!"

Ren Chenbai seemed to want to stand up from the sofa, but fell back down with his broken leg: "He is my younger brother, we are a family! Life is good now, no need for other assumptions!"

Gong Hanrou didn't say any more.

Sitting in the chair, she looked at Ren Chenbai with a suddenly ferocious expression, with increasingly strong disgust and disgust, but also faintly showing some pity.

Ren Chenbai's nerves were pierced by the pity in her eyes, and he came back to his senses suddenly, panting heavily in embarrassment: "Sorry... sorry, Teacher Gong."

"I lost my composure." Ren Chenbai said, "I don't like this assumption very much."

...he dreaded the assumption.

He was so afraid that he couldn't even accept it being put forward as a hypothesis, so afraid that even if he just thought about this possibility for a little bit, he would be swallowed up in an instant by the huge fear that could crush his bones.

"My luck was very good. My mother took him home and gave me the opportunity to be a family with him."

Ren Chenbai struggled to move his body, and struggled to sit firmly on the sofa: "I will cherish this opportunity, and I will treat him..."

His movements suddenly froze together with his voice, his pupils shrank in disbelief, focusing on a figure not far away.

According to Gong Hanrou's instructions, Zhao Lan brought Luo Cheng to the reception room.

... In just a few days, Luo Cheng seemed to have completely changed.

There are makeup artists and assistants on the crew, at least to ensure that her image is not so outrageous at first glance, but as long as you look closely, it is not difficult to see the clues.

Luo Cheng stood in the corner, she gave Ren Chenbai a blank look, and after a long while in a daze, she recognized him: "Brother Chenbai."

"Aren't you going to let me go?" Luo Cheng asked, then shook his head, "You won't let me go."

Luo Cheng looked down at his toes: "How are you going to punish me?"

Ren Chenbai's figure seemed to be frozen on the sofa, staring at her motionlessly, frowning tightly.

"Why me." Ren Chenbai slowly clenched his palms, for some reason, he couldn't finish the question in one breath, "Why should I punish you?"

Luo Cheng's reaction was a bit stronger this time, and he raised his head in a daze, almost looking at him strangely.

……

That sharp headache suddenly exploded in Ren Chenbai's temple again.

"No, there is no need to answer." Ren Chenbai said hastily, "I don't want to know, you—"

He was one step too late.Maybe his head didn't hurt enough, or maybe the sound of a hand reaching into his chest and grabbing his heart, squeezing the blood inside wasn't loud enough, but he still heard Luo Cheng's words clearly.

He heard Luo Cheng's voice: "Second brother died because of me."

... What second brother?

Where did Luo Cheng get his second brother?

Jane Huaiyi?When did Jian Huaiyi die?

Ren Chenbai looked at the ground in panic, and he asked incoherently in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You mean Xiaozhi? Xiaozhi is not your second brother for a long time. He was adopted by my mother ten years ago. He is my younger brother and has nothing to do with you. You can no longer call him second brother. He is my younger brother." .”

Ren Chenbai's speech became more and more urgent: "We have been very happy all these years. My mother left early, but she was also very at ease. Xiao Zhi was at home, and he was still drawing when I left. I agreed to give him Bring some snacks, how can you curse him dead? How dare you-"

His words were abruptly cut off by Luo Cheng's voice. He thought he must be very ferocious now, so ferocious that Luo Cheng had been tortured to the point of numbness, and when he looked at him, he still had obvious fear.

"Brother Chenbai..." Luo Cheng asked him with a trembling voice, "Are you crazy?"

Ren Chenbai had already rushed over from the sofa, and the intense pain that exploded at the broken leg seemed to be blocked by something. He staggered and rushed to Luo Cheng, and was quickly held back by a few field staff.

He didn't have the ability or intention to commit a crime at all, instead, he could barely stand still by relying on those unceremonious hands.Ren Chenbai stared at Luo Cheng, his voice was almost like a furious beast caught in a trap: "I'm not crazy, what I said is true!"

He took out his mobile phone, and wanted to show Luo Cheng the photos he took, how well Xiaozhi had lived in his house these years, how happy he was, how many awards he had won, and how many singles he had released.

Ren Chenbai frantically frantically pressed his phone, staring at the screen, sweating profusely.

His vision began to blur and his hands shook more and more.

...Where did it go?

Obviously it's all in the phone, photos, screenshots, music software specially downloaded for playing songs... He is learning to accept that it is impossible to suppress the flame.

He's learning to accept, he's introspecting...he's still regretting it all the time, if only he had introspected earlier.

If he reflected earlier, his mother would not necessarily have an accident, and his younger brother would not be angry with him.

They will be the most complete family and will be happier than they are now.He will be influenced by such two good people, and he will become a less despicable and selfish monster and demon little by little...

Ren Chenbai suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground. He saw his phone fell far away and hurried to pick it up. Then he saw Xun Zhen appearing in front of him.

"Principal Xun!" Ren Chenbai's eyes lit up suddenly, and he grabbed the other party hastily, "You know these things too, right? I have a younger brother! We have been a family for a long time! You tell them—"

His eyes fell on the injection in Xun Zhen's hand, he trembled violently, and struggled to back away: "What are you going to do?!"

"Mr. Ren." Xun Zhen's voice came to mind, "Is it time to wake up?"

...What should wake up?

Ren Chenbai hugged his head tightly, his chest was like a bellows that kept pulling, he desperately opened his mouth to pant for air, but it seemed that no breath was sucked in.

He might indeed have had another nightmare, in which a group of people inexplicably insisted on proving to him that Luo Zhi did not become his younger brother, and Luo Zhi was already dead.

He clearly saw that shadow painting at home.He was sure that he must have seen it, how could the illusion be so clear?

"...Follow me to look at the sea."

Ren Chenbai tightly gripped Xun Zhen's hand, his excessively exerted fingers had already faintly convulsed: "Go to look at the sea, I'll prove it to you, I brought him some snacks..."

...everything makes perfect sense.

He has double-checked it many times, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Nothing contradicts logic.Everything is logical, and everything is the result of the most natural development. Although he is a bit ordinary, he is living in the most cherished life.

He used to want a lot of things, used to be greedier, more selfish and cold-blooded than now, he was a devil hiding under layers of disguise.If it wasn't for meeting his mother and Luo Zhi, he wouldn't have this qualification——

"Mr. Ren." Xun Zhen asked suddenly, "Why did you say just now that if you reflect on it earlier, your mother will not have any accidents?"

Ren Chenbai suddenly lost in countless thoughts.

Before finishing his final thoughts, he fell heavily from the cracks in those thoughts in an instant, the speed was getting faster and faster, and the limbs and bones under the violent impact instantly exploded with unimaginable pain and numbness, and he couldn't make any sound. He was pulled back to reality.

Ren Chenbai panted in a daze, he realized that he was no longer on the set.

He seemed to have passed out in Gong Hanrou's crew, and now he was carried into an ambulance with restraint belts tied to his body.

Xun Zhen sat at his feet, lowered his head, and asked, "Why did your mother have an accident?"

Ren Chenbai didn't seem to be able to understand these words, he just looked around in a panic, and when he saw the box of snacks, he felt relieved: "Where's Xiaozhi?"

"I'm not going to the hospital, I'm going home." Ren Chenbai moved his throat, "Xiao Zhi is still waiting for me, he hasn't eaten yet."

Xun Zhen didn't want the ambulance to go to the hospital at first.

He gestured to open the door of the rear compartment, and the dazzling sunlight rushed in wrapped in the sea breeze for a moment.

Ren Chenbai was released from those restraints, he almost snatched the crutches and snacks, and rolled out of the car.

The ambulance stopped in front of the garden, not far away was the house where Luo Zhi lived.

Ren Chenbai smiled.

He even managed to tidy up before he limped over and knocked on the door twice.

"Xiao Zhi?" Ren Chenbai said warmly, "I'm back."

Ren Chenbai shook the snack in his hand: "Come out, let's get some air."

No one in the room responded, Ren Chenbai thought that Luo Zhi was probably asleep.

Ren Chenbai took out his mobile phone and wanted to send Luo Zhi a WeChat message, but for some reason, he dragged it back and forth many times, but he couldn't find the dialogue column with Luo Zhi.

There seems to be a lot of problems with his phone, and it's time to send it in for repair.

Ren Chenbai frowned, clicked on the contacts and searched over and over again, and then suddenly remembered that he seemed to have repaired the phone not long ago.

...Why did he go to repair the phone?

Ren Chenbai barely stood still while holding on to the edge of the door.

He tried his best to think for a long time before he realized that it seemed to be because of a starlet named Li Weiming—that damn bastard deleted Luo Zhi's WeChat account while he was not paying attention in order to get revenge on him.

Deleted WeChat, the records cannot be retrieved.He angrily smashed everything in the office that day, and searched all the people who claimed to be able to retrieve the chat records, but there was no result.

He lost Luo Zhi's WeChat.

Why did Li Weiming take revenge on him?

Because they were originally a nest of snakes and rats, Li Weiming didn't expect that he would suddenly bite back... What are they doing together with a nest of snakes and rats?

Ren Chenbai struggled to think about this question, his face finally began to change, and the last smile disappeared without a trace.

...He watched that little star frame Luo Zhi.

How could he watch others frame Luo Zhi? !

Ren Chenbai's throat was choked, his hands were trembling, and he slowly pushed the door open with difficulty, like pushing a wrench to let the guillotine fall over his head.

The room was empty.

That's not a room to live in.

Even if it was cleaned up by its owner when it came back, it is impossible to live in it.

He looked at the large expanse of mold spreading from the window to the wall, and the mold distorted and deformed in his vision, like a ridiculous and weird hallucination.

Ren Chenbai supported the wall and slowly moved in. He touched the mold, and there was a kind of cold dampness on the shady wall, which poured into his body along his hands in an instant.

Why did he want to watch others frame Luo Zhi?

because……

"Chen Bai." He heard his mother's unbelievable voice, "...have you ever thrown a conch?"

Late that night, he was called by his mother to meet alone at Wanghai Villa.

His mother discovered the surveillance he installed in the villa.

Mother deliberately sent Luo Zhi out that day, and wanted to go to the villa to hide some small gifts for Luo Zhi, but she didn't expect to find the surveillance by accident.

My mother checked the surveillance and found out a lot of things, and a lot of his secrets...they had some disputes.

The mother did not tell anyone in the family about the specific condition of the illness. He did not know what illness the mother had, only that the mother was not in good health recently.He watched his mother collapse in pain suddenly, and his mind went blank. When his mother's assistant found out that something was wrong and rushed his mother to the hospital, it was too late...

He stood blankly in the corner of the emergency room.

Luo Zhi came to comfort him without knowing anything, Luo Zhi thought it was just an accident, Luo Zhi didn't know anything at all—why didn't Luo Zhi know anything?

He is a cold-blooded raw monster, the most despicable, selfish, heartless demon who is best at disguising and deceiving, and he will spend the rest of his life in despair to atone for his sins.Why is Luo Zhi still so warm and clean?

……

If it wasn't for Luo Zhi's hidden gifts, would my mother suddenly go to Wanghai Villa and find out about those surveillance cameras?

The thorns full of venom spread and grew from his chest, and he tightly grasped the wound on Luo Zhi's arm. The wound was bitten out by Luo Zhi himself, and blood oozes from his fingers.

He watched Luo Zhi's arm being stimulated by pain, trembling unconsciously in his palm, and a vicious and twisted pleasure finally grew in his heart.

He passed out.

It's been a week since I woke up again.

He didn't remember anything about it at all, except for a cold hatred that was particularly clear.

He thought carefully along the lines of hatred, and asked the elders beside him if Luo Zhi was by his side when his mother passed away.He looked at those people and looked at each other, as if there was something unspeakable to hide but it was hard to say it clearly, and finally someone responded indiscriminately.

...he has the right to live.

Ren Chenbai moved his eyes.

He moved his eyes little by little, looking at Xun Zhen standing in front of him.

The picture of the other party giving him a lure suddenly popped up.He almost couldn't wait to accept the hint given by Xun Zhen, and believed what Xun Zhen said - except for one thing, Xun Zhen couldn't correct him no matter what.

He is only willing to call him "Xiao Zhi."

Why is he called Huomiao Xiaozhi?

Because that was the only name that he could hold tightly and drag into the dark, cold water full of oil.

Even after being dragged in by him, the orange tree still struggled to grow upwards, stretching out its branches with difficulty.

He stared ferociously at the thin branch, which still had tender green leaves, washed clean by the dew.

……

Xun Zhen couldn't correct him no matter what.

——Why in this dream, everything is logical, why can't I find any mistakes?

Because this is the future.

It was he who ruined the future.

Ren Chenbai suddenly struggled to get up, his whole body was already like a wandering spirit, stumbling and running towards the rock recklessly.

He saw himself.

He had to stop himself, the dream had to go on, he couldn't wake up, he couldn't wake up.

Why can't I stop myself?Why not give him a chance?He knew he was wrong, he really knew it was wrong this time, he should have broken all his legs, how could he throw that conch...

He frantically rushed towards the sea, the icy water swallowed him instantly, and the sharp rocks on the bottom of the sea hit his ribs heavily.His chest was convulsed, and he was still struggling to climb into the sea, searching desperately for those conch shells, but he couldn't find the fate that was destroyed by him.

Xun Zhen's reaction was that he couldn't catch up with a lunatic. They led people to catch up, and it took some time to finally find the rock.

Ren Chenbai was dragged out of the sea, his hand was cut bloody by the sharp reef, and his eyes were wide open.

He seemed to be slowly falling into some kind of hallucination, showing a little tentative smile in a trance.

"I know." He choked on blood, "I know I was wrong..."

He seems to be a person who always softens his heart when he sees something. That person probably walked over in a hallucination, and he stretched out his hand impatiently.

Before the smile could be realized, it froze in his eyes for an instant, and then disappeared.

……

He saw himself in hallucinations for the umpteenth time.

He suddenly began to shake his head vigorously, staring at that place and begging in horror, and finally even cried and shouted hysterically.

In the hallucination, he was unmoved, just walked over step by step, he watched his figure cover Luo Chi's vague shadow.

His impression of Luo Chi was too vague, the vague flame dissipated in an instant, leaving no trace, only a hideous and ugly darkness remained.

He cried out in horror, he saw himself for the umpteenth time in that hideous space.

He saw himself go behind the rocks.

What has happened cannot be erased, and there is no chance of changing it.

He picked up the conch with only a shallow layer of fine sand buried on it, raised his hand disapprovingly, and threw it into the sea that swallowed everything.
