Pretend to be pregnant if you pretend to be A

It was when Jixiu was washing the dishes that he suddenly realized that his shirt was a little tight.

The movement of his hands paused, and he raised his head.

Through the reflective glass, he saw his stubble-covered 20-something face.

Jixiu found a loose white shirt to put on, he silently washed the dishes, washed the clothes, and then sat quietly on the sofa.

His palms were slightly sweaty.

Jixiu knew that he would change one day, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, so fast that he was almost unprepared.

But now that he has promised Brother Xing, he will not run away again.

Brother Xing said he would be right back.

Jixiu looked at the glasses with some anxiety.

Fortunately, the age span is not too big this time, he looks like 23 or [-] years old, Brother Xing... Brother Xing should be acceptable.

But it wasn't Brother Xing who came back, it was Zhao Xianzhong who brought Li Yuyu back.

Ji Xiu froze for a moment, and hid when Zhao Xianzhong led the universe into the house.

"……no one there?"

Li Yuyu was a little confused, and then he was led away by Zhao Xianzhong.

Jixiu stayed at home for a while, but Brother Xing still didn't come back.

Jixiu was afraid that something might happen to Li Poxing, but he didn't have a phone number at home, so he wanted to go out and find a public phone.

When he went out, Diao Diao kept barking.

He put a leash on Diao Diao, and led Diao Diao out together.

After walking for a long time, Jixiu found a telephone booth in a park.

When he touched the phone, he felt a sudden change in his body.

Jixiu knew that he was aging at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The upper part of the phone booth is translucent.

Jixiu was afraid that people would find out that he looked like a monster, so he squatted down almost hastily.

After a while, he was still getting older, showing no signs of stopping.

How old will he be?

What kind of appearance would he... face his Brother Xing.

Jixiu was terrified.

Someone outside suddenly wanted to pull the door, but found that the door was locked.

But from this person's perspective, there was clearly no one in the phone booth.

The man was lying on the translucent glass, looking down.

He found an old man squatting on the ground, he could only see the top of the old man's gray head.

"Hey, old man! What are you doing? Can't you come out of the phone booth? I have something urgent?!"

Ji Xiu slowly buried his face in his knees.

"Is there something wrong?"

More and more people gathered around and poked their heads to look inside.

But Jixiu could only bury his head lower.

He can't go out.

…Because others will find that he has increased age spots one by one and deepened wrinkles one by one.

Until—the Diao Diao beside him began to bark viciously at the people outside the glass.

Then it leaned over and lightly licked Ji Xiu's drooping, old hand.

Diao Diao still recognized him.

No matter what he looks like... Diao Diao still recognizes him.

Ji Xiu suddenly felt his heart slowly warm up.

He thought, Brother Xing would recognize him too.

Brother Xing will not give up on him either.

... It's as if it's in the mouth.

Jixiu didn't call, because his voice has changed a lot now.

He took it home with him.

I walked very slowly, my palms were sweaty, and I felt a little nervous.

He thought, Brother Xing would be shocked and unbelievable at first.

He will explain to Brother Xing slowly.

……

Brother Xing will listen to his explanation.

Turning across this alley is their home.

Jixiu paused, then took a deep breath, and stepped out.

In the end, he saw Brother Xing and Zhao Xianzhong walking out of the house together.

Jixiu turned around in a panic.

... No way should an outsider like Zhao Xianzhong see him like this.

Unexpectedly, he was still chased by Brother Xing.

When Jixiu looked at Li Poxing, he was so nervous that he couldn't say a word.

He even felt that his forehead was slightly sweating.

Li Poxing frowned: "Who are you? Why are you holding my dog?"

Li Poxing noticed that the old man was taken aback, and then stepped back.

Li Poxing glanced at the old man again. The old man was already very old, and he was still disabled. Li Poxing felt that his tone just now seemed too harsh.

He himself shouldn't be like this to the old man, but now he can't find Jixiu, and his whole body is anxious and irritable.

He pursed his lips and suppressed the irritability in his heart: "...I mean...this is my dog ​​in your hand, can you understand?"

The old man froze for a long time, then nodded slowly.

But he didn't seem to have the intention of handing the dog leash to him. Li Poxing's eyebrows were tightened a little more, and he called the dog's name on the ground.

"Diao Diao, come here."

Diao Diao ran to Li Poxing's legs like he was having fun.

"Give me the leash." Li Poxing stretched out his hand.

The old man seemed to react now, and handed the dog leash to Li Poxing in a panic.

"Thank you." Li Poxing took the dog leash and said, "Can I ask where you saw my dog?"

Li Poxing continued to ask: "Or, did you see a young man leading this dog, he was about 20 years old."

Li Poxing stretched out his hand and gestured: "It's about this tall, and it looks very good-looking. Although it's 23 years old, it still looks like a high school student at first glance..."

The old man's right eye is blind, but his left eye is not as cloudy as the average old man's, and even a little clear, as bright as a shallow pool of water. He looked at Li Poxing with these eyes for a long time, and finally moved his mouth move.

"I..." He clenched his thin and old left hand tightly, and his voice was hoarse and vicissitudes, as if a rough earth and stone were rubbing against the ground.

"I... I actually..."

"What's wrong?" A man's voice suddenly sounded.

It was Zhao Xianzhong, who just saw Li Poxing running over, thought something happened, and followed him, "Did something happen?"

"It's all right." Li Poxing said, "This old man is holding his mouth. I wonder if Jixiu has gone somewhere."

Zhao Xianzhong asked: "Hello, have you met the owner who is leading this dog? Did he entrust this dog to you?"

The old man froze for a moment and didn't speak.

Zhao Xianzhong looked at Li Poxing and said: "...Do you think this old man has dementia? He is really old."

Li Poxing thought about it for a while, and it was really possible that the old man's movements were sluggish from beginning to end, as if he couldn't understand human words.

So he patiently said to the old man: "...Are you lost? Do you have the phone number of your family...Where is your home? Do you want us to send you back?"

As Li Poxing said, he wanted to reach out and look into the pockets of the old man, because generally the pockets of Alzheimer's patients have family members' brands or small notes.

But the old man suddenly avoided it.

He hid in a hurry, staggered and almost fell, Zhao Xianzhong reached out to help him, but he pushed him away.

He is old, but not weak in strength. He pushed Zhao Xianzhong away, and even pushed Zhao Xianzhong, a grown man, to the ground.

Li Poxing stretched out his hand to help Zhao Xianzhong up, saw that Zhao Xianzhong's hands were scratched, his face turned cold, and he said to the old man: "Hey, why are you so strange, old man? We kindly helped you, why did you fight back? "

The old man's left eye flickered, he pursed his lips, and said in a hoarse voice:

"...the dog...is what I saw...in front."

"...No, I saw someone."

said the old man.

Li Poxing was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, the old man had already turned around and walked away tremblingly.

Li Poxing found that he could not find Jixiu again.

I can't find it anywhere.

Just disappeared out of thin air.

In the past two days, he didn't go to the martial arts gym, and he didn't broadcast the game live, but his mood got worse day by day.

Li Yuyu was lying on the table doing homework. After writing for a while, he suddenly said to Li Poxing: "...Dad, that annoying teacher is gone, and no one will scold me for not having a second dad in the future."

Li Poxing was taken aback.

Then he said: "...don't other kids talk about you?"

Li Yuzhou raised his face and said proudly: "No, they can't beat me! Once they scold me, I beat them once!"

... So it's not that the other children don't say it, but they dare not. One can imagine how Li Yuyu lived in the kindergarten.

Li Poxing: "I'll transfer you to another school in two days."

"I don't." Li Yuyu said, "It's them who did the wrong thing, why should I transfer! I don't want to transfer! I will stay in the kindergarten and let the teacher send me little red flowers and golden mechanical birds every day." Stickers! Piss them off!"

Li Poxing smiled and reached out to touch his head.

"Dad." Li Yuyu said cautiously, "Did Second Dad leave again?"

The smile on Li Poxing's face faded: "Yes."

"Then when will he come back? When he comes back...do you want to break his legs?"

"I don't know, but I won't break his legs even if he comes back."

Li Poxing paused, and said, "...I don't want him anymore."

Li Yuyu lowered his head.

His second dad came back for a while, and he had only seen him for an hour.

He thought that he would have a second dad in the future, but he didn't expect the second dad to disappear again.

...like a dream.

Li Yuyu thought a little bit disappointed.

Second Dad is like this...it might as well never have come back.

Day three.

martial arts.

Break time.

Li Poxing's terminal remembered.

Unfamiliar number.

Li Poxing took it, and it turned out to be Jixiu's voice over there.

"Brother Xing... I'm sorry, it took me so long to contact you. I... I had something urgent two days ago. I..."

"Jixiu." Li Poxing's fingertips trembled slightly, but his voice was too calm, "It was you who said you would never leave again."

"But when you left. You didn't even leave me a note."

"Jixiu, I'm tired of being disappointed in you now."

"...You don't have to come back."

There was silence for a long time and no sound came out.

Not even the sound of breathing could be heard.

Li Poxing hung up the phone.

The students sat in front of the big TV with the remote control and were about to watch cartoons. They tuned it and found that the remote control was broken: "Coach, coach, the remote control is broken, and I can't press it."

"It's out of battery."

Li Poxing stepped forward, took the remote control, and was about to try it, but suddenly stopped.

On the TV screen is a piece of local news from District K.

"...As of noon today, the young talents who participated in the 0217 Imperial Experiment finally returned home... Yin Shaoyuan, Bai Cheng, Xu Tingxi, Ling Qian... Let us applaud these heroes who protect their hearts and welcome you home !!"

Li Poxing read the entire report, but did not see Jixiu's name.

"Huh? Why is there no Jixiu's name?" He Xiaohua walked over with the ice cream, "Didn't he also participate in this experimental project at the time?"

"It's not the same batch." The octopus came over and said, "Maybe the Jixiu is more confidential, otherwise why it seems like they won't come back."

"Tell him what he is doing." Li Poxing looked at his watch and turned off the TV. "The break time is over, and class starts, He Xiaohua! Put down the ice cream in your hand."

"Father, Li Xiaoxiu can always leave a note when he leaves, why didn't Second Dad say anything when he left?"

Li Poxing put down his chopsticks, and said coldly, "Can you forget about him?"

"Oh." Li Zhouyu said sullenly.

Li Poxing suddenly felt something was wrong: "...What little note?"

"Here, this." Li Yuyu took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Li Poxing, "I just found it today, it fell into the crack of the desk, and there is Dad, I don't know the word..."

There are some immature fonts on the note.

"Brother, thank you for taking me in, but I've already remembered where my home is, it's very close, and I'll go back by myself. Finally, good night. I wish my brother and the universe a safe and happy life. ——Li Xiaoxiu."

Li Poxing frowned, feeling more and more wrong in his heart.

... Wasn't Li Xiaoxiu sent away by Jixiu?

Why is the tone on the note...as if he left by himself?

"Father, what word is this... and this, what does this word read...Li Xiaoxiu is so good, he can write so many words..."

Li Poxing looked at the note and suddenly felt a little strange.

Li Poxing suddenly remembered that that morning, Li Yuyu couldn't find his handwork, and it turned out that Jixiu took it out of the bedroom in the end.

Li Poxing suddenly felt a headache, and he asked Li Yuyu: "...At that time, Jixiu...he gave you the manual work. Is the location easy to find?"

Li Yuyu thought about it carefully, and then remembered what Li Poxin was talking about. He shook his head: "No, I finished my homework and put it in the drawer. At that time, only Li Xiaoxiu and I were there. I don’t even know how Second Dad found it, it’s amazing.”

Li Poxing felt even weirder.

Li Poxing suddenly felt that Li Xiaoxiu was abnormal.

Jixiu's relative...why is his surname Li?

And Jixiu's younger brothers are all like that...Jixiu seems to have a relationship with his family, which is extremely bad, so what is the relationship between him and Li Xiaoxiu?

And Li Xiaoxiu's injuries...

For a while, Li Poxing suddenly flashed some fragments in his mind. He felt a headache, and he tapped on the temple twice.

What the hell is that snippet?

It seems to be...Jixiu?

He remembered.

Ji Xiu also has scars on his ribs.

He touched it the night when he woke up in estrus, but his consciousness was fuzzy at that time, and Jixiu said something vaguely, and he quickly forgot about this scar.

For some reason, the eyes of the centenarian from the previous two days appeared again in my mind.

The old man looked at him, as if he wanted to say a lot, but he didn't say anything.

……

That old man, why did he find Diao Diao on a leash outside?

Diao Diao afraid of life...... Why let the old man lead obediently?

Li Poxing felt that his headache was going to explode.

Too many strange things, too many unreasonable things suddenly flooded over like a flood.

When Li Poxing looked up, he suddenly saw the monitor in the corner.

It was installed at home when Li Yuyu was young.

At that time, Li Yuyu liked to sleep and could sleep for more than ten hours a day. Li Poxing had to go out to work. Don’t worry that Li Yuyu was alone at home, so he installed a monitoring system. When he went out, he opened the terminal and could see Li Yuyu sleeping. If he wakes up, he will hurry back.

After Li Yuyu went to kindergarten, he didn't watch the surveillance much.

an hour later.

Li Poxing started making calls.

His voice trembled.

"...Octopus, do you have Bai Cheng's contact information?"

Li Poxing was riding a heavy motorcycle. He came in a panic and didn't wear a helmet. The wind blew past his ears, making his face hurt.

Bai Cheng's words rang in his ears.

"...Why did you participate in the imperial research project? Jixiu didn't go. I heard that everyone around the emperor went to the school to invite him, but he refused."

"...He doesn't seem to have left Area K in the past five years... My dad also said that he once saw him go to the underground market for experimental supplies to buy medical materials."

"It's definitely not the school's laboratory...but I heard that he had his own laboratory before he came to the Third Hospital...in a warehouse in the suburbs."

"boom!"

The door of the abandoned warehouse laboratory was kicked open.

The light came out.

Into this almost moldy warehouse.

There was a figure squatting in the corner. Hearing the sound, his whole body trembled, and then he raised his head.

The man was about 40 to [-] years old, but his hair was half white, his beard grew a little, and he looked sloppy. The white shirt on his body became gray and black, and there was a circle on the ground. cigarette butts, and he was also covered in soot.

When he saw the person outside the door, his expression could almost be called panic, his eyes were wide open, his face had no blood at all, it was gray and white.

This is his little fix.

He once said to Xiaoxiu, who had suffered so much.

I don't want you anymore.

You don't have to come back.

Li Poxing pinched the door frame tightly, he almost felt that every breath he took touched the deepest scar on his heart.The heartache slashed towards his heart like a sharp knife, stabbing him bloody.

But he hates again.

He hates Jixiu for deceiving him, hiding it from him, and not telling him about all the hardships a person has suffered.

But these hatreds were wrapped tightly by the heart, melted into the blood, pierced into the flesh, and became a deeper and heavier heartache.

His eyes were red from the pain.

"Get over here."

he said hoarsely.
