[Journey to the West] The male protagonist is under a lot of pressure

Chaixi had a dream.

The person in the dream looked like her but didn't look like her. Chai Xi knew that she should have never experienced such a thing, but what she felt and felt was not like a hallucination in the dream at all, but rather like a memory of personal experience.Even though she realized that she was in a dream, unlike the lucid dreams that occasionally appeared before, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't control her body.

Until she woke up, all she could do was watch how the person in control of her body experienced a series of things. This feeling of dreaming but not dreaming was very strange.It's hard for Chai Xi to describe what kind of mental state she is in. Even if she is conscious, she can't wake up from the dream freely. She is a completely passive bystander... This makes her a little strange.

This feeling ended when the sharp pain came.

The bone-shattering pain all over her body made Chai Xi wonder if she was dreaming, and this just became the opportunity for her to wake up.The moment Chai Xi finally opened her eyes, she found that the sheets had been soaked in her cold sweat, her heart was beating loudly, and the scattered memory fragments that appeared in her mind made it even more difficult for her to distinguish reality from dreams.

Wait, if she really became a mountain, why doesn't she have any memory of it?

Chai Xi quickly discovered the inappropriateness of this idea, and she overturned her own doubts.

However, even if the dream is considered to be a memory of personal experience because the feeling of the dream is too real, there is still something unreasonable.

She stood up with some difficulty, and even though the state of her body told her that the pain she felt before was all hallucinations, Chai Xi still couldn't control her actions freely.She felt that her brain was a little confused now, and she needed time to sort out her thoughts.

She realized drowsily that today is Monday, and after Bai Yu left yesterday, she squinted and got something vaguely in her sleep.Unexpectedly, after falling asleep last night, I dreamed about the previous content again, almost confusing it with reality.

— By the way, Monday.

While trying hard to keep her consciousness clear, Chaixi picked up her mobile phone, and saw that Bai Yu had sent her a text message half an hour ago, saying that she had already asked for leave for her, and there were only two classes today, so she was told to just have a good rest.At the end of the day, she also told her not to go out as much as possible today. Anyway, there is still some left in the refrigerator, so I will take care of it in the morning, and I will bring food over at noon and evening.

Don't be so troublesome...

She thought that her temperature had dropped a lot last night, and this morning she felt stronger than last night—if the discomfort caused by the dream was ignored.All in all, my physical condition has improved a lot, and it is completely feasible to cook by myself.

However, no matter what she said, Bai Yu insisted on coming.I came here at noon and had lunch with her, and then came again in the evening. Chai Xi, who still needed to recuperate, could only continue to drink porridge, and looked at Bai Yu, who was eating steamed scallops shredded with garlic and rice with relish. , I said in my heart that just to make her envious and jealous, I really don't mind bringing trouble here.

...But she admitted that Bai Yu's goal had really been achieved.

To be honest, Chai Xi really didn't want Tuesday to come, but unfortunately time waits for no one, no matter how much she sighs, she still has to abide by the agreement she made.Bai Yu kept claiming that she was asked not to go out casually before Tuesday, and the temperature dropped drastically just as Bai Yu said. From this perspective, if she didn't listen to Bai Yu's words, her condition would indeed be more serious. Instead of getting better so quickly like now.

But now that it's Tuesday, Chai Xi thinks that her body is almost recovered, so she didn't tell Bai Yu that she was going to meet her senior.Faced with her friend's unusual behavior, she chooses to trust him; but Chaixi somehow has a premonition that if she tells Bai Yu about this, Bai Yu will definitely object, but Chaixi wants to make a break.

She locked the door and walked towards the stairs. The elevator was being repaired these days, but fortunately she didn't live too high, otherwise going up and down the stairs would definitely be a headache.

That is, when he just stepped down a few steps, Chaixi remembered what Bai Yu said about the monkeys raised downstairs.

——She understood where the strangeness she had noticed at that time came from.

Bai Yu didn't say clearly whether he bumped into that person before or after the elevator was repaired, but if it was said that he met that person when he was going downstairs, in all likelihood, he should have come down the stairs.

And there is no way to see the situation of the residents from here—in other words, it is even impossible to see the door of any resident from here, unless you deliberately go to a certain floor to find someone, otherwise it is impossible to "just go downstairs when you go downstairs." I saw his house closed."As far as Chai Xi knew, Bai Yu didn't know anyone else in this apartment building except her.

Either Bai Yu never told her that there were other acquaintances of hers living here, or Bai Yu made up this theory.The former has been overthrown by Bai Yu himself in a certain chat, so the only thing left is the latter.

Then... the question is, why did Bai Yu lie?

There is no doubt that Bai Yu's behavior when she heard her mention the monkey can be connected with it. Chai Xi has reason to think that her friend actually knows the real situation of the monkey, but it's just because of some reason she doesn't know. The reason, Bai Yu needs to hide this.

Why don't you want to let her know?

Chaixi took out the phone with complicated emotions, stared at the phone number on it for a while, but still didn't dial it.Regardless of the fact that she is still in the other party's elective class, and she doesn't want to contact him very much now, she always feels that there should be something she hasn't discovered—something more important.

She just went straight to the coffee shop by the north gate.

She and Bai Yu go to Ximen more often, and she is well aware of Bai Yu's habits. After the literature retrieval class on Tuesday, the other party will definitely go from the one that is closer to the library and there are fresh blueberries for sale. Nanmen to go home—or be picked up by her family friend.Chai Xi, who had the misfortune to walk with her once, was dazzled. From then on, she completely refused to drop in with Bai Yu, and usually met her boyfriend as little as possible. I am glad that my two-person world is disturbed.

Therefore, Chaixi was not worried about being bumped into by Bai Yu at all.

When she walked into the coffee shop, there were not many students in the shop, sitting in twos and threes in the small shop, some of them came here to write papers, and there were also couples who came here to show their affection.She found Gao Yangnan who was sitting in the corner without much effort - she was more used to calling him the senior, she barely knew him at all when they were dating, and only knew a little bit about him through Bai Yu, who was extremely well-informed Personal information, and the short contact time made it impossible for the two to get closer.

Gao Yangnan, who was staring blankly at the phone, also quickly saw her. He immediately sat up straight and stuffed the phone into his trouser pocket.

It was five minutes before two o'clock.

"What do you want me to do today?"

As soon as she sat down on the chair opposite, Chai Xi said that she didn't even address the other person by name, which was a very rare behavior given her usual style.

The other party did not answer her question immediately, but ordered two cups of coffee with the waiter a little awkwardly.Chai Xi was a little surprised to find that the other party still remembered his taste, but in the next second he readjusted his mental state, and began to think about how to pay the bill and leave.

"Actually," he said after an awkward silence, when the waiter finally brought two cups of coffee, "I still want to talk about what I mentioned to you two days ago."

Chai Xi frowned. She picked up her cup of hazelnut latte and took a sip. While the bitterness of the coffee was mixed with the sweetness of hazelnut jam and the aroma of milk, it spread in her mouth. On the one hand, the familiar taste made her A little relaxed, on the other hand, a strange premonition emerged from the bottom of my heart for some reason.

"If it's about that, we don't need to talk any more."

She said coldly: "Even if I believe what you said is true, so what? If you just want to prove that dumping me is your last choice and right choice, then why do you have to explain this matter to me until now?" thing?"

"No...it's not what you imagined." The person sitting across from him hastily explained, "I don't think you read the message I sent later."

All of a sudden, Chai Xi suddenly found that she couldn't hear what he was saying, and she only saw the opening and closing of the mouth of the person opposite.There is a familiar feeling coming up from the whole body, as if... I have always had it before but never noticed it, and it seems to have finally resumed after this period of interruption.Thinking about it carefully, this feeling is not unprecedented, but it has never been as obvious as it is now——

long-lost-

Chai Xi blinked, and somehow found that his eyes were sore.

She could hear again.

"Actually, when I said that, I didn't want to prove that what I did was right..." He was still explaining, "It's just——if you read my next few messages, you should be able to understand. Uh, although you said Will not agree to any of my requests, but I still want to give it a try..."

He seemed to be nervous about it, and to ease it, he picked up his cup of coffee and took a sip.

Immediately afterwards, Chai Xi saw that his expression became extremely strange and distorted.

Strange, didn't he add creamer and sugar just now...

She could only understand this as maybe the taste he ordered today was too bitter, but she saw with her own eyes that the other party added enough creamer and sugar, and it wasn't like they didn't drink coffee together when they were dating—or in in this store.She couldn't remember which date, but she still remembered that the other party ordered black coffee once and drank it without any problems.

It seemed that he was holding back the coffee so that he didn't spit it out. After seeing the other party swallow the coffee with an extremely difficult expression, Chai Xi sighed, stood up from the chair, and planned to end the oolong It's like a farce.

"I can guess what you want to say, but I can't promise you."

She put their coffee money on the table.

"The reason is very simple," if only relying on that sporadic memory, "I have someone I like."

...For some reason, Chaixi suddenly felt a little cold.
