bunny in another soap bubble

When he saw the message, Tu Zi was lying on his bed with dark circles under his eyes.

Since he passed out in the earthquake area last time, the three keywords "little guide" often appeared in his head, and he always had some very real dreams when he fell asleep.Sometimes I dreamed that I was being carried on my back, sometimes I dreamed that I could not find my way with a group of children in the mine, and the most terrifying one, I also dreamed that I bound my hands and feet and crushed people on the rocks to death—— That dream made him wake up screaming, and also alarmed his mother who was working overtime in the study. When he turned on the light, he found that his face was covered with tears, and he sat for a long time before he recovered.

So when Lang Ya's name appeared on the notification bar of the phone, Tu Zi was very happy.

He didn't know why, he had only eaten together a few times, but he just felt a sense of peace of mind when he saw Lang Ya... Maybe it was because he was picked up and sent to the doctor when they first met.

[Lang Ya: Sorry to bother you, are you home now? 】

[Lang Ya: It's fine if you're outside... Just come back to me when you're alone in the room. 】

Seeing this content, Tu Zi was a little confused. Is there any information that I have to read at home?Still alone in the room?

After being puzzled for a few seconds on the reply page, Tu Zi suddenly remembered Shu Jie—and the "Attention Behind" photo album he had sent to himself.

- isn't it? !Is Lang Ya this kind of personality? !

Frightened by his brain power, Tu Zi shook his head, forgetting all this mess and going back.

[Tu Zi: I'm just lazy in the room right now^_^What's wrong? 】

[Lang Ya: You lie on the bed first. 】

[Tu Zi:? ?do what? 】

[Lang Ya: ... Anyway, lie on the bed first. 】

【Tu Zi: ...】

[Tu Zi: ... Wait a minute. 】

He died, the mess came back, and he asked for foreign aid.

[Tu Zi: Shu Jie! ! !Are you there? ! !Lang Ya sent me a message! ! ! 】

Shu-Jie, the head of the gossip station, replied almost in seconds.

[Shu Jie: You still say you don't like him? !Why are you excited when he sends you a message? ! 】

【Tu Zi: ...】

[Tu Zi: No!He sent a message telling me to lie in bed! 】

[Tu Zi: (screenshot)]

[Tu Zi: What do you mean by him? ? 】

【Shu Jie: (hehehe.jpg)】

【Tu Zi: (Shocked and pale.jpg)】

[Tu Zi: No way?How long have we known each other?Is he this kind of person? 】

【Shu Jie: ╮(╯▽╰)╭】

【Shu Jie: Anyway, I can't think of any other meaning~】

【Tu Zi: So what should we do?How can I answer him well?What if he asks me to send him nude pictures? 】

[Shu Jie: Just don't post it. 】

【Tu Zi: ...】

[Shu Jie: The choice of whether to send him nude photos is up to you. If you are afraid, it is better to be afraid that he will send you nude photos. Eyes are hot, but there is no way to wash them off. 】

[Tu Zi:! ! 】

[Tu Zi: ...Will he send me nude photos? 】

[Shu Jie: If you follow his words and look back, you will know, come on, remember to show me the screenshot. 】

【Tu Zi: (Tangled.jpg)】

【Tu Zi: But I...】

[Tu Zi: ...um. 】

[Tu Zi: No, I'm still afraid. 】

[Tu Zi: It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm a little nervous. 】

[Tu Zi: I'm not afraid of hot eyes, he should be in good shape... should I? 】

[Tu Zi: I'm just a little... that. 】

【Tu Zi: Shu Jie...】

[Tu Zi: Shu Jie? 】

[Tu Zi: Shu Jie!still there! 】

[Shu Jie: Tu Zi, if you want to see other people's nude photos, you should go back quickly and don't dawdle here and bombard me with messages, causing my phone to keep ringing. I thought there was some hot gossip, and I was still helping my mother pick sprouts! ! ! ! ! 】

"Tsk..." Tu Zi pouted, and didn't send Shu Jie any more messages.

——What do you mean I want to see other people's nude photos, but I don't really want to see them, okay?

……

...Okay, just a little bit to see.

Sentinel's figure is not bad, he even hugged himself, it's normal to think about it - Tu Zi kept finding reasons for himself.

But if he's the kind of person who sends nude photos to people after a short time of acquaintance, he doesn't seem to be a good match—and then Tu Zi keeps struggling.

- wait.

——When did he want to date Lang Ya? !

Brain pumped, brain pumped...

Tu Zi's face reappeared the "Shocked Pale.jpg" emoji he just posted.

[Lang Ya: Tu Zi?are you OK? 】

Fuck it!

[Tu Zi: I'll lie down! 】

Damn, what did I post when my hand slipped!

[Lang Ya: ... as long as it's okay.I have something to tell you, I hope you are mentally prepared. 】

Tu Zi was taken aback, it didn't sound like he was going to post nude photos.

[Tu Zi: What's the matter? 】

[Lang Ya: I know the reason why you fainted before. 】

The reason for passing out?

Tu Zi was baffled, and then suddenly remembered that Lang Ya seemed to be present at the two times he fainted before—or, to put it more boldly, after meeting Lang Ya.

[Tu Zi: ...you want to say...it has something to do with you? 】

All of a sudden, all the messy things flew out of the sky.

[Lang Ya: Can I call you? 】

Tu Zi called Lang Ya directly.

"You said."

Holding his breath, Tu Zi asked Lang Ya to speak directly.

"...Three months ago, when I was being hunted down, I met a boy who was being beaten in an alley."

Afraid that Tu Zi would faint the next moment he heard the truth, Lang Ya didn't go straight to the point, under consideration, he chose to start from his point of view, starting from the moment he and Tu Zi met.

"...After that, he said to the gangsters: He comes from another parallel world, a world where sentries and guides can live freely. He has a class of good classmates, friends, and a mother who loves him very much... Tu Azusa?" A suppressed groan came from the phone, and Lang Ya immediately became nervous.

"Continue." Panting heavily, Tu Zi suppressed the images that suddenly began to flash in his mind again, and let Lang Ya speak.

Even Lang Ya who was on the other side of the microphone could hear Tu Zi's more serious reaction, "Are you okay? Don't get up, if you faint again..."

"You say." Tu Zi curled up on the bed clutching his aching head, almost gnashing his teeth, he already sensed that something was wrong, at least the series of images that reappeared in his mind were related to the appearance of Lang Ya, yes, And the boy Lang Ya mentioned was probably himself.That being the case, he had to listen no matter what.

Speeding up, Lang Ya suppressed his worries and continued: "Because of the technology in the mobile phone he took out, everyone believed what he said, and then..."

"...At the invitation of the little girl, I went to the birthday venue with him, only to find that the little girl is awakening as a guide..."

"..."

A very faint sound suddenly sounded from the other side of the microphone, like the crash of something falling, but it was extremely soft and vague.

"Tu Zi?" Lang Ya called, but got no response, "Tu Zi?...Tu Zi!"

Tu Zi fell into a dream again.

This dream was no more complicated and chaotic than the previous ones, and it didn't even feature himself as the main character.

Like a bystander, he stood in a simple park in a small town, watching a few elementary school students playing from afar.

Suddenly, he remembered - this is not his dream.

This is Zhang Niuniu's dream.

Then, the memories, like the unlocked game levels, reappeared in his mind in one go, so natural and so reasonable, as if they were here in the first place, and he never forgot them.

He remembered that at that time, in order to channel the chaotic spiritual power and information of Niu Niu who was awakening, he ventured into Niu Niu's consciousness, only to find that Niu inadvertently constructed a He created a realistic dream, making himself think that he was still living a life of going to and from class with his classmates every day in the intact Nanzhen—that is where he is now.

Realistic dreams are originally a self-protection mechanism for guides when they face stimuli beyond their ability to bear, but staying too long can easily lead to addiction, so he wanted to quickly construct another safer protection picture, and first pull Niuniu safely. come out.

However, maybe because his operation is too reckless, or because he is inexperienced, or because he is also in an adulthood with unstable power, he was actually affected by Niu Niu's power and fell into his own simulation In a dream.

But now it seems that when he was trying to maintain his mental stability with the sentinel field established by Lang Ya, he accidentally brought Lang Ya's consciousness into it.

--what a shame.

With such a mood, Tu Zi opened his eyes again.

Still in bed "at home".

He has found the reason for his fall, which means he has found the door to return to reality. He should return to reality while awake.But in fact, he returned to his dreamland.

Tu Zi sat on the bed blankly, and after a while, he was forced to face up to his feelings again.

—he wants to go home.

He didn't want to stay in that horrible parallel world, he wanted to go back to his own home, to the point where he even wanted to escape reality.

In his hometown, he didn't need to hide himself, he wouldn't be beaten, hunted down, and he wouldn't... wouldn't... wouldn't kill anyone, just to keep himself and his companions alive.

That world was like a ridiculous nightmare, and he tried to convince himself that he could live with the flow, only to find that it might be easier to convince himself that the dream was reality.

The real reason why he also fell into a virtual dream is not a problem of strength or technology, but his psychology of escaping reality more than Niu Niu.

The mobile phone continues to refresh the messages of "Shu Jie" chatting with other students in the group, and the sound of his mother washing vegetables and cooking is still heard downstairs. It is his subconscious mind that is trying to keep him—you don't want to leave at all, stay.

With a wry smile, Tu Zi clicked on the message from Lang Ya after the call was interrupted.

[Lang Ya: Sorry, Tu Zi.I know you don't belong to our world, if you don't want to go back, I will be responsible for sending you back to your world, you don't have to worry.I wait for your reply. 】

"...Don't be like this," Tu Zi's eyes were flushed as he squeezed the phone tightly, "Stop pampering me, okay?" Don't let him be shaken anymore...

"Tu Zi!" As if faithfully reflecting the shaking of Tu Zi's heart, the call of "Tu Zi's mother" came from downstairs at the next moment, "Are you still sleeping? Come down and eat!"

Hearing this, Tu Zi clenched his fists.

—Mom, I miss you so much...

…………

but……

"Mom!" He took a deep breath and tightened his voice.

——I will go back to see you, but I still need some time.If I can handle it, I will definitely find a way to go home.

"Give me another five minutes, okay?"

After speaking, Tu Zi made up his mind and closed his eyes forcefully.
