Chapter 52 (1/2)
What is the meaning of the game?
Sometimes, it's sad to see people killed in order to get rid of the ghost. Sometimes it's too sad to be killed by a ghost.
After seven days, it will be seven days again. After countless seven days, what is true, what is false, what is reality, what is dream? If the only standard of certainty is lost, what should be judged.
Forced to move forward like a hypocrite and plundered like a fool, this is a world where praying to the gods can't be answered. Who can tell him the meaning of all this.
The LCD screen, orange red ”win” burst out, Tang Zhi finally blinked.
Staring at the screen for a long time, his original clear eyes were covered with grey yarn and lost their former glory.
EN Jin sat beside him, rubbed her eyes, and tried to keep up her spirits.
Holding the handle to call up the menu and restart the game, he said in a low voice with irresistible tiredness: ”this time to play honor mode?”
It was the dull sound of the handle falling on the floor.
Eugene pauses for a moment and looks at Tang Zhi.
At the same time, Gu Meng, who was sleeping on the sofa, woke up. He sat up and said nervously, ”what's the matter?”
Since this period of time, he has been paying close attention to Tang Zhi's state all the time, and it is not too much to say that he is all over the place.
Tang Zhi looked at the LCD screen in front of him without expression and calmly asked Enjin, ”why should I lose all the time?”
EN Jin gradually put down the game controller, drooping eyelids, no voice.
Gu Meng came to them, sat down on the floor and looked at Tang Zhi anxiously: ”would you feel bored? Do you want to play something else? ”
Tang Zhi shook his head and said, ”I'm going to bed.”
He stood up from the floor and walked towards the room as usual.
Gu Meng's eyes follow him until he enters the first bedroom and closes the door.
Finally, he glanced through a whole row of rooms.
There used to be four bedrooms in the smart house. After returning from the snow mountain, one room disappeared. Now there are only three.
Gu Meng turned around, sat cross legged on the floor, looked at en Jin, and said, ”you mean it. You've played with him for hundreds of games these days. How can you lose? Pay more attention to the probability. ”
”But...” EN Jin stretched out her long legs, leaned back to the sofa behind her, looked up at the crystal lamp on the top, hesitated for a moment, and explained, ”but he said before, let me not win candi.”
Knowing who the ”he” refers to, Gu Meng pricked her heart, lowered her head and remained silent for a while. She was ready to get up and didn't continue the topic. She said, ”it's hard. It's late. Go to bed.”
But was grabbed by en Jin.
”Gu Meng.” EN Jin sat in the body, climbed close, staring at him and asked, ”what's it like to miss someone?”
”If you can still see that person, the feeling of missing is very complex, sweet, sour, empty, full of expectation, these are the feelings when you miss someone.” Gu Meng pursed her lips and whispered, ”but if you know that you can't meet him again, if you think about it, you will feel sorry. Maybe, there will be some pain.”
Enjin lowered her head on his shoulder and whispered, ”I may miss him a little.”
Gu Meng rubbed his hair: ”me too.”
In the room, Tang Zhi sleeps heavily, buries his face in the pillow, lies prone on the bed, even the quilt is still under his body, never lifted.
I don't know how long after, he was awakened by the sound of the door opening, leaning from the soft pillow, looking at the door.
There was only one standing light in the room, and the warm orange light was very dim.
The visitor approached the bedside and sat down, his face gradually exposed to the light.
Tang Zhi was still lying on the bed, just looked up at him and squinted sleepily.
”What's wrong with tiger today?” Man faint smile, voice line soft ask, ”look at very have no spirit, not prestige at all.”
Tang Zhi didn't dare to touch him. He began to clench the bed sheet with both hands. He rubbed his eyes on the pillow and said, ”no, I'm fine.”
Wake up to play games, when the point to eat, tired sleep, so every day, there is nothing wrong, nothing bad.
As long as you don't think about anything.
Tang Zhi said, ”so you don't have to worry.”
Bo Ye lowered his eyes, stroked his forehead and hair back, touched his cheek, and chuckled: ”I still love crying so much. How can I not worry about it?”
The tears that had been spinning in his eyes slipped and the pillow was wet. Tang Zhi looked at the man's face greedily and said, ”I just saw you. I can't help it.”
Bo Ye scraped away his tears with his fingers and gradually gathered up a smile. He asked, ”how are you doing recently?”
Tang Zhi sobbed. When he couldn't hold on, he could only face the fact. The tears fell more and more quickly. He said in a hoarse voice: ”it's painful everywhere What would I do without you? ”Bo Ye looked around his face, as if there were thousands of words, but in the end he could only sigh and say, ”I'm sorry.”
Then he said, ”forget it. You did a good job the other day, didn't you?”
Tang Zhi wanted to hold his hand, but the hand he had just stretched out drew back timidly, fearing that a man would disappear when he touched him.
”Not at all.” He said, ”I miss you, Bo Ye.”
Bo Ye looked at him, a little helpless, a little sad, did not speak again.
Tang Zhi wiped his tears and choked: ”I think of you so painful, so cold, only one person, my heart is very uncomfortable.”
”If only I went down at that time. I just want to stay by your side, and I don't want to escape anywhere.”
”Bo Ye, I miss you...”
“Candi。”
Bo ye called him, but he didn't listen.
”Even if I've broken through all the games, I'll still crash without you, Bo Ye...”
“Candi？”
He was pushed.
The next second awakes, the face already moistened.
Tang Zhi couldn't help but look at the people in front of him with tears in his clear eyes.
Gu Meng squatted on the edge of the bed, pretending that he didn't know anything, and cautiously said, ”can I sleep well? You don't feel comfortable sleeping on your stomach all night. ”
Tang Zhi wiped his eyes and turned his head to the other side. He said with a heavy nasal voice: ”I'm ok.”
After a long time, he added, ”thank you.”
Gu Meng can't help but feel a headache. Seeing his left wrist, Gu Meng tries to touch him: ”the wound on your wrist has been healed. It's been six days. The bandage has hurt your skin for a long time.”
Without waiting for him to meet him, Tang Zhi quickly took back his hand and gradually hid under the pillow.
”Don't mind me,” he whispered
Gu Meng had no choice but to understand his mood at the moment. He got up, lowered the brightness of the vertical lamp, and said, ”go to bed early. If you can't sleep, call me at any time.”
”Well.”
The door closed again.
Tang Zhi took back his hand from under the pillow and lay on his back in bed.
He raised his left wrist and pushed the loose cuff up to reveal the entire length of the bandage.
There are two simple strokes on the bandage. One is that two villains are fighting, the other is two villains making love. They are vividly drawn, which instantly reminds me of that night.
Moon, snow, Bo Ye's smile.
How can it be forgotten.
Next to Jian's handwriting is Bo Ye's handwriting, written two lines of Martian writing.
Bo ye loved Tang Zhi.
”One's life, never give up”.
Tang Zhi looked for a long time, put his forearm over his eyelid and put a bandage on it.
“うそつき。”
(lies...)
A low voice was heard in the room, empty, and the ending was shaking.
On the morning of the seventh day, Tang Zhi startles Gu Meng and en Jin when he enters the restaurant.
Gu Meng holds the pan in her left hand, and a piece of fried egg lies on the spatula of her right hand. She is about to put it in en Jin's plate. She looks at Tang Zhi who comes in and forgets to move.
EN Jin holds a cup in one hand and holds half a stick in her mouth. Her sight keeps sweeping Tang Zhi's face.
”Cough...” Gu Meng coughed twice, put down the pan, rubbed his sweat off his apron, and asked, ”candi, are you ok?”
Tang Zhi pulled out his chair and sat down. Facing the breakfast in front of him, he shook his head quietly.
Gu Meng reminds: ”your hair.”
Tang Zhi moved his knife and fork in front of him. His beautiful eyes drooped and he said faintly, ”I feel bored. I've cut it.”
His hair was cut short.
The original hair style was slightly long, dark and soft, and looked very nice. Occasionally, bangs need to be clamped with hairpins, otherwise it would cover the eyes. Gu Meng still remembers that his hairpin is a crystal cherry style, with a Christmas color.
But now, the boy's hair is cut to pieces and short. The bangs are gnawed by dogs. It may be destroyed by putting them on ordinary people. But Tang Zhi is not the same. He can't stand his good looks.
The new hairstyle highlights the beautiful facial lines. The gorgeous facial features can't be hidden. The whole person looks much cleaner than before.
Because it was cut casually by myself, the layers were disordered and not decorated. On the contrary, it seemed natural and fresh.
The feeling of youth is high.
EN Jin looked for a long time, rubbed off the oil on the tablecloth, and concluded: ”it's very nice.”
Gu Meng said, ”handsome.”
”Thank you.”
Tang Zhi held the sandwich in one hand and took a big bite with his head down. His cheek was bulging. He ate more boldly than before. He seemed to have been hungry for a long time and didn't care what he was eating.
Gu Meng poured a cup of milk and pushed it in front of him. Looking at him, he could not rest assured. He said, ”slow down.”
Tang Zhi took the milk and nodded.
After breakfast, Enjin helped clear the table.
In the kitchen, he put the dishes in the dishwasher and couldn't help looking at Tang Zhi, who was sitting in the living room.Boys are already playing games.
He looked back, thought about it, and said, ”he said we should take care of candi, but now it seems that candi is not good.”
”You've done very well.” Adorable the foam on the hand, Gu sighed. ”What I want to do is to play Candi in my pocket in the next game, so as not to do anything stupid.”
In the evening, Enjin accompanies Tang Zhi to play the game. Instead of the previous confrontation mode, Enjin chooses a double player game, so that he doesn't have to make mistakes at critical moments. However, most of the time, he follows Tang Zhi and makes a silent remedy unless Tang Zhi misses some key clues.
Tang Zhi did not say a word, staring at the LCD screen, mechanically operating the game handle.
Gu Meng looks at the electronic clock. Today is Thursday. It's time to enter the next game.
Is thinking, the familiar ”Ding Dong” sound suddenly rings in the wisdom house.
The two players in front of the TV stopped at the same time and looked over the living room.
”Hello, dear players. I'm your smart housekeeper, Adam.”
Men's voices come from all directions and reverberate in the wisdom room.
”First of all, once again, congratulations on passing the third game. I believe that after arduous efforts, we have tasted the joy of the fruits of success. After data analysis, both psychological and physical aspects, you have been able to adapt to the content of the game. This is a good thing, which will help you improve the clearance rate in the next game.”
”Adam specially came to inform us that the fourth game has been loaded and will start at 0:00 on Thursday. Please keep your best condition and join the game.”
The static electricity didn't ring. Adam finally said, ”I'm sorry for Mr. Bo. The dead are long and the living are like this. I hope you can...”
”It's so noisy!”
Don't wait for the male voice to finish saying, Tang Zhi smashed the game handle to the crystal lamp, extremely irritable.
The light flickered unsteadily twice.
Adam didn't speak any more. After a while, with the beep, the intelligent house fell into silence.
It was the only time in seven days that Tang Zhi lost his temper.
He wrung his eyebrows and bit his lower lip impatiently. He got up and walked towards the room. He did not forget to say hello to Gu Meng and en Jin: ”see you at the next game.”
Seeing that the door of the first bedroom is closed, Gu Meng immediately smashes a pillow on the flower board in the sky, and angrily says, ”what kind of intellectual housekeeper! If you don't open a pot, pick it up and beat it! ”
”Gu Meng is not angry.” EN Jin went to him, bent down to shun Mao, tone seriously comforted way, ”people cheap own day collection, system cheap sooner or later will be destroyed.”
Gu Meng: OK
Although it's a curse with no eggs, it sounds strange.
Pretending to be offline, but there is no Adam:.... ”
”Tang Zhi.”
The soft and smiling voice of a woman passed her cheek, carrying a breeze.
Tang Zhi's hair moved and his eyes opened.
As a result, I was stimulated by the strong light in front of me and closed my eyes.
After getting used to it for a while, he saw that he was in a small studio with the searchlights on, a halo on the side of the white reflector, and a SLR fixed on a tripod in front of him.
”Watch the camera.”
Behind the SLR, a hoarse male voice gave instructions.
Because the back light, hidden behind the lens, can only see is a huge shadow.
Tang Zhi looked down at the black board that he had been holding in his hand. It was divided into three columns and wrote with chalk:
[Tangzhi]
