Chu Feng watched X wearing the Lucky brooch in high spirits and leaving his Dreaming City.
--This person definitely did it on purpose!
Xiao Xie, who was full of platonic states, looked at Chu Feng pitifully. Xie, who was a good adult, was unable to plant maple trees due to the side effects of the glass ball prop X, and he didn't know how long it would last.
Tick -
[Brain waves have been disconnected, you have exited Dream City]
Chu Feng suddenly took off the game headgear and returned to reality, holding back his anger.
He just guessed that Supervisor X might... have some other ideas about him, because they are not exactly like the relationship between ordinary players and ordinary supervisors in the game.
Now that Chu Feng is sure, this person just has ulterior motives. He even put his mind on the character Xiao Xie, restricting the normal life of their husband and wife.
Chu Feng picked up his mobile phone - WeChat, and was about to send the sentence that was deleted just now: "You did it on purpose."
Buzzing -
before he sent a message, X on the opposite plane sent it first without any guilt:
[Will you come to pick me up? ]
- With emoticon package: Corgi puppy hooks his eyes and looks at you.
Chu Feng laughed angrily, and forcefully replied two words:
[Wait. ]
--There are still 49 minutes before flight MF1109 lands.
Chu Feng got up, ready to go to the airport to settle accounts with X himself.
The wheels of the Lamborghini
rubbed against the highway leading to the airport, and the engine of the sports car made a chattering sound.
When Chu Feng went out, he put on some clothes casually. He looked at the mirror on the car, and the clothes really looked a little too big.
Since inheriting Xie Shiyu's company, Chu Feng wears formal high-end suits and shirts every day. Today, when I went to pick up X at the airport, Chu Feng dressed casually. He only put on an ordinary black adidas sweater and went out.
When getting off the elevator at home just now, Chu Feng glanced at the mirror on the top of the elevator, and found that this dress... was not his own black sweater, but Xie Shiyu's.
Although Xie Shiyu had been gone for two years, Chu Feng still put his clothes together with himself, even the toothbrushes were placed in the bathroom intact, in pairs. He was in a hurry to go out today, so he randomly picked one from the closet, and accidentally made a mistake.
Both of them have the same piece of clothing. Chu Feng remembered that he and Xie Shiyu bought it when they were in college, and made it into a couple's outfit.
In the past, he and Xie Shiyu had donated a lot of old clothes to the recycle bin, but the couple's clothes were kept in the closet no matter how many years they were kept.
Xie Shiyu was over 1.9 meters tall, and his clothes were a bit too big for Chu Feng who was 1.8 meters tall. Chu Feng pulled his sleeves and continued to drive.
The car is a Lamborghini, Xie Shiyu's favorite car during his lifetime. At the end of the road extension, Chu Feng saw a whole area of huge flat buildings, which looked very eye-catching in a city full of high-rise buildings.
At the airport, after a two-year absence, he came to this place again.
rumble--!
Chu Feng was startled, and the roar of the plane could be heard next to his ears. He raised his head slightly, and a Boeing plane took off from the airport. It quickly rose, rose, and reached high into the clouds. The huge fuselage shrunk into a small silver bird. Draw the trajectory of the blue sky in the white clouds.
The palm of the hand holding the steering wheel was slightly sweaty, but Chu Feng felt uncomfortable in the very normal picture of the plane.
The take-off and roar of the plane made him feel scared, and he couldn't help but think about it, Xie Shiyu used to fly from a height of tens of thousands of miles...
"...The chance of survival is very low...", "No survivors can be found...", "The fuselage was already on fire when the plane crashed...", "According to the current investigation report, there is no possibility of survival. Please bear with your condolences.
" Lah--
Chu Feng suddenly stopped on the airport parking apron.
He remained silent for two seconds, obliterating all the news reports and international search and rescue teams that popped up in his mind.
He glanced at X's flight itinerary card, it was about to land. After landing, X still needs to go through immigration procedures, claim luggage, go through customs, and queue up... not so fast.
Chu Feng slowly drove the Lamborghini to the underground parking lot of the airport.
He took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and was about to light it, thinking that this is an underground parking garage, and smoking is not safe.
Withdrawing the hand holding the lighter, the cigarette just dangled.
Although Chu Feng smoked a lot in the past two years, he didn't actually have any addictions. He didn't like smoking, but only liked to smoke the cigarettes that Xie Shiyu used to smoke.
He held it quietly, feeling the bitterness of the tobacco slightly opening around his mouth, as if Xie Shiyu was still by his side.
In the past, Xie Shiyu never smoked in front of him, and he would never let him inhale second-hand smoke, but when Xie Shiyu came back from smoking, there would be a faint smell of smoke on his body and mouth, which could be tasted when he kissed and hugged.
Chu Feng stayed in the car quietly for a while. Now it's not the Spring Festival travel and the 11th travel. There are not so many people flying, and the parking lot is a bit empty.
The quiet and dark environment in the underground garage made him miss the smell of tobacco on Xie Shiyu.
Two years ago, he didn't wait for the person he most wanted to see here.
Two years later, he came here to pick up a stranger in the game. Probe for an impossible outcome.
,
"Ladies and Gentlemen, We expect to land at H city in 20 minutes..."
X put down the game headgear, and the announcement of preparation for landing sounded on the plane:
"The estimated time of arrival will be 11:30 amand the ground temperature is 27 degrees Celcius ...I would like to thank you for flying with us..."
[Chu Feng must be very angry]
X recalled that he blatantly wore the lucky brooch in Chu Feng's dream city, and smiled inwardly.
Thinking of the group of arrogant Xiao Xie in the city who proclaimed their prostitution by day and now can't plant maple trees, X felt a kind of pleasure spontaneously in his heart.
He turned his head and looked out of the window. Under the clouds were forests, lakes, and high-rise buildings. City H, where Chu Feng lived, was right under his feet.
X looked at the layout of this city, some places are a bit like Chu Feng's [Dream City]. Of course, the real city is tens of thousands of times more complicated, but this kind of real complexity... makes X inexplicably feel a little familiar
.
I don't know if it's the familiarity of the Chinese returning to the motherland, or some other sense of familiarity. Looking at the mountains and rivers and cities outside the plane window, he felt much more comfortable than seeing the same waves and beaches in the Pacific island countries. X, who had lost his memory for a long time, suddenly realized a kind of The feeling of "falling leaves returning to their roots".
,
[Motherland welcomes you]
After the plane landed, X came out of the passageway, and X saw such a sign.
He looks around. The news was broadcast on the LED high-definition screen, and the host was speaking fluent Mandarin, not the French, English, Melanesian, Polynesian, and indigenous songs he heard in the Pacific island countries.
H City International Airport does not have a lot of people, X follows the prompts step by step into the mirror to clear customs and pick up his luggage. An hour later, all the formalities were completed, and
the marble floor of the airport was bright enough to reflect people's shadows. From here, he could walk to the exit, and he could see Chu Feng.
It is known that Chu Feng is very angry now, and it is also known that Chu Feng is a person who takes the soft but not the tough at first glance...
X did not go straight forward, he turned around and walked into the bathroom with his
luggage : Restrooms for private use.
People who were queuing in the men's and women's washrooms immediately looked at the 1.9-meter-long, able-bodied man with contempt: "Why is this man
occupying the handicapped washroom with hands and feet..."
One minute Finally, the door of the disabled toilet opened.
A gaunt, bandaged man in a wheelchair came out slowly, and
the people around him were stunned.
With a completely different posture from just now, even the temperament of this person has undergone a subtle change. Just now, he was a big man with a brisk walk and more than 1.9 meters. Although the bandages were a bit strange, he still looked like a healthy person. Even the bandages wrapped around his face made this tall man even more uncomfortable. Messed up.
In just one minute, this big man transformed into a fragile and helpless disabled person in need of social care. The bandages on his face further showed that he was a shattered victim of a catastrophe. Like a Venus with a broken arm, there is a sense of fragmented tragedy all over his body, and he urgently needs the care and assistance of the society.
X completely ignored the sunshine of the passers-by around him, and slowly rowed forward in the wheelchair.
Doctors told him his leg was recovering. I need to take part of the day to walk, but I still need to use a wheelchair the rest of the time. The walking time can be gradually lengthened, but you can't walk all day at once. Gradually increasing the intensity of exercise will be more conducive to his future recovery.
X follows the doctor's advice. Now. Walking time was over, it was his wheelchair time.
,
Chu Feng was wearing Xie Shiyu's oversize sweater, and was waiting at the door aggressively.
Later, I will rush up to catch X, and ask carefully, is that prop X deliberately placed in Dreaming City to punish Xiao Xie?
Although it did not endanger Xiao Xie's life and health, it prevented Xiao Xie from planting maple trees, which seriously affected the normal life of their husband and wife!
The domineering Chu Feng stood on the spot, staring at the exit, every person who got off the plane would be baptized by his eyes.
Suddenly, a bandaged man appeared in front of his eyes!
Almost the whole face is covered, only one eye is exposed, just like in the game.
--It's X!
Different from the appearance of X carrying a gun and dismantling bombs in the game, this man is sitting in a wheelchair, sliding and moving forward slowly, forming a sharp contrast with the healthy and hurried pedestrians around him.
X was not accompanied by anyone. He had to turn the wheelchair with one hand and push his luggage with the other, and he had to be careful not to collide with the two. He was struggling to move forward, and there was no one around to help him.
The wheelchair gradually slid to the exit, where there was a raised horizontal bar.
Gada.
The wheel of the wheelchair happened to be stuck at the horizontal bar, so I couldn't get over it. Chu Feng watched as X, who was moving vigorously in the game, was imprisoned in the wheelchair of a square inch, stuck there rattling, unable to turn the wheel to row over.
Even though the distance is only half a step, it is very easy to take a step with both legs, but it has become a difficulty when sitting in a wheelchair.
The fire that had filled my stomach just now disappeared in no time. Seeing X's appearance, Chu Feng's heart suddenly throbbed with pain, and the accusations he wanted to say to X were instantly forgotten. Chu Feng walked over immediately. Pushing up X's wheelchair softly, he asked softly,
"Excuse me, are you Mr. X?"
Sitting on the wheelchair, X raised his head, glanced at Chu Feng, nodded, and
Chu Feng looked down at X. In the wheelchair, I don't have the height of 1.9 meters in the game. I don't know why X's eyes look a little pitiful, a bit like the corgi emoji that X sent in WeChat.
Like a puppy who has been wandering for many years, someone finally took him home.
"Why is there no one to accompany you?"
Chu Feng said while pushing X's wheelchair, and helping X push the luggage with the other hand, and the two came out of the airport together.
X remained silent and did not speak. He was actually escorted and picked up by a special car from the game company, but because Chu Feng would come to pick him up, he rejected the game company's arrangement.
From the moment X came out, he saw Chu Feng in the crowd. His pretty face stood out from the crowd.
In addition to feeling beautiful in the game, X also felt another strange feeling:
familiarity.
Unlike in the game, the demeanor and temperament in reality are more real, as well as Chu Feng's breath approaching him, Chu Feng's hand on his wheelchair...every place, every detail, even the clothes that Chu Feng is
wearing An oversize sweater. They all made him feel familiar, and made him feel closer than the motherland or the city.
X observed from the corner of his eye, there was a string of letters embroidered on the black sweater Chu Feng was wearing: adidas. X recalled his own memory fragments. When he and the little boy were observing the swallows, the boy was carrying a small blue schoolbag with a string of letters embroidered on it:
adidas
He didn't know if Chu Feng had ever carried this kind of schoolbag. If Chu Feng had always carried this kind of schoolbag when he was a child, there might be one or two pictures of the schoolbag in so many photos when he was a child...
Before coming to China, Chu Feng had promised to give He looked at pictures from his childhood. "Let's go, the car is parked in the underground garage."
Chu Feng pushed X's wheelchair towards the barrier-free elevator at the airport.
Dingling-- the elevator door opened, and the two of them avoided the mob crowd and went directly to the parking garage. The door of the Lamborghini is slowly lifted under the automatic remote control, welcoming the owner and another owner to ride.
X looks at the car, an old Lamborghini, expensive. As he thought, Chu Feng's financial conditions are very good. But Chu Feng's clothes today don't match this luxury car. The ordinary black sweater looks like something worn by a college student, and it's a bit too big. An old black sweater. X thought about it, this might belong to Chu Feng's husband.
After a little deduction, this Lamborghini may have been left by Chu Feng's husband. Zizi, the trunk is opened. Chu Feng first put X's luggage in. This person doesn't have much luggage, and it's actually only a suitcase after traveling thousands of miles, and it's not too heavy. It seems that life is very simple.
He originally wanted X to sit in the passenger seat, but it is really inconvenient for X to sit in a wheelchair now. Chu Feng turned on the automatic on-board system, folded the entire rear seat back, and pushed X and his wheelchair into the car.
X: "Thank you."
Chu Feng sat back in the driver's seat, smiled, and did not speak.
In their current friendly atmosphere, it is really inappropriate to mention the side effects of the item in Dream City, and X did not show any inappropriate behavior after removing the lucky brooch. He even apologized to him many times and cared whether he affected To the normal life of the couple.
Although Chu Feng still felt that X's operation was really full of charm, it was beyond reproach on the bright side. As for the lucky brooch, it was a common word, and it could be interpreted as a decoration without any other meaning.
The car starts and the Lamborghini drives forward, leaving the sad airport behind them.
Chu Feng observed X sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror. With bandages covering his face, he is physically handicapped in a wheelchair. On the surface, it can be said that he has nothing to do with the tall and strong Xie Shiyu.
When Chu Feng felt very similar.
It's hard to say how similar it is, but the temperament and demeanor that can't be felt in the game can be subtly felt in reality. .
It's a completely different feeling from the plastic surgery intern. Even though the facial features are all the same, when looking at that intern, Chu Feng can tell at a glance that it is someone else, but when looking at X, he can somehow feel... X has a charm of Xie Shiyu in his gestures and gestures. .
Chu Feng looked away from the rearview mirror. His personal feeling was too idealistic. No matter who he told him, he would feel that he was suffering from paranoia.
"Is there a place to stay?" Chu Feng asked
X while driving. He called up the arrangement given to him by the game company from his mobile phone, and found the detailed information of the hotel:
"Jinlanxing Hotel, do you need navigation?"
X was thinking Turning to the map to search, Chu Feng said:
"No need. Your company's arrangements are good. This hotel is a well-known landmark building here."
This hotel is the most upscale luxury hotel in H City, and the price is close to two to three thousand a night. With a 108-story building, the star platform and revolving restaurant on the top floor are famous all over the country.
"It's almost noon now." Chu Feng glanced at his watch, "I'll take you to the hotel to put your luggage, and we'll come out to have a meal together later."
X: "Okay."
The car was quiet.
For some reason, X feels that it is more natural to talk to Chu Feng in reality. There is a tacit understanding that they have known each other for many years. Even if there is no dialogue in silence, and they face the quiet atmosphere together, they will not feel embarrassed at all.
What also makes the X feel familiar is the car.
If the appearance of the Lamborghini sports car may be due to an advertisement somewhere or...a man's familiarity with cars, then his familiarity with the interior of this Lamborghini car cannot be explained.
This is very strange, and even began to continuously support another conjecture in his mind.
Lamborghini's car system is playing music. It's an old song: Sunny Days.
In Dream City, Chu Feng once played the piano to the song that thirteen-year-old Xiao Xie listened to.
There is a cigarette case next to the driver's seat. Just below the car music system. X has never seen the brand, or he may have seen it before, but he can't remember it now.
Next to the passenger seat, there are three tubes of Mandos candy, in the shape of vertical bars.
X has been living in the Pacific Islands and has seen Mentos, but he has not eaten much. He observed that the three vertical bars of sugar were of different flavors.
Chu Feng discovered that X was looking at the candy in the passenger seat. He glanced at it, and it was where Xie Shiyu often put candy. There were three flavors in total:
ice blue mint, yellow lemon and purple grape.
Xie Shiyu would put Chu Feng's favorite mint flavor first. , followed by my favorite lemon flavor, and finally the grape flavor that Lin Lan, who sometimes rides in this car, likes to eat.
The color order of these three sugars is fixed. In the two years since Xie Shiyu left, Chu Feng would buy new ones even if he ran out of candy, and he never changed the order. Chu Feng ate Xie Shiyu's favorite lemon flavor for him.
"Do you want to eat? Sugar."
Chu Feng turned the steering wheel and was about to arrive at the Jinlanxing Hotel where X was staying.
X shook his head lightly. Chu Feng unexpectedly insisted:
"Eat one, it's okay, you shouldn't eat much after the journey is exhausting. I'll drive, you can take it yourself."
Chu Feng slowly parked the car at the entrance of Jinlanxing Hotel.
He pretended to be parking the car seriously, but he was actually observing X's movements from the corner of his eye.
It's just a small candy, and X didn't show any politeness to him. He leaned forward and stretched out his long arm to the groove under the door handle of the passenger seat.
Faced with three flavors of Mentos candy, X chose without hesitation: yellow lemon flavor.
X poured a candy from the vertical tube, said thank you, and put the tube back in its place.
Chu Feng quietly observed his whole movements. The movements of taking sugar, pouring sugar, and eating sugar were almost carved out of the same mold as Xie Shiyu.
But this "similarity" is just his personal feeling, and there is no real evidence.
The mint flavor of the Mentos candy is a classic flavor. Even if many people don't particularly like this candy, they will most likely choose the mint flavor.
But X, who lost his memory, chose the lemon flavor without hesitation.
Chu Feng looked at X's every move more carefully. He took down X's luggage calmly, pushed the wheelchair, and walked to the hotel lobby to help X check in.
"Hello, sir. I need to pay a deposit."
X is currently a foreigner and does not have a Chinese ID card or mobile phone number. He cannot handle WeChat and Alipay payments, nor does he have a Chinese bank card.
X took out the international visa credit card: "Swipe the card."
"Hello, please sign here."
The card reader printed out a small note, X picked up the pen, and signed.
The staff at the front desk returned the signed credit card receipt in duplicate to X. Chu Feng took the initiative to collect the receipt and the room card for X.
"Let's go, I'll take you up."
Chu Feng acted enthusiastically as a landlord. He pushed X's wheelchair on one side, and X's luggage on the other hand. In his pocket was the receipt that X had just signed, as well as the room card he received, and escorted X into the elevator all the way.
In the hotel on the 108th floor, the elevator doesn't have any buttons, so you just swipe your card. Chu Feng swiped at the elevator electronics:
DIP-
the number of floors in the room jumped out of the elevator display: 88th floor.
After taking the elevator, he walked to the room number: 8878.
Chu Feng opened the door and inserted the room card into the power board.
Then he pushed in the luggage, and then pushed in the wheelchair. As for the signed receipt in his pocket, he refused to take it out and return it to X. Chu Feng asked nonchalantly, "Do you want to take a break? Let's have dinner together later
. "
X shook his head to indicate that there is no need to rest.
"Go to the bathroom," he said.
X turned the wheelchair by himself and slid into the restroom of the five-star luxury hotel, and the frosted glass automatic door slowly closed.
Chu Feng stood outside for two seconds. After confirming that X was really inside and would not come out in a short time, he immediately took out the signed credit card bill from his pocket.
X is now an overseas person with only a temporary residence permit in China. He has lost his memory again and does not know his Chinese name. His English name is signed on the credit card bill:
Xerxes
赫克西斯
Chu Feng looked at the familiar handwriting, and his heart suddenly rumbled like a spring thunder in shock.
Xie Shiyu didn't give himself an English name, he just called him Shiyu Xie, which is the same name that is signed on many English contracts.
"Xerxes" and "Shiyu Xie", the common letters on these two words are X, e, and s. Chu Feng especially observed how these three letters are written.
X is the letter with the fewest starting words among the 26 letters in English. Generally, few people will start their English name with X, unless this letter has any special meaning for X.
Xie Shiyu's thanks, the initial letter is also X
Chu Feng focused on observing the letter X. Generally speaking, when signing a signature, the first initial letter will be very large and elegant, and the subsequent letters will be connected together.
Xie Shiyu's Xie, Xerxes Xerxes, Chu Feng carefully compared the two Xs, their elegant angles, and the position of the pen...
For Chu Feng, who has seen Xie Shiyu's signature hundreds of times, it is already It can't be said that they are somewhat similar, they are exactly the same.
Chu Feng solemnly put this signature sheet into his pocket, and was going to hand it over to the handwriting identification office immediately after dinner with X, so that they could issue a scientific identification report.
Click-
the frosted glass automatic door of the bathroom slowly opened, and X came out of the bathroom.
Chu Feng had already collected the signature sheet one step ahead, with a nonchalant demeanor.
He glanced at X, and found that X might not actually go to the bathroom when he went into the bathroom, but was changing the bandages.
The bandage on his face was as white as new snow, Chu Feng thought, maybe because he was here, X didn't want him to see the disfigured skin under the bandage, so he went to the bathroom to change it.
Chu Feng didn't say much either. He pushed the wheelchair and took the elevator downstairs. When he went out, he pulled out the room card and handed it back to X. He still hid the signature of the bill in his pocket, pretending that he had forgotten to give it to X.
Come to think of it, X probably didn't notice such tiny details.
,
The elevator is gradually descending.
X didn't pay attention to the details like Chu Feng thought. He observed that Chu Feng put the signed bill into his pocket from the moment he signed it, and never returned it to him.
Chu Feng's financial conditions are very superior, so it is impossible to extract any money information from his bills.
Then, there is only one reason for Chu Feng to keep this bill: his signature.
More precisely, his handwriting.
X began to feel keenly that Chu Feng actually had doubts about him, so he did not hesitate to come to pick him up at the sad airport in person, and even stole his autograph.
Handwriting comparison is also evidence to identify a person.
The number of elevators is about to drop to the first floor.
Chu Feng faintly suppressed his uncontrollable joy and joy.
He observed the handwriting on X's body, his preference for eating candy, and various words and deeds, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt the same.
But this may be because he has already made a presupposition of expectation in his heart, so he is more and more inclined to a conclusion that is conducive to this expectation.
The real final word is the DNA. The DNA of X must be collected. Whether it is true or not, it must be proved by scientific evidence. If not. Then everything he is doing now is like a useless temptation.
Even though I knew it was useless, I still wanted to do it excitedly. Chu Feng has already imagined in his heart how to test X in the future, how many small habits and preferences Xie Shiyu has, and see if X has similar ones.
Dingling bells-
the elevator stopped on level 1, and they walked to the parking lot.
Chu Feng is going to take X to Xie Shiyu's favorite restaurant for dinner.
Just now X picked Xie Shiyu's favorite flavor from the three mandos candies. In addition to signature and handwriting, a person's food preference is also a criterion for positioning.
"Sit in first."
Chu Feng pushed X's wheelchair into the rear seat, then sat back in the driver's seat, and started the car.
Out of a certain tentative psychology, Chu Feng glanced at the Mandos candy in the passenger seat.
The candy was placed in the groove under the door handle of the passenger seat. With his current position in the driver's seat, he stretched it out, and it was a little out of reach.
Chu Feng glanced at X in the back seat, and while driving out of the parking lot, he said very casually,
"Can you get some candy for me?"
Chu Feng deliberately didn't say what flavor he wanted.
Before the car leaves the parking lot, you need to pay the parking fee. There is a lever at the exit, and it is clearly written: one car, one pole.
The car was parked in front of the crossbar, the window of the driver's seat was opened, and there was an automatic payment machine outside. A QR code popped up. Chu Feng turned on his phone, scanned the code to pay, and pretended to be busy paying the toll, and had no time to get candies.
X in the back seat didn't ask Chu Feng what kind of candy he wanted. He stretched out his hand, stretched his long arm, took a piece of candy, and handed it to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng looked sideways, and what X brought him was a mint-flavored Mentos candy.
It's his favorite flavor.
