Chapter 94
Chapter 95: Liberty Ii
, As a secretary with a high salary, she is always responsible for wiping the boss’s ass, although she doesn’t actually know why the boss acts as if he has met a long-lost relative.
If it weren’t for the age difference between the two, the secretary would have suspected that the little girl was the boss’s illegitimate daughter.
Mr. Zhao, who is very popular in shopping malls and can chat and laugh with anyone, is now so nervous as if his tongue was bitten off by a cat.
Do people have past and present lives? Maybe many people don’t think so, but Zhao Duanze thinks there is, because he is different from other people since he was sensible. During the day, he is the child of Zhao’s family, a wealthy businessman in the Shanghai market, studying various modern courses, and at night in his dreams, He became Zhao Duanze, the eldest young master of the Zhao family in Jincheng.
He consulted doctors and many mysterious “masters” for this. In the end, he felt that the persistent and overly clear world in the dream was his past life. For some reason, he experienced Two different lives.
For him, the thing he remembers most is his sister in the dream world. She was kidnapped because of his ignorance when she was young, and when she came back, she became deaf, dumb and weak. , After the death of their parents, they depended on each other for life, jointly propped up the Zhao family’s business, and were closer than ordinary siblings.
, his parents thought he was sick.
Especially when he was in his twenties, the death of his younger sister in his dreams made him unacceptable. After waking up, he searched all the deaf and dumb schools in the country, hoping to find a new life in this world back to my sister.
In the dream world, he, Sheng Shuxu and Wei She escaped and returned to Zhao’s house. A wealthy businessman, he did everything well, but his sister could never come back to him.
He thought that he would never find that frail but steadfast sister who was smart and good at calligraphy. Who would have thought that Liu Anhuaming, it was just such a coincidence that this time, after a sudden rise and a trip, I actually met her!
At this time, Zhao Duanze was so excited that he had already determined that the little girl in front of him was his dream sister. This sitting posture, this posture of holding water, this contemplative bearing, even if they look different, he just knows that this must be his sister Zhao Tingzhi!
If he hadn’t already grown up, had a successful career, and claimed to be a mature man, Zhao Duanze would have almost cried with joy.
Compared with Zhao Duanze’s uncontrollable excitement, Mercury seemed much calmer.
Is she happy to see her old friend again? Naturally she is happy, but this happiness is mixed with a natural vigilance, as if some kind of innate sense of hers made her vigilant.
When I come back to you again, after the unbelievably happy nostalgia, it is inevitable that all kinds of doubts will arise in my heart.
Mercury has experienced many worlds. She has always defined these worlds as “false worlds”. Although they experience very real, they are not her life, so she has always given Insinuate yourself so as not to indulge yourself completely.
Nowadays, the characters she identifies as the existence of the false world appear in the world she defines as “real”, how should she define the true and false?
Looking at Zhao Duanze’s unpretentious face, full of joy, excitement and concern, the familiar face she had called her brother for many years, there was a sense of ice behind the mercury.
She made the calmest and cruelest answer to her question in her heart: This world is also false.
The truth and falsity of the world is an ideal proposition. Most people don’t think about this issue, and they don’t think they are fake, just like Zhao Duanze now, he really exists and has truth Feelings.
He only thought that he was a lucky one who had two world memories by chance and was lucky enough to reunite with his sister in his previous life. He recalled the scene when he saw his sister just now, and he had already decided to take her away from this bad situation. environment, give her the best of everything, and let her live a happy life.
“Maybe you won’t believe it easily, but I used to be your brother, don’t be afraid, I will protect you and treat you well in the future.” Zhao Duanze tried his best to show his credibility and amiability. He reported his name and identity, the company and assets he owned, his family status, and finally made a request.
“Can I be your supporter? Don’t worry, as long as you want, you don’t need to think about anything, I can do it!”
For fear that she would not agree, he called in the secretary and asked her to call the parents of the Zhao family, saying that she had found her sister to take back, and decided on the spot to establish a growth fund for her. The son gave her money to express his sincerity.
Mercury watched him look so happy in silence, thinking of how good and accommodating this brother had been to her in those years. He changed from a teenager to a young man, from a silly boy to being able to stand on his own. She witnessed it personally. When she left the world in a hurry, she finally saw his grief, and she still remembers it.
“Will you… come home with me?”
For a long time, Mercury said with a sigh, “Okay.”
She was brought back to Shanghai by Zhao Duanze. This is a fashionable metropolis. Unlike the county where she was before, there are electronic billboards everywhere.
The two were sitting in the car, passing the elevated road, Zhao Duanze said with a smile and said to take her home for dinner later, but Mercury looked at a billboard outside the window, his eyes stopped.
On the billboard is a bright and moving actress, with a bright and bright smile, as if watching everyone in the past.
This is also a face she used to be very familiar with. This child was always uneasy when she was a child, and she liked to squeeze into her bed and talk to her in random whispers when she was young. When she left, she Said to be a star, and now in this world, she has successfully done it.
Mercury looked at her, silent for a long time.
Zhao Duanze noticed her strangeness and saw the billboard, “Do you like this star? I remember her name seems to be Yaoxin, very popular, but I don’t pay attention to this, if you like it , I’ll take you to the crew to see her next time, and ask her to sign an autograph, okay?”
As he spoke, he saw his sister, who had always been calm and calm, looked at him with a tear on his cheek. There was no expression on her face, no grief, so it seemed that this tear was very abrupt and inexplicable.
Zhao Duanze seldom saw her cry in his dreams. He was startled. He carefully leaned over to observe her expression and asked, “What’s wrong with you? Are you unhappy?”
Mercury said to him slowly: “I’m sorry.”
She probably understands what this world will be like, maybe as long as she stays here, in addition to Zhao Duanze and Yaoxin, there are countless people who make her feel nostalgic during the journey.
But-
——Sorry, I can’t choose you, I can’t choose this world.
Zhao Duanze didn’t know, so he patted her hand to reassure: “it’s okay, I forgive you, no matter what you do, brother won’t blame you.”
Mercury said again: “Let’s take a boat, then go eat fish, and watch the fireworks at night, okay?”
Zhao Duanze naturally said everything. After his sister returned to him, it was the first time he took the initiative to say what he wanted. Of course he wanted to be satisfied, and he also understood a little.
It was a good day, but it became the source of his pain, and he wished he hadn’t taken his sister out countless times.
Now she took the initiative to bring this up, as if to make up for his original pain, what makes Zhao Duanze even more happy is that her sister arranged this way, does it mean that she, like him, also has an incredible past life? Does she remember too?
Building ships turned into modern ships, red leaves on both sides of the strait turned into high-rise buildings, restaurants became high-rise hotels, and finally Zhao Duanze drove his sister to the river bank to watch a fireworks show.
When the fireworks were finished, Mercury said, “Go home.”
Zhao Duanze took her home smoothly all the way. When he got off the car, he touched his sister’s head, and his red eyes revealed his excitement.
“I can finally take you home.”
Mercury hugged him, “Well, I’m home, brother.”
It’s time for me to go home too, bye.
She could feel a slight distortion in the world around her, Zhao Duanze’s smiling face seemed to freeze at once, the whole world freezes, the scent of flowers in her nose, the sounds she heard in her ears, Every inch is peeled off by the senses.
…
Sudden feeling of falling——
Mercury’s eyes were hazy, and it took a long time for the world to become clear.
The clear world begins with the starry sky-shaped floor lamp at the bedside, which she accidentally saw when she was shopping in the mall and thought she liked to buy it. The dim light inside made it extra warm.
She sat on the edge of the bed, her feet on the plush dark coffee carpet, and she was wearing the familiar silk nightdress. White and slender hands resting on the gray bed. She raised her fingertips and brushed the dark spots on her nightgown because of the splashes of water, and she stood up.
The body walked to the wine cabinet as if it had its own consciousness, and took out one of them. Then she sat on the bar, opened a drink in a somewhat rusty manner, added ice, and turned to look out the window at the hustle and bustle of the city at night.
This is a high-end apartment she bought, it belongs to her alone, and this body really belongs to her, about to turn 30 years old, it still looks like a flower in full bloom and age.
Is she really back? Is this world real?
Mercury touched the cool water droplets on the wall of the wine glass. After waiting for a long time, she did not wait for the sound of the system or the appearance of the plot. Her mind was quiet.
Perhaps she shouldn’t say quiet, countless complicated thoughts collide in vain in her mind, like a small ball that can’t find an exit.
She drank the wine in one gulp, opened the refrigerator, saw a jar of honey inside, opened it and took a sip. Too sweet and a little greasy.
She went to the dresser again, opened a bottle of perfume and sprayed it, and the air was immediately filled with a fragrant aroma.
Finally, she touched the blade with her finger and looked at the red blood beads gushing from it, feeling the real pain.
Blood drops on the ground.
Mercury recovered, laughed at herself, took out a Band-Aid and put it on her wound.
