Chapter 9: Dream Desserts That Erode Memory 5
The difficult day finally passed. When school was over in the evening, I couldn't wait to pull Xia Youshu's hand and leave the classroom.
Under the beautiful sunset, we walked home together. The golden sunlight shone on us, casting beautiful silhouettes on the wide road. I stared at the shadows on the ground in a trance, and suddenly said, "Youshu, I feel so weird today!"
"Strange?" He held my hand tightly, "What's strange?"
I shook my head: "I don't know... I always have strange images flashing through my mind, and sometimes, I think you are someone else... What's wrong with me?"
Yushu was silent for a while, then raised his usual gentle smile: "Maybe you didn't get enough rest at night, okay? Don't stay up late, go to bed early , and don't make me worry."
Although there was a voice inside me telling me that this was not the case, I still decided to believe him.
"Well, okay..." I nodded, but before I could finish my words, a roar came from far away and rushed towards us.
A black extended Lincoln drove over and stopped in front of us. Xia Youtian opened the door and shouted to us, "Hey! Brother, Zhencheng, let's go together!"
Xia Youshu and I looked at each other and saw the headache on each other's faces.
five minutes later--
I sat in the middle of the back seat of the car with a tense face, as if facing a great enemy.
The two brothers Xia Youshu and Xia Youtian sat beside me. Compared with Xia Youshu's leisurely and comfortable mood, Xia Youtian looked at me curiously, as if I were some rare toy.
After a while, he came closer to me in a sly manner.
"Hey! Zhencheng, I still don't believe what you said at noon... Tell me the truth, how did you fall in love with my brother?"
Xia Youshu didn't expect him to ask such a question, and his face suddenly darkened: "Youtian!"
I shook my head, thinking there was nothing to be shy about: "Since you want to know so much, then I'll tell you!"
I proudly counted on my fingers, counting the tender moments between us one by one.
"During the college celebration, just because I complained that it was not fun, Youshu joined forces with seniors to petition the chairman, which made me spend a very unforgettable college celebration, haha!"
"Also, when he was tutoring me in math, he was so cute when he went crazy!"
"Well... and Yuuki is really amazing. He can do everything I can't do, such as swimming, horse riding, fencing... He is totally an all-rounder."
…
The more I spoke, the more excited I became, completely immersed in the beautiful memories of the past, and I didn't notice that Xia Youshu and Xia Youtian beside me suddenly became quiet.
"...That's why I like Youshu so much!" After saying the last sentence, I looked up with an unsatisfied look, but saw Xia Youtian's serious face.
Although he looks exactly like Youshu, I have never seen Xia Youtian with such an expression, which made me stunned.
Xia Youtian looked at me, then at his brother, and suddenly took a breath: "Zhencheng, so you are..."
"Youtian, stop talking."
Yuuki's gentle voice came to my ears, with unquestionable firmness.
I turned around and saw Youshu beside me looking so sad and lost, but he still forced a smile at me, patted my head and said, "This topic is too boring, Zhencheng, let's go home."
Xia Youtian on the opposite side seemed to have a lot to say, but he just moved his mouth and said nothing in the end.
strangeness!
really weird!
Everything that happened today has left me confused, as if my sweetness and happiness were all fake. Everyone is pointing fingers, but I really like Xia Youshu! I remember every detail of my time with him, but why did he look so lost in the end?
Ah... I'm so annoyed. I really want to borrow my mother's loud voice to yell out all the messy worries in my heart!
Forget it. I will definitely get complained about if I do that. I'd better be a good boy and take a shower first.
"Let us live together in this world and live a carefree life..."
"You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth!"
"I really want to live another 500 years..."
Suddenly, a roar like a lion's roar came through the wall.
"Zhen Cheng! What were you yelling about while you were taking a shower?"
Ah! It's mom!
I shut my mouth, quickly finished my shower, wrapped myself in a bath towel, and returned to the room wiping my wet short hair.
As soon as I entered the door, I found that my cell phone was vibrating wildly and making a "buzzing" sound.
"Who is looking for me at this time?"
I picked up my phone and saw that it wasn’t someone sending me a message. Instead, what appeared before my eyes was a magnificent pet nest!
A beautiful sofa, a scary-sized bookcase, a huge dark desk... I seem to have seen this kind of furnishings somewhere before. But where?
"Huh? When did I download this game?" I reached out curiously and poked the cartoon man pasted on the corner of the wall.
He was so cute, with his round body wrapped in luxurious black striped pajamas, brown hair, big eyes, distinct eyelashes, and a very small and cute nose and mouth. However, his expression now was one of fear and shyness, and his eyes were staring straight at me.
"ah!"
"ah!"
I didn’t expect that this guy could actually make a sound?
I couldn't help but feel curious and decided to study it carefully.
"Why the hell are you dressed like that!"
"What else can I wear when I just took a shower?" I answered subconsciously, "Wow! You can talk? This mobile pet is so smart!"
"Zhen Cheng! Are you out of your mind?" He was so angry that his face turned red. "If I wasn't so shocked that I went back to my phone, I really wanted to knock your head open to see! Are you tired of living that you dare to throw yourself into Xia Youshu's arms?"
I opened my mouth and pointed at his face in surprise: "Ah! You still know about me and Yushu?"
Suddenly, the phone became so hot that I could hardly hold it and quickly dropped it on the bed.
I don't know why, but when talking about Yushu, this cute cartoon character becomes very angry, his eyes wide open: "Zhencheng! What nonsense are you talking about! If you do this again, I will be really angry!"
"Ah! You know my name! Who the hell are you?"
He looked at me in shock: "I...I'm Xi Yase! Zhen Cheng, what's wrong with you?"
Hi Arthur?
Ah, I remember this name. Isn't he the boy who suddenly stopped me this morning? But how did he appear in my phone?
"No, you're definitely not the person I thought you were. Even though you look a bit like him, you're not a real person. You're just a pet in the game!"
"A pet in the game setting?"
“Boom!”
Outside the window, a flash of silver lightning cut through the darkness, followed by a loud thunder, and raindrops hit the window "pa pa".
"Asshole, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly forget that I'm your boyfriend?"
His words shocked me more than thunder. He was clearly just a mobile phone pet, but he even knew about "boyfriend"!
I don't know why, but I suddenly felt irritated, as if the raindrops outside the window were hitting me. In an instant, the gossips about the girls in the college flooded into my mind like a tide.
Please, my boyfriend is Yuuki...it's always been him!
"Why is everyone asking me what's wrong? I'm fine, nothing happened!" I couldn't help but yell, "This is so weird, now even the mobile pet is questioning me?"
Xi Yaser looked at me quietly, his voice became low, with a hint of uneasiness: “But...you forgot me.”
The window was blown open by the strong wind, and specks of rain drifted in. The winter rain was so cold, I walked over to close the window, and a gust of cold wind blew over, as if I fell into an ice cave.
Although this game is beautifully made and this cute little guy can actually talk to people like a real person, I would never play this kind of game under normal circumstances, I swear!
"I really forgot when I downloaded this game! It's so strange, I never remember liking pet training!" I raised my phone and tried hard to explain to him.
What the hell...Zhencheng, what are you doing, reasoning with a Tamagotchi?
"You still can't remember? I am the real Xia Arthur, trapped in your phone!" He rushed to the screen and slapped the barrier with his hands in vain.
“Boom!”
Another thunder sounded, and a beam of light like lightning flashed through my mind. I wanted to recall something, but suddenly I became dizzy and couldn't think at all.
"Listen carefully! Zhen Cheng! Last time, I used up a lot of my energy to save you. We're not close enough now, so I can only live inside my phone. I can't go out during this period of time! And...if I don't unlock it within fifteen days, I will be locked in my phone forever!"
This guy...speaks as if it were true...
Although I didn't believe a word of it, for some reason, when I heard that he would be locked in the phone forever, my heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.
"how so……"
My head felt like it was about to explode. I felt like I was trapped by something and couldn't think at all.
"Zhen Cheng! Remember me!" He shouted at me desperately across the screen, "The person you like is me!"
I bit my lips tightly, and my heart felt like there was a big hole in it, empty.
No, the person I like is Xia Youshu, he is the one who cares about me the most... Zhencheng, don't be fooled by some strange feelings, I should believe in my memory, that is the truth!
This guy... I don't know who designed it. No matter how much it looks like a human, it's just a mobile phone pet.
"It's so annoying! I will never play this game again!" Finally, I made a decision. While Xia Arthur was still in shock, I pressed the power button irritably and threw the phone into the drawer.
However, I still couldn't sleep until late at night. I don't know why, but the "Hsia Arthur" in the phone made me very concerned. The more I wanted to put him out of my mind, the more I couldn't help thinking about him.
I stared at the ceiling irritably, and felt a chill on my face.
I reached out my hand to wipe it, but I felt wet water droplets and was stunned.
Why did I shed so many tears without realizing it?
