14 years time difference

Chapter 105 24-3

In 2020, in Jincheng.

Lin Zhique just passed his 28th birthday, and if you count the half a year spent in another time and space, he should be almost 29 years old.

Duce is 26 and a half years old.

They stayed together all day long, opened their eyes and saw the same morning light every day, hugged, kissed, lingered, and sometimes just held hands and chatted.Du Siren feels that getting along is as important as intimate contact. She is keen to eat with Lin Zhique, do housework together, or stay quietly aside while Lin Zhique is working.

The new crown epidemic is raging, and everyone is locked down. Dusi people want to sneak out to let the wind go. Lin Zhique threatens her: "If you are infected, and you bring the virus back to 2011, you will be a sinner through the ages."

Not letting her go out, she immediately developed a new hobby - playing with mobile phones.

Although she dismissed Lin Zhique's iPhone 11 pro at first and insisted on playing with her iPhone 4, Lin Zhique asked what do you play on it?She said I played Angry Birds, you haven't played it, have you? Post-90s, little kids.

As a result, after half an hour, Lin Zhique came out of the room to drink water, and found her lying on the sofa, swiping Douyin intently.Seeing Lin Zhique coming, she hurriedly held it up in front of her to show her, and said, look at this, it makes me laugh so hard.

Lin Zhique: How is it?The toys here are not bad, big sister born in the 80s.

Not bad!The Dusi people repeatedly said yes.What did you call me just now?Can I call again?

Lin Zhique drank the water, raised his foot to kick her, and before he left, he bent down and kissed her again.

The next day, Jingdong Express delivered a new mobile phone. Du Siren was shocked, so she fell in love with online shopping again, and was keen to buy a lot of daily necessities. Buy it as a warehouse.

She watched Internet TV and found the latest version of "I Have a Date with Spring" to watch, saying that she wanted to recall the past. After watching it for a while, she frowned and asked, why was the heroine changed?

Lin Zhique was working overtime with his laptop in his arms, and raised his eyelids to take a look.Changed heroine?Wasn't it because of an explosion on the set that the original heroine resigned?

Dusi people are confused.No?Some time ago when they wrapped up, Miaomiao even sent me flowers.

Lin Zhique stopped what he was doing and looked up at her.She asked, what's wrong?Lin Zhique shook his head and said it was all right, then got up and moved to her side, leaning against her to sit.

She dances at home, and there are often all kinds of new popular moves on the short video platform. She will watch it once or twice, shoot faceless videos and upload them, and occasionally find an old song and make up a few moves on a whim, and soon there will be With a small number of [-] fans, mcn contacted her and asked her if she wanted to be a professional internet celebrity.One day, a comment suddenly appeared under her video, which read: "I really feel like you are alone. If that person hadn't been away for many years, I would have almost admitted my mistake. I met on TV when I was very young That person, for a long time, I felt that she was my light. Although it may not be very polite, but can I treat you as her? This way, I can tell myself that she is not gone, she is just incognito, in Some corner of the world is alive and well."

Du Siren told Lin Zhique all the things that happened after 2008 bit by bit, and frankly told all the frustrations. Lin Zhique didn't comment too much, but he never hesitated to hug her and play various games with her. In the childish drama between lovers, she pretended to be wronged, and she coaxed her tirelessly over and over again.She seems to have turned her head from a dead end, realizing that everything is just the most common predicament, and she is still running on the right track. If she falls into the lowest valley, there is an embrace to turn around, then the lowest valley is nothing horrible.

At the end of February, the pace of urban life gradually recovered, shops opened, and office buildings resumed operation. Lin Zhique still stayed at home to work most of the time, and only occasionally went to the company for meetings.

One day, Du Siren was alone at home when he received a phone call.

Her iPhone4 rang.

Li Miaomiao's name was displayed on the screen, and she was dumbfounded in fright. She rang once and dialed again on the other side.

She took it.

It's something about work.

She responded humbly, and at the end, she pretended to ask casually: "What date is it today?"

"Today? February 2."

She jumped up off the couch.She didn't dare to open the door, fearing that she would never come back once she went out, so she leaned close to the balcony door, stretched her neck, and saw that the propaganda banner "Epidemic prevention is an order" was still hanging on the bulletin board downstairs.

She received a call from 2020 in 2011.

Lin Zhique immediately rushed back from the company.

The signal of the iPhone 4 disappeared again, and this phone card has already been deactivated in 2020 due to arrears.

They looked at each other for a while, and Lin Zhique said, "Our company is about six kilometers away from here. It's 11:30 now, and I've been away from home for two hours."

After several tests, they came to the conclusion that Lin Zhique was the only link between her and the world, if the distance was too far and the time was too long, she might be disconnected.Once she even called Lu Xiaohua, Lu Xiaohua said you are in Jincheng?Where?I'm driving to find you.

"It's not fair, why can you go wherever you want when you're there?"

"There are many possibilities. For example, I know other people besides you over there, for example, the other me is still alive. Besides, you are a person who does not exist in this world, or a celebrity, and your face appears Outside, people will think that you are hitting a ghost." Lin Zhique said, "That's good, at least we know how you should go back."

go back.

None of them had brought up the subject recently.

Lin Zhique bought Du Siren a new scarf and a new fisherman hat, ordered her to dress up in disguise, and took her out for a walk.Everyone outside was wearing a mask, which made her unobtrusive. Only when she bowed her head and walked out of the gate of the community, the guard gave her a few extra glances.

They went to the Academy of Art, and the school started late, so the campus was sparsely populated and the weather was clear, but Girl Mountain could no longer be seen from any angle. The city expanded to an unknown distance, and there were strange buildings in the distance.

People from Dusi lamented: things are not people!

Lin Zhique said, not all of them, some things are still there.

They happened to walk to the downstairs of the dormitory where the Dusi people used to live. The pickup truck had just driven away, and the aroma of baking was overflowing, and a new oven came from the bakery.

Du Siren lowered his head, went to the low and narrow window of the bakery, and bought two steaming red bean buns.

The aunt in the bakery glanced at her, then leaned closer to the window to look at her intently, and said, "I remember you! Have you graduated for many years?"

She bent the eyes exposed between the mask and the hat, "Auntie, you have misidentified the person."

"I'm not mistaken. You used to live in this building. You graduated from the first class, right? Let me think about what year it was, oh, yes, 2005! It's time to think back to school Is work going well?" Auntie put two of the largest and roundest red bean bags into a plastic bag, "I remember you used to dislike red bean bags the most. Do you want bread with scallion oil? I just came here."

Dusi just smiled and replied: "The work is not going well. But it will be better soon."

They went back to the car to eat, but Lin Zhique took a few bites and didn't get any red bean stuffing. The price soared, and the ingredients of the red bean buns shrank accordingly, and his heart became longer and more biased. Du Siren broke his own one Come on, take the sweet and dense filling and exchange it with Lin Zhique for Wuxin bread.

Later, they went to another place.On the outskirts of the city.

The huge cemetery was desolate, and no one came to visit.They walked past rows of engraved tablets.

The Dusi people stood in front of another tomb of themselves, speechless for a long time.

Words are engraved on the tablet.Daughter, from Dusi, 1984.8.31-2011.11.29.

There are three tombs in a row, and Du Jingguang and Ren Jie are buried beside her.

Du Siren whispered, "You didn't tell me." She turned to look at Lin Zhique with a broken expression, "You didn't tell me, my parents are going to die soon."

"Your mother left because of you. Because she was too sad." Lin Zhique took Du Siren's arm.

"Then, what if fate has to be changed? What if I survive and my mother dies?" She looked at the year of Ren Jie's death, "2012. If I don't go back, 2012 will be It's not coming, is it?"

of course not.Time is still advancing on everyone's track, only she is hiding here alone, hiding beside Lin Zhique.

She turned around and hid in Lin Zhique's arms, and said nothing in a muffled voice.

Lin Zhique stroked her back and said to her: "Death is not fate, death is just the end. Your mother will die, you will die, and I will die too. There is no choice, no change. The place between the beginning and the end A period is called destiny, and a choice is called destiny.”

They stood in the desolate cemetery, silently embracing, the cold wind came from the north, and swayed past the engraved steles.These carvings are not meaningful. Sooner or later, they will be smoothed and become wordless monuments, shapeless monuments, and then become a stone under the riverbed of time. The stone is broken and turned into broken sand.

After a long time, the Dusi people said, "Let's go."

She took one last look at the tombstone with her name engraved on it.

They headed for the exit.Du Siren walked in front, holding Lin Zhique's hand.

She suddenly turned her head and said, "You don't like people who run away, do you?"

Lin Zhique replied: "Stop using me as an excuse."

Dusi laughed, "Okay. I don't like running away myself."

She will eventually return to her battlefield.

In March 2020, one of the most ordinary afternoons, Lin Zhique came out of the room. Du Siren was lying on the sofa with earphones in his ears. He raised his eyes and said, "I'm listening to a private FM." She repeated it: "Siren FM." She laughed after she finished speaking, "There is a very nice song."

"What song is it?"

Dusi moved his body to free up half of the sofa.

Lin Zhique lay down beside her.

The sofa was not wide enough, and they were lying face to face, tightly attached to each other.

Du Siren stuffed an earphone into Lin Zhique's ear.

"Can I have the day with you?" This is the name of the song.

They kissed on the sofa, broken and long kisses, and then fell asleep together again.Lin Zhique closed his eyes, said that you are not allowed to sleep, and scratched Du Siren's side like a demon. Du Siren laughed endlessly and woke up completely, so he had to take extraordinary measures to fight back.

The day of parting is also common.

That day, Du Siren stood at the porch to see Lin Zhique out, and obediently brought her a coat, bag and car keys, asked her if she was dressed like this, and said she looked good today.

They kiss goodbye.

Lin Zhique was sure that when he got home, the key had only been turned halfway in the lock, and the door would be opened, and then Dusi's round eyes would eagerly pop out from behind the door.

Maybe not today, but someday in the future.

It is certain that one day will come.

She closed the door, turned around and went downstairs, walking into the future without looking back.

They made an appointment to meet again in the future.
