Seven years after my death, the male protagonist of the substitute novel was criticized

Chapter 34 Night Video

Surfing is not easy to learn, Lin Lu can testify.

She put a lot of effort just to paddle on the bodyboard, and she finally got used to the movements by pretending to paddle on dry land. But once she got into the water, she couldn't even keep her body steady.

She felt like a fried small yellow croaker, swaying left and right on the narrow board. Before she could catch the waves, she fell into the water with a splash.

She fell once, and the third time she swore that she would never fall again. In order to prove her guilt, when the surfboard began to shake unbalancedly, she held on to the edge with both hands and her feet held on to the lower part.

Then the surfboard flipped over, and she was covered tightly in the water, clinging to the edge of the board, like a bat with its limbs tied up and being roasted.

Pei Yizhou and coach: "..."

Lin Lu hated the feeling of suffocation when submerged in water. It made her brain ache. After climbing out of the water, she felt hopeless and said she didn't want to learn anymore.

“Everyone has things they are not good at. The important thing is to learn to give up.”

She packed up and handed the surfboard to Pei Yizhou: "It's yours. It's one of our family's assets. Although it's not the right time yet, I unilaterally give up my right to inherit this property."

Pei Yizhou was helpless. Which man would use a surfboard with a naked Crayon Shin-chan pictured on it?
But since it was the family property, he took the surfboard without complaint and led this other property, which made his hands and feet weak, back to the hotel.

In order to avoid meeting Lan Jia again, they had lunch and dinner in the room.

Seeing that she still had a bitter face during the meal, Pei Yizhou comforted her softly: "Take your time. If you really like it, we can stay here until you learn it."

Lin Lu was surprised: "But Lan Jia works here."

She thought Pei Yizhou would take her away from here and find another place where they had no acquaintances to go on vacation.

That's why she wanted to see the results of learning surfing in just one afternoon.

Pei Yizhou seemed to have known her thoughts long ago, and he looked at her with such gentle eyes, as if he was looking at a poor child who happily said she was not hungry just to show consideration for her poor mother.

"It's okay. I'll have someone find out what she does for a living. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be staying here temporarily. Even if not, I'll find a way to avoid the possibility of seeing her. You just need to enjoy your stay here."

Lin Lu nodded, indicating that he believed in his ability to make money.

She didn't want to change places and go on vacation, but she had to hide around like a guilty thief because of her own affairs, which was bound to make people feel unhappy.

"But don't run around tonight." Pei Yizhou said again.

She nodded obediently again, thinking that she didn't have the strength to run anymore. After two days of high-intensity exercise, she had to take a break tonight.

I also need to find an opportunity to video chat with Duan Chengyu.

—

Considering that the brother and sister's rooms are right next door and the sound insulation of this place is not very good, so before the video call, Lin Lu sent three agreements to Duan Chengyu.

[First, I can't speak, at least not in long sentences, please bear with me.]

【2. The video time cannot exceed half an hour. 】

【3. If I start talking loudly, you should keep silent.】

Duan Chengyu: […We should be doing this video for serious matters?]

The more you talk about it, the more it sounds like an affair.

【Extraordinary times require extraordinary treatment.】

Lin Lu was very cautious. She knew Pei Yizhou. If he questioned her again, they would definitely not be able to enjoy this vacation.

For the sake of family harmony, she had no choice but to let Duan Chengyu make some sacrifices.

It was not yet 23:00, and Lin Lu said good night to Pei Yizhou as usual, closed the door, and got into bed to go to sleep.

After lying down for a while, she heard Pei Yizhou also return to the room, then she quietly turned on the bedside lamp, put on headphones, and made a video call to Duan Chengyu. She tried to associate this matter with something serious, proper, and worthy of attention, but when Duan Chengyu's face appeared on the phone interface, she still felt very strange.

"..." After a few seconds of silence, Lin Lu pursed his lips and said politely in a very low voice, "Good evening."

"Good evening." Duan Chengyu couldn't help but chuckle.

The weird, awkward feeling got worse.

Lin Lu began to wonder if his decision was a big mistake.

When they met before, both of them were at a safe distance. When they looked at each other, the first thing they saw was the whole person's body shape, and then the face. They just glanced at it quickly, so there was nothing wrong.

Now the video has enlarged the two people's faces, and the distance between them feels instantly shortened, as if they are chest to chest. As long as you look at the screen, you are staring at that face, and you cannot escape the gaze of the other person's eyes.

For example, she noticed at a glance that Duan Chengyu's hair was slightly wet and there was a very faint mole on the bridge of his nose.

This really doesn't seem like a serious way to talk about things.

Lin Lu's eyes wandered, speeding up the conversation: "If you have anything to say, say it."

"Okay, I'll report my recent work to Miss Lin right away."

"..."

His voice was serious. "I have repeatedly compared our itineraries with the special events around the world on November 11th that you mentioned, and I didn't find anything strange. Not even a comet passed by the earth that day."

"Then I summarized the frequency, time, and content of my dreams. They were all fragmented, with only your face being clear. But if I had to compare, the second 'rejection reaction' was not as severe, and I was more aware of your emotions in the dream."

"But at the moment our dreams don't overlap."

Lin Lu nodded as she listened, and when she saw him stop, she raised her chin to signal him to continue.

Duan Chengyu started laughing again.

He laughed and said, "The scientific principle couldn't explain it clearly, so I looked up some strange stories and found a similar story on the Sub-Science Forum - it was made up by the author of the novel. But I think that statement makes some sense."

"What's that?" she asked silently.

Duan Chengyu said more seriously: "Parallel worlds, you should have heard of them? It is a setting that is often used in movies, TV series and science fiction novels. Most people believe that dreams are the channel that connects the two worlds."

Lin Lu closed his eyes and sighed.

Of course she had this idea. After all, she had even experienced time travel, so the parallel world was as natural as a bonus.

However, these science fiction conjectures that are not recognized by the scientific community are still too much for her, an old-fashioned human being born in 2015.

She thought about it, not daring to say a long sentence, and typed a reply: [The question is, we live a normal life in this world, how is it possible to have completely unfamiliar experiences in a parallel world? ]

[If you say it is a reappearance of memories from a previous life, I might be more willing to believe it. ]

Duan Chengyu read the message and said subtly, "My next explanation is based on a similar principle. In Chinese history, the view of parallel worlds is roughly equivalent to the previous life. In addition to the person abroad, I also found a middle-aged man in China who claimed to remember that he died young fighting floods and disaster relief in his previous life. He said the reason is easy to explain, because the shelf life of Mengpo Soup is as unreliable as food safety today."

“……”Lin Lu’s speechless expression is comparable to that of Squidward.

Duan Chengyu laughed again and again. Because he was very close to the phone, the slight humming and vibration from his nose seemed to be right next to her pillow.

In this closed room, the deep laughter was like fuel, making her realize that something was wrong again.

　The code has been exposed.

　　However, the tabloid reporter was informed by his superiors that the updates for the next two days still needed to be compressed, so there would only be one chapter.

　　But at the same time, I really need everyone to follow me. Please forgive me.
