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

Chapter 40 Undercurrent
The brother and sister returned to the way they got along many years ago.

At a small dining table, two people should sit diagonally opposite each other; when walking side by side, the distance between their elbows should be such that they will never touch each other; and never let two people peel the same tomato.

However, compared to the past, both of them have matured a lot and do not show their emotions on their faces. There is no change in the tone of Lin Lu's voice when he calls him brother, and Pei Yizhou does not say a single extra word when urging them to eat.

It seemed that the abnormality was gradually disappearing as the distance between the two people widened.

Lin Lu observed carefully and found that Pei Yizhou had no other signs of struggle or compulsive behavior. Apart from the slightly distorted psychology caused by the loss of his loved ones many years ago, he still looked normal.

This is good. When she returns to Haicheng after vacation, she will move out, so they can still be a normal family.

She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the contact information of several psychologists saved in her phone, but after much hesitation she decided not to send them the message.

Time flies in the blink of an eye, and soon it is New Year's Eve.

The resort started preparing for the New Year's Eve event three days in advance, including fireworks, yacht cocktails, and seafood buffet role-playing. The updated travel brochure was very attractive.

Lin Lu was actively preparing to participate, planning to play until the early morning to welcome the new year.

Make a wish at the same time, for example, hope that your brother can abandon certain unhealthy ideas in the new year and become an excellent moral role model.

She planned to go out in the afternoon, tied her hair into two braids, and adjusted the angle of her hat and the height of her khaki boots in front of the oversized mirror in the living room, striving for perfection.

Pei Yizhou was sitting on the sofa drinking coffee, his eyes vaguely glancing over her figure.

If Lin Lu looked a little closer to the edge, she could meet his eyes in the mirror.

"Are we going out now? Doesn't the event start at five o'clock?" he asked with a smile.

"It's not fun to stay at home anyway," Lin Lu looked away calmly and applied lip gloss in front of the mirror, "Why not go downstairs and take a look earlier?"

It’s better to leave him as soon as possible.

Pei Yizhou still smiled, put down the coffee cup, and seeing that she was really going to leave him alone, he said calmly: "Wait."

"What?" Lin Lu held the door handle, as if she would turn around and leave if what he said next did not arouse her interest.

"Didn't I tell you I would help investigate your dream?"

Lin Lu paused, a little surprised.

Only she and Duan Chengyu know the most about dreams, and their inferences about dreams and parallel worlds are gradually being perfected, waiting for the results of investigations into more similar cases to support their conclusions.

And her next video call with Duan Chengyu will be tomorrow.

Before this, Pei Yizhou actually found out the results of his investigation?

She seemed to be unconvinced and walked back to sit down opposite the sofa.

"What did you find out?"

Pei Yizhou placed some faxed documents between the two of them, pointed to one of the documents and said, "In fact, there are many cases of time travel and parallel worlds in reality."

"Most people's speculation about parallel worlds comes from the fact that they often feel that they have experienced what is happening, as well as forgetting things that others think you should remember and remembering memories that others think do not belong to you."

"It is said in the science of the latent forces that if you experience an event similar to time travel, you will be affected by the memories of a timeline that is not yours when you pass by it. Even if those memories have nothing to do with you, you will feel that you are the first-person perspective of this memory."

He spoke in a very academic manner, and his attitude was calm, as if he was reading from a personnel report.

Compared to Duan Chengyu who suspected that she was crazy, he was abnormally calm.

Lin Lu took the document and looked at it. Oh, yes, Pei Yizhou first accepted her time travel, and then he believed it when he investigated the parallel world.

Duan Chengyu is not like that. His focus is on the dream of two people, and when he mentions the parallel world, he only regards it as a possibility.

Speaking of which, Pei Yizhou didn't know the content of her dream, but Duan Chengyu didn't know about her time travel either, so they each had their own advantages. No... Why did you say that as if whoever has a secret with her has a greater advantage? It's so weird to compare Pei Yizhou and Duan Chengyu together.

She put the file down and asked for confirmation while thinking: "So you think that I share another person's memory?"

Pei Yizhou: "Yes. Otherwise, you didn't even know Duan Chengyu before, how could you suddenly remember his name?"

"But he dreamed about me, too."

"The 'you' in the other timeline is not this you, and has nothing to do with you."

Pei Yizhou characterized this as a story similar to that of twin sisters.

But Lin Lu still felt strange: "He didn't remember me at first, but he slowly started dreaming after meeting me. My existence is stimulating him to recover some memories. And I don't think those are other people's memories. I am very familiar with the emotions, touch, and even temperature in the dream..."

As she spoke, she wanted Pei Yizhou to continue to explain her doubts, but Pei Yizhou was looking at her with a serious gaze.

"Emotions, touch, and temperature, what is happening in your dream?" he asked.

He never knew the content of the dream. Lin Lu didn't tell him, and Duan Chengyu boasted that it was a secret they shared with Lin Lu.

He thought it might be some beautiful memory of knowing each other, but he didn't dare and didn't want to think deeper. Now when he heard it, the veins on his forehead bulged out.

"What is it?" he asked again.

Lin Lu's lips moved.

The lip gloss makes her lips sparkle and is very eye-catching. Naturally, any small movements like biting her lips are also very noticeable.

Pei Yizhou wanted to rub the flowers for her, rub them away, and wipe them off completely.

But he just sat there, restraining his emotions and saying insincerely: "Lulu, I'm your brother. We agreed not to lie to each other."

You also know that you are the elder brother. Lin Lu scratched his eyebrows subconsciously.

That was her guilty reaction.

"Just normal contact, with emotions, physical contact, and temperature. Just taking a walk together or something like that."

"Really? Such a trivial matter in daily life? I contacted Duan Chengyu before, and he said that the content of the dream was a secret between the two of you and couldn't tell me. I thought it was a story that was difficult to tell."

Lin Lu laughed dryly.

She now looked like a young woman being questioned by her husband as to whether she had cheated on him physically or mentally, or whether all three parties knew what had happened but acted as if they knew it for the first time.

Stop, stop. Her thoughts were about to slide towards the edge of immorality.

Lin Lu stood up: "In fact, we... have thought about the explanation of the parallel world, but these two bizarre things happened to me, and this scientific reason is not enough to convince me. I always feel that I have forgotten something, and there must be a key point that I missed. Perhaps Duan Chengyu's slowly recovered memory can give me the result I want."

After a pause, she still explained, as if to say something softly: "That's why I met him, hoping to stimulate him to have more dreams and remember more scenes. Brother."

When she called him "brother" in a soft voice, Pei Yizhou couldn't bear it. All the resentment, pain and panic in his heart were suppressed.

On New Year's Eve, he should be her good brother for the night.

After all, seeing how she was determined to find out, it was unclear how long they could keep the secret. After that, such good days might be over.

"Forget it, let's go down and play. Wait for me to change clothes and then we can play together."

　When people who are good at ninjutsu talk about feelings, it is like using a pressure cooker. If it is suppressed for too long, a little improper operation will cause the pot to explode - Gelyevsky IX, a tabloid reporter once said.
