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

Chapter 87 Are you forgetting me?
Lin Lu has been interning at Ling Group for almost a week and is gradually adapting to the current pace of life.

She was sent to the company in the morning and had dinner with Pei Yizhou. Lunch was reserved for her socializing, which Pei Yizhou usually did not take up.

But she didn't quite believe it. She always felt that in half a month at most, the man would come to see her at lunch time.

So when she saw the message "I'm waiting for you downstairs for dinner", she thought it was sent by Pei Yizhou at first. After taking a closer look at the previous chat history, she found out that it was from Duan Chengyu.

They met at a nearby Cantonese stew restaurant, and when Lin Lu arrived he had already ordered the dishes.

"I thought it would be a while before you came back," she said, sitting down.

"She flew back after finishing her work," Duan Chengyu admired her formal attire, "She's very capable and beautiful."

Lin Lu blinked and accepted the compliment.

It was a sunny day outside, and the soft light shone on her slightly raised face. Her eyes were like translucent amber, and her whole body was full of vitality.

But Duan Chengyu was not in a good mood. Depression, irritability and a vague sense of panic were climbing in his heart.

He wanted to get an immediate affirmative answer from her that the dream was still continuing, but it was not his habit to be panic-stricken right away.

If you are in a hurry, you will easily make mistakes.

He held back and asked with a smile: "Why did you think of working for Ling's Group? Isn't it good to work at Linzhou Technology?"

"No, it was my personal idea. I wanted to try other places, and finally Ling's took a fancy to me."

Lin Lu has answered this question many times and explained it casually.

Then she looked at him thoughtfully: "You look a little tired. You must have just returned. You found out that I work at Ling's in such a short time, and you were in a hurry to come find me. Did you have a special dream?"

Duan Chengyu's eyes flickered. "It's not special. It's just a daily scene of pursuing you. I feel like I'm just a camera with five senses, recording the scene of falling in love with you."

She couldn't stand such a direct attack and lowered her head to drink some soup.

The queen of queens and figs in the soup sank to the bottom. She scooped up a piece and chewed it.

Duan Chengyu then casually asked back: "What about you? Did you have any other dreams?"

She paused: "No."

"Or is it a repetition of a previous dream? Which one is the most frequent? Maybe there is a direction."

After asking, Duan Chengyu waited patiently for the answer.

He thought he was very patient, but he held his breath unconsciously while waiting for an answer - this was an instinctive reaction. When encountering important events, his breathing became shallow to concentrate - his breathing and heartbeat felt suppressed, and after more than ten seconds, he gradually felt uncomfortable.

What exactly is wrong? It's complicated and hard to tell.

After half a minute of silence, Lin Lu decided to tell the truth.

"Actually, I seldom dream during this period. Even if I do dream, the images are not clear, and I will forget most of them when I wake up. I don't know what's going on." Duan Chengyu finally realized what was wrong. A sense of absurdity strangled his neck, teasing him, as if saying: Look at you, you are almost the same as Pei Yizhou.

"What started it?" His tone became heavy.

"The day you and my brother had a fight, I was a little suspicious. After that, I controlled my rest time and actively tried to dream by saying your name, but the success rate was not high. After a few days, I dreamed of Antarctica again. I fell into the ice and seemed to be soaked in ice water... I haven't had any dreams since then."

"It's been so long," Duan Chengyu said slowly, "So our situations have reversed? I started to have more frequent dreams, but yours are slowly decreasing."

“I’m afraid it’s more than just a decrease.”

Lin Lu took a deep breath, looked into his eyes and analyzed the matter: "I have looked up many speculations about parallel worlds. If it is indeed me who is with you, then there is only one me in the two worlds. When I am in a world, the memory of the other world will be slowly erased. Some people say that the law of single time and space is true."

"You mean, you're forgetting your memories with me. Just like you forgot the two years you were in love with Pei Yizhou, right?"

She was not surprised that Duan Chengyu could guess what happened between her and Pei Yizhou in the past, but she did not give a direct answer.

After a moment's silence, Duan Chengyu threw down his chopsticks and gave a short laugh.

"It's really strange that things happen one after another. I'm slowly remembering you, and you're starting to forget me... This is not fair, Lulu, this is not fair to me. You were the one who took the initiative to appear by my side first."

It tore a hole in his peaceful and boring life and pulled him into these bizarre science fiction facts.

He finally came to believe it and gradually awakened those memories, but now the person who broke into his life has to jump out of the path he was walking parallel to and return to his own peaceful life.

What are those memories? Garbage that is created and then thrown away?
He leaned back in his chair, and his expression gradually darkened after he laughed.

Lin Lu heard complaints of injustice from more than one person.

Because she had heard it before, she was completely unmoved and even had time to think about the loopholes in the other party's words.

"I don't understand what you are angry about. Even if the situation gets to the worst and I forget the memories of getting along with 'Duan Chengyu' in the parallel world, it does not affect every bit of knowing you. If I stop dreaming, will you disappear as well, so that I won't recognize you face to face?"

"Did you start to like me for him because your memories merged with Duan Chengyu from another world and you witnessed our life together? If I forget those memories, you will no longer like me? Of course, I am not asking you to like me, I just want to ask you, do you really like me?"

Duan Chengyu was stunned.

She picked at the ingredients on the garlic ribs and said calmly, "I'm actually confused about your and my brother's behavior and thoughts. I was walking peacefully on the same road, I met him at the crosswalk, and I met you on the overpass, we walked together for a while, and then I was about to leave the overpass and the crosswalk, and you started to lose your defense and say it was unfair."

"Is it unfair of me? I am just following the route home. You should go to the people who planned the road and ask why there can't be only sidewalks or overpasses on the road? Why can't my home be built on the sidewalk or overpass?"

"Or is it your problem? I have been following a fixed route, but your whereabouts are not so fixed. For example, if I ask you now, if there is no dream, and we just meet on the road, and we get the same orange at the fruit stand in the supermarket and look at each other, will you like me because of this?"

"Finally, isn't it true that Duan Chengyu from another world is the most pitiful? Among my brother, Duan Chengyu from another world, and you, you are the one who has the least contact with me."

Duan Chengyu had never seen her like this before, and she casually stabbed a knife into his heart.
