It was raining outside the window again, and the dripping rain hit the window, making a merciless roar.

I hate rain, and I hate people whose names contain the word "rain".

The sound of rain woke me up from a deep nightmare. Thinking back to everything in the dream, I shivered involuntarily.

It’s okay, it’s not true, I told myself.

Looking at the furnishings in the room, it was clean and tidy. All kinds of small things were in their proper places as I remembered, and the computer next to it was not broken.

Now is the reality, and this is the only thing I can confirm now.

Everything that happened before was just a dream.

My mood instantly became relaxed, and it was like a fish that was about to be killed by a fish suddenly returning to the freedom of the water.

I don’t know why this idea came into my head.

I got up from the bed, shook my head to wipe away the distracting thoughts in my mind, and my stomach growled. On the table was a half-opened textbook, but it was blank, without any notes.

Walking into the living room, the food was already placed on the table. My mother gently called me to eat, but her face looked so haggard.

I smiled and joked that my mother should eat more because my father would not like her if she was too thin. But after hearing what I said, my mother stepped back in panic, with an emotion in her eyes that I could not understand.

I couldn't understand those emotions, so I had to go to the bathroom to wash my hands. I didn't know if it was an illusion, but there was always a strong stench in the air. I sniffed but couldn't smell the source.

When I looked in the mirror, I thought I was lively, beautiful and lovely. After all, my only good feature was my face. But the person in the mirror was dishevelled and slovenly, and I could hardly recognize him.

Who is this?

His face was as pale as his mother's, with slight cracks at the corners of his mouth, as if they were bitten by himself, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot.

Why is my condition so bad?

Maybe I just woke up, it's normal...

I comforted myself in this way, looked carefully in the mirror, and kept judging in my heart how I could use those makeup to look better.

But gradually... gradually... the person in the mirror changed, getting smaller and smaller, and a pair of wings grew out from his back, flying around in the world inside the mirror.

It looked at me mockingly.

"How long are you going to play dead? Do you really think nothing happened? Look at yourself, how miserable you are."

I ignored its words and carefully looked for my reflection in the mirror.

Unfortunately it was not found.

They are all just my own illusions...illusions.

After leaving the bathroom, I had no appetite. I told my mother "I have no appetite" and went back to my room.

It's okay...It's okay...

I continued to comfort myself, but my heart became more and more uneasy. I glanced at the furnishings in the living room. It was very tidy and clean, which was so overwhelmingly different from what I had dreamed of that day.

It's all fake. People always say that dreams and reality are completely opposite.

I walked to the room, and suddenly I wanted to turn on the computer and use it to see what he looked like. When I thought of his figure, my whole brain was filled with happiness. What would happen to me and him in the future? We would be together after confessing our love, and then happily married after graduating from high school, and have one or two cute babies after graduating from college, and love each other every day until we grow old together and die together.

I don’t know why, but when I look at myself in the mirror every day, I get bored after looking at myself for a while, but sometimes I can stare at the screen for hours.

Of course, there are all kinds of screenshots and photos. Watching him in his daily life is like seeing my own future. The seat next to him must be mine!

When I thought of this, I missed him again.

I really want to see him soon...

I miss his scent so much... I really want to stay in his arms and act coquettishly, with my whole body pressed against him, because this will give me the feeling that we are one.

I became more and more eager, and then I turned on the computer impatiently, but ten seconds, twenty seconds, one minute, five minutes passed, and this damn computer just wouldn't turn on.

I kicked it angrily, and the whole machine fell to the ground again, and the rage in my heart grew stronger.

Why can't I open it? Why can't I see him? Why can't I even fulfill such a small wish?

I started yelling angrily and threw everything in my hands out. A series of ping-pong sounds rang out in the room.

I suddenly froze in place, placed my water cup gently on the table with trembling hands, and looked around blankly.

Why...why is the scene I see now so similar to the one in my dream?

I suddenly recalled what the little man in the mirror said. I started mumbling something and started walking around the room.

again and again......

Whoop!

I stopped circling and opened the door. My mother was sitting at the table, eating quietly, but her eyes were a little empty.

When he saw me coming, the light in his eyes finally focused a little.

"What's wrong, Xiaoke? Are you hungry? I'll serve you food right away."

"Mom, where's dad?"

I stared at my mother's eyes and asked about my father's whereabouts. In my impression, my gentle and kind father was always out of sight because of work. I rarely saw him, but he was always for the sake of this family. I understood this... I understood this...

Mother put down her chopsticks stiffly.

"Xiao Ke... why are you asking this... or... you should eat quickly. It's been dark for so long. If you don't eat, your body won't be able to bear it."

She refused to answer my question directly, and I resolutely pushed away the bowl and broke it on the spot.

I walked towards my parents' room and turned the handle, but I saw a figure lying on the bed. The figure had a distorted expression, as if he had been treated inhumanely. There were dried dark red bloodstains on the ground, and a foul smell was overwhelming.

This is a corpse... a rotten, smelly corpse that has been dead for some time.

Suddenly, my throat felt sour, I vomited on the spot, and my mind went blank.

Yes, that's right!

I was wrong! This was not a dream at all! This was reality!!!

My already broken heart instantly broke into pieces. I wanted to scream and shout hysterically, but no sound came out of my throat.

I trembled with fear, if this were all true....if this were all true...

I looked at my bloody hands and wanted to chop them off. He wouldn't like them...

I curled up on the ground, pain coming from all directions.

How to do?

What should I do?

What to do with the body? How should I face myself? What does my mother think? Can he still accept himself?

Thoughts flooded through my mind one after another. I suddenly stood up, and a panic surged in my heart... a panic so strong that it might even kill me...

Tomorrow...tomorrow he will come to my house...

I lowered my eyes, walked out of the room decisively, and took out the tools from the utility room to prepare for cleaning.

No... He must not find out...

I can't...I swear...

Chapter 255 Monitoring

Xia Xiu was lying on the bed in a daze when he received a message on his phone from Silly Girl inviting him to visit her home tomorrow.

After reading the message, he put his phone aside, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't find the source of the uneasiness.

But it is certain that it is not because of the silly girl. No matter what, he, Xia, can still handle matters related to her.

He has this confidence.

There was a soft ding-dong sound, and it was a message from the mobile phone.

When I took it and looked at it, it was not the message from Xiaoke as expected, but the message from Su Yuhan who had not appeared for some time.

"Are you there?"

A very common, yet also clownish way of starting a conversation in daily life.

"what happened?"

Xia Xiu felt a little tired, so he opened the voice chat without bothering to type. After two beeps, Su Yuhan's pleasant voice came out.

"Is there a problem?"

"It looks like our classmate Xia Xiu is very tired. His voice is so weak. He won't do anything bad again, right?"

"Yes, I can't help admiring your photos."

Xia Xiu said casually, then put his phone beside the bed and chose to do a handstand against the wall. This seemed to help him stay calmer. He felt his body was getting rusty when he lay down all the time, especially since he had been on vacation for several weeks and was bored.

"Oh, then ordinary photos are not very useful. Do you want me to send you some of my useful photos?"

She chuckled.

"Hurrah."

"Okay, you big-headed ghost!"

Xia Xiu smiled, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.

"So what's the matter, classmate Su Yuhan?"

"Would you like to go out and play with me?"

"What do you mean?"

"The National Day holiday is coming up in a few days, but it's only seven days long. If we don't get together or go on a trip, it would be a waste of this holiday."

Xia Xiu exited the screen and looked at the calendar. It was indeed almost National Day.

"No, I'm socially anxious."

"Don't refuse so quickly. I didn't invite anyone else. We're just going out together as people we know each other."

"But I have to take care of my sister Xiaoyu."

"You can bring her along. It's not convenient for her to recover if she stays at home every day. And you can bring the child along. I guess you haven't taken her on a long trip for such a long time, right? Why don't you take her for a good walk?"

It has to be said that the girl's proposal is still very tempting, but Xia Xiu is not the kind of person who can't distinguish between the primary and the secondary. Isn't the most important thing now about Xiaoke, who is already very abnormal?

"Let's take a look at the situation first. What are you going to play?"

"It's like hiking or camping. There are several famous mountains nearby. It must be fun to climb them."

"Do you still like hiking?"

Xia Xiu was a little surprised. In his impression, most girls were not good at or liked sports.

"What's wrong? It doesn't look like it, does it?"

"Like, very similar! But who are some of the people who have passed by?"

"Are you checking the household registration? Why are you asking so much?" The girl on the other end of the phone seemed to curl her lips. "Basically, they are all people you know, such as me and Yu Yan, you and your sister, and the child. If possible, you can invite your lover to come along. Oh, and there's also Lu Ziang from your class."

Xia Xiu frowned.

"Do you know Lu Ziang?"

In his memory, there was no intersection between these people.

"Isn't this for your consideration? There are so many girls here, and they're worried that you, a boy, will feel uncomfortable or embarrassed, so why not bring a friend with you?"

"That's good..."

But Xia Xiu still had doubts in his heart, as he always felt that the other party was deliberately avoiding this topic.

"It's settled then. I'll let you know when the specific location and time are determined."

Then she quickly hung up the phone, not giving him any chance to refuse.

Xia Xiu shrugged his shoulders. Well, it didn't matter. At worst, he could just be a pigeon. It was not like he had never been one before.

Although he hates pigeons, he doesn't mind being a pigeon himself. People are double-standard animals.

It's just that suddenly inviting him out to play or something like that...
