Chapter 4: Waking up and the sky falling
"Hiss~" Su Yin touched the corner of his mouth and took a breath of cold air. He turned his head to look at the mirror. His left cheek was still a little swollen, as if he had been slapped.
Who had the audacity to hit him?! His mother had never hit him once since he was a child, and now he was beaten just after coming home from a nap after confessing his feelings for no apparent reason? He had no memory of it.
Did he drink too much last night? That doesn't make sense. He doesn't drink much.
But the face in the mirror looked so weak. His stomach growled twice, and he touched it, his eyes instantly glazing over.
When he lifted his clothes and took a look, he screamed, "Where are my abdominal muscles——" Not only were his abdominal muscles gone, but his soft belly looked bigger than his chest muscles. "I've gained weight????"
No, no!
He hurried out and called for help, "Xue'er!" He was stunned again when he saw the furnishings in the bedroom. Many decorations had changed, and the patterns of the tables, chairs, and beds were also different. The most obvious change was the photo on the wall!
Before confessing his love, he printed out a photo of him and Pei Weixue when they went skiing together and hung it in the bedroom, thinking of giving Pei Weixue a surprise.
The two of them spent three days at a ski resort abroad. Pei Weixue didn't know how to ski and kept falling down, with his face hitting the snow. He thought it was very funny and laughed while holding his stomach. Pei Weixue got angry and grabbed a handful of snow and pressed it on his face. He shivered from the cold and fell directly on Pei Weixue. The two rolled in the snow for a long time. After they left the ski resort, he hugged Pei Weixue and took their first photo together.
They agreed to come again in the future and he wanted to teach Pei Weixue how to ski.
Something was wrong, something was wrong. There was something weird about everything. There was nothing familiar in the room. It was a mess. Pei Weixue had mild obsessive-compulsive disorder. They had lived together for a long time, and under Pei Weixue's influence, he also developed some obsessive-compulsive disorder and always kept things tidy.
But now there is a pile of clothes on the floor, the decorations on the table are even more messy, and the cotton in the sheets has been squeezed into some corner. The whole room looks like a garbage dump, and there are Coke bottles lying beside the bed.
Which slob lives here?
He walked out and found no one in the suite. He knocked on Pei Weixue's door, "Xue'er, are you awake?" Yesterday was Friday and today was Saturday. Pei Weixue was a lazy little bug who loved to sleep in, so he definitely wouldn't get up early in the morning.
After knocking for a long time but no one answered him, he rubbed his chin and thought, did Xue'er go out to buy groceries? He slowly walked back to his room to get his phone, and finally found an unfamiliar phone under the bed. He unlocked it with a face scan. "When did I change my phone?" He was secretly delighted. "Could it be a gift from Xue'er?"
But that didn't make sense. The phone looked like it had been used for a long time, and he didn't recognize the man on the wallpaper.
Forget it, let’s go to Xueer’s room and take a look.
He opened the door and saw a clean and tidy room with a snowman doll on the bedside. He walked in and saw a computer and teacups on the table, and clothes in the closet.
They agreed to live together yesterday. He and Pei Weixue had put down the down payment for this apartment together, and they had been living together for a long time, but they had been roommates before they had established a relationship. Now that they were dating, they couldn't be roommates anymore. He wanted to wait for Pei Weixue to come back and ask which room he wanted to sleep in.
Suddenly, I accidentally saw two white medicine bottles in the trash can. I picked them up and looked at them. My face instantly sank. Why is Xue'er still taking this? Isn't she already cured?
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the calendar, on which the year, month, and day were clearly written, including the word 'Monday'.
Different from what he knew, it took six more years.
!!!!!!
More than two hours later.
Su Yin, with his hair pulled into a bird's nest, finally realized the current situation. He, Su Yin, traveled through time and space, and traveled to six years later.
He wanted to call Pei Weixue and directly entered the 11-digit number. However, the note "Clown" didn't pop up on the screen. What did it mean? Whose phone had the note "Clown" on it? It definitely wasn't his!
But the face recognition can be turned on. Ignore it for now, maybe it was just replaced.
After two beeps, the phone indicated that the call was ongoing. He called twice more and half-knelt on the carpet wailing, "Why did Xue'er block me? This is too much." Then he called his mother and Jiang Zhi, but no one answered.
His expression was completely broken.
At this moment, there was a noise at the entrance. He stood up excitedly, and his legs were numb and he almost fell. He slapped his thighs twice and limped over. He saw Pei Weixue carrying a briefcase. Unlike the thin and sickly look in his impression, she looked elite, mature and steady. He said in surprise: "Wow, Xue'er, you are still so beautiful even when you are old." He did not notice Pei Weixue's cold eyes, and walked over quickly to pinch his face, but was dodged. He didn't understand why, thinking that he had made Pei Weixue angry, "Xue'er, please don't be angry. You can punish me however you want."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hand grabbed his neck and pushed him against the shoe cabinet, hitting his waist with the corner of the table. He hissed and tried to pry Pei Weixue's hand away. He looked at Pei Weixue with confusion, whose face was gloomy, and wanted to ask, what's wrong?
"I..."
"Su Yin, if you want a divorce, I'll grant your wish. Mom's in poor health, how dare you keep provoking her!" Pei Weixue threw his briefcase to the ground with a loud thud. Seeing Su Yin's shocked and suffocating expression, he let go of her hand. When Su Yin covered her neck and coughed, he picked up the briefcase, pulled out a document from it, and threw it in Su Yin's face, "Sign!"
"What? Ahem..." Su Yin was confused. He picked up the document and saw the big words on the cover. He screamed, "Divorce Agreement! We're getting married!" He turned around and Pei Weixue had already walked in. He followed her. They were married after six years?
But why are we getting divorced?
"No... I..." Su Yin was still half-conscious. He didn't know why he had suddenly traveled to six years later. He and Pei Weixue were married, but now they were getting divorced. He had made his mother angry, and her health was not good. His mother was in great shape and could carry a bucket of water up to the sixth floor in one breath. "Xue'er?"
Pei Weixue ignored him and went straight into the study to set up the computer.
"Xue'er, there must be a misunderstanding between us. Don't break up impulsively." Su Yin approached Pei Weixue with a bitter face, just like before. This was how he coaxed Pei Weixue whenever she was unhappy.
Pei Weixue looked away with a sullen face, but couldn't help but secretly glance at the divorce agreement in Su Yin's hand, remaining silent.
"Xue'er, I have something to tell you. Actually, I..." traveled through time. Su Yin thought about it and decided to tell this matter first. He never hid anything from Pei Weixue, but he found that he couldn't say the second sentence. He opened his mouth twice, but he couldn't explain that he traveled through time.
Pei Weixue didn't give him any kind look.
"I'm... forget it. Xue'er, I don't want a divorce. You just said I made Mom angry, but I don't know what you meant. I..." Who could understand the pain of waking up to find himself married to his beloved and immediately facing divorce? The most outrageous thing was that he had no idea what was going on. Su Yin explained anxiously. Pei Weixue trusted him very much and basically believed everything he said.
During his senior year, he went abroad to compete in a design competition. One night, he called Pei Weixue across the ocean, pinched himself several times, and told her he might not win the prize. He was heartbroken and needed her comfort. At the time, they were still in the ambiguous relationship, and he just wanted to see Pei Weixue worry about him, to say a few caring words. Even better, if he could video chat, a blown kiss would be best.
Unexpectedly, Pei Weixue hung up the phone directly, catching him off guard. He was quite puzzled. Although Pei Weixue was a bit taciturn, she was not so petty as to not care at all. As a result, the next day at noon, the doorbell rang and Pei Weixue was standing at the door, her cheeks red from the cold. As soon as they met, Pei Weixue hugged him, patted his back and said, "You are already great. You will definitely win the award next time."
A joke from him made Pei Weixue take a plane for more than ten hours to go abroad to find him. It was clearly just an ambiguous period and the relationship was not exposed, but every action of Pei Weixue told him that he liked him.
"Xue'er?" Su Yin saw him typing on the computer, "Let's not get divorced yet, okay? Do you want to drink a glass of kiwi juice? I'll squeeze your teeth for you." The situation was not clear, but he didn't want to be eliminated stupidly. He had to know what he had done and do something to make amends.
He ran out like a gust of wind, and Pei Weixue behind him looked at the screen where the code should be filled in, but it was empty.
Su Yin casually threw the divorce agreement into the trash can, and his tightly pursed lips actually relaxed a little. How could it come to this? At that moment, he seemed to see Su Yin, who was caring about him at that moment.
She must be pretending to get money from him again. After graduating, Su Yin didn't have a job and had been using her bonuses. When she ran out of money, she would ask him for more. She used to just buy a pack of cigarettes or a bottle of water, but after meeting He Nan, she started spending money lavishly, treating him to meals at the most expensive restaurants and giving him expensive gifts.
There were two times when he didn't want to give money, and Su Yin softened her expression to coax him, just like she is now. After he gave the money, Su Yin immediately changed back to normal.
But He Nan had no shortage of food or expensive gifts at all. Su Yin was like a clown jumping around between them from beginning to end. Even though Jiang Zhi had not reconciled with He Nan yet, He Nan had never had any other thoughts about Su Yin.
Su Yin was clinging to He Nan like a fly. He Nan called Pei Weixue many times to ask him to pick someone up from a certain place. Every time he went, Su Yin would scold him in a sarcastic tone. She also said in public that she wanted to divorce him more than once or twice.
Su Yin should be happy that he agreed to divorce.
Soon, footsteps were heard outside the door again. The computer screen went dark, and Su Yin rushed in. "Xue'er! There are no kiwis in our refrigerator?"
Pei Weixue pushed the divorce agreement she had picked up over to him and said, "Sign it. Let's part ways amicably."
Su Yin was now in a state of panic. He plopped down on the floor and said, "I have no idea what happened. Even if you want a divorce, you should let me die with a clear conscience, right? We can work things out if there are any problems."
"Running-in?" Pei Weixue sneered.
In the more than two years they had known each other, Su Yin had never seen Pei Weixue so cold. He kept people at a distance, like a huge iceberg surrounded by cold air, isolating everyone from the outside. This sneer chilled Su Yin's heart. The veins on his forehead twitched, as if there was some unacceptable fact behind it that he could not accept.
Pei Weixue looked indifferent, "You cheated."
Su Yin: “?”
Su Yin: "What the hell? Who did I cheat on? A man or a woman?" He continued to sit on the ground like a spoiled child, moving his butt towards Pei Weixue, until he was next to Pei Weixue's legs, and looked up at him, "Since you said I cheated on you, you have to mention someone, right?"
As he spoke, he began to howl, "You can't slander me without evidence." The home clothes were white plush, and there were two dog ears on the hat. From a distance, he looked like a snowball huddled beside Pei Weixue's legs.
Pei Weixue lowered her eyes: "He Nan."
Su Yin's eyes widened in confusion: "Who?"
"Don't play dumb. Sign it!" Pei Weixue threw the divorce agreement at him again.
Su Yin howled and hugged Pei Weixue's legs, "Xue'er! You can't abandon me. Have you forgotten? When we were at the ski resort, I said I wanted to be your sled dog."
No matter how much he cried and begged, Pei Weixue's expression did not change. He couldn't believe that he would cheat on someone he didn't even know.
Pei Weixue just asked him to sign the divorce agreement.
He was so angry that he threw the divorce agreement into the shredder and said, "Then tell me, who is He Nan?"
"Jiang Zhi's ex-boyfriend."
Su Yin: “!” No, I cheated on my brother’s ex-boyfriend?!
Pei Weixue added: "You caused them to break up."
Su Yin: "?" What! I'm interfering in my brother's relationship?
The newly confirmed relationship could not withstand repeated blows. He Nan and Jiang Zhi had only been dating for less than half a month at that time and had known each other for a month. It was difficult for them to separate with Su Yin's various interferences.
"Xue'er." After hearing this, Su Yin shrugged his head, crossed his legs, and sat with sadness all over his body. "You say... can six years really turn a person into a beast?"
Perhaps it was because Su Yin's tone was soft, or perhaps it was because his way of speaking was pleasant to the ear, Pei Weixue lowered her head and looked at him.
"Please give me a chance to find out the truth, okay?" Su Yin didn't believe that he would become like this, but many signs seemed suspicious when he thought about them carefully.
"The truth is on your phone. Just open it and you'll know."
Upon hearing this, Su Yin couldn't wait to open his phone. The first thing he looked at was the photo album. All the thousands of photos of Pei Weixue that he remembered had disappeared, and were replaced by another man in a suit. Could this man be "He Nan"?
He slid upwards but couldn't reach the top. Every angle of the photo was beyond his expectations, like a shadowy peeping tom.
The mobile phone memo also contains all the information about Henan, including hobbies, daily routine, schedule, and everything else.
The chat software is also full of He Nan.
The only thing was that there was nothing about Pei Weixue. His phone not only had facial recognition, but also a password. He looked at Pei Weixue's straight back and entered the password with all his might.
#Wrong password input
From the moment he fell in love with Pei Weixue, his password had always been Pei Weixue's birthday. It had never changed, and even Pei Weixue didn't know. They respected each other's privacy and never checked each other's phones. Besides, it was not a good idea to "cross the line" since they were not dating yet.
All the good things were shattered in this moment. Su Yin looked at Pei Weixue's cold face and felt as if his chest was being pressed by a huge rock. Pei Weixue had never looked at him with such eyes since they met.
Not to mention that Pei Weixue was very soft-hearted. They would occasionally have small quarrels, but as long as he played the victim, Pei Weixue would no longer be angry and was easy to coax. He carefully pulled Pei Weixue's trouser legs, "Can you... give me a chance to start over?"
Pei Weixue's hand that was typing on the keyboard paused for a moment, and he lowered his eyes to hide his complicated emotions. "No need." From the moment Su Qingyue fainted from anger, he announced the end of this relationship.
"But this is unfair to me. I don't have those memories at all. I just confessed to you, and when I woke up, six years had passed. Did I really do what you said?" Su Yin argued quickly, very anxious and excited, sitting on the ground and grabbing Pei Weixue's trouser legs to act like a spoiled child.
"You're talking to me about fairness?" Pei Weixue tried to kick away, but was held tighter. For six years, he had tried every possible means to please and tolerate her. Who could he ask for fairness? "Even if you pretend to have lost your memory, if you want to come back, you'll have to see if I eat rotten grass." Pei Weixue said, pushing Su Yin away, standing up and looking directly at him. "Su Yin, don't force me to sue you." After saying this, he pointed to the door and said, "Get out!"
Even if Su Yin really wanted to come back and play a chase with him, he didn't want to play along. He had endured Su Yin for six years to repay her kindness to him, which was enough. He even gave Su Yin a large portion of his property. Even if Su Yin didn't want to work for the rest of her life, she could still live by saving money.
Su Yin rubbed his butt and stood up. He didn't want to continue arguing and needed to figure things out first. He wanted to know one thing more now, "Have you started taking medicine again? Is it because of me?"
He cared more about this than the divorce. Pei Weixue's appetite was very poor due to medication, and she was very thin. It took her two years to completely stop taking medication. He took good care of her for half a year, spending every day in the kitchen studying recipes, and finally she gained some weight. Pei Weixue didn't have much weight now, but her frame had become wider and she looked a little stronger.
My mom joked that the hand I used to paint with was always holding a spatula. He replied: I'm happy with that.
Pei Weixue, who sat back in front of the computer, heard the sound and slammed his hands on the keyboard. He pursed his lips, closed his eyes and forced himself not to show his emotions. The Su Yin in the past was worth it, but the Su Yin now is not worth it.
He only started taking the medicine half a year ago. He was very stupid at that time. After knowing that Su Yin had changed her heart, he always reminisced about the past with Su Yin, hoping to win back Su Yin. He could call him stupid or cheap. Su Yin was too important to him and they had very good memories.
He even said in front of Su Yin: "If you go to find him, I will continue to take this medicine." But Su Yin did not stop, he really took it.
At first, he was taking it even though he was not sick, but later he became sick and had to take it. Every time he became sick, Su Yin looked at him coldly, and even ridiculed him, saying that if he wanted to die, he should die early and not get in the way.
An eyesore.
What a terrible word. He had heard it countless times, and every time it pierced his heart.
