Ji Mian discovered that although he had not finished reading "Stranger Tenderness", as his memories merged, the plot of the book would unfold directly in his mind.
Is this the time traveler’s golden finger?
Ji Mian felt very complicated.
But I have to say that knowing the plot in advance does help him overcome many difficulties.
In the original novel, although Fu Chenyu was locked outside the door for a night, Su Luoyu later appeared like a god, took him home, kept him warm, fed him and put him to sleep, taking care of him in every possible way.
It was also because of this that Fu Chenyu escaped death.
Otherwise, with such heavy snow and such thin clothes on, he would surely die if he froze all night.
At eight o'clock in the evening, there was indeed a knock on the door in the tube-shaped building on the old street.
Fu Chenyu stood at the door, his small figure almost blending into the darkness.
After all, he was only five years old. He knocked on the door for a long time, and when he found that the door was tightly closed, a trace of panic appeared in his beautiful eyes.
Fu Chenyu's skin color was originally pale, and now it was as white as a piece of paper.
He seemed to have a premonition and got the result he least wanted.
"Open the door, open the door!"
Fu Chenyu knocked on the door hard.
“Bang!”
“Bang, bang, bang!”
"Open the door..."
"Open the door!"
As no one responded in the room for a long time, Fu Chenyu's voice gradually became filled with fear and crying.
He shouted louder and louder, until it was almost a roar.
Dust fell from the old, mottled wall and fell into his eyes, making his eye sockets red.
The knocks on the door became louder and louder, and gradually, the neighbors' curses were heard around:
"I'm going to die! Who's knocking on the door in the middle of the night? You're crazy! Are you going to celebrate the New Year?"
"unlucky!"
"Damn it, it's that little bastard. He's so annoying."
"Why didn't his mother take him to celebrate the New Year?"
"Oh my, his mother hasn't been home for half a year. She's been living with the nanny. Didn't you see his nanny going back to her hometown this morning..."
Fu Chenyu's eyes widened and more tears accumulated.
He couldn't believe that the nanny really hated him so much that she took away all the keys and left him alone to face the cold winter night.
During the long and bitter cold, he was helpless, without relatives or friends, and he had no idea what to eat or where to live...
He will die!
Fu Chenyu had never been so close to death.
The knocking on the door became louder and louder, and his tender palms turned red and even bled.
But he completely ignored the pain. The fear of death hung over the heart of a five-year-old child.
Ji Mian heard the cursing and knocking on the door from the building next door, and his heart was in turmoil.
Do you want to go out and take a look...
He climbed to the window with difficulty, holding on to the railing with his two little hands, and squeezed his round little face between the railings, leaving two red marks on his face.
The knocking on the door gradually weakened, and Fu Chenyu seemed to have given up hope.
Ji Mian looked out the window anxiously. Before he knew it, heavy snow had begun to fall on New Year's Eve, and every household was emitting warm yellow light.
Among the thousands of lights, not a single one belongs to Fu Chenyu.
Ji Mian quietly opened the drawer and took out a note filled with the plot.
He clenched his fists and warned himself: Fu Chenyu is your enemy!
Ji Mian's chubby face wrinkled into a ball.
If he saved Fu Chenyu, he would be the one to die in the future, and it would also cause an international disaster. After all, he was the biggest villain in "Stranger Tenderness", the founder of the dark web, Fox. Ji Mian couldn't count the number of lives he had on his hands with even ten fingers.
However, none of the future plots happened, and Fu Chenyu was only a five-year-old child.
But as the only person who knows the plot, Ji Mian asked himself, can he just watch someone die without helping?
never mind……
Ji Mian sighed. What was he struggling with?
Fu Chenyu will not really die tonight. Before long, Su Luoyu will appear in front of him and take him home.
In the original novel, he lived in Su Luoyu's house for the entire Spring Festival, and the two of them formed a deep friendship. Su Luoyu became the white moonlight in Fu Chenyu's heart that could not be touched.
Ji Mian remembered that in the original novel, the scene where Su Luoyu fed the boss happened here.
It was full of affection, lingering sadness, and lingering love...
Why would he become the "stick" who breaks up a couple of lovers?
Ji Mian thought about it and let it go. Yes, with Su Luoyu, the genuine white moonlight angel, helping the boss, nothing should be wrong.
"Tenderness in Strangers" is a novel with a predetermined ending. Fu Chenyu ends up becoming a villain. Ji Mian can only change his own destiny and has no confidence in changing the destiny of others.
Lin Minzhi's gentle care emerged in his mind. At the same time, the ending of his mother crying her eyes blind, screaming at the end of her voice, and no one to see her off to the end more than ten years later appeared alternately in his mind. Ji Mian's heart trembled violently. Having experienced the death of his parents in his previous life, he clenched his hands tightly. He didn't want to lose his loved ones again.
The fluttering of a butterfly's wings might bring about an ending he cannot accept.
In 1998, there was no ban on fireworks in cities.
At midnight on New Year's Eve, every household lit firecrackers, and the crackling sounds resounded through the sky.
Lin Minzhi took Ji Mian to the yard, stepped on the snow, and looked up at the fireworks in the night sky together.
The usually sarcastic neighbors put aside their ridicule of Lin Minzhi at this moment, and enthusiastically gave Ji Mian candies, praising him for his ambition, persistence, and cuteness.
After receiving the candies, Ji Mian did not run away impolitely like other children. Instead, he said "thank you uncle" and "thank you aunt" to everyone seriously.
A forty-year-old is called sister, and a fifty-year-old is called aunt.
He made a group of women laugh so hard that their teeth fell out. No matter how old they were, their hearts would tremble when the handsome boy called them sister.
The voice praising Jimian became sincere, without any trace of sarcasm.
Several old ladies who usually chattered looked at Ji Mian frequently, very surprised:
"Is Minzhi's child really mentally retarded? He looks so well behaved to me."
"Yeah, he's much more competitive than our Yunbao. He runs with Xiao Zhang every day and his health has improved."
"I haven't seen him fall down as often as before."
"Oh, it's all because of Minzhi's good teaching. Look, how polite he is..."
"Bah, so what if she's a good teacher? Lin Minzhi is still a worthless piece of shit that no man wants!"
"If you ask me, what's the point of a woman being so capable? She still needs a man..."
The whispered words reached Lin Minzhi's ears, and she just laughed it off.
A few months ago, she might have been seriously hurt by these words.
But now, her business is getting better step by step, Mianmian can speak, money and future give her confidence, and Lin Minzhi feels sorry for these gossipers.
Relying on men, what can you rely on?
After the firecrackers were set off, the snow outside became heavier and heavier, making it impossible to stay indoors. Everyone said goodbye to their neighbors and went back home.
From the very beginning, Ji Mian had been hurriedly looking for Su Luoyu among the playing children. He thought that he could have reminded Su Luoyu earlier and asked him to go find Fu Chenyu. In this way, Fu Chenyu would suffer less.
After searching around, I saw Xu Cai and the others, but didn't see Su Luoyu.
Ji Mian was a little confused.
Lin Minzhi squatted down: "Mianmian, can we go home too? What are you looking for?"
Ji Mian shook his head. After a while, he spoke softly, "Mom, where is Su Luoyu?"
Lin Minzhi paused. She didn't expect that Ji Mian could still remember his classmates.
Does this mean... Ji Mian's autism has improved? Not only can he speak, but he can also recognize his classmates?
Does he want to make friends?
The surprise in her heart flashed away, and Lin Minzhi hurriedly said, "Mianmian, do you want to play with some kids? Is it okay after the New Year? Susu's family went to visit relatives this morning and will not be back until the day after tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Mian's cat-like eyes widened.
Before Lin Minzhi could understand why his son reacted so strongly, Ji Mian had already broken free from his hand and turned around to run.
This sudden action frightened Lin Minzhi, and she said in panic: "Mianmian!"
Ji Mian didn't even know how he moved his legs.
He ran to the door of Fu Chenyu's house, looked around, and his heart sank.
Fu Chenyu's family lives in a better house in the old street.
The corridor was empty and you could see the end at a glance.
Sure enough, there was no one there.
Ji Mian searched the stairs and corners but couldn't find Fu Chenyu.
He ran out of the tube building in a hurry again, and the biting wind and snow blew all over him.
With such heavy snow, where can Fu Chenyu run to!
At this moment, Ji Mian even forgot the idea that Fu Chenyu was his future enemy. His mind was full of a miserable and helpless five-year-old child.
At this moment, he felt extremely guilty. After all, he knew that Fu Chenyu would suffer a lot of torture tonight, but he still chose to let it go and let Su Luoyu save him.
It turns out that Su Luoyu is not in the old street tonight!
How could he be so careless when it comes to matters of life and death?
Ji Mian gritted his teeth, turned around and rushed outside, but bumped into Lin Minzhi who was running behind him.
Lin Minzhi touched him suddenly and found his clothes were soaked with snow water.
His chest and trouser legs were all dirty and covered with snow and mud. He probably ran too fast and fell.
At first glance, Lin Minzhi felt heartbroken!
Ji Mian was completely unaware and anxiously pulled Lin Minzhi's sleeve: "Mom, find someone."
Lin Minzhi wanted to be angry, but when she saw Ji Mian's anxious and pale face, her expression became serious.
My son is looking for someone? Who? Is there any need to rush?
Before Lin Minzhi could figure it out, the mother and son saw a small figure curled up on the ground next to the public telephone booth.
He was covered in ice and snow and was so cold that he had lost consciousness.
Lin Minzhi's pupils shrank slightly, she exclaimed "Ah", and quickly put Ji Mian down.
Ji Mian's heart was pounding, and he knew intuitively that the person lying in the snow was Fu Chenyu!
So, as soon as he was free, he started running forward with his short legs.
Lin Minzhi hurriedly said: "Mianmian!"
This sound awakened Fu Chenyu for a moment.
The small piece of paper with Ning Qian's phone number in his hand had disappeared.
Fu Chenyu remembered that he wanted to call his mother at a public telephone booth, but the snow was too heavy, he was cold and hungry, and his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't open them.
Although it was snowing heavily, he felt that his whole body was strangely hot.
I called again and again, but no one answered.
Later, his vision gradually blurred, and he slowly curled up his body and leaned against the glass of the telephone booth.
So cold...
So hungry...
Who will save him...
He looked like he was about to die.
On New Year's Eve, every household lit up the lights, and through the windows, a warm silent movie was played in front of him.
On this night of reunion, no one noticed that there was an abandoned child who was about to die at the beginning of the new year.
As Fu Chenyu's tears fell, they turned into ice chips.
He really wanted to ask Ning Qian why she gave birth to him if she was going to abandon him.
Despair and pain enveloped him at this moment, and the fear of death made him tremble instinctively.
At first, he could still cry, but later his breath became weaker and weaker, and his breathing became inaudible.
His consciousness was disappearing bit by bit, and Fu Chenyu could no longer even feel the cold.
Just when he was at his most desperate, he seemed to hear a woman's voice calling him.
Fu Chenyu opened his eyes with difficulty.
In the vast snow, someone ran towards him regardless of his own safety.
Fu Chenyu only remembered that he saw a pair of clear eyes, and his miserable appearance was reflected in the pupils.
He remembered the worry and self-blame in those eyes deeply for the rest of his life.
In the last second before he lost consciousness, he heard a baby voice calling his name in panic:
"Fu Chenyu!"
