Chapter 17 Fortunately, she is stupid. "Oh, it's really unbearable." ...
"Oh, this is incredible."
Hearing this sigh, Su Huaiwang simply ignored it and reached out to grab a pocky and chew it.
"I said it's really terrible, did you hear it?" Tu Zhizhuo shouted again and kicked Su Huaiwang's calf.
Su Huaiwang ignored her and focused on the movie playing on TV: "Sorry, I'm watching a movie and can't hear the mosquitoes buzzing."
On TV, the hero and heroine were screaming at each other in pain, and the sharp sound made people's heads hurt.
Tu Zhizhuo picked up the remote control and turned down the volume twice, saying dissatisfiedly, "What a rubbish movie. It just screams when something happens."
"Isn't this the movie you chose?" Su Huaiwang turned his head and looked straight at Tu Zhizhuo.
"Ahem," Tu Zhizhuo cleared his throat awkwardly. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Answer my question."
"What question did you ask?"
"What's going on between you and that little beauty?"
"Can you stop calling me little beauty all the time? I have a name, okay?" Su Huaiwang said subconsciously.
But all he got in return was Tu Zhizhuo's sour comment: "Oh my, you're already starting to defend yourself. Alas, you only hear the newcomers laughing, but don't see the old ones crying."
"You're almost there."
"Alright, alright," Tu Zhizhuo raised his hands, compromising. "I'll obey you. You're my best friend after all. So what's going on between you and Lin Jue?"
"What could be the situation..." Su Huaiwang's eyes wandered: "It's just what you see, a neighbor, maybe... a friend, that's all."
"I don't remember you and my friend ever having such a romantic run under the sunset."
"Have you forgotten? Two winters ago, we went to the South China Sea and you dragged me along for a run in the sunset for an hour."
Su Huaiwang looked at Tu Zhizhuo with a pair of dead fish eyes, which made Tu Zhizhuo feel a little guilty: "The atmosphere, the atmosphere is different."
"What's the difference?"
"Hmm... well, I'm a little confused about how to put it. You two have a feeling... that you only have eyes for each other?"
"I think you're starting to make up stories to make your story more convincing."
Su Huaiwang made a decisive conclusion, and Tu Zhizhuo really couldn't find any evidence to refute her. She racked her brains but couldn't find any evidence that the two of them were having an affair in her brain, which was always dominated by feelings.
Looking at Tu Zhizhuo who was thinking hard, Su Huaiwang breathed a sigh of relief.
Really, it’s a good thing Tu Zhizhuo is stupid.
If she finds out that she has feelings for Lin Jue, it will not be a simple matter.
Given Tu Zhizhuo's personality, she would definitely be planning to make her confess and come up with a bunch of bad ideas to so-called "enhance their relationship."
Including today's barbecue, although the result was good, it doesn't mean that Su Huaiwang thinks it's not a bad idea.
Unlike Tu Zhizhuo, Su Huaiwang simply followed her instincts. Her parents had always taught her to be self-disciplined and rational, and even now, having decided to liberate her instincts, she couldn't escape the influence of that upbringing.
She had no doubt that her little impulse towards Lin Jue would be smoothed over with time, and then she would be able to clear away those erotic dreams and those replaying memory fragments as rootless things.
Thinking of this, the woman paused in eating snacks and her fingers began to rub unconsciously.
When they were playing in the water today, when Lin Jue held her wrist and let go, he unconsciously brushed her fingers. That feeling has remained in her mind ever since.
It's cold, like the submerged water hidden at the bottom of the lake.
"But the reason I came to see you this time is not just for the little beauty." Tu Zhizhuo's voice brought Su Huaiwang back from his inappropriate reverie.
"?"
Seeing Su Huaiwang's puzzled expression, Tu Zhizhuo couldn't help but pinch her face.
"My best friend is more important than the little beauty, isn't she? I want to see how you've been doing and whether you've been living a good life."
Three years ago, when Su Huaiwang heard the bad news about her parents, she was not in a good state for a whole month. She often stayed in the house for the whole day. If Tu Zhizhuo had not forcibly pulled her out, she might not even eat a bite of food that day.
At that time, Su Huaiwang gave people the feeling of an empty shell, with very little sadness, but more confusion and incomprehension, as if a person who was originally walking on a very obvious road was suddenly placed in a wilderness where there was no road at all.
But life is a wilderness.
Fortunately, Su Huaiwang survived. After her parents' funeral, she told Tu Zhizhuo that she would try to do what she wanted to do.
Tu Zhizhuo was both happy and worried after hearing this. She was happy that Su Huaiwang finally had the motivation to continue. She was already a senior at university at that time and was about to go abroad. She could not always be with Su Huaiwang, and Su Huaiwang had to learn to live alone. What worried her was that in Su Huaiwang's plan for her life, the graduate qualification that the school had granted her was definitely not included.
In the end, Su Huaiwang deviated from the path her parents had originally planned for her, traveled around various cities with her university diploma, and finally came here.
A project that her parents invested in during their lifetime but abandoned halfway.
Just like her.
"You've been doing pretty well lately." Tu Zhizhuo pinched the flesh on Su Huaiwang's face, and felt the skin was delicate and smooth, which made her very satisfied. "I feel like you've gained weight, and your spirits are much better. How should I put it? Is it the nourishment of love?"
"In case you don't know, Lin Jue just moved in a month ago." Su Huaiwang's face was pinched and his voice was a little distorted.
Tu Zhizhuo raised his eyebrows: "Now when I mention love, you think of her?"
Su Huaiwang was furious and slapped her hand away: "Talk nonsense again!"
Tu Zhizhuo laughed for a while, then said seriously, "Honestly, the dark circles are gone. Has anything good happened recently?"
Due to sleep disorders, Su Huaiwang has had dark circles under her eyes since her student days, which only improved when she took melatonin medication.
As Tu Zhizhuo spoke, he gently touched her eye sockets with his fingers. It was a very warm feeling, and Su Huaiwang's expression couldn't help but soften.
"...I've been sleeping very well recently." Su Huaiwang felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look at Tu Zhizhuo.
Putting aside the erotic dream part, she did sleep very well and woke up every morning feeling relaxed, completely different from her usual tiredness.
If she had to choose between having erotic dreams or returning to her old nightmares, heart palpitations, night sweats, and night terrors... she would of course choose...
wrong!
Su Huaiwang quickly stopped the inappropriate thoughts in his mind.
On the other side, Tu Zhizhuo was a little confused as to why the skin under his hands suddenly became hot.
"Is it suddenly better? Has anything else changed recently?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the skin under Tu Zhizhuo's hands became even hotter, almost boiling hot.
"No, no..." Su Huaiwang avoided his gaze.
"There must be something." Tu Zhizhuo's expression became sharp, and his eyes seemed to penetrate Su Huaiwang's eyes to see what was going on in her mind.
"I've already told you no...you have to believe me!" Su Huaiwang was still trying to be stubborn.
Fortunately, Tu Zhizhuo didn't pursue the matter: "Alright, alright. I believe you. It's your personal privacy after all. As long as I see that you are doing well, I will feel relieved."
Tu Zhizhuo rubbed his friend's face lovingly and looked at her with a smile.
"I'm doing well, you don't have to worry." Su Huaiwang also smiled and patted Tu Zhizhuo's hand.
"However," Tu Zhizhuo changed the subject, "it's better to go get it checked out, right?"
"What?" Su Huaiwang didn't react for a moment.
Tu Zhizhuo pointed at his solar plexus and said, "About amnesia. You still can't remember anything?"
Silence. Su Huaiwang searched his blank mind, frowning, "I can't remember..."
Tu Zhizhuo quickly comforted her: "If you can't remember, then forget it. It's not something particularly important anyway."
Although she said so, she couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.
Su Huaiwang forced a smile and said, "It's been a year. There are no other problems. Let's just let it go."
Regardless of the cause and process conveyed by others or the staff standing at her bedside at the time, the entire "Nanguan Village Incident" was full of doubts. But precisely for this reason, Su Huaiwang felt it was better not to explore it further.
As a citizen who grew up in this safe country, Su Huaiwang has a strong sense of trust in state organs.
What's more, when she was discharged from the hospital, the staff gave her contact information and told her to contact them if she felt anything was wrong.
At that time, the staff said "something is wrong" instead of "something that makes the body uncomfortable". This alone is very suspicious.
However, in order not to make his friend worry more, Su Huaiwang concealed this part when talking to her.
Su Huaiwang held her phone tightly. She wasn't the type to bother others, so she didn't want to bother others, nor did she want others to bother her, but...
"If that situation happens again, I will go check it out again." Su Huaiwang promised.
"You must go." Tu Zhizhuo was skeptical.
"Yeah." Su Huaiwang nodded, hiding the slightly uneasy look in his eyes.
I can only hope that time will pass and the impact of that incident will completely disappear.
-
In a world of scattered embers, Lin Jue opened his eyes.
Even in her own world, she tried her best to maintain the vivid color of human skin. Other pale souls were not allowed to appear in this foggy world. Resentful ghosts always had a strong sense of territory, so Lin Jue was the only color in this world.
She stepped into Su Huaiwang's soft dream.
Today was another normal and peaceful dream. If Su Huaiwang didn't need to relieve his desire, then all he needed was a simple hug from her.
Ever since Tu Zhizhuo arrived, Su Huaiwang's dreams had been as peaceful as this every night. Lin Jue looked down at Su Huaiwang, who lay safely huddled in his arms, and a surge of jealousy grew within him.
She reached out and carefully touched Su Huaiwang's hair, feeling a little confused because of the inexplicable disappointment in her heart.
She was familiar with jealousy, resentment, anger, and the love Su Huaiwang brought her, but she was not familiar with this disappointment.
Even when Su Huaiwang left her at that time, she was not disappointed, but just sad and longing to have him back by her side.
But what is disappointment? What exactly is she disappointed about? Or rather, what was she expecting? What did she expect that was not fulfilled? She should be extremely satisfied as long as she could be with Su Huaiwang, so she shouldn't be disappointed.
But she was just disappointed in something. What was it that should have happened but didn't? Lin Jue didn't know why.
She looked up at Su Huaiwang's bizarre dream, and tore a few nightmares into pieces, but stopped for a moment because of a strange smell.
This is……?
She frowned and looked at it carefully.
A deserted village stood among the fragments of dreams at her fingertips.
Lin Jue was very familiar with this place.
Her expression remained unchanged as she tore the deserted village into pieces even more.
Since Su Huaiwang doesn't like this place, and she doesn't like this place either, then she would rather——
Su Huaiwang will never remember it.
