Lin Chengbu only felt that he was sweating in this really not hot weather today, and the clothes on his back were soaked through.

After the worker finished speaking, he just clicked, "You are his friend, right? Does he have a problem with his brain?"

Lin Chengbu didn't speak, and another worker took over the conversation: "It doesn't seem to be a problem at ordinary times, just talk less."

"That's right, don't you talk to us when you go to the toilet? It doesn't seem like there is a problem," the worker looked in the direction of Yuan Wuchuan, "Did you get some irritation? ?"

The fool slapped him and waved his hands ahhh.

"I'll just say something," said the worker, "and think it's a strange thing for him."

"Thank you," Lin Chengbu touched his body. He didn't even have a whole pack of cigarettes, so he had to take out his wallet, "Thanks to you..."

"Hey!" The worker quickly pushed his hand away when he saw his wallet, "Don't take the money, it's not necessary, let alone the neighbors who have been around for so long, even if you don't know them, we will all save them. It is the rule for us to save people on board."

The fool also pushed him, motioning him to go back to Yuanwu's boat.

"Come back," another worker said, "he still choked on the water, and then fell asleep without saying a word. You go and watch, don't wake up and what happens."

Lin Chengbu returned to Yuanwu's boat, and stuffed the cigarette on the fool. The fool patted his shoulder and made another gesture. Lin Chengbu couldn't understand what it meant, so he thought he was a fool and told him not to worry. .

"Thank you," he said.

After the fool left, he walked to the window and looked in, Yuan Wu was still lying in that position.

After hesitating for a while, he gently pushed open the cabin door and walked in, and sat down beside Yuan Wu.

After staring at Yuan Wu for a few minutes, he couldn't hold it back, he reached out and probed under Yuan Wu's nose, and then retracted his hand after feeling his breath.

"Why are you?" Lin Chengbu looked at Yuan Wu and said softly, "You always ask why, why are you... I want to ask now, why are you?"

Yuan Wu seemed to be sleeping soundly, of course it was impossible to answer him.

He also didn't expect Yuan Wu to answer. Facing Yuan Wu, he almost didn't dare to do anything. When he heard the workers' words, for a moment, he even hoped that Yuan Wu would return to his previous state.

Seriously live the current life without any changes, maybe it will not be an accident.

But is it really possible?

Lin Chengbu looked at Yuan Wu's tightly closed eyes, if there was no external force, would Yuan Wu really be like this forever?

No way.

When he talked to Jiang Chengyu about Yuan Wu's state before, he said that he was afraid that Yuan Wu would live like this all his life, Jiang Chengyu laughed.

"You are too naive. Nothing will stay the same forever. Even if you think nothing has changed, time is always changing. Every minute and every second is different."

This was the only time he felt that Jiang Chengyu's statement that he was a Philosophy graduate might be true.

Yuan Wu, what the hell happened?

Lin Chengbu always knew that his mental problems were quite serious, but he never thought that he would suddenly commit suicide.

Is it suicide?

Lin Chengbu frowned.

He couldn't imagine how Yuan Wu dived underwater, grabbed a handful of water plants and never let go.

Now that such a description came to mind after he had calmed down, he suddenly felt chills.

The chill penetrated into the bones little by little.

aquatic plants.

asphyxia.

Fatal attraction from water.

These contents appear repeatedly in Xingtian's stories, and each time will be different.

And what made him deeply fear was the last story.

Yuan Wu has not yet written the last story.

Lin Chengbu's breathing began to become difficult, he moved gently to the small table next to him, and brought Yuan Wu's notebook over.

The notebook was turned on, and after the screen turned on, Lin Chengbu saw the document that was not closed.

"The final decision is still the initial decision, nothing has changed, he went around a lot, and finally returned to the starting point...

What we're looking for, what we're running from, no one can tell...

The road to the end looks different, but the end is silent...

Those questions about oneself, or noise, or silence, have answers, or no answers, in the end no one remembers...

He sat on the bow of the boat, with cool water under his feet, surrounded, danced lightly, and left...

Is down below the answer? No one knows, but there will never be an answer here, leave the place he can't live without, go where he doesn't know if he can reach...

He went down and down until he couldn't go any further...

Here it is, no looking back, he reaches out and grabs those green elfs that stretch, dance, and look happy..."

Lin Chengbu closed the notebook. He felt out of breath. After taking a few deep breaths, he lightly took Yuan Wu's cigarette and went to the stern.

The air in Shenqiao was still so good, the cool air with the smell of water was poured into his lungs, and his breathing finally calmed down.

He had seen all these stories, but when he read it again today, he felt completely different.

Yuan Wu didn't know what kind of mood he was in when he wrote these words, what kind of feeling would make him take this story as an operation manual.

The phone rang in his pocket, and it was a message from Jiang Chengyu.

-what's the situation?

- I can't say a few words. I jumped into a river. I'm fine now. I'm sleeping.

-sleep? you are him

- Sure enough, I have the style of the best bartender on the 18th. If you have anything, please contact me

Putting the phone aside, Lin Chengbu leaned on the boat, took a cigarette from Yuan Wu's cigarette case, and didn't light it.

What does Yuan Wu think every time he stays here and looks at the water?

Lin Chengbu didn't know, and couldn't understand it. From childhood to adulthood, he basically didn't keep anything in his heart for too long, he didn't like to think about things, and he wasn't sensitive, and even bothered many people. Sexuality, he didn't think much about it.

Maybe it's heredity. When talked to parents, they even managed to digest it like a fight with him.

But in this way, he happened to meet a person like Yuan Wu.

He knows Yuan Wu very well, he knows what he likes to eat and drink, what he wears and listens to, his birthday, his address, his height and weight, if he doesn't dare to follow Yuan Wu when he goes to the toilet , he would even know Yuan Wu's size, so shameless.

But he also doesn't know Yuan Wu very well, he doesn't know the environment he grew up in, he doesn't know what he's thinking, he doesn't know what really bothers him, he doesn't know why he has a bad temper sometimes, and he doesn't know his indifference and anxiety what's behind.

Maybe he will know it gradually, just like he looked at Yuan Wu in confusion for so long and suddenly found out that Yuan Wu was not amnesia, nor was he obsessed with wanting some stories to appear where they should appear in their original state. ...

Lin Chengbu never dared to really think about this, he didn't know how to face Yuan Wu, who was no longer Yuan Wu.

The rear cabin door rang, and before Lin Chengbu turned his head, he could already see Yuan Wu walking out of the cabin in the corner of his light.

"You..." Lin Chengbu jumped up, the cigarette in his mouth fell on the boat, "Awake?"

"Well," Yuan Wu glanced at him, bent down to pick up the cigarette, and put it in his mouth, "Why are you here?"

"I'm coming... to see you," Lin Chengbu took out a lighter and held it in front of Yuan Wu, looking at his still wet hair, "I'm not going to work today."

"Is there anything to eat?" Yuan Wu leaned forward and lit a cigarette, "I'm hungry, I feel hungry when I see you."

"A snack, do you want me to make something else for you?" Lin Chengbu said.

"Snacks are all you need," Yuan Wu glanced at him, "Your face is really bad, you didn't sleep, okay?"

"It was all a mess of dreams all night," Lin Chengbu turned around and remembered that all the dishes and food were in the car, "Then what... the snacks are in the car, I forgot to bring them."

"Go get it." Yuan Wu said.

to get?

Simple as that!

can not! dare not! Walk away, who knows if you will plunge into the water and hold the water plants without letting go!

Lin Chengbu stared at him for a while: "You accompany me to get it."

Yuan Wu looked at him with a look at the second fool: "From here to the dock, there are 27 boats in total. It takes five minutes to walk and five minutes to come back. Even the big heads come and go like the wind. You want me to accompany you when you go. ?"

"Yes," Lin Chengbu nodded, "I'm... afraid."

Yuan Wu looked at him and said nothing, and after a while he puffed a small cigarette at him: "Did you fall into the water again when you first came here?"

"No," Lin Chengbu bit his lip, "you accompany me."

"Why?" Yuan Wu probably felt a little inexplicable.

"By..." Lin Chengbu wanted to say that I was your boyfriend, but he didn't dare to say it. He didn't know if Yuan Wu's incident today had anything to do with him taking advantage of it yesterday, "It's just that you're hungry."

Yuan Wu continued to look at him and gave him a thumbs up for a long time: "This reason is absolutely flawless."

Lin Chengbu followed Yuan Wu to the pier, and when he was halfway there, he saw the big head still counting ants lonely on the pier.

He suddenly became nervous. He was afraid that when he saw Yuan Wu, he would excitedly ask about the previous matter. Now that Yuan Wu has not mentioned this matter, Lin Chengbu could not judge whether he forgot or did not say it. don't know how he would react to hearing him from the big head.

He could only savagely and suddenly jumped in front of Yuan Wu and walked quickly towards the pier.

"Am I hungry or are you hungry..." Yuan Wu said behind him.

Lin Chengbu didn't bother to answer, and jumped onto the pier. Datou had already stood by the pier and was about to start shouting. He quickly pinched Datou's face: "Don't ask Brother Xiaowu about the morning, do you know? He doesn't want to. If you ask him about this, he will be sad, understand?"

The big head was pinched by his face, but he snorted, and after he let go, he added: "I see."

"You're so smart, you're going to be a big deal in the future." Lin Chengbu patted his head.

"Uncle," Datou shouted, leaning against Lin Chengbu's leg, "good morning!"

"Morning," Yuan Wu jumped onto the pier, "Do you want some snacks?"

"Eat!" Datou replied immediately.

Lin Chengbu walked to the car with some uneasy feeling, and when he opened the car door to get something, he pricked up his ears and listened to their conversation.

But the big head is really reliable. He didn't ask about the morning, and he focused all on the snacks.

Lin Chengbu took a bag of small bread and a bag of small cakes for him to choose, and the big one picked the small cake: "I want one, and I don't need such a big bag, I can't finish it."

"Okay." Lin Chengbu tore open the bag and gave him one.

Datou took a bite of the cake, raised his head and was about to speak, when Datou's fucking voice came from the boat in front of him: "Datou - come back for breakfast!"

"Oh—" Datou responded, turned around and waved at them, jumped onto the boat, and ran towards his own boat, "I'm going to have breakfast!"

Datou stood at the bow of the boat and looked towards the pier for a while, Lin Chengbu nodded at her, and then walked back with Yuan Wu.

"When did you come?" Yuan Wu asked.

"It's been a while," Lin Chengbu said, "you were sleeping when you came."

"Oh," Yuan Wu responded, took a few steps forward and turned around, "You said you were my boyfriend?"

Lin Chengbu was taken aback by this somewhat sudden question, but in order to be consistent, he snorted vaguely.

"Why didn't you tell me when you came here?" Yuan Wu continued to walk forward.

"I... don't dare." Lin Chengbu said the truth, he really didn't dare.

Yuan Wu didn't ask any more questions. When he got back to the boat, he took a can of Coke and sat at the stern of the boat. He reached out and took two small buns to eat.

"Is there anything else to drink? Milk or something, don't you use milk to froth milk," Lin Chengbu said, "Don't drink Coke early in the morning."

"No, I didn't seem to sleep last night. I drank a few cups of coffee, and the milk froth was gone." Yuan Wu said.

"You... haven't slept?" Lin Chengbu squatted beside him, "It seems?"

"Well," Yuan Wu took a bite of the bread, "I sometimes can't tell if I'm dreaming or awake."

Lin Chengbu didn't speak, he remembered how Yuan Wu squatted at the stern of the boat and cried bitterly in the middle of the night. It was only that one time, or it was always like that.

I don't know, but thinking about it makes Yuan Wu feel helpless.

If he didn't find Yuan Wu, would such Yuan Wu always be like this, crying alone in the middle of the night when it was raining heavily...

"Have you read my novel?" Yuan Wu asked.

"I've seen it, I've seen some," Lin Chengbu retracted his thoughts, thought about it, and then added, "I'm not your reader, and I don't want your signed book."

"Yes, you've seen it," Yuan Wu thought for a while, "you can still tell the content."

"...Well." Lin Chengbu found that Yuan Wu had ignored the plot of the chapter that had not been posted online when he said the content.

"Did you say," Yuan Wu took a sip of Coke, "you're sick?"

"I didn't say it, it was you who said I was sick," Lin Chengbu said, "I mean I'm... a ghost."

"Well, I remember," Yuan Wu looked calm, took a bite of the bread and turned to look at him, "Why do you want me to send the ghost in line in front of you away?"

"I..." Lin Chengbu closed his eyes and took a breath, "I want you to find the past, with my past."

"That's it." Yuan Wu lowered his head and stuffed the rest of the bread into his mouth, staring at the Coke on the boat and didn't say a word.

Lin Chengbu looked at his profile, and couldn't tell whether the unusually calm person in front of him was Yuan Wu.

The demeanor and the way of speaking are familiar to him, cold and calm, and he doesn't seem to be surprised or curious about anything, but the content of his words is still the same as before.

"Are those pasts important?" Yuan Wu asked.

"Important," Lin Chengbu looked at him, "very important."

"For you?" Yuan Wu glanced at him.

"It's the same for you, people live a lifetime, don't ask for anything else, at least remember yourself." Lin Chengbu said.

Yuan Wu picked up the Coke can and raised it at him: "It makes sense."

What followed was a long silence, Yuan Wu stopped talking, and Lin Chengbu didn't know what to say, so he also took a piece of bread and nibbled silently.

"My novel," Yuan Wu said after eating three loaves of bread, "I'm almost finished."

"So fast?" Lin Chengbu asked.

Yuan Wu's words made him nervous. The novel is not almost finished. Compared with Xingtian's previous novel, this one has been written at most one-third, and it is just the beginning of the novel.

But Yuan Wu said it was almost finished.

Lin Chengbu knew why he was almost finished, because later, there was no more, and all the stories, whether they were finished or not, only ended here.

"Well," Yuan Wu said, "I can't write anymore... The editor is going to chop me up with a knife. This must be considered a mess."

"If you can't write it, don't write it anymore," Lin Chengbu said. "How come you are comfortable, there are so many unfinished ends, the editors will cut them down one by one until next year, and then it will be your turn."

Yuan Wu looked at him for a while and suddenly laughed.

This smile was very happy, Lin Chengbu could see that Yuan Wu was relaxed now, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

"There are still two chapters to the end," Yuan Wu said, "I have already set the time, and I will update it when the time comes."

"Yeah." Lin Chengbu nodded.

"Go and try," Yuan Wu patted the crumbs on his hands, "I have time."

"Try what?" Lin Chengbu was stunned.

"Try if I can send you to Samsara," Yuan Wu raised his head and drank the Coke, squeezed the can, "start from the first one."
