The two finally broke away from the team, and Xie Jin dragged Ji Xiangye into a dark room covered by black cloth in a daze.

The source of light in the house is only the light strip at the bottom of the fish tank, and the creatures floating with the water waves in the tank become more mysterious and beautiful.

Ji Xiangye didn't marvel at those beautiful jellyfish, he looked at Xie Jin's silent face, and asked cautiously, "What's wrong with you?"

The hands that were holding each other were suddenly pulled away by Xie Jin unilaterally, Ji Xiangye was a little surprised, all his worried thoughts were frozen on his face, and then he heard Xie Jin speak out.

"I don't know, I seem to have forgotten a lot of things, it seems that there is a very important person waiting for me, but..."

Xie Jin took two steps back, his height was just enough to reach the glass part of the fish tank, he grabbed his hair, "But I can't remember anything, this place is so strange to me."

Ji Xiangye has never seen Xie Jin like this, children of their age have only been born for ten years, so what is the trouble?

And the so-called important people are waiting to be forgotten.

"Aren't you awake yet? The important people to you are here, Auntie...and me!" Ji Xiangye stepped forward to grab Xie Jin's hand, but he didn't expect that he would be caught Xie Jin patted it away.

He looked up in a daze, and found that under the dim light of the warm-colored light bar, there were tears in the corners of Xie Jin's eyes. Ji Xiangye had never seen Xie Jin cry so much like today.

In Ji Xiangye's impression, Xie Jin has always been a person with a smile on his face. He didn't cry when his parents divorced, and he didn't cry when he went swimming in the swimming pool and almost drowned because of the mistakes of the adults next to him.

It's Xie Jin who is like this, shed tears because of someone who didn't exist in the mere nightmare, it's too unbelievable.

There was a slight sobbing in his ear, Ji Xiangye looked up at the jellyfish floating in the water, touched Xie Jin lightly with the back of his hand, and said, "Why don't we slip away."

"What? But the teacher..." Xie Jin was obviously moved, even he himself was not sure if it was right to do so, but Ji Xiangye didn't give him any time to think.

"Let's go! I'll take you to a better looking place."

Ji Xiangye grabbed Xie Jin's arm and led him through the bustling crowd in the aquarium. The tears on Xie Jin's face had already been dried by the wind of running.

The sound of quiet water and the sound of people talking were wonderfully blended together. When Xie Jin was about to be pulled out of the jellyfish house, he heard an extremely loud baby crying.

He looked towards the source of the sound. Not far from him, there was a young couple pushing a stroller, and the young mother was holding a very small baby in her arms.

The baby didn't seem to be one year old yet, but he seemed to feel Xie Jin's gaze, and suddenly stopped crying and looked this way.

After the two looked at each other briefly, Xie Jin was pulled out of the jellyfish pavilion by Ji Xiangye. The baby seemed to be stunned for a moment. He raised his fleshy arm like a lotus root and grabbed at the place where Xie Jin disappeared. Caught him, as if trying to keep him.

"Why is Yanyan crying so hard?" The young mother patted the baby on the back, and asked the man beside him softly, "Is this the first time you're scared when you come out to a place with so many people?"

"It's possible, maybe he's afraid of the dark." The man took the baby from his wife, and he smiled apologetically at the people around him who were disturbed, seeing his son's face blushing from crying, he I had no choice but to make a decision, "There is no other way, let's go home."

When Xie Jin was pulled out of the aquarium by Ji Xiangye, the sky outside was already shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the originally muggy weather gradually became cooler as the sun went down.

"Are you really okay? If you don't say hello to the teacher, she will be in a hurry." Xie Jin was still a little uneasy, and he frequently turned his head to look at the aquarium behind him.

I always feel a little concerned, but it seems that the person who cares is not Teacher Yang. Xie Jin's appearance was seen by Ji Xiangye, and he dispelled Xie Jin's worries with one sentence before Xie Jin proposed to go back and have a look.

"Don't worry, I made an agreement with someone before falling behind, and when the teacher rolls the roll, he will tell the teacher for us."

Ji Xiangye let go of Xie Jin, and he rushed to the front in a few steps. The warm sunset stretched his shadow infinitely, covering most of Xie Jin's body behind him, but Ji Xiangye didn't think there was anything wrong, he ran backwards towards Xie Jin and tiptoed .

"Let's go, I'll take you to a place."

I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, Xie Jin just nodded and followed Ji Xiangye's footsteps. He didn't notice that the sun hanging in the sky gradually changed color, and the clouds were like cotton smeared with blood, so red that it seemed to be dripping blood .

Arriving at the place Ji Xiangye called, Xie Jin found that it was a fish shop hidden in a remote corner of the Flower, Bird, Fish and Insect Market. It was getting dark outside, but the main lights were not turned on here.

The owner of the shop was sitting on the reclining chair by the fish tank blowing the fan. He heard movement at the door, but he just looked up and saw two children, Xie Jin and Ji Xiangye, so he didn't say anything polite and let them go by themselves. Look.

"You were right in the aquarium just now." Ji Xiangye touched the fish tank. He looked at the goldfish swimming back and forth in the small tank, and suddenly turned to Xie Jin.

"But the fish here are different. They are born with their destiny controlled by humans. The meaning of their existence is to be bought by different people to take home and watch. Are they also pitiful?"

Facing Ji Xiangye's unusual tone, Xie Jin suddenly didn't know how to answer. He looked at Ji Xiangye's smiling face. Although those eyes were bent, there was no smile in them.

"I, I don't know." Xie Jin retracted his chin slightly, and he subconsciously looked at the fish tank behind Ji Xiangye. The glass tank that accommodated all kinds of goldfish seemed to be where they were born and died.

"Each of us is like a goldfish squeezed into a fish tank, lingering on and living a ridiculous life from birth to death."

Ji Xiangye patted Xie Jin on the shoulder, and after saying something incredible, he waved to the boss, "Boss, help me catch some fish!"

The sound of the boss pumping oxygen into the plastic bag came from his ears, Xie Jin was still pondering the meaning of those words just now, and Ji Xiangye had already walked up to him again carrying the bag containing the goldfish.

He bought a black goldfish, but for some unknown reason, the fish looked crippled, as if it would die easily if it made a mistake.

The two left the Flower, Bird, Fish and Insect Market and walked slowly along the not tall buildings by the roadside. Xie Jin didn't speak, and Ji Xiangye didn't ask any questions.

The two walked back and forth on the side of the road. The black goldfish spit a few bubbles in the plastic bag feebly. It looked at this strange world with its dark eyes.

The sky was completely shrouded in red, and Xie Jin finally looked up at the sunset that seemed to be in front of him. The red stinged his eyes, and for a moment he became dazed along with his sight.

"Let's go there and have a rest." Ji Xiangye pointed to a park not far away, which Xie Jin recognized as the park they often visited.

The discomfort in his body became more and more obvious. He frowned and agreed almost without thinking, but the abnormality did not ease until he sat on the swing.

Xie Jin raised his hand to cover his head, looked back again, and found that Ji Xiangye had climbed onto the highest climbing frame in the fitness equipment at some point, and was looking down at himself with a condescending smile.

"Aye, it's too dangerous, come down... uh!" Xie Jin looked at Ji Xiangye's posture, and he was already in a cold sweat. He wanted to get up to stop it, but the nerves in his eyes suddenly hurt like a needle, and he had to cover it. My eyes, leaning on the iron lock of the swing, waiting for the pain to ease.

Ji Xiangye didn't mean to listen to the persuasion. Instead, he held the plastic bag with the black goldfish in one hand and stood up from the climbing frame.

"Xie Jin, have you ever doubted the authenticity of this world?"

A bloody sun hung on Ji Xiangye's back within reach, and the red sunlight turned the skin of both of them into a dark red. Only the goldfish in the plastic bag was extremely conspicuous in the red.

Xie Jin covered his left eye with one hand. He didn't understand what Ji Xiangye was talking about, so he could only watch the other side open the tied plastic bag and reach out to grab the black goldfish inside.

"Everyone in this world has a goldfish in their hands, haven't you realized it yet?" Ji Xiangye raised the hand holding the goldfish, and Xie Jin could see the black fishtail between his fingers Struggling to swing.

The tingling sensation from his head became more and more obvious, Xie Jin clenched his back molars, and while he looked at Ji Xiangye, many memory fragments that did not belong to him flashed in front of him.

"Aye, what are you talking about, it's too dangerous, come down quickly!" Enduring the severe pain from the nerves in his eyes, Xie Jin stretched out his hand toward the place where Ji Xiangye was, "...Please, come down quickly!"

But the other party ignored this request at all. Ji Xiangye held the black goldfish gasping for breath due to lack of oxygen in his hands. He shook the goldfish towards Xie Jin, and then threw it to the hard ground.

A small black ball splashed a small blood flower on the hard concrete floor, Xie Jin saw the goldfish flick its tail with the last bit of strength, and the body lay there without moving.

Why? Why do you want to do this?

He looked at Ji Xiangye who was smiling in disbelief. The boy who grew up with him became so unfamiliar at this time, it was like... It was like a different person under this skin.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Jin saw Ji Xiangye climbing up again. He climbed to the highest position of the climbing frame, crossed the iron fence with one leg, and sat at the highest place without any protection.

If a gust of wind could blow Ji Xiangye down now, Xie Jin naturally knew that he couldn't care about the severe pain in his head, and he shouted at the boy on the climbing frame.

"Aye, what are you doing! Come down! It's too dangerous, come down!"

But Ji Xiangye took his words as a deaf ear, looking directly at the blood-red sun that was close at hand, Ji Xiangye stretched out his hand to the blood-red sky.

"Do you know Xie Jin, this world has two sides. I thought you would forget everything here, and only remember me and your aunt, the two most important people to you."

He seemed to laugh, maybe he was laughing at himself. He grabbed the railing under his buttocks and leaned back at forty-five degrees. Xie Jin thought for a moment that he was going to fall from it.

But no, Ji Xiangye just looked back at Xie Jin in an exaggerated and unbelievable posture, "I didn't expect you to still remember."

"...What do you mean? From just now, what are you talking about." Xie Jin pursed his lips, he couldn't understand the meaning of the other party's words, but every time Ji Xiangye said something, the tingling in his head would get heavier one cent.

"You don't need to understand what I'm talking about. Simply speaking, your will affects the world, so when you realize the 'sense of disobedience' here, the world collapses."

A gust of wind from nowhere blew Ji Xiangye's vertical downward hair, and his eyes hidden in the hair fixedly stared at Xie Jin, "You said that I will let go now and fall to death in front of you like the goldfish just now, How would you feel?"

Messy memory fragments flashed repeatedly in his mind, Xie Jin raised his hand and patted his temple vigorously, he looked at Ji Xiangye almost pleadingly: "...No, no, don't do that, please!"

"But I want to do this." Ji Xiangye suddenly grinned at Xie Jin, he let go of his hands holding the railing, and the whole body began to fall rapidly, "It's like, like two years ago."

The falling figure coincided with the memory fragments from two years ago. Xie Jin's eyes widened. He wanted to run over to make amends, but his knees softened and hit the ground hard, and he yelled out heart-piercingly.

"Ano!!!!!!"
