    Chapter 15 You Can't

    The phone screen went dark, and Li Xuan pressed his eyebrows a little tiredly.

    I didn't notice it when was talking, and when quieted down, realized that it was raining heavily again.The fine raindrops formed a silver thread under the street lamp, Li Xuan looked at the raindrops for a while, then turned and went back to the living room.

    "Finished the phone call?" Sheng Min heard the balcony door open, and raised his head from the dining table, "Come over and have dinner, the soup is getting cold, I'll go warm it up."

    Looking at him, Li Xuan couldn't help but think of the conversation with Qi Boyuan again, he hesitated to speak.

    "What's wrong?" Sheng Min asked.

    Li Xuan hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't speak. He glanced at the dishes on the table: "Why didn't you eat?"

    Sheng Min was stunned for a moment, and put the soup into the microwave: "I'll wait for you."

    "What is there to wait for?" Li Xuanshun said.It was only after the words came out that I felt that the tone sounded a little rushed, "I mean, don't wait, you eat yours, I'm not used to others waiting for me."

    "Oh." Sheng Min smiled, "I'm not hungry either."

    "No need next time." Li Xuan didn't say anything, pulled out the chair and sat down.

    Li Xuan had something on his mind, his appetite was not good, so he still finished his meal.After tidying up the dishes, borrowed Sheng Min's study, found the backed up source code from the USB flash drive, ran the program, and changed a few places.

    I don't know if it's because changed computer or body, but always felt that efficiency was much lower than usual. After midnight, slowly started to feel it.

    He wrote until two o'clock in the morning, moved his numb fingers, sent it to Qi Boyuan, turned off the phone and went to the bedroom.

    Sheng Min never came to disturb him, Li Xuan opened the door and found him asleep.

    There is a night light in the room, and the long pillow on the bed has been replaced by two single pillows. Sheng Min sleeps in a slightly curled up position, huddling himself into a ball, and the entire bed only takes up about a third of it., there was an open book lying on the carpet beside the bed, Li Xuan glanced at it, it was a script of a well-known play.

    He walked over to pick up the book and put it on the bedside, turned off the light and went to bed.

    After changing the code for half a night, I am actually very tired.Just lying on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep.

    The moonlight from outside the window fell on the wallpaper and left a coin-sized white spot. Li Xuan stared at it in a daze. The light spot was slowly moving from the center of the wall to the wooden floor, but he still didn't feel sleepy at all.

    Lying in one position for too long, his back was slightly stiff. Li Xuan was about to turn over when he suddenly heard Sheng Min's shortness of breath beside him. He turned his head and saw that the other person's brows were tightly frowned, as if he was having a nightmare.

    Li Xuan didn't want to bother him at first, so after hesitating for a while, he stretched out his hand impatiently, trying to shake him awake.However, before the hand touched it, Sheng Min suddenly opened his eyes and sat up all of a sudden.

    "You lied to the corpse." Li Xuan's hand almost hit him in the face before he could retract it in time.

    Sheng Min didn't speak, his heart was still heaving, he looked around the room, and then turned to look at Li Xuan.

    "Why?" He asked Sheng Min.

    Sheng Min lowered his eyes and was silent for a while before saying, "I'm having a nightmare."

    "Dream what?"

    Sheng Min opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end, just shook his head.

    Li Xuan just asked casually and didn't pursue it, but felt that it was a bit ridiculous for two men to discuss whether they had nightmares here in the middle of the night.Throwing off the quilt, she turned over and got out of bed.

    "where you go?"

    "Drink water." Li Xuan closed the door.

    He drank half a glass of ice water, and didn't go back to the bedroom immediately. He caught a glimpse of the cigarette case left on the coffee table, and took out a cigarette from it. When he lit the lighter, he pressed the lighter a few times and it didn't ignite, probably because it was raining in the afternoon.broken.

    Li Xuan didn't expect to find something like a lighter in Sheng Min's house.After thinking about it, he went into the kitchen and turned on the gas stove directly.

    The light in the kitchen has a warm color, but when it shines on the light blue tiles, it shows a strange coldness.Li Xuan took a puff of the cigarette and exhaled it again, a little smoke brushed his cheeks.

    He leaned against the countertop, raised his hand to touch his cheeks, from his eyes to the bridge of his nose to his lips, none of them belonged to him... Li Xuan couldn't help but frowned, took out his phone and glanced at andQi Boyuan's call records.

    On the company's side, it can barely be pushed down now, although many things will be inconvenient if he doesn't show up, but with Qi Boyuan here, he can always last for half a year.

    As for the school... Li Xuan pursed his lips. The professor of statistical mechanics is a retired and rehired old pedant.There are still several classes at the end of this semester, and there are exams at the end of the semester...

    Li Xuan really didn't care about grade points, credits, he didn't care if he got a diploma or not, but Li Mingge couldn't explain it to him.Li Xuan was not afraid that he would make trouble, but he promised to read it carefully, and he didn't want to break his promise...He thought of this, clicked on the calendar app, and on a day in July, he added a reminder.

    There are only more than two months left, Li Xuan thought, there is no need to have side effects on this node.But, in this situation now... His fingertips tapped up and down on the counter until someone behind him coughed deliberately.

    "How long have you been standing?" Li Xuan turned his head and saw Sheng Min standing by the door, with the light streaming down from behind him, "Are you a cat? You don't make any sound when you walk."

    "I'm afraid that if I keep silent, your fingers will be swollen." Sheng Min said softly, seeing that his fingertips were already red.

    Li Xuan hummed and stopped.Sheng Min stood by the door, but didn't leave for a while.

    "What's the matter?" Li Xuan finally asked.

    "You have something to do." Sheng Min said softly, "After you answered the phone, you felt something was wrong. Do you have something to tell me?"

    Li Xuan glanced at him and said nothing.

    Sheng Min didn't urge her, and went to the refrigerator to get a carton of milk, poured it into a milk pot and heated it up, and said again: "Are you sure you don't want to talk? I'm afraid you'll keep holding it in, and you won't be able to fall asleep in the middle of the night."

    "You woke up from a nightmare by yourself, I didn't wake you up nearby, don't be fooled." Li Xuan said in a flat tone.

    Sheng Min smiled and turned to look at him.Li Xuan pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment: "My school still has unfinished classes, so I need to go back to class."

    Sheng Min was stunned when he heard the words: "Are you still studying?"

    "Otherwise?" Li Xuan didn't expect him to pay attention to this first, "I said yesterday, I shared your birthday with you, so why is it so strange to be 21 years old and studying in college?"

    Sheng Min touched his nose: "The main thing is that you don't look like you."

    "Then what do you think I do?"

    "I don't know." Sheng Min smiled and didn't answer, but said, "Then I'll teach you the class for you, so you don't have to be so troublesome."

    Li Xuan glanced at him, then turned his head away.

    It's not actually a class.Li Xuan looked at the figure on the glass window. Although he didn't want to admit it, he did feel a little tired.

    From waking up after exchanging bodies with Sheng Min, to going to settle accounts with Zhao Yi, in fact, it was like being in a fog, being pushed forward by an invisible force, and he didn't think too much.

    But this class is like an introduction, tearing apart the fog around him with an extremely blunt posture, making him have to calm down and face a reality. Swapping bodies with Sheng Min will make many people who have plannedThings went off track.

    The most important thing is that he doesn't know when they can switch back, maybe tomorrow, maybe next year...but what if it's a lifetime?

    Li Xuan couldn't help frowning.

    Seeing his expression, Sheng Min said softly, "Don't be afraid."

    "What am I afraid of?" Li Xuan came back to his senses with a disdainful tone, he was just a little annoyed.

    Sheng Min groaned, "When do you have class?"

    Li Xuan paused for a moment, and when Sheng Min turned his head, his gaze swept across his face, he thought for a while and said, "Thursday."

    "The day after tomorrow, right? I..."

    "Thursday morning." Li Xuan said slowly, "Didn't you have an announcement? What should I do?"

    Sheng Min remembered that the commercial shooting was on Thursday.The milk pot was bubbling and bubbling, and he reached out to turn down the fire without much hesitation: "It's dawn, let Zhang Zhihua coordinate and see if we can delay the shooting of the commercial."

    "I don't want to talk to your agent."

    "I'll get in touch."

    "Don't you think it's troublesome?"

    "Two different things." Sheng Min said with a good temper, "You can't change the time of class. I will go to class for you first, and then we will go to shoot commercials..."

    "Is it a condition? I will shoot the advertisement for you, and you will take the class for me. What if I don't shoot after you finish the class?" Li Xuan reminded him leisurely, "I didn't answer you during breakfast."

    "Do you really don't want to go?" Sheng Min was startled, and frowned slightly, "Then I'll go to teach you for you first. For the advertisement, I'll try to ask Zhang Zhihua to delay the time, and you can think about it later.".”

    Li Xuan glanced at him and said flatly, "I don't think about it."

    "You haven't thought about it yet." Sheng Min said helplessly, and said after a moment, "If you don't go, I will go to class. As I said, I won't delay your work until we come back."

    "I didn't promise you."

    "Yes, I promised you."

    Li Xuan stared at him for a few seconds, Sheng Min's eyes were a bit troubled, but his expression was not fake.

    Seeing him staring at her, Sheng Min asked, "What are you thinking?"

    "I'm wondering if you're fake or stupid."

    Sheng Min sighed.

    "Li Xuan." He called his name, "I've said the reason why I want you to go. This advertisement is not my business alone. If I don't shoot it, many staff members will lose their preparations and have to work overtime later. YouI don't like it. I will try my best to push it down if there is no fixed announcement later, but this time is too tight. I hope you can go for me. Of course, if you really don't want to go, I can't force you. As for your affairs, you need toI came forward, and I will do it, and I will try my best not to disrupt your life until we change back. This is not an exchange, nor is it a condition, and these two things have nothing to do with each other. I just want to make myself feel better."

    He paused: "After all, if I hadn't committed suicide, maybe we wouldn't have made it like this. You don't have to be so troublesome."

    After he finished speaking, he fell silent, turned off the fire, took two cups and poured out the milk.

    Li Xuan really didn't expect his last words, so he didn't speak for a while, watching his movements without emotion.It took a long time before he said, "You really love to take care of yourself. Did you often write self-criticisms when you were young?"

    Sheng Min turned his head, looking a little confused.

    Li Xuan remembered what he said just now, try not to disrupt his life.

    How do you try your best, how do you not disturb?Li Xuan thought nonchalantly, but his words were all the same.But for some reason, the little exhaustion and emptiness in his heart seemed to dissipate, and it seemed to be gone.

    "I have class on Friday." Li Xuan looked at him and said.

    "Huh?" Sheng Min blinked.

    Li Xuan was also a little uncomfortable: "The one who lied to you just now, why, have you never been lied to?"

    "Boring." Sheng Min came to his senses and muttered softly, "Then do you want to shoot?"

    "No."

    Sheng Min laughed.

    "I'll write a copy of my arrangement for you tomorrow. When you receive notifications, avoid these time points, and the time you have notifications every month, don't exceed half of it. I still have a lot of things to do." Li Xuan spoke quickly.Quickly, "You shouldn't be filming recently, right?"

    "I haven't answered it now." Sheng Min said, "I'll push it down first."

    "Okay." Li Xuan nodded, turned around and prepared to go to the bedroom, thought for a while and said, "If you didn't commit suicide, I'm probably in a funeral urn right now... Don't get me wrong, there is no thanksWhat you mean, but soul exchange is not your problem, and you don't need to recognize it."

    Sheng Min was taken aback for a moment, and didn't think of calling him until Li Xuan walked to the door.

    Li Xuan stopped and turned around.

    Sheng Min handed him one of the glasses of milk: "Drink it to sleep better."

    "I don't have nightmares." Li Xuan said.

    When he mentioned it like this, Sheng Min remembered that vivid dream again.

    "Would you?" he said.

    "What will happen?" Li Xuan was puzzled.

    Sheng Min's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he said slowly, "If I didn't stop him today, would you really chop off his hand?"

    Li Xuan knew what he dreamed about.He smiled, and walked back to Sheng Min: "I'm afraid that this will happen, what are you doing during the day?"

    Sheng Min ignored it and insisted on asking again: "Can you do it?"

    "What do you think?" Li Xuan still spoke casually.

    Sheng Min stared at him for a few seconds, Li Xuan didn't dodge, just let him look at him.

    "You won't." Sheng Min said with certainty.

    Li Xuan snorted softly, wanting to refute, you know again?But he noticed the gaze of the person opposite, and it was surprisingly bright in the not-so-bright room. Li Xuan never knew that his eyes could be so bright.

    At that moment, he suddenly felt that Sheng Min really knew that Sheng Min had already understood all the thoughts that even he himself was not sure about.

    This thought made Li Xuan feel unsafe, although he couldn't explain why.

    "Drink it yourself, I don't need it." He didn't bother with this question any more, turned and left.
