It was 1:30 in the middle of the night, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road, only passing vehicles occasionally.The street lights are bright, and at first glance, it looks like peach blossom trees are planted all over the street. When the breeze blows, you can even feel the peach blossom floating.

Lian Tingyu didn't know where to go, but no matter what, he couldn't go to the milk tea shop to continue working. After all, the milk tea shop was downstairs from Lian's.

He took out the pad from his pocket, and put a wrong number in front of the option on the thirtieth day, and he was only one day away from receiving a month's salary.

Even listening to the language is a bit sad.

It was the end of summer and early autumn, and the weather was no longer hot late at night. Lian Tingyu was only wearing a thin shirt, and couldn't help shivering when the night wind blew.

The light orange protective bells form a transparent invisibility barrier, but this barrier cannot shelter from the wind at all. Lian Tingyu decides to find a hotel to make do for the night, and find a new place tomorrow.

With an ID card, everything is easy to handle, and Lian Tingyu checked into the hotel smoothly.After taking a shower, he carefully examined his ID card.

In fact, there is no difference between a demon's ID card and a human's ID card. On the right is a one-inch photo of Lian Tingyu, and on the left is a brief introduction such as name, gender, and age.

Calculated according to the date of birth on the ID card, Lian Tingyu was just sixteen years old, and would be seventeen in ten days.

In ten days, it will be my seventeenth birthday, and that person's twenty-seventh birthday...

Lian Tingyu drew the curtains, covered the quilt, closed his eyes and forced himself to have a good sleep. He checked the weather forecast this morning, and it will be sunny again tomorrow.

Sure enough, as the weather forecast predicted, the weather on the second day was very clear, and Lianfeng saw Qiao Jinnan who hadn't appeared for several days.

Qiao Jinnan was wearing a turtleneck sweater today. The light blue sweater complemented his fair skin, giving him the feeling of a gentle gentleman like jade.

Lian Feng glanced at him lightly: "I haven't been to the coffee shop for so long, I thought something was wrong with you."

Qiao Jinnan smiled and said, "I'm doing a big thing recently, a very big thing."

He originally wanted to tell his friends what he was doing recently, but his mind suddenly went blank.When he came back to his senses, he had already forgotten what to say.

Since I forgot it, I just stopped talking, Qiao Jinnan looked up at Lian Feng: "You actually took the initiative to tell me such a long sentence today, something is wrong with you."

"I went to a milk tea shop some time ago, and I heard from the people in the milk tea shop that you have lunch with Xiaoyu every day, haven't you only met twice, why are you so familiar?"

Meeting Lian Feng's gloomy gaze, Qiao Jinnan touched his arm: "Okay, then I'll change the subject. Didn't you lose the little black cat you raised before? Have you found it now?"

The more he asked, the more strange he felt. Qiao Jinnan frowned. He didn't seem to care about his college roommate and only good friend recently, and he was in a daze.

Sometimes he even felt that he lost the memory of a certain period of time.

Qiao Jinnan said with a guilty conscience, "Do you want me to find the cat for you? But the kitten has been lost for so long, I'm afraid—"

Lian Feng interrupted him: "No need."

Qiao Jinnan held her chin: "Anyway, next time you have dinner with Xiaoyu, invite me too. I like Xiaoyu very much, and I always feel that he has a feeling of deja vu."

There was no reply, Qiao Jinnan said to herself again: "I really like Xiaoyu's character, if only I can make friends, I don't know where Xiaoyu lives..."

Lian Tingyu is still in the hotel, the hotel has a computer, he is checking various cities across the country online, he doesn't want to stay in Guicheng for the time being.

Unknowingly, an afternoon passed without even Tingyu choosing a suitable place.As night fell, if he didn't leave, he would miss the last train. Lian Tingyu packed his things and went to the front desk to check out the room.

It didn't know when it started to rain outside, the receptionist of the hotel saw that he was not wearing much, and pointed to a row of umbrellas hanging beside the sofa: "If you need, you can take the umbrellas here, and put them away after use."Just go to the Umbrella Center at any station.”

Lian Tingyu shook his head: "Thank you, no need."

Maybe after leaving this time, he will never return to Guicheng again, and he can't pay back the umbrella he borrowed, so it's unnecessary.

Lian Tingyu put away the Qiankun bag and braved the strong wind to rush into the rain.Tonight's rain was really heavy, even Tingyu couldn't open his eyes at all, and felt in a daze that he had bumped into someone.

He raised his sleeve to wipe the rain off his face, but someone grabbed his wrist tightly.Even the hairs on Tingyu's body stood up, he struggled desperately to touch the protective bell in his pocket——

"do not move."

Qingyue's slightly cold voice rang in his ears, and after a moment of silence, he began to struggle again.However, his struggle was completely suppressed, and the man picked him up forcefully, stuffed him into the car, and locked the door.

There was a sound when something fell to the ground, Lian Tingyu pricked up his ears, and the next second, a soft cloth stuck to the corner of his eyes.

The man was wiping the rain with his sleeve.

He could easily restrain all his actions with one hand, even listening to the words, he simply stopped struggling, closed his eyes and let the man move.

The warm air in the car engulfed all the cold air on his body, Lian Tingyu opened his eyes and said expressionlessly, "I want to get out of the car."

Lian Feng smiled softly, his eyes were darker than the night: "Be good, I'll find you easily."

The light cedar aroma mixed with the moist moisture forms a very cold taste.Lian Tingyu said calmly: "Is there any need for me to stay here?"

Lian Feng didn't speak, just took out the peach blossom jade pendant from his pocket, and hung it around his neck again.

Lian Tingyu raised his hand to untie the jade pendant, and put the jade pendant with its back side up in his palm, only then did he see that the word "Yu" was re-engraved on the jade pendant, which he recognized as a man's handwriting.

With the light in the car, Lian Tingyu saw the small wound on the man's hand.He suddenly felt a little wronged: "Anyway, you hate me."

The silhouette of the man was hidden in the night, Lian Tingyu heard him say: "I don't hate you."

Lian Tingyu didn't want to keep dragging on like this, if he wanted to break up completely, he had to talk about it first.He pursed his lips, suppressing the astringency in his eyes:

"Yes, I am indeed Lian Tingyu, from ten years ago. But now I am dressed as a black cat, and I will live as a black cat. You don't owe me anything."

"I have a magic weapon to protect myself, and I can practice myself. Now that I have an ID card, I can live a good life by myself. You don't have to hold back your disgust and take care of me."

"I saw your seventeen-year-old interview. You said that you changed your name to Lianfeng, which meant to seal the past."

Lian Tingyu bit her lip hard: "You know my character, I am not angry, everything I just said is very sensible. If you hate this past, then it is the best choice for me to leave."

After talking for a long time in one breath, Lian Tingyu took a breath, and the air in the car became quiet again.After a long time, he heard the man sigh softly.

"Hating the past doesn't conflict with being nice to you."

His voice was very soft, and the strength that fell on his cheek was also very light.

"I can't help but take care of you," he said.

Lian Tingyu ignored the warm touch of fingers rubbing against his cheeks, and rationally analyzed the truth and falsehood of the man's words.This kind of thing is difficult to analyze and calculate with equations, so Lian Tingyu substituted himself into it.

He would use his own blood to search for Lian Feng when he disappeared, bandage his wound when Lian Feng was injured, and would go to Lian's staff cafeteria to have lunch with him every day because Lian Feng didn't want to eat.

He will also hide from Lianfeng and guard against Lianfeng.

But because he is another self in the world, the dream, fantasy and delusion of his own childhood.

so.

Lian Tingyu nodded expressionlessly: "Although you may lie to me, I believe your words."

Lian Feng raised his hand and pinched the poor kitten. The kitten's face was still wet, and Lian Feng couldn't help but smile.

The condensed air in the car completely melted, and Ting Yu couldn't hold back the expression on his face, so he had to turn his head: "Why do you always treat me like a child?"

Lian Feng got out of the car and picked up the umbrella on the ground: "Aren't you a child?"

...

Lian Tingyu pursed his lips aggrievedly, although he will be seventeen in ten days, there is no difference between seventeen and sixteen, both are children in the eyes of adults.

In fact, there are differences.

Lian Tingyu let the man put him in the passenger seat and help him fasten his seat belt.

At least for his seventeenth birthday, he didn't spend it alone.

Lian Tingyu tugged on his seat belt nonchalantly: "I'll be seventeen in ten days."

"Why, are you worried that I won't accompany you on your birthday?"

Lian Tingyu: ...

When he was very young, he wished there was another himself in the world.The other self can help him with his homework and play with him, the other self fully understands his hunger, pain, embarrassment, and miss, and the other self completely empathizes with him.

But sometimes, it's not a good thing that another self knows too much about yourself, such as now.

Lian Tingyu shut his mouth and didn't speak, anyway, all the temptations were invisible in front of the man, there was no need for temptation at all.

The bluffing little milk cat suddenly wilted, started the car repeatedly, and took the hungry little milk cat home for dinner.

The heating in the car made people drowsy, and Lian Tingyu quickly fell asleep leaning against the back of the chair, his head tilted to the side, exposing his snow-white neck.

Lian Feng parked the car on the side of the road and stared at him for a long time.

Lian Tingyu fell into a deep sleep, and when he woke up again, he was lying on the sofa, and the smell of food came from the kitchen.

Lian Tingyu got up in a trance, dazed for a long time.

Lian Feng came over and looked at him condescendingly: "You want me to carry you there?"

Lian Tingyu woke up suddenly.

He was obviously sitting in the car, why did he come to the living room when he woke up?

Lian Feng laughed: "Don't doubt it, I brought a certain little pig in."

Lian Tingyu blushed, and retorted: "I am a cat, not a pig, these are two different species."

He followed the man into the restaurant, and saw the mobile phone on the table at a glance. Lian Tingyu took the mobile phone and put it in his pocket calmly, pretending that nothing happened.

However, the man saw his intentions and was not going to let him go:

"I am willing to use Master's money to stay in a hotel, but I don't want the mobile phone my brother gave me."

Lian Tingyu lowered his eyes: "It's not brother."

"Don't change the subject."

Lian Tingyu argued: "We are two people in different time and space. If calculated from my time and space, I will be twenty-six years later, and I am the same age as you."

"It's not brother anyway."

Lian Feng said with a half smile but not a smile: "It's not brother, what is that?"

Lian Tingyu was stumped by this question, and he lowered his head and began to eat dinner.Even Feng was not obsessed with the previous question, and the two finished their meal quietly.

Lian Tingyu texted Tiancai, saying that he would go to work tomorrow, and Tiancai readily agreed.He put away his mobile phone and prepared to go upstairs to sleep. He would go to the store early tomorrow to make up all the work that had been left behind.

Lian Feng grabbed him: "Aren't you going to run away today?"

Lian Tingyu said expressionlessly: "I am a free person, I can go wherever I want."

Lian Feng pulled hard, and Lian Tingyu rushed over under the influence of inertia, and threw herself into the man's arms, brushing his cheek against the man's hair.He was a little embarrassed, and stood up straight with Lianfeng's chest propped up.

Lian Feng lazily pulled the clothes that were crumpled by the teenager: "Need me to install a surveillance camera in your room?"

Even Ting Yu's face was hot, and he ran upstairs without looking back.

There was a heavy rain last night, and the plants and trees were soaked in the rain all night. The next day, the air exuded the slightly bitter smell of plants.

Lian Tingyu caught a cold yesterday and had a low fever in the middle of the night. He missed all the alarm clocks this morning, so he had to go to work together in Lian Tingyu's car.The milk tea shop opened at eight o'clock, and Lian Tingyu rushed into the shop at the last minute.

He put down the breakfast in his hand and fastened his apron, only to find that everyone in the store looked at him with strange eyes.

The brown-haired boy leaned over: "Xiaoyu, did you come to work in Zong Lian's car today?"

Lian Tingyu took a step back unobtrusively: "Yes."

The boy who delivered milk tea with him said: "You haven't returned to the dormitory for the past two days, I thought something happened to you."

Lian Tingyu shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Tiancai held her chin in a concave posture, and her long skirt hung down on the chair: "It's really double standards. You have a lot of conversations with a certain person, but you just deal with us with one or two words."

Lian Tingyu:.

Tiancai looked over at him: "You haven't been back to the dormitory for the past two days, so you're staying at Mr. Lian's house?"

Lian Tingyu pursed her lips: "It's also my home."

"What!" Tiancai slapped the table and stood up, "Is your development speed a little too fast? Is this 8 times faster? How come Mr. Lian's home is your home?"

Although Tiancai's appearance was exaggerated, she was actually a little worried.The young boy in front of him is Jian Yun's apprentice after all, she should take care of him a little bit.

Lian Tingyu was silent for a while, and explained: "Lian Feng is my brother."

Tiancai asked the bottom line: "What kind of brother?"

She set up a sound-proof barrier, and said quietly: "Could you have told him your identity?"

"No."

Tiancai felt relieved, removed the sound-proof barrier, and continued to ask, "Why is Mr. Lian your brother?"

Lian Tingyu took out his ID card and gave Tiancai a look.

Tiancai understood: "So you took the surname Lian Zong, then your master might cry under the quilt, but the name Lian Tingyu is quite nice."

Lian Tingyu put away his ID card: "Manager, you can just call me Xiaoyu as before."

At noon, Lian Feng came to the store to find Lian Tingyu for lunch.Tiancai shouted to the back: "Xiaoyu, your brother is here!"

He even froze when he heard the words.

He put down the milk tea and came out, only to see the man sitting on the chair, looking at him playfully.
