After my soul traveled through time and space, I became the male protagonist Bai Yueguang
Chapter 49 I am her, but I am not her anymore
After Xiao Yi and Dai Weiwei left, Shen Zhao withdrew his gaze, stopped a taxi on the side of the road, and reported the address.
The master turned his head and glanced at Shen Zhao, "Little girl, are you sure you want to go to this place? It's a bit far."
Shen Zhao nodded, "Sure, can you hurry up? I'm short on time."
The taxi started, and the scenery outside the window quickly passed by, from the city's tall buildings to the ten thousand mu of fruit forests to the hilly mountains. The car stopped casually on the side of the road. The driver watched Shen Zhao get out of the car and stick his head out of the window, looking a little worried, "Little girl, when are you going back? I'll take you. This place is very desolate, I'm afraid it's hard to get a taxi."
Shen Zhao smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I still need to stay here for a few hours. I'm afraid it will delay your work."
"But it's not safe for a little girl like you to be alone, right?" The master still didn't give up.
"It's okay, I came here to meet an acquaintance, don't worry." Shen Zhao waved her hand. She did come here to meet an acquaintance, but as for whether that acquaintance would take her back to the city, it was hard to say. For a moment, she felt that she was impulsive in rejecting her master. What if that person ignored her, would she have to call Mu Yanchen to solve the problem?
Thinking of this solution, Shen Zhao still rejected his master.
The master rolled down the car window, took out a pen from the small partition, quickly wrote down a phone number, reached out from the window, and threw the note to Shen Zhao.
Shen Zhao finally caught it and looked at him in confusion.
"You are such a stubborn girl. This is my cell phone number. If you can't get a taxi when you go back, remember to call me and I'll pick you up."
Shen Zhao held the note, and several creases quickly appeared on it. He was moved, "Thank you then."
The driver didn't say anything else. He rolled up the window, started the car, and drove away, heading back to the city.
Shen Zhao stood there and looked for a while, then turned and walked into the mountains.
The mountain road is on the side of the road. Because no one has walked on it for many years, the traces of the road are not very obvious. Only the broken branches on the ground show that someone has passed by here. Shen Zhao is not afraid of walking on the mountain road. In fact, she used to come to this place often. Before the conflict with Guan Qi, this place was considered a secret base for the two.
Shen Zhao was walking on the mountain road. The winter wind was cold, especially in the mountains. The only difference was that it was mixed with the faint scent of grass. Although cold, it was also gentle. She walked forward step by step, and the branches made crackling sounds when she stepped on them.
The things in front of him were both familiar and unfamiliar. Shen Zhao blinked and in a trance, he seemed to see two children running through the mountains.
A bald little boy was running in front, followed by a girl with a bun. The girl was taller than the boy and was holding a golden beetle in her hand. She chased the boy all the way until the boy was tripped by a stone and fell to the ground. His knee hit the ground and made a small hole. The boy cried loudly, but the girl still put the golden beetle on the boy's bald head. The boy cried even louder. The girl still had a smile on her face. Then she squatted in front of the boy and carried the not very brave boy on her back.
He staggered up the mountain step by step.
Shen Zhao blinked again, and everything was like a passing cloud, and the past was gone with the wind.
Shen Zhao remembered that it was the childhood of Sheng Baiyi and Guan Qi, they were carefree and innocent. This was their small base. Later they left the welfare home, and the two of them rose and fell in society. They made some money at a young age, and Guan Qi bought this place. Because it was an undeveloped area in the early days, the land price here was very cheap. Then Guan Qi built his own house here. There was a room in it that was always empty. Sheng Baiyi once asked who it was for, and Guan Qi replied that the room was always prepared for her.
Coming here again at this moment, Shen Zhao felt as if he was in another world.
Passing this messy mountain road, what comes into view is a house covered with weeds. The weeds on the ground are half a meter high. It can be imagined that the owner here does not come here often. The house has modern features and there are surveillance cameras on the walls. Although it is abandoned, it does not allow others to act recklessly.
Shen Zhao ignored the security system that had already sounded and walked straight into the house. She walked along the stone-paved path and came to the front door of the house. Made of black metal and with a rather cold style, it did not match Guan Qi's temperament at all. She pressed the combination lock on the door with ease, as if she had been trained many times. The door opened naturally with a creaking sound, as if an old antique was being put into use again.
During the day, the house was pitch black. The light coming through the crack in the door allowed Shen Zhao to vaguely see the tightly closed curtains, which covered the room tightly. She walked over, opened the curtains, and then closed the door.
The moment the room lit up, Shen Zhao was surprised to find Guan Qi lying next to a freezer not far away, with empty wine bottles scattered around his body, and one in his hand. His hair was loose, covering his face, with clumps of hair sticking to his face. His usually well-groomed lamb beard had spread out, lying crookedly on his chin. He was still wearing the vest that Shen Zhao was familiar with. When he got closer, he could smell the sour smell of overnight on his body. It seemed unknown how long it had been since he had taken a shower.
Without time to feel disgusted, Shen Zhao dragged Guan Qi up from the ground and put him on the sofa. Looking at his current state, she would be lying if she said she didn't feel sad.
She lowered her eyes and gazed at the man who grew up with her. She knew every stage of his life from childhood to adulthood, but she hesitated before telling him the truth. That was because she was timid and afraid of being betrayed again, so she chose to hide it. But he became like this because of her, so she began to reflect on herself. It seemed that all her previous decisions were wrong, and she should have trusted him more.
She can't be afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake once.
Every breath Guan Qi exhaled was burning hot. She knew something was wrong at the first sight. She reached out and touched his face. The temperature was incredibly high. She frowned and looked at him, then turned and went upstairs, taking a blanket from upstairs and covering him with it.
Because it was a modern-style building, Guan Qi liked large and spacious spaces, so the living room and kitchen were connected. Shen Zhao fetched a basin of water from the kitchen and slowly returned to Guan Qi. He wrung out the towel and slowly wiped his face with stubble all over his chin, then combed his hair back to reveal a complete face.
The little bald head in childhood has gradually grown into a man. His face is not that of a typical handsome guy, but he is very charming, unruly, and sloppy. His clothes are still the same as when he was a child. He likes to wear a vest.
She only had a needle on her and no medicine at hand, so she could only help Guan Qi cool down physically. Fortunately, he was in good physical condition, and after more than an hour of effort, his temperature was successfully lowered.
Shen Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. When she wanted to get up, her legs and feet went numb. It seemed that she had been kneeling in front of the sofa for too long. She fell straight towards the direction where Guan Qi was sleeping. She reacted quickly and supported her hands on both sides of his head to avoid hitting his face.
At the same time, their eyes met, and Shen Zhao bumped into those dark eyes without any cover. Her breathing stagnated, and she didn't know when he woke up.
Guan Qi didn't know where he got the strength from, but he pushed Shen Zhao away in an instant. Without any warning, Shen Zhao fell backwards to the other end of the sofa. She was dizzy and dazed, but she suddenly felt hot. Guan Qi pressed her hands to the top of her head and pressed his calves on her knee joints, making her unable to move.
He stared at her warily, with a cruelty in his eyes that Shen Zhao had never seen before. "How did you get in? Don't say that Sheng Baiyi told you. She doesn't have such a loudspeaker to spread the news everywhere. Tell me, who are you?"
Shen Zhao suddenly felt that it was inappropriate for her to come here rashly. Guan Qi's condition was obviously not right. It seemed that his consciousness was a little confused due to days of alcoholism and insomnia. She had a feeling that Guan Qi seemed to regard her as the murderer of Sheng Baiyi.
This was not difficult to guess. After all, she was not Sheng Baiyi, but she had always seemed to be approaching him under the name of Sheng Baiyi. If she knew his workplace at the beginning, it would be normal. But now she also knew the location of this place and the password of the house. It would be hard not to arouse suspicion...
After all, only he and Sheng Baiyi knew the password to this place and the house. Sheng Baiyi would not be so stupid as to reveal it to someone she just met. She didn't even tell Xiao Yi, so it was normal for Guan Qi to have such thoughts.
But Shen Zhao just felt inexplicably wronged. She let Guan Qi suppress her and was too lazy to even resist.
Guan Qi lowered his eyes and looked at the familiar pair of deer eyes that were filled with both grievance and a layer of mist, and couldn't help being stunned. That was the look that only Sheng Baiyi could have. He had been looked at like this by her countless times, and every time he was the first to compromise. This time was no exception. He gradually loosened the strength on his hands, and then pulled Shen Zhao up from the sofa.
He sat next to me, covering his forehead with his hands, muttering, "Sorry, I didn't mean to do that. Can you tell me how you got in?"
Although he said this, his eyes never relaxed when looking at her for a moment.
He actually didn't trust her.
Shen Zhao glanced at him, her eyes clear as if she would never lie. She spoke but did not answer his question, "How about I tell you a story? Would you like to listen?"
"You go ahead and tell me."
Once upon a time, there was a baby who was left at the door of an orphanage. It was freezing cold and the baby only had swaddling clothes. Fortunately, a teacher happened to find the baby when she walked out of the door, otherwise the baby might have died on that winter night. The director was a good person, and she decided to take in this baby of unknown origin.
The baby grew up day by day and became a pretty girl. The girl was very popular in the welfare home and showed amazing talent. The director decided to give the girl enlightenment early.
One day, an adult and a child came to the door of the welfare home. The adult was a policeman. He brought an orphan to the director. The orphan was about the same age as the girl, but there was no light in his eyes and he didn't like to talk. The director suspected that he had autism. He was a child who should have received more attention, but because of his bad personality, he was isolated by other children. Later, even the teachers at the welfare home were too lazy to take care of him.
But the girl was different. She might really be like an angel. Despite being treated badly, she would still appear in front of the boy, tell him interesting stories, and bring him food, until one day the boy called out for the first time, "Yiyi."
After that, all matters concerning the boy were handed over to the girl. Everyone in the welfare home was relieved and the girl was happy to do this job.
The two gradually became familiar with each other. When they were in elementary school, they discovered this mountain. After walking through the mountain path, they found the abandoned hut on the back mountain. Since then, this place has become their secret base. They have only had each other since childhood.
The two were separated for a while in high school because they were in boarding school. They met again in college. The boy was a genius and had made great achievements in IT. He soon bought the secret base, and only the girl knew about it. But then the boy found out that there was someone else around the girl. The boy had a fierce argument with her and swore that if the girl didn't bow to him, he would never pay attention to her. This separation lasted for several years.
When Shen Zhao said this, she tilted her head to look at him.
Guan Qi looked at her with a look of shock and disbelief. His eyes gradually turned red. He choked and asked, "Go on, what happened next? What happened next?"
Shen Zhao glanced away indifferently, no longer looking at him, and continued speaking.
The girl didn’t have time to apologize to the boy. One day, she was driving home from work, but when she woke up, she found herself locked in the car. There was water all over the car, and no one came to save her. She was sunk into an unknown body of water, waiting there, waiting to be found one day. Fortunately, a free diving enthusiast found her and had her fished out, but she might have been completely unrecognizable…
At this point, Shen Zhao looked at Guan Qi again, "Who do you think the story I'm telling is about?"
Guan Qi's eyes were filled with tears. He grasped Shen Zhao's shoulders tightly with both hands. The force was so strong that it hurt her, but Shen Zhao still said nothing. "Who are you? Tell me!"
Shen Zhao smiled bitterly, "You can guess who I am, right? Do you believe it? I am her, but I am not her anymore, because she is dead."
Guan Qi held Shen Zhao in his arms. The man in his twenties cried bitterly while holding her. The feeling of lost and regained was surging violently in his chest. "How could you! How could you abandon me so easily? You should have come to me earlier. Even if others don't believe me, I won't!"
Shen Zhao's eyes were also filled with tears. She stroked his back with trembling hands, "I'm so sorry that I didn't recognize you at first. I was so scared. I was so scared that you wouldn't believe me..."
Guan Qi pushed her away and glared at her seriously, "Even if other people don't believe it, who am I? It's impossible not to believe it, but this is indeed miraculous."
