Piano Song Killing Eve [Short Story]

In Xiaoqing's room, the calendar on the desk shows September 9th, which is July 5th in the lunar calendar.

At 23:00 at night, Xiaoqing was lying in bed unable to fall asleep, so she called her boyfriend Chen Hao.

[Chen Hao]

What's the matter, miss?

[Xiao Qing]

...People miss you.

[Chen Hao]

Please, we didn't meet until noon.

[Xiao Qing]

I... am I bothering you?

[Chen Hao]

……No.

[Xiao Qing]

What are you doing?

[Chen Hao]

Uh... I, I'm...

[Xiao Qing]

Hearing the voice is... driving?

[Chen Hao]

Ok.

[Xiao Qing]

You haven't come home so late?

[Chen Hao]

Ah, ahem, yes, the company has a case, and it is urgent, so I have to work overtime...

[Xiao Qing]

You are always like this, workaholic!Never pay attention to your body!

[Chen Hao]

Ok.

[Xiao Qing]

Your company is the same, it is so late, and you still let your employees work overtime without paying overtime pay!

[Chen Hao]

Ok.

[Xiao Qing]

Are you impatient to listen to me?

[Chen Hao]

No, it's just that I'm driving and I'm a little sleepy and don't want to be distracted.

[Xiao Qing]

Oh... well then, I'll hang up first.

[Chen Hao]

OK, go to bed early.

[Xiao Qing]

OK, good night.

[Chen Hao]

good night.

[Xiao Qing]

Oh wait!

[Chen Hao]

what happened again?

[Xiao Qing]

Are you free tomorrow night, let's...

There was the sound of brakes and impacts on the other end of the phone.

[Xiao Qing]

Hello?Chen Hao, what's wrong with you?What happened?Chen Hao, don't scare me!

In Xiaoqing's room, there is a portrait of Chen Hao on the bedside table. The calendar shows that September 9th, that is, that night is Chen Hao's first seven days.

Xiaoqing lay on the bed and picked up Chen Hao's portrait.

[Xiao Qing]

Chen Hao, I'm sorry for you!I shouldn't, shouldn't have called you while you were driving.

Xiaoqing put down the portrait and picked up the phone. Inspired by her longing, she called up the call log to Chen Hao on the night of the accident, and the screen showed that the call lasted a full minute.

[Xiao Qing]

Chen Hao, I miss you so much.

Xiaoqing made a mistake and pressed the dial button.

[Chen Hao]

What's the matter, miss?

[Xiao Qing]

what--

[Chen Hao]

Hey, what motivates you?Your ears are almost deafened by you!

Xiaoqing threw away the phone, and when she heard the other party was still talking, she picked it up again.

[Xiao Qing]

You, who are you?

[Chen Hao]

Miss, what tricks are you doing?You don't know who to call?

[Xiao Qing]

You, are you Chen Hao?

[Chen Hao]

Who do you think?

[Xiao Qing]

You, aren't you dead?

[Chen Hao]

Bah, bah, who the hell cursed his boyfriend to death?

[Xiao Qing]

No, you died in a car accident seven days ago!

[Chen Hao]

Xiaoqing, if you do this again, I will be angry!

[Xiao Qing]

Don't, don't be angry, Chen Hao, you, you don't want me, right?

[Chen Hao]

What did you say?How do you feel... weird...

[Xiao Qing]

Chen Hao, I miss you so much...

[Chen Hao]

Please, we didn't meet until noon.

[Xiao Qing]

Chen Hao, are you driving?

[Chen Hao]

Yeah, how do you know?

[Xiao Qing]

You are always like this, you forget everything when you work...

[Chen Hao]

Um?Work?

[Xiao Qing]

Chen Hao, if you didn't work overtime, you wouldn't be driving so late, right?

[Chen Hao]

Xiaoqing, what are you talking about?i can't hear at all...

The sound of braking and impact came from the other end of the phone.

[Xiao Qing]

Chen Hao!You, what's wrong with you?are you……

Xiaoqing glanced at the call record just now, it lasted for 1 minute.

[Xiao Qing]

1 minute?It seems... that night seven days ago was also...

Xiaoqing recalled the call from seven days ago, only to find that the call was also for one minute.

[Xiao Qing]

Could it be... as long as I call Chen Hao, can I go back to the call seven days ago?

[Xiao Qing]

But why did this happen?

She stared at the calendar for a while, then suddenly remembered something, and called Chen Hao again.

[Chen Hao]

What's the matter, miss?

[Xiao Qing]

Chen Hao, tell me quickly, are you driving now?

[Chen Hao]

Oh, yes.

[Xiao Qing]

Let me ask you, what date is it now?

[Chen Hao]

September [-]th!What anniversary did I forget?

[Xiao Qing]

What about the lunar calendar?What is the lunar calendar?

[Chen Hao]

lunar calendar?Xiaoqing, did you travel from ancient times?Who still pays attention to the lunar calendar among young people nowadays?

Xiaoqing looked through the calendar in a panic, and saw that on September [-]th, the lunar calendar was July [-]th.

[Xiao Qing]

The fifteenth night of July...tonight...the first seven...how, how is it possible...

[Chen Hao]

Hello?Xiaoqing, what the hell are you doing?

Xiaoqing stared at the phone, falling into fear.

[Chen Hao]

Xiaoqing, you, what happened to you?Are you mad at me for being outside so late?

[Chen Hao]

Don't think about it, I'm driving, I'll explain to you when I get home, I love you, let me first...

Familiar braking and crashing sounds appeared on the other end of the phone. Xiao Qing came back to her senses and glanced at the call record for 1 minute.

[Xiao Qing]

Today is Chen Hao's first seven, and his soul is still in the world.

[Xiao Qing]

As long as I call him before today, I can go back to eleven o'clock that night seven days ago...

She suddenly looked up at the wall clock on the wall, which showed that the time was 23:15.

[Xiao Qing]

ah!45 minutes left!

She called Chen Hao again.

[Chen Hao]

What's the matter, miss?

[Xiao Qing]

Chen Hao, listen carefully, we don't have much time!

[Chen Hao]

Why is there not much time?

[Xiao Qing]

Don't ask any more, you have to do as I tell you!

[Chen Hao]

You, what's wrong with you?I'm driving!

[Xiao Qing]

I know you are driving, your company has a case, you have to work overtime, right?

[Chen Hao]

Ah... no, no... oh right, right, it's just...

[Xiao Qing]

Now you have to turn the steering wheel to the left!

[Chen Hao]

Xiaoqing, you don't seem to know how to drive, do you know how I am driving now?Blind command?

[Xiao Qing]

I know!There's going to be a truck coming from the right right behind!

[Chen Hao]

You, what are you playing?

[Xiao Qing]

Hurry up!It's almost time!

The familiar sound of brakes and crashes came from the other end of the phone again. Xiaoqing looked at the call record for 1 minute.She was a little annoyed, but she also strengthened her confidence. After a while, she made another call.

[Chen Hao]

What's the matter, miss?

[Xiao Qing]

Do not talk nonsense!We only have 1 minute!

[Chen Hao]

You, why are you so fierce?

[Xiao Qing]

Listen, stop now for me!

[Chen Hao]

[Xiao Qing]

[Chen Hao]

You, you made me dumbfounded.

[Xiao Qing]

[Chen Hao]

OK, stop, then what?

[Xiao Qing]

[Chen Hao]

Xiaoqing, you... are you... I...

[Xiao Qing]

[Chen Hao]

[Xiao Qing]

Xiaoqing counted the seconds nervously.

[Chen Hao]

Xiaoqing, don't be like this, I love you!

[Xiao Qing]

I love you too, don't talk!

[Chen Hao]

Xiaoqing, what happened to you?let's talk...

Ten seconds later, there was another sound of braking and crashing on the other end of the phone. Xiaoqing threw the phone on the bed and cried loudly.
