Survival Paradox [Infinite]

Wei Chi and Zhou Yingchun looked at each other for a while, Zhou Yingchun turned around and left the window.

"Brother..." Wei Yuan felt a little scared, looked at Wei Chi helplessly, wanted to ask what to do now, but wanted to run away.

Wei Chi stood there without moving.

One or two minutes later, Zhou Yingchun appeared at the door of McDonald's, stood still and looked at them through the glass door for a while, pushed the door and walked towards them.

When Zhou Yingchun walked in front of them, Wei Chi called out: "Mom."

"Yeah." Zhou Yingchun pursed her lips, didn't look into his eyes, but glanced at Wei Yuan, raised a smile, and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Wei Yuan's stomach groaned, he patted his head with an awkward smile: "A little bit."

Zhou Yingchun said: "Let's go then, I'll take you to eat." She glanced at the time, then at the sky, and said, "I'll take you to eat some delicious steamed stuffed buns, there used to be queues, but now Go and wait for his house to open."

"Then..." Wei Yuan was really hungry, but he didn't dare to finish, and looked at Wei Chi again.

Wei Chi said: "Then let's go."

The three of them walked for more than ten minutes, and arrived at the Baozi shop. There was no talking all the way, and the sky was already bright and white.

The bun shop has just opened, and the boss has just brought out a few small wooden tables.

Zhou Yingchun greeted the boss familiarly, sat down at the table in the corner, and called Wei Chi and Wei Yuan over: "Order yourself, I'll treat you."

After ordering, the three finally sat face to face on a small table less than one meter square.

Finally, there was no way to continue to stay silent.

Zhou Yingchun pretended to be very calm and asked Wei Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, how is everything at home recently? Are grandparents okay?"

Wei Yuan: "Alright."

Zhou Yingchun: "Are your parents all right?"

Wei Yuan: "Everything is fine."

Zhou Yingchun: "Where's the wife and children?"

"..." Wei Yuan froze, with an indescribable expression, and turned to look at Wei Chi.

Zhou Yingchun's face changed, and he asked again: "What's wrong? Is... what happened?"

"That..." Wei Yuan thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "Auntie...you think that I have a wife and children...it's all right?"

Zhou Yingchun frowned, looked at Wei Yuan, and after a while, her eyes lit up slightly.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"Just, that's..." Wei Yuan pulled his hair and thought for a while, feeling unclear, then turned to Wei Chi, "Brother..."

Wei Chi said: "Before yesterday, he didn't remember that he had a wife and children, they seemed to have suddenly appeared in his life."

Zhou Yingchun opened his mouth a little bit, looking a little surprised, but it was different from Weiyuan's imagined surprise of "I think this person is crazy", on the contrary, it seemed to be a little surprised.

She asked Wei Chi: "What about you?"

Wei Chi also looked at her, and said slowly, "I'm just like him."

Wei Yuan asked: "Auntie, do you recognize my wife?"

Zhou Yingchun nodded.

Wei Yuan asked again: "How do we know each other, do you know?"

Zhou Yingchun: "I don't know about this... I remember... I heard that you were in a relationship this summer. In August, you took your girlfriend back to meet the parents, and you also came to our house for a meal. In October I heard that you have obtained the certificate... It seems that your wife felt that she was married twice and brought a child, so she didn't want to hold a wedding banquet, so she didn't do it."

"Oh..." Wei Yuan's face was a little stiff, he didn't know what expression to make or what to say.

Zhou Yingchun's pupils moved, as if he was about to say something more, at this moment, the boss came over with an iron tray, on which were two bowls of wontons, a bowl of millet porridge, and two baskets of steamed buns, "Serve—"

Zhou Yingchun exchanged a few words with the boss, but the feeling of confiding just now was suddenly interrupted.

She handed the chopsticks in the bamboo tube to the two of them and smiled, but the smile seemed not as stiff as before.

"Eat it while it's hot."

Picking up the chopsticks, Wei Yuan saw that Wei Chi started to eat, and he started to eat too. Originally, he was quite hungry after the wind blowing outside all night, but when he ate the wontons, they were warm and delicious. Hulu finished one bowl and asked for another one.

No one spoke until he started eating his second bowl, as if everyone had a lot to say but didn't know where to start.

"Mom." Finally, Wei Chi said, "Why are you afraid of me?"

Zhou Yingchun paused and said, "I didn't..."

Wei Chi was very calm: "You have."

Wei Chi is a very sensible person, and extremely smart, most of the pretense or duplicity are like a piece of paper in front of him, and it depends on whether he lets him go or not.He was too calm and determined, and when he came to a conclusion, he had the momentum of making a final decision.

To insist on talking nonsense with his eyes open under his aura requires quite a strong psychological quality.

Zhou Yingchun put down her chopsticks.

Wei Chi also put down his chopsticks, and Wei Yuan took two more mouthfuls in a dazed way. After realizing that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the dinner table, he also hurriedly stopped, and hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth. Sit up straight.

Zhou Yingchun opened his mouth and closed it again.

Wei Chi asked: "Since when did you start to feel strange?"

"It's from..." Zhou Yingchun's eyes wandered for a while, and finally opened the conversation box, "Probably from... when I saw the peach blossoms this year... You clearly promised that I would accompany me to see the peach blossoms, and I, I also specially I bought a red dress to wear that day... But on the weekend, you said you forgot and didn't go with me."

"Sometimes you are busy with your subjects and you won't be able to accompany me, but you will find a way to make up for me in the future...Although you always have a straight face, mom still knows...you promise me. Do your best, and even if you can't, you won't 'forget'."

"At that time... I was not very happy. After saying a few more words, you became impatient. You, although you are often impatient, but, your eyes are not, not like that."

Wei Yuan answered, "What kind?"

"I, I can't tell..." Zhou Yingchun glanced at Wei Chi, and his whole body tensed up visibly, his shoulders shrank a little, "It's just... very strange, because I have never been in your eyes. The look I've seen in... I don't understand, you still call me 'Mom', you help me with a lot of things, you talk to me, but I just feel... very different, I'm like... Living in a house with a stranger."

"You're really, really... different."

"Mom." Wei Chi gently stroked her shoulder, she looked at him with a little panic and confusion as if she had suddenly woken up from a nightmare.

Wei Chi pushed the steaming hot noodle soup in front of her: "Have some soup."

After Zhou Yingchun drank the soup, her mental state improved, and she continued, "I, I thought it was because you grew up and changed...but, but this transformation process...was too fast." She put down the bowl, "I still I went to ask a lot of colleagues in psychiatry and psychology, and I think there must be something wrong, but my colleagues all said that it should be normal, and joked that my menopause collided with your late adolescence.”

"I also persuaded myself that I was thinking too much, I was getting older, and my mental state was not good... But what really scares me is another thing."

Her face was astonishingly pale, the blood color brought by the bowl of hot soup had slowly faded away, and those eyes, which resembled Wei Chi's, looked dark and deep: "——It's Xiao Ji."

"I don't know... I don't know what's going on... I clearly remember, I clearly remember Xiao Ji, hasn't Xiao Ji come back? It hasn't been long since I came back... You are still angry because of this, but, but Xiao Ji came to beg Me, I want to go to see Peach Blossom together, I promised him... I was worried for a long time, afraid that you would be unhappy... But I am still very happy in my heart, when I bought that red dress, I thought about how to dress you two Hey, the three of us take pictures together—”

"But, but Xiao Ji is gone." Her expression was painful and terrified, as if she was wearing a plaster mask that was about to collapse, "They said, they said that Xiao Ji committed suicide last winter...died in your laboratory inside."

"How is this possible?" She looked at Wei Chi, "How could Xiao Ji commit suicide? Even, even if you took a step back, how could he commit suicide in your laboratory on your birthday?"

Wei Yuan couldn't help but uttered, "Damn it."

Zhou Yingchun trembled, as if she had returned to the fear she had at the time: "I don't believe it—I don't believe it...Xiao Ji is not that kind of person...Nor are you—you are all good boys..."

"Mom, Mom." Wei Chi moved the small bench to her side, took her into his arms, and comforted her, "Mom, don't be afraid, shhh, calm down, don't be afraid."

Zhou Yingchun leaned into his arms and sobbed, "But they all said—"

Wei Chi asked, "What about now?"

Zhou Yingchun calmed down and raised her face to look at him.

Wei Chi continued to ask: "Now...are you still afraid of me?"

Zhou Yingchun looked at him for a while, then slowly raised her hand, wanting to touch his face, but stopped when her hand was close to his face.

"Mom." Wei Chi grabbed her hand, pressed it on his face, and said, "I still don't know what happened, but you trust me."

He looked into her eyes and said, "I won't scare you anymore."

Zhou Yingchun looked at him for a while, and then said: "Okay."

After the meal, Zhou Yingchun settled the bill and straightened his expression. It seemed that there was nothing unusual except his eyes were a little red. He was a mature and reliable Dr. Zhou.

Wei Chi and Wei Yuan sent her back to the hospital, she has to go to work early today.

When she left, she left her notebook to Wei Chi, hoping to help him.

The two hugged at the entrance of the hospital. Zhou Yingchun called his son's baby name in his ear after a long absence, and kissed him lightly.

"If you need your mother, you must tell her."

Wei Chi said: "Okay."

They watched Zhou Yingchun's back disappear into the hospital.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning pierced through the clouds and fell on the small square in front of the Second City Courtyard. The fountain made light water sounds and the birds were singing.

Wei Yuan took a deep breath of the morning air and suddenly felt less fearful.

Wei Chi glanced at him sideways, and said, "You had a great time eating just now."

Wei Yuan's scalp tensed up, and he opened his mouth: "I'm wrong brother..."

"No, it means that you are very relaxed in front of me and my mother." Wei Chi turned and walked towards home, "Do you dare to eat like that in front of your wife and children?"

Wei Yuan imagined it for a while, then swallowed unconsciously: "...don't dare."

"Although you are not smart, your intuition is not bad." Wei Chi commented, "There are always some advantages in life."

Wei Yuan didn't know whether he should cry or laugh for a moment, with a bitter face: "Brother——"

"Don't talk nonsense, go back and catch up on sleep." His brother said ruthlessly, "I still have to see your wife and children this afternoon."

Wei Yuan's face suddenly became more bitter: "Can I see you—"

His brother is gone.
