"Sir, please fasten your belt first! Please sit down." The flight attendant said to Jiang Xingyu.

"Where's the person next to me? Where's my friend sitting here? I'm looking for him." Jiang Xingyu was a little anxious.

"I'm sorry, sir. Please sit down first and cooperate with our work. Where is your friend sitting, I can convey the news for you."

"He, he has been sitting in this position."

"I think you may have misremembered his seat number. The seat next to you has never been occupied." The flight attendant replied.

"what?!"

Jiang Xingyu was so shocked that he doubted his life!

"How is this possible? We boarded the plane together and went through the formalities together!"

There must be a mistake somewhere, it must be!He wrote Zhou Xing's name and passport number to the flight attendant and asked her to make inquiries on his behalf, but the answer he got was still that there was no boarding record of this person, not even a reservation record.

His head buzzed and he became dizzy for a while. Jiang Xingyu's legs softened and he fell back to his seat.

With trembling hands, he opened his card case and looked at the photos inside.

In the photo, he is wearing a bachelor's uniform and smiling brightly.

But only him.Zhou Xing disappeared.

He opened the phone photo album, flipping through their daily routines one by one.The rooftop where they saw the stars together, the study where he assembled the model, the sofa bedroom where they were intimate together...all of them are there.Only Zhou Xing was gone.

All the single photos of Zhou Xing in that house became empty shots.

Apart from the solo shot of himself, there are only empty shots.

Zhou Xing was not in his mailing list.

It's not in his chat history either.

Even his screen saver and profile picture, Zhou Xing was gone.

He couldn't remember how he got off the plane and how he got his luggage back.

He only remembered that when he got the luggage, he turned out all the things related to Zhou Xing.His developed paper photos, his DSLR and backed up their photos in the storage card... everything, everything about Zhou Xing, was wiped clean.

While rummaging through the luggage, he called Jessica and Catherine and asked if they had any news about Zhou Xing, and the answers he got were surprisingly consistent: Who is Zhou Xing?

Who is Zhou Xing?

Tears flowed down his cheeks uncontrollably and fell on his trembling hands.

His heart hurts badly, and when he inhales, he convulses, as if a knife has been stabbed in it.

"weekly......"

He squatted on the ground and cried while packing the scattered things into the suitcase.

Zhou Xing disappeared.

From his life, from his records, from his relationships, completely gone.

That's what the so-called evaporation from the world is about.

Except for his own memory, there are no traces, not even a single thought.

He went through the immigration formalities in a daze, and left the arrival hall in a daze.

It seems that there is pain somewhere, but I can't tell where it hurts.

He heard his mobile phone ringing, but his body seemed out of control. He didn't want to answer the phone or look at anyone, and just walked away on his own.

"Ah Xing! Jiang Xingyu!!" Lu Jiaming shouted while rushing up from the crowd to hug him. "What's wrong with you?! I've been calling you for a long time, but there is no response at all."

Jiang Xingyu stared blankly at Lu Jiaming, his pale face and bloodshot eyes made Lu Jiaming's heart twitch.

"Ah Xing! Ah Xing, are you okay? You look so weak. Wait, are you crying? What the hell happened? Didn't your graduation go well?" Lu Jiaming wondered asked. "Is there something wrong with your body?"

"A Ming..." Jiang Xingyu's voice sounded exhausted. "He is gone."

"Who?" Lu Jiaming's expression was completely bewildered.

"My boyfriend. Zhou Xing. Do you remember?"

"Fuck! When did you have a boyfriend?! When did it happen?!" Lu Jiaming's face was struck by lightning, and both eyes almost fell to the ground.

"...Didn't I tell you when I came back last time? You bought those two couple outfits with me."

"Eh? Isn't it because of the [-]% discount for two sets? I thought you bought two sets for me, but..."

It seems that Lu Jiaming didn't remember either, and he also forgot about Zhou Xing alone.Jiang Xingyu was extremely exhausted and didn't want to explain any more, so he said lazily, "Forget it. Let's go back first, and I'll tell you when we get back."

He followed Lu Jiaming to the parking lot, and his steps were a little shallow.

Lu Jiaming took his luggage, put it in the trunk, looked at Jiang Xingyu with a complicated expression, and after struggling for a while, he tentatively said, "Ah Xing, what you said just now, that man...he... ...Leave you alone and leave? This kind of scumbag, don't mind. Let's change it!"

"Oh. It's not what you think." Jiang Xingyu sat in the co-pilot and buckled up his seat belt, leaned back in the seat, and folded his arms on his chest and abdomen. "It's hard to say...I'll tell you in detail later."

Compared with the last time I saw him, he looked much haggard.At this time, he closed his eyes and leaned on the seat, his face was pale, and there was still a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.His hair is also a little long, and the hair on the sideburns and sweat stick to his cheeks, making him look weak and pitiful, making people want to protect him.

Lu Jiaming started the car, looked at Jiang Xingyu from the rearview mirror, and asked worriedly: "Ah Xing, you... have a bad complexion. What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Xingyu frowned in pain and struggled to raise his eyelids, his voice sounded weaker and weaker. "A Ming...my stomach hurts."

As soon as the words fell, he tilted his head and passed out.

It really hurts, the kind that hurts until the consciousness is blurred and the whole body is cold, as if moving a finger requires all the strength of the whole body.

"A Xing!! A Xing!!"

Jiang Xingyu heard someone calling him.It seems to be Zhou Xing, and it seems to be Lu Jiaming.

Zhou Zhou... Ah Ming...

He tried to catch them, but they seemed to be separated from him by a mist, or by a mirror, and he couldn't touch them no matter how he grabbed them.

I can't tell if it's a dream or an illusion, I seem to have fallen into a gap in time and space, and I've repeatedly looked back at the happiest time in my life, some of which come from memory, and some are not quite the same as memory, just like watching a movie. It's like a holographic movie, but I really feel those laughter and tears.

But where am I now?Why can't I find the exit?

When Zhou Xing entered the ward, he exchanged a glance with Lu Jiaming: "When did Boss Lu come back?"

Lu Jiaming twitched his lips, as if he had greeted Zhou Xing: "I just arrived. I came straight from the airport."

Both of them have a lot of things to ask and say, but they can't say a word face to face, and they look at each other in silence and feel awkward.

Lu Jiaming originally wanted to ask Zhou Xing what was going on, but saw that his face was haggard, but his expression was very firm. The eyes he looked at Jiang Xingyu were full of love and protection, and he couldn't say accountability.

He held Jiang Xingyu's hand and talked to the nurse for a few words, then carefully checked his condition, took a glass of warm water, moistened a sterile cotton swab and carefully moistened his dry lips.After a while, the nurse came in with a basin of water. Zhou Xing skillfully took the napkin from the shelf, soaked it in the basin, and then wrung it dry. He gently wiped Jiang Xingyu's cheeks and neck... and then slowly Chest and limbs.

"You've been taking care of him?" Lu Jiaming said slowly.

"Yeah. I'm always here except when I have to go out to work." Zhou Xing carefully avoided the indwelling needle on the back of Jiang Xingyu's hand, grabbed his fingers in the palm of his hand, and gently massaged him.

Lu Jiaming sat down on the chair next to Zhou Xing, and said in a deep voice, "Be nice to Ah Xing, Zhou Xing. His behavior reminds me of when I picked him up at the airport when he just came back from graduation. He said in a panic that you Gone, forced to ask me if I still remember you, and then fainted with a pale face. I sent him to the hospital and waited for him outside the operating room, and the whole person was terrified. For a while, I felt bad for him It’s worth it, and I hate you a little. Especially this time, knowing that something happened to him again, or because of you, I have the heart to kill you..."

Zhou Xing's eyes were moist.

It was not easy for him to calm down from the shock of time and space dislocation.

That day he leaned on Jiang Xingyu's shoulder, saying he was sleepy but he never dared to close his eyes.The announcement broadcast before the plane landed, he said a word to Jiang Xingyu with the last of his strength, and lost consciousness as if he was trapped in a vortex.When he woke up again, he was in the hospital ward with a hanging needle in his hand. He struggled to pull out the hanging needle and got out of bed to look for Jiang Xingyu, but was stopped by the doctor.

"He is in the ICU, and he is not completely out of danger. After 24 hours, if the situation is stable, he can be transferred to the general intensive care unit. Let's go see it then."

"Then how is his condition now? Will his body..." Zhou Xing anxiously grasped the doctor's arm, like holding a life-saving straw.

"The external injuries are okay, they are all bruises, but the internal bleeding is a bit serious, especially in the brain. He is still in a coma. However, the operation was successful. Whether he can turn the crisis to safety depends on whether he can survive it."

He survived the burning anxiety of waiting, the shock of being told that Jiang Xingyu's awakening time is unknown and that he may be in a vegetative state in the future, he has survived the pain of remorse and self-blame, and he is firmly determined to stay by Jiang Xingyu's side, no matter whether he is asleep or awake. with.

Every day, every day, he went to the hospital to help Jiang Xingyu massage his body, feed him liquid food, and talk to him to relieve boredom.Sometimes it's about talking about Hengyue's new business, and sometimes it's about his experiences with Jiang Xingyu in the reincarnation of three lives.

At this time, when he heard Lu Jiaming talk about Jiang Xingyu's appearance after Zhou Xing disappeared on the plane, his heart ached like a needle, and he couldn't help but hold Jiang Xingyu's hand tightly, and buried his head in front of his hospital bed with sobs: "Ah Xing! It's me who is sorry for you." .”

The fingertips in the palm trembled slightly, like butterfly wings flapping the water.

"It's moving!" Zhou Xing hurriedly straightened up, looked at Jiang Xingyu in disbelief, and shouted excitedly. "A Xing!! A Xing!!! Did you hear me?"

Lu Jiaming also gathered around and shouted: "Hey! Ah Xing!! I'm back too! Jiang Xingyu!!"

Jiang Xingyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and finally slowly opened his eyes.

"You are all here. I can't be dead, am I?"
