Hit ghost

"Xie Jin wake up, Xie Jin..."

Consciousness was gradually awakened with each call, Xie Jin opened his unbelievably heavy eyes, a ray of golden sunlight hit his face, it was warm and had a nice smell.

"Are you up? Xiaoye is here, waiting for you in the hall." The woman's gentle face came into his sight, Xie Jin involuntarily widened his eyes the moment he saw her face clearly.

"...Mom? Why are you still alive...uh!"

As soon as the subconscious words were blurted out, the woman's slap fell on the top of his head instantly: "What are you talking about, little bastard, you don't expect my order even if you have nightmares, get up quickly!"

Holding his aching head from his mother's "love care", Xie Jin was ignorantly got out of bed under the woman's urging, and his figure was reflected in the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the room.

The man who was not tall was only wearing a fat sleeveless vest. This vest was a bit too long, and it looked like a slightly shorter dress on him.

The hair that just woke up was a bit messy, but because it wasn't very long in the first place, the ends of the hair were only slightly raised, and there was a baby-fat face underneath.

Xie Jin finally rubbed that rather round face in the mirror with the strange self. It seemed that something was wrong. He always felt that he had forgotten something, but he really couldn't remember it.

The woman who was still making the bed behind saw him in a daze, and raised her eyebrows on her pretty face again, "Go wash your face soon? How long has Ono been waiting, so be careful if you continue to grind and slap your old lady."

Xie Jin hurriedly responded, he knew too well that his mother only seemed to be very gentle on the surface, once she got angry and made a fuss, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After hurriedly changing his clothes, he dragged his shoes and ran out of the room. When he walked through the small but warmly furnished living room, he saw a boy of his own age sitting there, holding a half-eaten watermelon in his hand .

"You're finally up, slob Xie Jin." The boy also saw Xie Jin, and he watched Xie Jin running towards him with an apologetic expression on his face, curling his lips in feigned dissatisfaction, "I thought you were going to let me go again."

"I'm sorry, I seem to have had a very long nightmare just now, how long have you been here?" Xie Jin looked at the boy in front of him with watermelon juice on his mouth, and laughed twice.

This brat with a mature face pretending to be an adult is Ji Xiangye, who he played with since he was a child.

"I don't know, start at least half an hour?" Ji Xiangye threw the melon rind in the trash can, he took out a tissue box from the coffee table to wipe his hands, and continued to tease Xie Jin, "Look at you, don't you just do it?" Did you have a nightmare, why are you still crying?"

Hey, who is crying?

Xie Jin was taken aback by the words, he raised his fleshy little hand to touch his cheek, which had been soaked with tears at some point, he stood behind the sofa a little at a loss, watching Ji Xiangye's exaggerated expression laugh at yourself.

"Auntie, come to see Xie Jin and cry, haha!" Ji Xiangye's loud voice quickly attracted the woman who was still tidying up the bedroom, and she also looked around Xie Jin as if she saw something rare.

"Why are you crying so well? Is Meng Ottman never fighting monsters, or was he punished for failing to get a perfect score in the exam?" The woman raised her chin and squatted down beside Xie Jin. She wanted to keep her son's line of sight, but was caught Xie Jin dodged in a panic.

"I remembered, did you just dream that I was dead?"

Xie Jin froze, the sweat-soaked hair stuck to his forehead blocked most of his eyes, he shook his head suddenly, then threw himself into the woman's arms, burying his face in her warm neck.

"I don't know, I... I can't remember."

Whether it was the woman in his arms or Ji Xiangye who was laughing at the side, neither of them seemed to have expected Xie Jin to have such a reaction. They thought that Xie Jin would refute with a blushing face as usual, but because of his stupid mouth, they had to admit.

But this time Xie Jin didn't, he was like a restless and hesitant little beast, instinctively seeking his mother's protection and warmth, it seemed that he was really scared.

"...Okay, mom is here, don't be afraid." The woman put away her joking tone, and gently patted Xie Jin's back with her hand, as if coaxing him when he was a child, and said softly, "Dreams are always the opposite, we are not afraid. "

"Yeah, Xie Jin, my mother also said that dreams are the opposite, don't you think we can just stand here." Ji Xiangye stepped forward with his lips pursed, and he gently took Xie Jin's hand hanging on the woman's back, " I won't laugh at you anymore, my aunt and I are with you."

Xie Jin didn't respond, he just followed his heart and hugged the woman, and at the same time tightened Ji Xiangye's hand that was holding him.

"Okay, if you don't start, you will be late?" The woman patted Xie Jinhou on the back again, and gently pushed him into her arms, "Oh, the phone rang, your teacher is here to remind you."

She got up and walked around to the other side of the sofa to get the receiver of the landline, but Ji Xiangye didn't let go of Xie Jin's hand. He looked at Xie Jin's eyes with shining teardrops, and asked in a low voice, "Why do you still love to cry like you did when you were a child? Like a little girl."

"I'm not a little girl." Xie Jin defended with a nasal voice. He stared at Ji Xiangye's hand holding his own, and whispered, "I, I'm going to wash my face, I'm going to be late."

He trotted to the bathroom to wash his face, and heard a woman urging through the door: "Son, hurry up, Mr. Yang said that you two are missing, if you don't rush over, the other students will go in first."

"It will be ready soon!" Xie Jin hurriedly ended the battle, and when he wiped his face and walked out of the bathroom, the woman was already waiting for him at the door with a water bottle and a box of iced watermelon in her hand.

"Don't run wild when the weather is hot. Here is the mung bean soup that was boiled at noon. You two will be thirsty for a while. I just said hello to your fat uncle downstairs. He just happened to go to the building materials market and took you there along the way. "

The woman's nagging instructions kept pouring into her ears, but Xie Jin didn't feel the noise. He obediently carried the water bottle on his back, took the box of iced watermelon from her hand, and said goodbye to the woman before leaving the house: "Mom, I'm going out now!" .”

"This child, hurry up." The woman's smiling face responded to him. After Xie Jin put on his shoes, he looked back at the woman. She was wearing an old-fashioned floral dress and was standing there looking at him.

For some reason, there is always a feeling of reluctance. This feeling is inexplicable, as if he will never see a woman again after he walks out of the house, which makes him inexplicably uneasy.

Xie Jin pursed his lips. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. Seeing his abnormal movements, Ji Xiangye tugged at the hem of his clothes.

"Let's go, it's not that I won't go home." Ji Xiangye grabbed Xie Jin's hand again, and he smiled at the woman, "Auntie, we are going out, thank you for the mung bean soup and iced watermelon!"

Being dragged out of the door by Ji Xiangye, the two trotted downstairs, the neighbor fat uncle was sitting in his unknown little gold cup and honked at them.

"Thank you, fat uncle." Ji Xiangye pushed Xie Jin into the van, and then urged, "Sit in, the door on the right side of fat uncle is broken, did you forget?"

"You boy, Human Pizui is not far behind." The fat uncle pinched off the burnt cigarette, threw the cigarette butt out of the window, and looked at Xie Jin in the rearview mirror, "What's wrong with Xiao Jin today, why is he so unhappy?"

"He, he had a nightmare just now...why did you cover my mouth!" Ji Xiangye swayed from side to side to avoid Xie Jin's extended hand, "Xie Jin just had a nightmare and cried!"

"I, I didn't cry!" Xie Jin retorted louder, but his flushed face and stammering words indirectly made his rebuttal self-defeating.

"Crying? There's no shame in that. You're only a little bit older. When you grow up to be a man like Uncle Fatty, you won't cry because of nightmares anymore."

The fat uncle laughed heartily. When he looked in the rearview mirror again, he found that Xie Jin and Ji Xiangye who were sitting in the back row had weird expressions. He found it strange, so he asked them, "Why, look at me with this kind of eyes?" I?"

"I don't want to be like a fat uncle when I grow up." Ji Xiangye gestured an arc with his hands in front of his stomach, and then imitated the fat uncle to straighten his stomach, "My mother said that being too fat will make you taller, that's not healthy. "

"Hey, you brat, we'll have to talk to each other when we get out of the car."

Xie Jin watched the two of them talking, and there was a faint smile on his face. I don't know why he hasn't felt this way for a long time. This most ordinary daily life can make him laugh.

The van stopped in front of the newly built aquarium, but the fat uncle still didn't get out of the car and told Ji Xiangye that he had to rush to the building materials market to choose materials for his soon-to-be-married son to make furniture.

Xie Jin and Ji Xiangye followed the teacher who was waiting for them outside the aquarium to check the tickets and entered. The moment they entered the aquarium in the sweltering weather, they were cut off by the blue world.

"Wow, so many fish!"

There was no time to sigh too much, the two of them were taken to the big team by the teacher - today is the group visit day organized by the school, the blue at a glance dilutes the dullness and irritability of summer, and brings freshness to everyone present.

Because there were only students and the leading teacher on the tour day, and the students were not allowed to move freely, Xie Jin and Ji Xiangye walked at the end of the line, watching the fish while eating iced watermelon.

"It's the dolphins, Xie Jin, I really want to jump in and swim with them." Ji Xiangye lay on the half glass, and he teased the dolphins in the pool with the watermelon in his hand, "Do you want to eat it?"

"Are they really free?"

Xie Jin's muffled voice came from behind him. Ji Xiangye looked back and saw that Xie Jin's eyes were in a daze, and he just stared blankly at the dolphins swimming back and forth in the semi-enclosed pool and asked questions.

"I was locked up here to be scrutinized by people every day, and I was forced to learn difficult movements for a bite of food. They originally belonged to the ocean, didn't they?"

"What's wrong with you, you suddenly said such profound words." Ji Xiangye stuffed the watermelon into his mouth, and looked at Xie Jin inexplicably, "This doesn't look like you, did you see something strange recently? ?”

He walked to Xie Jin's side, raised his hand and imitated an adult, and pressed the back of his hand to Xie Jin's forehead, "It seems to be about the same temperature as mine, are you okay?"

yeah what am i talking about

Xie Jin was a little stunned, the words just now blurted out subconsciously as if he hadn't thought about them.

It was as if... there was another person living in him, another person with a different mind speaking.

"You don't even know. When you fainted when you touched something dirty, it scared me to death. Are you okay? Did you really see something again?"

Ji Xiangye's words brought back bad memories for Xie Jin, he shook his head, grabbed the boy's hand and replied in a muffled voice: "It's okay, Ah Ye, let's go."
