Chosen Son

Gu Fan was woken up by the sound of the alarm.

He was sleeping soundly, and was caught off guard by the phone ringtone he had set to disturb his dream. With his eyes closed, he touched the phone next to the pillow with his hands, and opened his eyes reluctantly, looking at the screen. The time displayed on:

It was exactly six o'clock.

What... He muttered vaguely in his heart. Although his mind was in chaos, he still subconsciously felt that the time was really early, so he adhered to the golden time in the morning to sleep for an extra minute. On the principle of 1 minute, he turned over and fell asleep again.

After 30 seconds, he sat up abruptly and looked around.

The dim chandelier, the milky white desk and single bed, the messy wardrobe, all seem so familiar, and it is this familiarity that makes it so strange .

Because he clearly remembered that he was dead.

Not only that, but he also believed in the nonsense of a mysterious voice called the system, shuttled back and forth in different worlds, communicated with some strange people, completed some strange tasks, and once wanted to give up He loves it, but seeing that he has reached the last world, he suddenly returned to his home.Is it a coincidence, a bug or...

There was the smell of food coming from the kitchen, and he didn't need to look to know that it was his mother who had prepared breakfast.The university he attended is very close to home, so he often lives at home. Every morning when he wakes up, his mother will prepare breakfast for him before going to work. Generally speaking, it is simple fried dough sticks with soy milk or fried eggs, but this After a while he smelled the smell but suddenly felt a little sad.

Sure enough, only when you lose it will you know how to cherish it.

As he sighed, he opened his phone, and the time displayed on the screen was October 2018, 10, which was the day after his car accident. That is to say, no matter what, in this world, he escaped that disaster.

"Fanfan, are you awake? Wake up and have breakfast."

"Oh, I'll be right there."

Responding to his mother's voice in the kitchen, he quickly grabbed a few clothes from the closet and put them on. Before finishing the messy clothes, he suddenly felt a strange feeling.

It's an eerie feeling, like someone is watching you from the shadows and you don't know it.If he hadn't experienced the baptism of the five worlds, he might have ignored it, but now, this vague feeling made him feel a little bit uncomfortable, and he slightly pulled the wrinkled shirt collar , glanced back.The curtains in his room are two-layered, the inner layer is made of thick cloth, and the outer layer is made of light gauze. At this moment, only the gauze curtain is closed, covering everything outside in a blur. After thinking about it, I went over and opened the curtain.

Behind the building they live in is another residential building, and what he is facing right now is the living room of the family on the same floor, but the living room has no curtains, and the inside is empty, and it is a rough room that has not been renovated.

Maybe it's his nervousness... he thought.

He closed the curtains again, and ran to the dining room after washing in order to avoid a second fatal urging from a certain lady.

Sure enough, only 5 minutes late, his mother, Ms. Hu Jing, started a long-winded nagging mode:

"It's slow, I tell you not to go to bed so late at night but you don't listen, and you can't get up in the morning. Don't think that you can relax when you are on vacation. Do you know that in the morning..."

Nagging and stuffing food into his hands at the same time, he can be regarded as the best example of hard-talking and soft-hearted.

While pretending to be well-behaved, he put a deep-fried stick into his mouth, and suddenly caught the key word: "It's a holiday, what's a holiday?"

"Didn't your school just issue a notice to suspend classes?" Hu Jing pressed his forehead hard, "Did you forget everything after sleeping? Yesterday I was as happy as a monkey."

Gu Fan didn't even bother to complain about his mother's words to him, so he just put the fried dough sticks on and started looking at his phone. After a while, he saw the notice of class suspension in the class group:

"According to the weather forecast, the city is expected to experience blizzard in the next week. In order to ensure travel safety, the school will be closed for a week. Students are requested to do a good job of self-study at home."

He raised his head in disbelief: "Blizzard?"

"Yes." Hu Jing looked at him a little strangely, and touched his forehead hesitantly, "I don't have a fever, why is it so strange today, didn't you watch the news with us yesterday? Say yes What about the rare heavy snow in a century, I told your dad to park the car in the underground garage when he came back this morning."

Gu Fan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, looked at Hu Jing with the expression that he was going to take the thermometer if he was talking nonsense, but he swallowed the words back, his back felt a little hairy for a moment.

The city where his home is located is located in the south, and even in the coldest month of the year, there are sporadic light snowfalls.The last blizzard he remembered was in [-].The heavy snow that could cause the school to suspend classes for a week actually happened in December, not to mention the coincidence, he has the habit of checking the weather forecast every morning, and the day of the car accident was no exception. The weather forecast on his mobile phone showed that the future It's been sunny all week.

And judging by Hu Jing's face, this seems to be a very normal thing.

He dared to say that either the people in the original world experienced a collective brainwashing while he was away, or that the world had changed its original operating laws for some reason and turned into an abnormal world.

No matter what the situation is, it is quite troublesome for him.

He smiled awkwardly at Hu Jing very wisely, and didn't ask any more questions.He didn't ask questions, but Hu Jing didn't stop her chatter.

"Stay at home all day, since it's a holiday, go out more. It seems that a new flower shop has opened at the gate of our community. After a while, you can buy me a pot of green plants and put them next to the computer desk. Staring at the screen all day will make your eyes tired. of."

"Understood." He swallowed the last mouthful of fried dough sticks, "Isn't it a blizzard, they are still open now?"

"Isn't this not yet?" Hu Jing said, "If you can do business for a while and make more money, just make a little bit."

"Is this the professionalism of a businessman?" Gu Fan snorted.

What Hu Jing said must be listened to, whether it is in the original world or this abnormal world, otherwise he will have to wait for endless chatter like copying the property. According to the experience he has summed up in the past 20 years, it is fine. It's better for him not to mess with his own mother.What's more, he can't see anything at home, so he might as well go out and look for clues while on vacation.

Thinking of this, he almost felt that the holiday was a coincidence.

Gu Fan shook off the wandering thoughts in his head, and walked into the legendary flower shop.

Generally speaking, flower shops are decorated with a more artistic atmosphere, and this shop is no exception.Probably because it just opened, the doorway is filled with bouquets of flowers of various colors, creating an effect of colorful competition.The owner of the store is a young girl, sitting at the table facing the door and playing computer, she probably heard footsteps, she poked her head out, with exquisite makeup, a little beautiful mole on the corner of her mouth, and said to Gu Fan : "Look at it casually, tell me which pot you like."

Gu Fan thought for a while, then made gestures and said, "Is there any green plant that is easy to support, the one that can grow strong by itself without you caring about it, and looks good when placed?"

The girl was amused, she put down the work at hand and stood up: "Your request is really high enough, why don't you buy some plastic flowers and put them back, it doesn't matter if they look good."

"No, no, my mother specified that she wants green plants." Gu Fan stuffed his pockets and strolled around in front of each pot, consciously dazzled, "Boss, just recommend it. I'm good at business."

"Here, there, have you seen the cactus? Watering once every ten days and half a month is fine. It's simple and rough, and it's easy to feed, but it's a bit thorny." The proprietress pouted at a large area in the distance.

Gu Fan had the experience of being stabbed in the palm of his hand by a cactus thorn when he was a child, and now he has lingering fears: "No, no, I'm afraid that one day I'll get sleepy in front of the computer, and a thorn will stab it in the face."

In the end, after turning around, the boss still picked out a pot of small coconuts for him. Looking at the ordinary green leaves, which were unattractive, Gu Fan looked very pleasing to the eye, so he readily finalized the plan and paid for it. , he took advantage of the situation, and while circling around the shop, he asked:

"Boss, the heavy snow is coming soon, you are still running the store, why don't you hurry up and clean it up?"

"Isn't there still a snowy day like yours coming here to buy things?" The girl was straightforward, so she picked up the stalk, and seeing Gu Fan's choked face, she showed a somewhat smug smile, " My house is by the nearby river, so it’s easy to clean up.”

"That river nearby?" Gu Fan recalled the surrounding terrain here, and was a little dazed for a while.

I don't think there are any rivers around... Did this change the terrain by the way?

"It's a good thing you still live here." Seeing him in a daze, the girl curled her lips and pointed to the east, "Go along this road, turn the corner and go straight ahead. There is a park over there. The park is past the river, my house is by the river, and the bridge is past."

After her prompting, Gu Fan finally got some impressions, he twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled wryly: "You call it nearby? I remember walking there for at least 10 minutes."

"It looks like someone who doesn't exercise regularly." The girl smiled, as if thinking of something, she opened the drawer and stuffed a colorful thing into his hand, "No, a small gift, I suddenly remembered, When I went for a run in the park that day, the gym gave me a [-]% off coupon, I think you need it."

Gu Fan: "..."

He couldn't refuse this overly enthusiastic kindness, so he stuffed the coupon in his hand into his pocket, picked up the bag and was about to turn around and go out, when he felt that peeping gaze from the dark again, his hand stopped, and then Turn around as if nothing had happened.

It was empty outside the door, only an ordinary car sped past, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The author has something to say: I... be forewarned, this world is a bit scary.

At least I was a little bit intimidated when I was outlining, and to share that fear, I decided to post until midnight
