【Ghost in Black and White】The Thief of Time

At the beginning of July, plum blossoms appeared, and the whole city was hot. Knock an egg on the curb and wait for three seconds, and you will get a ready-made one-sided fry. Only in the hypnosis room of Ping An University, the temperature is still maintained at the standard. of 26°C.

Today's experiment is only one more step than before. After completing this step, the anesthesiologist put away the medicine and went back to the next door to stand by.

The hypnosis chair was facing the air conditioner, and Hei Yu cut a piece of gauze around the needle eye on Yue Bai's arm: "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Yuebai also leaned on the back of the chair with the same expression as usual: "Last time I was talking about making hot pot, but my mother came, so I didn't finish it."

Putting the scissors back into the pen holder, Hei Yu sat in Yan Mo's usual position: "Okay, then let's go to a supermarket first when it's over. You can buy at least three bags of mutton rolls, and at least a dozen fish bamboo wheels."

After not eating a few mouthfuls of lunch, Yuebai was really hungry: "I want to eat curry fresh shrimp pot, the kind of shrimp that you need to peel yourself."

I'm still nervous after finishing the chores, but I can't escape what should come.Yan Mo adjusted the clock: "Is everything ready?"

Yuebai finally adjusted her posture, and let go of Heiyu's hand: "It's time to start."

The sunlight was completely blocked out, and as the second hand ticked, Heiyu's voice sounded slowly, as if an ancient and solemn ceremony was being performed.Relax, induce, deepen, after Yan Mo's guidance, every step of his is very steady.After Yuebai was able to obey the instructions subconsciously, the judge and the other three associate professors who were watching the monitor next door were relieved, and started their own records separately.

It seemed that there was nothing to worry about, Yan Mo began to think about whether the next postgraduate quota could be charged one more, but at this moment, an unplanned introduction sounded in his ear.

"Yuebai, you just came out of school, you need to find your brother."

"Hei Yu!" The directionality of these words was too clear, Yan Mo lowered his voice to stop, "You have to stimulate his own memory, not over-guidance!"

But Hei Yu had already made up his mind, and continued without paying attention: "Did you see the Tangli tree? There is a row of railroad tracks under the tree, go there."

"My brother is on the opposite side of the railway track. You step over here, and my brother is waiting for you."

As expected, the excessive guidance caused Yuebai to have the first rejection reaction again, grabbing the handrail and whimpering, but Kuroba was even bolder than Yan Mo, and had no intention of stopping at all.

Seeing Yan Mo's gesture in the surveillance, the judge immediately led people to control the field as agreed in advance. After opening the door, he heard a childish "brother", as if it came from the mouth of a child.

Startled, he raised his hand to stop the people behind him.

In the few seconds since they came over from the next door, Yuebai had already stood up from the recliner, and was staggering forward as if sleepwalking with her eyes open, her body seemed to contain another young soul: "Brother is leaving, but There is a train, the train is coming soon, what should I do, brother..."

The weird scene was beyond everyone's expectations, but it was too late for Hei Yu to correct it, cold sweat gradually condensed on his skin, he stopped in front of Yue Bai, and opened his arms towards him: "Yue Bai, come here, brother is here."

The light from the outside fell in through the thick velvet curtains, like the melting moonlight that night, and the white butterfly in the dream turned out to be Tangli flower petals.He was right.

This time, Yan Mo finally took over the follow-up wake-up link, but Yuebai fell asleep and did not respond to the snapping of fingers.The associate professor pushed instruments from the next door and surrounded him. Heiyu was in a trance, grabbed one and asked, "Doctor, is this a failure of the operation? Can he still wake up?"

The associate professor checked the panel data: "Don't worry, hypnosis is not a surgery, he just fell asleep after exhaustion."

Hei Yu came back to his senses, and after confirming again and again, he sat on the ground next to the recliner as if he had been pardoned.But Yuebai didn't wake up, so he still couldn't feel at ease.

That night, the judge's office was requisitioned again, and Yuebai was put on the sofa bed. After everyone left, Heiyu leaned sideways beside him: "Why are you frowning again, are you dreaming?" He brushed away Yuebai's bangs, bowed his head Kissing between the eyebrows, "Don't worry, everything will be fine when you wake up. Good night."

Hei Yu didn't close his eyes all night, and Yan Mo also brought his people to a meeting all night, but for Yuebai, this night was normal.

Like the previous two times, the experience after entering the hypnotic state disappeared without a trace the moment he opened his eyes. He sat up and recalled it repeatedly, and the scene only stayed on the conversation about eating hot pot at night.

"Hei Yu?" Pushed the person next to him, but Hei Yu buried half of his face in the pillow, as if he was very tired from sleeping, "Then I'll go to the supermarket by myself, there will be delicious food when I come back, wait for me. "

After washing up and going out, I still left a note on the pillow before leaving.When he came back with two plastic bags, there was still no movement on the sofa bed.

"Go on to sleep, I'll go to the dormitory to get an induction cooker."

Hei Yu couldn't hold on to sleep until almost dawn. He was really exhausted physically and mentally. After an unknown amount of time, he turned his face and felt the empty space at his hand. He suddenly woke up: "Yuebai!"

He rushed out while pulling on his shoes. The students who came for psychological counseling gathered in the corridor were noisy, but he brushed them aside one after another and cast curious eyes.

Just in time for Yuebai to come back from turning the corner with the induction cooker in his arms, he was startled when he saw his distraught appearance, and hurriedly pushed him back into the door.

"I'm just going to get something, what are you doing? Didn't you see the note you left?"

Then the adults are gone, who still cares to read the article!Hei Yu hugged his waist: "You fucking...you are so good at scaring me..."

Comforting him with hugs and hugs, Yuebai set up a pot to cook the broth.All the ingredients were unpacked and served on the table. I actually bought a dozen of Yuzhulun. When the broth was slurping, the delicious smell came out, making people hungry.

Hei Yu peeled the prawns and asked, "I haven't forgotten eating hot pot, but do you remember what happened yesterday?"

Yuebai forced herself to go shopping in the supermarket all morning, but she still had a blank mind and shook her head: "Is it not going well? Otherwise we won't stay here overnight."

"It's the greatest success if you wake up." Whether it's surgery or hypnosis, Heiyu only holds the minimum expectation, that is, Yuebai can wake up.Although he was a little disappointed that the hypnosis didn't work, he didn't want to affect Yuebai's mood, so he just put it off, "But now that I think about it, you slept like a Sleeping Beauty yesterday, so pretty, I really regret not kissing you. "

"You are the one who cast the curse, and you are the one who broke the curse. You have a lot of drama." Yuebai also opened this page first when he heard him joking, picked up a shrimp to check the results of the homework, "I didn't pull the shrimp thread What's the matter with you, you don't remember to pull the shrimp line every time!"

Eating hot hot pot with the air conditioner turned on, and a plate full of hot sauce makes every pore open comfortably, which is particularly enjoyable.After eating, I put the induction cooker back in the dormitory, and the bustling campus became empty overnight.Then go to the Student Affairs Office to hand in the application form for summer accommodation, and the last summer vacation in the four years of university officially begins.

Hypnotized three times, it was equivalent to standing still. It didn't matter if Yuebai couldn't remember, but he was worried that the project would be hindered, so he went to the judge for a week to find work with guilt.

After the holiday, more than half of the daily affairs of the research institute were suspended, and the judge felt that life was leisurely, so he was happy to have someone to accompany him to warm a cup of tea.After Yuebai finished sorting out the materials, he called up the last hypnosis video to show him. Yuebai held the mouse, dumbfounded: "Is this sleepwalking?"

"This voice, is it me talking?"

"Trains... Kuroba mentioned trains before."

Finally, I closed the computer and sighed: "I don't have any impression at all... Does it mean that the experiment failed?"

"Do you think you have failed?" The judge put down the wooden clip, lifted the pot like a waterfall with his hands, and lightly lifted his wrist, "Come on, sparrow tongue tea, let's smell it first."

Yuebai took the tea cup, frowning: "Even if you didn't fail, it must not be considered a success, right?"

"You have to undergo hypnosis at least three more times this month. Whether it is successful or not, it is too early to draw conclusions."

This great doctor has a lot of reading, and he is especially good at speaking with facts. With a pot of tea, he gave Yuebai several famous cases in the history of hypnosis. "There is a road in front of the mountain, and the boat is straight at the head of the bridge. There is a definite plan, and everything is arranged. You don't have to worry." He said and took the third bowl of tea, "Come, how does it compare with the first brew?"

The yellow-green leaves stretched out on the bottom of the white porcelain bowl, Yuebai took a sip, and the scent of flowers soaked into the taste buds: "Sweet."

"Isn't it sweet? You can't get the sweetness out of the first brew, and the time for tea is all in time. It's the same here." He tapped Yuebai's temple with a wooden clip, "Flowers don't bloom overnight, you have to give them It takes time."

The head of the club also really wants someone to give him some time. Since the holiday, he has even spent the day picking up customers, and he can only act coquettishly and flirtatiously during the lunch break.

Tasting the judge's hints along the way, Yuebai's pace slowed down a bit, Heiyu sat at the small dining table and waited until the end of time: "The flowers are all withered, the food is rotten, and you're late, I'm cold."

"Are you cold?" You came 3 minutes late and drooped your face. Love really makes people mentally retarded. However, Yuebai saw the mentally retarded like a flower seeing the sun, and teased Heiyu's face, "When I came in just now How do you hear that some people have recruited three new apprentices, and they fight fiercely with them every day?"

"It's not summer vacation anymore, let's help the parents take care of the children." Hei Yu kissed his palm sideways and pulled him onto his lap, "The three high school students are all beautiful little boys, who are more beautiful than you." It was still noisy at that time. How about it, isn’t it a sense of crisis?”

"There is no sense of crisis, full of hunger." It was easier to tease Hei Yu than to chat with the judge, and Yuebai stuffed the chopsticks into his hands and sat across from him, "We have to make a rule that molesting minors is not allowed during working hours, and even less during non-working hours." Allow, now, to eat."

"You still asked me to come, and I don't know who was the person who always teased me when I was underage." As soon as the chopsticks were tapped, Heiyu ate openly, "Fortunately, I am very aggressive when I am underage. Basically unmoved." Thinking of Yuebai's undulating appearance on his body in school uniform, he smacked his lips regretfully, "In the end, the age of first love was delayed by five years, and he failed to catch up with the trend of puppy love."

The picture in Yuebai's mind became much purer, and she laughed out loud, "You are not moved? Then you will be jealous of the big tengu."

During these ordinary conversations, the door of memory has been quietly loosened, but one didn't realize it, and the other was called out to talk by the manager at an inopportune time, so he didn't hear it.

And the conversation was pretty serious.

Yuebai stopped to wait for him, and after talking with Heiyu, he came back and asked, "Is there any arrangement for the NO.20 research institute this month?"

He flipped through his phone: "No. 19 Yan Mo came back from a meeting, NO. 20 arranged an experiment in the afternoon, you have to come. What's the matter with the club?"

There is plenty of time for the project, so there is no hurry, Kuroba sat down, his expression seemed ready to move: "Let's move it back a day, there is a competition, and the final time is also set at No. 20, I have to prepare in advance, there will be one old acquaintance."

When mentioning the experiment, Yuebai remembered: "I watched the video at the judge's place. During the hypnosis, you mentioned the railway tracks and Tangli trees. You also mentioned it when you played ball on the rooftop. What is this place? It's very important. ?"

Hei Yu was completely immersed in the planning of the game, and replied absent-mindedly: "You came to chase me the night my parents got divorced, the section of the railroad track should still be there, and I'll take you to have a look after I finish cleaning up the people who should be cleaned up. "

From this day on, all of Hei Yu's private lessons were postponed, and the judge's text messages were not answered, and he entered a closed state of preparation, even Yue Bai just supervised him for a meal and left.

The project of the Institute of Psychology was temporarily put on hold because of Yan Mo's business trip. Yuebai watched the video over and over again at the judge's place, and listened to a lot of short stories like "the world is so wonderful", and sent them to Heiyu every night as a joke. To relieve boredom, after a long time, I was also taught some tea art knowledge.

The two stayed up until No. 20 each, and went to the competition venue together in the morning, and Kuroba was caught and tied his tie again before going on the field.

In the corridor, Yuebai asked him in a low voice: "You tell me in advance, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"It's fine, I'm not nervous." Hei Yu knew, shaking his chin, "Just get ready and watch."

Gambling games and professional competitions are completely black and white. The stains in the former type of competition do not restrict players from participating in professional competitions. Therefore, after half a year, Hei Yu and his old acquaintance met again on a narrow road. Nausea.

Shaking hands before the game, both of them wanted to crush each other's bones.Sakura accompanied the whole process, and sat on the sidelines to tell Yuebai about the drug smoke incident at the end of last year.

In his impression, it was the first time for him to watch Heiyu play. He just felt that an ordinary wooden stick in his hand was like a protractor. However, the position of the ball is always tricky and weird, either being squeezed into the corner of the table, or hiding behind other balls, making it impossible for the opponent to solve.

Heiyu was so focused that he had never been before, and even forgot that Yuebai was sitting on the sidelines. When it came to the deciding round, every shot won a full house, while the opponent's rhythm was completely messed up.

Sakura was very excited: "Have you seen it, this is simply revenge, the calmest and most beautiful revenge I have ever seen!"

Yuebai can understand her mood, but to him, this match is more like a reincarnation.

In the end, Kuroba won the game with a sharp move hidden in the bottom pocket.The audience cheered at the same time, and he immediately put down his club and ran towards the auditorium, a vivid expression finally melted on his ice-like face.

Yuebai knelt down in the first row and wanted to give him a hug, but Heiyu jumped up with one arm and slapped him in the face.

The crowd was quiet for a second, Yuebai was also stunned, and then said in relief: "It's okay, I'm happy anyway, just a kiss is fine."

If it weren't for too many people, Hei Yu's kiss would not be cheeky: "Not only do I want to kiss, but I can't wait to propose to you eight hundred times!"

After the follow-up ceremonies and interviews were completed, everyone went to dinner together with their gold medals in their hands.The club booked a restaurant to celebrate the victory early in the morning, and opened the bottle first after ordering. The manager toasted, and shouted for a long time: "Happy! Drink!"

"It's too boring!" There was a burst of booing on the table, and then Sakura pushed Hei Yu, "Don't you say a few words if you have to take revenge?"

Heiyu glanced at Yuebai thoughtfully, and stood up holding the cup: "I have a few words to say, so let me chatter casually, everyone."

He bowed his head in silence for a moment, then spoke in a deep voice: "I am very happy to have won the game today, but the reason is different from what you thought." Hei Yu put his arms around Yuebai's shoulders, "You all know that this is my younger brother , He also came in the last game, he came overnight, he still had a fever, and I was not in good shape, it was probably the worst day we have ever experienced.”

"Half a year has passed now. During these more than 200 days, many things have happened between us, happy and sad, but the most fortunate thing is that until today's game, he is still by my side."

Unexpectedly, she would become the protagonist of "casual chatter", Yuebai stood up nervously.Heiyu turned to him: "Yuebai, you don't seem to like anything in particular except for studying since you were young. In the past 20 years, I haven't given you any decent gifts, so I will use today's game as the limit. I will give it to you every day in the future, and you will have me in your memory for the next 60 years."

After Hei Yu finished speaking, he drank the wine and booed even more loudly: "I told you to give your acceptance speech, and you fucking dragged your brother out of the closet!"

After they sat down, it was the next one's turn to speak, Yuebai quietly asked him: "How long have you been thinking about these words?"

"I just thought about it when I was playing. In fact, I have hidden a few sentences that I can only tell you, but it's too messy here, so I'll talk about it later."

Yuebai got up immediately: "I'm going to the bathroom."

Hei Yu followed him to the open-air balcony on the second floor, Yue Bai turned around and leaned against the railing full of potted plants: "It's quiet here, let's talk."

As the wind passed, Hei Yu took his hand: "The 60 years I said just now are all serious."

Yuebai nodded, and he continued: "And what I said before to give you a home is also serious."

Yuebai laughed: "I know, let's work hard together."

"You can make a decision after I finish speaking." Hei Yu looked at the hands they held, and then his eyes fell back on Yuebai's face, "You also know that with a personality like mine, I may still cling to it every day when I get old. You, if you get bored in the future, you can scold me or beat me, but remember that I love you."

Yuebai thought he was going to say something terrible, so she responded gently with "yes".

Hei Yu took half a step closer to him: "Also, even though I'm only 3 minutes older than you, I still hope you can rely on me. You can't run out in a fit of anger on rainy days, nor on sunny days. And, don't give yourself multiple choice questions, If the option is to love me or love me more, that’s okay. As your domestic cat, I will show my paws and tusks to others, and leave my meat pads and belly to you, so don’t just care about smoothing Baozi’s fur. Kiss me."

Yuebai pursed her lips, and Heiyu asked again: "It may be like this every day for 60 years. Do you still like this gift?"

The fragrance of flowers was overflowing on the balcony, but her nose was still sore, Yuebai pulled out her hand and rubbed it: "I want to say, you made a mistake just now, but it's not that I don't really like anything."

He raised his head and stared at Heiyu intently: "I like you very much."

After returning from the balcony, they were dragged to drink the wine just now. The celebration lasted for more than three hours.Yuebai had already gotten to know them well, and they scolded the wicked ghosts together when they got drunk, and they agreed to come out together in the future in order to make a comeback.

It was still early after going out, so I decided to take a taxi in groups and go to the KTV to renew the booth.

Under the sycamore tree by the roadside, Yue Bailai smiled drunkenly on Hei Yu's shoulder: "The past six months have been like a dream, I am really afraid that one day I will wake up and find that I am still lying on the sofa in the lounge, and my whole body hurts from you. "

Hei Yu was still awake, and hugged him to look at the end of the road: "Then you are too superficial to be afraid, I am afraid that when I wake up, we will still be confronting each other on the railroad."

After finishing speaking, there was a sudden blank, and he turned his head and asked, "What did you just say? Say it again."

Yuebai thought he wanted to deny it: "You pinched me so hard that my whole body was bruised, maybe I passed out either from illness or from being pinched by you, don't you admit it?"

There was nothing wrong with this, but Hei Yu suddenly pushed him onto the tree trunk, and the falling light swayed at the feet of the two: "You said that I made your whole body hurt and you passed out? Then what?"

"Then I went to the hospital." Yuebai felt something was wrong as she spoke, the drunkenness in her eyes receded, and she looked at Heiyu in disbelief.

"And then, I slept for a long time... After waking up, you fed me porridge and kissed me..."

He tentatively stroked down each sentence, and every time Hei Yu said a sentence, he nodded his head, and the corners of his lips trembled uncontrollably.

"You said it was your first kiss, and I even gave you a number. I'm in a hurry, so you can steal me home."

Yuebai also curled the corners of her lips as she spoke, wiping away the watery light from Heiyu's eyes.The memory is like the flowing water of the gate, and it is getting smoother and smoother: "We did it after returning to the dormitory, and then I found out that the money for the operation was not enough, and you also found out that I was taking painkillers. I sent text messages to others to make money, but I didn't expect you Lock me in the dormitory and go by myself..."

"It's alright, Yuebai, it's alright." Regardless of the people coming and going on the road, Hei Yu hugged him excitedly and turned around.He was ready to give up the past and never look back, but God wanted to surprise him.

He put down Yuebai, leaned against the tree trunk and raised his head, pressing his eyes with the heels of his palms, making it impossible to tell whether he was crying or laughing.Yuebai pulled down his wrist: "Heiyu, what else do you want to know? Ask me again, ask me quickly!"

When the mood stabilized, Hei Yu asked him hoarsely: "Yuebai, are you willing to come with me?"

When they stopped the taxi, they didn't go to the place to renew the stall, and they didn't say anything more, but they were all in the same uneasy mood.

For better or worse, they will all go to this ending together.

In recent years, the city has expanded, and the railroad tracks have long since been abandoned. When I took a taxi and walked, I jumped off the roadbed when the sun was setting.Covered by flowers and plants, two long and endless silver lights spread from the depths of the tall buildings to the distance where the grass is overgrown.

Hei Yu stepped across and turned to Yue Bai with his pockets in his pocket like ten years ago: "Do you remember this place?"

Yuebai stood in the middle of the railroad tracks.How can you not remember?It was here that he almost lost his brother, so in the next ten years, he would pray time and time again for Kuroba not to leave, not to leave him alone.

Taking a deep breath, Yuebai called him loudly: "Brother, where are you going!"

Hei Yu laughed and said nothing, the night wind blew the hem of his clothes, and he said again: "Brother, I brought you milk for lunch."

Still thinking it wasn't enough, Yuebai put all his energy into it: "Brother, will you go home with me?"

"Okay." The fragrance of tea came out, and the flowers should gradually open, Hei Yu stretched out his hand to him, "But this time, it's my brother who will take you home."

Really counting, ten years is just a blink of an eye, the pear blossoms are all gone, and there will be no more trains. The two children from back then have grown up quietly.

Hei Yu said: "Continue to stroke down, I want to hear, what will happen after you chase me back?"

Yuebai squeezed his hand: "It's unfair for me to say it alone, it's your turn next."

"Then let me guess." With his shadow in his eyes, Hei Yu smiled and walked forward in the sunset, "You chased me back, then got a cowhide book, and wrote on the first page that you want to be with me forever Friend. You were 11 years old."

Yuebai walked on the other side of the railway track: "When you were 12 years old, you stole my birthday cake, and later dragged the monitor to give it to me. I know all about it."

"The first fight broke my head when I was 15, because they said you were an unwanted child, but I think you still have me."

"I started chasing you when I was 16. I kissed you for the first time when I was 17. I asked you on the rooftop, brother, do you like me too?"

"I said, but I don't like you, but I am afraid that you will cry and hold you again, because I only have one you in my heart."

"One-on-one basketball pissed you off, looking for a boyfriend pissed you off, I just forgot you at the age of 20."

"But in this year, I finally admitted that I like you."

The years are long, the railroad tracks are long, and they run side by side under the purple clouds.Time takes away the sand and sand, but the past is like pebbles that cannot be stolen, washed by clear water, crystal clear and transparent, they are holding them in their hands, counting one by one, and continuing sentence after sentence.

When I raised my eyes, the dusk suddenly became bright, because there was a drizzle falling at this time.Hei Yu stopped in his tracks and asked him, "What about when you turn 80?"

Yuebai lowered her head, and saw a pair of elongated shadows, holding hands, and raised them up again: "We are still together, inseparable."
