Chapter 394 Seeing Through
"Brother! I'm out of school!"
Bai Yanliang only had time to hear this cry. When he turned his head, his heart beat violently uncontrollably. He didn't even see the figure clearly before he completely lost consciousness and fell down.
As if there was some kind of force preventing him from meeting his other self, Bai Yanliang's collapse came extremely suddenly, and similarly, it didn't take too long for him to wake up.
When he opened his eyes again, he was lying on the gray sofa, and the dim sun shone on the patterned floor, casting a shadow.
Bai Yanliang stood up and looked at the figure by the window. It turned out to be his brother Bai Yanren.
At this moment, his hands were resting on the window sill casually, and his eyes were looking at the dim sky intently, but he didn't seem to be looking at anything specific.
Bai Yanliang followed his gaze and could only see a large thick cloud moving slowly. The edge of the cloud layer was coated with a layer of orange-red, as if it contained something.
Seemingly hearing the movement, Bai Yanren turned his head and looked at Bai Yanliang silently, his eyes rarely showed unspeakable confusion.
"Who are you?"
It wasn't until Bai Yanren asked this question that Bai Yanliang realized that the brother in his memory was completely different from the real him.
Brother... he doesn't seem to be a happy person. When he was a child, he couldn't understand it, but now he was shocked to realize that Bai Yanren was filled with a strong sense of loneliness, so lonely that even if there was another person standing side by side with him , also appeared alone.
Bai Yanliang didn't know how to answer. Boats were sailing under the moon, people were drowning in the water... Where the full moon reflected, there was a door connecting to the past world.
Moreover, judging from the reactions of Xu Zhifei and Gu Pingsheng, they seemed not surprised by the appearance of this door.
It's even possible that they came just for this door.
Seeing Bai Yanliang's silence, Bai Yanren did not ask further questions. He just whispered: "Just now, my brother came back. The moment he opened the door, you and he lost consciousness at the same time."
He is simply describing a fact.
"I took him to the bedroom, he should be awake soon," Bai Yanren's eyes fell on Bai Yanliang's face, "You and my brother look very similar."
Bai Yanliang opened his mouth slightly and was about to speak when he heard a call from the bedroom: "Brother..."
He woke up.
Bai Yanren glanced at Bai Yanliang, turned around and went to the bedroom.
Bai Yanliang looked down at his hands. Until now, he still couldn't understand whether he had really gone back to the past or whether he had fallen into some recreated time fragment.
After a while, Bai Yanren came out.
"Come with me, you and my brother can't meet, right?" He revealed the truth in one sentence.
Bai Yanliang stood up, remained silent, and followed him out of the living room.
"I'll do my homework after dinner. I'll come back later to check!" Bai Yanren shouted in the direction of the bedroom before leaving home.
"...I know!" A feeble wail came from the bedroom.
As the door closed with a click, Bai Yancai smiled and looked at Bai Yanliang: "What should I call you, Yanliang?"
After that, without waiting for Bai Yanliang's response, Bai Yanren went downstairs on his own.
Bai Yanliang's pupils were trembling. He was not an emotional person, but the impact Bai Yanren had on him at this moment was too great.
The two of them were walking on the street one after another. The skylight had not faded away yet. When they looked up, they could still see the thick clouds from before. But now it was tainted by the night. It was like a black stone set in the sky. It could appear at any time. It may collapse and bring disaster to the city.
The street lights have been turned on. There are not many mosquitoes at this time of year, but there are still a few moths that are still desperately chasing the bright places.
High, low, and scattered neon signs spread out in the early night. Night market vendors were also squeezed out on the huge streets, and motorcycles turned up from nowhere. .
Bai Yanren and Bai Yanliang walked forward calmly in this chaotic and noisy environment. They kept walking until they reached a grilled fish shop.
"Remember, the grilled fish here tastes very good."
Bai Yanren said with a thick smile.
As he spoke, he greeted the boss: "Boss, here is a grilled fish, just for the two of us to eat, and you watch the grilling." "Okay!"
The resolute reply was quickly drowned in the sound of sizzling oil, the honking of cars, and the hawking and arguing on the street.
Bai Yanliang sat down in a daze and was stunned for a long time.
The aroma of grilled fish floated in the night breeze. This was not a high-end roadside shop, but it gave him a rare sense of being alive.
"Yanliang, a lot has happened to you in recent years, right?"
Bai Yanren sat in front of him and looked at him softly.
He remembered his younger brother from childhood, but the younger brother in front of him seemed to be a completely different person.
For Bai Yanliang at this moment, he can finally show a little bit of his true self...
My brother is very smart and he knew it when he was very young.
Bai Yanren, who knew the existence of the Nine Hells, had a far better understanding of the past and future than ordinary people. Therefore, even if a strange "brother" like himself appeared in front of him, he could still understand it.
"I...come from ten years later."
Bai Yanliang took a deep breath and said slowly.
Bai Yanren's pupils trembled slightly. It was one thing to guess, but it was another thing to hear the other party admit it personally.
At this point, Bai Yanliang stopped hiding anything and told Bai Yanren everything about himself, his brother, and... everything he knew about what would happen in the future.
The faster he spoke, the brighter his eyes became.
Bai Yanren just listened and did not interrupt. Only when the waiter came up with grilled fish, his voice would temporarily stop, and then Bai Yanliang's narration came again.
There were indeed too many things holding back in his heart, the most important of which was the death of his brother that year.
Just like the torrent found an outlet to vent, Bai Yanliang himself couldn't stop talking at the end.
The real him has been silent for too long...
When Bai Yanren listened to what Bai Yanliang told about what would happen in the future, although his expression did not change, his hand holding the chopsticks became tighter and tighter.
He smiled and served the grilled fish to Bai Yanliang, who was talking endlessly. It was only at this moment that he finally confirmed... that he succeeded.
No one knew how excited Bai Yanren was when Bai Yanliang admitted his identity.
Bai Yanliang's presence at this moment strengthened his thoughts.
Although Yanliang's personality almost completely changed when he grew up.
But...he is still alive, really alive!
Bai Yanren smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.
But in his eyes, besides being gentle, there were also a few extremely dangerous glances.
"Yanliang, brother succeeded..."
The two brothers' home.
In his childhood, Bai Yanliang was lying on his desk writing homework. As he wrote, drops of red blood wet the homework book.
The little boy who was bleeding from his orifices didn't even notice it and kept writing and drawing in his homework book...
(I'm back! I lost half my life and started to resume updates! I will write a new book after this book is finished. Don't worry, everyone, but I may have to write slower. My body is not feeling well yet, and I am positive again. We I just focus on slow work and meticulous work, and don’t care about grades. The completion of this book has become my obsession. The completion of the book comes first)
Lost half my life, came back...restored and updated everyone.
