After two years of deep sleep, Ji Tianchi finally woke up from a long, long dream. In the dream, it was a world of ice and snow, but when I woke up, it was full of sunshine. Birds chirped crisply outside the window, and the fragrance of flowers blew in through the fluttering gauze curtains, tiptoeing, as if afraid to startle her. There was a deep chill in her eyes, as if there was snow in a deep pool; but there was a smile on her face, the kind of chaotic and innocent smile that a drunk person shows when he is half asleep and half awake. She looked at the familiar and unfamiliar furniture around her—the carved wardrobe with varnish in the original wood color, the bedside table and chaise longue of the same material, the dressing table with the leather burner table top and black iron-wrapped branches, and the same set of leather on the table. The burnt jewelry box, the tissue box, the lampshade, the small leather burnt pendant extending to the wall... She remembered them, but they were obviously older than she remembered, so they seemed unusual.

Everything is so silent and serious, as if guarding a great secret. The door was closed. The most mysterious thing in the world is the door. Behind every door, there are many stories hidden.No one knows what adventures will happen when the door is opened. There was a slight "click" sound outside the door, as if someone was turning the key. This day is no different for walnuts than any other day. At eight o'clock in the morning, she began to clean the room, then wiped the face of Tianchi, fed fluids, at nine fifteen, Lu Chen'er called on time, and the dialogue continued for half a year.

"How is Sister Ji?" "She is sleeping. Today is better than yesterday." Every day is better than the day before. I don't know if it's true or the human heart hopes so. But all the bosses in the world just want to hear good things, the so-called report good news but not bad news.The facts are not important, what is important is that Walnut can only answer in this way. Because Lu Chen'er was the one who paid her wages. Walnut doesn't know who his master is, Ji Tianchi or Lu Chen'er.However, according to her own understanding ability, she clearly divided the identities of these two people: Tianchi is her work, and Chen'er is the rewarder of her work.

Walnut came to Dalian two years ago.She was wearing older sister's old clothes, which were a little bigger, dangling over her thin frame, making her look thinner—I don't know if she was already thinner than her sister, or the clothes got looser after washing; the pants were men's pants. When it came out, the buttocks were tight, but the crotch was fat and big, and the trouser legs were simply cut off and tucked away, so the half-worn knees now hang down to the calves, not only looking cramped, but also ambiguous. This kind of shameful meaning is not as simple as being poor; of course, don’t think about underwear, and the underwear is made of leftover materials; People, too, seem to be put together with scraps of human beings. They are thin and bony, with slender eyebrows and eyes, long hands and feet, and disproportionately long necks. There is no disharmony.

She is also living on the leftovers of the world, born in a small farm family and growing up in a remote village. She only sees the big world in front of her eyes, and only sees a piece of sky on the roof.The most important thing is that she is a product of superbirth. Yifa doesn't even have a formal name in this world, no household registration, no ID card, and naturally there is no definite position that belongs to her. She squeezes out on the kang at night You can sleep on your side with just a little space, clear the traces when you roll up the bedding in the morning, and walk carefully during the day, walking in the corner of life, dare not say a word, do not take an extra step, let alone extravagant expectations Anyone and anything that doesn't belong to me.

However, the girls who grew up in the countryside are not such models-childhood is always very short, carefree is because the mind has not yet matured, but anyone who understands a little bit about people can understand the hardships of the family and the difficulties of life. Unhappy.After studying together for a few years, they will work together. If they don’t want to farm, they can go to a textile factory in the city to work as a female worker, or they can be someone’s babysitter—even as a babysitter, they probably don’t have a chance to enter high school. He is from a big family, but only cares for the children of ordinary people who are not much better than himself.Young couples with dual careers, no elderly care at home, and have children, so they spend money to hire someone to be a "surrogate mother". Even their own vision is limited, so how can they be kind to others?When negotiating wages, it is natural to bargain, and when the other party enters the door, you have to stare at it, for fear of being taken advantage of, and you must hesitate again and again when paying salary. The banknotes were smoothed and then tightly crinkled, and then deliberately said loudly: Take it, this is for you.It seemed that the money was not earned by the nanny after a month of hard work, but was rewarded by the master for nothing.

——Ji's family is the fourth worker in walnut.Before this, the walnut grew to such a large size that I had never seen a truly noble person. But Tianchi, can Ji Tianchi be regarded as a truly noble person? Even, can Tianchi be regarded as a real person? She doesn't eat, she doesn't talk, she doesn't walk, she doesn't lose her temper, and she hardly does anything except sleep. People usually call this kind of person a "vegetative person".However, vegetative people are still people, right?Or, more like plants? When Walnut saw Tianchi for the first time, he was so shocked that he could hardly speak.In fact, she is not a person who likes to talk. The previous owner often criticized her because of her reticence, and felt that she could not see a good face after spending money.In the commercial society, who doesn't want their investment to be worth more than their money?Hire a nanny, buy her labor, and of course hope to buy her smile.Walnut worked as a nanny for two years and worked in three jobs, but she didn't get a salary increase, just because of her face.

So when she found out that her new job was to serve a non-speaking vegetable, not only did she not feel hard, but she was a little happy because the nature of the job was much simpler.What's more, Lu Chen'er gave her a handsome salary. I have never seen anyone who is as kind to friends as Lu Chen'er.When Walnut first saw Chen'er's meticulous attention to Tianchi, she thought they were sisters, but later she realized that they were just old classmates and good friends.Chen'er told Walnut that Ji Tianchi was flooded while swimming two years ago, and survived the catastrophe, and it has been two years since he became what he is now.She said that as long as Walnut is well taken care of, she will give her a raise.She is very satisfied with Walnut's work, and she always praises Walnut more than exhorts her. She said that Walnut is a docile girl who is rare nowadays. It has become an advantage for Chen'er.

Walnut is also really good at caring for people, whether it is an elderly person who cannot take care of himself or a baby in his infancy.In her eyes, Tianchi is actually similar to a baby, and it won't make trouble.She is more obedient than any customer, and Chen'er is more generous than any boss.Walnut is glad that he has found a good job. When she returned from buying vegetables in the vegetable market and opened the anti-theft door with the key, she was still grateful for herself in her heart. Then she heard a groan, as if someone asked, "Who?" "Who?" Walnut was taken aback, the hairs on his body stood on end, he asked louder, and then rushed into the room.

Then, she saw a woman half-sitting on the bed, staring at herself with wide-eyed eyes.I have seen her face for more than a hundred days and nights, and I don't know how familiar it is. However, at this moment, when she opened her eyes and met his four eyes, it seemed so strange and shocking. The walnuts screamed, and the vegetables were scattered all over the floor. Tianchi looked at the girl in front of him in astonishment, and hadn't recovered from the dream for a while. those ghosts. Those ghosts came out from different corners of the street, crying, laughing, singing, or dancing, all with confused expressions and shaky footsteps.They lost their way and stopped everyone who passed by them to ask directions or invite them to dance, but everyone didn't even know where they were, so how could they give others answers.Tianchi passed through them, searching and searching in the same way, and they were also desolate and panicked.

However, she firmly believed that she did not belong to them, she did not ask anyone for help, but hurried her own way. Somehow, she felt that there was something important to do.No, it was an important person, and she had an important person to save.She ran towards her, wearing an armor of ice and snow, struggling with difficulty. After many years, she will understand that in the dream, the person Ji Tianchi most wants to rescue is actually Ji Tianchi himself. In the past two years, she has been showing signs of dreaming. In the last month, the dream suddenly became clear, her eyes moved frequently under her eyelids, her heart rate increased, and then she even started talking, her hands and feet slightly stretched, and she occasionally opened her eyes. Turned around blankly, closed it again, and fell asleep with the head covered. By then the doctors had already concluded that she would wake up.The two years of waiting and hard work are about to bear fruit, and everyone is very excited. The psychiatrist Cheng Zhifang has even begun to prepare a report on the medical miracle of "vegetative people coming back to life". However, at the moment when Tianchi was truly awake, only the little nanny Fang Hetao was by his side. "Who are you?" Tianchi opened his mouth and found that his voice was a little hoarse. And Walnut, who was obviously more hoarse than her, was surprised: "You're awake! Oh my God, you're awake!" She repeatedly exclaimed and repeated in a daze. She was about to run towards Tianchi, but suddenly realized the He instinctively squatted down to pick up the vegetables, but he clearly wasn't thinking about it, so he came over to help Tianchi sit up, saw the vegetables in his hand, and hurriedly threw them down, giggling silly, at a loss what to do. Tianchi was very sorry for scaring this girl who seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, and tried his best to keep his voice gentle, "Speak slowly." In fact, she herself was really speaking slowly.Very slow, very slow, every word is pronounced perfectly, as if he takes the matter of speaking very seriously, and it seems that a babbling child is pretending to be an adult. "Speak slowly, slowly." Walnut nodded desperately, almost dancing.For the first time, she was angry with herself for being inarticulate.At this moment, how she wished that she could talk endlessly, vividly, like those eloquent people, and tell Tianchi in detail all the things that happened in the past six months. All things, in fact, how much does she know herself?All she knew was what Lu Chen'er told her. Lu Chen'er.Well, let's start with Lu Chen'er. Chen'er and Xu Feng were driving on the road, as usual, while driving, Chen'er was discussing with Xu Feng a new business order that he had received today, after many calculations, he always felt that it was difficult to balance the income and expenditure, more than half a month had passed, I don't know where the employees' wages are, let alone profits, and I am quite troubled. Xu Feng looked at the constant flow of cars and people outside the window, and comforted him casually: "There is nothing you can do if you are in a hurry, just live every day." Chen'er was displeased: "You will say that there is no way, and if there is no way, you can't think of a way? Sitting in the company all day without moving, will some business fall from the sky by itself?" Xu Feng was also annoyed: "Aren't I following you around now? What else do you want? Those clients insist on talking to you by name. What else can I do besides being a bodyguard? How about I become a bodyguard?" Sex reassignment surgery, become a ladyboy to make money?" Chen'er was annoyed: "Aren't you arguing? Are you speaking human language?" Poor and lowly couples mourn everything.However, well-to-do couples with high ambitions and few "financial" can only be more stretched, because the pressure is greater than ordinary people, but the space is less than that of the rich, struggling in the cracks of life, bumping into walls everywhere, almost suffocating. The two husbands and wives jointly run the "Snow Neon Computer Plate Making Company". In the eyes of outsiders, they are a pair of standard classic mandarin ducks who stand together and share weal and woe. In reality, however, that's not the case at all. It is true that there is a common case, and it is true that they advance and retreat together, but they do not appreciate, consider, tolerate, and understand each other. Even if they do the same thing every day, go to work together, go off work together, inseparable, like glue, but they don't want to do this, and they don't want to do this. They just took the same car by accident or on purpose, just like the minivan driving in front of them. Now that they are on the road, they can only run to the finish line.Illegal parking in the middle of the road is not allowed, and passengers are not allowed to pick up and drop off at will. What else can they do except to help each other with one heart and one mind? When the red light came on, Chen'er slammed on the brakes, Xu Feng almost touched his forehead, and was even more dissatisfied: "Why didn't you stop earlier?" "I thought I could break through." "You always grab such a minute and a half second, and you won't grab it if you are deducted by the police." "Is it okay for me to wait alone? I wait, but the people behind don't want to wait, so they want to scold them?" So a new round of bickering began.During the minute when the red light was on, the two of them did not look at each other, but just watched the countdown of the timetable. Neither of them realized that it was not just the red light for driving that was on at the moment. The phone rang at this moment. Walnut hung up the phone and reported: "Miss Lu said that she will come back for dinner with Brother Xu tonight." Tianchi smiled and nodded.It was she who forbade Walnut to tell Chen'er that she had woken up. She wanted to surprise her good friend and give herself some time to wake up.Swimming flooded?Sleeping for two years?How like a fantasy.If Walnut hadn't turned on the TV to let her watch the news, she would really have suspected that she was dreaming at this moment, and she was still in a dream.And walnut is the character in the dream. But Chen'er.Once Chen'er's name came to mind, it was so clear.Thinking of the past between himself and Chen'er in college, it just feels like yesterday.Walnut said that Chen'er was married, but she was still married to Xu Feng.Tianchi still clearly remembers how Chen'er and Xu Feng's love was twists and turns, they broke up more than once, and now they are finally together, which is really worthy of blessing.Back then, she was the one who had been pulling the needle for them. Tianchi asked Walnut: "When I was sick, who else came to see me?" "There is also Dr. Cheng. He is a psychiatrist named Cheng Zhifang. He also comes every day, but only in the morning. He also came this morning. He read the newspaper for you for half an hour before leaving. It's a pity that he left early One point, I didn't see you wake up, or I must have gone crazy." Doctor Cheng?Who is Dr. Cheng?It seems very familiar, but I can't remember it. Tianchi tried his best to search the depths of his memory, but found that his mind seemed to be empty, and he couldn't remember anything except Chen'er. "What else? Who else has been here? What was my previous job?" She was eager to remember more people, more things, what relatives and friends she had, how big her world was, and what kind of stories she had experienced before she fell asleep. But Walnut felt sorry: "There are no more people, maybe there were before, but I don't know them. I have only been here for more than half a year." More than half a year.That is to say, at least two hundred days ago, she had been abandoned by the society, and the only ones who stood by her side were the Chen'er couple and the psychiatrist Cheng Zhifang. Tianchi felt empty in his heart, pressed his temple, and felt a dull pain there, two years, more than 700 days, no wonder he didn't faint.She finally believed what she heard, and couldn't help smiling weakly at Walnut, but she didn't know where to start. Two years, have you not spoken for two years? "No no, those who have talked, talk in your sleep." Walnut smiled shyly, "You often talk in your sleep." Tianchi also laughed.Thankfully, otherwise I would lose my voice.She moved her limbs and tried to sit up.Walnut hurried over to help.During the days when she was asleep, Chen'er and Walnut had been massaging her so that her limbs would not be stiff.However, she tried to stand up with the support of walnuts, but still felt that her steps were not enough, as if her feet were no longer enough to support her body, as if she was not walking with her own feet, and as if she had forgotten what walking was all about. When she was sweating profusely from exhaustion and finally managed to stand alone with her hands on the window sill, she couldn't help laughing. Walnut also laughed: "You move around, I'll put the bath water in." Tianchi nodded, turned around, and looked out the window. It's spring.There is a wind, blowing in gently, the willow leaves are fresh, the cloves are misty, Tianchi takes a deep breath greedily, looking out, you can see the shadow of a sea in the distance, it is the sea of ​​stars, the mist is vast, and there are sailing boats vaguely.From far to near, it is the square of the exhibition center, the eaves of people's houses, the street, the cars on the street, the residential area facing the street, the garden of the residential area, the telephone pole, and the man under the telephone pole. Hey, that man, that man.Tianchi was slightly dazed, a thin man stood upright under the electric pole in the corridor of the community, as if he wanted to compare who was more persistent with the electric pole, motionless.I couldn't see his face clearly, but his figure was desolate, and even his back was so sad. Tianchi looked at him, feeling an inexplicable pain in his heart.Who is he?Do you know yourself?He looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.Tianchi found that he seemed unable to remember many things. The red light changed to green and the car started moving. Chen'er and Xu Feng were still arguing, they were driving on another road because of another topic, but they were still arguing.Three or four hours have passed since the bickering between this time and the one at noon. I have forgotten why I was arguing at noon, and I don’t even know why I am arguing now, but the quarrel is still going on, as if it has never stopped. From getting married to now, it has never stopped. Suddenly, both of them were tired and stopped talking together.After a while, it was Chen'er who spoke first, speaking very tiredly: "Xu Feng, let's get a divorce." Xu Feng looked straight ahead and didn't speak, as if he didn't hear.Or, it's because I've heard it too many times, but still don't know how to answer it. divorce?he thought blankly.I fell in love with Chen'er from the age of five, and pursued her for more than ten years. When she was the little princess in my dream, getting her was my dream since I was a child. Later, my dream came true, but I found that it was not the happiness I imagined.All the fairy tales are only told until the prince and princess get married, and the outline behind it is only one sentence "live happily ever after". As for the details, no one knows.But for princes and princesses in real life, marriage is just the beginning of the story, and happiness is just the cover of the novel. What about the plots inside, such as food, rice, oil, salt, and trivial matters, are these things that fairy tale writers don't know, or are they deliberately ignored? No, he doesn't want a divorce.He loves Chen'er.Even though the current love is far from pure and passionate as it was when he was a teenager, he still loves her. There is no doubt that he has never loved anyone other than her.She was beautiful, kind, intelligent, and independent, and if he divorced her, he couldn't find another one who was better than her, so why did he want to divorce?However, living like this, quarreling over and over again, and worrying endlessly, after all, what fun and happiness is there? Xu Feng was only silent. Ji Tianchi looked out the window. The shadows of the sea of ​​stars in the distance, sailing boats, the square of the convention center, the eaves of houses, the streets, the cars on the streets, the neighborhoods facing the streets, the gardens of the neighborhoods, the empty telephone poles—the man under the poles has disappeared. After taking a bath, Tianchi was refreshed, and finally had a real sense of returning from the soul.The water enveloped her so gently, so real, it made her feel safe, as if she had returned to a dream. In two years, I actually fell into a coma for more than 700 days, how did I get here?The body stays in the world, but the spirit enters the time tunnel. It's just a moment of fun, but when you look back, two years have passed, isn't it?What happened two years ago?How many things have you missed in two years? Doorbell rang.Walnut cheered: "Miss Lu is here." She ran to greet her, impatient to see the dramatic scene. Chen'er walked in with Xu Feng on her arm, saw Tianchi, because she didn't recognize it for a while, she greeted politely: "Are you here to see Sister Ji? You are interested." Tianchi turned around with his back against the window, he didn't know how to say hello, he just stared at Chen'er in a daze.After two years of "not seeing each other", Chen'er has matured and experienced vicissitudes. She is still so sweet and pretty, but there is a hint of trouble between her brows, as if she is overwhelmed.In the past, Chen'er's face was sunny and clear, like a clear sky with no clouds in the sky.Moreover, she was wearing a well-tailored and well-made business suit, which was also different from before. Before, Chen'er never liked to wear suits, and felt dull. Tianchi suddenly found that he seemed to remember more things about Chen'er than himself, and the details were detailed, leaving a deep impression on him. And Chen'er had already walked to the bed, and when she saw the empty bed, she was stunned.Xu Feng had already reacted first, looked at Tianchi and called tentatively: "Tianchi?" Tianchi woke up and nodded with a smile: "Xiaofeng, congratulations." "Ah——" Chen'er suddenly screamed earth-shatteringly, causing Tianchi and Xu Feng to stagger, but she had already rushed over to hug Tianchi, jumped and called: "Sister Ji? Are you Sister Ji? Sister Ji !" She hugged Tianchi tightly, as if she was afraid that she would fly away, hugged tightly, tears streaming down her face, "Sister Ji, you woke up, you finally woke up, Sister Ji, Sister Ji, you finally woke up, you Wake up..." Suddenly, he couldn't stand upright, and his body went limp.Xu Feng hurriedly hugged her, and dragged her onto the bed. Chen'er was crying and laughing, but she held on to Tianchi tightly and didn't let go.Tianchi had no choice but to sit down beside the bed, caressed her face with a smile, and persuaded softly: "I'm awake, I'm fine." For a moment, it seemed that she was a visitor and Chen'er became a patient. For two years, in Chen'er, there were more than 700 days and nights, thousands of prayers and tears, but for Tianchi, it was just a dream.It was difficult for her to adjust her channel to be the same as that of Chen'er, but she was also touched by her true feelings. "Chen'er, it's okay. I'm awake." She wanted to say more, but her speech was blocked, so she kept repeating the same sentence, "I'm awake, I'm okay." The wonderful thing is that Chen'er can only say this: "You woke up, you woke up, you woke up..." Seeing this touching scene, Xu Feng was also emotionally agitated, and kept blinking at the ceiling.He is a man, always embarrassed to cry in public, but he doesn't know how to express his happiness, suddenly remembered, rubbed his hands and said: "By the way, Cheng Zhifang, I'll call Lao Cheng and invite him to celebrate together. Cheng Zhifang has been waiting for this day." "Who is Cheng Zhifang?" Tianchi looked at Chen'er and asked slowly, "Walnut said, in the past six months, besides you, it is Dr. Cheng who cares most about me." "You don't remember Old Cheng?" Chen'er was surprised. "He is not only your doctor, but also your good friend. He is your psychiatrist, he is voluntary, free of charge, and he is a volunteer. He is also my brother's." What about your classmate, you don’t remember him?” Tianchi was deeply sorry: "I probably slept for too long, and I can't remember many things." "You, forgot?" Chen'er looked at her suspiciously, "Then, you, remember my brother?" "Your brother?" Tianchi was even more apologetic, "I'm sorry, do you have a brother?" "You even forgot my brother?" Chen'er stared blankly at Tianchi for a long while, then suddenly yelled loudly, "I see, you lost your memory!"
