Rong Zhi picked up a small metal lighter from the coffee table, and with a soft flint sound, the small yellow flames sprang up.He carried a book in one hand and a lighter in the other, and said lightly: it's very simple, burn it, you are in this world, you will not exist, and, irreversibly, never come back.In an instant, Shang Heng's eyes widened and he held his breath!
I see, he has this book in his hands, and he can burn it at any time, no wonder he has no fear!
Shang Heng's eyes were dark for a while, and he forced himself to settle down, holding his book tightly in his hand, his eyes wandering.Rong Zhi revealed more information than he said.If he burns another book, he will go back, then in other words, is it true that if he burns this book in his hand, he will stay in the current world forever?
Are you looking for a lighter?
Rong Zhi shook his head, no need to look for it, there is no one here.So, my guess is correct, this book can also be burned?
Shang Heng's gaze paused, but the countenance in his vision became more and more blurred.Rong Zhi said lightly: If you want to know the secret of the book, you always have to pay a price.No matter how careful you are, you're bound to look at it.Shang Heng held the bookshelf with one hand, and the other hand was already weak and almost unable to hold the book, his ears were full of noisy buzzing, and his brain consciousness gradually became chaotic, he obviously didn't drink the coffee handed by Rong Zhi The book clicked, and the book with the white cover fell on the carpet.Chapter 79 The next day of the Golden House was a sunny day.Wen Ruiyun woke up on time as usual, under the urging of the biological clock, dressed, washed, dined, and browsed the news and the stock market.After everything is stopped, I get into the car, take advantage of the one-hour journey to the company, and have a short video meeting with the department executives to sort out the issues to be solved today and the ideas of the meeting.During the break in the middle of the meeting, Wen Ruiyun lowered his head and drank tea, fiddling with his mobile phone absentmindedly, today is the day when Shang Heng comes back.As the weather warmed up, he didn't have to wear those heavy coats, so he specially picked out a light and slim dark blue suit, and the buttons at the neckline were meticulously fastened to the top.Every strand of hair is carefully groomed, and the tie knot is positioned just right, so flat that there is no wrinkle.Every detail of the whole body is meticulous and solemn.The waiting time was too difficult, and when the meeting ended at noon, Wen Ruiyun couldn't help but send a message to Shang Heng, asking about the time of the plane.I don't know if he didn't see it or if he was already on the plane, but he never heard back.Until the end of a busy day's work, Wen Ruiyun called Shang Heng according to the usual time to call, and there was a prompt sound from the receiver that the other party had turned off.It seems to be on the plane.Wen Ruiyun looked down at the text message chat record on the mobile phone screen, his thumb slid slightly, and he was a little strange in anticipation, if Shang Heng saw his message before getting on the plane, he should have replied to him.Or did he deliberately not tell himself the time, maybe he was preparing to kill him by surprise?
Wen Ruiyun took out the square blue velvet gift box from the drawer, opened the lid, and saw a pair of platinum and diamond rings in the middle, with a simple style and luxurious texture.Split in half along the diamond's central axis, they fit perfectly together and become two identical wedding bands when separated.Wen Ranran gave him countless fashionable marriage proposals, all of which were ruthlessly vetoed by Wen Ruiyun, a picky Party A.In the end, he decided to use the most traditional way to get the certificate directly.Secretary Wu has already arranged all the preparations for the wedding banquet for him, and now Shang Heng, the protagonist, is ready.Wen Ruiyun put down the ring, got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, where the upper floors of the Twin Towers offered an unobstructed view of the city immersed in the sunset.He looked at the sky with a deep and shallow rouge color, and wondered if Shang Heng at this time was also enjoying the same sunset as him?
※※※At the same time, far away from the other side of the city, the Jinlingyuan villa area, bathed in the same glow, is still as orderly as usual.Shang Heng woke up in a state of dizziness.He seemed to have slept for a long time, so long that he almost forgot what it was, this long sleep, halfway he woke up vaguely, and fell into a deep sleep, with hazy light and shadow swaying in front of him, and the sound of footsteps walking around, far away in the sky, ethereal like fog.As consciousness gradually returns, everything around me seems so unreal.His vision went from blurry to clear, the first thing that caught his eye was the warm golden wall, the soft bed beneath him, he frowned and looked around to the left and right, his fingers running over the silky satin quilt.It was a completely enclosed bedroom, with smooth walls on all sides, a spacious room, a snow-white carpet on the floor, everything he was used to, and a TV monitor embedded in the middle of the wall facing the bed.The edges of the tables, chairs, and cabinets are all rounded and unangular, and there is an open door inside that houses the bathroom.Shang Heng sat up from the bed, still feeling weak, and the moment his wrist was raised, there was a tinkling metal sound.He looked down and saw that there was a metal ring on his right wrist, which fit the inside of the skin, and was intimately stuffed with soft and breathable cotton, and the bracelet was connected to a metal chain two fingers wide, and the other end was locked in the wall at the head of the bed.I don't know what material, the texture is light but tough, and it is absolutely impossible to cut without special tools.The length of this chain was two or three meters long, and Shang Heng got out of bed and leaned against the wall to try to move around, without much obstacle in the room, and the distance to the bathroom was enough.It shows how much thought Rong Zhi has put into creating such a golden house.Are you awake?
With a warm voice behind him, Shang Heng immediately turned around.I saw that the other wall slid open to both sides like an elevator door, and when Rong Zhi entered the room, he immediately closed it, and the crack in the door was almost invisible to the naked eye if he didn't look carefully.Shang Heng raised his eyes and looked around, there must be surveillance somewhere in this room, otherwise Rong Zhi would never have delivered the food so appropriately.Rong Zhi pushes a small food cart to stop at the table, serving carefully prepared food to the table.The tableware is made of edible biscuit tableware, Shang Heng took it in his hand and checked it, it is no problem to use it for eating, but it will break if it is a little force, even if it is a fork, it is not lethal.Rong Zhi caught a glimpse of his movements and smiled slightly: Hungry, you haven't eaten for a day, hurry up and pad your stomach.As he spoke, he served soup for Shang Heng, and arranged the vegetables slowly and methodically, from his back to his movements, he was as demure and gentle as an understanding wife.If it weren't for the fact that the time and place were wrong, and the memory was not missing at all, Shang Heng would have applauded such a ridiculous scene.Shang Heng looked at him fixedly, sneered, and mocked: Do I still need to eat the food you cooked?
Who knows what's in it?
Rong Zhi smiled back calmly: Don't worry, it's just an ordinary meal, I'll eat with you.He served himself the same and ate two bites in front of Shang Heng.Shang Heng still didn't move his chopsticks, and shook the chain on his wrist: This is how you treat your friends and old classmates?
Locked in a dungeon where the light finally disappears?
Rong Zhi silently put down the dishes and chopsticks, bent his finger bones, and tapped twice on the wall.The four walls of the room were lit up with a faint light, and in the blink of an eye, the originally ordinary warm gold walls showed the image of outdoor daylight and greenery.With two more light buttons, the picture changes again, this time with the scenery of the seaside beach.Surprised for only a moment, Shang Heng was almost amused by his ear-covering and stealing bell: Do you think that if you do this, this room will not be a prison cell?
Fun in self-deception?
No matter how clear and realistic the picture is, the fake is still fake!
Rong Zhi turned off the projection and looked at him intently: I will not let you leave me, and the design of such walls is to make your life as comfortable as possible and less boring.Shang Heng didn't say a word, he accumulated strength for a long time, raised his foot and kicked the wall, a heavy muffled sound, the back of the wall is solid, I am afraid that this is a safe house under the villa, and it can even defend against earthquakes and air raids.After this kick, Shang Heng shook his strength and sat on the carpet with his back against the edge of the bed, his chest rising and falling slightly, and his hands and feet were numb.The chains on his wrists began to shrink into the wall, gradually shortening in length, until they were reduced to only half a meter, and he had to stay against the head of the bed, unable to go anywhere.Rong Zhi looked at him with some distress: You still have muscle relaxation drugs on your body, don't move anymore.Shang Heng half-closed his eyes and looked at him mockingly: This is what you want?
I'll never like you, but if you dare to take even half a step close to me, even if you don't want your arm, I'll break your neck with this chain, and even then, will you be happy?
The heart was like being stung by a scorpion, and a dense dull pain surged to the limbs, and Rong Zhi's eyes darkened slightly, and he became firm for a moment: Yes, I don't care who you like in your heart, as long as you stay by my side, I will be satisfied.Shang Heng narrowed his eyes and did not speak.Rong Zhi brought the meal to the bedside: eat a little more, it will be very uncomfortable to get a nutritional injection.Shang Heng took two breaths lightly, not to mention standing up, it was difficult to move his fingers: How much enmity do I have with you?
Rong Zhi shook his head: How so?
He stretched out his hand to touch the other party's cheek, but paused in mid-air under Shang Heng's sharp gaze, and finally stiffly withdrew it.He slowly stirred the hot soup with a spoon and said: In your eyes, I am just a passerby with no sense of existence, but in my eyes, you are the object I most longed for and longed for when I was young.Shang Heng closed his eyes and simply didn't look at him.Rong Zhi looked down at the pattern outlined by the carpet, his eyes were empty, and his tone was as ethereal as a memory: When I was a child, because of my body and appearance, I was often bullied and even blackmailed by my classmates, once I couldn't get the money, to say the least, I was punched and kicked I also tried to call for help, and ran home to cry to my mother, but it was useless, my mother was also a cowardly person, she would only scold me for embarrassing her, once I got to the teacher, a few words of play between classmates could be dismissed, and what was waiting for me was the bullying that intensified gradually, I stopped asking for help.I still remember one time, they knocked over my lunch, dirty sneakers stepped on the food, told me to eat, they said I only deserved to eat dirty food, I was beaten to the ground, my face was trampled on the soles of my shoes, I was overwhelmed by the sad memory, but Rong Zhi was smiling, and there was a gentle light on his face: you suddenly appeared, jumped out of the garden wall, and kicked people to the ground with one kick.At that time, Rong Zhi in the mud desperately looked up, and he saw Shang Heng's silhouette in the sunlight, like a person in a dry well, desperately trying to catch a beam of light cast from the well.But no matter how hard you try, it's all in vain.Shang Heng frowned, it seemed that there was such a thing, but it was just a small thing that he had run rampant on campus in middle school, and he couldn't count the trivial things he did casually.Rong Zhi sighed: Actually, I know that you didn't come to save me.Just because, those guys are right in your way.Shang Heng: In that case, you don't have to keep it in mind all the time.Rong Zhi smiled: Actually, what I'm really happy about is not that you saved me.At that time, after you had driven those fellows away, my lunch was spilled all over the floor, and when you saw that I was so aggrieved that you cried, you actually picked up a rice ball from the ground, stripped off the muddy part, put it in your mouth and took a bite.I froze all of a sudden, I forgot the pain of the wounds on my body, how can you eat such dirty things?
Unexpectedly, you asked me if I made my own lunch, and it was delicious.Shang Heng didn't speak in silence, Rong Zhi almost burst into tears of laughter: In this world, no one has ever praised me, whether it is my family or school, I always seem to be the most redundant one.And you, how can you be so good?
I don't feel sad when I look at you.I was afraid that they would come back, so I tugged at the corner of your coat and hoped that you would not leave, but you were reluctant, but you agreed to stay with me for lunch.From then on, I thought, if I could be like you, as confident, flamboyant, powerful, and handsome as you, would my world be different?
But at that time, I was not worthy of you at all, I didn't have any of these things, I only had low self-esteem, timidity, weakness and ugliness.I only dare to look at you from afar, like a transparent shadow.Shang Heng looked at him movingly, his lips moving: What's the matter with the book?
Did you write the books of this world too?
Chapter 80 The three-foot basement isolated the sound of the outside world, so quiet that only the breathing of the two could be heard.Rong Zhi shook his head: In the old world, I didn't dare to get too close to you, I just watched from afar, wrote your book with a longing for you, and chatted about comfort, until one day, I accidentally found a book with the same name and surname as you in a used bookstore.When reading that book, in the dark, I felt a strong resonance and desire, if I am also like the Rongzhi in the book, with a wealthy family, a beautiful face, an empathetic character, maybe, I can change the original trajectory of fate, really standing by your side I also know that such an idea is unrealistic, I saw half, use your photo as a bookmark in the book, but I didn't expect at all, when I woke up, my dream came true, and it really became the Rongzhi in the book!
And the book I wrote about you myself is in the bookcase in my study.became an ordinary novel in this world.Shang Heng opened his mouth, the amount of information was too huge, he was speechless for a while.I guess I was probably the first to come to the world of books, and I made sure I wasn't dreaming and immediately went looking for the book, but it was so unknown that I couldn't find it.Later, it didn't take long for you to come, Gu Rin, Lin Yuqing came, when I first saw you, I couldn't believe it was really you, but your every move was too similar, I tried many times before I finally confirmed that you are really here!
Now that I met you, I didn't have to find the book, and for a long time I almost forgot about it.It wasn't until a while ago that I accidentally found it in a real estate agent's information, in a second-hand bookstore of the same name that was on the verge of closing, selling stores.Shang Heng tried his best to recall the scene when he accidentally read this book, time has passed, and most of his memories are blurred, and the only impression is that he regrets that the protagonist has good resources and has to be a canary.He vaguely remembered that Lin Yuqing and Gu Rin both mentioned their past, without exception, they had regrets in real life, and they resonated with the characters of the same name in the book.Lin Yuqing is an actor who is depressed and depressed, with empty acting skills and hard work, but no backers and opportunities; And Gu Rin was obsessed with his origin as an illegitimate child, and after wearing the book, they all got what they wanted.In this way, the book with the black cover in Rong Zhi's hand is the key connecting the two worlds.Shang Heng raised his eyes to look at him, and suddenly laughed twice in a low voice, his voice was hoarse with tiredness: Actually, you are scaring me, you don't dare to burn this book at all.Rong Zhi's fingers stirring the soup spoon paused slightly, put down the bowl, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked at him intently.Shang Heng: Since the four of us are here because of this book, if you burn it, not only will I disappear, but you, Gu Rin, and Lin Yuqing will also disappear from here.Seeing that Rong Zhi was silent, he knew that he had guessed correctly: for you, everything now is not easy to come by, once you leave here and return to the former world, you will immediately be beaten back to your original form, wealth, identity, status, and even your appearance will be gone.
