Hidden Corners

The bat froze, hanging in midair.

Li Chengyi's eyes were stunned, looking at everything in front of him, he didn't know how to react for a while.

in front of him.

It's a wide, dark parking lot.

In the square and open field, there is no car, just like a closed long box, with only dim lights illuminating the ground.

The light is pale white, and there are two kinds.

One, on the right, is a long line, fastened to the black ceiling, extending into the gloom beyond.

The other is on the left side, which is about one meter long line segment lights, which are hung horizontally on the ceiling every ten meters, one after another, also extending into the darkness far away.

The black and somewhat reflective ground was slightly whitened by the light, and some vague white lines of the parking spaces could be seen.

'What the hell? Am I dreaming? ’ Li Chengyi gently put down the bat, and squeezed his thigh hard.

The severe pain quickly spread throughout his body, waking him up.

'It doesn't seem like a dream. ’ He reacted quickly.

Even time travel has appeared, and it seems normal to risk something.

Taking a deep breath, inhaling, and exhaling, his face calmed down a little.

Standing at the door, he paused.

'First make sure it's a dream. '

Picking up the bat, approaching it, almost sticking it to his face, he observed its texture carefully and closely.

The surface of the rod has subtle smooth rust spots, and the silver paint reflects the distant light.

There is also a scroll-like pattern engraved in the middle, and there is a line of small characters in the pattern: Life lies in hard blows.

Below the small print is the brand company: Bijia Sports. Below that is the same neat two-letter character that represents the company.

‘Dreams can’t be so clear and delicate! '

Li Chengyi's heart was trembling, and he gripped the non-slip handle of the bat tightly. The dense texture brought a rough feel, which made him reaffirmed that this was not a dream.

Generally, according to his experience, to judge whether it is a dream or not, you only need to observe the details to find the clues.

Details in dreams are often a blur.

And now.

He stood at the door, took a deep breath, looked at the parking lot outside, and didn't want to go out at all.

Subconsciously, he took a step back, wanting to retreat into the room and close the door.

‘Perhaps closing the door and opening it will restore normalcy. '

He thought to himself, but his back was pressed against a cold wall.

'! ! ! ’ Li Chengyi froze all over, and quickly turned his head to look.

The bedroom behind him unexpectedly turned into a gray-white wall at some point!

Room, gone! ?

His bedroom, gone! ?

Holding a bat and wearing the gray underwear he wore to sleep, he stood there in a daze, completely unresponsive to what happened.

The room is gone.

The door frame was gone too.

All that remained behind him was a stone wall identical to the others.

If it weren't for the bat he was carrying in his hand, he might have thought that he was hallucinating that he was sleeping in the room.

Stretching out his hand, Li Chengyi lightly touched the wall in front of him.

The hard and cold touch, as well as the rough texture, told him that the wall in front of him was real.

There are even some small damaged spots on the wall, which seem to have been hit by some hard object at a sharp angle, exposing another layer of gray-black material underneath.

'What exactly is going on! ? ! ! '

Li Chengyi was stunned.

He turned around again, looked toward the parking lot, and took a deep breath.

After hesitating, he paused for a while, the expression on his face gradually calmed down, and the expression in his eyes changed rapidly.

Not long after, he finally let out a long breath, and took a step forward.

call!

In an instant, the world spun, Li Chengyi's eyes blurred, and his consciousness fell into a blur for a moment.

He seemed to be floating up, spinning around.

Drip drip.

The piercing alarm bell vibrated in his ears.

Li Chengyi gradually regained his sight.

The parking lot in his eyes changed into the white ceiling of his room.

Pieces of square metal plates are pieced together, with white square frames and black lines. This is the simple ceiling pattern at home.

He sat on the bed blankly, and the phone on the bedside table vibrated slightly.

It's a set alarm clock.

The word 'Exercise' appeared on the light blue screen.

The time is 7:32.

Li Chengyi took a deep breath, feeling that his heart was still beating wildly.

The scene just now was so realistic that he still hasn't recovered from it.

Sitting on the bed and waiting for the blood flow to slow down, he slowly picked up the phone amidst the alarm.

The background of the mobile phone is a piece of dark blue sea water, and in the center are three young people wearing red life jackets, lying on their backs on a circular inflatable cushion.

The three of them put their hands behind their heads and laughed happily.

The golden sunshine, the gray inflatable cushion, the red life jacket, and the bright smiles of the three of them constitute a warm picture in the center of the deep blue sea.

Li Chengyi looked at the background photo on the screen, holding his mobile phone in the air, waiting for a while, only vague memories flooded his mind.

'Lin Sang, Chen Xudong. '

He remembered the names of the other two besides himself.

The girl's name is Lin Sang, and the sturdy boy's name is Chen Xudong.

This was taken by aerial photography when the three of them went together to the Bisha Islands on the other side of the blue ocean two years ago.

Putting down the phone, he looked at the shape of the phone.

It is a simple rectangular silver box, not much different from the mobile phone in the previous life.

It's all screen, no buttons.

Crash.

He put down his cell phone, lifted the quilt, stood up, walked to the window, put aside a few coats hanging by the window, and opened the window.

The cool air outside turned into a gust of wind and blew on his cheeks, and the aroma of fried eggs also penetrated into his nostrils.

The light outside the window is white, the height of the window is the fourth floor, and there are rows of cars of different colors parked below.

On the opposite side is another gray and white ten-story building. From here, you can see the families that are gradually moving in the windows between the floors.

Li Chengyi turned his head sideways and looked further into the sky.

In the blue sky, a hazy white cloud is like cotton wool, sometimes covering the sun, sometimes leaking a little gold.

He collected himself, turned around and walked to the table, and took out a clean mirror from the drawer.

Look at yourself in the mirror.

Reflected in the mirror is an ordinary, dark-eyed young man with pale yellow skin.

The eyebrows are slightly thinner, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, and they seem to be smiling at any time. Other than that, there are no memorable features.

The nose is neither high nor short, the mouth is neither wide nor narrow, nor thick nor thin.

He was in his twenties, and his eyes were curious and surprised.

‘It seems that there is no difference from the previous life? '

This thought flashed through Li Chengyi's mind.

According to his previous habits, he should put on his clothes and go out to exercise now.

Although the memory is fuzzy, many things are remembered.

Opening the closet, he quickly flipped through a set of gray sportswear and put it on, then opened the door and went out into the living room.

The living room was empty, and the previous parents and sister were gone. There are also a few pairs of shoes missing in the shoe cabinet at the door.

On the gray and white rectangular stone table was a box of dusty jelly-like things.

Li Chengyi approached and picked it up to have a look,

There is a line of words printed on the outside of the box: Tremella mung bean porridge - Guding brand.

After hesitating for a while, he still tore off the lid of the box and raised his head to drink.

The taste is sweet, no different from what I ate in my previous life.

Quickly finish off breakfast, change your shoes, and pack your sports fanny pack.

Li Chengyi carefully reviewed his vague memory, took the key of the mobile phone, opened the door and walked out of the house.

In the empty and cold stairwell, the silver elevator was running faster than he had imagined.

Almost pressing the button, counting to four seconds in my heart, I reached the first floor.

Leaving the stairwell and walking out of the opening of the building, his feet stepped on the gray ground outside for the first time, feeling the hard and real touch, and Li Chengyi felt at ease suddenly.

Standing at the entrance of the building, he felt the warm wind blowing on his body. The wind carried the fragrance of flowers and breakfast, and an indescribable sense of freshness flooded his heart.

Jingle Bell.

Suddenly, a bell sounded from the entrance of the opposite building.

A gray-haired old man was helping his granddaughter to sit on the back seat of the bicycle. He took two steps and three steps, rushed forward, turned over on the bike, and drove his granddaughter to school with a calm demeanor.

The little girl who was less than ten years old was carrying a schoolbag, yawning, there were still some wet tears in the corners of her eyes, and there were still fingerprints on the side of her little face.

While moving his ankles, Li Chengyi watched the little girl and the old man drift away.

He jumped twice, followed the direction of the bicycle, and trotted to catch up.

Over there is the direction of leaving the community, and the location of daily exercise is in a small park on the side of this named Xingfu community.

On the road inside the community, a car drove by from the side, all of them were people going out to work.

The leaves and branches above the head fluttered with the wind, and little yellowish debris kept floating out, which seemed to be some kind of petals, or fluff on the leaves.

Li Chengyi ran out of the community along the road, paused in front of a large stone with the red letter "Happy Community" engraved on the right side of the door, and then continued to run towards the right side of the community.

Fresh air, moderate temperature, bright light, clean streets.

There are people coming and going who are busy going to work and sending their children to school, as well as people who get up early to exercise.

All the sense of reality made Li Chengyi's unsteady mood slowly settle down.

He ran to the entrance of the small park in one breath, stopped at the edge of a circular open space, and waited.

The ones exercising with his predecessor were the other two in the background photo of his phone: Lin Sang and Chen Xudong.

Seven days a week, five days, they will come here for morning exercise together.

Li Chengyi was looking forward to it, but also a little apprehensive. Everything in this world was new to him.

The previous interpersonal relationship, the past, was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

While thinking about how to deal with the other two friends, the uneasiness brought about by last night's weird experience gradually faded from his mind.

He had a vague sense of trance, as if this was his real self, and the previous life in his memory was just an extremely real dream.

But that feeling was quickly forgotten.

Because, there was already a person trotting towards him on the right.

"Xiaoyi!" The man called out from a distance, his running movements were standard.

This person is tall and big, at least 1.9 meters tall, with a cut-cut head, muscular swelling, and a big build. He wears black short-sleeved sleeves and gray and white sweatpants. There is a big red mole on the left side of the brow with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is his predecessor. Li Chengyi's friend and classmate Chen Xudong.
