The soft female voice coming from the other side of the phone stunned Hao Qing.
"ah?"
"Have you finished your meal? You won't be eating instant noodles all day, right?"
"I'm done eating. Of course I'm not eating instant noodles. Really, it's just preserved egg and lean meat porridge!"
After saying this, Hao Qing strangely patted his forehead with his free hand.
Strange, why did he say this?
Also, who is on the opposite side? It’s not really his mother, is it?
Inexplicably, a memory emerged in my mind. It was a mother who liked to nag her children about their daily habits, but the son who was preached to was going in one ear and out the other... but it was like him.
"What's going on..."
Familiar, yet strange.
Hao Qing felt a slight pain in his head and couldn't help but reach out to cover it.
"Really...so how are you today? Has the weather gotten colder? Have you changed some of your clothes?"
However, the conversation continues.
"...Everything is fine. The weather is not a problem. I now wear three layers of base layer and change my clothes every two days."
Enduring the pain, Hao Qing tried hard to maintain a calm tone of voice, but couldn't help but lower his body, as if this would alleviate the pain.
"Really? You can post a selfie later and let me see what you are wearing."
However, the other party was not easily "fooled" by his son, and immediately used a selfie to prove it.
"That's...okay."
Originally, Hao Qing wanted to refuse, but the headache was still there, and something strange would definitely be discovered over time. Hao Qing didn't want her to worry.
"So, have you received the bread I sent?"
"Don't worry, I got it all."
"Okay, let's stop here this time. Son, take care of yourself."
She seemed to have noticed something, but she didn't go into it further. Instead, she followed her son's wishes and hung up the phone.
After all, he is no longer a child.
"hiss……"
After hanging up the phone, Hao Qing stood up, went to the bathroom, and flushed his face with cold water.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but after washing his face, he felt much better.
but……
"I……"
Looking at his blurry self in the mirror, Hao Qing tightened his fingers on the pool. Under his eyes, blue light began to flash. The blurry self in the mirror also began to change, but it didn't take long for him to change back on his own.
Hao Qing seemed to have lost all strength and almost fell to the ground.
It seems like he can no longer use the strength he once had.
And since that memory flashed through, he even began to forget a little about how he looked before.
Because here, Hao Qing is a normal person.
An ordinary college student with parents who love him.
Being awakened and figured out does not mean that we no longer desire, it is more like a kind of self-protection. In order not to continue to make the wound bigger, we smile lightly at the unchangeable past, turn around and continue to move forward.
That's enough.
No one doesn't want their wishes to come true and become their ideal self.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Hao Qing smiled bitterly.
Although he didn't know who made this happen, he knew that he longed for such a world in his heart.
But is this... really good?
Even though he still longs for it, he still has worries in his heart.
What makes this place like this?
He stretched out his hand and scratched his head, feeling that he had forgotten something important.
There also seems to be some problems with his memory. The self who has awakened his abilities but is alone, and the ordinary self who has a healthy family... the memories of the two worlds are intertwined, blurring a lot of things.
Before his mother called, he didn't even know who she was and thought everything was the same as before.
Hao Qing took out his phone and prepared to unlock the screen skillfully, but his attention was attracted by the wallpaper on it.
It was a group photo of three people, and these people... he knew them all.
The person standing in the middle, who wanted to be as low-key as possible, but inadvertently made his eyes very fierce and had a solemn look on his face, was himself.
Standing on his left is a young man wearing an all-black school uniform. He looks very delicate, but he seems a little helpless at the posture of the old man around him. Although he is not forcing a smile, the smile on his face is
It also became a bit embarrassing.
On his right was a petite girl wearing a dark green sailor uniform. Although her height and figure were a little awkward, in front of her long, soft black hair and beautiful face, these became
She is cute. Obviously, she is more eye-catching than the two people beside her, which is enough to make people forget the negative effects of the old man who ruined the atmosphere.
Her gaze was cast vaguely on the young man on the left side of Hao Qing, and the smile on his face seemed to be caused by this.
"Is this a p-picture? Why should I be this light bulb?"
Seeing Hao Qing here, he felt that he was superfluous. With this bad impression, he blurted out complaints.
Yes, he recognized it. Taking a photo with him next to him were the male and female protagonists of "Sakugan no Shana", Yuji Sakai and Shana.
From the perspective of film and television picture analysis, in the current situation, these two are the main subjects, but he, the foil, occupies the position on the golden ratio dividing line. Then, he behaves in an extremely destructive manner, as if he is going to kill someone.
...Well, why didn’t I feel this embarrassed before?
Just as he was complaining about himself crazily in his heart, the vague memory became clear...
Because of his parents, he was even more stressed during the college entrance examination. His mobile phone and novels were also confiscated. He could only take a breather on his days off.
Although because of this, he achieved better results in the college entrance examination, went to a better university, and had better roommates, but maybe it was because the college entrance examination was too stressful. After entering college, he just let himself go. During the summer vacation
When I was a child, I booked a flight ticket to travel abroad on my own, but my parents still discovered it when I was applying for a certificate.
Hao Qing's parents naturally disagreed with Hao Qing's behavior of coming and going on a whim. In their opinion, it was obvious that their son had gone to his head for a while. After he calmed down, he would naturally understand the outside environment.
If it is difficult, you will give up this three-minute hot behavior.
But everyone has a rebellious mentality. The more you say no, the more I will do it. After being stopped by his parents, Hao Qing became stubborn. His father wanted to make Hao Qing give in by asking everyone to go together, but Hao Qing
Even if you insist on going alone, even if you clearly explain the pros and cons, you will still be the same and unwavering.
Seeing that her son was serious, knowing that there were tigers in the mountains, and wholeheartedly pursuing them, his mother's attitude softened, and at the same time she also had a vengeful mentality.
If you don't listen to what you say, then I'll let you hit a nail, and if you hit your head and bleed, you'll feel the pain and you'll come back naturally.
Even so, Hao Qing's parents prepared his luggage, and then Hao Qing set off alone, with a very clear goal, which was a country on the island.
Of course, he was mainly interested in the two-dimensional culture over there. As for socializing with people... he didn't even think about it, he just had fun.
Facts have proved...he still thought too simply.
Even though he had mastered the language to communicate with the locals, he was unfamiliar with the place. Although he had the help of map navigation, Hao Qing still made himself very embarrassed there. He even almost got hit by a car on the road because of the navigation while walking and looking at his mobile phone.
Hit.
Later, Hao Qing simply stopped and didn't look at the road, just wandering around... It was very magical, and he wandered into Misaki City.
I don't know why, in this world, there is no novel "Shakugan no Shana", but Misaki City, which is supposed to be a fictional city, has become a reality here.
