× Imagine 207 × Changing It Upside Down
——Dreams will reveal the most untouchable memory and hidden prying in everyone's heart, break it
Reality or dream, which one would you choose to believe?
Everything around began to turn upside down, and the sound of pattering rain and the smell of alcohol gradually unfolded in the black curtain.
The child curled up on the doorstep had a pair of deep black eyes, and there were bruises on his bare arms.
Adults with children in their arms hurried past under umbrellas, and the abandoned dolls lay in puddles of stagnant water.
The child who was stepping on the puddle ran up, and when he bent over to pick it up, he saw a pair of shiny leather shoes in front of him.
The cold raindrops hit his face, numb and painful.
The hand that touched the doll was hastily withdrawn, and the whole person stepped back several steps.
The man holding the black umbrella bent down to pick up the wet doll on the ground, his white fingers looked strangely dazzling in the chilling black.
The uneasy gaze and the shiny black eyes watched the man's movements, as if he was about to run away in fear the next moment.
The doll that had been wiped clean was handed over.
The child raised his face, stretched out his hand to grab it timidly, and then hugged him tightly, as if he was afraid of being snatched away.
The man holding the black umbrella walked into the deeper darkness, and the sound of the pattering rain seemed to never stop...
Sombre black.
The boy sitting on the school steps was holding the torn schoolbag with a dazed expression on his face.
The sound of reading aloud in the classroom can be heard next to his ears, and everyone's love and eyes don't belong to him.
Holding the schoolbag tightly in his hands, he buried his head between his legs in aggrieved manner, but the tears swirling in his eyes stubbornly refused to fall.
The clatter of leather shoes on the steps came from the stairs, and it stopped in front of him.
The child raised his head and looked at the man in a black suit with red eyes.
The man held a child of the same age as him, and the child looked down at him, "Crybaby!"
"I didn't cry!"
Warm tears flowed down at this moment, and what responded to him was the mocking eyes of the other party.
The man didn't say a word, he lifted his feet and walked upstairs, but the pack of tissues he left behind fell on the steps...
In a dark alley.
There were shouts and fights.The person who gradually shrunk in the rain of fists clenched his mouth full of blood.
No one came out to stop all this. When the wounded man walked out of the dark alley clutching his bleeding arm, he saw a man and a woman talking across the road.
The man is still dressed in black, but the girl is dressed in plain white.
The man who felt the gaze on his body raised his head, and only had time to see the back of the man who lowered his head, picked up his schoolbag and left.
Unaware of the distraction of the man in front of her, the girl smiled like a spring flower, "My name is Li Wanwan, you can just call me Wanwan."
The girl who had escaped from the original plot tore her clothes to pieces in the siege of the hooligans, and the boy with his schoolbag in one hand just stood far away at the other end of the dark alley, glanced indifferently before walking away.
A story without a beginning has come to an end.
When they met for the fourth time, a boy with long hair covering his eyes stepped forward, "My name is Zhou Xiao, what's your name?"
no respond.
The man still dressed in black just looked at him quietly for a while, then turned his head and left.
The father who died of alcoholism left only a pile of debts owed, Zhou Xiao had no choice but to drop out of school, sell the house to pay off the debts, and hang out with hooligans on the street.
Zhou Xiao was famous for fighting, and then his leg was chopped off during a fight, and those cronies and friends who followed him dispersed overnight, and he was really desperate.
The wound on the leg had already festered, and the whole person could only lie on the stone steps, looking up at the sky covered by dark clouds.
No one knew what he was thinking at that time.
The noisy teenager rushed out of a car, stepped on the stone steps beside Zhou Xiao with snow-white sneakers, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.
But a person walked up to Zhou Xiao's side and sat down slowly.
Zhou Xiao felt that this man must not know him anymore.
"Why are you so downcast every time I see you?"
Eyes widened in an instant.
The stern man took off the glasses in front of him, his usually indifferent brows and eyes softened due to fatigue.
"You asked me what my name was last time." The man turned to look at him, "My name is Su Yu."
Zhou Xiao, who was lying on the stone steps, was a little dazed.
Su Yu gave Zhou Xiao a decent job, and also advanced his salary so that Zhou Xiao's leg could have the best treatment.
It should be the best ending when everything goes here, but time is still moving forward.
Zhou Xiao in the mirror showed a weird smile.
——Not enough.
It is far from enough to act as the one receiving the gift all the time.
What Zhou Xiao wants most now is...
The company's accounts were manipulated passively, and a large amount of liquidity was withdrawn.When the police arrested him, Zhou Xiao only took one look at Su Yu.
"Why?" Su Yu looked complicated.
"Because I want a lot of money."
According to the amount involved, Zhou Xiao had already reached the point where he could be sentenced to death. Su Yu bailed him out, but in the end he was only sentenced to a few years in prison.
On the day when the result came out, Zhou Xiao, who was handcuffed by the police on the dock, raised his head and glanced at Su Yu.
Su Yu got up to leave the table, but Zhou Xiao suddenly stopped him.
"Su Yu." Zhou Xiao showed a rare smile, "I have something to tell you."
Su Yu walked up to him.
Zhou Xiao lowered his voice, his eyes were unfathomable, "You will regret it."
……
Zhou Xiao, who was sitting on the chair, woke up suddenly, looking at Su Yu who was holding his hands tightly in cold sweat, his face was pale.
He hurriedly shook off Su Yu's hand, stood up abruptly and brought the chair down.
He had a very absurd dream.
Ridiculously chilling down the spine.
He clearly knew that it was just a dream, but those scenes seemed to have happened in real life.
Zhou Xiao stretched out his two hands and rubbed his still convulsed facial muscles, breathing quickly.
It was just a dream...
How could he know this man!
Su Yu was lying on the hospital bed, but Zhou Xiao didn't dare to take another look.
Trembling, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth.
The choking smell of smoke filled the room.
A nurse opened the door and came in. Seeing Zhou Xiao who was smoking, he just lowered his head and pretended not to see him. He walked up to Su Yu and pushed his arm with his hand.
"Hello!" Zhou Xiao was taken aback when he saw the nurse's actions. Su Yu was already in a vegetable state, why...
Su Yu slowly opened his eyes.
Zhou Xiao was stunned.
As soon as Su Yu opened his eyes, he seemed to go crazy, grabbed something on the table and threw it at the two people who were approaching, "Get lost—"
Zhou Xiao, who was hit by the glass on the waist, looked at Su Yu who looked like this, but forgot to react, and only reacted when he heard the loud sound of the glass falling to the ground.
Doctors in white clothes rushed in and suppressed Su Yu who was kicking.
Just now the nurse came to Zhou Xiao's side, "I'm sorry Mr. Zhou, the patient's spirit may have been damaged, and your staying here may irritate him even more... Please go out for a while."
Zhou Xiao was in a daze, but he didn't refuse when he heard the nurse's words, and walked out with the door behind him.
Standing at the door in a daze for a while, a doctor walked up to him, "Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Xiao, who had never been called this before, narrowed his eyes, "What's the matter?"
"You also know about Mr. Su's body. Between men and men, you should be more restrained..."
Zhou Xiao's gaze was like a knife, "What nonsense are you talking about? He didn't fall from upstairs..."
The doctor interrupted him, "Mr. Su was forced by you to jump off the upstairs, because it was only on the second floor, so he only sprained his leg, but if there is another time..."
Zhou Xiao tugged at his collar irritably, "What are you talking about?"
The doctor chattered again, but Zhou Xiao didn't understand a word, he just felt his mind was in a mess.
Fragments of memory popped up out of nowhere.
After being released from prison, Su Yu was kicked out by Shen Tang... He was forced by himself when he had nowhere to go...
Zhou Xiao's expression became more and more strange, he pulled his hair, sorting out the memories that came out of his head with some scalp numbness.
Obviously not like this!
"Mr. Zhou, are you listening?"
Zhou Xiao suddenly pushed him to the ground, kicked open the door and walked in.
Su Yu and Xu Yao fell together...
But at this moment Su Yu was sitting on the bed, looking at him with eyes mixed with disgust and fear.
Zhou Xiao only felt that his head was getting more and more confused.
Those sudden memories made the things he knew originally confused.
"Su Yu!" Zhou Xiao grabbed Su Yu's arm.
Su Yu who was sitting on the bed suddenly screamed, knocked Zhou Xiao's hand off with a wave, and shrank towards the corner of the bed.
Zhou Xiao was stunned for a moment.
This person obviously doesn't know him, so why are you so afraid of him?
"What's going on?" Seeing Su Yu's expression, Zhou Xiao hesitated.
The things he believed so firmly just now are shaken at this moment...
"Get out of here!"
In the end... what is real?
Zhou Xiao left the ward in a daze, and saw Xu Yao who was supposed to be dead on the stairs! But Xu Yao walked past him as if he didn't see him. "Xu Yao!" Zhou Xiao's face became paler. Xu Yao turned his head, and then showed a very shallow smile, "Zhou Xiao." "You..." Before Zhou Xiao could ask, someone beside Xu Yao urged, "Boss, Mr. He is waiting for you inside." "We'll talk when we have time." Xu Yao said so, turned around and left. Zhou Xiao stood on the stairway, feeling cold. In Mixie Prison, the warden who used to be vicious in the past seemed very amiable at the moment, leading Zhou Xiao into the prison where he used to stay. Zhou Xiao looked at the empty cell, "Where's the man named Zhao Yu inside?" The warden looked at him inexplicably, "No one else has lived here since the three of you left." "Shen Tang, Xu Yao?" "That's right, didn't the three of you go out together?" said the warden. The broken dreams gradually connected, gradually making the original clear memory pale. Zhou Xiao said, "Without Zhao Yu?" "No, there is no such person named Zhao Yu in the prison." Zhou Xiao walked into the cell, and the black notebook lay quietly on the starched and whitish bed. Reaching out to pick it up, he turned to the first page. ——Su Yu. The second page. ——Su Yu. …… The voice of flipping through silently made the warden a little puzzled, "What?" "It's nothing." Zhou Xiao's hands were shaking. In front of the warden, the young man in front of him suddenly showed an indescribable smile. "It turns out that this is a dream." …… It was quiet in the ward, and Zhou Xiao, who was lying on Su Yu's body, breathed a little bit more slowly, his frowning brows also relaxed, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly. Su Yu, who had withdrawn from the dream, looked at Zhou Xiao who was still asleep, a little surprised, "What's wrong with him?" "Dream in a dream?" "What?" The door of the ward was pushed open, and the nurse who came in on time to inject nutrition injections for Su Yu saw Zhou Xiao lying beside Su Yu, and pushed him with her hand, "Sir?" Zhou Xiao, who was sitting on the chair, fell over. The nurse's face turned pale with fright, and the sound of panicked footsteps sounded... In the real dream, Zhou Xiao slowly injected the tranquilizer in his hand into Su Yu's arm, hugging Su Yu who was gradually falling asleep, and whispered in his ear with a smile. "I had a dream, in the dream..."
