Garden of Time and Space

Chapter 171 The Third Time and Space 17
Xie Jiao: "You and that girl, you chatted at the school gate for so long, the driver said that you were late than usual today! And you still smiled at her."

Zeng Li leaned on one side of his face, looked at Xie Jiao, couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, but he just looked at her, but never answered her.

Xie Jiao was a little anxious after waiting, and urged him, "Speak up."

This time, Zeng Li finally opened his mouth, and he said lazily, "She likes me."

Seeing him proudly mentioning that other girls like him, Xie Jiao's mind came back to Zhang Ziqian's words, so many girls in the school like him!
"You just smile at her when she likes you? There are so many girls who like you, do you have to smile at them all, and accept everyone's love letters? Why were you like this in high school?"

This time, seeing that Xie Jiao was really angry, Zeng Li didn't dare to tease her any more. Instead, he put away the cynical smile, recovered his stern expression, and let go. Holding the hand on the envelope, "Open it yourself and have a look."

Zeng Li's sudden reversal made Xie Jiao a little confused. She looked at Zeng Li and asked with a question mark on her face, "Are you sure, I can watch?"

On the opposite side, Zeng Li looked at her and nodded.

Xie Jiao took the envelope dubiously, and before opening it, she glanced at Zeng Li to make sure that he really didn't want to stop her, she lowered her head and opened the envelope in her hand.

After opening it, Xie Jiao poured out the contents.

It's not a letter, but a dozen photos?Zeng Li's photo.

Xie Jiao glanced at Zeng Li again, and then began to flip through the photos, all of them were photos of Zeng Li, from the point of view, they were all secretly taken by someone, but these photos can really show Zeng Li, no, it's Chen Shuo's personality, because in one picture, Chen Shuo took a bottle of water from a girl, Zeng Li would not drink water from other girls, and he was always merciless in rejecting others.

No, that was the later Zeng Li, and the current Zeng Li is obviously not very good.

Xie Jiao glanced at her lips, Zeng Li seemed to see her thoughts, took the photo in her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, "What are you thinking? I just pretended to be Chen Shuo to tease you. It's me, it never changes."

Seeing that Xie Jiao still didn't believe it, Zeng Li regretted it a little. He sighed, "I knew I wouldn't tease you." After that, he stood up and looked at Xie Jiao across the table with a serious expression, "If, in the future, there will be Given the chance, I'll let you know all about me."

After finishing speaking, his face seemed to become a little heavy, and then he turned and went back to the kitchen. When he came out of the kitchen, he had already returned to normal, holding two bowls of rice and two pairs of chopsticks in his hand, and then he put one of the bowls of rice and Passed a pair of chopsticks to Xie Jiao, "Eat quickly, it will be cold in a while."

Xie Jiao took the chopsticks, but still felt that what happened just now was difficult, even if it wasn't a love letter, why did you give him these photos, isn't it still showing his heart to him?
Seeing Xie Jiao not eating for a long time, Zeng Li also put down his chopsticks, and then patiently explained to her, "I didn't talk to her about anything else at the school gate just now, I kept talking about Chen Shuo because she helped me. I was busy, and thought I was Chen Shuo, so I smiled politely at her."

Zeng Li looked at Xie Jiao's expression, "At noon today, Zhang Xiao came to see me at school again. She discovered Chen Shuo's change. She came to chat with me today. It is obvious that she has been testing me several times. Of course, maybe She's just caring about her adolescent son, but we can't make any mistakes. This will only make our survival here more difficult. I barely managed it at noon today. Fortunately, Chen Ming is on a business trip with Xie Ting now. She left this house again, and I didn't have many opportunities to contact her. That's why I found the girl you saw tonight. When I first became Chen Shuo, I found out that she often secretly took pictures of Chen Shuo, on the court, in the class The door, except for the men's room, she really doesn't miss any place, so I guess she must be very aware of Chen Shuo's various preferences, and then I found her before school and asked her what she likes about me, and then pretended not Believe it or not, after testing her, she told me all about Chen Shuo's preferences. She also gave me these photos in your hand. It just so happens that I can learn Chen Shuo's behavior based on the photos."

After hearing Zeng Li's explanation, Xie Jiao said, "Oh." Then she couldn't believe it, "That's it?"

Zeng Li nodded: "Well, otherwise, what else do you want?"

Xie Jiao: "So, you don't like her?"

Zeng Li: "Yes."

Hearing Zeng Li's affirmation, Xie Jiao's little melancholy just now disappeared. She was suddenly in a good mood, and the corners of her lips could not help but rise. She remembered the courtyard wall behind the tree in front of her house just now. Taking a peek at Zeng Li, his face blushed unconsciously, and then he tried to press down the corners of his raised lips, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't.

After that, she sat down and picked up her chopsticks to eat. Because she was in a good mood, she ate half a bowl of rice more than usual today.

After eating, she went directly upstairs to write the math papers. Because of Zeng Li's explanation yesterday, she learned mathematics tonight fairly easily, and she can basically do all the papers.After finishing the paper, she packed up the things she needed for school tomorrow, and then went to knock on the door of Zeng Li's room.

She knocked twice, and when she heard Zeng Li's voice inside, she opened the door and went in.

His room is still the same as yesterday, only a desk lamp in front of the study desk is turned on, and he is sitting in front of the study desk, playing games!
Xie Jiao walked over, "Don't you even have to do your homework?"

Zeng Li turned around, "Well, I don't need to write."

Xie Jiao went to sit next to him, and asked him suspiciously, "Why, is it the privilege of the top student in your class?"

Zeng Li turned off his phone, looked at Xie Jiao, "No homework is accepted in the third year of high school, I always review and do papers, and ask questions in class the next day."

Xie Jiao: "So?"

Zeng Li raised one corner of his lips and smiled, "These are questions where one plus one equals two, just take the paper and read the questions and answer."

Xie Jiao: "..."

Sure enough, I can't talk about studying with Xueba, it's a [-]-point crit.It's better to cherish the time and talk about business.

Xie Jiao began to ask her the doubts she thought during the day, "Why do you want to travel around in different worlds? Who sent you here? Are you the same as me?"

Zeng Li looked at Xie Jiao with a leisurely attitude: "How should I answer you, I don't know how I got here, and I don't know how you got here?"

Xie Jiao thought about it, so she started to talk about herself to Zeng Li. Zeng Li knew about her death, so she smoothed the time and started to talk to Zeng Li about her rebirth after death until now. all the strange people and things.

On the opposite side, Zeng Li frowned and listened seriously, "I'm not as complicated as you. I didn't die, and I didn't encounter any strange people or things, and no one told me to go to any strange KTV. It's normal at night. Falling asleep, and then waking up and going back to the past, which is the first illusory world you mentioned. Then I met you, and I thought I was still in a dream at first, because I knew you were no longer there, so I thought I I just had a dream about you. Later, we had dinner with Wu Nuan, halfway through the meal you suddenly disappeared, and then I woke up. After waking up, my head felt a little heavy, which was different from the usual feeling when I woke up ...then life was no different, and after a while, I had another strange dream, this time it was the real world where you said you were reborn after death, and I walked out of a restaurant near our university , I met my sister after I came out, but that year, she should have passed away, and it is impossible for her to appear in my life. If the dream is the memory and nostalgia for the past, then the appearance of my sister is a loophole , so I began to feel that this dream was not quite right. Maybe the last dream was not a dream. After I had this guess, after a while, when I had this strange dream again for the third time, that is what you said I deliberately made some marks in my life. Although the time in the second world is disordered, but the events happened in the previous year in real life. I have the habit of saving desk calendars. So I haven't thrown away the desk calendar from the previous year. I found a blank page on the desk calendar and made up some events that happened that day. I'm sure that these things don't happen in real life, and I didn't record them on the desk calendar at all. After I got home, I made a mark on the corner of the armrest on the right side of the sofa. I thought that after I woke up, I would see if these marks existed. If they were there, it meant that this was not a dream at all, but a real occurrence. It’s an imaginary world that overlaps with the real world.”

Xie Jiao listened carefully and asked him, "And then? Do they really exist?"

Zeng Li nodded solemnly, "Existence, I was at home after waking up, and I immediately went to check the right armrest of the sofa. There was indeed a scratch, exactly the same as the one I scratched. I was a little shocked at the time. After that, I went to the hospital immediately without giving up, and found out the desk calendar I kept last year, and then I found that the records I made up on it also existed. After that, I would do this every once in a while. Strange dreams, the order is almost the same as yours, the fourth time I returned to the doctoral student apartment at the university, and then I met my sister who was no longer alive at the door of the photocopying agency, and then the fifth time, it is now."

Xie Jiao recalled her past with Zeng Li, "Then what happened before? When I was reborn, before I traveled to the first world, I went to have dinner with my roommates. At that time, I was in the corridor outside the private room of the hotel. See you."

Zeng Li thought about it for a while, then shook his head, "I don't remember this anymore."

Xie Jiao: "So, you have never seen that strange man in black who asked me to dress around to solve problems?"

Zeng Li shook his head again blankly, "I haven't seen it before."

Xie Jiao was a little disappointed, "I thought you had seen it before. I thought you were so smart that you might be able to find some flaws. Then we find him, so I don't have to go back and forth so endlessly."

Seeing that Xie Jiao was disappointed, but he couldn't help her, Zeng Li felt a little depressed, he asked Xie Jiao, "Then have you been to that KTV again?"
