54. Tears(1/2)
"Longsheng? Are you here? This is your home?" Yu Hao looked around, the room was empty.
"Yes, this is our home in Manhattan." Nakagawa Ryuki said in his voice, "It is also the 'next life' that Nikcy promised to give."
After saying that, Long Sheng walked over from the living room.
Yu Hao immediately got off the bed and said in surprise: "Longsheng, you can speak? Why didn't you speak just now?"
Long Sheng nodded a little restrainedly and said, "I can't speak when I leave here. Only at home can I speak. I know you are Yu Hao. I'll make you... a cup of coffee? Please sit down."
Yu Hao felt that all this was completely and thoroughly implemented the rules of dreams, which was really unreal. He was still in Chichen Itzari the last moment, and the next moment he traveled to Chen Yekai's home in New York.
Yu Hao looked at the ceiling. There were no cracks in the ceiling. How should he get out?
"I have no friends." Long Sheng said, "You are welcome to be a guest."
Long Sheng's Chinese seemed a bit strange. Yu Hao noticed that he was wearing a black uniform from a Japanese high school, and his white shirt was inside. He was quite handsome and unscrewed the coffee can and added Japanese UCC instant coffee to the two bamboo cups.
"Did you buy a house?" Yu Hao's attention was distracted, "Teacher Chen is really rich in Manhattan's house."
"Yes." Long Sheng replied simply.
"Why do I care about this?" Yu Hao said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm so vulgar."
Long Sheng and Chen Yekai had no door at home, so Yu Hao tried to open the curtains illuminated by the sun, and there was a wall behind him, which means that he could not leave here in the conventional way.
Long Sheng was holding a wooden tray with coffee, sugar and milk on the tray, and a small Napoleon cake. Yu Hao took a sip and the coffee was very fragrant.
"It's Nikcy's favorite." Long Sheng's expression was very plain, and he said, "I hope you like it too. There is only this dessert at home. I brought it to Nikcy, but he hasn't eaten it."
"Thank you." Yu Hao said, "I like it very much."
The two sat at the dining table. Yu Hao wanted to say something, but more about thinking about how to get out, and whether Zhou Sheng and Chen Yekai had arrived at the wellhead of Qichen Itza, and what would happen next. But when they remembered the situation before falling, the dark dragon Sheng at the wellhead had been indirectly shot by this light dragon Sheng. Maybe they were also looking for themselves when they arrived?
Yu Hao was very confused, but he didn't know how to speak for a moment. The two of them just looked at the tablecloth. For some reason, Yu Hao always felt that when they were with this Long Sheng, there was a peaceful tacit understanding between them without saying much.
Finally, Long Sheng suddenly spoke.
Long Sheng: "When we were with Nikcy, we could sit quietly for a day like this. He was sitting in your position to read a book."
"Where are you?" Yu Hao asked.
"I'll look at him." Long Sheng replied.
His hair was a little long, but his eyes were bright, as if as long as he was there, the whole world would be quiet.
"Are you here to save him?" Long Sheng said.
Yu Hao and Long Sheng looked at each other and put down the cup at the same time.
Yu Hao nodded and asked in confusion: "What does your existence represent? Is this a safe haven?"
That sentence was asked by Yu Hao, and he did not expect to get an answer. In fact, he had tried to chat with the NPC in his dream, and the answers he got were always plausible.
But Long Sheng asked back: "What do you think?"
In an instant, a thought flashed through Yu Hao's mind: "Are you his totem?"
Ryuso Nakagawa: "Yes."
Yu Hao: "!!!"
Yu Hao's first thought was that if Zhou Sheng was here, he might shout, "Totem has become a spirit, my mother!" This scene was really weird, but when I think of Zhou Sheng's previous speculation, I have to admire it very much.
At that time, he said: "It is possible that the totem is in the well, or the dragon is the totem." As a result, both of them may have guessed correctly! It was a prophecy of God!
"But..." Yu Hao said, "Who is the one you attacking us outside the well?"
"Start from the beginning." Long Sheng said, "I should have left long ago, but Nicky has been reluctant to part with me for a long time, locked me up in a hotel and refused to leave."
"Where are you going?" Yu Hao frowned, thinking that this world is all Chen Yekai's heart, where can Long Sheng go?
"Come here." Long Sheng pointed to the dining table, "This is the next life we made an appointment, but he would not agree."
"He said that he would come to the hotel to see me often, and I just lived in the hotel until the day the clothes disappeared from my body." As he said that, he pulled open the outer collar of the student suit and asked Yu Hao to look at the white shirt inside him, and said, "I think maybe it's time, so I decided to come out to find him and come to my inevitable destination."
Yu Hao: "..."
Yu Hao remembered the night before the college celebration performance, and borrowed Chen Yekai's white shirt, and felt guilty.
"I understand." Yu Hao murmured, "It turns out it's because of me."
Outside the well.
After the dark dragon resurrected, the dark fog swept across the entire Chichen Itza patio, and Chen Yekai could no longer see anything else in his eyes. Zhou Sheng looked at everything here vigilantly, especially the sculpture of the Feathered Snake God, which was nearly five meters high, to beware that it would come alive at any time.
"Nikcy." Dark Dragon Sheng spoke in the crazy scrolling darkness, "Are you guilty?"
Chen Yekai choked and said, "I'm sorry, Longsheng, I'm sorry... This is what I have always wanted to say."
"This is not your true confession." Dark Dragon Sheng shouted almost madly, "To this day, are you still unwilling to face me?!"
"...Your arrogance and pride have ruined yourself." Long Sheng's voice was low, like a devil born from the darkness. "You stand on the commanding heights of this relationship, thinking that you love me is a reward for me! It is your sympathy for me!"
Chen Yekai's expression suddenly became calm, and he held back his tears: "Yes, Long Sheng, I already understand."
There was a hint of surprise in the dark dragon's voice: "What do you understand?"
Chen Yekai: "I understand your love for me."
The thick fog that had been shrouded near the patio began to gradually dissipate, and Chen Yekai and Dark Longsheng's figures appeared. Zhou Sheng thought to himself that he was doing well! Longsheng's dark power seemed to gradually fade in front of Chen Yekai and gathered to the area near the wellhead.
Chen Yekai: "I also understand the words you said to me every day we have been together."
The dark dragon Sheng walked slowly towards Chen Yekai and looked at him across the well.
"I understand your anxiety." Chen Yekai said, "Your eyes that are so eager to speak and your fear of losing me, but you don't understand! I love you the same way! Longsheng!"
Chen Yekai almost roared out in the end, causing the dark dragon to take a step back.
Chen Yekai said sadly: "I am also learning how to love someone! Learn how to get along with you! I don't know how to manage our marriage. I don't know how to give you what you want. I want to marry you and live a lifetime with you! I know that there are too many choices in my life, but you are the only one."
Speaking of this, Chen Yekai sighed long and the sound of water came from all directions. Zhou Sheng immediately turned his head to look. The ceiling began to drip water downwards, seeping into the room, suppressing him for four years, gathering tears from the Iguazu Falls.
In the hotel.
Tears oozed from the corners of Chen Yekai's eyes, and they slid down along his side face and soaked on the pillow.
Yu Hao subconsciously turned his head, while Zhou Sheng raised his arms in his sleep, letting Yu Hao rest on his shoulders.
Bottom of the well: the next life.
"No." Long Sheng said seriously, "Please don't blame yourself. I just hope he will live a happy life. My original intention of doing this is not to punish him, but to hope that he will not face so many choices and accept the pain brought by choice."
"But, you can do anything again." Yu Hao said seriously, "Only he can't bear losing you."
Speaking of this, Yu Hao suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if the person in front of him was not the Longsheng in Chen Yekai's consciousness, but the real Longsheng soul that had traveled through time and space.
Ryuki Nakagawa got up, walked to the record machine, played a song, and the music started, which was "Perfect" sang by ED and Beyoncé.
“Causewewerejustkidswhenwefellinlove.”
“Notknowingwhatitwas—”
"Everyone thinks that death may be painful," Long Sheng said calmly, "But for patients with depression, death is a kind of relief. Why can't it be regarded as a destined separation? We spent the best time together, and I was sick, a genetic incurable disease. It's better to suffer from it in the last days of my life..."
Yu Hao began to understand Long Sheng’s last thought.
"It's better to cherish every day, every minute, every second you can still be together." Yu Hao said softly.
"Yes." Long Sheng said, "This is indeed the case for me. I know very well that my disease comes from family inheritance and I am destined to be incurable. I have no regrets when I was with him... Thinking about it this way, do you understand?"
Yu Hao remembered that in the chapter on cognitive behavioral treatment in a professional course, he mentioned that the cause of depression is not completely clear, but at least for now, it has a very complex relationship with genetics, endocrine, nerve function and regeneration, and there are also clear connections between multiple chromosomes and major depression diseases.
According to unofficial data survey, depression reached nearly 3% in China, which is not a psychological condition that allows patients to "think about it". Once diagnosed, they must take medicine on time. For patients with severe depression, even if they are temporarily cured, the recurrence rate after cure is as high as 60%, and many patients need to take medicine for life.
However, depression in China still remains on the surface of mental disorders and is rarely taken seriously.
"In Mayan civilization, death is not the end, it is just the beginning of a new journey. Life is gorgeous but short, like a flower, it will bloom again after it witheres. We continue to go back and forth in the cycle of reincarnation, and we can meet again. That is not a farewell... Let's continue." Longsheng explained in the flowing music, "So, I returned to Chichen Itza and walked towards the well."
Yu Hao said: "He locked you in a hotel. Maybe it was because he didn't want you to leave, he didn't want to let go, he didn't want you to go to reincarnation."
Nakagawa Ryuso looked at Yu Hao and replied softly: "Yes, you're right."
Yu Hao suddenly thought through a series of causes and consequences in Chen Yekai's consciousness world. Long Sheng, who died, left in his heart, hoped to go to Qichen Itza and wait for Chen Yekai to the so-called "next life", but Chen Yekai could never accept Long Sheng's departure.
So in his dream, Long Sheng, who was totem, always stayed in the hotel "The Beginning and Ending".
"Just when I wanted to go to my life, I met Teacher Lin at the wellhead of Chichen Itza." Long Sheng said, "He polluted me and separated me in half, took away part of me, those dark consciousnesses, and then threw me into the bottom of the well. I don't want this to end like this, so, Yu Hao, I ask for your help."
"He is excellent." Long Sheng said, "but I think I am just a short passerby in his life. What he gave me in this life, to be precise, is not love, but sympathy. The half that Teacher Lin took away is my only obsession with Nikcy in this relationship."
Yu Hao: "No, it's not like that, Longsheng."
Nakagawa Ryusheng raised his eyes and looked at Yu Hao, who showed a sad smile.
"Your existence is the proof of his love for you." Yu Hao said with anticipation, "I believe that in his past world, totem was not what you look like. Since you came, you have become his only totem."
A little surprise appeared in Nakagawa's eyes, and Yu Hao said again: "Everyone's totem means his meaning, his persistence, that is, the self he hopes to be. Longsheng, go back with me, go back to his side, only you can do it, you can give him the courage to return to the sun."
"I remember you wrote him a letter."
Long Sheng: "I remember too. However, I think he once gave you something, which is essential to defeat Teacher Lin."
Yu Hao's heart was shaking: "What?"
To be continued...
