"This class of ours is to discuss the relationship between unemployment and inflation. In fact, since we are all juniors, we should know that there is no causal relationship between the two..."
The sun is shining brightly at the University of Hong Kong in October. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows divide the light into grids and reflect it on the ground. The huge lecture theater is crowded, but few people make any sound underneath. At this moment, the only lecturers on the desk are the ones. The voice echoed in the air.
The learning atmosphere for HKU students is very good. If you calm down, you can hear the subtle "click" sound of the pen tips around you when writing notes on the paper.
This kind of atmosphere is easily reminiscent of the hard-working spirit of studying hard in high school.
However, even in a first-class university classroom, there are still people who are distracted among their classmates at this moment, looking so out of place.
This person is He Tianran...
When there is no warmth and prank in his world, what will his life be like?
No one would go out of his way to enlighten his hobbies in September so that he could try to be an art student and take the directing examination.
No one would laugh at him for making a huge fool of himself, which frustrated his mentality, causing him to fail the college entrance examination and live in the shadows for the rest of his life.
When Cao Aiqing was bullied, he would have the courage to stand up instead of missing the incident to go to the training class, or hiding in the grass and pushing Guo Huai out.
Faced with He Panshan's oppression, he no longer struggled to resist, but chose to obey. With a high score of 671, he was admitted to the Department of Finance of the University of Hong Kong.
His younger brother He Yuanchong was in the same class as him.
He didn't like finance very much, but he was willing to learn it, because whether he liked it or not gradually became less important. Due to their prominent family background and excellent achievements, the two brothers attracted much attention, and soon the teachers and students of the department regarded them as They are also known as the "Twin Stars of the Financial Department".
He no longer boxed, and his muscles were no longer as tight as they used to be. But luckily, he became obsessed with playing basketball when he went to college. His skills were pretty good, and he participated in several competitions between departments, so now his height Still 1.85 meters.
He still has long hair, but he no longer has the valid reason of being an "artist". It is purely because of the influence of He Panshan.
By the way, he didn't catch up with Cao Aiqing in high school.
Because without the presence of warmth and coolness, his character is still gentle.
The above are the memories that He Tianran has digested so far.
Nowadays, in his eyes, many things are in black and white, such as the entire film school, those streets that the two of them once walked in the university town, those fans who have heard "Mountains and Seas" and "The Rose Thief", those who share the same Friends I know...
Everything related to Wen Liang seemed to be dyed with a layer of ink. It was as if they could not see He Tianran, as if they were people from two worlds. Although they intersected, they did not interfere with each other and ignored each other.
This is not time travel, this is more like a change of cause and effect.
This is He Tianran's world after Wen Liang is freed and the two cut off the cause and effect.
This world finally looks a bit like hell.
But luckily it's not that bad.
The other half of his life is still colorful, but it is also extremely strange.
For example, now——
"Brother, let's go play ball. I see you are frozen in your position during this class, not moving. What are you thinking about?"
After class, the students walked out of the lecture theater one after another. A man who had avoided each other before walked up to He Tianran and patted him on the back.
The person who came was none other than his younger brother, He Yuanchong.
During the three years they studied at the University of Hong Kong, they were in the same major, the same class, and the same dormitory. He Panshan ordered that the two of them were strictly prohibited from renting out the house, so they ate, drank, and had sex together. At first, they didn't look at each other. But as time went by, it became difficult for the two brothers' relationship not to improve in this environment.
He Yuanchong took He Tianran to play basketball. The reason was that he, as his younger brother, wanted to beat around the bush and humiliate his otaku brother who stayed in the dormitory all day long. The first few times he was really successful, He Tianran played basketball. If you're not lucky, the loser will be a bloody mess.
But He Yuanchong didn't expect that He Tianran was very angry and vindictive. After losing a few times, he actually started practicing on his own. Every time the two brothers played, He Yuanchong could feel He Tianran's progress. After a while, every drop of water penetrated the stone, and he slowly polished it day after day. His basketball skills were inexplicably better than his own...
This gave He Yuanchong a new understanding of He Tianran, and he also came to a conclusion, which is -
Don't let He Tianran hate yourself.
Although he disdained his brother's introverted and meek character, He Yuanchong never regarded He Tianran as a fool after being admitted to the University of Hong Kong.
Now, it is not clear what the two brothers have in mind, but at least on the surface, they are quite harmonious.
He Tianran stared at He Yuanchong. His mind was very confused now. He had not yet digested this new memory. He shook his head:
"I'm not going, I have something to do later."
"Fine."
He Yuanchong shrugged, asking for trouble. He looked at He Tianran's hair and smiled:
"Brother, remember to dye your hair before you go home. It seems to be a lot whiter. In the past two days, my dad has been talking about why you have such gray hair, but I think you are quite handsome. "
He Tianran was stunned...
Ah, he remembered.
Since my sophomore year in college, I have had white hair grow on my head for no apparent reason. I have never paid much attention to it. I only thought it was due to overuse of my brain or a physical problem.
His new memory, as told to him.
He Tianran smiled tiredly: "I understand, go ahead and do your work.
"Okay, then I'll leave first."
He Yuanchong also noticed that something was wrong with He Tianran, but he didn't bother to ask more. With He Tianran's temper, he couldn't beat him with three sticks, so it was not in vain to ask, so he simply left.
The students in the lecture theater gradually left, and He Tianran sat motionless.
Just now, he was looking at the snow-capped mountains at Feilai Temple, thousands of miles away from the port city...
He still remembered that the snow from Kawaborg fell on his head.
I didn’t expect that I can’t even wash it off now…
He Tianran suddenly wanted to cry and laugh twice.
However, he just sat there, unable to cry or laugh...
"I still have some unfinished business... I can't relax yet... I still have some unfinished business..."
He kept saying that he was still in hell and his life was still going on, even if only half of it was left...
"By the way, I haven't caught up with Ai Qing now, so how is she doing now?"
Since He Tianran's memory was not completely digested, he was unable to find more memories related to Cao Aiqing in his mind.
He stood up and prepared to walk out the door.
At this time, a call came one after another. He took out an unfamiliar iPhone from his pocket. The caller ID on it showed a long-lost name——
Cao Aiqing.
The cell phone rang very quickly. After He Tianran answered the call, he tremblingly put the receiver to his ear...
"……Hello?"
"He Tianran, what exactly have you done to my world?"
The female voice opposite her spoke every word, as if she was suppressing overwhelming anger.
