The reflection in the water seemed to be smiling. This expression seemed a bit stiff to Liu Mengchao, but it was indeed a human expression. Does his brother Chu Zhi really have human emotions?
Thinking of this, even Liu Mengchao himself felt a little surprised.
"There's nothing surprising," the reflection in the water seemed to detect the surprise in Liu Mengchao's heart, and smiled, "If you are willing, I want to talk to you."
Let¡¯s talk?
Do you always talk to yourself so rashly?
Liu Mengchao looked at the reflection in the water and couldn't help but grin. He was smiling, because he had never seen Chu Zhi like this before. He was very kind, but with a hint of expectation. Yes, it was not Liu Mengchao who was looking forward to it, but the reflection in the water with an expectant expression on his face.
"What are you talking about? I will continue the transaction."
"No, it's not a deal."
Chu Zhi in the water shook his head slightly.
This scene is very unique. A person talks to his reflection in the water, and the reflection in the water actually replies to him.
At this time, the moonlight in the sky is clear, like a thin veil, falling from the sky and draped on everyone's shoulders. There was a smile in Liu Mengchao's eyebrows, and he looked at the person in front of him with a smile, as if he was watching an interesting and unique scene. This makes people feel a warm feeling in their hearts.
He didn¡¯t lie to me.
Liu Mengchao can detect whether each person is telling a lie or telling the truth. Just looking at Chu Zhi's expression in the water, Liu Mengchao was 100% sure that Chu Zhi was speaking his thoughts seriously. He wanted to talk to himself. Although he didn't know what Chu Zhi wanted to talk about, Liu Mengchao knew that there would definitely be a conversation between the two of them, a conversation that could determine the future. The conversation that decides everything.
"now?"
Liu Mengchao simply sat down, raising his head, and the starlight accompanied by the moonlight fell on Liu Mengchao's face. The breeze blowing from nowhere was swirling, gently picking up the fallen leaves and dancing around Liu Mengchao. Liu Mengchao slowly narrowed his eyes, feeling the silence filling the air at this moment, and even his soul began to become quiet.
"Yes, right now."
Chu Zhi in the water seemed to be able to feel Liu Mengchao's current environment, and the expression on his face began to become softer and more subtle. He seemed to be smiling, but he seemed to be remembering. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s in the heart of this man who once had no emotion at all. What kind of feelings are hidden?
After the nightingale sang its third serenade, Liu Mengchao finally nodded slowly and agreed to this conversation.
Looking at Liu Mengchao¡¯s slight nod, Chu Zhi couldn¡¯t help but have a look of joy on his face.
In the blink of an eye, the water surface began to ripple in circles. The water surface reflecting the moonlight was sparkling, as if accompanied by the singing of the nightingale, it began to become gentle.
"bring it on!"
A hand passed through the water and came to Liu Mengchao. Liu Mengchao looked at this hand, in the open palm. But it is the pattern on the palm of my hand that I am very familiar with. Liu Mengchao, who looked at people like looking at palm prints, felt for the first time that he might not be able to read someone's heart. Liu Mengchao, who didn't know what expression to make, nodded subconsciously and slowly stretched out his palm.
Under the night sky. The wind was so light that even the moonlight and starlight became gentle. Liu Mengchao's hand held Chu Zhi's hand, and the two people's eyes looked exactly like his own, and they smiled in unison. Then they nodded in unison.
Wow!
With a soft sound, water splashed under the starlight, and Liu Mengchao's figure disappeared under the night sky. He seemed to have never appeared in this moonlight. It seems that these stars have never been draped on Liu Mengchao's shoulders.
He is gone.
But the reflection in the water still remains, reflecting the shallow moonlight in the sky, accompanied by a few stars lingering in this quiet night. When everything quieted down, even the water surface began to become calm, and only the night reflected on the water surface.
There seem to be two identical worlds in the sky and in the water.
In both worlds, there is bright moonlight, twinkling stars, treetops blown by the night wind, and a nightingale standing on the branch singing softly.
I don¡¯t know how many songs this nightingale sang, or how many treetops the night wind blew through. In the quiet night sky, there was a sudden sound of "??A voice with laughter.
"I have been waiting for you for a long time, my brother, Liu Mengchao."
When Liu Mengchao opened his eyes again, a whole new world appeared in front of him. No, it would be a bit irresponsible to say that this world is brand new.
Liu Mengchao rubbed his eyes gently and looked at the scene that appeared in front of him with some surprise.
The same clear and gentle moonlight, the same woods swaying slowly in the night, the same bright and elegant nightingales singing. This kind of world seems to be exactly the same as the world he just talked to Chu Zhi.
Did you just have a dream?
Liu Mengchao asked himself subconsciously. Is it because I was under too much mental pressure and finally caused myself to hallucinate, so I saw that scene?
"Of course it's not an illusion."
Just when Liu Mengchao was feeling uneasy, a smiling voice rang in Liu Mengchao's ears. Liu Mengchao subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a person exactly like himself looking at him with a smile. That person Liu Mengchao was too familiar.
It is Chu Zhi who was created by humans just like himself, but is completely different from himself. I have feelings that ordinary people can't match. I can feel every detail of every person's expression, and I can understand the deepest feelings hidden in everyone's heart.
But the person in front of him is a man named Chu Zhi. He is an emotionless person, which may be too cruel to say, but that is the fact. Chu Zhi has never experienced emotions. He doesn't know what laughter is, let alone the reason for crying uncontrollably, even if others are ecstatic in their hearts. He just looked at the man's smiling face indifferently.
The so-called feelings are always just the product of a long process of changing numbers and a long process of reasoning and proof. If a person's emotional world is colorful, then Chu Zhi's world is a silent black and white movie, and even the sound seems extremely precious.
Looking at the face that was exactly the same as his own, for some reason, Liu Mengchao felt a trace of pity in his heart. If he were to change his identity and become Chu Zhi, he would have become crazy long ago without even realizing it.
"But it's different now." Looking into Liu Mengchao's eyes, Chu Zhi smiled. He was still a little stiff when he smiled. Before he could raise the corners of his mouth, a smile was already rippling from his eyes. But he seemed really happy, very happy.
People who have never seen colors before and come out of the world of black and white for the first time will probably be like Chu Zhi, right?
Thinking of this, Liu Mengchao seemed to be able to understand Chu Zhi's mood.
¡°Look above our heads.¡±
At this moment, Chu Zhi said with a smile. I saw him raising his head and looking at the sky. Starlight was brewing in his eyes at this moment.
"I used to look at the stars in the sky and the moon in the sky. Looking at this night, only data appeared in my mind. The origin of the stars was just the so-called moonlight from distant planets. It was just the so-called moonlight. The sun reflects. Everything I see really doesn¡¯t have any temperature.¡±
Chu Zhi said slowly, but he had already walked in front of Liu Mengchao. He said with a smile, but the man had already sat down cross-legged. Thin grass was beneath him. Like a thin blanket. The twinkling stars draped over his shoulders like a thin gauze.
"I never knew that just looking at the stars in the sky. Looking at the moon in the sky and feeling the breeze blowing by my ears would make me feel so happy."
Chu Zhi said slowly, but his face was already full of smiles. I saw him slowly stretching out his hand, as if catching the starlight scattered from the sky. He slowly lowered his head and stared at the dew on the grass.
Those dewdrops were crystal clear under the starlight, but the starlight seemed to be leaking from between Chu Zhi's fingers. For some reason, Liu Mengchao felt a sense of harmony in his heart just by looking at the expression on Chu Zhi's face.
"Isn't it amazing? If a person has feelings, the world seems to really become colorful." Chu Zhi said with a smile, with an indescribable smile in his eyes, but he seemed to be waiting for Liu Mengchao's answer. , and seemed to be talking about the experiences I once thought I would never have.
He spoke very slowly but carefully.
"Sometimes I even wonder, after I have experienced so much, is this what I am pursuing." Chu Zhi said slowly.?, but there was a look of expectation in his eyes. Chu Zhi raised his head and stared into Liu Mengchao's eyes, waiting for his brother's answer.
answer? What should I say?
Liu Mengchao seemed a little confused for a moment. He sat down directly in front of Chu Zhi. The two brothers sat facing each other, the moonlight and starlight swaying wantonly around the two brothers, and the breeze carrying the nightingale's singing also lingered around the two men.
Everything is like the most beautiful picture scroll, no one has the heart to break it. Only the starlight is like running water, passing quietly under the moonlight.
"Is this your answer?"
After a long time, Chu Zhi asked with a smile in his eyes.
Liu Mengchao¡¯s mouth twitched slightly, and he nodded with the smile rippling in his eyes.
"I don't understand." Chu Zhi shook his head slightly, but nodded with a smile.
"Emotions are inherently inexplicable things." Liu Mengchao said with a smile. There seemed to be endless words hidden in his eyes, but it seemed that he had already said everything he wanted to say in just a few words. Clearly.
"Only after experiencing it can you know what emotion is." Liu Mengchao leaned down, opened his palms, let a drop of crystal dew fall on his palm, and then said with a smile, "Just like this drop of dew, only by being When the moonlight shines on it, it becomes clear and transparent.¡±
Chu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then leaned down like Liu Mengchao and took a drop of dew dripping from the grass. This dewdrop is so gentle, yet seems to disappear so easily.
Suddenly, the moonlight shines on this dewdrop, and the refracted light is colorful, like another world.
"I saw."
Chu Zhi slowly raised his head and said to Liu Mengchao with a smile.
I saw what I wanted and felt what I wanted. The originally stiff smile on Chu Zhi's face finally became more lively at this moment. It is as if the snow in the deep mountains has been melted by the spring breeze blowing from nowhere, turning into a trickling clear spring, flowing along the winding and rugged mountain road towards the sea.
Tick ??tock!
With a soft sound, Liu Mengchao noticed two lines of clear tears left on Chu Zhi's face. Only then did Liu Mengchao finally realize that the snow-capped mountains that had not melted for years finally ushered in spring. (To be continued)
