Chapter 85 Is it a dream or reality?

"Ah Qing is so heartless. We are already married. Does Ah Qing want to deny it?"

"what--"

Ah Qing screamed in fright, turned around with his eyes closed, and slammed his phone towards the voice.

The phone fell to the ground with a thud.

The only sound in the room was Qing's rapid breathing.

After waiting for a long time, there was no other movement in the room.

Ah Qing hesitated for a long time, then carefully opened his eyes just a slit.

I found that there was no one in front of me.

Ah Qing took a breath and hurriedly turned around to look behind him.

There was also no one behind him.

Ah Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to be completely relieved.

Who knows when that thing will suddenly appear again?
Ah Qing searched carefully in the room. As he turned, a gust of wind in his ears would make him jump up and down like a frightened bird.

However, it was as if the thing was deliberately against him. The more cautious and nervous he became, the thing didn't move at all.

It was as if the sounds just now were all his imagination.

If it was really an illusion, forget it, but Ah Qing knew very well that it was not an illusion.

Even if it is really just his hallucination, he is still in the hallucination and has not come out.

"Hechu! Are you there?"

No one responded.

Ah Qing was sure that he was still in his hallucination, otherwise his home would not be so quiet.

Even if He Chu was not at home, there would never be any noise from the upstairs of his house.

Because it is a rented house and a housing area with relatively cheap rent, the sound insulation here is not very good.

The family above his house had never stopped making all kinds of noises since the day they moved in.

And it’s day and night.

Sometimes it's the sound of things falling to the ground, sometimes it's the sound of quarrels, and sometimes there are inexplicable sounds of hammering and electric drills.

Ah Qing and He Chu went up to talk to him several times, and the attitude of the family above was quite good. Each time they apologized in various ways and promised to pay attention next time.

Although it will still be the same next time.

Ah Qing used to find it annoying upstairs, especially in the middle of the night, when there was all kinds of noise and noise that kept people awake.

Now I miss the noises upstairs very much.

The house above his house is quiet almost every day all year round. It is so quiet now, it is not normal no matter how you think about it.

Either something happened to the family upstairs, or he was not in the environment he was familiar with at all.

Ah Qing took a deep breath, not knowing what to do?
He had no relevant experience in this area at all. After encountering such a thing, he didn't even have a clue.

Ah Qing was not very courageous in the first place and did not dare to move around in the room. He jumped on the sofa and wrapped the quilt tightly around him.

Shivering, he waited for someone who could save him to appear.

And the only thing he can think of right now is the anchor who was even on the air before.

As for his roommate He Chu, it wasn't that he looked down on He Chu. This man seemed to be less courageous than him.

So you can't count on it.

Time passed by minute by second, and Ah Qing didn't know how long he had been huddled in this place alone, but it felt like several hours had passed.

But when I looked up at the clock on the wall, the hands were still pointing to twelve.

Not even an inch moved.

This space seems to be frozen at ten o'clock in the evening.

Ah Qing raised his head and stared at the clock on the wall for a long time. It suddenly occurred to him that he was trapped in this world. The most obvious evidence was that time did not move.

So if he lets time move again, can he break this dilemma?

Ah Qing stared at the clock on the wall, feeling anxious, and the thoughts in his heart became increasingly uncontrollable.

But he didn't dare to move the clock rashly. He was afraid that if he really moved the clock, something would happen that he couldn't resist.

After hesitating for a long time between moving the clock, Ah Qing felt that time was passing more and more painfully.

Finally, Ah Qing moved.

He stood up with the quilt wrapped around him, and slowly came to the wall step by step.

He looked up at the clock on the wall for a moment.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and carried the chair next to him.

Standing on the chair, he raised his hand and took down the clock.

Turn the clock over and gently move the hands on the back.

The time fixed at ten o'clock was finally broken.

The moment the pointer turned, Ah Qing seemed to hear a crisp "click" sound in the air.

It's like the gears of fate are being turned.

Ah Qing's body trembled, and he held the clock in his hand and pressed it against the wall behind him, looking nervously at the situation in the room.

1 minute passed and nothing happened.

Ah Qing couldn't believe the calmness in front of him, and looked down at the clock in his hand.

Time has resumed its movement.

But why is he still here?

Did he think wrong?
The key isn't the clock?

Or maybe this wasn't just his imagination as he thought?

Or is it that he has hallucinated, but in reality, the house is so quiet?

"He...he Chu?" Ah Qing only called out tentatively.

"Ah? Ah Qing, you called me?" He Chu's response came from He Chu's room.

Ah Qing's eyes widened, his breathing quickened, and he looked excitedly at the door of He Chu's room.

"He Chu! Are you in the room?"

He Chu walked out of his room in his pajamas with a puzzled look on his face, "Yes, do you have anything to do with me?"

Perhaps because he had been deceived once before, Ah Qing looked at He Chu in front of him and did not rush over immediately.

"He Chu, when did you come back?" Ah Qing asked cautiously.

He Chu looked at Ah Qing inexplicably, "What are you talking about? I have been at home today. Today is Sunday, I have a day off."

Ah Qing was stunned for a moment, then realized that today was indeed Sunday and they didn't have to go to work.

So He Chu rested at home all day today and never went out at all, let alone coming back from get off work.

In other words, the He Chu he saw before was completely fake!
He has entered his own hallucination since then!

But why?

How on earth did he enter the hallucination?
If He Chu at that time was an illusion, then was the process of contacting the anchor before also his own illusion?

Ah Qing fell into deep self-doubt.

Seeing Aqing staring at him without saying a word, He Chu frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look weird?"

Then he saw Ah Qing holding the clock in his hand and asked, "Why did you take down the wall clock? Is the battery out?"

As he spoke, he walked over, took away the wall clock from Ah Qing's hand, and lowered his head to check it.

"Isn't there electricity? Why did you take it down?"

"I think the time seems inaccurate. Take it off and adjust it." Ah Qing looked at He Chu in front of him with a complicated expression.

"Is it ready now? Hang it back up once it's done." He Chu said, preparing to hang the clock back on the wall himself.Ah Qing didn't stop him. He stood aside and looked up at He Chu as he hung the clock back on the wall.

"He Chu."

"Huh?" He Chu turned back to look at Ah Qing.

Ah Qing looked at He Chu with a complicated expression, "Didn't you realize that this time is still wrong?"

He Chu's expression froze, and he subconsciously looked back at the clock that had been hung up.

The time above shows [-]:[-] pm.

It is consistent with the time set by his geek.

In other words, during the time he was talking to He Chu, time actually didn't move forward at all.

But he was sure that the second hand kept moving.

This discovery should make Ah Qing scared, but for some reason, he couldn't be scared.

Especially after seeing that He Chu in front of him seemed to really not realize this, he actually felt that he was scared by such an idiot. It was really embarrassing!

But if I feel stupid, I still have to run if I should.

Ah Qing wrapped the quilt tightly around her body and silently took a few steps away from He Chu in front of her.

"Huh? Is this clock broken? Why don't the other hands move except the second hand?" He Chu didn't realize that A Qing had begun to doubt him. He looked at the clock in front of him and said doubtfully.

While He Chu was talking, Ah Qing had already retreated to the corridor connecting the living room and the bedroom.

He Chu turned around and was startled when he saw Ah Qing so far away from him.

"What are you doing so far?"

Ah Qing shook his head, "No, I can see clearly from here. I want to see if you are hanging crookedly."

He Chu actually believed Ah Qing's lie, "Is it crooked?"

"No, it's fine."

He Chu nodded and got off the chair.

He glanced at the clock, which still had no change in time, and said to Ah Qing: "This wall clock is probably broken. Let's buy a new one tomorrow."

"Yeah." Ah Qing nodded perfunctorily.

"I think something's not right with you tonight. Are you uncomfortable with the quilt that's been wrapped around you?" He Chu looked at Ah Qing with concern on his face and asked.

"Ah? No, I just feel safer this way." Ah Qing smiled awkwardly.

He now also has some doubts in his heart, is the He Chu in front of him real?

He thought it was fake, but He Chu's current performance didn't seem to be fake?
How could this be?
"He Chu, have you...had dinner?" A Qing asked hesitantly.

He Chu looked at Ah Qing with an expression of "Are you okay?" "Didn't we have dinner together? Have you lost your memory?"

"Yeah, haha... I'm actually hungry. I wanted to ask you if you want to have a midnight snack together?" Ah Qing immediately made up for himself.

He asked this deliberately, wanting to see how He Chu would answer.

However, He Chu's answer was still correct.

Ah Qing was increasingly unable to tell whether the He Chu in front of him was real.

More importantly, strictly speaking, he and He Chu were not very familiar with each other.

Naturally, there is no way to tell the authenticity of the other party by asking some relatively private questions.

"Are you hungry again so soon? Isn't it not long after dinner?" He Chu looked at Ah Qing in surprise and said.

Ah Qing's eyes flickered a few times, "Well... the time is not short, right?"

"Okay, what do you want to eat? Order takeout or cook it yourself? If you cook it yourself, there will be leftovers in the refrigerator."

He Chu said as he walked towards the kitchen.

Ah Qing said nothing.

After he and He Chu shared a house, in order to save money, they often cooked and ate together.

However, his cooking skills are not very good, so He Chu cooks most of the time and he is responsible for washing the dishes.

As for the money for ingredients, the two of them have always paid for it.

Looking at He Chu who had entered the kitchen, he could still hear his questioning voice coming from the kitchen.

"Aqing? I want to ask you a question, what do you want to eat?"

"Ah...it's all right, just watch and do it!"

In the kitchen, after receiving Ah Qing's answer, He Chu stopped asking.

Ah Qing waited for a while, only to hear the sound of jingling bells coming from the kitchen.

Ah Qing came to the kitchen door hesitantly, took a deep breath, and looked into the kitchen.

Everything in the kitchen was normal, and none of the horrific scenes he thought appeared.

He Chu was facing the kitchen door with his back to the kitchen door, and his hands were busy handling the ingredients.

The ingredients are also normal, it is the half chicken left during the day.

Ah Qing breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and when he was about to exit, He Chu suddenly turned around and looked at Ah Qing.

"Ah Ching."

"Ah!" Ah Qing was startled by He Chu's sudden turn, and his face turned several degrees pale.

No exaggeration, I almost had a heart attack.

"What...what's wrong?" Ah Qing tried to calm down.

He Chu looked at Ah Qing speechlessly, "Why are you so startled? I didn't mean to scare you, right?"

"No... I was just scared by myself, it has nothing to do with you." A Qing explained with a wry smile.

"What did you do? Why did you scare yourself like this?"

"I...I..." Ah Qing hesitated for a long time without saying anything.

He Chu stared for a while, and seeing that A Qing himself couldn't explain clearly, he didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, okay, I won't force you." He Chu waved his hand and picked up the fish he had prepared, "I just want to ask you, how do you want to eat this fish?"

Ah Qing calmed down, "It's okay, just watch and do it, just don't be too spicy."

"Okay. You go to the living room and wait."

Ah Qing stood at the door and watched He Chu's movements. He Chu's movements were still as skillful as he remembered.

Ah Qing could not tell more and more clearly, was he in a dream or in reality?

Until he finished the late-night snack, He Chu's behavior was no different from what A Qing usually knew.

Ah Qing couldn't help but think that maybe he really thought too much.

In fact, he has now come out of his hallucination?

"When you're full, remember to wash the pots and dishes. I'm going back to the room first. If you need anything, call me."

"Well, you go."

Ah Qing lowered his head to clear away the dishes on the table, and nodded in response without looking back.

There was no movement behind him. Ah Qing also packed up the dishes on the table and was about to wash them when his body suddenly froze.

He suddenly thought of a question.

He Chu said that he had gone back to his room, but after so long, there was no sound of footsteps behind him.

Did He Chu really go back to his room?
Ah Qing didn't dare to look back, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

All kinds of terrible imaginations appeared in my mind, and I didn't dare to look back.

Not sure if he was overthinking it, but Ah Qing suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing behind his ears.

Ah Qing swallowed and tentatively turned his head to look behind him little by little.
