Chapter 174 Extra: Daily Life (1)
Chu Chen sat cross-legged on the bench on the balcony, leaning against the glass window behind him. The warm sunshine came over and jumped onto Chu Chen's upturned hair, dyeing it golden.
Someone was weeding, and the fragrance of green grass filled the nostrils. Chu Chen raised his head slightly and stared blankly at the shadow of the flowering vines not far away. When the wind blew, the shadow swayed.
The doorbell rang suddenly.
Chu Chen came to his senses, got up from the bench, walked to the door barefoot, and opened the door.
The delivery robot opened its mouth and took out a bouquet of flowers.
Chu Chen took it: "Thank you."
The robot's eyes flashed red and said slowly: You're welcome.
Chu Chen returned to his room.
He untied the flower bouquet in his hands, removed the excess branches and leaves, and trimmed them again before slowly inserting them into the vase. He pushed the vase forward slightly and talked to the air in front of him: " This world doesn't have the variety you like. So I could only buy something that looks similar."
"...You will never guess that this kind of flower is used for eating here."
Chu Chen gently ran his fingers over the petals, unable to imagine the taste of this thing. In the end, he could only comment, "The people here like to hunt for novelty. Many edible things are not eaten, but on the contrary, many inedible things are used as ingredients. "
"I have a good life here. Although this world is a book, there are always some bugs and unreasonable places, but as long as I accept these settings, my life is quite comfortable."
Chu Chen was very casual and talked about whatever came to mind, "Now that I have family, friends, and my own career, there are a lot of new things around me, and it's much more interesting than in that small place before."
"You're having a good time there, right?"
Chu Chen asked softly.
Today was his mother's death anniversary.
His mother who suffered from mental illness, often self-mutilated, and finally committed suicide to free herself.
His real mother.
Chu Chen had never settled down before. On the anniversary of her death, there were always obstacles one after another, and Chu Chen's mother was not the kind of person who paid much attention to dates, so he didn't make it so grand, he just talked to his mother from a distance.
He finally had time today, so he bought a bunch of flowers.
He intended to let the two of them have a good chat.
He slowly talked about everything that happened after arriving in the interstellar world. Some of the content was from two years ago. Chu Chen had forgotten the details, so he just sat there and thought about it slowly.
By the time he finished talking, he had already finished three glasses of water, and the sun had moved from the east to the west.
Chu Chen was hungry.
He hummed and started cooking.
After eating and drinking, Chu Chen stared at the flowers he bought, placed them in a prominent position, and planned to make them into dried flowers in two days before turning back to the bedroom. The restaurant was closed today, Chu Chen had enough time to rest.
Perhaps because he was mentally exhausted, Chu Chen leaned against the bed and fell asleep after a while.
Chu Chen was woken up by the kiss.
The man's eyes were dark red, and his strong arms were placed on both sides of Chu Chen's body. The man kissed Chu Chen's lips again and again, his movements were gentle and affectionate.
Li Yu saw Chu Chen open his eyes and looked at him in a daze, like a little animal that had just opened its eyes. He couldn't help but chuckle, and then leaned forward to kiss Chu Chen's eyes.
He asked in a low voice: "Did you buy the flowers downstairs?"
"Hmm."
Chu Chen nodded vaguely, "To commemorate my mother."
Li Yu's movement stopped.
He responded in a low voice and hugged Chu Chen tightly.
Chu Chen blinked and gradually came to his senses: "Why did you come out? Do you want to do it?"
Since Li Ran's spirit had gotten better and better, the three personalities had gradually been able to communicate directly. This could be regarded as a sign of their peaceful coexistence. However, correspondingly, Li Yu, who had the lowest status, appeared less and less frequently, his time was always squeezed by Li Ran and Li Fen. Only occasionally when Li Yu couldn't hold it back, his spirit suddenly became stronger, so he was able to overwhelm the other two.
At this moment, Li Yu would instinctively look for Chu Chen to do that.
Chu Chen was almost used to it.
However, this time, Li Yu shook his head and just said: "I'll stay with you."
He turned over and lay next to Chu Chen. Chu Chen came over and lay on top of Li Yu. He closed his eyes and could hear Li Yu's heartbeat - thump, thump, one after another, steady and powerful.
The body temperatures of the two people gradually matched.
Chu Chen suddenly asked: "Will you disappear?"
"Um?"
"I have guessed..."
Chu Chen paused, as if hesitating whether to speak out his thoughts or not, but before he could speak, as if knowing what Chu Chen thought, Li Yu said, "I probably know what you are thinking now."
Chu Chen looked up at Li Yu.
Li Yu said: "I will not leave. I'm indeed the product of his desire, but we're different from ordinary personalities. Other multiple personalities also have different names, ages, hobbies, and thoughts, , but they feel that they are not the same person, and most of them have no common memories, but we're different."
"When Li Ran was a child, after having the second personality Li Fen, he was able to communicate with Li Fen. Later, his mental riot broke out, and this communication was interrupted. But now, because his spirit is getting better, we can also establish a short communication platform in our minds. "
"We have never denied that we are Li Ran."
He said, "My name was given by you, and Li Fen's name was given by himself, they are just for distinction, not something we're born with. Because we are not others, but a part of Li Ran. In other words, only when the three of us are together, Li Ran can be considered a truly complete person. "
This was the first time Chu Chen heard such an explanation.
He digested it for a moment: "I didn't say that you are not the same person, I just have a lot of doubts. For example, I thought that you are one of his obsessions, then when he completes that obsession by himself, your mission is accomplished. "
Li Yu said, "That was indeed the case at the beginning. If this obsession ended the first time I was created, then maybe I would disappear, but..."
He looked at Chu Chen.
Chu Chen: "?"
Li Yu whispered: "But you gave me a name."
"It's you."
"You have made me become real, a complete person. Now I have my own name, my own thoughts, my own emotions, but these are all gained gradually after I had a name."
