You are, after all, my joy that I cannot hide. — Su Xiangli
Day one of impersonating that guy, ah, the first night. First, I have to go to his house.
Following the navigation into the residential area, I could feel the strength of this body. It started to jog, which was definitely not my conscious will. That guy is always so energetic.
Running so fast, the wind whistled past my ears, and my body's posture was very natural. I felt like there was another soul inside this flesh, like a steel skeleton supporting this ethereal fur. I loved the feeling of that guy running, an infinite power surging out, and I felt a slight warmth all over.
The world in that guy's eyes was so clear, with distinct colors and sharp outlines. I crossed a small lawn, scattered landscape rocks, iron railings, and pavilions, all with ease. They were clearly dangerous movements, but they were so effortless; my heart in my chest didn't even beat an extra half-time.
It's different, truly different. That guy's brain is amazing. In a trance, I saw clouds surrounding me, and the city's tall buildings came alive. They were telling me about their experiences. The residential buildings said they had twenty floors, one underground, eighty-three meters tall, and how the people on a certain floor had bad manners. The short, stout neighborhood committee building emitted a muddled voice, all irrelevant nonsense, accompanied by the clatter of mahjong tiles.
In this body's view, the world is alive.
Ah, I really want to know what I look like in that guy's eyes.
Unconsciously, I arrived home. That person's house, found by the body itself.
It's unexpectedly simple.
When I entered, my younger brother greeted me, 'Zhu Wa!' It was the same as ten years ago. This old machine had a slight smell of engine oil and coolant, not strong.
The living room was brightly lit. A little girl in a long green gauze dress skipped over, 'Big Brother is back! What did you chat about with Big Sister-in-law?'
I was stunned. Big Sister-in-law… was she talking about me?
How touching. No, bah, bah, bah, Simon, you're dreaming!
The little girl held my hand. That person's palm was broad, and when he held hands, he could completely envelop this little sister's hand. There was a real sense of warmth, just like when he held my hand.
'Big Brother, tell me, did Big Sister-in-law say any embarrassing things to you?'
'No!' I blurted out. How could I say anything embarrassing? It would be more like that guy. That guy is a scoundrel. Wait, he's so bad, yet he's never said anything mushy to me!
Su Su was furious.
My little sister said dinner was at six, so I had ten minutes to search that guy's bedroom. Hehe, a small house has its advantages; I easily found his room.
The simulation pod stood upright by the bed, like a Vampire's coffin, so abrupt. On the bedside table were a VR headset and operating finger sleeves.
Electronic devices crowded the desk.
On the desk was a laptop, and a set of off-white desktop computers, with a curved screen in the middle and extended screens on both sides. The lock screen of the boot interface was an aerial photo of Norway's Geirangerfjord.
In addition, there were some scattered small ornaments, some 3D printed, mostly cartoon figures, and some handmade, like resin landscapes, clay animals, and wood-carved plants.
It truly had a very homely feel.
I unlocked the computer with a fingerprint, and the projector cast a pale purple virtual keyboard onto the desktop, surrounded by a circle of mini assassin dolls.
He's a very interesting guy.
I wasn't surprised; this Xiao Kang Renjia had a whole display cabinet full of handmade toys he'd given me.
The computer mostly contained engineering files and unfinished drafts. Other than that, it was very clean, without the vulgar things my roommates talked about. I was a little disappointed. Could that guy be abnormal?
I remembered the physiology class in elementary school. I secretly snuck into the restroom…
D area.
I was wrong. I miss my own body so much!
My little sister ran back and forth in the living room, shouting loudly, 'Dinner's ready! Big Brother, dinner's ready! Mom, dinner's ready! Big Sister, dinner's ready!'
Like a little loudspeaker, I also wanted a little sister. That guy was so lucky. Coming out of the bedroom and into the kitchen, my younger brother had already tidied the square dining table. The dishes were simple: two hot dishes, one cold plate, and a large bowl of pork rib and kelp soup.
That guy's mother came out of the study, as did his two younger sisters, twins, but easily distinguishable: the younger one was always chattering, and the older one was always frowning.
I reached out and pressed my second sister's forehead, trying to smooth her serious brow. I failed; the little girl looked at me coldly. But she was even cuter. A surge of affection welled up in my heart; this was that guy's emotion.
Mother came over and sat at the head of the table. I sat on her left, my second sister sat opposite me, and my youngest sister leaned against me, her chair pulled tightly.
Halfway through dinner, Mother finally couldn't help but ask, 'Kang Kang, why are you so polite today? You're eating so cautiously.'
I was nervous, what else could it be? 'Mom, I'm not very hungry.'
Sun Hui's expression softened, 'You ate out, didn't you? Did you have fun today? Your little girlfriend didn't complain about you, did she?'
'No, how could she? She's so good, always so gentle, and pretty and cute, and generous and kind, always thinking of me…' Blah, blah, blah, I said a lot shamelessly.
My youngest sister covered her ears, 'Big Brother, you've said all this so many times. My ears are going to get calluses.'
I was shocked. Meow, meow, meow, Simon, you're so shameless! How can you say such things so openly to your family? Why… why don't you say them to me?
Ms. Sun Hui gently covered her mouth, smiling as brightly as a flower. Ah, such a gentle mother-in-law. I was a little secretly pleased, but for some reason, a sad melancholy welled up in my heart.
'Didn't Dad come home?' I asked involuntarily.
My second sister suddenly looked up from her rice bowl, 'Dad is working overtime, Big Brother. Don't ask so many questions, just eat quickly.'
A sudden, electric-like pang of pain shot through my stomach, fleeting but undoubtedly real. Was this body in discomfort? No way, why would it be like this when his father was mentioned? Could it be a family misfortune, did Xiao Lu lose his father?
Mother lowered her head and began to eat. My youngest sister, however, showed no reaction, still happily giggling. It seemed like it shouldn't be anything major. Perhaps that guy's father was injured? It didn't seem like it.
Or did he cause trouble? Maybe.
After dinner, Mother asked me to take my two younger sisters for a walk. That was fine; I loved walking when I was little. In the big garden in the courtyard, there were surprises all four seasons. I even had a secret base in the backyard.
Walking along, I secretly looked at Simon's phone files.
So many portraits, all of me! All kinds of looks, ancient costumes, Western dresses, technological gadgets, under the flowers and moon, by the riverbank under the trees, in the city's rainy night, and outside the flower shop in the afternoon, a boy presenting a bouquet to a girl.
He never showed me any of these! Hmph, selfish!
After the walk, I went to the bathroom to shower. That guy's body was supported by strong muscles. On weekdays, he looked quite thin, but who was that muscular fatty in the mirror?
Disgusting. I need to email him and scold him.
19:21 'Su Shi Gaodian: You're so ugly.'
19:22 'Xiao Kang Renjia: You're the ugly one, flat-chested and evil, nyah nyah nyah.'
Su Su was furious!
