With a Door In Mind - Chapter 1 , countdown

Huizhou

Anshi

There were four people sitting at the dining table happily eating, and a four-year-old child was sitting on the sofa next to him, watching TV while eating.

"Xiao Chuan, you're not too young anymore. It's time to get married, right? Your second aunt told you to introduce someone to you so that you can take a look this week."

A middle-aged woman glanced at her eldest son and daughter-in-law, and then said to another younger son who was sitting next to him eating quietly.

"Mom, I don't know how long I can live... just don't hurt people."

Hearing the words, Jiang Xiaochuan replied without raising his head.

Mother heard this with anger in her eyes, "What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't your illness already cured?"

"Mom, I've said it all, I'm not sick, you have to believe it. Forget it, you can eat, I'm full..." Jiang Xiaochuan slowly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and said lightly.

"You..." Looking at Jiang Xiaochuan who was walking towards his room, his mother was angry.

"Mom, it's alright, don't rush him, don't rush him, let him get sick again..." The elder brother saw his mother getting angry, and the impatient daughter-in-law next to him, so he quickly persuaded him.

Hearing this, my mother choked for a while and didn't say any more.

After eating hastily...they went back to their respective houses.

Li Mingyue, who returned to her room, glanced at her husband, and then said slowly, "Minghai, why don't you ask Mom to come out with some money, pay Xiaochuan a down payment, and let him move out?"

Jiang Minghai, who was sitting next to him and looked at his phone, paused for a while when he heard this. Then he continued to play with the phone in his hand without speaking.

Seeing that the husband beside him didn't speak, Li Mingyue frowned. Then he said, "Minghai, this is not the way to go. My relatives and friends say that my brother-in-law is crazy, and they don't want to interact with me."

When Jiang Minghai heard his wife's words, he said displeasedly, "Mingyue, as I said, my brother is not crazy. Have you ever seen such a normal neurosis?"

"A normal person would say that he won't live long? A normal person would say that there is a door in his mind, and a normal person would say that he has a countdown in his mind?"

Li Mingyue sneered at him.

"I..." Jiang Minghai, who was originally righteous, was speechless when he heard this. I can only explain, "Hasn't he done anything out of the ordinary?"

"Yeah, it's not out of line, but don't you feel depressed every now and then?"

Jiang Minghai "..."

After a while, he said slowly, "Dad died early, and the family has no money."

After hearing this, Li Mingyue stopped talking.

Indeed, my father-in-law had lung cancer a few years ago, which made the family that was not very wealthy even more difficult.

If this house was not bought before my father-in-law died, this three-bedroom house may not be affordable now.

On the other side, the mother who was coaxing her grandson was also absent-minded.

Her son is already twenty-eight... She is not married and has no house. How can she not be in a hurry.

Jiang Xiaochuan was lying on the bed, "listening" to the words of his elder brother and sister-in-law, and "seeing" his mother's sad face in his mind. Pain flashed in his eyes.

Feeling that the countdown in his mind, Jiang Xiaochuan is already very dull.

4:21:29. Only four hours left.

Indeed, anyone who has watched this for 20 years will become very calm.

It's just that as time passed, he gradually developed a feeling of fear.

Jiang Xiaochuan didn't tell his mother and his brother that he could "see" and hear conversations and scenes within a ten-meter radius.

I don't want them to be frightened anymore.

Suppressing the fear and irritability in his heart, he rolled over and sat up.

"No matter what happens tomorrow, I should leave something for Mom and the others. Even if I'm gone, I'll let them live and breathe."

After thinking about it for a while, I can't help my eldest brother find an iron job at work.

There is nothing left for them except money.

Over the years, he has also helped a certain department solve several cases through his own abilities. A total of 600,000 rewards were obtained. This money cannot make the eldest brother rich, at least it can ease the pressure on the family.

Then he sat on his desk and picked up a pen and paper.

Thinking about the little things over the years, I started to write it down on paper, including my bank card and password, all written in the letter.

Two hours passed, and the three letters were full of writing. Jiang Xiaochuan put the letter on the table.

Then I thought about it and pressed it with a book. If nothing happened after the night, the letter would be useless.

After he was done, he walked out of the room and looked at his mother, whose hair had already turned white, and Jiang Xiaochuan felt heartbroken for a while.

When I was eight years old, I found the door in my mind and the countdown began. I had been in a daze all these years, and the death of my father five years ago had brought a heavy blow to my mother.

"Mom, let's do it. Talk to your second aunt tomorrow. I'll go see that girl this Sunday. That's all."

Jiang Xiaochuan smiled and comforted his mother.

Hearing his words, the originally lifeless mother was instantly surprised.

He said happily, "Really? Don't force it? Otherwise, your second aunt will be embarrassed."

"Oh, Mom, you see I promised you, but you still don't believe me? Have you seen me lie to you over the years?"

"That's right... My good son has never lied to Mom..."

"Then I'll call your second aunt now to let her know." When the mother heard his assurance, she murmured about making a call.

Jiang Xiaochuan hurriedly stopped, "Mom, don't call today~www.novelbuddy.com~ Let's call tomorrow, anyway, there are four days until Sunday, it's still early."

"Besides, what time is it? It's almost eleven o'clock. Second aunt is going to bed too."

When my mother heard this, she felt that she was too anxious, but there was nothing she could do. Could you not be in a hurry? My child has pushed countless blind dates over the years because of mental problems.

It was the rare first time that he took the initiative to go on a blind date, so she would definitely seize the opportunity.

Seeing that my mother was sure not to call, I felt relieved.

Then the mother and son started chatting together. Time passed in an hour.

After the chat was over, the mother went to bed with the sleeping grandson.

After taking a shower, he returned to his room. Jiang Xiaochuan locked the door and lay on the bed.

Lying on the bed, watching the countdown, tears flowed silently down his cheeks.

Thinking about the lack of communication with my parents before. I really regret it.

Time stood still at the last moment.

Suddenly the door in my mind opened, revealing a dazzling white light.

He tried hard to see the situation behind the door, but he couldn't see it clearly, and even his usual ability to try and fail was ineffective.

Suddenly Jiang Xiaochuan felt lighter.

To be precise, his body was pulled towards the door.

At this moment, he had been depressed all the time, and suddenly he felt a burst of relief in his heart.

There were waves of sleepiness in my mind. Jiang Xiaochuan felt that maybe he would never wake up from this sleep.

...maybe really relieved.
