Seven years after my death, the male protagonist of the substitute novel was criticized

Chapter 7 You're Really Crazy

Life-size portrait? Lin Lu was still pondering over the word when Pei Yizhou grabbed Xu Jiayan's clothes and dragged him out of the door.

The door slammed shut, and his wildly beating heart calmed down a little. He looked at Xu Jiayan with a sullen face.

"Why are you here all of a sudden? Why don't you call me if you have something to say?"

Xu Jiayan came back to his senses: "That requires you to be able to answer the phone and reply to messages, brother. Why, you don't want me to know that you are so perverted? Your reaction is as quick as that of a teenage boy who reads magazines randomly, and you have locked yourself out. Don't worry, as long as you can recover your physical and mental health, I can convince myself to accept your perversion. But-"

He sighed again and advised: "Why don't you use a more normal method and find someone to start a new relationship. Hey, hey, hey, I know you don't want to hear it, but you have to consider yourself..."

"Okay, let's talk about it." Pei Yizhou was worried that Lin Lu would open the door and come out at any time. If the two of them met and said they hadn't seen each other for nine years, all the lies would be exposed.

In Xu Jiayan's mind, Lin Lu was a person who had been dead for seven years. Time travel was not a matter of the dead traveling through time, and it was hard to say who would be frightened to faint first.

He was thinking quickly in his mind, and he stood in front of the door. His tall figure blocked the door handle tightly, and he reached behind his back to grab the door handle.

Xu Jiayan saw that his reaction was a bit extreme, and looked at him. This time he was really shocked by his condition, frowned and asked: "What have you been doing at home this week? Do you see a psychologist regularly? Yizhou, you are in a very bad state."

"Nothing." Knowing that he was genuinely concerned, Pei Yizhou's tone softened, and he pinched his brows and said, "I want to take a break recently. You can discuss the company's affairs with Ning Yi. If you have any questions, contact me by phone. For product matters, please contact Ding Zitong directly."

"Then are you still going to Antarctica?" Xu Jiayan asked.

Pei Yizhou paused and said, "I won't go for now."

Xu Jiayan looked at him and nodded slowly: "Alright, it's not suitable for you to go again. Then you should take a rest for a while and remember to see a psychologist regularly."

"Okay." Pei Yizhou dealt with him, and when he saw him about to leave, he suddenly stopped him and asked, "By the way, let me ask you something. Do you know someone named Duan Chengyu?"

Xu Jiayan repeated the pronunciation of the name, shook his head and said, "I don't remember. Why, are you looking for cooperation again? Or are you a second-hand information dealer?"

"No. Are you sure you don't know this person, and you haven't heard Ding Zitong mention him?"

"No. From what you said, you are the same R&D personnel as Ding Zitong? Let me ask Ding Zitong and tell you when I find out." Xu Jiayan was ready to leave after saying a few words, and he lowered his head to look at his watch, as if he was in a hurry.

Pei Yizhou was suffering from a headache and was in low spirits. His brain was confused and he didn't pay much attention to things that had nothing to do with Lin Lu. He watched him walk halfway down the corridor, then turned around and opened the door with confidence.

Lin Lu was sitting in the living room in a daze. When he heard the door open, he ran over and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Did you tell Brother Jiayan about me? Does he not believe it? I saw his eyes were so wide, he must be very shocked."

Pei Yizhou closed the door with his backhand and soothed her gently: "I haven't said much yet. Not everyone can answer..."

Just as the door was about to close, it was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Xu Jiayan came back and squeezed in.

"I knew something was wrong with you! Only a sick person would put a life-size standee at home. And this is not a standee at all, it blinks and moves! Pei Yizhou, are you so drunk you've lost your mind to do this? When you sober up, even a steel wool won't be able to clean it!" He came in and started yelling, his speech as fast and rapid as a machine gun.

Lin Lu blinked blankly. Just as the words "Brother Jiayan" were about to come to her lips, Xu Jiayan pointed his spear at her again: "Who are you? Did you come to me on your own initiative or did he force you when he was drunk..." "Xu Jiayan!" Pei Yizhou's temples were throbbing. He interrupted him harshly, but he covered Lin Lu's ears in time.

She couldn't hear what was said afterwards because she was persuaded to go back to the bedroom, where a door separated her from the two people outside.

She leaned against the bedroom door, put her ear against the door panel and listened carefully, but the sound insulation of the door was quite good and she could not hear anything.

After eavesdropping to no avail, Lin Lu returned to the bed and sat down, his brows knitted and his expression thoughtful.

Although the time travel was indeed incredible, Pei Yizhou's reaction was too extreme. If she couldn't meet and talk to people she knew, what would she do in the future? Would she really stay at home every day? Impossible, she needed personal freedom, and she still had to find Duan Chengyu.

Looks like I need to talk to him again.

In the living room, Pei Yizhou and Xu Jiayan spoke in lower and lower voices, each of them suppressing their emotions.

Xu Jiayan withdrew his gaze from the bedroom door, his eyes full of disbelief: "Where did you find this person? He looks too much like Lin Lu, and he is as young as Lin Lu was back then, and looks like a student. It seems that you said you don't like to play the substitute game, but it's just because the person is not similar enough!"

Pei Yizhou had a splitting headache and pressed his temple without saying anything for the time being. He needed to think about how to minimize the consequences of this matter.

Xu Jiayan didn't get an answer. His thoughts wandered from the three-lane mirage to the Mariana Trench. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but his eyes widened even more.

"No, there can't be someone who looks that much like her. Did she have plastic surgery? It's not like no one knows about your and Lin Lu's moving story. It's a good deal to spend a few million on a face-lift to get close to a first-generation rich like you... Wait, it's impossible that you asked someone to have plastic surgery, right? Just to miss someone by looking at them? I knew that sooner or later you would embark on the path of substitute literature. But that face is quite natural. If I didn't know that Lin Lu had already... I would probably have made a mistake. It's no wonder you're crazy. If Ding Zitong was here, she might have..."

"She is Lin Lu." Pei Yizhou said calmly.

Xu Jiayan ignored this sentence as if he was listening to someone bragging: "You are crazy but I am not. How can I not know whether she is Lin Lu?"

Pei Yizhou said calmly, "She is Lin Lu. She looks exactly like Lin Lu. She brought all her memories before the age of 18. She found No. 18 Jingning Road from Donghu Park. She was wearing the orange jacket she was wearing when she disappeared. She said she just dozed off and woke up now. The company makes polar search and rescue products. You should have heard that Antarctica is a frequent site of mysterious events. There are many things in the world that cannot be explained by science. This is normal."

Xu Jiayan opened his mouth but couldn't think of what to say. The two thoughts in his mind, "Pei Yizhou must be crazy" and "What movie is the plot of time traveling to Antarctica from?" were entangled and almost tangled.

After a moment, he said with certainty: "You are really crazy."

Pei Yizhou didn't care whether he believed it or not. He stared at him with a heavy gaze. With the dark circles under his eyes, he looked a little gloomy. "She only has memories before she was 18. She doesn't remember Antarctica, she doesn't remember disappearing... and she doesn't remember what happened between us. Don't let it slip. She can't be provoked."

This is a one-sided view that has not been verified by the parties involved, but he can no longer bear the possible consequences of Lin Lu being stimulated.

"Remember? She traveled to the present, nine years later. The coat was bought on the day she disappeared. Nothing strange happened that day. Don't mention anything that happened after she turned eighteen, including what happened between her and me. Repeat these words to Ding Zitong."

　Xu Jiayan: Oh my god, my family, I have just gotten used to the days when my friend’s widower was surrounded by gossips, how come he went crazy just because he said he was crazy?
