Chapter 17
Lin Rui glanced at Lin Yuan from the inside rearview mirror. Her face had been very pale and a bit distracted. Lin Rui said displeasedly, "Miss Yu, it's not a good thing to have the same name as a dead person. Is it worth talking about? Moreover, it's unlucky to always mention the name of a dead person, especially someone who died naturally."
Yu Qin smiled and said, "You're really superstitious. What's wrong with this? Are you afraid?"
Lin Rui said coldly, "You're not afraid, so naturally some people are afraid. Please consider others' feelings."
Yu Qin only then realized that Lin Yuan's expression was very unusual. He quickly stroked her shoulder and said, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Lin Yuan's eyes looked out the car window and she murmured, "It's really very similar..."
"Lin Yuan, what are you talking about?" Yu Qin asked, her voice slightly raised.
Lin Yuan closed her eyes, and the scene she had seen that day emerged again. When there was a "bang", she felt a vibration under her feet. She looked down and saw her own face.
There was a person who looked exactly like her. Her eyes stared at her. Her eyes were first surprised, then turned to unwilling and angry, as if she owed her something
"Xiao Yuan!" Lin Rui suddenly stopped the car and looked at Lin Yuan from the inside rearview mirror, saying, "Why are you so scared?"
Lin Yuan turned around and looked at Lin Rui from the mirror, his face flashing with a caring expression.
Lin Yuan lowered her head and whispered, "It's nothing."
Lin Rui was a bit impatient and wanted to say something more. A traffic police officer walked over and said, "Don't you know the traffic rules? You can't park here!"
After finishing speaking, Lin Yuan issued a ticket and said somewhat regretfully, "Brother, I'm sorry."
Lin Rui remained silent and started the car to leave. Yu Qin looked at Lin Yuan and Lin Rui, feeling that the siblings were really strange.
When they arrived at Lin Yuan's house, Lin Rui helped bring Yu Qin's luggage into the room and left. Yu Qin said, "Lin Yuan, I see your brother treats you very well as if he cares about you very much. Oh, if only my brother Yu Miao could be like Lin Rui!"
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and didn't answer.
Yu Qin looked at the decorations in the room and said, "You've been living here since you left school. I don't think anything has changed."
"I've gotten used to it," Lin Yuan said lightly, but suddenly remembered and asked, "You used to only return home occasionally during the Chinese New Year. What's the reason for coming back this time?"
"I miss you!" Yu Qin's expression flickered slightly, and Lin Yuan could feel that she had something she didn't want to share, so she stopped asking.
Yu Qin walked into the bedroom and stood in front of the dressing mirror to take a photo. Today, she was wearing a lotus collar chiffon shirt, paired with a denim skirt, and her swaying ponytail looked lively and cute.
Lin Yuan also walked in, her eyes scanning the mirror, only to see a woman with long hair draped over her shoulders and wearing a red dress.
The water cup in his hand clanged and fell to the ground. Yu Qin turned back in surprise and said, "What's wrong?"
The image in the mirror disappeared, and Lin Yuan rubbed her forehead and squatted down to clean the ground.
Yu Qin walked over and said, "Lin Yuan, how do I feel when I come back this time? You're a bit restless. Did something happen?"
Lin Yuan sighed and said, "Since the person in the newspaper fell in front of me, I've been a bit dazed. Maybe it's just because of poor sleep."
"Is there such a thing?" Yu Qin said in surprise, "No wonder when I mentioned this news at the airport, your face was so pale."
Lin Yuan nodded and said, "I have already seen a psychologist. Fortunately, the situation is not serious."
Yu Qin smiled and blurted out, "You're just studying psychology..."
But seeing Lin Yuan's expression stiffen a bit, Yu Qin didn't continue, but said, "I'm so tired. I want to lie down and sleep for a while. Don't call me if you have anything to do, let me sleep until I wake up naturally."
Lin Yuan said, "Don't you eat something before you go to sleep?"
Yu Qin shook her head and lay down directly on the bed.
Lin Yuan sat on the sofa and remembered what Yu Qin had said. Yes, her major in college was indeed applied psychology, but she did not graduate.
The Applied Psychology program at XXX University requires internships to be arranged starting from the sophomore year, and Lin Yuan's first internship was arranged at a mental hospital.
On that day, the sunshine was actually very good. When Lin Yuan walked into the snow-white room, it was filled with sunshine. In the sunshine, a figure walked towards her. He was very tall and somewhat thin, and Lin Yuan couldn't see his face clearly. She just opened her eyes wide, watching him get closer and closer. She wanted to see his appearance clearly, but in the end, there was only darkness and a faint fragrance in the darkness.
Lin Yuan didn't know what had happened, but she heard that a mentally ill person had escaped while she was expelled from school.
During that period, only Yu Qin was by her side. To be precise, Yu Qin and Lin Yuan could only be considered alumni in college because Yu Qin was not majoring in psychology, her major was Chinese language and literature.
Yu Qin was classmates in high school. She was a transfer student, and the seat next to Lin Yuan happened to be empty, so they became desk mates. Later, they were admitted to the same university.
Lin Yuan recalled the past and soon felt sleepy, leaning against the sofa and falling asleep.
In the darkness, someone stomped their foot and woke up the voice control lights. Lin Yuan found herself standing in a strange corridor, with dim yellow lights shining down from the corner on the stairs.
There is a big number "4" on the wall in front of me, with one household on each side. There is a person standing in front of the doors of 401 on the left and 402 on the right. His back is very familiar, it is his brother Lin Rui.
The door opened and a woman stood at the door, with long hair draped over her shoulders, a pale face, crimson lips, and a bright red dress that looked very alluring.
Lin Rui walked into the room, but the door was not closed. Lin Yuan stood outside, unsure whether to enter.
After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan walked to the door and heard her brother say, "This hairpin, since Lin Yuan likes it, please quote directly, don't waste time."
Hairpin? Is the jade hairpin owned by this woman? How did my brother know about the hairpin and even came here to buy it for me?
The woman smiled "hehe" without speaking, and Lin Rui said, "What do you want?"
Lin Yuan still wanted to hear what they were saying, but after a long time, she didn't hear any sound. She curiously leaned in and saw that there was no one in the living room, and her brother and the woman were gone.
Lin Yuan walked into the living room and whispered, "Brother, are you there?"
The room was completely silent, with two rooms on one side of the living room, one large and one small, and the other side having a kitchen and bathroom.
