Rubik's Cube Seven Days Dream

Xu Minglang pinched the photo tightly, trembling all over, unaware that a person walked into the living room.

"Brother?" Zhou Xuerong stood by the door and called him.

Xu Minglang froze in place, like a still frame.

Zhou Xuerong rushed over, snatched the photo from him, put the photo into the frame with his back turned, and frantically screwed the screw.

"......what is that?"

Zhou Xuerong's back froze for a moment: "...Huh?"

"Is that a portrait?"

Zhou Xuerong immediately lowered his head and turned a deaf ear, flushed out the photo of the two together, and put the crystal photo frame back up.His silence made Xu Minglang feel fear from the bottom of his heart, he felt like he was standing in an extremely cold ice cave, waiting to melt with the ice and snow.

"That's Xue Yingying's photo, right? What happened to her? What happened to her?!" Xu Minglang roared.

Zhou Xuerong was grabbed by the collar and hung his head, like a huge teddy bear, no matter how Xu Minglang shook and beat him, he didn't respond at all.

This weird way of coping further confirmed Xu Minglang's guess.If Yingying in this world passed away, would Yingying in the real world also...

He dared not think about it any longer.

How much he wanted to assume that all this was a dream, but dreams would not be so real.Everything here is more like a parallel time and space, and the most different thing from the reality he is in is Zhou Xuerong's participation.

In this dream world, Zhou Xuerong permeates almost every part of his life, from childhood to college, their lives are closely intertwined.

Xu Minglang scratched his arm, using the pain to maintain his concentration.He suddenly thought of a point that he had never noticed before. Every time he entered this dream, it was after the "game" was over, and there seemed to be a certain order in this dream.

When he passed out in the supermarket, he once went back to the alley of his hometown. The boy he met at that time, in retrospect, was Zhou Xuerong when he was a child.After that, after he came out of the Summer Kingdom, he dreamed that he and Zhou Xuerong were living together in college, and they went to meet Yingying together.At that time, he didn't know what role Xue Yingying played between them. It wasn't until after he came out of the hospital that he dreamed back to his childhood that he realized that in this parallel world, the three of them grew up in the same compound.

But even after clarifying the timeline of the dream, he still felt absurd. He clearly remembered that the last time he had a dream was in this house. The time on the calendar was August 2014, 8, and it was still on summer vacation.

In other words, Xue Yingying passed away in less than three months?

...how is this possible?

"How did Yingying... leave? What happened to her? Tell me, okay!" Xu Minglang was almost begging Zhou Xuerong.

When Zhou Xuerong raised his head again, his face was already stained with tears. He shook his head lightly, and whispered, "Brother, don't do this, I'm afraid."

"No..." Xu Minglang understood that the other party had misunderstood him, and he might have thought he was suffering from hysteria, so he quickly said, "I don't know how to explain it, anyway, I'm not Xu Minglang in your world, I don't have his memory, So I need you to tell me."

"Brother, you, don't scare me, I really can't stand it, if you are sad, hit me, beat me and scold me, just don't hurt yourself like this..."

"I said I'm not crazy!!" Xu Minglang shouted until his face flushed, he covered his eyes to calm himself down, and said in a trembling voice, "I really... really just want to know what happened What......"

Before he finished speaking, he fell into a solid embrace, and he closed his eyes, as if this chest was the final residence of his soul.

The two distraught figures cuddled together, silent for a moment.After a while, Zhou Xuerong said with a choked voice: "During Golden Week, the three of us went to Huashan to play, remember?"

"Huashan?"

"Yeah." Zhou Xuerong tightened his embrace again, "We climbed Huashan Mountain at night and watched the sunrise. We planned to go down the mountain, but Miss Yingying still had more ideas and wanted to go down. Later, when we reached the long sky plank road, she suddenly said that I would Play, I don’t want to play that, because I’m afraid of heights, so I refused. My brother also said that he felt safe and insecure, and then...you also know that sister Yingying is sometimes very stubborn, as long as it’s something she decides , we must do it... and then..."

Xu Minglang tightened the cloth on Zhou Xuerong's back: "What happened next?"

"There are two strands of safety rope on tourists. If you want to go forward, you must take one and hang the other. You must not take both. I also know how much passenger flow is during the Golden Week. The plank road is full of people, maybe Yingying My sister didn't have time to hang the rope, and was squeezed by someone..."

The tears from the embankment wet Zhou Xuerong's clothes, Xu Minglang buried his face in his chest, his stomach convulsed violently, and there was a feeling of wanting to vomit, but it was just a hallucination, the pain that could not be vented was all stuck in his throat, and finally exploded into a Weeping silently.

He didn't understand why he was so sad.He told himself that this was just a dream, and Xue Yingying was still alive in reality.But he was as heart-piercing as if he had actually experienced all this.

I don't know how long this state lasted, until he had no strength left from crying, his hands and face were numb, and it was all thanks to Zhou Xuerong supporting him that he would not collapse.

Suddenly, he stopped crying, and his brain seemed to forcibly turn off the switch called "sadness". He was enlightened and muttered words.

"Sky Plank Road, Huashan, 2014 Golden Week..."

What Zhou Xuerong said was so familiar, he almost forgot that he had indeed climbed Huashan Mountain with Xue Yingying during the Golden Week in 2014, but it was only the two of them.

At that time, Yingying seemed to have proposed to play the long sky plank road, but he was really exhausted, sitting on the rock and panting for breath, and he was a little afraid of heights, so he refused, but unexpectedly, he got the other party's bad intentions laugh at.

He still remembers the scene when he raised his head.Xue Yingying was against the light, with the orange sun rising behind her, and the pine trees around her figure were black as a silhouette. His eyes were stinging, and his chest was filled with inexplicable sorrow, and he was about to shed tears.

Then he heard Yingying say with a smile: "Qinglang, you are not afraid of heights, are you?"

He is too aware of Yingying's provocative method, and he has long been immune to it. He still remembers how he answered it.

"It's too dangerous. We got up so early to climb the mountain. We are already tired, and there are so many people. What if we accidentally fall down? Listen to me, don't play with that."

Although Yingying has a boyish temper, she really likes his soft tactics, and finally she went down the mountain with him, saying that she would kill him severely after going down the mountain, and ordered a bunch of food at a restaurant near the scenic spot.

But in this world, he didn't stop her, he didn't even accompany her, but let her play high-risk projects by herself, and finally there was no bones left.

He finally knew why he in this world drank all day long.

Because he blamed himself.If he in this world can stop Yingying, she won't die...

Thinking of this, Xu Minglang got goose bumps all over his body.

My God... This looks like a real world with causality changed.

In this world, Grandpa Zhou didn't have a wife, so Zhou Xuerong was taken to Beijing, and he and Yingying grew up together, and the three of them became childhood sweethearts.

Before the college entrance examination, Zhou Xuerong confessed to himself, and he accepted, Zhou Xuerong also passed the entrance examination in Binhai as scheduled, and they lived together.Then the three went to Huashan together.

All because a butterfly in South America flapped its wings a few times, and it laid an index for a tornado on the other side of the world.A chain detonation ensued.

Everything here is so realistic, the sky outside the window is covered with clouds, the air is the coolness of early autumn, and the smell of air freshener, his five senses are fully mobilized, and every detail tells him how realistic it all is.

"Where is this place? Tell me it's just a dream! Tell me it's not real!" Xu Minglang wailed, he was really confused, because he didn't know what standard should be used to judge here and that heavy snow In the world of every now and then, which one is the reality?

Who will tell him? !

"Brother, don't be like this. What's wrong with you?" Zhou Xuerong shook him, his face pale with fright.

Xu Minglang just kept holding his head, feeling as if his brain was going to explode, his temples throbbing.In order to suppress the pain, he kept hitting his head, trying to stop the pain, and stopped thinking.
