prisoner of time

Yan Tuo was so frightened that he threw the bulky information book out.

"Please." He said sternly, "Change back, I'm afraid of this thing."

But Shi Yan thinks that his frightened appearance is very delicious - his lover has been indifferent to him for many days, since he suddenly quarreled with him that day, these days he has not smiled at him or talked to him, Not active when making out... It's not the same as before, anyway he is not happy.

He was satisfied with Yan Tuo's appearance at this time, so he decided: "Okay, today will be like this."

The black giant snake entangled the young man, with its neck raised high, like a proud ruler over everything, suppressing his spoils, and falling down towards the bed while pressing on him...

The book thrown by Yan Tuo on the other side was turned over by the wind, and it recorded the time concept of ancient civilizations:

"...They think that time is circular, endless, and endless, and use snakes connected end to end as a symbol of this circular time..."

--------

Yan Tuo became cold, this is an obvious thing.

There is no second person in his world, so the only one who can feel this is Shi Jin.

If it wasn't for the love and intimacy in the "time" that was so long before, maybe Shi Yan wouldn't think there is any problem with it.After all, they still hug and make out, and they still embrace and fall asleep when Yan Tuo is sleepy. After all, he has never experienced such an intimate and entangled relationship before.

But those who have already enjoyed the top delicacies will not be satisfied with living on the food and clothing line.

"It's been a long time since you took the initiative to kiss me, and you never smiled at me again." Shi Jin sighed, hugged Yan Tuo from behind, and asked his lover, "Are you tired of me?".

Seeing that Yan Tuo didn't respond, he sighed again: "You haven't called me husband for a long time, and you haven't called me baby anymore. Do you have a bad relationship with anthropology? Do you want to break up with me? Divorce ?”

"Impossible." Before Yan Tuo could reply, he made a domineering conclusion on his own.

What is broken with anthropology, I am a human being, and we are not married at all, you don't even have an ID card and household registration book, you are not a legal successor of socialism.Yan Tuo opened his mouth, but finally closed it sullenly, without speaking.

He has tried countless times before, in various ways, hoping that the other party can let him return to the normal world, but they all failed.By now, he no longer wanted to waste his energy trying.

Shi Yan slowly showed a human figure and stuck behind Yan Tuo, put his head on Yan Tuo's shoulder, and looked at the book in his hand together with him.

It was a book that recorded the different perceptions of time in ancient civilizations, and it was the one that Yan Tuo threw out after being frightened by the snake.

"...are you interested in time?"

Yan Tuo didn't speak, but slowly turned over a page of the book.

He didn't know how to use "time" to measure the length of his stay at this moment. He only knew that he had been trapped in this moment for a long time, so long that he had learned all modern scientific knowledge through self-study, and began to stand The assumptions and experiments on time and space are carried out independently on the shoulders of the predecessors; for a long time, he has begun to read all kinds of whimsical ideas and mysterious theories that are difficult to explain from the ancients, hoping to get inspiration from them.

If you put him in a normal society now, people will be amazed by his profound knowledge and profound insights into science and philosophy.

Time is conscious.In other words, there is a consciousness that is closely connected with time.He is still not sure what time silence is, whether it is time itself.

This fact was beyond his previous cognition, and he couldn't find any reasonable, even barely plausible, explanation.

"What the hell are you?" He couldn't help leaning against Shi Yan's arms, and asked the question that had been lingering in his heart for a long time.

"I am your lover." Shi Yan kissed his forehead, "Just like Adam created Eve with his ribs, you are destined to be my lover. Don't think too much."

Ke Yantuo was obviously not satisfied with this answer.Just as he disliked the nonsensical myth that Adam created Eve out of his rib.

The lights in the library flickered, cast a flickering shadow on his body, and the tall wooden bookshelves cast a thick shadow, completely covering half of his body.

He has long been used to the empty library, this empty city, this empty country, this empty world, this empty December 31 at 23:59.

The light above his head flickered twice, at that moment Yan Tuo suddenly suspected the reason for his persistent desire to go back to the normal world.

Even if you go back, it will be different.

Time is static, but he is changing. Even if he goes back, he is no longer the Yan Tuo at 31:23 on December 59st.

The faces of relatives and friends have been blurred, and he doesn't even know how to face the current self, or fear to face the flowing, ever-forward world again.

He has been trapped in that moment on New Year's Eve, but he suddenly finds that he can never be the Yan Tuo at that moment on New Year's Eve.Even if he goes back to normal time, he's not the "normal" him anymore.

For a long time, the belief that "no matter what method is used, I must go back" and "I have a long 'time', I will definitely find a way to go back" has supported him to continue living in this empty city, even in loneliness and hopelessness. Gritting his teeth and persevering, constantly enriching himself and improving.

But suddenly this belief collapsed, and Yan Tuo began to doubt, is it really so good for him to return to the normal world?Is it really what he longed for?

He wasn't sure.

He trembled involuntarily.

Shi Yan turned his body around and saw deep sorrow and fragility hidden in those black eyes.That unease and sorrow had always been well hidden in the deepest part by his master, but it broke out at this moment.

Shi Jian was a little taken aback.He had never seen Yan Tuo like this, even when his lover was trying to please him or arguing hoarsely with him to return to normal time, Yan Tuo had never shown this in front of him.

Yan Tuo leaned against Shi Yan's arms in a daze, and slowly, he stopped trembling, he supported Shi Yan's shoulders to stand firm again, and those black eyes regained their calmness.

He leaned over and kissed Shi Yan's lips, and said softly: "The truth. If you can't leave here, at least let me know the truth."

"What do you want to know?"

"Who the hell are you?" Yan Tuo looked up at his invisible lover, "I want to know everything about you."

He wants to know the reason why he is trapped here, he wants to know the mystery of time, he wants to know everything... And he has subconsciously felt that all these are related to his partner——

The other party suddenly appeared in this empty world, appeared next to me, with an inextricable connection with "time", and accompanied me through the long and static years, and the suspicion of the instigator has not yet been removed... …his existence, his appearance, his actions, his motives, everything is an unknown mystery.

They were closer than any two people in the world, and he knew nothing about him.

He read so many materials and books about time, but all he got was a few words, even groundless guesses and unexplainable misunderstandings.Man has never really understood time, and he is one of them.

Without any emotional color, he didn't even know what the other party was.

Looking at his lover's black eyes, and looking at each other, Shi Yan sighed softly and compromised.

He held Yan Tuo's left hand to his heart, and whispered: "All the mysteries about me are here."

"I'll take you to see it."

"If you don't like this place so much, I'll take you away."

"Don't be unhappy."

The wind blew open the window of the library, blowing all the books spread out on the long table to the ground, the sound of rustling papers was heard quickly, and the second hand of the grandfather clock in the lobby moved extremely slightly, and the next second, magnificent The bell rang, resounding throughout the silent city——

The night is torn apart, the white light invades, the stars and the moon collapse, the tall buildings turn into smoke and sand, the grass and trees disappear into phantoms, and the sea and river return to infinity...

In an instant, everything collapsed and disappeared.

But for Yan Tuo and all living beings, even if we can escape this second, we can never escape "time".
