me and my cat both like you

Qu Mingnan had a horrible nightmare.

In the dream, he and Qin Suiyi were running away in a car on a narrow mountain road. The process was thrilling and exciting, but when their car was about to leave the mountain road, they were rear-ended and overturned off the cliff...

"what!"

Qu Mingnan was awakened by the nightmare. When he looked around in shortness of breath, he found that the surroundings were a vast expanse of whiteness, a familiar environment, and a familiar hospital.

"Nannan!"

"Nannan! You're awake!"

Nan Si Le rushed forward, very excited.

Qu Mingnan stared at Nan Sile with a bewildered look, and his brain was still awake for a while: "Why am I in the hospital? What happened?"

Nan Sile: "...you lost your memory again?"

Qu Mingnan rubbed his bluntly painful forehead, and suddenly remembered the car overturned scene in his dream. He gradually realized that it seemed that it was not just a dream.

Nan Sile cleared her throat, and was about to tell Qu Mingnan, but Qu Mingnan who was suddenly excited grabbed her hand: "Where's Qin Suiyi? Where's Zai Zai?"

"Qin Suiyi?" Nan Sile was stunned for a moment, "He woke up in the morning and left in a hurry, as if he was looking for someone..."

"Morning?" Hearing that Qin Suiyi was fine, Qu Mingnan breathed a sigh of relief, "When was I admitted to the hospital? How many days have I been in a coma?"

"Last night last night, you were in a coma for a long time," Nan Sile said immediately, "I received a call from Xiao Li early this morning, knowing that something happened to you, I flew over to see you immediately, you said I Is that enough buddy?"

"Yesterday? Then I haven't been in a coma for long." Qu Mingnan frowned slightly. He thought he had been in a coma for several days. "By the way, where is Zai Zai?"

"Zaizai? Is he with you?" Nan Sile wondered, "I didn't see him. When I came, I saw you and Qin Suiyi. Qin Suiyi woke up and left , now you are left alone."

"It's just the two of us? How is that possible! He was obviously in the same car as us at that time," Qu Mingnan threw off the quilt excitedly and got up from the bed. "Did you guys not find him? Could it be that he was thrown out?" gone?"

Nan Sile was taken aback by Qu Mingnan. He scratched his head: "I heard from Xiao Li that there were indeed only two of you in the car at the time. What's the matter with you? Why do you say there was another person? Qin Sui Yixing That's what he said when he came here, did he just go to find that child?"

Qu Mingnan immediately turned over and got out of bed: "I want to find him too!"

"Wait a minute, you just woke up!" Nan Sile reached out to stop Qu Mingnan, but he couldn't stop at all, "What if you pass out halfway!"

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm fine now," Qu Mingnan jumped on the spot a few times, "Don't tell me I had a car accident, I don't even know about it."

"It's weird," Nan Sile looked puzzled, "I heard that when you were first sent to the hospital, the doctor wondered why the two of you fell down from such a high cliff, and there was nothing serious except for a little trauma? What do you think? So fate?"

Qu Mingnan is also very strange. If the nightmare he had was real, when he and Qin Suiyi overturned the car, they fell directly off the cliff. Such a high cliff, even if they didn't die, they would at least lose their arms and legs. , However, except for a little pain in his forehead, he is basically fine.

However, he was more worried about Zai Zai's safety than wondering about it. He perfunctory Nan Sile with a few words, put on his clothes and prepared to go out, but was stopped by another barrier at the door.

Shen Wanru stood at the door, her figure was a bit precarious, her face was haggard, as if she had aged a dozen years overnight, seeing that Qu Mingnan was fine, her dim eyes suddenly brightened a little, she opened her mouth, but wanted to Stop talking.

"Ahem, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, so let's take a step first."

Seeing this, Nan Si Le immediately found a reason to disappear.

Shen Wanru looked at Qu Mingnan from afar, and hesitated to speak several times.

Qu Mingnan looked at Shen Wanru indifferently, waiting for Shen Wanru to take the initiative to speak.

Time passed by, and still no one took the initiative to speak to break the silence. Qu Mingnan's patience was finally exhausted, and he spoke.

"Please let it go."

Shen Wanru's lips trembled a few times: "I'm sorry..."

Qu Mingnan looked at Shen Wanru in surprise: "Are you still going to take the initiative to apologize to others in your life?"

Shen Wanru glanced at Qu Mingnan, her eyes seemed a little hurt.

"If you just want to talk about this, can I leave now? I'm in a hurry," Qu Mingnan withdrew his eyes, and he lowered his eyes, "It's really urgent, it's urgent, please."

Shen Wanru didn't seem to know what to say, she muttered a few times: "...he's fine."

Qu Mingnan realized that Shen Wanru was talking about Qin Suiyi, he was a little surprised by Shen Wanru's almost softening attitude, he pursed his lips: "I see."

Shen Wanru looked at Qu Mingnan, hesitated for a long time, and finally had only one sentence: "I'm sorry."

Qu Mingnan glanced at Shen Wanru, then turned and left without looking back.

After Qu Mingnan left the hospital, he was still in a daze. He didn't expect that Shen Wanru would not stop him, let alone that Shen Wanru would apologize to him. What does Shen Wanru's attitude mean... Guilt and guilt?

He shook his head, there was no time to think too much, he just wanted to find Qin Suiyi and Zai Zai quickly.

He touched his pocket and found that the phone was still there. He took it out and took a look. Apart from the cracked screen, the phone itself was still strong and could still be turned on normally.

Qu Mingnan quickly called Qin Suiyi, and after a while, Qin Suiyi answered the phone.

"Where are you now? Have you found Zai Zai? Are you all right?"

He asked several questions in a row, Qin Suiyi was silent for a while before answering: "I am... in the hotel yesterday."

hostel?Why was Qin Suiyi in the hotel where he was imprisoned?

Qu Mingnan was very puzzled, but after knowing that Qin Suiyi was fine, he was completely relieved: "Is Zai Zai with you?"

Qin Suiyi: "Yes."

Qu Mingnan felt that Qin Suiyi's tone was a bit strange: "Then I'll come and find you now."

Qin Suiyi sighed: "...you come here."

Qu Mingnan always felt that something was wrong with Qin Suiyi, but he didn't have time to think too much now, so he ran away after hanging up the phone.

Fortunately, the hospital in this town was not far from the hotel where the crew was stationed. Relying on his memory from yesterday, he ran all the way and finally found the old hotel again.

Qu Mingnan hurried in and finally found Qin Suiyi in the first room on the first floor of the old hotel.

Qin Suiyi's appearance was a bit messy, obviously like Qu Mingnan, he was busy looking for the missing cub as soon as he woke up, and he didn't even care about his appearance.

Qu Mingnan breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you okay?"

Qin Suiyi shook his head lightly.

"Where's Zai Zai? Is Zai Zai okay? Why isn't he with us?"

Qu Mingnan asked anxiously.

Qin Suiyi turned to look at the bed, only then did Qu Mingnan notice that there was another person on the bed, who was deeply buried in a thick quilt.

"... Zai Zai?" Qu Mingnan rushed forward, but the moment he saw the person on the bed, he couldn't help being startled.

The person on the bed was an old man in his 80s and [-]s. Qu Mingnan took a step back in disbelief: "...Zai Zai?"

Is the old man on the bed his cub?

The old man on the bed looked up at Qu Mingnan, and squeezed out two words in a dry voice: "...Dad..."

Qu Mingnan was stunned in surprise. He looked at the old man on the bed, and it took him a long time to be sure that this was his cub... How did his cub become an old man overnight?

"What exactly is going on?"

Qu Mingnan couldn't believe it, he stretched out his hand cautiously, but didn't dare to touch it.

"...When the car overturned, I used up all my energy..." The old man lying sickly on the bed said in a dry voice, "The way I am now is my real look..."

Qu Mingnan gradually realized that it turned out that he and Qin Suiyi were safe after falling from such a high cliff because Zai Zai was protecting them... So Zai Zai's dying appearance in front of him is the price of protecting them unscathed?

"I'm no longer a child. I was already an old man before I crossed over." The old man smiled wryly and explained, "I have studied the time machine all my life, and finally at the last moment of my life It's out... So you don't have to be too sad, I only have a few days left to live, and the last few days of my life have been so wonderful, so I don't have any regrets."

Qu Mingnan asked with difficulty: "Even if you travel back now...is there no other way?"

The old man shook his head: "I didn't have a few days to live before I dared to use the time machine. I'm not even sure if it will work or not, and if there will be any accidents..."

The old man didn't go on, but Qu Mingnan understood, because his life was coming to an end, so his cub dared to go all out and be the first one to eat crabs.

He suddenly didn't know what to say. He originally thought that even if Zai Zai went back, he would only return to the original time and the original world. In the future, I won't feel so sad.

But now, he learns that...it turns out that they are not separated by two time and space, but completely separated by life and death.

Qu Mingnan looked at Qin Suiyi a little at a loss, but found that Qin Suiyi also looked dazed and depressed.

"Don't be sad," the old man managed to squeeze out a smile. He stretched out his trembling hand, as if trying to touch Qu Mingnan, "We will meet again in the future..."

Qu Mingnan rushed forward to grab the old man's hand, Qin Suiyi also took a step forward, and they grabbed the old hand together.

The old man showed a gratified smile: "...I will wait for you in the future."

In the next second, the person on the bed disappeared.

Qu Mingnan and Qin Suiyi's hands were still intertwined in the air, but there was nothing in their palms.

Zai Zai disappeared.
