Neverland

Xu Muzhou never thought that "separation" would be such a cruel thing.

The roaring hurricane waves made the distance that was close at hand far away, Xu Muzhou couldn't hear what they were saying clearly, those cries and sorrows were shattered in the wind and became part of the hunting wind.

Xu Muzhou could only see Yan Cen walking up to Song Yan, and handing her a bottle of drink in a pink package with no expression on his face.

Song Yan's palm covering Qin Wei's eyes was icy cold, she knelt on the ground exhausted, trembling, she wanted to reach out to take the bottle from Yan Cen's hand.

"Have you made up your mind?" Yan Cen held the bottle tightly and didn't let go for a while.

Song Yan didn't answer the question, but said, "Tell me, why didn't Zhong Lu come down after such a big commotion?"

Yan Cen pursed his lips.

Song Yan didn't expect him to answer, but took it on her own: "This is a tacit understanding, Yan Cen. Zhong Lu who deliberately avoided it, and you who are standing here now, you both know what I will do select."

"Let's not talk about those who don't agree with each other." Yan Cen said, "I only know that you will definitely regret it."

"Yes." Song Yan was very honest.

"Some things cannot be turned back." Yan Cen continued: "If you insist on sending her back, then your 'little cake' will be gone."

Something warm came out from under Song Yan's palm, and Qin Wei's drenched eyelashes swept her palm, which was obviously so gentle, but it was like a heavy bell and pestle, hitting her hard one after another. heart.

Song Yan licked her lips and said, "I know."

"It's really..." Yan Cen said with emotion: "The most ruthless woman's heart."

"You're right. I'm the one who's guilty. It's all retribution." Song Yan didn't want to argue with Yan Cen whether it was right or wrong. She accepted the sentence as it was, and said, "I am the one who rewrote it." It has changed her life path... But, don't you know the feeling of being rewritten by others?"

Song Yan paused, then looked sideways at Yan Cen.

From Xu Muzhou's perspective, he could only see Song Yan's lips moving, as if she was saying something to Yan Cen.

The next second, Yan Cen raised his head subconsciously and looked in Xu Muzhou's direction.

In fact, the platform on the second floor is not far from the hall, and Xu Muzhou didn't deliberately hide his figure before, so it's normal for Yan Cen to find out.

But Xu Muzhou tightened his hands holding the railing, his back froze, and his first reaction was to hide—because he actually saw the emotion called "tension" in Yan Cen's eyes for the first time.

This is too abnormal... No, not only Yan Cen, but even everything that happened today is far beyond Xu Muzhou's prediction. Xu Muzhou thinks that he is just an ordinary person, and he will instinctively think Avoid the things you don't want to think about, the things you don't want to face.

But he bit the tip of his tongue, forced himself to withdraw from his instinctive emotions, and met Yan Cen's gaze.

Ignorance can be fearless, but one can't deceive oneself and others when something is imminent, as if nothing has been discovered.

He believed that Yan Cen must have received his wish to "stay here".

Xu Muzhou's heart was pounding, in the game field, whoever felt guilty first would lose, Xu Muzhou tightened his hands on the railing, waiting for Yan Cen's feedback.

In fact, Xu Muzhou originally thought that his uninvited behavior would be stopped by Yan Cen, but Yan Cen just took a look at him and then looked away. It seemed that he had tacitly allowed him to stay here.

Xu Muzhou was somewhat puzzled by Yan Cen's contradictory emotions and behavior - Yan Cen was obviously nervous about Xu Muzhou's presence, but he did nothing to ease his tension.

It was Xu Muzhou's fault to pry into Yongwuxiang's private affairs for no reason.Obviously as long as Yan Cen asks him to go back, Xu Muzhou will never refuse him.

But Yan Cen didn't.

Emotionally, Xu Muzhou instinctively felt a little unbearable, feeling that he was stepping on Yan Cen's bottom line of pampering him and frantically testing.But his rationality did not allow him to back down, because he suddenly had a premonition that this might be the closest he was to "Neverland".

Xu Muzhou is not stupid, and thanks to his growing environment, he is more sensitive than ordinary people, and he can grasp the key points at the first time even in the chaos.

——Xu Muzhou was no stranger to the bottle of drink that Yan Cen was going to hand to Song Yan just now.

When he first arrived in Neverland, Yan Cen once held a bottle for him at the door.Xu Muzhou just took a sip at that time, and vaguely remembered that the taste of the thing was similar to some kind of plant or fruit and vegetable. At that time, his knowledge of Neverland was almost zero, and he didn't remember to find out what it was made of afterward. of.

Xu Muzhou's eyes scanned every corner of the lobby. The previous booths were blown away by the wind, and the drinks on them were scattered all over the place. Xu Muzhou glanced and found that these drinks were different.

In addition to the pink packaging bottle that Yan Cen is holding in his hand, there is also a green packaging bottle.Xu Muzhou closed his eyes and tried his best to think back, and realized that what Yan Cen personally handed him back then was a different kind of green.

Xu Muzhou's heart sank slightly, and he already had a guess - now it seems that this bottle of drink is probably not just a simple thing like "drink".

The appearance of Xu Muzhou didn't seem to have any effect on Yan Cen, he let go of his hand, and put the bottle of "drink" that couldn't be seen clearly into Song Yan's hand.

"There's no need to call that address anymore." Yan Cen said lightly: "It's a good thing you still remember the matter of Chen Zhima rotten millet."

Song Yan was also impulsive at first, and she regretted it when she said it, but fortunately Yan Cen didn't mind.Now Yan Cen's steps are all in front of her eyes, so of course she has to go down.She hummed and moved past the topic.

Qin Wei seemed to feel something in this dull atmosphere, and moved her fingers hanging by her side with difficulty, trying to escape from Song Yan's arms.

Song Yan came back to her senses and hugged her even tighter, she let go of the hand covering Qin Wei's eyes, trying to unscrew the cap of the bottle of drink in her hand.

But her hands were shaking badly, and she tried several times without success.

"If you can't be cruel, forget it." Yan Cen said in a deep voice, "Zhong Lu won't give you so much time to hesitate."

Qin Wei drew a faint hope from this sentence, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Song Yan.

It's a pity that Song Yan didn't look at her, she gritted her teeth paranoidly, took a deep breath, and finally unscrewed the bottle cap.

Her fingers unconsciously tightened, and the herbal scented liquid spilled out of the bottle, splashing on Qin Wei and her body.

"Xiaowei." Song Yan lowered her head and said in an abnormally gentle tone, "Drink some water."

"...No." Qin Wei asked with trembling lips, "What is this?"

Song Yan avoided Qin Wei's question and did not answer directly, but tightened her arms and hugged her, gently pressed the mouth of the bottle against her lips, and said softly: "You will sleep, and then Forget about this nightmare."

"...You not only want to send me away, but also want me to forget about you?" Qin Wei asked.

Qin Wei's voice was very soft, even at this point, she still had a little luck, and wanted Song Yan to listen to what she had to say.

"I want to stay here." Qin Wei tilted her head to avoid the suspicious bottle of drink, and said with difficulty, "I want to stay here, can't I?"

She refused to cooperate, so of course this thing couldn't be fed.Song Yan stared at her for a while, then suddenly changed her strategy - she put the bottle of drink back to her lips, and took a sip of water in front of Qin Wei.

The light in Qin Wei's eyes suddenly went out.

Song Yan was silent, and threw most of the remaining bottle of drink casually. The fragile drink bottle rolled to the door, and the drink inside spilled all the way, merging with the rainwater all over the floor.

The drink bottle finally hit the wall next to the door, the body of the bottle shriveled up, spit out the last sip of drink, and stayed quietly in the shadows without moving.

Song Yan lowered her head, she stretched out her hand to pinch Qin Wei's chin, and pried open the other's lips and teeth with the tip of her tongue.

Qin Wei subconsciously wanted to bite her, but in the end she couldn't bear it. The bitter medicine flowed down her throat into her body. Qin Wei couldn't stop her, and drank more than half of it, coughing and choking.

Destiny is such a strange thing. Song Yan was the one who wanted to protect Qin Wei the most, but in the end, it was Song Yan who hurt her with her own hands.

This kiss was tender and decisive, like a gentle knife, piercing two wounded hearts bit by bit.

Qin Wei's eyes were desperate and helpless, she barely raised her hand to grab Song Yan's skirt, the menacing look just now had disappeared, only pleading remained.

"Please..." she said humbly, "Just this time... please..."

Song Yan's fingers trembled, trying not to look into her eyes.

"No." Song Yan said.

Qin Wei let go of her hand in a daze, and stopped begging.

Song Yan pursed her lips and touched Qin Wei's face. Her little girl was crying so hard that tears fell from the corners of her eyes and fell into her long black hair.

Qin Wei was heartbroken by her.

The extreme pain probably doesn't need words to prove it, Xu Muzhou stood on the second floor platform in a daze, his mind went blank.

He has no parents, and his natural emotions are a little more indifferent than ordinary children from harmonious families. Even so, in this situation, it is hard for Xu Muzhou to say that he is not touched.

After a while, Qin Wei probably fell asleep, and Song Yan sat up on her knees, staggeringly holding Qin Wei in her arms.She didn't turn her head to look at anyone, but took a step forward and walked out of the Neverland.

Yan Cen watched her walk into the wind and rain, then turned around and looked up at Xu Muzhou, then raised his legs and went upstairs.

Xu Muzhou didn't move, he stood there and waited for Yan Cen to come up.

Yan Cen walked up to him, stretched out his hand to touch his cold face, and said softly, "Go back."

He spoke so naturally, no different from his usual chatting.Obviously this is Xu Muzhou's most accustomed tone, but in this situation, it seems very magical.

"Brother Yan." Xu Muzhou didn't meet his eyes: "That's what... Neverland said, is it a memory cleaning method?"

Yan Cen stared at him for a while, hummed and admitted.

"Then what am I drinking?" Xu Muzhou said.

Yan Cen's hands stopped, and he said casually, "It's something that allows you to survive in Neverland, it's different from that."

He was escaping, Xu Muzhou thought, this perfunctory way of practicing Tai Chi is really too clumsy.

"What's wrong?" Yan Cen smiled nonchalantly and touched his face: "Are you scared?"

Of course Xu Muzhou knew that his situation was different from Qin Wei's. Unlike Qin Wei, he was forced to accept all of this. He had the "right to know" and the "right to choose". No matter what, he would not end up in such a tragic situation. the point.

His rationality is frantically telling him that now he should accept Yan Cen's whitewashing, but he himself can't pretend that he didn't see it anyway.

"Brother Yan." Xu Muzhou asked in a low voice, "Where is Neverland?"

The smile on Yan Cen's face faded, he withdrew his hand, and was silent for a long time before opening his mouth.

"...It's a prison."
