Neverland

Yan Cen seemed to vaguely understand why Zhong Lu gave Xu Muzhou such a task.

The morning sun has completely left the sea level, and the cold sunlight pours in from the windows, bringing some warmth to this cramped room.

Xu Muzhou sat with his head down on the cold and wet bed, his free hand tightened his fingers, unconsciously clutching the quilt on his body.

Yan Cen looked at him softly for a while, and didn't answer if he could or not, but just stretched out his hand and stroked back the sweaty hair on his forehead.

"Sleep." Yan Cen said: "The fever hasn't subsided yet, let's sleep again."

Xu Muzhou raised his head, looked at him for a while, hesitant to speak, but finally said nothing, and let Yan Cen push him back on the bed.

Yan Cen could tell what Xu Muzhou was thinking just by looking at his expression. He didn't want the little fox to rest with his thoughts, but he also didn't want him to be restless, so he pulled the quilt up to cover it. On his shoulder, he said: "I'll talk to you about it when you wake up."

"What?" Xu Muzhou asked angrily.

What Xu Muzhou said just now was out of love, but he soon discovered that Yan Cen had always been noncommittal about him "staying", and had never clearly answered whether he wanted to let him Leave.

——At best, Yan Cen just let go of the matter of "let him choose".

Xu Muzhou was sore from burning, and it seemed like a heavy hammer was digging in his brain, making his temples throbbing. He couldn't get the horns out, and his chest seemed to be burning. It made him feel uncomfortable.

"Do you think it's good to push the boat like this, just to give me the so-called 'freedom'?" Xu Muzhou said hoarsely, "Or is it that the 'future' may be fake, saying that I will not do such a thing?" Something that went back and forth?"

Yan Cen couldn't hear the sting in his words, and couldn't help frowning.

Xu Muzhou let go of Yan Cen's hand, turned his back to Yan Cen, pulled up the quilt again, and curled up his legs.

"I don't want to break up with my boyfriend, and I don't want to be a white-eyed wolf, and I don't want to promise to be with you all the time yesterday and then go back on it tomorrow." Xu Muzhou's voice was muffled under the quilt: "I think clearly, you I've thought about the pros and cons of worrying a thousand times, and then you still—”

"Who said you are a white-eyed wolf?" Yan Cen asked lightly.

Xu Muzhou was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that the key points he captured were so strange.

Yan Cen took out the hot hydrangea in his hand, his eyes paused for a second on the narrow white border, and then slid away as if nothing had happened.

He untied the leather rope in his hand, threw the broken piece on the ground, left the longer half, and put the hydrangea on it again.

"Why, a period of 'future' scares you like this." Yan Cen slowly wrapped the leather rope back around his hands, crossed his fingers on his knees, moved back relaxedly, and leaned against the end of the bed.

"Did you stab me with a knife, or did you use the information of Neverland to change the path of the world line, or did you do something outrageous?" Yan Cen asked.

Xu Muzhou didn't speak, but he just raised his ears and poked out of the quilt unobtrusively, trying to hear Yan Cen's words more clearly.

"Xu Muzhou." Yan Cen tied the rope, and said in a low tone: "Normal people...the kind with both parents and a happy childhood, may break up after falling in love, may hurt someone's heart, and may also be in this life. would do something wrong."

Xu Muzhou tightened his grip on the quilt, and instantly felt a panic of being seen through from the inside out.

But then he felt that his reaction seemed to be too big, so he loosened the crumpled quilt again to hide it.

But who is Yan Cen? Before Xu Muzhou came to Neverland, he didn't know how many times he went around the world line and how many people he met.The purpose of cleaning up the system is to find the "obsession" in people's hearts. Yan Cen has mastered this skill with strangers, let alone looking at the person next to him who is on his mind day and night.

"Are you afraid of the 'future', Xu Muzhou?" Yan Cen asked.

Xu Muzhou trembled when he was called by his first and last names, and then he heard Yan Cen continue.

"Those things you haven't got before, I don't know what it's like..." Yan Cen said: "If you want it, why don't you say it."

Xu Muzhou's nose was sore, and he gritted his teeth to hold it back.

Although Yan Cen's words didn't seem harsh, every word and every word pierced his heart.Xu Muzhou has no trust in himself who has never experienced a long-term relationship, so he subconsciously wants to leave this mess to Yan Cen, wants to leave this matter to him to solve, and wants... Yan Cen to help him solve this kind of problem. Love stays forever.

It wasn't until Yan Cen clearly stated these things that Xu Muzhou realized that it wasn't that he didn't understand before, he just couldn't accept it and didn't want to admit it.

He would rather admit that he is selfish than admit that he is incompetent.

Xu Muzhou felt that his whole body seemed to be completely opened by Yan Cen from the inside to the outside, and then he was carried under the sun while shaking the ashes while washing it, which made his whole body ache.

"So what if you don't have parents, and you must be worse than those who have fathers and mothers." Yan Cen's voice was still flat, without any ups and downs: "If you change to someone with parents and brothers...the parents are not kind, and the brothers fight against the wall, day and night So what if I have to fight against each other and insist on killing you forever."

"Is that useful? Can the journey go smoothly?" Yan Cen said: "Can it give people a sense of security than having no parents?"

Yan Cen's question was more indifferent than the other, if outsiders listened to it, no matter how they heard this passage, they were preaching about Xu Muzhou's situation, but these words fell into Xu Muzhou's ears, and he always felt a little unclear Chu means to come.

Inexplicably, Xu Muzhou always felt that Yan Cen was talking about himself.

Xu Muzhou suddenly remembered the "Emperor Theory" that he and Yan Cen had chatted about during Song Xueyao's mission, his heart trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to sit up.

"you--"

"Shhh—" Yan Cen seemed to know what he was talking about, and covered Xu Muzhou's eyes with his hands first, not letting him get up, and said without hesitation: "You should go to sleep."

Xu Muzhou couldn't break free from his hand, so he forcefully pushed him back on the bed.

"Brother Yan..." Xu Muzhou grabbed his wrist, softened his voice, and said softly in a hoarse voice.

"I won't go." Yan Cen sighed, and said again: "Go to sleep, we will talk about it when you wake up."

Xu Muzhou pursed his lips, not daring to touch his moldy head again, so he could only close his eyes obediently.

Xu Muzhou thought that he couldn't fall asleep because he was preoccupied with other things, but who knew maybe it was because of Yan Cen's side, he only lay down for a while, and then fell asleep again.

He slept for a long time this time, until the sun rose and set, and the morning light was replaced by the setting sun. Xu Muzhou woke up from his deep sleep, stretched out a hand from under the quilt, and touched the side unconsciously. touched.

Seeing this, Yan Cen by the window stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and walked back.

Standing by the bed, Yan Cen bent down and touched Xu Muzhou's forehead, and found that the other person's fever had subsided.

Xu Muzhou opened his eyes, his eyes were covered with a deep layer of mist, before he could see clearly, he called him first.

"Brother Yan." Xu Muzhou said.

Yan Cen responded with a good temper, took half a black bread from the coffee table at the end of the bed, stuffed it into Xu Muzhou's hand, and stuffed a bottle of fresh water with the cork off in his other hand.

Both of Xu Muzhou's hands were occupied at once, and he could only watch helplessly as Yan Cen straightened up and leaned back to the window, took out a crumpled cigarette, and lit it by the window.

Xu Muzhou was still thinking about the "wake up and talk", but he glanced at Yan Cen several times, but he couldn't see what the other party said, so he could only lower his head, and stuffed a small piece of black bread into his mouth inside.

He slept profusely in sweat, and his clothes didn't fit well, falling loosely on him, making him look a bit pitiful.

The words seemed a bit harsh, Yan Cen thought, after all, the little fox is still young.

Yan Cen has lived half his life to this day, and his work quality and psychological quality are so good that it is frightening. He has never used it to worry about it, so that his educational talent is close to none.

Team Leader Yan took a puff of his cigarette, feeling a little worried.

But fortunately, Xu Muzhou is not a player who will be slumped after a few words. He broke the black bread into small pieces, and slowly finished half of the dry bread with half a bottle of fresh water. With something, the short-circuited brain began to work again.

The taste of the black bread is more unpalatable than the roughest coarse grains, and the taste is so wonderful that it is hard to compliment.But the bottle of fresh water didn't have any peculiar smell, it was completely different from what Xu Muzhou smelled in the basement.

Holding the obviously clean glass, Xu Muzhou raised his eyelids to take a look at Yan Cen's profile, lowered his head slowly, and drank half of the bottle of water in small sips.

He was dazzled by the "future" with a huge amount of information before, and he was angry and panicked, and he was about to vent when he caught Yan Cen.Now it may be two more sleeps, but after calming down, I am not so afraid.

——When I go back this time, I will have a showdown with Zhong Lu, Xu Muzhou thought, "You can enter Neverland but you are not allowed to leave. As long as you can enter, are you still afraid of running out by yourself?"

Wanting to understand this, he felt that his previous appearance was a bit of a nonsense, a little uncomfortable for no reason, deliberately slowed down the speed of eating, and took a long time to finish the small piece of bread, and called Yan Cen One sound.

After Yan Cen finished smoking his second cigarette, he seemed to have returned to his usual appearance. He opened the window a little, walked over and helped Xu Muzhou up from the bed, as if he was going to take him to the ground .

Xu Muzhou's fever subsided, and he was no longer dizzy, so he didn't need him to help him, so he stood up by himself, wrapped up the crooked coat on his body, and asked obediently, "Where are you going?"

"Go to Toya." Yan Cen said.

Xu Muzhou blinked, and didn't understand why he was looking for Toya for a moment.

"I'll show you my future." Yan Cen said.
