Neverland

After all, Toya didn't have the guts to snatch the crystal ball from Yan Cen's hand.

He looked back at Yan Cen three times a step, a bloodstain was bitten on the corner of his lips.Yan Cen was more interested in the ball in his hand, he didn't look at Toya, took the crystal ball from Xu Muzhou, and rolled it in his hand through the quilt, looking very interested .

Seeing that he was determined to do so, Toya had nothing to do, so she had no choice but to leave the room and close the door behind her.

Xu Muzhou watched Toya go out, then sat on the bed and elbowed Yan Cen, wondering: "Why is he so afraid of you?"

"There are too many people in this world who are afraid of me." Yan Cen joked, "He's not the only one."

Xu Muzhou: "..."

——It seems to be right, but for a moment I don’t know how to refute it.

So Xu Muzhou changed his mind, looked at the crystal ball in Yan Cen's arms, and asked, "Why are you snatching him?"

Yan Cen glanced at him sideways, and stretched out his hand to pull out the quilt under the crystal ball.

The round ball rolled down with its force, and finally fell into Yan Cen's palm, shaking in his hand.

Just like what Xu Muzhou had seen before, once this crystal ball fell into Yan Cen's hands, it was as if some indiscriminate fingerprint lock had been opened, the floating dust on it was swept away immediately, and the whole ball suddenly lit up.

Before Xu Muzhou could stop, he felt Yan Cen stretch out a hand and grab his right hand which was resting on the quilt.

"I promise you." Yan Cen said.

Xu Muzhou didn't even have a chance to be dazed, just for a short moment, he felt a flash of light in front of his eyes - this thing has succeeded in touching porcelain again.

Xu Muzhou subconsciously turned his head and wanted to look at Yan Cen beside him, but he didn't know whether "Future" couldn't be watched online or what else, there was no one around him, only the touch of his right hand was very clear.

Xu Muzhou moved his fingers tentatively, and soon felt the other party's response - Yan Cen pinched the tip of his middle finger.

It seems that everyone's "future" is different, this time Xu Muzhou did not return to the vast mist.

"He" went straight back to the seaside of Neverland.

Just like what Xu Muzhou saw before, the sea of ​​Neverland stretches as far as the eye can see, and the white waves splash on the gravel coast, falling under the feet of a pair of old and outdated flip-flops.

The slightly cool sea water came up and wet the trouser legs of "Xu Muzhou". Yan Cen stood beside him, tilting his head slightly, watching the setting sun sinking into the sea in the distance.

"I'm leaving." Xu Muzhou heard "myself" say.

——It's still the same, Xu Muzhou gritted his teeth, and unconsciously squeezed Yan Cen's hand tightly.

The other party quickly pinched his fingertips again, Xu Muzhou couldn't see Yan Cen, and didn't understand whether his expression was disappointment or something else, but judging from the reaction speed, he was probably not angry with him.

"Yan Cen" was wearing a loose T-shirt today, and the hem of the clothes was raised in a slight arc by the wind. He lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Muzhou. Straighten the messy sideburns one by one.

"I'm sorry." "Yan Cen" said.

"It's too late for you to regret it now." "Xu Muzhou" said: "It's still too late for me to stay now."

Xu Muzhou was slightly taken aback.

——It is also a farewell, but Yan Cen's "future" seems to be significantly different from his "future".

But this is not right, Xu Muzhou thought.If it is the "future" from an objective perspective, then in the same incident, the pictures and scenes he and Yan Cen saw should be the same.

However, "Yan Cen" shook his head, he smiled lightly at "Xu Muzhou", persistently brushed his slightly long sideburns back, and said softly, "I will come to see you."

The more Xu Muzhou looked at it, the more confused he became, it was completely different from what he saw himself.

In one version he was mean and indifferent, in another version he became a poor little boy who couldn't control his own destiny.

He desperately wanted to ask Yan Cen what was going on, but just as he subconsciously turned his head to see where Yan Cen should be, he felt that the scene in front of him suddenly changed—as if the screen was cut.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Muzhou discovered that he had returned to Room 317 in Neverland.

The weather on this day in the perspective is good, the balcony windows of the bedroom and the living room are wide open, the floor-to-ceiling curtains are half-rolled and half-drawn, the sun outside is hanging high in the sky, fresh water vapor is pouring in from the tulle curtains, and the curtains are Covered with a thin layer of water vapor.

Xu Muzhou should be looking at this memory from the perspective of "Yan Cen". He stood in the bedroom for a while, and then was "sucked" to the door of the bedroom by an unknown pulling force.

——It should be Yan Cen walking around.

Xu Muzhou followed him, and found that the door of Room 317 was opened from the outside, and "Xu Muzhou" came in from the outside, carrying a simple plastic bag in his hand, which contained a bunch of colorfully packaged snacks—— According to Xu Muzhou's eyesight, the total price should not exceed 20 yuan.

"Xu Muzhou" came back from nowhere, and was busy changing shoes at the door while shaking the plastic bag in his hand.He skipped and stepped on the slippers he had thrown away, then threw the bag in his hand on the shoe cabinet, opened the freezer door, took out a glass of ice water from it, and gulped it down to cool him down.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the study opposite the bedroom clicked—the people inside were startled by the movement outside, and were walking out.

"Yan Cen" opened the door of the study room, stepped on a pair of slippers, leaned lazily on the door frame, and raised an eyebrow at "Xu Muzhou" at the door.

"Last time, some people said to eat less snacks." "Yan Cen" squinted his eyes slightly, and there was no threat in his tone.

"Last time was the last time." "Xu Muzhou" smiled flatteringly at Yan Cen, rushed over a few steps and put his arms around his waist, raised his head and kissed his chin coquettishly, and said sophisically: "Life I’m not alive anymore, what’s wrong with eating some snacks, and Neverland doesn’t prohibit regular employees from eating snacks.”

"Yan Cen" was amused by him, pinched his chin and responded with a sip, and criticized with a smile: "The words are unreasonable."

Xu Muzhou was completely dumbfounded.

——This is a completely different "future".

From the inside and outside meaning of "Xu Muzhou", in this "future", he not only completed the task well, but also became a "full-time employee" as he wished, and he has been doing well with Yan Cen for a long time.

--What exactly is going on?

Xu Muzhou was at a loss, obviously he had seen Yan Cen's "Future" just now, why there is another version.

Before Xu Muzhou came back to his senses, he felt that Yan Cen beside him seemed to bend down and get a little closer to him.

That feeling was very strange, Xu Muzhou's side was obviously empty, but he just "felt" Yan Cen's every move.

"Brother Yan...?" Xu Muzhou asked tentatively.

"Have you finished watching?" Yan Cen asked.

Xu Muzhou scratched his hair, not knowing what he meant, so he could only honestly say: "It's over."

Xu Muzhou originally thought that this "future" observation would be over, but he never thought that Yan Cen would chuckle in his ear and say, "Okay, I'll show you something else."

"What don't—"

Xu Muzhou only had time to ask out his voice, he didn't even hear his own voice, he felt that the scene in front of him was suddenly blown by a gust of wind, he only had time to stretch out his hand to cover his eyes, and was almost blown by the wind.

"What—"

Xu Muzhou just stood still, before he could complain, he was suddenly stunned.

——He found that he came to a completely strange place.

This is not Neverland, nor the modern society he lives in, nor even any of the missions he and Yan Cen have been on.

There are carved beams and painted buildings here, and there are endless white marble steps in front of it, all the way up, leading to the majestic palace above.

On the white marble in the middle of the steps, there is a five-clawed dragon painted on the surface of the steps. Xu Muzhou knows that there are 99 steps without counting.

——This seems to be ancient times, Xu Muzhou thought.He squinted his eyes and raised his head, trying to see the age from the distant palace buildings, but Xu Muzhou didn't stay in this scene for too long, he felt that the sky was collapsing and the earth was about to change again.

In Yan Cen's hands, this crystal ball is like a PPT screen cutter, which can be cut at will without warning.

Xu Muzhou just staggered, and left from the mighty palace and moved into a small courtyard.

Although this small courtyard is exquisite, but with the background of the palace that I saw just now, it seems a bit lacking in momentum after all.

Xu Muzhou didn't know what Yan Cen was going to show him, so he habitually looked around, but he didn't even see half of "himself".

But he saw "Yan Cen".

——Yan Cen with wide-sleeved robes and plain clothes.

Xu Muzhou was startled.

"Yan Cen" looked younger than the one he was familiar with, with his hair tied and a crown on his head. He lowered his head slightly, with black hair hanging from his shoulders, covering half of his face.

The long-haired Yan Cen doesn't look as sharp as Xu Muzhou is familiar with, perhaps because his brows and eyes are not sharp enough, he even looks a little warm.

Xu Muzhou stared straight at him, but as an engineering student, he searched his brains for a long time, but couldn't find a suitable word to describe Yan Cen in front of him.

The bamboo curtains of the main house in the small courtyard were rolled up, and sunlight poured in from the windows, illuminating most of the room brightly.

"Yan Cen" was standing in the large expanse of hot sunlight, with his back facing the door, holding a sharp long sword in his hand, and was carefully wiping the edge with a piece of white cloth.

Xu Muzhou's heart skipped a beat, feeling that something was wrong.

He had an intuition that this was not any world Yan Cen had experienced - he felt that this was Yan Cen himself.

"Yan Cen" in the room was oblivious to the sight from the outside. He polished the long sword carefully, then folded the white cloth towel with one hand, and put it on the sword stand beside him.

Then he turned around, held the sword in one hand, and took two steps towards the door.

Xu Muzhou was standing outside the door, but when he saw this, he subconsciously took a step back, trying to make way for him.

Unexpectedly, "Yan Cen" just bowed in the direction of the door, then turned around and lightly weighed the sword in his hand.

At the same time, Xu Muzhou suddenly felt that Yan Cen was holding his hand tightly.

He was wondering, but suddenly saw that the atmosphere in front of him suddenly changed, "Yan Cen" flicked his long hair back, with a horizontal sword on his neck, and a heavy force from his hands.

Xu Muzhou's pupils shrank suddenly, and he stretched out his hand subconsciously.

"do not--"

Under the three-foot Qingfeng long sword, there were bright red blood dripping down the blood groove and falling to the ground continuously, but in the blink of an eye, it continued to form a blood line in mid-air.
