At the end of the memory world, it was a very peaceful and beautiful time.
Lu Li and Tang Bin accompanied each other for the rest of their lives. In the last years of their lives, they returned to their motherland and dedicated their bodies and brains to the research center.At this time, the experiment on hybrids has been semi-public. Lu Li saw a generation of hybrids alive and kicking. They really look exactly like Tang Bin, and after so many years, they can still call daddy around the two of them...
The old academician has passed away long ago, and the research center is now managed by Gu Yun. Lu Li apologized to him, and expressed his willingness to donate all the genes of his brain and body to do a little bit for the research of hybrids...
This world came to an end with Lu Li's death. When he returned to the familiar subconscious area again, he felt like a world away. Lu Li reacted for a long time before calling out "Xiaoxue?"
In the darkness, ice-blue snowflakes suddenly lit up, and the gentle blue light flickered, as if calling him. Lu Li walked towards the light, and gradually realized that he was enveloped by the light, and then he felt A burst of warmth, followed by a gentle call.
He heard someone calling his name softly: "Lu Li, are you awake?"
Lu Li slowly opened his eyes, and found himself lying on a hospital bed surrounded by a few people who looked like doctors. It was a young girl who woke him up. For some reason, he always felt that this girl seemed familiar to him.
"The mission is over, you can finally return to reality." The girl laughed: "My host."
Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "You are...Xiaoxue?"
"My real name is Shirley. In fact, I am a human being who intervened in your brain through technical means." Xiaoxue looked at Lu Li and explained, "This matter is a bit complicated to talk about, so I want to apologize to you first, because the so-called The tasks and time travels do not exist."
"You can speak slowly." Lu Li's reaction was unexpectedly calm. He had already roughly guessed the truth, but there were still many details to be confirmed.He looked down at his hands, this body seemed to be his own, and quite young.
"It is now SGD 3057, and more than a hundred centuries have passed since the time you lived in. During these thousands of years, human beings have experienced several major catastrophes and changes, and civilizations have been changing in constant prosperity and destruction. , developed to the present, we found that our civilization is very similar to the ancient human civilization in the AD period. During an archaeological operation, we discovered a well-preserved underground laboratory. In one of the warehouses, liquid nitrogen technology was used to Hundreds of human brains are frozen, and you are one of them." Shirley paused: "Is there too much information, do you need to get used to it for a while?"
Lu Li shook his head and said with a smile, "I've been waiting for the truth for too long, so go ahead."
"Okay." Shirley hummed and continued: "After all, our civilizations are highly similar, and your information is very important to us. Therefore, we started to conduct brain recovery experiments, but because the freezing time was too long, a total of 37 people Only [-] brain-like brains have been successfully awakened, and almost all of the awakened brains have symptoms of memory loss..." Shirley frowned: "We found that your brain has a very high degree of development, and it may be a very Outstanding technological talent. Therefore, to be on the safe side, we dare not wake you up easily, and instead, we implemented a subconscious invasion plan."
"Subconscious invasion?"
"We spent ten years designing a simulation system in which we simulated different worlds, each world representing a different stage of hybrid and human development, and we combined your brain with this system Connected, you enter these worlds in the form of brain waves, all the characters here are compiled with real personality files, so you will not notice abnormalities, and we observe your reactions and adjust your brain as appropriate Do physical stimulation to help you recover."
"The owner is also compiled from the personality file?" Lu Li frowned. If it is true as Xiaoxue said, every world he experiences is virtual, how can he explain the same owner that appears in every world?
"The modeling of the owner is more troublesome. We scanned your brain and found that there is an image of a man in your subconscious mind, which is the reference image of our modeling owner. We think this person has a lot of interest in you. It is of great significance, so I use this image to stimulate you..." When Xiaoxue said this, she suddenly said seriously: "Although the virtual world is created by us, it is an independent circulatory system, which is equivalent to the formation of countless artificial intelligences. All the feedback it gives you in the virtual society is real, not what we set up. We just want you to gradually form a world view of the real world through experience, which will help you recover after recovery. "
"Can I take a look at this simulation system?" Lu Li reluctantly accepted the explanation, sat up from the hospital bed, moved his limbs, and found himself full of strength: "By the way, what's going on with my current body? "
"We extracted gene fragments from your brain and reshaped your body. Theoretically speaking, this is still your body." Xiaoxue helped Lu Li up from the bed. Although the newly awakened Lu Li was in good spirits, he still needed to move. Slowly adapting, Xiaoxue helped him out of the ward, and then answered his question while walking through the corridor: "But when reshaping your muscles, bones and body organs, we found that the organs donated by humans do not match your genes, Instead, the hybrid's gene sequence matches yours, so we can only use hybridization technology to transplant your brain into the hybrid's body."
"So, those so-called missions are also for me to adapt to my identity as a hybrid?" Lu Li asked following Xiaoxue's words.
"Yes." Xiaoxue nodded.
"Then the last mission world..."
"Hamster World," Xiaoxue continued, "Then your hippocampus began to react violently, and there was a short period of brain dormancy. We detected that your brain is repairing itself."
That is to say, the memory world was not arranged in advance and was not monitored...
Lu Li nodded, "I'm afraid it will take some time to fully adapt."
"Of course, after all, thousands of years have passed since the era you lived in."
When Lu Li walked into the data center, he had already learned some real-world situations from the chat with Xiaoxue.
In this highly technologically advanced future world, hybrids have evolved into a species comparable to humans. They are like the fourth race of humans other than black, white and yellow, living in groups on this earth.At the same time, hybridization technology is also widely used in various places. The low-level hybrids created by this technology have similar functions to animals and are used in military affairs, medical treatment, rescue and all aspects of life...
"We have a lot of human volunteers. Their bodies are defective or disease-ridden, but they hope to implant healthy brains into low-level hybrids to complete certain tasks on their behalf." Xiaoxue brought Lu Li into the data center, and they Passing through the crowded hall, he entered a place similar to a warehouse. Lu Li saw capsule-like objects neatly stacked here. Xiaoxue led him into one of them. Lu Li could see the number on the capsule, SPC7.0 .[-], guidance.
"Now this simulation system is also used for pre-job training for volunteers. They need to experience the hybrids they are about to become in advance." Xiaoxue pointed to the letters on the cabin: "This is the guide series, and this type of hybrids is used to assist Some people with disabilities take care of daily life." Xiaoxue took Lu Li around the capsules in the first few rows, and after a brief introduction, they turned to the last row, where all the capsules were labeled with confidential labels: "This row is all This is your simulation cabin." Xiaoxue said, operating the computer screen of the cabin, removed a small chip-like card, and handed it to Lu Li: "This is all you have in this system. Since the treatment is over, this is your privacy and we have no right to keep it." She smiled: "The cabin will be activated after reading the file, and you are still in the recovery period, so you can return to the cabin at any time , for a hybrid experience."
"It's like... playing a game?" Lu Li murmured, stretching out his hand to caress the cabin, he still found it inconceivable that the owners of all the worlds came from his subconscious mind.
"Lu Li, let me take you for a walk around this scientific research park, and take you back to where you live. You need to take a good rest." Xiaoxue patted Lu Li on the shoulder: "You just woke up, don't think too much."
Just like that, Lu Li officially returned to the real world and settled down in this place.This is actually a breeding base for hybrids. Lu Li's body was bred here. He can see a large number of hybrids here every day. They look strange, but there are strangers than them, such as Those plants that he had never seen before, and even weirder animals... Lu Li felt as if he had entered an extraterrestrial galaxy.
Indeed, as Xiaoxue said, it will take him a long time to adapt to this future world.
"Looks like today's afternoon tea is not very palatable?" Lu Li was sitting on the grass in the central square, holding a copy of "Xin Yuan Ji Yao" in his hands, and he left the packaged coffee and cake beside him without touching it. .Xiaoxue sat down next to him, opened the bag, squeezed out a small cat-shaped bun, took a bite, and then exclaimed in admiration: "Mm~ the bread in this dessert shop is the best!"
Lu Li glanced at her, and saw that she also took out the coffee and took a big sip by herself, showing a super satisfied expression.Lu Li raised his eyebrows, grabbed the paper bag, rolled it into a small ball the size of a fingernail, and held it in the palm of his hand. The heat from his palm quickly melted the paper ball. Lu Li spread his palm, and the water stain evaporated quickly. , There was a burst of coffee aroma.
"It seems that you have already learned how to use biodegradable paper bags." Xiaoxue smiled: "On the first night in the new world, are you still used to sleeping?"
Lu Li smiled and said nothing, didn't tell her about his insomnia, put the book aside, looked into Xiaoxue's eyes seriously: "I want to go out for a walk."
"Of course." Xiaoxue nodded, gulped down the bread, then grabbed the coffee cup and stood up, winking at Lu Li, "I'll take you for a drive." She paused, showing a mischievous smile: " Don't be intimidated!"
The breeding base is far away from the busy city. They were driving on the main road with few cars on both sides. Even so, Lu Li still couldn't adapt to the driving method like flying an airplane while floating on the driveway. He turned his head out of the window and chose to look at the side of the road. The stretch of coastline is in a daze.
The sky here is still blue, the sea is bluer than the sky, the beach is milky white, and there are no coconut trees. Instead, it is a tree with sky blue broad leaves. The leaves are huge and stretched, like a face Flags fluttering in the air.
Looking at these wonderful scenery, Lu Li began to miss Cang Xuan.
The car drove to the beach and stopped. Lu Li vaguely saw a person standing by the beach, facing the sea, not knowing what he was doing.At this time, Xiaoxue said: "That's my boss, he wants to meet you."
Lu Li was taken aback, and looked at Xiaoxue strangely.
"Although I am a doctor, I am also an 'undercover agent'." Xiaoxue blinked mischievously on purpose, and made a booing gesture: "Keep it secret for me!"
Lu Li frowned, "I'm not in danger, am I?"
Xiaoxue smiled and helped him unlock the door.
When Lu Li got out of the car and stepped on the beach, he suddenly realized that the sand was not actually white. Between the milky white sand grains, there was a mysterious blue fluorescent light shining. He raised his eyebrows and walked towards the man while stepping on the sand. .The sea breeze blew his shirt and messed up his hair, and the sound of the tide rising and falling and the chirping of seagulls could be heard in his ears. The days in this city were very short, and the sun had already turned into a huge fireball in the afternoon. At the end of the coastline, a magnificent glow is rendered, and the sky is reflected in a misty smoke powder and blue-purple, like vanilla ice cream mixed with blueberry sauce.
In this dreamy background, the man turned around and stared quietly at Lu Li.With his back facing the setting sun, his face was covered with a dark shadow, but he slowly opened his arms and embraced Lu Li.
Almost without thinking, Lu Li ran wildly.
At this moment, nothing could stop him from running. His feet stepped on the sand and sank step by step. He wanted to run faster, and faster. Even the few seconds of waiting made him impatient. !
He misses the warmth of that man's embrace, the smell of that man, the softness of his lips and his own, he misses this man, his throbbing heartbeat, violent breathing, the sweat on his forehead, and even the tears in the corners of his eyes It's all from this clamor of missing!
Lu Li threw himself into Cang Xuan's arms, and the latter also hugged him tightly at this moment.
No matter how many questions there were in his mind, the first sentence Lu Li wanted to say was not a question, but an affirmation, very, very sure.
"I'm back!" Lu Li raised his head, looked at the face that haunted him in his dreams, then closed his eyes, accepting this man's pilgrimage kiss.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Cang Xuan whispered, kissing him tenderly, the sound of the sea tide accompanied his beautiful love words: "Lu Li, I miss you, I miss you all the time..."
"Who isn't..." Lu Li snuggled into his arms, and the two of them lingered in the sunlight for a while, as if not only this beach, but even the whole city could no longer accommodate other people.He took Cangxuan's hand, interlocking his fingers, caressing the roots of his fingers ambiguously, looking at Cangxuan's long and beautiful fingers, his tone was full of trust and dependence: "Tell me, what's going on?"
"My brain was discovered 40 years earlier than yours." Cang Xuan put his arms around Lu Li, and the two walked forward along the long coastline: "Because after our brain was frozen, the organization stole my brain , sealed up as a top-secret item..."
"Times have changed and regimes have changed. My organization once controlled the supreme power, but it also suffered the fate of being overthrown. Now, the organization still exists, but it is no longer a terrorist force, but a huge intelligence network. Cangxuan shook his head, seeming to be a little emotional: "I was discovered and awakened by the branch forces organized in this city, but after thousands of years of dormancy, I forgot everything. All their expectations of me, in the end, only It can be pinned on the complete hybrid gene sequence carried by my brain, but for the current civilization, it is just a very ancient string of genetic code."
"So, they reinvented you and only let you run this branch?"
"It took some twists and turns to get the control of this branch, but that's not important." Cang Xuan smiled. During the five years he didn't remember, it took unimaginable effort for ordinary people to gain status, but There is no need for Lu Li to know these things: "Then, I met..." Cang Xuan raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be full of unimaginable emotions about this little episode: "You who appeared out of nowhere, this is like God and me a joke."
Lu Li frowned. At that time, he was a string of brain waves from a virtual data terminal. Under some coincidental bugs, he broke through the four-dimensional time and space and entered a certain data string 30 years ago. This seems absurd. Thousands of years later... Lu Li looked at the unimaginable blue-leaved trees by the sea, and felt that it was not impossible for this to happen.
"God is not kidding, he asked me to wake you up." Lu Li winked mischievously at Cang Xuan, although they were talking about the "truth", Lu Li felt extremely relaxed.
Cang Xuan was amused by him, bowed his head and kissed his forehead: "You are a gift from God to me." He and Lu Li were intimate for a while before withdrawing the topic again: "Probably your appearance stimulated my brain, In the half a year after you disappeared, I gradually recovered all my memories. So, I started looking for you."
"Scientists found me." Lu Li answered.
"It's me." Cangxuan looked at him and straightened his hair that was blown by the sea breeze: "I found you, but you are different from me. I have to let them wake you up so that you can continue your career in science. But I was worried that you would lose your memory like I did, and even cause brain damage, so I found some people and asked them for help."
"who?"
"I hired a team and asked them to design a simulation experience system that can connect brain waves. This technology has matured in this era. The trouble is that I asked him to split my personality tags and compile them into virtual At the same time, I want to get the absolute authority of this system, no matter who uses this system, I can monitor the process in the background like a hacker." Cang Xuan fixedly looked at Lu Li: "You meet in every world The owners I got are all interfaces for me to sneak into the system." Cang Xuan paused: "Then, I will sell this system to scientists who want to wake you up."
"The owner of every world is actually you?!" Lu Li had been certain for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be this way. He asked Cang Xuan, but quickly shook his head. If he really sneaked into the system , and interact with himself, it will be very easy to expose, he should just put his personality label on different owners at random, and then watch the different "self" react in the background, right?
"When I sneak into the system, my brain waves will connect with the owners of each world, and then, like a dream, my brain will be temporarily paralyzed, memory and judgment will become confused, and I can only act and character Behaviors that match the label." Cang Xuan nodded: "In a sense, the owner of every world is me, but it's not the real me." Cang Xuan looked at Lu Li with complicated eyes: "Many times , I can't say what I want to say the most..."
"So, Hei Xuelian, He Ying's spelling, and even other signs that I didn't notice...are you deliberately leaving hints to me?" Lu Li finally found all the clues to his doubts, and he nodded thoughtfully. Nodding his head, he couldn't help but recall the man who looked so much like the owner but wasn't the owner, the man who tried to wake him up several times and appeared in his dreams... Lu Li sighed in relief, and continued to confirm with Cang Xuan: " It was you who brought me into the memory world? To make me completely recall the past?" Lu Li said, feeling a little confused again. Regarding the past memories, he actually only remembered vaguely, and the memory world and the real ones were mixed together. , he knew that everything was going in the same direction, but the details... Lu Li shook his head, like when people sometimes recall things from a long time ago, they only remember the general idea. As for the details, whether he was wearing a white shirt or not? The blue T-shirt, whether I was smiling or silent at the time, whether those images in my impression were relayed by others, or whether they were dreams at all, I can’t always remember.
But those are not so important at the moment.His lover is by his side, there is no need to rely on memories to trace back anything.
Now is the prime time to create memories.
"Xiaoxue said, you are her boss?" Lu Li smiled and changed the subject.He was a little tired from walking, and he pulled Cang Xuan to sit down by the sea, the two adults, still leaning against each other like Siamese twins.
"She was actually the first person who discovered me as a 'hacker'," Cangxuan said in a low voice. "In order to stabilize her, we had a deep talk. I told him, I am your lover, and I want to wake up You, but unlike you, are a responsible person, I don't want them to disturb my ordinary life, so I don't want to appear in the sight of scientists..."
"Nonsense..." Lu Li muttered, his mouth curled up in a cute way, Cang Xuan lowered his head and kissed the corner of his mouth, and laughed, "It's nonsense, she was too young, she was moved, and then turned against her."
"So simple?" Lu Li's eyes widened in disbelief, "This is not the same as the Xiaoxue I know..."
"You are so obsessed with your owner, it's hard for her not to be moved." Cang Xuan smiled, his eyes seemed to sparkle, recalling those worlds, Lu Li's persistence in love always made him understand. Laugh out.The Lu Li he knew was a steadfast person, no matter whether he was steadfast in scientific research or loyal to love now, he has never changed.
Lu Li cut his head and leaned against Cang Xuan's arms. The afterglow of the setting sun filled the sea, and the waves were covered with an intoxicating blush. Lu Li murmured softly, "The tide is rising."
Cang Xuan hummed, and lowered his head to kiss the top of his hair: "After the sun sets, it will be very cold here, go back to the car." He said this, but did not let go of his embrace: "During the period of your recovery, it will be very cold here. , we can date here."
"Stupid or not?" Lu Li suddenly laughed out loud. Cang Xuan raised his head and blinked in a daze, "They allowed me to use the virtual system to adjust myself to the identity of a hybrid." Lu Li said, already Smiling and narrowing his eyes, he shook the chip in his hand: "They also promised that this is my privacy."
Cang Xuan looked at the chip, then looked at Lu Li, his eyes suddenly became elusive, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he lowered his voice, the voice was deep and sexy, it sounded like he was flirting: "Which world do you want to start from?" ?”
Lu Li blushed slightly, leaned close to Cang Xuan's ear, and whispered to him, their whispers were dissipated in the sound of the ebb and flow of the tide, and only each other could hear them.
The last red edge of the setting sun sank into the bottom of the sea, and the sky immediately fell into a dark ambiguity.Seagulls circled the sea, chirping happily.
Everything, finally came to an end.
But tomorrow is another day.
Lu Li and Tang Bin accompanied each other for the rest of their lives. In the last years of their lives, they returned to their motherland and dedicated their bodies and brains to the research center.At this time, the experiment on hybrids has been semi-public. Lu Li saw a generation of hybrids alive and kicking. They really look exactly like Tang Bin, and after so many years, they can still call daddy around the two of them...

Between the milky white sand grains, there was a mysterious blue fluorescent light shining. He raised his eyebrows and walked towards the man while stepping on the sand. .The sea breeze blew his shirt and messed up his hair, and the sound of the tide rising and falling and the chirping of seagulls could be heard in his ears. The days in this city were very short, and the sun had already turned into a huge fireball in the afternoon. At the end of the coastline, a magnificent glow is rendered, and the sky is reflected in a misty smoke powder and blue-purple, like vanilla ice cream mixed with blueberry sauce.
In this dreamy background, the man turned around and stared quietly at Lu Li.With his back facing the setting sun, his face was covered with a dark shadow, but he slowly opened his arms and embraced Lu Li.
Almost without thinking, Lu Li ran wildly.
At this moment, nothing could stop him from running. His feet stepped on the sand and sank step by step. He wanted to run faster, and faster. Even the few seconds of waiting made him impatient. !
He misses the warmth of that man's embrace, the smell of that man, the softness of his lips and his own, he misses this man, his throbbing heartbeat, violent breathing, the sweat on his forehead, and even the tears in the corners of his eyes It's all from this clamor of missing!
Lu Li threw himself into Cang Xuan's arms, and the latter also hugged him tightly at this moment.
No matter how many questions there were in his mind, the first sentence Lu Li wanted to say was not a question, but an affirmation, very, very sure.
"I'm back!" Lu Li raised his head, looked at the face that haunted him in his dreams, then closed his eyes, accepting this man's pilgrimage kiss.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Cang Xuan whispered, kissing him tenderly, the sound of the sea tide accompanied his beautiful love words: "Lu Li, I miss you, I miss you all the time..."
"Who isn't..." Lu Li snuggled into his arms, and the two of them lingered in the sunlight for a while, as if not only this beach, but even the whole city could no longer accommodate other people.He took Cangxuan's hand, interlocking his fingers, caressing the roots of his fingers ambiguously, looking at Cangxuan's long and beautiful fingers, his tone was full of trust and dependence: "Tell me, what's going on?"
"My brain was discovered 40 years earlier than yours." Cang Xuan put his arms around Lu Li, and the two walked forward along the long coastline: "Because after our brain was frozen, the organization stole my brain , sealed up as a top-secret item..."
"Times have changed and regimes have changed. My organization once controlled the supreme power, but it also suffered the fate of being overthrown. Now, the organization still exists, but it is no longer a terrorist force, but a huge intelligence network. Cangxuan shook his head, seeming to be a little emotional: "I was discovered and awakened by the branch forces organized in this city, but after thousands of years of dormancy, I forgot everything. All their expectations of me, in the end, only It can be pinned on the complete hybrid gene sequence carried by my brain, but for the current civilization, it is just a very ancient string of genetic code."
"So, they reinvented you and only let you run this branch?"
"It took some twists and turns to get the control of this branch, but that's not important." Cang Xuan smiled. During the five years he didn't remember, it took unimaginable effort for ordinary people to gain status, but There is no need for Lu Li to know these things: "Then, I met..." Cang Xuan raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be full of unimaginable emotions about this little episode: "You who appeared out of nowhere, this is like God and me a joke."
Lu Li frowned. At that time, he was a string of brain waves from a virtual data terminal. Under some coincidental bugs, he broke through the four-dimensional time and space and entered a certain data string 30 years ago. This seems absurd. Thousands of years later... Lu Li looked at the unimaginable blue-leaved trees by the sea, and felt that it was not impossible for this to happen.
"God is not kidding, he asked me to wake you up." Lu Li winked mischievously at Cang Xuan, although they were talking about the "truth", Lu Li felt extremely relaxed.
Cang Xuan was amused by him, bowed his head and kissed his forehead: "You are a gift from God to me." He and Lu Li were intimate for a while before withdrawing the topic again: "Probably your appearance stimulated my brain, In the half a year after you disappeared, I gradually recovered all my memories. So, I started looking for you."
"Scientists found me." Lu Li answered.
"It's me." Cangxuan looked at him and straightened his hair that was blown by the sea breeze: "I found you, but you are different from me. I have to let them wake you up so that you can continue your career in science. But I was worried that you would lose your memory like I did, and even cause brain damage, so I found some people and asked them for help."
"who?"
"I hired a team and asked them to design a simulation experience system that can connect brain waves. This technology has matured in this era. The trouble is that I asked him to split my personality tags and compile them into virtual At the same time, I want to get the absolute authority of this system, no matter who uses this system, I can monitor the process in the background like a hacker." Cang Xuan fixedly looked at Lu Li: "You meet in every world The owners I got are all interfaces for me to sneak into the system." Cang Xuan paused: "Then, I will sell this system to scientists who want to wake you up."
"The owner of every world is actually you?!" Lu Li had been certain for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be this way. He asked Cang Xuan, but quickly shook his head. If he really sneaked into the system , and interact with himself, it will be very easy to expose, he should just put his personality label on different owners at random, and then watch the different "self" react in the background, right?
"When I sneak into the system, my brain waves will connect with the owners of each world, and then, like a dream, my brain will be temporarily paralyzed, memory and judgment will become confused, and I can only act and character Behaviors that match the label." Cang Xuan nodded: "In a sense, the owner of every world is me, but it's not the real me." Cang Xuan looked at Lu Li with complicated eyes: "Many times , I can't say what I want to say the most..."
"So, Hei Xuelian, He Ying's spelling, and even other signs that I didn't notice...are you deliberately leaving hints to me?" Lu Li finally found all the clues to his doubts, and he nodded thoughtfully. Nodding his head, he couldn't help but recall the man who looked so much like the owner but wasn't the owner, the man who tried to wake him up several times and appeared in his dreams... Lu Li sighed in relief, and continued to confirm with Cang Xuan: " It was you who brought me into the memory world? To make me completely recall the past?" Lu Li said, feeling a little confused again. Regarding the past memories, he actually only remembered vaguely, and the memory world and the real ones were mixed together. , he knew that everything was going in the same direction, but the details... Lu Li shook his head, like when people sometimes recall things from a long time ago, they only remember the general idea. As for the details, whether he was wearing a white shirt or not? The blue T-shirt, whether I was smiling or silent at the time, whether those images in my impression were relayed by others, or whether they were dreams at all, I can’t always remember.
But those are not so important at the moment.His lover is by his side, there is no need to rely on memories to trace back anything.
Now is the prime time to create memories.
"Xiaoxue said, you are her boss?" Lu Li smiled and changed the subject.He was a little tired from walking, and he pulled Cang Xuan to sit down by the sea, the two adults, still leaning against each other like Siamese twins.
"She was actually the first person who discovered me as a 'hacker'," Cangxuan said in a low voice. "In order to stabilize her, we had a deep talk. I told him, I am your lover, and I want to wake up You, but unlike you, are a responsible person, I don't want them to disturb my ordinary life, so I don't want to appear in the sight of scientists..."
"Nonsense..." Lu Li muttered, his mouth curled up in a cute way, Cang Xuan lowered his head and kissed the corner of his mouth, and laughed, "It's nonsense, she was too young, she was moved, and then turned against her."
"So simple?" Lu Li's eyes widened in disbelief, "This is not the same as the Xiaoxue I know..."
"You are so obsessed with your owner, it's hard for her not to be moved." Cang Xuan smiled, his eyes seemed to sparkle, recalling those worlds, Lu Li's persistence in love always made him understand. Laugh out.The Lu Li he knew was a steadfast person, no matter whether he was steadfast in scientific research or loyal to love now, he has never changed.
Lu Li cut his head and leaned against Cang Xuan's arms. The afterglow of the setting sun filled the sea, and the waves were covered with an intoxicating blush. Lu Li murmured softly, "The tide is rising."
Cang Xuan hummed, and lowered his head to kiss the top of his hair: "After the sun sets, it will be very cold here, go back to the car." He said this, but did not let go of his embrace: "During the period of your recovery, it will be very cold here. , we can date here."
"Stupid or not?" Lu Li suddenly laughed out loud. Cang Xuan raised his head and blinked in a daze, "They allowed me to use the virtual system to adjust myself to the identity of a hybrid." Lu Li said, already Smiling and narrowing his eyes, he shook the chip in his hand: "They also promised that this is my privacy."
Cang Xuan looked at the chip, then looked at Lu Li, his eyes suddenly became elusive, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he lowered his voice, the voice was deep and sexy, it sounded like he was flirting: "Which world do you want to start from?" ?”
Lu Li blushed slightly, leaned close to Cang Xuan's ear, and whispered to him, their whispers were dissipated in the sound of the ebb and flow of the tide, and only each other could hear them.
The last red edge of the setting sun sank into the bottom of the sea, and the sky immediately fell into a dark ambiguity.Seagulls circled the sea, chirping happily.
Everything, finally came to an end.
But tomorrow is another day.
