Because he arrived early, Xu Ziran sat in a restaurant box next to the funeral parlor and waited for a while.

But the mission was still not revoked. Obviously, the so-called "participation" also had a fixed standard, not just seeing the hearse.

Xu Ziran was actually not interested in completing this task, but he was overwhelmed by this matter and panicked inexplicably, so he struggled for a long time, and decided to go in to see the situation.

As a result, as soon as he stood up, he received a text message from an unknown number on his mobile phone—unknown number: Why don't you come in? ,

Xu Ziran sat down instead.

Xu Ziran: Who are you?

Unknown number: Qiu Yurou.

Xu Ziran was taken aback for a moment, the other party's words this time were too blunt, and she didn't make a fuss at all, but it made her a little unaccustomed to it?

Qiu Yurou who sent messages from an unknown number?Presumably it should be "that" Qiu Yurou.

She hesitated for a moment, and typed again as she walked out——you are attached to your body again...

Before I finished typing, another message was sent: Where are you?

Xu Ziran raised his eyebrows.

She clearly sent Qiu Yurou her location before. Although the other party used a new number, if it was Qiu Yurou's body, she should know where she is.

So she deleted the typed words and resent the sentence: I am coming in.

Anyway, she was going to go in and have a look.

This is not the first time for Xu Ziran to come to a funeral home. The older he gets, the more he realizes that life and death are nothing but ordinary things, and the people who come and go in the funeral home are often not heartbroken people, but more numb and meaningless onlookers.

When entering the door, Xu Ziran heard the system remind - [mission progress is 20.00% complete. 】

Xu Ziran didn't meet any receptionist, so Xu Ziran went in directly, because the place is not big, Xu Ziran didn't walk for long before bumping into someone he was familiar with.

Qiu Yurou's mother, Shen Feiyao, was sitting on a bench in the corridor, chatting with a middle-aged woman, and the topic of the conversation was about what to eat for lunch.

When Xu Ziran came close, Shen Feiyao happened to raise her head, her expression was stunned, and she didn't speak.

Xu Ziran looked at her, not sure if he wanted to say hello or not.

But in the next second, she knew what she should do, because Shen Feiyao lowered her head as if nothing had happened, and continued to chat with the person next to her, so Xu Ziran also pretended not to squint, and walked over directly.

——【The mission progress is 30.00% complete. 】

A group of people stood in front, probably relatives of Bai Yuge, chatting.

One person asked, "How long will it take to burn?"

One person replied: "I guess it will be soon. They said that the food is ready, and everyone can eat it when they go back."

Another person said: "How is the vegetable money calculated?"

Answer soon...

Xu Ziran thought to himself: It's really strange, how much people like to eat, after all, it's all about this kind of thing.

She looked among the group of people, but she didn't see Qiu Yurou. She was thinking about calling to ask where Qiu Yurou was now, when she heard someone from the crowd say, "Why is that girl from the Liu family here?"

Xu Ziran paused.

"Say they're good friends."

"That's not what I heard..."

"What did you say?"

"It's...that kind of relationship?"

"what relationship?"

"The kind between men and women."

"Die, those two are..."

"There are a lot of little girls playing this now."

With a calm expression, Xu Ziran coughed and interjected, "Hello, I want to ask one thing."

Everyone looked at her together.

Xu Ziran was unusually calm: "I'm Liu Yizhen's friend, I'm here to look for her, where is she?"

Everyone suddenly realized, and one of them pointed out a direction: "She is going that way."

Xu Ziran thanked him with a smile, turned around and walked in that direction, the moment he turned around, his smile became serious.

Liu Yizhen was indeed here.

In other words, the "error code" did not lie to her, nor did she give a wrong message. What the other party said was very credible.

Xu Ziran walked along the corridor for a while, and saw a small door. The small door was opened slightly, and the sound outside could be heard slightly.

Xu Ziran stepped forward, saw a small garden and a small pavilion through the crack of the door, and at the same time saw the people sitting in the pavilion.

She was very surprised.

Because besides Qiu Yurou and Liu Yizhen, there was actually Yao Jinling in the pavilion.

The distance was still a bit far away, Xu Ziran couldn't hear their conversation, or the three of them didn't say anything at all, Liu Yizhen and Qiu Yurou seemed to be playing chess, while Yao Jinling was playing with his mobile phone with his head down.

Xu Ziran was thinking whether to go out directly, the phone in his pocket vibrated again, Xu Ziran took out the phone, and saw the text message from the unknown number again——

UNKNOWN NUMBER: 10 minutes.

Xu Ziran looked at Qiu Yurou who was concentrating on playing chess outside, and thought to herself, she really didn't send this message.

At the same time, she frowned and thought, not understanding what this meant.

So she replied: What do you mean?What happens if you don't arrive in 10 minutes?

Unknown number: There are still 10 minutes until the cremation ends, Liu Yi really can't lose.

Xu Ziran: Why can't I lose?

Unknown Number: Looks like you've arrived.

Xu Ziran was dumbfounded.

The other party knew her too well, so she disarmed and surrendered with just one sentence.

She smiled wryly, and was about to put away her phone and open the door to go out, when she saw a new text message——

Unknown number: delaying time, interrupting the game.

Xu Ziran opened the door thoughtfully, and walked out.

The old door made a sound as it was being pushed, and the three people not far away raised their heads.

Qiu Yurou showed surprise, but quickly stood up and walked over to greet her.

Xu Ziran put almost all his attention on Qiu Yurou, so he was sure that the other party was still his own Qiu Yurou.

How did the "unknown number" work?

While holding Qiu Yurou's hand who came over, Xu Ziran also observed the other people present, Liu Yizhen looked up at her and then quickly looked down at the chess game, Yao Jinling continued to look down at the phone.

Qiu Yurou whispered, "Did you wait too long?"

"That's not the problem, it doesn't matter if you come in?"

"It doesn't matter, other people may not all be close."

Xu Ziran and Qiu Yurou walked into the pavilion together, Xu Ziran glanced at the round table in the middle and found that they were playing chess.

Xu Ziran only roughly understood the rules of chess, and was reluctant to speak, but because of delaying time, he still asked, "Why are you playing chess?"

Before Qiu Yurou could answer, Liu Yizhen lazily said, "It's boring, there's nothing to do anyway."

While saying this, Liu Yizhen cast his eyes on Qiu Yurou.

Qiu Yurou hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing, and pulled Xu Ziran to sit down.

Seeing Qiu Yurou like this, Xu Ziran knew that there was something inside the matter, but when the other party covered it up like this, she didn't ask any questions. After sitting on the stool, she went to say hello to Yao Jinling who was beside her.

"Teacher Yao, I didn't expect you to be here."

Yao Jinling looked up at her.

Xu Ziran's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly shook his head in his heart, wondering if he had been stimulated recently, and no matter how he saw anyone, he felt something was wrong.

Yao Jinling replied: "I came here by accident and wanted to see the chess game."

Because Xu Ziran held Qiu Yurou's hand for playing chess, Qiu Yurou twitched it and said, "Cuman, let go of your hand first."

Xu Ziran let go, but did not let the two continue playing chess, but asked: "How long have you been here? When will it end?"

Liu Yi patted the table impatiently: "Do you have a tutor? Don't you know how to sit quietly on the side under such circumstances?"

She said this, but no one responded. The other three people present only looked at her, looked at her quietly for a moment, and then continued talking.

Qiu Yu said softly, "There are probably a few more minutes."

Having said that, she looked at her watch and said in surprise, "I'm leaving in six or seven minutes."

Liu Yizhen then said: "Then hurry up."

Qiu Yurou then concentrated and continued to play chess.

Xu Ziran scolded herself for being too stupid in her heart, how could she remind them of the time at this time.

Holding the bag in his arms, Xu Ziran was thinking about countermeasures, thinking about it, and then remembered the thing about pretending to be sick in order to skip class when he was a child.

Although sometimes even the teacher suspects that it is fake to pretend to be sick, but because it is difficult to verify, it is generally tried and tested.

Thinking of this, Xu Ziran lowered his head and held his breath, frowning.

She held back for a while, but seeing that no one noticed her abnormality, she simply pulled off the clothes of Yao Jinling next to her.

Yao Jinling remained silent.

Xu Ziran raised his head, and was about to remind Yao Jinling to look at him, but he saw that the other party was looking at her, his eyes hardly blinking.

The honey-colored pupils are like honey, almost a little sweet in the bright sunshine.

After a while, Yao Jinling said, "Are you feeling unwell?"

The voice is very calm, not surprised at all.

On the contrary, when Qiu Yurou heard this, she suddenly jumped out of her chess-playing concentration and looked at Xu Ziran.

Xu Ziran also looked at her.

Qiu Yurou was still a little worried at first, but when she looked at it, she became confused and said, "Cuman, do you—have a stomachache?"

Obviously, there is an essential difference between Qiu Yurou and Teacher, that is, the teacher really can't tell if you are really uncomfortable, but Qiu Yurou can.

Xu Ziran bit the bullet and said: "...Maybe, maybe it's dysmenorrhea."

Of course Qiu Yurou knew Xu Ziran's cycle, so she immediately guessed that the other party was lying, but after guessing, she no longer questioned, but said: "I'll take you back to have a rest."

Xu Ziran pretended to be in pain: "No, I'll just rest on the side."

"That's not good, how can you bear this kind of thing..."

The two talked nonsense for a long time, and finally Liu Yizhen couldn't take it anymore: "...If this continues, you will be counted as a loser."

Yao Jinling said on the side: "There is no such reason, I am a notary."

Liu Yizhen sneered: "That's because she procrastinated and couldn't tell the winner."

Yao Jinling said: "You can suspend the chess game, and we can talk about it next time."

Liu Yizhen wanted to say something again, but the phone rang.

There are two ringing mobile phones, one belongs to Liu Yizhen, and the other belongs to Qiu Yurou.

The two picked up the phone and hung up after saying a few words.

Qiu Yuju said: "The cremation is over, we have to leave."

Liu Yizhen didn't speak, but showed unwillingness in his expression, and turned to leave.

A small door not far away was opened, and Shen Feiyao stood there and shouted: "Let's go."

Qiu Yurou looked at Xu Ziran: "How about I go back with you?"

Xu Ziran looked at [task completed 50.00%] on the system, and said, "No, I'm right next to you and won't disturb you."

Having said that, Qiu Yurou didn't say much, because Shen Feiyao urged her too hard, so she left first, leaving Xu Ziran and Yao Jinling to clean up the chessboard.

The sun slanted in and shone on the fingers of the two who were picking up the chess pieces. Xu Ziran looked at Yao Jinling's movements and said, "How did you do it?"

Yao Jinling paused her fingers and smiled: "You found out."

"How could you not find out, you didn't hide it at all."

"It's not that I don't hide it. Pretending to be someone else is already very difficult."

Xu Ziran felt a little weird, originally coming from the future was a science fiction thing, but now it seems to be more spiritual: "You have Yao Jinling's body, does she know?"

Yao Jinling looked at Xu Ziran: "She knows, she agreed to this matter."

Xu Ziran didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is this still acceptable? Sign a contract."

"Yao Jinling" nodded: "It's like this, everything has a price, living in the present is the same, and going back to the past is also the same."

Xu Ziran's heart skipped a beat: "What price?"

"Yao Jinling" said: "Change the future."

Xu Ziran smacked in his heart, thinking about what the price would be, and said, "Then are you changing the future now?"

The other party didn't answer, put away the chess pieces neatly, put the lid on, and asked abruptly, "What kind of future do you hope for?"

Although Xu Ziran didn't know why the other party asked such a question, he still replied: "I don't know if it's a bit hypocritical to say this, but I still hope that everyone—at least everyone I know can be happier."

I hope that the people I love and those who love me will be happy and love health—in fact, this is Xu Ziran's long-standing wish.

"That's right..." The other party seemed to be sighing.

"That's right, maybe it's also selfish. In this way, I can be happier."

After saying this, Xu Ziran felt very sour, so he asked, "Then what kind of future do you hope for?"

Xu Ziran asked this question, naturally with a purpose, that is, to hope that the other party can tell her specific plans and goals, otherwise it would always appear like this from time to time, Xu Ziran was really at a loss.

She looked at the other person's face and observed the other person's expression.

However, the other party's expression was nothing special, and he even blurted out as if he hadn't thought about anything.

She said: "I hope the future - you can be happy."
