Journey to the Rose

Everyone is still moving forward.

"What's the matter?" Ruan Xi saw that Lu Zhenghe didn't speak, "Didn't you think that I can make trouble?"

I already knew that.

Lu Zhenghe didn't say this, but squeezed his palm, thinking why he felt softer today.

With a smile on his face, he led Ruan Xi around the uneven road, and confessed: "It's okay. You beat me up when we first met, and I can tell."

Ruan Xi moved her mouth, dissatisfied: "It's obviously a fight."

Who did it first?But Lu Zhenghe still agreed: "Indeed."

Ruan Xi snorted.

There was no expression on his face, and the slightly upturned corners of his lips showed his satisfaction.

"Wen Kai said that there will be ground fission after dusk, if..." Lu Zhenghe paused, looked at Ruan Xi's side face, kept walking, as if he couldn't say the words "I'm dead", so he had to automatically mute the sound , continued, "How often can you tell me what else happened to us?"

He thought of Ruan Xi's eyes that often looked at him, it was a kind of softness that almost made people cry.

Lu Zhenghe couldn't express his feelings, and couldn't find the root of the problem.He began to gradually put himself into the "before" mentioned by Ruan Xi, and he also believed more and more that Ruan Xi had many things hidden from him.

What else happened to us?

There are too many, and I can't finish it all day and night.

You are my ex-boyfriend, the kind of scumbag who disappeared without saying a word, without even bringing his head back, and disappeared for four years.Four years later, when we came back to meet each other, he even said to me cheaply: Are you broken in love?

I was so angry that my seven orifices smoked.

You say you want to be beaten, if I don't beat you, who will you beat?

Ruan Xi angrily kicked away a few stones blocking her feet on the ground, and lowered her face: "I feel like I promised you something similar before."

"I promised." Lu Zhenghe was tired and slowed down a little, "but you didn't say it."

"I……"

Ruan Xi squeezed the opponent's hand, and the emotion of wanting to explode was suppressed by reason, "I don't know how to speak."

Because Lu Zhenghe couldn't remember the things he was about to tell.He was afraid that Lu Zhenghe would just listen to them as stories without any empathy, and he would not be able to bear it.

Four years are like a mirror.

Now Lu Zhenghe appeared, and Ruan Xi only saw time and illusion from the mirror.

Thinking of this, Ruan Xi sighed, "You know what? People say that a memory is only real if two people remember it together. If only one person remembers it, it is a dream."

"Are you minding that I don't remember."

"Anyone will mind, after all, no one wants to be forgotten."

"Before you," Lu Zhenghe paused, as if hesitating whether to ask, "Is the sweetheart you kept talking about the old me?"

Then Ruan Xi nodded very quickly.

"Then I'll wait for the day you want to talk about it." Lu Zhenghe understood him, and knew that this kind of thing should not be rushed, so he walked forward for a while, and didn't mention it again.

Song Shumian felt that Li Shen was much stronger than Gu Zirong.

The two people seem to be not much different in size, but when Li Shen carried the person on his back, it was like sitting on a cushion. The "service" was quite thoughtful and his steps were steady.

Looking at the two companions who were exhausted and out of breath because of carrying him, Song Shumian was extremely guilty, and honorably contributed the matcha cake bought in the market on the way.Li Shen and Gu Zirong ate happily, and naturally they did the "porting work" perfectly.Li Shen talked a lot, and he told Song Shumian about this and that along the way, Song Shumian couldn't help sighing, people like Li Shen who have been traveling all the year round tell stories differently.

"After turning over the small hill in front, the next city will arrive." Li Shen supported Song Shumian's thigh, very careful, not to hurt him, "When you get there, you will find that the ground is emitting The luster of gemstones."

"I seem to have heard it a little bit. I heard it from the teacher." Song Shumian was slowly recovering his strength, counting the 26 letters of the city with his fingers, and his tone became excited: "The next city is called Jewel?"

"Yes, because they dug out the most gemstones in the whole land," Li Shen said, "They also have a treasure called..."

Song Shumian: "Ruan Xi?"

Three black lines hung on Li Shen's face: "Not everyone's baby is called Ruan Xi."

Song Shumian: "Which family is yours? Isn't Ruan Xi the treasure of the whole land?"

"Right……"

Li Shen nodded: "God is quite partial to him, and he actually gave this kind of name to him alone."

Song Shumian laughed, and sneaked a glance at Ruan Xi.

While chatting and laughing tiredly, Ruan Xi was held by Lu Zhenghe's hand, turning his face to talk to Lu Zhenghe from time to time, his profile and figure were perfect one in a million.When he was listening to others, his eyes seemed to be radiating attractive gazes. He obviously had a cold and talkative character on the surface, but he always had a magical power that wanted people to get close to him.Such a person is indeed worthy of being favored.

Sighing, Song Shumian couldn't hide his envy.

He lowered his head, put his chin on Li Shen's shoulder, and brought the topic back: "What's the name of that baby you're talking about?"

"Time and space mirror," Li Shen was still relishing the sweetness of the matcha cake just now, "it is said that it has been lost in the sea of ​​eternity. I don't know if it has been picked up by someone with great powers in recent years."

"What's that for?"

"Actually, it's not a mirror, it's a big gem."

"……Oh."

Song Shumian was silent, and whispered: "Our family has many."

Fortunately, Song Shumian was carried behind Li Shen's back, otherwise he would have seen Li Shenzheng's expression of "ah, his family is so rich".

"No, no, that's different." Li Shen corrected him, "The gemstone I'm talking about is very big and very beautiful."

Song Shumian said: "The precious stones are all beautiful."

Li Shen said: "But it is born in one stone with two colors, and the color transitions from lake blue to pure white. The most special thing about it...it is also very magical."

"Why is it amazing?" Song Shumian, who has a lot of money at home but has not seen much of the world, said like this.

What Li Shen and Song Shumian didn't realize was that Ruan Xi, who was walking in front, had quietly slowed down, ready to eavesdrop on Li Shen's next sentence—

"People can see their most painful past through it." Li Shen said.

Ruan Xi resisted the urge to turn around and ask questions.

In a tacit understanding, Lu Zhenghe also cast his gaze over.

What will be the most painful memory?

·

Gradually, Ruan Xi found that the soil on the ground was no longer so slippery.

The journey is long, stop and go, they seem to have experienced several hours before departure.

Ruan Xi rubbed his arms, rubbed his legs, and thumped Lu Zhenghe's shoulders, bent down to support his knees, "Have we entered the territory of Jewel City? Lu Zhenghe, take your communicator to see if there is a welcome message?"

"This city is relatively dangerous. There is a black industrial chain all year round. There shouldn't be a special department to manage these." Lu Zhenghe paused, "Also, my communication device was left on the boat."

"Ah, I'm sorry." Ruan Xi thought he had poked him sorely, "What about the headset?"

Lu Zhenghe shook the microphone and laughed: "It's still there." After speaking, he realized that they had crossed the last small hill.

"This piece of ground was originally uneven. The hills accounted for about 70.00% of the city's total area. Later, the city's ground was leveled because of gem mining." Wen Kai stopped and waited for them to follow, sweat running down his neck back into the spine.

Ruan Xi stood at the top of a small hill.

The originally muddy land under his feet subtly turned into a green lawn, but this eye-catching green did not last long, but stopped at the foot of the hillside.Instead, there are colorful "bricks" all over the place, tiled and spliced ​​together, and a large area of ​​colored floor tiles spread from the bottom, exuding a faint luster.

Some of the residents who fled together walked ahead, walking in twos and threes on the colored floor tiles.The floor tiles are laid flat and clean, forming a path extending forward.Not far from the end of the path, there is Jewel City, where the buildings are generally not too high, and that is the place they must pass by.

On both sides of the path is a bottomless black ocean.

The waves rolled and slapped on the floor tiles of the path, and the famous "Eternal Sea" showed a gray color under the contrast of colors.

"Go down," Wen Kai charged forward, "Let's go there holding hands so as not to slip and fall into the sea."

"This road is quite dangerous," Li Shen said helplessly, "I don't know which idiot repaired it, it must have drowned many people."

"It's good to have a way, and you still scold others?" Wen Kai understood, "But, the sea of ​​eternity... is a cannibal. What can be eternal? Only death is eternal."

Li Shen scoffed at these remarks and said, "Don't instill negative energy in me."

Ruan Xi was bold and careful, and frowned slightly after hearing what Wen Kai said: "Cannibalism?"

"There are many waves on the sea surface and it is not stable."

As Wen Kai said, he looked at the sky, "It's not long before dark, let's go quickly."

So they ran down the lawn with the crowd.

As soon as they ran away, the other residents who were walking around panicked. I don't know who shouted "Come on" at the top of their voices, and then everyone didn't know what was coming. Regardless of 21 or [-], they all followed the flow of people Run wildly away from the surging place.The whole scene was in chaos, and amid the noise, there was a sense of impending disaster and escape from the Jedi.

Gu Zirong was quite relaxed carrying Song Shumian on his back, but he was taken aback by the crowd's panic, and gasped, "Why, why are you running..."

"They are all people with a single heart," Wen Kai took off his gloves to fan the wind, and slowed down, "I can only follow the wind."

Li Shen said: "Let's slow down, don't squeeze."

The "adventure" without a car is much better than walking on legs. Ruan Xi used to think that the big car was too bulky and the speed was slow, but now she doesn't want to dislike it at all, and some just miss it.Now they are scrambling to run forward with a lot of things on their backs, which is really a test of physical strength.

Looking around, as long as there are people with luggage, only Li Shen, Wen Kai, Gu Zirong and Lu Zhenghe are a little more relaxed, and the others are basically out of breath.

Ruan Xi sat on the exposed rock next to her to rest her breath. Feeling the barnacle corpse clinging to her buttocks, she took a breath, and then immediately stood up and patted the gravel on her pants.

After the filming was over, he realized that he had reacted just now, and he might have looked a little silly. He was about to look around to see if he found anything, but he happened to meet Lu Zhenghe's smiling eyes.

"It hurts?" Lu Zhenghe stretched out his arm to him, "Come here and rub it for you."

Ruan Xi blushed, grinning at his gloating attitude, and hummed, "Get out."

"Stand and rest for a while," Lu Zhenghe took the initiative to walk over, comforting him with his own breath, "This city is relatively unknown, and it's not safe anywhere."

"understood."

Ruan Xi always paid more attention to her personal safety, so she nodded obediently.He saw another sack on Lu Zhenghe's back, and he didn't know who was tired from walking, so he hit the sack lightly with his fist, raised his chin, and said, "I found that you are quite powerful." .How many hours a day do you usually train?"

Lu Zhenghe: "Don't ask you, just ask you."

Ruan Xi: "If you're so stingy, you'll be jealous."

Lu Zhenghe: "Just eat."

Ruan Xi: "..."

Jewel·49 black night and sea.
