[Rat cat] Mirror City

"..." After reading the original booklet, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were speechless for a long time.Xu Yuqi and Chen Mu, their lives are destined not to be together.How did a person survive such pain.

"Because there is nowhere to escape." Bai Yutang told Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce this answer. This kind of pain is the most terrifying, because when you come to your senses, it cares about obliterating every corner of your world.

The three of them stared at the booklet in silence, suddenly not knowing what to do next, without a clue.

A gust of wind suddenly blew outside the window, blowing towards the three of them with a coolness that could not be ignored.Zhan Zhao and the others subconsciously turned their faces away, closed their eyes sadly, and could only hear the sound of the wind blowing the pages of the book, rustling, rustling.

The gust of wind came and went quickly.The moment the wind stopped, there was silence all around.When Zhan Zhao turned his head, he saw that the booklet on the table had been blown to the last page, and there seemed to be something written on it.

"Go and have a look." While in a daze, Zhan Zhao seemed to hear a soft female voice ringing in his ears, as if coming through many obstacles.This voice is so familiar.

Zhan Zhao looked around in surprise, but saw nothing.

Bai Yutang noticed Zhan Zhao's abnormality, and asked worriedly, "Cat, what's wrong?"

"It seems that I heard Xu Shuyan's voice." Zhan Zhao said uncertainly, but still picked up the small notebook on the table as the voice said, and all three of them read what was written on it.

"It would be nice if... you could do it again."

When Xu Yuqi wrote these words, she wrote them very forcefully. Just from the handwriting, it can be seen how persistent she is.When Bai Yutang looked up, he saw the hanging paintings.

Just imagine, if he spends the rest of his life alone in this small courtyard, full of regret and grief in his heart, he can only draw the happy scenes of the past, write down the memories of the past with notes, and look up at them when he is sad... Heh... She never Never let go.

"Oops!" Zhan Zhao exclaimed, thinking of what Bai Yutang had just thought.Decades of loneliness, the happiness of the past three is Xu Yuqi's only obsession.

Therefore, all the abnormalities they experienced in their dreams were because Xu Yuqi did it.She made up a dream, and then wanted to pull Chen Mu into it. She thought that if she didn't repeat the past, the tragedy would not happen.This should have worked, but it didn't.

Because of her lack of strength.That dream has another master.So every time she changes something, something else happens to fix it.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang understood that they spent that flat month in their dreams at the beginning because of Xu Yuqi's hope, so they spent it like this.

But Xu Yuqi began to change later, so another controller came to correct it.If she wants to change the tragedy, she will pay a greater price and meet a greater tragedy.

It was not Xu Yuqi's plan that they were brought into the dream.And Xu Yuqi's plan is to let Chen Mu stay in the dream she created and live a "happy" life.

Now that they came out, what about Chen Mu... A bad feeling welled up in his heart, Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Gongsun Ce rushed to the door at the same time.

At the door, the three of them stopped at the same time, because under the almond blossom tree, there was a woman in a white plain dress with her hair in a bun standing, looking at the three of them.

This face... is not that lively, nor is it calm or even cold after tearing off the disguise, only plain, plain that sees through everything.

"Xu Shuyan." Zhan Zhao called her softly, not daring to speak too loudly, she looked too weak to withstand a little wind, even if he spoke a little louder, it would break her.

"It's me, I'm sorry for involving you in this matter." Xu Shuyan apologized to the three of them, "I just hope you can help my sister and Chen Mu."

"You brought us in?" Zhan Zhao looked at Xu Shuyan in amazement, how did she do it.

Knowing Zhan Zhao's question, Xu Shuyan raised his head.Affected by her, Zhan Zhao, Gongsun Ce and Bai Yutang also raised their heads at the same time, and saw the strange dress on the apricot tree.

This dress... "You gave it to Xu Yuqi back then." Bai Yutang said, almost sure.

"Yes." Xu Shuyan nodded.

Xu Shuyan's attitude made the three of them understand that whether it was Xu Yuqi or Xu Shuyan, they all survived by relying on this dress.But Xu Yuqi didn't know about Xu Shuyan's existence.

Xu Yuqi who was attached to Chen Mu sent it, so what was attached to the necks of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang was Xu Shuyan's masterpiece.

"I'm sorry, Yuqi is better than me. I need help. The two of you seem to have experienced similar things. I can feel... breath." Xu Shuyan was still feeling guilty for dragging Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang into a dream.

Gongsun Ce finally understood that he was not brought in because he had never had such an experience.Whether such a reason is good or bad for him.Even Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were speechless, so it was because of their "rich experience".

Speaking of dreams, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought of the apricot tree again, and then remembered what Gongsun Ce said about the silver thread entwining the trunk of the apricot tree. Zhan Zhao asked eagerly, "You are able to use the power of this apricot tree." To reach this point, besides Xu Yuqi, you are also in that dream, right?"

Xu Shuyan is another controller.

Xu Shuyan looked at Zhan Zhao in admiration, "Yes, I'm most fortunate that this tree is still there. But that's why I can't move freely in my dream like Yuqi."

If she could move freely, she could do more to stop these things from happening.It's a pity that the world is like this, and there are gains and losses.

"Is it really good for yourself?" Bai Yutang asked this time.After knowing who the other controller is, who arranged the unexpected ending in Xu Yuqi's dream can be seen through at a glance.

Xu Shuyan's decision shocked even him.She could be so cruel to herself.

"It has to be like this." Xu Shuyan smiled bleakly, how could she not suffer from such an ending, but there are some things that must be done, "However, if I don't do this, how can I give my sister a wake-up call? , what has happened, is in the past. She still doesn't understand."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stopped talking, because Xu Shuyan was right, Xu Yuqi really wanted to create a happy past.If it wasn't for Xu Shuyan's intervention, then Chen Mu's ending...

"What will happen to Chen Mu?" Gongsun Ce was worried about his friend, feeling a little annoyed in his heart, annoyed that he saw his friend in danger, and he was the most powerless of the four.

Hearing this, Xu Shuyan couldn't bear it, "He will live in a dream for the rest of his life, his body will wither, and he will never regenerate."

"How could it be..." They didn't want to see this ending. Chen Mu was innocent. He just carried a person's past life and a relationship, and then returned to this place. This is not the past. His past cannot be made to cost him his future.

"I came here to tell you that I will bring him back. I must tell my silly sister that this should be over." Xu Shuyan put his hand lightly on the tree trunk, slowly leaning towards the tree trunk, submerged in the halo middle.

The surroundings returned to calm again, as quiet as if there had never been an almost transparent woman here.None of Zhan Zhao and the others moved a step. They wanted to stay here and wait for Xu Shuyan to bring Chen Mu back.

And in the dream realm, Chen Mu was equally shocked.He couldn't believe that the woman in his arms had done so many things just to let himself and her sister live a good life and be together.

"It shouldn't be like this..." Xu Yuqi was still weeping, crying on Chen Mu's chest.When she raised her head, she saw Xu Shuyan's body gradually becoming transparent and melting at an extremely fast speed.

"No!" Xu Yuqi threw himself on the ground in panic, but in the end nothing was left behind.Xu Shuyan's body turned into a small spot of light, flew towards the apricot tree, and merged with it.

It was only a little bit short, and Xu Yuqi was able to catch her, but she still slipped through Xu Yuqi's fingers without leaving a trace.

"Why...why!" Xu Yuqi's emotions fluctuated again, and she beat the tree trunk over and over again, "Give me back my sister! Give me back..."

Xu Yuqi tried his best, and his hands were covered with scars.Chen Mu's heart ached again, and he forcibly pulled her back a few steps, "Calm down!"

"What should I do, my sister is gone, my father is gone, what's the point of this world!" Xu Yuqi struggled with all her strength, and a huge wave came from her body, smashing the world into pieces.

Chen Mu just protected her tightly, and when the shock was over, he opened his eyes and found that he had returned to the gray space where he had just woken up.

Here, there is also Xu Yuqi, and that apricot tree.As smart as Chen Mu, how could he not know the significance of that apricot tree.But now he has no time to take care of these, because his mind is full of Xu Yuqi's voice.

There was a voice in his heart retorting violently. Chen Mu was controlled by the impulse in his heart, and hugged Xu Yuqi, "I'm still here! In this world, I'm still here! I'm here with you."

Chen Mu's words stopped all Xu Yuqi's movements, and she let him hug her quietly, but meekness was just a matter of overnight, she retorted excitedly, "No, not with me! It's meaningless without a sister, you guys To be together!"

Xu Yuqi's words made Chen Mu's mind roar continuously. He pressed Xu Yuqi's shoulder, and for no reason, he just roared, "But the person I want to accompany is you!"

The person I want to accompany is you, the person I want to accompany is you, the person I want to accompany is you... This sentence has been repeated countless times in the bottom of my heart, Chen Mu said it unconsciously, the bottom of my heart has been accumulated for many years The relief and uneasiness that the emotions have finally vented, as well as guilt, guilt towards another person.

"..." Xu Yuqi opened and closed his mouth, but couldn't make any sound. He didn't know what to say, what should he say?

Wrong, all wrong.Xu Yuqi murmured silently.

"If you know you're wrong, why continue to make mistakes." A sigh hit the two of them like a thunderbolt.How could they hear this voice wrongly?

Following the source of the sound, Xu Yuqi and Chen Mu looked at the apricot tree at the same time.The apricot tree glowed with light, and the air swirled, and Xu Shuyan appeared in this halo, dressed in white, as gentle as before.

"elder sister……"

"Book words..."

Both Chen Mu and Xu Yuqi were so excited, but they didn't dare to take a step.She was afraid that if she moved, the dream-like person in front of her would disappear. She hadn't seen it twice, so the third time was also possible.

Seeing the silly expressions of the two, Xu Shuyan covered his mouth and smiled slightly, "What's the matter, silly." If it wasn't for the gray surroundings, and if this was still the backyard of the Xu family, it would be like going back to the past .

"Sister!" Xu Yuqi's eyes were hot, and she threw herself in front of Xu Shuyan, but her hands were carefully wrapped around her back, for fear of hurting her.

Xu Shuyan stroked Xu Yuqi's hair lightly, answering Xu Yuqi's every call.She took a deep look at Chen Mu, and that gaze made Chen Mu stiff, guilt, shame, apology, joy mixed together, almost uncontrollable.Xu Shuyan's eyes shook him.

"You still said it." Xu Shuyan sighed leisurely.

Xu Yuqi and Chen Mu froze at the same time. They both knew what Xu Shuyan was referring to.The relationship between the three of them, after so many years of precipitation, finally waited for a final word.

"Sister, no..." Xu Yuqi wanted to explain, but was stopped by Xu Shuyan.Xu Shuyan said softly, "Chen Mu, I want to send you back."

Xu Shuyan's words surprised both Xu Yuqi and Chen Mu. Go back, where are you going?

"Sister...brother-in-law has agreed to stay, where do you want him to go?" Xu Yuqi panicked.

As soon as Chen Mu opened his mouth, Xu Shuyan interrupted him, "Yuqi, look at this place, how else does it look like our former home."

Xu Yuqi froze, and the three of them didn't speak. The silence in the Xu Mansion was as cold as death, but Xu Yuqi still shook his head and forced a smile, "It's okay...the three of us are here, we can...you can start again. "

Xu Yuqi looked at Chen Mu for help, and Chen Mu also nodded, "I will stay." Xu Yuqi and Xu Shuyan, how can he let go?

"Don't talk, the more you talk, the more chaotic you will be." Xu Shuyan signaled Chen Mujing, "Don't you understand when you see me coming out of the apricot tree?"

Xu Yuqi's eyes widened in horror, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, but disappeared immediately.She shook her head desperately, not sure if she was really confused or just wanted to get rid of the thoughts in her head.

But Xu Shuyan didn't allow her to deceive herself with an illusion, she lightly scratched the tip of Xu Yuqi's nose, "Silly girl, don't pretend to be stupid."

"Why, sister, why did you do this?" Xu Yuqi burst into tears. As early as the moment Xu Shuyan appeared, she understood who the unknown person she had always regarded as the enemy was.

"I just want to tell you that what happened in the past has already happened and cannot be changed." As he spoke, Xu Shuyan gently pressed Xu Yuqi's shoulder, and led her to turn around, making Xu Yuqi look at Chen Mu with a solemn expression.

"Yuqi, look at him, is he the one in our hearts?" Xu Shuyan's voice was lonely, and every sound made Chen Mu's heart feel like a knife.

"Brother-in-law..." Xu Yuqi called him that first.However, Chen Mu saw that Xu Yuqi's eyes were full of shaking and pain like heaven, full of entanglements.

In the end, the name "brother-in-law" turned into "Chen Mu".It was only then that Chen Mu noticed that Xu Shuyan had always called him Chen Mu, not "Xianggong".

Xu Yuqi looked at Chen Mu vacillatingly, at a loss, took a step back in panic, and was hugged by Xu Shuyan from behind, "He is not him. He has already gone, just like you, like me, but he didn't stay like us .”

"But I am willing to stay, and I will take care of you." Chen Mu felt flustered for no reason, and told him intuitively that if he let go here, he would never see them again.

"But I don't need it." Xu Shuyan looked serious, looking at Xu Yuqi and Chen Mu seriously.

"Yuqi, you have never owed me anything. My husband loves you, but I am responsible. Everything in the past is fate. Whether it is my father's death or my death, it is just time. You never destroyed other people. People's lives cut off their own way out."

Xu Shuyan was rarely so serious. Xu Yuqi listened quietly, hesitating and confused, "I told my husband to take good care of you, but you didn't do it. Why do you push yourself like this?" , took the road that Xu Shuyan absolutely did not want them to go.

"Sister, I'm sorry." Xu Yuqi hugged Xu Shuyan and cried as if breaking down, longing for the warmth of his relatives, "I only hope that you are here, we are all here..."

Touching Xu Yuqi's hair, Xu Shuyan looked at Chen Mu and smiled slightly, "Go back, you are not him..."

"I'm him..." Chen Mu shook his head, seeing so many memories, after experiencing these, how could he let go of the two of them.Chen Mu was anxious, but he couldn't convey his thoughts to the sisters.

Xu Shuyan shook his head as if seeing through, "You are not, you are Chen Mu, not our childhood sweetheart. You have your life, you have your future, you have been trapped in this small town for two years for us, don't worry about not belonging to us. Your guilt is here to pay for your life."

Xu Yuqi also stopped crying, and stood side by side with Xu Shuyan, holding hands and looking at him.In the eyes of the two, Chen Mu saw the same nostalgia, reluctance, and determination.

Xu Shuyan waved his plain hand, his sleeves flicked, and ripples appeared in the air. Outside the banyan tree, the appearance of Gongsun Ce and the three waiting fell into Chen Mu's eyes.Chen Mu was a little excited, sorry, I have nothing to say.

"They are still waiting for you, your family is still waiting for you." Xu Shuyan walked towards Chen Mu, Chen Mu watched Xu Shuyan, he didn't want to leave, once he left, he would never see them again.

He just took a step back and closed his eyes weakly.Xu Shuyan reached out to support him, stared at Xu Yuqi standing behind Chen Mu, glanced at her trembling right hand, and said softly, "Thank you."

"Let's go." Xu Yuqi also supported Chen Mu and helped Xu Shuyan share part of the burden. Behind the three of them, the smiles of the whole world gathered around the place where the three of them were standing.

Xu Shuyan and Xu Yuqi took a step forward and walked into the apricot tree together.Bring Chen Mu back to reality.

When they heard Chen Mu's unconscious hum, Zhan Zhao and the others looked at Chen Mu who was lying on the grass in surprise.Gongsun Ce could see that the silver thread around Chen Mu's neck had disappeared.He is back.

The three of them looked excitedly at the apricot tree. Under the apricot tree, Xu Yuqi and Xu Shuyan stood there together, without speaking, watching them quietly.Xu Shuyan was wearing plain clothes, while Xu Yuqi was wearing the under skirt. When the three of them looked up, the skirt had disappeared.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also looked back at them.They knew that Xu Shuyan and Xu Yuqi were leaving. "He'll be fine, right?" Xu Yuqi looked at Chen Mu reluctantly.

It won't be good, if you wake up and find that you are gone.Gongsun Ce really wanted to tell them this, but the words turned into a brave smile, "I know this guy, he is heartless and doesn't care about anything. He will definitely be drinking and having fun in the future. What's the matter."

Everyone knows that this is a lie, but the two women smiled so sadly and happily, their voices trembled, "That's... that's fine."

"Are you willing?" Zhan Zhao suddenly asked this question when the two were about to leave.He didn't know why he asked that question, Chen Mu came back, they should feel at ease and be grateful.

But after these emotions passed, Zhan Zhao thought again, would they be willing?In that false world, although it is false, there is Chen Mu and their hope.

Abandoning Chen Mu, leaving Chen Mu, they don't know what to live for.Are they really willing?Although I'm sorry for Chen Mu, but it has nothing to do with his life or death, Zhan Zhao has to think about their feelings.

Xu Shuyan and Xu Yuqi, they got nothing in the end, no matter who they were.

"Are you willing..." Recalling the past, Xu Shuyan's calm voice was full of emotion, "I'm very happy to see Chen Mu. But...we all missed it, it's over... Even if he knows the past, he Not that guy, he deserves a new life."

"This time..." Xu Yuqi, who had been silent all this time, finally withdrew his gaze and said, "I really let go."

He is not that person.So what's the use of forcing him to stay?Both Xu Shuyan and Xu Yuqi closed their eyes, merged with Xingshu, and disappeared before the three of them.

The last voice of the two was dissipated in the wind, the branches swayed rustlingly in the evening wind, and the white apricot petals fluttered down again.

The petals passed by, drifted past, and grazed the eyelashes, and there was a slight itching sensation from the top of the eyelashes, Zhan Zhao blinked a little uncomfortable.

Standing beside Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang suddenly raised his head, fell towards Zhan Zhao's hair, and removed the white petals on Zhan Zhao's head.Zhan Zhao looked up at Bai Yutang.

But Bai Yutang looked away, clenched his fists, crushed the petals in his hands, and the juice dripped down between his fingers.
