The strategy was almost successful!

After being tied up, Liao Ruming felt that his life became even more boring.

That invisible ribbon actually has no entity, which means that Liao Ruming can still move freely.

But that seemed to bind his soul.

For the first time, Liao Ruming realized so seriously that being so close and accompanying someone is a very strict bondage for each other.

He had never realized it so seriously.

For example, if he goes to take a shower, he will realize that there is a person waiting for him in the opposite direction of the direction he is going.

For example, he is lying in the game cabin playing games, and he still can't indulge in them.The distinct sense of restraint on his wrist told him that someone seemed to be waiting for him.

For example, when he closed his eyes and was going to sleep, he could feel the shallow breathing at the other end of the ribbon—the man's huge presence.

... For the first time, he realized that intimacy is not as simple as he imagined.

That means that there will be traces and existence of the other party in each other's life space, and they are so stubborn and unyielding. It is impossible that he does not want the other party to appear, and the other party can really disappear like this.

It's not that he wants to leave, he can really pull away so simply.

It's never been easier.

When they're in a relationship, when they want to have this intimacy -- when they're in love, this invisible ribbon is tied around their wrist.

As their bond grows stronger and deeper, so does the ribbon.

But Liao Ruming never realized this.

In the past three worlds, he always planned to leave when he was willful, thinking that this ribbon never existed—or, when he wanted it to disappear, it could disappear?

But things are never like this.

It was he who provoked Cyril, and he was going to forget about Cyril casually.

It was he who tied the ribbon around Cyril's wrist, and it was also he who used the scissors casually, cutting the ribbon whenever he wanted to.

And when his heart softened, when he felt relieved, he easily tied the ribbon back.

... But the traces that have been cut off really no longer exist?

Liao Ruming stared at the invisible ribbon for a longer and longer period of time.He asked Cyril to hold out his hand, and he held out his hand, and then they put their hands together.Then he just stared at it silently, thoughtful.

His performance made Cyril a little worried.

Obviously it was Cyril who restrained him, but in the end it was still Cyril who felt worried and anxious for Liao Ruming.

He asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"I just feel..." Liao Ruming subconsciously said, "I just feel..."

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Can you show this thing?"

When Cyril tied him, the ribbon was always invisible, as if it didn't exist.It was the same in the past, as if the ribbon didn't exist at all, and then Liao Ruming just ignored it for granted.

...but of course this thing exists!

It was Liao Ruming who proposed to let Cyril connect their hands together, the original intention was to reassure Cyril, but Cyril seemed to have nothing to say, but Liao Ruming himself realized a lot of things because of this proposal.

He urged Cyril.

Cyril didn't know why, so he looked down at the gap between their wrists.

Then, a silver-white ribbon exuding faint fluorescence like a galaxy appeared.

Liao Ruming looked at it in surprise, then reached out and touched it.Before, it was just a piece of air, but now Liao Ruming found that it really has some tactile sensations.

It seems to be a kind of silk-like, cold and smooth feeling.

Cyril hesitated again and again, but still asked: "Did you think of something?"

"I think I was wrong." Liao Ruming said, "Although I always say that I don't regard this world as a game anymore, I still regard the Shiti universe as the real...my reality."

Cyril was startled.

Liao Ruming sighed and said: "Actually, my life with you... the three worlds we have been to in the past, that is what really fills my life, isn't it?

"You said that Hiram is the reflection of the real world. These pictures and these pasts have actually happened in the Shitai universe. But I always feel that they are just illusory shadows.

"...too much to say. I'm just reflecting on my attitude."

Cyril was flattered: "I didn't ask you to reflect..."

"I want to reflect on myself." Liao Ruming muttered, and then he said seriously, "I feel sorry."

Cyril stared at him blankly.

Liao Ruming stroked the ribbon with his fingers, and then he showed an extremely complicated expression: "You know, I've been looking for...something.

"If my parents hadn't abandoned me, if my childhood hadn't been in an orphanage, if those children in the orphanage were willing to be friends with me, if I could restrain my temper...

"I hate to admit it. But I do imagine what I could have if that was the case."

As he spoke, he suddenly showed a pretentious fierce expression: "I can only tell you these things, you can't tell others, and you can't let others know."

Cyril was brewing emotions, and he couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words.He said, "I understand."

Liao Ruming was satisfied now.

Then he gazed at the man who loved him, and he loved him.

"I have found it, but I thought I hadn't found it," he said.

His fingers were still stroking the ribbon as bright as the Milky Way.

Cyril was slightly taken aback.

Liao Ruming lowered his eyes and revealed a slightly pale smile: "So I am indeed a..."

"you are not."

Cyril suddenly interrupted him.

Liao Ruming raised his eyes and looked at him.

Cyril said: "I don't know... why you suddenly thought of this. But... I know that the physical universe is your world. You were born there, grew up, and eventually became what you are now.

"And Hiram is just the shadow of the body universe.

"...I know what you think. I understand. I...I don't want...I don't want you to wrong yourself because of me. "

Liao Ruming looked at him, and after a while, he suddenly shrugged and showed a relaxed smile: "Then what should I do? But I think so too. I don't want you to wrong yourself because of me."

Cyril lowered his eyes in embarrassment.

Liao Ruming thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and scolded him: "You idiot."

Cyril looked at him in surprise.

"I'll give you a chance to imprison me for a lifetime, but you can't grasp it yourself. You are such a fool!" Liao Ruming scolded, "You deserve to be played with by me, don't you?"

"You didn't...you didn't play with my feelings."

Liao Ruming clicked his tongue: "Still explaining to me, a scumbag."

Cyrillic:"……"

He was at a loss, not knowing why.

But he didn't like Liao Ruming calling him a scumbag.

So he said seriously: "I love you, so I am willing to do everything for you. This is my concept."

Liao Ruming said angrily: "Then what do you do when you meet scum?"

Cyril watched him, but slowly smiled.He said: "But I haven't met. The person I love is a very good person."

Liao Ruming resented.

He looked at him and said, "You know how to flatter me with nice words."

"I'm telling the truth." Cyril said with a smile, "I'm not lying."

Liao Ruming rolled his eyes.

"But I'm still very much myself," he said.

Cyril whispered: "I know."

"What if I still want to contact Academia Sinica?" Liao Ruming asked, "Are you going crazy again?"

Cyril explained very weakly: "I didn't..."

Liao Ruming just chuckled: "Then why did you suddenly ask me to go bubble?"

Cyril was silent for a moment, and then said: "I'm just afraid...I can't control myself, and then scare you, and even hurt you." He sighed, and hugged Liao Ruming sideways, "...do you understand?"

"Of course I know." Liao Ruming said naturally, "That's why I asked you to tie me up."

...It was obviously Cyril who tied up Liao Ruming's wrists, but he acted as if Liao Ruming had more power.

Actually it is.

There is a huge gap in their status and status, but when it comes to feelings, their status is completely reversed.

Liao Ruming's attitude was so... so confident that Cyril was helpless.

Liao Ruming arched Cyril with his elbow, and then said, "Tell me, what will you do if I still want to contact them?"

Cyril has lost his temper, he said: "...you can contact me."

Liao Ruming looked at him in surprise.

Cyril smiled wryly: "I didn't... I couldn't stop you. How could I be willing to..."

Liao Ruming looked at him for a moment, then kissed him, raised his wrist, and said, "You have tied me up."

"You can break free." Cyril stared at him blankly, "The choice is always in your hands."

Liao Ruming shook his head, sighed, and then he said in a very relaxed and leisurely tone: "I just think, or say, I found something very interesting.

"Even if I am willing to stay in the palace, be bound by you, or play games and draw cards in the palace, none of these seem to be able to convince you.

"You still think that I will leave, you still think that if you give me a choice, I will leave this boring palace immediately... You always think so.

"You gave me a chance to leave, but even if I choose to stay, you will still feel that this is just me lying to you, and I am not sincere.

"So, when I said I wanted to contact the Academia Sinica, you probably thought I wanted to send a signal for help.

"And our proposal to let you tie me up seems to be my soft policy for you. The ultimate goal is to escape from Hiram... Is that what you think?"

Cyril was silent for a moment, then nodded embarrassingly.

He really thought so.

He couldn't... couldn't believe Liao Ruming's words.He always felt that no matter what Liao Ruming said or did, he would eventually leave.He couldn't believe what Liao Ruming said.

So, Liao Ruming said: "Then I can't help it. Since this is the case, I might as well do what I want to do, and then...you come and follow me."

Cyril was startled.

Liao Ruming held Cyril's right wrist and said seriously: "This ribbon is like our wedding ring, do you understand? It will always exist, I will not take it off, and you can also tie it on your wrist forever .”

Cyril trembled slightly, and he whispered, "I understand."

Liao Ruming looked at him for a while, and then said dissatisfiedly: "I'm serious! You should also be more serious!"

Cyril opened his mouth, thinking helplessly, how can he appear more serious?

He thought for a moment, then said, "How about I invite Hiram to witness our oath?"

"Hyram, please?" Liao Ruming tilted his head in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Cyril didn't answer his question immediately, and then Liao Ruming suddenly realized that something was not right around him.

...the light seems to be getting brighter.

He subconsciously raised his head to look beyond the water membrane around the palace, and then he found that those bubbles were rapidly approaching.But those bubbles didn't grow bigger, they just hung on the periphery of the palace like small light bulbs one after another.

There were more and more small light bulbs, and then the bright white light converged into a soft and not dazzling light, illuminating the surroundings of Liao Ruming and Cyril.

It wasn't until this moment that Liao Ruming fully understood where the unknown light in the palace came from.

Now, the stars from the long river of time witness their vows and promises.

Liao Ruming said dissatisfied: "I will not admit that this is a wedding. It's just the two of us, and there is no audience to join in the fun."

Cyril's eyes were full of smiles, and he said: "Those bubbles are full of audiences from the past."

Liao Ruming: "..."

He said frantically, "You did it on purpose!"

When Liao Ruming was doing certain things, he asked Bubbles to stay away. How could he admit that this was an audience.

He straightened his face immediately and said, "Be serious!"

Cyril was helpless, so he slowly put away the smile on his face, and stared at Liao Ruming quietly.

Liao Ruming thought for a moment and said, "I love you."

"……I love you too."

"I really want to say that I will be with you forever, but I think you probably won't believe it." Liao Ruming said, "It's all my fault."

They all laughed.

Inexplicably, it seems that those things in the past don't count.

Liao Ruming took the opportunity to say: "Let's write off the past."

Cyril was helpless.He thought it was just Liao Ruming talking to himself after all.

But he agreed: "It's a write-off."

Liao Ruming nodded in satisfaction.

He thought for a long time, and finally said: "A long time ago, you once sang a song to me."

Cyril was stunned for a moment, and said, "You mean... Ji Zhihuai's time?"

"Yes." Liao Ruming said, "The song you sang to me to lull me to sleep."

Cyril said: "That's a lot..."

"I don't care." Liao Ruming was very shameless, "I like one of them the most."

Cyril said: "If I could sing it all over again, you..."

"I will love you forever." Liao Ruming smiled slyly, "This is what you want forever, isn't it?"

"... If I can't remember, don't you love me?"

Liao Ruming said dissatisfiedly: "Don't make trouble for no reason. Think quickly."

Cyril sighed and could only mess around with Liao Ruming.

He thought for a moment, then looked around at the bubbles—the stars.

Then he remembered.

"The stars love you too...

"From such a long distance...

"And I love you too."

He hummed softly, but said the last line with a smile.

But Liao Ruming looked at him and thought, sure enough - this guy took the opportunity to confess to him back then!

Therefore, Liao Ruming couldn't help laughing.

He said, "Congratulations...I love you too."

He added a time: "Forever."

Cyril's always calm and cold face also stretched out. At this moment, his whole body looked soft and tender, and he said, "I am also...forever."

The bubbles flew past their palace like meteors, illuminating the darkness.

Liao Ruming leaned over and kissed Cyril.
