16 years

Liu Ruosong was woken up by the small voices around him.

After the end of the world, he became very light sleeper, and a little movement was enough to wake him up from sleep. Liu Ruosong vaguely opened his eyes in the middle of the night, and it took two seconds to identify the source of the sound before he realized that the source of the sound was in the his pillow.

The breathing around him was not as long and steady as usual, but intermittent, short and chaotic, as if he was holding back something.Liu Ruosong subconsciously stretched out her hand to explore, only to find that Fu Yan's body was also very tense.

It was late at night, and it was quiet outside, and the lights in the room were not turned on, only the breathing of two people intertwined.Fu Yan seemed to realize that Liu Ruosong was awake, so he forced his eyes open and smiled at him.

"Woke you up?" Fu Yan said.

His voice was a little weak, Liu Ruosong became nervous when he heard it, he quickly got up and turned on the bedside lamp, and turned to check his situation.

Fu Yan has obviously been suffering for a while, his eyes are a little slack, his lips are pale, and his breathing is intermittent.Liu Ruosong reached out to touch him, and felt cold sweat on his body.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ruosong asked quickly, "Neuralgia again?"

Fu Yan shook his head.

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "The leg... hurts a bit."

He had been in pain for a while, but he kept silent for fear of waking Liu Ruosong up. He thought about enduring it and passed it, but he didn't expect that the more he endured it, the worse it would become.

Fu Yan has always been able to bear it, and if he can say "a little", it is obvious that the pain is already severe.Liu Ruosong didn't dare to take it lightly, quickly got into the quilt, pressed lightly on his legs, and asked, "Where does it hurt?"

When he touched the knee of his left leg, Fu Yan took a short breath, tightened his eyebrows, and nodded to him almost invisible.

"Here?" Liu Ruosong lightly touched his knee with his fingertips, but found no wound, and frowned wonderingly.

He got out of the quilt, leaving only one arm and gently rubbed Fu Yan's leg, and whispered, "Did you sprain it when you went for a walk with the dog today?"

Fu Yan is diligent when he is working, and he sleeps thoroughly when he is on vacation. These days, he has not gone to work. He grows vegetables and cooks at home every day, and walks the dog twice a day, each time for two hours .

He and Chestnut have recently developed a new hobby, like running to the wild mountains not far away to hunt rabbits, and returning to the starting point for two hours, Liu Ruosong looked tired for him.

That mountain has not been developed, there is only a wild road, and now it is summer again, there are vegetation and rocks everywhere, it is very difficult to walk.

Hearing this, Fu Yan recalled it carefully, but couldn't remember anything wrong today, so he shook his head.

Liu Ruosong pulled out his hand to help Fu Yan compact the quilt, turned his head and wanted to get out of bed, but Fu Yan grabbed him.

"What are you going to do?" Fu Yan asked.

"I'll boil some water and give you a warm compress." Liu Ruosong said, "Maybe it's twisted, but you didn't notice it yourself."

"Forget it." Fu Yan said: "It's the middle of the night, don't worry about it, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Don't worry about it." Liu Ruosong gently pushed his hand away, lowered his head and kissed his forehead, and said in a low voice, "I'll be back soon."

As Liu Ruosong said, he put on his coat and slippers and went out.He spent some time boiling a pot of hot water, then ironed two hot towels, and returned to the bedroom with the basin.

Chestnut was also startled by the movement, wagging his tail, followed Liu Ruosong into the room, and slammed his head on Fu Yan's hand that was hanging down on the edge of the bed.

Liu Ruosong was afraid that it was not light or heavy, so he turned its little head to the side, sat on the edge of the bed by himself, put a towel under the quilt, and gave Fu Yan a hot compress.

"It hurts a lot?" Liu Ruosong asked.

"It's okay." Fu Yan said.

When he first woke up from the pain in his sleep, he still felt it was just a dull pain, as if separated by a layer of frosted glass, which was vague and not clear.But now the pain gradually became clear and spread like needle pricks. Fu Yan only tried to move his leg slightly, and his whole body broke out in a cold sweat.

Liu Ruosong gave him a hot compress for a while, but seeing that the situation still didn't ease, he simply threw the towel into the hot water basin and reached out to help him.

"Let's go." Liu Ruosong said, "Go to the medical department."

"No more—"

The medical department was very busy, and Fu Yan thought he had nothing serious to do, so he didn't want to bother them.But Liu Ruosong kept his promise, and helped him up from the bed while speaking, put on his coat without saying a word, and sent a message to notify the guards to pick him up.

The medical department is on duty 24 hours a day, and the lights are still brightly lit late at night.Fu Yan had already been promoted to the rank of "chief" after the award ceremony, and everyone in the medical department was on the verge of an enemy, so they forced him to temporarily vacate a single room for him.

It took almost half an hour to come here from the small courtyard, but Fu Yan's condition still didn't improve at all. The doctor pushed him to take a film, and when he came back, his expression was "stern".

"Chief." The young doctor held the film in his hand and said with a bitter face, "You can bear it too much. If you are injured and can't come to the hospital, you can carry it at home by yourself?"

Fu Yan was at a loss, and before he could react, Liu Ruosong had already walked over and took the examination report from the doctor's hand.

Strangely, Fu Yan's leg was not sprained, but fractured. Judging from the film, his kneecap had suffered severe trauma, but it was already in the healing period, and the seam was a little crooked.

Liu Ruosong frowned, puzzled - Fu Yan had been at home recently, hadn't gone out to work, and hadn't taken any dangerous actions, so logically speaking, he wouldn't have suffered such an injury.And even if something happened, the two of them slept in the same bed every day, and there was no reason why he couldn't find out.

Liu Ruosong's mind was in a mess, and he subconsciously handed the report to Fu Yan. Fu Yanyan took it, and the cuff slipped a little from his wrist, revealing a burn scar on his right wrist.

Liu Ruosong's gaze unconsciously swept over the scar, his face suddenly changed, and a bold guess suddenly appeared in his mind.

Fu Yan obviously wanted to go with him. He looked at the report and didn't say anything. He just waved his hand and signaled the doctor to go out.

The doctor looked at their expressions left and right, and guessed that they had something to say, so he exited the ward intimately and closed the door behind him.

"elder brother--"

"I haven't been injured recently." Fu Yan also saw the extra scar on his wrist. He stared at his wrist with his arms crossed for a while, and suddenly said, "This is the second restart. The wound left by the central island."

That time they ran into Joe Eden's ambush and received a suicide bombing attack, Fu Yan was licked by the flames, leaving this scar.

Liu Ruosong glanced at Fu Yan's left leg, and the fragment buried deep in his memory became clear again. He held his breath subconsciously, and reached out to touch his knee.

Liu Ruosong didn't know why these injuries that had disappeared reappeared on Fu Yan's body, but he still remembered that when he died for the first time, Fu Yan dragged his broken leg around the Twin Towers for so long before giving it to others. Grab the evacuation time.

The picture in the action recorder came back to life, and Liu Ruosong seemed to see his blood-soaked trousers for a moment, and his face turned pale instantly.

Fu Yan quickly covered his eyes with his hands, and pulled him into his arms.

"It's all over." Fu Yan said, "It's not very painful."

Liu Ruosong held Fu Yan's wrist, but did not pull his hand away. His lips trembled, as if he was afraid of disturbing something, and whispered, "Brother, why did they...appear suddenly?"

"I don't know either." Fu Yan said, "But I seem to have a feeling..."

"What?" Liu Ruosong asked.

"It seems that everything is over." Fu Yan said: "The floating feeling has disappeared."

At that moment just now, Fu Yan suddenly felt a sense of relief for no reason, as if something had been pulled out from his blood. Time will restart again" illusory feeling.

But there are several more scars on his body-the table on the wrist, the scratch on the back shoulder, and the mark of bloodletting on the elbow.

These scars from different timelines appeared in his body at the same time, as if the time that had been folded was finally gathered into a line on his body, so the future is no longer a floating uncertain factor, but a straight and long road.

Fate favored him and gave him a new life, but also gave him the mark of time.

"The other..."

"No." Fu Yan knew what he was going to ask, and answered first: "There is no fatal injury, and I am not uncomfortable. It seems that only trauma appeared, and nothing else."

Fu Yan paused as he spoke, and added: "And I don't think this kind of change will happen again in the future."

Liu Ruosong was just shocked at that moment. Now that he calmed down and recalled the inspection report just now, he remembered that apart from the leg injury, Fu Yan's other inspection data were indeed in good health.

Liu Ruosong breathed a sigh of relief, letting himself lean into Fu Yan's arms.

Fu Yan didn't know why everything disappeared so easily, he put his arms around Liu Ruosong and patted Liu Ruosong on the back. After a long time, he inadvertently remembered something.

"What day is it today?" Fu Yan said.

"June [-]st." Liu Ruosong paused, as if he also remembered something: "It's... the day when the first end of the world began."

These memories are too old, and the pain that was once fresh will become faded and blurred after a long time.

Fu Yan wanted to reminisce about the past, but he couldn't remember the exact days, so he narrowed his eyes slightly, hesitated for a while, and said, "Ten... ten years?"

"16 years." Liu Ruosong said, "Sixteen years."

Liu Ruosong remembered more clearly than Fu Yan, in those past days and nights, he had counted the days countless times.

In those long nights of despair and pain, Liu Ruosong once thought that this number would add up endlessly, but now it seems that this number has quietly stopped in this ordinary summer night.

Looking back, those days seem to be only a short moment, but they seem to be a long life.
