I received a bounce from a non-existent player

For a long time, I was floating in a sea of ​​silence, occasionally being beaten awake by the waves, and then immediately swept back into the water again.

Being sober is not necessarily a good thing.Every time I wake up, I will think of Jiang Heng's last look at me, and the pain like being caught in my heart will immediately rush to hit me, and then spread to my waist.Fortunately, there was ice-cold water to shoot me back into the chaos.

When the consciousness is blurred, the pain is not so obvious, and I will not think about what just happened, so I can pretend that nothing happened.

There is no chess board.Jiang Heng was still waiting for me outside.

I closed my sore eyes, and felt my heartbeat gradually weaken.

That's fine.I was thinking vaguely as I listened to my own breathing that was as ethereal as my heartbeat.

Be quiet so I can sleep.

The funny thing is that when I was unconscious, the fragments of memory that I couldn't find in my brain no matter how hard I usually searched, suddenly emerged.

Visions flashed before my eyes.Smaller and smaller spots of light overhead.Glittering through the water.Far too dark to see.The same faint heartbeat.

But now it seems that these are not very important.

At this moment, a gentle force suddenly grabbed my wrist.

[It's not too late, don't fall asleep. 】

My heart beat violently, hitting my chest with pain, and the water trembled slightly with the heartbeat, and the sudden loud heartbeat was particularly abrupt in the dead silence.

【You promised me to go to the sea together. 】

Twice.

Three times.

His heartbeat made his chest tremble, and even the water around his body became slightly hot.

【You have to do it. 】

I took a deep breath and opened my eyes abruptly.

"woke up?"

----------------------

I took a few breaths on the verge of suffocation, until my lungs convulsed in pain, and then I coughed violently, almost bowed up.The person who spoke just now held my arm and comforted me softly.

His voice reassured me inexplicably, and I relaxed after listening to it, my breathing became more stable, the burning feeling in my throat gradually disappeared, and the scene in front of me gradually became clearer.

"How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?" He asked in a soft voice, lowered his hand behind my back, as if he wanted me to lie down, and tucked the quilt for me with the other hand.

"No……"

I was only halfway through the answer, and suddenly felt wrong.

This voice... this voice? !

My heartstrings tensed, I grabbed the man's hand on the corner of the quilt, and turned my head to look.

I stared blankly at him for a long time, and he smiled and let me watch.In the end, I didn't know what I was thinking, I just murmured, "Am I dead?"

Jiang Heng was stunned for a moment, apparently he didn't expect that the first sentence I saw him would be this, and then he couldn't help laughing: "It seems not." Seeing that I seemed to really start to think about his word "seems", he sighed He took a deep breath, "What are you thinking? With me here, you don't need to worry about this."

My eyelids trembled, and I wanted to throw myself into his arms, but his words vividly aroused the memory that I didn't want to face.

—With him here, I don't need to worry about death.

yes.When did he fool me on this one.In that scene, the broken sword passed through his body, and the silver blade sucked the blood insatiably, and the blood bloomed on the ground without knowing how to dry it up.

And I just sat on the ground and watched him, unable to do anything.

He was always the one who fell apart.I have always been the one watching his back indifferently from behind.

The lights in the room were not turned on, and the only obscure source of light was the thousands of night lights in the bustling area outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, which flickered alternately, as if they would never go out.

Jiang Heng was sitting beside my bed, the fireworks-like lights behind him made him unreal.A dark shirt is obviously so different from the background, but it always makes me feel that he will always blend into this dull color.

He seemed to feel that I was shaking his hand so hard, he sighed and said, "I'm not going anywhere, you don't have to hold it so tightly."

"If I don't hold you like this, who knows what you will do again."

"not late……"

"Do you think you can save me like that? Do you think—" I raised my head and looked at him with teary eyes, "Do you think that as long as I live, you will save me?"

He froze for a moment, his dark eyes flickering.

When I said this, my heart hurt more than I imagined, and watching his eyes turn pale, my waist also slowly ached.

I finally couldn't hold back, choked up and said, "Do you know that I just..."

Before I finished speaking, my words were blocked by his chest.Without saying a word, he hugged me tightly with both hands.

I gritted my teeth and cried on his shoulder: "Please, I will go crazy if you disappear..."

He didn't answer me, just took a trembling breath, and pressed me into his arms hard.
