his tongue-in-cheek guide

This is not the first time that Lu Lanqiu has faced death. He has seen countless lives die in his career, and he is well aware of the fragility of human life.

But the young Fang Qi didn't know.

He only knew that it was the person who had thrown the enamel pot in his face half an hour ago, and he didn't quite understand why he was lying in front of him like a broken doll in the next second.

Fang Qi's mother was still twitching, but of course this tiny reaction disappeared soon.

Lu Lanqiu was stunned for a moment, and hurried over to check his pupils, but there was no response.

She is dead.

There was a lot of movement just now, and countless people rushed out of the building. Some medical staff came to check the situation, and there were also patients and their families who heard the noise.

In the noisy environment, the boy watched blankly as his mother was carried away by a group of people, and had no time to speak.

Lu Lanqiu looked at the young man, and the moment he opened his mouth to speak, he could clearly feel the distortion of the entire space, collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The towering buildings and towering trees all collapsed quickly, like an avalanche, and what fell were not snowflakes, but Fang Qi's sporadic memory fragments.

"Fang Qi, what's the matter with you?"

The boy didn't answer him, he squatted down on the spot, hugged his knees, and curled himself into a ball silently.

Lu Lanqiu wanted to go there, but the whole world was distorted, he couldn't stand steadily, and couldn't rush to Fang Qi's side, it was the first time he felt so far away from Fang Qi.

What did the conscious body that incarnated as Fang's mother say, does the collapse of this world mean that Fang Qi will be completely lost in the sea of ​​consciousness?

And I will disappear together as a conscious body.

But how could this man just disappear into the sea of ​​consciousness?

"Fang Qi, no matter what, can you answer me?"

The boy didn't respond to him, only the world around him was still collapsing.

Lu Lanqiu sighed, and decided to give it a go.

"How long are you going to be coquettish?!"

Lu Lanqiu roared angrily in the center of the collapsing world.

The young man raised his head in a daze, and finally saw him, a gleam of clarity finally flashed in his empty eyes.

Why, this person has to force others to scold him before he reacts?

Lu Lanqiu looked at Fang Qi from a distance, his eyes were like those of a wolf cub who was discarded by others, how could a man who was so fierce and vicious be so pitiful.

As Fang Qi's eyes fell on him, the whole world finally stopped collapsing, Lu Lanqiu couldn't care about it now, and took this opportunity to rush towards Fang Qi.

When he came to him, the young man had a dreamy expression on his face.

"Lu Lanqiu? What happened to me just now?" Fang Qi looked at him inexplicably.

Lu Lanqiu frowned: "You don't remember?"

Fang Qi looked around, the world that had stopped collapsing quickly returned to its previous state, he looked at Lu Lanqiu, not quite understanding what happened just now.

Unexpectedly, Lu Lanqiu suddenly laughed in a low voice, with a helpless wry smile, and suddenly said:

"So when are you going to wake up?" Lu Lanqiu lifted the other party's collar with sharp eyes.

"What..." Before he finished speaking, Fang Qi felt a pain on his face, and was knocked sideways by Lu Lanqiu's fist.

"Is this game of reminiscing about fleeting years over?" Lu Lanqiu looked down at Fang Qi, "To be honest, I've had enough of your worthless appearance, even if I really want to be trapped in the sea of ​​consciousness for the rest of my life. I have to beat you up today."

Fang Qi looked at Lu Lanqiu stupidly, not quite understanding what the other party was talking about.

"Before, I was concerned about your feelings and didn't scold you, but Fang Qi, let's stop immersing ourselves in the memories of the past, okay?"

"Lu Lanqiu, what are you talking about?" Fang Qi struggled to get up from the ground, but was pushed down by Lu Lanqiu.

"You asked me what happened just now? Your mother committed suicide in front of your eyes, because her long illness made her lose the courage to live, so she left."

Fang Qi was taken aback, and quickly stood up, staring at Lu Lanqiu fiercely, bloodshot eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The surrounding buildings again showed signs of collapse.

Lu Lanqiu sneered: "Nonsense? You know best whether you are talking nonsense, Fang Qi, you really couldn't bear it when you were young, but you are obviously an adult now, don't be that weak boy anymore, Ke Ke, Jiang He, Chen Luo, and me..." Lu Lanqiu paused, and then said again: "We are all waiting for you to go back, so... let's go back together, shall we?"

The boy still didn't speak, his face was hidden in the shadows, as if he couldn't hear any words.

The surrounding buildings are still collapsing, and at this rate, soon the place where he stands will disappear.

Lu Lanqiu saw that the other party remained silent, thinking that maybe this was the final destination of the two of them, and suddenly felt peaceful in his heart.

That Fang Qi who stood firmly in front of him with a smile like the light of the morning sun, that Fang Qi who locked his sketches and diaries in a drawer and turned around with a smirk on his face, did that really just disappear?

But obviously he hasn't told him anything yet, Fang Qi hasn't given him an answer to that sketch.

He raised his head, turned his heart, ignored the ashes that fell when the surrounding buildings collapsed, and slowly smiled at Fang Qi, and said:

"Fang Qi, you have to know that people are actually very fragile. The brain will die within 3 minutes of hypoxia, the breathing will stop for 5 minutes, and the heart will stop for 7 minutes. 3 minutes of delay, but still extremely fragile. But," Lu Lanqiu slowly grabbed Fang Qi, and smiled softly: "It is because of fragility that I want to be with the person I like in this short time. Together. So Fang Qi, if this is the way you choose to end, I will accompany you."

Lu Lanqiu squatted down, and slowly and solemnly hugged Fang Qi in his arms. He rested his head on the boy's shoulders that vaguely had the lines of an adult man, feeling extremely peaceful in his heart:

"In a world without you, it would be too boring to stay."

He finally understood where his huge insecurity came from before. In this strange and completely different memory world, only Fang Qi was the only person he could communicate with. He is holding him now, as if he is passing through this consciousness. Body, to hug the sleeping, adult Fang Qi.

After a long time, a laughing voice suddenly came from his arms:

"Mr. Lu, if you say that, I will be very embarrassed."

When the person in his arms laughed, Lu Lanqiu froze for an instant, and he let Fang Qi go slowly.

At this moment, the boy in his arms is no longer the childish young man, but in the blink of an eye, the young man has faded away, and the years have left traces on his face, leaving only the cynical smile that sees through the world. , but there is deep affection in his eyes as wide as the sea.

Unexpectedly, Lu Lanqiu, who was the person involved, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, he pushed the person away, turned around and wanted to run.

The smile on Fang Qi's face disappeared immediately, and he rushed up to grab someone who was running away.

"Let go." Lu Lanqiu struggled for a long time without looking back, but Fang Qi's hand was too strong and he couldn't break free at all.

"Don't let it go."

Lu Lanqiu was very annoyed: "I let you let go."

Fang Qi remained motionless, and the two were in a stalemate. Lu Lanqiu kept his head down and never looked back at Fang Qi. He looked like an irritated wild cat ready to fight at any time.

"Why did you run?" Fang Qi stared at Lu Lanqiu, afraid that this person would accidentally run away again.

"When did you wake up?" Lu Lanqiu asked without answering.

"Probably when you said that you would stay here with me, it seemed that a light came in suddenly, and the surroundings were lit up." Fang Qi's voice was the long-lost, low and smiling voice.

"..." Lu Lanqiu did not speak.

Fang Qi finally seemed to see some clues from Lu Lanqiu's silence and the red ear tips hidden in his hair: "Mr. Lu, could you be..."

"Don't say it!" Lu Lanqiu stood upside down like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"...Are you shy?" Fang Qi finished speaking calmly.

Lu Lanqiu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and turned her head to give Fang Qi a hard look.

A pair of piercing phoenix eyes mixed with embarrassment, with a three-point natural style.

Who can bear this.

Fang Qi took the opportunity to stretch out his hand and pulled Lu Lanqiu back. Lu Lanqiu couldn't dodge in time, and slammed into Fang Qi's arms.

Lu Lanqiu struggled hard for a long time, but Mr. Lu's thin arms and legs, how could he get away from Fang Qi, who was in the sea of ​​his own consciousness, could only be hugged tighter and tighter by someone, and the two were so close that they could hear each other heartbeat.

The slow and solid heartbeat of the sentinel was like the ocean beating slowly against the shore, and the generous and steady voice instantly calmed him down.

Fang Qi put his head on Lu Lanqiu's shoulder, and his whole body hung on Lu Lanqiu's body like a large plush toy, and said with a smile next to Lu Lanqiu's ear:

"Although I'm very touched, we don't want to stay here together. I think the real world is actually better." Fang Qi whispered in Lu Lanqiu's ear, "Even if you can always see you when you were a teenager here, you are as tender as you are. Teacher Xiao Lu of a poplar tree."

It was Lu Lanqiu who responded to him with a silent pinch, and Fang Qi grinned in pain.

"Hey, Mr. Lu, I didn't move my hands when I became angry. Although we are both conscious bodies now, the pain is based on the mutual cognition of both parties. It should hurt or it will hurt!" Fang Qi opened his mouth without seriousness.

Only then did Lu Lanqiu slowly raise his head, Fang Qi noticed that Lu Lanqiu's face had slowly changed from the flushed state back to the usual plain white.

He looked at Fang Qi, and said to Fang Qi very seriously:

"Welcome back, Fang Qi."

Fang Qi put away the cynicism on his face, and replied seriously to Lu Lanqiu:

"Ah, I'm back."
