[Infinite Stream] Destiny Rubik's Cube

It was a hot afternoon, on the deck, the new wood baked by the sun pushed the air upwards, and the gray smoke that was brought up floated up along the hull of this huge cruise ship, diffused, and finally annihilated in the blue and distant sea level.

The old man looked to be in his 90s or [-]s. He was not tall, and he was wearing a gray suit that looked like industrial waste gas. The suit was empty, and there seemed to be no entity underneath that could support the expensive fabric.A pair of cloudy and whitish eyeballs were deeply sunken in the eye sockets, covered by layers of black lines, and it was hard to see what emotions were inside.

When people see him, they usually think of haggard, dry, decayed, and a series of not-so-beautiful words.

Although it looked like he was about to enter the coffin, everyone inexplicably felt that the old man seemed to be healthy, or in other words, had some kind of sick health.

If you insist on describing it, it is probably a living and healthy corpse.

The old man walked back and forth on the deck stiffly, his steps were very steady, it can be said that he walked like flying.As he approached, a strong smell of disinfectant emanated from him. Some sensitive people, such as Ren Simiao, might recognize this as the special smell permeated in college anatomy classes.

He was a priest and was said to be highly respected.

Now he is invited to a beautiful island far away from the mainland to preside over the wedding ceremony for the couple.Accompanying them are many guests who have filled the entire luxury cruise ship.

Judging from the packed deck with almost nowhere to stay, it must have been a huge wedding.

The pastor smiled with satisfaction.

That doesn't really look like a facial expression that a human can pull off.Things like countless ropes were scurrying around under his skin, which was extremely weird.

"No, I feel nauseous just looking at this old man." Jiang Yu leaned on the railing, stretched his neck to inhale the salty sea breeze, in order to suppress the gradual desire to vomit.

"This is the officially designated NPC, you don't have to pick it." Zhou Qi, like most people on the deck, stared at the priest intently, not wanting to miss any beneficial hints, and at the same time reminded without squinting, "While there is still time , you hurry up and teach Ren Simiao the essential skill of swimming."

Ocean, cruise ship, pointing to blurry island.

The three elements that constitute a shipwreck have all been activated.

The first to drown were the ones who couldn't swim.

Landlubber Ren Simiao said that it must be too late to learn now, and it would be more realistic to find a swimming ring or a life jacket.

It is always good to plan ahead, so Jiang Yu turned to look for it.Before leaving, he glanced at Xu Chi who was quietly standing next to Zhou Qi, and then at Leng Qiu who was almost inseparable from Xu Chi. He moved his lips and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

Xu Chi's sensitivity had reached the point of outrageous, he instantly noticed Jiang Yu's concealed expression, and turned his face to cast a questioning look.

Jiang Yu quickly smiled embarrassingly, turned around and slipped away.

Zhou Qi secretly squeezed Xu Chi's hand hanging by his side, and found that the finger bones were slightly cold.Xu Chi gripped back naturally, caressing Zhou Qi's round nails.From time to time, the two of them would have some gentle and simple small interactions, put their shoulders together, or touch their toes. Sometimes Xu Chi took the initiative, and sometimes Zhou Qi took the initiative. After receiving short-term spiritual comfort, they retreated tacitly at the same time.

The meaning behind these little gestures is that they were originally one, but they were separated temporarily. Because they were afraid of being unfamiliar, they had to touch each other frequently to maintain and strengthen their connection.

They are like any ordinary couple in the world, falling in love like no one else.

Jiang Yu turned around, but couldn't find any swimming rings or life jackets. On a sailing ship, the absence of these essential items is obviously a bit unusual.

He dared to follow the NPC's words.

The pastor's answer was: "Young man, you don't need these things at all."

"Master, we are at sea." Ren Simiao didn't dare to get too close to this weird old man, but kept away, and shouted loudly, "There is a risk of drowning at sea."

"Don't worry, you won't drown." The pastor replied with a smile, his face was like a mask covering a ball of plasticine, "We will reach our destination safely."

If the NPC says that you can't drown, there's a high probability that you can't drown.

People actually kind of believed his nonsense.

"He may mean that there are thousands of ways to die, and we won't die so uninspired." After dinner, Zhou Qi returned to the cabin, took off his coat, hung it on the hanger, and rolled up the cuffs of his shirt.

The cruise ship has a total of six floors. Except for the different heights, the cabins on each floor are not divided into grades. They are equipped with two single beds, private bathrooms, and hot water.

For passers, this is undoubtedly the most favorable and most humane level.

Xu Chi lay upright on the bed, clasped his hands on his stomach, as if I was going to bed before the sun went down.

"Can you still sleep?" Zhou Qi cast admiring eyes.

"What should come will always come, so don't be nervous." Xu Chi closed his eyes and waved his hands, "Didn't you say you need to recharge your energy? I'm keeping it."

Zhou Qi chuckled happily: "No, I mean you have been asleep for such a long time, why can't you wake up?"

"I've been sleeping for 20 years, it's not a big deal." Xu Chi continued to feel sleepy.

I just felt that my eyelids were a little heavy, and the mattress beside me sank in with a sound, and Zhou Qi also lay down.

I also squeezed a single bed with him.

"Don't you have a bed?" Xu Chi moved aside without opening his eyes.

Zhou Qi rubbed his chin against the top of his head, coquettishly: "This place next to you is my bed. I can't sleep anywhere else."

A pitifully small bed, which had to carry two such long men, suddenly made a grievous creaking sound.

Xu Chi felt crowded, but he didn't say anything. He indulged Zhou Qi with almost no bottom line.

He turned over and turned to face the wall in order to make more room for the strong man. Zhou Qi immediately stuck up and hugged him from behind as always, with his hot arms across his sunken waist.

The gray-blue wall clock on the wall made a quiet ticking sound, but time stagnated in the small closed cabin.

Xu Chi quietly opened his eyes, staring at the nothingness in front of him.

After a while, he let out a barely audible sigh.

The regular breathing by the ears paused for a while, and then, the arm resting on the pillow under the neck was bent, Zhou Qi propped up his upper body, and the big hands around his waist moved up at the same time, pinching his chin and forcing him to look up.

Xu Chi fell into the light brown eyes of the other party and opened his mouth obediently.

Zhou Qi smiled, sexy and charming.

The two naturally kissed.

They have kissed many, many times, and their lips seemed to be born for each other, every lip line and every curve fit perfectly.Only when lips and teeth are close together, does he, or he, feel that loneliness is not so unbearable, and that there is a sliver of merit in this fucking world.

After staying in the gentle village for a long time, I no longer have the courage to leave.

After all, people worship love because of addiction.

From this perspective, love is no different from any addictive substance such as marijuana opium. The only effect is to make people temporarily forget the pain in reality and then usher in a more painful reality.

The blood rushes like a waterfall in the ear.

Xu Chi touched Zhou Qi's lips with his slightly cool index finger.

"Don't worry." Zhou Qi's mouth opened and closed against the pressure on his lips, "We'll all be fine."

"Hmm." Xu Chi lowered his eyes and hummed softly.

Except for Zhou Qi, I am afraid that no one will notice the little uneasiness in Admiral Xu's heart.As a level passer standing at the top of the food chain, Xu Chi will always have an air of indifference and self-effacing. Anyone may be so worried that he can't sleep or eat, but Xu Chi will not.

But Zhou Qi knew that Xu Chi was indeed a little uneasy, because he was uneasy and didn't want his uneasy emotions to affect others, so he chose to sleep.

Psychology tells us that sleep can solve 80.00% of emotional problems, and the remaining 20.00% cannot be solved, and we need to seek help from professional doctors.

"Jiang Yu seems to have something to say to me." Xu Chi said suddenly.

"Did you just find out?" Zhou Qi took down the index finger that occasionally stuck into his mouth, and held it in his palm, "Not only him, but Ren Simiao's cold girl, including the one surnamed Ke, looked at us expectantly, wanting to speak. stop."

Xu Chi narrowed his eyes dully: "Really?"

"Well, they're waiting."

"Wait for what?"

"Wait until we formally announce our relationship with them."

Xu Chi's confusion was real: "Do I need to tell them?"

"They are our friends, and theoretically they can barely fall within the scope of the right to know." Zhou Qi replied quickly, without any hesitation,

"Friend?" Xu Chi chewed on these two words.

"Well, friend." Zhou Qi confirmed.

Xu Chi thought of something, and curled up his wet and red lips.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing. Someone said before, to be my friend and my brother."

"Oh." Zhou Qi coughed lightly, and turned his face unnaturally, "That must not be me."

"Now this person who wants to treat me as a friend and brother puts me on the bed like that." Xu Chi said quietly.

Zhou Qi: "..."

Xu Chi was annoyed: "Oh, I was careless in making friends."

Zhou Qi was surprised, and pinched Xu Chi's waist: "Hey, why didn't I find that General Xu is eloquent before."

"Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

"Fart, it's obvious that you have never been sincere in life!"

Both of them lowered their wits like children, and they fought for a while with no nutrition at all.If Leng Qiu had seen such an incomprehensible general Xu earlier, the beautiful fantasy of many years might have ended early.

Talking nonsense has been proven to be effective in alleviating anxiety.

"What do you want to do after you go out?" Zhou Qi finally diverted Xu Chi's attention.

"Hmm." Xu Chi squinted his eyes and thought about it. At this moment, he is nestled in Zhou Qi's arms, like a lazy and noble cat, "In summer, you can drive to see the sea, in spring, you can walk to enjoy flowers, and in autumn, you can just go and see the sea." I can find a place with a high mountain and look far away, and then build a small bungalow there, and spend the rest of my life slowly with my lover."

His characteristic cold voice slowly spoke the most gentle words, and the light leaking from the end of his narrow eyes shone on Zhou Qi's face.

At that moment, Zhou Qi only felt that the four chambers of his heart were filled with honey, and the sweet blood flowed all over his body.

"You still remember the romance I promised you." There was a flame in his throat, and his eyes became brighter and brighter with passionate love.

"I'm not old enough to be demented yet." Xu Chi raised his head and kissed his eyes, "I can remember things that should be remembered for a long time."

"How long is a long time?"

"Probably, for a lifetime."

If there is anything in this world that can resist the boundless dark night and the fear in the bone marrow, it must be the lover who cuddles in his arms.

At night, the second hand of the wall clock moves, stops, and then tremblingly points straight up.

01:00.

In the silent cabin, a ghostly voice like a night owl suddenly sounded.

Zhou Qi turned over and sat up in a jerk.

In the darkness, he and the blue-gray owl clock looked at each other.

one second.

two seconds.

click.

The pores all over his body exploded, and he was sure that the human voice he heard just now was not an auditory hallucination in a dream.

The quilt beside him slowly slipped off, and Xu Chi sat up with a clear expression.

The two exchanged glances silently in the darkness.

After a burst of unknown noise, the pastor's trembling voice was transmitted to every corner of the cruise ship through the microphone in the owl's black pupil.

"The auspicious time has come, happy people, please choose your identity now."

As soon as the words fell, two rotating luminous cards appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The front and back of the cards had the same geometric pattern.

"Choose one of the two." Zhou Qi looked at the card repeatedly, seemingly trying to analyze the clues from the appearance, but returned in vain.He expressed his worries, "Could it be a game of life and death? If you choose the right one, you will live, if you choose the wrong one, you will die. Simple and rude?"

"It's possible." Xu Chi said.

After speaking, he reached out and took a card.

There was no lag or hesitation from beginning to end.

Zhou Qi: "..."

At times like this, he felt that Xu Chi was a heartless monster.

The luminous card lay quietly in Xu Chi's palm, and the pattern on the upward side gradually changed, revealing the silhouette of a man in a white suit. He knelt on one knee, raised his head halfway, and looked towards no one. kneel.

There is no text or label on the card, and no one knows the specific meaning.

Zhou Qiyi also chose the cards.

The character on his card is a woman in a white wedding dress holding a bouquet, also only profiled, with her head slightly lowered.

Zhou Qi turned the cards, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, took Xu Chi's cards over, and put the two cards together.

The characters on the two cards face each other and connect perfectly.

"This is..." Zhou Qi raised his eyebrows.

Xu Chi's expression was a little subtle.

"Brides and grooms, welcome to the grand wedding ceremony held for you." The pastor's sluggish voice was like two pieces of rusty iron scraping vigorously, "Now, take your tokens, and sincerely hope that you can find excellent weddings." the other half."

After finishing speaking, the bridal card in Zhou Qi's hand immediately turned into a water-red agate bracelet, as if it had its own consciousness, it spontaneously and firmly wrapped around his right wrist.

The other groom's card flew towards his owner, Xu Chi, and turned into a black obsidian bracelet, coiled around Xu Chi's left wrist.

Zhou Qi: "..."

Zhou Qi looked eagerly at Xu Chi who had raised the corners of his lips: "Don't you think the two of us should exchange cards?"

Xu Chi thought for a while and said, "I don't think so."

As he was gnashing his teeth, someone knocked on the door.

Zhou Qi turned on the light and opened the door, and Jiang Yu rushed in like a whirlwind, picking which pot was left open: "Brother Qi, brother Qi, are you the bride-to-be or the groom-to-be?"

Zhou Qi said with a dark face, "I'll go to your father's bride-to-be."

"Oh, you're also a bride, that's great!" Jiang Yu turned a corner very smoothly under his feet, and held Xu Chi's hand, "We are both grooms, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"It's a pleasure to meet you." The surface of the obsidian on Xu Chi's wrist was slowly flowing with dark light.

Zhou Qi snorted, picked up Jiang Yu, and threw him out of the door: "Is there nothing else to do? I'm tired of mourning, let's kneel down."

"Come on, ma'am, don't you want to know the specific situation of our other partners?" Jiang Yu struggled to knock on the door, "Ren Simiao is the bride, Xiao Qiu is the groom, Christine is the fucking groom too!"

Zhou Qi was expressionless: "Oh, so?"

"So now we have four grooms, and only two brides! You and Brother Chi are a couple, and Dr. Ren was taken over by Leng Qiu when he saw his friends. Christine got married with her roommate by herself!" Jiang Jiang Yu showed a cute smile, and knelt down with a plop, "Brother, you can find me a companion! Or show kindness and give me my sister-in-law..."

Zhou Qi clenched his fists and threatened with a ferocious expression: "I don't like to hear this, so you repeat it."

"Don't, anyway, with your personal charm, I think..."

"Just one word, don't make me say it a second time!"

The whole cruise ship woke up, the lights came on one by one, and there was a lot of trouble inside and outside.

No one knows what will happen after the card is selected.

People like Jiang Yu, picking out the pastor's words, are already busy matching.

Here Jiang Yu was hugging Zhou Qi and acting coquettishly, suddenly there was a loud bang, and the huge impact created the feeling of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking. Everyone couldn't stand, and they all supported the things around them.

Zhou Qi could barely maintain his balance on his own, but Jiang Yu was hanging on his body, and the two of them fell down with a plop, and rolled to the corridor one after another.

thump—

The back of Zhou Qi's head hit the bulkhead so hard that it hurt his eyes.

Before the golden flowers were gone, Jiang Yu said with a face that was completely bloodless: "Brother Qi, the boat is leaking."

"What's missing?" Zhou Qi's ears rang from the violent impact.

"Boat!" Jiang Yu held up his wet hands, looking anxious, "Water! The sea water is pouring in!"

Zhou Qi was stunned, he touched the floor under him, and sure enough, he felt waves of tide.

Before he could realize what happened, Xu Chi rushed out of the cabin and pulled the two of them up one by one: "Hurry up, something hit the boat, and the hull was tilted, this place is about to be flooded , go to the deck!"
