Before this, the system had many assumptions about how this night would develop.

However, what actually happened was obviously different from what he had imagined.

Well, it's completely different.

The next day, Senior Officer Kou asked him how the plan was going. It wasn't until he asked him three or four times that he heard a weak voice: [... I thought, Mosaic has been very slow. 】

Whether it's typing, speaking, or reacting, it seems to be a little slower than ordinary people.

Kou Qiu: [So? 】

The system pursed its lips, and the voice was full of grievances: 【But I just realized yesterday... I'm afraid I've been thinking wrong all along...】

It's not slow!

It's almost frictional electrification! !

Others couldn't understand it at all. He felt that his database was going to be burned and exploded.But when he brought it up with tears in his eyes, Mosaic not only didn't stop, but even invaded more violently!

The system complained: [I suspect that it is actually a virus! 】

Otherwise, how to explain such a strong destructive power?

Kou Qiu: […]

[Anyway,] the system said angrily, [This is different from what I planned.I want to go to you until he realizes his mistake--Abba, will you take in your little cutie? 】

Kou Qiu: […]

He had to say: [Come on. 】

The system was immediately overjoyed.

【He's gone out to buy medicine now, and I won't pack my things anymore, I'll go now! 】

Xiong Wei took his ID card, rushed to the station immediately, and took the nearest train to Kou Qiu's house.He put the box on the ground and said, "I just feel like I'm home now."

Kou Qiu laughed and poured him a cup of hot cocoa.The system boy sat upright on the sofa, and asked: "Abba, I still want a cushion."

Kou Qiu understood immediately, and handed over a thick round cushion, watching his cub carefully tuck the cushion under his buttocks in a distorted posture, and adjusted his sitting posture.

Senior officer Kou was a little worried, "How did you get here by train?"

"How else can I sit?"

Mentioning this, Xiong Wei's expression changed.Holding the mug in both hands, he said angrily: "I kept moving around, the passenger next door thought something was wrong with me, and stuffed me an advertisement for their anorectal hospital!"

He doesn't have hemorrhoids! !

Kou Qiu smiled and shook his head.

He has obviously lived well these years, with plump cheeks, and because his face is childlike, it looks delicate and white, no matter how you look at it, he looks like 27 or [-].Walking on the road, no one would have guessed that this person is now nearly forty years old.

The system took a sip and asked again, "Where is my father?"

Kou Qiu said, "Let's go out."

He looked down at the watch on his wrist, "Should be back soon."

The system sat and waited quietly. After a while, it really heard the sound of the key turning.The man was wearing a dark wool coat, which was very long, easily showing his superior long legs.He didn't express any surprise at the arrival of the system, he just embraced Kou Qiu and stamped on his lips with a low voice.

"Qiuqiu."

The system sat up straight, waiting for its share.

But Huo Qi just reached out and patted his head.

The young man's expression was obviously a little disappointed, but after a while, he cheered up again, and ran to the study room.

"What did you do this afternoon?" Huo Qi asked in a low voice, pulling the man to sit on his lap, and protecting the man's back with his hands, "Did you miss me?"

Kou Qiu's face was slightly red, and he said in a low voice, "Uncle Huo... how old are we?" Why are you still coaxing people like children?

Huo Qi's eyes were like deep pools, and he kissed him again.

"In my eyes, it's just a child," the man said, resting his forehead, "it will never grow up, it's just like this."

He hugged the man in his arms, for some reason, Kou Qiu felt that there was melancholy hidden in the man's expression.

He tugged at the man's skirt and said, "Uncle Huo?"

"Ok?"

Kou Qiu pulled him closer, slightly worried, "You..."

Huo Qi understood.He said, "It's all right."

I swear, I will make you well.

That night, the system slept in the bed of his father and father-in-law.There was only one bedside lamp turned on in the room, the light was dim, and the system was huddled in the middle, listening to Kou Qiu on the right reading stories to him in a low voice.

The story is still about bears, and the bear and his friends work together to finally protect their homeland.Kou Qiu imitated the voices of several animation characters so vividly that the system kept giggling, looking up at Kou Qiu with unconcealable peace of mind.

"Abba imitated Xiong Er's accent very much!"

Kou Qiu closed the book and smiled, "Really?"

He pulled the quilt for the system.

"Good night, baby."

The system retracted, yawned, and the voice gradually became muffled.

"...good night, father, father."

The lights of this world went out one by one, and everyone gradually fell into a peaceful sleep.Huo Qi didn't sleep, he still opened his eyes, turned sideways, and looked at his sleeping lover on the other side without blinking.

A fishy sweetness suddenly rose in his throat.

Huo Qi got up quietly without disturbing anyone, and went straight to the bathroom.He opened his mouth, and what he spit out was dark red blood clots, which were shockingly spread in the sink and washed down by the swirling water.

His energy in this world has reached its limit.

The time he ventured back in time exhausted his strength ahead of time, Huo Qi looked at himself in the mirror, and wiped away the misty water droplets on the mirror surface.The corners of the man's lips were still stained with blood, Huo Qi took a tissue and carefully wiped it clean bit by bit.

He has no regrets.

He has watched Kou Qiu suffer for too long.What rules... Fuck the rules, even if it's a little bit of extra suffering, it's not something that Qiuqiu should bear.

But everything in the world ultimately comes with a price.

Huo Qi's price should also come.

The man stood in the bathroom for a while, cleaning up everything without leaving any traces.When he walked out the door again, he could no longer see any signs of illness.

When he went to bed, Kou Qiu, who was lying on the side of the bed, seemed to have noticed something, turned over, and whispered: "...Uncle Huo?"

The man paused, and then covered his eyes with his hands.The trembling eyelashes pressed against Huo Qi's palm, they were very fragile, like wings that could break if folded.

"......Um."

Huo Qi said, his voice was very soft.

"I'm here."

--I am here.

The man still went out the next day.He went to see his companion, who was not surprised when he heard the news of his organ failure, "You have broken the rules for too long. The Lord God gave you a chance, but you reversed time... .It's too absurd and too dangerous."

Huo Qi held a cigarette between his fingers."You can't let me watch him get hurt a second time," he said.

"but--"

"No but."

The man cut off his words, stubbed out the cigarette, and the burnt ash fell into the vat as if it were still hot.

There was cruelty in Huo Qi's eyes.

"He must be happy."

The companion looked at him silently for a long while, and didn't try to persuade him any more, just said: "So, you want to speed up?"

"Ah."

"Negotiating with the main god is not an easy task."

"Well," Huo Qi said, his eyes were heavy, he didn't know what to think of, and he frowned, obviously made up his mind, "but I have to do it."

He went out more frequently in the days that followed, Kou Qiu heard that there was a problem with the company's operating conditions, and he didn't think it was strange, but he was a little worried.In the dead of night, he lay on the man's chest and asked softly, "Uncle Huo, you haven't kept anything from me, have you?"

Huo Qi's chest rose and fell slowly.

"What does Qiuqiu refer to?"

"All." Senior officer Kou rolled over and sat up, with a serious look on his face, "I hope you can say it, no matter what it is, we should face it together."

The man hugged him back, laughed softly, but didn't speak.

After a long time, when Kou Qiu's consciousness began to haze, he heard a familiar voice in a trance, "Qiuqiu, what if I can't accompany you forever?"

The man's hand caressed his cheek, and he sighed softly.

"Would you... miss me?"

Kou Qiu wanted to say something stupid.But his eyelids became heavier and heavier, like magnets, and finally they fit firmly in one place.He fell into a deep sleep almost instantly. After waking up, this sentence has been completely wiped from his mind.

Mosaic came to visit within two days.

The young man was very sensible, and when he came to the door, he carried a large bag of things in his hand, everything from the best bird's nest to the best red wine, as if he was visiting his mother-in-law, "Tong, is he here?"

Kou Qiu who opened the door turned sideways to let his son-in-law in, and asked, "Did you find him so soon?"

He remembered that this was Huo Qi's newly bought house, Mosaic shouldn't know.

Mosaic carried something and smiled faintly.

"That's right," he explained, "Tongtong used my Taobao account to buy things before, but after he left...he changed the default address of my account."

Veteran officer Kou: "..."

Got it, the power of technology!

Innovation is indeed the source of progress and development!

"It's in the bedroom inside." Kou Qiu didn't even bother to beat the mandarin duck, and pointed to him, "It's just that Ah Zai seems to be still angry. You coax, coax well."

Mosaic responded, but with confidence, he put the things on the ground and began to knock on the bedroom door.

"all?"

The system inside raised its voice angrily: "There is no one inside!"

Mosaic lowered his voice, full of tenderness.

"......all."

He said, "Look, I have a handful of dirt in my palm."

The system hummed.

"and then?"

"So I want to ask, the little cutie inside," Mosaic said with a smile on his lips, "Or would you like to plant yourself in my palm?"

"..."

Kou Qiu got goosebumps all over his body, and immediately walked into the study.

Are young people nowadays so tiresome when they talk about love?

He felt that his heart was hurt as a pure and upright socialist successor.

The system in the room held back for a while, and finally couldn't help laughing.He opened the door a thin crack, looked at the person in front of him, "I'm not a flower."

Mosaic said: "But you are more beautiful than flowers."

The corners of the system's lips rose a little.

Mosaic is still saying: "Do you know the difference between you and Hua?"

Seeing the young man shaking his head with only half of his face exposed in front of him, Mosaic's smile deepened, "The flowers are planted in the soil."

"Ok?"

"And you, planted in my heart."

System: "/(///w///)/!"

The door opened slightly again.

Mosaic continued his efforts: "I also learned divination recently."

"Really?" the system said, "What did the divination come out?"

Mosaic's eyes are full of tenderness, "Divination has produced something extraordinary. For example, I liked you yesterday, and I like you today, and I find that I will like you even more tomorrow."

"I also found out through divination that neither the earth nor the sun is the center of the universe. The real center is you."

"..."

The system buzzed and opened all the doors.He blushed completely, and asked in a low voice, "Are you sincere?"

Mosaic leaned forward and kissed him.

"Ah."

"...Well," the system's legs were limp and shy, "Since you speak so nicely..."

"Sounds good?"

When he came to bid farewell, Kou Qiu asked in disbelief, "What's so good about it, don't you feel nauseous?"

The system's fingers intertwined, looking like an embarrassed little daughter-in-law, "I don't think so."

Kou Qiu: "..."

Love not only blinds but also deafens.

But old Kou's father was also sincerely happy for him.

"Are you happy?"

The system whispered, "Yes."

Very happy, very happy.

He counted with his fingers, "I ate a lot of things that I could only look at before, slept in a bed, got a human form, parents, grandpa, and a lover..."

I can still do some embarrassing things that I could only imagine before.

This can be regarded as a journey in the world.

After experiencing all these fun and not fun, sweet and bitter, he finally knew what it was like to be a human being.

He felt fulfilled from the bottom of his heart.

"It would be great if we could continue like this," the system brat whispered, "We are a family."

His eyes were shining brightly, and when the corners of his mouth were pursed, there were dimples exactly like Kou Qiu's.

So Kou Qiu also laughed.

"Yes," he said, "our family..."

If only it were like this forever.

Every spring, Kou Qiu takes annual leave.They spend their travel time during their holidays, and the place they often go to is the seaside.

Stepping on the clear sea water, covering the hat on top of your head, you can see the smiling face of your lover when you turn your head.

They stepped on together, and their footprints made a mess of patterns.Occasionally, when you turn over the wet rocks, you can find blue crabs that have not had time to escape and are only waving their claws.

But Huo Qi was getting weaker and weaker day by day.

Gradually, he even felt strenuous even walking, Kou Qiu clearly noticed it, but he didn't say anything.Only the next day, he borrowed a small cart from the administrator, and he struggled to carry the man onto it and pushed it by himself.

Huo Qi sat on it with hands and feet curled up, feeling uncomfortable all over, "Qiuqiu..."

"Uncle Huo," Kou Qiu said, increasing his strength, "Sit down."

He pushed the man violently towards the sea.

The waves were blown up by the wind, and all the fine water splashed on their faces, refreshing them for a while.Both of them were smiling, their hair was wet a lot by the sea water, sticking to their faces, their smiles were still dazzling.

"Aren't you coming yet?"

"Come!"

They were chasing the waves again, like two children who never tire of the game.

Other tourists looked at them. These were not two particularly young people, or even the same gender.But when they laughed and ran towards the ocean like this, the flying emotions easily infected everyone.

Such a picture is too harmonious to make people feel disgusted.Even the old stubborn who usually discriminates against same-sex love shut his mouth tightly, squinted, and didn't say a word.

When he got tired from playing, Kou Qiu carried him off the stroller.They sat side by side on the beach, the tide rolled over and drowned their toes.

"I always feel that the seaside is a very important place for us," Kou Qiu said softly, "We have said goodbye many times here."

Huo Qi didn't look at him, but just tightened his grip.

"Ah."

"So, Uncle Huo," Kou Qiu suddenly turned his head, eyes bright red, "this time, do you want to say goodbye to me?"

Huo Qi was not surprised when he heard this sentence.

His lover, has always been very smart.

"I'll be back," the man said solemnly, "in another place, at another time."

The sun had completely set, and only the orange-red afterglow sprinkled on the sea surface, rippling and undulating layer by layer, like silk and satin.Huo Qi sat on the silk, and said, "Qiuqiu, wait for me."

"Okay."

Kou Qiu said, eyes still looking into the distance.

"I'll wait, but hurry up."

"--it is good."

The man leaned his frail body on the shoulder of his lover, and they squinted together, looking into the distance.Where the sea and the sky meet, you can still see a few rays of afterglow, as if being dragged by the waves and reluctantly holding on to it.But Sun pulled his sleeves and left resolutely.

Then even the last bit of orange-red light disappeared.All I could see was the dark sea.

They witnessed this sunset.

"It's so beautiful." Kou Qiu said, his voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

"Uncle Huo, do you think so?"

"..."

There was no echo from the side.The weight on his shoulders suddenly lightened, and when he turned his head to look at it, the figure of the man was also like a bubble, gradually becoming transparent and disappearing into the air.

Kou Qiu sat alone by the sea for a long time.The system saw all this and didn't bother him. He sat alone until the moon was in the sky, and then he patted the dirt on his body and stood up.

He clicked the dialog box in his mind.That blank space is still waiting, waiting to be filled.

He has waited so long.

Now...it's time too.

All the memories were pouring back, Kou Qiu didn't go to see it, he was afraid that he would read it, so he didn't have the courage to leave again.He held his breath and looked at the task.

Find true love.

And the love he has, the love that makes him feel happy, they all come from——

Kou Qiu's fingertips were trembling.The screen materialized and became tangible. Senior officer Kou put his hands on it, took several deep breaths, and finally wrote down the name in his heart in the blank space.

【---world. 】

The moment he put down the last stroke, the world began to spin and collapse, the sea water was broken into pieces, and the sky was torn apart.The scene around him blurred and disappeared, leaving only a blank space that unfolded lightly like a feather cover. They covered the blurred edges little by little, and finally covered his vision.

[The final task has been completed, you will be sent to: the real world. 】

【three--】

【two--】

【one--】

[Transmission starts. 】

Kou Qiu opened his eyes.

He was still lying on the floor, his bones seemed to be broken, a dull pain that made people tremble and couldn't even utter a sound.He heard a neighbor knocking on the door outside, with worry in his voice: "Qiu? Qiu are you okay, why do I seem to hear movement in your room?"

Kou Qiu endured the pain and replied as usual: "Well, it's all right. It's just that something fell off."

"That's good," the neighbor outside the door breathed a sigh of relief, "If there is anything wrong, just say it, huh?"

Kou Qiu's eyes suddenly became sore.He reluctantly swallowed the inexplicable sourness and said, "Okay."

The elevator arrived and the neighbor went downstairs.

Kou Qiu was still sitting alone on the carpet, as if nothing had happened.He has no father, no lover, only the sickness who favors him very much and thinks he is different, so he visits him frequently.He got used to the pain, and gradually he didn't take it seriously.

It just hurts.

At least he's still alive.

Kou Qiu struggled to stand up, but found that he used his strength easily, as if there was nothing wrong with his leg.At the same time, someone knocked on the door again, and Xiong Gang outside raised his voice, "Qiu, did you accidentally drop your phone just now? I saw your dad standing downstairs calling you, why didn't you Don't accept it?"

At this moment, Kou Qiu could hardly distinguish between the task and the reality.With trembling lips, he repeated in disbelief, "My dad?"

"Yeah!" Xiong Gang said, "What's the matter with you, didn't you just come up to pack something? You haven't come down for so long?"

Kou Qiu shifted his gaze, only to find the big suitcase standing beside him, which was full of sundries he used every day.The neighbor said: "Your dad thought you were in some trouble, he came up to pick you up!"

Kou Qiu opened the door, and Kou Tianming stood outside the door, reaching out to take the box in his hand, full of kindness.

"Qiuqiu, why didn't Dad answer the call just now?"

Kou Qiu responded blankly.He said, "I didn't hear..."

At the same time, an elevator ding came from the corridor.After school, the two boys are bouncing and walking towards this side holding hands, the one on the left who is shorter has the same dimples when he smiles, the one on the right is taller but always looks a bit dull, the boy and Kou Qiu said hello, "Father! Are you coming back to get something?"

Kou Qiu stared fixedly at the child's face.

...can't be wrong.

Can't go wrong!

This is the system! !

The system tilted its head, as if still a little puzzled, "Abba?"

Kou Qiu suddenly looked at the phone.The time of the calendar is five years after his death.

Everything came according to the perfect dream shaped by this world for him.He still has a father, a cub, has undergone surgery, and is pain-free...

In this world, there is only one person missing.

Without his lover.
