At the bridge by the riverside again, there's a different feeling. The boats on the water are like long swords, and suddenly I see the sun rising not far away. The familiar houses on both banks suddenly look so beautiful.
At night, moonlight spills down. A familiar song plays on the old CD player. I think of that night long ago, and now there's no sadness like back then.
It seems like I'm always lost, my mind is unsettled, and I can't stop drifting.
But we have already embarked on the journey, each for our own path. Even though we are not fully prepared.
But we have set out on the road, this is an inevitable journey.
"I'll take you to find her," she said, and I followed her.
"Just can't guarantee if we'll find her or not."
The moment I heard it, I felt a little panic. But I don't care.
Unless I see the result myself, unless I personally see the result.
I want you, I want to see you.
Yao Yao, wait for me.
"Is there a long-distance bus station in this world too?"
Yi has become an all-knowing guide, but refuses to respond to anything I say.
What are you still hiding?
The signboard uses "this and that" instead of the station name, and the numbers don't add up to the time.
30:30—40:10
What's this?
The train attendant tears off ticket stubs from the tickets, and the people around board the train as usual.
So familiar...
Yet so unfamiliar.
The cage of adaptive...
If she hadn't said so, but after all, she did say so.
It's terrifying to think about, so immense.
The small hole above emits a chilling air, and I want to adjust its direction to face me as much as possible.
Today there are a lot of people on the street, and the air is filled with heat. Or has it always been like this? Not sure.
But it doesn't matter.
But it feels like this.
The buildings passing by outside the window are no different from the old ones. Clearly it's a familiar scene, but my heart can't help but be surprised.
It's hard to explain.
After sitting for a while, my watch showed 14:56, but the display screen on the car showed 40:56.
It's no use, I didn't remember the departure time.
Ah, my head...
Huh?
A heavy weight on my shoulder, it's Yi resting her head on me.
What, we're not at that kind of relationship yet.
Seeing her asleep, I inexplicably felt relieved. I remembered a long-distance train ride from my childhood, when a fellow traveler also rested their weary head on my shoulder.
Mm-hmm...
I'm also extremely tired. In the end, the two heads leaned against each other. It looked like two intimate people. Well, if Yao Yao found out...
Yao Yao,
Yao Yao....
I tell you everything, I talk to you about everything,
Can you please come back soon?
I have a lot of stories to tell you.
Like the mournful warrior's thunder...
Grasp hold of yourself, as well as the fate of all humanity...
The war that must continue for the sake of survival...
Even without dreams, one can still protect the dreams of others.
Maintaining the World, a person who will never meet again.
That day, you leaned on my shoulder and softly murmured these stories.
I still have many more, and I still want to tell you.
When will you start to browse through those books again?
Feeling the weight on your shoulders, your eyes inadvertently glance at the person beside you.
You...
It's not her.
You are not her.
In the mountains?
Looking at the constantly passing trees and grass outside the window, we drove into somewhere. I wanted to wake up Yi, and she had already opened her eyes at some point. I was about to say something when the surroundings suddenly went dark. Ah...!
In my heart, I couldn't help but exclaim, holding onto my wrist tightly.
"It's just a tunnel."
A tunnel...
Tunnel?
Am I being too paranoid?
In the midst of fate ness, I can't help but feel nervous. Only when I see the end of the light from the other side, and it all spills in, can I finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Do you believe me?"
She had fully awakened, her hair neatly tied back, and she had taken off her glasses and put them away.
"It's strange that you suddenly ask that."
After a moment of hesitation, the expression returned to its previous vitality.
"Yeah, decisions are difficult, and not necessarily worth it."
What exactly are you saying that's so strange?
Suddenly slammed on the brakes, the passengers began to disembark one by one. Yi grabbed her hood and pulled it over her head, and there was an inexplicable tension in the air. "Whether you believe me or not, stick close to me." Taking the last step off the stairs, the sky had already darkened. Yi stood there, gazing at the fleeting sunset, and waved back at me. I ran up to her to ask something, but she ran off just as I was about to reach her. We moved forward like a pendulum, one step at a time.
I don't know how long it took to climb over the fence. A hotel appeared in front of me, the only building within a few miles that was shining brightly, appearing particularly tall and dazzling.
But through the lighted windows, you could see the figures inside, and the bustling voices could be heard from several meters away. In the midst of fate night, it seemed a bit eerie, as if strange monster eyes were staring at everyone who approached.
I had already arrived at the door, but hesitated to go in.
"Aren't we supposed to come here? Why not..."
I was about to knock on the door when she reached out and stopped me, the warmth of her hand telling me she was hesitating.
"What's wrong?"
At such a close distance, you can hear all kinds of sounds from inside, the clinking of wine glasses, countless murmurs, someone laughing heartily, and the sound of someone enjoying a meal. Or perhaps, is it a group of desperados inside?
This place does indeed look uneasy. The fence I just climbed over, although short, seems endless. It doesn't seem to be very effective for trapping or protecting anything. The excessive quietness makes it feel like there is hidden danger. A little further away, only faint, short black shadows can be seen, and it's hard to tell if it's shrubbery or something else. The sky is completely dark now.
Where exactly is this place?
"Let's go!"
After suddenly saying this, he rang the doorbell and it's unclear which step was faster.
After two brief sounds, the voice inside gradually became faint until it completely quieted down, merging with the same deathly silence outside.
Thud,
Thud,
It's not the earth trembling, it's more like someone is wielding a giant hammer and striking the ground.
Thud,
Thud,
With one hand holding onto the extended window frame and the other hand on the door frame, I felt like I was being gently shaken off.
Thud,
Thud,
Closer and closer,
Getting closer and closer.
There were a few more sounds, and it seemed like whatever was behind the door was right next to us.
"Dependence..."
The uncontrollable heartbeat, various distant familiar fears surged in my heart. Listening to the panting behind the door, I,
"Dependence, dependence,"
Pulling at the sleeve, I suddenly became so dependent on her, I don't understand it myself. Perhaps she's the only thing I can hold onto tightly and dare not let go of.
"Yi, Yi...."
Her body was also trembling, but amidst the cries, thunder roared!
The door
Is open.
Postscript:
At night, lying on the bed at the Old inn, tears on my face.
I play with the shadow of my fingers in the bright night outside the window, really missing her.
There are constantly people moving In the midst of fate ness. I bury my face in the pillow. I must rest.
Sad,
Heart,
Slowly decaying,
Another season of flowers has bloomed.
(End of Volume 1)
