"I really miss you..."
Wanting to respond but feeling choked up, unable to speak.
Opened my eyes, and met the ceiling again.
Yao Yao...
You are quickly becoming a blurry image in my heart.
...
"Awake?"
Someone is cooking something nearby, and a tempting voice drifts into the ear.
Gudududu,
ton ton ton.
"You're not going to work today?"
"Vacation."
Vacation...
Oh, vacation.
I haven't known how long it's been since I took a vacation. That day, I came back exhausted and fell asleep on the sofa. Afterwards, I felt like my legs were about to break. "Where did you go for so long?"
Rubbing my heavy head, memories are only scattered fragments. If memories don't exist, it seems like there's nothing to prove. "Let's go out for a walk." "Yeah, I was going to ask you, are you able to go out?"
Oh, but I think it's just at a specific time.
Shaking as I stood up, I tried twisting the handle again.
It's really cold...
Sure.
"Exactly."
"What time is it now?" I asked Yi.
"Ten thirty-three."
"At least it has to be in the afternoon."
Noodles, right? Yao Yao loves to eat dumplings.
Through the window glass and the door, the sunlight still shines in, casting clear shadows on the ground.
It's so hot, this sun...
I hate sunny days.
'Actually, you just hate the heat.'
Eh?
Yao's voice suddenly echoed in my mind, along with the memory that followed:
"It's so hot, summer."
"How is the winter?"
"Not bad compared to summer."
"Hmm?"
"Because it's too cold, you can wear more clothes, but if it's too hot, there's nothing you can do."
"Is that so?"
"Mm."
"Can winter and summer really be compared?"
"Hmm?"
"Actually, you just hate the heat."
"Hmm?"
The gem-like eyes sparkled with a hint of imperceptible amusement.
Are you teasing me?
"The summer scenery is not bad either..." I muttered, feeling a little embarrassed.
She didn't reply, and the direction her eyes were fixed on seemed unknowable to others.
"Actually, you just hate the heat..."
Is that so?
Is a summer without a heatwave what I want?
"Winter is very cold, summer is very hot. That's life. If I have the ability in the future, I'll fly to the equator in Africa in winter, and head to the Arctic in Antarctica in summer!"
"What are you thinking about? You mischievous girl."
"Hey, rabbit."
"Why, why go to Africa?" I couldn't help but laugh. "Because it's very cold in winter."
"Then when you go to Africa, it's summer again. It must be really hot there, right?"
"Yeah... it seems like it!"
So cute, fool.
"If that's the case, it seems like there's winter and summer wherever you go, always facing severe cold and heatwaves... Boring!"
Did that hit you hard?
The little rabbit's ears drooped for a moment.
Lop-eared rabbit is also very cute!
"Maybe it's Norway, in Norway it seems like there's a certain scenery all year round, with polar day and polar night."
"It seems to be an island?"
"It seems so."
Suddenly thought of Iceland, but what came to mind was the ice caps of the Arctic and Antarctic.
"Then let's go to Norway!"
"Hey, hey, changed your mind?"
"Yes!"
"Is this considered a dream?"
"I don't know, but right now I feel this way in my heart, the desire is strong!"
Dragging its ears hanging on the ground, the rabbit is hopping in front of me, full of joy and excitement.
"With you!"
Oh, suddenly rushing into the arms, stumbling and unable to stop retreating.
Oh, soft and warm.
With me...
You always planned for the two of us to go to many places, and the dreams you described also captivated me.
But now, you have already left. To a place unknown.
The furthest point from land is Point Nemo, and the furthest point from the ocean is Tori County. The greatest distance in geography is 40,000 kilometers from the equator to any point. If we are all still on Earth, then we can't get any further, right? "Hey, hey!"
"Ah?"
"What are you thinking about standing there?"
"Nothing, just nothing. It's been a while since I came over here, but you still have no clue over there?"
"I have observed this world," he sighed and said, "It's no different from the real world, you could even say it's identical."
"What do you mean by 'exactly the same' that you mentioned?"
"People, events, and so on."
"Are there familiar people or events here as well?"
"I mean... um, like what the world is made of."
"So, you mean, here is the same as Earth, with seven continents and eight oceans, and various countries? Is it the same as over there, or..."
"I'm not sure, I haven't traveled that far. Maybe we are still on Earth."
"Is it just a different space?"
"I'm more inclined to think that it's just not completely transplanted."
Incomplete?
"Familiar yet unfamiliar..."
"I got it!" I interrupted, "It's like, um... a science fiction movie. Like Harry Potter? Maybe that's not quite accurate. But this world, the one we're in right now, should have some kind of strange power, but it's not a completely magical world."
"If you put it that way, I also have a feeling. But if there's magic, then what about the cars on the street?"
"In 'Harry Potter' there are cars too, it's just that..."
"Just that?"
"I guess not everyone would come here, right?"
"Of course not."
"Have you seen other people, from the old world?"
"Old world?"
"I mean the one in the past."
"No, if you mean the one we used to know."
Suppose this theory is true, a world? This is too vast, what, what really constitutes a world? Where is the boundary, and how large is it?
This is too, this is too...
"You said you were at work?"
"Yes."
"What about the work, currency, and everything else? Is it all the same as our place?"
Yina took out a photo, familiar yet unfamiliar.
"It's obviously different, but it feels familiar."
"Because the original world's currency no longer has a portrait."
Yeah, only the denomination and design, no portrait.
"What about the internet? How do people communicate?"
So many things came to mind at once, and for a moment I felt both excited and overwhelmed.
Is it because I'm too familiar that I overlooked it?
"It's more like the past here, the past of that other world over there," he said, shaking the old-fashioned phone in his hand.
I understand, I understand!
"I got it!"
"What?"
"We're not actually trapped in some alternate space, this is still the old world. We're just in a place we've never been before, just like those kidnapped people, those who disappeared."
"Trafficking? Disappearance?"
"This is not an anime, nor is it any science fiction work. This so-called Interdimensional portal is everywhere. We, we must be somewhere in the original world. You've lived for so long, and you haven't noticed at all."
"No,"
It felt like a bucket of cold water being poured on me.
"I have a different opinion from you."
"What?"
"I feel that if I were the warden, the creator, and I wanted to trap you, I would definitely make this alternate space as familiar to you as possible. Even though it might have many flaws at first, the more you stay in this cage, the more it becomes adaptive to you. Once you accept this setting, it's not the feeling of 'an anomaly in a peaceful world,' but rather 'comfort in danger.' So I say, the world is just becoming more like the familiar setting in our memories, in order to trap us. The longer you stay, the harder it is to escape."
For a moment, I was speechless with surprise. I had never thought in the direction she was considering. Too many thoughts, too many, all tangled together...
No matter what, I'm going to find her!
Yes, just guessing won't help.
I'm going, I'm going to find her!
"Thinking too much is useless, I'm going to go find her."
"Now?"
"I'm going to do it, no matter what, I'm going to do it."
"No," he suddenly stood in front of her.
"Why?"
"What's the reason?"
"Why do you have to go find her?"
"What does it have to do with you?"
I don't understand. "I mean," she dodged her eyes, "even if you find her, so what? Whether it's another world or a cage, what can you discover by taking such a risky action? Can you even get out? You can't even get out of this door!"
I'm really at a loss. I turned the doorknob, but there was no response. I felt a surge of frustration in my heart, truly unwilling to accept it. The feeling of helplessness, I don't want to let anger rise. Ahhhhh!
"Moreover, finding her is not something that can be done in just a day or two. Isn't it more important to survive first?"
Waiting,
Is it still just waiting...
No, no...
No!
But I...
Now I can't even go out of this door.
I suddenly regret coming back that day.
"Maybe, you don't necessarily have to open it by yourself."
"Eh!?"
With that, she turned and walked towards the door, skillfully opened it, and walked out.
Yeah, with her around, I don't need to open the door.
This simple action seems extremely unfamiliar to me.
Thud!
The door was closed with a heavy sound.
Huh?
"Hey! Hey!"
What's up, what's up?
"What does this mean?! What does this mean?!"
Outside the door, there was complete silence, with no response to be heard. I started to feel anxious.
When was the last time I was this angry? I could feel the warmth of anger burning in my chest. My consciousness blurred in the intense heat, and I instinctively pounded on the door with my hands.
Dang.
The cannonball flew out, and the door was pushed open by the hot air.
Yi Jing stood there quietly, the light behind her scattered in her hair, dazzling.
"Take a step forward and give it a try."
"What for?"
Shaking, I stood up and took that step forward.
Sigh!
Suddenly felt a chill in my mind.
These, these are?
