The early morning sunlight shines through the curtains into the house.
There was a familiar faint fragrance in the air, and a soft quilt was covering him. Chu Zihang opened his eyes, and the smell of sunshine and rain and dew around him confirmed that Xia Mi was really lying next to him.
He turned his head and blinked his long and lingering beautiful eyes. The girl lay lazily next to him, staring at him until he woke up. Her eyes were as clear as a lake.
Xia Mi was wearing the same couple's pajamas as him, and her black hair was scattered smoothly behind her like a waterfall along the snow neck. Her elegant and refined beauty made the morning rising outside the French window eclipse.
"morning."
"……morning."
Say hello a little awkwardly.
Xia Mi stared at him with a narrow smile, seemingly very satisfied with the slight embarrassment he was showing at the moment.
"Forget marrying him, this idiot looks fine!"
High-pitched screams resounded through the room with huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and the parrot in the corner seemed to have received God's will and sang loudly.
Xia Mi chuckled.
She smiled and rolled into the boy's arms. The smile on her face was irrepressibly bright and overwhelming, while Chu Zihang's face was full of embarrassment.
"...I had a dream." He took a deep breath.
"Eh?" Xia Mi blinked, waiting for his next words.
Chu Zihang fell into silence abnormally, and his eyes suddenly lost focus.
This was not a trick to change the subject to eliminate embarrassment, but he really had a long dream last night.
This dream was as real as a personal experience, which made him completely unbelievable, especially since he woke up and has never forgotten it until now.
In the dream, he did not think of the girl in front of him on the Ferris wheel. Xia Mi and he talked freely about the holy place where three major dates were held, and then talked about the family's quarrels. Finally, he was interrupted by Principal Angers, and the subsequent unfolding was also different. They encountered each other on the roller coaster.
The principal used Time Zero to save a father and son from a life-and-death crisis, and then he was seriously injured and fell into a coma for a week...
"This dream... is very real." Chu Zihang hesitated, not knowing how to speak.
“How true and real?”
A beautiful face without any blemishes came close to Xia Mi, looking at the boy in front of him with curiosity, and the voice alone was like the sound of nature, making people think endlessly.
Chu Zihang: "..."
Xia Mi: "..."
Seeing the woman who appeared like a ghost, Chu Zihang and Xia Mi's minds couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
They both fell into silence.
"Suprise!" A super loud "surprise" came.
The uninvited guest flew onto Xia Mi's body, aiming at the girl's weak points with his hands. The two girls, who were as beautiful as angels descending to the world, immediately rolled into a ball. It was already late autumn, but there was still endless spring in the house.
Chu Zihang stood up expressionlessly, reached out and grabbed the back of Norns' neck, and lifted her up like a cat.
"Hey!" Norns fluttered his hands and feet in the air and said shyly, "Boy, don't be like this, Xiaomi is still watching from the side!"
Chu Zihang opened the door and threw the second-hand goods out.
"Fuck!"
There was the sound of butt hitting the ground outside the door, and the exclamation of a girl...an old woman.
"Dongdongdong!" Knowns knocked on the door fiercely, wailing like a completely defeated golden retriever, "Oh, let me in, I want to have sex with Xiaomi!"
Chu Zihang ignored her with a dark face.
"Wuwuwu, I was wrong, I shouldn't have taken advantage of Xiaomi..."
"Hanghang, please forgive my sister. Give her a chance to correct her mistakes. The worst she can do is sacrifice her life for you to take back!"
"Mimi, I'd like to advise you quickly..."
The door suddenly opened.
Chu Zihang raised his scabbard expressionlessly and hit the woman on the head.
The world is quiet.
Knowns sniffed, tears streaming down his face, and looked pitiful.
Xia Mi stood behind Chu Zihang, stretched out his head to look at Norns, and asked curiously: "Why is sister free to visit today?"
Norns suddenly changed his face, his face was straight, but there was no trace of tears in his eyes, and he said seriously: "In the third solar era, every newlywed couple will receive blessings from their relatives on the morning after the wedding.
"
Chu Zihang said calmly: "We are not related by blood, nor can we be related by blood."
Norns put his hands on his hips and said loudly: "You are the man chosen by me! The successor of the Third Sun Era, of course I can only reluctantly be your sister!"
"Sorry, you look too much like the green tea mentioned in the book." Chu Zihang analyzed calmly.
Knowns cleared his throat: "Do you like a pure and dignified sister? That's easy to say!"
She turned around, and her original blond hair, twin ponytails and sailor uniform instantly changed into a snow-white long skirt and black silk hanging around her waist.
She pursed her lips and smiled, her smile was elegant and indifferent. She held a tray between her white jade fingers. The teapot on the tray was filled with the fragrance of tea. She was indeed a pure, dignified and generous good sister.
"Zihang, Xiaomi, why don't you ask sister to sit down?" the woman asked with a smile.
After a while.
Knowns sat on the bamboo chair by the window, with a slight smile and a white dress that was better than the snow. Her white jade fingers gently picked up the Kuding tea in front of her and tasted it in small sips. Her posture was elegant and generous, which perfectly interpreted everyone's feelings.
The four words "boudoir".
She has completely different painting styles from the woman who broke into other people's rooms without permission, just like ink painting and oil painting.
If today's women are elegant and soft ink landscapes, then the women of the past were oil paintings.
Of course, it's not a colorful oil painting, but a greasy oil.
Xia Mi held Norns' hand excitedly: "Sister, I want to learn, I want to learn!"
Norns smiled softly, patted Xia Mi's hand gently, and said with a chuckle: "Sister, don't make trouble, this is a talent, you can't learn it."
When she seemed to be a different person, the beauty that had accumulated over time overshadowed everything else.
Her aura suppressed the entire audience invisibly. Both Chu Zihang and Xia Mi were affected by the woman at this moment.
After all, no matter in terms of vision, wisdom, or inner acuity and broad mind, both of them are far inferior to the old woman who has lived for several solar centuries.
Chu Zihang said in a deep voice: "Now we can get down to business."
Knowns put down his tea cup and said with a smile: "But what are you talking about?"
"...Is the dream last night related to you?" Chu Zihang said in a low voice.
"Do you really think I'm a god? I don't have the ability to mess with someone's dreams at will. However, it seems like you had a very interesting dream." Under Norns's long eyelashes, his eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc.
, lightly parted his lips and said, "Then let me guess, you must have made a very long one, and it is as real as if you have experienced it yourself, right?"
"Just skip this unnecessary temptation." Chu Zihang said softly, "Since I am the one chosen by you, I hope that we can build a basic trust between us. Just be honest."
"Are you going to be blunt?" Norns raised his jade finger gently in front of his lips and said with a half-smile, "Then I'll come over here."
"Please." Chu Zihang's face was solemn.
"You should have seen another destiny trajectory in your dream, right?"
"...the trajectory of fate?"
"Then let me be more straightforward. In the dream, is Xiaomi still alive?"
Chu Zihang's face was grim.
This was what he was most afraid of and didn't know how to tell Xia Mi.
In that dream, he did not recall the past with the girl on the roller coaster. The relationship between them was hazy and vague until the end.
The girl who was stubborn until her death raised her head, threw him a key, and sneered that she had buried his girl in that house. She denied that she was Xia Mi, thus denying all the vague feelings,
He didn't even give him the slightest chance to verify it, and he did it beautifully and decisively.
At the end of the story, he was lying alone in the cold and empty room in BJ, slowly closing his eyes. The setting sun took away the last rays of light, and the night covered him like a curtain.
At that moment, he knew clearly that when he woke up this time, he would never see an angel lowering his head in the sun, as if to kiss his lips.
Because that girl is gone forever.
When he recalled this dream clearly, he couldn't help but connect it all with what his junior brother said on the elevated road.
At the end, he killed the girl he liked with his own hands.
"This is just a dream!" he emphasized hoarsely.
"As long as you are happy." Knowns intertwined his fingers and gently placed them on his chin, smiling and saying, "It seems that I guessed right, that guy is really targeting you."
"Who?!" Chu Zihang was keenly aware that his dream might be inseparable from the person Norns mentioned!
But if it is true as he guessed, this dream is another destiny trajectory, his experience in his previous life, then who is the person who controls all this and turns this experience into a dream and puts it into his mind?
A word that symbolized infinite nobility and greatness slowly emerged in his mind.
That is--
god.
"Don't worry, tell me first where the asxs and the ending of this dream are." Knownes narrowed his eyes.
".asxs..." Chu Zihang suddenly condensed his voice, "It's this year's summer vacation...the day of returning to school is July 17th, and the end point is Christmas Eve."
He found the key point!
The day you return to school is also the day you meet your junior brother!
The reason why it ended on Christmas Eve was because he had been lying in the hospital bed until the eve of Christmas Eve before he could get out of bed and move around freely, and went to the house where Xia Mi lived in BJ.
"You mean..."
"I didn't say anything." Knowns interrupted him, "Don't think nonsense. Even if your junior brother wanted you to know this story, he wouldn't choose this time. No matter how sweet the sugar is, it can't be mixed with it.
Shit."
"Do you still remember what I said to you that day?" the woman said softly, "Did you have an answer about the cyclic catastrophe of the fifth solar era?"
"Is it the Black King Nidhogg?" Chu Zihang stared into her eyes and chanted in a low voice, "The day it returns, everything will be buried. That is the end of the era, the twilight of the gods.
.”
"Wrong answer." Knownes smiled.
Chu Zihang was silent for a long time and then said softly: "It can't be that guy, right?"
This time, Knowns thought for a long time and finally gave an ambiguous answer.
"I used to guess the same thing, when I saw the power that the two brothers had." Knowns said calmly, "But, I have overturned this guess now."
"What prompted you to overturn your original guess?"
"Of course it's fate." Norns said with a deep look, "Haven't you discovered yet? The dream you have is exactly the most fundamental destiny that has been changed."
Chu Zihang was lost for a long time and said hoarsely: "Who is she?"
"Maybe it's God."
"Why maybe?"
"Because I haven't seen it with my own eyes."
"You haven't seen it with your own eyes? Then why do you dare to make such a conclusion?"
Knowns was silent for a moment: "Sorry, I used some tricks before."
"I don't care what means you use, but you must tell me everything. Frankness is the basis of trust." Chu Zihang said word by word.
Norns avoided his gaze. She looked at Xia Mi and whispered: "Xia Mi, with the ultimate power of the dragon clan, can you reverse the established past and restart everything?"
Xia Mi smiled strangely and said: "If you mean reversing time and space and going back to the past, then of course the answer is... no! If we can do this, it will still be an era ruled by dragons until now."
Chu Zihang was stunned for a few seconds, and then shuddered violently.
yes……
The power that can change the past has officially entered the realm of theology. If that kind of power really existed in the world, humans would have no room to struggle!
Master this power, and the Dragon Clan will never fall from its throne!
He missed the point!
Or maybe he was misled by Norns!
The little trick Knowns mentioned was that she misled herself and asked herself to go to her junior brother on her behalf to confirm whether he had come back from the future!
"It seems that you have noticed." Norns apologized, "I did use some small tricks, and I would like to apologize to you. That guy will not argue with you, but I can't say it."
"The ultimate power of the Dragon Clan can indeed change the past, but it cannot completely reverse time and return to the present from the future, so..."
"Someone is helping him."
Knowns spoke clearly, with a hint of coldness deep in his voice.
"We have always suspected that there is a certain high-dimensional creature in this world. She observes us just like we observe humans, or observes the entire world, but we have never confirmed this statement."
"A few months ago, on July 17, as you mentioned, on that day the birdman and I clearly noticed the change in the world line, as if a hand turned the wheel of fate.
The roulette wheel that was about to stop is spinning at high speed again... combined with everything that has happened so far, I think you should be able to understand what I want to express."
"By the way, July 17th...is still your junior brother's birthday in this life."
Chu Zihang's breathing became rapid due to disorder.
Of course he could understand what Knownes meant, and it was precisely because of this that he fell uncontrollably into shock.
He really wanted to ask his junior brother why he came back, but his reason told him that instead of asking Norns, it was better to ask his junior brother.
"Are you afraid?" Knownes suddenly asked.
"fear?"
"Human beings are always afraid of the unknown."
"No...it's more about joy and gratitude than fear."
Knowns tilted his head, waiting for Chu Zihang's complete answer.
"I don't know if there is someone behind the scenes controlling everything, or if there is a hidden purpose."
Chu Zihang turned his head and looked at the dreamy girl beside him. The gate in his heart opened, and an emotion that seemed to have been accumulated for two lifetimes burst out. He held Xia Mi's hand tightly and whispered:
"But I am very grateful to her, and I will cherish every minute of the rest of my life."
The autumn sunshine slanted into the house through the sycamore trees outside the house in a hazy way. It peeked out from Xia Mi's ears and fine hair. Her quiet and beautiful face became more and more enchanting under the alternating light and dark light.
Just like the sleeping princess in the fairy tale, she really appeared beside him.
And in that dream, the princess slept forever in that deep and silent tunnel.
The contrast between reality and dreams increasingly highlights the beauty of the present.
That kind of happiness seemed to be searching for gaps along the veins of his heart like sunshine, seeping into his body and mind little by little, filling his soul.
Maybe it's because I'm holding the hand of the girl I love.
His mind has never been so stable.
