The hotel is a magical place at night, maybe there are bugs stuck to the glowing curtain next door.
It was raining lightly, and it got in but didn't know how to get out.
"Puff-"
So I had to keep beating.
I finally stopped exhausted. The air conditioner hissed and the indoor curtains danced with the wind. There was an ethereal feeling.
Su Yao closed her eyes and dreamed for the first time in a long time.
I dreamed of lying in warm muddy water again. The rustling wind blew on the barren land, and black clouds lying flat like oil paper covered the entire field of vision.
I don't know when I got up, but my sleepy brain finally woke up. I wanted to get up, but I found that all the energy in my body had escaped with the loss of air in my lungs.
Unable to move, he just stared blankly at the sky.
"Huhu——"
The wind whistling in my ears became lower and lower, and the dark clouds gradually thickened to the point where it was difficult to see the scene.
What exactly is it?
If you can't remember the way you went, you can't exit.
When I saw him again, he was already sitting on the single sofa. The armrests on both sides squeezed him.
This is a cramped space. There are three-dimensional walls on all sides, pink and white, and there are no doors. There are no windows, not even small holes.
Unable to leave the chair. I could only stare at the A4 paper on the table in front of me.

【363.46.23.58.1】
——
Su Yao slept deeply.
I vaguely felt something furry moving around on my cheek, as if it was deliberately teasing myself.
What on earth is it?
"Wow——"
"Huh?"
As I reached out to grab it, I heard a small exclamation.
"Big brother is awake?"
“···”
The familiar soft and waxy voice seemed to be different.
Su Yao opened his eyes, and a small face that still looked a little childish appeared in his sight.
It's Youye.
She was smiling lightly. The culprit on her face just now was her tail. When did she change the fabric covering her tail into something as warm as a down jacket and a mink hat?
She also wore a pink scarf around her neck.
"You night..."
Su Yao subconsciously touched that face.
But the other party avoided it.
"Brother, get up quickly. If you're a little later, you'll have to go to class hungry, right?"
Attend class?
Su Yao sat up from the bed and habitually went to the bedside to fumble for cigarettes.
But there is only a lamp on the cabinet next to the bed. Where are the cigarettes?
By the way, this house is not a hotel at all, right?
There is a bookshelf in the room, filled with all kinds of books. The bed is not a big round bed like in Austria, but a small bed for two people.
There is a navy blue suit hanging behind the door.
When Su Yao sat up, You Ye had already gone out, and he was the only one left in the room.
That dress...
No impression at all.
"Dad is a lazy man, Xiaoli and I are already up."
"That's right. Yesterday, he said that my brother and I were slackers. It's obvious that he is!"
"You can't say that about Dad. Dad has to prepare lessons every day and play with you when he comes back. It's very tiring."
"Hmph~ I don't care, dad is just a lazy man! He hasn't even gotten up yet!"
“···”
What's going on with the noise outside?
It always feels very strange.
place···
The interior decoration style is not like Austria. There is a faint fragrance in the room. There are various suits and shirts neatly placed in the wardrobe. There are also women's clothes mixed in. They are all very petite clothes.
.
On the top shelf are neatly folded quilts.
Su Yao hesitantly took out a pair of pants and put them on, then put on the suit hanging on the back of the door and walked out.
"Ah, lazy daddy is up!"
"Slightly~ lazy!"
Two unknown children, the little boy with mushroom hair, grinned at him.
Those eyebrows always look familiar.
The little girl was made of pink and jade, as if she was carved from the same mold as You Ye. Wearing a pure white dress, it was like seeing the original miniature version of You Ye again.
what is going on?
"Both of you, shut up!"
I saw Youye giving someone a blow with a knife.
"Woo——"
The two children immediately fell silent in aggrieved tone.
At this time, Su Yao went to observe Youye again and found that something decisive had changed.
I've long since noticed something strange.
Youye wears a silver ring on the ring finger of her left hand. Her hair is no longer the shawl it used to be. It is now tied up into a single ponytail.
Su Yao lowered his head blankly and found the same object on the ring finger of his right hand.
"husband?"
A very strange title.
At least Su Yao was startled when she heard the soft and waxy voice she was accustomed to forming into such words.
"If you don't go wash up, it will really be too late, right?"
“···”
"Are you too tired from attending class yesterday? Otherwise, I will take leave today and not go."
Facing the gazes of the three people, Su Yao had to come back to his senses.
"Ah, no, I'm just a little dazed."
Su Yao turned around and walked towards the unfamiliar bathroom.
Haven't seen anything yet.
It is a spacious living room, with a piano placed in the south-facing corner. Various photos are hung behind the TV.
There was a photo taken of myself and You Ye at a tourist attraction.
Restaurant.
Where to perform.
Or receive the award on some stage.
A photo taken with someone I don't know but looks awesome.
Further down is——
Wedding photos.
He was wearing a straight and upright suit, and he was holding Yu Ye, who was wearing a pure white wedding dress. Both of them were smiling very happily.
There are seaside ones, church ones, and even Chinese red styles. There are too many.
Next to them were two more children.
One on the left and one on the right holding his and Youye's hands.
child?
what is going on?
My head started to feel swollen and dizzy.
Su Yao even suspected that this was a dream.
"flutter--"
But when he turned on the faucet, the cold water hit his face. The bone-chilling chill made Su Yao wake up immediately.
This doesn't seem to be a dream.
Open the toilet.
It's very clean, and it looks like someone cleans it regularly. You can smell the scent of toilet cleaner.
Put the roll paper aside appropriately.
The shower head is hung on the bracket. Shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, etc. are all available. The bathtub is placed there. The floor is also clean.
There are towels neatly placed on the rack behind you.
Some of them are for adults.
There were several towels hanging underneath with cute cartoon patterns printed on them that were obviously half the size. They looked like they were for children.
Open the storage cabinet next to the sink, and there are toothbrushes and mugs inside. The same is true, with pink and white mugs nestled against each other.
Below are two cups one size smaller with cartoon patterns printed on them.
Toothpaste also comes in a separate children's toothpaste.
"Husband? Are you okay yet?"
There was a sound coming from outside.
No matter how many times Su Yao heard this strange name, he still felt uncomfortable.
There is no doubt that this is indeed Youye's voice.
But if you listen carefully now, you will find that the sound is actually more mature than in memory.
"alright."
Su Yao wrung out the towel and put it back in place. She looked at herself in the mirror again.
Although the beard is cleanly shaved, the color is obviously green and black that only people over 30 years old have. Stroking the remaining beard, it is obvious that it is not the beard that a young person should have.
The same goes for the face.
Although I'm still myself, I look a lot older. I don't say I'm tired, but I definitely don't look as young and energetic as I did 'yesterday'.
The silver ring shines inexplicably in the mirror.
"Crack."
After leaving the bathroom, the two children had already started drinking milk.
"Dad is so slow, the poached eggs are already cold."
"I want to eat steak..."
On the sofa not far from them were two schoolbags and a briefcase, side by side.
"Is it uncomfortable?"
Youye peered with worried eyes, while the tail behind her swayed.
"No, that..."
"Mom, I can do this little thing well! Let me try it!"
Just as Su Yao was about to speak, the little boy suddenly ran over excitedly, and a short tail emerged from his back.
"snort."
"Suck~"
Only the little girl bit her straw unhappyly, "Why are daddy and I the only ones without tails? When will they grow back?"
"It's okay, it's okay. As I said, I just woke up and was a little dazed."
Su Yao avoided two people who wanted to touch his tail and walked over on his own.
Apparently he had reserved a seat for himself.
There are a total of six seats around the dining table, with two children on the opposite side, and the chair next to Youye has been pulled out in advance. There is hot food on the table.
"Dad is so weird."
The little boy sat back and ate with relish.
Bacon, fried eggs, milk.
Are you wearing the uniform of which school? If you look carefully——
Dongshi private elementary school?
It was snowing outside the window, but it was warm inside even though I was only wearing a shirt. The heater was probably on.
"I'm stuffed!"
"Go outside and wait for dad first!"
The little boy wolfed down the last bit, picked up his schoolbag and rushed out.
"Brother, wait for me!"
My sister drank the milk and followed her out.
"Big brother."
A soft voice sounded in my ears again, "You always feel a little absent-minded?"
"?"
Before she could regain her senses, soft lips had already pressed on her.
Then the petite body leaned against his shoulder.
"Is it because Youye was just thinking about giving his eldest brother the qualifications to enter the school as a teacher, and made too much noise, but instead put too much pressure on him?"
"If that's the case, then should eldest brother consider changing places or industries?"
“···”
Su Yao looked at her.
She is wearing a pink apron with cat paws printed on the pockets. It is a petite apron that suits her very well.
And as I observed, I discovered something else.
The panda, which was originally very small, seems to have grown a little bigger now. It is about as high as a toothpaste cap and has a bulge.
"Brother, stop staring at Youye Panda all the time."
"I originally thought it would always be that small."
"affim···"
"It's all because of fighting for babies, that's all. Speaking of which, human pandas really get bigger due to lactation."
He said words that Su Yao didn't quite understand.
Su Yao remained silent and turned his gaze back to focus on eating.
"Big brother?"
"If you really feel uncomfortable, Youye can ask for leave for your elder brother, or you can take a substitute class."
"Need not."
Su Yao waved his hand, paused and asked, "Do you call me big brother when the child is away?"
"Um?"
You Ye put on a very confused expression and bit her lip lightly, "Didn't that mean Big Brother said that he prefers being called Big Brother by You Ye than his husband?"
"In fact, Oguri and Ozawa were created because Yuye tried to use different voices to call him big brother. Hehe."
"Pfft. Cough."
"?"
"No, it's okay."
Su Yao hurriedly finished eating.
I also followed the example of the two children just now and picked up the bag placed on the sofa.
"I'm going out too."
"Big brother, have you forgotten something?"
"?"
Su Yao turned around and saw You Ye standing behind him. He closed his eyes.
That couldn't be more clear.
Even though I really can't understand the situation, the feeling conveyed is so innocent.
"Brother, be careful on the road."
Just taste it briefly.
Youye still stood there stiffly, wearing pure white socks that reached her ankles. With her hands behind her back, she smiled slightly.
Really like a real wife.
Even Su Yao couldn't help but his heart beat faster, so he put on his shoes and walked out quickly.
"Brother, the car keys are not taken away."
"Ah, I'm sorry, I was really sleepy."
Go back and get the car keys again. This time Youye also gently gave Su Yao a knitted scarf of the same style as hers. But the color was black.
It's really cold outside.
Snow fell on clothes and hair.
The wind blows like a knife.
Where is this?
A community I have never seen before.
But it was similar to the layout that Youye's father left her in the past, a separate small villa. There was a parking shed covered with greenery next to the house.
There are two cars parked inside.
One is a not too high-profile Maserati with a fork raised.
The other car is a completely low-key black SUV. I don’t know what brand it is, but it looks a bit like the Volvo logo.
The remote control probably unlocked the car in advance, and the two children were already sitting in the back seat.
Su Yao no longer needs to think that the car is his.
The air conditioner in the car was also warm because it was turned on in advance.
“···”
Su Yao sat in the driver's seat, dazed for a moment.
If this is not a dream.
The two children in the back seat that I spied on looked like they were his and Youye's children.
Own?
teacher?
Is this my and Youye’s home?
future?
"Dad, let's go! If you don't go, you'll really be late!"
The little boy urged from behind.
"I always think dad is so stupid today, so cute."
"Xiao Li doesn't want to go to school anymore. Dad, let's sleep in the car together... I'm sleepy."
"You guy, if you continue to sleep like this, you will turn into a worm!"
"Xiao Li won't become a bug, my brother is a bug!"
“···”
What's going on?
Su Yao took out his phone and tried to find clues in it as if he were in a new world for the first time.
Yes.
The routes to home and company seem to be recorded on the map.
Why don't you just go back and explain everything to Youye?
That's not a big deal.
But Su Yao thought that there were some things that he could only confirm by himself, and he shouldn't go to You Ye.
"Stop making trouble and sit down."
Therefore, I had to act like a parent to shut up the two children.
"Buzz——"
The car trembled, shaking off snowflakes, and got out of the carport.
The radio is probably set in advance and turns on automatically as soon as the car is started.
"It's 7:30 on December 20, 2025, Kyoto time."
"The weather dropped again today, reaching minus 6 degrees. Citizens should pay attention to snow and puddles when going out..."
2025?
Before Su Yao had time to fully understand, the radio station continued to broadcast.
"This morning's news."
"After Xia Liangzhen, the former largest shareholder of the Xia Group and known as the female Buffett in the investment industry, retired, her daughter Xia Xianyue took over."
"Ms. Xia Liangzhen donated money to establish more than 100 hope primary schools in five years, and was nominated as the next winter city council representative..."
