The lead-washing pool is sparkling, the glow on the lake is swaying, and the shadows are as old as before.
In this unreal world with no specific year, half reduced to silent hell, and generally still alive, the same time, the same location, the same scenery...
Time was distorted by the illusion of this world, and after the crazy compression of brain memory, He Tianran had an illusion of being in another world.
How long have you been separated from Ai Qing?
Thirty seconds? A month? Three hundred and sixty days? Or a hundred years ago?
Or, just like now, just for a moment of looking at each other, she came to him again...
"He Tianran, you..."
On the surface of the lead-washing pond, the shadows of two people, a man and a woman, were reflected.
The two met here after making a phone call. Cao Aiqing, who came from the School of Architecture, had a frost-like anger on her face when she came. But when she saw the man's face clearly, a trace of anger appeared on her face. Surprise and horror.
Because she saw the white hair on He Tianran's head...
There is also a look of age and fatigue that cannot be hidden in those eyes that should be full of youthful vigor.
"You...what exactly did you do? Did you travel through time again?"
Cao Aiqing kept his face calm and asked coldly.
He Tianran shook his head and put up a smile on his lips, "It's not like we traveled through time..." As he said that, he pointed to the stone chair beside him where they had sat on the day they broke up, and said politely: "Let's... sit down and talk, I I’ll explain it to you slowly.”
The man's state forced the angry girl to calm down. She stared at the man deeply for a moment, without refusing or speaking, she slowly walked over and sat down.
He Tianran could also sit down, but deliberately kept a distance.
"How much do you remember?"
"I remember it all!"
Faced with this problem, Cao Aiqing responded with a straight eyebrow.
"Perhaps I should ask another question..." He Tianran still said in a low and good voice, "You...remembered something again?"
Cao Aiqing was silent when he heard this.
She hadn't seen He Tianran for a long time. The girl had spent two and a half years in college leisurely and orderly. She no longer had the trouble of gossips and joking and dirty looks around her. She no longer had to sensitively guess other people's intentions. .
Her former high school classmates would deliberately avoid her relationship with He Tianran, while her college friends would only mention a band named "INTERESTING" that was born in the university town through casual conversations.
This is one of the few ways she can learn about He Tianran.
Until today, many different memories suddenly appeared in her mind.
"In that bullying, you jumped out to protect me on the spot. We were not together in high school. In my new memory, we became friends and were admitted to the University of Hong Kong together...
Other than that, my life has not been affected much. Are these all what you did after traveling back in time? If you go and ask me to give you time first, and just want to reconcile with me in this way, then I'm sorry He Tianran, I will remember all my memories! "
Cao Aiqing spoke fiercely and seemed to be very dissatisfied with He Tianran traveling back to the past again in an attempt to change the relationship between the two in the future.
After hearing these words, He Tianran seemed to be relieved and showed a relaxed expression.
It seems that the impact of Wen Liang's liberation is not a bad thing for Cao Aiqing.
Since he has not suffered any pranks, he will not instigate others to frame Ai Qing, which is a good thing.
"Is this the only one?" he asked one more question.
Cao Aiqing stared at him cautiously, "What do you want to know?"
He Tianran originally planned to test whether the world in Cao Aiqing's eyes was the same as his own, but the other party was very sensitive to this. Her words on the phone just now could be understood as meaning that she already knew something was wrong with her world, or that she had misunderstood It's okay to think that He Tianran traveled through time and disrupted his life.
After all, it was hard for Cao Aiqing to live the life she wanted and the life she should have. Would it be a little cruel to tell her the truth that this world is hell now?
He Tianran's silence made Cao Aiqing even more vigilant.
"He Tianran, if you don't tell me how the current situation happened, then you can't even think of saying a word to me!"
Unlike Wen Liang, Cao Aiqing remembers all the cause and effect clearly. If she still conceals something at this time, then some things will not only be unreasonable in her mind, but will also arouse resentment and more anger like now. distrust.
The man sighed.
"This... has something to do with Wen Liang."
"She?" Hearing the name, Cao Aiqing paused, but quickly responded: "By the way, that prank didn't happen, and she wasn't with you... You... you avoided having anything to do with her. All connections...how did you do it?"
"I didn't...do anything."
"You went back in time and deliberately avoided her?"
"I didn't go back to the past...and I didn't hide from her..."
Cao Aiqing noticed that something was wrong with He Tianran's mood, and deliberately provoked:
"Wen Liang kept showing off to me how much she loved you at the family banquet, but I didn't expect that you would turn around and abandon her for me. He Tianran, you are really good! It seems that when I gave you time, it was A right choice, you did a good job~"
Cao Aiqing's remarks were completely aimed at He Tianran's vital point. He had just experienced separation, and without even taking a breath, he was treated like this by another important person in his life, the person he had always felt guilty about. Criticize...
He could endure the pain, and he could endure the suffering of the more he loved someone, the further the distance between them became. But facing Cao Aiqing's misunderstanding at this moment, he was really going to collapse...
"I didn't abandon Ah Liang, and I didn't travel through time..."
"Really? Then how do you explain your current situation? If you had told me earlier that you were going to do this, I wouldn't have made things difficult for you in the first place."
"I said...I haven't done anything to feel sorry for you two...I haven't used any tricks to make up for the relationship between you and me..."
"Oh, by the way, I still have a photo of you, Wen Liang, and her parents on my phone. I'm going to look for it... Well, why is it gone? Oh, I forgot about it. You changed it back. Now it must be They’re all gone…”
The words spit out from Cao Aiqing's mouth, turning into a sharp saw. Every time she said a word, she pulled back and forth on He Tianran's tense heartstrings little by little.
Cao Aiqing may be the only one left in this world who has the same memory as him.
However, as a result of working so hard, I got to say something like this...
There was a buzzing sound in the man's ears, and he gradually couldn't hear what the girl was saying.
He only heard one sound——
Boom...
The string that had been holding him back was finally broken...
At this moment, his long-standing grievances and grief filled his heart. His eyes were red, and he could no longer bear it. He stood up and roared loudly:
"I didn't travel through time! I didn't abandon Liang! This world is fucking fake!! I just want you to get out, I want you to leave this hell, what the fuck is wrong with me!!!"
Give Brother Tianran a little star, it’s really not easy for him.
