The light of the rising sun was as soft as a light veil, gently sprinkled on the girl's face, awakening her from her sweet dreams.

"Sister-sister-"

A mischievous cry echoed in the bedroom, and the girl immediately rolled to the side of the bed, but it happened to roll into the arms of her long-waiting sister.

"Uh-huh, why are you here, don't you usually come from there?" the girl snapped open her eyes and cried out.

"Because our hearts are connected!"

Breaking free from her sister's restraints, the girl gritted her teeth, snorted indignantly, and fell down again.

"Get up, sister. The younger sister shook her sister's body.

"Don't! Let me sleep for a while......"

Before the words fell, my sister sat on my sister's body and grabbed my sister's waist with both hands. At that moment, my sister immediately confessed and struggled to get up.

Seeing her sister's lazy appearance, her sister began to call the shots again.

"Hurry up, sister, I'll give you a minute. ”

"Eh, a minute, not ......"

"Start the timer!"

"Wait...... Hey, I'm ...... Oops......"

The lazy morning was disturbed like this, and my sister raced against time to change her clothes, and even the buttons were still loose when she ran to the living room.

My sister is very afraid of her sister's "punishment" for her, and that "punishment" is "worse than death" for her - that "punishment" is tickling. Yes, my sister is particularly afraid of itching, but in reality she can fight back, just she won't do that.

"Xiaoqin...... How the hell do you know......"

After washing and arranging the clothes, my sister was the last to sit at the table. A wave of doubts came to her mind, just as she wanted to talk to her sister, so her sister asked.

"Sleeping position. My sister replied lightly.

"Huh?"

"This morning it was obvious that my sister woke up and pretended to be asleep, and usually my sister was curled up like a kitten in her sleeping position, and sometimes she bit her fingers. My sister said with a wicked smile, "Hehe, and ...... drooling."

The conversation between the two suddenly disappeared, and the mother on the side looked over curiously to find that the sister was using her own fork to fork a piece of quiche into her sister's mouth, trying to gagged her.

It seems that the elder sister is listening to her sister's words, and the more she feels that something is wrong, when she hears that she is about to say something that will make her ashamed, the panicked sister immediately stuffs the quiche she wants to eat into her sister's mouth.

Mom chuckled quietly, then immediately turned her head back before her sister noticed.

Mornings, as usual, were made joyful because of the sisters. In the happy laughter of her sister, her sister buried her head in her breakfast with an "unhappy" face.

Perhaps, although my sister always behaves upset, in fact, in my sister's heart, she has been praying that this morning can continue forever......

The sun awakens the vitality of the world, and the pedestrians and vehicles merge into mountains and seas, sometimes pausing and sometimes flowing.

Ragged beggars kneel at the corners of the alleys, attracting people's attention and making people reluctant to look at them directly.

The city is called Black Lake, which was originally called Blue Lake City, and was built around a large scenic lake, slowly expanding from a small town to a metropolis.

It is an endorheic lake that is getting filthy day by day due to endless industrial pollution, and although the water has not reached the point of blackness, it is still almost impossible to get water.

When people learned of this, many people began to leave the city, and some even broke their jars, and continued to work in high-polluting and high-income industries.

For a time, the metropolis, with its beautiful scenery and bustling crowds, turned into a half-dead city. A large number of indigenous people learned of this, and people from other cities tried to purify the lake, and after decades of hard work, its water quality was up to standard.

Finally, people came back one after another, but the Blue Lagoon never came back. To commemorate this mistake, the city was renamed Black Lake.

When it comes to the architecture of the city, it is also amazing, and you can even see the times changing from the periphery of the city to the center.

On the outermost part of the city are the hunter's huts, followed by the farmhouses, the old thatched houses and stone brick walls that are their hallmark. This was followed by the red-brick buildings of the old era, which were basically bungalows.

Then there are the row houses, the rows of rusted iron railings and tattered wooden doors and windows show a strong nostalgia, they have long been eliminated, thrown to the edge of history, the corner of time. And the people who live in that area are generally some old people, who think about those good memories all day long.

Further on, gradually, high-rise buildings began to appear, subways, high-speed rail, buses, everything that people knew was there.

If you stop here and look back, everything you pass through seems to be a tunnel of time. It connects the changes of history and witnesses the passage of time, which is shocking and sad.

On the crowded street, a white figure sprang out of the crowd and slipped into an alley.

"What...... Are they already here......"

Nangong Yu ran out of the house that made her spine hairy and hid in the alley to rest.

A few minutes ago, the moment she opened the door, she felt someone grab her shoulder, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to look back, just opened the door and ran out.

She didn't seem to notice that the person who grabbed her shoulder saw her running away without even closing the door in a panic, and the whole person was stunned and sneered helplessly. If it were someone else, he would have turned his head to see who it was, but Nangong Yu didn't even have the courage to take a look.

"It's rude, so I'll say hello to you and take a look back. ”

A voice suddenly sounded from behind Nangong Yu, and her brain was instantly chaotic, as if she couldn't separate the silk threads that were twisted into a ball and simply gave up, she directly gave up thinking and strode forward a few steps.

However, she only ran those few steps and immediately stopped.

She finally mustered up her courage and looked back at the figure behind her.

"Hey—" The man raised his hand a little mischievously and greeted her.

It was a girl who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, at least 1.6 to 1.7 meters tall, with long, dyed slightly pale blue black hair, wearing a loose off-the-shoulder outfit and denim shorts.

Nangong Yu suddenly had no idea of escaping, but had the urge to rush up and knock her on the head, but in the end she held back and just smirked stupidly.

"You're still so cute, we've been looking for you for a long time, but luckily they found you one step ahead of them, sure enough, our hearts are connected, right?" said the girl confidently, crossing her arms.

"Get out~" Nangong Yu still smirked and slowly raised his middle finger. She has an offensive middle finger, but she doesn't feel annoying at all. Perhaps it was because she had just been frightened, her slightly narrowed eyes seemed to reflect tears, and with this fake smile, the girl couldn't help but laugh even more.

"Hehe, it's only been a long time since you've seen me, and you're so estranged from me...... Anyway, we've washed it together......"

"Shut up, don't give me orange in orange, I'm not in the mood to play this with you right now!"

"If you don't want to play with me, then I'll play with you~"

"Hey, ......"

Nangong Yu's face suddenly turned red, and he picked up a stone and threw it at her, while she smiled and hugged her head to defend.

After laughing for a while, Nangong Yu's face became gloomy again, and the joy that had just lasted for a few seconds suddenly vanished. The girl had expected this scene, she just didn't want this situation to happen, so she wanted to tease Nangong Yu.

"Okay, okay, I know how you feel. The girl became much quieter, "Really, why do you think about those things? If you think too much, you will suffer in vain, wouldn't it be nice to do that just now?" if I remember correctly, you said that your sister often talked to you like that. ”

The girl couldn't help but laugh, however, Nangong Yu seemed to have an invisible barrier around her, and her joy couldn't infect Nangong Yu again at all.

"Sister ......"

"Light rain. The girl pondered for a few seconds, "Actually, you can think of it this way, if your sister actually went back, she is no longer in that city, then you don't have to do this anymore." ”

"Even if that's it...... And what about those people? They did die, and they were innocent......

After hearing this, the girl slapped her head sharply, gritted her teeth and took a deep breath, and there was no movement. After half a minute, she was a little excited.

"You don't have a ...... at all" Before she finished speaking, the girl's voice stopped abruptly and changed to a very gentle tone, "Did the bookstore owner also say something to you, and I will learn from his words to tell you - a little bit of kindness is better than endless self-blame, I hope you can figure it out." ”

The girl turned around and left, but Nangong Yu stopped her: "How do you know...... What the bookstore owner said to me ......"

After a moment of silence, the girl smiled mischievously again, and replied energetically:

"Because I've always been there for you. ”

The breath of loneliness breaks into the bustling city, bringing a touch of sadness. After the girl left, Nangong Yu blended into the crowd again and walked aimlessly with the flow of people.

Maybe even she doesn't know what she can get by doing this, and what is the point.

Suddenly, at a crowded intersection, the lonely figure of a boy flickered through the gap in the crowd and caught her attention.

The owner of the bookstore had already given her some money, just enough for a lunch, and maybe dinner if she saved some money, but she didn't seem to have that idea.

She went to a nearby shop to buy two large meat buns, and after receiving the buns from the indifferent boss, she walked up to the boy, bent down slightly and smiled as she handed out the buns.

The boy took the bun suspiciously, and did not hesitate to let his guard down when he learned of her intention.

He was not as difficult to approach as he thought, on the contrary, the boy was very lively. However, he seemed to be confused and did not know a lot about the place, and she knew that the boy must be "new". But that would be fine, at least she could talk to him before he knew about it.

"Anyway...... Lady, where the hell is this? I've traveled to another world?" the boy asked suddenly.

This question makes Nangong Yu a little difficult to explain, because although this is barely a crossing, it is definitely not a magical development of crossing to another world and becoming a brave or something.

"Ah...... It's barely ......" Nangong Yu replied with some embarrassment.

Suddenly, the boy became a little excited.

"Will there be magic, will there be demons?"

"Ah......h......h No...... This world ...... Everybody can come, and everybody shouldn't...... You can't stay in this world for too long because it will cause you great harm. ”

"What harm?"

In a trance, the figure of a short-haired girl appeared in Nangong Yu's mind.

Her actions are as cute as a kitten, and her words are as charming as angels. She snuggled in Nangong Yu's arms, happily as if she was about to melt, and never separated from "I love you".

"It will allow you to see what you want to see, what has been lost, but it may ruthlessly separate you. It's close at hand, but you can't touch it at all, it's really painful......"

Nangong Yu thought that the boy would be puzzled, or a little disgusted or sad because of her negative speech, but she received a completely unexpected reply.

"Not really!" the boy suddenly became very serious, and the whole person stood up, "The teacher and the parents have told me that there is no need to grieve for what has been lost. Instead, let him be your motivation to keep going, not a stumbling block in your way. If you are lucky enough to see them again, then you should be happy and have the confidence to go on, instead of feeling sad that you are about to lose ...... again."

The boy's voice stopped abruptly, stunned for a moment, and he continued, "Uh...... That one...... Do you know what I mean...... I don't seem to understand what I'm saying...... This is what my parents and teachers told me when my grandfather left......"

At that moment, the boy's words seemed to turn into a trace of warmth, like the warm sun of early spring shining on the cold ice and snow, bringing her a trace of comfort. But this warmth was not enough to completely melt the ice in her heart, but only brought a glimmer of hope to the heart under the ice.

"Hah...... Well...... I...... I know......" Nangong Yu seemed to understand, like a young apprentice who was receiving a teaching, thinking seriously, and then began to ask cautiously, "Can I ask a question......?"

"Huh?"

"What if...... You go to help some people, but people don't believe you, and they hurt you, and blame you for their peace, then ...... Will you choose to destroy them?"

"This ...... They're going too far, aren't they...... But I only believe that only a small part of those who don't want to believe in me are a small part, and I believe that most of them still support me, but their voices are too small. It is impossible to destroy them, and I am only willing to continue to help them prove myself. ”

After hearing these words, Nangong Yu was stunned, and tears suddenly slipped down his face with a frozen smile. At that moment, it was as if countless sharp blades had cut through her heart, making her painful and uneasy.

She seemed to be about to say something, desperate to shout something, but her mouth seemed to be sealed by an invisible needle and thread, and she could only let out a helpless and desperate whimper.

The boy was frightened, and he wondered if he had said something wrong, so he asked tentatively.

"That man...... It won't be ......"

"It's not...... No...... I...... I'm also ...... ...... harm" Nangong Yu hesitated, she never thought that it would be so difficult to say that word.

The boy wanted to say something, but Nangong Yu stood up first, turned his back to him and prepared to leave.

"Excuse me...... I...... I'll go first...... Hopefully, you can get back to where you belong soon. ”

As soon as the words fell, the white-haired girl once again slipped into the crowd and disappeared into the sea of people.
