Because he arrived early, Xu Ziran sat in a restaurant box next to the funeral home and waited for a while.

But the mission has not been revoked, and it is clear that the so-called "participation" also has a fixed standard, and it is not just a matter of seeing the hearse.

Xu Ziran was actually not interested in completing this task, but he was pressed by this matter in his heart, and he was inexplicably panicked, so he struggled for a long time, and simply decided to go in to see the situation.

As a result, as soon as I stood up, I received a text message on my phone from an unknown number - unknown number: Why don't you come in? 、

Xu Ziran sat down instead.

Xu Ziran: Who are you?

Unknown number: Qiu Yurou.

Xu Ziran was stunned, what the other party said this time was too simple, and she didn't make a fuss at all, but made her a little unaccustomed to it?

Qiu Yurou who sent a message from an unknown number? I think it should be "that" Qiu Yurou.

She hesitated, and as she walked out, she typed again—you attached it again......

Before the words were finished, another message came from there: Where are you?

Xu Ziran raised his eyebrows.

She obviously sent her location to Qiu Yurou before, although the other party used a new number, but if it was Qiu Yurou's body, she should know where she was.

So she deleted the typed words and re-issued the sentence: I'm in.

Anyway, she was going to go in and have a look.

Xu Ziran is not the first time to come to the funeral home, the older he gets, the more he finds that life and death are just ordinary things, and the people who come and go in the funeral home are often not heartbroken people, but more insensitive and useless spectators.

When he entered the door, Xu Ziran heard a system reminder - [Twenty percent of the task progress has been completed. 】

didn't meet any receptionists, Xu Ziran went in directly, because the place was not big, Xu Ziran didn't walk long before he met a familiar person.

Qiu Yurou's mother, Shen Feiyao, was sitting on a bench in the hallway, chatting with a middle-aged woman about what to eat for lunch.

When Xu Ziran walked closer, Shen Feiyao happened to raise his head, his expression was stunned, and he didn't speak.

Xu Ziran looked at her, unsure whether she wanted to say hello or not.

But in the next second, she knew what she should do, because Shen Feiyao lowered her head casually and continued to chat with the person next to her, so Xu Ziran also pretended not to squint and walked over directly.

- [Thirty percent of the mission progress has been completed.] 】

There was a bunch of people standing in front of him, probably relatives of Bai Yuge, chatting.

One asked, "How long will it take?" ”

One person replied: "It's estimated that it's fast, and the dish is ready, and everyone can eat it when they go back." ”

Another said, "How is the money calculated?" ”

Soon one person answered......

Xu Ziran secretly thought: It's really strange, how much people like to eat, speaking of which, it's all about this matter.

She looked in the group of people, but didn't see Qiu Yurou, and was thinking about whether to call and ask where Qiu Yurou was now, when she heard someone in the crowd say, "Why did that girl from the Liu family come here?" ”

Xu Ziran paused.

"Say they're good friends."

"That's not what I've heard......"

"How?"

"Say yes...... That kind of relationship? ”

"What's the relationship?"

"The kind between men and women."

"Damn it, those two are ......"

"There's a lot of little girls playing with this now."

Xu Ziran's expression was calm, he coughed beside him, and interjected: "Hello, I want to ask something." ”

All eyes were on her.

Xu Ziran was unusually calm: "I'm Liu Yizhen's friend, I came to find her, where is she?" ”

It dawned on the crowd, and one of them pointed out a direction: "She's going that way." ”

Xu Ziran smiled and thanked him, turned around and walked in that direction, and the moment he turned around, his smile turned solemn.

Liu Yizhen is really here.

Well, the "error code" did not lie to her, nor did it give the wrong information, and what the other party said was very credible.

Xu Ziran walked along the corridor for a while, and then saw a small door, the small door opened a crack, and the sound outside could be heard faintly.

Xu Ziran stepped forward and saw a small garden and a small pavilion through the crack in the door, and at the same time saw the people sitting in the pavilion.

She was amazed.

Because in addition to Qiu Yurou and Liu Yizhen in the pavilion, there is actually Yao Jinling.

The distance is still a little far, Xu Ziran can't hear their conversation, or the three of them didn't say anything in the first place, Liu Yizhen and Qiu Yurou seem to be playing chess, and Yao Jinling is playing with her mobile phone with her head down.

Xu Ziran was thinking about whether to go out directly, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated again, Xu Ziran took out his mobile phone, and saw a text message from an unknown number again-

Unknown number: Ten minutes to go.

Xu Ziran looked at Qiu Yurou, who was concentrating on playing chess outside, and thought to herself, this message really wasn't sent by her.

At the same time, she twisted her eyebrows and thought about it, not understanding what it meant.

So she replied: What do you mean? What happens if it doesn't arrive in 10 minutes?

Unknown number: There are still ten minutes left for the cremation to end, and Liu Yizhen can't lose.

Xu Ziran: Why can't you lose?

Unknown number: Looks like you've arrived.

Xu Ziran was dumbfounded.

The other party inevitably knew her too well, and asked her to disarm and surrender in one sentence.

She smiled bitterly, and was about to put away her phone and push the door out, when she saw a new text message-

Unknown number: Stalling time, interrupting the game.

Xu Ziran thought thoughtfully and pushed the door out.

The old door made a noise as it was pushed, and all three people not far away looked up.

Qiu Yurou looked surprised, but quickly stood up and walked over to greet her.

Xu Ziran put almost all his attention on Qiu Yurou, so he immediately determined that the other party was still his own Qiu Yurou.

So how exactly did the "unknown number" come about?

While holding Qiu Yurou's hand that came over, Xu Ziran also observed the other people present, Liu Yizhen glanced up at her and quickly looked down at the chess game, while Yao Jinling continued to look down at the phone.

Qiu Yurou said in a low voice: "Did you wait too long?" ”

"That's not the problem, it's okay to come in, right?"

"What's the relationship, other people don't necessarily have a close relationship."

Xu Ziran and Qiu Yurou walked to the pavilion together, Xu Ziran glanced at the round table in the middle and found that they were playing chess.

Xu Ziran only roughly understood the rules of chess, and said that he would be reluctant, but because he wanted to delay time, he still said: "How do you play chess?" ”

Without waiting for Qiu Yurou to answer, Liu Yizhen said lazily: "It's boring, I don't have anything to do anyway." ”

While saying this, Liu Yizhen set his eyes on Qiu Yurou.

Qiu Yurou wanted to speak and stopped, but finally didn't speak, and pulled Xu Ziran to sit down.

Xu Ziran looked at Qiu Yurou's appearance and knew that there was an inside story about this matter, but the other party covered it up like this, so she didn't ask, and after sitting on the stool, she went to say hello to Yao Jinling on the side.

"Teacher Yao, I didn't expect you to be here."

Yao Jinling glanced up at her.

Xu Ziran's heart jumped, and he quickly shook his head in his heart and secretly wondered if he had been stimulated recently, and no matter how he saw anyone, he felt that something was wrong.

Yao Jinling replied: "I came here by accident and wanted to see the chess game." ”

Because Xu Ziran grabbed Qiu Yurou's hand used to play chess, Qiu Yurou twitched it and didn't pull it out, so she said, "Cumin, you let go of your hand first." ”

Xu Ziran let go, but didn't let the two continue to play chess, but asked, "How long have you stayed here?" When will it end? ”

Liu Yizhen slapped the table impatiently: "Do you have a tutor, don't you know how to sit quietly on the side in this situation?" ”

When she said this, no one responded, and the other three people present only looked at her, watched quietly for a moment, and then continued to speak.

Qiu Yu said, "There are probably a few more minutes." ”

Saying this, she looked at her watch and said in surprise, "It's going to be gone in six or seven minutes." ”

Liu Yizhen said: "Then hurry up." ”

Qiu Yurou focused on her spirit and continued to play chess.

Xu Ziran secretly scolded himself in his heart for being too stupid, at this time, how could he remind them of the time.

Xu Ziran held the bag in his arms, thinking about countermeasures, thinking about it, and remembering when he was a child, he pretended to be sick in order to skip class.

Although even teachers sometimes suspect that this kind of thing is fake, because it is difficult to verify, it is generally tried and tested.

Thinking so, Xu Ziran lowered his head and held his breath and frowned.

She held back for a while, and when she saw that no one noticed her abnormality, she simply pulled down Yao Jinling's clothes next to her.

Yao Jinling still didn't move.

Xu Ziran raised her head and was about to remind Yao Jinling to take a look at herself, but she saw that the other party was looking at her, her eyes barely blinking.

The honey-colored pupils are like honey, almost sweet in the bright sun.

After a while, Yao Jinling spoke: "Are you uncomfortable?" ”

The voice was particularly calm, not at all surprised.

When Qiu Yurou heard this, she suddenly jumped out of her concentration on playing chess and looked at Xu Ziran.

Xu Ziran also looked at her.

Qiu Yurou was still a little worried, but she looked at it, but she became confused, and said, "Cumin, you-stomach ache?" ”

Obviously, there is an essential difference between Qiu Yurou and the teacher, that is, the teacher really can't see if you are really uncomfortable, but Qiu Yurou can see it.

Xu Ziran stubbornly said, "...... Probably, it could be menstrual cramps. ”

Of course, Qiu Yurou knew Xu Ziran's cycle, so she immediately guessed that the other party was lying, but after guessing, she no longer questioned it, but said, "I'll take you back to rest for a while." ”

Xu Ziran pretended to be in pain: "No, I'll just rest on the side." ”

"That's not good, how can this kind of thing be endured in the past......"

The two of you said a word to me, and after talking nonsense for a long time, Liu Yizhen finally couldn't stand it anymore: "...... If you continue like this, you will lose. ”

Yao Jinling said on the side: "There is no reason for this, I am a notary." ”

Liu Yizhen sneered: "That's because she's procrastinating, and she can't tell the winner." ”

Yao Jinling said: "You can pause the chess game and talk about it next time you have a chance." ”

Liu Yizhen wanted to say something again, but the phone rang.

There are two mobile phones ringing, one is Liu Yizhen, and the other is Qiu Yurou.

The two picked up the phone, only said a few words and hung up.

Qiu Yu said softly: "The cremation is over, we are leaving." ”

Liu Yizhen didn't speak, only showed unwillingness in his expression, and turned to leave.

The small door not far away was opened, and Shen Feiyao stood there and shouted, "Let's go." ”

Qiu Yurou looked at Xu Ziran: "Why don't I go back with you?" ”

Xu Ziran looked at the [task completed by fifty percent] on the system and said, "No need, I'm on the side, and I won't disturb you." ”

Having said this, Qiu Yurou didn't say much, because Shen Feiyao was urging too hard, so she left first, leaving Xu Ziran and Yao Jinling to pack up the chessboard.

The sunlight shone in obliquely, shining on the fingers of the two of them to clean up the chess pieces, Xu Ziran watched Yao Jinling's movements, and said, "How did you do it." ”

Yao Jinling pointed his fingers and smiled: "You found out." ”

"How could you not find out, you didn't hide it at all."

"It's not that I don't hide it, it's hard to pretend to be another person."

Xu Ziran felt a little weird, it was originally a sci-fi thing from the future, but now it seems to be more supernatural: "You have Yao Jinling's body, does she know?" ”

Yao Jinling looked at Xu Ziran: "She knows that she agreed to this matter." ”

Xu Ziran couldn't cry or laugh: "Can you still agree to this?" Sign the contract. ”

Yao Jinling nodded: "That's the case, everything has a price, living in the present, and going back to the past." ”

Xu Ziran chuckled in his heart: "What price?" ”

"Yao Jinling" said: "Change the future." ”

Xu Ziran smacked in his heart, thinking about what price this was, and said, "Then are you also changing the future now?" ”

The other party did not answer, put away the chess pieces neatly, and after closing the lid, he said coldly: "What kind of future do you want?" ”

Although Xu Ziran didn't know why the other party asked this, he still replied: "I don't know if it's a bit hypocritical to say this, but I still hope that everyone, at least the people I know, can be happier." ”

I hope that the people I love and the people who love me will be happy and happy - in fact, this is Xu Ziran's wish all along.

"That's so......" the other seemed to sigh.

"Yes, maybe it's selfish, so that I can be happier."

After these words came out, Xu Ziran felt very sour, so he asked: "Then what kind of future do you hope for?" ”

Xu Ziran asked this question, naturally with a purpose, that is, she hoped that the other party could tell her specific plans and goals, otherwise she would always appear like this from time to time, and Xu Ziran was really confused.

She looked at the other person's face and observed the other person's expression.

However, the other party's expression was nothing special, and he blurted out as if he didn't even think about anything.

"I want the future – you can be happy," she said. ”
