26. Chapter 26: Aftermath and Return
When Qing Mengli and Qiu Xuyao sat together in the revolving restaurant at the highest point in the city, and there was a standard couple's dinner between the two, Qing Mengli felt that it seemed that her overt and secret pursuit had played a role during this period of time, and she suddenly felt a little happy in her heart.
Soon, though, she realized that her understanding seemed to be a little skewed.
Qiu Xuyao's attitude was very abnormal.
It's just a dinner, but she looks at her gaze as if she is going to say goodbye forever, and when she speaks, she is gentle and terrible, and she doesn't have the awkward feeling she had some time ago.
She always felt like something was going to happen, and she was a little flustered.
"Xu Yao, aren't you happy to win the award today?"
Qiu Xuyao's expression was obviously in a trance, and then showed a smile that could be understood as happy but more like a relieved smile: "How come, today's award ceremony is the last of this year's award period, how can I, as the biggest winner of this year's award period, not be happy?" ”
"But I always feel like you're preoccupied."
"Hmm, maybe you're too busy and tired during this time? Don't worry, it'll be fine after tonight. ”
Qing Mengli sensed that there was something in her words, but she couldn't guess what she was trying to express in this sentence.
Pulling up the corners of her skirt in a panic, she pursed her lips, intending to strike first.
"Xu Yao, although I think I've done a lot, I've never really said it after all, and now I want to take this opportunity to say to you clearly and formally-"
"You wait!" A trace of panic flashed on Qiu Xuyao's face, and the right hand holding the dinner knife shook, and the sound of metal slicing across the porcelain plate was particularly harsh in the quiet restaurant.
Several displeased glances came towards them from all corners, but they couldn't see the source of the noise because of the obstacles.
The atmosphere between the two of them became solemn because of this noise.
Qiu Xuyao sat there for two seconds, then put down the knife in his hand and stood up: "I'm sorry, I'll go to the bathroom." ”
Qing Mengli knew that she was too sudden, so she nodded: "I'll wait for you to come back." ”
Qiu Xuyao had just taken two steps but suddenly stopped as if she remembered something, and looked back at her with an indescribable look in her eyes.
Being stared at like that, Qing Mengli's heart suddenly gave birth to an indescribable fear, as if something important was about to be lost, so she stood up and looked nervously at the woman opposite: "You...... Will be back, right? ”
"Of course." Qiu Xuyao replied quickly, "Goodbye." With that, he walked quickly in the direction of the bathroom.
"Goodbye?" Qing Mengli repeated the word in a low voice, feeling more and more wrong, but it was not good to chase people to the bathroom, so she could only stand there and wait anxiously.
Three minutes later, Qiu Xuyao came back with a smile on her face.
However, Qing Mengli, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, found that the person sitting in front of her didn't have the feeling she had given herself a few minutes ago, as if her soul had been replaced.
Seeing that she was only staring at herself in a daze, Qiu Xuyao's face involuntarily showed a flush: "Eat, what are you always staring at me for?" ”
Qing Mengli subconsciously answered: "It's beautiful and delicious." ”
In the past, this was just a little verbal adjustment in the daily life of the two, and the person opposite would probably roll his eyes and say back and forth, "You can't really eat it as a meal", and then start a short round of debate.
However, this time, Qiu Xuyao stayed for a second or two, her face turned even redder, and she lowered her head and couldn't wait to bury her face in the dinner plate: "What do you say, how can I look good with you." ”
"Boom!"
The knife in Qing Mengli's hand fell on the plate.
Outside the cubicle, the waiter poked his head in this direction, as if to see if something was going on inside.
"Xu Yao."
"Huh?"
"Are you too tired? I don't feel like I'm in good shape. ”
"No, I'm very happy to have won so many awards, not to mention having you to dinner with me." Qiu Xuyao smiled softly, her eyes curved into a beautiful crescent, and even a little innocent, "This is probably the happiest day I've ever had in more than 20 years." ”
Qing Mengli lowered her eyelids and didn't look at the somewhat dazzling smile, trying to maintain the expression on her face so that the person opposite would not notice her abnormality.
"yes, that's probably because I'm tired, or we'll go back sooner?"
"Good! I asked Turmeric to come and pick us up. ”
"Hmm."
……
Wrong.
Wrong.
Still not right.
What went wrong?
Why is it that someone who is so familiar and likes so much, but now he has become a stranger?
Lying on the bed with Qiu Xuyao in her arms, looking at her satisfied sleeping face, Qing Mengli felt that her whole person was empty.
This is not the Qiu Xuyao she wants, where did her Qiu Xuyao go?
Half-asleep, half-awake, she heard the familiar voice again, and she said, "Goodbye." ”
Good bye......
Qing Mengli woke up from the dream, reached out and touched it, and found that her face was covered with tears, and the person in her arms was still asleep and had not woken up.
She remembered two details that she hadn't paid attention to before.
Qiu Xuyao, whom she likes, once had a period of frenzied writing of all kinds of scripts, and one day when she flipped through one of the printed manuscripts, she unexpectedly found a sentence handwritten with a signature pen on one of the pages: "If you get the movie, you will go back immediately, and if you don't go back, you will starve to death."
At that time, she thought it was just a line that needed to be added to the script, but when she saw it, she didn't care, and quickly turned to the next page.
Now that I think about it, there is no place in that script where this sentence can be added, that is, this sentence is actually written by Qiu Xuyao himself with another meaning.
On the title page of another handwritten script outline, the author's column first wrote a "Yang" and a "mountain" prefix, but they were crossed out, and Qiu Xuyao's name was added later, and all the words were Qiu Xuyao's handwriting, and there was no situation where Zài was written by others.
So the Qiu Xuyao she likes is actually someone surnamed Yang who borrowed Qiu Xuyao's body?
And now she's gone?
So what is she?
What is it?!
Two days later, the new super-first-line actress Qing Mengli suffered an accident at home, suspected of slipping and falling from the third floor while drying clothes on the balcony, and happened to fall on the marble carving downstairs.
Looking at the tombstone standing alone in the cemetery in the image silently, Yang Qinglan felt very heavy.
"Washing machine, why are you showing me this?"
[You asked me what will happen to Qing Mengli after you leave. 】
"So that's what happened in that world after I left?"
[No, that world does not exist in the dimension of the real world you are in, and the subsequent development you just saw is a conclusion reached after my calculations, which is not unique, but only the most likely to happen. 】
"What else is there to do?"
[Yes.] 】
"The best one?"
[All follow-up developments can't be evaluated simply by good or bad, please give me a judging criterion.] 】
"Qing Mengli, what is the best result she has ever had?"
[After being recuperated by a psychiatrist, she completely put aside your influence on her and became a generation of goddesses, the kind that can be recorded in history. 】
“…… That's good. ”
A good thing was said by the washing machine with a bit of a comic atmosphere, which calmed her sad feelings a lot, and her mood was not as low as just now.
[So next, do you choose to return to the real world?] 】
"Return."
