"Good night."

It was destined to be an extraordinary night.

Not only because tomorrow is December 31st, but also December 31st is nothing special.

Or for the first time - here.

I finally explained this to Aunt Qiao Xin, and now Feng Chime and I are staying alone in the room. Originally, I wanted to stay up all night and stay in the living room, but I was persuaded by Aunt Qiao Xin to go back to the room, at this time, what should I do?

People who have lost their souls - wander aimlessly in this world. Will the changes brought about by this world cause changes in people's hearts? Or is it all meaningless, just crawling like a walking corpse, living in this world? What is "love" in the end, what is told from the heart, step by step, in turn, erodes oneself.

Is this correct? Is there any statute that prohibits me from doing this? Even if you read all the laws of all the countries in the world, from ancient times to the present day, you will not be told 'what' is correct. Ah, even if someone says that 'correct' is only true within a certain range, just as the laws of physics must have a scope of application. Only philosophy can unify and define what is within the reach of the eye, even the invisible and the intangible.

I don't want to brag about philosophy, but when we encounter unsolvable difficulties in reality and life is unsustainable, looking back at philosophy, if it can't solve the problem, at least it is a life salvation.

Nothing that is written will tell you what to do in the future, just as I don't know what I am going to do now.

The wind chimes lay quietly on the bed, and not long ago I changed the sheets to red, which at first glance looked so similar to the wedding room.

Now—it's the silence after the noise. I often wonder what the excited couples will talk about when their parents and friends are gone, and when they are really the only ones left. Is it the same topic as standing in front of the wedding stage? 'I swear to take care of you for the rest of your life-' will such words always hang on their lips?

Or is it just a coping, symbolic phrase. People who keep saying "I do". Is it really the same idea, or is it just a push in front of the stage?

"It's like a dream."

The wind chimes interrupted my thoughts and muttered quietly. But because the air was rather silent, her voice came to my ears clearly.

"Huh?"

"I didn't expect it to be here, and this kind of thing happened."

"Me too. In the past, I only fantasized about this image in my dreams. ”

"In a dream—I recorded it not only in my dreams, but also in my novels."

Wind Chime said slowly.

"Really? Have you ever written a novel? ”

"Well, but it feels more like a diary, a realistic diary."

"That's interesting."

"Does Xiao Xu usually keep a diary - I remember you don't have such a habit."

"Not really, but I'm still interested in writing."

"yes—if you were to write a novel, what would you write?"

"If I write a novel......

What am I interested in?

"I'll ...... Let's write a world where there are no people. ”

"A world without man? A desert island like Robinson's? ”

The wind chimes seemed to have doubts about my description.

"It's not — it's the same modern society as it is now, it's just — there's no one."

"But only humans can create today's society—"

"I know that, so it's [impossible]. It's because it's impossible, that's why I think it's interesting and I want to write about it. ”

"Impossible...... Yes. ”

The wind chimes snuggled up to me, gently rolling up the quilt and shrinking it down my neck into the warm world.

My feet felt like there was nowhere to go, and even though the wind chimes were thin, it was never the same bed for two people to sleep in - inadvertently touching places that shouldn't be touched.

"Impossible...... I don't think anything is impossible. ”

“？”

"At least—when you talk about the idea of [No Man's World], I think of someone...... Anyway, I should say that he must be very suitable to live in that kind of world. ”

"Oh?"

When I heard the wind chimes say that, it was my turn to have questions.

"When I was in elementary school, there was a boy in the same class. It's like he has the superpower to see through other people's emotions. Although he was always deliberately not overt, his deliberate and deliberate silence made me think that he might know a lot. ”

"There is...... Such a person? ”

It made me incredulous.

"He doesn't take the initiative to get along with others, but if you do, he's like a perspective that sees you clearly – and what's even more terrifying, he won't tell you. Occasionally, he was surprised to find that he knew. ”

The wind chimes spoke, shaking his head helplessly, as if he was very afraid of this man.

"I'm scared of the feeling that my emotions are easily detected by others. Eh, you said that now that technology is developing so rapidly, will someone invent a machine in the future that can detect other people's inner emotions and even thoughts? ”

“…… I guess it can't be done. The human mind is the most difficult thing to read, and relying on a machine is like reading a human being, I don't think it can be done. ”

It's strange to say that, because I'm a machine.

"Really? - Isn't there such a thing as [superpowers] in this world? It's just something inconsequential, but at least it's something that the technology of humanity can't explain in the past. In the future, will there be - superpowers beyond imagination. ”

Wind Chime said worriedly, with a melancholy look on her little face.

Hearing her say that, I think...... Are you that unimaginable thing?

Since there is an existence like me, there will definitely be an existence that is more beyond my imagination. This world has always been full of people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, you think the world is the first, but it is just because someone has not spoken out.

"I don't know if I'll have this ability, but if it were me, I would be very reluctant to have this superpower."

"Why?"

"Isn't it tiring to read other people's emotions so that you can live? There are too many gloomy worlds, but we have chosen to ignore a lot, so we can barely boast of living in the sun. If I know about someone else's business, if it happens to be something 'dark' – from my point of view, from the moment I know it, I have an obligation to solve or assist at the same time. ”

“……”

"So, how many things do I have to deal with—how tiring it must be to live like this."

"I think so."

"If that's the case, it's better for me to live in a no-man's world. Without people, it would not be so tiring. ”

“……”

"So I think [he] must be very suitable for life in a no-man's world."

Wind Chimes guessed about other people's things - but it made me a little jealous, I didn't expect her to think so much about a boy in elementary school.

Wind Chimes slowly narrowed her eyes, and she seemed to feel sleepy.

"—I'm a little sleepy."

"Well, me too. - So, why don't you have a good night? ”

"Hmm...... See you tomorrow. But I'd like to stop for a second. ”

"Really?"

"I have a valid reason...... I'm with you......"

She said slowly, and Ran Ran gently closed her eyes.

After a while, the sound of light breathing came.

“……”

In that case, it's time for me to sleep.

I closed my eyes - waiting for the summons of Zhou Gong -

That's weird!

How can you sleep!

For the first time, a girl slept next to me, still so close to me, and with every breath, the strawberry-like aroma licked my nose.

My heart was beating to my throat, and I could hear my heart beating faster.

But - again I had to close my eyes.

I don't know how long it took, my body and brain were already tired, but I never wanted to sleep—I couldn't sleep, I couldn't fit into the world of the sleeping god.

Tick-tock, how long has it been?

After staying up for several hours, I still couldn't fall asleep, and the wind chimes on the side seemed to have completely sunk in, and the wind chimes in my sleep unconsciously hooked my body with my feet from time to time, and clasped my left arm in front of my chest, this warmth made me uneasy, and I could even feel her heartbeat clearly - it was a smooth, happy sound.

“……”

I closed my eyes again—

Anyway, fall asleep too......

Click, click-

Suddenly, I heard the sound of the door opening.

？！

What the?!

This feeling of familiarity?

I opened a slit in my eyes slightly, and saw Liu Xin, who had gently walked into the room and closed the door.

Sure enough, it was her......

Could it be that last night (past 0:00, the night before, to be exact) is going to be repeated?

？？！！

I thought there were wind chimes, and Liu Xin probably wouldn't do it.

Or is this just Liu Xin's sleepwalking?!

No—what should I do?

I encountered an unexpected situation again, and I have never been good at dealing with this kind of thing.

It's simply salted fish on a hot pan.

There are wind chimes in front and willow sins in the back.

This night is destined to be extraordinary.
