Chapter 80: The Return
I came to realize that whatever I was thinking about now was useless, because I could say nothing about her. And it is impossible to determine whether the person who communicated with her in the dream is true or not.
Alas, one step at a time is one step.
The four of us stayed in our respective rooms for almost an hour, and by half-past five I was out of the room. When I came to the second floor, I found that I was the first to arrive, and I felt a little empty in my heart when I looked at such a quiet living room.
After sitting on the sofa alone for a while, Xia Mengyou walked down from the third floor.
"It's pretty punctual." Xia Mengyou looked at me and smiled.
"Okay." I stood up, "Go cook, shall you?" ”
"Let's go." Xia Mengyou didn't come to the living room, and walked straight down the first floor, and I followed.
In the past few dozen minutes in the kitchen, the relationship between me and Xia Mengyou seems to have returned to the same month, and we are just chatting and cooking.
After about half an hour, dinner was done.
"I'll go up and call them." I said to Xia Mengyou, and then ran upstairs.
came to the third floor and stood at the door of Yun Feiyu's room.
MD, every time you call me, this time I'll call you. I thought about it and knocked on the door and shouted, "Yun Feiyu? ”
"What for?" Yun Feiyu's voice also came from the room.
"It's time to eat."
"Here we are."
"What about Ye Fenglan?"
"Here."
"Oh, hurry up." With that, I went downstairs. Listening to his tone, it was quite calm, and nothing special seemed to have happened.
I don't know why, maybe it was the calm before the rainstorm, but the meal was very quiet, and even so quiet that I felt a little uncomfortable. It's just a few simple words, but it's all something that doesn't.
Four people, each with their own hearts and ideas.
The meal ended in the same way, Yun Feiyu and Ye Fenglan stayed on the first floor to wash the dishes, and Xia Mengyou and I returned to the second floor.
Once again, we turned on the screen.
"Xia Mengyou" and "Ye Fenglan" were eating dinner outside, "Yun Feiyu" looked like he was just sitting in the bedroom looking at his phone, and that "me" looked like he had just woken up.
The two of us watched in silence for a while, and soon after "I" walked out of the house, apparently going to dinner.
We watched him walk alone from his home to the downtown square, and then worked alone on a bench in the square for a while before gearing up for dinner.
At this time, Yun Feiyu and Ye Fenglan also finished washing the dishes and walked up to the second floor.
"How's it going?" Yun Feiyu asked, looking at the screen.
"It's not a big deal, it's all normal." I replied.
"Oh." Yun Feiyu answered and sat on the sofa with Ye Fenglan.
After a while, "Yun Feiyu", who had already finished eating at home, called "Liu Yaoxi". They met again at the same restaurant where they had lunch, and it seemed that they were going to talk about something important.
On the other side, "Xia Mengyou" and "Ye Fenglan" also finished dinner and decided to temporarily separate and meet in the downtown square at ten o'clock. As soon as he turned his head, "Xia Mengyou" also dialed the phone number of "Liu Yaoxi". Although she said that she had something to say, I could still see that the reason why she wanted to see "Liu Yaoxi" more still accounted for the vast majority.
Putting down the phone, the "me" walked directly into the restaurant, ordered food, and ate.
We weren't really interested in watching him eat, so we turned our attention to the others.
"Yun Feiyu" just said to his parents, and it was easy to go out, and now he is on the bus; "Ye Fenglan" is just walking aimlessly on the street, as if she is thinking about something, but she seems to be just in a daze; After "Xia Mengyou" and "Ye Fenglan" separated, they walked directly towards the central square.
"Seeing them like this, I feel a little distressed." Yun Feiyu pursed his lips and said suddenly.
"Who isn't?" Ye Fenglan sighed and said.
"If you have this time, feel sorry for us a lot." I smiled wryly and said, "Our situation is no better than theirs, and we are also victims." ”
"If you want to blame it, blame us for 70 years." Xia Mengyou sat on the sofa and looked down at her slightly raised legs and said.
"Ugh." We all seemed to sigh at the same time.
After a while, "I" also settled dinner, and "Yun Feiyu" also arrived at the hotel.
It can also be heard from the content of their exchange, and they have also guessed the reason why the two girls suddenly agreed. Actually, this is also expected by me, and the reason is actually not difficult to guess.
They just chatted a few more words, compared the messages they received, and quickly ended the meeting. After these two people separated, "Liu Yaoxi" also walked straight to the square; And "Yun Feiyu" received a call from "Ye Fenglan".
These two "couples" also have a tacit understanding, and the general content of the exchange is almost the same: after checking the information they received to meet in the central square at ten o'clock in the evening, the reason why the two girls suddenly agreed. Speaking of which, our attitude is clearly the same as that of the other four, disgusted and even angry at this method.
Until now, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
"There are two hours left." I reported after reading the time.
"It's long and it's long, and it's short." Ye Fenglan responded.
Then they began the life of an ordinary young couple: shopping; Walk. After all, we are about to experience this kind of thing, and we should be more mentally prepared, feel more things that we have not felt before, and remember something that is unforgettable.
It's just a pity that the four of us didn't have so much so-called "preparation time" when we came.
"Come on." Yun Feiyu said while munching on melon seeds, obviously losing interest.
"There's still more than an hour, don't panic." I don't know when, I also knocked melon seeds.
"Since there's nothing to do and it's boring right now, let's go see the place we've crossed first." Xia Mengyou suddenly proposed.
"This can be there." Ye Fenglan suddenly became energetic.
"Yes, get acquainted." Yun Feiyu had already stood up.
"Let's go." I also agreed.
We did as the man behind the scenes had told us to come to the end of the hallway.
"Didn't he say there was a button? Where? Yun Feiyu stood at the front, looking around and asked.
"It's not like it's time to stop that button from appearing, right?" Xia Mengyou guessed.
"Is it so strict?" Ye Fenglan also said while looking for it.
I didn't speak, I just looked around.
"Hey! Is this it? Yun Feiyu suddenly shouted, and then squatted down. Since this corridor is still relatively narrow, the four people standing at the end of this corridor are still a little crowded.
"What? Let me see. Ye Fenglan walked to Yun Feiyu's side and squatted down as well.
"It should be, press it?" Yun Feiyu muttered to himself.
I haven't seen what that button looks like from start to finish, and you're going to press it? I grumbled in my heart.
"Boom." Suddenly, from the wall in front of us came a mechanical sound, and we knew it: it was opened.
The door at the end of the hallway, like an automatic door at the entrance of the bank, gradually opened, and the wall split in half, and was contained in the left and right walls. Looking inside, it is simply a completely different style of painting: our side is a luxury villa; On the opposite side is an ordinary cave. I also remembered when I first arrived, and the four of us walked through this somewhat long tunnel in front of us.
"See?" Yun Feiyu looked back at us and asked.
"Let's go." "Let's go." "Let's see." The three of us agreed.
We walked through the tunnel together again, and after about three minutes of walking, we were standing in front of a glass door.
Yun Feiyu began to look around again, and this time the button was quite obvious, right on the left wall. Yun Feiyu pressed it without hesitation, and then, the glass door in front of him also opened.
It seemed to be another world on that side, and it was pitch black, which made me feel a trace of inexplicable fear. Over there, it's dark, it's dark, it's so dark that the light can't shine through here.
"Are you back?" Yun Feiyu looked at the three of us and asked.
"Let's go back." Ye Fenglan said, and then turned around. Xia Mengyou and I didn't speak, but just followed behind Ye Fenglan.
"Oh." Yun Feiyu answered, then pressed the button again, and the glass door closed again.
Soon, we were back in our living room again. After walking out of that tunnel, I looked at the place where Yun Feiyu and Ye Fenglan were squatting before, and saw that button, which was in that corner, and it was actually not hidden.
Once again we went back to the living room.
Ten o'clock also quietly came.
"Ding-dong." It's this chime again.
"It's almost ten o'clock, so go to the lobby on the first floor and wait for them. As for what will be done later, I have already told you. This time, he just said this sentence, and then disappeared.
"Let's go." I got up from the couch, and this time I walked in front, and the next three followed without saying a word.
We just stood in the lobby on the first floor, quietly waiting, waiting for our past selves.
I didn't look at the time on that watch anymore, I just waited patiently.
Suddenly, the door opened......
The four of us just stood in front of them. This time, we didn't have the time or mood to greet them, and besides, this time, there was nothing to say hello to.
"Let's go?" This time, that "I" just spat out a word indifferently.
"Let's go." I was the only one who responded, and when I was done, the four of us turned around and led them up to the second floor, to the end of the hallway.
Yun Feiyu was there, crouched down, and opened the door, or rather, the wall. Due to the narrowness of the hallway, the four behind may not have seen how the door opened.
Fortunately, the tunnel is quite spacious, enough for four people to walk side by side.
In a few moments, we came to the glass door. This time, all four of us, oh no, eight people, didn't say a word, not a word, or even a punctuation.
I walked over, pressed the button, and the glass door opened.
"Let's go inside." Xia Mengyou spoke, and then the four of us tacitly made a way for them to walk in.
"You're not going?" "Yun Feiyu" suddenly asked.
"We're right behind you." Yun Feiyu replied.
Even though Yun Feiyu answered, the four still didn't take a step.
"You go in and close your eyes, try to empty your brain, and try to be unconscious. When you open your eyes again, you are already in the future. Ye Fenglan explained.
I thought they would ask a lot of questions, but to my surprise, they didn't say a word. It's just that with a puzzled look, as well as that resolute temperament, that kind of determination, I walked into the glass door.
After all four of them walked in, I closed the glass door.
Through this glass door, which is not very transparent, we can only roughly see four very vague shadows. After a while, gradually, gradually, the shadows became more and more blurred, until, slowly, vanished.
I believe that those three minds are full of question marks: how did this method of crossing work? How does it work?
Yet we, like the other four, still didn't speak. Because we know that this question, in its current view, has almost no meaning.
"It's our turn." Yun Feiyu said as he looked at the glass door with blank eyes.
"yes." Ye Fenglan complied.
"Let's go." Xia Mengyou turned her head to look at me and said.
"Let's go." I pressed the button after I finished speaking. The glass door opened again, and it was empty.
The four of us didn't say any more, greet each other, or joke to ease the atmosphere, but silently, numbly, walked through the glass door.
As soon as we stood inside the glass door, the glass door closed automatically.
I know, it's time to start.
I slowly closed my eyes. I don't know what I'll see when I open my eyes again, and what I'll experience after that. However, since it has come to this point, it is gone......
"2023, I'm back."
