After separating from Brooke, Mou Jiangrong went back to his parents' house, and in his former study, he found his unfinished thesis when he was in college, "On the Effect of the Distortion of the Timeline on the Flow of Time."

In this paper, Mou Jiangrong proposes a completely new theory that time is not a single one, shared by all living beings. Rather, each life has its own independent timeline, and all timelines converge into the time stream of the entire world. The flow of time that makes up the entire world is like a wire that peels off the outer insulation, and inside is a fine, interlaced copper wire.

The speed of time varies from time to timeline, and the rate of time depends on the speed of thought and the density of consciousness, so that the relative time of each organism is not equal in an absolute time stream.

Among the known life forms on Earth, the speed of human thought and the density of consciousness are faster and higher than those of other life forms, and the speed of time is also faster. The faster the flow of the timeline, the more likely it is to be distorted, and at the moment of high-speed collision of consciousness, it may suddenly deviate from the direction, make a spin, and then continue forward.

Then, there will be two different time nodes on this timeline, and the time can either go straight from point 1 to point 2, or through point 1 to the distorted timeline, circle to point 2, and then continue forward.

A distorted timeline does not affect the entire flow of time, but only fluctuates the timeline that closely intersects with it.

But this is only one of Mu Jiangrong's assumptions, and to confirm this theory, a huge amount of scientific research funds will be needed. At the time of writing this paper, he was only a junior in college and did not have the academic requirements to apply for this kind of special research funding.

Before the thesis was finished, Mu Jiangrong received a message from Yi Lan that he was distressed by the death of his grandmother. He was anxious to get to her side as soon as possible. The continuous heavy rain caused the flight to be suspended, but he did not want to delay for a moment, took the engagement ring, and insisted on driving despite the dark and rainy night. It was an important moment that changed his life.

Mu Jiangrong once imagined that at the moment of the car accident, his thinking speed and consciousness density reached a critical value, causing the timeline that should have ended his life to be distorted and continued in another path.

Due to the distortion of his timeline, some of the other timelines that intersect with his timeline also fluctuate, and the course of the timeline is changed, and events that existed in the previous timeline are overwritten. Everything that had happened in the timeline before them had become fragments of consciousness, and although they still existed in their memories, it was as if they had been in a dream.

When the annual meeting was reunited, Yilan was obviously obsessed with him, threw herself into his arms, and wanted to kiss him in public. He was full of confidence that Iran would definitely agree to his proposal. However, when he said goodbye to the bar, after listening to what Peng Xinxin said, his heart was cold, Yi Lan was so resolute that he didn't leave any room for maneuver.

Mu Jiangrong had already vaguely guessed from Coco's words that what Scarlett had done in the past, Yi Lan and Coco might already know. He was too careless, he should have thought that in the confrontation with Scarlett, he had never won. Back then, he really shouldn't have been soft-hearted, and thought that he could exchange people's hearts for people's hearts.

He always thought that Iran was a stupid woman, and he didn't know how much he loved her. He has been waiting for Yi Lan to grow up, waiting for Yi Lan to fall in love with him, and now he knows that he is the stupidest person. Not only did he not see Yi Lan's deep affection for him earlier, but he finally let Scarg succeed and successfully frightened the bird in his heart.

If the change in Yi Lan's attitude is really because of this reason, there may be only one way to save Yi Lan's heart, go back to the past and change that period of history.

Not to mention whether it is possible to really go back to the past, even if he can, he must first find out the two time nodes where they intersect. These two time nodes determine the direction of his timeline during that period, not only are they indispensable, but they cannot deviate in the slightest.

Otherwise, if he ventures into the past, he is likely to create two new points of intersection in his timeline. As a result, the two distorted timelines overlap almost completely, causing him to become insane due to the overlapping fragments of consciousness.

Mu Jiangrong returned to his house and went to the wine cabinet first to get a bottle of wine and a glass. For several years, the first thing he did when he got home every day was to drink, but he never drank too much, just get slightly drunk, numb the pain in his heart, and leave half of his sober consciousness to miss Yilan, under the catalysis of alcohol, the thoughts will not be too bitter.

What he drank in the bar yesterday was the wine of despair, and today, thinking that there was another possibility to recover Yi Lan, Mu Jiangrong's heart rekindled hope.

He took the wine and the paper and sat down in the study, intending to read the paper again while drinking.

As he approached the desk, he saw a letter on the table, handwritten in colored pencils of various colors, in Scarlett's. Coming to this set again, Mu Jiangrong frowned, threw the letter aside, and didn't bother to read it.

"Xiao Yiyi, Xiao Lanlan, don't be in a daze, come and play with me!"

"How do you become an adult?"

"Why do you want to be an adult?"

"You don't need to take medicine to be an adult."

"You can only get better if you take medicine, and you don't need to take medicine when you get better. Adults can also get sick, and when they are sick, they also take medicine. ”

"No, my brother said it was because I was too stupid and stupid to take medicine. He said that my mother lied to me, and was afraid that I would be sad, so he said that I was sick and had to take medicine. ”

"Your brother knows a lot."

"Because my brother is older than me."

"Can you grow up to be smarter?"

"Hmmm! Adults are smarter than children, and they can deceive children, so I can't see that my mom is lying to me. That's why I want to be an adult. ”

"Stupid boy, go, I'll take you to be an adult."

"Where are we going?"

"Let's go to the playground."

"You can be an adult by going to the playground?"

"As long as we run faster than the time, we can run until tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and by the time we come back from the playground, we will be older than them."

"Will it be older than my brother?"

"Yes! As long as we run fast enough, maybe we can be older than my sister, and my sister is old enough to get married. ”

Mu Jiangrong sat at his desk, drinking and laughing in his memories. From that time on, he was waiting for his Iran to grow up quickly, and he wanted to find a good way to take her to tomorrow and marry him sooner. And now, he wants to find a way to go back to the past for her, but the purpose has not changed.

He was in a coma for nearly four years after the crash, and he didn't know exactly when two or two time nodes in his timeline were distorted. In other words, he has only been thinking about how to return to Yi Lan's side all these years, and has not paid much attention to this issue.

If he wants to find the exact location of the two time nodes, he can only know through the people around him. Thinking of currying favor with Si Jia again, Mu Jiangrong frowned and picked up the letter that he had put aside.
