Chapter 68: The Fourteenth Crossing
"Miss Yu, you better accept your fate. We can't fight fate, we can only be friends with it. Shi Wen stood up, "I'm afraid I can't give you any advice, because I've failed myself." ”
"Are you leaving?" I didn't get up, I looked up.
"Yes. I think if we can be together, we should cherish every day together. Anyway, people always have to die sooner or later, and there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed. Isn't that so? I'm sorry, I'm going first, thank you for your football lottery password, though, I don't think I'll bet too much. Too much money is not a good thing, and everyone's financial fortune is a certainty. ”
Shi Wen smiled at me and turned to leave.
I didn't move, I sat there quietly, pondering.
Is there no feast in the world that will not be dispersed? Yes, even if I save Yuting's life, so what? She's going to die eventually.
Everything is destined to happen, we can't change it, and we can only choose to accept it.
This time, I gave up struggling.
Although I knew what the end result would be, I had already chosen to give up, like a spectator, silently watching the passage of time and watching everything whizz past me.
I began to wander around this city, a city that I was familiar with, almost every corner, left my figure. The lively streets, the beautiful lake, the shadows between the high-rise buildings, and the unknown alleys, I walked them all. Perhaps, on weekdays, I don't want to see the scenery, but this time, I can enjoy everything here with peace of mind.
There is a book that says: When you are at ease, you will understand the world.
When I gave up struggling and accepted my fate, I also understood the world.
People come and go, traffic is busy, all people come in a hurry, and they all leave in a hurry, but who has ever stopped to savor the meaning of life?
We don't have endless time, and we can't turn back time, so why not live in the moment and savor each day of your life?
This time, I quietly waited for the time to come.
On this day, it finally came······
"Are you sure you want to buy this watch?"
Hearing this, I didn't even bother to raise my head. Hey, again, when is it a head, let's end it early!
But even though I thought so in my heart, I still raised my head and looked at Ning Qiang, who was standing not far to my right.
He also noticed me, but instead of getting excited, he turned his head away.
Could it be that he also gave up?
I really didn't have the courage to look at him anymore, so I turned my head again.
This time, will he blame me for Yuting's death again? However, this time, I really didn't do anything, neither stalking you nor getting involved in the affairs between you?
This time, He Ningqiang didn't embarrass me again, but asked the boss a word.
"Boss, can I ask you a question?"
"Of course, boy, is it about this watch?" The boss replied.
The plot is familiar, but my memory is getting more and more blurry. It seems that every time I cross over, some memory will be erased from my brain. Now, I guess I have very few memory fragments left.
Ning Qiang nodded, turned his head again, and looked at me.
What was he going to ask? Could it be that you are asking about the origin of this watch? Or does he suspect that I have something to do with the watch?
I'm starting to get anxious, if the boss tells Ning Qiang more things, he might have doubts about my identity.
I'd better go, the sooner the better, since it's a waste of time for me to stay in this parallel space, it's better to leave earlier.
Thinking of this, I suddenly walked towards the door of the store, and I really didn't want to listen to it anymore. As for this watch, I can't get it anyway, so forget it.
But the moment I walked behind Ning Qiang, he suddenly screamed.
"I'm sorry, young lady, I still have something I want to talk to you about."
I stopped, but didn't speak, just looked at him.
Ning Qiang, what do you want to talk to me about? Haven't I already said everything I need to say, have you also lost your memory?
"When I'm done asking, I'll tell you again, excuse me, can I wait a little longer?" Ning Qiang looked very calm, so calm that it made me more and more nervous.
However, I still have to pretend to be calm. I didn't go, I stood aside.
Next, Ning Qiang asked some inexplicable questions, which was nothing more than where did this watch come from? What kind of people are the people who sell their watches on consignment?
I don't want to hear it, and it's none of my business. But I'm going to have to find a reason to get this watch back, right?
Although I have no illusions about the success rate of getting the watch back, as long as the watch is in the hands of Ning Qiang all the time, I will have to endure one more day of torment. If only I had managed to get my hands on the watch!
Ning Qiang turned his head and asked me again: "This young lady, why did you take a fancy to this watch at a glance?" ”
I was stunned, yes, why did I take a fancy to this watch at first sight? Why not the other watches in this store?
After a pause or two, I gave an answer that was so simple that I thought it was very pediatric myself.
"It's nothing, I just think it's special."
Ning Qiang was obviously not satisfied with my answer, but he didn't continue to pester me, but continued to ask the old man.
I let out a sigh of relief, but I kept thinking about the question that Ning Qiang asked me just now.
yes, why did I fall in love with this watch at first sight?
It's not nonsense, because I know the secret of this watch and know that I can use it back into the future. Who wouldn't want such a watch, as long as they know its secrets?
However, if I answer like this, it will be tantamount to openly competing with Ning Qiang. No, I'm going to put it mildly.
But what shall I say?
Suddenly, Ning Qiang turned back and stared at me. I was a little nervous to be stared at by him, and I lowered my head.
"Can you take this watch apart?" Ning Qiang turned around and made another request to the shopkeeper.
What the? Do you want to take the watch apart? Are you crazy? If you break this watch, how can I go back to 2037? My nerves tightened immediately.
"Huh?" The shopkeeper was also stunned.
"I bought it, but I want you to help me disassemble the watch and reassemble it, and I'll give you another hundred yuan, which is the cost of disassembling and assembling it." Ning Qiang said very seriously, but in my opinion, he was simply messing around.
"Are you sure?" The old man looked at Ning Qiang suspiciously.
Ning Qiang nodded.
Ning Qiang, you idiot, do you know what you're doing? You're going to kill us! No, absolutely not, I won't let you dismantle this watch!
Thinking of this, I rushed over and snatched the watch in my hand. This time, I didn't hesitate any longer.
I really can't wait to dial this watch back immediately, this watch, in the hands of this Ning Qiang, who knows what else will happen, it is better for me to snatch it myself!
"What do you want to do?" Ning Qiang was obviously frightened by my actions.
"Boss, I bought this watch!" My eyes widened and my voice was loud.
"You put down this watch." Ning Qiang was anxious, and his eyes widened, "I've already bought it." ”
"I picked it first, of course I can buy it first!" I bit my lip.
If he dares to rob me, I will fight with him!
"No, I'm going to order this watch!" Ning Qiang rushed over and grabbed my arm that was holding the watch.
Oops, I haven't turned the watch's hand yet? I'm so stupid, why do I talk so much nonsense? Wouldn't it be enough to dial the pin directly?
It's a pity that it's too late for me to regret it now. My hand was grabbed by Ning Qiang, his strength was so great that I didn't have a chance to turn the dial needle at all. Perhaps, he knew that my next move was to flip the pin, so he fought desperately with a lady for it.
So, we had to twist together.
"Hey, don't you do this, don't you just have a watch?" The shopkeeper was frightened and ran out from behind the counter.
But Ning Qiang is a man after all, and he doesn't need much effort to deal with me, who is now his daughter. Soon, he pulled the watch out of my palm. It's rude!
The moment he took the watch, I almost collapsed on the ground.
"You, you give it back to me!" I could only puff out, but the breath was almost gone.
"What is so great about what you saw first? Haven't you bought it yet? Ning Qiang lived like a scoundrel and said, "I bought this watch." ”
"It's mine!" I cried out desperately, and no matter what gentleman, oh no, was ladylike.
However, Ning Qiang ignored my protests in the slightest, and he calmly put the watch on his hand and looked at me with the eyes of a victor.
Why did I lose again? I really want to give myself a mouthful. This time, I'm only so close to victory, but I still give it to this guy?
"Don't you two argue, isn't that just a watch? Why is it the same as playing with life? The shopkeeper came running and said, "Young man, you can give it to her, but she's a girl." ”
"What's wrong with the girls?" Ning Qiang raised his head and looked at me proudly.
At this time, I was already slumped in my chair. I turned my head away, gasping for air, ashamed and annoyed.
However, Ning Qiang still didn't give up his crazy thoughts, and after getting the watch, he even asked the boss to help him open the watch.
"Aren't you afraid that after taking it apart, this watch will break?" I finally couldn't help it anymore and exclaimed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this sentence came out, Ning Qiang was stunned for a moment.
"Boss, don't tear it down." He changed his mind and took the watch back, "I'll buy it now." ”
The old man spread out his hands and seemed to be speechless for him.
Ning Qiang paid and put the watch box that was still on the counter into his trouser pocket. Then, he looked back at me who was still sitting in his chair.
This time, I was not afraid of him anymore, and I also looked at him with wide eyes.
Who is afraid of whom, do you think that if you snatch my watch, I will give up? We'll see, I'll get this watch back sooner or later!
The two of us looked at each other as if we were fighting cocks, and although we only stayed for two or three seconds, I felt as if a century had passed.
"You, come out with me!" Ning Qiang finally couldn't stand it anymore, "I still have something to ask you!" ”
I was stunned for a moment, but did not flinch, stood up, and with the pride of a victor, walked towards him.
"Let's talk about it later." Ning Qiang seemed a little nervous, he walked out first, and then, standing at the door, he didn't leave.
Our eyes were on each other again.
"There's a café in front." We even said in unison.
I don't know why I'm bringing up Noah's Cafe again, but it's like someone else is coming out of my mouth.
Why should I go to that café with him? There's no reason for that. Didn't I say everything I needed to say last time? What else is there to say?
However, the words have been spoken, and neither of us can take them back.
"Alright, let's walk over together." Ning Qiang sighed lightly, "Don't you want to run, if you want to get this watch back." ”
"Okay," I agreed.
Just go, who's afraid of whom?
Ning Qiang, you wait, I will use my own three inches not to rot, and let you obediently return this watch to this girl······
