On such a warm occasion, Yu Manli and I actually discussed such a serious issue as life and death and reincarnation?

"I hope that people will have reincarnation and an afterlife." Yu Manli sighed and stopped talking.

"I don't believe it, it's just superstition."

"Superstition?" Yu Manli shook her head.

"I can trust that you are the one who has crossed over from the future." I stared at her, "Time travel, maybe that's a science." However, I don't really believe in reincarnation. ”

After a pause, I continued: "You don't need to comfort me, I understand what you mean, you mean: Yuting is no longer saved, anyway, she still has an afterlife." However, even if she had an afterlife, I couldn't watch her die like this. Isn't it only this life? ”

Yu Manli stopped talking, and seemed very quiet.

"Also, how can you be sure that she will die? Didn't you also encourage me to do everything I could to save her? My voice was raised a lot, and the already damp things in my body seemed to be warmed by the sun that threw them into my chest, "As long as I have a breath, I will reverse my fate, my fate with her." ”

Yu Manli still didn't speak, but she didn't take her eyes off me.

"There must be a way to change this, but we can't find it yet." I continued.

"I'm sorry, it's you, not me and you." She corrected, "Still, I admire your persistence. ”

"Thank you. I wondered if something was wrong. yes, we, oh no, I need to look carefully for the details of the whole thing, which must be something wrong. ”

"What's the problem then?" Yu Manli also seemed to be affected by my emotions.

"I'll think about it." I frowned and lifted my chin, "By the way, the first time, the time before I even used this watch to cross." Yes, that time, Yuting wasn't dead yet, she was still alive. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I dialed my watch to go back in time. However, I dialed the time at 20:30 that night, not 24 o'clock. ”

"Go on."

"In other words, the first time, yes, in the first parallel space, I turned my watch at 20:30 on August 24 and went back in time. Then, the second time, I learned about Yuting's death. ”

Yu Manli didn't speak, but her expression already told me that she was a little confused and a little lost in my current thinking.

But what is she missing? Could it be that I rescued Yuting, but it was a loss for her?

I didn't pay attention to her expression and continued to "reason".

"If there are countless parallel spaces in the universe, then I should really be in my first parallel space." I said, "But, in the first parallel space, I only stayed until 20:30 on August 24 this year, and then I disappeared from that world." ”

"You mean, you're actually dead in that alternate space?" Yu Manli smiled maliciously.

"Let's just say that I left the alternate space where I was supposed to be and disappeared." Unmoved, I continued, "Then, I traveled to the past, but it wasn't the past, it was another parallel dimension, a second parallel dimension. ”

Yu Manli did not speak.

"And then, for the third time, for the fourth time, for the fifth time." The faster I spoke, the more excited I became, "I thought I was back in the past, but it wasn't the past, it was several other parallel spaces, separate spaces. ”

"But what does that mean?" Yu Manli looked at me suspiciously.

What does this mean? Don't you understand? I'm like an actor playing the same role in seven or eight of the same plays, and I mistakenly think I'm playing the same play, but in fact, it's a different play! ”

Then, I pointed to the watch and said, "This watch didn't bring me back to the first time and space where I was really supposed to be, but it threw me into another dimension. Because in another space, there is also Yuting, and there are similar characters and scenes, I mistakenly thought that it was a simple repetition of the past, but I was wrong! It wasn't a time trip back in time, but a flight to another time and space. ”

"If, in the first plane, I'm talking about the time and space where I dialed back my watch in advance, I could have waited a few more hours, and I'd have seen the real process." The more I talked, the more excited I became, and the spittle stars were about to fly out, "Yuting may not be dead yet!" Yes, I ran ahead of time from that world of my own, and I didn't see the whole thing. I mistakenly thought that what I saw the next few times was the truth, but it was the story plot in the second, third, and fourth time and space, not the same as in the first time and space! Do you understand? ”

"Are you trying to blame this watch? Don't forget, the person who decides to dial back the watch in advance is yourself! ”

Yu Manli's words made me speechless. yes, if I hadn't been in such a hurry to dial back my watch, I might have seen it after 20:30 that day. However, I, an "actor", withdrew early.

"Besides, how can you be sure: if you wait a few more hours that night, what you wait for will not be Yuting's bad news?" Yu Manli's words stabbed me in the heart.

"But I didn't see that scene, I didn't see it, it doesn't mean it will happen." I'm still resisting.

"But just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it won't happen?"

"I don't want to debate with you." I stood up excitedly, my ears reddening, "I, I think it's a conspiracy!" ”

"Conspiracy?" Yu Manli looked at me in surprise, "Whose conspiracy?" ”

"This, this watch." I took off the watch and placed it on the table, "It lured me into a space that wasn't my own, yes, this alternate plane. ”

"And then?" Yu Manli looked very calm, "You don't think I'm part of this conspiracy, do you?" You probably think I'm here to persuade you to give up your plan to save Yuting and make you die, right? ”

To be honest, I did have such doubts.

The appearance of this woman Yu Manli is really strange. Why did she follow me all the way? Why did she hide her real name and even her phone number fake? Did she just want to get her ancestral watch back?

"Ning Qiang, I hope you are calmer and more objective." Yu Manli said in a very gentle, but irresistible tone, "The person who chose to dial back the watch is you, not me, right?" ”

I hesitated and nodded.

"Your fate is determined by yourself, and no one forces you to travel to another parallel time and space." Yu Manli looked at me, the patient, like a psychiatrist, "Now, since you have come and you can't go back, what else can you do?" ”

yes, what else can I do? The past is a thing of the past, and I can only live in this time and space, unable to go back to the past.

I suddenly felt a complete despair, because I thought I could go back in time and change history at will. But as a result, I found that I had just escaped from history, and had fallen into another, no, parallel dimension, layer after layer.

"Yuting is dead, in the parallel spaces in front, all the Yuting are dead." Yu Manli continued, "Okay, even if these parallel spaces are different stages and different scripts, the ending of all the scripts is the same, and you can't change it at all. Even if you change the fate of Yuting in this space, then, what about the next space, will she avoid it next time? ”

"I don't care, I just need to save her in this space."

"Then aren't you going to go to the next space to save other Yuting?"

"Of course, I'll save them again if I can." I actually used the word "they", but, countless Yuting, can I save them? Could it be that my life is only to save Yuting, that is my only task?

In my heart, two forces are trembling, should I let go and let everything go naturally, or change my life against the sky?

"Hey!" Yu Manli let out a long sigh.

We stopped talking, and I knew: she couldn't convince me, and I couldn't convince her.

"Is there a way for me to truly return to the first plane?" I picked up my watch again and looked at it in my hand.

Perhaps, a different way to turn the watch? Would it be useful to quickly move the watch forward?

The thought poured out like lightning, but it was quickly suppressed by me.

To go back in time, you can only turn counterclockwise. If clockwise, what does it become? Is it to fly into the future?

"Then you will lose all your memories of the past." Yu Manli said lightly, "You will forget all the memories in the second, third, fourth, and so on, which is equivalent to you having a dream, and then forgetting all of them, and going back to the past." ”

"Lost your memory? Is that also you? "I suddenly asked such a stupid question.

Our eyes snapped together, and then, quickly, moved away.

If all memories were gone, I would have forgotten everything that had happened in those parallel dimensions, and of course everything I had with the woman in front of me. I will never remember this café again: the days when I was here, with such a beautiful woman. Also, the memories of snuggling up to everything intimately.

At this moment, I suddenly felt an inexplicable loss.

Even if I rescued Yuting, I would have lost another woman, a woman named Yu Manli. Since then, I have forgotten about her, only that there was a woman who followed me behind me, but why she followed me, I don't know, I don't know anything.

But what is the loss of one's own memory compared to saving one's life?

"Unfortunately, there's no way for me to really go back in time." I sighed, "You're right, I can only move forward, I can't turn back." ”

"If you still want to save her, then go ahead, I wish you success." Yu Manli stood up, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been in your world, now, I have to go." ”

She left, walking towards the door, her back looking very lonely.

Suddenly, my heart seemed to be pinched hard, and I couldn't tell the sadness.

"Don't go!" I called out.

However, as if she hadn't heard it, Yu Manli walked out.

I immediately rushed out, shouting as I ran, "Stop!" ”

Rushing out the door of the café, I couldn't see her anymore.

Did she just disappear into my world? No, I'm going to dial the watch back in.

For the first time, I actually had the idea of dialing back the watch for another woman other than Yuting.

However, when my hand touched the dial hand of the watch, I noticed that there was a person standing on my right, in a small bamboo forest.

Yu Manli, that's right, it's her! She's not gone yet!

I rushed forward and hugged her, and then I burst into tears.

"You can't go!" I said the words that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time, "I have lost her, and I can't lose you anymore!" ”

Unexpectedly, Yu Manli actually cried too.

We hugged each other, and tears flowed down our faces.

She and I, not a couple, hugged each other tightly, but why······
