Chapter 41: The Sixth Crossing

"You want to know what time it is?" looked at me seriously, but there was a clear doubt in his eyes.

"No, I just want my watch back!" I'm no longer in tears, and I've made my own decision.

"This," he looked at me with a serious or skeptical look, "Then I'll look for it." ”

I nodded, and closed my eyes.

If the watch is gone, or destroyed in an accident, then I will never go back.

If that's really the case, God will completely cut off my way back, then, should I accept my fate?

However, in the afternoon, Serious still took the watch, and it was intact!

"Thank you!" I took the watch and put it next to my bedside, I can't put it on yet.

"Is this watch important to you?" Look at me seriously.

"Well, it's important." I don't want to say anything more.

Fortunately, Serious didn't ask too much, and left the hospital bed.

I looked at the watch next to the bed, closed my eyes, and felt much more at ease.

But should I go back or not?

This no longer seems to be a problem, because, what other option do I have than to go back in time?

"Are you sure you want to buy this watch?"

In front of him, he was still the smiling shopkeeper.

At this moment, like a robot, I nodded, picked up the watch that had belonged to me countless times, and then numbly put it on my wrist.

I glanced at Yu Manli, who was standing to my left, and she immediately turned her face.

It's as if we have a soul in our hearts, and we don't need any words. She knew what had happened to me in the past, just as I knew her, except that she was deliberately hiding things from me. However, it doesn't really matter anymore.

Although I failed the first few "exams", I still want to continue to challenge, for Yuting's sake, and for myself!

I bought the watch and, with my head down, walked out without saying a word. Even, Yu Manli behind him didn't even look at it.

Whatever, since she admitted that she had a crush on me last time, whether what she said was true or not, it would be better for her to follow her.

Thinking of this, I actually smiled very immodestly. It's a good feeling to be crushed, not someone else, no wonder Yuting always has a sense of superiority in front of me, if it's me, it's not exempt from vulgarity!

So, I raised my head and walked up like a big star, even whistling.

Come on, people from all over the world, come and follow me!

Next, I met the old woman in a wheelchair, lightning and thunder, and a pouring rain, and I put the old lady in a place where there was no rain, like an object. She said thank you to me, but I didn't have any expression on my face.

In the process, my gaze occasionally caught a glimpse of Yu Manli behind me.

However, her gaze was dim. Perhaps, it's because I already know her thoughts, right?

I smiled at her, didn't say anything, just strode forward in the rain!

In my heart, I already have a decision.

A few days later,

"What? You're quitting? My boss, a middle-aged man in his forties who was already bald, looked at me in surprise, "Ning Qiang, aren't you doing a good job?" How do you say that if you resign, you will resign? ”

"I'm sorry, I'm going to another city." I said calmly.

Actually, if I really wanted to stop doing this job, I could have made myself a rich man, because I knew the results of all the football matches that were going to be played in the next few months, and I could make an astronomical fortune through football lottery. It doesn't matter if I go to work or where I work.

Now, when I watch the news and games on TV, it's like I'm suffering. Because, the live broadcast content is just the "history" I already know.

This time, though, I actually tendered my resignation to my boss.

"Okay." My boss had to accept it all calmly, "Our place is indeed a little small, and there is no room for your big fish." ”

I smiled and looked at the office, in fact, it is quite large and spacious, but the small cubicles of the employees seem to be too small.

And just like that, I left here and the city.

I came to Jiangbei City, which is not far from Jiangnan City, where I used to be, only a river away. That's enough, though. Here, I can completely avoid everything in the past, including Su Yuting and Yu Manli.

As time passed, I slowly got used to life in a foreign land. I didn't go to work, but I had enough money to support myself, and as for how the money came from, I think you all know.

I even changed my cell phone number so that I could completely disconnect from those people I used to have. It was as if I had gotten into a closed shipping container, where there was only the present and not the past.

However, why should I go back in time? Is this necessary? Didn't I come back to save Yuting? Otherwise, what is the point of my crossing?

I also often ask myself this question when I'm alone, and of course, being alone is the norm, so I actually think about it all the time.

Yuting, is she doing well, is she married to Shi Wen? Yu Manli can't find me, will she give up and give up tracking?

It seems that I still want to connect with my past a little bit, like a broken thread. However, it made me miserable.

Just between wanting to go back and not wanting to go back, time quietly came to the day of August 24th.

It was a day I will never forget.

As soon as I got up in the morning, I felt my heart pounding. Today, I am not a participant, nor a witness, nor a witness to that impending tragedy, I am nothing but a passerby in another city.

"Ning Qiang, why do you look like a turtle with a shrunken head?"

Looking at me in the mirror, I closed my eyes and crushed the toothpaste. I could only sit on the toilet with my head bowed and silent.

Today, my stomach is a little upset, and I keep running to the toilet. I knew it was a neurosis, caused by anxiety, but I couldn't help it.

"Go to Jiangnan City, go back there, Ning Qiang, don't run away anymore." A voice kept beating at me, but I still didn't want to go back.

After going to the bathroom, I lay in bed again, suffering from stomach pain and heart pain.

Time is ticking by minute, walking mercilessly. I looked at the watch on my wrist, and I felt a sense of fear and anxiety.

Stop, stop, stop!

Then, time cannot be stopped by me.

At this moment, I suddenly felt like a very ridiculous clown, although I thought I had a magic weapon that could turn back time, but this magic weapon was useless at all.

What to do? What to do?

Suddenly, an idea popped into me.

I'd better go find something to kill the time and get my attention away.

Yes, drink, buy drunk!

However, it was still daytime, and the bar was not open yet, so the trick of wanting to drink and forget obviously didn't work. Going to buy drunk yourself? So what if I wake up at night, do I continue to drink?

Forget it, what's the use of this trick of getting drunk?

I can't hold it anymore, I'm afraid I'll suffocate to death if I stay here.

So, I left home.

There aren't many people on the streets on weekends, probably because it's only morning, and most people are still at home catching up on sleep after a week's work.

The morning sun was a bit harsh, and the sun was scorching, but I didn't hide in the shadows like everyone else. I walked in the middle of the sidewalk, not under the eaves next to me.

Just then, a man came up to me and blocked my way.

I was stunned, looked up, and when I saw this person, I almost fell.

"You, why are you here?" I stammered the words.

That person is none other than Yu Manli!

Come on, how can I run wherever she comes?

Yu Manli didn't speak, but looked at me quietly, which made me nervous.

Suddenly, I turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

"Stop!" Yu Manli yelled.

I stopped and turned my head, only to see Yu Manli's serious face. Looking around, passers-by all threw surprised expressions at us, but soon they went their separate ways again.

"Where do you want to flee to?" Yu Manli walked over, but I didn't dare to move anymore.

"What are you going to do? Why are you tracking me here? How did you know I was here to this place? "So many words came out of my head.

"Don't forget, we all traveled from the future to the present world, and I know everything you've done in the past." Yu Manli walked up to me and whispered.

"In the past?" I was stunned, "What do you mean?" Am I still in the past? ”

"You can say the same thing." Yu Manli nodded.

I was stunned, "What the hell do you mean?" Isn't I right now, how can it be in the past? Could it be that what we meet today is something that happened in the past? ”

Yu Manli didn't speak, nodded.

"How is that possible?" I realized that my brain was a little underwhelming, "I'm in the present, how can it be in the past?" ”

"And what about your wife's first few deaths? I ask you, is that the past, or is it now? ”

"I don't understand what you mean, yes, she died several times, but each time she died, wasn't it different? Isn't it a simple repetition? ”

"Don't you understand? We were in different parallel dimensions, and we could never save her life, and although she died in different ways, the result was the same, just a repetition of the definite result of the past. "Yu Manli's bright eyes revealed a certain majesty that I couldn't resist.

"Do you think you're a god?" My tongue trembled a little when I said this, "Death?" ”

"I'm not the Grim Reaper, but I know we can't change the outcome, we can't change it!" Yu Manli let out a long sigh, "Now, I'll give you two choices. ”

"What?" I was stunned again.

"The first way, now, you follow me back to Jiangnan City."

"No, I'm not going back, I'm not going back!" I raised my voice, but the expression on my face was like that of a defeated rooster.

"That's fine, second way, now, you can dial back your watch and go back in time again."

"Back in time?"

"That's right." Yu Manli nodded, "In this way, you can avoid hearing her bad news." ”

My heart shook.

Could it be that Yuting is really still in calamity this timeΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
