Chapter 50: The Ninth Crossing

Although it was only a moment of silence, I still felt a panic and despair, as if a terrible monster would break in on the other end of the phone!

Sure enough, Hao Ming's next words made me completely desperate.

"She, she's dead."

I froze and my phone fell to the ground.

I could hear Hao Ming's "hey, hey" sound on the other end of the phone, but I couldn't support it anymore and knelt on the ground.

He's dead? Yuting her, but she died in the end?

No matter how hard I try, Yuting still can't escape her doom! All my efforts, in the end, are doomed to failure!

Wenting is right, I can't change my doomed fate no matter what. Perhaps, in the first place, I should have given up! That night, even if I hadn't reversed the dial of my watch, I would have had to wait until Yuting died. It can't be changed, it can't be reversed!

It was a long time before I picked up my phone from the ground and stood up little by little.

I felt like I was spinning a little, clutching my chest, and I couldn't stand up straight for a long time.

Just then, my phone rang again.

Could it be that Hao Ming called?

I looked at my mobile phone number, and it turned out to be a call from "Dad". This old man, it must be because the bodyguards didn't find me, so they called me again to urge me to go back.

This time, I didn't pick up the phone again because I was worried about it.

Still, the phone kept ringing.

Eventually, I simply turned off my phone.

Although I have been purified for the time being, what will I do in the future?

Standing in the street, the wind blows on my face, and the long hair that doesn't belong to me floats up and brushes my face.

I am no longer the original Ning Qiang, not even a man, I have become a woman, a woman named Wenting.

Do I want to continue to live in this future world as Wenting?

Everything here is so foreign to me. I can't keep playing a role I've never played. Even if I find Wen Ting, who swapped souls with me and attached to my shell in the past, it would be useless, because even if we exchanged bodies and came back, I would have aged for 18 years in vain.

39-year-old Ning Qiang, in the past 18 years, has he missed many things and missed many people?

Another possibility, I can't stay here anymore.

The "Ning Qiang" in this world has disappeared! Perhaps, "he" is dead, right? Perhaps, he crossed over and won't return here at all? What's the point of me waiting?

Unless, am I willing to accept the fate of becoming a woman and becoming Wenting, and then, to replace the real her, continue to live in this world? Back to her father, perhaps, I have to accept a marriage that I have to accept, and then, marry a man? And then, I'm going to have a baby for this man?

The thought of the pain of a woman getting pregnant and giving birth gives me a headache.

I hugged my head, but some scattered shots flashed quickly in my head.

I was playing in a garden when there was a woman looking at me, her face was blurry. Laughter, it was the laughter of a child like a silver bell. Then, the picture changed to a different one. It was a funeral, and in front of me, there was a large black coffin, a tombstone of black marble. Then, the little girl's heart-rending cry was heard. Finally, a pair of hands covered my eyes······

Strange, how could such images and sounds float through my head? This is something I've never experienced before, right? However, it all seemed real, as if it had happened yesterday.

What the hell is going on? Whose reminiscence footage is this? Is it mine? No, it can't be, I haven't experienced any of these things since I was a child, have I? Could it be that this is Wenting's memory? Do I still have memories of her childhood in my head?

Suddenly, I heard a shaking sound on the ground, as if an earthquake was about to occur.

I was startled and looked in the direction of the voice, but I was taken aback.

I saw two Lincoln-type stretch cars driving towards me at a gallop!

Before I could figure out what was going on, the car was already next to me, only ten meters away.

Then, from a car, three black-clad bodyguards got out, all wearing sunglasses. In the other car, a bodyguard also got down, he opened the door, and said inside: "Master, we have finally found Miss." ”

How is this possible? How did they find me?

The door opened, and a leg slowly stepped out of it, followed by a cane. A man's figure was slowly stepping out of the car.

This person must be Wenting's father!

Oops, I was found by them! If they are caught back, then won't I have to choose to play Wenting and play a woman in the future, I still have to marry another man, and I will get pregnant and have children?

God, I don't want to be a woman! I don't want to get pregnant!

What to do? What to do?

The three bodyguards have surrounded me, and I have no way to escape!

That's when I suddenly thought of that amazing watch.

So, I quickly rotated the watch counterclockwise.

When the hands of the bodyguards reached me, I disappeared from front of them like steam!

The three bodyguards were stunned, but I smirked.

I saw the old man who had come out of the car, that is, Wenting's father. He also wears a pair of sunglasses, a slightly bloated figure, his right hand is on crutches, and his hair is gray.

In the final scene, I saw him in sunglasses open his mouth, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Ah, goodbye, friend, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!" I couldn't help but hum an interlude from a very old movie.

I own a machine that can cheat, and that is the watch. Cheating wasn't honorable, but I still won!

But at the moment when I completely evaporated from this world, suddenly, I thought of a seemingly subtle, but in fact puzzling question.

Why, why don't I feel uncomfortable when I walk in high heels and wear a bra?

If I swapped my body with the real Wenting like in those transformation film and television dramas, as a man, I would definitely feel very uncomfortable when I became a woman for the first time. After all, I've never experienced a woman's life and have no idea how I'm supposed to play a woman. Let's not talk about anything else, just Wenting's feet have a pair of ten-centimeter-long high heels, which can make me feel like stepping on stilts when I wear high heels for the first time, and it's strange not to plant a big heel.

However, I can now walk with ease in these high heels, and it doesn't feel strange and unnatural at all? Also, if a man is wearing a bra and has such a thing on his chest, will he not feel very restrained and uncomfortable? But how do I feel as comfortable as wearing a vest?

What the hell is going on? Didn't I exchange bodies with Wenting?

Could it be that I am not Ning Qiang at all, and I am the real Wenting at all? Am I a woman at all?

However, I don't have much time to ponder these questions, because I've already crossed over again.

When I get to another space, I will change back again, become Ning Qiang, and become the character I am most familiar with - a man.

Goodbye, Wenting!

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

I looked up, and finally I saw the familiar shopkeeper. At this time, this old man with gray hair and gray beard was looking at me with a smile.

I looked down and looked at the watch in the box on the counter.

I'm finally back, back in 2019! It's still this familiar owner, it's still this familiar little shop, everything here hasn't changed.

I let out a long breath.

However, when I was gasping for air, I was stunned.

Although the owner hasn't changed, and the shop hasn't changed, I still haven't changed back to my original self!

I'm still a woman, and I'm still Wenting!

What's going on? Haven't I already crossed in? Why hasn't my gender changed back?

"Miss, your face isn't very good-looking?" The old man looked at me and said.

I stood there dumbfounded, my hands shaking involuntarily, and then my legs began to tremble, and my heels trembled with them.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

I turned my head, and when I saw it, I immediately froze, as if I had been frozen in an instant!

The person who pushed the door in from the outside was none other than him, he turned out to be another me-Ning Qiang!

This man who looked exactly like me in the past, Ning Qiang, walked in and came to the counter.

He didn't notice me, he noticed the watch on the counter.

"Boss, can you show me this watch?" He spoke.

Oh my God, this voice, isn't this my own voice? Also, this action, this expression, this guy, is simply a clone of me!

The shopkeeper moved the watch in front of him, and then the shopkeeper looked at me again.

I lowered my head, but my hands shook even more.

I actually saw myself, another self!

What does it feel like? When a person sees that there is a person in the world who looks exactly like himself, of course, not his twin brother, how shocked will he be?

It's hard to describe how I felt at the moment, but I quickly regained my composure.

Is this "me" Wenting? She swapped bodies with me, and now, we're finally meeting again?

However, the strange thing is that this "Wenting", that is, the man after becoming me, does not seem to be as shocked as in the movie. He didn't even look at me.

"This watch is good, wow, is it only two hundred? I really want to buy it. This "Ning Qiang" spoke again.

"Are you sure you want to buy this watch?" The old man still said this, unchanged.

The "Ning Qiang" raised his head, looked at the shopkeeper, and then lowered his head to look at the watch.

Please, can't you just turn your head and look at me? Wenting, do you have amnesia? Have you forgotten: I am you, are you me?

I started to get anxious and even wanted to call her name. Still, I didn't open my mouth.

At this time, "Ning Qiang", Wen Ting, who should be attached to Ning Qiang's body, turned her head, he probably saw me.

Being seen by another self really made me feel a little uneasy, and I subconsciously turned my head away.

However, the moment our eyes met, I still caught the doubt in his eyes.

Wenting, haven't you really forgotten me, who you used to be?

"Really, it's only two hundred?" That "Ning Qiang" raised his head and asked.

Strange, why did he ask exactly the same question as I had asked? Isn't this the scene from the previous times?

My brain is starting to mess up, shouldn't it be like this?

No, no, this "Ning Qiang" doesn't seem to be Wenting. If he was Wenting, he would be surprised to see another self, that is, me, and even, he would immediately hold me and ask how we exchanged bodies and how to change back? Yes, it should be like this.

But when he saw me, why didn't he seem to know me? And, everything he's doing now, just like I used to do.

Could it be that the "Ning Qiang" I saw was not Wen Ting who swapped bodies with me, but the real Ning Qiang?

In other words, I traveled back in time and collided with myself in this parallel space?

I actually saw my old self······
