I was thinking about this all the way home.

"Ning Qiang, I look down on you!"

yes, I'm looking down on myself a little bit myself. Even Yu Manli, who has never known Yuting in her life, knows that she should save a life, but what about me? Could it be that just because Yuting doesn't love me, I will give up my efforts?

That's a living human life! Even if Yuting and I don't have any intersection, I shouldn't just back down and not save her?

But I was so tired, so tired!

Again and again, again and again, I am almost numb! Sometimes, I even wish the watch was broken, so I wouldn't have to go back in time again and again. Or, I should just return the watch to Yu Manli, it was originally hers, and it didn't belong to me in the first place!

With this watch, I have one more privilege than the average person, and I can restart it again and again as if I were playing a game. However, I'm just a player, I'm not the maker of the game, and perhaps, from the beginning, the rules of the game were set.

This rule is - Yuting must die!

But I'm foolishly trying to challenge the rules of the game? As a result, every time it was a failure, a complete failure!

The frustration of helplessness had completely crushed me. Back home, lying on the couch, I picked up a can of beer and drank it freely.

Alcohol, little by little, numbs my brain, and I have slowly forgotten everything and fallen into a deep sleep.

At this time, suddenly, there was a knock at the door, very urgent.

I was startled, and immediately woke up and went to the door.

"Who is it?"

There was no sound outside the door, and I looked through the cat's eye on the door, but I didn't see a single person.

What's going on?

I opened the door anyway, and in a blind spot next to the door, I saw a woman dressed in white, with her head bowed, her hair scattered, covering her entire face.

I was startled, and suddenly I thought of Sadako from "Midnight Bell"!

The woman slowly raised her head, her long hair parted, and I finally saw her face!

"Yuting?" I screamed.

That's right, the woman in white is Yuting.

Strange, how would she know I lived here? It seems that the first few times, I brought her here after we fell in love? However, in this parallel time and space, it seems that we haven't even held hands, right?

However, then, when I looked at Yuting's face again, I was stunned.

Her originally fair face was left with clear blood marks.

"What's wrong with you? What the hell is wrong with your face? I put my arms around her.

This action is really weird, Yuting and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend now, I am so active?

Strangely, Yuting didn't seem to resist, but cried.

"Yuting, why are you crying?" My heart softened, "You say, who hit you?" Isn't it, isn't it Shi Wen's guy? ”

No, hasn't Shi Wen already broken up with Yuting? Haven't they broken up yet? Could it be that Yuting's jumping into the river in the morning was not because Shi Wen and her proposed to break up?

However, Yuting still did not speak, but buried her head in my chest, and her body was still sobbing.

I felt a strange, warm breath in my chest. Yuting and I, a lonely man and a widow, are in this corridor, hugging each other like this, like a couple?

For a moment, I regretted it. Why did I have the idea of not saving her? At that moment, Ning Qiang, did you really back down?

Yuting, who had her head in my arms, was still sobbing, her voice thin and weak, like a cat. At night, in this empty corridor, it looks particularly bleak.

"Yuting, don't cry, don't cry." I don't know what to say, "Yuting, what I told you this morning was the truth, I love you!" Yuting, I will take care of you for the rest of your life! ”

"Really?" Yuting slowly raised her head.

"Really." I nodded, but when I made eye contact with her who looked up, I screamed in fright, "What, why are you?" ”

Yuting, turned out to be Yu Manli? That face still has a certain weird smile, but the right half of the face still has that clear bloodstain!

Am I looking at the wrong person? I mistook Yu Manli for Yuting?

I froze and rubbed my eyes, that's right, this woman in my arms is not Yuting, but Yu Manli!

I was so frightened that I tried to push the woman away, but she stalked me so hard.

"You said you want to take care of me for the rest of my life? Did you say that? The corners of Yu Manli's mouth grinned, and her eyes looked a little sharp and terrifying.

"No, no, it's not you!" I yelled, "Yuting, what about Yuting? ”

"Do you want to go back? You men, there is not a single good thing! Suddenly, this "Yu Manli" screamed, "Give me hell!" ”

I saw that her bloodstained face suddenly cracked like a thin layer of skin. Then, a blur of flesh and blood, only those two white and black eyeballs were staring at me! There were also countless maggots that fell from that face and quickly climbed up my body.

"No, no, help!" I screamed.

"Die!" In the corridor, the screams of this woman who seemed to have come from hell echoed······

"Ahh

I screamed and woke up from my dream.

The heart was beating violently. The chest was burned by the fire of hell, and it hurt fiercely.

It turns out that I just had a nightmare!

I let out a long breath and looked around.

Suddenly, my phone rang sharply, and my heart was hanging again.

My phone was still ringing, so I had to stand up and pick up my phone.

However, when I looked at the caller's number, I was shocked!

This call turned out to be from Yuting!

Am I right? How could it be a call from her?

I was indeed not mistaken, this phone call is true, it is my goddess - Yuting called!

I suddenly thought of the terrible nightmare I had just had, and although it was just a dream, what did it seem to portend? Could it be that something happened to Yuting?

I picked up the phone, and on the other end, Yuting's voice came.

"Ning Qiang, just now, I was sorry for you just now."

Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer her.

What's going on? Why, why is this passage so familiar?

"Are you listening?" Yuting asked again.

"Oh, me, I'm listening." I'm stuttering a little.

However, at this moment, I suddenly understood in my heart.

The plot of the past is repeated again.

Yu Manli is not wrong, the people in this parallel time and space, including Yuting, are still living according to their inertia. Yuting called me this bridge, she didn't seem to be able to resist, this call was what she had to make.

"Ning Qiang, thank you very much for saving your life."

"Hey, what is that, don't say I'm yours, your classmate, even a passer-by will go down to save you."

Last time, I said the same thing.

So, next, is she going to invite me to dinner?

Sure enough, that's how the script played.

"Ning Qiang, if you don't do this, I'll invite you to dinner, is it okay?"

"Okay," I looked at my watch on the coffee table again.

Everything, like the hands on a watch, is moving forward irresistibly.

However, this time I chose - to be strong!

Even if I am an unknown person, there is no reason for me to refuse to save a life! I said to myself in my heart.

This time, I saw the familiar script again. This time, I was powerless to resist the fate of myself and Yuting. This time, like a moth to a fire, I fell in love again.

The story is still moving forward as before. Yuting, the goddess I once considered unapproachable, once again became a couple with me. I barely resisted or struggled, and was dragged into that unseen space-time orbit.

However, I don't have the excitement and anticipation I had for the first time. Instead, I felt panicked and lost.

This time, it will be different from the above times, what is the difference?

It seems that as long as I go to rescue Yuting who is about to jump into the river, I can only become her boyfriend and her future husband. It's like pressing the button of a letter on the keyboard and only that letter can pop up on the screen. Everything is a well-arranged script, and I become the unchanging character in this script. Only I know this script, oh no, there is another person, and that is Yu Manli. However, whether it was me or her, we could only watch this play and continue to act like this.

Could it be that this is the future of my life?

Maybe it's because I've experienced countless times, but I can't feel love anymore, and I find that I feel more and more indifferent to Yuting. It's true, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm tired, but I'm going to keep going, I can't quit! Because, I need to save her life, that's all.

Dreams are the only thing that can't deceive people.

That night, in my room, Yuting slept next to me. This woman is already a woman I am more familiar with, every inch of her skin, every movement and every breath during intimacy, like a program in a computer game, makes me feel tired and tired.

I remember when I was in college, I was hooked on an online game. Eventually, however, I gave it up.

The feeling of playing online games is like taking drugs, although you know that this thing is not good for your body and mind, but you are used to it, and you can't live without it.

However, the repetition of mechanical operations again and again eventually exhausted the last bit of happiness I had. By chance, I didn't play the game for three days, but after three days, I stopped touching it at all. And just like that, I "broke up" with this game that I had sworn to play for the rest of my life.

Looking at this woman sleeping next to me, I suddenly had a strange and terrible thought.

Why is she still alive and why didn't she die sooner?

As soon as the thought came to me, I was terrified.

Ning Qiang, how could you have such a terrible thought?

However, the more I forcibly suppressed it, the stronger this thought became in my mind. I was terrified, afraid that I would do something stupid, so that night, I got out of bed, put on my pajamas, and walked to the window.

On the other side, there was still the gray house, and the window, which was like an eye, looking at me.

I threw up my head and let out a long sigh, but I didn't dare to go to sleep with boredom and exhaustion.

Suddenly, I saw the opposite window open, revealing a man's face.

I was startled, but when I looked again, I was stunned.

The woman who lived in the hotel opposite, leaning against the window, was none other than Yu Manli!

Am I right?

Soon, the woman in the opposite window, yes, it was Yu Manli, and she also saw me.

She seemed to be frightened, and immediately closed the window, but I still remembered that face!

Yu Manli, who actually lives opposite me? Just across the street from the hotel, just behind that window across the street?

Could it be that she was there all the time, watching my every move······
