CHAPTER XXII
In the early morning, Ke Qinghe slowly opened his eyes on the soft bed, and in the haze, a ray of sunlight shone obliquely through the dark blue curtain of the window and fell on the floor.
In front of me, a familiar figure is in front of the closet, carefully hanging his clothes.
Ke Qinghe moved, and the slight movement made her turn around, glanced at Ke Qinghe who was sleeping next to the bed, and then slowly walked towards him.
When she approached, the scent of her body was fresh and smelly, and the familiarity was soothing.
"Shi Lan ......," he couldn't help but spat out the name.
A gentle finger pressed against his slightly open lips, and a gentle voice reached his ears: "Give you another chance." ”
Ke Qinghe's eyes widened and he saw Aya with a smile in front of him, did he really recognize the wrong person?
He laughed to himself, and then gently shook her hand: "I'm sorry ......"
"It's okay." Aya's reaction had been so calm, "Maybe I can change your name to make it more natural." ”
"Change what?" Ke Qinghe sat up from the bed.
"Shi Ya changed to Shi Lan, and it was just a word difference." Aya appears to be forgiving.
"Nope." Ke Qinghe grabbed her shoulders and leaned her against his chest, "I also like your elegant characters." ”
Aya leaned against his chest and smiled gently: "Then how about giving this elegant character to our child called Keya?" ”
Regarding Aya's whim, Ke Qinghe couldn't help laughing: "Don't be kidding, you know, I doubt that I can still have children......"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it.
"Why can't it be? Anything is possible in this world, and you can always find a glimmer of hope. Aya pulled away from his chest and looked at him, the infinite tenderness in her eyes the perfect soothing.
Ke Qinghe brushed her black and long hair, so soft and delicate, and it grabbed his heart.
"Well, you're all my hope."
……
Kisan didn't know how long it had been since he had been drinking, and strangely, he had grown to like the strange breakfast that Lucy had prepared for him every morning.
Although the green liquid looked unpleasant, the taste made him very strong.
After waiting for a while, Ke Qinghe and Aya came down from the upper floor.
"What are you two doing, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Kisan complained, hoping that Lucy would give him another drink.
"You're living a healthy life now." Ke Qinghe came to him, "Already used to getting up early?" ”
"Hell knows." Mu San disagreed, "Maybe I didn't drink at night and woke up hungry in the morning." ”
"Huh." Ke Qinghe replied with a smile, "Then it seems that it's good to have no wine." ”
"No, it's a mentor and friend who has accompanied me on countless soulless nights." Kisan shook the glass, pretending that it contained wine.
Ke Qinghe glanced at Aya, who was putting on her coat, and then said to Lucy, "Lucy, are you willing to go out for a walk with me?" ”
Lucy put away the breakfast on the table, glanced at Ke Qinghe, and replied, "Okay, Aya." ”
Aya laughed happily, "Let's go, then." So they opened the door and walked out into the sunlight outside.
In this room, there are only two men left, pretending to be in the time machine bar, Ke Qinghe is ready to talk to Mu San.
"Kizo, Aya and I have decided to leave tomorrow." Ke Qinghe's tone was very calm.
"Leave?" Mu San turned to look at him, "Really want to leave?" ”
"yes, we've already decided."
Mu San stood up and walked to the living room: "Where are you going?" ”
"Go outside the city, where you call the Wild Lands."
"What?" Mu San shouted, his eyes wide open and he looked at the man in front of him with a calm face, "What did you say?" You told me you were leaving, but you didn't tell me you were going outside the city! You're going outside! ”
"Yes." Ke Qinghe expected Mu San to have such a reaction, but he became calmer.
"Are you crazy?" Mu San became emotional, "Do you know what's out there?" There may be nothing there, maybe everything, but you've never been there, you have absolutely no idea how you're going to survive, you know? ”
"And you know what?" Ke Qinghe asked him rhetorically.
"You ......" Mu San was angry, "Ke Qinghe, you are really a madman." ”
Although Mu San was angry, there was no trace of reproach in his eyes: "Why is every choice you make so irresponsible?" ”
"No, maybe it was in the past, but it certainly wasn't now." Ke Qinghe replied to him seriously, "I'm not leaving, I've arranged everything for you, as long as you stay here safely and live the life you once wanted." ”
"Have you thought about it?" Mu San looked at the man in front of him who had made all the preparations, "Okay, this is indeed what I have been thinking about for a long time, having a house to live in and someone to take care of." But you have to think about what you're going to face! Can you, a pampered person, get by? ”
"I don't have much time anyway, and even if I go out to suffer, then it's only a short time."
"Huh." Mu San sneered, "You still have a woman with you." ”
"Aya and I made the decision together." Ke Qinghe replied.
"Then you guys are a special match for a pair of crazy people!" Kizo turned around and sat down on the couch angrily.
"Alright." Ke Qinghe sat beside him, feeling that he was comforting a little child, "However, I still have a request. ”
Mu San intervened and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Ke Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously: "It doesn't matter where my life or death is, but Aya is different, if I really die there, can you help me find her back?" ”
Mu San turned his head and looked at him in astonishment, but Ke Qinghe's gentle tone was also desperate.
"What do you mean?"
"She came with me, but I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of her for long, so, if you can, I hope that after I die, you can find her and let her come back, okay?" Ke Qinghe shook Mu San's hand, as if conveying a message.
"Me? I? Mu San opened his mouth dumbfounded.
"Hmm." Ke Qinghe patted his hand confidently, "My intuition is very accurate, you must not be an ordinary person." ”
Ke Qinghe's words made Mu San's heart empty: "What are you talking about? I'm a vagrant, a lazy drunkard......"
"But at least you see me as a friend, don't you?"
Mu San closed his mouth and stopped quibbling.
"Okay, we'll leave tomorrow, whatever you need in the future, you can contact Lucy, I transferred all my credit accounts to your name, you can access them freely, but be careful, your future is still very long." After Ke Qinghe told him, he stood up.
"Hey!" Mu San immediately stood up and called out to him, swallowing what he wanted to say just now, and asked with the sly smile he used to have, "Then I can buy a bar?" ”
Ke Qinghe looked at him and smiled: "Your life is yours, you can make your own decisions." ”
……
On the second day, when Ke Qinghe and Aya left, only Lucy stood in the doorway, watching them.
Didn't Mu San wake up? No, I don't want to think I've woken up.
Opening the door, the house was always sunny and comfortable outside, and they said goodbye to Lucy, got into the car, and prepared to drive in an unknown direction.
Mu San curled up in the bed, listening to the sound of the car starting, and then the sound of the car getting farther and farther away until it disappeared. His eyes were wide open, and he stared at the oil painting, the painting that Aya had painted. Will they go there?
He covered himself again and didn't want to think about it.
That night, the quiet house suddenly made him feel overwhelmed.
"Lucy, how about some music?"
"Okay, Mr. Wu."
Lucy played a slow rock for him. His fingers tapped the edge of the couch to the rhythm, but it always felt empty, and then he got up, intending to go back to the Time Machine Bar.
"Mr. Wu, where are you going? Do you need me to accompany me? ”
"No, no, no, no." Mu San refused, and by the way, he wanted to change Lucy's habits, "You don't have to be so polite to me in the future, I'm not Mr. Wu, call me Mu San." ”
"Okay, Kizo."
"Well, that's a lot more pleasing to the ear."
Kizo left the house, well, this is already his home. At the street entrance outside the door, he pulls up a taxi driven by a robot, but he has to ask, "Can I use cash?" ”
The robot turned its head and replied with a smile: "Mr. Wu, you don't need to pay, I will deduct the corresponding fee from your credit account after reaching your destination." ”
"......" Mu San was stunned for a moment, he forgot, he had an ID, he also had an account, and there was a person who transferred all the funds to his name.
Kizo gets into the car and lets the robot drive to the Time Machine Bar.
Sitting in the car and looking at the glorious night view of the city, there has always been nothing worth his nostalgia for the neon glow.
"Mr. Wu, you have arrived at your destination, and the corresponding fee has been deducted from your ID000031."
"Oh." As soon as Mu San got out of the car, he suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked, "Can you see my account?" ”
"Yes, Mr. Wu."
He tilted his head and suddenly thought of something, and then laughed. Ke Qinghe is so sure that he is an unusual person, so it is.
The two big men at the door of the time machine bar stopped him and took a good look, but they couldn't believe that this was the dog-like Mu San of the person they knew before.
Mu San didn't bother to explain anything to them, and returned to the bar to ask for a glass of wine that he often drank, but the food was tasteless. The anxious and pretended calm man didn't appear around him again.
So, he left the money and left the bar.
Looking back, the signboard of the "Time Machine" still flashed with its unique color, but Kizo's heart suddenly broke away from its dependence.
"If there really was a time machine, would you choose to go back?"
"Cut." Mu San sneered, how could he have such a boring idea.
He shook his head, ready to go back to the room, where someone was waiting for him and she was recording him.
