Time flies, December passes in a hurry, and the end of the year is approached in a blink of an eye.

Whether it is the world before Su Mo travels through or here, the Chinese New Year is always the most leisure time for everyone.

Families who have worked hard outside have returned from all over the world, relatives and old friends gather to drink and talk, chat about the interesting things of the old year, and then look forward to the new year together.

At the end of the year, there were very few people doing business, so Crescent City was also very calm during this time, and the middlemen had been non-commissioned since the middle of the month, and Su Mo also gave the marginal mercenaries an early holiday.

Except for those mercenaries who had no family and were going to stay in the Edge Mansion to celebrate the New Year together, everyone else went home to recuperate.

In the past few days, Su Mo, who has been busy with work, finally has time to devote himself to his biggest hobby, playing games with Dongdong and KK all day long, and even the future with the highest concentration has put down his work and started fishing.

After playing a game, Su Mo came to the window and stretched his waist, overlooking the city with red lights outside the window: "Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, you can start thinking about how to cook the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." ”

Dong Dong poked his head out and asked, "What is the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?" ”

When she thought of Dongdong's life, she probably hadn't eaten Chinese New Year's Eve dinner since she was a child, Su Mo explained: "The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is the reunion dinner at the end of the year, where the family gets together and eats a sumptuous dinner." ”

"Let's go to the supermarket together to buy later, buy something for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and everyone will cook a dish tomorrow~"

Dong Dong touched the back of his head and sneered, "Ah, but what if I can't cook."

KK said confidently: "It's okay, I'll teach you by hand, cooking is easy!" ”

"Yay!" Dong Dong clapped his hands, with a smirk on his face, "If it's not delicious, you can't dislike it." ”

The group talked and laughed and went to the largest supermarket in the lakeside business district together.

Approaching the end of the year, the supermarket is very lively, full of people with companions, there are couples snuggled together, and there are also families of three holding hands.

KK and Dongdong are the two children who are the most active, and when they encounter the snack shelf, they have to go up and look around, pointing to the things on it and talking and laughing.

In the future, as always, salted fish, lying in the trolley like a hamster, from time to time to receive snickering laughter from passers-by.

Chu Nanyi played the role of a great injustice, responsible for pushing the cart with the future.

But he is very bullish, he doesn't care about the eyes of the people around him, and when he sees a beautiful woman, he doesn't forget to throw a wink, and the other party immediately goes up to ask for contact information when he smiles.

Su Mo and Qi Ling walked side by side at the back, looking at the cheerful companions, their eyes full of emotion.

Qi Ling changed the sweet girl style of the past, wearing a very intellectual gray windbreaker and black boots, with a vertical middle hair style to expose her forehead, she looks a few years more mature, and she has a sense of royal sister.

Su Mo looked at Qi Ling beside him and said with a smile: "This dress suits you quite well." ”

Qi Ling blinked: "Then do you like me like me now, or the way I used to be?" ”

Su Mo: "It's all good, the cute style when I used to date, and now this intellectual maturity style, I like it." ”

Qi Ling walked around to Su Mo and stretched out his finger to hook it, motioning for him to come over.

Su Mo leaned down and poked his head out.

Qi Ling wrapped his arms around Su Mo's neck from the front, put his red lips to his ear, and whispered softly: "Meaning, as long as it's me, you like it?" ”

The warm current and whispers in his ears made Su Mo's face flush directly, and he didn't know where to put his hand: "The court is public, so many people are watching."

"What's the matter, let them watch it~" Qi Ling grabbed Su Mo's arm with his backhand and led him forward.

Walking and walking, the two passed by the health care products area.

Not far away, a dusty young man was on the phone.

He looked at the dazzling array of goods on the container, and smiled: "Dad, Mom, eh~ I'm back to Crescent City, shopping in the supermarket." ”

"yes, I have to go to work on the last day of the year, it's really annoying. I ignored those leaders and took two days off in advance to come back. ”

"Mmmm, I'll buy some New Year's goods and come back, I'll see you later. I miss my mother's sauerkraut fish! ”

Looking at the smiling young man on his face, Su Mo couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in his heart.

Since the crossing, he has actually not had time to think about a question, that is, why did he cross?

and

What happened to the world before the time-travel?

How long has it been there?

Has your original existence disappeared, or has it remained there in some form?

Are Mom and Dad okay?

Will I have a chance to go back in the future?

If so, how will he choose?

Do you stay here, or do you want to go back there?

If one day, that moment of choice really comes, which side is true and which side is false for him?

Qi Ling found that Su Mo was suddenly silent, and keenly noticed something unusual: "What's wrong?" Got something on your mind? ”

Su Mo whispered, "Qi Ling, I'll test you a question." ”

Qi Ling: "You say." ”

Su Mo: "Haven't you been playing games with KK and them once in a while, so let me ask you - if you wake up one day and find yourself in the game world. ”

"That world is very interesting, much more interesting than reality, there are all kinds of fun and exciting things every day, and I also meet a lot of important people."

"But then one day you find out that the game world is actually fake, it's just a dream you had, and your friends and family are waiting for you to wake up in reality."

"At this time, if the choice is yours. Will you stay in a fake place, or will you go back to the real world? ”

Qi Ling lowered his head slightly, thoughtfully, and said after a long time: "Your question is quite difficult to answer. Because from the subjective point of view of me, who has witnessed it, there is no such thing as truth or falsehood. ”

"In that so-called game world, I invested in real feelings and had a life of my own. Even if it is objectively false, it is still true to me. ”

"So, I'm not choosing between two worlds, one false and one true, I'm facing two real worlds."

After hearing this, Su Mo couldn't help but wonder: "It makes sense, you are right. That's still the same question, if you had to make a choice, which side would you stay on? ”

Qi Ling: "It depends, I must stay on whichever side I prefer." If there are no important people in reality, then why should I go back? ”

Su Mo asked deeply, "But what if there are people on both sides who are important to you?" ”

This question sent Qi Ling into a long contemplation.

Su Mo didn't rush, and walked side by side with her, letting her reverie.

I don't know how long it took, Su Mo felt his arm being hugged.

Qi Ling pressed his little head on his arm, closed his eyes and whispered, "Where you are, I will choose" (end of this chapter)
