After leaving the hospital, Ji Ning was dragged into a taxi by Huo Wuling. Huo Wuling said the name of a restaurant, and the driver drove them to the designated place, but when they got off, they didn't see the restaurant. restaurant.

"What's the matter?" Ji Ning looked around, "Did the driver find the wrong place?"

"Maybe he just stopped near the restaurant." Huo Wuling said, "Let's look for it."

But they turned around and still couldn't find the restaurant. Ji Ning opened the navigation and compared it with the map, but was surprised to find that the buildings and buildings here did not match the navigation map at all. The map seemed to be out of order. big question.

"The truth is," Huo Wuling laughed, "We seem to be lost."

Did they get lost? Can this also get lost?

Ji Ning showed an unacceptable expression and looked at the surrounding environment.

From the beginning, he felt that this place was a bit strange. The surrounding buildings did not match each other, full of incongruity. On the left side of the road was a modern office building, but next to it was an old shop with a narrow small The alley stretches away, and at the end of the alley is a large lake.

"Let's ask someone..."

He said not so confidently, he walked towards a passing person, but when he saw him approaching, that person immediately waved his hand and avoided him from a distance, and it was not only this person, Ji Ning met next time. The passers-by all reacted in this way.

"This place is too strange." Ji Ning turned to look at Huo Wuling, a little scared, "What should we do?"

The navigation was wrong and passersby ignored him, so he could only go to the store and ask. If it didn't work, he could only want to call the police. However, two grown men had to ask the police for help if they got lost. Don't want to use this last method.

Compared with him, Huo Wuling still seemed calm, as if he didn't notice the abnormality around him at all, and said with a smile, "Just wander around, you can always go out."

"Why are you so calm..." Ji Ning whispered.

"Because it doesn't matter what happens." Huo Wuling smiled, "It would be nice to be with you."

Huo Wuling has always been very good at talking, and when Ji Ning heard it, it was very comfortable, and even the uneasiness in his heart was comforted. The two walked around the street, only to find that the shops on the street were either closed or empty. There was steaming hot food on the restaurant table, but it was quiet, not even a clerk.

This scene made Ji Ning immediately think of many horror stories, and she couldn't help but feel horrified. Even if she felt hungry because she didn't eat lunch, she didn't dare to touch the food, and dragged Huo Wuling and slipped out.

It was still in the afternoon, but the sky was overcast, like it was going to rain, and even the light was dim, as if at night, the street lamps turned on one by one.

Ji Ning's scalp was numb, and she didn't care about her face anymore, she said to Huo Wuling, "No, I think we have to call the police, otherwise I always feel like we can't get out of here."

"Is it useful?" Huo Wuling still said lightly, "If I accompany you, would you be afraid too?"

"I'm afraid." Ji Ning said decisively.

"Don't be afraid." Huo Wuling smiled again, reached out and rubbed his hair, his voice was much lighter, "This is not a supernatural phenomenon, it is just because you are about to wake up, it will become more and more abnormal."

"What?" Ji Ning didn't hear the second half of Huo Wuling's words.

"It's nothing." Huo Wuling said, "Since you want to leave, then—" At this moment, his voice suddenly stopped, his eyes stared straight behind Ji Ning, and he didn't look away for a long time.

Ji Ning turned around nervously, followed Huo Wuling's line of sight, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

He thought that Huo Wuling saw something terrible, but in fact he was just looking at a grocery store, did he need to put on such a strange expression?

From Ji Ning's point of view, there was nothing weird about this grocery store, but it was beautifully decorated, with brightly colored signs, wind chimes hanging on the open door, and the large windows were spotless, and you could see inside through the glass. The place was full, and there was a soothing singing voice.

Huo Wuling stared at the grocery store for a while, then suddenly walked straight in.

Ji Ning followed behind him and walked into the store. Although there was a lot of stuff, it didn't look cluttered. The weather was bad outside. The lights were turned on in the store, and the dim light was shining down. There was a record player in the corner. Stopping the rotation is the source of the singing.

...seems a little familiar?

He suddenly had such a feeling, but in the end it came down to a sense of sight.

Just like other shops, there is no one here. Ji Ning still didn't understand why Huo Wuling came here, when he saw Huo Wuling go straight to the back of the counter, went to the door behind the counter, and opened it. Inside the refrigerator, rummaged through it at will.

"How can you touch other people's things?"

Ji Ning was startled, and immediately wanted to stop Huo Wuling, otherwise they would be treated as thieves.

"It's okay, this is my home."

Huo Wuling rummaged through the refrigerator and found some vegetables and a few eggs, and looked back at Ji Ning with a smile: "Are you hungry? I'll cook for you."

"This is your house?" Ji Ning was amazed. His first reaction was that the restaurant Huo Wuling said was his house.

But it doesn't make sense why people outside are so weird. He doesn't think Huo Wuling can make those people cooperate with him, and he wants to invite him over.

But he was relieved. Since this is Huo Wuling's house, there is no problem. It really doesn't work. They will stay here for the night. Anyway, there will be no class tomorrow morning.

"Well, it's my house."

Huo Wuling responded with a smile. Without saying anything else, she took out the apron from the cabinet and put it on. Ji Ning looked fresh, put her doubts behind her, and asked jokingly, "You still cook?"

"I live by myself, of course I have to learn to cook." Huo Wuling said, breaking the eggs into a bowl.

"Just yourself?" Ji Ning was startled, "Are you saying that you live alone at home? Where is your family?"

"My parents died when I was born. My adoptive father took me in, but he died later, and I have been alone since then." Huo Wuling said.

"I'm sorry..." Hearing Huo Wuling's words, Ji Ning felt both distressed and guilty. He felt as if he had touched a secret that should not have been touched. This must be the pain in Huo Wuling's heart, just as Jiang Che felt himself in general.

"It doesn't matter, it's been many years, I don't care." Huo Wuling laughed, "I'll cook egg noodles for you, I remember you like it very much?"

While Huo Wuling was cooking, the gloomy day finally began to rain.

While Ji Ning gave Huo Wuling a simple fight, he thought to himself, fortunately they have already arrived home, otherwise they would have been exposed to the rain. He would rather be exposed to the rain outside than enter those weird storefronts.

"It's raining again."

Huo Wuling glanced out the window, said casually, took the boiled egg noodles and stir-fried vegetables out of the kitchen and put them on the table outside.

Ji Ning closed the open door by the way, and sat down with Huo Wuling to eat noodles. When the meal was almost done, Huo Wuling put down his chopsticks and suddenly showed a sly smile, pointing at the indistinct stains on the sofa and said : "Do you know what trace this is?"

"I don't know..." Ji Ning ate the noodles and said vaguely, Huo Wuling's cooking skills are really very good, he has eaten two bowls.

"It's my adoptive father's blood." Huo Wuling said, "Our store was robbed, and he was killed by the robber on this sofa."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Ji Ning was choked immediately, coughed violently, and stood up from the sofa, her face red and white, half choked, half scared.

He didn't know what to say, because when he said these words, Huo Wuling's expression was still calm, he seemed to be used to it, he even smiled and said, "That's why I said... A happy thing."

Ji Ning wiped his mouth and sat on the chair beside him. He looked at Huo Wuling's calmness. His mood was extremely complicated, but he was more distressed. Huo Wuling may have lived alone in this shop for many years before that.

"I told you before, but you certainly don't remember now."

Huo Wuling smiled, as if talking to himself, just as Ji Ning wanted to refute, he must have never heard Huo Wuling mention it before, and then heard Huo Wuling continue.

"From childhood to adulthood, none of the people close to me can live to the end of their lives."

"I can't see them getting old, and I can't see myself getting old."

"It's like you can't see what Jiang Che will look like decades later, because he's already dead."

"It's the same for me, Ningning. It's a pity I can't keep watching you grow old."

In an instant, Ji Ning's heart seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand. He didn't think it was Huo Wuling who was cursing him, because he remembered that when he was in the hospital, Huo Wuling told him with a smile. , can be when he is dying.

What happened to Huo Wuling...

"What," he resisted the huge fear and unease in his heart, reluctantly joking, and testing Huo Wuling, "Do you still want to break up with me?"

"How come, I like you the most, and I only like you." Huo Wuling smiled, "But there is really no way."

"Wow..."

Huo Wuling lowered his eyes, the sound of rain outside the window continued, Ji Ning walked over in a panic and held Huo Wuling's hand, only to find that his hand was very cold.

"Don't talk nonsense all day, don't you just want to see me grow old? I can show you now."

Ji Ning was so flustered that he immediately downloaded an app on the Internet. It was a beauty camera. He watched the girls in the class use it. There were many filters in it.

After downloading, he opened the program, found a filter called "Seventy Years Old", brought his mobile phone to Huo Wuling, and let them both be included in the selfie mode.

Suddenly, two old faces appeared on the screen, their faces were wrinkled and their hair became gray and mottled, just like Huo Wuling and Ji Ning in their seventies.

"This is how we grow old."

Ji Ning watched Huo Wuling seriously.

"You'll be fine, and I'll be fine. We'll all live to seventy years old, and we'll live longer. Eighty-nine is not a problem."

"At that time, we will meet often. If you can't walk, I will go to your house to find you. If I can't walk, you will come to me."

"If we can't walk anymore, let someone push our wheelchair to meet."

"..."

Huo Wuling didn't speak, but his eyes slowly turned red.

He stared at the old faces of himself and Ji Ning in the camera for a long time, his shoulders trembled slightly, suddenly he raised his hand to cover his eyes, lowered his head, and tears slowly flowed down his face.

The sound of the rain outside the window is getting quieter, the weather is clear, and the dark clouds have dissipated.

The afterglow of the setting sun came in from the window, and the brilliance filled the room, blooming with gentle rays of light.

"Ding bell... ding bell..."

Suddenly the store door was pushed open, and the hanging wind chimes made a jingling sound.

At this moment, some images suddenly appeared in Ji Ning's mind.

It was also a rainy day. It was a cold rainy night. The two of them stayed here. He felt cold. Huo Wuling closed the store door. He asked Huo Wuling why the store door was always open. In the dark street, he answered in a low voice——

Because I am waiting for other guests.

I hope to see something I want to see, but maybe...I can never wait.

"Jingle, jingle..."

The wind chimes kept ringing, and Ji Ning turned her head to look at the store door that was pushed open. Under the warm orange sunset light, the two old men walked in, supporting each other.

Their expressions were serene, with a slight smile on their faces, and their brows were astonishingly like the old Huo Wuling and Ji Ning in the shot just now, they were seventy-year-olds.

This might have been a terrifying scene, but at this moment, Ji Ning had no fear in his heart, instead, he was inexplicably sad. Looking at Huo Wuling, he blurted out his debut.

"Are they the guests you're waiting for?"

"Yes……"

Huo Wuling looked at the two figures, with tears on his face, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised.

"That's all my fantasies."

"Even as we age, we can still rely on each other to go where we want to go and do what we want to do."

"We'll grow old together, go back to our common home, never be apart, never be alone."

"This is my wish, and it is also 'his' wish..."

"I want to accompany you to grow old, Ningning, but it's impossible, and it will never happen."

He closed his eyes, and as his voice fell, the two old figures suddenly dispersed, and the world outside the window began to collapse and shatter, intertwined, and the false and rich colors were fading.

A large number of images flooded into Ji Ning's mind. He recalled everything in the past and all the experiences he had spent with everyone. He suddenly realized that he had also been trapped in an illusion, but this time it was the one who knew the truth. Huo Wuling and them.

"What the hell is going on? Why did the world suddenly collapse? What will happen to us?"

Ji Ning grabbed Huo Wuling's hand and asked anxiously, Huo Wuling laughed and said.

"You are about to wake up, and this false world will collapse as you wake up."

"When you wake up, you will return to your original world, you must be very happy?"

"It's time to say goodbye."

"Where will you go after this world collapses?"

Ji Ning was extremely flustered, he heard Huo Wuling's words with a decisive meaning, it sounded like he was about to die.

What about those people before? Where are they, where are they, like Huo Wuling, might they just disappear?

The whole world was shaking. The items of the grocery store fell from the display racks and smashed one after another. However, in this horror like the end of the world, Huo Wuling always kept a smile and touched Ji Ning. s face.

"Goodbye, Ningning."

The illusory sky spread cracks, revealing the darkness outside, Ji Ning shook his head palely, no... no, no, no, how can it end like this?

The future...the future! are you there? !

In his heart, he called for the system that belonged to him: what happened to this world? What can I do to stop its destruction?

[The destruction of the world cannot be stopped, but you can save him, teacher. 】

A voice appeared in Ji Ning's consciousness, but it was not the future, but Lai's voice.

【If you want to save him, you must kiss him, this is your last chance. 】

After saying these words, there were no other voices. At this time, Ji Ning couldn't care about why Lai was talking to him. He could only believe it, and desperately threw himself into Huo Wuling's arms. Pretending to kiss him.

"No, Ningning."

Huo Wuling, however, noticed what he was going to do first, and pushed Ji Ning's shoulder away with a smile, preventing him from getting close to him: "You can't kiss me now... Ningning?"

He suddenly showed a look of confusion, because he saw tears welling in Ji Ning's eyes.

"You don't want to die..." Ji Ning choked, her voice almost broken, "I don't want you to die..."

"Ningning..."

Huo Wuling sighed softly, took him into his arms, stroked his hair, and said, "I don't want to be Jiang Che, I am myself, not to mention it is useless to be him, he is already dead, I can't accompany you until you grow old, so why should I—"

At this moment, he was suddenly pushed from behind, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and Ji Ning also took the opportunity to raise his head, raised his face and kissed Huo Wuling's lips.

"Finally caught up."

Standing behind Huo Wuling, Lai said with a smile and withdrew his hand.

Huo Wuling separated from Ji Ning, raised his hand to caress his lips, turned to look at Lai, and said with narrowed eyes, "Even so, I will not merge with you. The big deal is that I can destroy myself."

"You really want to give up?" Lai raised his lips, "How do you know that Jiang Che can't be resurrected? Can't accompany the teacher until he grows old?"

"Try it, if it doesn't work, then it's not too late for you to self-destruct."

He showed a strange smile, watched Huo Wuling's figure fade, and then moved his gaze to Ji Ning's body, reached out to hold Ji Ning's hand, and placed a kiss on the back of his hand.

"Teacher, it's the kiss I gave you in the end."

"Crack-"

The world was completely shattered, and the terminal controlled by Lai also turned into powder, making it impossible to simulate a new virtual world.

"Ultimate Chaos"

Ji Ning opened his eyes in the darkness of consciousness, slowly sat up, and saw figures surrounding him. They were all the "protagonists of the novel", including Huo Wuling and Lai. The person in the middle is impressively——

"...Jiang Che?"

He suddenly called out the name that had accompanied him for many years, his eyes full of disbelief.

Sure enough, he did not see it wrong in that false world, it turned out to be really Jiang Che, it was really him!

The future walked in front of him, half-kneeled, the handsome face that lacked expression and had a strong inhuman feeling showed a faint smile for the first time, held his hand, and said.

"Perhaps you can also call me 'future'."

"Congratulations, Ji Ning, your surgery is over, and your mission is also over. You are about to return to the real world."

Wait, he's the future? Is the system the future? But why does he have the same face as Jiang Che? And what do you mean by surgery?

Too many questions were still lingering in Ji Ning's heart. For a while, he didn't think about what he should ask first, but before he could open his mouth, the figure of the future disappeared in an instant, turning into a spot of light.

Ji Ning stretched out his hand subconsciously, and the next moment, the others turned into spots of light, lighting up the darkness.

Countless dots of light surrounded Ji Ning and merged into his body, allowing him to see many memories.

He saw the memory of the future. He was a medical system transformed from Jiang Che's thinking after Jiang Che died. During the treatment process, the thinking of the future separated and turned into the protagonists he met.

The future is consistent with Jiang Che's appearance, and what he represents is Jiang Che's identity.

Gu Chen represents Jiang Che's soul. Among all people, his character is the most similar to Jiang Che.

Ark represents Jiang Che's first love. The person he likes is Ji Ning. The budding of this relationship has already begun at a very young age.

Herinos represented Jiang Che, who had just realized that he liked Ji Ning. He was Jiang Che's inner conflict and struggle, but he was also eager for Ji Ning's hope of falling in love with him.

Ying Qianqiu represents the best time of Ji Ning and Jiang Che when they were young, and Jiang Che's most passionate love for Ji Ning.

What Ozer represented was taboo. As Jiang Che got older, he had many concerns in his heart, but his heart for Ji Ning never changed.

What Zhou Rin represents is the contradiction between Jiang Che's forbearance and love amid such concerns.

Yun Yuan was Jiang Che's unwillingness and obsession.

Lai is Jiang Che's desire.

Qin Ruwang symbolizes the company of Jiang Che and Ji Ning for more than ten years.

Huo Wuling is the infinite regret after Jiang Che's car accident, and Jiang Che's desire to accompany Ji Ning until his old age.

And from the beginning to the end, Jiang Che hoped that everything would be fine for Ji Ning, and that was the part that Fu Qinghan represented.

When they gathered together, they were Jiang Che, the complete Jiang Che, and Jiang Che's love for Ji Ning.

The boundless emotions were surging and turbulent, like a vast and boundless ocean of fury, but in the end it turned into the softest spring water, gently soaking Ji Ning.

"They" loved him.

He loves him.

Jiang Che loved Ji Ning.

...

Ji Ning opened her eyes.

The operation ended successfully.

...

During his recovery in the hospital, Ji Ning had repeatedly requested the control center of the "Future" system to have a conversation with Jiang Che, who became the center of the "Future" system. Make contacts to avoid irreversible effects on the system.

Ji Ning was very sad. Every day his emotions alternated between excitement and loss. He was happy that Jiang Che hadn't completely died, but he was extremely tormented, because even if Jiang Che hadn't died, he couldn't have a conversation.

In the past twenty years, he never knew that Jiang Che had such deep feelings for him.

And they...

He won't be able to see them again...

On the day he was discharged from the hospital, all of Ji Ning and Jiang Che's family were present to welcome Ji Ning. Jiang Che's family was also very happy about Ji Ning's escape from the accident. For so many years, they had long regarded Ji Ning as another child of their own.

Seeing that he could recover and be discharged from the hospital, Ji Ning should have been happy, but thinking of Jiang Che who was still in the hospital, Ji Ning didn't want to leave. He even wanted to create another accident and damage his brain. He could see Jiang Che again.

But Jining knew that this idea was unrealistic, and he couldn't risk his own life.

When he thought he was on a mission, his biggest obsession was to go back to his family, because he knew how heart-wrenching it was to lose a loved one, and he couldn't let his family suffer the same way .

"By the way, we also received a 'surprise gift' recently. As a celebration of your recovery and discharge, we have put this 'gift' in your room."

On the way back, Ji Ning's parents talked to Ji Ning like this. His sister, brother-in-law and Jiang Che's parents were all smiling. It could be seen that they were all very happy and seemed to be looking forward to Ji Ning. Reaction when seeing a gift.

Ji Ning's little niece couldn't help but said, "Uncle, let me tell you, the gift is Jiang—"

"Shh, don't say it, didn't you make an appointment with your mother and ask your uncle to 'open the gift' in person."

The elder sister quickly covered her daughter's mouth. The little girl blinked, nodded obediently, and quickly raised her little hand to cover her mouth.

The group returned to Ji Ning's villa. As soon as they entered the living room, everyone urged Ji Ning to hurry into his room to see what surprises were waiting for him.

Being urged like this by the two family members, Ji Ning had a bit of a bad mood instead. First, he drank a glass of water and washed an apple. He nibbled on the apple and walked upstairs. He, he could even hold on for a few more minutes.

"Don't deliberately hang our appetites again." My sister smiled and nodded his forehead, "Otherwise, you must be the one who regrets it."

"Really?" Ji Ning was noncommittal, and went upstairs with the apple, pretending to not care much, "Then I'll go take a look, what if I'm not satisfied with the gift?"

"You can't be dissatisfied."

Regarding this point, everyone's tone was extremely determined, making Ji Ning puzzled, but at the same time, he couldn't help but really have extremely high expectations, and was extremely curious about what they had prepared for him.

But he can't be too excited. According to the family's habit, he may have installed a hidden camera in his bedroom just to capture his gaffe when he saw the gift...

Ji Ning bit the apple and opened the door with a pretense of indifference. However, when he saw the "gift" in the bedroom, the figure sitting quietly on his bed suddenly lost his temper. The apple in his hand fell with a "thump". He came down and rolled several times on the ground.

"Jiang……"

For several seconds, Ji Ning couldn't even find his own voice, his brain was dizzy, his eyes instantly became sore and swollen, tears blurred his vision.

is this real?

Is it really not his hallucination?

The person who appeared in front of him was really... Jiang Che...

"Are you satisfied with this surprise?"

The young man in the room slowly got up, with a smile in his eyes, spread his slender legs, took a few steps, and came to Ji Ning.

Because of the excitement and unbelievable ecstasy, Ji Ning's face turned red, and his whole body was shaking. The handsome man smiled and held up his hot face, gently wiped away the tears that burst out of him, and then violently He took the man into his arms, and his arms were extremely tight, as if he wanted to integrate him into his own blood.

"Finally see you again, Ji Ning."

"I won't leave you this time."

"We will grow old together."
