Rubik's Cube Seven Days Dream

"Brother. Have you really thought it through?"

"Well. This time, I hope you can respect my decision."

Tick-tick-tick-the second hand climbed slowly, and then pointed to the apex.At the same time, the three of them suddenly became short of breath, and the oxygen content in the glass cover was dropping rapidly.

Zhou Xuerong was already riddled with wounds, and he was the first to fall down. At this moment, the glass cover slowly rose, fresh air poured in instantly, and the three of them breathed smoothly.

"Have you decided?" Olivia asked with a playful smile.

Ye Jiawen sat slumped on the ground, she just felt at a loss.She didn't want to die, but she didn't know how to live, but she felt scared when she thought that she would be pushed out to die without even a chance to choose.

Xu Minglang nodded.

"We decided to let Xiaoye live."

Ye Jiawen stood there dumbfounded.

Olivia's expression was ugly.

"Think clearly, there is only one chance."

"I don't want to be in my [-]s and [-]s and have to worry about being a survivor of a certain battle royale. I will be depressed for the rest of my life in unpleasant memories. Instead of this, I might as well die in love, just to sublimate this epic love story between us. " Xu Minglang was very relaxed when he said these words, as if once a person has determined his own ending, he will move forward bravely, even if the person standing opposite is a wicked witch who does all kinds of evil, he doesn't feel afraid anymore.

Zhou Xuerong squeezed his hand, and only then did he regain his sense of reality from this strange ease.

He looked at the dumbfounded Ye Jiawen, and his tone became serious: "What I said just now was from the bottom of my heart. After you get out of here, live according to your own appearance, and don't feel that you owe us anything."

"I know you have had a hard time since you were a child. There is a saying that 'the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold', I think it fits you well. You are a brave girl, as long as you live, you will be able to live the life you want. So Ah, you have to seize the opportunity and live a wonderful life. Xiaoxue and I will protect you below, and whoever blocks you, we will kill him."

Ye Jiawen was crying so hard that she couldn't make a sound.She shook her head and repeated "it's not like that", but when she saw that the expressions of the two didn't look like they were joking at all, she realized that she was wrong.

She wants to tell Xu Minglang that she is not as brave as he said, she is afraid to live with these memories alone, afraid that every day and night in the future will not be able to erase everything she has experienced.

"I kept her because I wanted to ask her to pass on a message, and to be a smoke bomb to disturb you. You two are lucky, because of such a small role, you have wasted a hard-won opportunity." Olivia continued Turning to Ye Jiawen, she said, "But when I look at this girl, I don't seem to appreciate it."

Ye Jiawen was burdened with so many conflicts that she knelt on the ground when she heard this sentence. She regained her tone from the broken cry and begged Olivia: "I beg you, let them all live , they are all very good people..."

Zhou Xuerong interrupted her coldly: "The devil will never learn to repent."

Olivia didn't know what kind of plan she had. She rolled her icy blue eyes, lifted Ye Jiawen's chin and said, "It's not because you don't have enough chips to push like this. That's good, I can not only let one person Having the right to live can also allow her to realize a wish."

Ye Jiawen's eyes widened, tears drying up on her cheeks.

"I like your reaction, it's just like a standard human being." Olivia's laughter was as clear as a silver bell, and she added, "Anything you want is fine."

Ye Jiawen stood up expressionlessly, and her gaze became firm as she watched Olivia.

"Okay. I accept."

Olivia smiled contemptuously at Xu Minglang, as if to say, "Look, this is the girl you gave up your life to save."

Xu Minglang was very calm.In any case, it was impossible for him to let Zhou Xuerong die alone, so giving the opportunity to anyone is the same, not to mention that Ye Jiawen is still young, but has more courage than a boy, he has seen it along the way.It's a good thing that Ye Jiawen can accept it.

"So, what is your wish?"

"I want the world to return to the way it was before you changed it."

Olivia's smile froze.

So Ye Jiawen repeated again: "I want you to restore the world to the way it was before you disrupted it. I want everyone to be able to live, even if our lives are ordinary and insignificant, even if we are weak and selfish, but at least that It's our real life."

"I have only one wish."

Olivia combed the fur of the rabbit doll in her arms expressionlessly, making it completely unclear what she was thinking.Xu Minglang was worried that what Ye Jiawen said just now would offend Olivia. After all, this girl has a paradoxical temper and is capricious. Once she is offended, she may not be able to live alone.

Ye Jiawen's heart was pounding, but she had said everything, and it was considered a last-ditch effort, so she looked back with her chest puffed out.

Unexpectedly, Olivia agreed.

"I can't tell that you, a little girl, are quite smart and know how to take advantage of loopholes."

"Okay. I always keep my word. Since I made the promise, of course I will fulfill it."

Olivia looked in the direction of Xu Minglang and Zhou Xuerong and said, "You guys are lucky. You can go back after the 64th game."

Xu Minglang went to look at Zhou Xuerong's face, and found that his face was full of astonishment, his eyes were bright, and there seemed to be tears.

He took that big, wet hand.

64 desperate battles, 63 repeated deaths, only one person bears all the memories, staggering forward in the endless white world.

And now, it's finally coming to an end.

Xu Minglang was so excited that he trembled all over. Seeing Ye Jiawen was so happy that he couldn't stand up, he grinned at him, tears rolling down his face.Then he was pulled into an embrace, without any extra words, he could only feel the trembling of Zhou Xuerong's body, and the faint weeping in his ears.

His vision was gradually engulfed by the melting light. At the last moment in his memory, he saw Olivia looking at him expressionlessly, and then smiled slowly.

Professor Kang glanced at his watch and said, "So, you think a little girl created this world?"

"She's a witch."

After Xu Minglang finished speaking, the police officer at the back desk who took notes showed a sarcastic smile.

Professor Kang looked normal, and said again: "You have talked so much, but you still haven't said why you killed the salesman. According to what you just said, your story should be over."

"No." Xu Minglang said, "The truly terrifying dream has only just begun."

"That's why you think that you are also in a dream now?"

Xu Minglang didn't answer this question immediately, but continued.

"I was surrounded by white light, and I lost consciousness before I knew it. When I opened my eyes again, there was Xiaoxue lying next to me. I went down to the ground and opened the curtains. The sun outside was just right, the leaves were colorful, and there was no heavy snow to seal the city..."

......

...

Xu Minglang stood in front of the window, wrapping his fingers around the beams of light in the air, wanting to feel the true temperature of the sun.

Zhou Xuerong on the bed also woke up at some point, and hugged Xu Minglang from behind, rubbing hands with him.

Xu Minglang looked around and found that the room he was sitting in was not a cheap rental house in the suburbs, but a bright and spacious apartment.The room was well-organized, even the food in the refrigerator was orderly and intact, it looked like Zhou Xuerong's handwriting.He even has a separate room as a studio. There is a complete set of MIDI equipment on the brass and solid wood computer desk. He loves to touch the keys, and he can't believe that these belong to him.

"These are originally yours." Zhou Xuerong leaned against the door frame, "This is the life that originally belonged to you and me."

On the world line that has not been disrupted, Xu Minglang has already signed a contract with the company. His single "Together" has caused a lot of repercussions on the Internet. His name has suddenly entered the public's field of vision. Some TV stations even invited him Participating in the program, the company also contacted him for the OST of an urban drama. Who would have thought that before the song was produced, he would be reversed, his memory would be erased, and he would be thrown into a strange world.

Thinking of this, he couldn't stop being in a daze, the days of living in the small rental house with Xue Yingying were as distant as a dream.He touched the keys, thinking that Xue Yingying in this world was already dead.

"Let's take a look at her when you have time." Zhou Xuerong said.

Xu Minglang suspects that he can read minds at all, but he ignores that there is a tacit understanding between lovers, let alone when they grew up.

"sorry."

This sentence is not only for what Zhou Xuerong has done for him, but also contains his apology.He recalled the days after Xue Yingying's death. He got drunk every day, but he ignored that Zhou Xuerong would also be sad. His self-abandonment was just another knife in Zhou Xuerong's heart, making him feel loved when he lost his friend. The pain of hurt.

Zhou Xuerong shook his head and replied, "It's all over."

yes.It's in the past.

Consider that experience in that snowy world as a nightmare.

The two spent two days sleeping, and the first thing they did after recovering enough energy was to go to the hospital.While memories can fade over time, scars do not.

When Zhou Xuerong took off his clothes, revealing the scars all over his body, as well as the traces of rough sutures with cotton thread, the doctor was surprised and looked at Xu Minglang suspiciously, thinking that he had been abused.

After some examination, both of them had different degrees of concussions, soft tissue contusions, and bone fractures.Zhou Xuerong was more serious. The hand he used to block the knife was almost pierced. The doctor took a look at it and asked Xu Minglang with blame why he brought him for treatment earlier. Xu Minglang knew how important hands are to a sculptor. Hearing this, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly asked the doctor if he could be cured.

The doctor asked Zhou Xuerong to try to make a fist. After seeing it, he said that he was lucky. The median nerve, but the local tissue in the palm may heal and form adhesions. Complete recovery depends on rehabilitation training.

Xu Minglang told the doctor that Zhou Xuerong was doing sculpture work, and asked him to heal his hand, but the doctor was very helpless, and reminded the two that there was a certain chance that this hand would not be able to do precision work.

Xu Minglang panicked immediately, he didn't know how he got out of the department, but Zhou Xuerong kept comforting him, saying that the doctor's words were always serious, as long as he cooperates with the treatment, he will definitely recover.

Xu Minglang asked again, what if his hands could no longer make sculptures.

Zhou Xuerong laughed. He said that he chose to take the Academy of Fine Arts at the beginning because he wanted to be a person with aspirations like Xu Minglang.

Xu Minglang felt even more sad when he heard it.

He knows Zhou Xuerong's works, art is interlinked, of course he knows what kind of enthusiasm Zhou Xuerong has for his works.He said that just to comfort himself.

Zhou Xuerong stood at the bottom of the steps, the sun dazzled so much that his eyeballs were bright yellow, he turned his head and asked Xu Minglang who was standing in the shadow.

"What if I really can't make good works with my hands and can't make money?"

Xu Minglang didn't respond for a while.

"Will brother support me?"

Xu Minglang looked at Zhou Xuerong's playful smile, but there was firm tenderness in his gaze.

"I support you. For a lifetime."
