Falling In Love With The Grim Reaper

Chi Jiayan stumbled back home.

He was devastated, he bumped into countless people on the road, he didn't pay attention to any traffic lights, and miraculously arrived home safely.

He knew that he would not die on the road for no reason anyway, his fate had already been written.

After closing the door, Chi Jiayan leaned against the door panel and lost all his strength.

He really hoped that what happened just now had never happened. He had better have had a dream, or had hallucinations because of a concussion.

But the small bottle in his hand was truly reminding him that it was not a dream.

Chi Jiayan had never been so desperate.

He thought that they had waited until the day when the cycle was restarted. According to Ling Xiao, as long as Ling Xiao appeared in the playground again, he would give his memory to Ling Xiao and stop following the story line of fate, and the nodes would be overwritten naturally. , the cycle is thus broken.

He has always been convinced.

It was this belief that sustained him for nine years.

Finally, at the age of 27, he and himself on the node began to merge into one because of a fall, but found that it was just another cycle.

A small loop encloses a large loop.

He fell in love with Death God 99 times in the small cycle, and each time he completed the mission and awakened, he chose to restart the cycle, trying to save Death and break the cycle.For the hundredth time, they finally found a loophole with Reaper. They decided to keep the memory of Reaper, and wait until the day when the 27-year-old cycle starts.Who knew that this was actually another bigger cycle!

To put it simply, it is their so-called method of retaining memory covering nodes, which has been experienced 99 times in the big cycle.

They never escaped the palm of fate at all.

How the hell is this playing? !

Chi Jiayan hammered the door panel hard, his headache was about to split, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

Why cry!

He slapped himself, what's the use of crying? !

Now, Chi Jiayan doesn't want to do anything.

For several days in a row, he lay motionless in bed without eating or drinking.

Anyway, everything will restart indefinitely, he just starves to death...it doesn't matter.

When everything was about to return to nothing, he seemed to think of the voice of Death in a daze next to his ears.

……

"This time, you have to live well for me. When we meet next time, you have to be responsible for returning the memory to me."

……

"Listen to me this time." The voice was hoarse at the end, "The only thing you need to do is go to the playground to find yourself, and wait for me."

……

"Hold on and wait for me when you are 27 years old."

……

"I'll be there again."

—Yes, the Grim Reaper will appear again.

Chi Jiayan opened his eyes, and the small crystal bottle beside the pillow shone with golden light.

He has waited for too long, and the living are no better than the dead. After all these years, he has endured all kinds of hardships.

So what if it is the palm of the hand that cannot escape fate?

Touching the mineral water bottle on the bedside table, Chi Jiayan took a lot of effort to unscrew the cap. He drank half of the bottle in one go, and part of the water choked into the trachea, causing him to cough for a long time.

After slowing down for a long time, he finally had some strength, and he grinned.

He still wants to see Ling Xiao! !

He can't die yet!

-

He Kangcheng fixed the time for Chi Jiayan to visit the playground.

In fact, Chi Jiayan is not interested in these things at all, but He Kangcheng needs to perform the duties of a node npc and set the correct time for him.

He took the time to take care of himself, because he didn't want him to look sloppy when the god of death appeared.

You know, he was only when they separated, and now he is 27, and he is no longer the green and milky boy he used to be.

After finishing his hairstyle and changing into the carefully prepared clothes, Chi Jiayan carefully looked at himself in the mirror as if he was going on a first date.

Because he hasn't seen the sun all year round, his hair has been dyed chestnut color, so his skin looks very fair.

Because of growing up, those eyes are no longer as clear as they used to be, and there is a hint of sternness hidden in them.His facial features are more three-dimensional than before, but a little feminine.

After merging with himself in this timeline, he gained some habits that he didn't have before, such as dressing style, such as speaking behavior, but he didn't feel the slightest sense of disobedience.Now there are different memories in his mind at the same time, which makes his whole temperament seem a bit contradictory.

Chi Jiayan didn't know if the god of death also felt this way when they merged into one in the past.

At that time, Reaper also experienced short-term amnesia, but the reason was completely different from him...

It was made to save myself...

Speaking of pain, the god of death who is not aware of it every time in the cycle is the most painful.

He has to go through many difficult choices, from ruthless to sympathetic for a child he can't bear, it is a process of reshaping himself.

He is cold and powerful, never bothering to speak out about his suffering.

But he is also emotional, even at the last moment, he just bears silently.

Thinking of this, Chi Jiayan felt a pang in his heart.

He touched the small bottle hanging on his chest and closed his eyes.

The weather is fine today.

The laughter of the playground can still be heard at the door.

Chi Jiayan came very early. He didn't know when the god of death would come, and he didn't know what he should do. He only remembered that the god of death told him to come to the playground, so he was always very nervous.

Should he sit obediently on the chair at the entrance and wait?

No, what if the god of death appeared in other places riding the blue wind?

The Ferris wheel is turning, it is a big circle.

The merry-go-round is turning, which is also a big circle.

He turned around and found that the playground's squares, fountains, site divisions, and even the shops scattered around were all circular.

The arrangement of fate is really intentional.

Is this all hinting at their cycle?

Or, is it simply a ruthless mockery?

Chi Jiayan waited for a long, long time, but at noon, he still hadn't found that person.

In fact, deep down in his subconscious, he was really afraid, afraid that the god of death would not reappear at this so-called node, afraid that he had died in all timelines, afraid of everything he had worried about in the hospital for the past nine years All become reality!

Just thinking about it this way, under the scorching sun is enough for Chi Jiayan to break out in cold sweat.

A tall figure suddenly appeared in front of the cold drink shop not far away.

At that moment, Chi Jiayan's heartbeat almost stopped.

Until this moment, he could not suppress the definite sense of reality.

The man was extremely tall, about 1.9 meters tall at first glance, wearing a long black robe that was incompatible with this hot weather, but there was a chill all over his body.

His skin was pale, his eyebrows were so handsome that they were a little bit sharp, and his eyes were as cold as a millennium's frost.

Facing the curious gazes around him without squinting, he held a straw under his thin lips, and held a glass of lemon ice water with his slender fingers.

"Brother, why are you crying?" A little girl's voice came.

Chi Jiayan wiped his face subconsciously, and it turned out that the tentacles were full of cold liquid. He didn't know when he burst into tears. He was obviously very happy. He was very happy to see that person again. Why did he cry?

"I..." He didn't know how to explain that he was crying.

Encouraged by her mother, the little girl handed him a tissue: "Brother, don't cry, be brave."

"Thank you," he said.

The little girl was thanked and praised by her mother, and walked away happily.

That person didn't notice the little episode here, but squeezed into the crowd, took out a pale mask and put it on his face.

Those around him could no longer see him.

Except Chi Jiayan.

Chi Jiayan didn't dare to follow too closely.

He slowed down a little, but the parade that routinely performed in the playground broke through the crowd and came over.Some actors walked on stilts, some COS anime characters, some wore doll costumes, they brought joy wherever they went, and they danced, attracting the attention of all tourists.

The masked man was gone.

Chi Jiayan's heart beat wildly, and he subconsciously squeezed into the crowd, but was pushed down dissatisfied by a middle-aged woman in front of him: "Squeeze for what!"

Across a group of people, that pale mask appeared again.

Death was looking at him.

The woman's voice caught his attention.

Time seemed to stand still.

Chi Jiayan thought for a moment:

If they don't know each other from then on, won't the cycle stop?

If they have no intersection since then, can the god of death avoid the endless torment?

In the blink of an eye, Chi Jiayan felt a soreness in his nasal cavity and almost shed tears.

Right, that is it.

Why didn't he think of it before? !

He didn't seem to notice the gaze of the god of death, but suppressed his trembling voice, turned sideways and pretended to be shameless: "Auntie, you have such a big butt, so don't stand in the front row, it will affect my position and destroy my sight."

Don't look this way, brother.

I'm just a shameless villain, not worthy of your stop for me.

He tried his best to maintain a frivolous smile, but he didn't know that it made the middle-aged woman flush with anger.

"What are you talking about! You have no quality!"

Not daring to move his eyes even an inch towards the god of death, Chi Jiayan bit the bullet and said: "The anger in the morning is so big, is it because menopause has reached sex-life inconsistency?"

"You're insane!" the middle-aged woman cursed, slammed him with the bag in her hand, and immediately changed to another position.

Finally... Chi Jiayan breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned around, he found that he was being stared at by the god of death.

He stiffened.

He didn't dare to show that he could see the god of death, so he had to continue acting. God knows how much effort he took to not meet the god of death, but continued to perform calmly, cursing the woman's pants for tearing.

He knew that the god of death hated these indecent practices the most.

I don't know how long I stood there, but the parade went away.

The tourists gradually dispersed, and everyone around him left, only he was left standing where he was.

Death is gone.

Chi Jiayan wasn't sure if he was doing the right thing, he clearly wanted that person to leave, but when that person really left, he was in a trance again.

He pinched the small bottle on his chest and unconsciously shouted: "Brother..."

In a daze, he didn't know where he was, whether he was dreaming or waking up.

When he was called again, he realized that he had arrived at a gazebo with a cigarette still in his hand.

"Brother, this is a no-smoking area." The girl who looked like a student came up to remind her.

"Huh?" He smiled indifferently, revealing the dimples.

Yeah, what does that have to do with me.

The person who brought me the whole world is gone, why do I still care about these things?

When the girl was electrocuted by him, she retracted her finger pointing at the "No Smoking Here" sign on the wall, and her face turned red.Her boyfriend was right next to her. He might have been jealous when he saw this, so he got up and walked out without saying a word.

The girl came to her senses and looked at Chi Jiayan a few more times before chasing him out.

"The level of trust is so low, we'll break up sooner or later." Chi Jiayan exhaled smoke rings, talking to himself disapprovingly.

Just like this, she would get angry and leave. If Huo Xin slept with her in the same bed before... what would happen to the former god of death?

Anyway, it won't go away by itself.

A pregnant woman was also in the gazebo, presumably to play with her daughter, and the family of three was resting here.Her husband seemed rather cowardly, seeing no one stopped him, he had no choice but to say: "Handsome guy, please put out the cigarette, my wife is still pregnant."

Chi Jiayan didn't even look at him: "Don't worry. Anyway, your wife's birth is not a son. People who favor sons over daughters can't have sons."

The pregnant woman was out of breath: "Who do you think is patriarchal?"

Chi Jiayan smiled and said nothing, and continued to smoke.

Everyone in the gazebo had left.

There was a little pleasure in his heart.

Right, that is it!

Next, he didn't know what he did, he walked aimlessly in the playground.

He wanted to look at that person again, wanted to pounce on him and endow him with memories desperately, what did the cycle have to do with it, he just wanted to be with him!

He shouldn't be like a stranger like this, and never meet again in this life!

However, several times when he clearly noticed the unique frost and snow aura, he subconsciously hid, maybe he blended into the crowd, maybe he was pretending to quarrel with someone, he couldn't let himself be so selfish to provoke he!

Under this extreme contradiction that was upside down, evil thoughts continuously rose from his heart. It seemed that he had to do something that even he hated, in order to get a little bit of relief.

Destiny, don't you want to reincarnate?

I don't give it!

The author has something to say: the ending of the next chapter

It's time to reap the thread I've worked so hard to plant.
