The sunlight shines through the glass and falls into the ward with a brightness that has never been diminished by the gate of time.
The lonely figure of the girl was clearly reflected on the wall. There was no second person around, but she seemed to be embraced by second person.
The scene looked a little weird, but Xu Shiyue was not afraid at all.
Tears followed the sudden kiss, moistening her lips with a cool yet warm feeling. The familiar taste was like a rose that suddenly bloomed, instantly covering her throat.
The sunlight turned into a film of light and shadow, passing through Xu Shiyue's eyes frame by frame.
She could clearly feel the strength that was holding her tightly in his arms, and could also see Lu Shizhen's face as he held her in his arms.
The person who hugged her and kissed her was Lu Shizhen.
Her Lu Shizhen is back.
Lu Shizhen has seen many scenes of reunions after a long separation, and he would also be shocked by such surging scenes.
But she didn't understand why there was such a surge, and why she could "not help it" regardless of the occasion.
But she understood now.
There is no reason to truly reunite with someone you have been longing for. You just can't help it. You just want to hug the other person tightly, or even embed her into your body, making her a part of your body and never leaving again.
Any words that can be said at this time seem particularly deliberate.
For the first time, language seems so pale that only the most primitive actions can express this emotion.
Lu Shizhen hugged Xu Shiyue tightly just like she did the last time she was caught by Xu Shiyue.
The kiss was violent but extremely gentle.
The warmth and softness offset each other, and all the longing and love were rolled up and pushed into each other's bodies without any medium.
Xu Shiyue responded with the same strong flavor, spreading the familiar taste to the tip of Lu Shizhen's tongue, and then followed Lu Shizhen's rhythm to take her for himself.
The strong smell of disinfectant was gradually suppressed by the light fragrance. Lu Shizhen kissed Xu Shiyue unsatisfiedly, and inexplicably felt his body changing.
Her soul that had escaped from her body seemed to be covered with flesh and blood again. The sound of her heartbeat entangled with the sound of cicadas appeared doubled. Her heart was sticking to her chest, beating thump thump.
The sunlight could no longer penetrate Lu Shizhen's body, and the thin shadow completely obscured Xu Shiyue.
The interlocked hands became real, and the thin bones pressed against Xu Shiyue's fingers. She opened her eyes slightly and saw the person who had been sleeping for a long time was right in front of her, kissing her tenderly.
Another tear rolled down from the corner of Xu Shiyue's eyes.
A crystal clear kiss was placed on Lu Shizhen's lips.
Seeing this, Lu Shizhen paused for a moment, and looked down to see Xu Shiyue holding her face.
The man's straight brows concealed happiness and sadness, and he whispered to her, "I thought I was dreaming again."
Lu Shizhen felt as if his heart was twisted when he heard these words.
She leaned over and gently kissed Xu Shiyue's lips again, and asked softly: "Will I kiss you in my dream too?"
Xu Shiyue just looked at the person in her sight without denying it. She just said, "Teacher Sixteen is still the best kisser."
The midday sun shone brightly into Xu Shiyue's eyes, and her cold and calm eyes became deep.
The simple gaze turned into a loving gaze, and her fingers gently stroked Lu Shizhen's face, and then asked: "Does it hurt?"
Lu Shizhen shook his head and said honestly, "I'm just afraid."
She turned around and pointed at the corridor she had just walked through, and childishly complained to Xu Shiyue: "You know, he scared me when I was about to come over just now, making me think that after I went to your world, you would one day choose to give up on me, a disabled person."
At this point, the anger on Lu Shizhen's face changed into pride.
She stood on tiptoe and said proudly, "But it's good now. I'm standing up. He can't threaten me anymore!"
Cicadas hiding in the treetops were chirping tirelessly, and the ward, which had been silent for many days, finally became noisy again.
The jumping sounds struck Xu Shiyue's ears word by word, and she suddenly felt that summer was not so noisy after all.
It was actually this that made her feel alive.
Lu Shizhen was still complaining about that damn corridor, and Xu Shiyue hooked her hand and explained to her in a gentle tone: "Silly, that's not to scare you, it's a test given by the system to everyone who wants to go from one world to another."
When Lu Shizhen heard Xu Shiyue's words, he was stunned for a moment: "Test?"
Then she patted the guardrail at the end of the bed and breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be a test! I thought it was the ghost of the last brat who was still haunting us!"
As he said this, Lu Shizhen suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Xu Shiyue, slightly raising his head as if asking for praise: "But, I passed the test, am I amazing?"
"Of course, you are the best." Xu Shiyue did not hesitate to praise Lu Shizhen. He ran his fingers through her long hair and rubbed her head.
But after saying this, Lu Shizhen did not smile more brightly as usual. Instead, his expression became more serious: "But you are not the most powerful person."
When Xu Shiyue heard Lu Shizhen's words, she was stunned for a moment, and then she felt someone lifting her wrist.
Lu Shizhen put his hand around Xu Shiyue's wrist, not only did it do it easily, but he even had a finger's worth of space left to swing: "How come you've lost weight? You've lost a lot of weight."
Lu Shizhen noticed this when he came back just now, and it was even more obvious when they were kissing.
She looked at Xu Shiyue, who was originally thin, with heartache. Tears welled up in her eyes, which had been motionless just now. "Didn't we agree to be the strongest Black Moonlight? Didn't we agree not to let ourselves get hurt first when doing anything?"
Maybe it was because she had been holding it in for too long, but tears started to flow down Lu Shizhen's face like a flood. She felt so distressed: "How long have I been walking? How did you lose so much weight all of a sudden?"
"It's been two months." Xu Shiyue gently wiped away Lu Shizhen's tears, her voice gentle, "Do you know that it's already summer?"
Lu Shizhen was stunned for a moment, somewhat unbelievable.
"Lu Shizhen, do you know what 20250731 means?" Xu Shiyue asked softly, touching the hair by Lu Shizhen's ear.
Lu Shizhen had some impression and said, "Isn't that my number in the system?"
Xu Shiyue pursed her lips and corrected her: "That is the year and date when we met, which is also today's date, the last day of July."
The sunlight outside the window is bright and brilliant, overlapping with the day in my memory.
Lu Shizhen had never felt that fate was so wonderful. The hand that she was originally holding turned around and held her tightly, as if she was holding a treasure that had been lost and found again.
There was a slight tremor in Xu Shiyue's calm voice. Only now did she dare to express her fear: "Lu Shizhen, I'm so scared. I'm afraid you won't come back..."
Lu Shizhen felt the fear of the person in his arms, gently stroked her back, and said, "But didn't you still use other people to remind me?"
"That was you, right? You said a lot of weird things and asked me to eat more apples at the end."
As Lu Shizhen spoke, he looked at Xu Shiyue with a smile.
Xu Shiyue also nodded and said to Lu Shizhen: "So I also know that you gave up your world and chose my world."
Lu Shizhen felt disappointed.
Everything that had just happened quickly came together in her mind, including her abandonment of the wheelchair and her flesh and blood that had reunited during the kiss.
She knew what her experience in the corridor meant, and she had wanted to hide it.
But the person opposite is Xu Shiyue.
Lu Shizhen nodded honestly with a hint of helplessness: "Yeah, it seems to be like this."
When Xu Shiyue heard Lu Shizhen's admission, her eyes, which had finally calmed down, suddenly became red again.
Xu Shiyue has been very anxious these days.
She watched Lu Shizhen open the door according to her reminder, but she waited and waited, but no matter how hard she tried, she saw no sign of him returning.
She really wanted to go find Lu Shizhen, but she couldn't leave this world centered around her. Her departure would cause the world to collapse, and would also cause the opened door to collapse.
The flow rates of the time gates in the two worlds are not the same.
Xu Shiyue had many dreams and was worried about gains and losses.
Even though he was extremely rational in the business world, Xu Shiyue couldn't calm himself down this time.
She stared at the long corridor. The long silence made her scared. Even if Lu Shizhen triggered the doorway, she didn't want to come back.
After all, that world is where she was born, raised, and truly given life and future.
During the years when she was away, Lu Shizhen lived alone in that world for more than ten years. She had the same honors there as she did here, even more, and had a more promising future.
But on the day they first met, she came back.
Came to his own world.
She has come back.
She chose herself.
"Don't be like this, it's just a small matter. Didn't I not live long in that world originally?" Lu Shizhen looked at Xu Shiyue's eyes and they became red again. He wiped her tears in a hurry and tried his best to comfort her. "What kept me alive are the healthy cells in the body of Lu Shizhen in this world. It's right for me to come here."
"Besides, who will hold you down if I'm not here, Lady Black Moonlight."
Lu Shizhen's voice was full of tenderness and comfort, but his eyes held a mischievous smile during these words.
When Xu Shiyue heard Lu Shizhen's address to her, she immediately laughed.
Her slightly curved eyes could not hold back the tears, which flowed down her eyelashes to her lips.
Then it was imprinted on Lu Shizhen's lips.
The hand that was originally placed on Lu Shizhen's back slowly moved upwards, brushed across her waist and back, and fell on her neck.
The slender figure pressed towards Lu Shizhen, and Lu Shizhen was half forced and half spontaneously leaned back, and then fell on the bed.
The slightly cool tears fell on the tip of the tongue, gently sweeping past it.
Xu Shiyue always liked to caress Lu Shizhen gently, which made her nerves tremble, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to turn her over and press her down.
The wind blew past the window, casting the shadows of the treetops into the door of the room. The tenderness and ambiguity filled the entire ward with the scorching sunlight.
Lu Shizhen's pressed hands climbed up Xu Shiyue's waist, and the thin hem of her skirt bloomed like petals on the edge of the bed, full of warmth.
At this moment, a tall figure was cast on the frosted glass on the door.
There was no knocking, and the shadow didn't even stop at the door. He pushed the door open and said in a hurried tone: "Xu Shiyue just now Zhenzhen's body..."
The man's voice has a unique sense of sedimentation, urgent yet abrupt.
Lu Shizhen stopped moving immediately. Besides being frightened, the main reason was that she found the voice very familiar...
The sunlight was blinding and the door to the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Lu Shizhen just lay on the bed and turned her head dully, and saw Lu Shize, dressed in a suit and tie, standing upright in her sight, upside down.
With great difficulty, Lu Shizhen tore open his lips that had suddenly become extremely dry, and squeezed out a word from his throat: "...Brother."
