"Wait-"
Seeing the sudden change in front of him in amazement, Lu Zhuo hurried over a few steps, looking at the vast sea of clouds under the steps.
Su Shi also leaned forward and looked down, looking at his lover who was still shocked, and finally realized that there seemed to be some deviation in the two people's thoughts: "So—didn't you just let me take the opportunity to do it?"
"Basically not..."
The procedural thinking that is used to logical reasoning can't fully understand the simplicity and rudeness of the human world. Lu Zhuo shook his head in a daze, took his lover who was too close to the edge of the steps back to his side, and looked down again, somewhat worried.
"Is it really okay for him to fall like this? I haven't been back to Bailian Dimension for a long time. This world is new, and I don't know what's down here..."
"It doesn't have to be anything if we fall. If he falls, there is probably someone underneath."
Su Shi stroked his chin, raised his hand to hold Lu Zhuo's arm, and shook his head to signal that he was not in a hurry to speak, and counted in a low voice: "One, two, three—"
Counting to three, a gust of wind suddenly swept past, blowing people could barely open their eyes,
With a thought in his heart, Lu Zhuo immediately circled his lover back into his arms, put out his strength to avoid the limelight, and when he looked closely again, there were faintly more figures at the end of the cloud.
Su Shi smiled faintly, pulled his wrist and walked up: "Let's go, someone is in charge."
After going through countless hardships, and enduring one after another of realistic illusions that were almost heart-wrenching, he finally reached this step, but suddenly fell off the high platform unexpectedly.
Song Zhilan was almost heartbroken. Seeing that point became more and more out of reach, the temperature around his body finally faded away completely, and his heart turned into a bone-piercing ice.
He used to be very close to that person.
I should have thought earlier that I was not worthy of such a dream.
The mistakes made are a foregone conclusion, and no matter what you do, it will be difficult to make up for it. Whenever he walked in extreme pain these years, he couldn't help thinking of that person, and couldn't help but imagine how that person walked in silence, how he survived the long hopeless night, how he kept his eyes open. Stay up till dawn.
But what Lu Li endured was something he could afford.
The moment this name appeared in his mind, Song Zhilan's chest suddenly felt an unfamiliar stabbing pain, accompanied by a faint warm current, but it was quickly cooled down and turned into jagged ice edges.
Maybe it was just a dream.
There is no room for repentance if you do something wrong. He will never be able to see that person again. The so-called meeting again after enduring torture is just a naive illusion in a dream.
If so, this is really a rare dream.
I don't know if it was to torture him thoroughly, the process of falling was terribly long. Listening to the whistling wind, Song Zhilan laughed in a trance, tears streaming down his face.
The internal organs seemed to melt into water vapor, pouring out continuously from his chest, turning the whole body into an empty shell, which could not accommodate any extra existence.
When the time comes, the dream should wake up.
But still miss him.
Miss him, want to see him.
—Life and death do not matter, I have one thing I would like to ask Your Majesty.
"Lu Xiang..."
—The emperor is merciful, as long as the quasi-subject lives to the day when he ascends the throne hall.
"I was wrong... Sorry, I was wrong..."
—The emperor... Can you put on the auspicious clothes and ask the minister to take a look
"I was wrong... I was wrong, Lu Xiang... don't go..."
- This is the name he gave you, in charge of the country, calm the waves, and he will look at you.
…
Song Zhilan was shaking violently, as if a sharp dagger had been stuck into his chest, and he was desperately tumbling and rolling. The memories he never dared to set foot in rushed into his mind, stabbing his limbs and bones with chills.
This is his prison. In the long years after that, he sat in the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and the hundreds of officials below the ranks shouted long live, but the dragon chair was so cold that he felt chills through his body.
The towering palace became a nightmare that he could never escape. How many late night dreams have come back, one moment was still a juvenile time full of laughter, the next moment, he watched himself showing terrifying cold hatred, saying to the figure kneeling in front of him, "If you don't get rid of adultery, you swear not to ascend the throne. "
The illusion is terrifyingly real, but the truth is sadly unreal.
He couldn't cry.
The last glimmer of hope was shattered, and the only thing he could do seemed to be to give his life to that person.
But where can I afford it
"Lu Xiang..."
Broken choked sobs were squeezed out of the throat, and a thick blood flowed, Song Zhilan's consciousness gradually became blurred, and he finally called out in a whisper.
Pay him back, pay him like this. Even if he is not worthy, at least he was close enough to turn his flesh and blood into ashes, and scattered them into the wind.
That person is the easiest to soften his heart, and he won't be so cruel as to drive him away...
…
"The minister is here."
A clear voice suddenly sounded in his ears, the strong wind rolled into invisible wings, and the falling figure stopped suddenly.
There was a sudden buzz in his mind, Song Zhilan opened his eyes in a daze, and looked around hastily. In the numbness of the chest, a new sharp pain suddenly appeared, and there was a fishy sweetness in the throat, and he subconsciously coughed, and his hands were stained with bright red.
Without external intervention, the data that failed the assessment would be automatically dispelled, and his body had already begun to collapse.
But he didn't care about it at all, wiped the blood on his lips, and looked around in a panic: "Lu Xiang, Lu Xiang—are you there? It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't want to see me, just talk to me again Just one word, please, talk to me again..."
There was a moment of silence in the ear, and a sigh was sent by the wind.
The voice just sighed softly, but Song Zhilan suddenly seemed to have acquired some treasure, his eyes lit up suddenly, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
His body was already very weak, he fell to his knees after taking a step, more blood was coughed up and spilled on the front of his clothes.
But he didn't seem to notice it at all, just because he was overjoyed to hear that real sigh, he laughed like a child: "Lu Xiang, it's great that you're still alive..."
Song Zhilan murmured in a low voice repeatedly, his eyes gradually drifted away, but he still had a satisfied smile. He stretched out his hand, as if he was holding something in the air, his pale lips fluttered weakly: "Don't drive me away... Lu Xiang, don't want me, I know I was wrong..."
The voice gradually faded, and finally became inaudible.
His figure slowly languished, and finally he was powerless to collapse. But he didn't know that at the moment he fell, a pair of arms had already firmly embraced his body.
The jade-like white power was poured into it continuously, solidifying and filling the vitality in the body, and the dim figure became clear again.
A figure gradually appeared, leaned over to pick up the young man, and disappeared into the clouds again.
Su Shi and Lu Zhuo climbed to the top of the space of the piano steps within a short distance.
The handsome young man was standing at the very top. When he saw their figures, he had a hearty smile on his face. He nodded to the two of them, patted the young man sitting in front of the pure white grand piano, and leaned over. Spoken a few words with him.
The young man in front of the piano stopped playing and raised his head. After reading a few words, his eyes lit up. Turning around to look at the two of them, a soft and shy smile appeared on his delicate face.
"I guessed it would be you."
Su Shi's eyebrows were also soaked in warmth, and he walked quickly in front of Gong Zhengyu, looked at the quiet and smiling young man, and stretched out his hand to him: "It's a pleasure to meet you, I hope the song I wrote didn't embarrass you too much."
"They're beautiful, the best pieces I've ever heard."
Gong Zhengyu's voice was still soft, and when he met the warmth in Su Shi's eyes, his eyes lit up slightly, and he held his hand, but there was some genuine apology on his face: "I've always wanted to apologize to you, because I For the sake of making you work so hard..."
"Compared to you, I am much more relaxed."
The young man in front of him was so quiet that he was afraid that he would be frightened. Although he knew that the other party could not hear him, Su Shi subconsciously lowered his voice and responded warmly.
It was rare to meet these two people, and Su Shi was planning to have a good chat with them, but saw Lu Zhuo still standing not far away, his expression even showing a little hesitation.
Su Shi was a little puzzled, raised his eyebrows slightly and thought for a moment, then suddenly understood, and looked at the young man guarding Gong Zhengyu.
Liang Xuanyi touched the bridge of his nose, nodded his head involuntarily, and coughed lightly: "It seems that you have met more than one unlucky guy who was thrown into the Bailian space by Mr. Lu along the way."
…
Sure enough, that's the case.
Su Shi couldn't help being dumbfounded. Thinking about how much the other party suffered from an innocent disaster, Liang Xuanyi was about to apologize for his lover, but Liang Xuanyi already laughed and rubbed the top of the young man's head beside him: "To be honest, I am very grateful for this experience— If it weren't for this space, I probably would never be able to find him again in my life... "
Gong Zhengyu couldn't hear his words, and looked up, with mild doubts in his eyes.
Liang Xuanyi just shook his head with him with a smile, put on the coat that was put aside for him, and patiently met those warm black eyes: "Let's invite Mr. Su and Mr. Lu to have a meal at home and rest, okay?" it is good?"
After understanding his mouth shape, a little light appeared in Hei Che's pupils. The corners of Gong Zhengyu's lips pursed into a smile, he nodded, took Liang Xuanyi's hand, and turned around to close the piano cover.
Su Shi couldn't help being slightly surprised, and looked at Liang Xuanyi who was waiting patiently aside: "Is it okay if you don't play?"
Obviously, this space can only function with the sound of the piano. Lu Zhuo's speed is very fast. Even if they delay some time with the little emperor, they will never be the last ones to come up.
"As long as the first person passes by, the sound of the piano will stop and the illusion will dissipate. The rest of the examinees just need to find a way to climb up the steps."
Liang Xuanyi smiled lightly and nodded, took Gong Zhengyu who came back quickly, rubbed his head, and held his hand in his palm: "After all—if you keep repeating the thing you fear the most, it probably won't be that bad." Easy to pass."
He agreed to be thrown into the Hundred Refining Space, not for himself, but for Gong Zhengyu.
That song "Shimmer" was evaluated as "Sweeping Blood", and the emotion hidden in it is not a painful memory of a friend, but the helplessness and despair of losing a loved one.
He originally planned well, he wanted to justify Gong Zhengyu's name on the field, he wanted to take him to watch his finals, and he wanted to confess to Gong Zhengyu when he won the championship. He thought about everything, but ignored the other party's psychological state.
By mistake, it happened that one step was too late, and the result was irreversible.
After he was thrown into the Hundred Refining Space, he also experienced several powerless reincarnations. Gong Zhengyu was exhausted physically and mentally from repeated episodes of depression, and public opinion was always easily swayed by the direction of the wind. No matter which node he was reverted to, it seemed that he could not really reverse the facts. original ending.
Until he began to doubt himself, wondering if there was really no way to reconcile with this malicious world, but at that time, Gong Zhengyu persisted.
That was actually a very laborious process.
To accept repeated episodes of exhaustion and pain, to resist the strong desire for peace and relaxation, to endure uncontrollable emotions during the long course of treatment. He also has to bear the pressure from the outside world and himself, bear the side effects of the treatment drugs, endure the struggle in chaos, and the crampedness under anxiety—to stay in that not-so-good world, for him.
He wanted to save Gong Zhengyu, but he didn't expect that in the end it was the person he was determined to protect who brought Shimmer back to him.
At that time, they walked hand in hand for a long time, long enough to face all harsh criticisms and criticisms calmly, long enough for the truth of the plagiarism dispute to be widely known, and went to the very quiet depths of the years, and then fell asleep hugging each other.
When I woke up again, I came to this place.
"I have experienced that feeling more or less. Zheng Yu is much stronger than me."
Seeing Gong Zhengyu looking over, Su Shi smiled at him, and said warmly, "Why don't you wear a hearing aid, don't you want to hear the sound?"
"Here, Lu Li has never seen a hearing aid before, so she can't make it. It was agreed at the time that it was a customs clearance reward, and I will bring it for them when I come..."
With great difficulty, when his lover brought up a conversation that he could answer, Lu Zhuo immediately stopped the conversation, and the light in his palm gathered to form a pair of hearing aids, handing them over to Liang Xuanyi.
Already accustomed to the quiet environment, seeing the hearing aid in his hand, Gong Zhengyu felt a little nervous, instinctively clenched Liang Xuanyi's hand, and took half a step back.
"It's okay, you can hear it when you put it on, don't you always want to hear me sing?"
Liang Xuanyi rubbed his hair with a smile, mouth-shaped patiently, took over the hearing aid and handed it to him, and said silently: "When I get back at night, I will sing it to you slowly, okay?"
Gong Zhengyu's face was slightly hot, he pursed his lips and nodded, carefully putting away the hearing aid. The smile in Liang Xuanyi's eyes grew stronger, he kissed his forehead, and said to Lu Zhuo sincerely, "Thank you."
For some people, reincarnation experience after reincarnation may indeed be painful. But for those who must do their best to live, if they really have the opportunity to make up for their mistakes, start over from the beginning, have the opportunity to walk through the vast darkness, and see that ray of light, it is already the most rare salvation and hope. There is a way out.
His eyes were sincere and solemn, Lu Zhuo looked at him for a moment, finally smiled and nodded, and patted his arm: "You don't need to thank me, live well."
Liang Xuanyi nodded, and looked down at his lover beside him.
Gong Zhengyu raised his head to meet his gaze, the bottom of his warm eyes burst into a soft light, and the corners of his lips pursed into a light smile, and finally he could no longer see the shadowy shadows that had been lingering ever since.
The lords guarding the pass had already gone to treat people to dinner, and the illusion naturally dissipated. The examinees who were exhausted from being tortured finally started to climb the stairs, and they still had plenty of time.
The two had a full meal and rested for a while before being sent outside the third pass by Liang Xuanyi and Gong Zhengyu.
"The third level is 'Persuading You to Cherish Your Youth'. The time requirements will be stricter. You must pass the level on time within 48 hours. The error should be within one minute. No more and no less. From the moment you enter the level, you will In the face of infinite pursuit, you have to be more careful."
Accompanying them to the pass, Liang Xuanyi instructed them carefully, set the time on two timers, and handed them to them.
"The time on the timer shall prevail. Remember not to meet up too early for this level. After you meet other examiners, your time flow rate will double accordingly—that road Jinchu ran once, and the 100-mile The speed of the car will take about a whole day, and the time is still very tight.”
"Why did Jinchu run that road..."
There is only one level left, and the only old friend left is the pair of cardinals and paladins. The identity of the next lord is really not too difficult to guess.
After all, he couldn't figure out why Mu Jinchu was going to run the Western Fantasy dungeon. Meeting Liang Xuanyi's equally puzzled dumb gaze, Su Shi shook his head, and could only attribute the possibility to Mu Jinchu's desire to practice his driving skills. Timer coming: "Thanks, we'll keep an eye out."
"Take care, remember to come back and see us."
Liang Xuanyi smiled lightly, took his lover by his side and said goodbye to them. Gong Zhengyu blinked at Su Shi, and made a "come on" gesture with him, with a real warm smile in his eyes.
Seeing the young man in front of him who can really smile is the best gift he has received at this stage. Su Shi couldn't help smiling, and cooperated with him to thank him in sign language, and then walked towards the third level with Lu Zhuo.
The figures of the two entered the light curtain one after another, and were immediately transported to a new scene.
The author has something to say:
Mu Jinchu: ... How should I put it ('-ι_-｀)
#probably is#
#single#
#so boring#
