Hot August.
The cicadas are chirping non-stop.
The students of Baimei No. 1 Middle School still have to attend remedial classes in this endless August.
This is a tradition among high school students in this county.
Fortunately, there was no need to attend evening self-study classes during the summer vacation, so Mei Fang rode her bike straight home after the exam.
Mei Fang parked the car in the yard and wiped the sweat from his forehead. After returning home, he felt like a wilted water cabbage, with all his energy drained by the summer heat.
Mom Xiang Xiaoxia was busy preparing dinner, while Dad Mei Lijun was sitting in the living room watching TV.
After saying hello to her parents, Mei Fang returned to her room. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a dim street scene, which stunned her.
"Huh..."
Mei Fang noticed that this was a free-standing mirror with beautiful and gorgeous carvings on the frame and a pink paper crane sticker on it.
"Hey, Mom, what are you doing with a mirror in my room?"
"Ah, that one... that one was given to me by your Aunt Wang, a neighbor who used to live in the neighborhood. I thought it was pretty nice, so I put it in your room."
"What do I, a boy, need such a big standing mirror for..."
"Don't say that, son, haha."
Meilijun's laughter came from the living room. "You are not a child anymore. You should pay more attention to your image. Wouldn't it be nice to have a mirror to look at yourself?"
"School and exams are so tiring, how can I have time to take care of myself... Aren't you afraid that your son will fall in love too early?"
"Hahahaha! Your mom and I are hoping that you'll fall in love early! Love during the student days is the purest. I tell you, when you get to college, and even into society—"
"Alright, alright, stop talking. You're corrupting our son."
Xiang Xiaoxia seemed to be disgusted by Meilijun's noise. "Anyway, putting a mirror in your room won't be a problem. It can also make the room look bigger!"
"There's just no place to put things. Just put the mirror in my room!"
Mei Fang's complaints did not elicit a response from his parents, but it was common for Mei Fang to be ignored by his parents. He did not think too much about it. He went to the refrigerator, took out a can of ice cola, and then started to practice questions for today.
High school students have heavy tasks in life, but they cannot do without practicing questions. Mei Fang started working on it. After a while, her mother called her to eat, and she took a shower after dinner.
When he came out of the shower, it was already very dark, so Mei Fang chose to relax and play games for a while.
After finishing the game, Mei Fang returned to the bedroom. Just as he was about to continue doing the questions, the full-length mirror beside him caught his attention the moment he entered the room.
Is there something wrong
The full-length mirror reflected the evening scene as he entered the room, but because the full-length mirror was facing the window, Mei Fang did not notice it at first.
But now there is no sunlight at all, and what is reflected in the mirror is still the sunset.
Ah this.
This is already very wrong, isn't it
Mei Fang walked to the standing mirror, and something even more terrifying happened—
There is no reflection of myself in the mirror at all!
But soon Mei Fang gradually reacted.
Um.
Is it possible that this isn't a mirror at all
Just a painting... in a very realistic style
But the texture of the mirror is hard to identify, right
Mei Fang subconsciously touched the surface of the "mirror". It was not a big deal, but when his fingertips touched the mirror, an invisible force seemed to stick Mei Fang's hand.
…
Mei Fang suddenly felt an indescribable fear. When he desperately turned his fingers, he only felt waves of weakness. Mei Fang wanted to shout loudly, but he couldn't open his mouth at all.
He realized that something seemed to be gradually slipping away from him, and the spots of light that slipped away from his fingertips flowed along the faint veins onto the pink paper cranes on the edge of the mirror.
The originally pale paper cranes seemed to come to life gradually, and their colors became brighter.
huff-
Mei Fang didn't know how long this feeling of being drained lasted. He only saw the paper cranes start to flap their wings after they came to life, and they flew not along the mirror but towards the world in the mirror.
When the silhouettes of the paper cranes gradually disappeared, Mei Fang was finally able to pull his hand off the mirror.
But the feeling of exhaustion and weakness made him drowsy, but he was more panicked than tired.
What is this... What strange incident
What the hell is this
He looked cautiously at the mirror in front of him, which seemed to absorb his energy. The dim light showed an intoxicating halo and seemed to emit a familiar and nostalgic smell.
I always feel like I've seen this scene somewhere before...
It would be nice to see a more recognizable scene.
Just as Mei Fang was thinking this, the world in the mirror suddenly began to rotate, moving towards what Mei Fang expected, a scene that looked more like the ground.
Wait... that slide, I should have... seen it somewhere before!
Mei Fang felt that this slide was very familiar. When he wanted to take a closer look, the mirror seemed to understand his will and kept moving the lens.
Oh shit.
Awesome!
Mei Fang reacted quickly—
This mirror isn't something from some weird novel.
This mirror is a treasure that I have recognized as my own.
Just like the story of dripping blood to recognize the master that often appears in fantasy novels about cultivating immortals, the mirror absorbed his own vitality and can now be used by him!
Mei Fang's fatigue was immediately dispelled by his curiosity about the mirror.
In the next few days, Mei Fang observed the mirror world every day and summarized some theoretical points:
1. The time in the mirror world is almost stagnant and still; since Mei Fang came into contact with the mirror, it has always been evening.
2. In the eyes of other people, this is just an ordinary standing mirror. Mei Fang was also curious why his parents said it was just an ordinary mirror, because in his parents' eyes, the mirror reflected themselves and played the role of an ordinary mirror - this also means that before recognizing its owner, the mirror was a very special existence for Mei Fang.
3. The mirror world is a reflection of the real world, but it is not the present time point. The residential area that appears in this three-dimensional mirror is the old residential area where Mei Fang used to live. The slide is exactly the playground where he played when he was a child, but now the slide has been demolished.
4. The mirror world has its own end boundary, at least for now. Mei Fang used his mind to control the mirror lens to move farther and farther in one direction.
5. There are no living creatures in the mirror world, at least Mei Fang has not observed any yet.
After summarizing these contents, Mei Fang's curiosity gradually began to disappear.
While it's fun to have supernatural powers, what's the point of a mirror that reflects a certain time in the past where time has stopped
You can't make yourself rich, right
It would be better to study hard and get a few more points in math, which would be more realistic...
Mei Fang has recently been unable to concentrate on his studies because he has been obsessed with controlling the mirror. Now he just wants to know whether the mirror has any extended power.
But, it seems that there is no...
When he was about to start manipulating the lens of the mirror world to observe and record the mirror world as usual, the scene before him made him extremely excited.
Because, in front of the lens of his mirror world, there was a piece of pink letter paper, as if it had been pasted from the other side of the mirror.
There were a few lines of words written in beautiful regular script on the letter paper.
Can you see me
[Please come to me]
[I live in Building 1, East District 2, Xiangyang Community]
Here it comes...
Residents of the mirror world!
The creature finally appeared!
Could it be a human like him
Or some weird alien
I feel like since it can write Chinese characters, it must be a human creature!
Mei Fang seemed very excited and began to adjust the camera along the address on the letter, looking for the location of the address.
Speaking of which, that place.
It doesn't seem too far from the initial position when the mirror was first obtained.
Isn't that... the neighborhood where I used to live
That neighborhood really does hide secrets.
But is this a secret that a high school student like me can touch
Mei Fang was curious but also a little nervous.
It's not an octopus-faced brain-sucking monster that will eat me, oh my god...
However, now that things have come to this, I can only believe that I am the child of destiny...
Mei Fang found the villa mentioned in the address, a small Western-style building.
Although it was dusk, the lights were on.
…
Mei Fang moved the camera into the house and the mirror passed through the wall.
The interior decoration is classical and elegant, with mahogany furniture, leather sofas, and slightly aged sculptures and vases.
There is a huge family portrait of three people on the wall, but the faces of the three people in the picture are a little unclear.
Boom, boom, boom.
Mei Fang suddenly felt a little nervous. After all, there was no one in such a big house. Although there was indeed no sound in the mirror, the feeling of silence was really too weird.
I felt like someone was staring at me from behind, and it gave me a chill down my spine.
call…
There was no one in the living room, but the dining room table seemed to have shown signs of recent use, as there was only a dinner plate with some sandwich crumbs on it.
Do you want to go upstairs and take a look
Mei Fang continued to search for the person in the mirror with the help of the mirror's perspective.
Now that I'm here, I won't stop until I meet the right person.
The mirror's perspective went up the stairs to the second floor, through a pink-painted door, and into what looked like a girl's room.
The layout of the room is full of a warm and lovely but weird feeling.
There are many posters of anime characters on the pink wall, especially Cardcaptor Sakura, and there is also a magic wand on the table in the set.
…
Seeing these familiar anime elements, Mei Fang's fear gradually eased.
Just when he relaxed, the pink door was suddenly pushed open!
Before Mei Fang had time to move his gaze, what came into view was a pair of feet wearing rabbit slippers!
Then, the camera suddenly stopped being controlled by Mei Fang and started moving on its own.
As if being moved, the image of the girl in the full-length mirror came into Mei Fang's sight.
She looked to be about the same age as Mei Fang. She wore loose clothes that did not fit her body very well. She had a delicate and lovely face under her smooth long hair. She certainly did not look like a beautiful girl that only existed in the real world.
She seemed to be able to see Mei Fang in the mirror. She was astonished and tried to wave at Mei Fang, but Mei Fang just stared at her without any big reaction. Or perhaps she was too shocked.
So the girl quickly ran to her desk, wrote another note and placed it on her chest.
[Can you see me?]
At this moment, Mei Fang finally came back to his senses. He nodded vigorously, or rather, he realized it, and then immediately wrote on the white paper.
I can see you
The girl who saw this scene immediately covered her mouth with excitement and trembling, and then continued to write, conveying what she wanted to say to Mei Fang.
Thus, in the mirror world and the real world where sounds were isolated, the girl and the boy began their first contact.
[That's great! I thought I would be alone in such a lonely world forever! My name is Xia Yuan! What's your name? ]
The name Xia Yuan...
An oddly familiar feeling.
However, first of all—
[Mei Fang]
Mei Fang wrote his name on the paper and showed it to Xia Yuan.
And this name is obviously somewhat special to Xia Yuan.
She quickly wrote two more lines and showed them to Mei Fang.
[I think I know you]
[We should be classmates in kindergarten!]
[You are the one who often wets the bed during lunch break, the bed-wetting king! ]
When Mei Fang saw the words Xia Yuan wrote with a smile, her face immediately turned red.
[That's not me!]
That was a memory that Mei Fang didn't want to recall.
Sorry! I wrote a little bit about the Crystal Chapter, but I felt that the characters were all OOC, so I couldn't continue. I have to finish it completely this month, so I'd better get into the Fate Line as soon as possible. Forgive me!
Because the novel is at the end of its energy, the storyline of "The Romance in the Mirror" will definitely not be as long and profound as the storyline of "Fate in the Fang Xi", but I hope I can also tell a story that will make everyone cry. Thank you very much, I will update another chapter during the day.
