I loaded the dream game

"Did you draw something on my face?" Thinking of the slightly itchy feeling just now, Irena touched her face and asked vigilantly.

"That's not true." Xia Zhi denied it flatly.

Seeing that the girl still seemed a little unconvinced, he thought for a moment and continued, "How could I bear to scribble on such a pretty and lovely face of a witch lady?"

That's true.

Irena nodded in agreement.

Then she yawned again and prepared to lie back down and go back to sleep.

Two black lines appeared on Xia Zhi's forehead. He reached out and picked up the sleepy witch from the ground.

"What's going on?" Irena, whose sleep was disturbed, opened her eyes and asked dissatisfiedly.

"Have you forgotten something?" Xia Zhi said, looking into her glazed eyes.

Irena tilted her head in confusion, her eyes fell on him, and after thinking for a while, she asked:

"Forgot to give me a lap pillow?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she was hit on the head.

"It's you who forgot, not me!" Xia Zhi said unhappily.

Really, how can someone be so lazy? I don't know who I learned this from, I didn't feel like this before.

"Because I really didn't sleep the whole night last night..." Irena covered her forehead and said a little aggrievedly.

If you really want to talk about it, you are the one who started it, right?

She thought to herself, looked at the young man in front of her, and asked doubtfully:

"By the way, why are you still so energetic?"

"I have extensive experience in staying up all night," Xia Zhi replied.

What? It sounds like he's been through a lot of battles.

Irena wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, and then she discovered something else.

"When did you change your clothes?"

Moreover, it looks like... this is the style of her world?

When was it prepared in advance?

If nothing else, it's pretty nice.

Unable to help but look at Xia Zhi twice again, Irena blinked and thought to herself.

You are worthy of being my boyfriend.

"Before you wake up." Xia Zhi replied.

Irena was slightly stunned: "Have I slept for a long time?"

"It took me seven or eight years to wake you up."

I wouldn't stay in bed that long.

Irena thought to herself with dissatisfaction at the boy's exaggerated words, and then shook her head:

"Forget it, let's not talk about that."

She turned her head and looked around. It seemed to be a plain with endless green and blue sky.

White clouds floated in the boundless blue sky, casting shadows. On the plain, in the shade where the sun was blocked, there happened to be a tree standing alone, its branches swaying gently in the breeze.

They happened to be under this tree, enjoying the cool shade, the breeze from the plains, and the rays of sunlight filtering through the gaps between the trees.

Irena couldn't help but yawn again... If she wasn't afraid of being picked up by Xia Zhi again, she really wanted to lie down and continue sleeping.

"Have we reached our destination?" She turned her head and asked the young man beside her.

Xia Zhi nodded and answered hesitantly: "Yes, I'm here, but..."

How should I put it? After seven or eight years, successfully reuniting with Irena should have been a good thing.

But...some things might be a little different from what Irena initially imagined.

Looking at the gray-haired girl in front of him, Xia Zhi was thinking, there was one... no, two things, should he tell her.

While he was hesitating, he felt someone grab his wrist.

"In that case, let's set off!"

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned: "Where to go?"

"Of course I'm going to my house." Irena answered as a matter of course.

After all, wasn't she coming back just for this matter?

Ah, this...

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and asked, "Can I not go?"

"What are you talking about? Of course not." Irena looked at him dissatisfied and said, "Didn't you agree to go back with me?"

"……All right."

Xia Zhi, who originally wanted to say that he had diarrhea today, hesitated for a moment and gave up the idea after hearing what the girl said. He nodded and agreed.

"But Irena..."

He took a deep breath, looked into the girl's clear glass-colored eyes and said, "There is something I need to tell you in advance..."

It can also be considered as a way to prepare the girl mentally in advance.

Xia Zhi thought about it and continued:

"Some situations may be a little different from what you imagined."

"...?"

Irena tilted her head slightly, and a question mark slowly appeared above her head.

.......

Chapter 745: Irena outside of independent time

Under the clear blue sky, there is an exquisite two-story house. There is no wall around the house, and the courtyard is full of various flowers, blooming in all colors, bathed in the breeze, rippling with fragments of light, making the house look like it is located in a dream garden, like a beautiful scenery that only appears in a painting.

…It should have been like this.

however……

Looking at the empty space in front of her, which was completely different from the scene in her memory, Irena blinked blankly.

...Where is my home?

"That's what I wanted to tell you - the first thing."

Xia Zhi turned around, looked at the girl and said, "We are not here at the time you left."

Not only him, but also Irena. Although she came to a later time than the beginning of the summer solstice, that was only relative to him.

Compared to Irena herself, it was earlier than the time she remembered.

In other words, it is equivalent to...

“…We have traveled to the past?”

"You are really smart." Xia Zhi praised generously.

"..."

Well, it seems that she doesn't always fall for this.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and continued:

"If you want, I can send you back to that time right now."

Irena opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but hesitated and did not answer immediately.

Then, she shook her head slightly, took a deep breath and asked:

"How long ago did we arrive?"

"Relative to you...about twenty years ago." Xia Zhi answered uncertainly.

Wasn't that when I wasn't even born yet?

Looking at the empty space in front of her that was completely different from the scene in her memory, Irena suddenly felt that this familiar world had suddenly become a little strange.

Wait, doesn’t this mean... Mom is still young at this time?

Soon, Irena suddenly thought of this thing

What was my mother like when she was young?

And what was the world like twenty years ago?

She was immediately interested.

According to Xia Zhi, they can return to that time at any time. If that's the case, then before that... it's okay to secretly go and see my mother at this moment, and take a look around this world that has become strange and fresh again, right?

"..."

Looking at Irena who was looking down at something, Xia Zhi was thinking about something else.

As he thought, the past... no, the "past" relative to Irena had undoubtedly changed.

But Irena's existence was not affected at all, and even her memory of the past did not change at all.

It should be said that this is actually a matter of course. Irena, who also possesses the "Pseudo-Universe" and has completed the convergence of her own multi-dimensional space-time, is already an independent existence outside the timeline.

What is manifested is that not only will the damage from the "present" be corrected by the "past" and the "future", but any influence from the "past" will also be overwritten by the "present".

She has gathered all time to the "present" and is not bound by fate or cause and effect. It is impossible in principle to affect her existence by changing the "past".

A similar example is that even though the disappearance of Yang No's existence caused a complete change in the world line, it did not affect Xia Zhi's memory of her, and the same was true for Irena.

It was precisely because of this that Xia Zhi dared to stay in the "past" for so long. Otherwise, if he accidentally caused a butterfly effect and lost his girlfriend, it would be troublesome.

As he was thinking this, he looked up and saw a delicate face very close to him.

The girl had come close to him without him noticing, blinking at him. At this distance, he could clearly see his own reflection in those glassy eyes.

"...is something wrong?"

"Shall we go?" the girl said excitedly.

"Where are you going?" Xia Zhi asked puzzledly.

"Looking for my mother."

Irena gave this answer, then thought for a moment and continued:

"She should still be traveling somewhere in the world at this time, right?"

· ········Request flowers··· ··

"Then let's go look for her while we travel?"

Summer Solstice:…

To be honest, I just brought people to look for you like this some time ago.

Then, Irena seemed to suddenly think of something, looked at Xia Zhi, blinked, and said, "Tell me, if I ran up to her and said that I was her daughter from the future, would she be surprised?"

I've rarely seen her look surprised, so it will definitely be fun, right?

Irena thought about this with interest, but then shook her head.

"But...don't worry, I won't do that."

"I also know that the past cannot be changed casually."

Xia Zhi hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, if you want, it doesn't matter if you change..."

... ....... .......

After all, the past has long been changed.
