The next day, at noon, the two were walking on the street.
When passing a ramen restaurant, Zhiyao stopped and suggested: "Let's eat here first, and then go to the train station to buy tickets back."
Xili: “Yeah.”
Half an hour later, the two people came out after finishing their meal. Zhiyao was about to walk towards the train station, but he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Xili was staring at the mini bar from yesterday.
"What's wrong?" Zhiyao asked subconsciously.
Xili shifted her gaze to his face, her lips trembling slightly as if she had something to say.
Zhiyao understood Xili's thoughts immediately and smiled awkwardly, "I know, I know. Let's go sit there again. After all, we don't know when we'll be able to come here next time, right?"
Xili walked towards that direction without saying a word, but when she reached the door, she did not push it open to enter the house.
"Let's go in." Zhiyao urged casually.
"Wait a minute." Xili grabbed his sleeve and said in a negotiating tone, "I've checked the train schedule. The latest is 8 p.m. How about we..."
"You want to take the latest train?" Zhiyao was slightly surprised.
"Why, can't it?"
"It's not impossible...Okay, I'll do as you say."
It was noon and there were no customers inside. When the two of them entered, they only saw Mihua's mother sitting at the bar, and Mihua's mother stood up to greet the guests immediately.
"Welcome light... Hey, it's you?"
"We are leaving tonight, and we will come back to take care of your business, hehe." Zhiyao smiled.
"Two cups of coffee, just like yesterday," Xili said as she sat down on the swivel chair. She peered over the bar and saw that Xiao Mihua wasn't there, so she asked directly, "Where's your child?"
"He should be taking a nap." replied Mihua's mother.
Hearing this, Xili sighed with lack of interest.
Ten minutes later, two cups of steaming coffee were placed in front of the two of them. Xili stared at the curling steam, and the image of the adult Mihua unconsciously emerged in her mind.
She had a dream last night about the mature dense flower and some things that happened during the time she lived in the cafe, which was why she came to this place to sit again.
Just as I was immersed in memories of the past, Zhiyao patted my shoulder.
"You know, in the chapter about the time of trouble with Jin Yang, many evil spirits came to this place."
"Hui?" Xili was slightly stunned. "Huo Jinyang?"
"Yes, because the pillars below have either been taken away or released, the pressure on Fengshi has increased further, and he is almost unable to hold on. In that case, the moment of disaster will come, and the barrier at the foot of the mountain will be the first to fail. That's why the evil spirits are able to come out of the mountain and follow the scent of you living people who have been to Rishang Mountain to the cafe."
Xili was suddenly startled, her face full of disbelief.
"Has this ever happened? I don't know anything about it."
"All of you were asleep at that time. Only Fang Shenglian was awake. He monitored all the rooms through the surveillance cameras and went to any place where he found an evil spirit to drive it away."
"That's really..."
Xili was just sighing, but then Zhiyao suddenly changed to a playful tone.
"He was fighting hard, but you were sleeping like a dead pig. You didn't even know there was an evil spirit next to your pillow. There was such a loud noise of fighting in the room, but you didn't even wake up. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."
Seeing that smirk, Xili's face fell and she retorted without hesitation: "You are the pig. I'm just too tired. If it were you, you would sleep even harder than me."
"I can't even close my eyes, sir. Also, I think he's really stupid. He could have put all of you in one room and kept you all together, so you wouldn't have to run around all the time."
"They're worried about disturbing our rest," Xili said sarcastically. "Unlike you, who only care about your own convenience."
Zhiyao immediately protested, "It's safer to be under centralized supervision." Thinking about retaliating, she added, "And I'll wake you up and fight you together. If you can't wake me up, I'll slap you until you wake up."
"You dare!" Xili glared.
"Do you think I dare?" Zhiyao responded with a smile.
Half an hour passed quickly as the two of them chatted back and forth. As the coffee in the cup was finished, Xili lay down on the table, ready to take a short rest.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I heard Zhiyao's voice.
"Ah, little Mihua is here."
Xili immediately opened her eyes and sat up. She saw that Xiao Mihua had really come out. She was surprised and happy, and jumped off the chair and stood in front of Xiao Mihua.
"Xiao Mihua, are you awake?" She said as she put her hand on Xiao Mihua's head and rubbed it gently.
Xiao Mihua looked at her blankly, blinked, and the next moment walked around her and went straight to Zhiyao.
"elder brother."
Zhiyao picked up little Mihua and boasted to Xili with a beaming face: "See, Mihua likes me more and doesn't even pay attention to you."
Xili, feeling frustrated, frowned and looked resentful.
Didn’t I just buy her a lollipop yesterday? Why is Mihua like this?
She was unhappy.
Fortunately, she was not completely empty-handed, as she still had two fruit candies in her bag.
With her cheeks slightly puffed up, Xili groaned in anger and snatched the small flower from Zhiyao's hands.
"Mihua, you can't play with bad people."
Hearing this, Zhiyao sighed indifferently, with an expression as if he was watching a defeated person struggling to survive.
"Mihua won't listen to you."
"Who said that?" Xili rolled her eyes, then put Xiao Mihua on the bar, took out the two fruit candies from her pocket, and shook them gently in front of Xiao Mihua while seducing her.
"Mihua, call me sister."
"Call me auntie." Zhiyao was playing tricks on the side.
Xiao Mihua's eyes jumped back and forth between the two of them. After a moment, she called "Auntie" in a baby voice. Xili was frustrated, but there was nothing she could do, so she could only sit on the swivel chair with her back to her and sulk.
……
They spent the whole afternoon in the bar and only came out around five o'clock.
After coming out, Xili said she wanted to go to another place. Zhiyao followed her silently, but felt inexplicably uneasy in her heart. Then, when she found that they had left the town, the uneasy feeling gradually turned into uneasiness.
"Xili, are we going to..." he asked with gritted teeth.
"We'll be there in a few minutes." Xili still looked straight ahead.
A few minutes later, Xili stopped, and Zhiyao, on the other hand, could no longer remain calm.
This is where Xili jumped into the sea, and it was also the place in Zhiyao's dream yesterday afternoon. When leaving the town, Zhiyao guessed whether she would come to this place. Now that she has really come here, the uneasiness in her heart is magnified at this moment.
"Why don't we go back?" he suggested. "There's nothing to see here."
"Mihua saved me right here," Xili replied, her answer unrelated. "A series of events followed, and I returned to this place and jumped off the cliff." With a slight smile on her face, Xili walked to the edge of the cliff, gazing at the raging torrent below. "I thought everything would be over when I jumped, but I never expected to be transported back in time."
Zhiyao: "Uh, Xili..."
"Sikong."
Xili interrupted him.
"You know, before I jumped, I saw Fengshi. She told me I wasn't alone. Combined with what she'd been saying about falling together, I thought she wanted me to die with her. But thinking back, maybe... that wasn't the case. I think what she meant was that I wouldn't feel lonely because she was willing to die with me."
Zhiyao: "About that...it should be like that."
"But you're different. You want me to live. You used unreasonable methods to keep us together. You forced yourself to be by my side no matter what, begging me to stay. I couldn't drive you away... Although it disgusted me at first, it gradually made me happy and gradually eliminated the thought of leaving this world. As you said, you gave me my fourth life, so - thank you, Sikong, thank you for your perseverance."
After she finished speaking, Xili turned half of her face away.
"I feel as if my illness has been cured."
As the sunset glowed on her face, the next moment, a quiet smile bloomed on the girl's face.
It's not a fleeting glimpse, but the kind that comes from the depths of the heart without reservation and naturally released.
This scene is rare to see, but at this moment, Zhiyao had no time to pay attention to it. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he found that Xili's figure was a little blurrier than before, which made him panic.
Xili was about to disappear.
Intuition is telling Zhiyao.
Just like he went back to the past and came back, Yuli, who also came from the future, will also go back one day. The condition for triggering the time travel is to feel relieved in the heart, and after the mental illness is cured, she will return to the place where the time travel occurred. This is basically the routine of literary works.
but……
He was not ready for separation, and he didn't want to be separated at all.
Once, the deep red in his dream disappeared before his eyes, and he spent a lot of effort to change the result and restore it.
But this time, he was not going to save the situation afterwards. He wanted to grab the other person firmly and keep him before anything happened.
"Wait……"
"Wait a moment!"
Suppressing the panic that was bursting out from his heart, Zhiyao strode forward, grabbed Xili's hand and pulled her into his arms.
The moment she was hugged, Xili was startled and stunned. When she came to her senses and was about to break free, she stopped moving the next moment.
Because through touch and observation, she heard the person's inner voice.
She just let him hold her quietly, with her head resting on his shoulder and her eyes closed. After a few minutes, she raised her head and stared into his eyes.
"I do not go."
"Huh?" Zhiyao was slightly stunned.
"I won't leave." Xili repeated and emphasized, "Sikong, actually, in the last few seconds before I jumped, I noticed Mihua appear behind me. She must be very sad right now. And my sister Hinasaki Fukaya, she was already very lonely, and now she has lost Mrs. Hinasaki... She is the saddest and needs company the most... Although I feel a little sorry for them, I want to say... I want to stay in this time and space and not go back."
"because----"
"You're here."
Chapter 172: [Farewell]
At two o'clock in the morning, the two returned from outside and were discovered by Gu Du when they passed through the courtyard of Kurosawa Shrine.
"Hello----"
The two looked towards the source of the sound and saw that the window of a certain room was open and the hostess of the room was waving towards them.
"Aren't you asleep yet?" Zhiyao spoke first after arriving at the window.
"Aren't you working hard all night? Huhu." Gudu's face was full of glory. Even in the middle of the night, his energy was not diminished at all. "But you guys, why are you back at this hour?"
"Something urgent happened." Xili yawned and rubbed her eyes occasionally.
"Then you continue with your work. We'll go back and rest first." Zhiyao said, "By the way, I need to take another day off tomorrow. I still have some things to finish here."
After saying this, without waiting for Gu Du to ask further questions, the two of them returned to their residence without stopping. After entering the room, they first spread out their own quilts, and then took turns taking a shower.
Xili came first, Zhiyao came later.
And when Zhiyao came back after washing, she discovered something else - the low table that was placed between the two beds as a dividing line was removed by Xili.
Zhiyao didn't think too deeply about it and fell asleep in less than two minutes after getting into bed.
……
The next afternoon.
Bingshi Residence, the abyss of the cliff.
"We're already here, come out."
As Zhiyao finished speaking, the three people from Pinghuo left one after another.
"This is another gate to the underworld. It's also where I once fought. Hehe."
"Go quickly, you will find peace soon." Bai Ju continued.
Hearing this, Zhehuo nodded. Although he couldn't see, he still looked around. Finally, he stretched out his hands in the direction of the door based on his intuition and moved forward while groping.
Worried that she would trip, Zhiyao hurried to support her. At the same time, Yaoboji and Suzuka also supported Xiaoya and Qi respectively.
"Walk slowly, don't rush." Zhiyao advised considerately.
Pinghuo suddenly felt warm in his heart, nodded again in relief, and moved forward little by little with the support, then suddenly stopped when the distance was less than two meters.
"Brother Sikong..."
