Chapter 152 Intertwined
[I must get up early tomorrow, earlier than Lu Zhongnian.]
【I need to sort out my thoughts, and then...】
* Week 1
Mu Yu opened his eyes in the darkness.
It was daybreak, and dim light seeped into the room through the gaps in the curtains. He huddled in a corner of the bed, feeling sore all over.
The room was very quiet, except for his breathing, there was another more even breathing sound.
The memory of the previous night came back instantly, Mu Yu's toes curled up and her cheeks began to feel hot.
He raised his head quietly.
The boy was sleeping in front of him, facing sideways, his black hair was messy from sleeping, his eyes were closed, and his eyelashes were long. It was Lu Zhongnian whom he had never seen before.
It’s hard to describe my mood at this moment.
Mu Yu's heart was beating wildly. She felt shy and nervous, happy and uneasy.
After lying quietly for a while to calm down, he got up quietly and looked for his cell phone... His clothes were scattered all over the floor, and his cell phone was... ah, it turned out to be under the pillow.
Turn on the screen, 4:50.
It’s so early.
He breathed a sigh of relief - but fortunately, he woke up earlier than Lu Zhongnian.
* Second week
Lu Chongnian suddenly opened his eyes.
The light in the room was dim, but birds could be heard singing outside the window, heralding the arrival of morning.
He was lying on his side on the bed, and the boy was facing him, curled up in a ball, not yet awake.
Luo's shoulders exposed outside the quilt rose and fell with her breathing, her black hair was messy from sleeping, and there was a clear kiss mark under her slender neck.
...Lu Chongnian stared at this face.
After that, the room was extremely quiet for a minute.
At a certain moment, he propped himself up, grabbed a handful of hair, and his dark eyes turned to the bedside table.
Pick up the phone and tap the screen - 4:48.
This time, he was the one who woke up earlier.
He quietly lifted the quilt and put on his trousers. Then he walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked straight up into the sky.
It was daybreak.
In the lead-gray sky, thick clouds slowly drifted by.
A black crescent moon stretched across the sky, and at this moment, a huge, skinny, black hand shrank into the crescent moon.
It appeared silently and disappeared silently. In this vast land, perhaps only one human being has quietly glimpsed its true face at this moment.
Then, next to the crescent moon, a tiny light began to flicker.
It is falling towards the earth.
Like a distant star, it is flying towards the earth across the vast universe.
4:50
Is this the time when it all started?
Lu Zhongnian suddenly felt something and looked sideways behind him——
On the bed, Mu Yu still had his eyes closed, as if he was still asleep.
* Week 1
Mu Yu was secretly putting on her clothes halfway when she suddenly heard a voice coming from behind.
He was startled and looked back. Lu Chongnian had already woken up, and his pair of black eyes were looking at him intently with a hint of fatigue.
Mu Yu clearly felt that his face turned red all the way to his feet in an instant.
It's like doing something bad and getting caught.
Lu Zhongnian looked him up and down and opened his mouth.
Mu Yu felt a little guilty, so she said before he could speak: "I, I'm planning to go downstairs to have breakfast! Do you want to eat anything? I, I'll bring it up for you..."
Lu Chongnian closed his mouth.
There seemed to be a knowing smile in his eyes, as well as some unavoidable discomfort.
The boy lowered his eyes and laughed, "I can do anything."
After a pause, he continued, "You go down first. I'll wash up and come down soon."
There was a hint of hoarseness and laziness in his voice, which sounded very nice with his low and cold voice.
Mu Yu felt fortunate that the two of them could still have such a normal conversation, but he also felt a little lost and stressed that the issue was still unresolved.
He rushed to the bathroom, quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face, then opened the door.
Before walking out, he glanced at Lu Chongnian secretly.
The boy was sitting on the edge of the bed, halfway through a yawn, when he caught this look and stared straight into his eyes.
Mu Yu was startled and quickly slipped out of the room and closed the door.
The corridor was silent.
Wenshan Club was still asleep at five in the morning.
Mu Yu stood there quietly with his back against the door. After several seconds, he felt his breathing steady.
My palms are sweaty and my whole body is hot.
Come to think of it, yesterday was his birthday...
What a "wonderful" night.
ah.
He raised his hands and grabbed his hair, not knowing what he wanted to do at the moment. Maybe he wanted to shout in a deserted place, or maybe he wanted to run and jump around on the spot to release the shyness and excitement running rampant in his body.
Calm down!
While Lu Chongnian is still washing up in the room, think carefully about how to confess to him later!
Did he confess yesterday? I don't think so. The whole night was so chaotic and intense that he completely forgot...
Mu Yu lowered his head, bit his thumb joint, and was about to turn around and walk forward in the corridor when he suddenly noticed something out of the corner of his eye.
He turned around and found a strange ball of light floating silently in the air, only half a meter away from him.
He was stunned.
What is this?
When did you appear here?
* Second week
Lu Zhongnian walked back to the bed step by step and sat down gently.
The boy on the bed still had his eyes closed, but his natural breathing rhythm had unconsciously turned into a very deliberate slowness.
Four months.
A long time.
He reached out his hand and gently lifted the boy's hair, then lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead.
I could clearly feel the boy trembling.
Lu Zhongnian smiled and asked softly, "Awake?"
The boy finally opened his eyes.
The moment their eyes met, the smile on Lu Chongnian's face faded.
He couldn't tell what emotion was surging from his chest at this moment.
Is it the joy of regaining what was lost? Is it the hatred for the person who was at this point in time? Is it the desire to possess or protect? Or is it the disgust for the upcoming initial event?
Or maybe both.
He lifted Mu Yu's chin and bent down to kiss her.
There was no chance for Mu Yu to speak, nor was there any patience to wait any longer.
He vented all the feelings of those four months into this kiss, tearing apart the layer of paper that had covered them for the past three years and pouring them out into this kiss.
Lu Chongnian never thought of himself as a lustful person, but in his dreams, he had indeed kissed this person countless times.
For this absurd morning, for this unknown morning, for the future they cannot see clearly.
"Lu, Lu Chongnian..." When they separated, Mu Yu was panting, with a layer of physiological tears in his eyes, and his dazed look was full of questions.
Lu Zhongnian calmed his breathing and stroked his face: "It's still early, sleep a little longer."
He picked up the clothes on the floor, put them on, and stood up from the bed.
"Ah, where are you going?" Mu Yu sat up.
"Wait for me in the room," Lu Zhongnian said to him gently and calmly, "I'll go get some breakfast and be back soon."
…
The door closed behind him.
The corridor was empty.
Lu Zhongnian glanced calmly to the left. That was the end of the corridor, and a ball of light was slowly floating in from outside the terrace.
It looked somewhat like the ball lightning imagined by humans. When it floated to a position only half a meter away from him, the ball of light stopped on the spot and floated motionless in the air. Only the light around it was still flickering.
——On this morning that couldn't be more ordinary, in this place that couldn't be more ordinary, it seemed to have identified its prey so casually.
It used to be Mu Yu.
And now, it's him.
There was no cause or effect, as if it was just because they were the first to encounter it on this morning.
Lu Zhongnian stared at it, picked up his phone and made a call.
The phone beeped a few times before it was picked up, but the person on the other end didn't say anything.
Lu Zhongnian asked: "Where are you?"
Young Master Yan said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sleeping."
Lu Zhongnian said "hmm" and hung up the phone.
So, time went back, and he was the only one who returned to this moment with his memories.
Everything is clear now——
He turned and walked towards the ball of light.
Let’s get started.
Today, even if it’s not him and Mu Yu, it will be someone else in this club. No matter what, the initial event will happen this morning.
Lu Chongnian prefers to take his destiny into his own hands.
*
[This place is so grand! ]
[Several boys rushed into the club like monkeys. Hong Yang was a little speechless after sighing. He turned around and saw me and asked me what I was grinning about.]
【Where did I smile foolishly? 】
[You are just smiling foolishly, Ye Sui, you saw it too! ]
[…Ahem, I didn’t see anything.]
[I pretended to walk into the club naturally - it was a close call, I almost got caught.]
[Of course I am happy, after all, we haven’t seen each other for more than two months! ]
[Lu Chongnian will also be here today, and today is my birthday! Oh, how nice it would be if I could see him tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, every day in the future? ]

What would a person feel when touching ball lightning?
Did you fall to the ground with a bang before you could even come to your senses, or could you clearly feel the electric current splitting your limbs in an instant?
Anyway, it shouldn’t be like what he is like now—
When my fingers touched the ball of light, all I felt was a chill on my fingertips.
Mu Yu got goose bumps on his arms, and then he felt his phone vibrate.
He suddenly withdrew his hand, lowered his head, and was stunned again.
The phone screen went blank at some point, and four strange words "Game Start:" appeared at the top.
The cursor flashed four times after the colon, and suddenly a new line appeared with black words appearing one by one.
[1. Players and monsters are locked. Please keep the number of players constant during the game.]
【2. Kill a monster and the game will close. 】
Mu Yu was a little confused.
What's this?
…
Time flies by, rushing forward vigorously, and then retreating like a tide rushing ashore.
When time went back to the same moment, in another time and space, Lu Chongnian saw the two lines of words that appeared on his mobile phone. He lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes cast a shadow in his pupils.
So, these are the rules of the initial game.
He seemed to finally know how Mu Yu died.
