31 Chapter 31: Finale
◎"There is always someone like you, lifelong happiness"◎
They can't go back to their original world.
This is Wu Yahua's premonition and conclusion.
In the original world, Xie Yun's parents were separated, and she and Xie Yun would not be together. In this world, she and Xie Yun would not be together either, because his parents were also separated.
In order to have a relationship with Xie Yun, she has to go to a parallel world where his parents are still together.
But now they haven't even found a way to return to their original world, so it's impossible to choose a parallel world that meets the requirements.
Wu Yahua sat at the desk, thinking hard, and wrote the two words "Chen Xi" and the word "cat" on the paper with a pen.
She believes that at present, there are only two things that can help her find a way to reverse time and space: either find Chen Xi, or she can turn into a cat again.
Chen Xi is not something she can summon at will. She can only see Chen Xi in a special illusion.
As for how she turned into a cat, that was even more mysterious. Until now, Wu Yahua didn't know how she turned into a cat. She didn't know whether it was because she helped the old lady cross the street that triggered some mysterious energy, or because she saw Chen Xi walking out of the dormitory in a hallucination before she turned into a cat. She suspected that Chen Xi had put something in the water dispenser and turned into a cat after drinking the problematic water.
What on earth is this Shen Xi?
Is there really water in the world that can turn people into cats after drinking it?
Wu Yahua held her chin with her hand, twirling the pen with her fingers, staring at the black bugs flying around the desk lamp. If she and Xie Yun could both come to a parallel world, what impossible thing could happen?
Wu Yahua's cognition and world outlook were reshaped.
The pen spinning on my fingertips stopped, fell and rolled to the ground.
Wu Yahua bent down to pick up the pen, but found that she could not find the pen she had just dropped. She did not believe it, so she pulled the chair away and turned on the flashlight on her mobile phone to illuminate every hidden corner.
Roommate Huang Ziming saw Wu Yahua lying on the ground looking for something and asked, "Huahua, what are you looking for?"
"My pen just fell to the ground and disappeared."
"Your pen is on the table."
Wu Yahua sat up and saw the exact same pen on the table.
How could it be...
Wu Yahua clearly remembered that this pen had fallen on the ground, but now it appeared on the table.
Wu Yahua took the pen and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, she had an idea. This time, she intentionally dropped the pen on the ground. When she looked up, the pen appeared on the table again.
Something is wrong.
Wu Yahua immediately called Xie Yun.
As soon as Xie Yun received the call, he heard Wu Yahua say, "Quick, take a pen and stand in front of the desk. Then throw the pen on the ground and see where it lands."
Xie Yun didn't ask why, he just did as he was told. Wu Yahua must have her reasons for asking him to do this.
However, Xie Yun did not find the pen that should have fallen on the ground.
When Xie Yun was wondering where the pen had gone, Wu Yahua said on the phone, "Can you see if there's a pen on the table?"
When Xie Yun saw this, he lost his composure and opened his mouth slightly in surprise.
The pen is indeed on the table!
Hearing Xie Yun not speaking on the phone, Wu Yahua asked, "How is it? Is it on the table?"
"Yes..." Xie Yun picked up the pen on the table and checked it, and found that this pen was exactly the same as the pen he dropped on the ground.
"Is there anyone else next to you? Have someone try and see if the pen appears on the table or remains on the floor if it is dropped."
At Wu Yahua's request, Xie Yun looked at Jiang Yubai who was sitting behind him and concentrating on playing games.
"Drop the pen." Xie Yun handed the pen to Jiang Yubai.
Jiang Yubai raised his head and heard Xie Yun's words clearly, but he didn't understand why he did that. In order to hear Xie Yun's words again, he took off his headphones and asked, "What?"
"Put down the pen." Xie Yun said.
"Why?"
Xie Yun: "Just throw it away if I tell you to."
Jiang Yubai took the pen with a puzzled look on his face, then threw it down as Xie Yun requested.
The pen fell to the ground, not appeared on the table.
Xie Yun turned around and walked out of the dormitory, saying to Wu Yahua on the phone, "Where are you? Let's meet."
Wu Yahua was also walking out of the dormitory.
"I'm just coming out. See you at Fountain Square."
"good."
The two hung up the phone and walked towards the fountain square at the same time.
Wu Yahua arrived at the fountain square first. After Xie Yun arrived, Wu Yahua excitedly talked about her discovery, "In this world, only the two of us are special. We can't play by the rules. Only then can we break the barrier built by time."
Xie Yun understood what Wu Yahua meant and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Wu Yahua pointed to the lake next to the fountain and asked, "What do you think will happen if we jump into the lake?"
"Do you want to try it?" Xie Yun stretched out his hand to her.
Wu Yahua pulled his hand back and said with a smile: "Then you have to hold my hand tightly."
The two held hands and rushed into the lake in unison.
The witnesses rushed over to save the two, but were a step too late. They both fell into the lake and cried out for help: "Help! Help! A couple has committed suicide by jumping into the lake—"
After her head sank into the lake, Wu Yahua could no longer hear or see, but she could feel her hand being held tightly by Xie Yun.
After that, I didn’t even realize that my hand was being held, as if I had fallen asleep.
"Are you still sleeping? Get up quickly."
Xie Lili's voice appeared in my ears.
Wu Yahua listened to the sound and slowly opened her eyes, thinking that she would most likely be rescued from the lake and wake up in the hospital. But when she woke up, she found herself in a hotel room.
It was still dark outside the glass window with the wedding character on it.
Wu Yahua looked around and found that this was a carefully decorated wedding room, with wedding decorations hanging everywhere, and everywhere was a festive red.
The doorbell rang. Xie Lili looked like she had just gotten up and was combing her hair. She picked up the comb and went to open the door.
Two women came in pushing suitcases.
Xie Lili led them into the room. Three pairs of eyes saw Wu Yahua sitting on the bed motionless. Xie Lili said, "Huahua, what are you standing there for? Get up quickly."
Seeing Wu Yahua's confused eyes, Xie Lili said, "What's wrong? Don't you recognize them?"
Wu Yahua looked at them and tried hard to recall, to confirm that she did not know them and had no memory of them.
"Look, you're so sleepy now. You woke up so early and you look so stupid." Xie Lili dragged Wu Yahua out of bed and took her to sit in front of the dressing table. "You went to someone's studio to try on bridal makeup just a week ago."
At this time, Wu Yahua calmed down and realized that today was her wedding day.
Unable to figure out the timeline for the time being, in order to avoid exposing herself and being thought mentally ill, Wu Yahua resisted the urge to ask who the groom was or what year it was in 2009.
With the busy work of the makeup artist and hairstylist, Wu Yahua in the mirror was dressed up radiantly. She changed into a wedding gown and wore a phoenix-shaped gold locket around her neck. Wu Yahua weighed it with her hand and it was very heavy.
Xie Lili checked the time and urgently pulled Wu Yahua to sit on the bed. "It's too late. Hurry up and sit on the bed. The groom's wedding party is here."
At 6:05 in the morning, the groom, who had successfully passed the checkpoint, entered the hotel room.
Wu Yahua, holding a round fan, saw Xie Yun appear surrounded by a crowd of people.
The two looked at each other. Wu Yahua was not sure about the other's origins and could not find a chance to talk to him. After the bride-picking game was over, Xie Yun, the groom, was going to carry Wu Yahua out on his back. At this time, Wu Yahua lay on his back and had the opportunity to ask.
“I love pineapples.”
Unfortunately, as soon as this sentence was uttered, someone next to him started firing firecrackers. With a bang, colorful ribbons fell all over the newlyweds. People around them screamed, and Xie Yun didn't hear clearly what Wu Yahua said.
After getting into the wedding car, the two people sitting in the back seat were as reserved as if they were meeting for the first time.
The person sitting in the passenger seat was Wu Yahua's cousin. When Wu Yahua wanted to tell Xie Yun the secret code again, the cousin started talking to Wu Yahua.
"You got married so hastily this time that your parents were traveling abroad and rushed back to attend your wedding."
After hearing what her cousin said, Wu Yahua knew that in this world, her parents were not divorced.
"My grandma..." Wu Yahua was not sure whether her grandma was alive now or had passed away long ago like in the old world. She deliberately said half of the words and left the other half for her cousin to say.
My cousin said, "Don't worry, Grandma has someone to pick you up from the countryside. She's probably sitting in the hotel where the wedding banquet is being held, waiting for you."
That's great.
Wu Yahua still wanted to know what had changed, but she had no idea how to ask. She suddenly looked at Xie Yun, who was standing next to her without saying a word. Xie Yun was originally looking out the window, but when he noticed that she was looking at him, he turned his head and looked at her.
"I love eating pineapples." This is what Xie Yun said.
My cousin turned around and said to Xie Yun, "What? Pineapple? Where can I find pineapples in this season?"
-
Before the wedding ceremony began, Wu Yahua, wearing a slim-fitting wedding dress with a nipped waist, held up the hem of her dress and spun around in front of a full-length mirror.
At this moment she was unaware of the sense of déjà vu.
Until, under the guidance of the wedding supervisor, he walked out of the dressing room and met Xie Yun outside the ceremony hall.
In order to match the style of the suit, Xie Yun wore a pair of black gloves on his hands. When Wu Yahua saw the black gloves, the fragmented bits and pieces in her mind gathered together.
The wedding supervisor said, "Come, our beautiful bride put her hand on the arm of our handsome groom."
Ever since she put her arm around Xie Yun's arm, Wu Yahua has been holding back her tears.
When the door of the ceremony hall was pushed open, a beam of light shone in and fell on Wu Yahua's sparkling wedding dress. Wu Yahua could no longer hold back and lowered her eyes and burst into tears.
Witnessed by relatives and friends in the ceremony hall, everyone saw the bride walking and crying while holding the groom's arm.
"Are you crying because you are excited about marrying me? Or are you dissatisfied with the outcome and regret marrying me?" Xie Yun felt in his suit pocket.
Not a single tissue was found.
As they were about to walk onto the stairs to the main stage, Xie Yun bent down to help lift the hem of Wu Yahua's wedding dress.
Wu Yahua sobbed and said, "Believe it or not, I've dreamt of this exact scene before."
The wedding dress was exactly the same, the scene was exactly the same, and the groom's face, which was not clear at the beginning, was still not clear now, because Wu Yahua's eyes were blurred with tears.
After successfully stepping over the stairs, Xie Yun stood still, facing Wu Yahua on the main stage, and wiped the tears shining on her face with his fingertips.
Xie Yun said, "In Borges' book 'The Garden of Forking Paths,' there's a passage that says the parallel multiverse explanation of quantum mechanics says that in the garden of forking paths, there's always a path that leads people to happiness at every point in their lives. On that path of complete happiness, there's only one you walking. In every unforgettable choice, there's always one you who has chosen the right path. In the vast, countless universes, there's always one you who will live a lifetime of happiness."
