The initiative to go back is not in Xie Mi's hands, but she can seize it.
She made her plan the moment she and Xu Shuangrong looked at each other at the entrance of the unfinished building last night.
This farce cannot be allowed to continue, she will come to Xu Shuangrong today and put an end to everything.
It just so happened that Chen Yuqing chose today to say goodbye to her, which was exactly what she wanted.
So when he saw Xu Shuangrong running away, Xie Mi pulled out a fruit knife and rushed forward without hesitation.
He threatened Xiao Jingxi with a knife before because he knew that the initiative was not in Xiao Jingxi's hands, and it would be useless to take real action.
When facing Xu Shuangrong, there is no need to waste time, just do it.
"Don't want to go back? Then die!"
Xie Mi laughed, revealing the most ferocious and terrifying look in his life, and swung his knife down without a single pause.
Xu Shuangrong didn't even have time to judge whether Xie Mi was serious before the tip of the knife was already against her neck.
Even a second longer and it would have pierced her skin.
At the critical moment, the system's voice rang out joyfully, accompanied by the background sound of gongs, drums, singing and dancing.
[System: There is no other way. There is really no other way. We can only go back.]
[System: Come home often, come home often, even if you help your mother wash the chopsticks and dishes. The elderly don’t expect their children to make great contributions to the family.]
Amid the unpleasant singing, a blinding white light flashed before my eyes.
…
Inside the dessert shop, the cool breeze from the air conditioner was blowing, and the environment inside the store was exceptionally quiet.
There was only a straw left in the milk tea cup on the table opposite.
Chen Yuqing was still staring at the photo on his phone.
Until the face with closed eyes and bright smile in the photo completely disappeared.
The boy's fingertips that were stroking the photo finally fell, and the sound was very light.
"Goodbye, Sixth Sister."
besides,
"wait for me."
…
Xie Mi suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up from the bed!
After taking a closer look, I realized that she seemed to be in a hospital ward.
There were two more beds next to them, with Xiao Jingxi and Xu Shuangrong lying on them respectively. Both were sleeping with their eyes closed, with IV drips in their hands.
The voices of the program staff came from outside the door.
"I guess it's just the unfamiliar climate. Otherwise, I can't explain why he suddenly fell into a coma. Fortunately, the doctor said that it would be fine with an IV drip. It's not a big deal."
"But it's really strange. It's ok that Emperor Xiao and Teacher Xu fainted together for no apparent reason, but even Teacher Xie, who wasn't with them, was unconscious."
“It’s probably because Mr. Xie drank too much. Didn’t Mr. Shen say they were drinking?”
…
After listening to the conversation outside, Xie Mi roughly understood the current situation.
The previous time I traveled back in time was less than 24 hours, so in reality I just slept for a short while.
This time I traveled through time and space for several days, and in reality I slept for a few more hours.
Thinking of this, Xie Mi slowly narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people who had not yet woken up on the bed next to him.
Gradually an evil smile appeared.
One wants to kill people, and the other likes to hide in the dark and act like a coward, right? Isn't this a case of the tide turning?
…
When Xie Mi came out of the ward, the assistant director who was dozing off at the door was immediately awakened.
Seeing Xie Mi standing there in high spirits, her eyes suddenly filled with tears.
"Teacher Xie, you finally woke up, wuwuwu, do you feel okay now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Wuwuwu, I'm going to kill that guy Niu Bi..."
Niu Bi came out of the elevator carrying seafood porridge: "?"
Did I provoke you?
However, he was also concerned about the health of the guests. When he saw Xie Mi coming out, he immediately approached with concern. "Teacher Xie, you are awake. Are you still dizzy? Do you have muscle weakness? You must be hungry. Come and eat some porridge. The doctor said that you'd better rest in the hospital tonight. We will be ready to return tomorrow morning. This time I was inconsiderate. I didn't expect the acclimatization problem to be so serious..."
Looking at the crying assistant director and the nagging director Niu, Xie Mi truly felt that she was back.
And the brave and passionate 16-year-old boy stayed in that afternoon dessert shop and became alone again.
She suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly.
"Where are the others now?"
"Are there any other guests? I've arranged for them to go back to the hotel and rest first. After all, they have to leave early tomorrow morning. Fortunately, the hotel is next to the hospital, not far away... Hey, Teacher Xie, where are you going? The doctor said you need to have a good rest!"
The only response they got was Xie Mi's agile back and his voice gradually fading away.
"I'll be back soon—"
As if even the time to wait for the elevator was too slow, Xie Mi ran straight down the stairs.
She ran quickly, with only the whistling of the wind in her ears, and her steps never stopped.
It was not until today that she understood everything.
Every complex and restrained look that Chen Yuqing gave her, every time that Chen Yuqing wanted to say something to her but stopped, every time that Chen Yuqing waited when he was alone and quiet.
So that's how it is.
It was not just two encounters in childhood, but also a promise made in youth, and a wait with no end in sight during that long and lonely time.
Xie Mi ran out of the hospital in one breath, but his expression suddenly paused.
In the pupils, the man's figure under the moonlight was clearly reflected.
He just stood there quietly, looking up at the night sky, the moonlight casting a soft veil over his profile.
Those beautiful peach blossom eyes were deep and dim. They were clearly shrouded in the halo of moonlight, yet seemed to hide endless sorrow.
This kind of expression was something Xie Mi had never seen before.
At this moment, Chen Yuqing finally seemed to have regained some of his youth, or perhaps he had never changed.
Xie Mi's pace gradually slowed down, and he walked towards the figure step by step.
The man's eyes moved slightly, and he slowly lowered his eyes to look over.
"Thank you, teacher."
He spoke, his voice soft and gentle, with a faint smile on his face as always.
"You're awake."
Although his tone was calm and relaxed, his eyes kept fixed on Xie Mi's face.
It seems like he is expecting something, but he is restraining himself, fearing that his hopes will be dashed.
A slightly cool autumn breeze blew by, and the swaying leaves finally fell gently and landed at their feet.
Xie Mi finally walked up to him, raised his head, curved his eyes and smiled faintly.
"Zhongchen, look."
“It’s autumn.”
Chen Yuqing paused slightly, the scattered light in his eyes gradually condensed, and his heartbeat began to beat violently after a brief pause.
He finally lowered his head and chuckled. His laughter was as gentle and pleasant as autumn water. It had a bewitching charm, yet it was pure and warm.
"Thank you, teacher."
Under the moonlight, his smiling eyes looked at her intently and sincerely.
Firm, yet extremely gentle.
"Our first autumn has arrived."
