Seeing Chen Feng's sudden embarrassment, Zhong Lei was a little nervous.

She wondered if she had said something wrong. Maybe she should lie and say that it was all for you.

But she was not good at lying and felt uncomfortable.

Zhong Lei was a very simple person with a very straightforward personality.

She originally only liked music and could not hold anything else in her eyes.

The reason she liked music was that she had a great dream.

The root of her dream was very naive and very real.

"Leave something for this world."

Just ten simple words.

Some people often mention it, and then become a joke in their casual remarks.

Some people do it all their lives, turning jokes into myths.

Zhong Lei is the second type of person, who doesn't mention it, but insists on it willfully.

There are three reasons why Chen Feng can attract Zhong Lei.

First, Chen Feng's "music" completely hit her.

This is what Chen Feng thought, but he didn't know that this was not the decisive factor.

To attract Zhong Lei, talent alone is not enough.

Even if Chen Feng copied her own songs and resonated with her, it would not be enough. There

is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts.

Being able to jump into the art field where no one is convinced by anyone is beyond ordinary people's imagination, and even unreasonable, but she did it.

In the first timeline, she debuted as a pop singer, with a humble identity, she withstood the pressure of Zhou A, and relied on her own ability to fight her way out of the blood, rising against the current like a grassroots hero.

After becoming famous, she still had to face all kinds of difficulties alone without relying on any power, but she was fearless and finally achieved such achievements, becoming an idol that transcends the times.

The stubbornness in her character may be stronger than Chen Feng imagined.

She has a weird absolute self-confidence in her bones and will not admit defeat to anyone, including Chen Feng.

Even though she admires Chen Feng's creative ability to the extreme and even wants to become his apprentice, what she wants in her heart is still to catch up with or even surpass him.

She knows how to respect teachers, but she will not follow blindly, which is why she dropped out of school.

She will not indulge in the songs written by Chen Feng for her, and she is still tirelessly pursuing her own inspiration.

The second reason is that Chen Feng saved her life.

The third point is the most important.

Zhong Lei smelled the sense of responsibility in Chen Feng, the aura of a like-minded person, and the degree was much deeper than hers.

Zhong Lei once asked Chen Feng, "Why are you always so busy and tired, don't you want to rest?"

At that time, she already had a guess in her heart, just wanting to get a definite answer from Chen Feng.

Now, Chen Feng has been silent, Zhong Lei waited for a long time, tilted her head, staring at him with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"Which... If you don't like me saying this, I can change my words. For example... All of this is for you or something..."

Chen Feng covered his face, "But don't."

Damn it.

He thought about it again, there was no way out, so he had to take drastic measures.

Chen Feng tentatively asked, "What if I change my mind and ask you to stop composing now. As long as you promise me, we will get married right away, how about that?"

Zhong Lei was stunned, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"No, I'm serious. This song is too difficult. I don't want you to waste your youth in vain."

Zhong Lei was puzzled again, "Can't I write it after getting married? There is no conflict between the two."

Chen Feng shook his head, "It's different. This song is not a love song. After getting married, you will be sweet and tedious all day long. How can you write such a grand thing?"

"Do you look down on me?"

"No!"

"Okay, I can pretend to promise you, then get married, and then write it secretly, and publish it after we die. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Chen Feng was dumbfounded again.

Sure enough, I underestimated her. This is the real her. She is not that honest. Once she makes up her mind, nothing can change it.

"This..."

He thought quietly. It seems that this is also a perfect solution.

At this moment, Zhong Lei next to him suddenly let go of his hand, turned around and pressed the railing by the lake with both hands, and said faintly: "Actually, you don't like me, right? You used marriage as a condition before, just to force me to finish this song, right?"

Chen Feng's heart skipped a beat and he shuddered. "I... I..."

Zhong Lei's tone sounded a little depressed. "You really look down on me."

Chen Feng turned his face away. He suddenly couldn't continue.

Zhong Lei added: "I don't need any conditions to do anything. I'm just a little sad. You said I wouldn't lie, and you said the same. In fact, I knew from the beginning that you didn't like me. A conditional relationship is not a real relationship."

"I'm... I'm sorry."

He said it.

Sure enough, lying is a very difficult thing.

"I knew it from the beginning, so you don't have to say sorry. I used to be a person who could please others, and it's good that you didn't hate me. No, you hated me at the beginning."

Chen Feng shook his head, "No." "

You are lying again."

Chen Feng: "Okay, a little bit, but it's not serious."

Zhong Lei: "What happened later?"

"I don't hate you anymore."

Zhong Lei: "But after you stop hating me, you feel guilty about me, and this makes you uncomfortable?"

Chen Feng felt that he was completely seen through, "Yes... yes. Why do you know so much? Have you studied psychology?"

Zhong Lei suddenly smiled again and shook her head sweetly, "I haven't studied psychology, but I have studied you. I don't understand what you have been through, but I understand your mood changes. I understand you better than anyone else in this world. Maybe better than you yourself."

Chen Feng: "This..."

Zhong Lei said again: "Are you worried that if I find out that you are using me, I will hate you?"

Chen Feng nodded, "Yes."

He really wanted to be a ghost, or find a rope to hang himself.

It's terrible.

So she knows everything?

I lied to her and was actually playing with fire and getting burned?

It's not easy for anyone to leave a name in history alone.

I accidentally lost myself in the innocence she disguised with emotions, and unknowingly, I kept exposing myself. I

was completely seen through!

What was she going to do today? Did she want to strip me naked?

Since she knew it a long time ago, we were married in so many timelines before. This...

Chen Feng got the answer immediately.

Zhong Lei: "Actually, your worry is unnecessary. I like you, and it has nothing to do with whether you like me or not."

Chen Feng: "Ah?"

"Didn't I just say that conditional feelings are not true feelings. Feelings are not an exchange. Whether you like me or not has no effect on me."

Chen Feng waved his hands repeatedly, "Oh, no, aren't you a bachelor?"

Zhong Lei nodded, "Yes, because I originally thought that I would never be able to like others in my life, and at the same time, I will not settle with someone I don't like, so I plan to be single for the rest of my life." Chen Feng

wanted to give her a thumbs up.

Zhong Lei spread her hands again, "Besides, you just don't like me that much, there must be a little... right? I'm good-looking, I sing well, I'm so loyal, and now I'm so gentle to you, even a heart of stone will melt, right?"

Chen Feng blushed, "Yes... a little."

"It's just that you can't get rid of the guilt, right?"

Zhong Lei nodded, "So, be completely honest. This way you won't feel guilty. Then you only need to use a little bit of your love to get all of me. I will be very happy in my life, even if it continues like this, I am also very happy, I just hope you can be more relaxed."

"Of course, no matter what happens to us next, I will complete everything I can and write the songs you want and the songs I want. The reason why I was angry when I said you looked down on me is actually here."

This is her, who can understand everything, but makes her life so simple.

Seeing that Chen Feng was still considering, Zhong Lei hooked her hand around his shoulder and shook him, "Also, you are a very complicated person. You always like to think too much in your head and your life is very tiring. But, this is what I like about you, do you understand? You feel much better now, right?"

Chen Feng nodded, "Yes, much better."

"Be honest?"

"Be honest. But I have to think about where to start."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to organize your words."

At this moment, Ryan came over and said hello, "Chen Feng, we have to go back and rest first. When are you leaving?"

Chen Feng turned around and was about to speak, but Zhong Lei glared at Ryan fiercely, "We still have something to say! You guys go and do your thing!"

Ryan shrank his neck and ran away quickly, looking weird.

Before they knew it, it was already past ten o'clock. There was something to do tomorrow after all. The crowd gradually dispersed, and even the waiters left after cleaning up the scene.

Fatty Ou settled down in the guest room of Caiweilou, and Uncle Long took care of him.

After all, Song Siyu was a lady from a wealthy family, so she had to go home.

In the end, only a few people were left in Caiweilou, Lu Wei, Zheng Rou, Fatty, and Uncle Long.

When most of the people had left, Chen Feng and Zhong Lei returned to the small table in the middle of the courtyard and sat down.

There were also new snacks, nuts and drinks on the table, as well as a cup of hot strong tea and juice.

Chen Feng held the teacup and activated his galactic human brain. He thought for nearly half an hour before he spoke slowly in a low voice.

"My dream is real, not a dream."

Zhong Lei was shocked, but she remained calm and said, "Just keep talking. I'm listening. Don't worry about me. I'll listen quietly."

Chen Feng nodded, "I've seen the future and experienced the future...many times."

From then on, he was talking the whole time and Zhong Lei was listening.

She tried to stay quiet and be a perfect listener.

Zhong Lei almost covered her mouth and screamed countless times when she heard the thrilling parts. She was worried about him.

But she heard again and again that he really died in battle, and her worries became reality. Her hanging heart fell to the ground again and again in a very strange posture.

She tried not to disturb Chen Feng's narration, but this long story was too tiring to listen to.

He talked for four hours, and the time came to 3:30 in the morning.

"That's probably what happened. These are what I have always kept in my heart. At first I thought it was a dream, but I brought back your songs, and other people's songs, as well as "A Collection of Madman's Conjectures" and the things that Xingfeng Research Institute is working on. The future has been changing, and I want to win once."

Chen Feng crossed his hands and looked at her calmly.

Zhong Lei pondered for a long time, trying to digest everything Chen Feng said.

After a long while, she said, "Let's start from the beginning when you copied my song."

Chen Feng said, "Well, I want to say sorry to you again. All the songs I wrote for you were originally yours. I also sold your songs to many people. The feeling that I am your soulmate in your heart is an illusion. It is like that because the songs are originally yours, you are easily touched."

Zhong Lei nodded, "Do you think you are a shameless thief who deceives the world and steals the reputation? You are not as good as I hoped, and you have wasted many of my lives. Right?"

Chen Feng: "Yes, now you know it. It doesn't matter if you hate me, dislike me, or even don't believe me."

Zhong Lei had a complicated expression and asked again: "It really doesn't matter?"

Chen Feng crossed his hands, "Actually, it still feels a little bit, but I can't help it."

"You are so dishonest."

Chen Feng: "Anyway, I have thought about it. Maybe your feelings for me are all illusions. I didn't dare to say it before, but now that I am sure you can complete "Morning Breeze", I dare to say it."

"Let me think about it first." Zhong Lei fell into a long thought, her expression became solemn.

After a long time, she sighed, "This situation is too confusing!"

Chen Feng shrugged, "Yes. But you don't have to worry about other things, just take care of our business. Even if you scold me or beat me up, it's fine. If this makes you happy, it's fine."

"After all, compared to you, I was ordinary and humble in the past, and I was not worthy of you at all. I once deceived myself into being an actor for the rest of my life, and accepted your favor with peace of mind, but I found that this matter made me confused and interfered with my own judgment. I couldn't even figure out what to do correctly."

Zhong Lei rubbed her temples and shook her head, "Wait, don't talk first, I'll slow down, my mind is a little confused, I need to sort it out again."

Chen Feng waited for the verdict in anxiety.

No matter how nice her love words were before, Chen Feng believed that once she found out that everything was an illusion, her heart would inevitably change again.

After a long time, Zhong Lei: "Tell me, why did you copy my songs in the beginning? To make money?"

"I think it was a little bit of that purpose. Actually, I was also embarrassed at first, but you were so rude to me at that time, I was so angry."

Zhong Lei: "So you stole my work?"

"Yeah."

Zhong Lei suddenly laughed, "Not surprising, this is your personality. When you taught me how to fool Lin Youde, I knew you were a very sinister person."

Chen Feng nodded awkwardly, "Yes."

"What happened next? We became friends, but you still copied my songs? Are you a professional at killing people you know?"

Chen Feng: "Ahem, I caught you copying because you're the best. If I let you sing your songs, you'll definitely become famous, and it's the safest way. I need to accumulate wealth as quickly as possible, so I chose the safest and easiest way."

"So our careers have already started, and you and Fatty O have also hooked up, but you still copy me? You even rode a motorcycle to the scene of the car accident to copy me, and even stood by the fire and played guitar for me. Why?"

Chen Feng was even more embarrassed, "Because I found that you are so strong that no matter how I copy, it seems that there is no negative impact on you, and the songs you write are getting better and better. I hope to squeeze your potential and let you leave more behind."

Zhong Lei: "For example?"

"Bath of Fire, Self-Ignition, all the songs in the Music Box, and of course "Morning Breeze", are all works you have never created. The same goes for "Sleepwalking Virgo", I have heard it before, but you didn't give me the opportunity to copy it."

"So I am just a spontaneous leek, the more you cut the leeks, the denser they become, right?"

"Actually, I treated you like a sheep with hair growth agent."

"I'll beat you to death."

Zhong Lei hammered him a few times.

Chen Feng was confused, "Aren't you angry?"

"Of course I'm angry."

"But you..."

Zhong Lei suddenly changed the subject: "You didn't plan to save the world at first?"

"Yeah, because I felt I couldn't do it."

"But then you went anyway."

"I originally just wanted to be a soldier and try it out, to figure out how I died and whether I could live a few more days. Who knew that after this trip, there would be no turning back."

"This is your personality. You are just like me. You dare not open your heart easily. Once you let others walk in, you can't get away."

Zhong Lei took a sip of juice and said, "You just said that you went to war every time after the fourth time, right?" "

Yeah."

"Did you die every time?"

"Yeah."

"What about your friends in the barracks? What about others?"

"They are all dead. They keep dying."

"Alas, in your world, mankind has been extinct seven times."

"Yes, I'm trying to prevent the eighth time from happening."

Zhong Lei suddenly asked softly, "Are you sad?"

"It's fine."

"You lied again."

"Ah?"

"You still want to lie to me? Do you think I'm blind? Can't you see that you're depressed all day long, and you have so many worries in your heart like a galaxy?"

"Okay, I'm still sad."

"Can you tell me the specific story of you and your comrades?"

"Okay."

She knew about Tang Tianxin's existence. At first, she felt a little jealous and secretly scolded others for being unruly in her heart, but later she knew that the thinking of humans in that era was controlled, and everything they did was reasonable.

Later, she heard that Chen Feng and Tang Tianxin's daughter could not be born again and again.

Chen Feng spoke in a calm tone, as if he was a bystander, but Zhong Lei could sense his mood swings from his slightly trembling voice, and her tears could not stop flowing.

Chen Feng spoke for another two hours. Before they knew it, the whole night had passed and the sky outside was turning pale.

It was almost dawn.

After listening, Zhong Lei turned her head to look at the sky in the distance and whispered, "I can't imagine how you managed to survive the blows of sacrificing again and again and watching the people you care about die again and again. I tried hard to put myself in your shoes, but I could only vaguely grasp that feeling."

Zhong Lei raised her chin slightly, and the tears that seemed to be endless in her eyes began to flow again.

Chen Feng held her hand, "You don't have to put yourself in her shoes, you just need to know."

"If you don't put yourself in her shoes, how can I forgive you for having someone else in your heart and even having a child soon?"

Chen Feng: "..."

After a long time, Zhong Lei kept rubbing her eyes, "Secular concepts and rationality want me to hate her, but I can't do it."

Chen Feng was silent for a moment, "I'm sorry to put you in this dilemma."

"But I appreciate your honesty with me, and it has dispelled the doubts I once had." As she said that, she stood up suddenly and threw herself into Chen Feng's arms, "You have had it so hard. You should have told me earlier!"

Her emotions finally got out of control.

Chen Feng patted her back for a long time, and she finally slowly came to her senses.

He asked again: "It's so unbelievable, why did you believe it so easily? Isn't this the most unreal lie from the worst scumbag in history?"

Zhong Lei broke away and hit him with tears and laughter.

"Go to hell, if you were a scumbag, would you reject Lu Wei? And long before you started talking, I had made up my mind that no matter what you said, I would believe it."

Chen Feng looked at her happily, "Thank you."

Zhong Lei rubbed her eyes and patted Chen Feng on the shoulder, "Why thank me, it's you who have worked hard."

"It's okay, there's nothing we can do anyway, we can only hold on."

Zhong Lei listened to his reluctantly relieved tone, and remembered that he had been facing her with the guilt of being a thief for more than half a year, forcing himself to smile, and even had to face her burning feelings.

In fact, he is very pitiful.

He is not afraid of death, but he can't stand the guilt of deceiving himself.

What a fool, you obviously love me so much.

Zhong Lei suddenly leaned forward and grabbed Chen Feng's hand again, "I don't know how we were strangers in the timelines of your first and second experiences. After all, that was a future I had never experienced, and to me, it didn't exist."

"I don't care about a future that didn't happen. I only care about the present. I only know that without you, I would not have become who I am today in just half a year. I have used half a year to complete the journey that would have taken a lifetime to complete. Instead, I should thank you."

Chen Feng looked into her eyes, "Don't be like that."

"I want to ask you another question."

"What?"

"Did I like you before?"

"Didn't I say it? We weren't familiar with each other before."

"Then do you think I like you now because of your talent or something else?" Zhong Lei emphasized the word talent.

"No."

Zhong Lei: "Everyone is a complete person. The so-called talent is only a part of you. No matter whether your talent is real or fake, it is still only a part of you. If I really like you only because of your creative ability, then I am no different from those women who throw themselves into your arms just to ask you to sing for them."

Chen Feng was stunned. Are the only-child people so good at self-conquest?

Am I... am I that good?

"Guess when I first realized I might like you."

"When I saved you on my motorcycle?"

"You're right. It has nothing to do with whether you copied the song or not, right?"

"Yes."

"Did you acquire the incredible athletic ability you displayed at that time in the future military camp?"

"Yes."

"The time you saved Ryan was even more shocking than when you saved me. Was it hard for you to train to learn these skills?"

"It was hard at the beginning." "

What happened later?"

"Later, I became too strong. It was hard for my trainers and those who trained with me, but not for me."

"You see, you were not so outstanding at the beginning, and you even wanted to hide away and be an ostrich. But then you changed. You became no longer ordinary. I was attracted to you like this. But no matter who you are at any time, you are still you. Maybe this is your true nature, but you didn't have the opportunity to show it in the previous timeline."

Chen Feng thought for a while, "You are right." "

Then you are certainly worthy of me."

Chen Feng: "Uh..."

"I was shocked today. To be on the safe side, you should continue to give me future songs. I also want to see where my limits are. Then, I have to put some pressure on myself. You still wait for me. When I write this song, we will get married. How about that?"

Chen Feng thought for a few seconds, "Okay."

He confessed to Zhong Lei today, but nothing changed. He just felt a lot more relaxed.

Zhong Lei is indeed a strange woman. She cannot be judged by common sense.

He laughed cheerfully and looked silly.

Seeing Chen Feng's completely relieved look, Zhong Lei also laughed.

If it is really as you said, I was too indifferent in the past and finally missed you.

That is my problem, not yours.

That's life.

Many women spend their entire lives waiting for their Mr. Right, but they never get to meet him.

When you are over 30, you have to go on blind dates while complaining, and then get married and have children numbly, or just grow old alone and start complaining about the unfairness of fate.

In fact, you have met someone at some point in time, but just missed him/her.

I once missed you, just like Fatty and Song Siyu once missed each other.

It won’t happen this time.

Chen Feng, you have been changing.

Your changes make me curious about you, and make me always want to try hard to figure out the meaning behind every word you say. The more I try, the more I can’t help myself.

Now I like you even more.

She stared at Chen Feng blankly again, watching his figure lengthen in the light of the morning sun.

She took a deep breath and thought to herself. If

you want to dispel the darkness against the light, you are destined to bear too much suffering alone.

You told the story in a very calm tone, but you must have wandered in loneliness and cried silently in despair.

You also worry that no one in the world can understand you, so you always cover it up with a false smile.

But from now on, I choose to believe you, and you have to believe me.

I will never let you stand alone at the end of civilization again.

I will try to understand all your motives.

If I burn my whole life, I can help you.

How can I not have a part in such a great mission?

I have no regrets and will never retreat.

Together we will create more miracles in this era.

Believe in us, and you have to believe in your future self.

Just when Zhong Lei was in a daze, Chen Feng stood up, stretched his back, and said, "Okay, you haven't slept all night, go and rest."

"Okay."

The two wanted to go home directly, but unexpectedly, Lu Wei also ran out from the back room with dark circles under her eyes, and forcibly pulled the two back and settled down in the guest room.

Zhong Lei slept until the afternoon. When she woke up, Chen Feng, Lai En, Ou Junlang, Meng Xiaozhou, and Lu Wei were sitting in the yard.

None of the servants and waiters in Caiweilou were there. They should have all been called back home.

"Are you awake? Wash your face first and eat something. I have something to announce."

Chen Feng said to her.

Zhong Lei nodded.

Twenty minutes later, everyone finally arrived, and Chen Feng stood up.

He held a fist-sized stone in his palm.

"I'm going to announce something. Let me give you a heads up. No matter how unbelievable my words sound, you should not have any doubts. In order to prevent you from thinking that I'm bragging, I'll show you a trick first."

After saying that, he picked up the stone and exerted force with his five fingers.

The stone cracked with a snap, and then exploded, and dust flew all over the sky.
