The cave was quiet, with only the sound of wind whistling through the cracks in the rocks.
Su Yi was stunned. It was the first time he heard someone admire someone as weak as himself. His ears turned slightly red and he looked very shy, but the wings behind him involuntarily spread out quietly, which was a sign of relaxation and happiness.
My mood is as light as a floating balloon, rising, rising, and rising into the blue sky, with cotton candy-like milky white clouds surrounding me.
Su Yi felt a happy neurochemical flowing in his elf's body, and his back felt hot. The wing bones stretched out spontaneously under the stimulation of the happy neurochemical. The thin elf wings flapped twice quickly, which was the elf's happy gesture.
"But me?..."
Su Yi's wings flapped and a breeze flowed, brushing against Bai Ye's silver hair. He said somewhat embarrassedly:
"I haven't done anything special for you. You are not interested in mathematics, right?"
The little elf in his arms exuded a soft breath, and Bai Ye felt like a cloud was blowing in his face, soft and fluffy, making his heart also become soft and tender.
But underneath this gentleness, there were many evil thoughts that only he knew about, eager to break out and wreak havoc as soon as the right moment came.
The scarlet pupils darkened. In the dark cave, Bai Ye slightly adjusted his lying position, not wanting to hold Su Yi too tightly, in case those evil thoughts hatched and rushed out to do evil. His voice was a little hoarse:
“You don’t need to do anything special; some people’s existence itself is special.
"You are just like that to me. Of course, I am the same to you, so we are in love. Well... you will understand when you recover your memory one day.
"Now, if you can't accept a romantic relationship for the time being, then just treat me as your teammate first, right? Let's team up to kill [Thriller Script Killing] together, you are responsible for making plans, and I am responsible for execution, how about it?"
Su Yi thought about it seriously. His weakness was his frail body and his negative fighting power, which held him back. Bai Ye's advantage was his strong physique and fighting power. They could fully complement each other and were a very suitable pair.
"Okay." Su Yi thought about it and nodded.
...It's great that his lover is a good communicator. Even in such a bad situation now, she is emotionally stable and sensible. They can talk whenever they have something to say and discuss the problem together.
Su Yi couldn't help but think, what if the "boyfriend" who ran in tonight was someone else, such as another guy with an unstable temperament, who risked his life and went through untold hardships to come to this dangerous world, and finally found him, but found that he had completely forgotten him and couldn't even call out his name, and had an emotional breakdown and went crazy on the spot, biting and forcing this weak elf, then what should he do?
Su Yi didn't know what to do. His memory had been wiped and he couldn't remember it. He couldn't offer anything to compensate the other party, and he didn't know how to comfort him. He didn't have enough strength to resist. The thought of it really scared him.
Wrapped in the warm and furry snow wolf, Su Yi gently leaned forward, moved closer to Bai Ye, and looked at him secretly and carefully, seeming to feel somewhat fortunate.
Bai Ye: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Su Yi shook his head, thought about it and said to Bai Ye seriously, "I...I will try my best to remember you."
Bai Ye laughed, reached out and touched the elf Su Yi's black and soft hair, trying to soothe him to sleep. Suddenly, his eyes caught a glimpse of the mathematical formulas on the soil and stones behind Su Yi, and Bai Ye paused.
He suddenly remembered that when he caught Su Yi writing formulas on the blackboard on New Year's Day, Su Yi's reaction was to quickly erase it and run away. He didn't like to show off his math skills or show off his intelligence in front of others.
In the past, Su Yi had never taken the initiative to explain his thinking behind calculation formulas to others, and no one of his peers could understand him.
But this time, when he saw these formulas in the cave, Su Yi did not avoid them. Instead, he took the initiative to tell him all of them. Why?
Bai Ye felt a little strange. Moreover, this formula could calculate the coordinates of amethyst worth billions, not just a mathematical formula. With Su Yi's cautious personality, how could she suddenly tell such an important formula to this strange boyfriend whom she had only known for less than half a day? Wasn't she afraid that there might be danger? What if he was a liar?
Thinking back to what Su Yi had asked him before, "What do you like about me?" and "I didn't do anything special for you," as well as what he had told Su Yi about in real life, Bai Ye suddenly understood:
"You told me that formula, aren't you trying to compensate me?"
! !
Su Yi was suddenly seen through by someone, and he became nervous, but more surprised. He didn't know how to express his meaning properly with words, but Bai Ye saw through it. Su Yi lowered his head and said in a low voice:
"You don't really want it... This little thing can't compensate for anything. I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have encountered those things in reality. Your parents must be very worried about you now, right?"
His thin eyebrows were furrowed and his emerald green eyes revealed a look of worry. Su Yi felt very guilty. He always felt that he had dragged others into the water and ruined the life of an ordinary person.
Although rationally speaking, Su Yi knew that the people who were truly responsible for this incident were the bad guys, but if it weren't for him, how easy and happy would Bai Ye's life be now?
"Little fool."
With his wolf claws on her slender waist, Bai Ye couldn't help but hug Su Yi tightly. He tried his best to suppress the desire to kiss Su Yi and said:
"How much time has passed in reality now? One minute there is equal to one year here. My parents don't even know about it. Maybe when we go back, they still won't know anything and nothing will have happened.
"Besides, I called them before I went up to the snowy mountain. If, I mean if, there really comes a day like that, and they know about it, they will probably understand me."
"...understand?" Su Yi was surprised, "Do your parents know...our relationship?"
Previously, Bai Ye focused on telling him about the group of bad guys in the Royal Hospital in the real world, and briefly mentioned his own situation. Su Yi just thought they were in an ordinary relationship. After all, such a relationship was not very reasonable, and most of the elders in the family could not accept it. Unexpectedly... even his parents had met?!
"I know." Bai Ye said, "My dad often scolds me, saying, 'Look at Su Yi, who is studying in the Department of Mathematics at M University with a full scholarship for free, and you, a prodigal son, spend millions of dollars a year and still can't study well. You are so stupid that Su Yi looks at you like a monkey!'"
Su Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"My parents like you very much." Bai Ye said, "I haven't introduced my family to you in detail before. They divorced when I was twelve years old. Now they each have a new family and younger brothers and sisters.
"My parents are the kind of...how should I put it? They are quite self-centered. The word 'self-centered' may have a negative connotation, but I mean it in a positive sense. They are very focused on living their own lives and they also expect the same of their children.
"As long as I can be responsible for myself, live on my own, don't drag them down, don't break the law, take drugs, have promiscuous sex, etc., they don't really care about my sexual orientation."
“…So open-minded.” Su Yi said. He was an orphan, abandoned by his parents on the river bank. He had never seen his parents and rarely heard of parents like Bai Ye.
"Well, maybe it was mutual." Bai Ye said, "Not long after they divorced, my mother met her current husband, a British man, in a foreign company. At that time, there was an opportunity to be promoted to the British headquarters, and my mother didn't want to miss it.
"At that time, I really didn't want her to leave. I was very sad and upset. I wanted her to stay by my side and not be promoted to a headquarters, but I couldn't use my identity as a child to kidnap her. So when I grew up, they didn't use their identity as a parent to kidnap me.
"On the day my mother left for England, she came to say goodbye to me. She told me that everyone has their own choices in life, and one day I will also need to make a choice.
"So I thought, if one day she really knew what happened in reality, she would probably understand me, and I made my own choice."
Bai Ye tilted his head and looked at Su Yi. He said:
"On the surface, this choice seems to be made for you, but it's not entirely true."
Su Yi showed a curious look.
Bai Ye: "I can choose not to come. You didn't point a gun at my head to force me. I chose to come. Rather than saying that I came for you, I would rather say that this is the life I chose. You don't have to feel that you owe me anything."
Su Yi: "But judging from the results, you did... sacrifice a lot for me."
Bai Ye: "My parents taught me since I was young to be grateful to others, even if they may have helped me unintentionally and did not intend to help me. But I should not be kidnapped by others, let alone feel that I owe them something and keep sacrificing myself to compensate them. Under the premise of no coercion or deception, a person makes a choice because it will bring great benefits to himself."
"Benefits?" Su Yi was puzzled. He couldn't figure it out. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see what benefits Bai Ye could get from it.
"At least that's what he thought at the moment he made the choice, at least that's what he thought subconsciously. As for whether he will regret it in the future, that's another matter." Bai Ye said:
"From this perspective, people make choices for themselves, so they have to be responsible for their own lives. They can't make choices by saying it's all for someone else, or blame others for the consequences that may arise in the future when they can't bear the consequences.
"Think about it carefully. If I hadn't come to find you at that time, and I had run away, would I have been able to get away?"
Su Yi: "..."
Bai Ye: "They have already shot me once on the street. They must want to get rid of me. This is an established fact. If I run away, where can I go? There are surveillance cameras everywhere. Can I still buy a plane ticket and fly out of the country with my legitimate passport?"
"If it's smuggling or something like that, I don't even know those people who use shady methods in China, let alone in Country M where we don't even speak the language. Besides, using shady methods is exactly their method, and it's easier to be assassinated by them.
"Escape is not an option, but I can't just sit there and wait to die in the hospital. I can only kidnap that fake guy to find out the situation. The worst result is that I die, and then I can take a fake guy with me, which means I died a worthy death.
"The best outcome is that I am not dead, you are not dead, the rubbish counterfeit has also suffered a certain blow, and I have now found you and taken refuge with the smartest superconducting brain, which is much wiser than me running away alone and giving away my life to the enemy.
"Look, this choice is obviously the most rational and has the best chance of survival. It will also be of great benefit to me. But if I say it out loud, I will say that I did it all for you and you are very touched. If there are any benefits in the future, you have to think about me and compensate me. If there are any bad results, it's all your fault. After all, I came here for you. This statement is too flattering, haha, it is completely invincible."
Bai Ye paused, and the furry snow wolf tail covered Su Yi's legs. He said seriously:
"I don't want to say that, Su Yi, I don't want you to owe me anything. I like you, I'm happy to see you, and I want to come to you. This is the life I chose. You don't have to compensate me for it. If you are also happy to see me, that's enough."
Quiet. At this moment the cave was very quiet, so quiet that Su Yi could hear his own heartbeat like a drum.
That? It felt like there was a little deer inside, running around in his chest, and the deer's hooves were tapping on his heart, tap-tat-tat, over and over again.
He reached out and held the little deer, trying not to let it run too fast or his heart would not be able to bear the beating.
Suddenly, his face felt furry. Snow Wolf Bai Ye reached out, carefully pinched Su Yi's face with his claws, and asked him:
"Did you understand?"
"Yeah!" Su Yi responded. He reached out and quickly hugged his boyfriend Bai Ye. After thinking for a while, he said:
"I... am often sick and my physical strength is very low. If we encounter a monster as a partner, then... you will have to fight it."
"Of course." Bai Ye looked like he had heard a very funny joke. Even if Su Yi was healthy and strong, he didn't want Su Yi to fight monsters.
Those ghosts are smelly, dirty and possibly poisonous. If they bite Su Yi, he will go crazy.
Su Yi: "Don't you think it's a bit unfair? I just sit here and use my brain every day, but you have to do a lot of hard physical work, fight monsters, etc...."
"How could that be?" Bai Ye laughed. "There are so many people who can fight monsters in this [Thriller Script Killing], but no one can sit there and use their brains to use Fourier expansion to calculate the coordinates of the amethyst."
"If..." Su Yi leaned close to the fluffy snow wolf and said to Bai Ye:
"If you hadn't met me in the beginning, you wouldn't have been dragged into these things, and now... you wouldn't have to fight monsters so hard."
Fighting monsters will cause injuries. Su Yi has seen this in dungeons. Those players were covered in blood, with broken arms and legs, and a bloody mess.
There are also players who get stabbed in the stomach by monsters, in which case they will not survive. Su Yi doesn't want to see Bai Ye covered in wounds and bleeding, or even... dead.
According to the rules Bai Ye told him, as a superconducting brain, he is not affected by the timeline of this virtual world, and his aging rate is equivalent to the aging rate of his biological functions in reality.
But Bai Ye and his friends' consciousness is subject to the timeline. One year later, Bai Ye becomes the 20-year-old Bai Ye, while he is still Su Yi at 19 and 1 minute.
Is there any way to avoid aging, injury, and death?
Su Yi thought about it. Although he felt that if Bai Ye had never met him, he might have had a better life, but now things have happened and cannot be changed. He can only think about whether he can modify some code to secretly give Bai Ye a few more lives.
It's just like playing a game, if you die you can start over, but you won't really die.
"What if I had never met you?"
Bai Ye spoke, breaking the silence in the cave. He lay beside Su Yi and said according to Su Yi's fantasy:
"So, I am just an ordinary college student now. I am not good at English, and I can't think of studying abroad. With my grades, I should just be admitted to any university in China. When I get there, I should just muddle through the professional courses and pass with 60 points. I usually have nothing to do, so I just play games in the dormitory, eat in the cafeteria, and play basketball on the playground."
Bai Ye thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with such a life. It was a very smooth and easy life, with no pressure, no goals, and no meaning. He wandered aimlessly in this world, feeling a little light-hearted and happy, but also a little bored.
There are many white nights all over the world that live like him, and there is no difference between them.
"But, I met you."
Now, he has become Bai Ye who enters the virtual world to find Su Yi. They have discovered a group of bad guys who are carrying out an intense resistance plan. If they succeed, they can not only return to the real world safely, but they may even allow other victimized consciousnesses to return to their original bodies and expose these bad guys. Perhaps the world will change because of this, although there is a greater probability that they will fail and die.
But that doesn't matter. His lover is super powerful, and the smart Su Yi will guide him on how to beat the bad guys. This process is much more interesting than playing games, cooking, or playing basketball.
"I know, some people may just want to pursue an easy life."
Bai Ye looked at the stalactites hanging upside down from the top of the cave, and the crystal clear water droplets condensed at the bottom, eagerly waiting for a fall:
"They don't want anything to happen. Meeting you would probably mess up their lives.
"But what they pursued was not what I wanted. In your opinion, maybe I was involved in some big event, but to me, it was you who made my ordinary life extraordinary. Meeting you is my luck."
He no longer lives in this world as lightly as other White Nights. He has his own goals and meaning, and has become the one and only White Night in the world.
Su Yi opened his mouth, but suddenly couldn't say anything.
He didn't expect that one day he would hear another person say these words to him, and that he would establish such a deep and intimate relationship with another person.
Bai Ye seemed to have long been accustomed to Su Yi's silence, and he did not need any answer. The wind whistled through the cracks in the cave, and the snow-white wolf hair fell down. The night in the mountains grew colder.
"It's getting late, go to bed."
Bai Ye made a new quilt for Su Yi, using velvet, cotton wool and wolf hair that had fallen off in his backpack. It was warm.
When it's time to sleep, Su Yi curls up in the quilt as usual, using his wings to try to curl himself up to give himself some sense of security.
Bai Ye naturally lay down on his left side, giving him a greater sense of security.
The snow wolf has very thick fur. After drawing the werewolf monster card, Bai Ye is not like other smelly werewolves who always roll around in the mountains and get covered in mud without taking a bath. He pays attention to his hygiene, just to prevent Su Yi from seeing his dirty and smelly appearance when he meets him one day.
Su Yi was not used to sleeping with strangers, but the person in front of him was Bai Ye, his lover, who had a very beautiful furry coat.
The snow-white wolf fur looked like the first snow in winter. Su Yi lay in the quilt, feeling the warm source of heat beside him, and then quietly leaned towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye slept on his left side, closest to his heart, holding him carefully and considerately, paying close attention to the movements of his arms so as not to press on his injured wing.
Su Yi looked at the person sleeping on the left side of his chest, and suddenly thought of the countless life and death choices he had made before. Why did he still grasp the hope of survival and survive again and again even though he felt that life was boring and meaningless and had reasons to die?
Every time he had a heart attack, no one cared about him. Su Yi just lay there, enduring, suffering, and tormenting. He looked to his left, not understanding who he was waiting for.
Now Su Yi finally understood, he had waited for it.
Although his lover did not understand Fourier expansion, had no interest in mathematics, and had a completely different personality from him, she was a very lovely person.
Su Yi gently stretched out his hand and tentatively touched the furry wolf ears on Bai Ye's head.
Seeing that Bai Ye did not resist but indulged him, Su Yi became bolder and rubbed it hard. The pair of white fluffy wolf ears moved. Su Yi smiled and whispered to Bai Ye:
"Good night~"
