Bai Yu stood tall and walked slowly outside.
The sky is blue, the clouds are white, and the trees are green.
But it all seemed so illusory.
Has no one noticed the strangeness of this world?
Was he the only one who noticed something was wrong?
His mood plummeted instantly, and he almost broke down.
Suddenly, a pleasant voice appeared behind him.
"Hi! Baiyu!"
Bai Yu's heart skipped a beat. He turned around and saw a handsome young man standing in front of him, a blade of grass between his teeth, leaning against a tree. His eyes were pure, but the smile on his face was wicked.
He knew who he was instantly: Ye Xunhuan!
"You remember me?" Bai Yu asked.
Linghu Lan smiled. "Someone like you is hard to forget."
Bai Yu's mood instantly brightened, and he revealed a smile of reunion with an old friend, his gaze deep and distant. "Ye Xunhuan, do you remember what you did yesterday?"
Linghu Lan spat out the grass in her mouth, the taste of grass lingering in her mouth. She savored the taste on her tongue, extremely satisfied; this taste was perfect for kissing.
"It's hard to forget about killing someone!"
Bai Yu's heart leaped with joy. Finally, there was someone in this world who, like him, did not seem to have their memories altered upon waking up.
"Yes! That's true! It's hard to forget."
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Yu was struck by another thought, and his brows furrowed instantly.
He was unsure whether the boy's memory was unforgettable because the murder was too traumatic, or whether his memory had truly not been altered.
He frowned deeply and asked again, "Have the police come looking for you?"
"No! I went to the bar entrance this morning and there's no trace left." Linghu Lan hesitated. This world is full of eeriness. There were police yesterday, so this place should be a crime scene today. At the very least, it should be protected and off-limits to strangers.
However, there was nothing.
It was so clean, as if a downpour had washed away all the evidence of the crime.
"..." Bai Yu fell silent. "There were no reports of deaths in the news."
"This world is really strange!" Linghu Lan sighed instinctively.
She had experienced many worlds, most of which were known and did not find them terrifying; rather, it was the unknown that was terrifying.
“Indeed!” Bai Yu gazed into the distance and sighed sincerely.
Linghu Lan smiled. "How about it? Since this world is so strange, why don't we travel together?"
Bai Yu: "..."
What does the world's strangeness have to do with dating? I bet you just want to turn me gay, that's all!
"Not interested!" Bai Yu suppressed the raging fire in his heart and said in a forced indifference.
Linghu Lan reached out and hooked her finger around Bai Yu's little finger. "If today were the end of the world, would you still refuse me?"
Bai Yu: "..."
All he wants to say now is a sentence Chu Xing said today: You asked an epic question.
If today were the end of the world, I would indulge myself however I wanted. Why would I need to consider gender when dating?
But……
"Today is not the end of the world!"
Bai Yu looked calmly at Linghu Lan with his dark eyes and silently moved his fingers away.
Although the boy's fingers were warm and soft, touching them wasn't unpleasant at all; in fact, it felt quite comfortable...
