Chapter 211: Yin Yusheng
"Recently, an earthquake struck our city, and most of the buildings collapsed. This kind of earthquake has happened in various cities, and there are rumors that it will be a devastating blow. We will continue to track the situation and report to you—"
The news broadcast stopped and the TV went dark. Yin Yusheng put down the remote control, tore open the pull ring of the can and took a big gulp of beer.
The living room looked particularly messy, with empty cans scattered all over the floor, takeout packaging bags that had been left on the table for who knows how long, and a newly ordered barbecue next to it.
He looked out the window with his unshaven face. The flashing lights of neon lights flashed by. The wind outside blew up the curtains, making the scene look desolate and lonely.
Yin Yusheng stared at the night sky for a long time, then suddenly stood up and walked over, lowering his head slightly to look at the people hurrying by below.
He had forgotten how long it had been since the black hole disappeared. He only knew that everyone had forgotten about it. The earthquake...that was not an earthquake at all.
Sometimes when Yin Yusheng woke up, he would stare at the ceiling in confusion, and began to wonder whether his memory was confused. Was it his problem or the world's problem?
He lives on the second floor, just behind the food court. The house here is a bit dilapidated and the sound insulation is not very good. I heard that it will be demolished soon.
The landlord also sent him a message, asking him not to renew the lease after this month.
He observed that man's family, and they all seemed to have forgotten that they once had a daughter, the daughter of a Xuanmen Tianshi, as if she had never appeared.
Suddenly, a figure walked through the alley downstairs. His face changed slightly, and he quickly turned around and rushed out of the house, running downstairs. When he ran out, he saw the man's back at the corner of the street.
Yin Yusheng chased the man in front for a long time before catching up. He stammered, but suddenly didn't know what to ask...
Do you remember her?
Do you remember having a younger sister?
Tang Yueqing came out fully armed, with a mask, sunglasses and a baseball cap. Despite this, was she still recognized by fans?
He looked at the unshaven, slovenly-looking man in front of him, with a bruise under his eye, and couldn't help but take a step back. He wondered if this man had done anything illegal.
Just as he was about to pull out his phone and dial the police, the person on the other side suddenly lowered his head apologetically and murmured softly: "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
Yin Yusheng forced a smile, then turned around, lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and then lifted his hair and walked away.
Tang Yueqing stared at his back, the puzzled look faded and turned into an unclear emotion. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking. He didn't stand here for long. He packed up a few dishes and went home.
Yin Yusheng checked out of the hotel without even asking for the remaining deposit. He went to the barber shop downstairs to get his hair trimmed and his beard shaved. Then he washed his dusty luxury car and drove home.
On the way, he passed by a cemetery. Somehow, when he came to his senses again, he had already gotten out of the car and walked in. In front of him was a row of tombstones.
Yin Yusheng was stunned for a moment, and a bitter smile flashed across his eyes.
This was not the first time. He just couldn't give up and wanted to come and see if that person's tombstone would appear. There was also another person he hadn't seen for a long time.
It seemed that everyone had forgotten the existence of these two people, as if they had never appeared.
Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind. Yin Yusheng's body stiffened for a moment and he was a little afraid to turn around, fearing that it was an illusion.
"Yin Yusheng."
The voice shouted again. Yin Yusheng swallowed and turned his head cautiously. When he saw the familiar face, his eyes suddenly turned red.
It was him...
"Qin Zhi..."
Yin Yusheng shouted with a trembling voice and rushed over to hug his body. It was not until he felt the touch of that entity that he truly believed that this was not an illusion and that he was really back.
"Qin Zhi! Where have you been? Do you know how worried I am about you? Where have you been for so long?"
Yin Yusheng cried loudly like an ignorant child.
"Do you know that Miss Yu is also missing? No one remembers her. And you, I went to the Qin family and the Tang family and couldn't find any trace of you. Are you kidding me? Can you please stop..."
While crying, he did not notice that Qin Zhi had changed slightly from before. His eyes were very indifferent, as if he had nothing to do with this world, revealing a sense of alienation from the hustle and bustle of the world.
"Yin Yusheng, I won't show up again."
Yin Yusheng stopped crying, wiped his tears and raised his head, saying aggrievedly: "Are you still going to leave?"
Qin Zhi looked at him for a while and told him the truth about everything.
He still remembered his identity, including the things about Yu Qing and his memories as Qin Zhi, but he would never be Qin Zhi again.
As the sun set, the two sat in the cemetery and chatted for a long time. It seemed a bit weird no matter how they looked at it. It was not until the sky gradually darkened that Qin Zhi said goodbye to him.
"It's time to go. See you in fifty years."
After saying that, Qin Zhi's figure gradually became transparent until it completely disappeared from sight. Yin Yusheng's eyes flickered, and when he became clear again, he was still sitting in the car and had never gotten out.
Yin Yusheng turned his head to look at the base on the side, and suddenly laughed and cried. What did he mean by seeing you again in fifty years?
It took Yin Yusheng a long time to realize that what it meant was that he would die in fifty years.
Seventy-eight years old is enough.
Yin Yusheng was scolded after returning home, but he escaped with a cheerful smile. What was more outrageous was that no one would have thought that he would pick up his books again and even become a scientific researcher in the end.
Despite his busy schedule, he devoted himself to his research and did not experience his first spring until he was 35 years old. He met a girl and they later got married.
Qin Jing also attended the wedding on the day and gave him a generous gift. At this time, Qin Jing had already inherited the Qin family's property.
The only regret is that they no longer remember Qin Zhi.
Just as the emcee was presiding over the couple's exchange of rings, Yin Yusheng glanced towards the audience as if he had sensed something and saw a familiar person in the corner.
He curled his lips and chuckled. The experience of so many years has made him more mature and more stable. He is no longer as naive as before.
People always have to grow up...
Later, Yin Yusheng secretly built two tombstones for Qin Zhi and Yu Qing on the mountain, and would often go over to talk to them. Although he didn't know if they could still hear him, he would find time to visit them during every festival.
He would tell them about recent events, the results of his research, and his relationship status. The one who surprised him the most was Qin Jing.
Yin Yusheng looked at the two smooth tombstones without names engraved on them and said with a smile, "You know what? Tan Xi woke up, but she didn't know who saved her. She thought it was a miracle."
He sighed, "Also, Tan Xi and Qin Jing are together. I couldn't believe it when I first found out. These two people have nothing to do with each other, yet they are together. Well, it's good. Everyone is doing well. Don't worry too much."
Yin Yusheng placed his hand on the tombstone, his eyes reddened with a hint of melancholy: "Old friends, I'll see you next time."
A year later, Yin Yusheng's wife gave birth to a daughter. He then returned his focus to his family and treated them very well. Sometimes he would visit the Qin family and reminisce about the past.
In his later years, Yin Yusheng lived a relatively carefree life, but he went to the mountains less often. He was old and his legs and feet were not good, but he still climbed the mountain to see them once before he died.
At the age of seventy-eight, Yin Yusheng died in his sleep without any pain.
After his death, he came to the underworld, and on the Yellow Springs Road, he met someone he hadn't seen in fifty years...
Yin Yusheng smiled slowly.
