Chapter 262 Epilogue: Snow (inverted v) When it snows...
"Hey, guess what? The world we saved turned out to be a fake one. Oh, waking up again and hearing the news that our best friend had jumped off a building, our savior would definitely be heartbroken."
"Oh my god, this is too pitiful."
"Yeah yeah."
"It's pitiful, it's true, but our savior didn't give up, instead..."
The fan folded up with a "swish" sound, and Yu Wenting picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
The refreshing bubbly drink churned in her mouth and throat, and Yu Wenting smiled and took another sip.
The young woman on the stage sat casually and relaxedly, as if she too was there to listen to the story. The audience below immediately became restless: "Hey, why aren't you talking?"
Yu Wenting raised an eyebrow. "My friend, my work schedule is up. Now is my break time. I'll have to continue what I haven't finished tomorrow."
"You're off work at this time? Stop lying!" When the audience heard this, he stood up angrily and was about to rush over.
But someone next to her stopped her and said, "My friend, she gets off work at this time every day. I heard the boss here is very powerful and has tokens. It's just a little time, she doesn't care at all!"
"Okay, everyone, we're about to close here. Bye." Yu Wenting finished a glass of sparkling drink, put down the cup, yawned behind her fan, and said to the audience, "By the way, remember to come back tomorrow!"
Some people in the audience came up to greet Yu Wenting, some gave her things, and some even ran over to scold her. Yu Wenting responded to them one by one with her superb skills of pretending to be asleep.
Until only the last person was left in the audience.
Yu Wenting slowly opened her eyes and looked at the man.
It was a girl holding a doll, and she was looking at Yu Wenting with a smile.
"Wenting, thank you for your hard work." The girl said in a clear voice.
When Yu Wenting saw her, the corners of her mouth instantly turned down, and she ran to her side: "Boss He, you don't know, I left work early after you came back, and those people scolded me like crazy, saying that I was not doing my job properly and that I would definitely be fired if I continued like this!"
"But I won't fire you."
"So what I'm saying is, they don't understand you at all and just talk nonsense! This is absolutely crazy!"
"Alright, that's nothing. It's good that you understand me." Looking at this young woman who was still a child when she left, but now has become able to stand on her own, He Yuezhe reached out and touched her head. "Wenting, you've worked really hard these past few months."
"..." Yu Wenting shook her head. "It's not hard, Boss. Didn't you tell me when you took me in? No matter what life it takes, it's never too late to be sad. So, these past few months, I've been completely thinking about the day you come back and see a better theater instead of a dilapidated one. I also hope, hope, that I won't let you down."
"You did a great job." He Yuezhe said.
"Hehe, of course!"
"By the way, have you heard anything about the people I asked you to contact?"
"Yes, they heard you were still alive, and they were all so happy! They kept yelling for me to call you out, and I said..."
Today is the 8th day since He Yuezhe "returned" to this world.
In the first seven days, although her soul was taken away, her body was still hurt by the storm. So during the months that He Yuezhe was away, she had surgery and had to stay in the hospital. She hadn't moved for too long and her body was too weak. Her friends strongly refused to let her leave their sight, so He Yuezhe could only contact the only person whose number she could remember, Yu Wenting, during those days. Apart from that, she did rehabilitation training.
Rehabilitation training is not easy. The feeling of being out of control of every bone and muscle in the body is really frustrating.
Fortunately, there were friends there. They entered the platform early and came out early, so they also underwent rehabilitation training and stayed by He Yuezhe's bedside for several months.
They wrote a diary together, recording everything that happened since they started taking care of He Yuezhe.
In spring, they braided He Yue's hair, made garlands for her, and played birdsong for her.
In the summer, they gathered around He Yuezhe's bed to eat ice cream, watermelon, and dance in grass skirts.
In autumn, they brought He Yue a lot of fruits, maple leaves and scarves.
In winter, they showed He Yuezhe the snowflakes, played snowball fights, and built snowmen outside the window of He Yuezhe's ward.
He Yuezhe, who had just woken up, didn't know how she was able to get out of bed and walk. In short, when she walked out of the ward filled with the smell of disinfectant, when she pushed open the door, when she saw them, their bright smiles were like a torch in the vast snow, melting the snow and warming the people who were lost in the snow.
The person who was lost in the snow walked over to the torch, and she hugged her. Then the lost person's eyes were no longer confused, and tears cleared the mist in her eyes. In her eyes, the world became clear and beautiful again.
Later, after the rehabilitation training was completed, He Yuezhe was discharged from the hospital smoothly.
In winter, it snowed in the city.
A thin layer of snow covered the ground, and people could hear a constant crunching sound as they walked.
She was walking on the street with her friends, who kept telling her about the changes that had taken place in the city in the past few months, and then she was covered with hats, scarves and gloves.
They smiled and said, “Welcome home!”
Then there are a lot of things, such as wreaths in spring, grass skirts in summer, and maple leaves in autumn.
He Yuezhe asked them why they carried these things with them.
They only said that they hoped that no matter when she woke up, she would receive a surprise, feel their love, and know that they were always with her and had never left.
“…”
“…”
"Boss He, what's up? Are you reminiscing about the past when you see your subordinates you haven't seen for a long time?"
"..." Walking on the street, the cold wind blew in her face. He Yuezhe nodded and huddled in her scarf. "Yeah, I miss the past."
"oh?"
"Wenting, what do you think of the place we live in?"
"Well, not so good. It's like a piece of shit. Once it sticks to you, it's sticky and you can't get rid of it."
"Well, Wenting, if it were you, and you dreamed that the world was destroyed, what would you do?"
"Me?" Yu Wenting pondered. "Well, I'll probably be like that savior. Boss He, you know I've always been someone who refuses to give in or give in. So what if it's a massive natural disaster? So what if I just saved a fake world?"
"I, Yu Wenting, had a prophetic dream and was born to be a savior. What does it matter if I fail? I can just pat my butt and stand up again. Even if I don't succeed in the end, at least I tried my best. If even one human survives, she will say that I, Yu Wenting, am the savior!"
"..." He Yuezhe was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and chuckled softly, "Yes, even if one human survived, she would still say that you, Yu Wenting, are the savior."
"Boss He, are you laughing at me?"
"No, I agree with you," He Yuezhe said, "Wenting, that story really happened, and it has a sequel."
"Follow-up?"
"Yes. Later, the savior didn't die. She was saved by the electronic life forms she had accidentally awakened. Later, they founded the Utopia and saved countless people who were about to die from various disasters."
"this……"
"Wenting, I told you that because of their existence, this city will definitely get worse and worse, until one day, we won't even have a chance to breathe. Even if I'm here, I can only give you a temporary chance to survive."
“…”
"So, Wenting," He Yuezhe stopped and looked at Yu Wenting, "our lives will become increasingly difficult in the future. Perhaps our lives will even be in danger. Even so, will you still follow me?"
Yu Wenting didn't hesitate for a second: "Yes."
“…”
“…”
Their eyes met.
He Yuezhe understood Yu Wenting's determination.
Yu Wenting also understood He Yuezhe's goal.
"Boss He," Yu Wenting said, "I'll follow you no matter what you do."
"Okay, I'll also..."
"No need, Boss He. Before we went to find them, I asked each of them one by one: If Boss He asked you to work hard, would you do it? If Boss He wanted to fire you, would you do it? Boss He, do you want to guess what the answer is?"
"Sell. Do it."
"Bingo!"
"...Wenting?"
"Hey, Black Spot!"
"Wenting, are you out shopping?" A young girl appeared across the street.
"Yes," Yu Wenting said, "Heiban, this is my sister, He Yuezhe. Sister, this is Heiban. I met him at work. He's my friend!"
"Hello." He Yuezhe smiled.
Black Spot also smiled: "Hello."
"Hey, Black Spot, why are you out here by yourself? I want to go shopping with you. Coincidentally, there's a cafe just down the street. I heard the coffee there is delicious!"
"Really? Okay."
"Goodbye, sister." Yu Wenting waved to He Yuezhe, crossed the road and ran towards Heiban.
"Bye, have fun."
"good!"
"Goodbye, sister." After the two walked a distance away, Heiban suddenly turned around and looked at He Yuezhe.
"..." There was a smile in Hei Ban's eyes, and a hint of understanding. He Yuezhe also looked at her, "Goodbye, Hei Ban."
“…”
“…”
Cars whizzed past on the street, and the two figures quickly disappeared at the end of the street.
He Yuezhe took her hands out of her pockets. She was wearing a pair of gloves with a bear pattern on them. She raised her hands and rubbed her face.
The weather is really getting colder, compared to previous years.
Snow only falls once every few years, but this time it fell day after day, as if it was going to freeze the entire city.
After finishing his subordinates' tasks, he was sure that they would follow him. Yu Wenting had also successfully established contact with Hei Ban, and everything was slowly unfolding.
He Yuezhe was thinking as he walked on the road, strolling casually.
The sky, which had just cleared up, suddenly started snowing.
Snowflakes fell on He Yuezhe's hair, body, gloves, and eyelashes.
She blinked and wiped the snow from her eyelashes.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw someone she was very familiar with.
“…”
“…”
"Ding-ling-ling..."
"Welcome to the Bakery House! What would you like to buy?" A twisted man was standing behind the counter, respectfully greeting He Yuezhe who walked into the store.
He Yuezhe shook off the snow on his body and walked to the counter.
In the glass counter, there is steaming bread, hot and looking very soft.
"Let's take this one." She pointed to the kind of bread that He Fangying used to eat most often.
"Okay, a caterpillar bread," the man took the caterpillar bread from the counter, "Would you like to eat it here or take it away?"
"Eat here."
"Okay, payment here."
"Um."
"Okay, here's a cup of hot milk for you to warm you up."
"Thanks."
This bakery has been open for a long time, and it seems to have been here as long as He Yuezhe can remember.
The decoration inside the store is old and completely in the old-world style. The tables and chairs have been carefully maintained, but they have cracks and stains over time.
Directly opposite where He Yuezhe was sitting was a photo wall filled with photos.
"This was taken with the camera our previous guests brought, but now that camera isn't working anymore. It won't turn on. Sorry, girl."
"……It doesn't matter."
He Fangying, He Fangying, He Fangying. There are many He Fangyings in the photo, so many that He Yuezhe can’t even count them.
In her hand was the hot milk that tasted exactly the same as the one He Fangying cooked for her when she was a child. He Yuezhe lowered her head and stopped looking at the wall of photos.
A loaf of bread was quickly eaten. The snow outside did not stop, but it was much lighter.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
He Yuezhe walked out of the bakery.
However, the shop door closed and a photo fluttered in the wind and fell into the snow.
“…” Picking it up, He Yuezhe wiped off the snow on it, and she could see the contents clearly.
It was a girl, wearing a crudely made birthday crown, with her eyes closed and her hands clasped together. In front of her was a small round cake.
The signature is in the lower right corner of the photo.
——He Fangying, photographed on March 31st, wishing my little baby a happy birthday.
“…”
"Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!"
"Huh, I finally got in touch with you!"
“……?”
The communicator started ringing uncontrollably: "Hummingbird, this is Grandma. Oh, long time no see. It's snowing here, so beautiful. Oh, this is my husband. How handsome, isn't he?"
"Oh, by the way, there's also Zhai Ling, Dai, Xiang Ling Juan, hey, Happy Future Bear and Zhi are here too. They're playing in the snow, competing to see who can roll the biggest snowball. Hey, isn't that childish? Okay, enough talking. Keep warm. Everything is fine here. Bye."
“…”
"Ding-ling-ling!"
"Hello, I'm twenty. It's quite surprising, isn't it? I didn't die. Okay, I died, but I was resurrected. And those people, what were their names... Wallets, they were also resurrected."
"Oh, it's snowing here. Although it's inconvenient to go out, no one goes out anyway. Let me show you the white snow. It's the first time I've seen it. It's very beautiful, but I don't know how to describe it. Anyway, after you leave, we are fine. Don't worry."
“…”
"Ding-ling-ling!"
"Hello, is the call connected? Ah, um, hello, I'm Ming Jiao. First of all, I want to thank you for saving our world. Next, um, although we can't be considered sisters, if you have something unhappy, you can tell me. I'm willing to listen."
"Well, look, this is the statue. After you left, people built one for you. And there are Xiao Tang and the others. Oh, it's snowing again. Um, thank you, and... we love you."
“…”
"Ding-ling-ling!"
"Master, long time no see. I missed you very much because after you left, that black cat has been haunting me. However, I've been doing well recently. I have my own house and new relationships."
"The past is over. I have moved on. I believe my future life will be full of flowers. So, thank you for saving me from the abyss. As a small token of my appreciation, I will show you the first snow that has fallen here. I hope you will be happy to see this. Goodbye."
“…”
"Ding-ling-ling!"
"I am Awu, immortal. Do you still remember Awu? It's the Wu of crow. Awu, I have grown up now, a big girl. I have learned the formation you taught me. I used it to protect Sister Shi Jiyu and Sister Shi Jihuai, as well as many friends."
"It's snowing here today, Immortal. It's beautiful, but it's so cold. Awu's hands are all frozen and cracked. But now, Awu can heal himself. So, Immortal, Awu has grown up. Next time we meet, can you praise Awu?"
“…”
In the past, He Yuezhe thought that a war would break out between him and the Utopia, and at that time, the tassel tree in the center of the platform would wither and countless petals would fall like snow.
“…”
But now, none of this happened.
"It's snowing, He Yuezhe, wear more clothes, don't catch a cold."
“…”
“…”
"Know."
"Well, that's good. Take care of yourself. I have something else to do. I'll hang up first. I'll contact you if there's anything else."
"good."
“Beep, beep, beep…”
After hanging up the phone, He Yuezhe wiped the tears from the communicator with paper.
“Hua La La La La La—”
The wind was blowing hard.
Her black hair danced wildly in the wind, blocking most of her vision.
Putting down the phone, He Yuezhe raised his head, pushed aside the hair that was blocking his vision, and stood there looking at everything in front of him.
Before my eyes, a huge tree stands tall.
"...So you're here."
It turned out to be the tassel tree that they had planted in front of their house in the wasteland.
The branches swayed, and the snow covering them fell off.
[On the day it snowed...]
He Yuezhe raised his phone, took a picture, and started editing a new forum post.
[On the day it snows, I will meet many people again^^]
[photo]
The snow scene is beautiful, but it is really cold.
He Yue turned around and was about to leave the intersection where she entered the platform.
And the four figures that she was very familiar with appeared before her.
"A small discount." Chen Shu said.
"Captain!" said Tang Xiqin.
"Captain!" Ban Weile said.
"Captain." Yuan Yang said.
This time, she came to this crossroads again.
But no longer alone.
Just like her future, she will no longer be alone.
They will work together to strive for the possibility of a better future for mankind and themselves.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
"Everyone, let's go home."
In his pocket, the communicator that had been damaged by the storm suddenly rang.
He Yuezhe took it out.
A huge pop-up window suddenly appeared on the screen.
[If a disaster is predicted to happen, what would you choose?]
[1. Let it be. 2. Explore the truth. 3. Find defenses.]
[Ding Dong, new options found!]
[4. Overcoming Disaster]
[Ding Dong! You have chosen 4. Overcome Disaster!]
[I wish you success, I wish you success!]
