Now, it's your turn to lie to me.
His eyes were red.
…
...I never thought you would lie to me.
"The only thing I never thought was that you would lie to me...Yueyue."
In the silent room, the only sound was his hoarse voice, like a wounded beast.
"I thought... no matter how big the matter is, no matter how hopeless the future is... we can still... talk it out clearly."
"Just tell me clearly in advance that you have no authority over life. This is your last life..."
"I will really do everything I can to help you survive."
“I thought we really…”
He stretched out his hand and clenched it, as if he was holding something, but also as if he was not—
"…holding happiness."
"But it's also a lie."
“Pah.”
She suddenly hugged him, her ten fingers tightly around his back.
She hugged him so tightly, using so much strength that she almost melted him into her bones. Her white hair dug deep into his facial features, itching and stinging, making her want to cry.
"Don't say that, don't say that..." She hugged him tightly, her voice brushing his ear, repeating: "Of course you belong to happiness, only you deserve happiness..."
"I'm afraid if I tell you, you'll do something impulsive. Because the gods and I both know... there's really no way you can solve this problem..."
"Ming An...we are really afraid that you will...do something crazy and exploit yourself again..."
His eyes were red, and Su Mingan couldn't suppress the sensations that had been suppressed for a long time, and his throat felt hot and wet.
He always wondered why he and Yueyue always lived like it was the last day of the apocalypse, when they still had such a long future. But he never thought that this was really... "the last day".
Her fingertips were cold, her pulse was weak, and her purple blood vessels were bulging.
He could hardly feel her heartbeat, the old woman's heartbeat was really light.
The silver-white hair scraped across his facial features, as if wiping away the dust on his face.
He stretched out his trembling hands, wanting to hug her, but stopped the moment he touched her hunched back.
He didn't dare to hold her down.
It’s like hugging a colorful bubble. Once you hug it too tightly, you’re afraid it will break.
"...Why." His voice trembled, as if he was asking her, or himself, why.
Why is happiness always short-lived?
Why the truth is always bloody.
Why is the world so cruel... that after letting people sink into happiness, it will forcibly pull them out.
"…Because you live too soberly, you are too afraid of love, and you are not like a happy fool. This will make you suffer for your whole life." A weak voice came from the side of my ear.
She seemed to be feeling regretful... Why was Su Mingan so perceptive that he had to discover this at the last minute? If he hadn't brought it up, she wouldn't have said it.
Maybe, he could think... their time was perfect. They spent a happy life together, and in the end it was just her "experience of aging" for fun.
Why does he have to live so clearly?
Why did he insist on digging into the matter?
She patted his back gently, her breath leaking out from her pale lips.
The sunlight from outside the window shines in, illuminating the spots of light floating in the air.
His shoulders shrugged, and she slowly stopped patting his back.
"Listen to me." She whispered, "...I won't die."
Su Mingan looked at her steadily, without any trust in his eyes. He almost forgot that she was no longer the blank girl, and she had long been able to lie. This time, even her life and death could be lied about.
I am an observer. As long as my soul is not exhausted, I will not die because of the end of my physical body." She whispered, "Observer... &@*! &"
Her voice turned into a bunch of gibberish.
Su Mingan's pupils shrank. Yueyue also realized something and changed her words to make them pass the trial: "Because at this level, what matters is the life span of the soul. You can also change your body when your body is about to age, right? I can't tell you in detail, but in the end, I will definitely come back to see you."
Su Mingan was silent for a while.
"...You are lying to me again." He whispered, "Don't learn from Siberia. It's hard to have a good result."
"I'm not lying to you, not this time." She held his face in her hands: "My body will indeed age, but I will be in front of you again soon, just in a different body. This is the power of the Observer."
“…”
The silence lasted for a long time before Su Mingan spoke:
"Okay, I believe you."
"When this body of yours dies... I will wait for you to come back."
"Don't let me wait alone. Don't wait until decades later for me to realize that you've deceived me again."
Yueyue nodded.
"But if something goes wrong, is this... your last life?" he asked.
"Nothing will go wrong, don't worry," she replied.
Su Mingan stared at her for a long time.
In her obsidian eyes, one can vaguely see the tranquility after the storm. Only at the closest distance can one feel the burning soul hidden in the darkness.
"Don't lie to me," he stressed.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and then she laughed.
"Um."
They were silent for a long time.
The wind blew up the comic book on the table, and there were drops of blood on the pages. A golden and black figure flashed in the shadow of the corner of the room, and then quickly fell silent.
…
Tianshi generation 58 years.
Her hair was completely white.
