Gulp...

A faint sound surrounded my ears, as if small bubbles were popping up one after another and then bursting quietly.

Chen Nian can sense faint light, which is sensed by his visual cells through his thin eyelids and transformed into electrical signals that are transmitted to his brain.

It seemed like someone was approaching, because the light was blocked, but Chen Nian found it difficult to open his eyes no matter what, as if even this body did not belong to him.

Maybe he was soaking in the sea water, but this sea water was warm and fine, making him feel calm instinctively.

My consciousness was so hazy that I couldn't even tell the passage of time.

Chen Nian tried his best to think, but his thoughts were like an old, stuck gear. No matter how hard he tried, he could only make helpless clicking sounds.

He could only wait. Was it a dream? If so, it must be a deep nightmare. Otherwise, why couldn't he break free of it on his own initiative no matter how hard he tried?

The gurgling sound never stopped, becoming the only change in this boring dream, making Chen Nian realize that perhaps he was still alive.

The light in front of his eyes would occasionally be blocked briefly. Perhaps it had some kind of pattern, but in his daze, Chen Nian was unable to make a detailed judgment.

He was suspended in the water, unable to float up or reach the bottom.

Faintly, Chen Nian seemed to hear wailing sounds. The man was howling and roaring, crying in pain.

Who is it? Why is he crying so pathetically?

Chen Nian wanted to know who disturbed this boring silence, so he tried again, trying hard to open his eyes.

This time, he succeeded.

Chen Nian saw a transparent cover in front of him and a large room.

Just like all previous dreams, everything in front of me was extremely blurry and only the outlines could be vaguely discerned.

One meter ahead, there was a slightly oval spherical device filled with clear liquid, in which a curled-up baby was floating.

He looked already quite big. Chen Nian didn't know what the fetus looked like in different months, but the child had hands and feet, so he should be seven or eight months old, right?

He stayed there quietly, like a log floating in the water. Chen Nian wanted to take a closer look, but felt that the light was being disturbed.

Something is coming.

It has a slender body, with two olive-shaped heads on narrow shoulders, extremely long arms that can reach very far, and several forked limbs wriggling below the waist where the legs should be.

Chen Nian just felt that it was very familiar, too familiar in fact, which aroused the instinctive fear in his heart and made him want to tremble all over, but he could not think of where he had seen it no matter what.

The thing stopped in front of the baby opposite, and its long thin arms pressed lightly on the cover, with thin webs between its five fingers, carefully observing the baby inside.

It leaned over and looked for a long time, then stretched out its long arm to the control panel beside it, pressed a few buttons, and then turned around.

The scene in front of him became a little darker. The light that Chen Nian had felt many times before was blocked. This was the light that had come to him.

As the distance shortened, Chen Nian was finally able to see more clearly. On the two olive-shaped heads that came closer, golden lines formed two upright eyes. They stared at him and looked at Chen Nian with expressions as gentle as a mother's.

Eyes, eyes.

So familiar, where had he seen it before?

A sudden dull pain in the chest lasts only a few seconds and then develops into a severe pain.

The constant bubbling sound in his ears became more intense, surging, and Chen Nian saw that the golden eye began to be infected by blue from the bottom. The once gentle expression struggled to disappear, and pierced into his heart with cold murderous intent.

Severe pain.

Chen Nian tried to breathe subconsciously, but inhaled a large pool of liquid. Only then did he realize that he was also soaked.

My lungs were filled with water, and a stinging pain went through my brain. My colors became blurry, and everything in front of me began to collapse. The instruments flashed warning lights wildly, the floor collapsed, the room collapsed, and the rubble and bricks were pulled by a strange force and flew into the chaotic void.

Two blue eyes rose into the air, looking down coldly. In the end, only Chen Nian and the fetus opposite him were left.

The fetus was still floating in the clear liquid, sleeping peacefully without opening its eyes. The madness of the world had nothing to do with it.

At the last moment, Chen Nian saw a small crescent-shaped birthmark on his shoulder.

Didi Didi——

He heard the sharp alarm and many noisy and rapid voices around him, and his originally light soul was suddenly beaten into the shell.

Pain was everywhere, like cold metal pressing against his chest, and then there was a sudden numbness, and his whole body was lifted up, then fell back heavily.

The large, blue eye was on the ceiling, staring at him silently.

Everything went dark.

——We live in the world day after day, but we know almost nothing about the world.

——Why do we remember the past and not the future?

And why do I exist?

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Nian heard the crying sound again, suppressed in the throat, sobbing in pain. Just listening to the crying sound, he could be drowned by the deep sorrow in it.

His groggy mind couldn't help but wonder: Who died? Why was he crying so sadly?

Chen Nian felt a glimmer of light, just like when the dream just began. Perhaps now, what he heard and felt was still the scene in the dream.

Chen Nian tried hard to open his eyes.

This time, he succeeded at once.

He saw the pure white ceiling, and there was no blue eye. Suddenly, Chen Nian could not distinguish between reality and dreams.

The sunlight was blocked by the drawn curtains, and only a faint light filled the room, preventing it from being completely dark.

The suppressed sobbing sound was just beside him. Chen Nian tried to turn his head to look, but before he could make a difficult attempt, the man was startled.

The next second, Chen Nian saw Shafulai's face appear in front of him. Alpha's eyes were red and bloodshot, and the tip of his nose was severely damaged. He looked like a red-nosed clown.

When Shafulai found that he was awake, his eyes widened in disbelief. A tear fell from his eyes, hit Chen Nian's lips, and went into his mouth along the seam between his lips.

Bitter and salty.

Chen Nian opened his mouth and tried hard to move his vocal cords. Although they were small, they were still able to produce vibrations.

"Am I... in heaven?" he asked softly.

"No, this is not heaven," Shafley's hoarse voice trembled violently, "You are not going to die, absolutely not. How do you feel now? Is there any discomfort?"

Chen Nian asked with difficulty: "Then why did I see an angel?"

Shafley's brain froze for a full ten seconds before he realized that Chen Nian was joking with him.

He was shot through the chest by a water arrow, and then immersed in the sea water for several hours to rescue his lover who had been in a coma for a day and a night. The first thing he did after waking up was -

Just a joke on him???

Seeing Shafulai's completely dazed look, Chen Nian couldn't help but want to laugh.

He raised the corners of his lips, breathed a little faster, and felt the pain in his chest.

He remembered everything. He and Shaflay took a submarine to see the part of cinnabar hidden under the sea, but when they were about to surface, they were attacked by the monster.

A water arrow pierced his left chest.

Before Chen Nian had time to recall more details, he felt warm water falling on his face one after another.

Those violet eyes were like a heavy rainstorm, with tears rolling out drop after drop.

This was not the first time that Chen Nian knew Shafulai would cry. When Shafulai walked out of the bedroom with his luggage in a cold manner and chose to live outside, the corners of Alpha's eyes were also red, with obvious signs of crying, but this was the first time Chen Nian saw the whole process.

He even watched the tough guy cry for two seconds.

"Why are you crying?" Chen Nian asked.

Shafley fell back heavily into the chair. He grabbed one of Chen Nian's hands and buried his face in the boy's powerless palm.

Chen Nian clearly felt the tears flowing between his fingers, gathering together and then flowing down his wrist to his arm.

At first Shaflay just cried silently, but later a suppressed sob came from his throat. This sound always accompanied Chen Nian's dreams. Was it Shaflay who had been crying?

The emotions that had been suppressed for too long finally erupted at this moment. Shaflay even had difficulty breathing, and the hot air he exhaled when he took a deep breath sprayed on Chen Nian's arm.

Chen Nian had no strength left and could only move his fingers as hard as he could, rubbing Shafulai's face with his fingertips.

The existence of the thorough mark allowed him to empathize with the Alpha's strong emotions at the moment. Shafley had always been a very reserved person, not saying too many nice words or using sweet talk to make him happy, which was completely different from the many Alphas Chen Nian had known before.

Chen Nian knew that he loved her very much and was willing to devote countless time and energy to her.

But at this moment, he was feeling more clearly than ever before how strong and passionate this love was.

"Don't cry," Chen Nian said softly, "I'm not seriously injured, am I? After all, my heart is on the other side."

Shafley paused with difficulty, humming softly, his throat choking and aching.

Chen Nian, lying on the hospital bed, had no idea how Alpha had managed to survive the day and night of his coma. For the first time, Shafulai realized that a person could be in so much pain.

The scene at that time kept appearing in front of his eyes. The sea water poured into the submarine frantically, and was quickly dyed bright red as it flowed past Chen Nian. Amid the shrill alarm, they surfaced, and everything under the sunlight was shattered.

He watched helplessly as Chen Nian's body went limp. He could only try his best to hold the boy and cover the hole in his chest with his hands, but he could not stop the blood from gushing out.

The bright red stung his eyes, nerves and brain. He struggled to swim to shore with Chen Nian. He knelt at the feet of the military doctor, begging, and was hurriedly helped up.

Then there was an endless wait outside the rescue room. The water arrow penetrated not only Chen Nian, but also his entire soul.

He sat on the bench with his face buried in his hands, shedding countless tears and losing all ability to think. He regretted why he brought Chen Nian to the Huanhai Platform and wished he could strangle himself to death.

Until the doctor came out and told him that the princess was no longer in danger, his tone was full of relief.

The water arrow that was supposed to hit the center of the head accurately passed through all of Chen Nian's important blood vessels and only pierced his lungs.

Because Chen Nian is a mirror person.

All of his organs are located in the exact opposite position to that of a normal person.
