Back To the Past To Fall In Love

Chapter 127:

Because he arrived early, Xu Ziran sat in a restaurant box next to the funeral home and waited for a while.

However, the task has not been cancelled. Obviously, the so-called “participation” also has a fixed standard, not just seeing the hearse.

Xu Ziran was actually not interested in completing this task or not, but he was overwhelmed by this matter and was inexplicably panicked, so after struggling for a long time, he decided to go in and see the situation.

As a result, I just stood up and received a text message from an unknown number on my mobile phone—Unknown number: Why didn’t you come in? ,

Xu Ziran sat down instead.

Xu Ziran: Who are you?

Unknown number: Qiu Yurou.

Xu Ziran was stunned for a moment. What the other party said this time was too succinct, and he didn’t pretend to be mysterious at all, but made her a little unaccustomed to it?

Qiu Yurou, who sent messages with an unknown number? It should be “that” Qiu Yurou.

She hesitated, and as she walked out, she typed again—you’re back on…

Before I finished typing, another message was sent over there: Where are you?

Xu Ziran raised an eyebrow.

She had clearly sent Qiu Yurou her location before. Although the other party used a new number, if it was Qiu Yurou’s body, she should know where she was.

So she deleted the typed words and re-sent: I’m in.

Anyway, she was going to go in and take a look.

This is not the first time Xu Ziran has come to the funeral home. The older he gets, the more he realizes that life and death are nothing but ordinary things, and the people who come and go in the funeral home are often not heartbroken people, but more numb and useless spectators.

When entering the door, Xu Ziran heard the system remind—[The task progress is 20% completed. 】

Xu Ziran didn’t meet anyone who received him, so Xu Ziran went in directly. Because the place is not big, Xu Ziran didn’t walk long before he met someone he knew well.

Qiu Yurou’s mother, Shen Feiyao, was sitting on a bench in the corridor, chatting with a middle-aged woman, and the topic of the conversation was about what to eat for lunch.

When Xu Ziran approached, Shen Feiyao happened to raise her head, her expression was stunned, but she didn’t speak.

Xu Ziran looked at her, not sure if she wanted to say hello.

But the next second she knew what she should do, because Shen Feiyao lowered her head casually and continued to chat with the people next to her, so Xu Ziran also pretended not to look sideways and walked over directly.

-[The task progress is 30% complete. 】

A group of people stood in front, probably relatives of Bai Yuge, chatting.

One person asked: “How long will it take to burn?”

One person replied: “It’s estimated that it will be soon. They said that the food is ready, and everyone can eat it when they go back.”

Another person said, “How is the money for vegetables calculated?”

Answered soon…

Xu Ziran thought to himself: It’s really strange, how much people like to eat, after all, it’s all about this.

She looked at the group of people and didn’t see Qiu Yurou. She was thinking about calling to ask where Qiu Yurou is now, when she heard someone in the crowd say, “Why is that girl from the Liu family here?”

Xu Ziran paused.

“Say good friends.”

“That’s not what I heard…”

“What did you say?”

“It’s… that kind of relationship?”

“what relationship?”

“Between men and women.”

“Oh, to die, those two can be…”

“Now little girls play this a lot.”

Xu Ziran had a calm expression, coughed beside him, and interjected, “Hello, I want to ask something.”

Everyone looked at her.

Xu Ziran was unusually calm: “I’m Liu Yizhen’s friend. I’m here to find her. Where is she?”

Everyone suddenly realized, one of them pointed out a direction: “She went over there.”

Xu Ziran smiled and thanked, turned and walked in that direction, the moment he turned around, the smile turned solemn.

Liu Yizhen is really here.

So, the “error code” did not lie to her, nor did it give any wrong information, and what the other party said was very credible.

Xu Ziran walked along the corridor for a while, and saw a small door. The small door opened a crack, and Wei Wei could hear the sound outside.

Xu Ziran stepped forward and saw a small garden and a small pavilion through the crack of the door. At the same time, he saw the people sitting in the pavilion.

She was very surprised.

Because besides Qiu Yurou and Liu Yizhen, there was actually Yao Jinling in the pavilion.

The distance was still a little far, Xu Ziran couldn’t hear their conversation, or the three of them didn’t say anything at all, Liu Yizhen and Qiu Yurou seemed to be playing chess, while Yao Jinling was playing with his head down.

Xu Ziran was thinking about whether to go out directly, when the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated again, Xu Ziran took out the mobile phone and saw a text message from an unknown number again—

Unknown number: Ten minutes left.

Xu Ziran looked at Qiu Yurou, who was concentrating on playing chess outside, and thought to herself that she really didn’t send this message.

At the same time, she frowned and thought, not understanding what this meant.

So she replied: What do you mean? What will happen if I don’t arrive in ten minutes?

Unknown number: The cremation is over in ten minutes, and Liu Yizhen can’t lose.

Xu Ziran: Why can’t you lose?

Unknown number: Looks like you’ve arrived.

Xu Ziran was dumbfounded.

The other party knew her too well, and in one sentence she disarmed and surrendered.

She gave a wry smile, and was about to put away her phone and push the door out, when she saw a new text message—

Unknown numbers: delay time, interrupt the game.

Xu Ziran thoughtfully pushed the door and walked out.

The old door made a sound as it was pushed, and the three people not far away raised their heads.

Qiu Yurou looked surprised, but quickly stood up and walked over to meet her.

Xu Ziran focused almost all of his attention on Qiu Yurou, so he immediately determined that the other party was still his Qiu Yurou.

How did the “unknown number” come about?

While holding the hand of Qiu Yurou who was approaching, Xu Ziran also observed the others present, Liu Yizhen looked up at her and quickly looked down at the chess game, Yao Jinling continued to look down at the phone.

Qiu Yurou whispered, “Did you wait too long?”

“That’s not the problem, it’s okay to come in, right?”

“It doesn’t matter, other people are not necessarily close.”

Xu Ziran and Qiu Yurou walked into the pavilion together. Xu Ziran glanced at the round table in the middle and found that they were playing chess.

Xu Ziran only roughly understood the rules of chess, and said it would be reluctant, but because he wanted to delay time, he still said, “How did you play chess?”

Before Qiu Yurou could answer, Liu Yizhen said lazily, “It’s boring, I have nothing to do anyway.”

While saying that, Liu Yizhen turned his attention to Qiu Yurou.

Qiu Yurou hesitated to speak, but finally did not speak, pulling Xu Ziran to sit down.

Seeing Qiu Yurou like this, Xu Ziran knew that there was an inside story, but the other party covered it up like this, so she didn’t ask questions, sat down on the stool, and went to greet Yao Jinling on the side.

“Mr. Yao, I didn’t expect you to be there.”

Yao Jinling looked up at her.

Xu Ziran’s heart skipped a beat, and then she quickly shook her head and thought to herself, had she been stimulated recently, and felt wrong no matter how she saw anyone.

Yao Jinling replied, “I came here by accident to see the chess game.”

Because Xu Ziran grabbed the hand Qiu Yurou used to play chess, Qiu Yurou took a swipe but did not draw it out, and said, “Curan, let go of your hand first.”

Xu Ziran let go, but instead of letting the two continue to play chess, he asked, “How long have you been here? When will it end?”

Liu Yi patted the table impatiently: “Do you have any tutors, don’t you know how to sit quietly on the side in this situation?”

When she said these words, no one responded. The other three present only turned their attention to her, watched silently for a moment, and then continued to speak.

Qiu Yu said: “It’s probably still a few minutes.”

Having said that, she looked at her watch and said in surprise, “I’ll be leaving in six or seven minutes.”

Liu Yizhen said: “Then hurry up.”

Qiu Yurou focused her mind and continued to play chess.

Xu Ziran scolded herself for being too stupid in her heart, how could she remind them of the time at this time.

Holding the bag in his arms, Xu Ziran was thinking about countermeasures and thinking, and then he remembered the matter of pretending to be sick in order to skip class when he was a child.

Fake sickness, although sometimes even the teacher suspects it is fake, but because it is difficult to verify, it is usually tried and tested.

Thinking of this, Xu Ziran lowered his head and held his breath, frowning.

She held it for a while, and seeing that no one noticed her abnormality, she simply pulled Yao Jinling’s clothes next to her.

Yao Jinling still didn’t move.

Xu Ziran raised her head, just as she was about to remind Yao Jinling to take a look at herself, but she saw that the other party was looking at her, her eyes hardly blinking.

The honey-colored pupils are like honey, almost sweet in the bright sunshine.

After a long while, Yao Jinling said, “Are you uncomfortable?”

The voice was very calm, not surprised at all.

However, when Qiu Yurou heard this, she suddenly jumped out of her chess-playing concentration and looked at Xu Ziran.

Xu Ziran also looked at her.

Qiu Yurou was still a little worried, but when she looked at it, she became confused and said, “Cumin, do you—stomach hurts?”

Obviously, Teacher Qiu Yurou has an essential difference, that is, the teacher really can’t tell if you are really uncomfortable, but Qiu Yurou can tell.

Xu Ziran bit the bullet and said, “…Maybe, it may be dysmenorrhea.”

Of course Qiu Yurou knew Xu Ziran’s cycle, and immediately guessed that the other party was lying, but after guessing, she no longer questioned, but said, “I’ll take you back for a rest.”

Xu Ziran pretended to be in pain: “No, I’ll just rest while I’m at it.”

“That’s not good, how can I endure this kind of thing in the past…”

The two of you talked nonsense for a long time, and Liu Yizhen couldn’t stand it anymore: “…If it goes on like this, you will lose.”

Yao Jinling said on the side: “There is no reason for this, I am a notary.”

Liu Yizhen sneered: “That’s because she’s procrastinating and can’t tell the difference between the winner and the loser.”

Yao Jinling said, “You can suspend the chess game and talk about it next time.”

Liu Yizhen wanted to say something again, but the phone rang.

There were two phones that rang, Liu Yizhen and Qiu Yurou’s.

The two answered the phone and hung up after only a few words.

Qiu Yu said: “The cremation is over, we have to go.”

Liu Yizhen didn’t speak, only revealed unwillingness in his expression, and turned to leave.

The small door not far away was opened, and Shen Feiyao stood there and shouted, “Let’s go.”

Qiu Yurou looked at Xu Ziran: “How about I go back with you?”

Xu Ziran looked at the [task completed 50%] on the system and said, “No, I’m right by the side and won’t disturb you.”

Having said that, Qiu Yurou didn’t say much, because Shen Feiyao was pressing too hard, so she left first, leaving Xu Ziran and Yao Jinling to clean up the chessboard.

The sunlight slanted in and shone on the fingers of the two of them to clean up the pieces. Xu Ziran looked at Yao Jinling’s movements and said, “How did you do it.”

Yao Jinling paused and smiled: “You found it.”

“How could it not be found, you didn’t hide it at all.”

“It’s not that I don’t hide it, pretending to be another person is a difficult thing.”

Xu Ziran felt a little weird. It was originally a sci-fi thing from the future, but now it seems to be more supernatural: “You have Yao Jinling’s body, does she know?”

Yao Jinling looked at Xu Ziran: “She knows, she agreed to this matter.”

Xu Ziran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Can you agree to this? Sign a contract.”

“Yao Jinling” nodded: “It’s like this, everything has a price, living in the present is the same as going back to the past.”

Xu Ziran’s heart skipped a beat: “What price?”

“Yao Jinling” said: “Change the future.”

Xu Ziran smacked in his heart, thinking about what the price would be, and said, “Then are you changing the future now?”

The other party didn’t answer, put away the pieces neatly, put the lid on, but suddenly said: “What kind of future do you want?”

Although Xu Ziran didn’t know why the other party asked this question, he still replied: “I don’t know if it’s a bit hypocritical to say this, but I still hope that everyone – at least the people I know can be happier.”

I hope that the people I love and those who love me are happy and healthy – in fact, this is Xu Ziran’s wish all along.

“That’s it…” The other party seemed to be sighing.

“That’s right, maybe it’s also selfish, so I can be happier too.”

After saying these words, Xu Ziran felt very sour, and asked back, “Then what kind of future do you hope for?”

Xu Ziran asked this question naturally with a purpose, that is, to hope that the other party could tell her specific plans and goals, otherwise it would always appear like this from time to time, and Xu Ziran was really at a loss.

She looked at the other’s face, observed the other’s expression.

However, the other party’s expression was nothing special, and he even blurted out as if he didn’t think anything.

She said: “I hope the future – you can be happy.”
