BXBX NOVEL Chapter 124
Chapter 124
“Happened once before?” Meng Xinghe raised an eyebrow. “Then what?”
Xiao Tangqiu looked dazed, “This car accident seems to have happened before… It was you who pushed me away… But you died…
“You died… I watched you die…”
Xiao Tangqiu frowned and sank into contemplation, but he couldn’t remember any details. Other than the few flashing images at the moment of the car accident, he couldn’t remember anything… But despite this, he couldn’t help shaking all over and have a shortness of breath.
“Calm down! Calm down!” Meng Xinghe immediately grabbed Xiao Tangqiu’s wrist, “Aren’t I okay now? Calm down, I’m not dead, I’m still living fine!”
Xiao Tangqiu stared blankly at Meng Xinghe, his eyes gradually turning red, “…Are you really not dead?”
Meng Xinghe, “Hey, hey, hey, of course I’m not dead! Otherwise who is the one in front of you right now? A ghost?”
Xiao Tangqiu repeated, “Are you really not dead? Are you really alive?”
Meng Xinghe looked helpless, he grabbed Xiao Tangqiu’s hand and put it on his face, “You feel this, it’s a real body, right? Can a ghost have a real body? Does it have warmth? Can a ghost be warm?”
Xiao Tangqiu silently felt the temperature under his fingertips, and he gradually calmed down, “You are really… still alive… you are really not dead…”
“Of course!” Meng Xinghe pinched Xiao Tangqiu’s cheek, “How can I die so easily! I want to become a famous game developer in the future! I want to make a game that is popular all over the world! I want everyone to know my name! I won’t die until I achieve that goal!”
“You’re so chunni!” Xiao Tangqiu slapped Meng Xinghe’s hand away and laughed mercilessly, “You want to be a game developer! You obviously don’t know anything about making games!”
“I can learn it! I’ll take this major when I go to college!” Meng Xinghe laughed, “I want the whole world to be addicted to the games I make! By the way, haven’t you written novels before? I will adapt your novel into a game when the time comes!”
Xiao Tangqiu was about to laugh at Meng Xinghe as always, but after seeing the injury on Meng Xinghe’s face, he couldn’t help but fall in a daze again… For some reason, he always felt that Meng Xinghe’s original injury should be much worse than this. What the hell was going on with that bloody Meng Xinghe and the icy morgue he remembered?
“What’s wrong with you?” Meng Xinghe finally managed to cheer Xiao Tangqiu up, but Xiao Tangqiu’s mood went down in a blink of an eye and he could only scratch his head helplessly.
Xiao Tangqiu shook his head, “I don’t know… I just think… there really was an exact same car accident… and you died…”
Meng Xinghe sighed, “Maybe it was a nightmare you had?”
Xiao Tangqiu looked dazed, “A nightmare I had? It’s possible… but I can’t remember the content of that nightmare…”
Meng Xinghe touched Xiao Tangqiu’s head, “Maybe it was a precognitive dream. You foresaw that we would have a car accident today and I died, but now because of the butterfly effect, the car accident happened, but I survived. This is a good thing isn’t it?”
“Precognitive dream? Butterfly effect?” Xiao Tangqiu frowned and thought.
“Or, that’s what happened in a parallel world,” Meng Xinghe continued to conjecture, “maybe in a parallel world, we also had a car accident. In that parallel world, when I pushed you away and got hit by the car, I died. And the you in that parallel world synced up with you and had a moment of telepathy, allowing you to see what happened there.”
Xiao Tangqiu frowned, “Parallel world? Telepathy?”
Meng Xinghe suddenly got excited, he sat up straight, and said with a serious face, “In other words, at an inflection point or a divergence in fate, a person’s choices and actions will cause countless trajectories to extend in parallel. Maybe the you who witnessed my death and the real you are actually the same you, but because you made different choices and behaved differently at the time of the car accident &#k2014; for example, he was one step faster, but you were one step slower &#k2014; so fate changed in an instant, and two parallel worlds stretched out at the point in time, just like a &#k2018;Y’.
“Because our current time point is not far from that fateful time point, you can still see some images of what you experienced… But it should only be temporary, and after a while, the two parallel worlds should be completely separated, and then you won’t be affected in any way.”
Xiao Tangqiu sighed. “Is that so? If so… that’s good.”
“Hey hey hey, I’ve been trying so hard to mess around, why don’t you give me some face! Even if you can’t pretend like ‘Wow, you’re amazing’, you can still say ‘You seem to make a lot of sense’!” Meng Xinghe crossed his arms with a look of indignation.
Xiao Tangqiu finally laughed, “Okay, okay, you are the best, I admire you to death.”
“…Anyway, you don’t have to think too much. I’m not just fine, but also alive and well. So what are you worried about?” Meng Xinghe rubbed Xiao Tangqiu’s head.
Xiao Tangqiu nodded, “Mhm!”
Even though he was still a little distracted, he tried to put on a look of being all right in order not to worry Meng Xinghe.
Moments later, the two teenagers who had been terrified by the car accident all night fell asleep in a small single hospital bed.
The next morning, the doctor confirmed that Meng Xinghe was fine and could be discharged from the hospital. But because the stitches could not be removed for the time being, he could only continue to wear bandages all over his face.
“How am I supposed to go to class like this?” Meng Xinghe pouted, “Should we skip class?”
Xiao Tangqiu sighed, “Didn’t we promise our parents to properly go to class?”
Meng Xinghe looked depressed, “I don’t want to go to class with bandages all over my face. I’ll be laughed to death!”
Xiao Tangqiu tried to come up with ideas, “Go buy a mask and wear it?”
“No, then let’s take a day off,” Meng Xinghe rubbed Xiao Tangqiu’s shoulder, “We all had a car accident yesterday, isn’t it normal to take a day off?”
Xiao Tangqiu pursed his lips, “Then you go and tell my parents and your mother. If they agree, I have no problem.”
Meng Xinghe nodded, “Okay!”
He came back a moment later and gave Xiao Tangqiu a triumphant gesture, “OK! They said yes!”
Xiao Tangqiu looked suspicious, “Did you really call?”
Meng Xinghe raised his brows, “Hey, hey, don’t really treat me as a delinquent. Although I’m a bit of a chunni, I’m not so rebellious.”
Xiao Tangqiu expressed doubts, “You dragged me to run away from home yesterday.”
Meng Xinghe scratched his head, “Then you make a phone call yourself and ask if I have called?”
Xiao Tangqiu laughed, “Okay, I believe you, let’s go.”
Meng Xinghe glared at him, “You bastard, messing with me!”
Xiao Tangqiu blinked, “Where are we going now?”
Meng Xinghe, “Go to an internet cafe to play games?”
As soon as Xiao Tangqiu thought of the internet cafe, he thought of the car accident yesterday, and immediately refused thrice, “Not good! Don’t! Don’t go! Did you forget the car accident yesterday?”
Meng Xinghe scratched his head, “That car accident didn’t happen in an internet cafe!”
“Either way, I don’t want to see that internet cafe now!” Xiao Tangqiu bit his lip, “Let’s go home!”
Meng Xinghe immediately said, “I don’t want to go back to my house.”
Xiao Tangqiu nodded, “Then go to my house, my parents should be working right now.”
The two teenagers who skipped class quickly came to an old community with familiarity.
Xiao Tangqiu took out the keys in his pocket and opened the door.
“I haven’t been to your house in a while,” Meng Xinghe looked around and curled his lips, “I really kind of miss it.”
Kind of miss it? Xiao Tangqiu also paused for some reason.
Even though everything in the house was what he remembered, he somehow felt nostalgic, and even felt like it’s a world away.
“I remember when I came to your house for the first time, I felt that your house was very beautifully decorated. Your mother has good taste and it’s very warm everywhere. In contrast, my mother has no taste. My house is so cold,” Meng Xinghe curled his lips, “…doesn’t feel like home at all.”
Xiao Tangqiu raised his eyebrows, “You were obviously just a little kid who didn’t understand anything back then, so why are you still thinking about this?”
Meng Xinghe shrugged, “Maybe it’s my impression from later on. You know I have a good memory, so I remember things from a long time ago.”
Xiao Tangqiu smiled, “I remember when you were very young, your tiny face was so serious, like a little adult. And you were very smart, so smart that you didn’t seem like a child at all… Why are you so lively now? You actually even learned from other rebellious teenagers to run away from home!”
Meng Xinghe raised his eyebrows, “Isn’t it your influence?”
Xiao Tangqiu, “Trying to blame me?”
Meng Xinghe suddenly turned and walked towards Xiao Tangqiu’s room, “Let me see if you have hidden any porn books.”
Xiao Tangqiu smiled, “Hey, hey, how is that possible! Don’t just enter other people’s rooms!”
Although he said so, he didn’t really stop Meng Xinghe and even followed Meng Xinghe into the room.
Xiao Tangqiu’s room was a typical boy’s room, simple and plain, but still clean and tidy.
Meng Xinghe flipped through the bookshelf in Xiao Tangqiu’s room, “Let me see… tsk, why aren’t there any porn?”
Xiao Tangqiu, “How can there be any!”
Meng Xinghe suddenly paused, “What is this notebook? Is it your diary?”
Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly, “I seem to have forgotten… what is it?”
Meng Xinghe flipped open the notebook and said casually, “Huh? This seems to be a novel you wrote…”
Xiao Tangqiu also remembered a little, “It seems that I wrote it for fun when I was in junior high school. I forgot what I wrote.”
Meng Xinghe smiled, “Look at the great thing I found! The dark history of your middle school period! Let me see… the City of the Abyss?”
“And the Abyss Demon? …And a witch? …Wait, there is a Light God? This is too chunni! The chunni is explosive!”
Xiao Tangqiu blushed and quickly rushed towards Meng Xinghe, reaching out to grab the notebook, “Scram, scram, scram! Don’t read any more!”
“How can I! Such an interesting thing! Let me see… The world was originally a chaotic abyss and the first demon was born from the abyss. That is the creator demon, the Abyss Demon, who created the darkness at the beginning of the continent. After thousands of years of darkness, the first ray of light finally appeared in the darkness. From the Abyss Demon was born his opposite, the Light God. The Light God defeated the Abyss Demon and sealed the Abyss Demon… Hahaha I’m dying of laughter! This world is really something!”
“Don’t read it! If you keep reading, I’ll hit you!”
“Ten thousand years later, the Light God was defeated by the Abyss Demon, and since then he has fallen and the darkness has struck again. But before the Light God died, he broke through the gate of time and space, trying to summon a hero from another world to defeat the Abyss Demon… Ah, it was just a setting, there is no plotline yet? Wait, there is a setting for the protagonist later, let me see…”
“I’m really going to hit you!”
“The protagonist’s name is Shen Yuan? Hey, your naming is too simple! It’s clearly a homonym to Abyss! Can’t you spend more time thinking about a name!”
