It has been more than a week since the smog. When Qinhuai left, the means of transportation had basically stopped. At the beginning, self-driving was fine, but later some expressways were closed. Qinhuai had no choice but to keep detours. He walked for more than a week with an hour-long plane distance. He was not very hungry all the way, but he was full of bread and biscuits. He hadn’t eaten warm food for so long. He quickly drank a bowl of noodles and even the soup. .

Mu Nan, who was looking down at the phone, said when Qin Huai put down the bowl, "There's still more in the kitchen."

Qin Huai said: "Enough, it's too late, there's no need to eat too much."

Seeing that Qin Huai stopped eating, Mu Nan didn't say anything more. Although he had been looking for Qin Huai since his rebirth, but now that Qin Huai was in front of him, he didn't know how to face it. At this time in the previous life, his first reaction when he saw Qin Huai might be to cry, or maybe to scold, but it was more of joy and intimacy, rather than a bewildered silence like now.

After all, it’s different. After a lifetime and a death, some things have been suppressed too deeply, and it’s not so easy to let them out.

Qin Huai saw that Mu Nan kept his back to him, so he simply sat on the bed, stretched out his hand and turned Mu Nan around: "Nan Nan, let's talk."

Mu Nan couldn't help picking at the phone case with her fingers, and bowed her head in silence.

Qin Huai said: "Are you short of money?"

Mu Nan subconsciously looked up at Qin Huai, then quickly turned her head away without saying a word.

Qin Huai stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, because the cut was too short, it was not as fluffy as before, and it was a bit sticky, but this kind of substantive touch after many years still made Qin Huai feel a little bit happier, because Mu Nan didn't resist his movements, probably seeing that Mu Nan didn't resist so much, Qin Huai's tense heart relaxed a little, and then he said: "Wang Xiaoli said you were looking for me, you were looking for me everywhere, what happened? "

Wang Xiaoli is the class monitor of Qinhuai High School, but the relationship is quite ordinary. After all, he went abroad before finishing high school, and the connection between them is only in the same high school group. Not long ago, Wang Xiaoli suddenly sent him a message, saying that Mu Nan was everywhere. When he was looking for him, he came back in a hurry, but he was stranded at the airport due to the thick fog. He waited anxiously all night. After the thick fog cleared, there was a smog that could not go away. He couldn't wait any longer and drove directly. return. At the end of the car, there was no place to refuel. He finally came back on his bicycle with his bag on his back.

Mu Nan looked up at him, although his expression was calm, but his eyes were a little red: "If I don't look for you, will you never come back in this life?"

Qin Huai's eyes gradually darkened: "I said that I will definitely come back."

Mu Nan really wanted to say, you also said that you would not leave, but he has grown up, and he doesn't take things for granted like when he was a child, so he swallowed this subconscious rebuttal, and asked calmly: "If I don't look for you, when do you plan to come back?"

A bit of struggle flashed in Qin Huai's eyes: "When I think you still need me."

Mu Nan took a deep breath, and said in a cold voice, "Then you are not afraid that if you leave, one day I will die somewhere you don't know, and even if you regret it, you will never have the chance to see me again?"

Qin Huai's complexion sank: "You're talking nonsense, don't curse yourself."

Mu Nan pushed Qin Huai away, turned his back to him and lay down, and began to feel wronged in his heart, what did he mean when he felt that he was still needed, he obviously, since he was a child, never needed him.

Qin Huai sat on the bed and watched him for a while, and he also knew that the knot would not be untied in a short while, so he pulled the blanket beside him and covered him: "It's too late, go to sleep, I'll go there first Yes, come back this time, I won’t leave again, what’s the matter, let’s talk tomorrow, Nannan, no matter what happens, this time, unless you don’t want me, you drive me away, otherwise I will never leave again gone."

Mu Nan ignored him, but listened to him getting up from the bed, put on his slippers, and thoughtfully went out to turn off the light for him.

However, when Qin Huai returned to his home, he was completely dumbfounded. One room was piled up with furniture, another room was piled up with earthen pots, and even the living room had only one path to walk on. It hasn't grown yet, but some are sprouting green shoots, and there's the sound of chickens crowing from the balcony.

Qin Huai couldn't laugh or cry at that moment, turned his house into a plantation farm, which probably only Nan Nan could do.

Reluctantly closing the door, Qin Huai returned to Mu Nan's house lightly. At his house, even the kitchen was full of things. Apart from coming to sleep, he didn't even have a place to nest for the night.

Although the layout of the house was different from what he remembered, the person sleeping next to him was still the one he was familiar with. Qin Huai, who had been exhausted all the way, fell asleep very quickly.

The curtains were drawn down, so the room with the lights turned off was completely dark, but after the eyes got used to the darkness, they could vaguely see the silhouettes of the people around them. Qin Huai slept soundly, probably because he was very tired from the journey. People who never snored when they were young are now snoring.

Mu Nan leaned closer to Qin Huai, and the hand under the quilt quietly pinched the corner of Qin Huai's clothes.

He didn't know when Mu Nan fell asleep. He was thinking about things in his heart, thinking about how to tell Qin Huai about the future. Rebirth must not be said, but space can be said. Qin Huai's strangeness was only due to the vacancy in these years, but the strangeness brought about by this time did not affect his trust in Qin Huai at all. Trusting Qin Huai was like trusting himself. Thinking about it, Mu Nan fell asleep unknowingly. After falling asleep, he fell into that terrible dream again. In the dream, he returned to the previous life, and was blocked in the house by a group of murderers.

Although he also has a knife in his space, but there are a group of people on the opposite side, and even two of them are holding arrows and crossbows. How can he be defeated by a kitchen knife alone? After taking it away, those people found a few bottles of water and half a tortilla in his room. I don’t know if it was too little or they didn’t intend to let him go. During the fight, he didn’t even feel the knife pierced in. It wasn't until they kicked him away suddenly, and then ran away in a swarm, that he felt the pain, and the blood that couldn't be stopped no matter how much he covered it.

Mu Nan suddenly woke up from the dream, the suffocation and fear before death seemed to have not dissipated from him, especially where he was stabbed, there was still a hideous pain.

As soon as Mu Nan moved, Qin Huai woke up with a start. He stretched out his hand, and the people around him were drenched in sweat. He hurriedly got up and turned on the light. Seeing Mu Nan's face covered in cold sweat and his pale face, he covered his stomach with one hand, and immediately said nervously: "What's the matter, Nan Nan?" ? Have a nightmare, or something uncomfortable? Stomach pain?"

It took Mu Nan a while to recover from the suffocation of the nightmare, his body was sticky with sweat, he shook his head towards Qin Huai, and said in a weak voice: "It's okay, I had a nightmare, I'm going to take a shower."

Qin Huai watched him walk into the bathroom weakly, fearing that something would happen to him, he stood at the door and shouted after a while, only to be relieved when he got a response.

Mu Nan took a shower, his head throbbed in pain after waking up from the dream, he looked at Qin Huai who couldn't hide his tiredness and said, "Go to sleep, I'm fine."

Seeing him lying down on his back, Qin Huai leaned over and touched his cold palm: "What happened? I was so frightened by the nightmare." As he spoke, he reached out and touched his stomach. After waking up from the nightmare, it seemed that he held his stomach uncomfortable for a while.

Mu Nan who was lying on the bed was silent for a while before speaking: "Do you believe in the end of the world?"

If Mu Nan asked this question before, Qin Huai must have asked him on a whim when he saw something again, but seeing that he was frightened like that by the nightmare just now, he thought that Mu Nan was looking for him everywhere, and even used up all of him to enter the account The money in the bag suddenly jumped up: "Nan Nan, why do you ask such a question? What happened?"

When Mu Nan was silent just now, he had already thought of an explanation. He never thought of hiding the space, and it was naturally impossible to hide the goods from Qin Huai. Then there must be a reason for everything: "From more than three A month ago, I started to have nightmares. I dreamed about the heavy rain not long ago, I dreamed about the thick fog, and the smog. There are still many disasters behind. I don’t know if it will happen, but some have already It came true, the dream came true, I couldn't take it as a dream at all."

The person he trusts the most in this world is Qin Huai. Qin Huai has been by his side since he was born and was still in the hospital's incubator. Before going to kindergarten, he almost grew up on Qin Huai's body. That is, he went to sleep at Qin Huai's house, but he had to sleep with Qin Huai, otherwise he would cry endlessly.

Although the two grew up later, the situation of being stuck together and unwilling to separate was much better, but they were still together almost every day, from when Qin Huai was doing homework, he played on the sidelines, to when Qin Huai was doing his homework, Qin Huai helped him with tutoring Before the day when he separated at the age of fifteen, Qin Huai had never been absent from his life. So this trust is deeper than blood relationship. If he couldn't believe even Qin Huai, then tomorrow would be completely meaningless to him.

But rebirth has nothing to do with trust. The meaning behind rebirth is too heavy. He doesn't want Qin Huai to bear something that he shouldn't have to bear in this life.

Qin Huai said in a deep voice: "So the epidemic caused by the smog will kill many people, and after the smog, there will be severe cold and heat, earthquakes and droughts, and various disasters?"

Mu Nan hummed, and Qin Huai put his hand on his head: "I believe you, as long as it is what you say, I will believe it." What's more, Mu Nan's state can't fool him, even if he has been separated for many years, he will not be able to trust Mu Nan. Nan's understanding has never been lacking. Even though this matter sounds a bit unbelievable, he still chooses to believe it without hesitation.

Qin Huai stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms, and then pressed him to lie down: "Sleep with me for a while, the sky will fall after waking up, don't be afraid, no matter what disasters happen in the future, I will accompany you With you, I will never leave again."

Mu Nan turned his body sideways, turned his back to Qin Huai, and muttered in a low voice, "Liar."

Qin Huai smiled: "I won't lie to you again, I swear."
