Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

Occasionally, the chirping of insects can be heard in the dark night, and the swaying shadows of the trees stand like silent ghosts in the forest. The distant mountains are still there, but not very clear in the dark night.

They were on the top of the mountain, leaning against each other, wrapped in the rich night color, and their breathing and heartbeats seemed insignificant in the vast universe.

Gu Ling looked at the dark night, and his slightly cool voice drifted into Qiao Yu's ears along with the wind from the top of the mountain.

"They say the darkness before dawn is the most difficult to endure. I'm sure I can make it through and see today's sunrise. What about you?"

Can you survive the darkness before dawn? Can you survive the days without her?

Qiao Yu clenched his fist, and the wedding ring on his ring finger hurt.

"Lingling, can you stay with me for a while longer, please?" His voice trembled and his tone was almost pleading.

Today, it's today.

Gu Ling was leaving. He knew this for no reason, but he would rather not know it, because in this way, he could at least enjoy the sunrise over Yunwu Mountain with Gu Ling as if nothing had happened.

Gu Ling hugged Qiao Yu tightly, with such force that he seemed to want to rub him into his body.

Two hearts beat in each other's chests, they hugged each other closely, feeling each other's heartbeat.

"Qiao Qiao, life will die when the heart stops, but -" she sighed inexplicably, "love will not."

Gu Ling's emotions come from the people she meets. Those people's emotions are perceived and absorbed by her, and finally transformed into a tiny bit.

She was a stone, but, from the moment she had a name, she was definitely more than just a stone.

Time passed slowly, the distant mountains became one, and a light appeared in the far distance.

This light illuminated the sky, the dark sky turned into light blue, and the leisurely white clouds were dyed orange.

The two turned their heads and looked, and the sun suddenly jumped out of the top of the mountain, and the extreme orange-red color divided the sky and the earth into two.

The mountains on the ground were shrouded in endless clouds, with only the tops of their heads barely visible. The surging clouds were like a surging white sea spreading under the feet of the two people.

The sky was getting brighter, but Qiao Yu became more and more frightened, and he repeated it over and over again.

"See you tomorrow."

"Ling Ling, see you tomorrow."

Let’s see you tomorrow, okay?

From the moment they met, Qiao Yu looked forward to seeing Gu Ling every day.

He hopes that Gu Ling will be there every tomorrow.

Gu Ling leaned in Qiao Yu's arms, the strength in his body slipping away bit by bit.

She can speak, but she can't make any promises, so she has nothing to say.

The sun moved away from the top of the mountain and hung high in the sky. The rolling sea of ​​clouds was dyed beautiful colors by the sunlight.

Qiao Yu finally calmed down. He rested his chin on Gu Ling's shoulder, looking at the distant mountains, the sea of ​​clouds, and this extremely beautiful scenery.

His eyes were filled with this world, and his eyes, soaked with tears, were hazy and blurred.

He said, "Do you like me a little more today?"

"some."

Qiao Yu seemed to smile, with a faint sigh in his words: "What a pity, if time is longer, you will like me more."

He hugged Gu Ling from behind, with endless sadness in his eyes. Gu Ling wanted to turn around and look at him, but was trapped in his arms.

She stopped moving, her slightly cold voice containing the same gentleness as Qiao Yu's.

"It doesn't matter. Although my current self won't like you more than my future self, no matter what moment I am at, I will always be the one who loves you the most, Gu Ling."

It is an infinite liking, always approaching 1 but never being 1.

"Gu Ling, I love you. Qiao Yu loves Gu Ling the most in the world."

Gu Ling was tired, and her eyelids became heavier. She forced herself to look at Qiao Yu, and met his tearful eyes.

She sighed for the last time: "Qiao Qiao, your eyes are the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen."

I have been watched by these eyes throughout my life, so much so that every day since then has been a beautiful memory.

The broken heart in the chest stopped beating as the words came to an end.

The sun in the sky was diligently emitting heat. Perhaps it was because today's sunlight was too gentle and was reluctant to burn Gu Ling's skin, so the heat from his body was dissipated too quickly, so quickly that Qiao Yu had no time to react, and the cold temperature swept through Gu Ling's body and mind.

Gu Ling is dead.

There will be no Gu Ling tomorrow.

He burst into tears.

On the top of Yunwu Mountain, the gentle and ever-smiling Qiao Yu threw away all his dignity and composure and cried miserably.

Because, on this day, he lost his girl forever.

Gu Ling, in soul state, floated in the air, holding in his hand the origin of the world that he had obtained last time.

The system's eyelids jumped: "You want to stay for Qiao Yu? Gu Ling, why bother? You will meet thousands of Qiao Yu in the future. There is no need to pay so much for him."

"No, there is only one Qiao Yu in this world."

She will never meet another Qiao Yu.

The system made a sharp beep: "Are you in love with him?"

Gu Ling shook her head. She looked at Qiao Yu below, with only a hint of ripple in her dark eyes.

In every world, she would spend her life with someone, and she thought that Qiao Yu should not be an exception.

The system was annoyed: "If you stay here, cracks will appear in the small world and it will eventually collapse. Even if I agree, the laws of nature in this world will not agree!"

Gu Ling looked at the origin of the world in his hand and said, "Just make a deal with Him."

"The cracks caused by my staying in this world will be repaired by the world's origin. After Qiao Yu dies, I will leave and give the remaining world's origin to the Heavenly Dao."

"Tian Dao, you will agree, right?"

Tiandao, who had been secretly keeping an eye on the illegal intruders and trying to find an opportunity to eliminate them, was suddenly named.

He looked at the origin of the world in Gu Ling's hand with envy, and agreed immediately amid the sound of the system jumping up and down.

What a joke, it’s a sure win business, anyone who isn’t happy about it is a fool.

only……

Tian Dao asked, "Even if you accompany him, he can't see you, what's the point?"

In one world, Gu Ling can only enter one person's body.

Gu Ling stretched out his fingers to wipe Qiao Yu's tears, but couldn't touch him. Gu Ling paused and said softly: "It will be meaningful."

Everything she does has meaning.

……

Qiao Yu calmly handled Gu Ling's funeral. There was no trace of strange emotion on his face. He was very calm, which was unlike Qiao Yu.

"Everything is here, but you can't touch the things in the other room."

Qiao Yu slowly looked at Gu Hai, and Gu Hai said, "She said this is a gift for you. Once a week, you need to come to me to get it."

Qiao Yu nodded silently, and went upstairs into the room under Gu Hai's gaze.

Gu Hai looked at him and thought of the phone call that day.

That day, Qiao Yu's cold voice reached Gu Hai's ears through the phone, and he hung up before he could react.

He said, "Gu Ling is dead."

A light tone spoke of a sad topic.

Gu Hai looked at the key in his hand and was a little stunned at this moment.

Gu Ling, his and Ye Zhi's daughter, died.

……

Qiao Yu was sorting out Gu Ling's belongings in the room. He wanted to move these things out of Gu's house and move back to his and Gu Ling's original home.

The strawberry sofa, the notebook with "Studio Terms" written on it, and a lot of odds and ends filled up the room.

He noticed a painting in the corner. It was the painting that Gu Ling had drawn during the trip to East Lake. He slowly reached out and uncovered the white cloth.

The young man was wearing a black baseball cap and had a drawing board in front of him, and was painting.

Willows are swaying all around, the lake is gleaming with light, cherry blossoms are falling from the sky, and the young man is standing in a sea of ​​flowers. It is hard to tell whether the young man or the flowers are more beautiful.

At that time, Gu Ling was thinking about distancing himself from Qiao Yu, but this man was too wonderful, so Gu Ling changed from painting the scenery to painting the person.

Qiao Yu looked at the painting and smiled, and tears began to fall from his eyes as he smiled.

He suddenly began to look forward to his future life. To be more precise, he began to look forward to the weekly gift that Gu Ling mentioned.

The gift was a painting, and the painting showed Gu Ling and Qiao Yu.

But these paintings are a little different. The previous paintings all depicted things that happened between the two of them, but the things in these paintings that Qiao Yu got from Gu Hai did not happen between them.

As time went by, Qiao Yu gradually understood——

This is the future, the future of Gu Ling and Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu went traveling again, and he decided to do everything that would happen in the "future".

Let the future become the present, let the future become the past.

He might be overwhelmed with longing, and always felt that when he was doing these things, Gu Ling was right beside him, working with him to turn the future into reality.

The longer the time goes, the stronger this feeling becomes.

Finally one day, Qiao Yu began to smile, gently and happily, as if Gu Ling was still by his side.

Later, when Gu Hai grew old, Qiao Yu stayed with him and took care of him.

On the day when Gu Hai went to meet Ye Zhi, Qiao Yu walked into a room with the key that Gu Hai gave him.

There were many paintings in the room. Qiao Yu didn't dare to look at them too much or count them carefully. He carefully took out the painting with the smallest number and walked out of the room.

But he couldn't take the wrong one, he didn't want to see what would happen to the two of them.

But everyone has an ending.

Their ending was two old people with gray hair, leaning on each other and leaving this world.

Is it a parallel world? No.

because……

"Gu Ling, do you like me a little more today?"

Gu Ling gently hugged Old Man Qiao and said, "Yes."

Old man Qiao smiled and closed his eyes.

Gu Ling.

I heard it.

He wants to use a paintbrush to record the scenery along the way, and finally spend the rest of his life with the girl he likes in a small town with a slow pace of life and beautiful scenery.
