The strategy was almost successful!

Fu Pingli looked at him in surprise.

Liao Ruming rarely said such things.He always...does whatever he wants.He is a casual person, he is too lazy to seriously say such serious words with a bit of strange literary color.

After Liao Ruming finished speaking, he also felt a little numb, and his face shrank wrinkled.Then he said, "It's kind of gross. But I mean it."

Fu Pingli laughed.

He completely sealed off the small room—to ensure that it would not be discovered by others like just now.Then he walked out with him.

Their luggage was at the corner, and Fu Pingli put the sweater in it.

Then Liao Ruming said: "We have to discuss this topic, right? We may never return, and we may die in an unknown place soon..."

"You won't die." Fu Pingli whispered.

"Okay, okay, I won't die." Liao Ruming said, "I'm just saying that the future is always changing, and no one knows what accidents we will encounter. That small room——has left traces of our past."

Fu Pingli looked at him.

Liao Ruming said: "However, we always have to move forward, no matter whether it will bring bad luck or good luck ahead."

Fu Pingli was stunned for a moment, then said: "I will not be obsessed with the past."

"……Then?"

"I just..." Fu Pingli said, "I don't want to let go, I don't want to abandon the past."

Fu Pingli is a nostalgic person.

Liao Ruming couldn't help laughing.His personality is completely different from Fu Pingli's.

Liao Ruming always tries to abandon the influence of the past on him, but Fu Pingli keeps looking back to the past, as if he is always living in the frozen past.

Liao Ruming didn't want to trace the cause of his personality, but he knew that he never missed the past—he never liked his past.

But at this moment, he looked at this man, his lover, his partner, the man who had walked through two worlds with him, and it was obvious to the naked eye that they were about to go to another world...

Liao Ruming suddenly realized that his past had changed.

His past is no longer a boring nursery, no longer an empty spaceship, no longer a lively strange planet with no place for him.His past has been mixed with another person's memory, and traces of this guy are everywhere.

His past is almost filled with this guy.

Liao Ruming stared at him blankly.

You see—it's never the past that traps him, but he traps himself in the past.

The more he hated his experience in the foster home, the more he cared, the more he hated, and the more unwilling he was.

... But, so long has passed, he should have learned to let go of himself.

Liao Ruming closed his eyes lightly, let out a breath, and then laughed. He said relaxedly and happily, "That's pretty good, too."

Fu Pingli asked puzzledly, "What's good?"

"Happy memories, memorable memories, always remember." Liao Ruming said, "Unpleasant memories, boring memories, just forget them quickly. It should be like this, right?"

Fu Pingli always felt that Liao Ruming was talking about other things.

He wanted to keep silent and let Liao Ruming have his own privacy, but he thought again, he should try to be honest and understand Liao Ruming's thoughts, shouldn't he?

So on their way to the cafeteria, Fu Pingli suddenly asked: "Do you have any unpleasant memories that you want to forget?"

Liao Ruming said sincerely: "That's too much."

Fu Pingli couldn't help being taken aback.

Liao Ruming's tone seemed careless: "Actually, it's just some childhood experiences... I keep recalling it, as if I'm torturing myself. Now I feel that it's meaningless to do so.

"... grown-ups were laughing while I was crying.

"When I had nightmares, adults told me to stay in bed and not disturb their rest. I wanted a doll to cuddle with because I was scared in the middle of the night, but the adults thought I was unmanly.

"I like stars, and I want an astronomical telescope. But it was impossible at that time, and I knew it too. Later, I had an assignment and asked what dreams I had, so I wrote this, but the teacher criticized it as too materialistic , like flashy things.

"I like orange—you know that. Why, because oranges were the fruit I ate the most when I was a child. At that time, the children lived together and the dorms were always stinky.

"You know, I like to be clean, so I always come back to the dorm with a piece of orange peel and put it next to my pillow. It's like an air freshener... It's not really good, it's just psychological comfort. Later it was The adults scolded me, saying that I don't pay attention to hygiene.

"...I really want to quarrel with them, but forget it. Children can't quarrel with grown-ups.

"I had a cartoon that I liked, and the grown-ups said it was childish, and then went to watch what they liked. I went to grab the remote control - I don't think that's right now, but I grabbed it anyway - and then They locked me in a small room and made me reflect.

"...Actually, they are all trivial matters."

Liao Ruming sighed.

Is it really important?

It seems not.

The adults in those orphanages wouldn't care, and now that Liao Ruming is an adult, he might not care so much—if he was asked to deal with a group of children, his performance would probably be even worse.

But for Xiao Liao at the time, he just held a grudge.

Those trifles shaped the current Liao Ruming.And people can never erase their past.They are always stuck in it without even knowing it.Even if he escapes one day, no one can deny what really happened.

Liao Ruming thought for a moment, then shrugged: "Anyway, I am narrow-minded, vengeful, irritable, and do whatever I want..."

He picks and chooses, describing himself with various not-so-positive words.

Until Fu Pingli suddenly hugged him sideways and kissed him.

He kissed the tear mole under his right eye, then his lips.Then he hugged him tightly.

"I'm sorry." Fu Pingli said.

Liao Ruming said in surprise, "What are you sorry for?"

"I locked you up before."

Liao Ruming chuckled: "It's been a long time and I'll mention it."

He didn't care about it anymore, but Fu Pingli didn't believe it.Maybe he really doesn't care, but Fu Pingli should always care, after all he is the "perpetrator".

There has never been a reason in the world to ask the victim to reflect, but not to allow the perpetrator to reflect.

Although the essence of this matter is not serious, it was just Fu Pingli's impulsive and violent actions, but now, Fu Pingli still sincerely apologizes to Liao Ruming for this matter.

After Liao Ruming stiffened his mouth for a moment, he still accepted it.

How much damage can a single solitary confinement do as a child?

At that time, Liao Ruming was probably... seven or eight years old.a young child.He stayed in that small room all night, let him cry and knock on the door, but no one paid any attention to him.

Later, the young Liao Ruming cried and admitted his mistake, saying that he would never watch cartoons again, and it was useless.

The only usefulness is probably that when he grows up, he really doesn't watch cartoons anymore.He still liked it, but he wasn't going to see it—what's the point?After all, only you can understand the impact of something that happened when you were young.

Fu Pingli apologized to him because Fu Pingli was willing to consider for Liao Ruming, and was willing to start from his point of view, and instinctively felt sorry for Liao Ruming's past experience - probably Liao Ruming ate one less apple when he was a child, Fu Pingli would feel distressed.

But for Liao Ruming who was young at that time, it didn't help.

What happened in the past can never be changed, and the situation at that time has been completely frozen...unless the professors of the Academia Sinica invent the technology of turning back time.

But Liao Ruming scoffed at this.

In any case, what happened in the past has created his current character.And Liao Ruming didn't bother to change himself.

He would rather let the current self live comfortably and smoothly.

Discussions about the past didn't take long.

When Liao Ruming and Fu Pingli came to the cafeteria, they were greeted by an unexpected farewell ceremony.The chef specially made some richer dishes—the material conditions in Doomsday are not very good, at most, he added a bowl of braised pork just for the two of them.

Their respective subordinates sent blessings one after another, and provided some items that are convenient for living in the wild.

The scene was joyful for a while.

However, what is hidden behind is a certain kind of worry and uneasiness that everyone has about Fu Pingli and Liao Ruming's disappearance.

…Actually, Liao Ruming himself did not expect that the reason he gave in order to quickly land the Floating Void City made people worry about one thing.

That is, what is Fu Pingli's life expectancy?How long can he live?Could it be that the floating city in the past few years has exhausted his vitality?

And now Liao Ruming and Fu Pingli left together, perhaps not for the so-called "finding the cause of the end", but just because Fu Pingli was about to die.

Perhaps Fu Pingli didn't want everyone to see him in a mess, so he chose to leave with his partner.

This speculation has been widely circulated in the floating city and human gathering places recently, and it is very popular.

However, Liao Ruming and Fu Pingli did not know about it.They have been busy packing their things and confirming their route recently, so how could they have the time to pay attention to the public opinion of the outside world—besides, in the apocalypse, what's the point of these gossips?

In this world, survival is the most important thing.

Without knowing it, Liao Ruming and Fu Pingli waved goodbye to the complicated eyes of everyone in the floating city, and then stepped into the vast wasteland.

On the first day in the wasteland, Liao Ruming once again felt the strangeness of the climate.

An hour ago it was still scorching sun and cloudless, and an hour later it was stormy, lightning and thunder.

Liao Ruming didn't want to travel in this kind of weather, so they found a safe and secluded place and pitched a tent, planning to wait until after this day.

Liao Ruming was bored and chatted with Fu Pingli: "Do you think they will listen to my ideas?"

This is a suggestion Liao Ruming made to human beings before leaving, hoping that they would conduct a large-scale survey and cleanup of the wasteland and other places on the planet before the climate changes.

Such a move is to avoid that when natural disasters come, human beings still have to face dangers from zombies, wild beasts, etc.

But Liao Ruming is not sure whether they will accept it.

Fu Pingli said: "Maybe."

However, after all, this needs to be discussed in the floating city and other gathering places.And whether they can make a quick decision... Liao Ruming found it difficult.

He lost interest, looked at Fu Pingli, and changed the subject: "Does your left knee still hurt?"
