[Crossing] Beacon Fire Dragon Line

A piece of blank paper was torn into small strips, and the numbers from one to six were written on them, and rolled into six small paper balls.Put it in the palm of your hand and shake it, and throw it on the table like a dice.The three who were close to him stayed in front of him, and the three who were close to Qi Han swept over to him.

"Every time you open one, compare the size. Whoever has the larger number wins. You can ask the other party a question, and the other party must answer." Sheng Rui said in a tone of announcing the rules of the game, leaving no room for Qi Han to refuse.

As a profiteer who has studied how to deal with people for many years, Sheng Rui knows that everyone has a strong desire to confide in their hearts.Qi Han's reticence is not because he really has nothing to say, but because the way others open him up is wrong.

The topic provoked by Sheng Rui alone cannot be maintained, just like the love that only one party takes the initiative will not last long.Only by getting Qi Han to engage in the conversation with a relatively positive attitude can it be possible to pry open his shell.

It could be seen that Qi Han didn't have much enthusiasm for this proposal.Give him a rule, though, and he'll follow it automatically.

Open the first ball of paper, Sheng Rui's number is big.

"Why did you keep ignoring me when I was in Rome?" he asked with simple questions.

"Because I don't want to lie to you." If they talked to each other, they might ask each other about their life experiences, but he couldn't tell the truth at that time.

Sheng Rui nodded and opened the second ball of paper.It's his number again.

"Then why did you take me to Florence later?"

The answer was still only a few short words: "Because I am worried."

He looked into Qi Han's eyes, who lowered his gaze a little helplessly.

He really wanted to ask knowingly: What are you worried about?

But if you keep asking like this now, it will probably only make him shut up tighter.

For the third time, Qi Han won.

He was obviously not used to asking people questions, and he was thinking hard.Just saw the Italian dictionary next to me, and caught a question: "Why do you speak Italian and German?"

"Oh, this." Sheng Rui leaned back in the chair and changed to a more relaxed sitting posture, so as to subconsciously convey a positive conversation atmosphere.He used to do this when talking to employees, so that the other party gradually let go of their guards and confessed everything in their hearts.

"I took this as an elective when I was in college. I was studying business, and I think it would be more useful to learn a few more foreign languages. I learned French and German first, and I planned to take the Italian test while I was in good shape." He said He took a long breath, "Thinking about it now, I really shouldn't have given up so easily for such a stupid reason, but the current level is like this bird."

"Did something happen?" Qi Han was aroused with curiosity, but he didn't realize that this was already the second question.

Of course Sheng Rui would not point this out.He continued the topic without any trace: "Actually, the reason is very trivial, but it left me with a huge~~~big psychological trauma. One day in class, the teacher asked us to take turns translating Shakespeare's sonnets. The one that was my turn had a line like this: 'Iamaworthless boat'. I said," he paused a little, "Sonou una vile porchètta."

(The original sentence means "I am a humble boat", what Sheng Rui said is "I am a despicable roast suckling pig". Barchètta small boat, porchètta roast suckling pig. "vile" has both humble and useless meanings , also means despicable and shameless)

"...This is your huge psychological trauma??"

"You don't understand at all!" Sheng Rui was heartbroken, "The gang of grandchildren in the class kept calling me that until graduation! I am such a cool, handsome and crazy man! It's okay to be a roast suckling pig, or a despicable roast milk Pig! Damn!"

"..."

"At that time, I decided that I would never learn Italian again. Of course, I don't think so now. I plan to pick it up again. After all, I may have to live here forever."

"Then, leave this to you." Qi Han touched the cover of the thick dictionary, "I don't need it anymore."

This sentence reminded Sheng Rui of the upcoming parting.He was noncommittal, gathered the six balls of paper and shook them again.This round, he wanted to ask some questions that could not be answered in a few words, and slowly turned Qi Han from the listening mode to the talking mode.

Opening the first ball of paper, it was time for him to ask questions again.

He had already prepared a question that would lead to his next question.

"Why did I cross over all of a sudden?" He remembered that in the stories Sheng Qinglan read, the reasons for the main character's crossing were more or less unusual, such as being hit by a car, being squeezed by a door, touching a high-voltage line, etc. .But without warning, he stepped forward to liberation.

I thought Qi Han would say a bunch of magical nouns, but he made a simple analogy: "Do you know that the screen of a movie is frame by frame?"

"I know. Do you want to say that time and space are also discontinuous in this way? I will travel through because my next frame is wrongly connected?"

"Yes. That's the simplest explanation."

"Not a simple explanation?"

"The continuity of time and space is a linear linked list, each time unit is a node, the data field stores your current state collection, and the variables in the pointer field determine your state in the next time unit..."

"...I decided to accept the first explanation." Sheng Rui touched his chin, "So, I was originally a character in a romance drama, and you were a character in a sci-fi drama, but now they are all edited into it. A World War II drama?"

"you can say it this way."

What a quality life.

"Then why did I time travel?"

"..." Qi Han suddenly lowered his gaze, like a child who has done something wrong.

"Is this problem difficult to explain? What bad things have you done?"

"I didn't do it on purpose." Qi Han shook his head in a panic, and tried to explain: there was a small probability event in the previous experiment. During the transition of a certain object, there may be a mirror image movement of a similar object.To put it more simply, these two things are very compatible and attract each other.

"So, I'm the object similar to you? But we're not very similar." Sheng Rui asked.

"This is a bit like a topologically equivalent graph. It doesn't necessarily look alike, but the structure is the same."

"Then what do you think we have the same structure?" Sheng Rui propped up his chest with one hand, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Qi Han didn't know that he was teasing him, and shook his head seriously: "I don't know either. However, you may not believe it. Before going to Rome, I had a premonition that there would be something to gain."

"Oh? In the end, I got a me. Are you disappointed?"

"No. Before I met you, I thought about what it would be like if such a person really existed. I was very happy when I found out that it was you."

"why?"

"You are very much like the kind of person I most want to be, living a very..." He shook his head, looking for the right words: "...very rich."

"rich?"

"I mean, you do a lot of fun stuff and have fun. Well, like painting."

"That's nothing special, anyone can do it."

"It's not that simple. I can do it, but they don't become a part of me, they don't make me any happier. It's like..." He thought for a while, "I was colorblind when I was a kid. I can copy yours I can draw colors like you, but I can't see it. But you can see it, and I will know that I have drawn something beautiful when I see your appearance." He sighed softly, "Ray, don't lose that talent. Because I am boring myself, I know that being able to live an interesting life is a blessing to others.”

When he said these words, there was a gentle light in Qi Han's lake-like emerald green pupils, like the setting sun beating on the lake.Sheng Rui had never seen this expression before, and he couldn't help staring at his face.

Qi Han seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and his expression darkened again: "I'm sorry. You are in this state because of me. I have never dared to tell you because I was afraid that you would be angry."

Sheng Rui considered for a moment, then responded:

"About this matter, I have always had some thoughts. I think I should let you know.

"The day I crossed was April NO.30, which happened to be my birthday. When I was young, an accident happened on this day. Since then, every time I come to this day, I will repeatedly think about everything at that time, thinking Figure out exactly why this is happening.

"The more I think about it, the more I feel that maybe it was inevitable. Everything that happened that day was aimed at getting there, and there was no other result. Even if I avoided all risks in advance, It also always happens in some form.

"I think it's probably the same with time travel. Regardless of what you did or not, my original life would have changed at that moment anyway. I went there on that day just to meet you, for no other reason, and Nothing else came of it. So you owe me nothing. Some things happen, in whatever form."

Perhaps, the same reason can also explain some other things, such as certain inexplicable emotions.Because it is you, because it is me.that is it.

Qi Han lowered his head deeply, Sheng Rui couldn't understand his expression at the moment.But there is another question that must be asked, and it must be said now.

"I have one last question. This question is very important. You must think about it before answering me."

Sheng Rui said so, and held Qi Han's hand on the table: "Are you willing to live with me?"
