Ten Days End

Qi Xia had a dream.

He dreamed that he was walking forward step by step in a long corridor.

There were countless wooden doors on both sides, which slowly opened with his footsteps.

The "zodiac signs" came out of the wooden doors one after another and stood by the door looking at him.

They neither spoke nor moved, but their pupils kept looking at Qi Xia.

Qi Xia's footsteps did not stop, and he just kept walking forward.

The heavy footsteps made a harsh sound on the rotten floor.

This road seemed to have no end.

"What's going on..." Qi Xia murmured weakly.

He felt that his eyes were blurry, and a rotten stench filled his nose.

If it was a dream, why could he smell the smell?

"Where am I?"

He looked at the zodiac signs around him blankly, but he couldn't stop his steps forward.

Is this road... coming to an end?

"Wake up."

A voice sounded in Qi Xia's ears.

"Guest! Wake up!"

Qi Xia opened his eyes suddenly and took a deep breath.

But after seeing the situation clearly, he leaned back on his seat silently, showing a relieved expression.

This reincarnation is over.

Qi Xia smiled bitterly. This experience was a great improvement compared to the last time.

After all, he died on the fourth day last time and on the fifth day this time.

How ridiculous?

He couldn't last ten days in a reincarnation cycle every ten days.

"What's wrong with you, young man? Are you taking drugs?!" The taxi driver next to him asked in a panic.

Qi Xia didn't answer, but just held his forehead and looked at the scene outside the window.

He was a little lost and his memory began to become confused.

He clearly remembered that he was being slaughtered by Xuanwu, but why did he see Yu Nian'an there?

Is it an illusion?

Or... is Yu Nian'an really in the "End of the World"?

The cool breeze with the unique smell of autumn blew into Qi Xia's nose, making him feel alive.

No matter how tight the strings in his mind were in the "Land of the End", he could rest today.

But where should he go?

Go to Jinan?

Go home?

If this is a world without Yu Nian'an, he would rather go back to the "Land of the End".

While he was lost in thought, the phone in his pocket vibrated.

Not many people knew Qi Xia's phone number, and it was probably a harassment call.

But when he picked up the phone, the note on it made him slowly widen his eyes.

"A"!

"An?!" Qi Xia was stunned for a moment, then carefully pressed the answer button.

"Hello?"

The other end of the phone asked, "Xia, are you there?"

It was Yu Nian'an's voice.

Her voice was always like water swept by the wind in autumn, which could make Qi Xia feel at ease instantly.

"I, I... I'm here?"

"What's wrong with you?" Yu Nian'an asked with a smile, "Have you arrived in Jinan?"

"Ah... I..." Qi Xia's pupils kept trembling, and his body was shaking slightly.

He only had one thought now -

That was to confirm whether he was crazy.

He swallowed his saliva and said slowly: "An, I don't know where I am now... I'll let the driver talk to you..."

Then he slowly handed the phone to the dark-skinned driver wearing sunglasses.

"Hey? What? Me?!" The driver was stunned, "Young man, I'm on the highway, it's dangerous for you to do this."

"Talk to her!" Qi Xia said with cold eyes.

"What...what are you doing?" The driver seemed to be frightened by Qi Xia, "Okay, okay, can't I answer it?"

The big man took the phone and shouted: "Hello! Where are you?"

"Hello, master, have you arrived in Jinan?"

"Oh, almost there, Man'er, we will get off the highway in ten minutes." The big man shouted.

"Then you must drive slowly and pay attention to safety."

"Okay, don't worry."

Qi Xia was looking at the big man in shock at this time.

He can talk to Yu Nian'an!

Yu Nian'an is not an illusion!

After hanging up the phone, the big man still said casually: "Hey, young man, is my wife checking up on me?"

Qi Xia looked at the phone with a complicated mood.

He paused for a long time, turned his head and said, "Master, let's go back."

"Ah?" The driver was stunned, "Return?"

"I'm not going to Jinan." Qi Xia shook his head, "I've been wrong before, I should never have gone to Jinan."

"Young man...you..."

"I'll pay the money, by the meter, not a penny less." Qi Xia looked out the window resolutely, he just wanted to go home and see Yu Nian'an immediately.

"Okay..."

The driver got off the bridge at the nearest highway exit, then turned and drove towards QingdaoGo.

Qi Xia said nothing on the way. He was afraid that taxis would line up on the highway like last time.

But what he didn't expect was that everything went very smoothly.

The car quickly drove back to Qingdao, and the driver sent Qi Xia back to the community.

Qi Xia paid the price shown on the meter, and then stood downstairs and looked up.

He was a little nervous.

Even if he participated in the prefecture-level game, he had never been so nervous.

Is Yu Nian'an at home?

Will there still be no trace of her existence in the house when he opened the door?

Qi Xia stood downstairs for a full five minutes, prepared for the worst in his heart, and then walked upstairs with heavy legs.

If he didn't prepare himself mentally, Qi Xia felt that he would completely collapse this time.

He had begun to accept that Yu Nian'an had disappeared, and he only hoped that fate would not play tricks on him again and again.

The height of the third floor was not high. Although Qi Xia wanted to delay, he still came to the door of the room.

He trembled as he took out the key from his pocket and inserted it into the door lock.

"Don't play tricks on me... I beg you." Qi Xia gritted his teeth and said, "You can torture me however you want, but you can't use Yu Nian'an to play tricks on me..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, and his movements slowly stopped.

He didn't have the courage to open the door at all.

When Qi Xia opened his eyes again, he found that his eyes were full of tears.

He was going to collapse.

If the ending was despair again, how could he survive as a human being?

"Click".

The door handle turned and opened by itself.

Yu Nian'an held a frying pan as a weapon and carefully poked his head out: "Who, who?"

Qi Xia stared at the girl in front of him, shocked beyond words.

"Xia?" Yu Nian'an was stunned for a moment, and the frying pan in his hand also dropped, "You scared me to death! I thought there was a thief, aren't you in Jinan?"

Qi Xia couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and rushed forward to hug Yu Nian'an.

Her voice, her smile, the smell of her hair, the warmth of her body.

Everything is real.

"An..." Qi Xia choked and said through gritted teeth, "It's great to see you."

Yu Nian'an was a little stunned. She reached out and gently stroked Qi Xia's head: "What's wrong, Xia, have you been having a hard time these days?"

"Yes... no no..." Qi Xia hugged Yu Nian'an with all her strength, "It's not hard to see you even if I go to hell."
