Shi Xi was still smiling. Looking at Liu Wangxue's changing expressions, he knew what she was thinking without having to guess.
Liu Wangxue didn't know whether he should hold back his eagerness to explore. He hesitated for a while and asked, "How did you know?"
Shi Xi did not answer. Instead, she said: "Actually, the rebirth you think should not be called 'rebirth', but the adjustment of the wheel of fate."
Liu Wangxue blinked and failed to understand this sentence. He said: "What do you mean? What kind of wheel of fortune?"
Shi Xi did not explain. If he and Liu Wangxue hadn't kept looking at each other, Liu Wangxue would have thought that he was talking to himself. Said: "The wheel of fate in this world has been manipulated by an external force, and the fate of many people has changed as a result. The relationship between you and Brother Qingsong, the setbacks at work, and all the misfortunes you have encountered in life stem from this. It should be smooth sailing.”
He sneered when he said this, as if he was remembering someone he hated: "Fortunately, an old monk arrived in time and straightened the wheel before it fell apart. However, the old monk had been injured before and was injured again while casting the spell. Due to Xiao Xiao’s interference, although the roulette wheel was corrected, the time retrieval went wrong and failed to return to the original point.”
Liu Wangxue asked subconsciously. : "The origin?"
"It refers to the moment before the wheel of fortune is invaded by an external force." Shi Xi explained, and then said, "So, there is a deviation in the time of your rebirth. If time can be reversed, At the origin, you should be reborn on the day when the first semester of high school ends."
After hearing this, Liu Wangxue only had one feeling, lucky me! Fortunately, she was not reborn and returned to high school. Those hard days of studying to death, with her rotten attitude when she was first reborn, she absolutely did not believe that she could grit her teeth and persevere for three years, let alone be admitted to Hainan University in the end!
She thought so and told Shi Xi. Shi Xi listened with a smile and did not comment on this, but asked her: "Your first choice for the college entrance examination was not Haishi University, right?"
Liu Wangxue was just about to be surprised that he even knew about this. Then he thought about it. He knew everything about rebirth. It seemed that there was nothing surprising about this, so he replied: "No, I was the first person in the world back then." My first choice is Kyoto University.”
The playwriting direction of Kyoto City University’s Department of Literature is the top one in the field of screenwriting in China. Liu Wangxue set this goal in the first semester of high school, and spent the rest of the time studying sleepless nights just to get into the exam.
Shi Xi said: "If the wheel of fortune runs according to its normal trajectory, during the summer vacation of your first year of high school, you will meet Brother Qingsong in the film and television city you passed through during your trip, and you will also successfully pass the exam. Jingshi University, and then with Brother Qingsong..."
"Wait, wait," Liu Wangxue interrupted him and asked, "What do you mean I will see Xu Qingsong in that film and television city?"
During the summer vacation of her freshman year of high school, Liu Wangxue’s parents took her out for a trip. They heard that there was a local film and television city, and the family of three stopped by to have a look. Then they met a guy. As a young screenwriter, Liu Nanshan sat and chatted with people for a long time. The young screenwriter told a lot of interesting things about the industry. Liu Wangxue listened with interest and became interested in the screenwriting industry. After going back and checking the information, he decided to study playwriting in the future and set his goal for the college entrance examination.
Liu Wangxue then asked: "I will see you, does that mean Xu Qingsong was also there at that time?" He thought to himself, what college was Xu Qingsong in when he was a freshman in high school? Yes, sophomore year.
"He's not here," Shi Xi shook his head, "I mean, if the wheel of fortune runs according to its normal trajectory, Brother Qingsong will also travel there that summer vacation, and you will meet each other."< br>
After Shi Xi finished speaking, he gave her a Take some time to digest, and then elaborate: "You will meet each other, leave contact information at that time, and become friends. You will be admitted to Beijing University smoothly, and you will become alumni with Brother Qingsong, and you will fall in love and be together naturally. , when you graduate from college you We will start a family, live a happy life, have smooth and worry-free work, and will love each other until we grow old."
Liu Wangxue thought of Xu Qingsong's ex and made another calculation in her mind. When she graduated from college, Xu. Qingsong is already working. He graduated from graduate school. The first year after graduation: "He had just gone to work in Haishi at that time. Could it be that - no, he was focusing on his career at that time and had no idea of getting married."
"Don't ignore the prerequisites I mentioned." Shi Xi smiled.
Liu Wangxue understood what he was saying and smiled apologetically: "I didn't turn a corner all of a sudden." Why do you insist on working in Haishi? "
Liu Wangxue nodded: "He told me that Lumen Technology was one of the top game companies in the country at the time. When it comes to work, if you have the ability, you must join a good company. "
Shi Xi shook his head: "All choices are determined by fate. He doesn't want to get married because he meets the wrong person. He wants to go to Haishi because you are there."
Liu Wangxue looked like "You're kidding me": "How is that possible? He and I didn't know each other at all at that time, and we had never met before. Besides, he had a girlfriend at that time."
Shi Xi looked into her eyes and said: "Because you are destined. Even though the trajectory of the wheel of fortune is messed up, the thread between you that is pulled by fate has not been broken. It is trying to correct it. So like you after graduation Just like choosing to stay in Haishi, all your choices are the result of its attempts to correct it, in order to let you meet."
Liu Wang. Xue murmured: "But we didn't meet."
"Because it was not strong enough, and it broke later." Shi Xi closed his eyes in discomfort, "If the trajectory is messed up, there will be Other threads of destiny were taken over, and different forces competed, and both sides lost in the end."
Liu Wangxue's heart trembled inexplicably.
“Actually, you have passed each other countless times.” Shi Xi said, turning the cat’s eye ring on his hand. The emerald green cat’s eye stone was like a real cat’s eye, blinking as if it came to life. After a while, it was very playful.
It was only at this moment that Liu Wangxue noticed the ring on his hand, as if it appeared out of thin air. But in the next moment, she had no time to dwell on it or take a closer look, because the ring projected an image above the coffee table, as if it were a miniature projector.
Liu Wangxue leaned back in shock and raised her gaze. She found that the picture in front of her was her and Xu Qingsong.
The night we went to Xu Qingsong’s grandpa’s house for dinner, Liu Wangxue said that she and Wenxi had visited that neighborhood during the National Day of her sophomore year. Xu Qingsong said that he spent the National Day at his grandfather's house, and asked whether the two of them had met at that time. They both denied it at the time, and both felt that if they had met before, they would have no impression of each other.
But the scene in front of them was Liu Wangxue and Wenxi receiving the jujubes from Grandpa Sun. After thanking them and continuing to walk in, they were walking towards Xu Qingsong who was coming back and then passed each other. The scene changed to a pedestrian street not far from her grandpa's house. There were several scenes of her and Xu Qingsong walking towards each other and then passing each other. In two scenes, she and Xu Qingsong even stopped at the same stall to look at the stall owner. Small things for sale.
Following the scene, the scene turns to the sea city, with lights and shadows flickering. Just as Shi Xi said, we have met countless times without knowing...
Liu Wangxue's heart ached as she looked at it, and her tears fell uncontrollably: "How could it be? He and I...how could we have no impression of this?"
Shi Xi's fingers were on Touching the ring, the green cat's eyes blinked again, and the picture above the coffee table disappeared. He took out a tissue and handed it to Liu Wangxue, sighing softly: "The invading force manipulates the wheel of fate, and the purpose is to plunder..." He paused here, and then said: "You can understand that A force is preventing you from getting to know each other. Even if you meet, you will not leave each other alone. "
Watching Liu Wangxue wipe away her tears, Shi Xi continued: "Actually, the fate of the relationship between you has been successful. It should be said that it almost succeeded."< br>
Liu Wangxue immediately raised his head and looked at him with eyes full of tears.
Shi Xi said: "In November last year, he started watching your live broadcast. This was the last line of fate between you two. It made Brother Qingsong notice you, and then broke it. The latecomer between you and Mu Jingsheng.”
He pushed the entire tissue box towards Liu Wangxue and continued: "However, in - let's call it the previous life, in the timeline of the previous life, it strangled those who came after it, but it broke due to exhaustion of power. . You have lost the thread of destiny. Your life was shattered, so you encountered many misfortunes immediately."
Liu Wangxue felt pain in her heart again, and tears fell down, and all the pain caused by the Internet violence came again. It went through her mind in a flashback. It’s a lie in my heart that I don’t hate it. I feel like my life, that of my family and my friends, are all being manipulated by this so-called ‘external force’. Liu Wangxue asked Shi Xi: "Why are you telling me this?"
Originally, when she was reborn, her parents were still alive and her friends were not injured. She also successfully avoided those encounters. She was already relieved about her new life.
But now, what does Shi Xi want her to do by telling her this? Let her experience what it means to be "powerless" again?
Shi Xi said: "Please forgive me. I am not telling you this to get you to take revenge. You are a mortal and there is no way to compete with it."
Liu Wangxue was stunned and said in shock. : "Didn't you say that the wheel of fortune has been corrected? Has the power not disappeared yet?" Will she and the people around her be affected in the future?
Shi Xi smiled, as if everything was under control: "Don't worry, it's no longer the case. Besides, this is not your responsibility. I have an appointment with the old monk, and I will take care of it slowly. Clean.”
Liu Wangxue felt relieved a little.
Shi Xi seemed to be waiting for her to calm down, so she didn't speak again, and the room fell into silence for a while.
Liu Wangxue was indeed calming down and digesting these contents. One thing after his rebirth and before his rebirth flashed before his eyes like a marquee.
Suddenly, she realized that her previous life had not ended. If she followed that timeline, she didn’t know what would happen after she rolled down the hill. By the way, there is also Xu Qingsong. What is his fate in a place where she cannot see?
Liu Wangxue asked Shi Xi this way, and Shi Xi said: "The past and future never happened. As for Brother Qingsong, you better not know about it. In this life, you just love him well."
Liu Wangxue wanted to ask again, but Shi Xi added: "Actually, I didn't plan to tell you this. I wanted to tell Brother Qingsong. But I was very weak when I just woke up, what? I can't even see it. I'm not sure if he has the memory of that timeline. I only fully recovered a few days ago. I came to see you and Brother Qingsong today and wanted to tell him this, but the first time I saw you two. I immediately discovered that he had no memory of that timeline, but you did. After hesitating, I decided to come to you."
Liu Wangxue then thought of something and asked Shi Xi: "Since that's the case. When the wheel of fortune is set right, everyone in the so-called "this world" should have experienced a rebirth, right?"
Shi Xi nodded, and without waiting for Liu Wangxue to ask another question, he answered another doubt in her heart. He said: "It's just that not many people are reborn with memories. This is a generous gift given by fate, but if you can't catch it, you can't." It's hard to tell. So I have to come to you and tell you the whole story."
Holding the tissue wet with tears, Liu Wangxue became nervous instantly: "You mean, reborn with memories. Isn't it a good thing? Then something bad like this will happen. Where? My family or my friends?" She thought of Xu Qingsong and took a deep breath: "Or will it happen between me and Qingsong?" Shi Xi remained calm: "Don't worry. Nothing will happen as long as I'm here. I'm just telling you this just in case. Remember, if you encounter anything that cannot be explained by science in the future, you must contact me as soon as possible."
< br>Liu Wangxue nodded solemnly.
Shi Xi reminded her with a smile: "But there is no need to have too heavy a psychological burden, and don't be overwhelmed by everything."
Liu Wangxue finally burst into laughter, thinking that Shi Xi was probably afraid that he would be too nervous and would disturb him frequently. She also relaxed and joked: "Actually, I am generally quite big-hearted, and I definitely don't have the extreme thought of 'there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me.'"
Shi Xi also laughed out loud. , the hand with the ring on it reached into the lapel of the windbreaker, as if touching the waist of the suit casually, took out a small wooden box, opened it and put it in front of Liu Wangxue, the wood and glass collided and made a " There was a soft sound.
Liu Wangxue's eyes were not attracted by the contents of the box, but involuntarily followed the cat's eye stone on the ring. She felt that it was not an illusion, this emerald green cat's eye stone did look like a real cat's eye.
Shi Xi noticed it, and seemed to protect him stingily: "I can't give this to you, even if you like it."
Liu Wangxue smiled, thinking that he looked like this It's really childish and doesn't match his temperament, but it's inexplicably vivid: "No, I have a cat. I just think your gem is very similar to my cat's eyes."
< br>
"That's really fate. If I have time, I'll go take a look at it." Shi Xi said, and motioned her to look at the small box on the coffee table, "I made it myself. The birthday gift for Brother Qingsong is also for you. "
There is a pair of ropes in the box. Liu Wangxue holds it in his hand and looks at it. It is a cowhide rope with an irregular-shaped red stone strung on it. It should be a gemstone, with a cold luster. , but she hasn’t had much contact with it and doesn’t understand it. Next to the ruby is a small cluster of ginkgo leaves, made of gold and jade.
Liu Wangxue instantly understood the blessing sent by Shi Xi, and was moved indescribably: "A good match between gold and jade, a pair of apricots?"
"Apricot" is a homophonic word for "lucky" , represents happiness and luck.
Shi Xi clapped his hands, with approval in his eyes: "This is a good name, why didn't I think of it!"
Liu Wangxue: "..."
She put the rope back with a smile. Well, she was being sentimental, but she also sincerely thanked Shi Xi and thanked him.
Shi Xi seemed to have seen her mental activities and explained: "I didn't think much about it when I did it. You and Brother Qingsong must wear this to keep you safe. In addition-"
He seemed to be considering his words. Liu Wangxue waited for a while and saw that he still had no intention of speaking, so she asked: "What else? "
Shi Xi simply didn't think about it and said directly: "You have had surgery before, which will have a certain impact on your body, and there are some other factors - in short, you and Brother Qingsong are both familiar with this. Wear it for at least a year, and don’t take it off during this period. You will definitely have a healthy and smart baby in the future.”
She and Shi Ximan had only known each other for half a day, so Liu Wangxue was a little embarrassed to bring up this topic, but she still listened to what Shi Xi said, and she didn't know what else to say to him except thank you.
Shi Xi remained calm on his face: "I once agreed with Brother Qingsong that his future child will recognize me as his godfather, so this is also a gift from me to my future baby." After he finished speaking, he stood up: "Sister-in-law, please stay and I will go back."
Liu Wangxue stood up and saw him out.
Shi Xi suddenly turned around at the door, made a "shh" gesture to her, and said, "Sister-in-law, what I just told you is a secret."
Liu Wangxue He smiled and gave him an "OK" gesture.
After sending Shi Xi away, Liu Wangxue came back and sat on the sofa in daze for a while. Then he picked up the rope and looked at it carefully. Looking at it, he found that there seemed to be stars flowing in the ruby. She thought she was dazzled, so she blinked and looked again, but the galaxy was gone again.
"It's really dazzling." Liu Wangxue said to himself, and put the hand rope back, but his mood suddenly became brighter and returned to the state before Shi Xi came.
She looked up and saw the clock on the wall. More than forty minutes had passed. Remembering that the phone was still in the pocket of his down jacket, he got up and walked to the coat rack to send a message to Xu Qingsong and ask him why he wasn't back yet. (End of this chapter)
