In the days when I was in a coma, Ma Bailong was always with her. But I was asleep, neither able to save her nor could I do anything for her.

It is actually very clear who should be the last person to be by her side.

"Let's go, there's nothing good to read." Finally, I reluctantly cheered up and gave the Book of the World to the confinement. After reading the book in my hand, I breathed a sigh of relief, and then silently accepted it.

I urged Xueqi and James to leave together. Fresh has been following us like a pet. He has not said a word for the past few days, and seemed to know that I was in a very low mood and shouldn't have been playing tricks at this time.

For a long time, I didn’t plan to go back. Even if I had to rebuild it, I didn’t plan to do it immediately. What’s more, I have been temporarily asked for leave and left the company, and I no longer want to stay in this city.

At noon, we got together for a meal and probably discussed our plans for the future.

"Well, let's do it. I still have two houses in Anhui. My father adopted me. In the past few days, we can stay in Anhui for a while, and then come back after the villa maintenance work is done." I made a decision at the dining table. "Wang Bin has now been in prison, and the hidden dangers of safety are gone. It will take a little time to do this kind of work, but it can be done slowly. As for Qiqi, the start time between you and Ma Bailong has been delayed for a few days, so you can't delay it anymore. You must go to the United States before the end of the month."

When Xueqi heard my words, she couldn't believe her ears looked at me. When I saw her eyes wide open, it was as if she had heard a ghost story.

"Dad, what are you talking about? Let me go to the United States at this time..."

I sighed and said, "Harvard has been urging you for several days. In a few days, your reporting time will be missed. You have to go there. This is an opportunity for you. Houses, this is only a few months, but your future is a few years, decades, or even a lifetime, and you cannot be delayed."

Xueqi frowned tightly, as if she couldn't believe that I would say such inappropriate words at this time, but Yuezi, Yuhui and James all knew what I meant.

Xueqi looked at Ma Bailong, and Ma Bailong also looked at Xueqi. Then Ma Bailong looked at me and said, "Uncle Yang, it is really not good to mention this at this time. You and Qiqi's home are like this. You should take the time to restore your home to its original state now. Harvard exams are not only available this year. We will have opportunities next year and the year after tomorrow. I have confidence in Xueqi and my own abilities. We will definitely pass the exam next year."

"No." This time, I firmly rejected Ma Bailong's words, looked at them seriously, and said, "Who knows what will happen next year. You two must seize this opportunity. There are confinement here, Yuhui and James, and we will handle the matter. When you get there, we will contact you and tell us how the maintenance site is going. When you sign up, you can come back to check it out on holidays. That's enough. Qiqi, right?"

But I didn't expect that Xueqi looked at me blankly, but her eyes seemed to be looking at a stranger.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" After staring at me for a while, Xueqi burst into tears. "How could you say such an understatement at this time? Dad, that's our home! Our home! Our home is burned out! Why do you still look like a ok person and ask me to go to the United States? Are you going to drive me away?"

Looking at Xue Qi's face full of tears, I was slightly stunned.

I frowned and said:

"What does it mean to drive you away? Qiqi, what do you mean? I have thought about it carefully. Things have reached this point, and it can be said to be at the worst. So we can't let it go any further. It's a good thing for you to go to the United States with Ma Bailong, right?"

Xueqi pouted her little mouth a little stubbornly, and looked at me unwillingly and said:

"You're just driving me away."

I stared at Xueqi for a long time. Xueqi was stared at by my eyes and was suddenly a little scared. She didn't dare to look directly at me. She lowered her head little by little, playing with her two fingers.

"You said you should drive you away, even if I drive you away. If there is no discussion on this matter, you must leave." I said to Xueqi word by word, "Or it will be too late." I gently patted Xueqi on the shoulder, then raised her chin, and slowly smiled at her:

"Qiqi, listen to your father, can you go to the United States? That place should be developed by you. You and Ma Bailong are both very talented. China is too small for you two."

Xueqi pursed her little mouth tightly, then frowned with her faint eyebrows, looked at me and said:

"Dad, have you forgotten what we said before?"

"What did you say before?" I looked at Xueqi with some difficulty, and there was a thick fog in my mind, but suddenly, I figured it out.

Indeed, I had agreed to Xueqi in person before. Xueqi also made requests.

The promise I failed to fulfill to Xueqi.

If I didn't find a girlfriend, Xueqi would not leave my promise.

Yes, this is what Xueqi and I agreed with her. For me, I almost forgot the whole agreement in just a few days, but for Xueqi, this is a promise that is of great significance to her and the only excuse she can stay.

I looked at Yuhui who was sitting beside drinking orange juice. There was no expression on her face. Seeing my gaze, she lowered her eyebrows slightly, looked at the empty plate on the table, without saying a word.

And at this moment, Yuhui suddenly did something unexpected to me. This matter was too sudden and too unexpected, so I could not even stop her.

Yuhui took out her cell phone, pressed a phone call with her thumb at an astonishing speed, and then said lightly without waiting for the other person to ask:

"Sorry. Let's break up. That's it."

Then Yuhui hung up the phone, put away her phone, and looked at Xueqi and me quietly. There was no emotional fluctuation in her eyes, as if she had just answered a mobile phone call.

Everyone was stunned.

Three simple sentences, without any extraneousness, Yuhui broke up with a boyfriend who was dating. She looked at Xueqi and me like nothing happened, and Xueqi was also frightened by her actions.

But soon, Xueqi stomped her feet angrily, stood up from her seat, and said:

"Sister Yuhui, what are you doing? Are you joining forces with your father to bully me?"

Xueqi picked up the wet wipes on her hand, wiped her mouth, then looked at me angrily and said:

"Dad, I'm full, I'll leave first, I'll go to the supermarket to buy something. Also, Dad, Sister Yuhui doesn't count! She deliberately cooperates with you in acting!"

As he said that, Xueqi pouted and walked outside without looking back. Ma Bailong looked at me, then looked at Xueqi, and then said that he would go together, and then went out with Xueqi. James looked at Ma Bailong, and for their safety reasons, they followed them out together, leaving me, Yuezi and Yuhui sitting in their original position.

Yuhui looked at me quietly, her eyes like two diamonds embedded in her eye sockets. She lowered her head slightly and looked at her phone, but she didn't look at me, but I knew she actually had no intention of playing with her phone because her fingers were pressing randomly.

In the end, I didn’t speak for a long time. Finally, I spoke first:

"Yu Hui, what do you mean?"

Yuhui didn't look up and said:

"Try it."

"What do you mean to try? What do you try? Yuhui, that's your boyfriend, how can you be so casual?!" I was so angry that I raised my tone.

Yuhui didn't look up and said:

"That's just a regular mobile phone..."

I was stunned, but Yuezi giggled on the side, as if laughing at me as if I was laughing at me.

I didn't know how to answer Yuhui, so I had to frown and calm down and say:

"Then you can't know so casually? I really thought you were going to call... to your boyfriend."

Yuhui still didn't look up, just lowered her head and played with her phone. I had no other way.

"There's no time." Yuhui said softly, her voice was very soft, like a piece of white paper gently rubbing against the back of my hand, "You have to try anything."

As she said that, she stopped playing with her phone, raised her head again, her eyes facing me like water, and repeated:

“No time.”

When I said this for the first time, I didn’t think it had any deep meaning, but when Yuhui said this for the second time, I was thinking about it in my mind, as if I had hit a bell, and suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.

When I settled the bill, walked out of the restaurant, and walked outside, I looked at the sky with a worried face.

I don’t know when it started, the double tetrahedron in the sky was as if it were the ceiling, and I could not see the clouds in the sky at all. The object in the sky seemed to fall at any time, flattening the streets, houses and the whole world.

Yu Hui is right, there is really no time left.

Just a few days ago, this sense of depression was not so strong, but now, this sense of depression suddenly became stronger. I didn't even dare to look up at the sky. It was a completely doomsday scene, as if a knife was placed on my head and would fall down at any time.

However, I have removed the confinement, Yuhui, Frexiu, and James from the team list. They should not be able to see the terrible scene in the sky. I am the only one who can see this scene.

I felt that my breathing was starting to become difficult. I could imagine that in the next two days, if I did nothing, the sky above my head would crush everything in the world, including this city where I have lived for more than 30 years, including Xueqi, Confinement, Yuhui, and others, all those who I loved or loved me would be buried with me.

There is no time.

There is really no time.

My heart was like a rapidly rotating car motor, and it began to accelerate and start. I stood on the gloomy street, watching people coming and going, watching cars crisscrossing at intersections, turning on the headlights, like a flowing galaxy, an indescribable sense of loneliness enveloped my heart.

It's like I'm the only one left in the world.

It's like I'm isolated from the whole world.

I have to do something.

No matter what it is, I want to try it.

Just like Yuhui said, you have to try everything. This is not for myself, but for everyone. I don’t have the ability to save the whole world, nor for that idea. I just want to live like the past, like an ordinary person. Every night when I go home, I cook with Xueqi, cook grilled fish, stir-fry, and then accompany a bowl of ordinary seaweed soup. The two of them scrambled to watch TV while fighting for the remote control.

Such a life is enough for me, happy enough. I will never have more thoughts.

"Tell me when is the confinement period now?" I asked in a low voice.

"It's 3:50 p.m. on the 27th... Brother, what are you going to do?" Yuezi opened her cell phone and looked at it, and told me the time.

"Go to a place and meet someone, you can go to rent a house and wait for me first. I will go back if I don't take much time." I took a deep breath and tried to make my mind clearer.

"It's coming again... It's time. Brother, who else do you want to see?" Yuezi said resentfully, "So much has happened. Brother, you should know that it is safest for us to be together, but you are still acting alone. What are you doing?"

I looked at the confinement zi with some guilt and said, "Confinement zi, this time I promise it's the last time. This time I promise I won't force myself to come back if I go... It's better if you and Yuhui don't come. Don't worry... This person is an old acquaintance."

It is impossible for me to take my confinement period to see Tang Mengyan. Even if I think there is nothing, Tang Mengyan will not be happy. This time, only if I don’t go to confinement period, can there be a possibility of success in the front line.

"Is it her?" Yuezi hugged her chest and looked at me quietly, her lips pursed into a line.

Confinement is really smart. No matter what I am thinking, she can tell at first glance.

I sighed, smiled helplessly, and said:

"You are really smart in confinement, do you know? I am really proud of having a sister like you, but I am also afraid."

When Yuezi heard my words, her face did not change much, but it was obvious that she was not in a good mood. She just hugged her chest and said:

"If you want to go, just go. Brother."

When Yuezi said this, her tone was a bit tough, but it could be seen that she did think about it before saying that Yuezi knew what I was going to do, and she also knew that my personality was the type that once she figured out something, the gods could not stop her from coming to earth. No matter how much she persuaded me, it would be useless.

"But, brother, you have to promise me something." Yuezi suddenly said.

The wind suddenly started fighting.
