Wu Yu had already gotten out of bed, washed up and sat down beside me, saying: "Thanks for your hard work. Just now... sorry." Our eyes met, my heart skipped a beat, I said: "What are you apologizing for? Hurry up and eat something."

  After dinner, we went out for a walk. Because of the approaching New Year, there were also many people in the town. We also went to that small shop last time, and the business was still very good. I saw the owner greeting customers, his wife with a big belly, smiling and collecting money.

  It suddenly dawned on him.

  Later, we stood in a forest beside the village, where starlight floated in the sky, leaves fell, and snow piled up. I asked: "A Yu, where were you at this time originally?"

  Wu Yu thought for a moment and said, "At this time last year, I was in Tibet."

  "What's the point of going to Tibet?" I asked.

  "He replied: 'I heard it's closest to heaven there.'"

  I didn't say anything.

  He brushed the cigarette ash onto the snowy ground, smiled and said: "Indeed, that place can calm one's mood. I was also there, finally calming down. But today, I'm a bit out of sorts again."

  He looked at me and I smiled without saying anything.

  I looked up at the stars in the sky: "I also want to go to Tibet."

  A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

  I said: "Ah Yu, after all this is over and we've rescued Wu Miao and your mother, will you take me to Tibet? I'm such a homebody, I've never been there before."

  He remained silent for a while and then said, "Alright, it's settled."

  My eyes are slightly warm. Really really, I like it so much. Also very... painful.

  But I don't want to tell him, can things really go as smoothly as we expected? On the day when time reversal ends, who knows where we two will be? He promised to remember me, but can such a thing be guaranteed?

  So that's why he has been refusing to hold my hand all along?

  Only I am so foolish, wanting something without caring about anything else?

  I've never been in touch with love. But this life, the first time I met, deeply met, yet from the start, couldn't see its future.

  Just now when he was asleep, I also made a phone call to dad and mom, desperately holding back tears so they wouldn't notice. But when I casually asked, what have we all been up to in the past six months? Mom said, that's just how it is, you're so busy with work, always playing around, find a reliable boyfriend soon!

  They were like mullet fish, without any unusual sensation. But I still don't remember anything.

  I really want to go back to my dad and mom, but I know that maybe at this point in time, I can only stay for 15 days. If the truth is not revealed, I have no idea where my fate will lead me. So I can only endure, telling them that I'll be back home soon, just like before. I must stay by Ou's side and face our shared future together.

  It's just the two of us.

  "About this time last year..." I said with a wry smile, "my memory is a complete blank."

  He was silent for a moment and then said: "My past has changed."

  Neither of us spoke. Why it was like this, just like our time why it would bend and flow backwards, still can't find the reason now. Secrets, maybe hidden in the underground space we fell into on the shore. We have to wait 15 days to go back again.

  "Look over there," Wu Yu said.

  I looked up and saw Professor Chen's house on the hillside. The new snow covered everything, I couldn't see clearly like Wu Yu, but I could still see that all three floors of the house were lit up, almost shining brightly. It was completely different from six months later, when it was dark and deserted.

  My heart suddenly shook violently. We had returned to six months ago, which meant that it was...

  Wu Yu's expression also became deep and vigilant: "The people in their family are still alive. If I remember correctly, the date of the fire was two days later."
