Chapter 6 One Month Ago

But strangely, Lu Zhen's life did not change at that time

This is the only explanation I can think of, Lu Zhen tapped his head

With a pop, Yin Xia opened another can of beer, and Lu Zhen quickly snatched it away: "What good does it do to drown your sorrows in alcohol? It's only been a short while since the breakup."

Lu Zhen gasped in surprise, realizing that he was wearing nothing at all, and felt as if something had happened between the two of them last night

Over the years, people have changed, let alone things

Lu Zhen walked forward to the bottom of the Tanghe Bridge, just as he heard the sound of someone throwing a can from above the bridge, and faintly he could also hear the sound of crying. His heart trembled, and he took large strides towards it.

"Just by looking at you, it's obvious." Lu Zhen hurriedly explained

Lu Zhen stood up and walked to the storeroom, looking at the worn mattress beside it, where the alarm clock was neatly placed on the bedside table

Uh... Lu Zhen felt a difficulty in breathing, a suffocating sensation suddenly surged up, and then everything went dark before he lost consciousness

At that time, Lu Zhen was still puzzled, but after checking everything, he found that nothing was missing from the shop. Initially, he thought he might have taken something out and forgotten about it, but now upon reflection...

Yin Xia handed Lu Zhen a can of beer: "Drink with me - picture - book can"

It has been several years since I last came here, and the changes are truly significant, Lu Zhen sighed inwardly

By the way, Lu Zhen remembered that a week ago he received news of Yin Xia's return. He was hiding behind a tree, secretly watching Yin Xia, and when she returned, he noticed that the alarm clock was placed on the counter

Lu Zhen finally came to his senses; it turned out that he had indeed returned to a month ago, precisely on the day when Yin Xia broke up with Xie Tianlin. She was here alone, drinking away her sorrows.

Lu Zhen patted his head, and just as he got up, he felt the blanket on his body being tugged by someone.

The inscription 'X20' on the medicine bottle clearly indicates that there should be 20 pills; however, Lu Zhen counted them after pouring them out and found only 14 pills, not counting the one he had already taken.

One night, while Lu Zhen was sound asleep, he suddenly felt as if his mouth had been sealed, making it impossible for him to breathe through his mouth or nose, and he abruptly woke up from his slumber

Lu Zhen shook the bottle lightly, and the sound of the pills rattling inside seemed somewhat hollow. It was only then that Lu Zhen noticed that the bottle had only been half full from the very beginning

At that moment, Lu Zhen suddenly noticed that something was missing from the counter

How to be on the road? Lu Zhen was surprised and got up, brushing off the dust from his body

"What are you doing here?" Lu Zhen bent down, intending to help Yin Xia up

It is Yin and Xia

The two individuals consumed the remaining beer, and Lu Zhen felt a sense of dizziness. He was unsure whether it was due to the alcohol or the presence of Yin Xia beside him, as his heart raced rapidly.

Yin Xia was already feeling a bit dazed and unable to cooperate with Lu Zhen. It took a great deal of effort, and fortunately, Lu Zhen was also sitting nearby, breathing heavily.

Hiss—

Only after Yin Xia had cried enough did she slowly push Lu Zhen away, sobbing as she wiped her tears: "After so many years without seeing each other, to let you see me like this upon our first meeting, I truly feel embarrassed"

These were all made by myself

Regardless of all this, Lu Zhen put away the bottle, so that he could take these medications during an asthma attack, and he hoped to return to the past just like last time

Lu Zhen picked up the alarm clock, which had a noticeable dent in the upper left corner, a result of it falling to the ground a week ago when Lu Zhen returned. ... However, Lu Zhen clearly remembered that he had been in a hurry at the time and had casually placed the alarm clock on the counter ...

Lu Zhen observed Yin Xia from a distance, and at the same time, Yin Xia also noticed Lu Zhen. Their eyes met, and Yin Xia appeared astonished, while Lu Zhen remained considerably calm.

Where is the alarm clock

It was the same night, but Lu Zhen found himself opening his eyes to see the starry sky, and a cool breeze quickly awakened him.

Seeing the eager gaze of Yin Xia, Lu Zhen could no longer care about so much, and in one go, he gulped down half a can, thinking to himself that he had also drunk quite a bit at the last class reunion, and nothing had happened then either

When Lu Zhen opened his eyes, he found himself lying in the storeroom. After checking the time, he realized that he had returned to the present and it was already the morning of the next day

Lu Zhen looked at her with compassion and gently held her in his arms

Lu Zhen? ! '' Yin Xia wiped the tears from her face and looked at Lu Zhen with a hint of embarrassment

This place is already quite far from the residential community where Lu Zhen lives, almost reaching the outskirts of the city. The only times I have been here were during school-organized outings for spring excursions, which happened twice.

Lu Zhen took a deep breath, realizing that while he was out, another version of himself had returned from the future, having experienced what he had gone through.

Clang.

All day long, Lu Zhen was anticipating an asthma attack, which was something unimaginable in the past. Who would look forward to the onset of such suffocating sensations, as if being held underwater, with the constant possibility of drowning.

Although it cannot be clearly explained from a physical perspective, Lu Zhen thought that perhaps one could only change the life of their past self without affecting the point in time to which they return.

"It's nothing." Lu Zhen scratched his head

Five pieces are missing, how could this happen? Lu Zhen is puzzled.

Suddenly struck by the truth of her innermost feelings, Yin Xia could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

Since Lu Zhen graduated, he has not come back here. One reason is to take care of the shop, and the other is due to health reasons; as he has aged, asthma attacks have become more frequent than before.

Seeing that Lu Zhen did not respond, Yin Xia felt something was amiss. She slowly opened her eyes and found Lu Zhen looking at her in surprise, which made her blush involuntarily: "What’s wrong?"

"I happened to pass by." Lu Zhen smiled awkwardly

Lu Zhen swallowed the tablet with saliva, closing his eyes to feel the asthma gradually easing. It was only when the fresh air once again entered through his mouth and nose that he opened his eyes

The dim streetlights illuminated the street and the library path, with only an occasional car speeding by. Lu Zhen was familiar with this place; it was not far ahead to Tanghe Bridge.

Lu Zhen hesitated for a moment, looking down at the beer, recalling the doctor's advice that anything that could increase heart rate and breathing should be avoided

Lu Zhen could not bring himself to leave, lowering his head to look at Yin Xia sitting on the bridge, with several empty cans scattered around and a plastic bag containing several unopened bottles.

Yin Xia looked at Lu Zhen with even more surprise, and after a long while, she said: "I just broke up, how did you know already?"

This ... ...

Lu Zhen heard someone speaking and suddenly turned around, only to see Yin Xia facing him, her long black hair cascading around her, contrasting with her snow-white skin, while the thin blanket barely covered her alluring body, outlining a perfect curve

Gulu

Lu Zhen realized that an asthma attack was occurring. Despite the unbearable chest tightness and the difficulty in obtaining oxygen, he felt a surge of joy in his heart. He hurriedly fished out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and poured a pill into his hand

Here it comes

Upon being asked this, Lu Zhen hurriedly took out his phone and saw that the date was February 7, exactly one month ago

What is the purpose of getting up so early

Yin Xia looked at Lu Zhen in surprise: "What brings you here?"
