Wild Deer Convenience Store

Chapter 26 Final Chapter Waiting for Dawn
The key belonging to the back door had already been gently taken off the key ring by Ai Weili, so when she took it out of her pocket, she didn't make any movement.

The lock was in good condition and the key slipped in as easily and noiselessly as through a tailored silk garment.

Ai Weili glanced back, Wei Luo was still in a deep sleep; if she opened the back door and left now, when Wei Luo woke up, he would probably never know when she left.

At this moment, Wei Luo has not yet "completely formed", and will still feel tired, and will still fall asleep deeply because he believes that he is letting the wind go.Regarding the last point, Ai Weili has just confirmed it.

As long as the key is turned, she can go.

Ai Weili imagined the scene when he carefully opened the back door, checked the situation, then went around the alley and hurried to drive.

She had only stayed in Wild Deer Town for three or four days, but the world outside the town was like a dream from her previous life, far away and blurred, making it hard to remember.

As long as she leaves here, she can continue to live peacefully, just like most people in this world.In the days when the wheels were rolling over her body, even though she occasionally felt it was difficult to breathe, one day she would get used to spending those days alone with her breath held.Man is originally a lonely and scattered individual, like dust, floating on the endless water waves.

Wild Deer Town, the convenience store, and Wei Luo are all things she can choose to put down at any time, because they have nothing to do with her in the first place.

After she was gone, it was none of her business whether Willow, as warm and bright as Willow, would gradually become part of the strangeness of the town, whether it would become a permanent accumulation of dust in the dead corners of the room.

Let's go.

Ai Weili turned the key and took the first step.

She didn't know when it started, but her vision was blurred, leaving only outlines and halos, just like the windshield of a car driving in a rainstorm, no matter how much you wipe it, the water will always be turbulent and cannot be wiped clean.

She kept wiping and shedding tears, and soon she felt light in her mind, and began to feel a lack of oxygen—she was top-heavy, and felt that she could no longer move forward, so she sat on the ground with a "gudong".

Someone moved slightly beside him, as if sitting up, and then Wero's voice sounded.

"Why didn't you leave?" she asked softly.

Ai Weili reluctantly opened his eyes, and saw Wei Luo who had just sat up from the ground in the field of vision that was rippling with tears.She didn't know when she woke up, maybe she woke up from crying; she didn't ask Ai Weili why he was crying, but asked again patiently: "Why are you back?"

Ai Weili turned his head and glanced at the direction of the back door.In fact, she had long lost sight of the key inserted into the back door.

"You know?" She managed to say these few words.

"I know." Willow whispered, "You stood at the back door for so long, I woke up, and you didn't notice."

"Then, why didn't you stop me?" Ai Weili asked in a daze.

"Then why didn't you push the door and go out?" Wei Luo asked without answering, "I thought you had decided to leave but why did you turn around and walk back while crying?"

This sentence seems to have pierced Ai Weili's last bit of self-control as an adult.She couldn't care about it anymore, she lowered her head, curled up, and began to cry, like a baby who could do nothing to the world, and could only resist it with the most tragic cry.

Because if she's gone, it means one thing: Willow is dead.

No matter what state Wei Luo is in at this time, whether he is really dead, or whether he wants to keep her behind; Ai Weili knows that as long as he walks out of this door, Wei Luo will be "dead" ——She wouldn't allow herself to think that she might have left Wero, who was alive and well, alone in the convenience store.

She was more afraid of a silent future where Willow was dead than she was left to face the unknown.

If she left, she would live forever in the cognition: in her life, there was a person like Wei Luo, and then she died again.

In contrast, Ai Weili would rather never have known her.

"Okay," in her staccato narration, Vero gently raised his hand, patted her on the shoulder a few times, as if he didn't know how to comfort a crying person, and whispered, "I understand, don't cry La."

Such a gentle and warm Wei Luo, there is nothing suspicious, nothing scary, making Ai Weili afraid of his own life, and it seems to be back to his mother.

No, in fact, when she was with her mother, she had never felt such tolerance and acceptance.

Why did Willow find her standing at the back door long ago, but didn't say anything, as if he knew why she was leaving?
"Because before I fell asleep, a voice told me that I was actually dead. It asked me why I had a pain in the neck, but I couldn't remember it." Willow replied softly, as if to say I accidentally lost my way. "That thin voice said that its 'mode' is to present the truth in a suspicious way, so I don't know whether to believe it or not? You heard it too?"

She pulled Ai Weili up from the floor and sat down, handed her a tissue, and then Wei Luo said: "I don't know if I'm really hurting you now. I just hoped that you could open the door. Go out with me, you refuse, I was really angry for a while. Why do I care so much about whether you open the door? I don’t know. I may be alive, I may be dead, I don’t know.”

She sat side by side with Ai Weili, and said: "After I left the convenience store, the people and scenery I saw were exactly the same as when I looked out of the convenience store an hour later. But What I didn’t realize at the time was that the same scene was playing out over and over again, as if the town outside was just a stage for us to see. Why didn’t I realize it sooner? Why did I just want you to open the door and go out?”

To say such a question, she must not be trying to harm herself, right?

"The reason why I want to stop you and not let you go sounds like the warning on the phone, but you didn't say that warning at all in the call you made to the past, didn't you? So, maybe even myself I didn't realize that I was just using this reason to keep you forever."

"What if that warning is true, but that voice just wants to separate us?" Ai Weili suddenly asked.

"Who can be sure?" Willow whispered, "If you think it's safer to leave my side, I'm not qualified, nor should I, force you to stay."

Amidst Ai Weili's sniffling sound, the store was silent for a while.

"Even if I really die, I won't 'hunt' you," Wei Luo said suddenly, "Even if you think the reason I said this is because of my 'pattern'."

"I, I would like to believe you." Ai Weili said, "Even if the reason why I believe you is because of your 'pattern'."

The two looked at each other, and couldn't help but smiled lightly.

It was already very late at night, and the shop gradually cooled down.In the small town outside the glass doors and windows, the same scene was still repeated, but they never looked out again.In the quiet and cold store, Wei Luo's body temperature dyed Ai Weili's shoulders warm.

"Then, let's wait for the dawn together," Ai Weili said in a low voice with a strong nasal voice, "When the sun rises, everything will be fine. Facing the sunshine, we will walk out of this store together when the time comes"

"And then, what are you going to do when it's daylight?" Willow asked.

"The first thing after seeing the sun is to ask where you are going." Ai Weili said seriously.

"Huh? Me?"

"That's right," Ai Weili thought for a while, and said, "Have you ever thought that if you violate the rules of the small town, if you continue to live, it may no longer be safe? Didn't you say that you A life without dissatisfaction, without joy, without the impetus to leave is like being trapped in an invisible spider's web, but there are no spiders to suck you, you just have to spend your life in the spider's web."

Wei Luo wanted to turn his head, but just as he moved, he took a light breath, as if he couldn't turn his head, he could only look forward.

She laughed and said, "You remember so clearly."

"Yes," Ai Weili didn't know why he remembered it so clearly, "What happened tonight is a 'spider'. Don't spend your life in the spider's web anymore, let's go together."

"Let's go together?" Wei Luo murmured dreamily. "Where are you going?"

"You can go anywhere." Ai Weili leaned his head on her shoulder and whispered: "I have a car, we can go on the road together, stop at a place we like, and leave when we get bored. Those who need money When the time comes, we can do odd jobs, save enough money, and continue on the road. Shall we go to a place near the sea next?"

"Oh, I can bartend, and I can get a part-time job at a beach bar," Werlow said softly. "We'll just hope the weather isn't sunny, because there won't be many customers. We can Running to the sea under a gray sky, playing in the water, digging for starfish, swimming"

Ai Weili seemed to have seen the back of her stepping into the waves.

"Oh, by the way, don't forget that before we leave, we need to call the convenience store." She suddenly remembered, slapped her forehead and said, "When I call this time, I will remind us in the past not to separate. Maybe the second call will replace the first call. Then you will come back in time to save me."

"I will," Wei Luo whispered, taking Ai Weili's hand. "You still have to wipe the table in the beach bar, how can you be left by Apan."

Ai Weili couldn't help laughing: "A future like wiping the table doesn't make people feel refreshed at all!"

"It's good that you weren't asked to mop the floor," Willow said.

"You're talking about the beach bar, where is the place to drag it?"

"That's right," Wei Luo was startled, and then laughed out loud—but the laughter just started, and she stopped as if she was in pain.

"What's wrong?" Ai Weili turned his head to look at her, and found a layer of sweat on Wei Luo's forehead.

"My neck hurts," Willow said, slowly dropping his head a little to the side. "It seems like I can't lift it up"

Ai Weili paused, and said: "It's okay, you ran and fought before, and you went through so much. If you twisted your neck unconsciously, it's normal."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and held down Wero's broken neck in the reflection, supporting her head with the jaws of a tiger. "Come on, I'll help you wait until dawn and go on the road, we can go to the doctor."

"It's a masseuse," Willow said, closing his eyes and slowly placing his weight on her hand. "I want a chiropractor who wants to see a doctor."

"Okay, okay, masseuse." Ai Weili smiled lightly, and sat down against her, and the two of them cuddled each other, falling into silence.

"I'm glad you're not gone," Willow murmured suddenly.

"Me too."

The dark night enveloped the world, and the convenience store was soaked in white light.

In this quiet corner that seemed to be cut off from the world, Ai Weili patiently waited for the dawn.
