i was my mistake

"So hurry up."

Ye Chen scratched his head, finally he couldn't resist the temptation to go home with the beautiful girl at night.

"Cough—! Are you okay?"

"Stop talking nonsense, okay?" Wan Qing glared at him angrily, "You are more like a mother-in-law than I remember."

"Cut... If you are really me, aren't you scolding yourself if you scold me?"

"Yes."

"..."

Ye Chen once again had nothing to say.

He straddled onto the bicycle, saw Wan Qing sitting firmly on the back seat behind him, and stepped on the pedal unsteadily.

The colorful neon lights were left behind, and Wan Qing saw one baked sweet potato stall after another, row after row of stalls, and the rolling shutters that were being closed.

The city's roads were more congested than she remembered.

139 Yinqi Road.

Here is that apartment.

At this time, it looks so outstanding, with brand new walls, a full eight-story building, and a movie theater next to it, where couples seem to come and go often.

It's close to the city center.

Bustling like a city that never sleeps.

However, places other than this street are gradually getting darker, and the invisible night has divided the same city into two parts.

Wan Qing looked at this 'tall' building, but what appeared in her mind was the one she saw more than ten years later—it was dilapidated at that time, and almost all the surrounding buildings were taller than it. It looks like a tall dwarf, dark and shabby, a shadow in the bustling city, long gone from its former glory.

In fact, there seems to be no difference between the future and the present, but the surrounding darkness makes it extraordinarily bright.

- Nothing lasts forever.

No matter how gorgeous things are, they are just a moment in eternity, a moment, as short as the bloom of fireworks.

……

(three)

Wan Qing lived on the top floor of the apartment—room [-].

From Wan Qing's point of view, the apartment is already very large: a separate bathroom, plus a small living room, next to it is a smaller bedroom.

There was very little furniture in it, hardly any except what was necessary.

The kitchen is next to the bathroom, like a battery tucked into a battery compartment.

The only thing worthy of praise is the whole row of windows in the living room.

Although there are not floor-to-ceiling windows, but because there are enough, the lighting is exceptionally good.

The lights of luxury hotels and high-rise buildings in the distance can shine here.

The eighth floor is high enough in this day and age.

"Wow, what a wide field of vision!"

"Promise." Wan Qing smiled lightly, but she couldn't stop looking down.

She also lived in higher apartments.

But such a picture of not many tall buildings but still bustling, for a long time, only existed in her memory.

I really hope that the past time will stop here and not move forward.

In many cases, moving forward may not necessarily lead to good things.

——Thinking like this, she suddenly spit towards the downstairs very impolitely.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

She ignored him, and just looked around on her own, looking at this apartment room, which she also came to for the first time.

In fact, they are all ordinary, and the only thing that is considered unusual is probably the bed in the bedroom—that guy is actually round.

She had never slept in a bed like this in her life.

I tried to lie down on it, and my body bounced a few times—it was unexpectedly comfortable.

Ye Chen didn't dare to go into the bedroom, but stood at the door and asked with some embarrassment: "Isn't it...do you have something to say?"

……

(four)

On the simple coffee table in the living room, there were two cans of Coke.

This is the last drink left in the fridge.

In this era, for ordinary people, it is a luxury.

Ye Chen didn't even bother to look at Wan Qing a few more times, and drank the Coke in a 'gurgling' manner. The stimulation of the carbon dioxide on his taste buds made him unable to help but let out a 'huh' in comfort.

"Reconfirm the date, what month is it now?" Wan Qing asked calmly, taking a sip of Coke with a look of looking at a bumpkin.

"Ah, August seventeenth..."

"[-], August [-]th, the first thing, my mother, your mother, will pass away before the end of this month, and my... our father will also pass away after my mother dies Suicide by jumping off a building."

"Oh... um." Ye Chen nodded lightly, and didn't ask 'really or not' again.

"You don't have to believe me, but if you can't restore the past, you will bear the consequences yourself."

"Then what should we do?"

"If mom doesn't die, dad may not have any major problems, but mom may die from a wound infection. We have to ask the doctor to do a strict examination on her, so maybe we can avoid something."

"Disinfection?"

"That's what it means."

"The first step is to finish this matter first, and dad will stay with mom in the hospital these days, and probably won't come back."

"Then it doesn't matter if I don't go home?"

Wan Qing showed a narrow and sarcastic smile: "Do you want to sleep with me?"

Ye Chen, who was drinking Coke, suddenly coughed from choking.

"Look at your prospects, forget it, you don't have the chance to sleep with a real woman in this life, just spend the night here today - do you want to take a bath with me?"

"Pfft!" This time, Ye Chen directly sprayed out the Coke that he hadn't had time to swallow.

In this relatively conservative age, this sentence is too shocking.

You know, in reality, the two just met today...

"Let's go, don't you always want to see it?"

"No, don't you need it?"

"Anyway, I am you, and you are me. Let yourself see what the relationship is." Wan Qing grabbed his arm, "This is called fat water not flowing to outsiders."

"Ha ha?"

"Hurry up, you don't even want to throw yourself into your arms, do you? Are you starting to be Liu Xiahui at this time?"

"What, what and what? What is Liu Xiahui?"

"You still don't understand." Wan Qing forcefully pulled him up, "Let's go, come take a shower with me."

"Stop it, Miss Qing..."

Wan Qing raised her brows: "Slick tongue, lustful but not courageous, let you watch it and you wouldn't dare to watch it? Today I insist on letting you watch it, and you have to give me a bath."

"Rub, rub, scrub!?"

……

5. Shared bath

Yinkong Apartment, one of the newly built apartments in this era.

In this era when everyone lives in three-to-four-story dormitory buildings, or peasant houses in the countryside, apartments with eight or nine floors or even higher have become places that many people yearn for.

Even Wan Qing herself remembered that there were a few nights when she was in junior high school, she secretly came to the apartment alone, just to experience the feeling of taking the elevator.

I just sat from the first floor to the top floor, and then sat back from the top floor to the first floor, until I was discovered by the security uncle with a fierce face, and then I fled out of the alley in a panic.

And Yinkong Apartment is indeed the most "advanced" apartment in this city in this era. Not only does the bedroom have a window air conditioner, but even the bathroom has a toilet. Single bathtub.

This era does not seem to be as backward as I remember.

Thinking about it carefully, the rent on the invoice is not cheap, it's just that she is from the future and is used to such amounts.

The frosted glass sliding door has been pushed open, but it seems like there is an invisible wall separating Wan Qing from Ye Chen.

She is inside and he is outside.

"Come in."

"No... really, really want to go in?"

"Well, come in, let me see how the development is going." Wan Qing smiled playfully, seeing that Ye Chen was really shy, but showed a bit of disgust, "What's there to be shy about? The secondary expression is so disgusting, do you really think I will be interested in another self?"

"what……"

Wan Qing pointed to the notice board pasted on the door of the bathroom, which clearly stated the daily hot water supply time.

Although this is an apartment that doesn't look too backward in every way, it is still in the model of a public bathroom or a hotel - hot water is supplied at a centralized time, and there is no more after the time is exceeded.

At the end of August, although there is still a bit of summer heat, the night after the sun sets is still a bit cool.

Of course, it is not impossible to take a cold shower, but since there is some enjoyment, why waste it.

"It's up to you if you want to take a cold shower."

"Then, let me take a cold shower." Ye Chen nodded vigorously as if saved.

Although, as a family member of a worker, he can go to the factory bathroom to take a bath for free, but it is a bit far away after all, so when he can usually stand a cold shower, he usually doesn't bother to go to the bathroom to enjoy hot water.

"No, you have to take a hot bath today."

"Then, why don't you wash up quickly?"

For some reason, she suddenly smiled, but there was no warmth in the smile: "The more you don't want to wash with me, the more I want you to wash with me."

"why……"

"Cultivate you to get used to all this, so that you won't even be able to find a girlfriend in the future."

"But...this kind, this kind of bathing together, at least after marriage...?"

Wan Qing was really happy, she was amused by Ye Chen's naive thoughts, and she was also amused by her own naive thoughts before.

"Let me tell you, in this world, the more women a man has, the more he likes them. An ignorant virgin will always show timidity. Once he shows timidity, people will alienate you."

"Isn't it? Isn't it like this?"

"That's it. Women are Mu Qiang's stuff." Wan Qing narrowed her eyes, her smile was a bit sarcasm, but this time she wasn't mocking Ye Chen, "When you are strong enough, they will be like a little bird." Yiren, when you were ordinary or even weak, they were bitches, beasts, and bastards—they would attack you, hurt you, and slander you for their own benefit. You are generous, even sometimes even if you did nothing wrong, you still have to apologize and lose money, just because they have a...!"

Such vicious words came out of such a beautiful mouth, so that Ye Chen felt a little dazed.

"Aren't you either..."

"I'm the future you, hehe... At least I won't deceive you. As for other women, just treat them as toys, don't give any real feelings, they will like you more instead."

"how is this possible?"

"That's it, that's a woman."

"You... the future me, was abandoned by a woman?"

"What are you thinking, you haven't even had a girlfriend."

"It's because you can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour..." Ye Chen curled his lips, "I still don't think I will become like you in the future, you, you sometimes feel, feel... ah, I didn't mean to want that , just can't find a suitable adjective..."

"Resentful, huh?"
