Chapter 47 Let's go take pictures!
Qiuhe was completely baffled by the words in his mind. The voice was clearly Yu Rou's, but something felt off because it sounded somewhat young, and Yu Rou was currently sleeping in his arms.
Whose voice is that? It's only 4 o'clock. Winter nights fall quickly, but it's not completely dark yet; the sun is almost setting. Yu Rou is probably just tired from playing.
Qiuhe recalled the voice from earlier, trying to hear every word Yu Rou spoke, but Yu Rou was asleep. Qiuhe moved her hands; she could now control this body. "Can I control this body?"
Qiuhe spoke softly and casually, realizing that she could now control her speech, but she didn't know what she should do. She wanted to go back and check on the trash can again.
But then, thinking back on her past experiences, Qiuhe guessed that whenever she encountered something she couldn't accept, she would be redirected, and not in a retrospective way, but in a forward-moving way.
Thinking about this, it seemed she couldn't go back to check the trash can. Qiuhe carefully placed Yurou on the bed and gently covered her with a blanket. It was already 4 o'clock, and it seemed there was nothing else she could do.
Although her mind was full of questions—why did she seem to know Yu Rou, yet not really? Who was that figure in the movie theater yesterday? And was the one in the library just a hallucination?
And why does he always feel like something's missing from his phone? Qiuhe is completely unaware of anything right now, thinking of that phrase in his mind, "Be a good girl and stay with Yurou."
"The phrase 'good boy' at the beginning of this sentence means, simply put, that I should be a good boy. It doesn't use absolute or mandatory terms."
"So you mean I can go against the grain, but something might happen? But when we came back from the movie theater, Yu Rou was the one pulling me to go back."
"But in the end, time still moved forward. That situation should be considered following Yu Rou's orders, so why did it still move forward? Could there have been some change before that incident?"
Qiuhe kept thinking about these things, and then suddenly a thought struck him: "On the way home from the movie theater with Yurou, I think I had the idea of taking a taxi, but I don't think I actually did it."
"Could it be that my body wanted to do that back then, but I changed it in the end?" Qiuhe felt that this explained it. In other words, under certain circumstances, Qiuhe could control this body, and even had more control than the body itself.
Finally, the phrase that had been etched in Qiuhe's mind came back to her (obediently follow your body). With that thought, Qiuhe relaxed her mind, and a few seconds later, she truly moved instinctively.
Her body slowly lay down on the bed, hugged Yu Rou, and finally closed her eyes to fall asleep. "Is this what this body wants to do now?" Time quickly passed, and it was the morning of the fourth day.
Yu Rou felt the sunlight and slowly opened her eyes, only to find Qiu He holding her. Looking at Qiu He sleeping right in front of her, Yu Rou smiled happily, then reached out and pinched Qiu He's cheeks.
After getting up and covering Qiuhe with a blanket, Yu Rou left the room. Qiuhe woke up as soon as Yu Rou left, but just like last time, while her body was awake, her mind was still asleep.
Qiuhe sat quietly on the bed. After a while, he slowly regained consciousness. Seeing that he was the only one sitting on the bed, he was a little confused, wondering where Yu Rou had gone.
But then Yu Rou returned to the room door. When Qiu He saw Yu Rou, he noticed that her hair had changed again. The first time he saw her, she had short, light blue hair and a very illogical big blue ahoge (cowlick) on her head. Just a couple of days ago, she had always had dark brown pigtails.
Today, he had a blue single ponytail with bangs and two small blue braids on either side. Qiuhe wondered if it was a wig.
As soon as Yu Rou peeked in, she saw Qiu He sitting quietly on the bed, staring at the door as if waiting for her. Yu Rou then walked to the bedside and hugged Qiu He, saying, "I'm sorry to have kept my darling Qiu He waiting."
After saying that, Yu Rou took Qiu He's hand and went downstairs. Once downstairs, Yu Rou asked Qiu He, "Qiu He, is there anywhere you particularly want to go? I'm usually the one taking Qiu He out to play. Is there anywhere Qiu He wants to go?"
Qiuhe was also a little confused after hearing this. This was asking him to make a decision, but the words he heard in his mind last night said to listen to Yu Rou. But now Yu Rou was asking him to make a decision. Was this also a kind of thing Yu Rou said?
Qiuhe didn't respond, just stood there stunned, wanting to see if his body would give an answer. In the end, his body did give an answer.
"Let's take pictures, so we can have some memorable photos together," Qiuhe thought to himself, feeling that he had made the right bet. Yu Rou had let him make the decision, so that was (Yu Rou's words).
"Yay! Let's head to the photo studio! Ta-da, let's go!" Qiuhe felt that his body control was slightly stronger than before.
Just now, I felt a strong urge to control my body, but it was still within my control. Now, it seems I can control Qiuhe as well, though it would require force. This should be considered possession.
The two then went to a photo studio, hired a photographer, and began choosing a location. They drove to a plain, and Yu Rou nodded in satisfaction as she looked at it.
"How does Qiuhe feel about this place?" Qiuhe didn't speak, but Yu Rou knew him very well. "Okay, Uncle, let's take pictures here." Then the photographer took some lilies of the valley and roses from the car.
Along with some props needed for the venue, Qiuhe looked at the boundless plain, gently closed his eyes, and felt the wind on the plain. "A gentle wind, refreshing, free."
When Qiuhe thought of freedom, a series of unfamiliar images suddenly flooded her mind: herself, a blue-haired girl, and a brown-haired girl on a cliff, gazing at a beautiful landscape.
Qiuhe suddenly opened his eyes. He didn't know what those memories were, why he had them, where they were, or who the two girls were.
At this moment, Yu Rou, who was standing nearby, saw Qiu He lost in thought and called his name. Upon hearing Yu Rou's call, Qiu He instantly snapped out of his reverie. "Qiu He, what were you thinking about? Was the venue not good?"
"No, it's beautiful here. Where Yu Rou is, it's paradise." Qiu He felt a shiver run down his spine as he said these words, and he even got goosebumps.
He couldn't help but wonder if he really had depression. Was this something someone with depression would say? But Yu Rou was happy; he smiled gently and lightly kissed Qiu He's cheek.
"Yes, wherever Qiuhe is, it's the most beautiful holy place in the world," she said, looking at the girl's smile, but feeling uneasy. "Why does my body recognize her, but I don't?"
"We clearly love each other so much, so why can't I remember anything about her? If we really made vows of eternal love, then what does it mean that I've forgotten her now?"
Qiuhe's inner dejection was not shown on his face or in his eyes. He only thought about whether he had let her down, let down a girl who loved him so much. "Alright, you two can take pictures now. The venue has been prepared for you."
Upon hearing the sound, Qiuhe and Yurou looked towards the spot where they were about to take photos. They saw lilies of the valley and roses covering the ground, as well as two huge trees, an apple tree and a pear tree.
Two trees were intertwined, with a huge heart-shaped curve at the top. The two felt a warm feeling in their hearts as they looked at the beautiful place, but Qiuhe suddenly thought of a serious problem.
What should I do if I need to smile when taking photos later? After all, I can't make any facial expressions right now, let alone a difficult pose like smiling.
Thinking of this, Qiuhe couldn't help but feel nervous. He didn't know how to face this problem; he had forgotten all his memories of her.
If you can't even preserve photos of beautiful memories, what difference is there between you and a beast? At that moment, Qiuhe thought of something...
Although I have forgotten him, my body has not (I follow my body). Now is the time to follow my body.
