"call--"
The horse fork worm's eyes felt hot, and it kept looking up and blinking hard, trying to swallow back the tears.
This regret that lasted throughout his life made him feel powerless yet extremely moved.
At this moment, Little John asked again:
"And what do you think those are? The stars, I mean."
"lighthouse."
As Xiaoxi became more familiar with Little John, it became less difficult for him to speak.
That kind of soul resonance seemed to be able to cure her autism.
Xiaoxi looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, and the light seemed to be reflected in her eyes:
"They are like thousands of lighthouses, shining at the end of the world."
"That must be very lively?" said Little John.
“Not really…”
Xiaoxi shook her head, seeming a little lost:
"They can see each other and want to communicate, but they are far apart and cannot hear each other's calls."
"All they can do... is try their best to shine."
"Let that light shine upon other beacons..."
As the piano music twists and turns, it's like a thousand twists and turns of melancholy swirling around the rugged mountains and merging into the sad and quiet river.
Even the most hard-hearted person couldn't help but be moved.
Stars, lighthouses...
In fact, they are all streams.
She is like a star hanging far in the sky, and also like a lonely lighthouse standing on the coast.
Before John arrived, she could only look at the other lighthouses from a distance.
And with John coming into her life, her light took on meaning.
That's why she was so obsessed with "Anya".
Yes.
She saw herself as a lighthouse standing alone on the beach, always facing the sea.
She is Anya, and Anya is her.
John.
My dearest.
Now, I am seriously ill and can no longer accompany you to the end.
But I wish I could turn into Anya and snuggle with you in another way.
John.
My dearest.
Human life is too short.
If I could, I would like to turn into a star in the sky or a lighthouse on the seashore.
Please forgive my congenital psychological barriers that prevent me from expressing my inner thoughts.
Actually, I don't want you to take care of Anya.
But I want to stand there forever, quietly watching you, being your light, and forever lighting your way home...
See here!
There was silence in the barrage.
Whether it is the players or the audience, the actions at this moment are almost exactly the same -
Those who have tissues look for them, and those who don’t have tissues look up and blink.
At this moment, in many live broadcast rooms, the sound of soft sobbing was heard.
Xiaoxi's love was too ethereal, so ethereal that they had to pursue it throughout the entire game before they finally understood it.
Xiaoxi's love was too heavy, so heavy that it took them an entire game to finally understand it.
"So…what's in that bag?"
Turning his eyes away from the starry sky, Xiaoxi pointed at the old schoolbag on the ground and asked John.
"Oh, this is the prize I won when I played whack-a-mole!"
As he spoke, Little John dug out his prize from his backpack.
It was a platypus doll.
An ugly, stuffed platypus.
"Can I see it?"
Xiaoxi took the ugly platypus from John and muttered:
"It looks really weird... but I really hope I can win one of my own someday."
"John!!!!"
Just then John's mother's voice came from down the mountain.
Little John quickly jumped down from the stump:
"My mother called me, I have to go."
“I give this back to you!”
Seeing John was about to run away, Xiaoxi also jumped down, wanting to return the platypus to John.
However, John waved his hand:
"Well... take it, it's yours!"
"mine?"
"Well! This is for you! Because I'm a whack-a-mole expert, I can definitely win another one!"
Little John is full of confidence.
Xiaoxi hesitated for two seconds, and then hugged the platypus in his arms.
"……Thank you."
This moment!
Spare an old hand like Xiao Lin!
I just felt a buzzing in my head!
I totally can't help it!
Covering my face, my shoulders were shaking, and tears were flowing out between my fingers!
Yes!
Xiaoxi has never forgotten any of the childhood promises!
The rabbit constellation that once belonged to them, the lighthouse shining under the stars, and the ugly but precious platypus doll!
She hugged a platypus all her life, folded rabbits for half her life, and finally turned into a lighthouse standing on the seashore, staying with John in the most silent way!
This love is silent.
But it is deafening!
Looking at Little John's running back, Xiaoxi hesitated for a long time, and finally summoned up the courage to whisper:
"By the way! Will you...will you come here again next year?"
Little John stopped and looked at the stream from a distance.
The moonlight was like a song, and the bright moonlight was like the purest veil in the world, spreading over their bodies, making them look so dreamy.
"Of course! What about you?" Little John nodded.
Xiaoxi nodded heavily as if relieved: "Yes!"
"So... the same time? The same place?"
"Um!"
Xiaoxi deeply engraved this agreement in her heart, and then asked again as if she was worried:
"What if you forget... or get lost?"
In response to Xiaoxi's question, Little John smiled.
Then, he smiled and said the sentence that runs through the entire game, which is also the final answer of the entire game -
【Then we will meet on the moon, silly.】
Little John smiled.
The stream smiled.
But now!
All the players and spectators couldn't hold back any more, they sobbed and cried, some even cried loudly!!!
All that was in his mind was Old John's confused look at the very beginning of the game.
"I don't know why I want to go to the moon..."
"I just..."
"I must go!"
I have to go!!!
In order to fulfill the childhood promise under the starry sky, Xiaoxi held the platypus and folded paper rabbits for half her life, just to remind John of their previous promise.
Although John lost his memory and did not keep the appointment, miraculously he never forgot the promise made under the starry sky!
Just as he said!
Even if I'm lost, even if I'm lost.
We will meet on the moon.
The blockers made him forget everything.
But I can't let him forget the appointment he made with Xiaoxi to meet on the moon!
So far!
All puzzles solved!
A weird yellow and blue paper rabbit! An ugly platypus! A lighthouse on the seashore!
And old John’s deepest wish!
Wrapped in this confusing mystery lies the most sincere, purest and most tear-jerking feelings in the world!
When players finally solve all the confusing puzzles, they will find that the answer is just one word -
like.
However!
Right at this moment!
Boom boom!
Suddenly!
Then, there was another sudden shock in the memory world!
The remote health monitor that I had been carrying with me before lit up red.
This means that Old John is almost dying.
what to do?!
Neil, who understood everything, looked at the female doctor!
At this moment, the female doctor was not in a hurry, but just looked at him steadily.
"What do you want to do, doctor?"
"Of course, it's to restore Old John's memory and let him and Xiaoxi..."
"We would then be in breach of the contract."
But before Neil could finish.
The unexpected flip strikes again!
"What do you mean?"
Suddenly, Neil had a bad feeling.
The players widened their eyes!
"We are out of time,"
The female doctor said:
"In order to complete the contract, we must find a way to get Old John to the moon in the shortest possible time."
“Hey! Hey!!!”
Machacho wiped her tears and pointed at the screen, unable to believe what the female doctor said!
"No? Old John doesn't want to go to the moon! His wish is not to go to the moon at all! What he wants is the creek!"
What he wanted was to fulfill the unfinished promise he made with his wife when they were children!
For this promise, the stream reminded him all his life, and he also searched for it all his life!
And now, the female doctor is determined to send old John into space just for the contract? !
Players outside the game are extremely angry!
And Dr. Neil in the game also reached out to stop the female doctor!
But!
Then the female doctor pointed!
Boom!
Neil was trapped in an invisible cover!
"Neil, you need to calm down. Our contract is to send John to the moon. This cannot be changed."
The female doctor looked normal:
“We have to send our customers to the moon,”
"And now, the best way to accomplish all this..."
"It's just to delete the creek,"
"Only by completely erasing her from Old John's memory can the obsession not form, and he can be successfully implanted with the desire to become an astronaut."
You fart your horse!!!
This moment!
Global Telegram!
Neil was hammering away in the transparent space, and the players were sending angry telegrams outside the screen!!!
'You bastard, I'll kill you!'
'He doesn't want to be an astronaut! Are you kidding me?'
"Bitch! Bitch! Get back here now or I'm gonna fuck you to bits!"
"Baka! I'm so mad...&*#￥%@! ! ! "
"Hey, Xibaer...&&*%...&#￥%!!!"
"Dog! You are a dog, you old thief! Who the hell taught you to write a plot like this? ! "
"Fuck... could you please stop messing with my mentality like this..."
'I'm really going to be pissed off'
"These women are pure bastards!"
"……"
The anchors were furious and the audience was outraged!
But this still can't change anything.
Just like that, they watched helplessly as the female doctor manipulated Xiaoxi to be deleted from John's life bit by bit.
The bright sunshine shines through the mottled shadows of the trees and falls into the corridor.
The pages of the book are gently blown by the wind. The platypus sits alone on the steps...
In the noisy movie theater, John and his brother came to watch the movie arm in arm.
But there is no longer the girl who once stood shoulder to shoulder with him in the cinema...
On the racecourse, the sun was shining brightly and cheerful laughter echoed.
But there is no longer the figure who once sat on the saddle and bravely rode the horse...
Everyone was silent.
After the female doctor's memory was changed.
Joey was not killed and the stream never appeared again.
John also "as he wished" was implanted with the dream of becoming an astronaut.
The days passed by like a slide show...
John successfully entered the space agency...
Then he was promoted quickly...
After that, I received the mission of sending a manned spaceflight to the moon...
Everything seems to be moving in the direction of "normal".
However, all the players and spectators outside the game felt as if a huge rock was pressing on their hearts, making them speechless.
The feeling of despair was spreading, almost swallowing people up.
Soon, in silence, the time approached for the rocket to launch to the moon.
John is now just one step away from his dream of going to the moon .
But the players and spectators just couldn't be happy.
Everyone was silent.
Even the usually most talkative anchors like A Yin and Shu Ge had red eyes and kept their mouths shut as they pushed forward the process.
…
"Are you ready?"
In the small concert hall of the space agency, the director leaned over and asked John who was sitting at the piano.
"I... maybe..."
John's answer seemed a little absent-minded:
"I just feel like... I seem to have forgotten something..."
"Haha, don't worry. After all, we are flying to the moon. Every great astronaut will do this before carrying out a mission..."
The director laughed and patted John on the shoulder.
Is this really the case?
John didn't know.
My dream is clearly within reach, but why can't I be happy?
He seemed to be a little disappointed, and also seemed to be thinking about something.
John's hands slowly tapped the black and white keys.
The familiar melody came again!
The melody created with two main notes is simple yet pleasant and melodious.
Whether it is the host or the audience, at this moment, they can hardly believe their ears!
Because this is exactly the song that John originally wrote for the creek .
For River
"Oh, yes,"
The director was about to leave the empty concert hall when he suddenly turned around and said to John casually:
"There will be another member participating in this space mission..."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened instantly and they couldn't help but hold their breath!
Things seem to have taken another divine turn!!!
And as these words fell!
Suddenly!
Dongdong——
Dongdong——
Dongdong——
In reality, the sound of old John's heartbeat could be heard, like the beat of a drum coming closer and closer, knocking on the door of the concert hall with a dusty voice!
Snap——
The door slowly opened, accompanied by the sound of a piano that sounded like the gurgling of a stream under the moon.
There was a girl standing outside the door.
Orange-red hair, a calm face, and that familiar blue dress.
Even though my memory was deleted! Falsified! Corrected!
But love doesn't.
Even if you have to go through huge crowds and thousands of ravines.
Even if there are many difficulties and setbacks along the way.
I will also arrive as promised as always.
We've already missed it once.
This time.
We won't miss it again.
Yes.
Standing at the door is Xiaoxi!
In fact, the female doctor did not completely delete the person of Creek, she just temporarily removed Creek from John's memory.
The purpose is to slightly move the world line so that two parallel lines that would never intersect will have hope of intersecting together!
She believed that old John's deep and passionate love could help him get through the crowds and bring back the love of his life.
And in fact!
Old John did not disappoint.
In the concert hall, John looked at the stream for a long time.
We are finally no longer two parallel lines.
No matter how the world changes, no matter how time passes, no matter what happens in the future.
This time, we finally have the chance to be like two shooting stars trying to rush towards each other, even though we are exhausted along the way!
But one day, we will meet at a certain point!
because I love you.
"…This song is really beautiful,"
After a while, Xiaoxi slowly spoke:
"What's it called?"
John smiled:
"It's called—"
"To the Moon"
Xiaoxi also smiled: "...This name...is so beautiful..."
…
Finally, the day of the rocket launch arrived!
The afterglow of the setting sun spread over the sightseeing bridge, coating everyone who came to watch with a layer of gold.
A male doctor, a female doctor, his brother Joey, his best friend's family, his nanny Lily, and two children...
The piano music of "To the Moon" sounded, carrying with it a sincere and heavy love.
Everyone held hands and looked at the launch site in the distance .
The large screen directly above showed the real-time image of the rocket taking off.
"three--"
"two--"
"one!"
"ignition!"
rumble--!!!
Along with the dull sound of billowing flames came from the launch site.
The rocket, which carried the two people's lifelong promise from childhood to old age, finally left the ground.
Fly to the moon!
Dong——Dong——
Dong——Dong——
Dong——Dong——
As the sound of Old John's heartbeat in reality became weaker and weaker.
Everyone's heart was in a knot.
As everyone knows, it's a miracle that Old John can survive until now.
This time, Old John is really leaving...
In the live broadcast of the launch, John and Xiaoxi were sitting side by side.
Outside the porthole is a sky full of stars!
The huge moon was getting closer and closer. At this moment, all the stars seemed to gather next to the moon, gradually forming a cute rabbit with a yellow belly.
Xiaoxi turned her head and looked at John, and John also turned his head and looked at Xiaoxi.
The two of them looked at each other just like they did when they were children looking up at the stars.
And this time, Xiaoxi took the initiative to reach out to John.
Fingers interlocked.
A promise that spanned sixty years and a lifetime was finally fulfilled at this moment.
Next second.
drop--!!!
As the long beep sounded, old John's heart finally stopped beating on the heart rate monitor.
His wish was finally fulfilled and he found himself at the last moment of his life.
In the vast starry night, under the care of the bright yellow moon, the manned rocket gradually turned into a dazzling star, becoming a beacon among thousands of stars.
Old John's relieved voice sounded along with the flowing piano music——
"At the last moment of my life, I finally remembered the lighthouse from my childhood and the moon that looked like a rabbit."
“I never worry about getting lost or not being found.”
"Because I know..."
"We will meet on the moon."
The vast night sky!
Starry!
A bright moon hangs high above the sea, and the bright moonlight shines on the lighthouse.
In the beautiful picture, a string of cursive characters appeared:
[Yes, the place I want to go is never the moon]
【But it’s where you are】
【——To the Moon (The end)】
This moment!
Players from all over the world!
Everyone burst into tears!!!
