Volume 4: Spacetime Singularity Chapter 15 Silence
When the side of the earth between the two lines unfolded before their eyes, the Milky Way and the starry sky on the other side of them also completely disappeared at the same moment, and the entire hemisphere returned to pure black.
Ning Yu'an did not have the chance to notice the changes in the faint light behind her. After all, the sudden light made her eyes very uncomfortable. After being stimulated by the strong light, she subconsciously covered her eyes with her hands.
After her eyes slowly adjusted to the light, the scene before her shocked her so much that she didn't know what to say.
On the other side of this straight line is a vast sky that fills the entire field of vision.
The sky in May should have been extremely clear, but at this moment the turbulence had not yet completely dissipated, and the vast sky was filled with distorted and complex colors.
This patch of color spread along the thin line of light below them to the end of their vision, like a huge movie screen with no boundaries. If you turn your head in the direction parallel to the giant screen, you can see that it is sharply cut in half, tightly fitting with the pure darkness on the other side.
Fang Cheng supported himself on the ground with his arms and stood up with some difficulty.
After he stood up, he felt dizzy and felt pains all over his body. The lack of blood in his brain almost made him stumble forward, but luckily he grabbed his clothes with one hand.
He hadn't slept much for more than twenty-four hours, and had been in an extremely nervous and excited mood during this period, which had greatly consumed his physical and mental strength.
"What's wrong with you? You should sit down."
"Phew, it's okay, I just didn't get enough rest, I'm used to it."
Ning Yu'an remembered that Fang Cheng seemed to often overdraw his life to do many things. Although he seldom told her how hard he studied, she actually knew it.
When she was a freshman in college, she would habitually send him a few unimportant messages before going to bed every night, and Fang Cheng would always reply after about an hour.
She knew in her heart that he didn't reply at first because he was studying, and he only replied after an hour when he was getting ready for bed.
In fact, she also thought that this person might be ignoring her because he was playing games, but she ruled out this hypothesis in an instant. Because every time he responded, she could see that his emotions were very calm, not like he had just finished playing games.
Ning Yu'an's father loved playing games very much. Ever since she could remember, she remembered that her father often played games alone in front of the computer and shouted excitedly.
At this time, her mother did not try to stop him. She just silently cut a plate of apples and put them on the table. Her father always played games before they became unpalatable. This seemed to have become some kind of strange tacit understanding. She remembered that her father played a variety of games, from CS, Age of Empires, World of Warcraft at the beginning, to Civilization V, Warhammer and War Thunder later. It seemed that he would dabble in every game that was a little discussed.
She recalled that every time after playing games, her father's face would turn red, his speech would become much faster, and he would do things in a hurry and was very restless.
When Fang Cheng went to her house to play, he was often dragged by her father to play games, but he didn't seem to want to play particularly.
When she was an undergraduate, whenever she called Fang Cheng, she never heard him say "I'm playing games, I'll talk to you later" no matter what time it was.
And the amazing thing is that no matter what time it is, they always seem to have something to talk about. Even if they don't know what to say when they start talking, after a minute of small talk, the topic will always turn to some interesting direction.
It was a bit unusual for them to remain silent for a long time after meeting like today.
After experiencing the ups and downs of her mood and a long period of separation, her desire to say something continued to accumulate.
And now it was too quiet all around, there was literally no sound at all, because no phonons could penetrate the barrier of space.
Such extreme silence does not , but fear.
"How long have you not slept? The tone of your voice is wrong." Ning Yu'an also stood up and held Fang Cheng's arms with both hands.
She didn't feel any force on her hands at first, but after a few seconds she felt a strong sinking force, and along with this force she also felt a surge of joy from the bottom of her heart.
The source of this joy is hard to describe. Perhaps the feeling of being relied on usually brings people great pleasure.
"I'm fine... maybe a little tired, but I can probably hold on."
Fang Chenggang was suddenly in a trance after saying this, and a strong sense of fatigue came over him. It seemed that the fatigue accumulated after more than a day of tossing and turning was suddenly released at this moment.
"Are you really okay..."
"Uh... well, I don't know why... I suddenly feel very tired now..."
He sat back on the empty ground, feeling a squeeze in his heart and a sharp cry coming from his ears. He couldn't help but fall to the side, his back leaning against the girl behind her.
"How long have you been awake? Have you not closed your eyes all day?"
This sweaty look is a bit scary.
Ning Yu'an helped him sit down slowly, kneeled on the ground with his legs facing sideways, and placed his head between his thighs.
"Huh... Isn't this a bad look..."
"Hey, are you embarrassed?"
Fang Cheng could only see a large black shadow in front of his eyes and could not see the girl's face at all.
"This posture... must be embarrassing..."
"It's okay... No one will come to this place anyway."
It was true that she still hadn't figured out where this place was. She would explain it to Fang Cheng after he woke up. Anyway, the last thing they lacked now was time.
“No one is coming…”
He originally wanted to say, "Aren't you shy?" But suddenly he realized the current atmosphere and felt that saying this would seem very unemotional, so he held it back.
"Hmm... the feeling."
Just like countless times before, Fang Cheng regretted his words immediately after he said them. He realized that he had chosen the most destructive sentence among all the things he could say.
Too little sleep makes my brain fuzzy.
"Yeah, I haven't been exercising much recently. You know I hate running the most."
"How do you usually exercise?"
"Just, play badminton or something? Just like in middle school, right?"
"Yes, I remember we learned badminton together in elementary school..."
Fang Cheng's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally only the sound of heavy breathing remained.
Ning Yu'an turned his head towards the sky and could see that the frozen clouds were very close to them. The faint blue background dotted with whirlpools seemed to be dancing before his eyes, making it seem as if one could smell the smell of the non-existent wind.
