Chapter Index

    Loop6 (twelve)

    They walked along the mountain road for more than ten or twenty minutes, which allowed them to adapt to the environment in the mountains and forests in advance.

    There was thick snow on the road and treetops. It was beautiful, but it was also really cold.

    All four of them wore hats and gloves. Only Bai Tong also wore a mask. However, she felt that the mask was uncomfortable whether she wore it or took it off. She was out of breath after walking a short distance.

    Yin Yi and Sun Daining were like walking on hot wheels, always walking in front and standing there waiting for them.

    Cen Yu stretched out his hand to Bai Tong and said, “Let me lead you.”

    Bai Tong obediently handed over his hand, and Cen Yu asked, “How come you can’t even walk this far if you don’t exercise much?”

    Bai Tong nodded.

    Cen Yu asked again, “Does your mother usually take you somewhere to play?”

    “Yes, but usually I just take a car, a plane, a cable car, a boat, and then lie down.”

    Cen Yu smiled and said, “Is it fun?”

    “It’s not fun.” Bai Tong said.

    “Our itinerary is pretty much the same. If you feel bored, just tell me.” Cen Yu said.

    “It doesn’t matter.” Bai Tong originally wanted to play with Sun Daining, but now he ended up playing with his mother. It felt weird.

    But fortunately, getting along with Cen Yu is easier than getting along with Bai Jingru. Let’s settle for the next best thing.

    When we arrived at the hotel, the situation was like this.

    Originally, Cen Yu had booked a suite for Bai Jingru and Bai Tong. She, Sun Daining and Yin Yi had another large suite with two bedrooms. Now that Bai Jingru was not here, she asked Bai Tong if it was okay to live alone in the original suite.

    Of course Bai Tong can’t do it. Why is she living there alone?

    If she wants to squeeze in to live with Cen Yu, of course the most likely scenario is that Cen Yu lives with Sun Daining, and she lives with Yin Yi. Bai Tong thinks about it and can accept it reluctantly.

    The hotel upgraded their room type and added a viewing balcony in the living room with a view of the vast snow-capped mountains.

    Everyone looked there for a while, admired it for a while, and then planned to go out and play.

    Cen Yu said that this itinerary was similar to Bai Tong’s previous ones, and she was still modest. The first activity she arranged was hot spring + health care. At least Bai Tong had never done health care before.

    Everyone was wearing bikinis and had the same body structure, but Bai Tong didn’t know why he felt shy when he saw Sun Daining.Anyway, there were many pools here, so Bai Tong walked to a remote pool and took a dip.

    White mist steamed into the sky from the snowy hot springs. Bai Tong sat by the pool and looked at the mist.

    I am indeed an unsociable person. I can’t blame Bai Jingru for being unhappy all the time. It has nothing to do with control, struggle, love and hate. It has nothing to do with anything. If I have to blame, I can only blame myself.

    The thought of feeling suffocated again crowded into her mind.

    She held on to the wall of the pool, closed her eyes and slowly sank into the water.

    The hot spring water is different from the sea water in summer. When your face sinks into the pool from the air at minus 20 degrees Celsius, it feels very hot and stuffy.

    After staying there for less than ten seconds, Bai Tong came up again.

    never mind.

    I just leaned there and closed my eyes for a while, unable to check the time. I felt it was almost time, so I stood up from the water, put on a bath towel and went indoors.

    The friends who came when they arrived were nowhere to be found. Bai Tong was wandering around and bumped into one of her bodyguards.

    So Bai Tong walked in another direction, found a massage room and walked in, thinking about giving it a try, but as soon as the aunt pressed her twice, she ran out screaming.

    It’s so boring, I can’t do anything.

    There was a small house with a glass door next to it. Warm yellow light shone out, attracting Bai Tong’s attention. He opened the door and walked in. It was a sauna with wooden floors and wooden walls.

    There was only one person inside – Sun Daining.

    Because she was sitting on the side of the room, Bai Tong didn’t see her when she was outside just now.

    This room is either big or small, with plenty of places to sit.

    But Bai Tong walked up to Sun Daining and sat down about one person away from Sun Daining.

    Neither of them seemed to have anything to say. Within two minutes, Sun Daining stood up and prepared to leave.

    Bai Tong took her wrist and said, “I came here just to be with you.”

    Sun Daining didn’t say anything, but she meant, “So?”

    Bai Tong continued, “Can’t you stay with me for a little longer? I have to leave.”

    Sun Daining said, “You are leaving anyway.”

    Bai Tong still pulled her and said, “But I don’t want to leave. I don’t want to go abroad at all.”

    It seemed that as long as Sun Daining said, “Then don’t leave,” she could continue to stalk and fight Bai Jingru for eight hundred rounds, begging Bai Jingru not to take her abroad.

    But Sun Daining just said, “It doesn’t matter. It’s the same everywhere. See you next time.”

    She sat back and sat next to Bai Tong.

    Facing this person who had no special feelings for her, Bai Tong felt that she really wanted to rely on her, and that’s exactly what she did. She reached out to hold Sun Daining’s arm and leaned on Sun Daining’s shoulder.

    Anyway, Bai Tong also figured out that when a person’s emotional intelligence is low enough, she can do whatever she wants.

    In other words, Bai Tong can do whatever she wants as long as Sun Daining doesn’t refuse.

    Maybe Sun Daining saw Bai Tong’s sadness and said, “It’s okay, just be strong.”

    “I am indeed not as strong as you. If you put me in a mental hospital, I will definitely not be able to get out.” Bai Tong no longer considered the feelings of the people who heard this, but spoke his thoughts honestly.

    Sun Daining said, “Yes, I think so too.” As if they were competing to see whose emotional intelligence was lower, Sun Daining added, “That was you, not me, so I came out.”

    Bai Tong smiled and said, “You are awesome.”

    Sun Daining sat with Bai Tong for a while and said, “Do you know where I went wrong? I shouldn’t have tried to save you. No one can save anyone.”

    Bai Tong asked, “What do you mean?”

    Sun Daining said, “It means that if you face it, it won’t be a big deal. There is no difference between inside and outside the mental hospital, at home and abroad, anywhere.”

    Bai Tong combined the context and found that he didn’t understand it at all, so he said directly, “If you don’t understand, stop playing riddles.”

    Sun Daining said with a smile, “I’m a lunatic and I’m still taking medicine. It’s normal for me to say some random things.”

    Bai Tong also laughed with her and said, “It’s really fun to be with you.”

    Sun Daining said, “I see you are quite happy staying with Yin Yi.”

    “No, no.” Bai Tong looked up at Sun Daining’s expression, then looked down at his hand holding hers, and said, “That’s because she is your friend, and I think…”

    She wondered if Yin Yi liked Sun Daining.Of course she was just guessing.

    Bai Tong changed the subject to Sun Daining and asked, “Do you have anyone you like?”

    This question was a bit jumpy, but Sun Daining answered directly, “No.” He added, “I did before.”

    Bai Tong was happy and surprised at first when he heard the answer, and asked, “Who is it?”

    “I told you, but you don’t know her,” Sun Daining said. “It’s a pity that she is dead. I will never like anyone again.”

    Bai Tong carefully observed Sun Daining’s expression and suddenly laughed, “You’re kidding.”

    Sun Daining also smiled and said, “How do you know.”

    She pulled Bai Tong up and said, “Okay, we are almost dehydrated. Let’s go out.”

    Bai Tong took advantage of the situation and held Sun Daining’s hand tightly and went out with her.

    In fact, Sun Daining didn’t say anything, or Bai Tong didn’t understand anything, but he just felt that he felt a lot better after talking to her. Maybe just holding her hand would make him full of courage.

    Outside, I met Yin Yi who had returned from taking a shower. She insisted that her “skin was as smooth and tender as egg white” now, and she rushed to ask them to touch it.

    Sun Daining was used to Yin Yi’s behavior, so she smiled and touched her twice. Bai Tong didn’t really want to touch her, and when she thought of Sun Daining’s words just now, “You and Yin Yi are very happy together,” she was even more reluctant to touch her.

    Yin Yi said, “Xueba, you are still so disrespectful.” After saying that, he patted Bai Tong’s butt, laughed and ran away.

    Bai Tong’s face turned red, and he didn’t know whether it was from embarrassment or anger.

    Next, everyone changed clothes and went to the restaurant to eat together. At this time, Yin Yi came back and walked next to Bai Tong, as if nothing was wrong.Bai Tong couldn’t do anything to her. Is it possible to take her back again?

    But when Yin Yi talked to her, she ignored Yin Yi. Yin Yi was shocked and said, “Are you still angry?”

    Sun Daining was watching from the side, whether he should say anything or not, he was a little bit annoyed by both of them.

    In fact, there was a point in the last cycle, but she liked Bai Tong at that time, so she felt a little uncomfortable, but now it is different. She feels like she has become an audience on the stage of life. She cannot escape this stage anyway during the cycle. The performance is only for one semester anyway, so what is important?

    Of course, love and love are not worth mentioning. She just wanted to observe whether the so-called love can only happen between two specific people, or it can also happen with another person.She wanted to know Bai Tong’s answer.

    This change in mentality was not the result of drug treatment, because she knew that she had no disease at all. She was forced to take medicine in the hospital, and she had to endure it in order to be discharged. After she was discharged, Cen Yu did not take strict care, and she did not continue to take those medicines at all.

    The transformation started at the end of the previous cycle. When Bai Tong grabbed her hand and made those moves, she felt a strong will to die, not to help her break the cycle, but because Bai Tong himself wanted to do this.

    Then everything makes sense.

    The questions that appeared at the beginning of the semester misled her, making her think that the end point was the same question at the end of the semester. But in fact, another thing happened that night. At that time, she didn’t know that Bai Tong did it on purpose. She wanted to try to save Bai Tong, but was dragged down by Bai Tong and fell into an endless cycle.

    Why doesn’t it count as falling into hell?

    For Bai Tong, the end of the previous cycle might just be an unclear dream.

    But for her, Sun Daining, it was truly killing a person with her own hands.

    She returned to the bathroom of Bai Tong’s house, wanting to stand up again from that situation. She had to face the situation again to overcome her fear of it.

    Of course, she failed and was imprisoned in a mental hospital.

    After enduring a lot of torture in the hospital, every mental patient claimed that he was not sick. Therefore, when Sun Daining felt that he was really not sick, he began to wonder, could he really be sick?

    We can’t go on like this, this is not who we are at all.

    In the pain, she woke up and realized that such a person might be Bai Tong.

    It’s not that she thinks “the person imprisoned in the hospital should be Bai Tong”, but that she thinks this world of depression and pain may be Bai Tong’s world.

    In essence, if she is to evaluate herself, she is an optimistic person who has always lived in a peaceful and happy atmosphere. This place does not belong to her at all, she just came here accidentally.

    It’s difficult for people to even change themselves, let alone change others. She was able to step out of the role of “madman” because she was not essentially a madman, and Bai Tong’s words were hard to say.To put it bluntly, even if she is not as serious as “crazy”, she cannot change Bai Tong and make Bai Tong strong and optimistic with just a few words.

    So she felt that if she was going to be here in an eternal cycle, it was not a punishment, but a definite fact.

    When reality is so cruel and boundless, the only thing that can be done is to face it.

    Once she decided not to escape, she instantly gained incomparable freedom.
