Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

Everything here has a dreamy and unreal feeling.

Snyder saw in the distance, the orange trees swaying slightly in the wind, shaking the bright yellow oranges on the branches, just like the best memories of his childhood.

The aroma of oranges drifted over on the wind, stirring Snyder's appetite. But she swallowed her saliva while nervously looking at Chen Xi beside her.

But he gave her a reassuring smile and handed a peeled orange to Snyder, saying gently:

"Want some? I just picked them. They're the biggest, sweetest oranges on the tree."

"Thank you."

Snider, feeling strangely relaxed, gently broke off a petal and placed it in his mouth. Chen Xi, standing beside him, watched nervously as the orange petal disappeared from Snider's cherry-colored lips.

The light orange juice overflowed from the corners of her mouth, making her look like a cute kitten.

As he chewed the food for the last time, Snyder smiled sweetly at Chen Xi. His words of thanks no longer had the teasing tone that was always present in his memory. He was more like a cute girl next door, ready to pounce on him and act coquettishly in his arms at any time.

"It's very sweet and tastes very nostalgic. Thank you."

"If you like it, then eat more. There's no rush. We have plenty of time and plenty of oranges."

"Ok!"

After nodding heavily, Snyder sat under the orange tree with Chen Xi.

She didn't even take the orange from Chen Xi's hand, but put her fingers through Chen Xi's fingers, held the orange in his hand with him, and leaned against Chen Xi's shoulder close to him.

One petal, two petals...most of the small orange in Chen Xi's hand was eaten up quickly, but the further he ate, the slower Snyder ate.

Finally, when only the last orange slice was left, she stopped completely.

"what happened?"

Chen Xi asked with concern, but Snyder just lowered his head and said sullenly:

"Do you think... this orange tastes a bit bitter?"

"bitter?"

Chen Xi laughed, "How could that be? This is the same orange you ate at the beginning."

Snyder also looked puzzled: "I know, but..."

"Snyder!"

When he heard the call, Snyder's eyes suddenly widened.

How... is this possible?

elder sister?

"Snyder! Snyder! Run! Get out of there!"

"Sister, sister!"

Marian's staggering figure suddenly emerged from behind the orange tree. She was wearing the same clothes as Snyder, but now she looked very embarrassed.

She clutched her shoulder and walked towards where Snyder was with a painful expression on her face, but her steps became slower and slower, and finally she knelt down in front of Snyder, mumbling incoherent words:

"Lord, please, please bless..."

"Sister, sister!"

The moment he heard Marian's call, Snyder stood up and ran towards her with a look of fear on his face.

But just as she was about to reach out and touch her sister, she bumped into an invisible barrier and was separated from her sister forever.

Like his sister, Snyder knelt on the ground, crying, slapping, and calling his sister's name.

Her sister opposite her slowly closed her eyes against the barrier, and instead of shedding tears, there were more and more wounds on her body and drops of blood oozing out of her skin.

"Sister, sister!"

The heart-wrenching wails reached their peak after Marianne completely lost consciousness.

The frantic slapping didn't cause any ripples on the barrier, and in a trance, Snyder made a decision.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and with the determination to die, she slammed into the barrier in front of her.

Click—click—

The sound of shattering rang in my ears as I wished, but what was shattering was not the barrier in front of me, but the whole world.

The cracks of the shattered world spread across Marian's body, spreading with a bang, collapsing, and breaking apart...

When I opened my eyes again, the steps in front of the foundation were still in front of me. I was kneeling on the ground and saw the boy in the dream, whose name I didn’t know yet, staring at my miserable appearance with interest.

Just as Snyder was still digesting the emotions brought out by the dream, the young man in front of her slowly spoke and asked:

"How was it? Did you have a good dream?"

With Chen Xi's support, Snyder stood up with trembling legs. However, the strong emotional impact had made her legs lose strength. As long as Chen Xi let go, she would slide to the ground like a puddle of mud.

However, even so, she still stared at Chen Xi fiercely, grabbed his collar and questioned:

"Who are you? What did you do to my sister?!"

Chen Xi still had that cynical look on his face as he gently untied her hands and pushed her away.

He didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of accidentally hurting the emotional citrus cat in front of him.

"what!"

Snyder huffed, but Chen Xi continued to point at his wrinkled clothes with a smile.

"Miss Snyder, I think I need to tell you this—the last person who did this to me has the grass on his grave as tall as you."

"Are you sure you still want to communicate with me in this manner?"

In fear, Snyder finally looked around:

The location remained the same, the blaring police lights now completely smashed to pieces. Everyone within sight lay on the ground, either asleep or dead.

There was no obvious smell of blood in the air, so Snyder was more inclined to the former, but...

She looked up at the man in front of her whose name she didn't know, and recalled how he crushed the receptionist's head without hesitation. She couldn't help swallowing: Would this man really just let them pass out like this?

But she had no choice. In this situation, she could only choose not to think about it and not to make mistakes.

However, just when she opened her mouth to ask something, Chen Xi had already turned and left, leaving behind a back full of sighs.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

Seeing that so many questions were about to choke him, Snyder quickly chased after Chen Xi who was not far away.

"At least tell me your name!"

But Chen Xi just walked on in silence, and Snyder, like a chirping bird, surrounded him and asked endless questions.

At the beginning, his tone was calm, but he became more anxious as time went on.

Especially when it came to questions about her sister and her family, the anxiety in her tone made people think she was scratching her own heart.

Finally, Chen Xi seemed to be annoyed to the point of stopping, but Snyder behind him didn't react and bumped into his back, letting out a cute whimper.

However, before she could finish her breath, Chen Xi suddenly turned around and covered her face. Her cheeks were squeezed together by his hands, and her mouth was pouting and slightly parted, and a little bit of white teeth could be seen from the front.

"Uh, uh!"

The sudden change caught Snyder off guard. He was in a dilemma whether to break free or not.

And in just these few seconds of hesitation, Chen Xi had already started rubbing her soft face.

Just now, Youmeng had shared Snyder's dream with him.

His only responsibility was to let Snyder get some sleep so that he could have some time to deal with the annoying noises and bugs around him.

As for what Snyder dreams about, it is not something he can control.

But I have to say that the various interactions in the dream still touched the boy's heart a little.

The girl's soft fingers slipped into the gaps between their fingers, bringing the two of them together in a heart-to-heart connection.

Dreams are fake, but the emotions in them are real.

Looking at Snyder's delicate face, which was still cute and charming even after being crumpled into this shape by him, Chen Xi's cynical heart moved closer to him.

At the same time, he also received Snyder's pain in the dream and his emphasis and dedication to his family.

He was wrong to do this, but he didn't expect Snyder's forgiveness or trust.

In Snyder's view, he might be more like a strange and frightening stranger.

So after introducing her and her family to the foundation, I will leave without saying a word, just like before.

Anyway, no one cares.
