Like a corridor of eternal night.

Pei Yan stared blankly at the place he stepped into.

In the dark and empty corridor, there was no sign of a single person, it was full of dilapidated wallpaper, and there were even mildew spots on it. He looked back and tried to shout: "...Arthur?"

His voice echoed, but no one responded.

Obviously two people came in together, Arthur was still in front of him a second ago, he just took a step slower, stepped over the huge vortex, and came here.

However, the end of the corridor could be seen at a glance, but Arthur's figure did not appear.

He was startled, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

But soon he calmed himself down again, probably because Arthur always had that kind of calmness and self-confidence that cannot be questioned, so people began to rely on him unconsciously, especially in these places that were completely beyond his imagination.

The corridor was very dark, except for a dilapidated electric light, which flickered twice and stayed on tenaciously.

Here... he thought, they had entered the Boneyard from that deep abyss before, and the Boneyard directly sent them to the huge illusion.

So here... it should still be in the Burial Ground.

He walked slowly along the long corridor, however...he stopped shortly.

The long corridor seemed endless, but Pei Yan just walked casually and saw a thick wooden door.

Under the faint warm light, the wooden door is also very old, but the workmanship is very exquisite, but it is still a product of many years ago... However, he suddenly felt a little familiar.

It seems... I seem to have seen it somewhere.

He gently reached for the doorknob.

"...Pei Yan?"

Pei Yan was startled, there seemed to be a soft call from the opposite side of the door, it was a very gentle call, full of warmth.

Very...familiar, but also very strange.

He was apprehensive, and for a moment he had already thought of who the other party was.

He remained silent on the spot, his hand on the doorknob but did not move.

"... Ah Yan, stop making trouble."

A male voice came through again, it was a very thick and majestic voice, with the stability of the head of the family, but mixed with a kind of doting tenderness.

He was startled, then slowly opened the door.

The sun... shone on him through the thick black wooden door.

Sunshine again...?

He looked at the light shining on him in a daze, because he had experienced real sunlight in the illusion, so he quickly distinguished the difference between real sunlight and artificial sunlight.

In any case, artificial sunlight does not have the warm touch and color of real sunlight.

Because the light was too glaring, he didn't react at first. He closed his eyes for a while and then opened them again to see clearly the situation in front of him.

In front of him, stood a woman.

The woman combed her hair, and a strand fell from her forehead, decorating the other's slender neck, like the elegance of a swan. She is obviously no longer young, but the high-class life still raises her exquisitely and beautifully. With careful makeup, she is still as beautiful as a white lily in an ivory tower.

Holding a very delicate crystal plate in her hand, with a piece of delicious cream cake on it, she looked at him with some complaints.

"Ah, Yan's temper is really getting worse and worse, but I just reminded you twice, so I locked myself in my room, and I didn't even want to see my mother."

Shut up in your own room?Pei Yan was startled, and hurriedly looked back towards the door.

Then startled.

The dark and dilapidated corridor has disappeared, replaced by a luxurious and spacious bedroom.

Pei Yan could even see a book on the side of the folded bed, half-turned, as if he was really reading it before.

"Just let him go," said the man next to him, and Pei Yan found him now, against the light, he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but he could imagine his kind and majestic appearance, "You always urge him Can you not bother me about your marriage?"

The woman glanced at him complainingly: "Look, Nana is engaged, and he hasn't moved yet, so how can I not be in a hurry."

The man sighed, smiled helplessly, and turned his head to look at Pei Yan: "Okay, Pei Yan is also an adult, don't just get angry with your mother casually."

Only now did Pei Yan look like a man, he was a typical military officer, not very handsome, but very heroic and tough.

Mom... Pei Yan lowered his head, said the word silently in his heart, and then looked at the woman in front of him with some complexity.

She is so beautiful, she is not withered... She is indeed a pure white flower, carefully watered and cared for, and she does not eat the smoke and fire of the world.

"Ah, why don't we have dinner today?" A muttering voice came lazily, and Pei Yan followed the reputation. It was a young woman with high eyebrows, very delicate and beautiful, she poked her head out of the next room dissatisfied, and saw In the scene here, I raised my eyebrows impatiently, "I told you not to rush, things like marriage...how can you be casual."

... Philomena.

Pei Yan looked at her quietly.

Probably feeling Pei Yan's gaze, Philomena smiled and raised her eyebrows: "Ah, what are you looking at, anyway, I'm married, so you just wait to be urged to death by your mother."

The woman sighed and looked at Pei Yan sullenly. The tall man next to her came out to be a peacemaker: "Okay, then... let's eat first."

So Pei Yan followed the family and walked out slowly. With the steps, the broken golden sunlight lazily scattered all over the ground, and one could see the lush green plants outside the window at a glance.

Servants are well-dressed and bow to their masters.

He casually turned his head to look at the restaurant, and was slightly taken aback. There was a snow-white fur ball squatting on the large dining table. Philomena raised her eyebrows, and stretched out a slender hand to pick up the fur ball. , and threw it into Pei Yan's arms casually.

Pei Yan caught the white fur ball in a hurry, and Philomena gave a wicked smile. She has always been arrogant and vicious, but this kind of viciousness is accompanied by her closeness to her family. She pretended to sigh and said: " Ah, my dear brother, with your skills... no wonder your grades are so poor in the military academy, and no wonder you can't find any cute girls."

Mom smiled: "Philomena, don't say that about my brother."

Philomena shrugged, sat at the dining table and fiddled with her nails lazily, and said in a coquettish tone: "I'm not talking about him, it's too late for me to care about him—"

"Meow……"

The white kitten pawed at Pei Yan with watery eyes, as if complaining about how terrible the accident just now was.

He sniffed his nose slightly, and soon asked about the delicious smell of barbecue, and sure enough, carefully cooked dishes were served quickly.

This is probably a beautiful noon, sunny, warm, a mother who is worried about her son's marriage, a lazy sister, a decent and dignified father, and...delicious and exquisite food.

Even... Pei Yan looked down at his kitten.

It's a good life with everything.

No merfolk, no aftermath of the ice day... nothing bad.

In fact, he did fantasize that if those things hadn't happened, he would really be a young master who didn't know the sufferings of the world, just like he is now.

The biggest trouble is that I don't have a sweetheart yet, so I have to be talked about by the whole family.

"Ye," probably seeing that he hadn't sat down at the dining table, his mother gave him a worried look, "What's the matter, sit down quickly, are you really going to be angry with mom?"

"Ah, sit down and eat," Philomena yawned. "My fiancé will take your dear sister out shopping in the afternoon. Please be considerate of me."

"Meow."

The white kitten sniffed, looking at the dishes on the table, obviously eager to try.

He gently put the white kitten down.

"...Yan?" The mother stepped forward and touched his forehead worriedly, "Why don't you talk today, are you uncomfortable?"

"Okay, don't be angry with mom, mom is for your own good." The man sighed, and took a sip of the rich and mellow coffee.

"No, I'm fine," Pei Yan smiled and pulled the woman's hand away.

The woman's hand was also very warm, not at all like an illusion, he thought, very warm, indeed the kind of warmth he had longed for....

But he still let go of the woman's hand.

"That's it for now."

He said softly, stretching out his hand with some nostalgia... brushing away the hair that was hanging down on the woman's forehead.

"...Don't say strange things..." The woman frowned sadly, "Mom loves you."

Pei Yan sighed.

But that's all.

He looked back at the long corridor he had just walked up.

That long corridor is very familiar, it is almost a replica of the dilapidated long corridor just now, with only a small difference, the sun is very dazzling, it is easy for people not to see it, but he still sees it.

There, there is an extra mirror.

Not too big or too small, just a full-length mirror that can accommodate one person, placed inside the corner, it is easy to be overlooked, it really is...a perfect mirror world created for one's own heart.

pity……

Pei Yan narrowed his eyes, stretched out a hand to touch the mirror.

"No...speak," the woman came over, grabbed his wrist, and begged, "Are you still...unwilling to forgive mom?"

He felt the warm palm of the woman, as warm as the sun now.

Although what happened in the mirror world was completely different from reality, Pei Yan felt that the questions asked by the mother in front of him were one.

He was silent, stopped his movements, and took a deep look at the woman.

"No," he said slowly, looking at the woman's anxious and beautiful face, he was filled with emotion and helplessness, but in the end, he just sighed, "I have forgiven you, everyone's life belongs to him only Myself, I have no right to hate you."

"Being bewitched by a mermaid sounds a little ridiculous, but it's not complete." Pei Yan lowered his head to outline a smile, and then firmly touched his finger to the mirror.

"Sometimes...it really makes people willing."

His fingers quickly touched the mirror, but he didn't feel any resistance. A faint ripple of water rippled from where he entered half of his finger.

The woman was still begging behind her.

But he walked in without looking back.

I also already...have what I want.

He opened his eyes, and sure enough, he returned to the dilapidated corridor before.

Dim electric lights creaked and swayed on it, and the lights flickered, but compared with before, there was something more.

On the opposite side of the long corridor stood a person, a... Oriental youth, with short black hair, handsome appearance, gentle and distant smile.

"Hi," the man greeted him with a smile, "Hello."

Pei Yan was startled.

No matter where you look at it, the oriental young man in front of him looks exactly like him, even his voice is the same, and he even wears the waiter costume he wore in the last illusion.

It was so weird to see a man who looked exactly like me.

A momentary thought flashed through his mind.

"...Sea God."

he called softly, slowly but firmly.

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Tang En is a silly and sweet person, which can be seen at a glance.

When acting in the opposite role, Nishizawa also felt that the other party was definitely acting in his true colors.

The way the other party is crying with his head up, it is easy to think that crying is more emotional at certain times... Ah, just thinking about it is really unbearable.

He was a little eager to try, coughed lightly, and walked to the young man's side alone at the finale banquet.

"Hmm... Tang En?"

"Huh?" The boy raised his head obediently, his eyes flickered slightly, "Hey, it's you, Mr. Nishizawa."

Caesar smiled, "You don't need to call me like in the play... well, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, an ancient festival in the East."

"Yes." The young man looked up at the full moon, the radiance lightly sprinkled on his creamy white face.

"Hmm..." Caesar hesitated for a moment, but still decided to be firm. He bent down and whispered in the boy's ear, "I don't know... do you have time to have a drink? It's at my house."

The man's breath blew gently by the boy's ears, and the boy's earlobes soon turned red, and he stammered, "...I, I..."

"Why, don't you want to?"

"...No!" The young man raised his head in a panic, with a shy smile on his lips, "I... I am very honored."

Arthur, who was passing by, poked his head out for a curious look, and joked "Yo Ha".

So Tang En lowered his head even more embarrassedly.

Caesar gave Arthur a cool look, and comforted him: "Tang En, be good, don't worry about some pink eye diseases."

"..."

Arthur, who has not been able to date Pei Yan so far, feels an arrow in his heart.
