The snowstorm outside the window intensified, and there was a slight knocking sound from the closed windows.

Lu Yuxing pursed his lips, feeling a little hard to say about Tang Xingguo's question.

The word "suicide" is so easy to be caught up in the wind, so that speaking it out has become a subconscious way of avoiding it.

But compared to this emotion, Lu Yuxing was more concerned about what Tang Tang was hiding.

"Why did you say 'Me and Tang Tang'?" He asked Tang Xingguo, "I didn't know him at that time, let alone know about him."

Tang Xingguo showed a look of surprise, "...you don't know him?"

"Yes." Lu Yuxing said frankly, "Maybe we have met him before, but I really don't know him." He lay on the wooden chair, the hard back of the chair pressed to the bruise on his back, and he felt a dull pain. .

"Then talk about yourself first," Tang Xingguo said.

Lu Yuxing took a deep breath, and said calmly: "At that time I was sick, a disease that could not be cured. I lived in pain every day, so I didn't plan to live anymore."

After the words fell, Tang Xingguo suddenly became angry.

Holding the crutch, he slammed it heavily on the ground, and said angrily: "...you!" The old man squeezed his trembling fingers tightly together, "Do you know what you are doing!"

"I know." Lu Yuxing didn't understand why he was angry, "At that time, my parents were gone, and I had no children or lover. My choice didn't drag anyone down."

He glanced at Tang Xingguo calmly, and met his cloudy and angry eyes.

"I'd rather die with dignity than live like a madman with no dignity."

"You...do you really think that you haven't dragged anyone down?" Tang Xingguo stood up, paced back and forth, his hoarse voice raised a little, "If Tang Tang hadn't died, why would you come back here!"

Lu Yuxing froze for a moment, and the calmness on his face disappeared instantly.

"What do you mean?"

His brain was running fast, and he vaguely grasped the point.

After a long while, Lu Yuxing opened his eyes wide, and stood up in disbelief, "You mean...if there are conditions for turning back time...the conditions can only be met if both Tang Tang and I die?"

As he spoke, he stood up and walked to Tang Xingguo.

"So I can come back here, Tang Tang also died once?"

"is not it?"

Faced with Lu Yuxing's questioning, Tang Xingguo's breathing became more and more rapid, and his wrinkled face began to flush.He wanted to say something, but an extremely hoarse inhalation sound came out of his mouth, like a bellows being pulled, so he could only hit the ground a few times with his crutches heavily.

Aunt Zhang upstairs heard the movement, and immediately came over with a water glass and a medicine bottle.

Tang Xingguo fell down on the sofa, Lu Yuxing immediately supported him, took the water cup and medicine from Aunt Zhang's hand, and let him take it.

"What were you talking about just now?" Aunt Zhang looked at Tang Xingguo anxiously, and said to Lu Yuxing, "Master has a heart attack, so don't say anything too irritating to him!"

Tang Xingguo took the medicine with tea, and after a while, he finally managed to catch his breath.

He coughed violently twice, and Aunt Zhang quickly stepped forward to relieve him.Tang Xingguo waved his hand and asked her to go back to her room to rest first.

"I'll have a good talk with Xiao Lu, it's okay." His voice was hoarse, and tears flowed down the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. "You take a break and go prepare food." He glanced at the clock on the wall, "There are still two hours, and Tangtang will be back."

Aunt Zhang quickly agreed, gave Lu Yuxing a worried look, and left the living room.

The wind and snow outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, Lu Yuxing got up and lit the tranquilizing incense in the living room, and sat back on the sofa.

"Hey..." Tang Xingguo sighed, "Tang Tang, what is the reason for..." He was hunched over, holding a cane with two skinny hands, and the clothes on his body couldn't support his skinny frame. .

"Tang Tang promised me that he will tell me all the truth when we arrive in Niagara." Lu Yuxing also calmed down and slowed down his tone, "I believe he will tell me everything."

"Do you believe it?" Tang Xingguo glanced at him, smiled and shook his head. "He has been very shrewd since he was a child. If he is willing to tell you all the truth, why did he sneak away to Northern Europe by himself?"

Lu Yuxing was blocked by his words.

"I think even if he wants to confess to you, he won't tell everything." Tang Xingguo took a long breath, leaned on the back of the sofa, and stretched for a while, "Forget it, let me tell you."

He sighed, took out a stack of design drawings from the coffee table drawer, and threw it on the table.

Lu Yuxing looked intently and found that it was a design drawing of a pocket watch.The cover of the pocket watch in the picture has exquisite hollow patterns, it is the one in the photo that Bai Zhi showed him.

"This is a work commemorating your wife," Lu Yuxing said without hesitation, "Is this why Tang Tang went to Northern Europe?"

"Are you investigating me?" Tang Xingguo frowned slightly. "No, what I made is just an imitation of 'it'. The one Tang Tang got at the bank is the one that is really useful."

He leaned forward, stood up on crutches, and walked to the window.

"I don't know what it's called, my father called it wisteria..." Tang Xingguo stood in front of the window, looking at the heavy snow falling outside the window, "This thing, as long as you are dying, use the Tang family's 'Death' turns it on correctly, the second hand starts to turn, time is reversed, and life and death start all over again."

Lu Yuxing looked at his back, feeling a little unbelievable.

"The two people who turned on him will return to the 'past' with the memory of the 'future', thereby changing the original trajectory of life."

Tang Xingguo turned around, his eyes were hidden in the sunken eye sockets, and he couldn't see his emotions clearly.He seemed to think of something from the past, and his voice became ethereal.

"Until the time when you step into it again..." he said calmly, "At that time, if you are still alive, the second hand will stop rotating, and time will continue to go to the future."

"What if one person dies?" Lu Yuxing asked.

"As long as someone is alive." Tang Xingguo reiterated, "It won't distort time again." He paused, "However, if the two people who turned it on are dead..."

"Time will go back to the 'past' again until someone walks out of this backward time alive."

It was cold and windy outside, and the open fire in the fireplace kept burning, but Lu Yuxing felt cold all over.

After his death, he returned to 20 years ago.Tang Xingguo didn't say anything, but Lu Yuxing understood what it meant.

A trip back in time must be exchanged for the "death" of the holder.

When Lu Yuxing thought of the figure who broke into the house secretly and wiped away tears while cleaning up the mess, Lu Yuxing's heart was pulled hard.

"Tang Tang for me..."

He pursed his lips and struggled to find a suitable word, "I sacrificed myself. Is that so?"

"This is my guess." Tang Xingguo said, "He opened the pocket watch with 'death' and brought you back to the present."

"But I don't have any contact with him," Lu Yuxing still found it inconceivable, "Why would he do such a thing for me? I don't understand."

Tang Xingguo looked at the bright red flames in the fireplace, remained silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "This is the first time you have encountered such a thing?"

Lu Yuxing was stunned for a while, then nodded firmly.

"Then we have to ask him." Tang Xingguo sighed, and walked slowly to the front of the stairs, "Wait for Tang Tang to come back. Didn't you say that he will tell you everything?"

"I trust him." Lu Yuxing said.

Tang Xingguo smiled wryly.He didn't let Lu Yuxing support him, and walked upstairs slowly by himself. "Then let's see if he will confess everything to you."

The lights on the stairs came on suddenly, and Tang Xingguo looked sideways at Lu Yuxing behind him.

"However, no matter whether he confesses to you or not," he said seriously, "I will not agree with you to be together."

"Why?" Lu Yuxing frowned.

"I just want him to be healthy and safe forever." He said, "If you are together, the future will only be bad luck."
