Xia Xiqing didn't say anything, he didn't know what he should say.

"It's great. There are only two of us tourists."

"Um……"

Zhou Ziheng had a strange problem. When he was sad, he said something messy and unbounded. This problem had long been discovered by Xia Xiqing. He was just trying to divert his attention.

"You should have heard of Schrödinger's cat," Zhou Ziheng indeed began his usual old habits again. "You must know. But in fact, everyone has misunderstandings about this theory. People always understand Schrödinger's cat as a binary choice, a or non-a, but not. It is a superposition state, which is a and not a. It is like the cat locked in a box. His state is not life or death, but life and death. Unless he opens the box to confirm, this superposition state will not collapse."

Xia Xiqing lowered her head and listened quietly to him, like a very competent listener.

"When I first learned this theory, what was my first reaction? Do you know?" He paused and did not wait for Xia Xiqing to respond. "I think that cat is so pitiful. If it were me, I would definitely not be willing to put it in, but if it was put in, I would definitely not be willing to open the box to confirm whether he had survived."

He suddenly smiled bitterly, "Sure enough, when it's my turn, I really don't dare to open it."

Xia Xiqing frowned slightly and looked up at him.

"If I don't open this box, I can pretend that he is alive and maintain the surface happiness." Zhou Ziheng licked his dry lips, "We will always be trapped in this superposition state. You may love me, maybe not, in short, no one knows the result."

"If my feelings simply stay at the level of my liking, I will be content with this superposition. As long as we are together, it is enough to be happy. I like your talent, your cunning, the charm of your eyes and eyebrows. Your shortcomings, your past, and even the ambiguity between you and others will not affect me."

Xia Xi had seen it early in the morning, but when he heard him say it with his own ear, Xia Xiqing's heart could not help but tremble.

"But no, I can't control the love, he turned into love, and then I was helpless. I began to be jealous, angry, and fearful. I hid in fear, afraid that you would find my thoughts towards you, and then kicked me away, turned around and walked to the next person, hiding until I lost my composure and couldn't continue to hide."

His emotions became heavier and heavier, making it difficult for him to speak, "You know, I have thought more than once that it would be great if you were just a lifeless thing, such as a painting, a sculpture, and become my personal property, so that I would not be afraid."

"These dark sides are so terrible that they turn me into another person." Zhou Ziheng smiled hard, "It began to torture me and forced me to torture you. I don't want to continue like this."

His footsteps were walking in the accumulated water, and the sound of the water flow echoed in the empty culvert. The ripples pushed Xia Xiqing's legs layer by layer, trying to force him to retreat.

He should retreat, he should run away.

But Xia Xiqing remained motionless.

His mind was spinning very slowly.

What does he mean if he doesn't want to continue like this...

Want to end it? Finally, I don’t want to endure it anymore.

"I want this superposition to collapse now." Zhou Ziheng stood in front of him and held his shoulders.

At this moment, Xia Xiqing actually hoped that he would be deaf and would rather not hear anything.

It turned out that he didn't dare to lift the lid.

"Xia Xiqing, I love you." The last bit of the mint sunset hit his face, and he smiled, "The box is open."

“It’s quite simple.”

This expression and tone were exactly the same as Gao Kun who forced himself to smoke.

The sunset sinks and the culvert begins to darken little by little.

Xia Xiqing still lowered his head. He didn't have the courage to say his answer. In fact, he didn't know the answer in his heart. What flashed in his mind was the past. Those hurts appeared all the time, defeating the confidence he had finally built up.

"I'm not waiting for your answer." Zhou Ziheng touched the top of his head, his tone was extremely gentle.

His hand dropped again, but was caught by Xia Xiqing. Zhou Ziheng was a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Xia Xiqing touched the ring in his left hand and was avoided by Zhou Ziheng. He raised his head, "I asked about the props, and he said that this is not a ring for Gao Kun, why do you wear it?"

"No, this is..." Zhou Ziheng's eyes dodged a little, and Xia Xiqing became more convinced that there was something wrong with it, "What are you guilty?"

"I don't." Zhou Ziheng quickly retorted, and then showed a self-deprecating expression on his face, "I don't feel guilty."

He sighed, took off the ring, spread his hands and handed it over to Xia Xiqing.

Xia Xiqing's eyes were attracted by the ring at first, but when he was about to pick it up, he saw the real answer.

The place where his ring finger was covered by the ring was tattooed with a red rose.

The pattern and pattern were drawn casually on his hands while he was asleep.

Xia Xiqing raised her head in disbelief and saw Zhou Ziheng's dodging and embarrassed eyes, "I bought this ring on the roadside to cover my tattoos. I'm afraid you'll be embarrassed when you see it, but I like this little rose and want to keep it all the time."

"I...I know you may not like me now, and you can't completely believe what I said." Zhou Ziheng looked nervous and his words became incoherent. "I can, no, I mean, can we try it? If you really don't like it, you can do it anytime..."

Before he could finish his words, his feet suddenly stepped on his feet in the accumulated water. Xia Xiqing's voice was muffled, as if he had been soaked in some blue-green potion for years.

"It's dark." Xia Xiqing looked up, his eyes bright, as if he was covered in the moonlight, "Hug me."

Zhou Ziheng was very happy, his nervous heart was almost about to explode. He hugged Xia Xiqing tightly and hugged him firmly, as if he was afraid that he would regret it, "You, what you mean..."

"Probation period." Xia Xiqing buried her head in Zhou Ziheng's shoulder, "I may return the goods anytime, anywhere, is this OK?"

"Yes!" Zhou Ziheng was as happy as a child, and he almost cried, "Of course, of course."

Seeing him so happy, Xia Xiqing began to doubt himself again, "I may still not be able to overcome it. I have never really fallen in love with others..."
