After midnight

Ye turned his head away reluctantly, and Wu also turned his head away.

Yin went forward and grabbed Lin Nuan's arm, trying to pull her up, but he didn't. Instead, he saw Lin Nuan's eyes were red and her face was full of tears. After he saw Lin Nuan exposed herself naked in front of him without any defense, Lin Nuan bit her lower lip stubbornly, trying to hold back her tears.

Yin had never thought that red was so eye-catching.

"I'm not Lu Li or Anyan, but you can cry." Yin also knelt down and held Lin Nuan's hand tightly. The two of them were in an awkward position.

Hearing this, Lin Nuan seemed to be unable to hold back any longer. She raised her head and burst into tears, her tears were as heart-wrenching as a cuckoo crying blood. She cried and cried until she was about to pass out. While crying, she pulled her arms away from Yin's hands and hugged her parents. Her parents, Lin Yaoyue and Jiang Yu held hands tightly together.

Lin Nuan's skirt was soaked in blood, and Yin couldn't tell the two colors apart for a moment.

"Yin." Ye called him. Yin knew that Lu Lang and Lu Li were coming soon.

"Lin Nuan, I will come to you in three days. If you want revenge, listen to me."

Instantly, Lin Nuan raised her head, her eyes reflecting overwhelming hatred. Yin felt the same way as Lin Nuan, but Lin Nuan was lucky because she wouldn't have to wait too long.

Lin Yaoyue and Jiang Yu, who were leaning on each other in Lin Nuan's arms, bowed deeply in the Yin Dynasty, and then left with their group.

"A Nuan!" Not long after, Lu Lang and Lu Li arrived. Lu Li looked at the scene in front of him with fear, and then hugged Lin Nuan desperately. Lu Li hugged her, closed his eyes and shed tears. He felt so distressed for his A Nuan. But at the same time, Lu Li was desperate because he knew he would never have the chance to make Lin Nuan fall in love with him again.

Lin Nuan let him hug her, her eyes were red and swollen, and there was no life in them.

Lu Lang fell back in disbelief, he clenched his fists and closed his eyes reluctantly. Don't worry, Brother Lin, your blood will not be shed in vain. As for Lin Nuan, whom you miss the most... From now on, the entire Lu Group will be her strongest backing!

The wind is about to blow...Jiudu is about to be hit by a storm. Inside the Jiumen, Yang Runzhong angrily waved his sleeves, swept the documents on the desk, and his eyes were red.

"Prince Jiu, Lu Lang wants to see you... and Lin Nuan, who is dressed in black and has a white flower on her head."

Lu Lang and Lin Nuan walked in. Lin Nuan hung her head and remained silent. Lu Lang stepped forward and got straight to the point. "Prime Minister Jiu, I only want one thing from you today. No matter what our Lu Group does, you must remain neutral."

Lu Lang spoke passionately and painfully. Lin Nuan raised her head at this time, with a sad and empty look in her eyes. Yang Runzhong couldn't help but glance at Lin Nuan a few times, feeling very sympathetic. He had a good personal relationship with Lin Yaoyue, and he had watched Lin Nuan grow up, so he couldn't bear it.

Finally, he turned his head away, closed his eyes helplessly, and nodded. He did not expect Song Hongtian to be so rampant, and the bloody storm came in such a tragic way.

After getting Yang Runzhong's reply, Lu Lang turned around and left without any hesitation.

"Father." Lin Nuan said after going out the door.

"Ah Nuan, listen to me. Although Yang Runzhong's style has always been neutral and he is stirring up trouble for both sides, don't think I'm talking nonsense. This actually means that no matter what we do in the future, we will have an explanation."

Lin Nuan nodded, her face a little pale.

"A Nuan, you and Lu Li should leave Jiudu as soon as possible and go to Xindu to unite with the revolutionary army."

"Revolutionary Army? Doing this..."

"Don't worry, Xindu is also part of Jiuguo. The Revolutionary Army has no political power, so of course it will be controlled by Jiu Xiang. Just say that Jiu Xiang's power is threatened and the Revolutionary Army must be cleared of power."

"And you, father?"

"I must stay here to cooperate with the outside world. Don't worry, Song Hongtian will never dare to touch me, and your uncle Lu Xian will also help you in Xidu."

"I see."

This short conversation was unfathomable. The storm hanging in the sky was finally about to merge into one dark mass.

Later, around dusk that day, An Yan's phone rang with the long-lost tone of a text message. The message was unsigned, and contained only four words, indicating an urgent situation.

An Yan looked at it and put the phone back in silence. Coming from that world requires following the rule of twenty-four days, but it is not the case here. You can use the spirit stone to travel through it at any time.

The next morning, An Yan woke up. He did something he would never do before. He sat up, opened the drawer, and looked at his phone. Sure enough, a text message was lying there alone.

"We were asked to go back tonight."

An Yan held the phone and looked up into the air. His eyes were floating and had no focus. But he just sat there, motionless, as if time had been frozen. What was supposed to come finally came.

"Wow~ An Yan, today's breakfast is so rich." Su Ziling was very surprised after returning home. He picked up a piece of golden fried egg and stuffed it into his mouth, biting it until his mouth was bulging.

"Yes, Dad. Today's porridge smells so good." Xiao Su sniffed hard.

"Really?" An Yan said. After walking out of the room, it seemed that life went on as usual. Xiao Su went to school after dinner, and when Su Zi was tired of studying, he went to play basketball and go to the coffee shop that had a different meaning to him.

An Yan always has something to do. He seizes the last bit of time and makes every day interesting, and these interesting things belong to him alone.

A week later, in the early morning, Su Ziling got up early as usual to go to Lu Xun Park. Nothing had changed until he returned home.

Xiao Su's eyes flashed with surprise and expectation the moment Su Ziling opened the door, but when she saw that Su Ziling was the only one there, she immediately ran over and asked, "Isn't Dad with you?"

"No, isn't he at home? What happened to An Yan?" Su Ziling was confused, not knowing why Xiao Su was so anxious.

"Dad is not at home. He was not at home when I woke up." Xiao Su frowned, his tone full of anxiety, and a hint of fear and grievance.

When Su Ziling entered the house, he first glanced at the empty dining table and kitchen, then turned around and opened An Yan's bedroom, and finally went straight to the bathroom. During this time, Xiao Su followed behind him, step by step.

Finally, Su Ziling closed the bathroom door, turned around quickly and wanted to go out, but quickly turned back. He saw the watch on his wrist showed that it was 7:20. "Well, Xiao Su, let's go out for dinner first, and then I'll take you to school. An Yan may have something wrong, but I promise you that we will find him and he will be back."

"it is good."

"Don't worry, go pack your schoolbag."

Xiao Su lowered his head and went to get his schoolbag.

Su Ziling was talking and laughing all the way, making Xiao Su laugh while trying to ignore the uneasiness in his heart. He waved his hand and sent Xiao Su inside, and when he was sure that Xiao Su couldn't see him when she looked back, he quickly lowered his head and hurried home.

An Yan didn't bring his cell phone, but all his things were neatly arranged, with books spread out on the desk and the cactus on the balcony. Su Ziling breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe An Yan really had something urgent to do.

But the next second, an ominous thought suddenly exploded in his mind, sweeping through his internal organs like thunder. His face turned pale, and he walked quickly back to his bedroom. He stayed at the old wooden table in his room for a while, then held his breath and reached out to open the drawer below.

The drawer was empty. It was gone. Panicked, he reached in and felt around again. It was empty. The spiritual stone that could allow them to travel back in time was gone.

An Yan went back alone, abandoning Su Ziling and An Xiaosu.

What should I do? Su Ziling's mind was in a mess. He had to take Xiao Su back first. No, no! He sat there for a while, took a deep breath and calmed down.

After an unknown amount of time, he took out his cell phone and said in a trembling voice, "Mom, please come back from the United States as soon as possible. I'm going back to Shanghai now. By the way, where did you put the spiritual stone you brought with you when you came here...Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

Su Ziling hung up the phone, booked two high-speed train tickets back to Shanghai at around 1:00 a.m., and started packing. He stuffed the notes An Yan had left for him on the table into his schoolbag, picked up the basketball and put it down again.

Half an hour later, Su Ziling went to a coffee shop. Yang Kewei was very surprised. Why did he come so early? But the smile in her bright eyes soon disappeared. Something was wrong with Su Ziling. He was panicking. He was trying his best to tense his nerves, as if he was facing a great enemy.

Su Ziling ordered a cup of coffee as usual. He sat there quietly, staring at the coffee in a daze.

Will I see you again tomorrow? Su Ziling came to say goodbye. Yang Kewei vaguely guessed it. After thinking for a moment, she wrote this sentence.

Su Ziling was stunned for a moment, "I'm leaving this afternoon, I hope we can come back again."

Come back when you want to play, you are always welcome. Yang Kewei felt a little disappointed, she wrote.

"Okay." Su Ziling looked up and smiled, then left the coffee shop to pick up Xiao Su from school. He left the cup of coffee untouched.

Su Ziling suddenly came to pick her up at this time. Although he didn't say anything, Xiao Su immediately understood everything. She lowered her head and let Su Ziling hold her hand and walk forward.

An Xiaosu turned her head away and secretly wiped her tears. She thought that Su Ziling would not notice it, but how could he not notice it? Su Ziling squatted down and tried to straighten her body and say something, but Xiaosu suddenly broke down. She sobbed and cried with her mouth wide open, tears streaming down her face.

Su Ziling awkwardly held her in his arms and patted her back. "Xiao Su, let's go back to Shanghai. I'll find a way to get back. We have to find that bastard and ask him face to face."

"...Okay..." Xiao Su was crying so hard that she couldn't speak. She could only pronounce the word "Okay" in a halting manner.

Su Ziling wiped the tears from her face, and they quickly returned home. Su Ziling had actually packed almost everything, and he didn't have much to take with him. He just looked at the windowsill, picked up the cactus and put it down, put it down and picked it up again, back and forth, over and over again.

"Brother Ling, I've packed it."

"Okay, let's go."

Su Ziling put his hand on the doorknob and the door slowly closed. He didn't take the cactus with him after all. He stared deeply at every object in the room, trying to memorize the outline of every object.

The door finally closed, covering up those beautiful days and not letting them move forward even for a second. The high-speed train left Qingdao, and the past will never come back.

Su Ziling opened the door of his home in Shanghai, feeling a little dazed. It had only been less than a month, but the house was already a little cold.

"Xiao Su, my parents are still on their way back. They may not be able to arrive tonight. I promise you that we will catch up with them tomorrow night. Let's pack up and go to bed tonight, okay?"

Xiao Su didn't know what to say and could only nod obediently.

After midnight, a new day arrived. Su Ziling sat on the bed and looked at Xiao Su who was lying in bed and refused to close his eyes. He patted her gently through the quilt and said softly, "Go to sleep."

"Brother Ling." Xiao Su's mouth moved and he looked at him eagerly.

"Okay, I'll sleep with you tonight, go to sleep."

"Okay." Xiao Su watched Su Ziling lift a corner of the quilt and climb up, then he closed his eyes.

The night was all around, and it was so quiet that there was no sound at all. It was already very late. Su Ziling looked at Xiao Su's long breathing and lost all desire to sleep.

He carefully looked at Xiao Su's sleeping face, and seemed to understand An Yan's behavior a little. However, he still couldn't forgive him. After seeing the sadness, panic and patience in Xiao Su's eyes, how could he bear to abandon her again?

It was late at night, and Su Ziling fell asleep while thinking. Suddenly, Su Ziling woke up again. He heard the sound of the door lock turning. It was around five o'clock in the morning, and Su Ziling had only slept for less than two hours.

He sat up, carefully lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He opened the bedroom door, and his parents appeared in front of him. Su Ziling suddenly felt a little sad, "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry for asking you to rush back overnight."

"What are you talking about? Go lie down and sleep for a while. I can tell you didn't get much sleep by looking at you like this." Mother Su couldn't help nagging him.

"Yes, it's never too late to talk about anything in the morning."

"Yes, Mom and Dad, you should get some rest as well."

When Su Ziling returned to his room, he saw Xiao Su standing barefoot on the cold floor, waiting for him. Su Ziling picked her up and put her on the bed, pulling back the quilt for her, "Xiao Su, sleep a little longer. We can go back when it's daybreak and dark again."

"Yeah." Xiao Su moved inside and motioned Su Ziling to lie down as well. Su Ziling lay down obediently. This time, he just stared blankly for a while, and then fell asleep with the background sound of his parents walking back and forth in the living room.

The next morning, Su Ziling woke up to find a small black iron box at the head of his bed. Su Ziling had seen that small box when he was a child. At that time, there was a lock on the outside of the box. He fiddled with it out of curiosity, but couldn't open it. After that, the box disappeared inexplicably.

Children have a short memory, but when Su Ziling saw the box, he remembered everything in an instant. He opened it and took out the yellow-brown stone with black spots.

This is Lingshi. Su Ziling hurriedly put on his slippers and went to look for his father and mother. Standing in the living room, he could hear the mixed sounds of the kitchen range hood and cooking.

"Mom." Su's mother turned off the fire, walked over and took out the empty box from Su Ziling's hand.

"Mom, believe me, I will definitely come back. Remember I said I would bring my brother back with me?"

"Remember, of course I believe it." Mother Su said with a smile. Even if she was extremely reluctant and had many selfish motives, she couldn't open her mouth. How could she bear to embarrass her child?

"Mom, I'm hungry." Su Ziling opened his arms and hugged his mother and acted coquettishly.

Midnight arrived quickly. As soon as it passed, two figures disappeared from the Su family's living room in an instant, leaving only two sighs.
