Original God Zhongli BG Xiao Qinglong traveled through time

On this day, Lin Huan was busy all day in the Government Affairs Hall accompanying Mr. Zhongli. He did not go anywhere else during this time. At most, he just returned home briefly and talked with his brother about going out the next day.

"Appoint Rong Zhao..." Hu Xingzhi said softly, "Is this... appropriate?"

"Well... I want to ask him to go out for a walk together to relax." Lin Huan nodded, "But, not today, we will leave tomorrow."

"Yes." Hu Xingzhi smiled and said, "Then you should be careful when you go out and pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry... I know what's going on."

After comforting her brother and saying hello to her father, Lin Huan turned and walked out the door, returning towards the palace. She didn't want to go anywhere today. She only wanted to stay by his side, to protect him and tell him that she was always there.

Earlier, Mr. Zhongli's condition had really worried her. Although he was always calm and composed, and strong enough to make everyone around him feel at ease, as if no situation could disturb his mind, just as King Ryota said in his legendary mission 2, he had the most resolute soul in the world. However, she could sense that at that moment, Mr. Zhongli was exhausted and in great pain. He seemed to be half a beat slower and extremely tired. That must be the so-called wear and tear imposed on the soul by the law of nature, which could not be eliminated or reversed, slowly and continuously eroding itself, and eventually uncontrollably forgetting the original intention, and even forgetting the contract that had been made, running counter to the original ambition.

This was the first time she had faced the pain that wear and tear brought to an important person at such close range. It was so clear, yet it made her helpless and panic-stricken. She understood that he had always relied on his firm will to fight against this kind of existence. Over the years, he had experienced the separation of old friends, the passage of time, the changes in the world, and several changes, but he was as steadfast as a rock.

Lin Huan's eyes were red, but she raised her head slightly to prevent the tears from falling. He had been insisting, so she didn't want to show any weakness in front of him, so as not to add more pressure to him. If possible, she would like to be the one who would never leave him. He wanted to protect Liyue, and she wanted to protect her family as well as him. She was so greedy and overestimated her own abilities.

On the way back to Yiyan Palace, she walked extremely slowly, as if she had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, endless years, from one world to another, and finally came in front of him.

How can I not be happy to see a gentleman? He was so gentle, unique in this world. He allowed me to walk beside him. Whenever she thought of this, tears would well up in her eyes.

A low and soft voice called out from the front. Lin Huan looked up and saw the person at the desk was no longer busy and was looking at her intently.

She smiled, her steps became lighter, she walked forward, came to his side, and asked, "Sir, are you looking for me?"

"Hmm..." Zhongli nodded slightly, reached out to touch her head, and asked softly, "You're not leaving today?"

"Yeah..." Lin Huan blinked and smiled, "I'll accompany you today and I won't go anywhere."

Mr. Zhongli lowered his eyes, "You don't come to Yiyan Palace often, so you must not be too restrained here... To be honest, I also feel more relaxed seeing you outside of Yiyan Palace."

"I know..." Lin Huan tilted his head and smiled, "But I know that you are busy with government affairs on weekdays, and you don't have much time to come out to see me and my father for tea and chat. So my father and I hope that you can relax and feel comfortable in this rare leisure time, and not think about those heavy and complicated things. And I just want to be with you. It's rare for you to come out, so I want to come to you more often and see you. Even if I don't do anything, just accompany you to handle government affairs, it is enough."

After hearing this, Zhongli smiled and sighed: "It's really hard for you, you...are so accommodating to me...Alas, forget it."

Lin Huan shook his head and looked up. "Sir, you are too kind... I, I just want to see you, I just miss you..."

The pair of amber eyes suddenly drooped slightly, avoiding Lin Huan's sight, and then reached out and held her hand, "Sit with me... for a while..."

He cleverly avoided Lin Huan's words and remained silent.

“Ah Huan, have you ever heard of an excerpt? A grand performance without a beginning or an end. And now, we are also in such an excerpt. The beginning of the story is unknown, absurd and meaningless, and the ending is unknown. I don’t know how lonely it will be after the end of the song... Only the joys and sorrows with the people in the process, those touching and tender moments walking with you are real. Only the years I have spent with Liyue are real... You, you... are real. But Ah Huan... I’m sorry..."

Zhongli's voice rang out in the empty study, accompanied by the rustling sound of leaves in the breeze outside the window, making it seem particularly desolate and quiet.

"Ahuan, I..." Zhongli held her hand tightly and pulled her into his arms.

He wanted to continue saying something, but he opened his mouth and swallowed it back, and finally let out a faint sigh, "...Forgive me..."

This hug came unexpectedly, but it was also very touching.

Lin Huan leaned on his shoulder, remained silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Mr. Zhongli, I understand. You don't have to say it. I understand everything."

"At least, we all really exist by your side, whether they are still alive or gone, they all really existed in your past life. Even if we can only trace the past time in our memories, it is still worth remembering, isn't it?" Lin Huan closed his eyes, speaking softly and soothingly, "Let the future think about it. When we get closer, there will be a solution... There must be a way out when the car reaches the mountain, right? As for the things that have passed, let them stay in the past, just as you have always believed; and cherish what you have now, take it seriously, hold on to it tightly, and don't let it slip away from your hands... For the time being, this is enough. Don't let the present become a regret, but regret it in the future."

"That's what I thought, and I suddenly figured it out..." Lin Huan smiled softly, "I quietly told Mr. Zhongli that Uncle Hu... is my father, and Brother Xingzhi is my elder brother. I don't want to wait until I lose the future before I feel regret and pain."

Yes, no matter what will happen in the future, at least, at this moment, they are lucky enough to be together like this. She wanted to tell him that this beauty was given by him.

"We will always be together, no matter what happens in the future... at least at this moment, I have no regrets."
