That night, Luo Xingyi, who had an excellent sleep quality, finally didn't fall asleep for most of the night.On the one hand, he was anxious about seeing his parents again, and on the other hand, he was concerned about how to respond to Qu Lin's bewilderment. He tossed and turned until it was almost five o'clock in the morning before he fell asleep and woke up again before seven o'clock.

Thanks to Luo Xingyi's energy, he didn't feel tired even if he didn't sleep all night, and he was a hero after getting up and taking a shower with a low temperature.

After washing up, he ordered breakfast in the housekeeping system, checked the itinerary sent by the female officer, and then walked through the living room and knocked on the door of Qu Lin's room opposite.

As far as Qu Lin is concerned, he is good at everything, but he has a living habit that does not conform to his personality - he doesn't like to get up early.He can stay up all night, but he will definitely not get up early in the morning. Anyone who dares to wake him up before seven o'clock will be courting death.

Looking at the time, Luo Xingyi bent his knuckles and tapped twice, but there was no response, and then listened to the sound in the room, it was very quiet, thinking that Qu Linfare was going to a meeting of cultivators and didn't sleep until midnight?

What he didn't know was that Qu Lin in the room got up very early today uncharacteristically, and just ended the call with Ye Yingxun a minute ago. At this moment, he was looking at the knocked door, and there was something indescribable in his expression.

From the day when Ouyang Ying awakened him unintentionally, Qu Lin had been thinking about his feelings for many days and considered a lot about the future.Now he was finally able to fully confirm his intentions, and he was finally able to answer the question Ye Yingxun asked a long time ago about what Luo Xingyi meant to him.

Instead, Professor Ye, who had been watching the show and encouraging the two to be together, suddenly took a big step back: "Brother, shouldn't we go through the procedure? You should doubt your sexuality anyway! Well, even if you don't feel sexual It's a question, but... have you really thought about it? Qu Lin."

Qu Lin said: "I have gone through a long period of full, comprehensive, and careful consideration, and the answer has always been 'yes', no joke. Besides, I am just telling you this fact, without any intention of asking your opinion."

Ye Yingxun then asked: "Then what if Luo Xingyi can't accept your feelings? How long are you going to give?"

"Until he doesn't need any help from me." Qu Lin added, "Or, when my feelings become his burden and trouble him."

"What if he never knew?"

"Then I don't know."

When facing Ye Yingxun, Qu Linneng confessed that he liked Luo Xingyi very much.It's not the kind of ambiguous goodwill that can dissipate at any time, but a clear and burning emotion.

He can also answer every question calmly and calmly.

Hearing Luo Xingyi's knock on the door at this moment, his well-organized rational thoughts and calmness were replaced by a cautious hesitation.To make matters worse, as soon as Luo Xingyi's voice was heard, those beautiful dreams from last night rushed back from his memory, and he began to stir up trouble, trying to capture the brain and occupy the high ground of reason.

He watched it for five seconds before walking over and opening the door.

As soon as the door opened, Luo Xingyi, who was raising his hand to knock again, took a face-to-face photo with Qu Lin.

Because he wanted to meet his elders, Luo Xingyi dressed very formally and neatly today, suppressing all the casual arrogance, and even buttoned his shirt cuffs neatly.On the contrary, Qu Linxiang, who is serious and dignified on weekdays, just took a shower, and his hair was still a little wet and he didn't have time to dry it.

The two looked at each other for two seconds, Luo Xingyi took the initiative to speak, and smiled slightly: "You're already up, just in time, it's time for breakfast."

Qu Lin was dazzled by Luo Xingyi's smiling face before him, and replied "Morning." He couldn't help thinking of the dream from last night.

In the dream, Luo Xingyi was sitting by the edge of a blue pool. His complexion was extremely fair, and he was dressed in bright white clothes, like a light cloud in the sky.Between the brows and the collarbone is the green lake light, the lips are light in color, and the way she smiles is a seductive and bewitching beauty.

"The milk served here is fresh milk. I don't know if you like the taste here, but I ordered a cup for you." Luo Xingyi was only opened the door to the new world last night, pretending not to say anything, He didn't know much about it yet, and he didn't pay attention to Qu Lin's little distraction.

As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the restaurant, "Breakfast will be delivered in about a minute, let's sit down first. By the way, take Wangshu away today, I won't take it to meet people , so as not to cause complications."

Qu Lin walked behind Luo Xingyi, raised his hand and pressed the center of his eyebrows, cleared out the unspeakable images in his mind that were as raging as a flood, and went to have a good breakfast.

Because the two have different schedules, they will not act together today.Luo Xingyi wants to follow Ji Shuyao to meet his parents and Xu Yan and find out the truth of what happened back then; while Qu Lin has already found out the recent appearance of the "black hole" clue person, so he has to visit Xicheng.

After having breakfast together, the two of them split into two groups to resolve matters at both ends.

Luo Xingyi originally agreed with Ji Shuyao at nine o'clock in the morning, but neither of them had the habit of being late or pressing to the scene, one arrived earlier than the other.

Ji Shuyao, who was already waiting under the tree, saw Luo Xingyi's arrival, and took a good look at his attire. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he casually asked him if he had breakfast.After getting the answer, it seemed that I had finished talking about the old things yesterday, and I had nothing to say, so I set off early.

The imperial palace is located in the north of the holy city, and today they are going to the west of the valley. Not to mention passing through the city, they have to walk a section of mountain road.

Because Dai Liming still had things to deal with, today only Ji Shuyao and Luo Xingyi were in the same car, plus the driver, there were three people in the spacious car.But apart from the sound of breathing, there was no sound at all.

Luo Xingyi seemed to have guessed the not-so-good result from Ji Shuyao's too obvious hesitation yesterday and today's expression of no joy or expectation, but he didn't dare to ask the question thoroughly, and kept crossing his hands. On the knees of his legs, he watched the ever-changing scenery outside the window without saying a word.

And Ji Shuyao leaned on the back of the seat, propped her head and fell silent halfway.

It wasn't until the car drove out of the holy city towards the west hills that she gradually opened her mouth as if she was reminiscing about the past and telling a story: "It was really a mistake when I found Taoyuan."

"After the 'Moon Palace' accident, most of the people died, and the rest of us were divided into several factions. At that time, some life-threatening things happened, and it was such a doomsday outside. I still want to follow me The few brothers of my family kept their names incognito... It’s not really a good deal, but it’s been a few years since my birthday.”

Hearing Ji Shuyao speak, Luo Xingyi slowly shifted his gaze back from the window to Ji Shuyao's face.

The happy things were finished yesterday, so what is left for today?

"One year the weather was abnormal and extremely cold, and many people went south. Liming and I met Uncle Xu and Uncle Luo in the team going south. Indeed, we parted ways because of unhappiness before, but when we met again, At that time, it was difficult for everyone to protect themselves. After a few years, the small grievances have long been turned over, and we continued to act and cooperate together.

Later, when we came to this southwest mountain, we accidentally discovered that none of the local aborigines turned into zombies!This miraculous flower of grace can actually block the footsteps of the 'sunset', so they simply set up camp here.

In less than two years, we have almost established a small climate and established a formal base to protect the people who have taken refuge.Because we have too many enemies, we dare not reveal our identities at will, so we all changed their appearances and started living in this semi-closed base..."

Ji Shuyao's tone has always been steady, like a narration of a story from a long, long time ago, staying out of the way.

She sighed, frowned and said, "Xing Yi, sometimes I really envy you. You can lie there unconsciously and sleep for more than 20 years. You have never seen that kind of doomsday." And the sights of war—something you never want to see."

However, she didn't pause for long to express her feelings outside the topic, and continued to talk about the past: "After the establishment of our Taoyuan base, management was the biggest problem. People from all over the world gathered together. Many, no matter what you do, you can’t do anything. The larger the scale, the more problems will be exposed, including the internal differences among the managers. At the beginning, Taoyuan was created by me, Liming, Xu Shuluo and two other people...the two Individual." When Ji Shuyao said this, she suddenly covered her mouth and smiled, it was ridicule, it was sarcasm.

"Xing Yi, you are a history student. You should be very clear about what it was like when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was established and then collapsed, right? History is always like this, without any progress."

It seemed that it was just for entertainment and boredom in the car, so she picked some random words to this point, Ji Shuyao didn't have any more to say, so she stopped and sat there quietly, waiting for the stop at the destination.

The car continued on.

The mountain to the west of the valley is said to be a treasure land of geomantic omen. Because of the blowing of the southeast monsoon and the southwest monsoon, it is warm like spring all year round, and the mountains are full of verdant green.

But such a good place of geomantic omen, no city was built at the foot of the mountain, only a whitewashed glass villa was built near the mountainside, hiding in this mountain in a clean and secluded way.

At the foot of the mountain, there are a few sparsely populated families, very simple, living a life of chopping firewood and burning charcoal.Although simple and rural, it has added a lot of fireworks to this mountain.

To be honest, Luo Xingyi was afraid that Ji Shuyao would take him directly to the cemetery in a car to sweep the tomb. He clasped his fingers and didn't dare to make a sound.

Now that he saw the villa that was considered to be inhabited, he felt as if a person who had been dull at the bottom of the water had finally surfaced and came alive again. It was not so cold, and he felt that the heart was indeed still beating and pumping blood.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a night of rain last night, the sky was clear, the air was very fresh, and the thin mist lingered in the mountains and flowed slowly.

The mountain road is a well-repaired stone road with one step at a time. It is not clean after it rains, but it is still easy to walk.

Ji Shuyao got out of the car, but without anyone helping her, she sent the driver to stop and wait, and walked steadily up the cobblestone road step by step.Luo Xingyi followed her step by step, carefully guarding against her slippery feet, seeing that her footsteps were much heavier than before, he couldn't help being in a daze.

She is getting old after all.

"Luo Xingyi." Ji Shuyao suddenly said, "One night is enough, I think you should be ready to face any result. If not, then continue to do it now."

Luo Xingyi asked her: "The arrangement in the itinerary is that we will meet Xu Yan first and then my parents. Why is it in this order?"

Ji Shuyao laughed silently. She didn't look back, so Luo Xingyi couldn't see her smile, but could only hear her voice: "It's to take care of your feelings. If you can't accept it for the time being, you can still have a chance to stop .”

Why can't he accept it? Luo Xingyi didn't continue to ask.

The two walked through this section of the mountain road one after the other, and came to the front of the villa, and were greeted by the staff who had been waiting there.

Inside the villa, the decoration is very safe, the layout is simple, the paths are not complicated, and there are hardly any sharp corners and sharp objects.

The staff members are all low-browed, with soft voices, wearing uniform white uniforms, and the picture of shuttling back and forth in the white courtyard is like a fairyland in the clouds.

Surrounded by everyone, Ji Shuyao said to Luo Xingyi: "Uncle Xu is getting old, and he suffered a serious brain injury ten years ago, so he can't remember much. I specially arranged for him to be taken care of here."

As she spoke, she asked someone to lead the way to the yard, and took a shortcut through a room.

Then as soon as Luo Xingyi stepped out of the door, he just stood on the wooden floor with his front feet, when he saw Xu Yan in the yard wearing a comfortable white dress and sitting on a rattan chair looking at flowers.

He slumped on the chair motionless, obviously there was only one back view, but for some reason, Luo Xingyi recognized him at a glance.

Across the entire pond courtyard.

If the middle-aged Xu Yan is an old fritter who has been troubled by hair loss for many years, then he can finally not worry about it now because he has no hair to fall off.

The head with few hairs left looks like an aged marinated egg that has been vacuum-packed from the back, and it is not delicious at first glance.

Luo Xingyi walked over gently, afraid of disturbing his old man's pleasure of watching flowers, he stopped a few steps away from him, and took a good look at him.

Because his appearance has not changed, before meeting Ji Shuyao, the 24 years of disappearance were more like a short dream to Luo Xingyi, very unreal.

But at this moment, Ji Shuyao's footsteps became heavier, Xu Yan also lost weight, and his skin was wrinkled, piled up at the place where the back of his head connected to his neck, layer by layer, forming a look he had never seen before.

How long can a person's life be?Not much, just a hundred years.

Xu Yan is over sixty years old, he is old.

"Uncle Xu..." Luo Xingyi looked at it for a long time before calling out the title tremblingly, his voice was as thin as a gnat.

Xu Yan didn't seem to hear, and concentrated on looking at his red flowers.

"Uncle Xu." Luo Xingyi called again.

This time the voice was louder, but Xu Yan still couldn't hear, let alone turning his head, he didn't take his eyes off his flowers.

"Uncle Xu!"

Ji Shuyao came and grabbed Luo Xingyi, "He can't hear you, Xingyi."

"What do you mean you can't hear?" Luo Xingyi asked.

Ji Shuyao shook her head, pursed her lips, took a breath, and then said: "Uncle Xu's brain is congested, and it has compressed many cranial nerves and brain tissues. We are not sure about operating on him here, so we can only let him Living like this. He can't remember things now, and he can't tell you from me. His intelligence is only equivalent to that of a six-year-old child, and he has to be taken care of every day for basic necessities... That's why I asked you to prepare mentally."

Luo Xingyi couldn't say anything.

He seemed to have been deified at this moment, surprise, anger, sadness, these negative emotions did not exist, and they were all withdrawn.

Logically speaking, after listening to Ji Shuyao's words, he should understand Xu Yan's situation, and it is impossible to respond to any of his words.But foolishly holding the slightest hope, he walked forward, knelt down and squatted beside Xu Yan, and called him softly: "Uncle Xu, do you still remember me? I am Xing Yi, and I am Little Xing Xing. "

Xu Yan still looked at the flowers.

There was a stalemate like this for a long time, and there was a wind blowing in the yard, and Luo Xingyi didn't know if his legs were numb, and he never got Xu Yan's attention for a second.

Ji Shuyao couldn't stand it anymore, she stepped forward and pulled him, but when he couldn't move, she turned up the volume: "Get up, he doesn't know!"

Seemingly hearing Ji Shuyao's voice, Xu Yan, who hadn't responded all this time, suddenly turned around and called her, "Ji! Ji!"

"It's me, I'm here to see you again, Uncle Xu." Ji Shuyao, who was pulling Luo Xingyi, smiled, and became kind in an instant, "Is life happy recently? Are they playing with you well?"

Xu Yan seemed unable to understand such a long sentence, only understood the word "play", and shouted: "play!"

He suddenly became elated, reached out and pulled out the safflower that he loved and looked at for a long time, squeezed it into a hand of flower liquid, turned around in a daze, looked at Ji Shuyao, and then at Luo Xingyi.

As if he just realized that there was a person squatting beside him, who was shorter than himself, he suddenly handed over all the flowers in his hands: "Flowers! Flowers! For the good baby!"

Luo Xingyi's eyes instantly turned red.

He reached out to take Xu Yan's flowers, looked at Xu Yan's old face, and said sourly, "Thank you Uncle Xu, I like it very much." After saying this, he couldn't bear to look any more, got up and walked out of the courtyard.

Although Xu Yan was an old cunning back then, he was still considered a character. He was a man of fortune, how could he have thought that he would end up like this?

Like a handicapped child who cannot take care of himself, trapped in this courtyard.

Ji Shuyao asked someone to add a coat to Xu Yan, and told the person taking care of him not to let him blow the wind in the courtyard for too long, and after asking about some trivial matters, he walked in the direction Luo Xingyi left.

Luo Xingyi had seen Xu Yan's current situation, and he really couldn't accept it. Holding the flower in his hand, he stood in the corner and kept rolling a small stone with his feet.

Ji Shuyao walked over slowly and said, "The truth is always desirable, but the process of pursuing the truth is very painful. Fortunately, you are much calmer than I imagined."

Luo Xingyi stopped his feet and asked, "Why did you get a brain injury?"

"It was those two people who did it." Ji Shuyao didn't hide it, took out a cigarette from her bag and lit it, and said directly, "Uncle Xu didn't agree with them politically, so they fought, and they died Hands, make it like this. But you don't have to worry, the ashes of those two people have been scattered in the river now, and they have been washed away hundreds of years ago."

Luo Xingyi wasn't surprised by what Ji Shuyao said, but when he saw her smoking, he froze for a moment, "You..."

Everyone in the "Moon Palace" knows that their volunteers have special physiques. Due to sensory enhancement, they are also very sensitive to irritating odors, and generally find it difficult to accept the smell of tobacco.But Ji Shuyao started smoking now. Judging by the skillful huffing and puffing posture, she is still a smoker for many years.

Seeing Luo Xingyi's surprised expression, Ji Shuyao raised the cigarette in his hand, and dropped a bombshell lightly: "You say this, I have no supernatural powers for a long time, and smoking will only make me feel better."

Maybe it just happened to provoke this topic, Ji Shuyao took care of Luo Xingyi's feelings, put out the cigarette, and said, "Don't you want to know what happened in the 'Moon Palace' back then? If you met Xu Yan now, would you still have?" If you have the mood and enough endurance to listen, then I can tell you."

After the cigarette was extinguished, the smoke dissipated. Luo Xingyi raised his head in the gradually transparent smoke, "Captain, please tell me."

Seeing him trying to be calm and forcing herself to be calm, Ji Shuyao suddenly felt a secret pleasure in her heart, as if she had been honed by the years, and the trace of resentment and injustice that she had deceived herself had finally...belatedly rewarded.

The emotions are real in this moment.Can't hide it.

She moved away the foot that was stamping out the cigarette butt, looked up at Luo Xingyi, and asked a sentence: "I will tell you all the questions later. Now you answer me first. When I woke up in the 'Moon Palace', I was alone. When we didn't see each other, did you think, why didn't we take you away? Why did we abandon you?"

Luo Xingyi nodded.

"That's the problem, because I hate you."
