"Hey, what's wrong? You look like you didn't sleep well last night."
The years have accumulated gentleness and beauty, but it still retains the smart smile of youth.
The sea of ​​​​flowers in November withers after blooming at its most gorgeous, swaying in the early winter afternoon sunshine, waiting for the next bloom.
"ha...."
Sitting at the tea table on the open-air balcony, it was incredibly warm as indoors, listening to Shui Linlang's slightly teasing words,
Fangran couldn't help but smile bitterly despite the "dark circles" under his eyes, then he felt a headache and sighed:
"I just enjoyed the relaxation of recovering from my injuries for a while, and then I was caught in an inexplicable scene. It took me a lot of time to defeat the inexplicable and difficult enemies and eliminate all other targets."
"It was only ten minutes after I left the scene, and I went to exercise my abilities as usual. I fell asleep for less than half an hour, and I woke up from a dream and didn't dare to close my eyes again..."
It was a much longer night than usual, and Fangran, who only slept for more than an hour, looked tired from the vicissitudes of life.
Of course, compared to the high-intensity practice of unleashing your abilities to destroy the sea of ​​numbered monsters and digesting the battle for five hours,
Or was it the dream in the morning that caused him to feel exhausted physically and mentally...
"Hehehe, it looks like a good night."
Looking at his complicated and indescribable expression, Shui Linlang smiled happily and gracefully,
I suppressed the flashback of that dream forcibly, and I couldn’t listen to the class well today.
Fangran looked silently at the smiling elder figure in front of him.
"Grandma Shui, why do you look so happy..."
"Yeah... I just feel like something has happened, and from my standpoint, I'm happy to see it happen."
Shui Linlang looked at his smiling answer and asked Fangran, who had already adapted to an elder like her, to drink tea silently.
"Anyway, after yesterday's review...Sister Su, cough! Come to school..."
After saying the title with a slight stumble, Fangran put down the tea cup, breathed out lightly, and looked at Shui Linlang with a prepared face.
"Said my injury is completely healed."
"Yeah, that's great."
Then Shui Linlang responded with a smile and pretended to be stupid.
"Well...Grandma Shui, my injury has completely healed..."
After waiting for three seconds without waiting for the next step, Fangran couldn't help but try to remind Shui Linlang again as she looked at Shui Linlang drinking tea and smiling:
"Um...Grandma Shui, I mean my recovery is over."
"Then remember not to mess around again in the future. Speaking of which, Lian Xin finally went to find you a few days ago, right? "
She couldn't fault anything? But she always felt that the instructions of her elders were not suitable for her. As expected, Shui Linlang changed the topic with a smile in her eyes the next second?
Not hiding the curve of her smile at all? She pretended to be a grandmother and sighed:
"Since you sent her back last time, my simple granddaughter has been worried every night as if she suddenly grew up? Until recently, she finally made some determination."
Then after saying this,
Shui Linlang finally stopped hiding her true intentions. With an interested smile on her face, she became concerned about her granddaughter's 'scandal'.
"How's it going? Did you make any progress on your date?"
"It's not a date...no! That's not the topic!"
When she mentioned the girl's changes that made her feel confused and overwhelmed, she suddenly reacted half way through her instinct to panic and deny it?
Fang Ran, who was almost abducted? She pressed her brows and pointed out loudly:
"Ziye! It's Ziye's business!"
Fangran has discovered that as long as Shui Linlang is not very 'happy to see it happen', if you don't tell her, she will always smile and bring up some topics that make you shaken, and she will pretend to be stupid about his choices.
?
As for whether I will tell you in the end, I'm not sure.
But even if you know this is the case?
But it's still a bit overwhelming to be asked such words by the grandmother of your crush in person.
"Huh? Midnight? What midnight?"
Listening to Shui Linlang's innocent question, still pretending not to know? Fangran sighed and gave a weak explanation:
"It was the senior who invited me to go to Midnight. Grandma Shui, didn't you say you would help me arrange this?"
"Ah...right? Is there still this thing? Are you getting older? I just remembered it."
You definitely didn't just remember...
Looking at Shui Linlang's acting skills that are deliberately easy to see through at a glance, I no longer know what to say about this elder's character.
"Is it necessary to go? Actually, it's very boring at midnight. There are some elderly, old-fashioned elders who don't like the outside world. They just drink tea every day to support themselves."
"No... Grandma Shui, are you really okay with saying this..."
Listening to Shui Linlang's words that had already started to 'smear' her, I thought of her age and previous recruitment, which had too many flaws.
So much so that Fangran didn't know how to complain about her words and was speechless and choked.
"Since he has been secretly guiding me in Europe, that senior will not call me over for no reason..."
In the end, I had no choice but to ignore the "cuteness" of my elders and speak my mind seriously.
"By the way..."
However, Fangran stared at Shui Linlang with a speechless expression:
"Grandma Shui, you don't really want me to go. Do you know the purpose of the senior who asked me to go?"
"How could it be possible? I don't know what's going on with Uncle Qianmian..."
Shui Linlang denied this with a gentle smile,
"Anyway, it will take a few days to set up the teleportation to Midnight,"
Then facing Fangran's eyes full of 'I don't believe it', she revealed the flawless and mysterious smile of an older person:
"It just allows you to deal with personal matters around you and make preparations before departure,"
Speaking of this, she suddenly blinked at Fang Ran with her eyes as bright and light as glass.
"By the way, I have a couple's ticket to the amusement park, do you want it?"
"don't want."
In view of the fact that no matter whether I went out last weekend, the 'accident' in the past two days, or the trouble I made after winning last night, I ended up in a state of panic, and it was difficult to calm down.
So I didn’t even complain about why a participant with A-level prophecy ability would have such a thing as an amusement park couple’s ticket.
Fangran simply refused.
"Hehehehe..."
Seeing his vigilant look, Shui Linlang really laughed out loud this time.
It seems that he is really enjoying his life recently...
The thought came to mind, and the warm and kind eyes of the elders filled his eyes. He looked at the young man in front of him with quiet determination in his eyes,
Shui Linlang took a breath and suddenly sighed softly:
"You have changed, Fangran."
Picking up the tea cup, Fang Ran was looking at the curtain of flowers outside the balcony,
Hearing her stop teasing and her elder-like serious tone, I was slightly stunned without realizing it.
"Eh...?"
"The time you came during the National War, you were still saying that you were not as powerful as your childhood self and couldn't save the world..."
Recalling the scene when he came here at night after the C-level battle, Shui Linlang rubbed her fingers on the teacup and looked at the reflection, recalling,
Then he raised his eyes with a complex and gentle look of helplessness, relief and worry as an elder.
"But now you look like you want to save the world."
"ah..."
He felt a little embarrassed when she said that. Fangran was speechless for a moment, then laughed out loud and scratched his cheek:
"I actually haven't thought of that level yet..."
"There is still a gap from one to ten, but there is a fundamental difference from zero to one,"
Sighing softly and whispering, Shui Linlang closed her eyes with slight helplessness. She picked up the teacup and spoke words that only she could understand.
"It's obviously only such a short time."
It was only a few months, but it was as if destiny was 'accelerated' by something.
Every time this young man comes to me, he will change and grow.
He looks more and more like he did when I first met him...
"Yeah... I feel like it's been a long time."
Recalling the 'such a short time' she said, she realized that she couldn't recall it all at the moment, so Fangran couldn't help but smile and answered.
Compared with the high school days that can be recalled in a few seconds,
It does take longer to become a participant...
"I always feel like it was just yesterday when Xiao Sheng brought you here and I revealed your identity as Ye Ya."
Shui Linlang spoke with a nostalgic sigh. Fangran couldn't help but feel ashamed when she heard about her "rebellious" dark history.
"No, Grandma Shui, can you please stop mentioning that..."
"Eh? What's the matter? Your expression at that time was very interesting. I even kept it with my water mirror (laughs)."
"What...! No...forget it, by the way, can I ask Grandma Xiashui, when did you start paying attention to me?"
"Since you were ten?"
"No, ten years old is too ridiculous. Grandma Shui, can't you come up with a reliable explanation to put me off..."
"Ah, I was discovered by you."
"Grandma Shui, you helped Sister Yesheng rebuild the night bureau, right? What were everyone in the bureau like before?"
"This..."
...
The auditorium courtyard on the top floor of the manor villa,
In the bright sunshine of the early winter afternoon, when the young man listened to the prophet tell a little about the past events,
Her light golden hair is spread out on her slender shoulders, and her legs are flawless and slender under her skirt. The girl who has not yet grown up has a doll-like delicacy that makes people want to hold her tightly in her arms.
After taking a shallow breath, my eyelashes fluttered,
She slowly opened her light golden eyes from her sleep and murmured out of instinct:
Chapter completed!
