The plane taxied slowly on the runway, and the voice of the flight attendant sounded over the radio: "... We have landed at Barcelona Airport. It is now 11:20 local time, and the temperature outside the cabin is 12 degrees Celsius..."
Xiao Chen looked at the person leaning on his shoulder. It was less than two hours since they transferred from Paris to here, but she still fell asleep and was even unconscious during the landing.
When two worlds share a soul, the fatigue of the other world will also be transmitted here, right? In that world, in order to improve the chances of winning the battle against the God of Nature, the research team composed of Luo Ling, Mao Kai and others studied new magic day and night. They often used magic potions to force themselves to stay awake for countless nights. Under such intense work, even the soul of a saint would be in a state of fatigue, so it was fed back to this world, and she was always in a state of falling asleep.
Xiao Chen kissed her forehead gently, but there was no response. He then gently scratched her nose, but she just wrinkled her nose and hummed lazily, still leaning on his shoulder.
Xiao Chen wanted to push her gently, but his hand stopped in midair. Let her close her eyes for a while, even for ten minutes. He stared blankly at the beautiful curve on her nose, recalling many things.
In more than seven years, countless changes would happen in both worlds, but the fact that she stood by his side never changed. There were many moments when Xiao Chen felt that the pressure of a mountain was about to crush him, but as long as she leaned on him like this, he had a warm feeling.
What kind of luck allows him to have such friends, lover and comrades
When the passengers were almost gone, the flight attendant came to ask if they needed help. At this time, Luo Ling woke up. She looked at Xiao Chen with some anger and said, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"Because I just looked at you."
"What kind of words are these?"
Xiao Chen said with a smile: "You have a shortcoming. It seems that you tend to forget everything."
"You're so old now, aren't you afraid of getting tired of talking like that?" Luo Ling rolled her eyes at him, stood up to get her bag, but the corners of her mouth were upturned.
After getting off the plane and queuing for customs, Luo Ling sighed, "Come to think of it, in all these years, we haven't been out together very often. Even this time can be considered a business trip. Seven years have passed in this world, and it feels like we've been busy for that world all year round. But really, what have we been doing in this world all these years? Sometimes I suddenly realize that even my own life has become dispensable."
Xiao Chen was stunned. He didn't expect Luo Ling to make such an exclamation.
"The information we looked up here and the experts we consulted provided a lot of help over there," Xiao Chen said.
"Yes, yes. But sometimes I can't tell which world I am living in. Over there, we are leaders and heroes that attract worldwide attention. That kind of glory overshadows the life that belongs to this side." Luo Ling pushed the suitcase forward slowly, "I always feel that life in this world is unreal."
Xiao Chen put his arm around her shoulders and squeezed them: "Alive."
He leaned over and smelled the ends of her hair: "It smells delicious."
"what the hell?"
"To verify your presence. Putting them together makes them vivid and real."
Luo Ling couldn't help but burst out laughing and shook her head helplessly.
"In fact, if you had accepted my proposal two years ago, things would have been very different." Xiao Chen said, "Then life in this world would have had an extra fulcrum. I would have been less bothered by them. You know, I am the one bearing the most firepower now. After all, my parents asked me when I would get married. Even your aunts and uncles would ask me indirectly. They always felt that I was the one who delayed you."
"Although splitting my mind allows my two halves of consciousness to know each other without interfering with each other, my focus can only be on one side. I always feel that I can't settle down unless I deal with the God of Nature. I am afraid that too many trivial matters will interfere with the things over there. After all, it concerns the future of a planet and the lives of so many people." Luo Ling took one of his hands, "Thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Chen said, "How can we have a family if the Xiongnu is not destroyed? I understand. Who told me to like such a heroine? I am afraid of nothing. We have a lot of time. After defeating the God of Nature, we will have plenty of time to kill."
Luo Ling pulled Xiao Chen's hand up and gently placed it on her face.
What kind of luck allows her to have such friends, lovers and comrades-in-arms
After they passed customs and left the airport, they contacted the driver and took the agreed car to the hotel. The place where they stayed was an apartment hotel called Avram, which was located near the Barcelona Museum of Modern Art. It had a living room, bedroom and open kitchen. Xiao Chen and his partner didn't know how long they would stay in Spain, so they chose a room where they could cook.
The hotel room was on the fourth floor. After Xiao Chen packed his luggage, he found that Luo Ling had opened the French door of the living room and stood on the balcony.
The iron railings on the balcony were hollow, and the wind blew in without any obstruction. Luo Ling stood there, and the wind blew up her long hair and skirt. Barcelona was a little cold in autumn, and Luo Ling wrapped herself in a shawl, which made her figure more beautiful. The sun at three or four o'clock in the afternoon shone warmly on the ends of her hair, making her hair appear golden brown, like a golden river flowing in the sun.
It's really beautiful.
This was Xiao Chen's only thought at this moment.
"What are you looking at?" Xiao Chen walked over and stood beside him, resting his elbows on the balcony railing like her. In front of him was the slightly old neighborhood of Barcelona.
"We..." Luo Ling turned around, "We have been running fast all these years. I want to walk slower these two days, okay?"
"Hmm..." Xiao Chen looked at Luo Ling seriously. He could feel her tiredness and boredom, as well as her fear of the unknown future. He felt pity for her, but said, "No, not too slow."
"What?" Luo Ling's eyes were a little disappointed, but she also understood that the plan of that world was waiting for the result here, "Then..."
"Because as a tour guide, I can't wait to take you to see many places." Xiao Chen stretched out a hand and swept it across the balcony, like a competent tour guide introducing a great attraction. "This is Gaudi's hometown. There are places like Casa Milà, Casa Batlló, Park Güell, Sagrada Familia, and museums. We have to start quickly and then slowly experience this city."
