As a teenager, Senior Zhan was a little less stable than he is now when he grows up.
Run faster too.
Before Yu Tang could come to his senses, he was taken into the main house of the Sui family.
The arms that were holding him tightly protected his back. The boy had not yet started to grow taller. His chest and shoulders were thin and skinny, and his clear, slightly rapid heartbeat could be heard.
On the way, the Sui family members looked at us with friendly and curious eyes.
Team doctor Sui rolled up his sleeves, walked out with a smile, and was not in a hurry to come forward. Sui Yingshi stood at the corner of the stairs with his crutches, and reached out to stop the bodyguard who almost thought something had happened.
Sui Qi, who was only a few years old, ran out, holding her beloved diamond-studded mecha model, and curiously poked her head out from behind the adults.
…
Zhan Chen couldn't take care of anything.
He even stumbled on the last step, but caught himself in time, tossed the thin boy into his arms, and hugged him tighter.
He felt Yu Tang reaching out his hand and hugging his shoulders.
The boy in his arms used his strength to climb up, buried his head in his neck, and bit him through the thin white shirt.
Zhan Chen stopped.
Yu Tang clutched his cotton shirt that was pressed against the ironing board, buried his face in it, and looked up at him.
The boy was very thin, which made his eyes look even bigger, and his shadow was reflected in his clear pupils.
Yu Tang looked at him with a hint of smile in his eyes.
Sui Fan was pulled back to the room by his wife.
Sui Yingshi, leaning on a cane, drove everyone out of the corridor one by one, and slowly left with his hands behind his back.
The staircase was empty and quiet. The sunlight filtered in through the window panes, so bright that it looked like a dream enveloped in swirling dust in the light and shadow.
"Don't worry, it's not a dream."
Yu Tang placed a hand on his back and muttered: "Senior Zhan."
Yu Tang: "You stole me back."
He pressed the teeth marks on Zhan Chen's shoulder through the fabric.
Zhan Chen smiled softly after a few seconds.
He lowered his head and rubbed it against Yu Tang's forehead. He seemed to have no strength left and swayed for a while before he stood firm. He then held Yu Tang in his arms and protected him.
He carried Yu Tang back to his room.
Zhan Chen's study is much better than the shabby little room in the laboratory.
He had told Xiao Guangtuan about this study many times. After his memory was erased, it frequently appeared in Zhan Chen's dreams, becoming the only remaining trace of his home.
Zhan Chen held the warm little Tuan Guang in his arms and patiently explained that he had a study room that was much more beautiful than the experimental subject's dormitory.
They are not tables and chairs made of waste wooden boxes, nor are they windows covered with several layers of plastic paper.
There is a bed in the study, but it is not a hard bed. Instead, it is equipped with a specially customized high-tech intelligent cloud-sensing massage mattress.
He had a projector, thousands of movies in stock, and entire bookshelves full of books of all kinds, including his favorite principles of mechanics and the legends and stories of this galaxy.
Zhan Chen promised his Electronic Storm that when he finished his mission and returned to the department, he would make a book-turning robot to turn pages for the studious teacher Xiao Guangtuan every day.
Yu Tang stuck his head out and looked at the study room that Zhan Chen had described countless times.
It is the same as what Zhan Chen said, and even better than what Zhan Chen could say.
There are photos of Zhan Chen when he was a child on the desk, his handwritten notes and drawings are neatly arranged on the corners, small toys and models made by Zhan Chen himself are placed on the bookshelf, and his goals are on the wall.
When he was young, Zhan Chen would carefully write his goal of entering the logistics major of the military academy in large characters and stick them neatly on the wall.
On the windowsill stood a pot of lush, green pine trees. Outside the window was the training ground where the Sui family provided training for their children to practice mecha driving.
No one was training today, and the wind was very quiet. The warm sunlight filtered through the semi-transparent window screens and fell on the wooden floor, exuding a faint pine scent that had a calming effect.
This study room is full of traces of Zhan Chen.
Yu Tang was gently placed on the bed by Zhan Chen.
He really wanted to see senior Zhan's childhood photo, but unfortunately he didn't have time to lean over and take a look, as his view was blocked by Zhan Chen's figure.
"Lie down."
Zhan Chen spoke in a gentle voice, placing his palm on his forehead: "Let me check you first."
Yu Tang lay down obediently: "Actually, there is no need..."
He wanted to say that these were just minor problems. This was not the first time he entered this assessment world, nor was it the first time he took over this body.
After being adopted by an orphanage, he has been in the hands of those human adoptive parents ever since.
Being hungry or full, or being locked up in a cold, dark bathroom is already the lightest punishment. If you don't make progress in your studies, you will undoubtedly be taught a lesson. If you are found not to be doing your job, you will suffer even more.
He had always thought that all parents were like this until he met Luo Ran's parents. If the system had not found the "Guidelines for Human Behavioral Research" in time, he might not have been able to give a revealing response.
…
However, compared to being able to meet Zhan Chen, these are insignificant things.
Zhan Chen carefully adjusted the temperature in the room and made sure it was warm enough before he gently lifted up his half-worn and loose sweater.
The boy was severely malnourished. He was so thin that his chest and ribs were exposed. His thin arms could not be encircled by one hand, and there were purple bruises on many parts of his body.
Yu Tang was half curled up, but in the study room which was already warm enough, he still shuddered slightly as a conditioned reflex.
Zhan Chen stopped his action: "Cold?"
Yu Tang shook his head.
He really didn't see Senior Zhan very often when he was a child, and at the moment his mind was not on himself at all. He let Zhan Chen toss him around, but his eyes were still on Zhan Chen.
I don’t know if it’s because he has turned back into a teenager, but Zhan Chen’s calmness has diminished a lot. Standing under his gaze, his ears are even a little red.
Yu Tang couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth.
This feeling is very strange - Zhan Chen at this moment actually should not belong to him. If those conspirators had not interfered, Zhan Chen would not have become an agent, would not have had his memory wiped and implanted with a program, would not have entered the laboratory undercover, and then encountered a group of electronic storms that made him lost.
Zhan Chen should have grown up smoothly. With Sui Fan and his wife around, Zhan Chen would reconcile with the Sui family, become the most outstanding mecha expert in the entire alliance, and get countless S-level merits.
But at this time, Zhan Chen really belonged to him.
The countless possibilities on the same timeline finally collapse completely into only one possibility when being observed.
The young Zhan Chen stood in front of him and held his hand.
Yu Tang nodded and shook his hand.
That hand had not yet been rubbed with the thin calluses of gunfire, nor had it become always slightly cool and damp due to the punishment of the procedure, and was oozing with cold sweat that could not be wiped away.
The palm he held was warm, and the slender fingers wrapped around his.
Zhan Chen looked at him, and with his free hand he gathered Yu Tang's short hair, massaging it gently and slowly.
"Never mind it, Senior Zhan." Yu Tang rubbed Zhan Chen's palm, "Just take care of it."
Zhan Chen was very good at taking care of him. During the last assessment, Zhan Chen brought him home and only took him a year to restore his health.
If it weren't for the backlash of the supernatural power field, he wouldn't have failed in the final mission and disintegrated into pieces of particles.
"It's because the human body is too fragile."
Yu Tang said: "It doesn't matter, just take good care of yourself."
Zhan Chen seemed to have guessed what he would say. He sat down beside the bed and touched the top of Yu Tang's head: "How do I raise it?"
Yu Tang raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but when he saw the gentle indulgence in Zhan Chen's brows, he suddenly understood what Zhan Chen meant.
- This time, he is completely free and not supervised by any department of the Book Bureau, and he doesn't have to worry about any characters being ooc.
This is the past that has been revised.
He can make the most willful requests, or he can create the most ignorant electronic storms.
“Raising an electronic storm is very demanding.”
Yu Tang thought for a moment and said, "Electronic Storm needs to sleep next to humans. In addition to sleeping, you need to concentrate on accompanying Electronic Storm for at least 12 hours a day."
Zhan Chen was speechless: "Okay."
Yu Tang counted his fingers and said, "I don't want to just eat milk and cookies. I also want to eat egg tarts. They're hot right out of the oven, and they leak if you poke them."
Zhan Chen nodded: "Okay."
Yu Tang: "No need to prepare another room for me. I'll stay here all the time. I won't take up much space."
Zhan Chen smiled and nodded, gently telling Electronic Storm what he was thinking: "We can read books and watch movies together, eat together, take a bath and sleep together."
Yu Tang coughed and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"It's winter vacation now. When school starts, I want to go to school with you. My grades are very good now, so I can be a transfer student directly."
Yu Tang thought about it warmly, and then counted on his fingers: "If there is any question I don't know, I can ask you..."
Zhan Chen raised his hand and tapped Yu Tang's forehead lightly.
He took the person home directly. Before he could get any information, he knew that Yu Tangzhun was waiting for him here: "Do you want to ask me something?"
Yu Tang couldn't help but ask, "Senior Zhan, what's your reason for wanting me back?"
Looking at Senior Zhan when he was a child, lying on the bed where Senior Zhan slept when he was a child, I am about to grow up with Senior Zhan when he was a child.
Yu Tang actually couldn't concentrate on thinking about this, but he couldn't help thinking about it.
If the original plot had been followed, he would have to endure at least a few more years before he could meet Zhan Chen by chance in the school corridor.
At that time, he had already been abandoned, and because he was over the age limit, he could not go back to the orphanage. There were not so many plot and character restrictions, and he could go home with Zhan Chen naturally.
... Yu Tang was not surprised that Zhan Chen would come to him in advance, but it was still somewhat beyond his expectations that he would come so directly in advance.
Of course Yu Tang was very happy to grow up with Senior Zhan.
This point is beyond doubt, but there are some very important things that still need to be confirmed before people can be completely reassured.
"Xiao S7 said that according to the relevant laws of the alliance, what I am about to do cannot be recorded in my household registration book."
Yu Tang thought long-term: "I am happy to take a bath and sleep with you, Senior Zhan, but I—"
His head stopped just in time when he saw the figure outside.
Sui Yingshi stood outside the door, opened his mouth but said nothing, and his gray eyebrows raised uncontrollably.
Sui Yingshi: "It's not in my household registration book."
Yu Tang: “…”
Zhan Chen: “…”
The well-informed old patriarch of the Sui family had never heard of this. He cleared his throat and waved his hand to send Sui Xifan and his wife away.
Sui Yingshi cautiously stepped out of the door, nodded in gratitude to Electronic Storm who saved the world, and considerately stepped out of the door to close the door for the two juniors.
