"Hey, what's the matter, it looks like I didn't sleep well last night."
The years have precipitated gentleness and beauty, but still retain the smart smile of the youth,
The sea of flowers in November withered after blooming to the most gorgeous, swaying in the afternoon sunshine in early winter, waiting for the next bloom.
"ha... ."
Sitting at the tea table on the open-air balcony, it was inconceivably as warm as indoors, listening to Shui Linlang's slightly teasing words,
Fangran couldn't help but smile wryly with the 'dark circles under his eyes', and then he felt a headache and sighed:
"Just enjoying the relaxation of recovering from injuries for a while, I was caught in an inexplicable scene. It took a lot of time to defeat the inexplicably difficult enemies and solve all other targets,"
"I found out that it was only ten minutes after I left the scene. After taking advantage of the trend to exercise my ability as usual, I fell asleep for less than half an hour. I woke up from a dream and didn't dare to close my eyes again..."
Fangran, who only slept for more than an hour after a night that was much longer than usual, looked exhausted.
Of course, compared to wantonly releasing abilities to eliminate the sea of numbered monsters, and five hours of high-intensity practice to digest the battle,
It was the dream in the morning that made him physically and mentally exhausted...
"Hehehe, it looks like a good night."
Seeing his complex and indescribable expression, Shui Linlang smiled gracefully and happily,
Forcibly suppressing the flashback of that dream, I couldn't listen to today's class well,
Fangran looked at the smiling elder in front of him silently.
"Why does Grandma Shui look so happy..."
"Yeah... It just feels like something happened that I'd like to see happen from my standpoint."
Shui Linlang looked at his answer with a smile, and made Fangran, who had adapted to an elder like her, drink tea in silence.
"Anyway, yesterday's recovery... Sister Susu. Cough! Come to school..."
Slightly stumbled to say the title, Fangran put down the teacup, exhaled lightly, looked at Shui Linlang with a ready face,
"Said my injury was completely healed."
"Yes, that would be wonderful."
Then I got Shui Linlang's playful response with a smile.
"That... Grandma Shui, my injury has completely healed..."
After waiting for three seconds, there was no more to come. Looking at Shui Linlang who was drinking tea and smiling, Fangran couldn't help but tried to remind again:
"That... Granny Shui, I mean my recuperation is over."
"Then remember that you can't mess around again in the future. Speaking of which, Lian Xin finally went to find you a few days ago."
She couldn't find any faults while she was talking, but she always felt that it was not suitable for her elders to tell her. Sure enough, Shui Linlang changed the topic the next second with a smile in her eyes
Without concealing the curvature of the corners of her mouth, she pretended to be "as a grandmother, I am very worried" and sighed:
"Since the last time you sent her back, my innocent granddaughter has grown up all of a sudden? Until recently, I finally made up my mind."
And then having said that,
Shui Linlang finally stopped hiding her intentions? With a smile of interest, she cared about her granddaughter's 'scandal'.
"How's it going? Is there any progress on your date?"
"It's not an appointment... No! Not this topic!"
When she mentioned the girl's changes that made her feel overwhelmed, she instinctively wanted to panic and deny half of her words, but she suddenly reacted
Fangran, who was almost abducted? Pressed his brows and pointed out loudly:
"Midnight! It's about Midnight!"
Fangran has already found out? As long as Shui Linlang is not very 'happy to see it happen', don't you tell me? She will always put on a smile and bring up some topics that make you sway, and he chooses to pretend to be stupid ,
As for whether I will tell you in the end? That's not necessarily the case.
But even knowing that's the case,
But it's still a bit unbearable to be asked such words face to face by the grandmother of the crush.
"Huh? Midnight? What midnight?"
Listening to Shui Linlang's innocent inquiry, which still pretended not to know, Fangran sighed and was unable to explain:
"That senior invited me to Midnight. Grandma Shui, didn't you say that you would help me arrange this matter?"
"Ah, right? And this thing? I didn't remember until I was older."
You definitely didn't just remember...
Looking at Shui Linlang's deliberate acting skills that can be seen through at a glance, I don't know what to say to this elder's character.
"Speaking of which, do you have to go? In fact, it's very boring in the middle of the night. It's full of old, old-fashioned elders who don't like going outside. They just drink tea every day to retire."
"No... Grandma Shui, is it really good for you to say that..."
Listening to Shui Linlang's "smearing" words, thinking of her age and her past solicitations, there are too many flaws,
So much so that Fangran didn't know how to complain about her speechless choking,
"Since I have been guiding me secretly in Europe, that senior should not call me there for no reason...."
In the end, I had no choice but to ignore the "cuteness" of the elders and express my thoughts seriously.
"Say..."
However, Fangran stared at Shui Linlang silently:
"Grandma Shui, you don't really mean to let me go, do you know the purpose of that senior for letting me go?"
"How come, I don't know what's going on with Uncle Thousand Faces..."
To this, Shui Linlang denied it with a gentle smile,
"Anyway, it will take a few more days to set up the teleportation to Midnight,"
Then, facing Fangran's eyes full of 'I don't believe it', she showed an old man's mysterious chuckle without any flaws:
"Just so you can deal with the private affairs around you and make preparations before departure,"
Speaking of this, she suddenly blinked at Fang Ran with his eyes as bright as glass.
"By the way, I have a couple ticket for the amusement park, do you want it?"
"don't want."
In view of the fact that whether I went out last weekend, or the "accident" of the previous two days, and the moths I made after winning last night, I finally fell into a deep state of panic,
So I didn't even bother to complain, why would a participant with A-level prophecy ability have such things as amusement park couple tickets
Fangran directly declined.
"Hehehehe..."
Seeing his vigilant look, Shui Linlang genuinely smiled this time.
Recently, he seems to be living happily...
Thoughts floated up, the eyes of the elders were warm and kind, looking at the young man with quiet determination in his eyes,
Shui Linlang exhaled softly, and suddenly spoke in a dazed voice with emotion:
"You've changed, Fangran."
Picking up the teacup, Fangran was looking at the sea of flowers outside the balcony,
Hearing her teasing, elder-like serious tone, she unconsciously froze slightly.
"Eh... ?"
"When you came during the national war, you were still saying that you were not as good as yourself when you were a child, and that you couldn't save the world..."
Recalling the scene when he came here at night after the Class C battle, Shui Linlang stroked the teacup with her finger and looked at the reflection, recalling,
Then he raised his complex gentleness of helplessness, relief and worry as an elder in his eyes.
"But now you look like you're trying to save the world."
"ah"
She always felt a little embarrassed when she said that, Fangran was dumbfounded for a moment, then scratched his cheek lightly with a laugh:
"I didn't actually think of that to that extent..."
"From one to ten is just a gap, but from zero to one is indeed a fundamental difference,"
With a soft sigh and a whisper, Shui Linlang closed her eyes in a slight helplessness, and she picked up the teacup and said something that only she understood.
"It's only such a short time."
It's only a few months, but it's as if fate has been 'accelerated' by something,
Every time this young man comes to me, there will be changes and growth.
It has become more and more like the appearance I just met him... .
"Is that so... I feel like it's been a long time."
Recalling the 'such a short time' in her mouth, Fangran couldn't help answering with a smile when he realized that he couldn't recall it all.
Compared with the high school days that can be recalled in a few seconds,
It does take a little longer to be a participant...
"I always feel that Xiao Sheng brought you here, and I debunked your Yeya identity just like yesterday."
Shui Linlang sighed with nostalgia, and Fangran couldn't help but blushed when she heard her 'rebellious' black history.
"No, Grandma Shui, can you stop mentioning those..."
"Eh? What's the matter, your expression at that time was very funny, I even kept it in the water mirror (laughs)."
"What...! No... Forget it, I can ask Grandma Xiashui, since when did you start paying attention to me?"
"Since you were ten years old?"
"No, it's ridiculous to be ten years old. Grandma Shui, you can't find a reliable explanation if you prevaricate me..."
"Yeah, you found out."
"By the way, Grandma Shui was the one who helped Ye Sheng rebuild the night bureau. What was everyone in the bureau like before?"
"This..."
...
The auditorium courtyard on the top floor of the manor house,
In the sunny afternoon of early winter, when the young man listened to the prophet tell a little bit about the past,
The light golden hair is spread out on the slender white shoulders, and the white jade has flawless slender legs under the skirt. The girl who has not grown up has a doll-like delicacy, which makes people want to hold her tightly in her arms.
After a shallow breath, the eyelashes flutter,
She slowly opened those light golden eyes from her sleep, and murmured instinctively:
"Fangran?"
