It was another normal day, as usual.
From the girl who visited the hut at night, I learned that the teleportation to Midnight has been prepared, which is just the right time in every sense,
It made Fangran feel that it was Shui Linlang's excuse to predict the follow-up development when he said it would take a few days.
Thinking about the last thing to do before leaving,
Fangran teleported to the Mechanical Micro City where 'You Ye' was located as usual.
"Ling?"
When he unexpectedly made a sound, he found that golden goblin-like figure floating in the air in front of him as if he knew he was coming.
"It's so late, what are you doing here if you don't sleep?"
With her back turned to Fangran, Ling seemed to be adjusting something, her tone was so soft that no emotion could be heard.
"Ah, that's right, Grandma Shui told me today that the teleportation to Midnight is ready,"
Fangran looked at Ling's figure, scratched his head and thought about the reason.
"So before we leave, let me report to Ling..."
"Are you going to leave tonight?"
"Ah, it seems that there is nothing prepared, it might as well be that I have already prepared..."
Thinking back to the night when the crutch turned back into a broken silver dragon tooth a few days ago, Fangran thought of himself who didn't know that Ling would wake up these few days,
But upon hearing his answer, Ling's finger on the virtual button didn't stop,
It's just that the words stopped for a second before they rang again.
"Yes, I see."
Looking at Ling's back, she was slightly surprised, thinking that she would definitely be warned of various precautions in a strict voice, telling how many mysterious and unpredictable characters in Midnight should not be provoked,
None of these appeared, but Fangran felt a little missing.
I was a little disappointed that I couldn't admire the beauty of Her Majesty the Queen before setting off. Fangran saw that Ling was still pressing the buttons quickly,
He turned around and greeted without interruption, intending to start the space teleportation and leave...
"Then Ling, I'm leaving."
But it didn't work out.
In the mechanical city where You Ye's mecha stands, a girl with light blond hair stands behind the young man, raising her hand to grab his clothes.
Fangran turned her head in surprise, and saw Ling's figure with her head lowered slightly behind her,
He didn't float off the ground as usual, and the height difference made him unable to see those light golden eyes, but he could see her biting her lip and struggling silently,
And the way she gripped her clothes tightly.
"Ah, what's the matter, Her Majesty the Queen?"
After a while of silence, Fangran asked tentatively, but in the middle of speaking, he began to ask and answer himself, scratching his head with a narcissistic smirk:
"Hey! Could it be that you can't bear to part with me, ahaha, don't worry, I'm just going to midnight as a related household, and I'm not going to any dangerous place, I'll be back soon..."
"Don't go..."
Then after hearing Ling's slight words, the pretended expression stopped abruptly.
It’s still the queen’s clear voice, but the reluctance, struggle, embarrassment, plus the little girl’s self-willedness, coquettishness, pleading, and pretending to cover up all these as usual,
It constitutes Ling's extremely low-volume discourse at this moment,
It even made Fangran suspect for a moment that he had heard wrong, and said in a daze:
"Ling...."
Hearing that he would be stunned by his tone, the light blond hair lowered his head to cover his eyes,
Ling gripped her fingers tightly, not wanting to let go.
Let go of the airs you usually get along with, let go of the aura of being an A-level high-ranking Angel You Ye, let go of the shame of saying such things to a young man who is several generations younger than yourself,
Struggling to act, not being the little girl I used to be,
Ling returned to her normal speaking volume and repeated what she had just said.
"Don't go."
This time the complexity of the words was clearly heard, and it was the first time in my impression that Ling spoke to herself like this,
Fangran was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ling's low voice.
"Isn't it good to just stay here..."
"Your family, friends, companions, girls you have a crush on... waking up, going to school, going home..."
Ling grabbed Fangran and counted all kinds of things in his daily life. Those complicated emotions made her bit her lip, and the words she kept kept became lower and lower.
"All the daily life you wanted in the past is now by your side, and you have been living the life you have today. Don't go to midnight, isn't it good to just stay here?"
"No... Ling, what are you talking about, I just went out for a while and I will be back soon...."
"Don't play dumb, you know what I'm talking about...."
Even the usual scolding was gone, Fangran looked at Her Lady Queen who was just grabbing herself, her aura was unprecedentedly weak,
He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment.
In the end, he sighed helplessly, lowered his eyes and said softly:
"Indeed, the daily life that I wanted to protect in the past is now all by my side, and every day is a happy, lively and interesting life,"
"If I were the same as me two months ago, I would be extremely satisfied."
There is a certain nostalgia in the tone, but after saying this sentence,
Fangran raised an incomparably clear chuckle, and said to Ling with a serious tone and cheerful voice:
"But when I was in Europe before, I slowly discovered along the way, no matter how I concealed it, how I avoided it, and how I persuaded myself with the reason of 'don't fall into second grade',"
"In the end, I can't deny that I still have something in my heart that I'm eager to do, and I'm excited just thinking about it,"
Recalling the experience of Europe for a moment, the extraordinary things of activating the ability to escape, fight, and execute the plan in the night, and the things found at the end...
Fangran grabbed Ling's hand and let go of his clothes, and slowly knelt down, raised his head and smiled:
"The wish to realize this one life without wasting it."
Only then did he see Ling's face, and it was indeed a bit embarrassing and worried.
"They are also participants, Ling, you must understand that feeling, right?"
I understand, of course I understand!
As an A-level high-ranking participant, Ling certainly understands the meaning of "wish" to the participants. It is both the starting point and the end point, driving every participant's actions.
Like even if she knows how "willful" and unreasonable her request is at this moment, she puts down her airs, shame, etc. and speaks out,
It is also out of fear that the young man in front of him will disappear one day if he continues like this,
The desire to keep him.
"Speaking of which, after escaping from that border town a hundred years ago, when I was about to ignore the life and death of the people there,"
"Ling, you can see through it all at once."
In the future sci-fi mechanical micro-city, the young man squatted half-kneeling in front of the girl who didn't look like a girl, and talked about that time with a smile,
She urged herself to do what she wanted to do, not to go against her heart.
"I don't know! It's just that I didn't understand anything when I was a child, and I'm not so kind now!"
Only this time, the girl wanted him to stay.
"I'm an A-level wanderer! Selfish, arrogant, unreasonable, my own interests are paramount, other people's lives are none of my business, I don't care what your wishes are..."
As if she was making an excuse for her wanting to force him to stay, Ling looked away, not looking at his cold voice, with an indifferent and disdainful look on her delicate face,
Then when Fangran sighed helplessly and stretched out his hand to hug her, he became flustered like a deer.
Holding her back and waist with both hands, the gap between her body disappeared, and the fair skin on Ling's face showed a blush, and she resisted symbolically.
"Don't speak ill of my important people."
When he heard Fangran laugh softly, he couldn't help biting his lips and his face became hot.
Being hugged by Fangran, she couldn't say anything unreasonable anymore, Ling told herself not to be fooled by such a child's sweet talk, and at the same time she thought bitterly,
This hateful idiot is only so smart at this time...
"However, in order to avoid worrying you, and to prove that I don't care about my daily life anymore,"
"Let's make a new agreement."
Holding his queen in his arms, the pupil of Fangran's right eye lit up with a deep and quiet golden color. He didn't know what he was thinking at the moment.
Make an agreement softly like an oath.
"No matter what happens in the future, I will definitely come back."
Hearing that he even said such words, Ling finally opened her eyes and spoke in a low voice reluctantly.
"No one cares about you..."
Fangran smiled silently, then felt the slender and soft waist and chest in his arms, rubbed his cheek against the light golden fluffy hair and smiled.
"Speaking of which, sure enough, Your Lady Queen is very comfortable to hold when you grow up."
The girl who was being held by him didn't speak, and didn't knock him away...
