Meaux.
The capital of country C.
It's summer, and the heavy rain always comes quickly, and when it recedes, there is no trace to be found.
In the middle of the night, there were not many people on the street. The rain in the evening gradually subsided, but the raindrops were still falling continuously.
The bus is driving to the last platform. The driver yawned, a little tired. There were no passengers in the car at this time. Just wait for the departure station and wait for the next day's loop.
On the platform not far away, there is a huge advertising stop sign. At this time, the billboard was on, the only light in the dark night. The rainwater pooled in a gurgle on the platform roof and trickled down the edge.
Seeing that there was no one on the platform, the driver simply didn't bother to stop. The speed of the car did not drop, and it drove directly past. The tires grazed the ground, splashing water.
"Shua—"
The huge car body passed the billboard—at this moment, a black figure suddenly appeared on the originally empty platform.
The bus drifts away.
The driver was still a little sleepy at first, so he raised his head inadvertently and saw the figure reflected in the rearview mirror at a glance.
He shivered involuntarily.
Wait, what's going on here? There was obviously no one just now, when did that guy appear!
All of a sudden, all kinds of late-night nonsense came to my mind. The driver's drowsy nerves immediately became extremely sober, his fingers gripped the steering wheel, and he didn't dare to look back.
Du You stood in front of the platform, watching the continuous drizzle. There is a roof to cover your head, so you don't have to worry about getting wet.
but…
He glanced at the passing bus lightly: "I was seen."
Besides him, there is no other person present. But I don't know where there was a response: "I, I haven't been seen!"
The voice is a little underwhelming.
Du You didn't care about this, and looked away: "Is he here?"
The system akimbo triumphantly: "That's right. In order not to waste time, I deliberately landed near him."
Half a year has passed since I left Shen Chen's world that night—at least in Du You's timeline. During this period, the system finally saved enough points. It has far exceeded the points required to transfer only once.
—Because I accidentally sent it to the wrong place, there is still a chance to correct it.
Of course, this is what the system is thinking about with a guilty conscience, never daring to tell the host that it is so unreliable.
However, late at night, at bus stops, in the wilderness.
Du You really couldn't think of anyone who would be in this kind of place in the middle of the night.
The system is blunt: "People, people's transmission radar can't be wrong, it must be near here!"
At this time, a cool wind hit.
"Ah Choo!"
Du You sneezed.
The system suddenly discovered something, and stammered: "That, that, the host..."
Du You rubbed his nose: "?"
"No, it's nothing!" The system took the words back and said, "You must not look behind."
Sometimes the more you are not allowed to do something, the more you want to do it, let alone what the system says.
Du You turned around.
System Erkang hand: "No!!!"
There is nothing else behind him, but a billboard. The advertising screen was lit, and the dim light reflected on Du You's face. Because of the closeness, even the fine hairs on the face are clearly visible.
Du You is very familiar with the person in the advertisement.
There is also a signature on the lower right, although it is so flamboyant that I don't quite understand it.
Du You said the person's name: "... You Haoyu."
Seeing that the matter was revealed, the system turned pale with shock: "Host, you have to trust me, I definitely did not confuse the billboard with the real person!"
Large, probably.
This sentence is very unassuming, and the next sentence reveals its humility: "At least you are in the same world. Don't worry, host, I will use the coordinate positioning function."
Du You snorted lightly.
wait wait wait. Is the host sneering at it!
The system suffered a severe blow.
At this moment, the sound of tires scraping the ground suddenly came from behind. After a sudden brake, a vehicle that was almost blending into the night stopped slowly.
"Wait, where are you going?!"
An unfamiliar male voice.
Du You looked back, just in time to see a figure stepping down from the car.
It seemed that he had just participated in some event, he was wearing a suit, and his hair had been carefully groomed. But at this moment, he stood in the drizzle without any scruples, letting the raindrops hit his body and wet his shoulders.
Compared with before, his appearance has not changed at all. The hair has grown a bit, reaching to the ears. Thin bangs hang on the eyebrows, and the eyebrows and eyes are slightly hostile. The amber pupils beneath it shine brightly even in the dark.
It's just that when he saw Du You's face clearly, the inherent hostility disappeared immediately. Although the temperament is much more mature, the expression shown at this moment is not mature at all.
"Why don't you open an umbrella, really!"
The man who spoke just now murmured, and walked down from the co-pilot with an umbrella. The artist who was about to support him was dodged.
In other words, the young man ignored him completely, but walked forward step by step.
Of course, the manager also noticed the strange man in front of the platform. But just feel puzzled.
Since his debut, he has full control over the whereabouts of his artists, and he is also very clear about his circle of friends and relatives. But I never knew that Haoyu knew such a person.
One of them stood on the platform and the other stood by the side of the road. The rain was still falling, making the young man's hair a little wet and limp.
Step by step, he finally stood on the platform and stood in front of Du You.
System akimbo: [Look at the host, trust me!]
Du You was about to speak. In the next second, the palm of his hand was grabbed.
The other party was very strong, as if confirming, he held his hand tightly.
You Haoyu lowered his head, his eyes fell on the connected hands of the two.
Familiar touch, familiar temperature.
Tracing the lines on his palm, he twitched the corner of his mouth: "...it's not an illusion."
Du You also looked down at the opponent's hand. Then, pull it out and hold the opponent with your backhand.
The palms are more closely connected together.
Feeling this move, You Haoyu raised his eyes and looked into Du You's eyes.
As usual, eyes as deep as a cold pool. In the eyes of the other party, you can see yourself.
"..."
You Haoyu lowered his head and rested his forehead on the opponent's shoulder.
He imagined many scenes of reunion, and also rehearsed countless times what he would say at that time. He had waited so long that he thought he was fully prepared.
But when that person came to me suddenly without any warning, those feelings that had been chewed on thousands of times, I didn't know how to express them.
There are many emotions in my heart, and there are many things I want to say. But in the end, he was forced to suppress him, and said in a low voice:
"Welcome back."
