History always repeats itself surprisingly well.
Xiao Lin Tantan and Ye Xiao didn't know that in the past - or rather, in the past that no longer existed, the old man was very disdainful of his young disciple who always took a dead man as a role model to learn from. He was often jealous overtly or covertly. Although he was eyeing a woman's skin on the surface and had to pretend to be elegant and intellectual, the occasional unhappiness he revealed was still caught by the alert young disciple.
This time the teacher was changed to Ye Xiao, and the situation was exactly the same, except that the jealousy was mixed with something more subtle and complicated.
However, he was still very happy and satisfied to be able to accompany the little girl as she grew up.
The little girl grew up little by little, and her messy supernatural powers were gradually controlled by her, and she became docile and docile. Both of them couldn't tell how much sweat and tears they had gone through in the process. She was extremely talented and could understand many things at a glance. Ye Xiao felt that if he hadn't learned carefully from the old man who appeared from time to time, he would not be able to teach her at all.
And during her successful growth, the country finally paid attention to her as a unique person with five-element abilities and provided her with a lot of material support.
Ye Xiao especially wanted to negotiate a rejection on behalf of Lin, because he knew that such support would require her to repay it with several years of work in the future.
However, he still couldn't do anything and could only watch the government people come into contact with the Lin family.
By the time Lin Tantan was fourteen years old, she had already firmly entered the ranks of masters. Ye Xiao recommended her to work in the National Central Hospital, just as the old man "once" did.
Oh, by the way, Ye Xiao has now replaced the old man's identity, and naturally also replaced his job in the hospital. Fortunately, the old man taught him some tricks, otherwise he would definitely be exposed if he pretended to be a wood-type mutant.
I watched her become a therapist, watched her get her own clinic, watched her start seeing patients, watched her fame rise.
The old man appeared beside Ye Xiao again: "It's time for you to 'disappear'." At that time, when he saw that his young disciple was on the right track, he gradually disappeared from her life.
Ye Xiao was silent for a moment: "I know."
Ye Xiao gradually reduced the number of times he appeared in front of Lin Tan Tan. When he occasionally appeared, the little girl would reveal a look of surprise and look up at him, like a little swallow that finally found its mother: "Teacher, where have you been all this time?"
Ye Xiao touched her head: "Are you used to being in the hospital?"
"Yes, I am now on the Ministry of Health's staff. I have a very high level position, with a lot of salary and bonuses. I think I also have several honorary titles, but I'm not sure... The hospital director is very kind, and the patients respect me. The Ministry of Health has also approved two people to take care of my daily life."
Ye Xiao smiled: "Do you like your current life?"
Lin Tan Tan thought for a moment and said, "It's just that I'm a little bit unfree, but everything else is fine." She smiled with a little excitement, her eyes sparkling, "Compared to before, I'm a particularly useful person now. My parents are also very proud of me, and everyone respects me. It turns out that creating your own value feels like this. I feel very down-to-earth. All the time I learned before has come in handy."
Ye Xiao felt a little sad. His little girl really deserved better and the best treatment.
He touched her head and said, "Then do your best, teacher... I may have to go to some places, and the chances to see you will become less and less in the future."
Lin Tantan was a little reluctant and pulled at his clothes, but finally nodded: "I understand, teacher, go do your own thing. You have worked hard all these years. I, I don't know how to repay you. I will always remember you."
Ye Xiao couldn't help but reach out and hug her.
The little girl hugged his waist tightly.
The little girl wrote in her diary that day: The teacher is leaving. I had a premonition a long time ago. I knew she must not be an ordinary person, and her identity must not be as simple as it seems. Although I am reluctant to let her go, I have let the teacher worry about me for so many years, and I can't cling to her like a child anymore.
I will have to walk the rest of my life on my own.
She finally wrote: The teacher's embrace is so soft, warm, and fragrant, just like my mother's embrace, but with more strength. I also want to be someone like her and Ye Shen who can bring strength to others.
In fact, the embrace was not soft nor fragrant, and Ye Xiao did not want to be compared with a certain Ye Shen: "..."
With his sleight of hand gone, Ye Xiao began to silently pay attention to the little girl's daily life like a peeping Tom. As the little girl's abilities became stronger and stronger, he could not get too close to her, and he also had to constantly improve his skills in hiding.
It was an accident that the flaw was revealed accidentally, because Ye Xiao found that the little girl often liked to hold the electronic screen and look at something with a sly smile recently, which made her cheeks flushed and her eyes shining. He was very curious and worried that she had seen something she shouldn't have, so he couldn't help but explore it.
He has not interfered in anything and done nothing over the years, but he has secretly learned a lot of skills. It is possible for him to quietly check what the little girl is looking at.
Then he felt like the world was turned upside down.
The little girl was reading a novel, a fan fiction, a fan fiction of "Ye Xiao". This was not surprising. When she was a child, she loved to read various derivative works with "Ye Xiao" as the protagonist. Ye Xiao also took a look at them. They were all passionate and patriotic battle novels. He felt a little jealous but didn't take it to heart. He also felt a little awkward and seldom paid attention to these things.
After all, what he should know about "Ye Xiao" was what he learned in the years after the end of the apocalypse. He knew better than anyone else of this era what his past was like before the apocalypse, and what "Ye Xiao" had done when he spent the apocalypse in this world.
For this reason, he could only say that some people have really big imaginations and are very good at making up stories out of nothing.
But who could tell him why a story that was supposed to be about battles turned into a romance novel? And in nine out of ten books, the person he was in love with was Bai Cheng
Ye Xiao suddenly remembered that the little girl once misunderstood that there was something going on between him and Bai Cheng.
His face turned green in an instant.
He turned around slowly with a stiff neck and saw the girl in the wheelchair holding her red face and giggling as she read the novel. She was also tapping on the page with her ten fingers flying. Soon, a new message popped up on the electronic screen in his hand under the novel page -
Holding high the banner of Ye Bai: Ahhh! The author, please keep updating! I really want to know if they kissed or not!
Followed by a string of reward symbols.
Yes, the little girl is a wealthy reader.
Ye Xiaoka rubbed and crushed the small instrument in his hand, and the electronic screen disappeared instantly.
The infatuated person not far away immediately changed his expression and sat up alertly: "Who!"
Ye Xiao walked away with a gloomy face.
The people around Lin Tan Tan began to search everywhere. They were always on guard against people from other countries or some strange organizations lurking around Lin Tan Tan and secretly plotting some conspiracy.
It became difficult for Ye Xiao to keep a close eye on Lin Tantan silently, but he didn't want to face him for the time being. After struggling for a long time, he bought several popular fan fictions on the market. After staying up all night to finish reading them, his eyes were dull with a faint light, and the whole person seemed to be sublimated. What was left here was just his body.
I must focus on the entertainment industry when I return. President Ye thought silently that he would never allow such a romantic scandal to be left in his world for future generations.
No, he is already married. No matter how imaginative people are, they won't think that much about him and Bai Cheng, right? But just in case, stay away from Bai Cheng, and find a chance to find a wife for Bai Cheng.
Ye Xiao nodded secretly and fell asleep in a hurry. It was really a thrilling day.
As the days went by, Lin Tantan's abilities grew stronger, his reputation grew better, his fame grew louder, and his status in the country grew higher.
She had grown up, into a big girl. She became more stable in front of others, and her... supernatural powers began to collapse.
Ye Xiao watched her listen to the doctor's conclusion, watched her sit in the room, watched her change from being lively and bright to being silent, watched her silently figure it out, silently accept this fate, and then smile at her parents and relatives again, and in turn persuade them not to be sad.
Ye Xiao felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
So when he heard those who had interviewed Lin Tan Tan chatting about how they regretted that she was too old and that the posthumous reports were not shocking enough, he took action for the first time - secretly tripping him and causing him to fall with a bloody head.
The country also sent heavy troops to guard the hospital, and the dean advised Lin Tantan not to run around to avoid giving others an opportunity to take advantage of her. He saw all of this, and he saw with his own eyes that the little girl was silent for a long time, crossing out the pre-death tour plans that she had written in her itinerary during those nights when she sat alone and thought deeply, one by one, and sighed with regret.
A trace of hatred suddenly arose in Ye Xiao's heart.
He left the little girl and wrote down all the people who had given the order to guard her, who were vying for her body, who were planning how to dissect and study her, who were putting pressure on her family and colleagues to warn her, and who were working together to persuade her to "behave".
Then he returned to her side, silently accompanied her, and watched her go through the last period of her life.
Finally, she said goodbye to everything, without any worries, and sat in front of the window in the small room, muttering, "It would be great if I could see Ye Shen." Ye Xiao suddenly felt inexplicably sad.
She closed her eyes.
Her spirit left her body but did not reappear.
The old man appeared again, holding something in his hand, which contained Lin Tantan's soul.
The old man said, "According to the original trajectory, I will take her to find a new body and experience what she should experience. You wait one more day and take her body with you. The rules of the world will take you away."
Ye Xiao was still heartbroken, but he was very calm: "I know."
As for why we have to wait for a whole day, it has something to do with the old man. He originally thought that if he took away Lin Tantan's soul, she would be able to be reborn, so he never interfered in the affairs of this world again. Later, he found that something was wrong, and he thought hard and came up with a solution. Then he came back to freeze the time in this world. A day had passed here.
Sometimes, turning back time is a very simple thing, but when it comes to someone's fate, one must be extremely cautious and must never turn back time and change it easily.
