The girl's low, soft, sad voice, her clear eyes sparkling with tears, she felt sorry for him with all her heart, and felt sad and guilty for not doing anything.
"Ye Xiao" had long lost his warmth, and his heart, as cold and hard as ice, softened involuntarily.
He took a step closer, and his voice became gentler: "It's not your fault."
Lin Tan Tan shook his head: "I have thought since I was a child, if I had a way to go back and change your fate, that would be great. Even at the moment before I died, I thought so, but I did nothing, you are still the same... But, but if I didn't go to a parallel world at that time, but really went back to the past, then would you be like Ye Xiao now? Then where did the real you go? There would be no you in front of me now."
She looked confused: "So, in fact, I wanted to destroy you from the beginning?"
Ye Xiao's heart trembled, and his eyes became softer. He walked over and touched her head with his translucent hand, like touching a lost kitten: "It's not like that. If you can change my fate and save... those people, I will be grateful to you. That is not to destroy me, it will only make me a better me. But it is not your fault now."
He paused, a hint of warmth flashing in his eyes, making him feel warm and gentle. "At least, you have made me a better person in this world, and allowed Bai Cheng and the others in this world to survive. I am very grateful to you."
Lin Tan looked at him in a daze.
"Ye Xiao" laughed, his eyes were gentle and encouraging: "You did a great job, my little fan."
"Really?"
"Really, when I see this world, I feel comforted." So it's not that you didn't help me. Putting aside the slight jealousy and resentment, he felt warm in his heart when he thought that there was such a little fan who tried so hard to protect him, help him, pity him and remember him.
He stretched out his hand and hugged her lightly. Although it was just a translucent human figure, there was a hint of strength.
Lin Tantan couldn't tell what she felt. She closed her eyes slightly, and hot tears fell. She murmured, "I'm sorry."
Suddenly I remembered the only surviving video of him that I saw when I was a child. In the old and blurry video, the man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his gaze was calm and resolute. Every word he said was powerful and full of strength. He said: "No matter when, no matter what the situation, never abandon, never betray, and never give up!"
This sentence was like a shot of adrenaline in her body. When she was young, she was very tired every day. She had thought about giving up, but every time she saw her parents' expectant eyes hiding their worries, she still gritted her teeth and persevered. The appearance of Ye Xiao and his words gave her a kind of spiritual guidance and sustenance, allowing her to hold on until the appearance of her mentor, and also allowing her to persevere in the painful training afterwards.
Never give up at any time.
She always remembers it.
But she also knew that he himself did not actually fully achieve this statement.
For various reasons, he had to abandon his comrades one by one and watch them die. Sometimes human power is really limited. Faced with extremely harsh living conditions and irreversible fate, one is really powerless.
She didn't know how much pain, hope and determination Ye Xiao had in his heart when he said that, nor did she know whether he thought of those words when he finally blew himself up.
She just wanted this man to experience fewer moments of having to give up, and to have less haze in his heart, less and less, preferably none at all.
She did it. She changed Ye Xiao in this world, so that he didn’t even have to comprehend the heaviness behind these words. But she didn’t do anything. At least, she was powerless towards this “Ye Xiao”.
The black fog slowly dissipated, revealing Ye Xiao standing not far away. His face was almost completely black, and his eyes fell on the hand holding Lin Tan Tan, but the violence in his eyes disappeared. He also heard what Lin Tan Tan said.
"Ye Xiao" raised his head and looked at him with a provocative look. Lin Tan Tan also sensed something and turned around to see Ye Xiao. Her eyes lit up: "Ye Xiao."
Ye Xiao walked over quickly, held the hand that Lin Tantan extended to him, touched her hair with his other hand, and then shook out a small blanket on the back of her wheelchair and covered her legs with it: "Don't catch a cold."
Then he looked at "Ye Xiao" and said with a smile: "Thank you for coming to talk."
That's not wrong. Although she didn't say it out loud, she still felt sorry for not being able to change her idol's fate. She just didn't want to use this incident to ruin their relationship, so no one ever spoke about it.
And now that "Ye Xiao" has come this time, she can finally let go completely.
He stared at "Ye Xiao" with a fake smile.
"Ye Xiao" raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at this guy who had the same past as himself. Even though they were in different parallel worlds, they could be said to be the same person before the end of the world. He had a little bit of a subtle feeling. Is he so petty
It's really hard to imagine.
Anyway, he would not be such a petty person.
The two guys looked at each other and walked away. "Ye Xiao" glanced at Lin Tan Tan and said with a smile: "I should go now."
Lin Tantan looked worried: "Where are you going? What's your situation now?"
"Ye Xiao" smiled and said: "That world has set me free. As for where to go, there can't be two Ye Xiaos in this world. Anyway, the universe is vast, and I have my own place to go. Maybe I will have a better fate than the one in your family."
Lin Tantan wanted to ask more questions, but she didn't know how to ask. She glanced at Ye Xiao, and then said to "Ye Xiao": "Then... Have a good trip."
"Ye Xiao" nodded slightly and said to Ye Xiao: "Take good care of her, otherwise, I will stand up for my little fan."
Ye Xiao's face was a little dark, but he still nodded: "Take care of yourself first." Although his tone was not very good, it was still very sincere.
"Ye Xiao" slowly disappeared under the gaze of the two.
Lin Tantan looked at the empty place, feeling a little disappointed. Ye Xiao pressed her shoulder and said, "Don't worry."
Lin Tan Tan held his hand with her backhand and leaned gently into his arms: "Ye Xiao, I..."
"No need to explain, I understand."
"Ye Xiao" who left their sight was in a good mood. It would be great if the noisy voice in his mind could also disappear.
"What do you mean? I let you here to destroy them. What have you done?" The rigid voice spoke the angry words in a flat tone, which seemed particularly weird.
"Ye Xiao" said indifferently: "Destroy it. I have destroyed it before, but you can see that they have a good relationship."
"You can take her with you."
"That requires me to take it away. How can I do something that you can't do?"
"As long as she agrees."
"How could she agree to that? She's not stupid."
"You didn't ask her, and you didn't confuse her."
"I won't confuse people."
"You have to know that you are already dead, and I kept you alive."
"Ye Xiao" stopped and sneered: "Then let me die again. I didn't want to live in the first place. Did I beg you to let me live?"
The voice stopped talking, as if it was choked. After a while, it said angrily, "Do you think I really can't do anything to you?"
"Ye Xiao" remained silent, he was fearless. This was not based on strength, but on his indifference to life and death. He really had not wanted to live for a long time, otherwise he would not have self-destructed. Although the little fan touched him a lot, he had lost his will to die after so much time had passed, but this did not mean that he was afraid of death.
It would be nice if he could survive and see a wider world, but he would not be controlled by the threat of complete death. He agreed to break the rules of the world and make trouble because he wanted to see his little fans and this world with his own eyes.
Seeing that the world is so good, he feels at ease and satisfied. His little fans are also very nice and he has nothing to worry about.
That voice, which is the world rules of another world, was helpless against his stubborn attitude. If a person is not afraid of death and doesn't care about it, then there is really nothing that can be done to him.
Suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere in front of him. "Ye Xiao" looked at him calmly, but the voice seemed to be strangled by the neck and suddenly he couldn't speak.
"Ye Xiao" could even feel that it was afraid.
An old man with gray hair, a kind smile, and an ancient robe appeared in front of him. He looked at "Ye Xiao" with a smile: "Young man, are you willing to come with me?"
"Ye Xiao" looked at him and smiled, "Okay."
The old man choked. He didn't expect him to be so straightforward. He touched his head and also said straightforwardly, rolling up his sleeves: "Okay, let's go." The two of them disappeared on the spot in an instant.
In an unknown space somewhere, an old man and a young man were talking as they left.
"Boy, you are really not curious about my origins."
"consult."
"Hey, old man, I was once guided to find a disciple in this area. I searched in every world for a long time. I thought it was that little girl, but she didn't want to die, so I taught her how to live. Later, she died. I asked her if she was willing to go with me. She said she wanted to change her fate. I could only send her to this world. After all the trouble, I thought it was a wasted trip, but I didn't expect to meet you before leaving. This is our fate. From now on, you will be my last disciple. Our mountain gate is in a very high, very high place..."
In the empty place, only a tentacle of the world rules of another world was wandering aimlessly, and it was soon kicked away by a corner of the world rules of this world.
Ye Xiao sensed all this and remained silent.
The world rules said: "If we continue to work hard, we may be stronger than those worlds."
Ye Xiao said: "I don't need to be stronger than anyone else." As long as his little girl is always by his side, that's enough.
There was a sound of a wheelchair sliding behind him. Ye Xiao turned his head and saw Lin Tan Tan pressing the button on the wheelchair armrest and looking at him worriedly: "Ye Xiao."
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "The meal will be ready soon, go play for a while."
Lin Tantan didn't leave, but watched him busy in the kitchen.
The food was soon served. After they finished eating, Ye Xiao accompanied her to practice her supernatural powers for a while, and then the sky gradually darkened.
Lin Tan Tan held Ye Xiao's hand and said, "Let's go look at the stars."
Ye Xiao naturally agreed with a smile.
They sat beside a big tree, looking at the sky full of stars and identifying the constellations. Ye Xiao could always quickly identify which constellation a star belonged to. Lin Tan Tan asked him why he could recognize it, and Ye Xiao said that he would remember it after seeing it many times.
Lin Tan Tan thought of those three hundred years. She looked at him and asked, "If only I could be with you at that time and watch the stars with you."
Ye Xiao held her hand, his eyes tenderly: "Aren't we watching it together now?"
Lin Tan laughed, then the smile slowly faded away. She looked into his eyes and said, "In one's life, one will meet many people of extraordinary significance. He is very important to me, but you are the most important to me. You two are different, and I know that very well."
Ye Xiao lowered his eyes and stroked the back of her delicate hand: "I know, I know. I am very grateful to him, because of him you came to me, and he was the one who gave you strength when you were a child." This was his blessing, but also his regret. He regretted that that person was not himself.
Lin Tan Tan was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Not only him, you also gave me strength, teacher."
Ye Xiao was stunned.
Lin Tan smiled with curved eyebrows: "After I completely merged with this body, I had some different memories in my mind, or details. For example, I felt someone watching me secretly several times when I was a child. For example, I felt that the personality and certain habits of the teacher in my memory were different from those in the memory of a long time ago. Moreover, the teacher was more patient, more careful, and more gentle to me. I thought about it for a long time, and it was as if the teacher in my memory had become a different person."
She smiled and said, "So the new teacher is you, right?"
Ye Xiao's eyes flashed.
Lin Tan Tan leaned on his shoulder and said softly: "This time, you grew up with me, thank you."
Ye Xiao's heart seemed to be filled with joy. He touched her head and kissed her on the forehead: "It is my honor to grow up with you."
Lin Tan was laughing and hugging his arm, when he suddenly cried out "ouch".
Ye Xiao asked nervously: "What's wrong?"
Lin Tantan used his hand to sit up and touched his legs: "I just stretched my legs."
"Really?"
Lin Tantan tried hard to lift her legs, and she actually managed to do so. She was filled with surprise and joy: "My legs can move! Ye Xiao, help me up and I'll see if I can walk."
Ye Xiao disagreed: "Let's take it slow and do it step by step."
"I really think I can walk. Just let me try."
Ye Xiao couldn't beat her, so he could only help her up and let her hold his arms with both hands. He slowly backed away and led her forward.
She took a trembling step, her legs were as soft as noodles, and she couldn't stand steadily at all. The weight of her whole body almost completely fell on Ye Xiao, but she was still full of joy: "Look, look, I can really walk!"
"I saw it." Ye Xiao looked worried: "Does it hurt? Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"
Lin Tantan took a few more steps and threw herself into his arms, panting but laughing happily. She looked at him with bright eyes: "Ye Xiao, I can stand up now!"
Ye Xiao helped her wipe the sweat off her forehead, smiled and nodded: "Yes, you can stand up, you can still walk."
Lin Tan put her arms around his neck, pushed him down and kissed him, then leaned against his forehead and whispered, "I'm really happy."
Ye Xiao saw the glistening sweat on her fair and smooth skin, as well as a layer of fine hair that looked soft and lovely.
And the heat that blew away when she spoke.
Ye Xiao had been hiding in the dark and watching her silently for twenty years. He had also personally wiped her body when she was unconscious. But at that time, his heart was calm and he only had pity and love without any distractions. But at this moment, his heart was pounding and he couldn't help but want to get close to her.
His eyes fell on her rosy lips that were upturned at the corners of her mouth, and he was slightly silent.
This time he didn't restrain himself. He gently held the back of her head and bent down to kiss her.
Lin Tan Tan only felt a pair of soft lips covering her lips. She trembled slightly, and the lips had already wrapped around her tenderly.
Her breathing soon became rapid, and her arms around his neck tightened.
Their lips and tongues intertwined, and the air seemed to be burning.
It took a long time before they separated. Lin Tantan was almost completely lifted up by him. Her legs had no strength at all. Even her hands seemed to have lost their strength. She grabbed the clothes on his back and panted softly in his ear: "Ye Xiao, carry me in."
Ye Xiao's eyes suddenly sank, but he did not move immediately, his voice was slightly hoarse: "Your body..."
Lin Tan Tan said: "My body has been healed for a long time, my legs are healed." She murmured softly and even kissed Ye Xiao's ear.
Ye Xiao's body stiffened and his breathing became heavier. He was silent for a moment. When she called him "Ye Xiao" in a coquettish tone, he suddenly picked her up and strode into the house.
…
Ye Xiao suddenly left the table that day. Bai Cheng had been worried since he helped him calm everyone down. However, things didn't seem as bad as he thought. The next day, when Ye Xiao informed him that he would be taking a few days off, he couldn't hide the joy in his voice.
Bai Cheng was relieved.
Anyway, things have been almost arranged, so it’s okay for him to take a few days off.
Then a few days later, I received another notice from him, asking everyone to get together and formally introduce the current Lin Tan to them.
Nowadays, the whole country has roughly restored its territory before the end of the world. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and the reconstruction work is not very easy. Of the eight-member team back then, except for Ye Xiao, who was half a hands-off boss, Bai Cheng mainly stayed in Liang City, Xu Li was already free, and the others went to other big cities. As a local governor, they were in charge of the affairs of at least one or two provinces.
Other capable and meritorious people can also mostly manage a city.
Just like Fan Wuyong who surrendered with the capital base, he is now the manager of a city with a population of 500,000.
After receiving the news, these people immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed back.
Let’s gather in Linyuan.
Lin Tantan is still in a wheelchair. Now she can walk a few steps without using her hands, but it is still difficult for her to stand for a long time. It is usually more convenient for her to sit in a wheelchair.
Mei Bosheng got off the improved version of the divine machine, and when he saw her, his eyes widened, and then his eyes turned red: "Let's talk?"
Lin Tan Tan nodded with a smile: "Mei Mei, hello."
"I'm glad you're okay." Although the current Tan Tan does not look exactly the same as the previous one, Mei Baisheng still recognized him at a glance. Ye Xiao did not tell everyone about Lin Tan Tan's death and the series of events that followed. Only Bai Cheng and Xu Qin knew something about it, but others could only guess some of it.
At the beginning, Ye Xiao did not announce Lin Tantan’s death, but just said that she had left here, and everyone was waiting for her to come back one day.
And now, she is really back.
After Mei Baisheng, there were Xu Qin, Zhong Xiong, Jiang Xiaotian, Cheng Qinan and others, including Bai Cheng and Xu Li who had already known the news, and everyone was very happy for her.
Just like they did in the apartment in Yang City, everyone prepared a table of food, sat around the table, drank and ate, talked about the past, and discussed future plans, just to thank Lin Tan and celebrate a small victory.
Ye Xiao sat next to Lin Tan Tan, taking care of her in every detail. When he was talking to other people, he would reach out his hand under the table to hold hers. When they looked at each other from time to time, their eyes were full of affection, which made the single guys almost jealous.
I said I won’t disturb their world of two and we’ll meet again next time.
This made Lin Tan Tan feel a little embarrassed.
Ye Xiao said: "They also have meetings to attend when they come back, and they have other things to do, so let them go."
Lin Tan Tan watched the divine planes fly away and asked, "Have all the divine planes been transformed?"
"Well, it's called an energy machine now. There are still quite a few mutant birds, so energy machines are safer. I brought a lot of technology this time. Long-range energy machines are already being designed, and flights from China to other countries will be opened soon."
Ye Xiao took Lin Tantan's hand and walked slowly on the lawn: "It's about extracting energy. The progress of making energy stones is not very smooth. Do you want to take this job?"
"Me?" Lin Tan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "In that case, I will become the richest man in the world in the future."
In that world, the production of energy stones was mostly a state-controlled industry, but a few large companies had established connections and were allowed to produce and sell them on their own. Then those large companies occupied a certain proportion of the market, and each of them became extremely wealthy. They could be said to be the economic pillars of the country.
Not to mention that this technology was kicked out of their country more than two hundred years in advance, and for a long time in the future, foreign countries will have to import it from them.
Ye Xiao touched her head: "Besides me, you are the only one who knows more about energy stones. I don't have time to do this."
Lin Tan Tan thought about it and laughed: "Okay, from now on you just wait for me, a rich woman, to support you!"
She also wants to make the best wind energy stone for him.
In this world, wind energy, space energy and other energies should continue to exist, rather than being assimilated by the five elements. She is looking forward to the birth of colorful energy stones!
Ye Xiao continued to hold her and walk slowly: "Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired. I'll walk a little longer... My wood ability has become stronger, and my other abilities are recovering quickly."
“That’s good.”
"Should I work in a hospital again in the future?"
"If you have time and are happy, you can work in the hospital."
"… "
"… "
The two walked farther and farther away, and the woods gradually became quiet. The sunlight danced quietly on the lake, and the wind blew through the lush branches and leaves, making a rustling sound.
The author has something to say: At the end of the story, I finally gave them a car, although I didn't even see the exhaust haha! I'm done writing here, and I suddenly feel so reluctant to let it go. Thank you little angels for supporting me here, see you next time~~
The next book might be "The Little Fairy of the God of War" (with a different copy and story):
Bai Xiaoqiao is a lonely ghost who slept into the interstellar age and became the only ghost in the world. In this technologically advanced era, she has no way to reincarnate and worries about her soul being torn apart every day. Until she finds that her soul can be stabilized in the mental magnetic field of a young man who was exiled to mine, so she follows him every day.
Later he discovered that physical contact could gain energy from the other person, so the boy felt like he was being taken advantage of by the air every day.
Later, the mine collapsed and Bai Xiaoqiao was buried underground to protect the boy.
As everyone knows, the Imperial Military God Ling and his wife are extremely loving, and the people of the empire are fed dog food every day.
However, no one knew that this love was all fake. The God of War had someone he loved but lost his beloved in his youth. The long-term grief and depression made him mentally disordered and his life was in danger several times. In order to treat him, the butler found someone to pretend to be his lover.
Bai·High-paid substitute wife·Xiaoqiao put her arms around the God of War's neck tenderly: Husband~Did you miss me today
Lingzhou lowered his eyes and looked at her calmly, then he put his arm around her waist and kissed her on the lips: "I thought about it."
Bai Xiaoqiao was overjoyed after completing her daily tasks. She turned around with a worried look on her face and found the housekeeper: "Uncle housekeeper, Ling Shen's condition has not improved. He still treats me as his lover."
The housekeeper comforted her with a few words, then turned and went into the study: "Sir, the lady's condition does not seem to be getting better, and there is no sign of her memory recovering."
Lingzhou stood facing the window, looking at the girl humming a song while watering the flowers in the garden, his eyes calm and soft: "It's okay, as long as she is happy."
