Earth Era

A moment ago, Zhao Lan was still thinking about Li Yunfan. At this moment, Li Yunfan suddenly stood in front of Zhao Lan.

Zhao Lan couldn't explain how he felt about Li Yunfan in his heart. Zhao Lan only felt that his heart was sour, and there seemed to be a kind of liquid in his eyes that was about to gush out. That feeling... Zhao Lan recalled it for a while before remembering that it felt like the first day he went to kindergarten when he was a child. He had been accustomed to the protection and warmth of his parents and suddenly came to a strange place. In such an environment, I had to face every situation by myself. I spent a whole day in panic and anxiety, and felt like I suddenly saw my parents after school.

But the feeling now is a little different from that time, but the feeling of dependence that Li Yunfan gave Zhao Lan is the same. After several years of getting along with each other, Zhao Lan had long been accustomed to Li Yunfan's existence, and was used to going to Li Yunfan when he encountered difficulties. Later, he suffered a period of losing contact for half a year, and now he suddenly saw Li Yunfan again. Li Yunfan...

But Zhao Lan still hesitated. Zhao Lan whispered and asked: "You...are you really Li Yunfan? Why did you come back so early?"

Li Yunfan said lazily: "Why, you don't welcome me back?"

"Welcome, of course." Zhao Lan lowered his head and whispered.

Li Yunfan still maintained a lazy tone: "Welcome... Maybe our previous calculations were a bit wrong. After all, this universe is too big and magical. Even I can't fully understand it. In that universe During this process, I discovered that before the predetermined time node arrived, our universe had already opened a channel with that universe, so I followed that channel and returned to Earth without any delay."

Zhao Lan nodded slightly: "So that's it."

"So... do you mind giving me a hug?" Li Yunfan said with a smile, "My arms are already sore."

Zhao Lan chuckled, then flew over like a happy bird, jumped into Li Yunfan's arms, and hugged Li Yunfan tightly. Feeling the warmth coming from Li Yunfan's arms, Zhao Lan's tears flowed out for no apparent reason.

"Hey. This is right." Li Yunfan's words were still lazy, and he also wrapped his arms back. While hugging Zhao Lan, he gently patted Zhao Lan's back.

At this moment, there are stars in the sky, and the evening breeze of the summer night is blowing. Although the city is still flashing neon lights, it is very peaceful, without any noise or noise. Just under the huge sculpture of Zhao Huasheng in the center of Watson Square. Zhao Lan and Li Yunfan hugged each other tightly.

Looking at this scene, it seems that Zhao Huasheng's deep and distant gaze in the statue has a little smile.

After hugging for a while, Zhao Lan felt that his emotions gradually relaxed, and he asked the question that had been lingering in his heart and had not found the answer for several years: "Why did you steal my spaceship in the first place?"

"Before answering this question... let me ask you a question first." Li Yunfan said, "Do you feel that I am very familiar? It seems like someone you have known for a long time, but you can't remember who I am anyway. .”

Zhao Lan asked: "How do you know?"

"Of course I know." Li Yunfan put on a deep smile again: "Ever since your parents passed away, I have been by your side, present everywhere around you. A passerby you met by chance on the road. You go The waiter at the milk tea shop, the classmates you meet occasionally in class, the tourists you meet when traveling... they could all be me."

Zhao Lan broke away from Li Yunfan's arms. Looking at Li Yunfan's face with confusion, he continued to ask: "This...how do you say this?"

"It's very simple." Li Yunfan smiled and continued to hug Zhao Lan over. "Because I have been paying attention to you since a long time ago. I exist in every corner of your life, protecting you and helping you secretly. Otherwise, how could your life be so smooth? A fatherless and helpless person. Mother, no relatives, only a little girl with the title of a descendant of Zhao Huasheng... How could she not encounter even a little bit of social ugliness? Let me tell you this, if I remember correctly, after all these years, Yes. I have helped you solve a total of thirty-seven possible robberies and sixty-nine possible harassments. As for making things difficult for you maliciously and being framed behind your back, I don’t know how many I have solved."

Zhao Lan was slightly startled and couldn't help but fall into memories. Zhao Lan had lamented his own success before, lamenting that he had finished his school career calmly and found a very satisfying job, but his sigh at that time did not make Zhao Lan think any deeper. Now when I hear Li Yunfan say this... Zhao Lan recalls it, and it seems that this is really the case. I really have never encountered any difficulties in my life. The only thing he encountered was being teased by the scum policeman under the pranks of An Liya and his gang, but at that time Li Yunfan had already fallen into another empty universe and was not in this world.

Could it be that... it was really like what Li Yunfan said, that he... had always been by his side? Ever since his parents died, ever since he became an orphan, have you always been by his side?

Zhao Lan completely believed what Li Yunfan said, because if he were a stranger, he would not have such a clear understanding of his life experience.

But...why is this? Why does Li Yunfan keep guarding him?

"I know you must be very curious now." Li Yunfan said with a smile, "Of course I will tell you the reason."

Zhao Lan did not respond to this sentence, but Li Yunfan knew that Zhao Lan must be listening carefully. So Li Yunfan continued to speak, and his voice began to become distant: "That was probably almost twenty years ago... At that time, I was doing random things in the world with a little cleverness, but under an accidental situation, I met an old man. I can't describe the wisdom of that old man. Even now, I still feel that his wisdom is as boundless as the ocean. He seems to know everything in this world, whether it is technology or culture. Life or art, he knows it all.”

"The old man accepted me as his apprentice and educated me for seven years. Yes, all my achievements now are based on the education I received during those seven years." Li Yunfan said leisurely , "Twelve years ago, that is, the year your parents passed away, the old man told me that he was leaving the earth and he had one thing to ask me for."

Li Yunfan lowered his head, stared at Zhao Lan in his arms, and said softly: "Yes, just as you thought, what he asked me to do is to let me take good care of you."

Zhao Lan couldn't imagine how many secrets that had been reduced to the past were contained in Li Yunfan's understatement, but Zhao Lan knew that the story must be exciting. An old man who is full of wisdom and knows almost everything, and a young man who has a high IQ but is not doing his job...the two together interpret a touching story. In the ending of the story, the old man left the earth, but Li Yunfan became the most legendary and mysterious figure in human civilization.

So...who is that old man? Why did he entrust Li Yunfan to take care of him?

Before Zhao Lan could ask the question, Li Yunfan said: "Don't ask me. Until I separated from the old man, the old man didn't tell me who he was or why he entrusted me to take care of you. As for him, I don’t know where I went after I left the earth. I only know... He completely changed my life. I respect him and worship him. What he told me to do, I will do it even if I give my life. .”

Zhao Lan's mind was also filled with doubts. Even if Zhao Lan thought hard, Zhao Lan still couldn't figure out who the mysterious, wise old man Li Yunfan said was and why he did this. Zhao Lan thought that he would probably be troubled by this problem for a long time in the future and would not be able to sleep well.

Li Yunfan was still speaking slowly, and his words were full of affection unknowingly: "Zhao Lan, I have been watching you for twelve years. I have watched you grow from a middle school student to now. Zhao Lan Lan, in my heart, you are like a bright pearl, crystal clear and spotless. You have never been contaminated by evil. You are always full of kindness in your heart. Even if you are wronged or bullied by others, You always forgive others without knowing it. You are always kind to others, and you are always willing to do your best to help others. In my life, I have never seen another person as kind as you. It seems that I have never seen anyone as kind as you. A girl whose body and soul exude the light of holiness.”

"When I first received the old man's commission, I was very impatient with you, but after a while, I was deeply fascinated by your kindness. From that time on, I made up my mind that in my life, I must stay with you until we both grow old and enter the grave."

"So...Zhao Lan, are you willing to stay with me?"

Zhao Lan struggled in his heart for a long time, but the words "I do" never came out of his throat. After a long time, Zhao Lan opened his mouth, but instead of answering the question, he asked: "You haven't told me yet... why did you steal my spaceship in the first place?"

The smile at the corner of Li Yunfan's mouth quickly turned into a bitter smile: "If I don't steal your spaceship...how can I contact you? At that time, I had already planned a series of procedures for contacting you, but who could have thought of me? We will encounter such an accident." (To be continued~^~)
