Dragon Clan: Restart your life

Sunlight falls into the house through the skylight on the second floor.

The mahogany floor gradually warms up under the warmth of the sun.

The sound of bare feet stepping on the wooden floor was a little hasty, and there was a burst of movement in the house.

"Mako, have you seen my tie?"

"Mako, where is my suit?"

"Mako..."

The sliding door leading to the second floor balcony was suddenly opened by Akira Sakurai.

Today was the day to greet the adults and ladies, and it was also the day before the wedding. He clearly set the alarm clock for 6 o'clock, but when he woke up, the hour hand of the bedside alarm clock pointed to 8, which made his hair stand on end and he woke up suddenly.

"Mako..."

The sliding door swung open, and the light reflected from the transparent glass of the balcony shone into his eyes, making him unable to open his eyes for a while.

Sakurai Akira subconsciously stopped talking and turned his head. When he looked again, his eyes were instantly occupied by the girl's youthful and energetic curves.

The standard flying bird pose in yoga.

Facing the early morning sunshine and fog, the girl put on a tight sports vest, her yoga pants were changed into shorts due to the weather, and a towel was wrapped around her neck.

This scene is enough to move anyone, whether it's the bright sunshine in the morning, the youthful vitality inadvertently displayed in the girl's yoga movements, or the slender figure that captivates the soul.

So Akira Sakurai was reasonably dumbfounded.

In the quietly flowing morning light, Mako slowly retracted his legs, sweat dripping from his neck and cheeks.

Turning around, he saw Akira Sakurai in a daze.

Under the girl's calm gaze, Sakurai Akira suddenly came back to reality and said awkwardly: "Mako, where did you put my suit and tie? According to the schedule, I need to go to the adults in advance to confirm today's itinerary. …”

Seeing how nervous he looked, Miyamoto Mako couldn't help but chuckle, and took the initiative to pull him back to the bedroom.

Put on a crisp suit.

Tie well.

Looking at his dog-like self in the mirror, Sakurai loosened his collar and felt a little uncomfortable.

Maybe I'm still not used to wearing suits.

Mako Miyamoto tilted her head: "Why don't you change into something casual?"

"No." Sakurai Akira subconsciously objected, "Today is an adult's wedding, so we must be solemn."

He glanced at the time and hurried to the door, not forgetting to shout: "Zhenzi, I'm leaving first, see you in the academy tonight!"

He rushed out of the hotel room door, came to the underground parking lot, and drove a black car out of the parking lot.

It rained last night, and there was still a lot of water on the ground. The sky was exceptionally blue and clear.

When passing by puddles of water, Sakurai Akira slowed down and followed the route in his memory to a villa area near the suburbs.

Rows of single-family villas with courtyards stood on both sides. Sakurai Akira stopped in front of house number 37.

"Comrade Xiao Ming, good morning!"

The energetic voice came from the neighbor's third floor. Sakurai Akira heard the sound and walked away. A girl in cool clothes waved to him from the third floor balcony. Two swings could be seen behind her.

"Good morning, Miss Natsumi!" Akira Sakurai smiled back.

"Are you here to pick up senior brother and Eri?"

"To be precise, I'm here to pick up the adults and you." Akira Sakurai said helplessly, "The college has issued an ultimatum, strictly ordering me to take you back today."

"Oh oh oh! I'll go back and pack my clothes right now!"

The figure on the third floor balcony disappeared instantly.

If you don't see it, you won't see it.

Sakurai Akira smiled dumbly, pushed open the iron door of the adult's house, and rang the doorbell of the inner door.

But after pressing for a long time, there was still no sound coming from inside, which made Sakurai Akira regret not bringing Mako with him.

He turned his head and saw that the several-story-high sycamore trees in the courtyard were casting shade. Behind the cotton-like clouds, the morning sun was cool and slightly scorching.

Akira Sakurai took a deep breath to ease the helplessness and anxiety in her heart. Today should be a good day...

He reached out and grasped the door handle, and with a sudden force, the door was "teared" down instantly.

A wonderful day starts with changing the door——

The living room on the first floor was quiet.

Akira Sakurai walked along the wooden stairs to the second floor.

at this time.

In the bedroom on the second floor, the curtains were tightly closed, not letting in a ray of morning sunlight, and the fragrance of orchids filled the room elegantly.

Big double bed.

But it was empty.

…

…

"Tomorrow is the wedding, and our protagonist hasn't been arrested yet?"

Mai Shutoku pounded the table angrily.

As he looked, a group of men lowered their heads. Because there were no ants on the ground, everyone could only turn over and over and count how many toes they had...

This is already the countless time in the week since Lu Mingfei and Eriki disappeared that Mai Shutoku has gone crazy.

Although a week ago, everyone quickly found traces of missing persons in a small second-floor bungalow in Lu Mingfei's hometown. By the way, they also found a classmate Xia Mi next door who claimed to be returning home to visit relatives.

Afterwards, Lu Mingfei said that they just felt that the school was too noisy, so they moved back to change the environment for two days. They would definitely come as scheduled for the wedding, which is a major event in life.

Afterwards, everyone discussed and asked Lu Lincheng and his wife to personally go out and watch over the two of them.

Because of the actions of these two people, everyone "imprisoned" Caesar and Chen Motong, who had returned from vacation, almost immediately, for fear that these two people would also suddenly go crazy on a whim.

On the other hand, Chu Zihang is the person they feel most at ease with, and he has already returned to China to pick up Xia Mi.

at this time.

Professor Manstein, who was among the elites of the Student Union and Lionheart Club, coughed:

"Caesar and Nuonuo are currently locked up in the academy by us. Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang have already sent a special plane and issued death orders. If they hurry up, they will arrive this evening."

Mai Shutoku questioned: "Can you guarantee it?"

Manstein was silent for a while and said hesitantly: "The person in charge on the special plane is Lu Mingfei's teacher Guderian. It should be fine...?"

"Why Professor Guderian? There is no one left in the college?"

"... He said that he was the one who took Mingfei back to the college back then, and now it's up to him to take Mingfei back to the college again." Manstein said without confidence, "And the Lu Lincheng couple have always been there, so the problem not very big."

Jiude Mai is so angry that it is difficult to vomit.

Very good, very strong reasons.

Fortunately, the news about Lu Lincheng and his wife gave her a little comfort to her soul, which was always on the verge of going berserk.

"Let's conduct the penultimate actual combat exercise."

The painted eye shadow was sassy and charming. Jiude stood up in linen clothes, pressed his hands on the table, and said word by word,

"We have no time. As the person in charge of this wedding, I will give you a final warning. If anyone causes trouble for me, I will hang him directly on the bell tower!"

A group of Kassel's elites stared at each other, knowing that this senior girl from a foreign school was really capable of doing such a thing.

Just when everyone was fighting hard, united as one, and prepared for a bloody battle.

"Oops! Something happened! Caesar and Chen Motong escaped last night!"

An anxious figure suddenly broke into the conference room, panting and slapping his palm on the table, adding a layer of frost to the newly warm conference room.

Before Mai Shutoku could get angry, Manstein, the director of the college's discipline committee, took the lead and said angrily:

"Asshole! How are you guarding them?! How can such two living people escape? Contact the Gattuso family immediately!"

"We have already contacted them over there..." The student who broke in was very confused, "But the other party said that Caesar is the head of the family now, and they have no reason to control the head of the family."

"Then ask them to provide Caesar's coordinates. If they don't have coordinates, provide consumption records!"

"receive!"

When Manstein wiped his sweat and turned around, Jiude Mai said expressionlessly: "I need to confirm the whereabouts of Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang teams again."

…

"The wedding is such a beautiful and happy day." The vice-principal patted his beer belly and inspected the wedding scene incognito, feeling filled with emotion.

"Vice Principal!" Qilan suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said with a gentle smile, "I need you to give a speech on stage tomorrow. Let's compare the lines."

The vice-principal said in shock: "Why me? Where is Angers?"

"Principal Angers also needs to give a speech." Qi Lan flipped through the wedding ceremony schedule with a confused look on his face, "We have extremely streamlined the process, but there are a lot of processes that must be completed, so please speak faster when the time comes."

The vice-principal glared and said, "How about I go up to the stage and say my best wishes to all the newcomers and then come down?"

"It's possible, it just depends on your own performance." Qilan said seriously.

"Hey." The vice-principal suddenly cheered up, "Qilan, why don't you find someone to take a ride with?"

Qilan was dumbfounded, shook his head and said: "I don't have a favorite partner for the time being. Weddings are not a child's play, so naturally I can't deal with them casually."

The vice-principal sighed: "I hope my son can deal with it casually."

It was a family matter involving the vice-principal, and Qi Lan had no intention of commenting.

"Qilan, are you graduating too? Where are you going after graduation?"

"I should return to my hometown and open a branch campus there. I have already submitted the proposal for the branch campus to the board of directors."

"Branch campus?" The vice-principal was stunned. "Don't we have a branch campus in India?"

"Ah, clasping fists, I made a mistake in my expression." Qilan apologized, "The branch campus we are planning to establish is for all ages. After graduation, students can be sent to Kassel College for further study."

"That means there is no age limit. Are you planning to establish a second Sheqi Eight Family?"

"No, we just want to give everyone a family." Qilan thought for a while and said, "The birth of this idea originated from my childhood. My childhood was related to Professor Guderian and your son Professor Manstein. To a certain extent, they all overlapped and were imprisoned in mental hospitals because they were unsociable and different.”

"After entering Kassel, the teacher will tell us that this is Blood Mourning. Unfortunately, Kassel Academy only admits students of the right age, so I plan to return to my hometown and build a school for all ages, so that they can have a better life. A childhood that was not lonely.”

"Well, it's a good ideal." The vice-principal rubbed his chin, "But in this case, the source of students will be a big problem, right? You can't wait for them to come to you."

"Two of our members have spirit spirits called 'Bloodline Jieluo'. They go to various places every year to find those isolated children with bloodlines and bring them back to our school."

"We may not be able to save everyone, but at least we can save the children we meet. In the academy, we will welcome them, embrace them, and lead them to the right life."

Under the sun, Qilan's smiling face was shrouded in a faint glow. He spoke softly, and his eyes were full of expectations for the future.

The vice-principal narrowed his eyes and was silent for a long time, then clapped softly and said:

"What an amazing young man. Then I can only wish you success."

Qilan bowed slightly: "Thank you. If you have the opportunity, we would like to invite you to the campus to teach the children about alchemy."

"Hahaha, as long as you prepare the wine!" the vice-principal smiled heartily, naturally put his arm around the young man's shoulders, and whispered, "By the way, you will be the host of tomorrow's wedding, right?"

"The male host is me, and the female host is Ms. Mai Shutoku."

"Oh, I heard that tomorrow's bridesmaid group is very gorgeous..."

Qi Lan thought for a while and said politely: "Professor Manstein will also be there tomorrow. He probably won't want to see you mixed in with the bridesmaids."

"What are you thinking about!" The vice-principal looked serious, feeling very sad about the misunderstanding and prejudice against him by the majority of students, "I just want to find a wife for Manstein so that he can have a good home!"

Qilan thought about it: "You should find someone of the same age as Professor Manstein. I heard that Professor Luo Mandi, the former head of the British branch, is still single this year..."

The vice-principal rubbed his chin and said regretfully, "Romandie doesn't like men."

Qi Lan was stunned.

…

…

Kassel today welcomed a group of special guests.

Adjo, who was holding a cane, looked up at the golden door plaque of Kassel College, shook his head and said, "I always feel a little uncomfortable coming to the Dragon Slaying College to attend a wedding."

Before he could enter the academy, Edcho was stunned by the man walking out.

Mars raised his hand to greet him and said with a slightly suspicious look on his face: "Edjo? You are back. Aren't you going to come back with Xia Mi?"

"Xia Mi? Are you talking about Jormungandr?" Mars leaned his cane lightly on the ground and frowned, "That child came to pay me a visit and left the next day."

Mars was silent for a moment: "A week ago you suddenly left in a hurry, not to see Xia Mi? What have you been doing this week?"

"What do you mean?" Ed Qiao was alert, "Did that girl do something in my name?"

"Now I want to know more about what you have been doing this week. Why haven't I contacted you?" Mars asked.

"My week..." Edjo rarely seemed hesitant and hesitated, "His Majesty needs a tour guide, so I will accompany him until he adapts to life in this world, and then I will rush here for the banquet."

Your Majesty, who needs a guide and has not yet adapted to this world...

Of course it can only be that one.

Mars fell into a long silence, and his eyes towards Edjo gradually became weird.

Edjo chuckled.

The atmosphere slowly fell into a strange awkwardness.

Until a certain "18-year-old genius boy who became famous in the design world" happened to pass by.

Nissos came over in surprise: "Your Majesty Edjo? Why are you here? Didn't Xia Mi say that you would come to school with her?"

Edjo: "?"

…

…

Akira Sakurai rushed out of the house and turned to look at the third-floor balcony of the house next door.

The building was empty.

If he guessed correctly...

Akira Sakurai took a deep breath, jumped over the fence, and rang the doorbell on the first floor.

Three minutes later, there was still no sound in the house.

Sakurai Akira gritted his teeth, quietly opened the door lock, and rented in. The result was as he expected.

The eccentric Ms. Xia Mi has disappeared long ago.

What a mess this time, let alone the adults, even Miss Xia Mi in the next room ran away.

He took out his mobile phone and called Mr. Chu. According to common sense, Mr. Chu should not collude with them, but when it came to Miss Xia Mi, he really didn't have much confidence...

soon.

Along with "Sorry, the phone you dialed..."

Sakurai Akira looked up at the sky blankly, slowly turned around, and sat on the steps in front of the door.

"Hey, Mako..."

"Well, what's wrong? The master ran away?"

"Um……"

"oh."

"You...couldn't have expected it, right?"

"Hmm, probably."

"That's probably some kind of answer." Sakurai Akira said helplessly.

"It can only be said to be intuition."

"intuition?"

"Xiao Ming, let's run away too?" Zhenzi said suddenly, with a serious tone, "You can't explain it to everyone when you go back now, why not consider becoming an accomplice with the adults?"

Akira Sakurai smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't it even more difficult to explain when the time comes?"

He suddenly remembered something and said: "Mako, didn't you take a bath with Miss Natsumi and Miss Eri a few days ago?"

"uh-huh?"

"Do you know something..."

"Don't ask about girls' secrets."

Mako Miyamoto raised her head on the balcony. The bright morning sun shone down from between the clouds, and the city under the sky looked particularly clear.

She pursed her lips slightly and sent her blessings to Miss Natsuya and Miss Eriki.

…

…

Chu Zihang walked out of the airport.

A flying bird passed just above him, gliding in the sky.

He stood at the entrance of the airport, his eyes following the tracks of the birds to the infinite blue sky.

This cool autumn after the end of summer gave him a feeling of déjà vu. The same feeling of familiarity also included the clear sky above his head, the warm sunshine, and the tranquility and peace that seemed to be incapable of being erased by any shadow.

He took off his sunglasses and felt a little dazed before he remembered that only one year had passed.

It was the autumn of 2010. At that time, he didn't know his own fate or the fate of the world.

There is just such a person who saw the outcome in advance and stubbornly believed that everything should still have a chance, everything should still be in time, and all bad results can be changed before the wheel of fate finally stops.

And he did.

Those fates that have lasted from the previous generation to this day, the love and hatred that have continued from thousands of years ago, the long and complicated fate that has trapped countless ancestors, ended in the midsummer of this year.

it's all over.

Chu Zihang was very grateful to his junior brother, but the grudges between men were destined to be difficult to describe in words.

Thinking about it carefully, Chu Zihang found that he seemed to have no chance to repay his kindness, so the meaning in his heart became more complicated.

The cell phone ringtone suddenly came to mind.

Chu Zihang picked up the phone and saw his mother on the other side of the phone.

"...Well, I just left the airport."

"I know, please pay more attention to your own safety..."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Zihang stared at the phone in a daze for a long time.

The phone call from my mother, who had already been partying with her girlfriends in Chicago, did not mention that man in every word. He didn't know how to make insinuations. He didn't know where the man had gone. The love he missed was really still there. Is it possible to make amends?

He put down his phone, took a deep breath to fill his lungs with the cool morning air, and then slowly exhaled.

He raised his feet and walked forward, stopped a taxi and headed towards the city.

The driver who was driving along the way chatted with him and asked him if he was a local. He said yes, and the driver excitedly asked him if he was so handsome and had a girlfriend. Chu Zihang said dumbly that he already had a fiancée, and the driver said regretfully What a pity……

He leaned on the back of the seat and looked at the city outside through the taxi window.

He returned to the city again and was invited to participate in a...

hide and seek.

He wants to find the girl again.

On the way back to the city from the airport, Chu Zihang slowly closed his eyes. Memories that had been blurry in the past and became increasingly clear in the past year flowed in his mind as clearly as if he was watching a movie.

Some people say that human memory is unreliable, like a hard drive that is easily degaussed, but the girl's various shapes are firmly engraved in his mind, as if to fully demonstrate the indelible memory she left on him. of imprint.

In the aquarium, I lay on the glass and watched the backs of sea turtles swimming slowly in front of me...

In the screening room, the girl sat quietly next to the boy, and the light and shadow flickered on her focused little face...

A girl in a white dress is bored and kicking stones under a huge camphor tree, waiting for someone to go on an appointment...

The classically innocent girl with fluttering green lotus skirt smiled and stood at the end of the path and waved to him...

Wearing furry slippers, she flew down the stairs into the boy's arms, giggling like an angel...

…

Chu Zihang opened his eyes, feeling a little confused.

They left their own memories in so many places.

Now where should he go first to find the girl who belongs to him?

The taxi stopped next to a three-story foreign-style building.

Chu Zihang got out of the car and smiled silently when he saw the door lock that had been violently broken and Sakurai Akira who was worried.

He walked up and patted Sakurai Akira on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. Let's go back to Chicago. Tomorrow's wedding will be held as usual."

After sending Akira Sakurai away, Chu Zihang circled around his home but found no valuable clues.

The only thing that I'm not sure is a hint is the bicycle keys placed on the table in the living room, with a baby dragon doll on the key ring.

He looked at the bicycle keys for a long time.

Chu Zihang suddenly got the answer from somewhere.

In fact, the ending point of many stories will eventually return to the starting point.

Chu Zihang picked up the key and walked out of the house alone. Sakurai Akira had already left, probably going back to find Miyamoto Mako. The two of them had been stationed in this city since last week.

He raised his head. It had rained last night. The sky was clear and blue today. It was a rare good weather.

Chu Zihang got on the modified bicycle parked in the yard and traveled along the street.

There were a few old people sitting sparsely on the park benches in the distance. There were old people walking together on the walkway where the leaves were starting to fall. Occasionally, an older person would pass him by on a bicycle.

At the beginning of September, schools in China have started to reopen one after another, and it is rare to see teenagers and girls of student age hanging out on bicycles.

Even though he has spent most of the past few years abroad, Chu Zihang is still familiar with the city's routes.

When he was in junior high school and high school, he would bike aimlessly through the streets with paulownia leaves above his head in his spare time. Now he is "revisiting" the old place. Behind him are the blocks lined with high-rise buildings that are getting further away, and in front of him is the old city with lush trees. .

Chu Zihang faced the increasingly bright sun in the morning and squinted his eyes slightly, feeling as if time was passing by slowly.

As if in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed. The boy who rode on his father's shoulders and "drove" in the small and messy house has grown up to the age where he is about to start a family.

But this old city has not changed much, except that the lushness of the forest leaves has become a little more intense.

The bike passed through the scattered light-spotted Wutong-lined road and turned into an old community.

This is where Xia Mi once lived.

He had been here before and was invited to work on a paper together. He sat at the table and sorted out the bibliography, his pencil rustling on the paper. The girl behind him was wearing a black tights, doing handstands, doing splits, somersaults...

Chu Zihang stopped on the side of the road and looked up at an old house in front of him. His sight was blocked by a huge sycamore tree.

He saw the figure standing under the tree.

It was a girl in a white dress, standing under the tree looking up at the branches and leaves of the sycamore tree. The sunlight falling between the leaves fell mottled on the hem of her skirt and fell into her eyes.

She stood under the tree eagerly, and suddenly looked sideways. The car bell rang, and it seemed that the boy he had promised was coming on a bicycle. At that moment, Chu Zihang clearly saw the smile between the girl's eyebrows. meaning.

Just like Xia Mi back then.

It's a pity that she's not Xia Mi, and naturally she's not his girl.

This familiar scene made Chu Zihang lose his mind for a moment.

Until the boy carrying the girl passed by him on a bicycle, his eyes subconsciously turned back, as if to follow this beauty.

Then he met a pair of sparkling eyes.

The autumn sunshine passed through the sycamore trees in a hazy manner, peeking through the gaps between the girl's temples and fine hair.

The high ponytail was swaying lightly on the back of her head, and her quiet and beautiful face became more and more enchanting under the uncertain light.

The girl named Xia Mi looked up at him, then followed his gaze to the young couple riding away on bicycles, and gently clenched her fists:

"Senior brother, you were so outstanding back then, you must have the phone number of the dean or principal of Shilan Middle School, right?"

Chu Zihang, who was still shocked that Xia Mi suddenly appeared and appeared so easily, subconsciously responded and then asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Of course it's a complaint!" Xia Mi said confidently, "Of course it's a complaint. The boy just now was wearing the uniform of Shilan Middle School. He didn't learn how to have puppy love at a young age. As a senior, of course I got him back on track. !”

She clenched her little fists, and a lock of slender and soft forehead hair dangled in front of her big bright eyes.

Chu Zihang was silent for a moment, raised his hand and grabbed the thin hair on her forehead, and said thoughtfully: "I'm still very curious, why did Caesar suddenly ask me, your stubborn and unyielding thin hair? , is it a symbol of the king?”

Xia Mi slapped his hand away with dissatisfaction and carefully protected his forehead: "Don't touch my symbol of being the Dragon King. In ancient times, I would have chopped off your hand long ago!"

She made a chopping gesture fiercely.

"...Does every Dragon King really have this thing?" Chu Zihang, who originally thought it was just a joke, began to think deeply about it.

"It depends on whether you believe it or not." Xia Mi shrugged.

Chu Zihang was stunned for a moment and shook his head helplessly. It seemed like it was still a joke.

He asked doubtfully: "Come to think of it, you just showed up like this? Is this game too simple? Or is the hide-and-seek game not started yet?"

"There's nothing I can do, you're not too stupid!" Xia Mi put his hands on his hips and widened his eyes, "I'm afraid you can't find me!"

The sun shines through the layers of leaves and falls on her perfect and small melon-shaped face, and also gives her soft red lips a glossy edge.

The clear eyes with colored contact lenses reflected the outline of the sky and the flowing white clouds. Other than that, only the boy's figure was left.

that moment.

Chu Zihang's heart seemed to be hit by something.

It felt like my heart was being squeezed, and something was breaking in.

But soon, he felt relieved again.

Not just now.

But a long time ago, the girl in front of him had broken into his world, leaving colorful traces in the gray silence.

"...Actually, I don't really want to play hide-and-seek." After silence, Chu Zihang said softly, "I don't like the feeling of looking for someone, because I used to be looking for people all the time, looking for my missing father, and also looking for him. The enemy who killed dad."

He gently raised his hand and took the initiative to take the girl's delicate white palm. He felt as warm and cool as jade and wanted to hold it for a lifetime and never let go.

"I am indeed stupid. On the way back, I was still thinking about what to do if I really didn't find you. Should I call you to surrender, or ask Noah to help get the surveillance of this group of cities, or call you Junior brother, although I am not sure whether he is free to answer my call now... but fortunately, fortunately, you took the initiative to appear in front of me, thank you for choosing me."

"So... although this is not a dark movie theater, nor is it a blue underwater tunnel in an aquarium, nor is there a Ferris wheel that can trap a girl for ten minutes, I still want to ask-"

"Will you marry me? Ms. Xia Mi."

Time seemed to stand still for eternity at this moment.

It makes people feel unreal.

Listening with her head tilted slightly, the girl with sparkling eyes slowly raised her hand that was tightly held by the boy, and the heat in her palm conveyed the hot heart without reservation.

"You don't seem to have given me a chance to say no, right? But..."

The girl murmured quietly, with a bright and bright smile on her face.

"Finally smart for once..."

At that moment, a white bird flew over their heads, followed the sunshine and flew to the clouds, embracing the high sky.

…

…

It is also a sunny day in Luxembourg today.

Chen Motong wore a black peaked cap, covering her long red hair, with a ponytail tied behind her head, walking casually along the road.

There were dense trees on both sides of the road, and those Victorian buildings hidden among the trees made her feel that this country was really like a fairy tale.

She has been to many countries, stopped in many cities, and seen most of the scenery in the world, but she never imagined that there would be a place that would give her such an incomparable sense of peace of mind as the scenery in front of her.

as if……

This is her hometown.

She walked through the empty intersection. Except for the passers-by who passed by in a hurry, the scene of meeting someone on the street did not appear.

Chen Motong pursed her lips slightly.

Looked up.

Through the gaps between the forest leaves, magnificent circles of clouds in the sky are distributed in the long blue sky.

finally.

She still came to this small country.

Or before my wedding.

A big hand suddenly came over.

"Eat something to fill your stomach." The man with blond hair hanging down his back said with a smile and handed over the fast food.

Chen Motong sniffed and took the burger from the man's hand.

She looked at the man squatting on the side of the road first, chewing the burger in his mouth, taking a sip of Coke, his eyes wandering to the trees and streets in the distance, and suddenly made a puff.

The originally dull mood became much brighter.

She held the side of her face with one hand, as if she had seen something interesting, and stared at the big boy in front of her.

This man once again accompanied her by jumping out of the window in the middle of the night, racing all the way to escape the surveillance of everyone, and boarding a plane to Luxembourg overnight.

Caesar touched his cheek in confusion: "What's wrong? There's something on my face?"

Chen Motong reached out and picked off the hamburger bits from his face, and said with a smile: "What changed you into what you are now? You would never squat on the roadside and eat cheap fast food burgers before."

Caesar shrugged: "What did I think about this? People will always change, and I think this change is not bad."

"Has it made you more friendly to the people, the eldest son of the Gattuso family?"

"No, let me become more rounded, round enough to fit into any scene perfectly," Caesar whistled, and added, "Besides, I am now the patriarch of the Gattuso family, and I am no longer a young master."

"When will the patriarch take care of everything?"

"I think I can learn from my biological father and be a qualified hands-off shopkeeper, dealing with family matters... Uncle, he doesn't want to retire yet."

Caesar said lazily.

They squatted on the side of the road and scribbled out their lunch before continuing along the road.

Large tracts of red and yellow maple leaves surge like waves when the wind blows.

The stream in the river next to it was crystal clear, and the river beach was densely covered with pebbles. The two jumped from the bridge and walked along the river.

Caesar noticed her nervousness and said softly: "What's wrong, are you still nervous?"

Chen Motong lowered the brim of his hat and said nothing.

Caesar suddenly took her hand, pulled her and ran forward, shouting without looking back:

"At this juncture, you must not hesitate to give up just because you are not prepared! You think you are not prepared, but in fact you have already mustered up the courage!"

"Don't worry, even if you are really not ready to see the other party, the other party must be ready to see you!"

Running.

The peaked cap worn by the girl fell back in the wind.

Her crimson hair was spread loose.

Chen Motong stared blankly at the figure leading her back.

Since a long time ago, she has been looking for the direction of her life, where she came from and where she is going...

She didn't know where her future would go, so she went to many places, but still couldn't find the answer.

Like countless girls, she once fantasized about her own Prince Charming in bed and in her dreams.

Just like what she said to Susie, she hopes that her other half can find her anytime, anywhere, but maybe...

She would prefer that that person always stand in front of her and lead the way. She does not need to worry that one day he will suddenly disappear, because as soon as she raises her head, the back of that person will be in front of her. Maybe he will suddenly turn his head and reveal his signature grin. I think I'm handsome, but it's actually a silly smile...

Chen Motong lowered her head slightly and sniffed. When she raised her head again, a bright and bright smile bloomed on her face like a flower.

She knew it clearly.

Today she will get the answer to where she came from, and where she will go, the answer to this question is in the palm of her hand at this moment.

She clenched the broad palm tightly and looked sideways to see the outline of the maple forest blown by the wind, as well as a few red squirrels jumping among the treetops.

In this gradually yellowing autumn, the wind blows along the river, accompanied by the fire-like maple leaves shaped like ocean waves, just like the rhythm of life.

The rustling sound of the leaves in the wind is like a bell, becoming the only one in the world.

Not far away, a red squirrel stood on a tree and stuck its head out. It looked at the two guys running one after another like a river. It tilted its head, as if wondering where these two guys came from and where they were going.

The gentle wind blew across their cheeks and hovered in front of them, as if guiding the two of them on their way, guiding them across the river, across the highway, and to the courtyard hidden among the trees and shrouded in the shade. .

They stood under the mottled shadow of the wall.

Caesar slowly let go of Nono's hand, smiled and motioned for her to step forward and open the door in front of her.

You have to be proactive in doing something in this world instead of being passive forever.

Chen Motong responded with his free and easy smile.

She took a deep breath, as if filling her chest with courage, slowly stepped forward, and pushed open the wooden door leading to the courtyard.

The door is unlocked.

It's like the master has been waiting for someone.

The crisp sound of wind chimes jingled as the wooden door opened, revealing the view of the courtyard at the door.

A demure and gentle woman stood in the middle of the courtyard, as if she had been waiting here for a long time to greet the girl who opened the door. Several red squirrels jumped down from the trees and squatted at the woman's feet.

She also has long dark red hair, slightly raised corners of her mouth, and a soft and bright smile, which gives people endless peace and warmth, just like a gurgling stream, nourishing a heart that has gradually dried up for a long time.

The love shown in that smile is like a fantasy mother.

She opened her arms:

"Welcome back."

that moment.

Chen Motong burst into tears.

…

And just when Chen Motong's eyes were all focused on the woman, Caesar noticed the man kneeling aside, wearing an apron, with an expressionless face, like a servant.

Wei Wei was speechless.

Previously, I was curious about where this person would go after leaving the base and the Chen family.

It seems that this mother-in-law’s tutor is a bit strict...

…

…

The smoke from the barbecue stall was like a sea, and the hot air was surrounded by rising sparks.

The grease from the mutton skewers dripped onto the charcoal fire and made a sizzling sound. The chili and cumin powder from the barbecue soul was sprinkled, and the aroma was overflowing. The sound of the seafood food stalls stirring in the iron pot nearby also made people a little more appetizing.

A very interested Eri Uesugi stood in front of the barbecue stall, waiting for her own mutton skewers.

Seeing such a lovely girl taking care of his business, the middle-aged man at the barbecue stall was full of enthusiasm and showed great skills. He listened to every drop of grease and vowed to perfectly lock in the juice.

Tonight, Eunuch Lu is serving the Empress Dowager Uesugi. He is responsible for the front and back of the saddle, and serves as a temporary wallet, pendant, food storage and processing department, etc.

This temporary travel plan was actually proposed by Eryi.

God knows, Lu Mingfei is really not prepared to do such unreliable things as running away from marriage this time. He returned home because Eliyi wanted to go back to the small villa in her hometown and missed the wild ivy growing on the courtyard wall...

The doting wife Lu naturally had no reason to refuse.

As a result, Eriyi expressed her desire to eat barbecue again early in the morning, so they hurried away before Amin's classmate came to pick them up.

Compared with the importance of the wedding, naturally the people attending the wedding with you are more important.

Besides, it's just a one-night delay and I won't be late.

After visiting the entire barbecue street from beginning to end, eating and grabbing, the two finally walked towards the hotel along the path under the dim street lights.

When they got tired from walking, they sat down on a bench by the roadside.

The lights in the old city in the distance were dim, and the oncoming wind blew Hui Liyi's dark red hair around, flying randomly, and from time to time it rushed to Lu Mingfei's face, tickling her.

"Sakura, it's a shooting star!"

Eliyi suddenly grabbed Lu Mingfei's hand and said with rare excitement.

Her face was flushed in the night, and her eyes were shining in the reflection of the dim lights.

Lu Mingfei didn't know that Meteor was so "destructive" to Hui Liyi.

Although she would be excited about her many little surprises on weekdays, she was rarely so excited.

Lu Mingfei raised his head and saw an obscure trajectory that wiped the night sky.

That trajectory is very bleak, but it really exists.

Speaking of which, when was the last time they watched shooting stars together?

It seems not that long ago.

On the rooftop where he often likes to be alone.

There is also the longest love confession and the most touching love words.

Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked at the girl with her hands clasped together, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, she closed her eyes and began to make a wish solemnly.

He touched his chin and wanted to tell his wife beside him that it would be better to wish to him than to wish to a shooting star.

When Hui Liyi opened her eyes, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask: "What wish did my wife make?"

Eriyi blinked and said nothing, just gently caressing her round belly.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head, as if he understood something.

This is another unspeakable story...

"Sakura, tomorrow is our wedding." Eriki said softly, the corners of her mouth raised, her brows and eyes full of longing and expectation.

Lu Mingfei stretched out his hand, wiped the dipping sauce from the corner of her mouth, and said casually: "If you want, every day can be our wedding."

"Although I have been to many, many places with Sakura, I am still very greedy and want to go to more places with Sakura."

"No problem. From now on, the child will be left to his grandparents, and we will spend our honeymoon every year!"

"Sakura, am I being too greedy?"

"Then I can only trouble you to be more greedy in the future."

"I love Sakura very much, so I want to be with Sakura for the rest of my life."

"Why are you stealing my lines?" Lu Mingfei said seriously, "Another life is too short. I will also look for you in the next life."

"But Sakura has never proposed to me." Eriki tilted her head slightly and finally revealed the most important thing that concerned her.

"Well...we are already an old married couple, how about we skip this step?" Someone scratched his head shyly, "And if you insist on saying something, it was considered a confession that day in Tokyo, right?"

"No, I still want to hear it. Does Sakura remember our reunion under Tokyo Tower?"

"You said that time... it's impossible to forget, right? It's impossible for me to forget our story.

Hearing this, Eli Yi slowly stood up. Lu Mingfei was stunned for a second and followed closely, vaguely guessing what Eli Yi was thinking.

Eriyi, who held squid skewers in one hand and mutton skewers in the other, bowed deeply with an unusually serious expression, her long dark red hair falling down.

Lu Mingfei also imitated her posture and bowed in return, his voice gentle and smiling.

This time, the two heads, one big and one small, did not collide, but just touched each other gently, and there was that gentle and lingering promise.

"I'll be in trouble with Sakura for the rest of my life!"

"Okay, please feel free to leave it to me!"

"I can be very willful sometimes."

Then……

Lu Mingfei smacked his mouth and thought about whether the kiss just tasted like grilled squid or grilled mutton skewers.

Well, both.

It smells bad.

He took Eri Yi's hand and walked forward slowly, ending at Tianhuang and Earth.

…

…

The next day.

Kassel Academy.

There are still five minutes left before the wedding begins.

But there was no news from the bride and groom, who were the protagonists of the wedding.

Even the wedding group that was originally responsible for picking up the newlyweds disappeared.

Mai Shutoku, who was so irritable that she almost set fire to the academy, was comforted by Su Enxi, holding her broad chest in her hands with an expressionless face.

"Calm down, look, the boss and Zero are not here, can we two commit the crime?"

"Where did they go? Hey, they said they were going to Peru to take a train. There is a 1920-style old-fashioned sleeping car from Haram to Benheim. You can cross the Uruban River and reach Machu Picchu from behind. Along the way, we traveled through the mountains and plains, passing through the ancient Inca Empire..."

Su Enxi said sourly.

Jiudoku Mai frowned and asked suspiciously: "Did the boss guess that Lu Mingfei would run away from the marriage, so he didn't come?"

"Well, long-legged girl, you guessed wrong this time." Su Enxi shrugged, "The reason why the boss didn't come is because he thought it was not worth coming to the wedding because it was not organized by him."

Mai Shutoku wondered: "So why wasn't the boss personally organizing this wedding?"

"I heard that Lu Mingfei rejected him and then left him to Zero." Su Enxi shrugged.

Mai Shutoku: "..."

Suddenly there was a boiling sound behind the scenes.

Just when the two of them were curious and wanted to go out and have a look, someone rushed in and shouted: "The bride and groom are back! They are all back!"

Then rush deeper and deliver the news.

Jiude Mai and Su Enxi looked at each other, stood up suddenly, walked as fast as flying, and rushed out!

There were still no familiar figures on the grand ceremony stage that had been set up. Just when Mai Shutoku was confused, she heard someone below pointing at the sky and shouting something.

They looked along the direction of the finger, and the next moment they couldn't help laughing and scolding these bastards for asking whether they had already discussed this!

Under the magnificent haze, blooming parachutes bloomed like fireworks in the sky above the college, falling rapidly!

The helicopter carrying all the members of the wedding group landed like a giant black bird.

"Dear guests, please take your seats, our wedding is about to begin!"

The sound on the radio drowned out the sound of the helicopter's blades.

On the other side of the podium, Qilan's gentle and mellow voice sounded with a smile, but this did not suppress the noisy everyone.

For these couples who came late and almost beat everyone else, everyone in the audience started to boo.

The leader is obviously the vice-principal and the fathers of several parties involved, such as Pompei, Lu Lincheng, and...

Chu Tianjiao.

Chu Zihang, who joined hands with Xia Mi, hesitantly looked at the man who made his debut. He naturally blended into the "father's group" without any sense of disobedience, and then found his mother Su Xiaoyan on the other side, who rushed towards him. The man booing not far away rolled his eyes.

Of course, the heckling of these guys quickly aroused the dissatisfaction of the people at the other table, and their calmness was in sharp contrast to their peers.

As the head of the girl's family, Edcho squinted his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man who was banging the table and making noises. Mars beside him said casually, isn't that your in-laws? Quite lively...

With the protagonist returning, the wedding ceremony proceeds as usual.

As the sun sets, the lights everywhere light up one by one, and Kassel is destined to have a night of carnival tonight.

"Next, let's hear the groom's voice."

Qi Lan handed the microphone to Lu Mingfei's hand with a smile.

Lu Mingfei took the phone and looked back casually, only to see countless familiar faces.

They are senior brother, boss, Fingel, Xia Mi, EVA, senior sister, Principal Ange, Minamoto, Crow, Sakura...

Those figures who once left this world are standing here so real and distinct at this moment.

As bright as new in memory.

Some of them were standing next to him at this moment, or they were sitting in the audience and waving to him.

A momentary trance enveloped this man who had experienced two lives.

He took the microphone and gave a standard and formal opening speech.

The vice-principal below muttered that this boy didn't talk about miniskirts anymore, it was all in vain...

Then, I discovered that someone on the stage seemed to be stuck.

It seemed like a long time passed, and that inexplicable emotion centered on him like running water, flowing out in all directions, turning into the atmosphere that enveloped the venue.

Lu Mingfei put his hand on his heart, feeling the beating heart, and said softly:

"There are so many things I want to say about the past and the future but don't want to say. The world is indeed cruel and cruelly deprives us of too many things, so many times I wonder, what are we doing for? Coming to this cruel world?"

"This question bothered me for a long time until I met certain people...

I think that maybe in our mortal and limited life, everyone will meet people and things worthy of our willingness to stop, and this is the meaning of our coming to this world. "

Lu Mingfei held up the microphone and watched the audience gradually fall into silence, but it seemed as if some kind of fire was burning in the silence and was about to explode.

He took a deep breath:

"I only have six words to say about today!"

then.

The boiling cheers broke through the sky the next moment and resounded under the vast but never lonely sky in this autumn.

"We're getting married!"

"We're getting married!"

"We're getting married!"

…

…

The salute sounded loudly, but it could not cover up everyone's carnival. The sky above Kassel College turned into a sea of ​​brilliant flowers.

Under the colorful fireworks, the compass of fate completely points to the happy area.

As someone once said -

There are so many people in this world who love each other and stay together for life, why can't you be among these people?

Of course, it could also be us.
