Du Ruo felt strange: "To be honest, I even doubt whether you have traveled through time. How come you don't know anything?"

Fang Zhixin's heart almost jumped out of her chest. The dimensional wall was broken. Then she laughed and said jokingly, "That's right. I just came here. I'm still a newbie who relies on Master Du Ruo to guide me."

"Okay, I'll take you, just call me boss?" Du Ruo folded his arms and raised his head.

Lu Yuan, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted and asked, "Are you really wearing it?"

“………” Fang Zhixin didn’t know what to say. There was no need to be so serious at a time like this.

Why does he always believe in weird things?

"How can that be possible? You believe this?" Du Ruo directly denied it: "How can there be such a thing as time travel? If there is, then there are parallel time and space. Do you believe it?"

Lu Yuan stroked his chin and thought, and it seemed that he was really thinking about the possibility of the existence of parallel universes.

The two girls were silent, and he was actually thinking!

Du Ruo interrupted his random thoughts and asked, "Lu Yuan, who are you going to meet? Can you tell me?"

"To see an old friend, an...old friend." Lu Yuan replied, staring at the swaying shadows of the trees.

Seeing this, Du Ruo had no intention of asking further.

"Okay, then we'll split up and meet at the Central Teleportation Waterfall in a day."

Fang Zhixin simply clapped his hands to save the atmosphere that was about to fall into a slump.

Just as the three were about to split up, Lu Yuan stopped and asked: "Fang Zhixin, do you know the way?"

Do you know the way?

Very good, soul-questioning.

Fang Zhixin stopped and replied woodenly: "I don't know... Who of you is going to the city center? Take me with you to the mission hall to hand in the five crystal cores, and I'll ask someone else for the rest of the way."

Lu Yuan thought, as expected: "Let's go, the person I'm looking for is in the city center."

After bidding farewell to Du Ruo and Lu Yuan, completing the mission and obtaining points, Fang Zhixin quickly found the garrison following Xiao Feng's instructions.

The area is not large, with only a few three-story buildings. How ordinary can it be?

If there wasn't a sign of the Lichun Corps hanging at the door, Fang Zhixin would have wondered which community gate he had arrived at.

However, according to Lu Yuan, the general team is not stationed at the Corps’ base. Only the logistics department and other personnel are here.

Even more people live scattered throughout the fortress, ready to change shifts at any time, guard the city walls, or go out on missions.

When Fang Zhixin was standing at the door and wondering how to get in, two straight-looking men walked towards him.

You can tell at first glance that he comes from the military, and the DNA engraved in his bones makes Fang Zhixin stand straight subconsciously.

Put your five fingers together and press them against the seams of your trousers, lift your head, straighten your chest, and tighten your stomach.

“……” Damn it, the aftereffects of military training have come out.

"Student, who are you looking for?" asked the tall one.

Fang Zhixin coughed and said, "I'm looking for Lin Che."

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and the shorter one asked, "Classmate, do you have an appointment, or who recommended you here..."

"Well, Fang Shaoli asked me to come and visit... Um, Deputy Head Lin Che."

Hearing this, the shorter man's expression softened a bit: "Is that so? Wait a moment, let's confirm the authenticity."

While they were talking, the tall man had already left.

After a while, a tall man with medium-length hair came towards them. Even the straight military uniform could not hide his elegance. He looked very young, with distinct facial features and a calm temperament between his brows.

The visitor stopped and looked at the girl in front of him, his brows full of nostalgia: "Yes, she looks a lot like your mother."

He asked softly, "Your name is Zhixin, Fang Zhixin, right?"

Fang Zhixin nodded, his lips raised: "You should be... Lin Che's uncle, right?"

While Lin Che was observing her, she was also observing Lin Che. Her features were very similar to her mother's, but softer than her mother's, yet still bold and gentle.

Lin Che nodded gently, and looked even more like him when she smiled.

Suppressing the moisture in the corners of his eyes, Lin Che quickly said, "Let's go inside and talk. Your uncle has been looking forward to your arrival for a long time."

The two men walked away. The tall one and the short one stood straight, but their eyes betrayed them.

Is that Deputy Head Lin's niece? Where did she come from?

You ask me how I know?

Why don’t you go and ask?

I don't want to die yet, and I advise you not to. I don't want to change my partner yet.

The eye contact between the two ended here, and they stood guard seriously.

Inside the room, Fang Zhixin and Lin Che looked at each other in silence, which made Fang Zhixin feel awkward.

She took the initiative to speak: "Um, uncle, if possible, can you tell me about my mother?"

Lin Che was actually very nervous, his palms were sweating, and if someone who knew him saw this, they would definitely laugh at him.

Even Deputy Captain Lin, who is unshakable and unperturbed, sometimes gets so nervous that he doesn't know what to say.

Hearing Fang Zhixin's voice, Lin Che could feel the concern from his niece. Really, he still needed the younger generation to find topics to talk about. He was really going backwards as he got older.

"Okay, let me tell you the story of your mother."

It was almost noon, and the sunlight was shining into the house, bringing back memories one by one.

Lin Che's rather gentle voice rang out: "Your mother is actually a very naughty person. She always says that I am too plain and will definitely not be liked by girls. It seems to be true."

"She likes to skip classes and always asks me to cover for her. Every time I'm caught, I'm the only one. She would say, 'Brother, if both of you are caught, you won't be able to enjoy the delicious food I secretly brought you.'"

"Later, she met your father. I was actually very confused. She said that I was dull, but she fell in love with your father, a man who I also thought was boring."

"But your mother said: You don't understand this. My brother is called gentle. He can tolerate my misbehavior and accompany me in my messy life. I like him very much."

"Later, Fang Qingyue and I had a fight and realized that he really liked Xiaojue and it wasn't for the sake of some aristocratic family alliance, so I felt relieved."

“Unfortunately, things are unpredictable… um, let’s not talk about that.” Lin Che shook his head slightly. It turned out that more than ten years had passed.

He looked at Fang Zhixin, who was listening very attentively. He seemed to be able to see the shadows of those two people in her, talking and laughing, just like before.

Looking at the grown-up child, who was gentle and smart, Lin Che still asked the question in his mind.

"Zhi Xin, do you... blame them? Do you blame us?"

Blame them for not being with you, blame us for not being able to find you in time, leaving you drifting alone for more than ten years.

Fang Zhixin smiled, like the warm sunshine that melted the ice.

"No, I like them very much, I always have. You have been looking for me too, right? You have never given up for more than ten years. Why should I blame you?"
