God's Gift

"It's your mother... Yes, it's your mother..." Lu Keming repeated subconsciously. After regaining consciousness, his pupils suddenly dilated.

"Is she really your mother?"

Yu Youyou nodded, "That's right."

Lu Keming tried to find a reasonable fulcrum from this sentence, but every time he thought about it, it deviated from his inherent cognition, making his sense of absurdity continue to grow, so he repeated it again:

"Is Xiaoou really your mother?"

"Yes." Yu Youyou seemed not to notice Lu Keming's surprise and nodded again in affirmation.

After getting the same answer again and again, Lu Keming finally stopped asking.

He fell silent, digesting the information.

In these few seconds, time seemed to stretch out exceptionally long, and his thoughts seemed to be moving aimlessly in the empty universe, unable to find any support.

"But..." Lu Keming gradually came back to his senses and looked at Yu Youyou: "But if she is your mother, why is she here?"

Youyou is five thousand years old. If the time when the dark star fell to the earth is used as the node, Youyou should have been born one thousand years before the dark star fell.

Even though this world is three thousand years earlier than their timeline, the Dark Star in this world has already fallen a thousand years ago.

Xiaoou should clearly belong to the past, so how could he appear in the present?

"I don't know either." Yu Youyou frowned and thought for a long time, and finally gave this answer.

"Mom never told me anything about her childhood."

"I was born and raised in the ocean. So I also thought my mother was born and raised on land."

"Oh, that's not right." Yu Youyou realized the mistake in her words and shook her head, "Mom was indeed born on land."

"It's just that this land is different from that land."

"Mom was born on the land of the future and grew up on the land of the past."

The secret that had been buried in her heart for a long time was finally discovered. Yu Youyou felt extremely magical. She couldn't help but confide this wonderful feeling to Lu Keming:

“That’s incredible, isn’t it?”

"I never thought that one day I would see my mother again!"

Yu Youyou clasped her hands together and said excitedly, "This all feels like a dream!"

"Yes, this is indeed incredible." Lu Keming nodded. This is not incredible at all, it is simply subverting common sense.

Looking at Yu Youyou's happy look, he couldn't help but remind her again: "But she shouldn't be here."

"She should be in the past, not here."

"If she appeared here," Lu Keming explained, "if she appeared in the future when Youyou was born, and she's still a child now, but Youyou is already thousands of years old, how would Youyou be born?"

"Yes, Mom is in the future." Yu Youyou's eyes were shining, but her thoughts had already wandered to outer space. She said:

"My mother is younger than me!"

Lu Keming's breath caught in his throat. He grabbed Yu Youyou's shoulders and tried to bring her thoughts back to the point.

"Youyou, now is not the time to think about this."

"We must send her to the time when Youyou was born. Only then will she meet Youyou's father, and Youyou can come into this world."

At this point, Lu Keming stopped talking, his brows drooped, and his knuckles rubbed unconsciously in anxiety:

"But how can she go back to the past?"

"Backtrack?" Lu Keming's eyes lit up, and the first thing he thought of was backtracking.

But in a flash, Ah Chou's experience came to Lu Keming's mind. Ah Chou used the backtracking technique over and over again, but it only trapped Lijia Village in the illusion of time reversal.

But if even backtracking can’t bring Xiaoou back to the past, and she is stuck in this time, what should Youyou do?

Will Youyou disappear?

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Keming's eyes trembled, and he looked up at Youyou:

"Youyou, maybe there's a way in this world... to open a passage in time and send your mother back five thousand years."

Hearing Lu Keming's words, Yu Youyou was slightly stunned. The look in her eyes when she stared at Lu Keming made him feel a little unfamiliar.

Time flows silently, and the two people's eyes seem to be separated by an entire space and time, and they meet briefly at this moment.

Yu Youyou shook her head, "No."

"At least I haven't found such a way."

"No..." Lu Keming lowered his eyes, his gaze fixed on the aircraft's clean, reflective floor, and murmured absentmindedly, "Why not..."

"Don't worry." Yu Youyou's hand fell on Lu Keming's shoulder, interrupting Lu Keming's thoughts.

She held Lu Keming's face with her hands, squeezed the thin flesh on his cheeks, and comforted him as if she could see his worries: "I won't disappear."

"Since I'm still here, it means Mom will definitely return to that time and space and will definitely meet Dad."

"As for how to get back..."

Yu Youyou's voice paused, and her gaze passed through the window, looking at the boundary wall that was getting farther and farther away behind the aircraft.

The man in black stood on the boundary wall facing the wind. As the aircraft moved forward, his figure became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into an invisible black dot.

Yu Youyou's movements gradually slowed down, and the sound was as cold as the melting snow in early spring, passing through the rocks in the stream and hitting Lu Keming's eardrums:

"Destiny will take everyone to where they are supposed to go."
