Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

Snow fell silently overnight, like a grand and mysterious ritual, shrouding the entire planet in a blanket of white. Snowflakes fluttered down like countless white butterflies dancing in the air, landing lightly on the ground, treetops, and rooftops, bringing a sense of tranquility and peace to the world. As time passed, the snow piled up thicker and thicker, turning the once vibrant landscape into a pure white blanket of silver.

The sudden onset of cold weather heralds the official arrival of the planet's coldest season. The biting wind stings, stinging like a knife across the face, forcing people to don thick cotton-padded clothing to ward off the chill. The streets are deserted, all hunkered down in their homes. Only a few are busy preparing winter supplies, ensuring normal life. While the cold season brings chill, it also allows people to experience the charm and power of nature.

Lin Ziyu's illness was serious this time; he'd been bedridden for ten days! He'd been completely dazed for the first three days, as if cut off from the outside world. When he slowly recovered, he wanted to go out, but Long Yan wouldn't let him, worried he'd catch a cold again.

Today, he felt like he was going insane, a fire burning inside him that desperately needed an outlet. So, regardless of Long Yan's attempts to stop him, he resolutely walked to the door and opened it. Instantly, a piercing chill hit him, as if freezing him like an ice sculpture.

He couldn't help but shudder, his body shaking uncontrollably. The chill was so intense that he could barely bear it. He quickly turned around and shut the door to prevent the cold air from entering the room.

After closing the door, he turned around, looked at Long Yan in confusion, and asked, "Brother Yan, why is it so cold outside?"

Long Yan took a deep breath and slowly replied, "Since the day after you fell ill, we have entered the cold season here. Moreover, the temperature is still dropping, getting colder day by day."

"So strange?" Lin Ziyu frowned, as if thinking about something.

Long Yan seemed to see through his thoughts and said softly, "Don't worry, it's like this every winter. People only go out in special circumstances during the winter."

Lin Ziyu nodded, but his eyes were still filled with worry. He looked out the window, and the white world made him feel strange and frightened. It turns out that the winter season is so cold. It's really abnormal weather.

The once bustling world now became quiet and deserted. The earth was blanketed in snow, like a fairytale world clad in silver. A bitterly cold wind blew, bringing a biting chill to the bones.

After a moment of silence, Lin Ziyu sighed and said, "Are you staying in the room for the entire winter season? Doesn't the winter season last about five months? Brother Yan, it's not the coldest time yet. I want to go out and take a look." There was a hint of coquettishness in his voice. He just wanted to go out for a walk. He hadn't stayed in the room for too long.

Long Yan smiled and nodded, touched Lin Ziyu's hair, and said gently, "Okay, it's cold outside, you should put on this set of clothes." After that, he took out a special set of clothes from the storage space and handed it to Lin Ziyu. This set of clothes not only can resist the cold, but also has fire spiritual energy, which can make the wearer feel warm and comfortable.

Lin Ziyu took the clothes, his eyes sparkling with anticipation and joy. He quickly put on this magical dress, feeling as if he were surrounded by a warm current. Then, he said with a little excitement in his tone: "Brother Yan, let's go!"

Long Yan smiled and nodded, reaching out to take Lin Ziyu's hand. Hand in hand, they stepped out the door. A chill wind blew in, but Lin Ziyu's clothes immediately glowed with a faint red light, forming a protective barrier that effectively blocked the wind. Lin Ziyu didn't feel the cold, but instead felt warm as if spring had come. He smiled happily, held Long Yan's hand tightly, and walked with him into the icy snow.

At that moment, many people were busy clearing snow from the Prince's Mansion and the Imperial City, so there wasn't much snow on the way. Long Yan and Lin Ziyu climbed the Imperial City's walls. From there, they could clearly see the entire landscape beyond. At a glance, the world outside the Imperial City was completely blanketed in snow, a scene of breathtaking beauty. The boundless white snowscape felt like a dreamlike world, enchanting.

Lin Ziyu quietly gazed at the beautiful snowy scene, a sense of tranquility and joy welling up in his heart. His gaze slowly scanned every detail, savoring this rare and beautiful moment. However, after a while, he suddenly felt as if only white remained before his eyes, and everything else gradually became blurry. This feeling made him feel a little uncomfortable, and he gently rubbed his eyes with his hands, trying to shake off the strange feeling.

Long Yan noticed that Lin Ziyu was acting strangely and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Ziyu smiled and replied, "It's nothing serious. I just feel a little dizzy after looking for a long time. Let's go down first." After that, the two of them turned around, walked down the city wall, and left the place.

On their way back to the Prince's Mansion, Lin Ziyu looked at the sky outside and suddenly realized that the weather had suddenly turned cold. He wondered if Fifth Grandpa and Father had returned home by now. So he asked Long Yan, "Brother Yan, have Lang Xiaoyi and the others returned? Have Fifth Grandpa and Father returned home by now?"

"Don't worry, Lang Xiaoyi and the others have returned a long time ago. Fifth Grandpa and father are also home by now, so don't worry about them. We already received news of their arrival when you were sick." Long Yan consoled Lin Ziyu with a smile, then took out two letters from his pocket and handed them to him, continuing, "These are letters from Fifth Grandpa and father, take a look."

Lin Ziyu excitedly took the letter, couldn't wait to unfold it, and then read it attentively. Every word and every sentence was like the spring sunshine, warm and bright.

The familiar handwriting on the letter brought a wave of warmth to Lin Ziyu's heart. These words belonged to his family, far away from home, yet through this letter they expressed their endless care and longing. The letter was all about his fifth grandfather and father, saying they had returned home and asking him not to worry and to take good care of himself. Lin Ziyu read it carefully, every word etched in his heart.

After reading the letter, Lin Ziyu's face was filled with a happy smile. He raised his head, looked at Long Yan with a smile, and asked, "Brother Yan, when did you receive the letter?" After saying that, he blinked with a bit of cunning in his eyes.

Long Yan smiled slightly and responded, "I just received it not long ago. I haven't had time to show it to you yet, and you insisted on coming out to take a look."

Lin Ziyu scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Haha, I have been staying in the room for a long time. Do you want to come out and get some fresh air?" After saying that, he lowered his head a little embarrassedly, but there was a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

The two of them laughed and talked all the way as they slowly walked towards the Prince's Mansion.

As they walked, Lin Ziyu suddenly raised his head and his eyes fell on the Sifang Pavilion not far ahead. He turned to look at Long Yan beside him and said, "Brother Yan, why don't we go into the Sifang Pavilion and take a look?" He thought of the happy time he and Long Yan had lived in the Sifang Pavilion when his fifth grandfather was still alive.

Long Yan smiled and nodded, responding, "Sure, I can help you sort out the things inside, and then we can move to the Prince's Mansion together."

So, the two of them slowly walked into the Sifang Pavilion together.

Sifang Hall still looks exactly as it did the day Longyan came to pick him up for his coming-of-age ceremony. Lin Ziyu had assumed he was going to Longyan's coming-of-age ceremony, but he hadn't anticipated that it would also be the day they would hold their public partnership ceremony. Thinking back on it now, Lin Ziyu couldn't help but smile widely.

"Brother Yan, this place looks exactly the same as it did that day!" Lin Ziyu said softly with a bright smile on his face.

However, before Long Yan could respond, Lin Ziyu couldn't wait to grab Long Yan's hand and walked quickly towards the room. As soon as he entered the room, he walked straight to the bed and gently lay down on it. Lin Ziyu closed his eyes and murmured softly, "Brother Yan, I'm so tired..."
