Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

Chen Xi, who was stroking Anya, paused for a moment, then swallowed and turned stiffly to look in the direction of Wuld.

The eyes covered by the bandage hid most of the emotions, and the fleeting loneliness was buried deep in the heart before Chen Xi cast his gaze over.

Noticing the hint of hearing the news in Chen Xi's eyes, Wuld just nodded slightly, then picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, Chen Xi also understood, and after sighing helplessly in his heart, he introduced this "strange" woman to Weilding:

"Wuld, the editor of the UTTU newspaper, the two of us are..."

"normal friend."

Before Chen Xi finished speaking, Wuld seized the subtle pause in his speech and interrupted him.

"Just ordinary friends?"

Chewing on this word, Verdin's eyes shuttled back and forth between the two of them.

As perceptive as she was, she naturally noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere, but she was very tactful and stopped at the right time without directly exposing it.

"Wildin, the Foundation's Hour Master."

Since he was a staff member of UTTU, there was no need to hide some things about the foundation and Baoyu. The two sides had always cooperated a lot in various aspects.

At this point, there was nothing more to say between the two. Chen Xi and Wuerde both understood that now was not the right time for mother and daughter to recognize each other. However, there were still some unfinished words between them, some things that were not convenient to say in front of Weilding.

"Anya."

"Meow?"

Ugh! Chen Xi desperately told himself over and over again, this isn't the right time, this isn't the right time, this isn't the right time! He suppressed the urge to grab Anya's head and give it a good rub, and coughed lightly twice.

However, Anya understood the situation and had already stood up and held onto the confused Vertin before Chen Xi coughed for the second time.

"Wildin, let's go for a walk around first. I'm curious about the differences between this place and different periods. Can you show me around?"

After saying that, without waiting for her to refuse, he pulled Veldin away, leaving Chen Xi and Wuld with only a faint smile.

"It seems your partner is quite good at reading the atmosphere."

"She only has this thought when she is with me."

Although he did not accept Wuld's praise, Chen Xi's tone still revealed a hint of relief and pride when he said this.

"What about you? Is there anything else you want to tell Mom when we're having this private conversation?"

Wuld smiled, his tone relaxed and calm.

Since she had already decided not to recognize him at this moment, there was no need to regret it. With Chen Xi by her side, Wei Er Ting could feel more confident and bold in doing things that only she could do.

"I'm ready to go."

"Hmph~ Do you want a hug from your mother before you leave?"

I always feel that no matter who it is, as long as they spend some time with me, they will like to tease me.

"Although you have recovered some of your memories, you still have almost no special abilities. You can't even withstand a rainstorm alone."

"After learning of your value, both the Foundation and the Hand of Rebuilding will spare no effort in vying for you!"

Wuld smiled, quietly watching the boy who suddenly became emotional, adding another catalyst to his reaction.

"And then? I think the weak spot I left behind will be protected by you and protected from any harm. This way I can do things more boldly."

Her calm tone instantly silenced Chen Xi's anger. His lips moved for a long time before he uttered a sentence softly:

"I mean...stay safe."

Hearing his words, Wuld stood up with relief and hugged Chen Xi in his arms, stroking his head and patting his back.

"When I'm gone, you have to take care of yourself. The uniqueness of your existence also means that you have to shoulder arduous responsibilities, but I don't want to ask anything of you. I just hope that you can rest well when you are tired. I will always be here."

The tears that wetted his shoulders spread silently. Wuld said nothing more, but just patted Chen Xi's back gently, again and again, just like his mother would when he was a child, lulling him to sleep.

Not until Chen Xi's slightly trembling body calmed down did Wuld push his face in front of him and raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Thank you."

She grabbed Wuld's hand and took a step back. But Chen Xi was holding her wrist, and he was reluctant to let go.

Wuld smiled, and held Chen Xi's hands in his palms, until Chen Xi took a deep breath, and then slowly let go.

A shadow emerged from behind Chen Xi, then slowly solidified, and finally turned into Xu Hai, whose expression was mixed with complex emotions such as relief, anger, resentment, joy, and gratitude.

After coming out of Chen Xi's body, he stood aside timidly, not knowing how to start talking about what he and Chen Xi had agreed upon.

"Mom, can Xu Hai stay with you? I'll feel more at ease with him protecting you, after all..."

"Of course, the journey ahead may be long and lonely. Having a child like Xu Hai by my side will give me more strength to complete the things I should do."

Xu Hai looked at Wuerde with joy, leaning forward but not moving. It was not until Wuerde opened her arms to him that he finally ran over and threw himself into her arms.

"Then please give me your guidance from now on, Xiao Xu Hai~"
