It's just a grocery store.

The next day, I woke up in the same bed at midnight, and it felt like I was back three years ago.

I missed him so much that I couldn't help but want to stay in bed, but in the end I got up thinking that Yukimura was there too.

There were no ingredients at home, so I could only make a simple fried egg and bread.

As for drinks, I specially poured two glasses of milk and placed them on the table at midnight.

The system helped put the tableware aside, then complained about Zero Moment's bad taste, and then came over to hold his water bottle and ask for milk.

Midnight: You obviously love to drink.

System: Actually, I prefer the host of goat milk. When will we buy it?

Midnight: The goat milk that quickly disappeared from the refrigerator was drunk by you, right?

A thief was discovered in the refrigerator. He stared at the system at zero o'clock, and the system ran away with the small water bottle in a guilty mood.

When Yukimura came down, breakfast was already prepared, just like when he returned to that time three years ago.

"It's so missed."

Yukimura sighed and then sat down to have breakfast.

I roughly talked about what happened in the past few years last night, and I plan to go see other people at midnight today.

Yukimura looked up and asked,

"Want me to go with you?"

Zero Time lowered his head to think for a while, and decided to take Yukimura with him. After all, apart from Xiao Chisu, Zero Time didn't have any other acquaintances.

Lingshi first took Yukimura Seiichi to visit the Hagiwara family. He originally just wanted to say hello to his uncle and aunt, but he didn't expect that Hagiwara Chisuga was at home.

When Hagiwara Chisuki saw Zero Time, he was inevitably a little surprised and almost didn't recognize him. After recognizing him, he invited Zero Time to come in and sit down.

Chihiro Hagiwara came out with a drink, then sat on the sofa and sighed,

"When you suddenly disappeared, Yanji and Jinping conducted a thorough investigation. They only stopped when they found out about the message you left behind."

Hagiwara Chisato thought of his two anxious brothers and shook his head, feeling embarrassed.

Zero Hour: "I was in such a rush back then that I didn't make it in time, and I lost my phone. It was terrible."

Hagiwara Chisu waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. After all, he had heard from his younger brother that Ling Shi would return, so he felt relieved.

Then Hagiwara Chisawa also recognized Yukimura's identity,

"Ah, you're the one in the newspaper. That's amazing. Have you returned to China?"

Yukimura Seiichi nodded politely.

"Yes, it's the off-season so I came home to rest."

Hagiwara Chisu nodded, and at midnight he talked about Hagiwara Kenji and the others' graduation ceremony, so the two agreed to go together to celebrate for the two boys.

When they came out, Chitose Hagiwara came out to see them off. The little girl has grown into a big girl, and I don’t know which boy got her.

Then there was no one else to visit, so Yukimura led the way to check on the others who were also in Japan.

Seeing them one by one, Ling Shi couldn't help but sigh at the changes of time. The young men have matured.

System: Only the host is still so lazy.

At midnight, Yukimura took me to see the original scenery again, and finally stopped at the beach.

Looking at the sea at midnight, he felt a bit unreal, as if all these years had passed in a flash.

It feels like I met those people just last week, but why do I feel so empty now?

Seiichi Yukimura said he was going to pick someone up, so he took a taxi and left, leaving Zero alone here to watch the sea.

Zero Hour: System.

System: What's wrong, host?

Lingshi brought the system to his arms and held it with some strength, as if he was afraid that it would disappear.

Midnight: Every time I look at the sea, I can’t help but have random thoughts.

The system looked up at him in confusion, only to see that Lingshi's face was full of desolation, with no trace of the happiness just now.

Midnight: I felt like a passerby, meeting many people whom I never dared to imagine getting along with before.

But, it's so strange. I always thought that if we could meet, I would have to do a lot of things.

But now I don’t know what to do. To the system, I seem to be an insignificant existence. It seems that it won’t make any difference whether I’m there or not.

The system detected that Ling Shi's emotions were abnormal, so it secretly sent a call for help to others.

At midnight, I was so depressed that I was immersed in my own thoughts, my eyes lost focus, and my breathing was so light that it almost disappeared.

The system didn't know what happened to him, but just prayed that rescue would come soon.

It's so boring. Days like this are like wandering outside the world, leaving no trace.

Just as he was thinking, another voice suddenly sounded, bringing Ling Shi back to his senses.

Huang Quan's scolding voice came from the phone.

"Hey, what are you doing? Why aren't you in the store?"

Lingshi was stunned for a moment, not thinking about how the call was connected, and answered obediently.

"Ah, I'm at my old shop, chatting with someone I knew from before."

Huang Quan's voice was a little breathless, as if he had been running.

"Why did you suddenly run back and say such strange things? What's wrong with you?"

Lingshi: "It's okay, I'm just talking nonsense. Is Quanquan worried about me?"

The natural teasing was said directly, and the other party was silent for a moment, then sighed.

"Send me the location, I'll come find you."

Without waiting for Lingshi to refuse, the phone was hung up and Huang Quan sent a new message asking Lingshi to stay where he was and not move.

Lingshi laughed at the message and reached out to pinch the system's face.

"You did a good job."

The system waved its claws but did not struggle, explaining,

"Because the host's emotions were extremely unstable just now, the system concluded that Mr. Huang Quan could handle it."

Lingshi released his hand and pressed his face against the weasel's belly, rubbing it gently.

Thank it silently.

The inexplicable negative energy just now disappeared. Although I am no longer involved in their lives, their feelings as friends are still there.

It was as if they had just met, and when he recognized Lingshi, the excitement and nostalgia in his eyes were real.

Even Kirihara Akari excitedly threw himself on Reitoki to reminisce about the days when Reitoki was there.

System: Host, in fact, if you think carefully, you have already integrated into this world, but you always take everything for granted.

System: Although the host is emotionally dull, you shouldn't be so dull. Those children have already regarded the host as a friend.

Midnight: I’m old now and I don’t even remember how happy we were when we were together. I’m really old.

The roar of the helicopter was approaching. At midnight, I looked up and saw the person on it was very ostentatious.

Huang Quan looked down and saw Lingshi's original face. He was stunned for a moment and then thought of something.

Huang Quan turned around and said to the driver:

"I'm going downstairs to do something, you can just go back."

Without waiting for the driver to react, Huang Quan took a step forward and jumped down.

This action not only scared the driver, but also made the people below panic.

Zero Hour: Ahhh, who taught him that? System, use the power amplifier quickly!

In a panic, Lingshi didn't even bother to disguise himself and rushed over to pick up the person who was falling.

Lingshi ran over quickly, seized the opportunity, jumped into the air, and hugged Huang Quan in his arms.

The two people hugged each other in the air, and then both fell to the ground on the beach, with Zero Hour lying underneath. It was a very miserable scene.

At midnight, he cried out in sorrow,

"My little ancestor, what are you doing?"

Huang Quan felt no guilt in putting pressure on Lingshi, because he had just seen him from above.

Ling Shi's expression looked like he was about to disappear, just like his parents who had left.

Huang Quan hugged Ling tightly and felt relieved only when he heard his heartbeat.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Ling Shi had no choice but to hug him back. What on earth was this kid thinking about?

But the warmth of the two people hugging each other at this moment not only soothed Huang Quan's anxiety, but also eliminated the negative energy that Ling Shi had just felt.
