Armor: The opening lane mage saved me

A restaurant

Bing'er and Bei Miao agreed to meet here.

When Bei Miao saw Bing'er arrive, his heart trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes welled up with tears.

The two of them just looked at each other like that.

"Brother Xiao Bei, it's been a long time! How have you been these past few years?"

Bing'er spoke first, smiling as she said to Bei Miao,

I'm fine, Xiaoxue, how about you? I've been looking for you all these years. I'm so sorry, brother. I was too cowardly and weak back then. I'm so sorry, Xiaoxue.

Over the years, whenever I think about what happened back then, I feel incredibly guilty and remorseful. If I had been braver then, perhaps we wouldn't have been separated for so many years.

Bei Miao's tears still flowed uncontrollably.

"Brother Xiaobei, actually I have already forgiven you a long time ago, really, I have never blamed you at all. Over the years, I have repeatedly thought about what happened back then, and even harbored hatred towards you at one point, but as time goes by and I get older, I have gradually come to understand your choice."

If I were in your shoes back then, I might have also chosen to run away out of fear. So, this isn't your fault, but rather our instinctive reaction as children.

Furthermore, I believe your decision to run away was the right one. Grandpa Dean once told us that no matter what happens, we must do everything in our power to protect the Light and Shadow Stone. Because if it falls into the hands of the Shadow Realm, it will cause unimaginable disaster.”

Bing'er gently stroked Bei Miao's face, her eyes flashing with complex emotions.

As time passed, Bei Miao's face seemed to have become more weathered, and the traces of time left faint marks on his face.

Two people who hadn't seen each other for ten years showed concern for each other's experiences over the years, and the brother and sister reconciled, showing each other their most genuine smiles, as if they were still children.

Dick dick~

Bei Miao's phone rang. It was Mei Zhen calling, saying she needed his help with something important.

Bing'er saw it and knew he had important matters to attend to.

Speak softly

"Brother Xiao Bei, you should go now. Come find me at Guanghui when you have time, I'll always be here."

"it is good"

Happiness Dumpling Restaurant

A van was parked outside, and in the yard, Xiangyang was helping Aunt Hui collect the laundry.

"Are we really going to use this kid as bait? I think the risk is a bit too high."

Bei Kai looked at Dian Nan and hesitated.

"What's wrong with that? What we need now is to speed things up and show our strength."

Just as they were about to make their move, they happened to run into Xin Nan and Louis coming out from inside.

Dian Nan immediately stopped.

"That man must be the chairman of the Guanghui Group. I didn't expect him to be here too."

"Shall we continue?" Jersey asked.

"Forget it, let's leave first. Let's avoid alerting them."

After saying that, he drove away.

Louis had been watching that car the whole time. Weren't the three guys inside the Fire Wolves from Team Two?

I forgot where the plot was again.

"Brother Louis, the weather is so nice, let's go outside and play together," Xin Nan said with a smile.

"Yeah, Xiaosong said he'd take us to a barbecue. Let's go together."

Louis looked troubled.

Minci came out and said, then hugged Louis's arm and started to act coquettishly.

"Let's go together. You haven't spent time with me in ages. I don't know what you're always busy with."

Louis was completely smitten with this tactic from girls and readily agreed.

Sunshine Welfare Home

Bei Miao drove his yellow car, carrying Mei Zhen, here.

"Beimiao, thank you for coming out with me," Meizhen said gratefully.

"Don't be shy, this is also for my own sake. I haven't been back for a long time either. Let's go in together."

The two walked and talked

"It's been so long, what clues could there possibly be?"

"I've always felt there's something I overlooked in what the fire chief said. We were interrupted because of Zhang Jian and Xi Zhao's situation, and that was the clue left by the dean before his death. That must be very important. What was the dean gesturing with his finger in that critical moment? Or did he leave some message?"

Bei Miao thought for a moment and realized that when the two of them were trying to escape, the dean had blocked the approximate location of the alien beast for them.

He then pointed to a general area.

The two picked up the instruments and began searching.

There is a park in the suburbs, a picturesque and pleasant place. Flowers bloom in abundance, vibrant and colorful, vying for attention and releasing enchanting fragrances. Birds sing merrily.

Not far away, there was a shimmering lake, its waters so clear that you could see the sand and pebbles on the bottom and the fish swimming by. A gentle breeze rippled across the surface, as if telling a story of nature. Sunlight shone on the lake, reflecting a dazzling light that warmed the air.

The group enjoyed a leisurely barbecue on the lawn, basking in the beauty and tranquility of nature. They sat around the grill, savoring delicious food and laughing together, spending a short but carefree time.

Xiangyang admires the flowers alone in the corner.

"Brother Xinnan, I want Brother Louis to grill the barbecue for me this time," Xiaolan said, pouting.

"What? Did I not bake it well?" Xin Nan said with a smile.

"Hmph (￢︿?0?9?0?9￢☆), you always give me more vegetables than meat in my tests, while Louis's tests are all meat-based. And they're super delicious!"

"Xiao Lan, is it really that delicious?" Min Ci asked with a smile.

“Sister Minci, Brother Louis used to cook for you every day. You’ve been eating like that for so long that you don’t appreciate it anymore. That’s what they call not appreciating what you have.”

Everyone burst into laughter, enjoying the rare moment of relaxation.

"Hey kid, come and grill some meat with us!"

......

"I wonder how Meizhen is doing these days, and how the others are doing too," Xin Nan said.

"You're always thinking of others. It's alright, it doesn't matter who summons the Light and Shadow Armor, as long as the mission is completed," Xi Zhao said with a smile.

"Too."

"To be honest, you're worrying unnecessarily. Now that we've lost one of the Shadow Guardians, and we don't need to worry about the Shadow Realm, it's a rare treat to have such a carefree time. Enjoying ourselves is the most important thing," Louis said while grilling.

"Everyone else is living a relaxed life too. Kunzhong went to work for me during the summer vacation. As for Dongshan, I heard he went on some show called 'If You Are the One.' Beimiao went to visit his sister. You should just live your life peacefully."

Xin Nan nodded.

"That's true. Xiao Song, when you were a reporter, did you know anyone in the traffic accident investigation department?"

"There should be some, let me look. What's wrong?"

"It's a strange story. My parents were in a car accident ten years ago, and they left behind some things and documents."

Upon hearing this, Min Ci lowered her head involuntarily. Louis took her hand, held it tightly, giving her a sense of security, and whispered, "I'm here."

Minci looked at him and nodded.

“I was too young to sign for it back then, so they stored it in the database for me. I forgot about it after a while. Now that their office is moving, they've notified me to pick it up.”

“I know that,” Louis said. “I’ll go with you to get it.”

"Oh, is that too much trouble for you?"

"fine."

Let's take this opportunity to tell Xin Nan about it, so that Min Ci can finally put her mind at ease.
