【Zhou Ye】The Foot of Time

If everything else is taken into account, and the lack of the earth-standard Valentine's Day two-piece outfit of chocolates and roses -- which Zhou and Ye are not too fond of -- it's a perfect Valentine's Day.

Of course they didn't stay on the earth honestly. Even if it is still open to question whether it can be called Valentine's Day after leaving this point in time, no one will care about it. After all, every date they have is romantic enough, or some The time is quite exciting, and to some extent, every minute and every second is living their own festival.

They went to another galaxy 1000 years later, sitting side by side at the door of One Gun Piercer, dangling on four legs in the universe, eating the delicious food scavenged by Zhou Zekai's parents, and watching the migration of thousands of space whales in the vast sea of ​​stars.Those animals, whose bodies are so huge that they can even reach a starship, dragged their tails divided into several parts, and quietly chased the "little lantern" that grew out of their foreheads and hung in front of their eyes in the vacuum.Every flick of the tail is graceful enough to give the illusion of invisible sea water all around.They chased and fought, and their huge bodies made various flexible movements that did not match their body shapes, winding out a long trajectory in the gaps in the orbits of those distant or near planets.

"I remember someone fantasizing about fish swimming in the sea of ​​clouds," Ye Xiu said to the magical creature in front of him while holding half a piece of sticky cake. "The real universe is even more magnificent than humans can imagine. Back then When you taught me to calculate the coordinates, I definitely said it was too difficult and didn’t want to learn because my head was caught by the door.”

"It's difficult." Geographical coordinates are easy to learn, but the algorithm of time coordinates, even for a Time Lord who has been watching the time vortex since childhood, will take a lot of hard work to fully master, let alone humans.Even now, Zhou Zekai feels that Ye Xiu who can drive a TARDIS is really amazing. Looking at a space whale with a child, the skin flashes with different colors due to the change of mood, and the mouth opens and closes from time to time. , Ye Xiu couldn't help asking: "Can they bark?"

"of course."

"But sound can't travel through a vacuum, right?"

"Very special." Zhou Zekai stared at them, "They are very kind and help travelers escape from the asteroid belt. It is said that their voices are beautiful."

It is more than beautiful, this very gentle and kind life singing voice is one of the most beautiful singing voices in the universe.

Ye Xiu said with emotion: "If interstellar voyages are accompanied by them, it must be much safer."

"After 2000, it became extinct."

"How did it become extinct? Black hole? Planetary storm?"

"...Poaching." Zhou Zekai lowered his eyes, and his tone was filled with sadness that he could clearly feel, "Skin and bones are very precious. Only one will be saved." And this last one, there is no one in the race. Under the circumstances of the future, he chose to use his last life to help mankind escape from the burning planet. (Note 1)

"...Too kind creatures cannot survive in this universe. The law of the jungle is the most eternal truth regardless of the size of the environment. Even if there are meddling guys like you," Ye Xiu took Zhou Zekai's arm Elbow, "But those who can be saved are really too few."

"...Yeah." Zhou Zekai lightly touched Ye Xiu's forehead with his head, "Fortunately, human beings survived." Not only did they survive, but they also walked out of the Milky Way, set foot on the entire universe, and created an unparalleled civilization. .

"If it weren't for you, human beings would have been extinct countless times, and the earth would have been occupied by aliens before BC." Ye Xiu grabbed another tata fruit in his hand, "But human beings are definitely the most capable of expanding in the universe. Race, what must be said... probably because human beings are very complicated, you can't give a unified definition of human beings."

indeed.

Most races in the universe have distinct characteristics.For example, Ood, who hold the second brain in the palm of their hand, they are destined to be invincible in the world; for example, cybermen, who transform their bodies into steel, and remove all emotions, they are naturally cold-blooded and ruthless; for example, silence, their existence cannot be controlled by anyone Remember, of course, you only depend on your companions and live in a dark place.

But human beings... they are kind and cruel, they are innocent and realistic, they are warm-hearted and cruel, they are philanthropic and selfish, they are great and small.No one personality can represent all human beings, and each human being has a unique soul that is completely different from others.There's no better way to describe it than "human," even though that's not an adjective at all.

It is precisely because of this that they can firmly take root in the universe and spread their footprints to the depths of the universe hundreds of billions of light-years away.It is precisely because of this that the well-informed Time Lords love this race so much, not just because of the similar appearance.

It was precisely because of this that Zhou Zekai fell in love with Ye Xiu.

"It's beautiful."

Zhou Zekai murmured.

Ye Xiu stared into the distance: "Yes, they are so beautiful, I really hope they can live freely like this forever."

No, it's you.

Saying this silently in his heart, Zhou Zekai smiled and looked into the depths of the star sea together.

========

When his age increased by another 20 years, Zhou Zekai received his mother's email for the second time on Jiali Frei.This time the mail has a lot of content, and it also comes with a large package.

"Baby, we found Momo Bird! Let me tell you, there are so many of them later, how could they become extinct before. It's just really strange, we used the species detector to scan the whole planet for three months , didn’t even find a feather of Momo bird. But three months later, somehow, I woke up—6000 million of them came out of nowhere! Your dad said that maybe Momo bird and bees on the earth They are also creatures that migrated from other planets, and they may return to their hometown regularly. But I asked the locals, and they said that the Momo Birds have never left and there are always many... I am so mad, obviously I told me before that it was extinct long ago! In short, I sent you two Momo eggs, no need to process, just crack open the shell and drink it with a straw, let’s taste it together with you! Oh By the way, remember to shake it before drinking. Hey, dear, don’t you say something to your son? Ah, I can’t stand it. It’s really hard for you two to have a word. That’s it, baby, mua!”

Of the last two eggs, one was drunk with a straw by two people. It was not fishy and tasted pretty good, a bit like a milkshake.But for the other one, Ye Xiu still insisted on making scrambled eggs because he had never eaten dinosaur eggs, and he kept saying how he never thought of going to the Cretaceous to steal a few eggs before.

Zhou Zekai ate the scrambled eggs and gave up explaining.

Although the scrambled eggs are not as good as raw, he didn't complain about Ye Xiu's cooking skills, really not.
