【Zhou Ye】The Foot of Time

He wanted to say thank you.

He wanted to say sorry.

He didn't want to say anything either.

Zhou Zekai could only hug this man into his arms.At some point, he began to yearn for hugging Ye Xiu, even more important than kissing and making love - as long as there is this person in his arms, those stormy waves can be far away in an instant, he is just a leaf leaning on the quiet harbor lone boat.As long as he can anchor, even for a moment, he can forget how violent the wind and waves outside are in this short time, and deeply hide his unrestrained and broken expression.

Yes, Ye Xiu was right, in all space and time, there is no one who loves Ye Xiu more than Zhou Zekai - because back then, Zhou Zekai was loved by Ye Xiu unreservedly.

He patted him hard on the back twice, and Ye Xiu said, "...Well, so we should go buy a ring now? But I asked Mucheng, it seems that Carifrey doesn't have this custom?"

"Ah."

"Then how do you tell if a Time Lord is married?"

"It depends." Zhou Zekai calmed down and explained, "The partner is not of the same kind, the token and the key are hung together..."

"Huh?" When Ye Xiu heard that, instead of one hand, he squeezed both hands up, and pulled Zhou Zekai's face away, "Well you bastard! I hung up the key so long ago. Huh? Let me just say that Mucheng and Shaotian have always looked at us strangely—have you stamped my approval?"

"It hurts, it hurts..."

"It hurts to death!" said Ye Xiu, but he still let go.

Covering his face, Zhou Zekai was a little aggrieved: "I haven't finished yet..."

"Oh, then you go on."

"If your partner is of the same kind, you can bind and build a bridge for the TARDIS." Two TARDIS can be linked together, and can even be merged.Like Zhou Zekai's parents, most of the time they kept the two TARDIS in a state of bridging, and only split when one of them was going to leave temporarily.

It’s just that Zhou Zekai didn’t go into so much detail—give the key to the Tardis to each other and hang it together, that’s what a couple with deep affection in Time Lords would do; ratio is not high.Therefore, in the eyes of the time lords, having another key to the TARDIS can only prove that they are not single, and it is hard to say whether they have reached the point of marriage.

But although Ye Xiu is not a Time Lord, he also has a TARDIS.So in Zhou Zekai's view, it cannot be measured by the standard of non-similar couples.

Since you want to get married, go straight to the furthest step.

——It's not because the past knows the future, even if he didn't know this earlier, Zhou Zekai would still choose to do this.

"Hey, you can still have this function." Ye Xiu's eyes lit up, "Mergering... sounds like a big one—hey, but if we merge it and open it again, are we going to feed it salt? Or feed it sugar? ?”

"...sugar salt water?"

"Hahahaha, little Chuanyun may have suffered aggrievedly. That little ancestor of my family must not be able to do it. She has a tricky mouth..." Halfway through the smile, the curvature of the corners of Ye Xiu's mouth gradually eased, "Ah, actually You don't have to think about that."

Zhou Zekai's heart trembled suddenly.He understood what Ye Xiu meant.

After this separation, whether Zhou Zekai met Ye Xiu or Zhou Zekai whom Ye Xiu met, they are no longer partners who have entered into a marriage relationship, but lovers who at most stop at boyfriends, and will eventually become strangers who have never met before. people.The same is true for the bridge relationship between their TARDIS.

They have only now and always have only now.

And the only thing Zhou Zekai can do now is to extend this present as long as possible.

"Huh? What are you doing?" Seeing Zhou Zekai suddenly get busy, Ye Xiu was momentarily puzzled.

"Write the application."

Zhou Zekai tapped his watch, and a large piece of text was projected in mid-air - but Garrifrey's text was not translated by TARDIS, and in Ye Xiu's eyes, they were still extremely abstract arcs, straight lines, and circles. A combination of circles and dots.

"Application for what? Annual leave? But I remember that because you are always on call, you have a lot of holidays as compensation. If you ask for leave and receive a task, you still have to run as soon as possible?"

"This won't work." Zhou Zekai quickly filled out the form, and then recorded a video for Ye Xiu.Ye Xiu was completely puzzled, but he still cooperated honestly. Then he wrote an electronic signature and pulled out a hair for DNA entry.

Looking at the table projected in mid-air - the photo of the two of them side by side at the top, and thinking about what happened just now, Ye Xiu finally understood: "Could it be a wedding vacation?"

"Yes." Zhou Zekai replied heavily, and then pressed the submit button.

"Marriage leave will not be assigned tasks? How long is your marriage leave?"

Zhou Zekai nodded first to answer the previous question, and then said: "The earth's algorithm is ten years, one month, three days, eight hours, six minutes, and 24 seconds."

"..." Ye Xiu stretched out his little finger to pick his ear, and then asked with a smile, "Please say it again?"

Zhou Zekai repeated in a correct manner: "Ten years."

So Zhou Zekai was pinched again, with three points more force than before: "It hurts, it hurts..."

"I really should strangle you to death!" Ye Xiu pulled Zhou Zekai's handsome face and pressed him onto the driver's seat, "You have such a long vacation, can I ask you to tell me sooner?! You can tell my brother honestly that there are other things besides this. Is there any leave I can ask for? Ah? There is no such thing as Labor Day or Army Day and National Day in Garri Frey? Report that every day when you go home, you can see me pretending to be dead, and promise to die 360 ​​days a year without repeating the same way!"

——How can there be such a good thing... If you are on sick leave, you have to stay in the hospital on the home planet. For other legal holidays, you have to wait in front of the mission. Funeral leave is only one day at most, and you must specify the deceased. Soldiers only have marriage leave. grow long and are never disturbed.

However, Zhou Zekai, whose mouth was twisted and deformed, couldn't speak at all.

Fortunately, there is still something that can save Zhou Zekai from the fire and water——Zhou Zekai's watch rang again.

Hearing the "beep" sound, Ye Xiu let go of his hand and raised an eyebrow: "Don't tell me the mission is coming down?"

Zhou Zekai rubbed his face - he assured that it must be blushing - and then he clicked Accept, his eyes swept quickly, and he was greatly relieved: "Approved."

"Your efficiency is too fast, isn't it?" Ye Xiu was amazed, "The civil servants on the earth can have such efficiency in handling affairs, and the common people will wake up from their dreams - China can be considered fast in the world, but it is not as fast as yours. In comparison, it's no different from a sloth! I said, they don't need to go through an audit or something? What if a soldier wants to be lazy and get married?"

"Approved." It's just that the materials that need to be submitted are satisfied, and it's very fast.

"...So we can stay together for ten years? Forever? Ten years?" Ye Xiu seemed to have lost his energy.

Zhou Zekai showed Ye Xiu his watch, and the countdown had already started on it—this watch directly tested Zhou Zekai's time passing, and it would not change with the jump of time and space.Right now, they still have ten years, one month, three days, eight hours, five minutes and 32 seconds.

"Don't say it's been a long time since I came here suddenly. I really don't know what to do." Seeing the numbers above, Ye Xiu smiled so hard that he couldn't take it back. "Let's put Xiaoxiao and Xiao Chuanyun first." Build a bridge and think about it... Ah!" He patted his thigh, "I didn't do the most important thing!"

"Ok?"

"The marriage is over, it's time to meet the parents!"

========

Coach, I also want such a long wedding leave!
