【Zhou Ye】The Foot of Time

When 960 was two years old, Zhou Zekai became a general.When he put on a new watch, Zhou Zekai didn't feel much excitement.Perhaps it was because the finale was spoiled when I first joined the army, which inevitably caused some emotional ups and downs to end early, and lost the initial joy and surprise.Of course, it may also be because he has experienced more than his peers, and his heart has been honed to be calm.

At the celebration banquet, Zhou Zekai's unreliable parents...or father?Maybe they have become parents again, in short, they are parents, and once again failed to receive the news in time to come to congratulate their son.Zhou Zekai is also used to this. Although the time lord's stocking ability is not one of the best in the universe, it is still among the best.

If he had to share this day, apart from his parents, of course he would most like to tell Ye Xiu.

After the end of the teaching, the number of times they get along has plummeted.In the more than sixty years of teaching, the purpose of learning coordinates has tied them tightly together.When there is no such reason, how many opportunities does a pair of friends have to meet?And that kind of polite and alienated atmosphere made Zhou Zekai feel difficult to breathe all the time.

A promotion may be a good excuse. When people are happy, they always want to tell the world. It wouldn’t be too abrupt to travel thousands of miles to the earth to show off to a human friend whom they have met more than a dozen times, right?

But when he came to the earth, he suddenly realized that he had chosen an unfavorable date, which made him want to turn around and run away, but it was still a step too late.

"...Xiao Zhou? Is it Xiao Zhou?" Ye Xiu stopped him, "I haven't seen him for many years, let me think about it...well, it's been two years."

Well, gone for another two years.

"It's a coincidence that you came here, come here, eat something before leaving."

At Ye Xiu's invitation, Zhou Zekai could only walk in.

Yes, this day is May 29th, Ye Xiu's birthday on his ID card.But just like Zhou Zekai, for those of them who traveled through time, the date of birthday doesn't mean much at all.Ye Xiu almost never had a birthday, while the time lord's birthday is counted in years--to be honest, this should be Zhou Zekai's first, probably only, Ye Xiu's birthday party.

Obviously, this is not what Ye Xiu meant.

"I said that if it takes 360 days and five days to count as one year older, my birthday would have been misplaced, but they still don't listen, they just want to celebrate my birthday." Ye Xiu shrugged, "Actually, I'm not too sure about my age, it should be Is it 110 seven?"

The people around booed immediately.

"It's okay, as long as the day is right!"

"That's it!"

Ye Xiu handed Zhou Zekai something to eat: "You seem to be very busy as a general, and you rarely come to our place. I thought you became a consultant, signed a contract, and completely forgot about our place. What's the matter? on vacation?"

"...Mmm." The joy of being promoted was completely gone, Zhou Zekai could only keep his usual reticence, and responded.

Ye Xiu glanced at him, then suddenly stretched out his hand, spreading it out in front of Zhou Zekai.

"... Want a gift?"

"Of course!" Ye Xiu said confidently, completely forgetting that he just said that this day is not his birthday, "I'm the birthday star!"

"Okay." Zhou Zekai put down his food and stood up, "I'll get it."

He walked back to his TARDIS and dug out from the corner the gift box that he had wrapped and put in a long time ago—it had already been covered with a layer of dust.He gently brushed away the layer of gray, revealing the bright colors that had been covered up.Zhou Zekai stared at it in a daze for a while before returning to the bustling room.Ye Xiu was being persuaded to drink at the moment, no matter what he said he couldn't drink, the people around who smelled of alcohol would not let him go.

Zhou Zekai squeezed in, blocking the cups that those people put on Ye Xiu's face.Although he rarely showed up in Glory at this time, there were still people who knew his identity as the Time Lord, and they were a little scared, and walked away resentfully after being spotted by Zhou Zekai.

"Thank you, Xiao Zhou." Ye Xiu thanked, and became interested when he saw the box in his hand, "What is it?" The expectation in his eyes obviously thought Zhou Zekai, a well-informed Time Lord, took out The one in hand must be a good thing.

"Happy birthday." Zhou Zekai handed him the box.

"Then I'll take it apart now." Chinese people always pay attention to taking gifts and hiding them alone to take them apart, but Ye Xiu obviously didn't want to care about this, so he just took it apart, and then took out a figure from inside Very strange old mugs, obviously used for many years.He looked at it over and over several times and asked, "Uh, what's up with it? Is it a Sonic mug or something?"

"...the heating water has a pattern?"

"Pfft, Xiao Zhou, have you forgotten that I also lived in the 21st century?" Ye Xiu smiled, but he didn't look too disappointed, he just stuffed the cup back, "Thanks anyway! I Will keep it well."

Then put the box aside.

——This cup is very important.The pattern printed on it is not meaningless, it is the words of Garri Frey, the words of the children of time.It looks abstract, and the Tardis can't translate it, but that's my name.

——It is very old, I have used it for many years, but it represents me, represents my position in a family.No Time Lord would give it to anyone else, but I gave it to you, can you guess what that means?

——After you found out, you made up your mind to propose to me.You have been using it all the time, and you have never disliked it. You have even used it for more than 1000 or [-] years, and you have never broken it by mistake.

Zhou Zekai really wanted to tell Ye Xiu all of a sudden.

But he can't.

He didn't know what else to say, so he sat silently and stiffly in his seat.Ye Xiu took two sips of his drink, but he didn't have anything to say until he was called away by others.Those people wandered around Ye Xiu, a group of people were drunk, and finally gave Ye Xiu a sip of white wine.This man who poured a glass of beer, took a sip of high-strength liquor, and poured it almost immediately.Only then did Zhou Zekai recover his body, and immediately stood up from the chair, trying to go over and support him.

But before he got close, the people around Ye Xiu had already caught their leader, and then they moved him to the sofa together, laughing and teasing Ye Xiu about his drinking capacity.

Zhou Zekai stood there in a daze for a while, and then left alone, just like when he came.
