【Zhou Ye】The Foot of Time

Zhou Zekai first went to Ye's house.

He is familiar with the routine of the Ye family. During the daytime from Monday to Friday, Ye Xiu will definitely leave home to "go to work", while Ye's father and Ye's mother, who have retired, will always be at home.When he came to the door, Mother Ye had just come back from a walk with the dog, and when Xiao Dian saw Zhou Zekai, she shook her head and ran forward, almost staggering Mother Ye.

Mother Ye simply let go of the dog leash, and asked from a distance, "Ze Kai, you're here, why did you choose this point?"

Zhou Zekai bent down and touched Mr. Dian who was running up to him dragging the dog leash, lowered his head and said, "He's not off work. Come here first."

Mother Ye saw a lot of bags at his feet, and couldn't help complaining: "You child, why do you buy so many things again? Hey, you act like a fool when Ye Xiu isn't watching you."

Isn't it true that Zhou Zekai brought as many things as when he first came to the door.

"Where's Dad?"

"He, he went fishing early this morning." Mama Ye helped to carry some, and asked Zhou Zekai to take back the things without any politeness, completely treating him as a part of the family - the things the child bought at home, No elder would insist on pressing others to return the goods.

Zhou Zekai explained to Mama Ye clearly how to use these strange things, or how to eat them, and put on her a wrist watch that can detect her physical condition at any time. When she was grinning from ear to ear , opened the mouth and said: "Mom, I have to go on a business trip tomorrow."

"Going on a business trip again? Look at how busy you are... How long is this time?"

"...not short."

Zhou Zekai often goes on "business trips" for different lengths of time. Mother Ye is not surprised: "Then remember to contact us more, and use the one you gave us last time, the one that can make a projection..."

"Yeah." Zhou Zekai nodded with a smile, "Don't worry."

"That's what I said, but how can a mother not worry about it. Remember to take good care of yourself when you are alone, and don't be greedy..."

Mama Ye talked a lot, and it was just at noon, and it was rare for her to cook for Zhou Zekai herself.Ye's father was always in charge of the spoon at home, and Ye's mother's cooking skills were not very good, but Zhou Zekai still finished eating conscientiously, and even drank an extra bowl of soup.After eating, Zhou Zekai cleared the table, washed the dishes, and left while she was practicing yoga.

Then he went to Beijing many years ago, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he found Qiao Yifan and Gao Yingjie who were young teenagers in the training camp on the street.

During the Chinese New Year, Beijing will always look very empty. A large number of migrant workers return home. The fifth day of the Lunar New Year has not fully recovered, but those golden areas are still lively, and some special institutions and departments are still on duty—— Glory is of course one of them. Even the teenagers in the training camp have a full holiday from New Year's Eve to the third day, and half a day every day from the fourth day to the seventh day.

When Zhou Zekai found these two children, they were walking along Wangfujing Street with a candied haws each, and they were taken aback when they saw Zhou Zekai suddenly appearing in front of them.They would be surprised that Zhou Zekai wasn't surprised at all. We all know that he usually doesn't appear alone in Glory. If he shows up, it could only be that Ye Xiu is with him, or he is on his way to find Ye Xiu.

"Senior Zhou is looking for us..."

"The recording just now...is it still there?" In fact, even if it was deleted, with Zhou Zekai's method, he can restore it.

Gao Yingjie and Qiao Yifan looked at each other, then took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, stuffed it directly into Zhou Zekai's hand, and said with emotion: "Senior Ye Xiu is really good at predicting things..."

Zhou Zekai understood when he saw the USB flash drive—the two children had already returned the wiretapping equipment to Ye Xiu, and Ye Xiu not only did not delete the recording, but also converted the format and copied it into the USB flash drive for them to carry with them. Will also come to ask for this recording.

"Thank you." He put the U disk away carefully, stretched out his hand after thinking about it, and rubbed the tops of the two children's heads, "Thank you?"

"Ah?" Gao Yingjie and Qiao Yifan didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it, they realized that Zhou Zekai wanted to thank them, so they hurriedly waved their hands together, "No, no."

Qiao Yifan said embarrassingly: "Senior Ye Xiu has already taken us for a walk on Mars, and isn't your TARDIS only for Senior Ye Xiu?"

Zhou Zekai could only smile and rub their heads again.

These two children have a bright future ahead.

After saying goodbye to them, Zhou Zekai returned to Cloud Piercer, the first thing he did was to copy a few more copies of the recording, then plugged it into the driving console, and clicked play.In fact, he remembered the content of that conversation, and the time lord's memory was very good, but Zhou Zekai was worried that he would miss something, and having this recording would always give him a lot of peace of mind.

He wrote down the places and times that Ye Xiu visited alone, and wrote down the coordinates at the back.These coordinates will become places he frequents in the future, just like Ye Xiu did.

Hearing the movement after the two of them discovered the bugging device, Zhou Zekai knew that the recording was coming to an end.He reached out to click on the replay, and reconfirmed that the coordinates were correct, but found that there was still a section behind.

His hands stopped.

He watched the slowly moving progress bar and waited quietly.

Then he heard his lover's voice.

"Xiao Zhou, when you got this recording, you should have seen me for the last time."

"I guess...according to your temperament, in the end I may not even realize when you first saw me-I said it would be great if you had as many words as Huang Shaotian, then I would have I can know what happened in the end. In the end, you didn't tell me all the time, and I feel like I'm at a loss."

"But we're going to end up doing stupid things with a recording anyway, even haha!"

Then there was silence.But Zhou Zekai didn't fast forward, he just listened to Ye Xiu's breathing and waited quietly.

After 1 minute, he finally heard what he wanted to hear.

"Xiao Zhou, I love you."

The recording ends.

"Ah."

Zhou Zekai nodded, and after the distant years, he spoke softly, just like the one who was many years late looking back.

"Me too."
