He came from the bell tonight

Sometimes Su Ling would ask Xiao Huaiyan about the past 12 years.

The most recent time was that they were on a remote and desolate planet, sitting by the side of an abandoned temple and looking at the vast galaxy.

Suling was leaning against a cold pillar, with ruins behind him.

They originally followed the clues to find a lost ancient civilization, but they did not find any valuable clues—there may have been civilizations on this planet, but it has been too long.Too long to be recognized, all disappeared, leaving only some architectural debris.

"I would have changed the place if I knew it earlier." Xiao Huaiyan lazily walked out of the pile of ruins.

He glanced at the gray ground.Fortunately, Su Ling was sitting on his trench coat.

"In the notes of the pioneers, it is said that this ghostly place can see the starry sky around the bend, which is simply a false comment."

Xiao Huaiyan's tone was not angry, but the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.In a way, the asteroid is fine too.The good thing is there is nothing.

It's not appropriate to leave just after arriving, not to mention that Suling seems to like it here.

Xiao Huaiyan simply pushed forward, pretending to be sleepy and resting his head on Su Ling's lap.In this way, Suling looked at the night sky, and he looked at Suling.

Can't seem to get enough of it.

"Have you ever been to a place like this before?" Su Ling asked.He lowered his eyes slightly, and touched his warm fingers on his cheek.

"Are you referring to the same uninhabited world? ... There are quite a lot. The military has some land reclamation projects, and sometimes the Freedom Ship will also participate. You know, these planets seem to have nothing, and some may just be asleep. Just Like an animal, it will attack when suddenly awakened."

Su Ling held his hand with his left hand, and the five fingers of his right hand gently rubbed his left abdomen through the fabric.He remembered that Xiao Huaiyan told him that there was a serious injury in a pioneering work there.At that time, Xiao Huaiyan laughed and said: "Fortunately, no scars were left."

But at this time, the person lying down was faintly guilty.The injury is not fake, but if it is "very serious", then it is questioning his strength.That kind of words are occasionally used to show weakness to Su Ling, which is not very easy to use.But after a long time, if you come several times, it is always easy to make mistakes...

Therefore, he took the initiative to hold Su Ling's hand, and said softly, "It's all in the past."

"But that all happened," Su Ling said softly, "You will never forget it."

"I forgot a lot." Xiao Huaiyan said immediately.

"——I only remember about you."

He squeezed Su Ling's hand, it was already warmed up, and it looked very soft at this time.He likes to massage Su Ling's hands, which will make Su Ling relax.

"Do you remember the first time we met?" Su Ling asked suddenly.

"Remember, on my birthday. Not only the first time, I also remember the second, third time..."

"The second meeting was at the gate of Imperial College."

Su Ling thought for a while and said, "There is also a fountain pool near Xuecheng."

That fountain pool belongs to the fading part of memory.In this universe, only the two of them remember.

At the beginning of that timeline, Su Lingzai stayed in Xuecheng all the time, and was occasionally transferred to perform tasks.Almost half a year after the first meeting, he had just finished a rather dangerous mission and stopped when he passed the fountain.

He wanted to wash his hands clean.The water is very clear and cool, as if it can remove all fatigue.

He sat by the pool until a pair of black boots came into view.

Xiao Huaiyan, who came back from the Imperial College, looked sternly, looked at him covered in blood, and looked away with a little disgust.

From then on, Su Ling knew about his cleanliness.

"Actually, it's not right. I just felt unhappy at that time. It's obviously mine, why did you make yourself like that." Xiao Huaiyan now is much more honest than in those years when he was just an adult—no matter which timeline he is in.

"Besides, it's so fierce to you."

When talking about the past, his tone was troubled and frizzy.

Su Ling nodded, and said flatly, "It's very fierce."

Xiao Huaiyan spread out his fingers, and clasped them along the crevices.

"Then do you like it more when you were at Imperial College? Like me who was stupid but behaved a little bit better?"

Even now, Xiao Huaiyan still struggles with this problem occasionally.

Of course, the main reason is to get something out of Su Ling's mouth.Otherwise, every time Suling looked at him, he would be like looking at a fool, and would avoid talking about it.

This time, Su Ling thought about it and said calmly: "There is no difference."

...is a stupid, irritable, arrogant, lemon-eating guy.

They all wanted to protect him, take care of him, and went to see him desperately.

so cute.

is the cutest in the world.

"How could there be no difference!" Xiao Huaiyan disagreed, "That guy, I... knew to bully you at that time—"

At that time, the two of them were too young and ignorant, and before they fell in love, they rolled into bed in a daze under the control of the contract.It was nothing new at that time, especially since the invasion of mimetic insects and civil strife soon occurred, no one expected such an inseparable fate later.

"I agree." Su Ling said.

Even if there is a contract, that kind of thing cannot be done by coercion.

"That doesn't count." Xiao Huaiyan took his hand and covered his face, and kissed the palm.

Su Ling felt itchy, and asked helplessly, "Then which one do you like more?"

Is it as quiet as if it doesn't exist, or is it always by your side?Is it different for Xiao Huaiyan?

"That's different, I like them all. I like you no matter what you are." Xiao Huaiyan didn't even think about it.

"me too."

Xiao Huaiyan looked at him.

Su Ling's fingertips brushed across his cheek.

"It's every past that made me who I am now," Su Ling's voice passed through the rustling wind, "It's all your decisions in the past that created you at this moment."

Xiao Huaiyan was immersed in his gaze, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

Su Ling leaned down and touched his lips.

They have kissed countless times, but this moment is just one of their kisses.

Xiao Huaiyan chased after him to touch him, and when he sat up, he put one hand on the windbreaker that was spread out, and hugged Su Ling to beg for a long kiss.He always wanted to kiss Suling, as if they were rubbing together when they were cuddling each other.

...there is no possibility of separation.

If time can be broken down frame by frame, there is no doubt that every kiss is the first time.

When lips and teeth were lingering, Su Ling suddenly said, "Look."

Golden light spots slowly floated out from the swaying wilderness.It was a firefly-like creature, they came from the ancient ruins, the depths of the reeds, or the end of the stream, gathered in the cool wind blowing, and gradually drifted into the night.

They seem to be rising infinitely, higher still, jumping in the bright galaxy.

Unlike the endless starry sky, these points of light converged into another winding river, sometimes overlapping and sometimes interlaced.

"Does it look like a corner?" Xiao Huaiyan's fingers framed a flickering area.

Looking from the direction of Suling, it really looks like the turning point of the galaxy.

He suddenly remembered the last stanza of the poem.

Almost at the same moment, a deep voice sounded in the ear, slowly reading——

"...we are a subset of time, dust,

Wandering in the wilderness, dawn, and mist.

Searching all the time,

comprehension, or long trek,

One day, I will forget to sigh.

When we meet again, you will ask me the same question again,

I would say:

If the universe really exists, the only secret

That must be about I love you. "
