【Zhou Fumei】Walk left and stand right

85.

The high-speed train from Yanguo Coast to Longmen only takes 10 minutes, but it takes another two hours to reach Longdao from Longmen High-speed Railway Station.

Mephisto lived on the coast of Yan Kingdom for half a year, but he never came to Longmen once.Xiao Baimao lay on the porthole of the East Railway, looking at the densely packed retro buildings in the distance: "This place really hasn't changed at all."

"Is it the same in the previous life?"

Mephisto lowered his head, as if recalling some bad memory: "...Actually, I don't know. I've only fought here, and I don't even have time to go shopping here."

Faust wrapped the former commander's hands tighter: "That's just right, let's get to know a peaceful Longmen again."

Mephisto looked at him, then at the hands they held tightly.

"Aren't you going to be angry?"

Faust understood what he meant.The sophomore boy nodded and smiled at him again.

"I will mind. So, I will use new memories to overwrite all your past."

86.

Longmen is a magical place.

Even though the roads are narrow, there will be no traffic jams, and even though there will be no traffic jams, taking public transportation is much faster than driving.

Mephisto dragged Faust to see the scenery of Longmen streets and alleys along the way.The store signs extended from the side of the street, Xiao Baimao ran under the retro signboards, turned around and smiled at Faust.

"Look! The snack bar in front has a long queue!"

Faust looked at it: "This store has been open since I was a child."

Mephisto pulled him to the end of the queue: "It doesn't have a signboard."

"The best snack bar in Longmen doesn't have a signboard."

After a while, the two took a handful of food and got on the ferry to Long Island.Mephisto was leaning on the deck, stuffing squid tentacle into his mouth, and basking in the cool sea breeze: "I'll buy the brisket from that store next time."

"Have you changed your mind about this place?"

Xiao Baimao looked at his lover beside him.Faust stood on the side of the sun and used himself to block most of the venomous sun. Not far from the sea, the Longmen Financial Center stood in the very center of the city.

"Well. I'm in love with this place, just like I'm in love with you."

87.

Tallula's office occupies the entire floor of Longmen Financial Center. When the two walked out of the sightseeing elevator, the CEO was already waiting for them at the elevator door.

"It's so slow, it's up to you."

After arriving in Yan Kingdom, Mephisto has been chasing after Faust. Although he and Tallulah have video chatted countless times, this is the first time the two have met on Earth.The former commander finally ignored his reserve, he rushed forward and crashed into Tallulah's arms: "Sister Tallulah! I finally see you!"

"They said they were going to call me Auntie."

The President touched his head, and looked up at Faust who was standing in the distance: "You don't have any memory right now. I was your leader in the previous life, and now I am the guardian of this guy."

Xiao Baimao murmured softly: "It's still the gold master."

Tallulah patted him: "Don't make trouble."

Faust greeted Tallulah politely.After straightening his body, he looked at Mephisto, and then at Tallulah.

"Sorry, but I feel like I've seen you somewhere... I'm not talking about the previous life."

Thinking of the encounter at the school gate, Tallulah couldn't help covering her lips with her fingertips, and smiled gracefully.

"Who knows. Come on, they're all in there."

88.

For Faust who has no memory, the feeling of being surrounded by a group of beautiful women cannot be said to be good.The little handsome guy was blushed by W and Kingslayer, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

The meeting turned into an orgy.Tallulah shook her head, Frost Star sighed, and Mephisto gloated:

"Not afraid of retribution!"

The Kingslayer found this scene somewhat familiar. W touched Faust's bangs lovingly: "No, no, I have a share of the assists back then... right, handsome boy?"

In the end, Tallulah didn't watch it anymore: "You guys restrain yourself."

The two eldest ladies sat back in their seats at the speed of light.Mephisto laughed enough, and finally got to the point: "Don't you have something to talk to Faust about?"

This sentence was said to Frost Star.Snow Rabbit took a sip of tea and nodded: "Yes. I may have seen Faust long ago."

Not only Faust, but even Tallulah was a little confused: "What?"

"The scientific research circle is so small that you can't imagine. There are not many people at the top, and they even know the names of the children. On a project involving the polar regions, I cooperated with his parents for more than half a year, and I still watched it with my own eyes. His mother's belly is bulging day by day."

Mephisto refrained from asking Frost Star's age: "Then why didn't we say it sooner? Do you know how hard it was for us to find Faust?"

Frost Star is also very innocent: "Who would have thought it was him. When they named the child Faust, I thought it was a coincidence..."

Kingslayer shook his head, W sighed, Tallulah's face was as black as carbon.

89.

After Shuangxing drank the tea bowl, he remembered another thing.

"So, recently they were talking about their son finally abducting his wife in the scientific research group. I said, Mephisto, it couldn't be you."

Mephisto looked at Faust with questioning eyes, Faust broke out in a cold sweat, turned sideways and whispered an excuse: "No, I haven't told them yet..."

Shuang Xing was a little surprised: "They had a big project completed a while ago, and they should have gone home. I thought you had seen it before."

Faust was stunned for a long time, and suddenly remembered the phone call from his mother that day. The sound effect in the background of the call seemed to be the welcome bell of the convenience store in front of his house.

Wait, at that time, he and Mephisto seemed to be by the floor-to-ceiling windows...

Mephisto was ignorant of everything, only knowing that Faust's face suddenly turned red like it was about to smoke, and he couldn't even speak clearly: "This... this is... uh, I'll tell you later explain……"

The commander saw the little black snake who couldn't speak clearly in his previous life.But he suddenly found that when he thought of his previous life, his heart would no longer suddenly shrink into a ball.

It was as if some shackles had been removed.

90.

The cadres held up milk tea one after another to watch the show.Tallulah coughed softly: "So, Frost Star, why don't you write me a letter when you have time to follow other people's project progress?"

Frost Star understated: "I forgot."

91.

Frost star chatted with them until the last minute.The time of the scientific researcher counts against every second, and in another hour, she will be on the plane to Ursus.

The cadres sent her downstairs.Frost Star was standing beside the car, but suddenly turned around and grabbed Mephisto:

"Did you see the Patriot. Did he say anything to you?"

Mephisto was stunned: "Why do you say that?"

Shuang Xing refused to explain: "You recall."

Mephisto recalled for a long time, and finally thought of a place that was a bit inconsistent.

"Before he left, he said to me that Kisaragi Station...is the end of the person, the unfinished longing."

92.

Mephisto felt that this sentence was nothing special.

Shuang Xing seemed to have lost his soul.She plopped and knelt on the ground, covering her face and crying loudly.

"Father... Father!"

Tallulah seemed to know everything.She walked forward, lowered her body, and silently hugged Frost Star's back.

That is the backbone of the Integrative Movement Center, an ice monster that cannot be shaken even by war or death.At this time, she was crawling at Mephisto's feet, shrunk to a small size, like an ordinary child who lost her shelter.

93.

Another plane took off from Longmen Airport.Through the glass window, Mephisto watched the plane gradually drift away.

After Frost Star left, Tallulah pulled him aside and specially brought Faust with him.

"Frost Star failed the test of the Kisaragi train. She had no chance of being reincarnated here, so the patriot chose to become a god in exchange for her life."

To become a god means to be trapped in a desolate and lonely place forever.Tallulah choked up for a moment, wiped her face, and held the two hands from left to right.

"Mephisto, you are not the only one who resolutely chooses to save the one you love. But you are lucky, you and Faust have both come here... So, you must be good, promise me, both of you Be good."

At that moment, Mephisto understood the reason why the patriots would not hesitate to change their fate against the sky, but also to help themselves.

The two sat on the high-speed train on the way back, with souvenirs brought by the cadres piled up under their feet.Froststar's gift was ore from the polar regions. She asked someone to carve the ore into a pattern of integrated movement and make it into a necklace.

At this time, the crystal ore was shining on the necks of the two of them.

94.

The two of them plugged in a bluetooth headset and played gentle Longmen songs.Faust looked at him, and covered his hands again.

"In the previous life, was our relationship that good?"

Mephisto sneered: "You are just friendly with them. I am a little bastard, and they all pointed at my nose and scolded me."

Faust laughed too.

"If only there had been no war."

"...It's not all bad."

Mephisto paused.

"If there hadn't been a war, you wouldn't have come to my side."

95.

Without the war, there would be no integration movement; without the integration movement, there would be no welcome speech; without that welcome speech, Mephisto would pass by Faust, and since then, the world will be strangers, at the end , they will each die somewhere in the world of Terra.

Faust nodded and clasped his ten fingers.

96.

The high-speed train arrived at Yanguo Station.People flocked off the high-speed train, and the deserted platform suddenly became bustling, with a little bit of human fireworks.

The cadres gave a lot of gifts, and Faust was accidentally hit by a passing pedestrian while carrying a large bag.When he raised his head again, Mephisto was no longer in sight.

The sound of the Bluetooth headset stopped, which symbolized that Mephisto was far away from him.Faust was a little anxious.He wanted to look back, but the flow of people failed to fulfill his wish, and they carried him up the escalator leading to the exit.

"Walk left and stand right, hold your hands steady, stand still—"

Public welfare loudspeakers broadcast the same words over and over again.Faust was standing on the right side, and on his left side was a stream of people moving fast. Faust poked his head around, but he didn't see the familiar figure in front of him.

He didn't look back, and counted the seconds silently in his heart.

97.

3, 2, 1.

98.

His sleeves were pulled.

Faust laughed.He followed Mephisto and walked out from the line on the right: "Why didn't you follow me closely?"

"It was washed away, there are a lot of people at the high-speed rail station!"

Mephisto led him up the escalator.Xiao Baimao found an open place, confiscated the gift in his left hand, and firmly grasped his hand: "Don't let me go."

Faust nodded: "I will never lose you again, I promise."

Mephisto smiled.

"It's okay. If you get lost, I'll catch you up."

99.

If love is an escalator, when you stand still, I will run to your back.

You just need to stand on the right side and wait for me to sprint from the left.

After Mephisto returned to his side, Faust's Bluetooth headset continued to play.The train traveled far, and the clear female voice just sang the last sentence.

"Even if we are separated from you, even if your broad shoulders are no match for cruel fate,

Even if I have gray temples, I can still recognize you. "-

End-

*The last sentence is adapted from Faye Wong's "Promise".
