Three months later.
Post-war reconstruction efforts were nearly complete. The last person infected by the Zerg had recovered and been released from the hospital. Damaged buildings had been repaired, and life was finally returning to normal.
The long-lost public suspension system resumed operation, and shops on the street opened one after another.
If this brief but profoundly impactful final war against the Zerg left anything other than scars...
In the heart of downtown, on a huge advertising screen suspended in mid-air.
An interview with Twenty-Four Pots was being broadcast at this time. The black and white panda smiled innocently at the camera, and countless passers-by stopped to watch.
"Mr. Twenty-Four Pots, many fans are very interested in what you have been doing during your nearly one year of retirement."
"I think you've all guessed it," the panda said sheepishly, stretching out its paw and touching the tip of its nose. "For this year, I've lived with my ancestor—the one you call Anchor Gu. I'm Yuanyuan."
"About ten months ago, when I went to Tak to look for my ancestors, the starship I was on malfunctioned, and I turned into a juvenile form in the lifeboat..."
Not long ago, the Guo family submitted an application and officially changed their surname to "Gu", which caused quite a stir throughout the galaxy.
The household name 'Gu Yumian' finally gained another meaning besides "a human who has saved countless lives", "the only SSS-level superpower possessor besides His Majesty", "a member of the royal family", and "a popular anchor".
Guardian of the Guo family pandas.
However, this incident was indeed unexpected and reasonable.
Because just three months ago, during the last live broadcast led by Gu Yumian, when the Zerg suddenly began to disappear and everyone was panicking, the pandas from the Guo family, who had considerable influence in various fields, were the first to stand up.
Combined with the previous variety show that was forced to be interrupted, we can actually guess some clues.
The host was not surprised by Twenty-Four Pots' answer.
"Can you tell us about Host Gu?" the host said, holding a card. "This question is the most frequently asked one among the questions we collected. I'm sure everyone is very curious."
It was just after get off work, and this interview was planned by a very influential media outlet and was being broadcast live to the entire galaxy.
If we say that the appearance of the twenty-four pots just now has aroused the interest of many people.
So after this question came up, no matter if it was people rushing on the street, waiting for the bus on the platform, or drowsy in the hovercraft... everyone couldn't help but look up and look at the light screen closest to them.
Anchor Gu.
No one doesn't know.
The reason why the Second Zerg War ended so quickly and without any damage was due to your Majesty's correct judgment and powerful strength, which defeated the Zerg Queen in one blow in the shortest time.
In addition to this, it is also thanks to that human being, Gu Yumian.
It was he who first discovered a cure for the infection.
And later, when an emergency situation arose and all the Zerg began to spontaneously disappear, it was he who used his mental power and His Majesty's together to control the situation in time...
However, after that, Gu Yumian fell into a coma. Although he was diagnosed with no danger to his life, it was unknown when he would wake up.
Fortunately, after the law of causality was modified, there was no need to rely on Gu Yumian's mental power. The distribution of energy particles in the Zerg meat changed on its own, and it could be cured by eating it directly.
Therefore, the final progress of the cure was also taken over by the Academy of Sciences.
"If it weren't for anchor Gu, the consequences would be disastrous. The infection would have continued to spread."
"Their family has made great contributions."
"I wonder if Anchor Gu has recovered? I really want to watch his live broadcast again."
On the street, people standing shoulder to shoulder watching the interview chatted casually.
The wind in the early spring evening is very warm, blowing slowly past my ears. After experiencing the baptism of war, I realize more and more the preciousness of this peaceful and stable life.
A little boy wearing a street-style T-shirt and shorts stood in the crowd. He had slightly messy curly hair and looked very cute.
He looked at the panda on the screen, and listened to the endless praises of the people around him for Host Gu, His Majesty, and several members of the Gu family. He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction and pride.
The person next to him looked at him for a while, and suddenly became puzzled: "Hey, you are..."
The little boy quickly lowered the brim of his baseball cap and disappeared into the crowd.
On the other side, the interview continued.
The chubby panda stretched out its paw:
"Our family? Our family has many members. Besides our ancestors and the pandas from the Guo family, there are also snow leopards, little foxes, and a silly husky."
Twenty-four Pots—now it should be called Gu Twenty-four Pots—he glanced at the gentle and dim twilight outside the window, and his thoughts stopped for a moment.
It seems like he is missing something or looking forward to something.
On the street, everyone was watching intently.
After a long time, Twenty-four Pots finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes gradually filled with smiles.
When he was talking about his most precious and proud family members, he couldn't hide his happy expression.
"I love them very much."
Twenty-four Pots slowly and seriously recounted the time they had spent together for such a long time.
“…”
On the side of the street, the bookstore owner directed the small robots to put down the boxes, rubbed his aching waist, and watched the interview on the screen with great interest along with passers-by.
On the other side, the curly-haired little boy bent down stealthily and slipped into the bookstore while the owner wasn't noticing. He quickly took a new book from the shelf that hadn't been officially put on sale yet and ran to the self-checkout counter.
“Hey! You!!”
By the time the boss reacted, the little boy was already scanning his pupils to pay.
The boss looked at the book the little boy was holding - it was the popular author Ling Xiao's much-anticipated new work "Room Full of Stars", which tells a story about family and love.
It was agreed that it would be released throughout the galaxy at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. He had a good relationship with the printer and was able to get the latest batch. What would happen if he bought it for this little boy right away!
The boss was so angry that he almost had a heart attack, and immediately tried to grab the little boy with his claws and teeth.
However, no one knew how the little boy had developed such skills, but he was able to transform back into his beast form with incredible agility, and ran away from the boss's encirclement with the book in his mouth, almost escaping.
Fortunately, at the last moment, the troublesome little boy was picked up by his collar and held in arms.
"Two, two—I knew you were making trouble again."
The young chief in a white coat hugged his silly little brother and sighed. The little boy was angry at first, but when he saw the young man's face, he calmed down and handed him the book as if to ask for credit.
Yes, the little boy with curly hair in front of me is the little Husky from Gu Yumian’s family, Er Er.
Several months ago, when this book was still in its infancy, although Gu Yumian was very busy, he would still take time out every day to spend a little time with the little Husky.
Gu Yumian said that when the book is released, he will be the first reader of Er Er.
…But now the book is about to be released, and he still hasn't woken up.
As the author of this book, Little Husky could have simply asked the printer for a sample copy, but he had a strange obsession and felt that that didn't count.
This is why the little Husky is standing here. He wants to help Gu Yumian buy the first book that is released.
The boy guessed what was going on just by looking at the cover of the book. He helplessly confronted the little boy for a while, then compromised and looked at the boss apologetically:
"I'm sorry to trouble you, but this book is very important to us, and this guy is the author of it. I wonder if you can make some concessions?"
"You, you are, you are... Oh my God..."
Even if the boss didn't know the human-shaped Er Er, he should at least know the child of the famous chief of the Academy of Sciences and anchor Gu.
With this premise, negotiations become much simpler.
Isn't it easy for the author to buy a book he wrote? Putting aside the principle, even if Er Er is not the author of this book, just because they are the children of the Gu family, the boss will be willing to give the green light.
The bookstore owner finally asked for the two people's autographs and took a photo with them, then smiled and saw them out the door.
After leaving the bookstore, the boy put his stupid brother down.
When the parents were unconscious, as the older brother, he had to take on the responsibility of teaching. Just as he was about to talk to Er Er about the reasons, suddenly their two light brains flashed at the same time, indicating that it was a communication with a dedicated ringtone.
The young man and the boy looked at each other and continued:
"Hello? It's me, um-huh?! Really?"
My heartbeat is getting faster and faster.
They were unwilling to delay even for a moment, and their walking pace quickly turned into running, rushing to the hovercraft!
On the other side, the interview was taking place in the recording studio.
"Sorry, wait a moment."
When he heard the exclusive ringtone, even though he was in the middle of an interview, Twenty-Four Pots didn't want to delay for a moment and answered the phone.
The audience was confused and could only see the panda's round eyes gradually widening in surprise.
Twenty-four pots suddenly stood up!
"Sorry, today's interview ends here. I, I..."
Everyone was wondering what urgent matter could make Twenty-Four Pots so anxious that it would ignore the live interview?
Then I heard him say:
"I'm going to see my ancestors!"
Ancestors... Ancestors...
Gu Yumian woke up??!
In less than half a minute, the good news spread quickly to every corner through the star network.
“…”
The whole galaxy is boiling!
A week later.
Early spring, 246th year of the Xinxing calendar.
Exactly one year has passed since Gu Yumian arrived at Interstellar Era and reported to the Starry Sky Live Broadcasting Platform.
It was a sunny day after the rain. It was already around four or five in the afternoon, almost evening. Under the azure sky tinged with gold and red, white doves spread their wings.
There are clusters of gentian growing at the corner of the wall.
In the upper city of the capital planet, in the imperial palace.
The soft and bright evening light shines through the window and falls gently.
The fair, handsome young man's nostrils flared slightly, his eyelids drooping, casting fan-shaped shadows under his eyes. Time seemed to soften its voice at this point, offering a bit of extra grace.
No servants are allowed to approach His Majesty's bedroom. His Majesty must personally handle all matters related to Gu Yumian.
After a while.
The young man's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes a little, facing the bright blue sky outside the window.
Suddenly I felt dazed.
"A year..."
Gu Yumian just woke up seven days ago. During these seven days, he was not fully conscious and kept waking up and falling asleep. He was awake for less than five hours a day. It was not until the day before yesterday that he was finally able to get out of bed and walk around.
But today, it should be completely over.
——The war three months ago, no matter what, did modify the law of causality, and Gu Yumian, as the person who awakened the "consciousness", had to bear part of the consequences.
Compared to the lives of many people, a mere three months of sleep is nothing.
It’s just hard work for Shuo Han and the kids at home.
Gu Yumian recalled the scene when he just woke up two days ago, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
Next to his pillow is the book that Er Er sent him. He has read half of it in the past seven days. It is a story that will fill your heart with bubbles of happiness as you read it.
The bouquet of flowers in the bedside vase is changed every day, and the plush dolls sent by fans from all over the world and bought by the kids are placed all over the floor. It is not difficult to guess the unhappy and sour expression on Shuo Han's face when he sorts out the large number of new gifts every day.
...Gu Yumian even once saw Shuo Han go to the Star Network forum and post a help post like "What should I do if my wife is too popular?"
But how could he be the wife? This is still uncertain, Gu Yumian thought, maybe he is on top.
Today's vase is unusual and only contains one rose.
The thorns were removed one by one, and the petals, covered with dew, were gorgeous. Gu Yumian reached out to take the flower and looked at it for a while, and his mood suddenly became brighter.
"Speaking of which, where are Shuo Han and the kids?"
When he woke up for the first time, there were a lot of people surrounding his bed, but after that, Shuo Han forcibly stopped him from doing so. Even though Gu Yumian really wanted to stay with everyone, his body couldn't take it.
Every time he woke up after that, Shuo Han would be there. Besides that, Er Er would come over to read with him, Twenty-four Pots and the pandas would come over to ask for hugs and rubs, or the little fox would carefully and meticulously tell him everything that had happened in the past three months.
But when I woke up today, there was no one there?
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a gentle knock on the door, and after answering, the door was pushed open.
The one that came in was Thirteen Pots.
"Ancestor? You're awake." The panda in Tang suit saw Gu Yumian sitting up, and his round eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked happily to Gu Yumian's side.
"Thirteen." Gu Yumian smiled and touched Thirteen Guo's head. After chatting for a while, he asked, "By the way, do you know where Shuo Han and the others are?"
"Well, His Majesty and Little Twenty-Four went to the downtown area," Thirteen Pot's eyes wandered, "to pack up."
Their first home on the Capital Star was in the downtown area, where they had many, many memories of them together.
However, due to various considerations, I may not be able to live there for a long time in the future, so I have to pack up some of Gu Yumian's things - of course, the house will be preserved intact, and I can go back whenever I want.
Shuo Han didn't want to let others or robots handle such a precious thing, so he went there himself.
Gu Yumian nodded and thought for a moment:
"Why don't I go too? I haven't been out for a walk in a long time."
He also wanted to go back and take a look, and he could just pick up Shuo Han and the kids for dinner, which was the best of both worlds.
"Hmm...I guess so."
Shisan Guo heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what he said. This way, he no longer needed to find excuses to deceive him. His ancestors were so smart that even if they had planned for a long time, they were worried that the excuses they found would be exposed and discovered by him.
Shisan Guo called the doctor in and nodded only after making sure that Gu Yumian had fully recovered both mentally and physically.
"I'll go prepare the levitation device—oh, ancestor," Thirteen Pot walked to the door, turned around, and winked at him, "Do you want to check your live broadcast account?"
What happened to his live streaming account?
By the way, speaking of which, having been awake for so long, he should tell everyone who cares about him that he can’t let them worry any longer. Gu Yumian thought that he had to thank the fans who supported him from the beginning for being able to gain a foothold in StarCraft.
During the time he was in a coma, there was a steady stream of letters and gifts sent to the palace every day. Everyone really cared about him.
Why not start another live broadcast? Gu Yumian thought and opened his account on the Xingkong Live Broadcasting Platform.
I was shocked when I saw it.
The number of digits following the “number of fans…” is almost incalculable, and the recordings of every live broadcast in the past have been played an astonishing number of times.
Even if the last live broadcast had a huge impact, could it have reached this level? Gu Yumian was a little skeptical. Everyone in the entire galaxy was following his live broadcast account.
Even after getting on the levitator, Gu Yumian was still thinking about this question and couldn't help but ask Shisan Guo.
"Oh, that." Shisan Guo scratched his head. "Besides the last live broadcast, it was also because of Weibo, and because of His Majesty."
On Weibo? ...Shuo Han?
Gu Yumian checked Weibo and soon found out why.
Every panda in the Guo family, as well as the Twenty-Four Pots, Qiuqiu, and Erer, all have the same content pinned to the top of their Weibo posts:
【Twenty-four Pots V/Mingqiu of the Academy of Sciences V/Lingxiao the writer V/I’m just a crosstalk teller V:
Parents @Gu Yumian V. 】
“…”
Oh, so that’s how it is.
Besides that, there's also Shuo Han's account. That official verified account had been completely blank until recently, when it posted a blog post that resembled a confession. Since then, it's been reposting news or content related to Gu Yumian every few days.
Due to his status and his own arrogant personality, His Majesty is unable to publicly say anything too explicit on the Star Network, but -
Like using the royal spokesman, Grand Duke Finnick, to say, "Your Majesty has found someone he loves, a human he wants to spend his life with." Or perhaps he'd even entered Gu Yumian's personal information into the royal website, displaying it on the homepage with great satisfaction. Or perhaps, like the high school girl he secretly loved, he'd quietly changed his profile picture to one that matched Gu Yumian's Weibo account...
——He was afraid that others didn’t know that he was about to become another parent for the pandas, little foxes and little huskies.
Now, for the vast majority of interstellar residents, #How did His Majesty show off to anchor Gu today# has become one of the daily pleasures.
Although it has not yet received the official stamp from Gu Yumian, Sima Zhao's intentions are already known to everyone. He can be called the most unreasonable "single arrow" in history.
"Um……"
Gu Yumian thought, it's time to give Shuo Han a parent's certificate. But how should he go about it? He'll think about it carefully later, but he'll start the live broadcast first.
Gu Yumian thought about it, logged into the backend page after a long time, and turned on the camera.
It had been so long since I last did a live broadcast, but Gu Yumian still found his familiarity in an instant and curled his eyes towards the camera:
"Long time no see, everyone. I'm the host Gu Yumian. Thank you all for your continued concern... Hmm?"
Gu Yumian saw the preview page projected by his brain freeze. Was it because of the poor network? The next second he realized——
The astronomical number of viewers that poured in at that moment almost exceeded the operating processing speed of the entire Starry Sky Platform server, and almost caused the entire server to crash!
It is difficult to distinguish the difference between the barrages with the naked eye, as they are all stacked densely on top of each other.
Marshmallow: I'll tell you! As long as you wait long enough, you'll get what you want!!!
Meow: Ahhhhh, it's Mian Mian!!! My whole family has been anxiously awaiting news from you for seven days, but His Majesty is such a stingy bastard!!! He only said you woke up, but wouldn't even release a photo!!!
[aufgg: This is a must-see, the future Queen's live broadcast...]
[Youyunduo: How is Host Gu? Are there any aftereffects? He looks healthy. I hope your family is doing well.]
Indeed, looking through the camera, Gu Yumian looked very good.
He doesn't look like he's just recovered from a serious illness. Instead, he seems more energetic and full of vitality than when he first started live streaming a long time ago.
Many old fans still remember Gu Yumian when he first started live streaming a whole year ago: a refined, handsome, thin young man who always looked gentle, but also seemed like a stranger who had no connection with this world and could leave at any time.
But now it's completely different.
No matter how slow it was to warm up, no matter how difficult it was, those light brown eyes were finally filled with stars that belonged to him.
"Thanks to everyone's help, I'm fully recovered now. I haven't had time to read all the letters you've written to me, and I've received some gifts. But you really don't need to buy anything too expensive, and there's no need to spend money on gifts on the platform..."
Although everyone was a bit overly enthusiastic, it was all out of good intentions, so Gu Yumian expressed his gratitude very sincerely.
Because it has been such a long time since we met again, everyone has a lot to ask, and it will probably take quite a while to answer them all.
"These questions will be answered later. We still have a lot of time, so don't be anxious."
"In addition to thanking everyone during this live broadcast, I also have something else I want to say."
Gu Yumian looked at Shisan Guo, who was looking out the window. Their hovercraft would soon reach the downtown area, where the Gu family once lived.
During the three months of coma, he followed that wisp of 'consciousness' through time and visited many places.
Therefore, I have a more thorough understanding of some things.
[Home in the Mine: Mianmian, you talk, we are all listening.]
The old audience knew he was serious as soon as they saw his expression, and they tried to calm down from their initial surprise and listened to him patiently.
"Well, of course, I might have some selfish motives behind what I said," Gu Yumian touched the tip of his nose with his index finger, "It's about the so-called 'albinos', about the 'inability to awaken superpowers', and about what many people call 'inferior races'."
"As you can see, my partner is biologically defined as 'albino' and I am human.
"My children, from the pandas to Er Er and Qiu Qiu, have all suffered a lot of unfair treatment because they were unable to awaken their superpowers or awaken special superpowers."
The audience has a strong ability to find the key points.
Huh? Mate? Is this finally an admission? Did a spoonful of sugar just slip by?
Gu Yumian smiled:
"Actually, in the world I've always known, the word 'albino' has never been equated with 'inferior'. And Shuo... the Majesty you're referring to is a snow leopard, a species now nearly extinct, not an albino."
"But that's not what I meant to say."
"For us and them, rather than 'special' or 'different', I would rather use the word 'special' to describe them."
The world is still like this today. This is not a problem that can be solved with just a few words. Its twisted and corrupt roots are deeply rooted in the ground of this vast soil and have been constraining this era for thousands of years.
But now, from the deepest and most fundamental place.
…it’s starting to loosen up.
Gu Yumian recalled the scenes of the past and future that he had seen with his 'consciousness', and the 'proposal on the complete abolition of definitions of albinos, low-psychics, etc.' that he had seen in Shuo Hanguang's mind.
I think it won’t take long.
Even in the near future.
The seeds that have been hidden under the frozen soil for several years are about to break out of the soil and grow towards the sun.
[Cucumber-flavored potato chips: Mianmian said it very well. It made me cry.]
Meiyuyu: I just heard the words "my partner" and I'm not the only one! Mianmian, please explain clearly, I'm so anxious!
"Hasn't what I said been clear enough?" Gu Yumian was both amused and confused. "My partner, the person I like is..."
"Hmm? Are we there yet?"
Gu Yumian paused as he felt the levitation device stop. He was about to turn his head to ask Shisan Guo when he suddenly realized that the boy had disappeared. He must have been concentrating on chatting with the audience.
The light in the hovercraft also went out, and the vision fell into darkness in an instant.
Gu Yumian finally realized what was happening. Could it be that today was some special day? Did the kids at home plan something together to surprise him? Was Shuo Han involved too?
[Strawberry's Little Happiness: Ohhhh! It feels like something big is about to happen!!]
The audience became excited and all kinds of speculations were flying around.
“These kids.”
Gu Yumian shook his head helplessly and amusedly, fumbled out his hand, and pressed the button to open the hovercraft hatch.
The sky was gradually getting darker, and the golden-red sunset covered the streets. This was a scene he had seen many times.
It was the final hour before dusk, and the lights in every house were still dark and silent. Their house was also dark.
Gu Yumian paused, then reached out and pushed open the door to his yard.
It rained not long ago today.
The moment I opened the door, I could hear the sound of an old record in the distance. The puddles reflected the twilight and twinkling lights of the entire city, and a wind with lingering moisture blew through every corner.
Gu Yumian walked along the path in the courtyard and saw a small black and white figure peeking out from the corner of the wooden corridor.
"Yuanyuan?"
He smiled, walked over and rubbed the little guy's paws, and was about to pick up the child.
"嘤!" The panda baby behaved out of character, blinked embarrassedly, crawled out of Gu Yumian's arms, turned around and ran away.
Leave a rose where it is.
It was the same one that stood by Gu Yumian's bed, its thorns removed and its petals wet with dew.
Gu Yumian bent down and picked up the rose. There was a small note hanging at the end of the rose, which read:
'Star'.
Shuo Han's handwriting.
This is the corridor where I ate watermelon and gazed at the stars with the little snow leopard and baby panda when I first arrived at Capital Star. Looking up from under the eaves, you can take in the entire golden-red sky.
The note turned over and there was a sentence:
'left'.
What kind of medicine are they selling in the candied haws?
Although he guessed that it might be clichéd and sentimental, Gu Yumian couldn't help but look forward to it. He looked to the left as the note said.
Right next to the left side of the wooden corridor is the window of the main hall, which is currently pitch black with no lights on.
Speaking of which...
"It seems like this window has been broken many times by Er Er."
The little guy never liked to go through the main door. When he got excited, he would bang on the door and the window, half-stuck himself on the window, grinning foolishly. If I remember correctly, I took several photos of this silly child before.
Maybe it's a telepathic connection.
At the same second that Gu Yumian thought of the little Husky, a black shadow came running towards him with the wind!
“Awoof!!”
“…Two, two!”
The little Husky jumped into his arms excitedly, and the window opened at the same time. The huge impact knocked Gu Yumian and the puppy into the room through the window!
It’s over, he was about to fall to the ground. Gu Yumian quickly protected the back of Er Er’s head.
Fortunately, he didn't fall to the ground.
The window was covered with soft pillows and cushions, which Shuo Han must have prepared in advance. When he opened his eyes, the dim night light came on.
The little Husky bit a rose and put it into Gu Yumian's hand, then turned around and went up the stairs.
"Er Er, where are you going? Can't you tell me?"
Gu Yumian called out from behind the little guy, and the little Husky paused, revealing a very conflicted expression.
It looked at him pitifully, barked twice, and then left cruelly.
Gu Yumian rubbed the corners of his mouth to hide his smile.
...He actually enjoyed it very much and just wanted to play a trick on Er Er.
What kind of surprise is it?
Sure enough, there was a note hanging at the end of this rose, which read "Home".
Their home.
Gu Yumian used the dim light of the night lamp to see the place where he and his family had lived for so long.
A blanket where the kids have rolled around and basked in the sun, a sofa where the family curls up together to watch movies on weekends, and a kitchen where you can smell the aroma of food just by closing your eyes.
Qiuqiu’s kitchen utensils, the racket brought back by Erer, the round little quilt, and Tuantuan’s exclusive pillow.
In the sunset, all the scattered and trivial little things are coated with a layer of warm light.
It shines like the most unique treasure in the world.
“…”
"A year..."
Gu Yumian closed his eyes and could smell a unique scent at the tip of his nose.
It smells like old furniture, old books, pine wood, mixed with a little early spring berries and rain dust, and the soft and warm notes of old records become clear in my ears.
By the way, it has been exactly one year since he came to the interstellar era. Is he celebrating this?
Gu Yumian thought so, opened his eyes, turned over the note, and saw the three words "record player".
He walked towards where the sound of the record came from.
The little fox sat behind the record waiting for him, a rose carefully pressed under its paw:
“Chi.”
The little guy looked up at him with his big wet eyes.
"Qiuqiu," Gu Yumian hugged the little fox, "What do you want to write on the rose you want to give me?"
“Chi!”
This was a baby whose eyes couldn't hide anything. They were terribly embarrassed, hiding this surprise, so shy and nervous that they just wanted to cover their face with their paws. The little fox left Rose behind and ran after Yuanyuan and Erer.
The note on this last rose reads:
'like'.
Turn it over and it says 'Collect three cards and redeem your prize on the balcony' on the back.
“…”
So childish!
But so cute.
Like what Shuo Han and his kids did, just thinking about Shuo Han's cold face directing the kids to decorate the house, Gu Yumian was touched by how cute it was.
The dusk had gradually grown darker, until at this moment, the last ray of golden red in the sky gradually faded.
There was originally a long and narrow wooden staircase leading from the interior to the open-air terrace on the roof.
As if he had a premonition, Gu Yumian closed his eyes when he opened the corridor door.
Close your eyes, then open them again.
The old wooden corridor has disappeared, replaced by an open-air sky corridor paved with transparent steps, extending all the way to the sky.
Walking up the stairs, you will see the bright lights of the entire capital planet below you. The higher you go, the closer you will be to the stars.
thumping.
"What on earth is this..."
Gu Yumian exhaled lightly, and when he stepped onto the first transparent staircase, fluorescent blue light gathered under his feet and suddenly illuminated the step.
An unknown magician descended upon the world. The simple melody of piano keys being gently pressed reached his ears, and a light screen floating beside him projected the first photo:
The little snow leopard had just arrived and was lying on Gu Yumian's shoulder, looking around with its eyes downcast. The misty sunset and time were intertwined and overlapped at this moment.
It was their first meeting.
thump thump.
Gu Yumian paused for a moment, stepped down the second step, and then gradually quickened his pace.
He seemed to be standing on a piano, and the notes in his ears gradually swirled and intertwined from simple and pure. All the notes accompanied him, surrounded him, and clustered around him, until they swept across the entire world like a sudden rain of fireworks!
——The melody that Gu Yumian wrote for Da Guo many years ago, after being adapted by Shuo Han, became so passionate and silent, so proud and soft, so...heart-warming.
The light screen in the air lights up and goes out, and all the past and future years stop at this moment.
The first meeting on Tak Star, the songs sung on spring nights, the long summer spent together, the first photo of the two of us taken in autumn, and the hands that finally touched gently in winter.
Boom boom boom.
The sound of the heartbeat became clear in my ears.
“…”
Gu Yumian took one step after another upwards, and countless fluorescent blue lights gathered on the transparent steps under his feet, like flowing light and stars, gradually interweaving into a ribbon-like galaxy!
He took a step forward, and the lights of the bustling city below him went out.
Starting from the bustling city center, it spread until he stepped onto the last step, until the entire city was plunged into a silent darkness.
Until everyone couldn't help but look up and gaze at the only dazzling galaxy in the night sky.
The music in my ears is about to reach its most exciting melody, and before everything comes, there is a short, quiet blank.
The man stood with his back to Gu Yumian, and finally turned around at this moment, gently lowering his eyes to look at him.
All the years we have spent together and will spend together finally overlap at this moment.
Stars, home, love.
This is what Gu Yumian once gave to Shuo Han.
At the same time, Shuo Han will spend the rest of his long life giving something to Gu Yumian.
His heartbeat might be a little too fast, and he even felt dizzy, almost like lack of oxygen. He had never felt the blood flowing through his veins so clearly before, and he even felt a little sore in his eyes.
Gu Yumian heard his own voice and asked:
