I don't know how much time has passed.
Ring ring—
It was the sound of a phone call.
Shang Yan, who had returned to the bed, reached out and groped around.
"Wait...wait a minute." After taking the phone back, he paused for a moment and pressed the answer button.
"Hello." He was finally saved. Shang Yan had never heard a phone ringtone sound so pleasant in his life.
"Where's Zhou Ping? Why isn't he answering the phone? I'm not saying this to be mean... but did you two forget what you were supposed to do once you got home?" Ye Fan said helplessly on the other end of the phone.
"The Nightfall Squad is still waiting for Zhou Ping."
Zhou Ping took the phone from Shang Yan's trembling hand, his voice a little hoarse, "I understand, I'll go tomorrow."
“My phone isn’t on me,” he explained.
The phone should be in the living room now, not under the pillow like Shang Yan's phone.
"Oh? Oh..." Ye Fan responded and then hung up the phone.
After placing the phone back on the pillow, Zhou Ping lowered his head, his dark eyes fixed on Shang Yan. "Yan Yan, are you satisfied this time?"
Shang Yan pursed his lips tightly and buried his head in the pillow.
He looked like he'd been pulled out of the water, and he had no strength left.
But he shook his head slightly, and then spoke boldly.
"What? I can't feel anything!"
"You're awful, I don't want to sleep with you anymore!"
Hearing him say that, Zhou Ping, who had originally stopped and wanted to let him go, couldn't hold back anymore.
"...?" He lowered his eyes and looked at Shang Yan, who was still trembling, wondering how he could say such a thing.
"Yan Yan, what are you thinking about?" After turning her over, her dark pupils met those emerald eyes.
Shang Yan looked away, seemingly avoiding eye contact.
"What did you dream about?" "What did you remember?" "Why are you acting so strangely as soon as you come back? Why do you want to break up with him?"
"...Anyway, don't mention this again." He leaned over and pulled the person into his arms.
He reached out and gently stroked the back of the person in his arms, slowly soothing the lingering trembling in Shang Yan's body from excessive indulgence.
It's a dilemma—to do it or not to do it. Shang Yan just woke up; if this continues, he definitely won't be able to handle it.
Seeing that Shang Yan hadn't spoken, he rested his chin on the crook of his neck. "Yan Yan, what happened to you?"
"...This time, with the awakening of my second divine core, I don't have much time left. After my third divine core awakens, I will be leaving." Shang Yan buried her head in his arms. It was too cruel to say these things out loud... but it was better to say them directly.
"...Are you leaving?" Zhou Ping suddenly sat up, holding Shang Yan, his dark eyes fixed on him.
The sky has fallen.
"We can stay a little longer..." This was the first time Shang Yan had seen him so nervous, he seemed so nervous he was about to cry.
He awkwardly hugged the person in front of him around the waist, feeling that he had really gone too far today. Not only had they not broken up, but he had also almost made the person cry.
"sorry."
"Don't be sad, let's not break up..." Shang Yan earnestly confessed his sins.
Zhou Ping reached out and gripped his hand tightly, their fingers intertwined. "After you left, how am I supposed to find you?"
In this vast world, the chances of meeting are extremely small. Shang Yan was able to get to know Zhou Ping entirely because of 019's inexplicable bond.
Without 019, Shang Yan would probably have lived a mundane life on Blue Star. After his death, his soul would have wandered aimlessly in the world until he awakened his divine nature and returned to his original cultivation world.
In this vast world, meeting someone is not easy, and finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Shang Yan wasn't sure if Zhou Ping would be able to find him after he left.
“...It’s very difficult.” He said with some difficulty, “Finding me is very difficult, there’s less than a one in ten thousand chance.”
"Is this why you want to break up with me?" Zhou Ping pressed down on Shang Yan's shoulder, his dark eyes flashing.
"...But I can't let you be a widow, my wife!"
"What's the difference between this and being a widow? I don't want you to live that kind of life, that's why I'm thinking of breaking up with you..."
“Since you don’t want to break up with me, then don’t bring this up again.” Zhou Ping hugged Shang Yan and reached out to pat his head. “We can separate, but we can’t break up.”
He was exceptionally compliant in all other matters, but he would not budge an inch on matters of principle.
"I will find you." These words were spoken with unwavering conviction, as if a promise had been made.
He definitely will. Even if he searches every single world, he'll find Shang Yan eventually.
"..." He spoke with unusual firmness. Shang Yan paused for a moment, then whispered, "If I had known it would be like this... I wouldn't have slept with you."
I feel so tired and sore all over, like my whole body is about to fall apart.
Zhou Ping naturally overheard what he said.
"..." Zhou Ping's ears turned red, and he stammered, not knowing how to explain.
"I'm so tired, I want to sleep." Having voiced his worries, although they weren't resolved, he felt much more at ease. After being tormented for so many days, Shang Yan's mind relaxed, and his eyes couldn't help but want to close.
He reached out and patted Zhou Ping on the back, then lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
Seeing that he had fallen asleep so quickly, Zhou Ping sighed softly, realizing that he himself would not be able to sleep now.
019 made its entrance with a bang.
It stretched out its slender arm and touched the tuft of hair on Shang Yan's head, somewhat incredulously, "You guys are done so quickly?"
Zhou Ping:......
Zhou Ping glanced at it, grunted in agreement, and said, "He just woke up and his body can't take it."
Although he wanted to prove himself, there was no need to do so by making his loved one suffer.
"Oh," 019 nodded, and the next moment, it was pinched.
Zhou Ping cut to the chase, "How did you break through the barrier and bring Shang Yan here?"
019: ...
"This is classified information. How dare you ask about the internal workings of our system? You have no sense of boundaries!" Asking such a big question right off the bat, does he want to dissect himself to see the internal structure of his system?
019 was shivering.
"I'm telling you, I won't say a word!"
"Evil humans like you who covet our time-travel formula will be severely punished by our main system!"
"Besides your formula, is there any other way to break through the barrier?" Zhou Ping reached out and pinched the little white ball in his palm.
He wasn't evil; he just wanted to ask.
"Oh, can't you just use the dimensional ascension realm here?" 019 breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhou Ping wasn't after her.
"You're not going to go looking for him after he leaves, are you?"
Zhou Ping nodded in agreement, "Mm."
“…” 019 touched his chin with his slender arm. “Actually, normally, I should teleport him back to Earth after he completes his mission, but I can’t interfere now.”
...
Zhou Ping stopped listening to 019 and silently lay down to hug Shang Yan tightly.
