Chapter 142 The Charm of Elders
"Really?" asked the Elf King.
He lowered his head and rubbed his cheek gently against the boy's palm.
The noble king, with a long life, showed a very docile posture in the palm of his young partner.
Mei Yang thought, in the beginning, I was attracted to him for this reason.
The timeline of the two people falling in love is completely reversed.
Every time the Elf King fell in love with me, although he was quickly forced to forget, the remaining familiarity made him treat me with extra favor and care.
She was captured because of the special care and the tenderness he often showed. She became bolder and bolder during her repeated reverse travels. She instilled in the Elf King who was earlier in the timeline the idea that she was his partner and radiated her enthusiasm towards him.
One thing leads to another, it's so wonderful.
If the timeline was not reversed, Mei Yang thought, if he had met the teenage version of Melida at the beginning, he might have become brothers with him.
Just like with Red and the others.
As expected, the charm of older people is irresistible to a pure man like me.
And I do seem to have a bit of an Electra complex.
"Yes, daddy," Mei Yang replied, "You are 'Mei Yang Trap'."
"Meyang trap? What's that?"
"What I mean is, no matter what you look like, young or middle-aged, you can still control me. I like you no matter what you look like!"
Of course, I like it the best the way it is now, Mei Yang added secretly.
The Elf King was very happy to be coaxed by him. He felt that Mei Yang was really good at acting like a spoiled child.
Although he is sometimes naughty, he is a good kid compared to those naughty elf cubs.
Elves don't age. I'll stay the same for many years. Is it a trap? It would be best if I could keep trapping them.
At this stage of the conversation, both parties were quite satisfied.
Especially Mei Yang, after knowing that the Elf King would lose his memory of him every time he traveled through time, he felt much less guilty.
Otherwise, he would feel a pang of pain in his heart whenever he thought about the loss and pain that the Elf King would face every time he appeared and disappeared alone.
"It's a good thing you don't remember." Mei Yang held his face and said distressedly, "It's a good thing you just remembered it all now."
"My heart remembers you for me," the Elf King said. "Thank you for coming back here and saving me from loneliness."
He lowered his eyes and added softly, "I was terrified last night. After my memories returned, I realized that you didn't actually belong in this world. Even though you were sleeping soundly in bed right in front of me, I was still afraid that you would ask Pan to send you back to your original world."
"No, can you be more confident?" Mei Yang couldn't be more pleased with his nervousness. "I always find you and get together with you right away."
Speaking of this, Mei Yang felt like acting like a spoiled child again.
He chattered away, telling the Elf King everything about the three times he had seen Pan and his conversations with him.
And concluded: "He's annoying!"
After saying this, Mei Yang finally realized that he could not say anything about Pan before, but now he could say it.
The Elf King patted his head and comforted him, "Don't think too much. It's not that nothing good has happened—he has compensated you with something."
"What is it?" Mei Yang asked curiously.
The Elf King told him: "It is eternal youth - little friend Mei Yang, you will never grow up again."
"Wow! So I'll live a very, very long time? As long as you?"
"Well, in two days, I'll take you to see a friend and ask him to tie our lives together so that you and I can share a long life. Pan only gave you youth. Without this compensation, in about twenty years, you'll be frozen in a middle-aged appearance similar to me."
"Hehe, okay, I quite like the way I look now. I want to always have an age difference with daddy." Mei Yang said happily.
The Elf King remained silent. He also liked the young Mei Yang.
Very lively and full of vitality.
It just allows me to give him all the love I have for my partner and my cubs.
…
At noon, the two of them still ate in the tree house.
Mei Yang had an idea and asked the Elf King for some meat and vegetables, and made a stir-fry in the kitchen.
Of course, he did not forget to stew some pear soup for the Elf King.
With the rice, Mei Yang's decent home cooking skills finally came in handy.
As he ate, he said stickily, "Meleida, daddy, we are partners now."
"certainly."
"Then I'm going to move into your room and live with you!"
"Yes," said the Elf King. "In fact, even if you didn't mention it, I would have taken the initiative to bring it up."
The Elf King really wanted to take Mei Yang to his room last night, but he gave up because there were still some things between them that had not been discussed.
Now, when everything is going smoothly, how could the Elf King bear to let his little companion live alone?
Of course, it should be kept under your own nose.
So the afternoon activity was decided to be buying furniture.
Before going out, Mei Yang ran to the Elf King's room to take a look, and found that there was no decoration inside as usual, and it was as empty as a model house.
Obviously, when Mei Yang was away, the Elf King lived no different from an old widower, and the word "bored" ran through his every day.
"I will decorate your room the way I like it!" Mei Yang clenched his fist.
The Elf King raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course, because from now on, this is also your room."
Previously, Mei Yang's room was decorated by an elf who was good at weaving and brought finished products.
He has already moved some of Mei Yang's favorite decorations and the leaf sofa given to him by his mother tree.
The two of them went out during lunch break.
The autumn weather is clear and crisp.
The seasons rotate, and this is the first time Mei Yang sees the forest in autumn. The fallen leaves cover the ground with a red carpet.
At first, Mei Yang obediently held the Elf King's hand and walked with him.
But the crisp sound of his boots stepping on the dead leaves soon made him restless.
Mei Yang then left the Elf King and skipped forward, having a good time.
But it happened to be afternoon, and the elves who had finished their meal in the restaurant were either rushing to work or returning to their houses to rest. They happened to pass by here and attacked the two of them head-on.
Many elves saw Mei Yang. Although they did not come up to say hello, they stared at Mei Yang with somewhat fiery eyes and stared at him so hard that Mei Yang felt shy.
He ran to the Elf King in dejection, grabbed the Elf King's hand, and tried to hide behind him.
"Why are you hiding?" The Elf King laughed at him. "Did you recognize them? Many of them were once your friends."
Mei Yang nodded: "I recognized it, but I'm shy."
shy?
During the previous times I traveled through time, as soon as we met, he would put his hands on his hips and say that I was his partner. I didn't see him being shy at that time.
I felt shy when I saw my old friend.
The Elf King couldn't understand the little friend's thoughts.
In order to prevent Mei Yang from falling behind him and stepping on his heels, the Elf King simply held him and jumped quickly in the forest.
Mei Yang exclaimed softly, but soon adapted and looked around with wide eyes.
The Elf King knew that he actually liked this kind of moderately stimulating experience. When he was still Melada, every time he took him out to play, Mei Yang especially loved being held and jumped around.
This is the tenth year since Mei Yang picked up the test paper and mysteriously disappeared.
Many years ago, because no new elves were born from the Elf Mother Tree for a long time, the Elf King carved a seal on the Mother Tree to allow it to recuperate.
Ten years ago, Mei Yang opened the seal with his friends. At that time, the Elf King thought that the cubs were too naughty and needed to be taught a lesson.
The next day he went to check on the mother tree, only to find that the mother tree was in much better spirits than before. Before he could tell Mei Yang, who was wronged by him and almost got beaten up, Mei Yang traveled through time again because he was looking for a test paper.
All memories about Mei Yang disappeared. The Elf King thought that the mother tree had recovered, so he led his tribe to continue developing the mother tree.
It was not until yesterday when I regained my memory that I realized that the reason why the mother tree was no longer willing to give birth to the elf fruit was actually because she missed Mei Yang as much as I did.
Now that Mei Yang is back, the mother tree should be more vibrant, right?
The Elf King jumped very fast, and soon the two arrived at the foot of the mother tree.
In the past ten years, the interior space of the Mother Tree was reopened. Every elf respected the Elf Mother Tree very much. Therefore, with almost unanimous approval, the commercial area was moved from the Elf Square back to the Mother Tree.
As a result, the entire area became more prosperous than before.
There was even a small entrance at the very bottom, wide enough for only one person to pass through.
"Meleida!" Mei Yang was heartbroken when he saw this. "What are you thinking? Doesn't the mother tree feel any pain?"
Mei Yang slapped away the Elf King's hand on his waist and rushed over to get close to the mother tree.
"I asked the Mother Tree, and she agreed." The Elf King explained, "You'll know when you go in."
Mei Yang was skeptical.
He took a closer look and found that the golden light inside the mother tree was even brighter. He then glared at the Elf King and changed the subject of "harming trees", which was a capital crime for the elves.
The thicker the root system, the thicker the bark.
Mei Yang followed the Elf King and walked into the cave. It took him several minutes to finally reach the inside.
As soon as he entered, his vision suddenly opened up, and Mei Yang's eyes widened in surprise——
So many! So many people! So many orcs!
In the nearly 700 square meters of space on the ground floor, there are shops of all sizes. No, perhaps it cannot be called a shop. It is more like a large rural market. Although there are simple carts, there are more small stalls formed by pieces of colorful cloth spread on the ground.
With the warm yellow lights, it looks like a lively night market.
Strange and bizarre goods, orcs with ears standing up on their heads and tails behind their buttocks, humans dressed as fishermen, Mei Yang suddenly had a hallucination of the shortest time he had been with the Elf King.
That time, they were together for only twenty-four hours, but their relationship progressed by leaps and bounds.
We watched the fireworks together and took a walk hand in hand.
"Daddy, I have to tell you something." Mei Yang pulled the Elf King aside, his face stern, and said very seriously, "I wanted to tell you that time, but I held back. Now I understand that some things are really intolerable, so I'll make up for it-"
"I want to say, I really, really, really like you!"
