Interlude 109 (Part Two): The Story Before Danheng Boarded the Car...
【Danheng】
Dan Hengsheng was born with some memories of his previous life.
As he grew older, his memories cleared away and became clear before him.
From the tedium and pain of childhood, to the forbearance of youth, to the power in adulthood, and most importantly... that person.
Crane Kite, a name that anyone living on the Immortal Ship would know.
He's in the news, he's in random notifications, and he's still on the street when you go out.
He was like the outer shell of Danheng's Vidyadhara egg, bursting into Danheng's world without leaving a single gap.
Danheng reads books, but his name also appears in many research papers.
It is said that He Yuan was invited by Bo Shizun many times, but she never thought of joining the Genius Club and has always been doing what she wanted to do.
He didn't join, but he did get to know several geniuses.
There's Nguyen Mai, who studies biology; Lady Black Tower, who deciphered the solitary wave algorithm; and Screw Goom, the king of Screw Star, among others.
The last one was also a suitor of He Yuan.
It is said that they met during Crane Kite's first advertisement shoot and have maintained a partnership ever since.
But they're just partners now.
They don't seem to have a further relationship.
Upon learning of this, the Dragon Heart in Danheng's chest rejoiced.
Danheng didn't understand.
He was still young and did not understand how strong a person's—or rather, a Vidyadhara Dragon Lord's—obsession could be, so strong that they would give up all their power just to forge this "immortal" "Dragon Heart," waiting for someone who might never appear.
The Dragon Heart should have been with the Dragon Lord, but it ended up with Dan Heng.
He asked, puzzled.
Long Xin replied, "Yuan Yuan doesn't like little girls. Didn't I harm them in the past? I don't possess every Dragon Lord. I only seek out outstanding members of the Vidyadhara clan!"
The implication is that Danheng is excellent.
Even without Long Xin's affirmation, Dan Heng knew he was excellent.
He learns everything very quickly, and there are no obstacles in learning anything.
Many people say that this is a talent belonging to the Dragon Lord.
But Long Xin doesn't think so.
With an arrogant expression, he tried to reason with Jie Danheng, "Hey kid, let me tell you, talent is the one thing every Ming clan has in abundance! Just like the Immortal Ship people, we never lack talent or time, so why are there still so many people who just loaf around and wait to die? Have you ever thought about that?"
"Even if you have talent, you can't do anything without putting in a little hard work!"
The young Danheng looked at what was in front of him with a blank expression, not knowing how to answer.
"These are lessons my mother taught me, and now I'm teaching them to you. Aren't you going to thank me?!"
Danheng moved his lips, "Then according to your logic, shouldn't I thank my mother?"
Long Xin: "..."
Long Xin: "He won't see you."
Danheng wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked in confusion, "Why?"
Long Xin: "Because he's afraid that you'll develop too many feelings for him and that it will affect your judgment when you're an adult."
Dan Heng opened Yu Zhao and pointed to the video on the homepage. "But I've seen him many times. I do like him, but I don't have that... pounding feeling you're talking about."
Long Xin could no longer contain himself: "What do you know, you underage brat! Your primary goal right now is to get good grades on the entrance exam for junior high school!"
Long Xin instructed him, "Although he doesn't come to see you, he took care of many things about you, including your birth in Lin Yuan Realm and your ability to attend school normally..."
Danheng recalled a story he had read in a book, "Then should I repay him by marrying him?"
He said with some distress, "But I feel like I'm not in the running. All my pursuits by geniuses have been rejected. Do I have to become someone even more amazing than a genius?"
Long Xin: "..."
Long Xin: "It's good that you have this awareness, but let me remind you that you are a minor."
“He has no interest in minors, let alone in seducing children who have just come of age. Your current thinking is naive and precocious.”
Dan Heng agreed, "I know. My current goal is to study, and then we can talk again when we're adults."
Dan Heng thought to himself: But he didn't think he was the kind of person who would be tempted by a beautiful woman.
Long Xin chuckled.
Everyone who thinks they aren't driven by lust will eventually...
It's not that I have too much self-control; it's just that none of the women I've seen before have been as beautiful, as strong, or as captivating as I've been.
Dan Heng vaguely sensed that Long Xin was disdainful, so he also turned back disdainfully.
"But doesn't it make you feel bad watching them date like this?"
Long Xin: "..."
His voice sounded much more weathered. "When time is long enough, just looking at him makes me happy."
After all, compared to those thousands or tens of thousands of years of blank space, life is already very good now.
At least he can watch over He Yuan all the time, see him happy, and see him still soaring in this world.
Dan Heng was puzzled, but did not ask any further questions.
He sensed Long Xin's sadness because Long Xin had just comforted him and had been teaching him some magic spells, so Dan Heng stopped talking.
What he just said... he was just a little unconvinced.
Why couldn't he resist?
Who knows, he might be the first person to be able to resist?
With this feeling in mind, Danheng was eagerly anticipating coming of age.
He traveled through the years on the fairy boat, and finally, at the end of his twenties, he met He Yuan.
He Yuan has been on the immortal ship recently, supposedly recovering from a serious injury, and only recently managed to find time to see him.
Danheng found this rumor very strange.
Legend has it that He Yuan is favored by dozens of star gods, is omnipotent in the Milky Way, and has participated in the construction of Pinocone, which is now experiencing a "gold rush". Under the planning of General Jing Yuan, she defeated one group of Bu Li people after another and protected many planets.
What kind of power could have injured him?
Star God?
But which star god is against him? Don't people all like him and share their power with him to protect him?
Moreover, He Yuan was already very strong before receiving the blessing of the Star God.
Injuried……
It's still a serious injury.
Danheng didn't quite understand.
He wanted to ask, but the stunning and bewildered feeling upon meeting her shattered all his prepared words, leaving only simple syllables.
Only at the very end did he ask, "Is the injury serious?"
He Yuan comforted him, "It's just a little emotional trauma, it will heal soon."
Dan Heng suddenly realized.
Yes, no matter how powerful He Yuan is, she is still a human with emotions and desires, not a star god who has abandoned all emotions.
Therefore, I am injured, therefore, I feel frustrated, therefore, I cannot think about it.
After all, everyone says that although General Jingyuan has divorced Heyuan, he is still the de facto legal wife.
No matter what, He Yuan would always find Jing Yuan to rest and would stay at the Shence Mansion for a month at a time.
That's a privilege that no one else receives.
...But emotional wounds are probably harder to heal than physical ones.
Danheng wanted to do something, but he knew too little and could only watch Heyuan leave.
Later, he left the Immortal Ship and wandered among the stars, doing odd jobs with his knowledge and even going to the University of Truth to earn several degrees.
Before leaving, He Yuan gave him a lot of money, enough for him to squander for a long time.
But... Danheng stubbornly believed that this was a gift from Heyuan and was unwilling to spend a single penny on it.
He yearned for an identity, a chance to return to the Immortal Ship and see He Yuan.
This opportunity came very quickly.
In what seemed like the umpteenth year of his journey, the Star Train resumed operation.
Danheng applied for positions as a train guard and think tank administrator, and successfully joined the Starry Sky Train.
Navigator Himeko didn't care about his purpose, only saying, "The very act of exploring existence is a purpose. As long as you follow the rules, the Akivili Star Train welcomes every nameless passenger."
Pam was even more blunt, "You have his scent on you, Pam! He provided a lot of fuel for the train, Pam can let you stay for a while, Pam!"
"The rest depends on your performance!"
As He Yuan said, he is a very, very good train conductor.
Danheng didn't know how successful his pioneering work was, but he did know that after he and March 7 drove a section of the train car, smashed a large hole in Taianko's head, and damaged the car, Pam did not condemn them.
He found meaning in his pioneering work.
It's not for status, nor for him, but for a better future and a better version of myself.
But deep in his heart, Danheng regarded Heyuan as the most important person.
In the future he envisions, He Yuan holds the most important position.
He wanted to condense his journey into a healing balm for his wounds, to fill the gaps.
He wanted to become close to He Yuan.
He wanted...
Long Xin often said he was greedy.
Danheng replied: "I am a dragon, and greed is my nature."
Dragons are very possessive, so to have gone this far is quite impressive.

Xiao Yuan: ? I'm very happy.
