As time went by, Yuan Jingyi's second daughter could already run, and she chased her grandfather every day to pull his years-old beard. Zhao Hanyun's university life was coming to an end with her teachers and classmates turning a blind eye and always getting first place in the exams. She had finally caught up with Zou Li in the past two years, but the possibility of catching up completely was still some distance away, and there was still a long way to go.
"Where did you exile our pets?" Zhao Hanyun had been looking for Little Ball for a long time but couldn't find him. She contacted him, but he was still hesitant when speaking. When she was anxious, she told her to ask Zou Li. She looked at Zou Li with some suspicion. Could it be that this guy had locked up a few of them in the corner again? She remembered it most clearly. Last time, he threw a few of them to Antarctica, saying that he wanted to see if he could bring back a penguin.
"Why are you looking for them? They're already so old, you should let them go out for a walk." Zou Li didn't look up from the paper in his hand, knowing that someone was observing him: "Didn't you say you wanted to expand the farm recently? Aren't you busy?"
"I'm busy, so I wanted to ask the little ones for help. Tell me, where did you throw them?" Zhao Hanyun moved closer to Zou Li, looking at his flawless profile. She jealously stretched out her finger and poked it. The touch was still so good. "Could it be that they stole your limelight at school, so you got jealous and beat them back to their original form?"
"They're already grown up. Divine beasts that can transform are already adults among divine beasts. If you keep them around like this, it will delay them from finding a partner." Zou Li put down the paper in his hand, looked at Zhao Hanyun's face seriously and said, "My dear, you show your affection to me in front of them every day. Aren't you afraid that they will have psychological problems one day? So, I am doing this for their own good."
Zhao Hanyun stared at the face that became more and more charming with maturity, and rolled her eyes with disdain. The reason was really: "Who are you saying that I am showing affection with you for no reason? It's obviously you...well..." She silently took back the words she wanted to say, because experience told her that she would run out of oxygen if she continued to speak.
"Have you finished with the farm matters?" Zou Li, who had finally satisfied himself, let go of Zhao Hanyun, hugged her and sat back at the table. The paper that had just been thrown away was thrown even farther away, and Zhao Hanyun sat down opposite Zou Li.
"My family's farmland is now my personal property, and it's one of the county's main sources of income. It doesn't matter over there anymore, but I still need to go here." Zhao Hanyun pointed to a point on the globe beside him and looked at Zou Li with a smile. "Teacher Zou, I'm asking for leave."
"No, it's too dangerous. I'll accompany you, Teacher."
A few days later, Zhao Hanyun and Zou Li were on a train bound for Xinjiang. Seeing the two elderly men staring at each other, Zhao Hanyun helplessly reached out and pulled them apart: "Master, Grandpa Jiang, are you two planning to stare at each other until you get off the train?"
"Who asked this guy to follow?"
"I don't want to be with this person!"
The two, who were not at all carefree, tacitly disdained each other for a moment, and then said in unison again: "Who allowed you to speak?"
"That's enough, you two." Zhao Hanyun looked at the two people in front of him who were sulking and not looking at each other, and said soothingly, "You're already halfway there, calm down."
Before he could speak, he found that he could not make a sound. He looked up at the other person and found that the other person could not make a sound either. He laughed happily and then turned to Zhao Hanyun pitifully.
"No need to gesture. Before I get off the car, you two don't even think about making a sound." Zhao Hanyun placed the chessboard she had put away after the quarrel between the two of them again and said, "Here, let's play another game to see who's better. If one game doesn't work, let's try another."
Unable to utter a single word, the two old men made faces in boredom and didn't dare to proceed further. After all, someone nearby was staring at them menacingly. Playing chess, playing chess, they amicably divided the pieces, and the two old men finally began their second game.
"Aren't you afraid that the two of them will fight again over a game of chess?" Zou Li's voice sounded beside Zhao Hanyun's ears. After watching the show for a long time, his wife was still the prettiest.
"They don't have time." Looking at the two old men who were pondering their next move, Zhao Hanyun said confidently, "They'll probably play this game until tomorrow morning." Didn't you see them already lost in thought after just one move? Zhao Hanyun smiled happily, "I've set up a barrier over there. The flow of time inside is much slower than normal. By the time they finish their game, we'll almost reach our destination."
"You're becoming more and more proficient." Zou Li nodded. Zhao Hanyun's use of the small-scale barrier and the control of time and space is becoming more and more beautiful. It is estimated that by the time Uncle Yuan finds out, their ears will be quiet for a long time.
"That's right. I wouldn't dare wander around without some skills." Zhao Hanyun tapped his nose at Zou Li and said smugly, "After all, I have three great masters teaching me. If I still can't learn, then I'd be letting down their genius brains."
"Knock knock..." There was a knock on the door, followed by a voice: "Sorry to bother you, I'm a train conductor. Do you need hot water or something to eat?"
"Oh, please wait a moment." Zhao Hanyun replied. When he opened the door, he saw several people following the conductor. Seeing Zhao Hanyun coming out, they were very polite: "Hello, we are the police. We are chasing a fugitive. If you see him, please notify us."
"Okay, no problem." Zhao Hanyun took the unclearly printed paper, said goodbye to the person, and then closed the door. He waved the paper in his hand and asked, "How about being a good person and sending the person they're looking for over there? Look, there's still 20,000 yuan."
"You're in the men's restroom. Are you sure you want to go?" Zou Li raised his head and looked at Zhao Hanyun with a half-smile. "Or, should I go with you?"
"Forget it then." Zhao Hanyun understood Zou Li's intention very well and immediately said that he would not go. He playfully tapped his hand in the air and a ray of light flashed by: "Let those who are destined to find them find them."
Zou Li raised his eyebrows, as if he had seen something interesting, and then said with a smile: "If this were a child, he really wouldn't know whether it was lucky or unfortunate."
