Sixty-eight feathers
No wonder my mother seemed to be unable to see me and had no reaction at all.
In the illusory scene, Ye Zhanli's skin was so white that it was almost transparent, as if a beam of light could penetrate her body.
Compared to Qu Yaoguang, Ye Linghan only felt that he seemed more like his mother.
No matter how others are washed away by time, she still maintains the appearance of a girl, very beautiful and pure.
"Mom...Mom..." He had never said this word since he could remember, so when he said it continuously for the first time, it tasted bitter.
When I learned that my mother had passed away long ago, I wanted to cry but couldn't.
His steps moved forward uncontrollably, and he staggered closer. No matter what had happened before, deep down he was desperate for a response.
"She can't hear it." Qu Yaoguang walked slowly forward and put his hand on Ye Linghan's shoulder.
Ye Linghan is taller and more muscular than him.
"These reflect the memories of your mother." Qu Yaoguang's eyes followed Ye Zhanli's figure, full of love and nostalgia.
He wanted to see her again more than anyone else.
The longer Ye Linghan was without his parents' company, the longer Qu Yaoguang was separated from Ye Zhanli.
Ye Linghan looked at the phantom in front of him. He didn't expect that the first time he saw her would be in this way. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad. This was like seeing his mother when she was alive, but he couldn't touch her. All that was left was longing for her.
Ye Linghan lowered his eyes in disappointment. Qu Yaoguang's voice came from beside him, "This was the first time I met your mother."
It was like a movie being played before my eyes. The scene in the picture seemed to be on campus, with trees planted at even intervals around the road, and occasionally students walking in groups of three or four.
"Is this...Todai?" Ye Linghan murmured.
Although the scenery is very different from the impression of the University of Tokyo, many basic buildings have not changed. It's just that the University of Tokyo campus in Ye Zhanli's eyes appears more childish, unlike the mature and powerful campus many years later that has been washed away by time and continuously renovated and added to.
"Yes, I was still a teacher at that time."
The illusion changed as Qu Yaoguang narrated his memories.
"Was mother a student at that time?"
"That's not the case." Qu Yaoguang denied it flatly. "At that time, she was the youngest and most outstanding Blood Hunter in the Blood Hunter Clan."
The scene in front of them instantly switched to the corridor of the teaching building. They followed Ye Zhanli's inner thoughts from a God's perspective. Her tall and strong figure was followed by two uniformed policemen.
After passing through several classrooms, Ye Zhanli stopped outside the door of a classroom.
A class was in progress in the classroom, and the white retractable screen was a bit of a hindrance. She walked a few steps inside alone, then leaned out half of her body and glanced at the person on the podium. It was the young Qu Yaoguang.
When she saw the person she was looking for, Ye Zhanli's eyes curved. The two female police officers behind her were about to step forward when she raised her hand to stop them. She looked at the time and saw that there were only a few minutes left before the get out of class was over, so she waved her hand to signal the two to wait for a moment, and then she walked in and went straight to the last row of the classroom.
These students were beyond her expectations. Most of them sat in the front, but there were quite a few empty seats in the back row.
During this period, many distracted students and Qu Yaoguang's attention were attracted by it.
When Qu Yaoguang was young, he looked at Ye Zhanli's profile and felt that he was unfamiliar with her. He had never seen her before. He always remembered the appearance of his classmates.
But it is obvious that he is not an auditor from another college, because he would not choose to come at the time when the get out of class is about to end.
But because he had to continue lecturing, he looked away from the other person, and his gentle voice was no different from now when he spoke.
Because I spent some time thinking about Ye Zhanli's identity, the get out of class was delayed for half a minute.
"Classmate, the get out of class is over, why aren't you leaving yet?" When he was young, Qu Yaoguang didn't dare to look directly at Ye Zhanli who was sitting in the last row. He could only pretend to glance at her casually while packing up the teaching materials.
"If you're not a student, then you don't have to leave?"
Ye Zhanli took small steps and skipped down the classroom, and came to the podium, in front of Qu Yaoguang.
The sweet scent of the opposite sex gradually approached, causing Qu Yaoguang's fingertips to pause for a moment, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.
"But...okay." His Adam's apple rolled subconsciously and he looked away from the other person.
Ye Zhanli leaned her arms on the podium and looked at Qu Yaoguang with her crescent-shaped eyes. "Why are you so stiff in class? If you smile more, maybe the students will enjoy listening more."
"Really?" Qu Yaoguang pretended to be calm. "Thank you for your suggestion, but I'm used to this way of teaching."
At that time, he had never communicated with the opposite sex other than students and colleagues, so he always spoke subconsciously in a cold tone.
After he finished speaking, he felt a little regretful. They met by chance and he didn't even know what the other person's intentions were. Why did he have to explain so much?
Ye Zhanli was not annoyed by the other party's refusal. She exuded an air of innocence and tilted her head to look at the other party. "Life always needs challenges and attempts. I just saw a picture of the DNA double helix."
He had an impression of this picture, but didn't understand why she suddenly mentioned it.
"Yeah." Qu Yaoguang looked at her and answered seriously without realizing it.
Seeing Qu Yaoguang's change in attitude, Ye Zhanli curled the corners of his mouth and said, "I just think this picture is beautiful."
Her eyes were like bright stars, the starlight penetrated the clouds and filled Qu Yaoguang's heart bit by bit.
"What's so beautiful about this picture? It's just made up of two polynucleotide chains."
This is what my teachers taught me in school, and this is how I teach my classmates.
"That's what you science students think, but I don't think so," Ye Zhanli denied and retorted, "Don't you think they're like two destined people? Even if they have to separate again and again, they can always embrace each other accurately and affectionately?"
"This kind of feeling that will never be separated is so romantic."
Somehow, Qu Yaoguang's long-held old-fashioned ideas were shaken by a few words from the other party.
But he tried his best to control himself and not show his emotions easily, but he did not refute her either. He just followed her words and said, "Well, it is indeed romantic." Then there was no more words.
An awkward silence hung in the air.
Seeing that the other party was so stubborn, Ye Zhanli felt a little disappointed and complained quietly, "Hmph - you are so old-fashioned, no girl will like you!"
As a girl, Ye Zhanli had a slight contrast in her personality and appearance. Her face was chubby and had a childishness that had not yet faded. It was somewhat different from the cold face in Ye Linghan's dream.
"Forget it..." The girl who was spoiled like a jewel in the palm of her hand at home was deflated when facing Qu Yaoguang. "I came to you this time to ask if you can join us. Because I heard that you have strong professional ability, I want to invite you."
She got straight to the point and called in the two female police officers outside.
The phantom in his sight gradually faded, and his mother's figure gradually disappeared. Ye Linghan felt a little at a loss.
"At that time, the relationship between the police and Blood Hunter was quite harmonious." Qu Yaoguang spoke slowly from the side, turning out the long-forgotten memory puzzle in his mind and merging it with the phantom.
"Although I appeared calm on the surface at that time, deep down I was already attracted to your mother. Perhaps it's just like what she said, people who are destined to be together will embrace each other again no matter how distant they are."
"So, you choose to join them."
"Yeah." Qu Yaoguang nodded.
The phantom became clear again, presenting a new picture.
"This happened when we were on a mission. There were too many vampires and your mother couldn't handle it, so I took a hit for her."
A blood mist suddenly flashed before his eyes. Ye Linghan subconsciously closed his eyes. He opened his eyes again after realizing that the scenery in front of him was fake. He found that in the illusion, there were several people lying around. Ye Zhanli was standing in the middle, looking at Qu Yaoguang in front of him with astonishment, who had five blood holes on his shoulders.
A vampire inserted five fingers of varying depths into Qu Yaoguang's shoulders, and the blood mist erupted from his body.
"You are looking for death!" Ye Zhanli tried his best to swing the ring knife in his hand and cut off the vampire's arm. Then the specially made ring knife was turned in a direction and stabbed into the vampire's throat, killing him with one blow.
Without any strength left in his body, Ye Zhanli's body swayed and was about to fall, but was caught steadily by Qu Yaoguang.
"Ali!" When his body fell down, it just pressed on the wound. He frowned and gritted his teeth to prevent himself from making a sound.
"Does it hurt?" As soon as the other party finished speaking, Ye Zhanli noticed the painful expression on his face, and struggled to get up, but was pressed back into Qu Yaoguang's arms.
He shook his head. "I'm not hurt. As long as you're okay, I..."
He was a little scared, afraid that he would never see her again.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Zhanli's eyes were full of anticipation, and for a moment he put all the pain and tiredness behind him.
Qu Yaoguang met her starry eyes, his lips opening and closing as he managed to squeeze out a few words, "I'm afraid we can't be colleagues anymore."
He is not stupid. He knows what he is thinking and can see through the other person's mind. However, he is just an ordinary man. When encountering problems, he can only risk his life and has nothing else to use. How can he be worthy of the only daughter of the Blood Hunter Clan? Therefore, he pretended to be stupid and tried to get away with it.
Ye Zhanli's eyes darkened, he took a deep breath, and then exhaled heavily.
In that moment of distraction, Qu Yaoguang felt his arms go empty, and found that Ye Zhanli had taken advantage of the opportunity and broke free. He was about to say something else, but he heard the other party speak first.
"Come on, I'll take you to find your father."
"What do you want to see the clan leader for?"
Ye Zhanli glanced at him and said, "Don't think too much. I just asked my father to help take a look at your injuries. After all, it's not easy for a mortal to take such a blow."
This time it was Qu Yaoguang who felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, but he had no right to say anything more, so he had to agree.
The scene in the illusion changed again, and an old house appeared as far as the eye could see.
Ye Linghan didn't know where this was, but it was very familiar to Qu Yaoguang.
"This is the old house of Blood Lie, and it's also where your mother grew up." Qu Yaoguang sighed.
For Ye Linghan, it was an injection of new memories, but for Qu Yaoguang, it was reopening the scars.
"So the clan leader didn't agree with you and my mother being together back then?" Ye Linghan recalled Su Mo's words.
"Well, you can call him grandpa." Qu Yaoguang corrected.
The word "grandfather" was even more unfamiliar to Ye Linghan, so he just listened without saying a word and making any response.
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Qu Yaoguang didn't force him. He just acted like a tour guide and explained to him what was shown in the illusion.
"You must be aware that Blood Hunters do not marry outsiders, not to mention that I'm just an ordinary person."
"Yeah, I heard from Brother Mo."
Qu Yaoguang wasn't surprised either. He just said slowly, "After I was injured, Ah Li took me back to the old house, which is where you see it now. At first, the clan leader didn't know about the dispute between us, so he patiently found someone to treat my injuries and provided me with a place to recuperate."
The place where his mother grew up was very similar to the mysterious Blood Hunter old house that Ye Linghan had imagined in his mind.
