A week passes in a flash.
During these seven days, Chu Zehuai took Bai Yu through everything he did when he was a teenager.
Including but not limited to pulling foxtail grass to weave little rabbits, catching grasshoppers hiding in dense grass, climbing trees to secretly pick other people's plums, and pretending to fish by the lake.
Bai Yu also used his extremely superb (cheating) fishing skills to shock the young version of Chu Zehuai.
On the evening of the seventh day, the man and the plant sat on the roof of the Chu family's old house, watching the golden crow setting in the west.
The setting sun melts into gold, and brilliant clouds cover half the sky.
“I’ve had so much fun these past few days!”
Chu Zehuai leaned on Bai Yu's shoulder, squinted his eyes and looked at the sunset in the distance, holding a dogtail grass in his mouth, and sighed.
These were the most pleasant and comfortable days he had ever had since awakening.
Without having to practice swordplay and go to school all day, the pain of the burning fire in the body was greatly reduced.
...
...
"Aren't these the things you and Lin Mo played together before?"
Bai Yu reached out and pulled out the dogtail grass from the other person's mouth. After breaking it, he rolled it into a ball and threw it casually off the roof.
"It's different. Lin Mo is a super stupid guy. Things that I can't expect always happen to him."
Chu Zehuai glanced at her with disdain, and suddenly came closer.
"I'm going to tell you a dark story about him. Do you want to listen?"
"OK."
Bai Yu raised his eyebrows. He had only heard Lin Mo talk about Chu Zehuai's gossip, and he never expected to hear Lin Mo's dark history from Chu Zehuai.
"Two years ago, when my grandmother was still alive, she would take seven-year-old Lin Mo to square dance. However, Lin Mo was addicted to games at the time. He was holding a mobile phone and Bluetooth headphones, killing enemies in the game all the time. Then guess what happened?"
"What's wrong?"
"Then one time, the Bluetooth on his phone connected to my grandma's speakers, and a group of old ladies who were dancing in the middle of a dance listened in confusion to 'We are launching an attack', 'Give me the soldiers in the middle lane', 'I will defend the middle lane!' That night, the whole square was filled with the sound effects of the game."
"Later, that dance troupe was called 'the tough old grandma dance troupe' by passers-by. After my grandma quit, some people still called her 'the loving mother guarding the center line', which made my grandma so angry that she beat Lin Mo up. Hahahahahahaha——"
In the setting sun, the boy leaned on the shoulder of the person next to him and laughed heartily.
The golden sun had completely set and the night had begun to darken. Chu Zehuai not only told Bai Yu a lot about Lin Mo's dark history as a child, but also told him a lot about his own dark history.
"I thought you would keep these past events in your heart, but I didn't expect you to say it out loud."
Bai Yu was a little surprised. According to the personality of the young version of Chu Zehuai, he definitely didn't want others to know about his past.
"If I had stayed with you longer, I wouldn't have told you."
Chu Zehuai supported himself on the cold tiles and looked up at the faintly visible stars in the sky. He spoke in a low voice.
"I feel...I should leave. If, I mean if, the adult version of me bullies you one day, you can use this to threaten him."
Bai Yu: “Puff——”
"Don't laugh, I'm serious. Things are unpredictable, and I can't guarantee the future, nor can I guarantee myself. This... well, this is my last gift to you."
Chu Zehuai spoke in a firm tone. He had nothing to give Bai Yu now. After thinking about it, this was the only thing he could give.
"You think too much."
Bai Yu leaned over and touched the other person's profile, smiling at the person whose ears were red.
"How can you cheat yourself like this?"
It's obviously the same person, just his memory and body have regressed.
“It’s different.”
"Okay, that's different."
Bai Yu took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to the other party.
"This is for you, my return gift."
In the box was a bead made of crystal clear emerald, the same size as a marble, light green in color with a dark green pattern in the center.
An extremely expensive marble.
“This is so precious.”
Chu Zehuai looked blankly at the gem marble in his palm, and suddenly felt that what he had given away was nothing.
"I.....what I gave you was just a very ordinary thing."
Bracelets woven from shed down feathers, some childhood drawings, and a bunch of dark history that I don’t know if it will be useful.
"No, you gave them to me, and I like them very much. To me, they are more precious than jewels."
That is not an ordinary thing, it is the sincerity and love of a young man.
Bai Yu reached out and closed the other person's hand. In the night, he saw the other person looking at him with sparkling eyes, and then he was hugged unexpectedly.
"Bai Yu, I really like you!"
Chu Zehuai pressed his forehead against the side of the plant and held the plant tightly with both hands.
"Yeah, I like you too."
Bai Yu patted the other person's back and felt the 'weakened' power that had become extremely weak.
By tonight at the latest, the 'weakened' power will be completely absorbed, and his boyfriend will be able to transform back.
"Does your body still hurt?"
He sighed and asked.
“Somewhat.”
"Then I'll carry you back to the house to rest. It's getting dark."
"Um."
This was the last conversation between Bai Yu and the young version of Chu Zehuai.
**
"I felt like I had a very long dream, but when I woke up, I couldn't remember anything."
Chu Zehuai looked at the familiar ceiling of his hometown, his golden orange eyes full of confusion.
“Why am I in my hometown?”
He didn't expect that Liu Fu's self-explosion would be so powerful. He clearly didn't feel any threat, but he lost consciousness instantly after the impact.
He never expected that when he opened his eyes again, what he saw was not the cold white ceiling of the hospital, but the roof of the old house where he used to live.
"There was a small accident. Liu Fu's ability weakened you to the age of fourteen. After discussion, we unanimously decided to let you spend the next seven days in the old house."
Bai Yu said, holding his chin in his hand.
"I see...I don't remember anything at all."
Chu Zehuai actually couldn't remember what he looked like when he was fourteen.
For a minor, the experience of that year was too torturous and painful. Under the dual effects of the memory protection mechanism and the psychologist's hypnosis, the memories of the fourteen-year-old year are almost fading from my mind.
"It doesn't matter if you can't remember. I think you were not in a very good physical and mental state at that time."
Bai Yu helped him tidy up his hair.
"But he is very interesting and cute, and knows many ways to seduce people, which is better than you are now."
After hearing these words, Chu Zehuai, who was lying on the bed, sat up immediately. When he found that his shoulders and chest would be exposed when the quilt slipped down, he lay back down immediately.
"What do you mean better than me?"
The golden-orange eyes stared at the plants beside him, and Chu Zehuai then noticed a light golden bracelet on the other person's wrist.
The originally dissatisfied expression suddenly became stiff.
In the past, he seemed to have said something profound to Bai Yu.
"You gave me this. You said it was knitted with the down feathers you shed for the first time and you wanted to give it to someone you'd like in the future."
Bai Yu shook the warm bracelet in his hand. This down bracelet has been around for decades and still has a high temperature. This shows how strong the awakened energy of the Sun Bird is.
However, it also indirectly shows that the young version of Chu Zehuai wanted to adapt to and control this powerful force, and the effort and pain he endured far exceeded that of other awakened people.
"I forgot. The memories from my awakening to my joining the Four Continents Alliance have almost faded away under the hypnosis of the psychiatrist."
Chu Zehuai whispered, his golden-orange eyes secretly glancing at Bai Yu.
Fortunately, the other party was not angry.
"I'm not asking you why you didn't send me off before. I just want to say that no matter you were before or you are now, you are both very cute and you like me very much."
Bai Yu leaned over and kissed the corner of the other's lips.
It's been a week, a whole week!
He could finally do something that he couldn't do to the young version of Chu Zehuai!
"Bai Yu, you——"
Chu Zehuai watched helplessly as countless vines and flower buds emerged from behind the other person. Before he could finish his words, the wandering vines climbed onto his body.
"I'll tell you what you want to know tomorrow. As for now, you have to make up for the time you wasted this week."
The pure white flower bud brushed past the corner of the lips, quietly bloomed, and the room was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
