As it turns out, the great Mr. Oakes did not disappoint Yunwei's expectations.
The little acorn cheered and hummed an ancient song.
In a fantastical rhythm, the layers of branches of the hanging tree bloom with countless threads of light, each thread connecting to other unknown times and spaces.
Within the countless light screens, Yun Wei saw countless versions of himself.
They are themselves from the past and the future, existing in different times and spaces, and in intersecting universes.
Whether in sorrow or joy, whether walking or standing.
In that same instant, as if sensing each other's thoughts, they both looked up and gazed at the sky beyond the clouds.
Is the azure sky its true color?
Is it so far away that it has no end?
In this silent, unspoken question to the heavens, Yun Wei believed that they must have seen him too.
He couldn't help but shout, asking countless versions of himself, "Why me?"
The cycle of reincarnation is endless, with birth and death occurring in quick succession.
Why was it him who stood there, witnessing everything?
For a moment, no one answered.
His low, hoarse voice echoed in vain in the empty space.
"It's me..."
"It's me..."
Yet it felt strangely familiar, reminding him of a moment from the past, and the dazzling fireworks of the Jade City.
But those bright lights quickly dimmed, just like the fireworks that had shone brightly.
The remaining light screen was magnified infinitely, and the original location of the other party was now in the future, infinitely into the future.
Therefore, he should know that all past events were caused by causes and conditions.
"Your movement through time and space is the present. Because of the present, you are the usurper of all that is mine in the past and future."
The other person lowered their eyes and nodded, chanting Buddhist hymns.
In that instant of unintelligible spiritual connection, Yun Wei burst into tears.
In that extremely brief moment, he transcended and became detached from worldly concerns.
And soon enough, they sadly forgot each other.
However, the future self laughed as the other person flicked their fingers in the void, as if plucking a non-existent leaf or a flower that was originally nonexistent.
He heard himself speak, his voice no longer hoarse, but clear and melodious: "Yunwei, from there one cannot see, but from oneself one knows."
After he finished speaking, the other person's figure also disappeared into the past.
In the void, boundless sounds and colors seemed to rise up, softly chanting and murmuring.
Yun Wei then came to his senses.
His emotions were still surging, yet he was utterly calm amidst the ups and downs.
He turned to Isaac beside him and said apologetically, "Actually, I didn't understand anything just now."
Isaac's stiff face relaxed a little, and he whispered in agreement, "I'm not as smart as you, so I understand even less."
He was actually terrified.
Although the Yun Weis in those light screens all looked familiar, they were definitely not the Yun Weis beside him.
Especially the last one who appeared, with that expressionless face, caused him a dull ache inexplicably.
He still preferred Yun Wei, who was beside him.
No, he only loves Yun Wei, who is beside him.
The other person openly lusted after his body and praised his appearance without reservation, yet remained rational and restrained.
The other person looked incredibly fragile, so emotionally charged that it left him feeling frustrated and helpless, yet also so strong that it broke his heart.
They are passionate and outspoken, and their lives are vivid and distinct.
He was simply too tongue-tied to fully express his humble love.
He didn't know why his heart was beating so fast at that moment.
Isaac stared intently at Yun Wei, wanting nothing more than to break down his inhibitions and embrace him in the next moment.
But Yun Wei spoke first, saying, "I don't know how to know myself. Isaac, ever since I met you, I haven't been able to be strong, and you must take responsibility for that. So—"
The other person paused, and her small hand climbed onto his shoulder. Although she didn't use any force, Isaac felt as if she weighed a ton.
He vowed that he was absolutely willing to take all the responsibility for Yunwei.
But what should he do?
He could only stand there dumbfounded, even though his Achilles tendon was taut and aching.
He stared intently at Yun Wei, both desperate and hopeful, awaiting the other's final verdict.
Looking into those resolute eyes, Yun Wei was so nervous that he could hardly speak.
He felt his hand trembling as he placed it on the other person's shoulder.
He finished his sentence in one breath, "So, please kiss me hard, Isaac."
“I, Yun Wei, beg you, Isaac Moriti Temubranchi,”
"In this kiss, I prove, mmm—"
He never got around to saying the rest of his words.
He was kissed impatiently by his knight.
Yun Wei's heart suddenly raced. He didn't know how to describe this unusual kiss. Isaac's kiss was rough and fierce, yet tender, like an unexpected downpour.
The other person's large hand slipped under his arm, firmly holding his head, which he was too ashamed to look away from. Even with his eyes half-closed, the other person remained fixed on him.
With nowhere to run, Yun Wei could only surrender and close his eyes.
A faint, moist breath wafted onto his face, yet the man before him continued to relentlessly steal the last bit of air from his chest.
However, he himself was so happy.
He was hopelessly happy amidst Isaac's domineering and aggressive attacks.
Yunwei has completely fallen into ruin.
As a magician, he rarely devoted his energy to contemplating the scriptures on spirit and flesh, unlike a priest.
A magician's body is weak; excessive desires will only stagnate him.
But at that moment, he instinctively knew a fact.
It was him.
It really is him.
The man before him was the one he had longed for day and night, the one who haunted his dreams.
He couldn't wait to entangle with him, and in the playful chase and tender embrace, Yun Wei responded to Isaac's desire. He couldn't help but tighten his grip on the other's strong, muscular back, hoping that the kiss could last.
Forever and ever, until the end of the world.
...
O. Oakes was completely dumbfounded.
Although there are countless shameless humans on the continent of Zhuyuan, this is the first time He has seen someone so audacious.
This is His holy place!
This is too much, too unfair to Guozi!
Just hearing the faint sound of water and panting made him feel terrible.
He quickly covered his eyes with his conjured hand.
Oh no, if this continues, He'll probably have to give us more homework!
But as if by some strange twist of fate, He quietly opened his fingers again.
Then, He encountered the most terrifying moment in the tree's life.
The knight, who was intently serving his lord, suddenly turned his gaze. In the other's smoky gray pupils was a merciless warning and possessiveness.
O. Oakes quickly covered his eyes again.
Isaac, however, embraced Yun Wei and leaped into the air.
In the vast space of the upside-down oak tree, the two people falling downwards seem to be growing freely in the sunlight.
The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Yun Wei, who was completely absorbed in the experience, open his eyes. All around him were incredibly dazzling light and shadow of the elements, like a brilliant and deep starry sea.
But the quiet gaze of the person before me was more dazzling than all the starlight.
Yun Wei thought that perhaps in that instant, he witnessed eternity.
He closed his eyes with peace of mind and once again wholeheartedly immersed himself in the game that only the most devoted lovers could play.
Although he felt incredibly at ease, his arms around the other person's neck still involuntarily tightened.
In this space where gravity is scarce, it will take them a very long time to fall into the sea.
They could kiss for a long time.
