【Zhou Ye】The Foot of Time

Chapter 21

That was the day Zhou Zekai finished his mission in the Centaur constellation.

The bitter war came to an end, but the hero who was supposed to stand on the hall of honor and announce the news of victory to the people of this star field rotted in the soil long before the war started.

"We won, but the person who was supposed to lead this war was assassinated by time..." Looking down at the cheering people on the street who didn't know the truth, Su Mucheng showed a little sadness on her face, "Should have appeared in the The names in the history books were erased like this.”

"Hmm..." Zhou Zekai responded softly, seeing the sadness spreading on Su Mucheng's beautiful face, but for a moment he didn't know how to comfort him—although he didn't know Lieutenant Colonel Su very well, he still had feelings. It is heard that the elder brother who traveled with her back then died of an assassination by time.Time lords never write their own history books, because every moment may change, so no one knows how much obstacle Su Mucheng's brother created for those enemies, so he was on the time assassination list.But since it is on that list, if that man is still alive, he must be a great Time Lord.

He is not good at words, so at this time, he can only silently hand over a cup of local specialty drink.

"Thank you." Su Mucheng took it.

This drink is too sweet for Zhou Zekai, but he knows that women who eat sweets when they are sad will help ease their emotions.After Su Mucheng drank half of it, she really seemed to feel better.

"Ah, how long can I take a vacation this time? I want to experience the harvest year of Canis Minor, but it takes 420 and six days of vacation, and one day less is not worth it—after all, in this year, every day They all have different cuisines.”

"Pick it up?" If you're called back in the middle of your vacation, it's fine to pick up the last time you're on your next vacation.

"It's not impossible to connect it, but to disconnect it will lose its integrity. In the little dog constellation, if you can complete the Harvest Festival and eat celebration food for 420 consecutive days, your family will be safe." Su Mucheng shook the cup and suddenly asked, "What about you? Where are you going?"

"Hmm..." Hearing Su Mucheng talk about food, Zhou Zekai suddenly remembered the pilaf in the capital of Gloni Star that he mentioned when he dated Ye Xiu a year ago, "Buy pilaf?"

"Bring it to someone?" Su Mucheng knew she was right when she saw the smile on Zhou Zekai's face unconsciously, and couldn't help sighing, "It's great, I have a lover... I want to find someone who traveled with me."

Zhou Zekai said seriously: "We will meet."

"That's for sure, it's just that we always need to spend too much time looking for it." Su Mucheng smiled, "The universe is so big, time is so long, and we're moving so fast—but as long as we can meet, it's sure Is it doomed?"

fate.

Zhou Zekai chewed these four words carefully, and felt that they were about to sink into his heart.

Su Mucheng laughed softly, and then said: "Okay, it seems that you are going to miss him, so let's go back and report quickly? This battle has been going on for so long, and it will take at least a month. To write a report."

Zhou Zekai couldn't help laughing too.

The vacation was longer than they thought, two months.Su Mucheng immediately jumped into her TARDIS Dancing Rain after signing, expressing that she was going to find the one she was destined for.However, Zhou Zekai first went to buy a copy of Xingmang and packed it up, and then went to the capital of Gloni Star, far away from the day of the double solar eclipse.

When he set foot on the streets of Gloni Star, it was afternoon.At that time, the first sun in the sky was already very close to the sea level, and it would not be long before it would sink below the sea level.Another sun quietly climbed up the ladder from the other side of the sky, dyeing the lavender atmosphere with a touch of light blue, and the light was as soft as a mother's gaze.This made him unable to bear to look up for a few more seconds. After all, even on such an ordinary day, the sky on this planet is still so beautiful that people will linger on it.

The Buka restaurant, which he has endless aftertaste, is on a not-so-wide street next to the central square.In this kind of business circle where every inch of land is very expensive, one can imagine the investment required to have a large enough store.Even if this restaurant is full every day, it is still pitifully small for a small business.When Zhou Zekai walked to the destination, the small shop was almost the same as he remembered, the five tables inside were already full, and dozens of people were already queuing up with their numbers waiting for the package.

On weekdays, Zhou Zekai would have taken the number and turned around to enter the TARDIS, and then jumped half an hour later.But today, when he was standing at the end of the line, he turned his head.

Opposite the Buka restaurant, there is a coffee shop.

Zhou Zekai had seen this cafe on the day of the double solar eclipse, and the business was pretty good.Considering that the packaged pilaf and snacks are all dry, he thinks he should prepare some drinks—anyway, the line is still long, so it is a good choice to buy two cups of freshly ground coffee during this time.

So he went in.

This cafe is not very big, but under the layout of the owner, it looks extraordinarily meticulous, warm, and... very earth-like.

Yes, Earth features.

When Zhou Zekai saw an Earth girl with red hair and brown eyes who was obviously the owner greeting him, he realized it—yes, coffee is a special drink from Earth.

"Oh!" The Caucasian girl seemed very surprised, and said in an exaggerated tone, "Are you human?"

Zhou Zekai hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

"Great!" She raised her hand and snapped her fingers, attracting the attention of all the guests present, "It's rare to meet my compatriots today, everyone is free!"

So all the four-armed Gloniians on the seats happily raised their cups and spoons, and let out their unique cheers: "Kuha——"

"I haven't seen a human being for a long time. Gloney, a small remote place, I have been regarded as a disabled person with two hands, and I can receive a disability allowance." The shopkeeper handed over the menu happily , "I'm so happy to see you, you can choose whatever you want, and I will make it for you myself."

"Thank you." Zhou Zekai took it, "Can you recommend it?"

"Oh, of course it's Mocha."

"Two cups, packed."

"No problem, nice big boy." The owner pulled back the menu, turned around and entered the bar, and began to wash his hands, "It's just a pity, if you can sit in the store for a while and talk to me more, I can definitely laugh Last three days."

"I will come again." Zhou Zekai thought about it, and added, "Take people, human beings."

"It couldn't be better." The owner ground the coffee beans neatly, "Promise me, you won't be able to pack it next time."

This enthusiastic shopkeeper should be very appetizing to Ye Xiu, Zhou Zekai thought so, and nodded with a smile.

The shop owner chatted, although she talked a lot, but it was not annoying. After all, everyone could see how happy she was to see her kind on this remote planet, and the excitement was enough to infect everyone in the shop.From her words, Zhou Zekai knew that she was stranded on this planet because of an accident during a self-driving trip, but gradually fell in love with the slow-paced and simple life here, and the light purple dreamy sky, so he decided to stay here , opened a coffee shop for a living, and it has been five years.

"Oh, by the way, Nim, Nim!" Frothing the milk, the owner suddenly remembered something and called out the waiter's name, "Come here quickly, take a photo for us—oh, sorry, you don't mind Bar?"

Zhou Zekai said no problem.

"I like to take pictures of the guests, look—" She pouted at Zhou Zekai's back, "It's all accumulated over the years."

Yes, the wall full of photos in the store is very eye-catching, Zhou Zekai saw it as soon as he entered.After he finished taking photos with his cooperation, he heard the shopkeeper go on: "Speaking of which, the last time I saw the same kind was a year ago, on the day of the double solar eclipse, and I saw three of them in one go - guess what? It's the triplets! Did you see the photo in the upper right corner?"

Following her intention, Zhou Zekai turned his head and looked at the upper right corner of the photo wall——

In an instant, before Zhou Zekai himself could react, his body had already started to move, and he quickly walked over and grabbed the photo into his hands.

Zhou Zekai could hardly believe his eyes.

That was Ye Xiu, with such familiar features, he would never admit his mistake, but——

one two Three.

In the photo, there were three Ye Xius sitting by the window and looking out the window.
