【Zhou Ye】The Foot of Time

Chapter 61

There is no one who does not like sweet talk.

He is not a person who is good at talking about love, even if he opened his mouth, he seemed dry, and Ye Xiu even regarded him as just explaining a point of view.In comparison, although Ye Xiu is not said to be extremely good at it, no matter what age he is, those tender words that he utters can penetrate directly into Zhou Zekai's heart.

Regardless of the love story, or even about the distant past, Zhou Zekai thought many times that if he hadn't been clumsy with his tongue and cherished words like gold, things might have gone in a different direction from the very beginning.Take Huang Shaotian, who is at the other extreme, talkative enough to kill people as an example—if Huang Shaotian had a lover whose timeline was reversed, he would definitely not accept everything in silence, but would yell and ask who the other person was when they met for the first time, Such a chaotic timeline is clear from the start.That way, Ye Xiu wouldn't be unprepared for the sudden separation at the end—oh no, now that he knew it was the penultimate meeting.

Zhou Zekai knew that if he still couldn't speak, he would have no chance.He thought this was also the reason why Ye Xiu said he was disgusting - in the future, he must be trying to express his importance to Ye Xiu in various ways, even if he couldn't grasp it anymore, he would let these traces stay in Ye Xiu's heart.

In the end it became Ye Xiu's courage.

Gambling star reunion after separation is still library star - obvious.Except for this time and the last time, they will meet three times on this planet.Zhou Zekai watched Ye Xiu take those historical tomes seriously, and he could just stare blankly for a whole day.Ye Xiu didn't care about being looked at like this, but Zhou Zekai felt a little embarrassed in the end.

"Do you mind?" Zhou Zekai asked in a low voice.

"Mind what?"

"Look at you." Zhou Zekai was also often watched by people, and he knew how distracting this kind of gaze was.

Ye Xiu burst into laughter, almost losing control of his volume, and then stretched out his hand to pinch Zhou Zekai's face: "Come on, I'm used to it after being watched by you for so many years. When I first met you, you were like this and didn't talk , kept looking at me, making me wonder if there is a flower on my face."

Zhou Zekai gave a low "Yes", and since Ye Xiu didn't mind, he continued to read.

When Ye Xiu got tired of reading the book and had a rest, they would go out and lie on the outdoor lawn and watch the aircraft flying through the sky.

"The universe is so big..." Ye Xiu stretched out his hand towards the sky, then tightened it, as if he could grasp the world in his hands, "So many places, so much time, it's still expanding—even if I have infinite lives, and I don’t think I can finish it.”

"The universe will perish."

"Are you saying that it still has an end? Haha." Ye Xiu put his hand down, "That's really the end of time."

Zhou Zekai thought that if he was a qualified lover, he should say "I'll accompany you until then" at this time, but after all, he can't make a promise that can't be kept - no matter how beautiful the love words are, they must be true.

He could only hold Ye Xiu's hand, tightly.

After leaving Ye Xiu, carrying out the mission, and reporting back to Gallifrey, he didn't go anywhere else. He packed a copy of Xingmang and returned to Library Xing, wandering among the bookshelves at a slow pace.He wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to see Ye Xiu. Even though this planet was astonishingly huge, it would be wishful thinking to unexpectedly meet people he knew in the forest of books, but the fixed timeline would automatically bring them together , Just like the attraction between the two poles, like the two poles, eventually one south and one north can no longer get close to each other.

It's just that Zhou Zekai didn't expect that before he met Ye Xiu, he would meet another person first.

Huang Shaotian.

Although he had known Huang Shaotian for a long time, Zhou Zekai had only seen Huang Shaotian's face on his face once, at the meeting that decided the life and death of the universe.

Seeing Zhou Zekai, Huang Shaotian was also surprised for a moment before reacting, and asked Zhou Zekai's age like the older Su Mucheng.

"870... Ah yes." Huang Shaotian shrugged his shoulders, "It's no wonder, you and Ye Xiu are still meeting now, you look much better like this." He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You now At this age, it will be the battle to defend the earth, right? I remember that I was 880 when I took this task, and you are the same age as me... probably these days, do you remember at that time—" He stopped suddenly, and said bluntly Changing the topic, "I'm here to borrow a book on speeches-hey, what the hell are you looking like! I'm very self-aware, okay?! I'm good at speaking, maybe speaking and being able to speak are two different things. ? There is a time limit when running for the chairman of the parliament!"

"...President of the Council?"

"That's right." Huang Shaotian pulled out a copy of "Speech and Eloquence", "After the meeting—you know which meeting I'm talking about, in short, the universe was saved, and the chairman of the council didn't know what he had realized, anyway, he suddenly called He submitted a resignation report. Now he is still in his post because there is no successor, and he will retire after the next parliamentary leader is elected. As for the candidates, all the people who participated in the meeting."

Zhou Zekai was taken aback for a moment: "Me too?"

"Of course, you too. You have to be okay! The details of that meeting have been made public. The person who saved the universe is your legal partner, and the last solution is also your proposal. Except for the oldest Yes, you are the most vocal, maybe you will become the youngest chairman of the council in the history of Garri Frey. Of course Su Mucheng is also a candidate, but she abstained." Huang Shaotian sighed, "She doesn't want to vote. Like you, you knew about that meeting when you were more than 400 years old, and you have more than 7000 years to digest it. She just went through that, and it will take time."

"To be honest, I also think it's quite boring..." Huang Shaotian took another copy of "The Art of Language", "What do you think you can do if you become the president of the council? The universe doesn't need us to save it anymore, we don't need us anymore Save yourself."

Zhou Zekai remained silent.

"...By the way, what are you doing here?" Huang Shaocai remembered to ask this after taking more than a dozen books.

"Wait for Ye Xiu."

"Are you two meeting here? Is he coming soon? Not to mention I want to take a look at him..." After saying this, Huang Shaotian immediately overturned it, "Forget it, I'm leaving— - See you in the Earth Defense War - I'll go talk to Wenzhou, talking to you really suffocates me."

Zhou Zekai stood where he was, looking at the rows of books on language skills on the bookshelf, unable to recover for a long time.

Until a slightly surprised voice rang in my ears.

"Xiao Zhou?"

"...Ye Xiu." Zhou Zekai smiled the moment he turned his head.

"You are so amazing, let me go... Today I went to the wrong teleportation point and went to the wrong area. I didn't expect you to find me after this - tell me honestly, does the key you gave me also have a location function? "

"No." Zhou Zekai shook his head.

"Really not?"

"Ah."

"I see, you must have gone to the future to peek at the library's surveillance system... Hey, what are you holding in your hand?" Ye Xiu saw the beautifully packaged paper box with sharp eyes.

Zhou Zekai handed over the box: "Xingmang."

"Let me see... Isn't this a small cake? It's quite unique, it looks like it's sprinkled with diamond shavings, is it really edible?"

Zhou Zekai nodded: "Of course."

After tasting one, Ye Xiu smacked his mouth twice: "...it's delicious, where did you buy it?"

"Carrie Frey." Zhou Zekai still smiled, the arc remained unchanged, "I like it, I will bring it for you next time."
