【Zhou Ye】The Foot of Time

Chapter 83

In the end, they went to Beijing 35 years later, not to experience the future, but to see Ye Xiu's family.

Because Lord Grim threw him back too early, Ye Xiu couldn't appear in front of his family at all.It is impossible for him to go to greet the young parents and call him Mom and Dad, and it is not appropriate to approach them by other names. Come out and have a look, hey!Why does the child look the same as our friend?This matter can make a big fuss.

In fact, this is a long way to go. You must know that Ye Xiu, who learned to calculate space coordinates, was in the year, and his parents were not born yet!

That is to say, Ye Xiu really hasn't seen his family in more than 100 years.

"...I still remember that schoolbag." Ye Xiu pointed forward, "My mother gave me and Ye Qiu elementary school gifts, one for each of us. I was always happy when I got it, but I lost it within a month. It was broken, and my dad cleaned it up severely, saying that I don’t cherish things, especially the things my mother gave me.”

The two were actually standing not too far away, but outsiders could not see them through the cover of the TARDIS chameleon system.The conditions of the Ye family have always been very good. The house they live in at this time is not the one that Zhou Zekai visited later, but it is enough to show the family's wealth.Although Ye Xiu is sometimes out of tune, he can see a good upbringing from many details. This is indeed due to his family education since he was a child.

Zhou Zekai had seen photos of Ye Xiu at different ages in the Ye family's photo album, and the seven-year-old little Ye Xiu didn't bring much novelty to him.He watched as Ye's mother at the gate of the small yard carried small schoolbags for her two sons, and then took one of them to school with Ye's father.The twin brothers all looked very well-behaved when they listened to what their mother said to pay attention to.

The family of four walked away, but neither of them followed.

Ye Xiu took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette, and before he reached for the lighter, Zhou Zekai lit it for him.

"In order to go home early, I have to learn to calculate time coordinates." Ye Xiu smiled at Zhou Zekai, "Do you think it will take another three to forty years?"

"enough."

"Well, I was too young when I ran away from home, and now I have this appearance. Even if I want to go home, I have to wait until I'm about 25 years old. And in the future, if they find that I won't grow old..." Ye Xiu ruthlessly He took a deep breath, frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "Xiao Zhou, is there any technique that can change appearance like the Zagon people? I know light suits can be used, but that's easy to detect... you say If I can change my appearance all the time, and travel through time and space at will, will I be able to stay with them all the time? And with my younger brother around, I just need to refer to him in terms of appearance."

Zhou Zekai closed Lord Grim's door, took a bag of white sugar and walked to the bridge: "Follow me."

"...Really?" Ye Xiu's eyes lit up.

"Yeah." Zhou Zekai pressed down the wrench, "Go to order."

But an hour later, Ye Xiu saw his 15-year-old self in the mirror.

"... To be honest, I can't even remember what it was like to be 15 years old." Ye Xiu pulled his hair twice, "This black technology is really good, can it really deduce different age groups?"

Zhou Zekai, who provided detailed data, didn't point it out, but just mentioned the precautions: "It's a holographic projection, directly acting on the retina. The body hasn't changed, so be careful not to touch your head."

Ye Xiu took the small bottle containing the capsule and held it tightly in his hand.

"Thank you Xiao Zhou." Ye Xiu's words were full of sincerity and solemnity.

"You don't have to thank me." Zhou Zekai once again responded to the thank you from the man in front of him, pointing to Jun Moxiao behind him, "The day you run away from home?"

"No need." Ye Xiu shook his head, looked at the bottle in his palm and smiled, "When I learn it, I will go home by myself."

——No matter what age, Zhou Zekai's favorite traits in Ye Xiu never changed.

And in this man's eyes, Zhou Zekai finally saw the bud of that hazy emotion.

He knew it was the last time.

Space coordinates are relatively easier to calculate than time coordinates, but Ye Xiu needs a lot of knowledge reserves.He needs to remember all geographical locations, the distribution of galaxies, and the traces of orbits. Only with an overall consciousness can he understand the parts. It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to hold the entire universe in his mind.When Zhou Zekai was around, he would use his watch to project a small universe for him to experience intuitively; if Zhou Zekai wasn't around, Ye Xiu would copy one map after another by himself in his spare time.

Zhou Zekai once thought it was a miracle that Ye Xiu could learn these things, but now it seems that it is actually reasonable.

Ye Xiu had a heavy workload during the day, and he spent all his free time studying, even if he was not old or dead, it was hard to bear it.More than once when Zhou Zekai pushed Lord Grim's door open when he arrived at night, he saw Ye Xiu fell asleep with his head tilted on the table, and the tip of his pen fell on the paper to smudge a large mass of thick ink that could not be melted.

At such times, Zhou Zekai would sit quietly by the side and watch him, watching him for a whole night without getting too tired or too much.

He looked at the face of his favorite person in the silent TARDIS and counted silently. It was not something as complicated as coordinates, but the most basic subtraction——

Now Ye Xiu is 130 years old. From the previous conversation, it can be inferred that he started learning to calculate space-time coordinates at 130 years old. They met for the first time when they were [-] years old. How many years do they have?

Zhou Zekai calculated such a simple calculation over and over without giving up, but the result is that there are still five years left for one to teach and the other to learn, and they still have 30 years of acquaintance, no matter what, there is no way to steal a little time to add it.Oh, in fact, this number is still inflated, after all, it is impossible for them to stick together every minute and every second in the past 30 years.Not to mention that they are just friends now, but when they fell in love, there was often a huge gap between each meeting.

Wouldn't it be a little bit simpler not to know it all?Zhou Zekai recalled in a daze the parting that his lover had not prepared for when he first met Ye Xiu—that knife was much sharper than the file that he sharpened on the tip of his heart every day, but it pierced his heart directly. The blade is still churning in my heart...

He couldn't tell which one was more painful and ruthless.

Don't look for me, I went to hug the dog and cry...
