The Spirit World

Chapter 748: Engraved Years
[The sky you look up to is the sky of men
The boy who once dreamed under the starry sky
I don't know how high the sky is, I don't know how far the sea is
But I swear to take you to the ends of the earth
Irresponsible oath, young and frivolous me
Lost in the darkness only to discover one's own fragility
Looking at your red eyes from crying, thinking about the home far away

The stars in the sky please light the light of hope for me

The stars light up my door
Help lost children find their way back
The stars light up my future
Warm the children's hearts with a little light】

A new memory appeared in Chang Yufeng's mind.

Maybe there will be many more in the future. If you are willing to accept, I will tell you now.

Once upon a time, there was a pair of childhood sweethearts who lived together in this big world. They had the same background that people didn’t want to mention. However, they were too young and did not understand what a person should have when he is born.

Perhaps because of this, when they see other people's big hands holding small hands, they always look at the people around them, as if no pair of big hands belongs to them.

The boy is very naughty and always fails to notice the girl's sadness. Or maybe it's because girls are always sensitive and delicate, while boys are always thick-skinned and find it difficult to understand the girl's silent crying.

But the girl is very small, and when she cries, she always curls up like a little cat. Cats are cute, and girls are cute too, so the boy always treats her as a cat.

He seemed really unable to guess what she was thinking, but he always stood in front of her and said to her: Don't cry, if you cry you won't be as beautiful as the nurse.

She sobbed, looked at the boy with his eyes narrowed, slowly moved his face closer, and kissed him lightly.

It is said that it was because he saw the security guard doing the same thing when the nurse was crying, and the nurse really stopped crying and even smiled.

He didn't see her stop crying, nor did he see her smile. Instead, he saw her crying even louder, and she became flustered.

Humph, come on, women are so troublesome.

He was scolded by his aunt and told not to get close to her again.

He didn't understand at all... He could only look at the cat-like girl from afar, and she also looked at him with her big eyes.

He really didn't understand why every time he saw her, she could always see him.

Women are all like cat children.

He no longer associated with her because he had had enough of his aunt's scolding. It was obviously those people who pointed at him and called him a motherless child, so he beat them!
Outnumbered and outnumbered, they still won! How impressive! Why did the aunt have to apologize herself?

It was obvious that the dog wanted to bite people, so he went forward and kicked the dog, causing it to run away. Why should this crime be put on him?

Obviously, I went to the kitchen to get an apple because I wanted one for Christmas...

Why don't bad kids have apples?

Why am I the bad kid...

Why is it that she always gets praised, and always gets praised by the aunt for being cute and sensible? If I were standing in front of the aunt, she would only say sternly, "You must be up to something bad..."

Humph! You guys are always like this, bullying me...

In that short period of time, the girl disappeared. He could see the person at a glance, but he couldn't find her no matter how hard he looked. The girl's name on the list was also crossed out with two red lines.

He asked his aunt.

Auntie! That! That!

Hmm...what's her name...

Since that time, I almost forgot her name...

"You're talking about Lin'er..." He needed to look up at the aunt's face. The black and white face looked like a ghost with sharp teeth under the light. She snorted and screamed miserably: "Lin'er is a good girl, and was taken away by a good uncle and a good aunt! Anyway, no one will ever adopt you! Just wait to go to the elementary school here! Stupid thing. This is the fate of being naughty!"

The girl does not belong to the boy, but at that moment, he felt the contrast between himself and the girl became so strong that he felt like he had lost the girl.

The cat-like girl disappeared from my memory bit by bit.

He began to behave really well - he stopped playing around because he had lost the pair of eyes that always looked at him.

Those eyes were so beautiful, just like... the stars in the night... blinking, as if they were going far away... and then getting closer... and then no longer appearing in my dreams.

"You are his son, that's right..." said the old lady who called herself grandma, "But I don't want you to be her son... You can come back, but don't even think about getting a penny from the Ning family... We will pay for all your expenses before you go to college, and don't even think about anything else."

The old woman the boy called grandma was leaning on a cane and humming like a man, as if the old woman would die of anger if her mother was mentioned.

He never saw his grandmother again, nor his father, let alone the mother who brought him into this world.

I heard that they went to a very far place and would never come back forever.

That girl shouldn't have gone very far...

He began to study seriously and began to truly understand the world.

The street scenes full of bright lights and wine, and those couples hugging each other, will they inadvertently bring a life into this world?

Can that roaring vehicle outrun time? Can it reach the past and allow him to see his parents’ eyes?

He didn't know why the street lights were always dim. It might be because there were no stars in the dark night. Nights like this would remain dark for several years.

He was no longer afraid of nights without lights...nor of days without smiles.

He seemed to have rarely smiled. From his past to the future, he always had a calm look on his face. The calm world always carried a smell of sadness.

Sad culture cannot invade his world, because when he has learned about this world, all that is left is a living lonely ghost.

This ghost is so lonely that it needs to be described as lonely.

But even on the most boring days, he could still find some fun to relieve his boredom.

Watching the rain falling, no two drops are exactly the same size, just like no two snowflakes are exactly the same.

Watch the flowers bloom on the branches and then wither in a flash.

Watching the moon climbing up the distant hillside, I was in a trance, and it really came to the top of my head, leaving the mortal world behind.

He began to search, looking for his mother and all the little things that she had left for him.

All that love seemed so insignificant, and it even made him doubt all the time that his parents were not ready to live out their lives.

Prepare to embrace his life.

He began to slowly search for those eyes.

In the vast crowd, he could always see those tired eyes at a glance, none of which were as clear as hers.

He knew the meaning of kissing a girl on the face, or maybe it didn't mean anything. He was no longer a child, he knew about sex, and he could understand the word love.

However, he had no distractions and only thought about that girl. It was not because of love or the kiss, but because he no longer understood the meaning of life and where his future lay.

He was confused, like a lost kitten, and needed another dear cat to tell him not to be confused anymore.

My dear friend.

Don't be confused.

He searched, but always found no future.

"Brother Yufeng..." Lin'er watched Chang Yufeng put away his sword in the rain, and she saw the fatigue in his eyes.

He might, just maybe, be tired.

She could recognize Chang Yufeng's kingly appearance at a glance, not the little boy.

"What's wrong?" Chang Yufeng put away his sword. Like the dissipation of starlight, his kingly image slowly turned into a point of light, leaving only a tiny, child-like boy.

He was too calm, not like the joy of a child. Nothing... the rain was too heavy... I thought..." She smiled softly, her dimples were like a cat's, and her smile was cute: "Do you want to hide from the rain?"

"Hey... do you want to hide from the rain together?"

She held an umbrella and came to his side quietly.

He looked at the rain in the sky that separated him, and looked up in surprise. The white umbrella blocked the falling rain. The owner of the umbrella was carrying a school bag on one shoulder and smiled softly: "You are... Ning Feng, right? Haha, I finally found you."

what?
He looked at the girl with a ponytail, blinking her star-like eyes, squinting her eyes, and leaning towards him.

She complained a little, cute and playful: "What? You didn't recognize me? I recognized you at first sight~"

She blinked her eyes, and she was no longer quiet. Instead, she was like a cat that had found a fish, jumping around and spinning happily.

"Lin..."

He whispered her name.

He would never forget her name again.

Just like she would never forget his name.

"Chen Lin~ My name is Chen Lin now~ and we go to the same school~"

She found him first.

It was always she who found him first, and then with unparalleled affection.

Perhaps it was because of friendship, or perhaps it was because of the surprise, his calm was broken. However, as a lonely cat, he became at a loss when he met his companions.

He hasn't felt this way in a long time.

It was like there was an itchy lump deep in his heart, and then a person appeared, like a well-behaved cat, and scratched his heart, making him no longer feel depressed.

"You're still the same..." She looked at the rain and handed the umbrella to him.

"What?" He wondered again and held the umbrella tightly.

It's like being able to grasp the time that has passed without her.

She was looking at the sky in the rain. The noisy raindrops blocked the stars that were about to come out. Perhaps only in this way would the sky not be too bright, making her face so natural and beautiful.

When she was thinking, her eyes looked up, the corners of her mouth also looked up, and the dimple slowly began to smile.

"You're like a little brat...you don't even have an umbrella...right?"

She turned her face to the side, the hair flowing down her temples was as crystal clear as raindrops, and the thin and protruding collarbone on her white neck released all the beauty in the world like a flower.

"The people who entered the canyon first... seem to be... dead..." Lin'er walked beside him, looking at the bloodstains on the ground with some reluctance, and looked at Chang Yufeng's profile. The white hair on his temples wrote his life on his face.

But he still has the face of a child.

"We found blood in the front... and then..."

The bodies of the other three children of the winner had long been lost.

K dealt with them...

but why……

"Are you okay?" Chang Yufeng asked, slowly looking at Lin'er. Lin'er's face was covered with crystal raindrops and a slight redness from jogging.

Lin'er looked at his starry black eyes and smiled softly.

"I'm fine... You asked us to hide, so of course we hid~"

"Are you okay...what's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

She looked at his blank eyes and touched her face.

He looked at her beauty and was actually a little dazed. He once, without knowing his own limitations, kissed the girl on the cheek.

She is the most precious treasure from heaven, who has come to earth.

"No...it's okay..." He lowered his head, squinted his eyes, turned his head, blew a breath, and watched the rain begin to fall. It seemed that this beauty was falling drop by drop, and the cat finally came to the side of the lonely cat.

"Which class are you from? How come I've never seen you before..."

"This is the Arts Class 1... You're a science major, right?"

She glanced at her watch and laughed softly, "I'm not good at math, there's nothing I can do about it. Besides, no matter what, I don't think math, physics, and chemistry are suitable for me... I can't figure it out... I'm too stupid..."

She was talking about herself as if she was saying that there were no such beautiful flaws.

"I see that you boys are all good at academics... But, your grades don't seem good. Are you slacking off? I heard from them that when you were admitted, you were several grades ahead of me~"

"Really..." Of course he knew.

In that miserable childhood, I was quieter and calmer than other children of the same age, and I didn’t know the importance of learning.

There is nothing else on my mind.

But the older I get, the more things I have in my heart, and the more restless I become.

"You can't do that~"

She looked at the tall man.

She could see his thin face.

The loneliness and solitude are written on his face.

"Study hard and make progress every day! Learning is the most important thing."

She was not as well behaved as usual.

Perhaps she just knew that this is what she should do at this time, that is, study hard. At this age, she needs to study hard.

What I was thinking about, what I lost, what I forgot, I didn’t have time to think about it, I had to grow up...

She never seems to be confused, never timid, and never forgetful.

"Hmm..." He was not a talkative person. Perhaps it was because no one could get close to him, and he didn't want to be close to others.

And then he left this world without the moon.

"Okay... I'm leaving..."

She waved her hand slowly and smiled at the boy who could never guess what she was thinking.

"See you at school. Oh no, see you tomorrow."

She opened another black umbrella and ran towards a future that had never existed.

The white umbrella twirled in his hand.

Like tree rings, recording the years.
