"Yes, I’m awake." Qin Yize reached out and patted Ling Nan on the shoulder, "Xiao Nan, it’s been a tough journey for you..."
"Big Brother Qin, it wasn’t hard at all, not at all, as long as you’re awake, that’s better than anything." Ling Nan’s voice carried an uncontrollable excitent.
Gu Qiaoqiao then got out of the car. It was already afternoon, and seeing Qin Yize talking with Ling Nan, she finally smiled with relief.
The afternoon sun cast its light on Qin Yize, outlining a distinct silhouette. Though it seed sowhat unreal, it was truly happening.
No matter what, Ah Ze was awake.
That’s the best thing.
Qin Yize stood at the foot of the mountain, looked deeply at the rock wall, and then got into the car. Ling Nan still drove, and the group raced toward the base.
The head of the base was surprised to see Qin Yize get out of the car, his usual stern expression softened.
But he reacted quickly, saluting first and then hugging Qin Yize lightly.
The head patted Qin Yize’s shoulder lightly, "It seems you’re okay, but do you need to check out at a field hospital?"
"No need, I’m fine." Qin Yize then pointed to the two people behind him, "You already know them, right?"
"Of course, let’s go to the cafeteria to eat..."
Qin Yize nodded. He was fine, and Gu Qiaoqiao seed fine too, but Xiao Nan seed hungry.
Everyone headed to the cafeteria.
Although everything looked okay, Gu Qiaoqiao still had Qin Yize eat sothing light, as he hadn’t eaten for days.
It was now the afternoon of January 27th.
Call after call went to the Imperial Capital.
Qin Yize had woken up. Such significant news had to be shared with family and friends at ho.
This should be the best news before the Spring Festival.
Afterward, Qin Yize bid farewell to his comrades at the base, driving with Gu Qiaoqiao and Ling Nan toward the Imperial Capital.
The mood returning was entirely different from when they ca. A bright smile always hung on Gu Qiaoqiao’s face.
Qin Yize and Ling Nan took turns driving, and since they weren’t in such a hurry this ti, they stayed in hotels at night instead of sleeping outdoors.
And like that, on a late January evening, the three of them arrived at the Imperial Capital.
This ti, they all went to the Gu Garden.
First, Gu Garden was the largest, and second, everyone wanted to see Qin Yize imdiately.
That day, Gu Garden was brightly lit, both inside and outside, full of joy and laughter.
Qin Yize brought Qiaoqiao back to their ho in the courtyard.
Finally, the night quieted down, and the young couple enjoyed an indescribable happiness together.
The next day, a refreshed Qin Yize made breakfast for Qiaoqiao, who was still in bed, then drove to the Imperial Capital University research institute.
From Gu Qiaoqiao, he learned that Chang Qing would not be going ho for the New Year; he was at the institute working on a new project with so senior ntors.
Although Chang Qing was young, those senior ntors never underestimated him.
With Chang Qing’s relationship with the Gu Family, so senior academicians who were close to the Old Patriarch looked after him well.
So, Chang Qing was living well there.
He had grown taller, standing in front of Qin Yize like bamboo after the rain. His eyes quickly scanned around and, noticing that Sister Qiaoqiao wasn’t there, his gaze dimd a bit. However, he still politely asked, "Big Brother Qin, is there sothing you need from ?"
"No, just wanted to chat with you..." Qin Yize looked into Chang Qing’s eyes without giving away his emotions. These weren’t the eyes that had seen the vicissitudes of life, slightly tinged with madness. At this mont, Chang Qing’s eyes were pure, still holding a bit of youthful innocence.
Qin Yize was relieved, patting Chang Qing’s shoulder, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he said boldly, "I’ve arranged for you to take so ti off. It’s said that there’s a noodle shop here that’s especially good. Let’s talk while we eat..."
"Big Brother Qin, I..." Chang Qing hesitated. Though not unfamiliar with Qin Yize, they had never been alone together. Every ti, Sister Qiaoqiao was there between them.
Thinking of Qiaoqiao, Chang Qing’s eyes dimd again.
But at the sa ti, there was a hint of confusion in his eyes. Last night he dread, dreamt that in the sumr of 1989, sothing happened to his Sister Qiaoqiao...
After waking up, he was drenched in sweat and too scared to fall asleep again.
Everything in the dream was too real, real to the point that it felt as if he had personally experienced it.
Even now, the pain and despair of permanently losing Sister Qiaoqiao were deeply buried in the depths of his heart.
Yet at the sa ti, he felt it couldn’t be possible, because the ti and place didn’t match.
The people were the sa, but their experiences were very different.
It was as if the sa actors were performing a different story.
At the end of the dream, he saw another version of himself.
But it was himself from a few years later.
Full of vicissitudes, seemingly much older.
That version of him stood on a triangular platform floating in the air, with a spaceship-like space behind the platform—a space that shocked him.
Because that might be a space-ti black hole.
The other him shouted many things at him, many, many things, but he only rembered one sentence: use the formula to release him from the space-ti constraint.
Because he was trapped.
Even now, his mind was still sowhat confused.
What exactly was going on?
Qin Yize saw Chang Qing hesitating there, his eyebrows moved slightly, and with a probing look at Chang Qing, he slowly said, "Let’s go, accompany Big Brother Qin to have sothing to eat..."
Only then did Chang Qing co back to his senses, no longer hesitating, and instead happily took Qin Yize to a noodle shop.
That’s right, the na was simply "Noodle Shop".
Chang Qing paid for the noodles, and Qin Yize made no objections, starting to eat naturally.
Indeed, the taste was quite good, worthy of being an old shop with a century-old history.
Next ti, there should be an opportunity to bring Qiaoqiao here to try it out.
At that mont, Chang Qing felt heavily burdened, but he couldn’t tell anyone, not even Sister Qiaoqiao.
After all, it was sothing that hadn’t happened, and the ti and place were incorrect.
Yet in his heart, he couldn’t let it go.
Seeing Chang Qing like this, Qin Yize couldn’t help but frown slightly, feeling sothing was off with this kid.
His expression was sowhat dazed, as if...
A sudden and dreadful thought arose in Qin Yize’s mind—could it be that this Chang Qing had t the other Chang Qing through ti travel?
Qin Yize’s heart sank. Was that possible?
His understanding of this subject was limited. Could two people of different ages actually appear in the sa space-ti at the sa ti and even et face to face?
But it seed not that simple.
Qin Yize even thought of indirectly asking him.
