Yu Ke chose to rent a house in a place he was familiar with and lived first. He wanted to try and see if he could meet the boy in that place again, but to his disappointment, although he chose that time every time he went to that alley, but every time he came out, it was a familiar scenery. The events of that day were like a dream.
But in the clear sky, who would have such a clear dream, not to mention, when he was standing at the entrance of the alley, he also took out the wrapping paper of the big white rabbit toffee from his trouser pocket.
After a delay of about a month, Yu Ke had no money left, and he was still studying. If he was just escaping, his future will only be ruined.
He still decided to go back. After this short but long month, his mood was much calmer, and he was less frightened when he saw Fang Chuan’s mother again.
In front of Fang Chuan and his future, he still chose himself. There’s nothing wrong with being selfish. Anyway, didn’t Fang Chuan’s mother torment him like this to protect her beloved child? The mother’s debt was repaid. Since she took action like this, he could do what she said was greedy and shameless.
After being in love for nearly a year, he understood Fang Chuan’s character the best, and what words could hurt Fang Chuan, he couldn’t be surer.
When he did such an act, he had a little regret in his heart, but it was more pleasure.
Seeing the expression of pain on the face similar to Fang’s mother, watching Fang’s mother suffering for her son, he felt a wonderful sense of pleasure.
Don’t say that Fang Chuan was innocent. If he was really innocent, then guard yourself and don’t fall in love with the so-called inferior people like them. Since he couldn’t afford it, he would only beg him bitterly. To Yu Ke, it was like a piece of trash.
When that child was eight years old, he knew how to assume and take responsibility, and was much stronger than both him and Fang Chuan.
Yu Ke didn’t have such a powerful parent who shielded him from the wind and rain. In order not to be hurt, he chose to wear a thick shell and erect a wall of roses around his heart, which looked touching, but actually had thorns.
Yu Ke’s original plan was to focus on design, after all, he really liked it. But art obviously had a hard time reaching that child
Although he spent a long time with the other party, it was only ten days in total. He knew the other party’s name and had seen the other party’s appearance when he grew up, but because of various restrictions, he only remembered the other party’s name and identity, about other things, he knew nothing.
But he always believed that they could still meet. If not, why did God let them meet?
It may be his destiny to change the fate of the other party’s death at a young age. But fate could also be changed by human beings. Art was too difficult to get ahead. Maybe five years, ten years, or when the child died and he was still be a little shrimp with no name.
He didn’t want to see such a situation, and after weighing it again and again, he gave up what he liked, first in finance, then changed his major, and chose scientific research that he never thought would be involved.
Just because when he was studying abroad, he casually listened to the project about the time and space transition leaked by the senior.
For human beings, they had always wanted to cross time and space. As early as hundreds of years ago, there were countless sci-fi blockbusters related to teleportation.
In their era, technology had been very advanced, and it was expected that this project would be achieved within the next ten years, but the achievement of a major project may require ten or even decades of experiments.
At that time, he had a bold idea in his mind, join the experimental group, be good enough, and then take the initiative to ask himself to be the experimental subject.
Yu Ke was a very smart person, otherwise he would not have achieved the third best grade in the province in the middle school entrance examination by virtue of his own ability when he lost his parents and had such a bad life.
Because the school emphasized science over literature, when he was taking the placement test in the first semester of high school, the head teacher and school leaders specially asked him to do all kinds of ideological work and let him choose science.
It was a matter of human beings, and there were no bad things like Fang Chuan’s mother abroad. Yu Ke went for the goal he wanted, and finally entered the scientific research institute he wanted to enter at the age of 24.
Compared to those 16- or 17-year-old geniuses, he may not be so good, but he had an obsession in his heart, and his personality had been tempered to be more mature and stable, and in the end, he really did what he wished.
People had mixed into the country. To be precise, it was much easier to find a person for an institution that the world valued.
He easily found the person he was looking for, knew the other person’s name, family background, and the other person’s situation.
What the time-space jump could change was time, not his body. There could only be one he in the same time and space.
And because of technical limitations, his could only stay in that time and space for a short time.
He also wanted to use the institute’s project to change the fate of his biological parents. When they got into a car accident, he was still very young, probably in elementary school.
It was because of the work that his parents had done. Even if he clamored for them not to leave, when his will disappeared, his original self-returned to his body and as a child, he would be successfully persuaded by his parents.
Such a short time was simply not enough to explain many things.
When the accident happened to the child in his memory, he should have been twenty-seven years old, about the same age as him. If he could be by the other side at that time, he would definitely be able to save the tragedy.
Yu Ke was not great, because there were so many people in the world who were destined to die, he couldn’t save everyone, he couldn’t save them, but that child was his obsession.
He was the first and only person to show him kindness in his darkest days.
At that time, the oppression of Fang Chuan’s mother made the immature Fang Chuan chose to escape. Although the school leaders said it was a pity, they also chose to give up him mercilessly on the capital side.
He was originally withdrawn, and when he was studying, he could even be said to be the flower of Gaoling, which was far less smooth than the one in the university.
Because of his personality, he had almost no friends in the high school where almost everyone was rich. As for his uncle and aunt, after knowing that he was gay, they looked at him like a contagious virus, for fear that he would damage their children.
But that child was different. Even if the other party gave only a normal candy, to him at the time, it was like a light.
He didn’t have any other messy feelings for the child, he just hoped that the other party could survive well.
With such determination and no family members, he signed an agreement with the institute and embarked on a long journey.
Humans have to pay a very cruel price when they want to violate the laws of time and space, and the process was more difficult than he thought.
Instead of being successful in the first place, he witnessed the death of that child time and time again.
This was also one of the reasons why the institute refused to let him participate in saving his parents at the beginning. There was a saying in China that the eighteenth level of hell was to make prisoners repeat the most painful things they encountered in their lifetimes, and experience the life and death of their relatives over and over again. Obviously, it was very easy break down.
The Lu Yi he knew was a person with strong vigilance, but all he knew was that the other party would be killed by a car one day, and the person who killed Lu Yi would be his enemy.
Because that was clearly a deliberate murder. If he could have stayed longer that day, he would have known the truth.
With this thought in mind, he worked hard little by little, shifting the story line little by little.
Finally, at a certain point in time and space, he and Lu Yi, who chose art, had a wonderful intersection.
At the moment of the car accident, he became that Yu Ke, and when it was time to make a choice, he overcame the natural reaction of his body to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and chose to push Lu Yi away and sacrificed himself.
This behavior seemed stupid, and it took less than ten minutes for the two to meet, but seeing Lu Yi’s shocked expression at the time, his heart was happy.
When the story was finished, the smart and handsome man in his family showed a somewhat dazed expression. Obviously, he still hadn’t quite figured out the messy time-space travel principles, let alone why he could put the pieces of Yu Ke´s soul together.
“That’s just because of my outstanding contribution, a small benefit provided by the research institute. Don’t look at me so young, but in fact, that project has been researched for several decades.” Because he was an experimenter, his soul had been tempered to be extremely tough, to be able to participate in another project.
There was nothing wrong with him being a real old man.
Lu Yi didn’t really care whether the other party was an old man or not. They had already experienced several worlds. If you count the total length of all the worlds, the two of them should be old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years.
Lu Yi said: “I’m very happy that there will be such a person in this world who will work hard to save my life.”
Thinking of the past, he could forgive Yu Ke for all his scheming.
Yu Ke’s expression also softened: “I’m really happy, no matter which world you are in, you obviously forgot everything, but you will still be with me.”
Regardless of their status, they kept repeating the process of falling in love, which made him realize more and more how good a person Lu Yi was.
The sun shone in from the window, and Yu Ke, who was bathed in the sun, hugged the man’s waist tightly, and his low voice sounded: “I think you are probably my destiny.”
Lu Yi pressed his forehead: “That’s the luckiest thing in the world.”
