When Chen Yue called Huang Dan, he had already set off. He waited in the car after he arrived at the office.

Huang Dan is used to planning everything in advance. He calculates that a meeting will last fifteen minutes, and he will make sure that everything is discussed clearly within that time, which will not take more than a minute.

When the time came, Huang Dan gave a few instructions to his assistant, took his coat and walked out of the office. He looked at the flying snow and was about to dive in, but the next second he saw Chen Yue get out of the car not far away and run towards him with an umbrella.

Huang Dan thought of the sports competition in his freshman year of high school, the unity and shared honor on the playground, and the teenager who rushed towards him after crossing the finish line. When he came to his senses, he had already walked down the stairs and was walking quickly towards the man with the umbrella.

Chen Yue held the umbrella over Huang Dan’s head and asked him to walk inside. “Why didn’t you wait for me? You had to run down by yourself. Look at you, your hair and clothes are all wet.”

Huang Dan said it was okay, “I called Song Min, but he didn’t answer.”

Chen Yue took him to the parking lot, “It’s snowing so heavily, he’s not at home or anywhere else to go. I remember you told me that he has no job and no friends.”

Huang Dan said, “What I saw and understood is indeed that, but I don’t know how many things I can’t see or understand.”

“An important clue has been found. Everything will be clear, including your background. ”

Chen Yue opened the car door and let Huang Dan sit in. He closed the car door and quickly walked around to the other side and bent down to sit on the driver’s seat, “Don’t be dazed. Fasten your seat belt. We’re going back now.”

Huang Dan fastened his seat belt. He took out his cell phone and called his home landline. No one answered. He called Song Min’s cell phone again, but got the same result, “Did something happen?”

Chen Yue sneered, “I just found out his mission information and he got into trouble? Is there such a coincidence?”

Huang Dan asked, “Does anyone else know that you were looking through the records?”

He was wondering whether the news of this matter had leaked out. Song Min knew that he and Chen Yue had both been missionaries, and also knew about Chen Yue’s current part-time job. He couldn’t think of a countermeasure, so he didn’t answer the phone?

Chen Yue paid attention to the road conditions and said lightly, “It won’t be discovered by the higher-ups for the time being. Even if it is discovered, I have my reason to do that.”

Huang Dan said, “There won’t be any accidents?”

Chen Yue blinked at him, “Don’t be afraid, we can just act according to the situation.”

Huang Dan raised his eyebrows. The changes that fourteen years have brought to everyone are undoubtedly huge, not only in appearance, wealth, life, experience, but also in mentality.

If the younger Chen Yue encountered the current situation, he would definitely panic and feel helpless. But now he is calm and composed. The bigger the situation, the more he shows a steady side that makes people feel at ease.

Huang Dan knew in his heart that the experiences of these years had made Chen Yue grow and become very strong. Only when facing him would he reveal a relatively pure side of himself, if happy then happy, nervous then nervous, he would not pretend or cover up. That was something reserved for him and had not been eroded by the secular world.

Chen Yue held Huang Dan’s hand on his leg and squeezed it, then scratched it with his fingertips, “Why aren’t you talking?”

Huang Dan said, “I was wondering if Song Min’s mission might be related to me?”

Chen Yue said, “It’s a possibility.”

Huang Dan frowned and said, “Then what do you think his mission is? Raising me up? But I will be thirty in just over a month. His mission must have been completed long ago, right? If that’s not his mission, then what is it?”

Chen Yue snorted and laughed, “It’s hard to say. Song Min is not a simple man, he is very cunning. He is your housekeeper on the surface, but he has very long hands and feet. When you didn’t live on campus, I would follow you every night after evening self-study. One day I found him following me, but I was a hooligan at that time, so it’s understandable that he was afraid that I would harm you.”

“Also, I was a coward in high school. I went to see you after I dropped out of school. I hid in the corner and looked at the window of your room like I usually do. I never thought of going up to find you or stopping you on the way to school. Song Min said that you and I were not from the same world. He also said that if I wanted you to be well, I should leave and never get close to you.”

Huang Dan was stunned, “You didn’t mention it to me.”

Chen Yue glanced at him and said, “I just made you like me and want to be with me. I still feel like I’m dreaming. You have to let me slow down. There are so many things that happened in the past ten years. I can’t finish talking about them all at once.”

Huang Dan’s eyebrows were furrowed.

Chen Yue smiled and said, “Song Min is right. You and I are indeed not from the same world. Liu Feng also said this. You see that you have good grades, a good family background, and a good temperament. I only have an attractive face, but I am a stubborn person. If I like someone, I will like them till the end and won’t change it halfway.”

The smile on his face became a little more proud, “Whether it’s high school, college, or work, there are many people chasing you. Song Min didn’t warn anyone when he saw one. In his opinion, I am different from those who are pursuing you. I have the highest chance of winning, so he is so wary of me, don’t you think?”

“Um.”

A thought flashed through Huang Dan’s mind. Maybe he went back to the past and made some changes when facing Chen Yue. Song Min noticed it and that’s why he noticed Chen Yue.

After all, that was the real past and is directly related to the future.

Chen Yue turned the steering wheel and said, “There’s a cigarette in the pocket on your side. Can you help me get it? I’ll take a couple of puffs to satisfy my craving.”

Huang Dan put his hand into Chen Yue’s coat pocket. He touched a cigarette case, a lighter, and a five-pointed star, “Why are you still keeping this?”

Chen Yue said he was used to it, “This is my amulet. When I confirm that I am not dreaming about you, I will put it in the safe.”

It’s really not his fault. He had been holding on to those few pitiful memories for fourteen years, and suddenly he got it. Not only did the other party agree to go back to the castle with him, but also took the initiative to say that he wanted to marry him. Happiness was overwhelming him. During these few short days, he was completely dazed. As soon as he woke up, he would immediately look for evidence to convince himself that this was a dream come true, and not a dream within a dream.

Chen Yue has had dreams within dreams more than once. The feeling of loss after waking up would make him suffer for a period of time. He could only endure it alone. No one could understand him, and he dared not let others know.

Huang Dan looked at the five-pointed star and said, “I can’t fold it.”

“If you can’t do it, then you can’t do it. I can do it. Ropes, lucky stars, paper cranes, there’s nothing I can’t do.”

Chen Yue joked, “I often think that if I go bankrupt one day, with my skills, I can still go out and set up a stall to sell those gizmos.”

Huang Dan could hear the sadness in this. He put a cigarette in Chen Yue’s mouth and lit it for him with a lighter, “It’s hard to quit smoking. Please bring some mints with you next time you go out.”

Chen Yue took a puff of his cigarette and said, “I only like to eat White Rabbit candy. I don’t like mint ones.”

After he went abroad, he had the habit of eating white rabbits. He would eat one every day. He knew that it would be more painful to think of someone when he see the thing, but he just couldn’t quit. It’s like smoking, it’s addictive.

Huang Dan thought for a moment and said, “White Rabbit won’t work. How about a piece of chewing gum?”

Chen Yue looked at him sideways and teased, “Actually, none of the methods mentioned on the Internet will work for me. You have to say something harsh to me, such as saying that if I don’t quit smoking, you won’t live with me. Once you say that, I promise to obey you obediently.”

Huang Dan repeated the second half of the sentence.

Chen Yue hurriedly put out his cigarette and said, “Baby, don’t. I was joking just now.”

Huang Dan said, “I took it seriously.”

Chen Yue，“……”

Huang Dan stopped teasing him, “Quitting smoking is a long process, take your time, I will supervise you.” Even though he knew that the other party had never succeeded before, he would still try hard.

Chen Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and he cursed in his heart, damn, he almost had a heart attack, people can’t show off like that.

The snow has not covered the entire city yet and does not affect travel. There were many vehicles on the road and some sections were very congested. Driving forward with a lot of noise can easily lead to conflicts. The more this happens, the more people should not be impatient and should calm down and drive slowly.

Some kept honking their horns, some lowered their windows and shouted, and some threw cigarette butts outside. Every action revealed their inner anxiety.

Every time Chen Yue returned to China and saw Huang Dan, he would smoke one cigarette after another when he was stuck in traffic, forcing himself to stay calm. If he encountered a traffic accident and had to wait for the traffic police to clear the traffic, it would take at least an hour or at most half a day, which could drive him crazy and he would wish he could grow a pair of wings on his back.

Things are different now, people are around and within reach.

《Simple Love》 was playing in the car. After listening to it for more than ten years, Chen Yue still didn’t get tired of it. Before he met Huang Dan, he thought he was a person with short-lived enthusiasm. Later he realized that he was wrong and that he was a loyal person.

Huang Dan’s cell phone rang. It was Song Min. He asked Chen Yue to turn off the music, “Hello.”

Song Min said, “Master, are you looking for me?”

Huang Dan hummed. He didn’t ask why Song Min didn’t answer the phone or where he went. He just said, “I’m on my way back and I have something to talk to you. Don’t go out and wait for me at home.”

The voice was calm as always, nothing unusual could be heard.

Song Min didn’t ask what it was about. He said okay, “Then be careful on the road.”

Huang Dan hung up the phone and looked at Chen Yue. There was a certain certainty in his tone, “Song Min knows.”

Chen Yue was jealous, “Song Min only said two sentences to you, ‘Master, you are looking for me’ and ‘Be careful on the road’, and you can guess what he is thinking?”

Huang Dan was a little speechless, “He raised me up. After spending a long time together, people can sense something from each other’s breath.”

Chen Yue clicked his tongue, “Then I am really unfilial. My parents have raised me for decades. Let alone sensing from their breath, even if we were sitting face to face, I still couldn’t guess what they were thinking.”

Huang Dan，“……”

Chen Yue stretched out his hand to rub Huang Dan’s head, pursed his lips and smiled, “If Song Min is willing, I will support him as my father-in-law and find him a house facing the sea with spring flowers blooming so that he can enjoy his old age. ”

It was more than forty minutes later when they reached home. Huang Dan walked in and saw two pairs of slippers on the ground. Song Min knew that Chen Yue had also followed.

Before getting out of the car, Huang Dan discussed it with Chen Yue, and Chen Yue would be one to clarify the matter.

Chen Yue changed his shoes and began to narrate the cause and effect of everything without even drinking a sip of water, starting from his death in a car accident last year, to traveling through time to perform a mission, being reborn, guarding the main system domain, and then to Huang Dan inexplicably traveling through time in the community when he came back from work last Friday night, and continuing to the day of the class reunion, a total of eight times, the last time being a return to the past, and the fact that he and the other party entered and exited the mission world at the same time.

During the whole process, Chen Yue’s speaking speed was always lazy, as if he was chatting about family matters, saying things like there would be snow tomorrow, the temperature would continue to drop, and people should wear more clothes. He did not let the atmosphere become dull.

After a pause, Chen Yue glanced at the man with gray hair on his temples and said, “Song Shushu, do you want to tell us your story yourself, or should I do it?”

Song Min’s expression did not change.

Chen Yue and Huang Dan looked at each other, and he continued, “You are one of the first batch of missionaries. Those who were at the same time as you have already completed their missions and returned to their homes. You are the only one who has not returned. The status displayed is on a mission.”

It was not known what nerve these words had touched in Song Min. He exerted force on his hanging fingers, and his fingertips turned slightly white.

Huang Dan could guess what was wrong with Song Min. They were all members of the first batch of missionaries, but everyone else had left and he was the only one still doing the task. Anyone would be aggrieved.

Maybe it also includes his concealment of the time travel, telling Chen Yue, but not the people who raised him for decades.

The person involved will definitely be sad.

Song Min sat down on the wooden chair, leaning his back in a casual arc. His movements were a little stiff, probably because he had been a housekeeper for too long, and the hierarchical concept of superiority and inferiority was ingrained into his bones.

After a while, Song Min spoke. His facial features were cold and hard, as if he was restraining something, “I have said everything that needs to be said. I have nothing to say.”

Chen Yue played with his lighter, “You have it. Your mission, Huang Dan’s background, these are all what you have to say.”

Song Min put his elbows on his knees and held his forehead with both hands. He maintained this slightly decadent and somewhat anxious posture.

Huang Dan did not urge him, and neither did Chen Yue. The two of them peeled an orange in an awkward atmosphere, eating it piece by piece. There was no point in being anxious since your mouth was not on someone else’s face.

After an unknown amount of time, Song Min’s voice sounded, “You have no father or mother.”

Huang Dan pursed his lips, really not? “Everyone has parents, why don’t I?”

Song Min still had the same tone, “You are not a human being.”

Huang Dan was stunned.

Chen Yue sneered, “What is he if he’s not a human being? Don’t fucking tell me that he is the reincarnation of the Great Luo Immortal in the heaven.”

Song Min said two words, “Experimental product.”

The surrounding air flow froze, and the living room was completely silent.

Bang——

The chair behind Chen Yue fell to the ground, and he growled with bulging veins, “Experimental product? Such a big living person, and you are telling me he is an experimental product? Am I blind?”

Huang Dan sat still and didn’t speak.

Song Min said, “Since you don’t believe it, there is no need for me to say anything.”

Chen Yue took out the cigarette case from his pocket. It took him a long time to pull one out and put it in his mouth. The lighter unexpectedly threw a tantrum and refused to cooperate. He pressed it several times but couldn’t fire it. He was so angry that he threw the lighter with great force.

“He can walk, eat, sleep, cry and laugh. How can he be an experiment?”

Song Min asked back, “He can laugh?”

Chen Yue’s pupils shrank and he couldn’t say a word.

Song Min patted the non-existent dust on his pants, “He has all the emotions, but he can’t laugh.”

He added, “The pain-sensing nerves are also different from ordinary people’s. If he scratches the skin, it will hurt so much that he will almost faint.”

“Is this what happens to normal people?”

Chen Yue looked at the person sitting on the chair. He was still the same, not speaking, not moving, and no one knew what he was thinking.

“Where’s the evidence? You just keep talking and saying whatever?”

Song Min folded his legs together, “Once something happens that is beyond your imagination and beyond your cognition, people will escape and deceive themselves. It’s just instinct.”

Chen Yue hated his see-through tone, “Stop talking nonsense and get to the point.”

Song Min said, “What’s the key point? You decide it, or do I decide it?”

Chen Yue’s facial muscles trembled, and he wanted to hit someone. He tugged on the collar of his suit, “Damn, you’re playing tricks on us on purpose, right? If Huang Dan is an experiment, who are you?”

Song Min looked into the void, his thoughts silently remote, and after a while a few words popped out of his mouth.

The living room fell into dead silence again.

Song Min is a scientific researcher, or to be more precise, he is just an assistant.

That day, Song Min followed the professor into the research base as usual to check out the most successful experimental product, which was Huang Dan.

His job was to change Huang Dan’s diapers, cut his fingernails, measure his height, weigh him, observe whether the metabolic data was within the normal range, and then go back to write a report.

Unexpectedly, when Song Min picked up Huang Dan and was about to put him in the water to give him a bath, the big one and the small one accidentally traveled to a parallel world.

The accident didn’t stop there. Before Song Min had time to think, he became the missionary, and his guardian was S01.

You can go back after completing all the tasks. This is what S01 said, the so-called reward for success.

Song Min completed nine tasks in one go and got stuck on the last one.

In order to maintain his character’s setting, he had to follow the development script and raise Huang Dan with great difficulty. Just when he was about to complete the task, somebody showed up unexpectedly and disrupted everything.

God knows how much restraint he used to avoid ruining his character.

As for Huang Dan’s pain nerves, Song Min only learned about it after he grew up, including the fact that he couldn’t laugh.

The professor thought that the experiment was perfect and that he would be able to implement the second plan after a while, speeding up using Huang Dan’s blood in a new round of research and development, hoping that it could be used in medicine as soon as possible. However, he did not expect that an error would still occur.

Although this world is a parallel world, there is no scientific research base, and there is no Song Min. He may be dead, or may not exist.

Surprises are everywhere.

Whether one world corresponds to one parallel world or several parallel worlds, no one can provide a scientific basis for this.

Current scientific research proves that as long as a certain point in the two worlds overlaps, the people and objects at that point will appear in the other world.

That’s it.

Scientific research lasts a lifetime, and there may not be a breakthrough until death.

Song Min briefly told what happened, “Is there anything else you want to ask?”

Chen Yue picked up the lighter on the ground, “Scientific researcher? Researching living people?”

Song Min corrected him, “He is not a living person. He was carefully cultivated by all scientific researchers over several years. They invested a lot of manpower and material resources. Their starting point and ultimate goal were to benefit mankind.”

As a result, the experimental product that so much effort was spent on research disappeared.

The professor should be dead. He must have died out of anger.

Song Min added, “His lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people, and his body functions are also more improved.”

When Chen Yue heard this, his mood turned from gloomy to cheerful. He picked up the chair on the ground and sat down on it, “What’s wrong with Huang Dan’s pain nerves?”

Song Min said, “That was a fault.”

Huang Dan, who had been silent all this time, said in a hoarse voice, “Then what is your mission?”

Song Min said, “Let you live a healthy and safe life for a lifetime.”

Huang Dan was stunned for a moment, a lifetime? It’s still early, no wonder Song Min’s mission hasn’t been completed yet.

“Why do you mind if Chen Yue and I get together? This has nothing to do with your mission.”

Song Min said it matters a lot, “As long as a person falls in love, he will inevitably get hurt.”

Huang Dan’s eyes opened slightly. Song Min may have been deeply hurt emotionally, “No, Chen Yue will not hurt me.”

Song Min shook his head, “You are too naive. A couple can love each other, but they can also have conflicts. There will be countless times in their lives when they want to divorce and never talk to each other again. When they regret it, they may even want to strangle each other to death. Facts have proven that feelings will only hurt people, and in serious cases, their lives will be in danger. If you want to live a safe life, stay away from feelings.”

Huang Dan frowned and looked at him, “Your idea is too radical. Accidents happen outside every day, so isn’t it best not to go out?”

Chen Yue sneered, “It’s not just outside. You might choke to death when you eat, and you might not wake up when you sleep. Just don’t eat or sleep then.”

Ignoring the ridicule, Song Min looked at Huang Dan and said to himself, “Once a person has feelings, they will suffer and you will regret it.”

If Huang Dan hadn’t stopped him, Chen Yue would have already raised his fist.

Damn it, you’re being alarmist here!

Chen Yue’s chest was filled with unknown fire, and he kicked the corner of the table.

Song Min took in Chen Yue’s madness and said, “Young man, do you know what your uneasiness and fear mean?”

“It means that you are very clear about that point in your heart, and you agree with what I said. You have experienced it yourself, and the past ten years have proven it……”

Chen Yue’s expression was horrifying. He interrupted Song Min and said, “Huang Dan, get out of the way!”

Huang Dan said, “He is my family.”

These few words were like a shot of tranquilizer and Chen Yue’s furious emotions were instantly suppressed. He breathed heavily, staring at Song Min with bloodshot eyes, as if he was glaring at an enemy.

When Song Min heard those words, he raised his eyelids and looked at the child he had raised, feeling relieved.

“Master, one day you will tell me that you regret it. By then, you will be riddled with scars and I will not be able to save you.”

Chen Yue pulled Huang Dan aside, and Huang Dan hugged him from behind.

“Fuck, Huang Dan, get out of my way!”

“Calm down.”

“He is spouting bullshit one after another, how do you want me to calm down?”

“Chen Yue, I am an adult and have my own ideas. I will not be swayed by a few words.”

“I told you to get out of the way, did you hear me? Get out of the way!”

Song Min looked at the two people who were in a stalemate in front of him, “You have only been together for less than a week, and now you are arguing. There is still a long way to go in the future. If you really go together, I don’t know how many times you will quarrel on the way. Even if you don’t go your separate ways, you will get tired of each other in the end.”

Chen Yue was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

Song Min said all the things he hated to hear the most, all at once, without any warning at all. Now he was angry and panicked, and was afraid that Huang Dan would think too much about it.

Even if it only lasted for a second and disappeared in an instant, it was very scary for Chen Yue.

Because what Song Min said is a common phenomenon in marriage, if you just ask couples who have been married for a few years or even more than ten years, you will find that they have some common points.

Faced with Song Min’s firecracker-like remarks, Chen Yue’s rebuttal was not strong enough, so he lost his mind.

Huang Dan held Chen Yue’s hand to prevent him from getting angry, and comforted him silently.

Chen Yue wiped his face with his other hand, and glib talked to Huang Dan for a while, giving him an expression that reassured him.

It’s okay, calm down, Chen Yue told himself in his heart, the road is still long, but he and Huang Dan are ready to go together, and it will get better and better.

Huang Dan noticed a change in Chen Yue’s aura, and the lines between his eyebrows became a little lighter, “I will handle emotional matters myself.”

Song Min did not express his position this time.

The living room became quiet again. If an outsider came in at this time, he would think that a family conflict had just occurred due to a trivial matter.

Chen Yue picked up the lighter on the ground and pressed it several times to start the fire. He lit a cigarette and took a puff, “Song Shushu, I was too agitated just now. Please forgive me.”

Song Min didn’t respond.

Chen Yue’s temples were throbbing. He closed his eyes and suppressed the anger in his heart. No matter what, this man had taken care of Huang Dan for decades, and they would have many dealings in the future.

“Song Shushu, I will treat him well.”

Song Min responded, “I still have the same opinion.”

Chen Yue，“……”

Huang Dan remembered something and asked Song Min, “Have you failed the mission now?”

Song Min seemed to be ready to take revenge on society. I am done for. No one will have a good life, “Yes, I failed. My new guardian notified me just now and asked me to accept his condolences.”

Life is full of surprises, and he bumped into a few at once. Thank God for taking special care of him.

The phenomenon of traveling through time and space to complete missions is so magical that no one would believe it if you told them about it. They would just think you were joking. If someone made it sound like it was real, then they must be mentally ill.

As a result, all three people in the living room caught up, which is an impressive chance.

Huang Dan said, “We can think of another way.”

Song Min said with a slight movement of the corners of his lips, “There are nine planets in the universe, more than 800 islands, more than 200 countries, and more than 7 billion people. This is something that can be found out by just asking or checking, but does anyone know how many parallel universes exist in the entire galaxy, and how many parallel worlds there are in a universe?”

He sighed, “There is no other way. Only by completing the task can we have a chance.”

Huang Dan said, “Then I won’t go back.”

Chen Yue on the side stared at Huang Dan so closely that he forgot to breathe. After hearing what he said, he remembered to blow out a puff of smoke from his mouth.

Song Min, however, acted as if he had heard a joke, “Not going back? If a person has no belief, then what’s the point of living?”

Huang Dan said, “You can change your beliefs. Before, it was going home, and later it could be something else.”

Song Min asked, “Can beliefs be changed?”

Huang Dan said it could be done.

Song Min immediately showed a disappointed expression. It felt like an old father who had raised his son wholeheartedly for decades, only to find out one day that his son’s values were completely different from his own and that he could not communicate with him.

Huang Dan looked over, “Do you have something else to say?”

Song Min said, “I’ve been unhappy with you for a long time.”
