When the early morning sunlight of the next day shone through the window into the cabin of the warship, the entire room was filled with pale golden light. The boat has docked, and the calls of seabirds and the noise of fishermen can be heard outside, suggesting that a new day has begun.
In this quiet cabin, Ye Ning sat naked on the edge of the bed. His skin looked healthier and shiny in the early morning sun. He slowly put on his clothes, every movement seemed so calm and natural. He turned to look at Li Yishuang, who was lying next to her on the bed. Her face still had the blush from last night, like the first blooming cherry blossoms, clear and delicate.
Ye Ning gently stretched out her hand and gently touched Li Yishuang's face, his fingertips filled with warmth and love. He gently said to Li Yishuang: "We are here. I will get some food first, and then we will go home after eating." This sentence seemed to carry a kind of commitment and responsibility, indicating his care and protection for Li Yishuang.
Li Yishuang's eyes looked a little shy. She wrapped the quilt more tightly around herself, as if she wanted to hide everything about herself from Ye Ning. She nodded gently, her meaningful eyes met with Ye Ning's for a moment, and then Ye Ning turned and left the cabin.
Li Yishuang, who stayed in the room, was still flushed, with a certain light shining in her eyes, as if she was still recalling everything that happened last night. Her heartbeat accelerated, and her whole body seemed to be wrapped in the warmth of last night. For a moment, she forgot that she was not dressed yet and froze in place.
The early morning light and the warmth in the cabin intertwined to form a beautiful picture, and the emotions of the two people were reached at this moment.
The early morning sun shines on the sea, making the waves sparkle and sway gently with the breeze. The warship is moored quietly next to the pier, contrasting with the Eastern Continent in the distance. In the cabin, Ye Ning and Li Yishuang were sitting at the dining table, with a simple and fragrant breakfast in front of them. The air is filled with hot steam and the aroma of food.
However, in stark contrast, Li Yishuang seemed very silent throughout the breakfast, and did not even dare to look up at Ye Ning. Her eyes were lowered, and her long eyelashes covered her eyes. She just mechanically ate the food in front of her, as if she was deeply entangled and uneasy in her heart.
After the two finished eating, they stood up gently. Ye Ning walked to the cabin door first, followed closely by Li Yishuang. The two of them seemed to be in perfect harmony as they walked steadily down the gangway of the warship. On the pier, dozens of soldiers in military uniforms stood neatly in two rows. Their expressions were serious and their eyes were firmly looking at Ye Ning and Li Yishuang, showing their respect and loyalty to the two people.
The soldiers saluted and welcomed the two. Then, two officers stepped forward and respectfully guided Ye Ning and Li Yishuang towards an official military vehicle. The car started, slowly drove out of the pier, passed through the bustling streets, and finally stopped at the entrance of the high-speed rail station.
On the platform, the high-speed train is waiting quietly, its streamlined shape and steel body shining in the sun. Ye Ning and Li Yishuang were guided into the car. The interior of the car was spacious and quiet. The scenery outside the window receded rapidly, which meant that the two were about to start a new journey towards their hometown - Tiancheng.
In the carriage of the high-speed train, there is a quiet and faint sound of friction between wheels and rails. Ye Ning and Li Yishuang sat side by side on the spacious seats. There was an obvious distance between them. This distance was not only physical, but seemed to be more due to the entanglement last night and the embarrassment at the moment.
There was a faint blush on Li Yishuang's face. Her eyes seemed to be avoiding something, and she did not dare to look directly at Ye Ning. Her eyes were always focused on the window, her bright eyes reflecting the rapidly receding scenery, as if she was looking for a place to hide and escape the embarrassment of this moment. Her hands were gently placed on her knees, and her fingertips were clasped tightly unconsciously, revealing her inner uneasiness.
Ye Ning sat next to her, his eyes looking much calmer. Seeing her avoiding his gaze, he didn't seem to want to break the silence, but turned to look out the window. Over the course of a year, he felt both familiar and unfamiliar with the changes in this continent. Although the cities on the road still retained the outlines he remembered, there were also many new buildings, roads and bridges. They blended in with the images in his memory, but seemed to be subtly different.
The sunlight slanted in from the window and sprinkled on the two of them. The lights inside the carriage are intertwined with the sunlight outside
Together, it brings soft light and shadow to this space. Outside the car window, all kinds of scenery were constantly refreshing, from bustling cities to vast fields to rolling mountains, all unfolding in front of their eyes like a flowing picture scroll.
During this period, although the two did not communicate, the emotions in their hearts were constantly intertwined, including regret, shyness, longing, and expectation.
Although Tiancheng has experienced the vicissitudes and changes of the times, in the eyes of Ye Ning and Li Yishuang, it is still the familiar and warm home. The sky outside the high-speed rail station is blue, the sun is shining brightly, and the air is mixed with the fresh smell of soil and the faint fragrance of flowers.
On the platform, among the bustling crowd, Ye Ning and Li Yishuang stood out. They stood there, looking at this familiar city. On both sides of the street, various shops are lined up, some of which are run by humans, while others are hosted by animals, showing the unique scenery of harmonious coexistence between humans and animals. The store's signboard has both ordinary words and animal footprints, highlighting the multiculturalism here.
On the streets, various animals are walking struttingly. They are either leisurely or busy running their own business, coexisting harmoniously with people without any barriers or alienation. In the sky, birds circle and fly. They are either playing with each other or carefully patrolling the city below, as if they are the guardians of the Celestial City, ensuring the peace and security here.
Just as Ye Ning and Li Yishuang were immersed in this familiar scenery, a voice broke the tranquility: "You two, please get in the car." They turned around and saw a soldier in military uniform standing in an official vehicle. Next to the military vehicle, his eyes were firm, his posture was straight, and he was holding a military cap in his hand. Next to the car, there were several soldiers standing around the car. They were obviously here to pick up Ye Ning and Li Yishuang. Ye Ning nodded and walked towards the military vehicle with Li Yishuang.
The vehicle stopped gently in front of the wide stone steps of the Tiantian Temple. The Tiantian Temple is a majestic building that stands in the center of Tiancheng, with towering spiers and magnificent splendor. The stone steps in front of the temple have been polished for many years and are particularly smooth, shining with silver light in the sun. There are huge stone pillars on both sides of the temple, carved with magnificent scenes of various mythical animals and history.
Ye Ning walked out of the car, his steps were firm, and his eyes showed his determination for future affairs. He turned around, leaned down and looked down at Li Yishuang in the car. Her eyes seemed a little avoidant, and she held the car door handle tightly with both hands, as if looking for some comfort. Ye Ning's eyes were full of concern, and he said softly to Li Yishuang: "I'll go to a meeting first, and you can wait for me at home." There was both a sense of responsibility and concern for her in his tone.
When Li Yishuang heard this, the blush on her face became more obvious. Those eyes that were once as bright as stars seemed a little erratic now, especially when she heard the words "go home and wait for me", she was obviously touched a little. She seemed to want to say something, but didn't seem to know how to say it. She just blushed and nodded gently to confirm that she heard Ye Ning's words.
Ye Ning understands that what happened last night made Li Yishuang feel complicated. After the first time, Li Yishuang suddenly found it difficult to accept such a rapid change in feelings. He would definitely not be able to bear the sudden addition of someone to his life. Ye Ning probably understood Li Yishuang's struggle. He knew that all this would only last for a long time and become in love.
Ye Ning gently closed the car door to ensure her safety. He watched the military vehicle drive away, knowing that she would be sent home safely. Turning around, he looked towards the Tiantian Temple, where important matters were waiting for him to deal with. He took a deep breath and walked firmly into the hall, preparing for the next meeting.
Ye Ning slowly walked into the majestic Tiantian Palace. The marble floor in the palace reflected the light, making his figure look even more majestic. The resplendent wall lamps flickered, illuminating the surroundings. In the Tiantian Hall, there was a buzz of people, and groups of people kept moving around, shuttling in every corner. Some are discussing a new policy, and some are just chatting, but overall, this place gives people a feeling of prosperity and vitality.
Ye Ning began to walk slowly towards the top floor of Tiantian Temple. Each step is carved extremely beautifully, with ancient patterns carved on it, showing the glorious history of mankind. When he reached the top floor, a spacious and luxuriously decorated conference room came into view. A huge crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, illuminating the entire room like daylight. But the conference room was extremely quiet at this time.
Empty.
Ye Ning looked around and saw that there were exquisite metal nameplates placed on various seats, which were the logos of various high-level human personnel. He walked to his seat and gently touched his name tag, which was engraved with the words "Ye Ning". This was his identity certification as a representative of the human side. But he didn't stop. His eyes turned to other famous brands. He wanted to see if there were any new changes during his absence.
But when he saw the location of leader Yu Xuanyao, he found that the nameplate there was missing. This made Ye Ning feel nervous. Leader Yu Xuannao was an important leader on the human side. What did the disappearance of his famous brand mean? Is he no longer in this important position, or has something else happened?
Ye Ning took a deep breath and tried to calm down. He knew that he might need to find out all this next.
