"Haha, it's okay. I've been lying down for so long after all." Seeing Gu Men coming, Gao Feng stood up and smiled brightly at him.
Gumen also responded with a smile: "I want to take you out for a walk today, just go outside to get some fresh air."
"Yeah, okay." Hayate agreed happily.
The two of them arrived outside the Freedom Fortress. They felt comfortable in the strong wind that had not been breathed in for a long time. The plants, trees, blue sky and white clouds that they had been away from for a long time looked particularly beautiful at this time.
He stretched out contentedly, letting go of the boredom of this period of time.
"Gumen, where are we going?" Hayate asked happily, bathing in the sunshine contentedly.
"Well, I want to take you to meet someone." Looking at the young and lively young man in front of him who was as young and lively as Lian at that time, Gumen's thoughts returned to the past.
"one person?"
With inexplicable expectations and curiosity, Gu Men, dressed in casual clothes, took him to the amusement park.
This place is full of laughter, and countless people are laughing and playing here. Such a warm scene is completely the luxury of luxury for Hayate. He has never been to such a place, so he feels very novel about everything around him.
"Wow, isn't this a ship? Why is it hanging?" Looking at Hayate, who was attracted by the pirate ship, Gumen was very curious: "Have you never been to a place like this before?"
"Uh..." Hayate scratched his head in embarrassment and stuck out his tongue: "No..."
"..." Hearing such an answer, he felt even more distressed...
From birth to now, this young man has been living in dire straits and has never had the happiness that other people of his age have...
These things that are common to them are so out of reach for him...
"Want to have some fun?" Seeing this, Gumen decided to do his best.
"Is that okay?" Gale's eyes showed joy, but he quickly restrained himself: "No need..."
Gumen could tell that he didn't want to trouble him too much and was afraid of spending too much money. He smiled slightly, stepped forward and put his hand on his shoulder: "Don't think so much, let's go!"
"Wuhu!!!" Ever since, Gumen took him to various amusement facilities, and the two of them had so much fun that they forgot the purpose of their visit.
Gumen has been professionally trained after all, and naturally has no fear of these facilities, but it is different for Hayate. Even if he fights as Nexus, he has never flown at high speed in the sky, so Items such as jumping machines and roller coasters that can scare people half to death will naturally make him scream repeatedly. If he hadn't been supported by Gu Men, he would have fallen directly to the ground.
"Haha, do you want to do it again?" Seeing that Gale's legs were weak from fear, Gu Men made a "kind-hearted" suggestion.
"No, no, no, it's... too scary!" Hayate was still frightened by this terrible experience and didn't want to experience it a second time.
"Ha ha……"
"Wha—" While the two were joking, a red Frisbee flew from the side. Gumen reacted quickly, turned around and reached out to catch it.
"Hey!!!" A young man in a yellow apron in the distance waved enthusiastically to Gumen: "Gumen, you haven't come to me after playing for so long, it's really not fun!!"
"Ah, it's Lian!" He hadn't seen Lian for a long time and saw that he was still the same. Gumen smiled happily and threw the Frisbee back with a strong flick. When Lian went to catch the Frisbee, he turned around and smiled at the wind: " Let’s go, he is the person I want to take you to see.”
"Um."
The three of them met, and Rei enthusiastically took them to the happy room where he worked. After sitting them down, he asked, "Would you like anything to drink?"
"It's okay, please."
"Yes." Lian nodded and turned around to prepare tea, but was stopped by Zhenchao: "Lian, your cousin is here once in a while. You'd better have a good chat with them. Just let Wei Bai prepare it here."
"Ah?" Wei Bai, who had just come back from pretending to be a panda and took off his hood, was confused: "I just finished my work!"
"Haha, young people should work more!" Needle Nest smiled kindly: "Go quickly!"
"Okay..." Oushiro curled his lips, but quickly took off his costume and went to help prepare tea. After all, for him, Rei helped him a lot, and of course he would help him without hesitation.
"Well," Rei looked at the somewhat reserved Hayate with a smile, and stretched out his hand: "Hello, I am Qian Shu Rei, just call me Rei~"
Facing this sunny and energetic man in front of him who was similar to his own age, Hayate stretched out his hand slightly nervously and shook his hand: "Hello, my name is Sugiyama Hayate."
"Then can I call you Hayate?" Rei said with a bad smile.
"Well...it's okay..." Withdrawing his hand, Hayate lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Okay, Lian, stop teasing others." Gumen smiled and told Lian to stop.
"Yeah." Rei also sat down and turned to look at Gumen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time:
"Speaking of which, Gumen, you haven't been here for a long time!"
"Haha, after all, I was really busy some time ago! I'm so sorry." Gumen smiled: "It seems that the last time we met was more than a year ago."
"Yeah, it's been a long time." Thinking of the past, the two couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Don't just hang out with the pleasantries, the bear cake is here!!" Wei Bai, who put on an apron, brought the tea. It was a fragrant bear-shaped cake. The fragrance spread in the air at once, and the fragrance spread for ten miles. .
"There's also afternoon tea." After placing three cups of tea in front of the three of them, Wei Bai reached out and patted Lian's shoulder: "Lian, don't forget to come and help me later!"
"Well, thank you."
"Small problem." Wei Bai smiled slightly: "Then you guys chat slowly, I'll go out first."
"Hayate, give it a try. Obaikao's bear cake is much better than before!" Rei first poked one with a toothpick and gave it to Hayate.
"Thank you." Hayate reached out and took it, putting the steaming cake into his mouth. The delicate touch in the mouth was fascinating, and the sweet fragrance was even more memorable...
"It's delicious!!" Such delicacy won Hayate's praise. For him, this was also a delicacy he had never experienced before.
"Haha, if it tastes good, eat more!" Seeing that he liked it, Gumen stretched out his hand and moved the plate slightly toward him. He also picked up one with a toothpick and put it into his mouth, with a satisfied look on his face: "Hmm~ Okay eat!"
"I'll just tell you!" Lian smiled happily.
After enjoying this rare afternoon tea, the three of them took Hayate out to support Oi Bai, who was almost overwhelmed.
"Oi Bai! We are here to help you!!" Rei ran to Oi Bai, who was extremely busy, and whispered something in his ear. Gumen and Hayate followed shortly after, and he said: "Leave it to me here. Me and Gu Men, I’ll leave it to you two to recruit from outside!”
"Huh? You two mean..." Gale blinked, somewhat understanding the situation.
"Of course it's the two of us, let's go, poor cousin!" Oibai took off his apron and handed it to Gumen, then reached out and took Hayate's hand to get the props and clothes.
"Huh? Cousin? When..." Hayate didn't understand the situation at all. He was pulled by Weibai to put on a plush red panda costume, and ran outside the happy house with the chicken dressed as Weibai.
Looking at Hayate, who was clumsily moving his body to greet people passing by under Oshiro's guidance, the two people making refreshments in the shop couldn't help but smile.
"He is really strong!"
"Yeah..." Gumen nodded: "When I look at him, it's like seeing Lian before, burdened with such a heavy fate."
"Really?" Lian shook his head slightly: "But, he and I are also very lucky."
"Lucky?"
"Yes, isn't it lucky to meet such a considerate and good cousin like Gumen?"
Looking at Lian's innocent smile, Gumen suppressed the joy in his heart and couldn't help but laugh: "What!"
Lian smiled evilly: "Haha, are you shy?"
"No way!!"
"Hey!! Gumen, your little bear cake has been baked for too long! I can smell the burnt smell!!!" Lian smelled a bad smell and looked down at the small frying pan with white smoke coming out. Only then did he react.
"Huh?!" Gumen hurriedly opened the small pot in his hand, and sure enough, a smell of paste accompanied by white smoke poured into the nasal cavity, making them cough non-stop: "Ahem!!"
"Is there a fire?" Needle Nest thought there was a fire and rushed in with a fire extinguisher. Before the two of them could explain, they were covered in dry powder and their whole bodies were dyed white.
"Pfft!!" Lian spat out the dry powder in his mouth and said helplessly: "Mr. Needle Nest, there is no fire, it's just that the cake is burnt..."
"Ah?" Needle Nest scratched his head in embarrassment, then awkwardly walked out with the fire extinguisher in hand: "Sorry, sorry!"
The next second he stuck his head out again: "You still have to be careful when using fire!"
"I understand..." After he left, the two of them turned to look at each other's funny look in white, and laughed uncontrollably: "Hahaha!!"
After quickly cleaning up the mess here, the two started talking about things while working.
"I heard from the prophet that you were also involved in the development of special medicine, right?"
"Yes." Rei nodded and poured the baked cake into the storage box: "After all, my life was saved by everyone, so I also want to do my best with everyone, in order to suffer the same pain as the wind People trapped in all sorts of pain.”
After saying that, both he and Gumen turned their attention to Hayate, who was gradually becoming more proficient and happily interacting with the people around him.
"We will do our best to rescue him..."
"Hmm..." Gumen nodded. Seeing that the atmosphere in the air was a bit depressing, he opened his mouth again and changed the topic:
"Speaking of which, how are you and Ruisheng doing now?"
"Ah?" Lian was slightly startled when he was suddenly asked by Gumen, then lowered his head to concentrate on making the bear cake, and said softly: "That's it..."
Seeing that he seemed shy, Gu Men smiled evilly and said, "What kind of thing?"
"Gu Men, please stop asking so many questions and don't burn the cake again!!"
"Okay, don't worry!" Gumen smiled and without further questioning, lowered his head and poured the baked cake into the storage box.
"We will get married soon." After a long time, Lian said softly.
It was almost dusk now, and the golden glow shone on his face, but it couldn't cover his slightly red cheeks.
"Really, that's great, Lian!" Gumen was really happy for Lian.
"I will also invite you over when the time comes, and I'm still waiting for you to be the best man, Gumen!!" Under the setting sun, his sunny smile looked even brighter.
"Yeah, definitely!!"
After a busy day of work, after having dinner with everyone and watching the sun get off work, the two of them said goodbye to Lian and the others, and left first. After all, they still had to return to the Free Fortress at night to prevent anything from happening. Before leaving, they went to the Needle Nest Then he enthusiastically gave the two of them a big bag of bear cakes: "This is a good thing, you can eat it anytime!"
"Thank you very much!"
"How was your day today?" On the way back, Gumen turned to look at Gao Feng, who was always smiling.
"Thanks to Gumen, I really had a great time today!!" Hayate finally showed the same sunny smile as Lian, sweeping away the previous gloom, Gumen couldn't help but sigh slightly, this is what people of this age should have. It looks like...
The bright light from the moon seemed to light up Hayate's originally empty eyes...
Where the two of them didn't notice, a pair of golden eyes quietly stared at them...
"Ah, Gumen, look, it's a shooting star!" Looking at the stars flying across the sky, Hayate was very excited.
"Huh?" Gumen looked up and saw the sky full of stars. A shooting star streaked across the sky, leaving a beautiful mark in the dark sky.
"It's so beautiful..."
Also admiring the beautiful starry sky were Lian and Ruisheng, who were clinging to each other. Ruisheng came back here at night after a busy day's work, and sat with Lian on the grass outside the hut where Lian lived, looking up and admiring together. This beautiful gift from the universe to mankind.
"Today Gumen brought new qualified people here to see me."
"Yes." Ruisheng responded softly: "I met him once in the Free Fortress. He is a relatively thin boy."
"Yes, they are all tortured by that disease." Thinking of this, Lian couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"Um...how is Michael?"
"Progress is slow. Everyone is trying their best, but there are still many problems that cannot be easily solved."
"Don't be too tired, Lian." Ruisheng stretched out his right hand and gently touched Lian's slightly thin face. The ring on it slightly reflected the bright moonlight: "You have been busy until late recently, and you have lost weight..."
"It's okay." Lian reached out and held Ruisheng's cold hand, passing on the warmth of his palm to her.
"Ruisheng must be working very hard every day now."
Ruisheng opened his pink lips slightly: "Fortunately, no new alien beasts have appeared recently."
"That's it, that's good. It's a little cold outside, let's go back inside."
"good."
They stood up and slowly walked back into the house hand in hand.
Neither of them noticed the blue meteor that quietly fell towards Japan...
"Boom - Bang!!" Leaving a long mark in the air, the small meteorite fell to the deserted wasteland and made a small crater, flashing with a strange blue light, as if it was detecting the surrounding area. After a while, it stopped flashing, then quietly slipped into the ground and disappeared into the night...
