In the familiar living room, I sat on the familiar sofa and looked at the familiar TV, which was playing the news platform that my father liked the most.

In front of me was a coffee table that had not been replaced for many years. The old walls around it had turned yellow, and the white putty in some corners had even cracked and fell off, leaving some gaps, revealing the solid wall inside.

Because the house is small but there are many things, every time the white putty falls off, it will sprinkle on the shoe rack, on the table, or on the floor.

Gu Xing remembers that every time his mother Wu Ying cleans up, she can't help but complain, and then scolds his father Gu Panhui and himself.

Now, looking at the scenes at home, what emerged in Gu Xing’s mind were all memories of getting along with his parents.

Sometimes, he would also think, can’t he just stay with his parents peacefully until the two parents leave after a hundred years?

But unfortunately, his reason told him that it would not work.

Now that he has reached this point and established a "cause and effect network", he has already understood many things he didn't understand before.

When Zuo Kuang took that step in Jincheng, in addition to being unable to break through the second state due to the break of the "time dimension", his mind and nature actually had problems.

He always instigates others to try behind the scenes, and he does not dare to try that step for a long time, and his spirit has been lost. Even if the "time dimension" is not broken, he will not be able to advance to the second state in the end.

As the saying goes, one round of energy will decline again, and three out.

That's it.

If Gu Xing did not take that step while his mind, body, and will are at its peak, he would not have a second chance.

That's what happens in the world.

Always make a choice.

And Gu Xing had already made his own choice.

...

"...I didn't expect that Xiao Yang, you actually knew my son long ago? That's such a coincidence! I tell you, my son..."

After greeting Gu Xing and Yang Qianyi into the house and learning that Yang Qianyi and Gu Xing had known each other for a long time, Wu Ying took Yang Qianyi's hand and sat on the sofa happily chatting about homework.

Yang Qianyi's several months of intentional showdowns have indeed brought the distance between her and Gu Xing's mother.

Gu Xing sat aside and withdrew his gaze from looking at home.

Gu Panhui sat on the single sofa next to him, looking at the TV, but he talked to Gu Xing from time to time. He did not ask what Gu Xing had done over the past year, but talked about some trivial things in Gu Xing's mother's life.

At the end, I didn't forget to say things like Gu Xing's mother missed him very much.

Men's emotional expressions are always so implicit.

Gu Xing just listened and occasionally echoed and smiled.

After chatting for about half an hour, my mother Wu Ying suddenly remembered something, and quickly got up and looked at Gu Xing, saying, "Xiaoxing, you haven't eaten yet, are you? Look at me forgot about this excitement! I'll make it for you now!"

"Aunt Wu, it's okay, let me do it!"

Yang Qianyi got up and walked towards the kitchen, trying to rush to do it.

But Wu Ying quickly stopped him: "How can this be done? You are a guest, how can you let you do it? You sit down quickly! I'll come, you Aunt Wu, I cook very quickly!"

"mom."

Just as the two were competing to cook, Gu Xing spoke, and he said calmly: "I have something to tell you."

His words made Gu Panhui and Wu Ying look at him.

Looking at the calmness on Gu Xing's face, they suddenly realized something.

Wu Ying squeezed a smile on her face and said, "Oh, let's talk about it after dinner if you have anything to do."

After saying that, she walked into the kitchen and started cooking.

Many times, even if people know what to face, they still want to be able to delay for a moment.

It’s not that I don’t want to face it, it’s just that I want to face it later.

Gu Xing looked at Wu Ying's busy back in the kitchen and finally chose to remain silent.

Gu Panhui, who was beside him, also fell into silence.

The originally lively atmosphere fell to freezing point.

Yang Qianyi glanced at Gu Xing, said nothing, walked into the kitchen silently and helped Wu Ying with help.

In the kitchen, Wu Ying, who was cooking, couldn't help but shed tears while cooking.

Time passes by minute by minute.

Although I wanted to delay the time of separation, what should come in the end came.

At dusk, the sunset sets, and the golden sunset shines thousands of miles.

Wu Ying's meal was finally prepared.

It’s not that luxurious, it’s just a simple home-cooked meal with four dishes and one soup, but it’s all the ones that Gu Xing liked when he was a child.

Just like when he was a child, Gu Xing consciously went to get the dishes and chopsticks and started to add everyone's meal.

The whole family sat around the dining table and finished the meal silently.

Gu Xing, who hasn't eaten anything for a long time, finished all the meals and dishes this time.

The three people on the side who had already eaten, all just stared at him in a daze.

After he put down the dishes, Wu Ying subconsciously wanted to get up to clean up the dishes, but was stopped by Gu Xing.

"Mom, let me take it again."

Gu Xing smiled and said, "The last time."

This sentence instantly made Wu Ying's tears fall silently again. In the end, she did not move anymore and allowed Gu Xing to finish cleaning up the dishes.

When Gu Xing came out of the kitchen, he looked at Gu Panhui and Wu Ying who were still sitting at the dining table, staring at him in a daze.

Without hesitation, he made the whole world fear it. Even when facing any powerful enemy, the white demon kneeled down on his knees.

"Dad and mom, it is my honor to have parents like you; it is your misfortune to have sons like you. Thank you for your care for me over the years! But please forgive my unfilial piety, I... am leaving! This time... I may not come back!"

He finished all the farewell words in one breath, and then Gu Xing kowtowed three times.

As the saying goes, a man has gold under his knees and kneels on his parents.

But he did not kneel down to heaven and earth, but only his parents!

This is what he owe them!

Gu Panhui and Wu Ying were silent after hearing his words.

Although I have realized that, even though Gu Xing tactfully gave them vaccinations more than a year ago when he was in Qianling Mountain.

When this day really came, they were still at a loss.

After a long time, a long time.

After Gu Panhui said "yes" in a slight and inauspicious voice, he stood up and left the seat, walked into the bedroom, and closed the door.

Wu Ying wiped away the tears on her face, squeezed out a smile again, and said to Gu Xing: "Son, we understand, you can do what you want. Don't worry about us, we all have pension insurance. In the future... don't be arrogant in everything in the future, do you try to pay attention to safety? "

Just like Qianling Mountain that time, she only wanted her son to be safe.

Even if you will never see it again.

Gu Xing looked at his mother Wu Ying's old face and gray temples in silence, and finally nodded solemnly to agree.

...

When Gu Xing came out of his home, night had already fallen.

The dim street lights on the old streets were on, and the light flickered.

Yang Qianyi came out with him.

The two of them walked side by side, without saying a word, walked out of the community where the old house was located, and stopped when they arrived at the intersection of the road.

"Then I'll send you here."

Yang Qianyi's eyes were slightly red and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will take good care of them in the future."

Gu Xing looked at her, as he did during the day, and did not speak.

Yang Qianyi seemed to be used to his disresponse, waved her hand with a smile, then turned around and walked back to the community.

suddenly--

"Hello."

"Um?"

"Let's get married."

“……!!!”
