    Chapter 231 Castles in the Air

    The night was already deep, but none of us felt sleepy at all.  I sang songs I wrote casually, read ancient poems, and told stories I knew about the past.  Teng Qiuyan just leaned on my shoulder, blinking and listening without saying a word.  At this moment she returned to her girlhood, and I seemed to have aged infinitely for a hundred years.  Our roles were reversed, with me becoming the comforting elder and she remaining innocent.  In fact, we are both looking for the missing parts of each other. What I long for is growth, and what she seeks is innocence.

    Maybe in this world, the pain of "not getting what you want" alone is enough to torture many people year after year.

    "I have never had so much communication with Teng Qiuyan. Before, she watched me do things, and I watched her do things. We occasionally made eye contact, and we just explored each other's opinions on certain issues.  Such aimless chatting has never happened in my imagination.

    It just so happens that at this moment, the person guarding her is me.  The wonder of fate is amazing.

    "Actually, I've known about this hereditary disease since I was very young. I secretly checked myself and knew the results." Teng Qiuyan talked about his own affairs as if he was talking about an unrelated person. "Minister Zhang always wanted to hide it."  , he thought I didn¡¯t know how my mother died. Watching him keep changing women made me feel sick.¡±

    It was evident that Teng Qiuyan was stubborn about her father still being called Minister Zhang at this time. I did not persuade her, but comforted her and said, "Essentially, I am similar to your father I may not be as good as my character."  Not as good as him."

    Teng Qiuyan smiled slightly: "Do people who engage in politics have better character than you?"

    I think so. In small theaters on the streets and alleys, the title politician is usually used as a curse word.

    "It's your father after all" I thought about it but couldn't hold it back and continued to act like a nagging old man, "There's no need to refuse to forgive him like this."

    Teng Qiuyan smiled: "Some things have been entangled in my heart for too long and I can't let go. I hate this family and I owe them a lot. I'm tired of saying these words over and over again every year."

    The graceful long hair flows down my shoulders, and the fragrance from the hairline spreads in the air, making people excited.  I put my arm around Teng Qiuyan's shoulders and continued to persuade him without giving up: "We are a family after all. I can see that he still cares about you."

    Teng Qiuyan rubbed my sword shoulder with his chin and said softly: "I know, that's why I work hard to repay them. But I no longer want to participate in everything about this family."

    I smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know how many people envy you? If I had a family like yours, I might never have any thoughts of adventure in my life."

    "Would you still be the same person you are today?" Teng Qiuyan asked a simple question, but it went straight to people's hearts.

    I continued to smile bitterly: "At least that way I can get the happiness you mentioned."

    "It's not that easy." Teng Qiuyan sighed, "You think I've escaped for so long and I'm not back. There are all kinds of gravity in this world. As you walk, you will be pulled away by gravity unknowingly.  Now, go back to the interests."

    I have nothing to say. Facts have proved that Teng Qiuyan¡¯s view is right.  Even for people like me, in the end, my inner concerns and various external interests brought me to where I am today.  I believe that I long for a plain and happy life more than most people in the world, but I have no other choice but to take risks.

    Even facing Teng Qiuyan, I couldn¡¯t reveal much. I could only continue to make promises that most people would never believe: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will find a way to cure you¡±

    Teng Qiuyan buried his head in my chest and nodded hard, which made me feel itchy in my heart.

    "Well, I always believe you."

    After saying that, as if she was still afraid that I wouldn¡¯t believe her, she raised her head and looked into my eyes again.

    "You said, if my health gets better would it be okay to marry you?"

    I was shocked by this suggestion: "The crime of bigamy in our country is very scary"

    "Fool, if you become a noble, no one will care about you." Teng Qiuyan's eyes were wandering at this moment, and there was no trace of the evil young man's demeanor.

    "The problem is that our country is a republic and has no aristocracy."

    "Fool." Teng Qiuyan repeated again, his tone full of the sweetness of a little woman, "You can apply for other countries to grant you the title of nobility. Anyway, you also have the support of foreign noble friends. When it happens, who will  Dare you interfere with your private life?"

    I was really stupid this time. I have encountered a lot of weird things during this period. I even had a fight with the people from the Gulebasto Cult, and I also had a few fights with the Gods.  ?, the research center is also built underground and covers a large area.

    Liu Yangyang parked the car at the door of the small white house. I smiled and pointed at my feet and asked, "Is this our future? From now on we will all become a race huddled beneath the surface of the earth?"

    Liu Yangyang did not argue with me. He just sighed and started pressing the password in front of the closed metal door of the small white room.

    "Our futuremaybe even worse than this."

    "That's when war is declared on the Protoss." I pointed out pointedly.

    "Do you think the gods will let us go when civilization develops to a certain extent?" When Liu Yangyang talked about this topic, his voice became less sunny. This was probably the result of his tutoring.

    I had nothing to say about this proposition, so I could only sigh slightly and walk into the small white room with him.

    The interior of the small white room is very clean. Outside of a lifting platform, everything is soft milky white, as well as some metal instruments and buttons. The whole style is like a science fiction movie.  I, a countryman, looked around as if I were entering a city. After admiring, I followed Liu Yangyang up to the lifting platform, waiting for this thing to send us down with a whoosh.

    It turns out that my imagination is not enough

    Just after we stood firm, Liu Yangyang asked me to grab the two railings in front of him, and then pressed a button with an upward arrow.

    There was a little sound above our heads, and then I saw that the milky white roof above my head actually opened.

    What's happening here?

    Liu Yangyang was very satisfied with my surprise, and said with a smile: "I was also scared when I came here for the first time, not going down, but going up."

    "Why?" I still don't understand.

    "Of course because not all ruins are underground"

    While the two of us were hurriedly saying a word or two, the platform beneath our feet had already risen into the sky, flying straight towards the empty sky along the white metal line that I just saw.

    It was then that I noticed that there were still some clouds above my head, and the blue was dotted with white clouds. It looked so normal and ordinary.

    Almost within seconds, I knew this was something special.  We almost plunged into the blue. The vast sky was actually an illusion?

    This is the first time I have been surprised since arriving in the capital. It seems that our understanding of the world is still too superficial.

    With a blur in front of my eyes, I easily felt that I had entered a completely different space.  Through a layer of phantoms made up of unknown principles, I saw a huge, ancient and desolate building complex. This is the real location of the Old Era Research Center.  Just now I guessed that this place should be underground, which is indeed a sign of poor imagination.

    Liu Yangyang nodded to me proudly: "You didn't expect that, did you?"

    I must admit, I didn¡¯t expect it.

    The lifting platform under your feet was completely thrown out after initially running on a track. After entering the phantom wall, it was steadily caught by a magnetic force and began to move at high speed along a new trajectory.

    This must be the result of precise calculation, otherwise the speed, power and landing point of the throw just now may cause terrible consequences.

    Seeing my nervous expression, Liu Yangyang showed a slightly superior smile again: "This is the difference between professional and civilian."

    I pursed my lips and nodded. There has been controversy over how much of the technology of the old era is used for civilian purposes. Now it seems that the best parts are still being retained.  Judging from the parabolic accuracy of our lifting platform just now, the private research and development of thermal weapons in various countries has probably reached an unimaginable level.

    Maybe, this is another way for humans to fight against the gods?

    As I kept moving forward along the track, huge and rough buildings passed by me one by one.  Only in the depths of these buildings that have existed for who knows how many years can truly modern-style buildings emerge.  I almost didn't have to look carefully to tell that the man standing there to greet us was Liu Yangyang's scholarly father who didn't talk much.  .
