All the waves ended last night, sitting opposite the elders on the balcony of the garden, relaxing and feeling the gentle night breeze, hearing Shui Linlang ask,

"What's next..."

was eating biscuits and snacks, Fang Ran scratched his cheeks with his fingertips and thought for a moment, and then said with a chuckle:

"Since there is nothing to do, I should stay in the capital all the time, otherwise if I run around and get into trouble again, I'm afraid that Ling will kill me when she wakes up..."

Thinking about the experience of the last month or so, he sighed and smiled helplessly.

"And I feel like I haven't been idle for a long time, and I want to live a peaceful campus life a little, but Beijing University is a famous school that I couldn't think of before,"

"I've imagined more than once that I would be able to go to school there, so it's a waste not to experience it now."

At the beginning of the new semester, after rushing out of the school gate in the bonfire, the school time is almost zero, counting the classes that sell shaved ice during the military training, it is even more a blank campus life.

Whenever I think of how many times I don't know how many times I will be named, and my usual results that are estimated to be miserable,

Fang Ran was silently embarrassed.

"In short, let's recuperate honestly first, after experiencing this European thing, I found that compared with a genuine participant like Osfia,"

Sighing, his broken hair fluttering in the night breeze, recalling this incapacitated journey, he held the black tea cup in both hands and chuckled quietly:

"I still have a lot to learn."

Looking at the figure of the young man in the night breeze on the balcony of the garden at this moment, it was different from the last time, Shui Linlang only felt a light sigh of complicated feelings:

"And then when your injuries heal, are you going to go to midnight?"

In a trance, I can still remember the first time I came here, Shui Linlang also asked the same thing,

"Hmm,"

Fang Ran thought about the midnight invitation that Qian sent to him last night, and this time he nodded resolutely,

"I don't know why that senior invited me, but I always feel that something important should be there."

Because, he has decided to move forward.

"As for the other invitations, I haven't thought about them yet...."

Thinking of the 'same kind' he met in the Paris Ball Manor, Fang Ran suddenly felt a headache and sighed, Shui Linlang chuckled, revealing a little emotional whisper when he remembered his previous refusal:

"Well, when you're ready, I'll help you arrange a trip to midnight."

"I'm sorry for you, Grandma Shui."

It's only been like this for a while, and I've been calling grandma no sluggishness to the figure that looks only a little bigger than myself, and I have to say that habit is a terrible thing.

Fang Ran routinely drank the last sip of black tea, and stood up before she was about to 'egg' herself to go to the night attack.

"Nothing else, do you want to sit down more?"

At the tea table, the smiling 'girl' looked at Fang Ran who got up, and her eyes blinked with agility.

"Otherwise, it's okay to stay tonight, and I'll ask the housekeeper to take you to the 'guest room'."

"No need..."

I can fully imagine the guest room I was taken to, 'just happeningly' to be in the same room as a certain girl, and then Shui Linlang looked at the scene through the water mirror and snickered interestingly,

Fang Ran replied helplessly, then picked up the silver cane leaning against the tea table, turning into dragon wings that spread out on his shoulders.

Then, at the moment before he was about to leave from the garden balcony, as if he suddenly remembered something, Fang Ran stopped and looked at the smiling figure at the tea table a little speechlessly.

"Anyway... Grandma Shui, you've been fooling me since I first came, haven't you..."

"Is there one? I don't remember, what do you mean? ”

Hearing him say this suddenly, the 'girl' blinked her eyes and looked dazed.

"I remember the time I came with Sister Yesheng, Grandma Shui, what did you say to me that you can't stay in your daily life all the time, you have to learn to grow, and invited me to be the night watchman in the middle of the night,"

"Reading between the lines reveals the feeling that with the power of 'infinity', I should become stronger and save the world."

Recalling what Shui Linlang said when he first came here, Fang Ran looked at it a little speechless and helplessly, with a look of 'What are you talking about, I don't know' Shui Linlang:

"But it turned out later, Grandma Shui, you just wanted me to avoid that night, and this time Europe too, always wanted me to come back and not participate in it again,"

-'Whether I want you to be the Night's Watchman, or tell you what you want to know, or get the Night Raven to join the Night, that's at best a means I want you to settle down'-

Thinking of this sentence that I heard her say before stepping on that Nordic flight, Fang Ran chuckled helplessly:

"Compared to what you said at that time, Grandma Shui, it seems to be stopping something, I hope I don't grow up so fast."

It was only after meeting Verrin Yin that Fang Ran thought of this, who was also the leader of the elders, compared to the queen's selflessness, as a participant's predecessor, pure life guidance and advice,

Shui Linlang always has a special meaning of 'protection' for herself.

Now that I think about it, those words may have taken advantage of my rebellion at the time...

"Ah, is there one?"

In the long skirt of green bamboo and white cloth, Shui Linlang asked a rhetorical question with a stupid face, and looked at the elders who were 'pretending to be tender' silently.

"And I always feel that Grandma Shui, you take too good care of me, what is the reason?"

"Hmm...."

Then I watched her drag out her tone and pretend to think, and then as if she had thought of it, she put her fingers on her chin and smiled:

"Out of care for your future grandson-in-law?"

I knew it was the answer again...

There is no way to prevaricate against Shui Linlang, who has formed a routine, and after Fang Ran sighed a little, he said goodbye to her again,

Then the dragon's wings spread out on one side of the shoulder, and flew out into the night from the balcony.

And watching Fang Ran leave from the garden, Shui Linlang kept smiling softly, and only slowly dispersed after his figure disappeared completely,

It turned into a complex sigh in the depths of his eyes.

After the mist rose and was blown away by the night wind, the appearance of the girl in the bamboo skirt in the night club era disappeared, and she changed back to the posture of a prophet who had gone through a century of elegance.

"What a perceptive child...."

The chuckle when facing the juniors all disappeared, and Shui Linlang just sighed and whispered to herself,

Fang Ran was right, she really didn't want Fang Ran to grow too fast.

So Shui Linlang has been trying to prevent Fang Ran from encountering those incidents, or...

Prevent him from encountering that kind of 'coincidence'.

But she couldn't do it, she couldn't leave the garden, she couldn't say something, she could do too little, she could only watch the young man,

After one event crisis after another, the growth is vigorous and incomparably rapid.

To the reason why she did it, the mistake she had made with her overconfidence,

The ending she didn't want to see again.

As a prophet who can foresee fate, the most irresistible thing is fate itself.

"Have you grown to this point..."

Thinking of Fang Ran's more mature chuckle just now, he regained his wish, he became more and more like him when he was a child, recalling that he was standing in front of the door sad and shouting that he didn't want to grow up,

Shui Linlang, who originally thought that there would be a long time, suddenly realized that it was the first time he really met him.

It may be getting closer.

"Still can't change the trajectory..."

Shui Linlang raised his head and looked at the night where Fang Ran left, his eyes were extremely complicated and he smiled a little bitterly about what he was doing, and then summoned the divination astrolabe of the mysterious point of light,

Countless star illusions are swaying, and the seven most critical 'keys' next to the main star orbit.

Comparable to the initial 'power' and the subsequent 'advance', the greatest 'fetters' have been lit up,

'Love' flashes in mystery and obscurity,

'The past', 'Honkai', and 'Awakening' have not changed.

Other than that, nothing is prophesied.

Shui Linlang watched this scene silently, and then waved away the illusory astrolabe,

Another picture takes its place,

It was a burst of fire that broke the quiet hues of the garden's night!

Ember Garden! Ember City! Burn the entire plain of the earth! Under the dark night, the flames burned the whole night sky, and the prosperity turned into a sea of fire, and the scorching waves rolled and expanded into an infinitely open red battlefield.

It's as if the whole world is burning!

In this apocalyptic red illusion, only the balcony where Shui Linlang was located remained in its original appearance, and she watched silently with complex eyes,

In the center of this vast plain of fire, like the top of the night,

The flaming hem of the pitch-black young man's clothes fluttered wildly, carrying the silver dragon sword, and holding the golden spear smelted by the red flame, as if nailing the fire that burned the world...
