Although his hair is gray, his gait is steady, his breath is even, and he feels more energetic than many young people.

After meeting Chu Yanran, Wang Yi stepped forward to shake hands very warmly and said, "Hello, Ms. Chu." ”

Chu Yanran was a little surprised, because looking at Wang Yi's posture, he seemed to know that he was coming, but in fact, Chu Yanran's meeting with Wang Yi was completely unexpected, and Wang Yi was not in Chu Yanran's action plan at all in advance.

"Hello ......"

Wang Yi glanced at Zhang Fengyu beside Chu Yanran, and then said softly: "It's not convenient to talk here, please follow me to the study." ”

Chu Yanran was even more surprised, but inexplicably felt as if she had found the right person, she looked at Zhang Fengyu beside her, Zhang Fengyu was still silent, completely losing the enthusiasm she had many years ago.

Follow Wang Yi through a small courtyard and come to the study room located by the lake.

As soon as she entered the house, Chu Yanran was attracted by something.

It is a painting placed on the desk in the middle, and the person in the painting is standing in the blank space, but the glimpse floats as if he is in an ethereal sea of fog, and this artistic conception fully reveals the artist's skills.

When she got closer, Chu Yanran suddenly felt that the person in the painting was a little familiar, and when she looked at it carefully, wasn't this Yougege?

After noticing Chu Yanran's gaze, Wang Yi said: "This painting is from Xiaorou's hand. ”

"Xiaorou?"

"Well, Liu Panyang's daughter, Liu Yinrou."

Chu Yanran was stunned, and then there was a set of information in front of her, this Liu Yinrou is fifty-two years old and is a very famous master of Chinese painting.

No wonder Chu Yanran felt that this painting was extraordinary after just one glance.

It's just that why did Liu Yinrou draw You Gege's back? Does she know the whereabouts of You Gege? As soon as the strange idea appeared, I listened to Wang Yi and explained: "The person in this painting is seen in Xiao Rou's dream, I look very familiar with it, and the charm of the game is cheeky." ”

What do you see in your dreams?

Chu Yanran was even more surprised, but seeing that Wang Yi had picked out the word "like", Chu Yanran couldn't say that the person in the painting was You Gege, after all, ...... It's just a backdrop.

After looking at the paintings on the table, the three of them sat down at the small table by the window, and there were already waiters waiting with tea.

The hot tea was filled with a quiet aroma, which calmed Chu Yanran's restless mood a little.

After sitting for a while, without waiting for Chu Yanran to explain her specific intentions, Wang Yi spoke first: "Ms. Chu, you are here to find Gege's whereabouts, right?" ”

Chu Yanran was slightly stunned, then put down the cup and said, "Well, I really want to meet her." ”

Wang Yi nodded, and then said with a wry smile: "That...... You may be disappointed, we have been looking for her for decades, but she has gone too resolutely, no one has been notified, and no clues have been left. ”

Chu Yanran listened to it, and realized that there was something in these words, so she asked rhetorically: "Too resolute?" Be...... What do you mean? ”

Wang Yi replied, "What is your impression of Gege?" ”

Chu Yanran thought back to the days when she got along with You Gege, and then said, "She...... Actually, people are very good, not as withdrawn as they imagined, but ...... I always felt that she had a lot of secrets, and no matter how close I was, there was always an insurmountable distance from her, plus ...... Her thoughts are a little extreme, so I can't get too close......"

Wang Yi was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said, "That's ...... Why do you want to meet her now? ”

Chu Yanran was stunned, and then was stunned.

Oh, yes...... Why is it that after returning from Gaia, what I miss in my heart is neither grandpa nor Yilin, but You Gege?

What is the charm of this woman who seems to live forever in her own world that makes me unconsciously want to get close to her and let her give me answers?

What exactly is the answer I'm looking for?

Is it about the meaning of destruction? Or is it the future of humanity? Or rather...... I just wanted to ask her, what secrets did she get from her contact with the Precursors that no one else knew?

After all the confusion condensed together, Chu Yanran suddenly realized that what she was looking for was not You Gege, but the meaning behind all this back and forth.

Spiritual leap, reality stripping, what really happened between Gaia and Earth?

Seeing that Chu Yanran was silent, Wang Yi seemed to understand something, he looked at Zhang Fengyu and said, "It's a lot safer to have you go out with Ms. Chu, but it seems that ...... You don't seem to have a lot to tell her, do you? ”

Zhang Fengyu was still indifferent when he heard this, but Chu Yanran looked at him in surprise.

Yes, after Chu Yanran was found by them, Chu Yanran successively met the so-called Li Shaoan's spiritual carrier M Li, Fu Yihan, who was genetically modified by eternity, and Zhang Fengyu, who was silent.

But until now, Chu Yilin and others have not been seen.

Although Chu Yanran has been avoiding this question, it doesn't mean that she doesn't want to know if Chu Yilin is still alive.

Zhang Fengyu saw that Chu Yanran had been staring at him, and only said softly after a while: "Yilin joined the AOA and disappeared with You Gege. ”

Chu Yanran's heart trembled when she heard this, she never thought that the question she avoided would be the answer.

"How is that possible? How did Brother Yilin join AOA?! Chu Yanran grabbed Zhang Fengyu's hand and asked eagerly.

Zhang Fengyu was silent for a while, and then said lightly: "Because he believes ...... Only AOA has the power to bring you back to him. ”

Chu Yanran's expression froze.

Wang Yi sighed lightly and motioned for the waiter to fill in the new tea.

After a long time, Chu Yanran came to her senses...... But it seems that everything is directly related to the First Impact, and the secret behind this spiritual exchange between Gaia and Earth.

Even...... It is directly related to the future fate of mankind that she does not know yet.

And it seems that as long as she agrees to sign the "final agreement", all the truth will come out.

But...... Chu Yanran did not rush to sign the "final agreement", because she had her own plans.

After staying in Wang Yina for a short time, Chu Yanran, who basically got nothing, took a copy of the painting and got on the plane to Guilin, she wanted to find Liu Yinrou and talk to her about the world she saw in her dreams.

……

On the way to Guilin, Chu Yanran didn't say a word to Zhang Fengyu again, but she was not angry, but began to be afraid, afraid that the Zhang Fengyu sitting next to her was not the person she was familiar with at all.

He may just be a stranger with Zhang Fengyu's skin, and he is monitoring her every move.

……

After arriving at Guilin Airport, Chu Yanran and Zhang Fengyu saw someone waving to them as soon as they came out of the exit.

Zhang Fengyu glanced at it and walked straight to the man, Chu Yanran was a little inexplicable, but she had to follow.

When it was closer, Chu Yanran found that the person with the mask was a very beautiful girl.

She was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but she ......

"Hello, Aunt Chu, I'm Xiaorou, Uncle Wang Yi asked me to pick you up."

Chu Yanran was stunned: "Hey? …… Ay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ”

……

Another person like Tianshan Tong appeared.

Liu Yinrou, who is clearly marked as fifty-two years old on the file information, looks at it but is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she does not see the maturity of the years at all, she is completely a frozen girl.

And Zhang Fengyu seems to have known that Liu Yinrou is special for a long time, but he didn't say it.

In this way, Chu Yanran's impression of Zhang Fengyu is even worse, the Zhang Fengyu she knew before is completely a warm-hearted big brother, and he takes good care of her everywhere, but now this ...... How to look at how unpleasant!

After taking Liu Yinrou's private car to the small farm yard on the outskirts of Guilin City, Chu Yanran met Liu Panyang's sister Liu Yaning, who was already full of silver hair.

Compared with Wang Yi, the seventy-one-year-old Liu Yaning looks much older, but years of Qing cultivation make her complexion look good, but when she compares with Liu Yinrou again, Chu Yanran sighs more.

After entering the courtyard, Liu Yinrou walked away in advance, and Liu Yaning took the two guests to her room to sit for a while.

In that simple hut, Chu Yanran saw a gray and white photo of a young man resting behind the screen in front of Liu Yaning's window, and the photo was still dyed with incense and fruits, which seemed to mean a memorial.

Chu Yanran probably guessed the identity of this young man after just one glance......

He should be the proud protégé that You Gege said - Yan Haowen.

It's just that I didn't expect that so many years have passed, and Liu Yaning is still paying tribute to him.

What I didn't expect was that after Zhang Fengyu entered the house, he first went to Yan Haowen's photo to worship.

This made Chu Yanran a little at a loss, but fortunately, Liu Yaning smiled and said: "Today is Howen's birthday, I thought about it, so I made a small altar in the house, and I ask you to forgive me." ”

Chu Yanran's smile was a little stiff: "There is no thing, the deceased is the greatest." ”

Then a few people sat down in the house and chatted briefly about some daily topics, until Liu Yinrou came back, and then said the point.

……

"I'm sorry, Aunt Chu, we don't know where Aunt You went...... Over the years, many people have come one after another, but ...... I'm really sorry. Liu Yinrou could only say sorry after hearing the purpose of Chu Yanran's visit.

Chu Yanran was a little disappointed, but there was more than one end of her trip.

"That's right...... So, do you remember this painting? Saying that, Chu Yanran took out the copy she brought in her bag and showed it to Liu Yinrou.

Liu Yinrou nodded: "Well, I remember, but ...... This was probably painted by me five years ago, how did Aunt Chu know that there was such a painting? ”

Chu Yanran gave a general explanation of the ins and outs, and asked, "I also heard your Uncle Wang Yi say that this painting is based on the world you saw in your dreams, right?" ”

Liu Yinsoft said: "Well, yes. ”

"That'...... Did you have this dream by accident, or did you ...... Do you often dream about these things? Chu Yanran asked.

Liu Yinrou hesitated a little when she heard this, and she subconsciously looked at Liu Yaning.

Liu Ya squinted at the sun outside the house, and after noticing Liu Yinrou's gaze, she said softly: "Xiaorou, you can answer truthfully." ”

"Oh......" Liu Yinrou replied, "It's not by chance, but almost every night I fall into the same dream." ”
