Neverland

Song Yan was calmer than Xu Muzhou imagined.

She heard Yan Cen and Xu Muzhou's intentions, then stood up calmly, took out a half-drunk bottle of dry white from the wine cabinet, and instructed Xu Muzhou to get a cup from the cabinet.

Xu Muzhou tremblingly took three wide-mouth glasses from the cupboard, and glanced at Song Yan several times during the process, fearing that she would suddenly attack and Yan Cen would be overwhelmed.

"I guessed it." Song Yan said calmly: "It's just that I didn't guess that Zhong Lu has already reached the point where she has to use the cleaning system."

Song Yan paused, and said softly: "...She misses me so much."

Xu Muzhou moved back step by step, and put the cup in his hand on the table.

The decoration of Song Yan's room is different from Yan Cen's. She faces the main entrance and sits behind a marble bar. There are three or four wine cabinets beside the bar, but now they are only half full.

Song Yan lowered her eyes, uncorked the bottle, and poured Yan Cen and Xu Muzhou each a glass of wine.

"What do you want to ask?" Song Yan said, "Tell me."

Xu Muzhou glanced at Song Yan's expression again.

He still hadn't forgotten what Song Yan looked like when she was forced to end the mission by Neverland, but the other party held her breath and would rather risk her life than admit her mistake.If you say that in just a few days, the other party has already thought about it, Xu Muzhou wouldn't believe it even if he killed him.

Compared with other children, Xu Muzhou matured a little earlier, and judged and examined himself earlier than his peers.Probably since junior high school, he has discovered that his sexuality is different from others, so that when facing a poor little girl like Song Yan who is forced to break up, he first has some incomprehensible feelings of "sympathy".

Unexpectedly, Yan Cen did not refuse, he pulled the wine glass closest to him to his front, raised his hand and took a sip.

"Quick decision, let's ask quickly." Yan Cen said: "After the questioning, you can continue to get drunk."

Song Yan raised the corners of her lips and smiled lightly.

Xu Muzhou suddenly discovered that Song Yan actually looks pretty when she smiles.Her appearance is not as gorgeous as Zhong Lu's, but her facial features are very delicate, and she doesn't look rough even with short hair.The corners of the eyes are slightly narrowed, giving him a very heroic appearance.

It's just that she smiled so lightly, her eyes fell into the void, and her laughter was scattered in the wind almost inaudibly, which sounded inexplicably sad.

Xu Muzhou felt a little uncomfortable.

In the end, it was Song Yan who spoke first. She shook her wine glass and asked, "When is your mission time?"

"The 24th year of the new era." Yan Cen said.

"It's been almost five years." Song Yan said.

There was deep nostalgia in her tone, as if just mentioning such a trivial news was enough for her to connect with those days.

"Your task time point is when the task target is 16 years old, until you are forcibly recalled to Neverland, two years and ten months have passed, and the task target is 19 years old." Yan Cen said: "Right."

"Yes." Song Yan said: "She was born in the New Era, counting the days, by the time you send it over, she should be almost her 24th birthday."

Before coming to see Song Yan just now, Xu Muzhou had already seen the background of the times.

The timeline of this task is very long, and it falls in the future, which is a long time in the future. He calculated it according to the year of his life, and estimated it to be more than 2600 years.

Although the ball is still the earth, the above configurations are quite different from Xu Muzhou's impression.Xu Muzhou was most impressed by the fact that a crustal earthquake a hundred years ago described in the data caused the original continental plate to shift, and the land was almost reorganized.

In this case, the ecological environment in the world and even the development of human society have been damaged.The disadvantages brought about by the development of technology have been well demonstrated in extreme environments.Human nature cannot stand any test in the last days, and morality is far less important than resources. As a result, wars have increased and social order has been rebuilt, so that human society has been in the flames of war for more than [-] years. Large and small areas of influence.

The calendar of the new era is counted from the signing date of the "handshake and peace" contract signed by the various forces that have formed a large scale.

The information on Neverland was incomplete, and Xu Muzhou only saw this.

"She is the target of the guiding mission, and she is the person who can control the development of that timeline." Song Yan said: "More than four years is enough for her to change and grow. I don't know what information I know is relevant to you. Is it useful."

"A little bit counts." Xu Muzhou said before Yan Cen could speak: "Or just chatting, it's nothing."

Song Yan was silent for a moment, her fingers twirling the wine glass, as if thinking about where to start.

Xu Muzhou could tell that Song Yan had a lot to say about that miraculous mission object.

"Qin...Wei, right?" Xu Muzhou tried to change the subject, and asked, "I just glanced at it in a hurry, so I didn't remember much."

"Yes." Song Yan said, "When I first met her, I wrote her name wrong."

Speaking of Qin Wei, Song Yan finally had some freshness on her face. She took a sip of wine and smiled slightly.

"Later, the little girl was not happy." Song Yan smiled in a low voice, and then said: "I said it several times, her name has a cursive prefix on it, it is Hua'er, not Feng."

Yan Cen opened his mouth, and just wanted her to start from the main point, when Xu Muzhou snapped his finger under the table quickly.

Yan Cen: "..."

The little fox who was newly promoted to a boyfriend is so bold that he even dares to do tricks during working hours.Group leader Yan dared not speak out, so he could only shut his mouth silently, lowered his head and took a sip of his wine.

"Hmm..." Xu Muzhou asked with a warm smile like a spring breeze, "And then?"

"Then I naturally had an intersection with her." Song Yan said: "She was born in a slum area... In the new era, human society is only divided into three places, the slum area, the black market, and the high-end area."

"Advanced area?" Xu Muzhou asked.

"The area controlled by the powerful, or the rich." Song Yan said: "In the new era, resources and the army represent everything, and they have the absolute right to speak. When I met Qin Wei, she was living in a poor In the small town at the junction of the district and the black market, her adoptive father drank heavily, and after drinking, he refused to recognize her relatives, and her life was not very good."

"Adoptive father?" Xu Muzhou asked, "Does she have no biological parents?"

"As you know before, the guiding task is different from the cleaning task. Because the task cycle is too long, our understanding of the timeline and real-time control are all carried out with the assistance of Neverland." Song Yan said: "That is to say, I don't know exactly what her life trajectory is...but until I returned to Neverland, we found some clues about her biological father."

"She was abandoned." Song Yan said: "I can only confirm this for the time being - she was entrusted to this adoptive father by her biological mother. According to her adoptive father, her mother held Qin Wei when she was still a baby. When I came to the town, I was in a hurry, as if I was avoiding someone."

Xu Muzhou and Yan Cen looked at each other, and then asked, "Who?"

"Her adoptive father didn't say anything... Later her adoptive father married her mother, so he raised Qin Wei together." Song Yan said: "Qin Wei's mother is very beautiful, and it should be because of this, so they got married without getting to know each other very well. .”

"It doesn't sound like a very happy childhood." Xu Muzhou commented.

"That's right." Song Yan finished drinking the wine in her hand, poured another glass by herself, and then continued: "Sorry...I can't give you any clues about her current life, I can only say these things trivia."

"Very good." Xu Muzhou said sincerely: "Knowing life experience is more important than anything else."

"Qin Wei's mother ran away from home ten years later and her adoptive father, but she didn't take her away." Song Yan said: "Since then, she has lived with her adoptive father. Qin Wei will go to the black market to find some second-hand The mechanical parts are exchanged for some money, which is used to exchange survival resources with the adoptive father."

When talking about Qin Wei, Song Yan obviously talked more, so Xu Muzhou didn't interrupt her.

"Xiao Muzhou, what's your expression?" Song Yan laughed and said, "Actually, her childhood wasn't necessarily happy, but it wasn't as difficult as you imagined. Generally speaking, they lived in peace."

"Actually, when I first met her in the timeline, she was like a little hedgehog." Song Yan said with a smile: "The temper is not very good, and it took a while to get acquainted with me."

Song Yan seemed a little drunk, her eyes were blank, she swung the wine glass casually, looking at the swaying wine inside, there was a glimmer of water in her eyes.

It seemed that only at this level could she barely reveal a little bit of her fragile emotions.

Xu Mozhou couldn't help but turned his head to look at Yan Cen. The employees of Neverland seemed to have iron-clad nerves, and so did Yan Cen. In Xu Muzhou's impression, he never seemed to lose control of his emotions.

"But after getting to know her, she's really cute." Song Yan said: "...she is the most worry-free task subject I have ever taken. She is very persuasive no matter what she says. The arrogance of a proud son."

"She likes me very much... No matter what happens, the first thing I think of is always me." Song Yan let out a long breath, her tone trembling: "I've been thinking, I'm leaving without saying goodbye , how much she must miss me."

Except for Yan Cen who drank half of the previous bottle of wine, the rest went into Song Yan's stomach together.Song Yan straightened up unsteadily from the countertop, and accidentally knocked over the empty wine bottle with her elbow. The bottle rolled down the countertop with a rumble, and Yan Cen reached out to catch it.

"She's drunk." Yan Cen put the bottle on the table and said to Xu Muzhou, "Let's go."

Xu Muzhou sighed, nodded, and followed Yan Cen to stand up.

"Sister Song Yan, let's go first." Xu Muzhou said.

"Yan Cen—" Song Yan stopped him: "Promise me one thing."

"What's the matter?" Yan Cen asked.

"She is timid." Song Yan said: "...don't scare her."
