depicting time

The drive between Lianchun and Shouchun was long, and there was still an hour before the reunion with Xu Hengyuan.

Xu Yan kept holding on to the phone tightly, afraid that Xu Hengyuan would send a message or call again.

When getting into the car, Xu Hengyuan sent a WeChat message, the content was a picture, and the shooting location was their old house in Shouchun.

Here, the three of them have spent 16 years together.But most of what remained in Xu Yan's mind were his memories of being alone.

Xu Hengyuan attached a sentence after the picture, "It's been a long time since I came back here, and I suddenly miss my familiar home."

After Xu Yan read the news, he felt a sense of resistance. He was afraid of Xu Hengyuan's false approach.

The reason why Xu Hengyuan suddenly returned to Area A, Xu Yan is still not clear, but he can be sure that it is not for the reminiscence between father and son.After all, there has never been a father-son relationship between them.

Xu Yan sighed helplessly, scrolling through the contact list in WeChat.

Zhang Juanning's last chat record with him was to send him Liang Yu's wedding date.In fact, Zhang Junning did a lot better than Xu Hengyuan in terms of hypocrisy.

At least she won't make Xu Yan feel disgusted all the time, and sometimes she will make Xu Yan who knows everything willingly fall into the trap of tenderness.

As for Xu Hengyuan, in his memory, it seemed that he had never expressed any affection for him. He was so cruel that he hardly showed any affection.

This time, he suddenly changed his principles and threatened him with an unwarranted father-son relationship...

What exactly is it for?

Xu Yan couldn't help looking at Song Ting who was driving, and asked softly, "Song Ting, what will he tell me?"

Song Ting kept staring ahead, and said in a calm tone, "He may say a lot of strange things to you, but the ultimate goal is only one, please help him save someone."

Xu Yan asked unexpectedly, "Save people?"

He could only guess that Xu Hengyuan wanted something from him, but he didn't expect that his request would be for another person.

Song Ting replied, "Gao Shengcheng told Xu Hengyuan that you have the ability to enter space-time fragments to save victims."

Regardless of who Xu Hengyuan wanted to save, Xu Yan was a little skeptical, "Would he really believe what Gao Shengcheng said? Do you think I have the ability to help him?"

Xu Hengyuan was not so easy to trust others before.

Song Ting nodded, "Xu Yan, he completely treats you as a lifeline now."

Song Ting didn't want to mention what Xu Hengyuan said when he claimed to be a 'father', so he could only say to Xu Yan, "You don't have to think of him as your father, the current Xu Hengyuan is exactly the same as the friends or family members of those victims. Knowing that you are a space-time restorer, he will go crazy and want to find you, beg you, and hope that you will use your ability to rescue the person he wants to see."

Song Ting tried his best to prepare Xu Yan to face Xu Hengyuan, "Now Xu Hengyuan will lose his mind and do many unprincipled things in order to appeal to you. Do you understand?"

Xu Yan was silent for a long time, the defense line in his heart almost collapsed at a certain moment, he really didn't want to face Xu Hengyuan like this.

But in the end he struggled over, calmed down, and replied, "I see."

Song Ting knew that he was in a difficult situation, and the journey was particularly slow, leaving Xu Yan more time to prepare.

The old house in Shouchun is very close to No. [-] Middle School in District A, and it takes only two bus stops to get there.

Xu Yan saw the familiar No. 19 bus outside the car window. It was the bus he used to take to and from school every day in high school, which instantly aroused many memories.

Only then did Xu Yan truly realize that he was going back to that home.

Song Ting couldn't show up for the time being, so he could only send Xu Yan downstairs in the community.Before Xu Yan got out of the car, he worriedly told him, "When the time comes, just call me up, don't hold on."

Song Ting also asked him to keep the small communication device on his body, "Make sure I can hear your voice at any time and contact you at any time."

Xu Yan replied, "Yes, don't worry. Whether it's Gao Shengcheng or Xu Hengyuan, they won't hurt me at this time."

He got out of the car and walked into the apartment building under Song Ting's gaze.

Xu Yan's fingerprints were always left inside the door of the old house. With a light touch of his finger on the doorknob, the locked door opened.

At this moment, Xu Yan didn't know whether he was more nervous or the person standing in the room waiting for him was more nervous.

Xu Hengyuan has been wandering back and forth in the living room. When he heard the door unlocked, he stopped walking back and forth immediately, his eyes fixed on the direction of the door. At this moment, his mood is indeed much more nervous than Xu Yan's.

Xu Yan took the initiative to walk into the living room, and the moment he met Xu Hengyuan's eyes, Xu Hengyuan was so excited that he was almost speechless, and even wondered if the person in front of him was real, "Xu Yan, you're really here!"

Seeing him in person, Xu Yan calmed down a lot.

The fear he had left for Xu Hengyuan in his fantasy had long since disappeared.

Xu Yan showed an unpredictable smile, "Didn't you invite me here? Dad."

Xu Hengyuan was a little surprised when he heard him call him 'Dad'.

When he left, Xu Yan clearly told him, 'I won't have you as a father in the future. '

Their parting was bleak, and their reunion was another accident.

Xu Hengyuan suddenly felt a little complicated in his heart, sighed in his heart and asked Xu Yan to sit down, "Let's talk slowly."

The two sat far away, and the alienation between them could not be ignored, but Xu Hengyuan still tried to find out about Xu Yan's recent situation, to show his concern for his children as a father. "Do you usually live here? I think the house is quite clean."

Xu Yan replied, "I don't live here, but I will hire someone to clean it."

Immediately, this topic could not be continued, Xu Hengyuan asked again, "Then do you and your mother often meet?"

Xu Yan replied, "It's not a frequent meeting. I'm busy with work now, so I have to stay by my boss's side all the time."

Xu Hengyuan asked in surprise, "Changed jobs? Stop being a teacher?"

Xu Yan smiled and nodded, "Yes, Dad, didn't you see the circle of friends I posted a few months ago? I have quit my school job."

He knew that Xu Hengyuan would not pay attention to these things, so he still mentioned them.

It's something similar to 'revenge' at work.

Xu Hengyuan showed a little embarrassment, which was an expression he would not have had before.Xu Yan was very surprised when he saw it.

What was even more surprising was that Xu Hengyuan had some guesses from this, "Why did you suddenly resign... for some reason that cannot be said?"

Xu Yan hid the sneer on his face, and replied, "There is no reason why I can't say it. It's because I want to change my life style. It just so happens that the president of Xinghai values ​​my ability, so I naturally accepted this job." Work."

The expression on Xu Hengyuan's face froze, "Xinghai? Song Ting?"

He didn't expect Xu Yan to be Song Ting's subordinate. Remembering Song Ting's special concern for Xu Yan, Xu Hengyuan doubted, "Xu Yan, are you and Song Ting really just a relationship between a boss and a subordinate?"

Xu Yan replied directly, "No."

But he said indifferently, "But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."

Hearing Xu Yan's words, Xu Hengyuan finally understood that his false condolences had no effect.

"Dad, do you really want to reminisce about the past with me when you came to me today? If it's really a reminiscence between father and son, I don't mind telling you the story between me and Song Ting in detail."

Xu Yan's words almost caused the situation between the two of them to collapse.

Xu Hengyuan was silent for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Xu Yan, "Xu Yan, did you really resign suddenly just to change jobs? There is no compelling reason..."

He felt that his question was too tactful. Since Xu Yan took the initiative to interrupt their reminiscence, he might as well just explain why he came.

"I ask you, do you have the ability to rescue those trapped in time?"

Xu Yan touched his ears, looked at him blankly, and asked, "Where did you come up with such an idea?"

Xu Hengyuan stared at the expression on Xu Yan's face and said, "Someone told me that you are a space-time restorer and you have the ability to save those people."

Xu Yan's reaction was too calm, and he directly denied, "I don't have such ability."

Xu Hengyuan completely ended their reminiscences, and the tension between father and son entered again. He didn't believe Xu Yan's answer, "Why didn't you? I should have thought of this in the first place! Obviously you are also a trapped person, why? You can come out safe and sound, but others can't? It must be because of your special ability!"

Xu Hengyuan suddenly mentioned an experience that Xu Yan didn't remember. Surprise flashed in Xu Yan's eyes, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

But he remembered Song Ting's instructions, "No matter what Xu Hengyuan told you, don't believe it immediately. If you want to hear the answer, just ask me."

Xu Yan calmed down, and said to Xu Hengyuan, who had long lost his composure, "Dad, I repeat, I don't have the ability."

For some reason, Xu Hengyuan trusted Gao Shengcheng's words.Still in disbelief, "Are you still lying to me? At the beginning, I trusted you so much that I really believed that you escaped by accident!"

Xu Yan frowned, and said coldly, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Now Xu Hengyuan realized that his persecution could not yield results, so he changed his tough attitude and begged, "Xu Yan, this time I beg you, please help me!"

"For so many years, I have never begged you for anything... Just this time, please help me...

There was still a constant distance between the two of them, but Xu Hengyuan looked at him with a little more desire to get closer.

Xu Yan felt that Xu Hengyuan was really crazy, to talk to him in such a humble tone.

... Who on earth could make him care so much?

"Xu Hengyuan, I can't understand a single word you're saying now. Don't you know my abilities the best?"

"It wasn't you who kept saying to me from a young age, 'I know better than anyone else what your abilities can be.'"

Xu Hengyuan responded, and asked in turn, "Yes, I thought I knew my son well enough. But I didn't expect that he would hide it from me when he clearly has the ability to save people!"

Xu Yan still didn't miss a word, and showed an attitude that he felt puzzled by his accusation, "We have lost contact a long time ago, what can I hide from you?"

Xu Hengyuan was cornered, lost all his poise, and shouted loudly, "Xu Yan, don't forget! He was trapped inside because of you!"

Another non-existent memory made Xu Yan stunned for a moment, but he would not fully believe Xu Hengyuan's words.

At this moment, Xu Hengyuan realized his strange reaction, and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you have lost your memory for so many years and still haven't remembered the past?"

Xu Yan said, "My memory is very complete."

Xu Hengyuan said eagerly, "Then you should remember him!"

Xu Yan asked with a sneer, "Who is he to me? Why should I remember him?"

Xu Hengyuan couldn't answer this question.
