Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 316 Looking Back
7:30 p.m., fixed-wing area.

The street lamps illuminate the small trees on the street, casting mottled shadows on the road.A few cicadas were lying on the tree, vibrating their eardrums and making cicadas.

Mo Yuankai took a cold shower in the locker room, changed into a loose shirt and sweatpants, and was walking slowly towards the parking lot.After entering August, the weather became hotter. He wiped the sweat from his head, regretting that he didn't let the car drive automatically, so he had to walk on foot.

"hot……"

Mo Yuankai got into the car, and the powerful air conditioner made him much more comfortable.He drove out of the parking lot and stopped next to the bus stop within a few steps.

Shi Yu Lianyi and Caldesia were sitting on the bench waiting for the bus, he rolled down the window and said with a smile: "Send you a ride?"

The woman in the top hat waved her hand: "Thanks, it's not the right way for you to go to our house."

"Idle is idle." Mo Yuankai looked at the young man in a suit beside her, "Shi Yulian will buy a car as soon as he is free, and taking the bus when going out with his girlfriend is a bit bad."

Shi Yu-jun smiled wryly and said, "I've mentioned it a long time ago...but Caldesia said that she wanted to enjoy her school days for a while longer, so it seems too precocious to drive."

"You are still worried about precocity, really." Mo Yuankai rolled up the car window, "Then I'll go back first."

Before the car window was closed, Caldesia suddenly said: "You are in a bad mood."

The car window stopped halfway, and Mo Yuankai's face was full of surprise: "How can it be? It's just a joke with Ah Ce, and it's not that he was really sour."

Caldesia wrapped her fingers around her hair, looking a little annoyed.

"It's not about this, it's about when you shoot sharks."

Mo Yuankai suddenly understood, he touched his chubby face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you all know that it's my old habit."

The tone of the woman in the top hat softened: "Gongsun Ce is so powerful now, and everyone's relationship is much better. There is nothing to worry about. You can fish with peace of mind."

"That's right, Badman is going to sell popsicles. It would be great if the world is peaceful." Mo Yuankai said with a smile, "Then I'll take a step first, bye."

The red sports car drove away, and Caldesia smacked her mouth as she looked at the passing car.

She grabbed Shi Yujun's shoulders and said, "Did you know that there is something wrong with Mo Yuankai? The sense of responsibility is as heavy as a mental illness. Every time something happens, he must be the first one. No one can follow him." Rob."

"So that's how it is." Shi Yulian suddenly realized, "He didn't get to participate in the shark fight, so he was a little disappointed."

"Is it difficult to understand?"

"It's not like... why Gongsun has the current personality, I understand a lot." Shi Yulian looked up at the moon in the sky and asked, "Speaking of it, my dear."

"You think I'm lukewarm to him?" Caldesia answered in advance.

"Haha, you don't seem too enthusiastic about Mo Yuankai."

"This guy has been chasing me for a long time before. It's a pity that I really don't call him. After 50 consecutive rejections, this guy finally gave up completely."

Shi Yulian was really taken aback.Not only amazed at someone's indomitable perseverance, but also amazed at how difficult his girlfriend is to beat.

"This is really... very understandable."

"Oh?"

"You are so beautiful and good-tempered, it's strange that you have never been pursued by boys." Shi Yu-jun took it for granted, completely ignoring that no one except him would think that someone has a good temper, "But I didn't expect it to be him ah……"

Caldesia smirked and tugged at her hair: "Think about his current girlfriend."

Knight Orianna also has short blond hair, is also a foreign woman, and has a good figure.

Shi Yulian suddenly realized: "The tendency to choose a spouse is clear at a glance."

"Do you understand why Gongsun Ce would be such an idiot?"

"Your ears are dazzling." Mr. Shi Yu sighed, "Would it be a matter of character to refuse?"

He knew that Caldesia was like this, and his opinion was always greater than all other conditions.He works very hard and is sincere and is a very good person, but if he doesn't like it, he just doesn't like it, and there is no possibility of being moved, unless the other party becomes the type she likes.

But after all, Mo Yuankai back then was supposed to be a strong and handsome handsome man, and it must be said that he was quite principled if he could implement this standard...

Caldesia asked back: "Listen to what he said just now, why did he default to asking you to buy a car and drive me? Why not default that I buy a car and I drive?"

"...If you really have a car, don't you still drive most of the time?"

"It's not your question or mine, it's a question of the main premise of thinking about the question! I really hate male chauvinists, and I don't like people like him who are so focused on saving the world. It's good to be friends, but never to fall in love." Impossible." Caldesia waved her hands again and again: "The boyfriend is handsome and strong, that's secondary! You must be gentle, educated, reasonable and listen to me!"

Handsome, powerful, gentle, well-educated, well-educated and very obedient, Mr. Shi Yu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

The lights of the bus gradually approached, and the two people who were about to get on the bus stood up from their seats.The headlights swept to the side of the road, illuminating a passerby looking around.

Caldesia opened her mouth wide in surprise, and ran over with her boyfriend: "Hey!? You're not..."

"Ah! Good evening, Miss Caldesia, Mr. Reiichi Shigure."

The lingua franca of passers-by is the standard Wangdu accent, but they don't speak fast, and their tone is not as serious as the gentlemen's. It has a soft smell, which makes the air seem to soften.

"It's a bit embarrassing to say... I seem to have lost my way."

·
7:35 p.m., The Thorns.

Gongsun Ce stood at the door of his house, surrounded by three women behind him.He turned around first, clasped his hands together, and begged, "Please let Mr. Gongsun sleep in bed for a night!"

"Yes, yes." Shi Yuling said maliciously, "Which bed do you want to sleep in?"

"...Is the white matter bed okay?"

"Let's discuss this issue slowly after we get home." The eldest lady opened the door first, and walked in with a wow.Gongsun Ce shrunk his neck, grinned, entered the house, and went into his room to flip through his clothes.

"Speaking of which, Gongsun Ce." Qi Luo's voice came from the living room, "I've been curious since before, why does Gongsun Ce have the ability of white matter?"

"This matter dates back to three years ago..." Gongsun Ce replied habitually, his heart moved.

He always said three years ago, but now it's already the beginning of August.Returning from the Kingdom happened in mid-August of that year, and after that, there was the fierce battle recalled in Mingxi’s dream, the three years of high school, and now the summer vacation after the freshman year...

In fact, it has been four years, but he subconsciously still thinks about "three years ago", as if time can always be frozen in a certain interval.But time never stops, and time does not wait for anyone.

"...Four years ago. I will tell you about this later..." Gongsun Ce corrected himself.He glanced at his desk as he changed his clothes. A letter was lying on his desk.

"Because it would take a long time to say..."

Gongsun Ce's voice gradually became weaker. He picked up the envelope, removed the sealing wax, and took out the long-awaited reply from it.

The reply this time was very short, not like her style.A few words are clear at a glance, but it takes him a few seconds to understand and react to the information.

"The voice is so low, what did you just say?"

Gongsun Ce subconsciously folded the letter paper and stuffed it into his pocket.He didn't even have time to pick out the clothes, he just grabbed the clothes and put them on, and rushed out of the room like a whirlwind.Gongsun Ce's mind went blank, he didn't even realize what he was talking about, let alone explain to them, only his voice echoed in the room, with obvious anxiety and haste.

"—I'm going out!"

The three ladies looked at each other with the same confusion in their eyes.

"What is this guy doing?"

"It doesn't seem like we're in a crisis..." Qin Qianbai mused, "In that case, Ah Ce will let us go together."

Just at this time, Qi Luo received a message from a friend. She picked up the phone and replied, "Hey, what's the matter, Caldesia... huh? Don't let Gongsun Ce call?"

·
At 7:35 p.m., fixed-wing area.

The intelligence dealer walked into the house, and the intelligent system he designed himself automatically turned on the lights before the owner came back.Mo Yuankai sat back on the sofa, and the big screen without a picture reflected him like a mirror.Looking at his obese appearance, he rarely felt a little lonely.

"...I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Mo Yuankai said to himself, "I've already adapted to retirement life... If there is no one around, there will be no one. Everyone will have their own new life. Back then, my younger brother now After returning to the saddle, there is no growth."

"You're just dreaming every day, it's unrealistic. What's the point of everyone standing still?... Oh, I'm really stubborn...I'm stubborn too? Yes, please take a break, okay? I want to rest, Thank you very much."

The intelligence dealer talked to himself for a while, as if he was communicating with an invisible friend in the air, like a psychopath.He took out a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator, opened the can and took a sip. The cold liquid passed down his throat, but he didn't feel much relief.

At this time, he had to admit that Caldesia was still quite perceptive, and he was not that happy... Maybe it was because everyone was so happy, which made him feel nostalgic for the past.

"Oh, how silly."

Mo Yuankai took out his phone, hesitated for a while, and dialed her number.It was only noon in the Kingdom at this point, so she should have time to gossip about things other than work.

"Good evening, Mo!"

The phone was connected right away, and the girl's voice was full of surprise and joy, which immediately made him feel better.

"Good evening, Orianna."

"You haven't called me for a long time, sir." The girl said reproachfully, "It must be too busy at work, isn't it?"

Mo Yuankai opened his mouth, but was speechless.He wiped his nose, and said guiltyly: "...I write letters regularly, so I'm worried about disturbing your work by calling."

"Ah, it seems that your worries suddenly disappeared today."

Mo Yuankai laughed twice: "I'm sorry, how should I put it... just... I really want to say a few words to you all of a sudden. I'm throwing a child's temper."

Orianna's voice suddenly became lighter, and the smell of resentment disappeared.

"Me too, sir!"

Mo Yuankai felt that this was a bit strange, it was simply not like her usual style.Generally speaking, Orianna would be a little shy when she heard this, or she would blame him for being childish first...

It seems that something is not right.He slowly thought about the source of the sense of disobedience, and found that Orianna said good evening to him at first, but it should be noon in the kingdom now...

Orianna said something to him, but Mo Yuankai, who was deep in thought, didn't pay attention.

"Sorry, Orianna." Mo Yuankai said with a smile, "I didn't hear clearly just now, what did you say?"

"Are you home, Mo?"

"Yes." Mo Yuankai rubbed his head, "I'm the only one at home."

"Oh, that would be great!"

The girl on the other end of the phone said cheerfully, "What I just told you is that my job has been made very, very much easier because of multiple events happening at the same time.

So, I have time to come to the capital of the sky to see you! "

Orianna is here?That would be great.that's so...

…………

………………?
... Orianna is here?
Orianna, are you coming? ? ?
"—!"

Mo Yuankai jumped up from the sofa, his mind sober, as if his skull had been lifted and a catty of peppermint oil poured into his head.This cold air was transmitted from the brain to the heart and ran through all the limbs, making him break out in cold sweat.He hurriedly ran to the door to strengthen the defense, and quickly muttered on the phone: "This is the knight Orianna, you may not know that I have moved to a new house and the house is also very messy, so you wait a moment and I will clean it up." I'll pick you up at the airport right away—”

"I can't wait to see you, Mo!" The young knight's words were full of the sweetness of reunion, "I'm at the door of your house now!"

"—Wooah!!"

Mo Yuankai let out a desperate cry, his hand was still in the air, but the handle of the door moved by itself!It was too late, just like time desperately moving forward without looking back, Mo Yuankai screamed and stretched out his hand, the doorknob turned automatically, and the door opened outward, revealing the scene outside the house under the starry sky——

And standing outside the door, her figure.

·
"~~!"

The knight Orianna excitedly used a small ability to change the door back to the state it used to be open.She was very nervous and full of anticipation. She could finally see that handsome, handsome and gentle man again, the hero in her heart!What will he say?What would he think?What a surprise night this should be, will he come over with a hug, or a kiss...?
The imaginative imagination made her heart beat unceasingly, as if she had returned to the good mood of her first love, and turned back into that girl who was full of spring.Orianna looked behind the wooden door and at her sweetheart's home, and said cheerfully, "Long time no see, Mo!"

"—Wooah!!"

She heard a strange cry.

Then, she saw the man who was reaching for the door.

Rustic shirts, dirty sweatpants, and big slippers on the feet.His black hair was as messy as a bird's nest, with a few grains of fine sand in it; his face was round like a pancake, and his two-tiered chin was still trembling; his legs were as thick as an elephant's, and a big lump of fat on his stomach was running smoothly. Shaking with inertia, her thick fingers held the phone next to her ear, which contained the words she just said.

"..."

The plump young man squeezed out a embarrassed smile and whispered.

"...Long time no see, Orianna."

Orianna rolled her eyes, her legs went limp, and she passed out on the spot.

Mo Yuankai leaped out, caught Miss Knight at the nick of time, and shouted: "Olianna, wake up, Orianna!!"

Orianna muttered unconsciously: "Oh...it's a dream..."

"It's true, it's not a dream—ah, no, it's just a dream! Don't wake up!!"

At this time, a gust of wind swept over, and the gray-haired young man fell to the door panting heavily.He saw the comatose old friend and his eldest brother at a glance, and immediately covered his cheeks and screamed harshly: "You pissed Orianna to death!!"

"I'm sorry for you to shut up, okay?"

"Give her artificial respiration!"

"Help me find a camouflage device if you have the time and talk!"

"What's the use of pretending after seeing it? It's better if I help you buy a fitness card urgently than continue to pretend, wait for death!"

Mo Yuankai's complexion suddenly changed, and he said with a sinister smile, "Okay, Ah Ce, I'll just wait for my death. As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly, but now it seems that the ancients did not deceive me. We two brothers really share our difficulties. I wish you the best of luck." You're lucky."

"Ah You--"

Gongsun Ce thought of a possibility that he didn't want to mention. He turned around quickly, wanting to look for some traces, wanting to detect some signs, but the moment he looked back, his eyes focused on the center, and he wanted to express it in a simple and straightforward way. The facts told him that he could not escape again.

She stood under the light of the street lamp, looking at herself calmly.She looks the same as when I first met her, still wearing her deerstalker hat and her overcoat, her hair is as white as snow, her bright gray pupils are shining with wisdom, and there is no politeness on her beautiful face smile.

Time seems to have left no traces on her, she is as beautiful and dazzling as ever.The scene in memory overlapped with reality for a moment, and he seemed to have returned to the time when they first met each other, but he was no longer dressed in black, he was no longer as impetuous and frivolous as before, and he could no longer speak the words at that time.

"Good evening, Ce."

She smiled lightly, speaking as plainly as he had heard too many times.

"Long time no see."

"Elandia..."

Gongsun Ce didn't realize what he was talking about, he didn't realize what he was doing.He just subconsciously stretched out his hand forward and touched the woman's face to determine whether it was a phantom in a dream.

The fingertips convey real feelings, she has always been a real existence, and there is never a trace of falsehood in her body.

Gongsun Ce suddenly wanted to cry, so he said softly:

"Long time no see."

The great wheel of time started to turn again at this moment, he knew that something was going to happen, and he must go to another place.But the memory in his mind started backtracking involuntarily, turning him into that wandering young man again, taking him back to that pure white city of glory four years ago...

Back to the summer they used to get along day and night.
