Chapter 794: Chapter 13 CC’s Vow (Added for Alliance Leader Feixue Xiao!)_3 Chapter 794: Chapter 13 CC’s Vow (Added for Alliance Leader Feixue Xiao!)_3 Eyes met.
Lin Xian saw the resolve and determination in CC’s eyes.
“If there were a man who would jump out of a plane for me, risk his life to save me…”
CC looked at Lin Xian, her voice clear:
“Then naturally, I would give everything for him, even unto death.”
The Tyndall effect of the sunlight, passing through the air filled with floating dust, landed between the two of them.
It separated their shadows, yet it also illuminated and fused them together.
A moment of tranquility only stirred a more fervent chirping of the cicadas.
It was like applause,
The breeze through the jungle brought a hint of damp earth fragrance, along with the sweet scent overflowing from flowers.
Butterflies and dragonflies flew through the sunlight between them, dazzling the eye and creating an illusion.
“It was the Bearded Man, VV, right?”
Lin Xian sensed the secret hidden in CC’s words.
“I’ve asked you several times before and got no answer, but why a single sentence from the Bearded Man, VV, can drive you to chase after the safe with such disregard for your life.”
“There must be a story between the two of you.
Whether deeply etched or unforgettable.
It seems like you’re talking about me, but in fact, it’s still that man whose one sentence changed the blueprint of your life…
the Bearded Man, VV.”
She turned away and continued to lead the way:
Her voice was a bit ethereal:
“But it’s the same for everyone, and the reasoning is the same too.
There will always be things worth risking our lives for, and always some people for whom we are willing to do so without a second thought.”
CC paused, walked around a huge tree that would take three or four people to encircle, and changed direction:
“Speaking of which, I noticed just now that you seem…
might not be quite accurate.
Or should it be maturity?
For your age, it might be more appropriate to say you’ve matured a bit.”
“In those two memory fragments about you, you were clearly younger than you are now, not just in your demeanor and behavior, but quite literally, in the youthfulness of your appearance.”
Lin Xian smiled without a word.
The first time he met CC in The First Dreamland, he was only 23, while CC was just a day shy of being 20.
CC was still a day shy of 20, never reaching it.
And he, he was already 25.
Time in the dreamland didn’t flow, but the march of time in reality never ceased.
when they would keep meeting in the dreamland,
CC ever so young, while Lin Xian aged more and more…
Thinking about what he’d look like as an old man,
Thinking about Wei Shengjin at 70, and Zheng Xiangyue at 116.
Lin Xian couldn’t help but laugh:
“That’s right, I have indeed aged a few years.
Maybe next time we meet in another world, I might have turned into the Bearded Man, VV.”
CC made a sound of disdain and quickened her pace:
“There you go again, being unserious.”
CC really did know the way.
She quickly led Lin Xian to familiar landmarks, and Lin Xian roughly knew the direction to Wei Shengjin.
Lin Xian pointed towards the southwest, and they ran quickly through the jungle.
they soon saw from a distance a figure bending over and closely scanning the ground with a Metal Detector.
Lin Xian waved and greeted from afar.
Hearing him, Wei Shengjin turned alertly, his right hand beginning to reach behind his waist.
“Teacher Wei, don’t get excited, hear me out.”
Lin Xian maintained a distance from Wei Shengjin and then spoke the lines he had prepared beforehand:
“We’re also here to find the safe.
Teacher Wei, we’re looking for Safe No.
66, its contents are also very important to us.”
“Let’s search together?
And I happen to know a place where a safe is buried.
It’s probably not yours or mine, but let’s try our luck anyway.”
Wei Shengjin was moved by Lin Xian’s sincerity and decided to follow him to the place supposedly where the Hafnium Alloy Safe was buried to explore.
He reached out wanting to shake hands with them:
“Young man, young lady, how may I address you?”
“My name is Lin Xian.”
Lin Xian pointed to himself and then to CC:
Wei Shengjin laughed merrily:
I’ll remember your names.
“Teacher Wei!” “Teacher Wei!”
Lin Xian and CC quickly took Wei Shengjin’s hand:
“We’ve heard so much about you, Teacher Wei, let’s just call you that.”
Wei Shengjin looked puzzled.
was just an ordinary college teacher, with no titles, and no significant inventions.
Was his name really that renowned?
“Teacher Wei, let me carry the bag for you.
Just follow our pace.”
Lin Xian switched to quick mode.
He took Wei Shengjin’s large backpack, slinging it over his shoulders, and began to lead:
“The safe is buried over there, there’s nothing all along this way, let’s speed up!”
Lin Xian and CC ran off as if time was of the essence.
This made Wei Shengjin anxious…
and he hurried after them.
“Hey, young folks, why the rush?
We’ve got all the time in the world!”
After running for a while, he started to breathe hard:
“Oh my, I can’t keep up with you young people…
Slow down, slow down, friends, it’s not like the world is ending tomorrow, what’s the hurry!”
