Clow Cards Cardcaptor

All the troubles ended last night. Sitting opposite the elders on the balcony of the garden, relaxing and feeling the gentle night breeze, I heard Shui Linlang ask,

"What are your next plans..."

While holding the biscuits and snacks and eating them, Fangran lightly scratched his cheek with his fingertips and thought for a moment, then chuckled and said:

"Since there is nothing wrong, I should stay in the capital. Otherwise, if I run around and cause trouble again, I'm afraid Ling will beat me to death when she wakes up..."

Thinking about his experiences in the past month or so, he sighed helplessly and laughed.

"And I feel like I haven't had any leisure time for a long time. I want to have a peaceful campus life for a while. Peking University is a prestigious school that I never dared to think about before."

“I’ve imagined how great it would be to go to school there more than once, so it would be a waste not to experience it now.”

At the beginning of the new semester, after rushing out of the school gate in the bonfire, the time in school is almost zero. Counting the classes skipped by selling shaved ice during the military training, the campus life is even more empty.

Whenever I think about how many times I will be called out, and my usual performance that is probably terrible,

Fangran was silently ashamed.

"Anyway, let's just recuperate first. After what happened in Europe, I found that compared to genuine participants like Osphia,"

Sighing, his broken hair fluttering in the night wind, recalling this journey of losing his ability, he held the black tea cup in both hands and smiled quietly:

"I still have a lot to learn."

Looking at the young man's figure in the night breeze on the garden balcony, it was different from last time. Shui Linlang only felt a sigh of complicated feelings:

"Then after the injury heals, do you plan to go to Midnight?"

In a daze, I can still remember that when I first came here, Shui Linlang asked the same question,

"Um,"

Fangran thought about the midnight invitation Qian Ming sent him last night, and nodded decisively this time.

"Although I don't know why that senior invited me, I feel like there must be something important."

Because he has decided to move forward.

"As for other invitations, I haven't thought about it yet..."

Thinking of the 'similar people' he met by chance at the Paris Ball Manor, Fangran suddenly felt a headache and sighed softly. Shui Linlang chuckled, revealing a hint of emotion as she remembered his previous rejection:

"Okay, when you are ready, I will help you make arrangements to go to Midnight."

"Sorry to trouble you, Grandma Shui."

After just a while, I already had no hesitation in calling a figure who was only slightly older than me, "grandma". I have to say that habit is a terrible thing.

Fangran drank the last sip of black tea as usual and stood up before she planned to 'encourage' herself to go for a night attack.

"Is there nothing else? Do you want to sit here for a while?"

Beside the tea table, the girl with a charming smile looked at Fangran who was getting up, her eyes blinking with intelligence.

"Otherwise, you can stay here tonight. I'll ask the butler to take you to the 'guest room'."

"No..."

She could completely imagine that the guest room she was taken to happened to be in the same room as a certain girl, and then Shui Linlang watched that scene through the water mirror and snickered interestingly,

Fangran answered helplessly, then picked up the silver crutch leaning against the tea table and turned it into dragon wings spread out on his shoulders.

Then, just before he was about to leave from the garden balcony, Fangran seemed to suddenly remember something. He stopped and looked speechlessly at the smiling figure at the tea table.

"Speaking of which...Grandma Shui, you have been deceiving me since the first time I came here, right..."

"Is there any? I don't remember. What do you mean?"

Hearing what he suddenly said, the 'girl' blinked her eyes and looked confused.

"I remember when I came here with Sister Ye Sheng, Grandma Shui, you told me that we should not stay in daily life and learn to grow. You invited me to be the night watchman at midnight,"

"The words reveal the power of 'infinite',

The feeling that I should become stronger and save the world. "

Recalling what Shui Linlang said when he first came here, Fangran looked at Shui Linlang speechless and helpless, with a look of 'What are you talking about, I don't know':

"But it turned out later that Granny Shui, you just wanted me to avoid that night. The same happened in Europe this time. You always wanted me to come back and stop participating."

-'Whether I want you to become a night watchman, or tell you something you want to know, or let Night Crow join the night bureau, it is at best a way for me to get you to settle down'-

Recalling what she heard her say before boarding that Nordic flight, Fangran chuckled helplessly:

"Compared with what you said at that time, Grandma Shui, it seemed like you were trying to stop me. You hoped I wouldn't grow up so fast."

It was only after meeting Vallin that I realized this. She was also the leader of the elders. Compared with the selfless nature of the queen, as a senior participant and pure life guidance and advice,

Shui Linlang always has a special sense of 'protection' towards herself.

Thinking about it now, those words may have taken advantage of my rebellious attitude at the time...

"Yeah, is there any?"

Wearing a long skirt of green bamboo and white cloth, Shui Linlang asked pretending to be stupid, Fangran silently watched the elders who were 'pretending to be young',

"And I always feel that Grandma Shui, you take too much care of me. Why?"

"Um...."

Then he looked at her prolonging her voice and pretending to think, and then as if she had thought of it, she intertwined her fingers on her chin and smiled:

"Out of care for my future grandson-in-law?"

I knew this was the answer again (rolling eyes)...

There was nothing he could do about Shui Linlang's already well-established Qingqi prevarication. Fangran sighed with some laughter and said goodbye to her again.

Then the dragon wings on one side of his shoulders spread out and flew from the balcony into the night.

Watching Fang Ran leave the garden, Shui Linlang kept smiling softly until his figure completely disappeared, and then slowly dispersed.

It turned into a complicated sigh deep in his eyes.

The water mist rose and was blown away by the night wind. The girl in the bamboo skirt from the night society disappeared and transformed back into the figure of a prophet who has experienced a century of glory.

"What a keen kid..."

The chuckles she had when facing the juniors all disappeared, Shui Linlang just whispered to herself with a sigh,

Fangran was right, she really didn't want Fangran to grow up too quickly.

So Shui Linlang has been trying to prevent Fangran from encountering those incidents, or...

Prevent him from encountering that 'coincidence'.

But she couldn't do it. She couldn't leave the garden, and she couldn't say certain things. What she could do was too weak. She could only look at the young man.

After experiencing crisis after incident, it has grown vigorously and extremely rapidly.

Toward the reason why she did this, the mistake she made when she was overconfident,

The ending she didn't want to see again was unrelenting.

As a prophet who can foresee destiny, the most irresistible thing is destiny itself.

"Have you grown to this point...?"

Thinking about Fangran's more mature chuckle just now, and regaining his wish, he became more and more like him when he was a child. He recalled that he stood in front of the door sadly and shouted that he didn't want to grow up.

Shui Linlang, who originally thought it would be a long time, suddenly realized that it had been a long time since he actually met her for the first time.

It may be getting closer.

"Still unable to change the trajectory..."

Shui Linlang raised her head and looked at the night where Fang Ran left. Her eyes were extremely complicated, why was she smiling bitterly, and then she summoned the divination astrolabe with mysterious light spots.

Countless star illusions are swaying, and there are seven most critical 'keys' beside the main star orbit.

Comparable to the initial 'strength' and the subsequent 'advance', the most massive 'bond' has already lit up,

‘Love’ is flashing mysteriously,

The ‘past’, ‘collapse’, and ‘awakening’ have remained unchanged;

Beyond that, nothing can be predicted.

Shui Linlang watched this scene in silence, then waved her hand to disperse the illusory astrolabe.

Another picture takes its place,

It was a strong fire that broke the quiet tone of the garden at night!

Burning garden! Burning city! Burn the entire land and plains! Under the dark night, the blazing red prairie fire spread across the night sky, the prosperity turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the flaming waves rolled and expanded into an infinitely open blazing red battlefield.

It seemed like the whole world was on fire!

In this apocalyptic blazing red illusion, only the balcony where Shui Linlang was sitting remained intact. She watched with complex eyes silently.

The center of this vast plain of fire is like the top of the night,

The dark young man's burning clothes were tumbling and dancing, holding the silver dragon sword and holding the golden spear smelted by red flames, as if he were nailing the fire that was burning the world...
