Clow Cards Cardcaptor

"Hey, what's wrong? You look like you didn't sleep well last night."

Time has accumulated gentleness and beauty, but it still retains the smart smile of youth.

The sea of ​​​​flowers in November withers after blooming at its most gorgeous, swaying in the early winter afternoon sunshine, waiting for the next bloom.

"ha...."

Sitting at the tea table on the open-air balcony, it was as warm as indoors. Listening to Shui Linlang's slightly teasing words,

Fangran couldn't help but smile bitterly despite the "dark circles" under his eyes, then he felt a headache and sighed:

"I just enjoyed the relaxation of recovering from my injuries for a while, and then I was caught in an inexplicable scene. It took me a lot of time to defeat the inexplicably difficult enemies and eliminate all other targets,"

"It was only ten minutes after I left the scene and I went to exercise my abilities as usual. I fell asleep for less than half an hour, and I woke up from a dream and didn't dare to close my eyes again..."

It was a much longer night than usual, and Fangran, who only slept for more than an hour, looked tired from the vicissitudes of life.

Of course, compared to the high-intensity practice of unleashing your abilities to destroy the sea of ​​numbered monsters and digesting the battle for five hours,

Or was it the dream in the morning that caused him to feel exhausted physically and mentally...

"Hehehe, it looks like a good night."

Looking at his complicated expression, Shui Linlang smiled happily and gracefully,

I suppressed the flashback of that dream forcibly, and I couldn’t even listen to the class well today.

Fangran looked silently at the smiling elder figure in front of him.

"Grandma Shui, why do you look so happy..."

"Yeah... I just feel like something has happened, and from my standpoint, I'm happy to see it happen."

Shui Linlang looked at his smiling reply and asked Fangran, who had already adapted to an elder like her, to drink tea silently.

"Anyway, after yesterday's recovery...Sister Su, cough! Come to school..."

Fangran said the title with a slight stumble, put down the tea cup, took a breath, looked at Shui Linlang's prepared face,

"Says my injury is completely healed."

"Yeah, that's great."

Then Shui Linlang responded with a smile and pretended to be stupid.

"Um...Grandma Shui, my injury has completely healed..."

After waiting for three seconds, Fangran didn't wait for the next step. Looking at Shui Linlang who was drinking tea and smiling, Fangran couldn't help but try to remind her again:

"Um...Grandma Shui, I mean my recovery is over."

"Then remember not to mess around again in the future. Speaking of which, Lian Xin finally went to find you a few days ago, right?"

She couldn't fault anything, but she still felt that the instructions from her elders were not suitable for her. Sure enough, Shui Linlang changed the topic with a smile in her eyes the next second?

Not hiding the smile that appeared on her lips at all, she pretended to be "as a grandmother, I'm very worried" and sighed:

"Since you sent her back last time, my simple granddaughter has been worried every night as if she suddenly grew up? Until recently, she finally made some determination."

Then after saying this,

Shui Linlang finally stopped hiding her true intentions? With an interested smile on her face, she became concerned about her granddaughter's 'scandal'.

"How was it? Did you make any progress on your date?"

"It's not a date...no! That's not the topic!"

When she mentioned the changes in that girl, she made her feel confused and overwhelmed.

Half of the words that he instinctively wanted to panic and deny suddenly came to his senses?

Fang Ran, who was almost abducted? He pressed his brows and pointed out loudly:

"Ziye! It's Ziye's business!"

Fang Ran has already discovered it? As long as Shui Linlang is not very 'happy to see it come to fruition', don't you tell her? She will always bring up some topics that make you shake with a smile, and he will act stupid regardless of his choice. ,

As for whether I will tell you in the end? That’s not necessarily the case.

But even if I knew this was the case,

But it's still a bit overwhelming to be asked this kind of thing by the grandmother of your crush in person.

"Huh? Midnight? What midnight?"

Listening to Shui Linlang's innocent inquiry, which was still pretending not to know, Fangran sighed and was unable to explain:

"It was the senior who invited me to go to Midnight. Grandma Shui, didn't you say you would help me arrange this?"

"Ah...right? And this thing? I didn't remember it until I got older."

You definitely didn't just remember...

Looking at Shui Linlang's acting skills that are deliberately easy to see through at a glance, I no longer know what to say about this elder's character.

"Do you have to go there? Actually, it's very boring at midnight. There are some elderly, old-fashioned elders who don't like the outside world. They just drink tea every day to support themselves."

"No... Grandma Shui, are you really okay with saying this..."

Listening to Shui Linlang's words that had already started to 'smear' her, I thought of her age and previous recruitment, and there were too many flaws.

So much so that Fangran didn't know how to complain about her words, and was speechless and choked.

"Since he has been secretly guiding me in Europe, that senior will not call me over for no reason..."

In the end, I had no choice but to ignore the "cuteness" of my elders and speak my mind seriously.

"By the way..."

However, Fangran stared at Shui Linlang with a speechless expression:

"Grandma Shui, you don't really want me to go. Do you know the senior's purpose of letting me go?"

"How could it be possible? I don't know what's going on with Uncle Qianmian..."

Shui Linlang denied this with a gentle smile,

"Anyway, it will take a few days to set up the teleportation to Midnight,"

Then facing Fangran's eyes full of 'I don't believe it', she revealed the flawless and mysterious smile of an older person:

"Just so you can deal with personal matters around you and prepare yourself before departure,"

Speaking of this, she suddenly blinked at Fang Ran with her eyes as bright and light as glass.

"By the way, I have a couple's ticket to the amusement park, do you want it?"

"don't want."

In view of the fact that whether I went out last weekend, the 'accident' in the past two days, or the trouble I made after winning the battle last night, I ended up in a state of panic, and it was difficult to calm down.

So I didn’t even complain about why a participant with A-level prophecy ability would have such a thing as an amusement park couple’s ticket.

Fangran simply refused.

"Hehehehe..."

Seeing his alert look, Shui Linlang really laughed this time.

In his recent life, it seems that he is really happy...

The thought came to mind, and the warm and kind eyes of the elders filled his eyes. He looked at the young man in front of him with quiet determination in his eyes,

Shui Linlang took a breath and suddenly sighed softly, lost in thought:

"You have changed, Fangran."

Picking up the tea cup, Fang Ran was looking at the sea of ​​flowers outside the balcony,

Hearing her stop teasing and her elder-like serious tone, he was slightly startled unconsciously.

"Eh...?"

"The time you came during the National War, you were still saying that you were not as powerful as you were when you were a child and that you couldn't save the world..."

Recalling the scene when he came here at night after the C-level battle, Shui Linlang rubbed her fingers on the teacup and looked at the reflection,

Then he raised his eyes, showing the complex gentleness of an elder who was helpless, relieved and worried.

"But now you look like you want to save the world."

"ah..."

He felt a little embarrassed when she said that. Fangran was speechless for a moment, then laughed out loud and scratched his cheek:

"I actually haven't thought of that level yet..."

"There is still a gap from one to ten, but there is a fundamental difference from zero to one,"

Sighing softly and whispering, Shui Linlang closed her eyes slightly helplessly. She picked up the tea cup and spoke words that only she could understand.

"It's obviously only such a short time."

It was only a few months, but it was as if destiny was 'accelerated' by something.

Every time this young man comes to me, he will change and grow.

He looks more and more like he did when I first met him...

"Yeah... I feel like it's been a long time."

Recalling the 'such a short time' she said, she realized that she couldn't recall it all at the moment, so Fangran couldn't help but smile and answered.

Compared with the high school days that can be recalled in a few seconds,

It does take longer to become a participant...

"I feel like it was just yesterday when Xiao Sheng brought you here and I revealed your identity as Ye Ya."

Shui Linlang spoke with a nostalgic sigh. Fangran couldn't help but feel ashamed when he heard about his 'rebellious' dark history.

"No, Grandma Shui, can you please stop mentioning that..."

"Eh? What's the matter? Your expression at that time was very interesting. I even kept it with my water mirror (laughs)."

"What...! No...forget it, by the way, can I ask Grandma Xiushui, when did you start paying attention to me?"

"Since you were ten?"

"No, ten years old is too ridiculous. Grandma Shui, can't you come up with a reliable explanation to put me off..."

It’s really a good ad, and it’s worth putting up. After all, you can cache the book and read it offline!

"Ah, you discovered it."

"Grandma Shui, you helped Sister Yesheng rebuild the night bureau, right? What were everyone in the bureau like before?"

"This..."

...

The auditorium courtyard on the top floor of the manor villa,

In the bright sunshine of the early winter afternoon, when the young man listened to the prophet tell a little about the past events,

Her light golden hair spreads out on her slender shoulders, and her flawless white jade legs under her skirt are slender. The girl who has not yet grown up has a doll-like delicacy that makes people want to hold her tightly in her arms.

After taking a shallow breath, my eyelashes fluttered,

She slowly opened her light golden eyes from her sleep, and murmured out of instinct:

"Fangran?"
