In the days of being apart, he owed Lin Yu a lot.
Xiao Qiang knelt on the ground, his fingers digging deep into the soil, as two streams of clear liquid slowly overflowed from his eyes. He regretted his earlier impulsiveness and silently murmured, "Dear, give me a chance. In the days to come, I will take you to explore Tianya. Regardless of poverty or anything else, we must be together." With that thought, he instinctively embraced the time machine in his arms and said word by word, "Dear, I'm back."
Xiao Qiang returned to the year 2050, feeling a strong sense of dizziness as he slightly closed his eyes... Back in 2050, he was walking home with an Iron Chain in hand.
He tossed the Iron Chain into the weeds and hurried home, managing to pick up Lin Yu's call just in time.
Countless cycles had never felt as tense as this one. The thought that she in 2080 had already... filled him with immense guilt and torment. "Wife?"
Lin Yu's voice came through, "I got 50 immune Gene Proteins." She sounded excited and thrilled.
Xiao Qiang paused, not responding immediately as he struggled to think about what had happened at this critical moment. Suddenly remembering, he hurriedly said to her, "Wife, you need to be careful..."
He knew that at this point there would be a V2 Zombie Virus outbreak targeting her bag, but having just warned her might have caused a signal short circuit in the basement parking lot. The call dropped, leaving only static in his earpiece.
There was no use in panicking; all he could do was wait patiently. He reminded himself not to add to her troubles: Stay calm! Stay calm! He paced back and forth in the living room until his neck ached from the strain, yet Lin Yu still hadn't returned.
It was over an hour before the earpiece finally buzzed to life. After connecting successfully, there was silence. All he could hear were heavy breaths and sobs; even without Lin Yu explaining the situation, Xiao Qiang knew she had been robbed.
"Wife, as long as you're okay, hurry back. I have something important to tell you."
"Mm, husband, am I such a failure?"
"Don't think like that, dear. Meeting you is my blessing. Be good, my little kitty, hurry back."
"Mm, wait for me."
Simple matters became complicated and then transformed back into simplicity. Xiao Qiang straightforwardly explained everything to Lin Yu: "I don't have the V2 Zombie Virus, but this vaccine Gene Protein can control my body's transformation."
Of course, Lin Yu wouldn't believe him; she thought he was just saying these things to comfort himself after losing 50 hard-earned Gene Proteins. "How could that be? Please don't try to comfort me! If something happens, we should face it together. Think of other solutions."
"I know. Next, you'll connect with Matt, and then they'll all come here."
“……” Lin Yu indeed had this thought in her heart, but she was still weighing it and had not taken action yet, only to be caught by Xiao Qiang. She was secretly surprised and tentatively asked, “So what do you suggest we do?”
“We're going to Mirage Tower.”
“……” Lin Yu hesitated, instinctively placing her hand lightly on her abdomen. “This…”
“It’s nothing. We’ll go as a family of three.”
“You…” Lin Yu shyly smiled, surprised and genuinely startled at the same time. Just a few days ago, she had tested for pregnancy with a test strip, and she never expected that Xiao Qiang had already noticed. When did he become so observant?
“Don’t hesitate; we need to act quickly.” While speaking, Xiao Qiang had already set the time, weight capacity, location, year, hour, minute, and second for the time machine.
“I’ll pack a few things…” Lin Yu momentarily couldn’t let go of the material possessions in front of her, thinking about how there would be nothing in the desert.
“Don’t worry; I’m well prepared this time. Water, food, sausages, and bread are all in my backpack.” As he spoke, Xiao Qiang wrapped his arm around Lin Yu and deftly activated the time machine's button.
Lin Yu held onto Xiao Qiang tightly, feeling very real. A wave of dizziness hit her; she felt her body shake as her feet remained firmly planted on the Ground. Anxious in her heart, she didn’t dare to open her eyes, fearing that something might go wrong with the tracks causing a time error or that they hadn’t moved from their original spot at all.
Xiao Qiang kissed her forehead. “Alright, we’ve arrived.”
Lin Yu opened her eyes. Oh my! What came into view was a bright blue sky and yellow ground; here, apart from blue and yellow, there were no other colors to be seen.
In the boundless sea of sand, clusters of trees dotted the landscape; those were Sand Willows.
Xiao Qiang told her, “Those clusters of Sand Willows inject life into the otherwise silent sea of sand. To survive in the water-scarce desert, Sand Willows rely on their tenacious willpower to root deeply into the sand for dozens of meters, reaching towards sources of water. Here, once life emerges, it is hard to perish because harsh environments often nurture great and resilient lives.”
“We can be resilient too.” Lin Yu stepped gingerly on the grains of sand with a happy smile on her face and confidently raised her fist.
Xiao Qiang felt he could never get enough of Lin Yu; happiness was indeed so simple. She was an easily satisfied woman; even in such an unbearable place, she radiated confidence and joy.
“Are you going to take me to see Jill?”
Oh wow! It turned out that after this cycle, she wouldn’t remember someone named Jill. Xiao Qiang smiled wryly and said, “Do you want to see her?”
"Of course." Surrounded by the new environment, Lin Yu's sense of novelty had not yet faded. Perhaps it would only dawn on her that this place was not paradise when difficulties arose. The sunlight refracted in the desert was blinding, and whirlwinds lifted the yellow sand high into the air, swirling like smoke rising from the ground, racing across the desert. She suddenly asked, "What do you want to name our child?"
"What name do you like?" Xiao Qiang didn't want to mention the child; his offspring would one day be a bloodthirsty Werewolf. He was trying to change history, unsure if he could alter its fate.
"I still don't know if it's a boy or a girl. If it's a girl, I want her to take my surname and be called Yuer. How about Lin Yuer?"
"Sounds good..." Xiao Qiang handed her the water pouch. "Have a sip of water!"
"Will there be a Mirage Tower?" Lin Yu sensed that Xiao Qiang's mood seemed off. "You... don't like children?"
"How could I not like them? They are the fruit of our love... If nothing goes wrong, let's call him Xiao Yu!"
Lin Yu gently touched her still-flat belly, her expression doubtful as she gazed at Xiao Qiang. "Hmm, a boy's name? How can you be so sure it's a boy?"
"Just a guess..."
"Tell me, did you accidentally activate the time return?" Lin Yu knew that the time machine did not have the ability to restart time unless Xiao Qiang had learned something during his trip to the Post-Century. However, in her memory, it seemed he had always been by her side and had never truly left. That night’s disappearance was merely a brief hour; he had already provided an explanation.
