Ji Ling looked nervous at the young man's black eyes for some reason. He thought about it, maybe it was because Ning Kehan ​​seemed a little nervous and infected him...

The uncle of the classmate asked his name, of course he had to answer, Ji Ling said obediently: "Hello, my name is Ji Ling."

The voice was about to fall, and he saw that the other party's expression suddenly changed to be very terrifying. Then Dingding looked at his eyes, sharp like a blade, as if to see through him completely!

Ji Ling's body froze, but in the blink of an eye, the youth's expression returned to calm, as if the terrible appearance just now was just his illusion.

He thought this person was strange, and looked at Ning Kehan ​​for help.

Ning Kehan ​​said quickly: "Uncle, then we will go out first, so we won't disturb you."

When the two came outside, and finally got out of the terrifying sight, Ji Ling let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but curiously said, "Is that person your uncle just now?"

Ning Kehan ​​nodded.

Ji Ling said with emotion: "Your uncle looks very young." He is only twenty-four or five years old...

"Well." Ning Kehan ​​smiled, didn't he? The uncle is the old man who is the most distressed by the old man. He has been held in the hands of the whole family since he was a child, and he is a demon king who no one dares to provoke. Speaking of which, this villa is still under Ning Yue's name, but he doesn't like living here, so he gave it to himself, who is studying at university here. A few days ago, he suddenly said that he would come and live for a few days... We don't dare to say, we Don't dare to ask.

heard that he just came back from a trip abroad not long ago. Maybe he was just bored and wanted to come here to be quiet?

But although Ning Yue was not easy to get along with in the eyes of others, and had a weird and ruthless personality, as long as he didn't provoke him, he would be fine. But there's no need to tell Ji Ling about this, because it won't happen in the future anyway.

Ning Kehan ​​blinked and changed the subject: "By the way, they are grilling over there, let's go too!"

Ji Ling said happily: "Okay."

………………

Ning Yu watched the young man leave from his eyes. He slowly closed his eyes. The momentary glance at the young man just now, and every trace of the young man's expression and eyes, were all played back frame by frame in his mind.

It's like...really like it.

And just so, it has the same name.

It was hard for him to tell himself that it was all just a coincidence...

Ning Yu suddenly remembered the evening when the sky fell. At that time, he had been quietly following the boy for several days, but he never showed up, because he knew very well in his heart that their position and their identities were destined for them not to be together.

When he passed through the flames of war as a teenager and walked past him to Jing Sui, he would never look back.

So Ning Yu didn't expect the young man to give him the answer he wanted, and he couldn't just leave the people who put their life hopes on him like that. He just wanted to take another look at the young man and then - leave.

Until the satellite hanging in the sky pointed its weapon at the planet it was supposed to guard... At the moment when the boy's life was at stake, he still appeared.

Even if he knew he shouldn't be there at all.

Just like that time and time again, he knew that he shouldn't shoot, should not approach, but he still couldn't help... approaching someone who shouldn't be approaching.

And people have to pay the price for their own willfulness in the end.

When the melee reached the final critical moment, Ning Yu made his decision. He knew that if he wanted to survive, he should not intervene in the battle between Brandon and Carlos. Only by letting Carlos hold them back would he have a chance to escape. , but he still chose to end the war with his own life-choose to join Jing Sui to kill Carlos.

Even after Carlos dies, it will be him next.

He has been fighting for a purpose all his life, and he can't remember how he stepped out of the dust and mud, and how he became the hope of everyone... By the time he realized it, he couldn't take it down. Zhang 'Gabriel's mask', unable to let go of his mission.

So at that moment, he made what he thought was the most reasonable decision, sacrificing himself to end the war as soon as possible, even if the road was still accompanied by blood, sacrifice, and long turmoil... But it was the best he could think of way.

The only thing he didn't expect was that when Jing Sui was about to kill Carlos, the boy rushed out.

At the cost of his life, ushered in the beginning of a new world.

The young man didn't want to sacrifice anyone, even his own and Carlos' lives... He still cared about mercy.

That's really the best way, better than what he planned, but at the expense of you. It should have been me who died originally...

Ning Yu raised his hand and gently covered his eyes.

So, you saved me again.

I once told you that if you don't like a person, don't try to save him again and again, but you just can't do it.

That day, Jing Sui took the boy's body and let him and Carlos leave Emperor Star.

Ning Yu returned to the base of the resistance army, where people were in a state of panic, people's hearts were shrouded in fear, and they were dominated by hatred. Some people wanted to escape, and some people wanted to die together... But without exception, they believed that the empire's iron hoofs would be against him. They slaughtered.

Only Ning Yu knew that they would be fine, and neither Jing Sui nor Carlos would pursue them anymore.

From the moment the boy died, the war was actually over.

Ning Yu led the rebels away and went to bases on other planets. They were never hunted down again. Jing Sui and Carlos were busy cleaning up the mess, while Ning Yu told people that you can leave and start where you want to go. new life.

His decision to disband the rebels was met with much criticism.

People accuse him of being a lackey of the empire, slander him for abandoning his ideals and beliefs, and some even think that he has been seduced by the nobles and has long been controlled by the nobles, and wants to betray them in this way... No one understands him.

As their leader, he should fight the Empire to the death.

People said he was a coward and a traitor.

These Ning Yu don't care. He is just doing what he should do. Hatred can never bring hope, but only destruction and pain. Start all over again. There are still many innocent civilians here. They are also qualified to live in the sun and live a happy life, instead of hiding in the east and risking being strangled to go against the empire at any time.

He knew that letting go of hatred was difficult.

Therefore, Ning Yu is willing to bear these censures alone and be a traitor in the eyes of others, just because this is the best choice for everyone to survive, and it is also everything he must bear as a 'Gabriel'.

Jing Sui will give them a better world and be a tolerant and benevolent prince.

Fighting is no longer necessary.

From beginning to end, Ning Yu hopes to create a better world with the least sacrifice.

He is trying to protect everyone.

Even if it is not understood and grateful.

With Jing Sui's acquiescence, Ning Yu chose to leave after the last batch of civilians was settled.

He has done his responsibilities and done what he should do. From now on, these have nothing to do with him... Everyone has their own life, and he cannot and cannot be responsible for everyone's life. He is not a god, Just one person.

He can finally put down the 'Gabriel's mask' and live only for himself from now on.

He still has an unfulfilled wish.

Ning Yu never forgot the last sentence Ji Ling said before leaving, he said: Don't be sad, I'm just going home.

At first, he thought it was just a comfort, a white lie on the deathbed of the young man, but later when he recalled that scene countless times, he couldn't help but doubt his own judgment, because at that moment, the young man's eyes didn't seem to be lying to him. There is no need to lie to him anymore.

He began to fantasize that the boy might really just go home.

But where is your home?

Ning Yu has traveled to almost every corner of the universe, looking for any place where there may be traces of the teenager, hoping to meet inadvertently somewhere one day, the teenager smiled and turned back to him and said, "Look, I didn't lie to you. , I just went home.

With this thought in his mind, day after day, year after year.

But he couldn't find it. After a long time, he had new doubts. The boy's home may not be in this world at all. But if that's the case, where is your world? How can I get to your world?

Or maybe, you don't want to be found by us at all, so you have been refusing to say it.

There is no us in your world now.

are you happy?

If this is what you want, then I will no longer insist, I hope you can get it.

I believe, you just went home.

If one day, I can come to your hometown and be fortunate enough to see you again. I want to tell you that you didn't sacrifice in vain, and the world has changed for the better, as you expected.

I am fine too.

………………

Ji Ling and Ning Kehan ​​came to the garden and smelled the aroma of barbecue from a distance. Ji Ling's eyes lit up and walked over quickly. He remembered the days when he was in Luanshui City, fishing and eating barbecue with Duan Xingxing every day.

This kid should be doing fine now, right? I don't know if I think about myself.

Ji Ling wanted to do something, and volunteered to say to Ning Kehan, "I'll bake it!"

Ning Kehan ​​smiled and said, "Wow."

She pulled up a chair and sat beside Ji Ling, resting her cheeks in her hands, and looked up at the young man who was focusing on grilling fish. She didn't expect Ji Ling's skill to be very good, and it looked like this when grilled. She looked at the other classmates. The roasted blackened ingredients are more and more looking forward to.

Such a cute and virtuous boy paper, really want to abduct him home.

Ji Ling knew that Ning Kehan ​​was on the side, a little nervous and cramped, and looked at the fish in his hands intently. It didn't take long for the fish to be baked. Sprinkle a layer of cumin on it, perfect!

He turned around, handed the fish to Ning Kehan, and smiled shyly: "Here you are."

Ning Kehan ​​rolled her eyes and happily prepared to pick it up, but at this moment a slender hand suddenly stretched out and took the fish that was about to fall into her hands.

Ning Kehan ​​was instantly furious, who dared to cut off the Hu, when she thought that Miss Ning was a vegetarian? ! As a result, she raised her head and met Ning Yu's tall, straight and sharp face, and froze in place. When she was about to blurt out her words, she held back her breath and almost lost her anger.

Ning Yu smiled slightly and looked at her indifferently: "I'm hungry, give this to me, okay?"

Ning Kehan: This makes me say no...

Ning Yu said again: "When I first came here, I heard your friend calling you, as if he had something to do with you, you should take a look."

Ning Kehan ​​was stunned for a while, then got up and said, "Okay."

Although I regretted the fish I didn't eat in my heart, I'll talk about it later, I don't know who was looking for her...

Seeing Ning Kehan ​​leave, Ning Yu naturally sat down on the chair she was sitting on, took a bite of the freshly baked fish, and turned to Ji Ling with a smile: "It's delicious."

But this is not baked for you. You are so rude, you even grab your niece's fish.

Ji Ling blinked and said, "Oh."

For the sake of your classmate's uncle, I can't give you more than one. Don't think I'll bake it for you if you say it's delicious. I'm not familiar with you.

Ning Yu looked at the dark and wet eyes of the young man. Although the young man seemed to be well-behaved, there was a little sly look flashing in it, as well as a curious look at himself... Ning Yu suddenly remembered that when he was at that base, the young man clearly He was reluctant, but he still gave himself a fish, struggling, tangled and cute, and accidentally made his heart fluctuate.

He did a lot for himself, but said nothing and didn't want to be known.

Ning Yu lowered his eyes slightly, took a bite of the grilled fish, and the crisp-numb taste slowly passed into his heart along the tip of his tongue, gently bringing out a trace of what was deliberately suppressed deep in his heart, miss.

When he first came to this world, he was briefly lost, but he quickly accepted everything calmly.

Even began to imagine whether this is the world of the teenager, can he meet him again?

But this world seems small, but it is actually very big. Sometimes, if you want to meet someone, if there is no fate, even if you pass by, you will not be able to meet...

He's used to disappointment.

It wasn't until he walked out of the room just now with a careless look.

The long search and waiting finally turned into a freeze.

The boy appeared in front of him like this, just like the image he imagined and depicted in his mind time and time again.

Also, his name is Ji Ling.

Even with different looks and identities, those clear and bright eyes, occasionally dazed, occasionally cunning, and occasionally smart... It's just like the previous time and time again, the young man thought he had come to him in a good disguise, but The true inner self that cannot be concealed is seen through by him through those eyes.

Put aside domineering pretense, put aside false lies.

Maybe this is the real him.

Ning Yu has always thought that he is sensible enough, even when faced with the choice of life and death, he can rationally weigh the value of his death and the possible consequences... But at this moment, he does not know whether he is still sensible enough, nor does he know what he guessed Whether the answer is the real answer, everything is uncertain, there is no basis, some are just illusory intuition.

But he was extremely hopeful that he was right.

Ji Ling quietly glanced at the people around him, a little nervous, this is Ning Kehan's uncle! How do you feel about meeting your parents?

Ah bah, he and Ning Kehan ​​don't have that kind of relationship, they're just ordinary classmates. How could he think of meeting his parents?

But then again, the genes of Ning Kehan's family are really good, Ning Kehan ​​is beautiful and generous, and her uncle is also very handsome and has a personality.

Ji Ling's thoughts began to wander...

Ning Yu's chest rose and fell slightly, suppressing the surging deep in his eyes. After a while, he suddenly asked, "What is your relationship with Ning Kehan?"

Ji Ling suddenly came back to his senses, here we come! So why did he come to find him? Sure enough, he came to check on his niece, right? He must have mistakenly thought he was Ning Kehan's boyfriend!

Ji Ling immediately sat upright: "I'm her classmate."

Ning Yu's dark eyes are in the night, like a bottomless deep sea, her thin lips are slightly raised, and her voice is low and slow: "Do you like her?"

Ji Ling: "!"

How can I answer this question!

If you don't like it, will you be kicked out? Saying you like it, but it's not that far, it's really a dilemma!

Ji Ling's face flushed, his lips moved, but no sound came out.

so awkward.

Why is it so straightforward to meet for the first time.

Ning Yu just looked at him like this, then withdrew his gaze after a while, and said calmly, "If you feel embarrassed, you don't have to answer."

Fortunately, Ning Yu didn't get to the bottom of it, Ji Ling raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and wanted to run away...

He quietly glanced at the young man's profile, stood up and said, "I, I'll go to Ning Kehan to see if I need any help..."

Ning Yu said, "Okay."

Ji Ling breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave.

"By the way..." Ning Yu suddenly raised her eyes again and said casually, "Get to know me, my name is Ning Yue."

Ji Ling's footsteps froze, and he looked at him in disbelief.

Ning, Ning Yu?how can that be?!

He looked at Ning Yu's eyes absentmindedly, and fell into his dark and deep eyes, the whole figure seemed to have been pressed the pause button, unable to move.

Ning Yu stood up slowly, approached Ji Ling, stared into his eyes with black eyes, raised the corners of his lips, and said word by word, "Ning, Yue, Yue over the mountains - what do you hear?"
