    The moment Fu Zhao heard these two names, his fingertips froze.

    Like an emotion borne by the wind, there was a sudden throbbing pain in the bottom of my heart.

    It's like I've heard it before.

    But she clearly remembered that she didn't know these two people.

    Why... do you feel this way?

    "Fu Zhao...Fu Zhao..."

    A soft call came from his ear, and Fu Zhao suddenly came back to his senses, but his mind was still a little confused, and a few drops of ink had already dripped on the lamp paper in front of him.

    She squeezed the brush in her hand, woke up for a while, then took another piece of lamp paper and spread it out again, held Shi Nan's hand, and wrote the two names stroke by stroke on the paper.

    "Is it these two surnames?" Her eyes trembled slightly, and she asked.

    Shi Nan in her arms fell on the paper and nodded, "That's right, she...I checked it before, and it's these words."

    "What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Shi Nan looked at Fu Zhao, the light in his amber eyes flickered around and around, as if he was distracted.She was a little worried, whether Fu Zhao's memory had not been completely erased.

    "No." Fu Zhao shook his head, quietly looking at the two names he wrote down, "It's just that these two surnames are a bit special."

    "Special?" Shi Nan asked back, as if she didn't understand what she was talking about.

    Fu Zhaoding stared at it for a while, with ripples in her eyes, she put down the pen, and waited for a while for the ink to dry before putting it on the lamp stand.

    "The reason why the surname Fu is special is because it has the same surname as mine, and it is relatively rare. There is no Fu surname on other planets, and there are not many people on Nankey Island. Except for our family, there are not many."

    "So that's how it is." Shi Nan glanced at the name on the lamp paper, his eyes flickered and then he regained his composure, his drooping eyelashes trembled, "Maybe it has something to do with your family."

    Mentioning this point, Fu Zhao was slightly taken aback, as if he was really thinking about this possibility.

    Afraid of what Fu Zhao was thinking, Shi Nan grabbed Fu Zhao's arm and changed the subject, "Then what about the surname?"

    Fu Zhao's thoughts were interrupted, and his eyes followed Shi Nan's words, and naturally fell on the name "Lian Yuechu" shining brightly on the lamp paper. After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth to explain.

    "This surname is even rarer. It doesn't exist in all the household registrations on Nankey Island."

    "It must be the same on other planets."

    Following Fu Zhao's gaze, Shi Nan looked at the name Lian Yuechu, dazed for a while, and said softly,

    "Is this surname rare?"

    "En." Fu Zhao responded, "Before I came back for the last time, I had a longer dream. In the dream, I seemed to go to a completely different planet, where there were only two genders, and it seemed to be older than our timeline.Much earlier. There used to be a dynasty there whose imperial surname was Lian."

    "Later, after I regained my memory, I went to check some information."

    "I just discovered that our ancestors used to live on that planet, and then they encountered some things and moved to the current Nankey Island."

    "This should also be the reason why the surname Fu is relatively rare in the entire interstellar world. Maybe on that planet, the surnames Fu and Lian are also common."

    As Fu Zhao spoke, she looked at Shi Nan, and her gaze stayed at the bottom of Shi Nan's eyes, which were stained with confusion. She didn't understand why Shi Nan knew these two people, and asking her to write on the Kongming Lantern meant that, these two people should have... passed away.

    She paused, thought for a while before asking, "Do you know these two people? Or have you only heard the names?"

    "I know." Shi Nan stared at the two names on the lamp paper, his eyes trembled slightly, and the emotions hidden in his eyes were somewhat complicated.She was silent for a while, then spoke again,

    "But it's been a long time since we met."

    When Shi Nan said this, Fu Zhao no longer wanted to ask whether these two people were Shi Nan's friends, nor did he want to ask about the relationship between Shi Nan and these two people.

    There are some things, just stop there.

    Fu Zhao wanted to understand this, and patted Shi Nan's shoulder lightly, without saying anything else, but silently unfolded the lantern paper completely into the shape of a lantern.

    Shi Nan didn't say anything else, his drooping eyelashes trembled, and together with Fu Zhao, he held one side of the Kongming lantern and watched Fu Zhao light the bottom ring.

    The candle flame flickered, the flame flickered, and the light and shadow flickered on the white paper.

    Reflected on Fu Zhao's face on the opposite side, the prominent facial lines were casted by the shaking light and shadow with distinct layers of shadows.

    But it seemed a little more unreal.

    Shi Nan was dazzled for a moment, and grabbed Fu Zhao's wrist suddenly, and he was relieved until he felt the steady and strong pulse of the other party.

    "What's wrong?" Fu Zhao cast his gaze over, with a bit of exploration mixed with a bit of worry, "Is there something wrong?"

    "It's nothing." Shi Nan shook his head, took a light breath and calmed down, "It's just that I'm a little dazed, my memory is a little confused, I seem to remember something again, before... I seem to have missed the Kongming Lantern many times."

    "Many times?" Fu Zhaoding looked at Shi Nan, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart, but he couldn't calm down anymore. Her fingertips trembled abruptly, and she couldn't help asking,

    "So what I saw in my dream before, there are many Kongming lanterns with my name written on them, are they all true?"

    "It's you..." Her voice trembled a little, she clenched her fingertips, and it took her a long time before she could continue, "Did you let it go?"

    "It seems to be..." Shi Nan frowned, the sudden memory in her mind made her a little overwhelmed and confused.

    But in her memory, she missed the Kongming Lantern many times.

    In countless days and nights.

    The memory fragments in my mind surged up frantically.

    Under the flickering lights, Fu Zhao's profile was dimly reflected, the ripples in his amber eyes, and the flickering candlelight.

    They lightly put the Kongming lanterns in the air together...

    Under the dim light, Fu Zhao frowned and asked her if she had learned her name... Looking at her gently, her amber pupils were full of her.

    Later, she was the one who put the Kongming lanterns.

    She was the only one who repeatedly wrote famous names on the lamp paper.

    From writing down the name to lighting the lamp, and then putting the lamp in the air until seeing the Kongming lantern turn into small dots in the night sky and rise to the horizon.

    Until the sky is full of lights.

    Until the dark night, which is as dark as black, is all lit up by Kongming lanterns, and the sky is full of candles flickering.

    In the cycle over and over again, the tears overflowing from the bottom of the eyes fell on the light paper of each Kongming lantern, leaving wet marks, and then slowly dried by the lights, turning into deepened marks...

    When is this memory?

    Was it the last time, or the last time?

    Why didn't she remember it before... Is it a real memory or a dream.

    Complicated thoughts hit Shi Nan, and he fell into a trance, but he couldn't remember any other related memories. All he could think of was that he had set off the Kongming lanterns over and over again, many, many.

    Accompanied by the recovery of this part of the memory, the heart seemed to be kneaded into a ball by something, swollen, throbbing, and filled with strong sadness.

    Despair, disillusionment, all hopelessness.

    Was it her mood at that time?

    Undoubtedly, those memories were also after losing Fu Zhao, but she couldn't figure out which time it was.

    "Shi Nan... Shi Nan..."

    A sound of calling came along the wind, and it seemed to be scattered in the wind.

    Shi Nan came back to his senses suddenly, only to find that fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, and cold sweat was also breaking out on his back.

    The touch from the fingertips is warm and warm, real.

    The person in front of him was intact, his eyes flickered slightly, tinged with worry.

    "Did something happen?" Fu Zhao pursed his lips and asked softly, "Did you recall some bad memories?"

    Shi Nan raised his head as if waking up from a dream, and found that the Kongming lanterns in the hands of himself and Fu Zhao had already been lifted into the sky, floating in the sky, and the two names hanging on them had become invisible dots.

    "What's wrong with you? Don't scare me."

    The person in front of her moved closer, her cool palm was pressed against her forehead, her eyes flickered with worry, her brows were furrowed,

    "Why are you sweating so much?"

    "It was fine just now..."

    "It's okay." Shi Nan interrupted Fu Zhao's words, frowned softly, took Fu Zhao's palm off, and interlocked his fingers, "It's just that the memory suddenly became confused."

    "But I've figured it out."

    "The many Kongming lanterns you saw in your dream before, I should have put them up."

    "As for when it was, I can't remember exactly."

    Fu Zhao listened to Shi Nan's words, and her stiff body relaxed. She gently put her arms around Shi Nan's shoulders, comforting, "It's okay if you can't remember clearly, don't force yourself to remember."

    "Just remember the things that should be remembered, and we can forget the things that should not be remembered."

    Shi Nan stared fixedly at Fu Zhao, the corners of his lips curled up, his voice was made softer by the night wind,

    "Just now I said we should remember some things, but now I say it's okay to forget, why are you so double-standard?"

    Fu Zhao raised his eyebrows, seeing that Shi Nan was in the mood to joke with her, he was also relieved, and replied with a smile,

    "It's a double standard for you."

    "You don't need to remember things that make you unhappy."

    The smile on Shi Nan's lips rippled, and he scratched Fu Zhao's nose lightly, "I'm so good at talking now, but I used to be so bored that I didn't say anything."

    "En." Fu Zhao responded, pinching Shi Nan's shoulders that had just stiffened, still vaguely worried, she changed the subject, "Let's go back, it's a bit windy at night."

    Shi Nan raised his eyes to look at the Kongming Lantern that had already flown away, and stayed there for a while, then moved to Fu Zhao's eyes, scratched Fu Zhao's palm soothingly, his voice softened a lot,

    "Okay, let's go back."

    Fu Zhao finally let go of his mind, but as soon as they turned around, Shi Nan's body suddenly trembled a few times, and he stared blankly at the tree in front of him.

    She looked over and found that there seemed to be two figures sitting beside the stone table where they had written their names.

    A bright crescent moon hangs in the sky, surrounded by thin clouds.

    A gust of wind blew by, the leaves swayed, and the hazy figure under the tree became clear, looking quietly here.

    One was wearing a black windbreaker, with a straight posture, cool and foggy.

    The other was wearing a dark red windbreaker, propped his cheeks and tilted his head to look at them, his brows and eyes were bent, and his eyes flickered slightly.

    The emotion inside seemed to be one of relief.

    The author has something to say:

    Shi Nan actually still has some memories, which will be written in the extra episode.
