IJWTRQ Chapter 076

Minister Yu understood Tan Yan’s character. Generally speaking, after he finished saying this, Tan Yan would probably say, ‘With my age, I can be regarded as his elder, so it should be’, however, he didn’t receive Tan Yan’s response, but a suffocating silence.

Minister Yu gave Tan Yan a strange look.

“I’m going back to rest.” Tan Yan got up and left, regardless of how awkward the conversation ended.

Seeing him leave, the little deer immediately broke free from Minister Yu’s embrace, and ‘clip-clop’ rushed towards Tan Yan without looking back.

For some reason, this scene made Minister Yu inexplicably sad.

Tan Yan felt very embarrassed. Logically speaking, he was supposed to be Liang Xian’s elder, but Liang Xian confessed to him, and was very insistent. His attitude made Tan Yan feel that if he insisted on being Liang Xian’s elder, it would be a kind of harm to that child.

Now that he can’t be a child, Liang Xian hopes that Tan Yan can face him squarely.

A day ago, Tan Yan felt that this was just a child’s nonsense, so he rejected it twice, and it was over.

One day later, Tan Yan realized that he didn’t have many chances to refuse.

Time is a luxury for the supernatural team. Tan Yan once thought that he was strong enough to keep Liang Xian’s time, but in fact, he is just an ordinary person with slightly stronger willpower.

He was lying on the bed, with his hands folded behind his head to make a pillow, the little deer leaned against Tan Yan, and quietly forgot about him for a while, seeing that he was not asleep, he arched Tan Yan with his head.

Tan Yan took out a hand and pinched the little deer’s ear, half to appease him, half to tell him to be good.

Unexpectedly, the little deer arched him again.

Tan Yan looked at the little deer, this little guy’s eyes were big, beautiful, and clean, looking at you as if he could see into your heart.

“What’s wrong?” Tan Yan asked.

The little deer couldn’t speak, so he could only push Tan Yan to the side, so that he exposed half of the bed.

“You want to sleep with me?” Tan Yan guessed.

The little deer nodded like a human.

“But don’t deer sleep standing up?” Tan Yan was puzzled.

The little deer ran to pick up a towel prepared by the base for Tan Yan, carefully wiped his hoof, and then jumped onto the bed with satisfaction, and lay down beside Tan Yan.

Tan Yan: “…”

How does this look like Liang Xian…

When he thought of this name, he gave a slight pause again. In fact, being similar to Liang Xian is just a matter of course. The little deer is quantum entangled with Liang Xian, and perhaps also received Liang Xian’s feelings.

Speaking of which, the little deer liked to cling to him very much from the very beginning, was it Liang Xian’s idea?

The little deer arched beside Tan Yan, found a comfortable lying position for himself, leaned against Tan Yan, and then closed his eyes comfortably.

In fact, it should be uncomfortable, the bed is too soft, and a bit crowded.

But the little deer looked very happy, just like Liang Xian who climbed onto Tan Yan’s bed back then.

Tan Yan couldn’t tell whether he should be sad or funny. Liang Xian performed these actions in a very low-key manner, and would find various reasons for himself. It was difficult for Tan Yan to detect his intentions. The little deer is not a human being, he doesn’t have as many worries as Liang Xian, and no matter what he does, he is very straightforward.

He is expressing his love for Tan Yan with his whole body and soul, and he is happy as long as he is with him.

Liang Xian talked a lot and made a lot of effort to convey the feelings, and still cannot be conveyed, but replaced by the little deer, Tan Yan could feel it easily.

“Really like me so much?” Tan Yan asked.

The drowsy little deer, who already closed his eyes, moved his ears, raised his head, nestled it into Tan Yan’s neck, and arched it vigorously.

Tan Yan was a little itchy, patted his back comfortingly, and said softly: “Okay, okay, I got it.”

Only then did the little deer stop and close its eyes again in satisfaction and fall asleep happily.

The little deer, a wild animal that should be very vigilant, usually stands up when resting, but can easily lie down and fall asleep beside Tan Yan.

He fell asleep, and adjusted his posture, showing his belly.

This complete trust and love can’t help but make Tan Yan smile.

But only halfway through the smile, the smile froze on his face.

Liang Xian is no longer here.

If he can return to the zombie world with the little deer and see Liang Xian, who has turned into a zombie again, will he kill him? Can he really do it? Did he decide to go only because he wanted to bring Liang Xian’s ashes back to the real world?

Tan Yan asked himself several questions in a row, and thought for a long time, but couldn’t answer any of them.

He has lived for so many years, but he doesn’t even understand himself.

–

The supernatural team who rested overnight did not return to school, but stayed at the base to participate in Qiao Zhixue’s training. Starting with Qin Li, who was the most resilient, they were abused one by one.

Tan Yan passed by and took a look, and saw that Qin Li was placed on the hospital bed with electrodes connected to his head. Qiao Zhixue calculated the highest voltage that the human body could withstand, and at the same time increasing the power little by little from a safe voltage, so that Qin Li could train while adapting.

Tan Yan saw Qin Li’s painful but enduring appearance, and wanted to help him, but felt powerless.

He can’t replace anyone.

It’s unknown when Minister Yu went to rest last night, and it is unclear whether he has recovered from the aftereffects of using the ability for the first time. But the next day, he appeared in front of people in good spirits and took Xu Mingyu to talk to the survivors one-on-one. It seemed that the pain and tears of yesterday did not exist.

No matter how much pain he suffers, as long as the revolution still requires him to continue fighting, Minister Yu can stand up.

Tan Yan understands this feeling. He used to stand up again and again like this, and entered the ‘void’ countless times tirelessly.

He was secretly sighing at Minister Yu’s strength, the little deer tugged at the hem of his clothes, and took Tan Yan to sneak to the door of the conversation room.

After a while, a survivor came out. The man who had talked with Minister Yu was in a trance, and he didn’t even recognize Tan Yan, he followed the guards away like floating.

The little deer’s ears twitched, and quickly tugged the corner of Tan Yan’s clothes to make him listen carefully.

Tan Yan’s hearing is excellent, even if the sound insulation of the conversation room is first-class, he still heard the voice of Minister Yu inside: “Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu, ouch, Xiao Xu, don’t need to makeup anymore.”

Xu Mingyu: “No, you don’t look good when you take off your makeup, you have to touch up your makeup.”

Tan Yan: “…”

Leaders are not easy, even if they don’t look good, put on makeup to show they are still full of energy.

Everyone is busy, only Tan Yan doesn’t know what to do. Qiao Zhixue said he was so strong that he did not need further training, and the training method he designed was of little use to Tan Yan; Minister Yu said that there is no need for the supernatural team to control the comfort of the survivors, they just need to move forward, and all the rest will be left to Minister Yu.

Now Tan Yan probably only needs to wait for the next ‘void’ to come.

Waiting is not Tan Yan’s style, besides entering another world, he has another task——to learn quantum mechanics.

This was the task Minister Yu assigned to Tan Yan a few months ago. A few months later, Minister Yu asked about Tan Yan’s study progress, after hearing that he scored 170 points on the real questions in the college entrance examination over the years, he stopped paying attention to this matter. The progress is really too slow. This is a long process.

If it were someone else, they might have turned the tables and stopped studying. Seeing that people who are about to retire have to do college entrance examination questions, and their grades are also very low, no one with strong self-esteem can bear it.

But Tan Yan just silently compared the results of each mock test, repeatedly doing wrong questions again and again, his test scores were not high, but each time he improved compared to the previous one.

After asking the staff to find relevant books and exercise books, Tan Yan started to study strictly according to the schedule again.

It’s just that it’s really difficult for him to study alone without a teacher’s guidance. Many questions are wrong and he doesn’t know where to start.

The little deer watching on the side jumped up and down anxiously, and finally couldn’t stand it after three days, biting a pen and began to write with difficulty.

Tan Yan: “…”

It is very difficult for the little deer to write. Fortunately, there are books. He only needs to point out where Tan Yan’s problems are, and find relevant knowledge points in the books, and Tan Yan can learn.

At this moment, Tan Yan understood the complicated emotions of the members of the supernatural team when they saw the little deer. After working so hard for so long, they are not as good as a deer, really very sad.

Tan Yan thought a little more, and he thought of Liang Xian again.

Liang Xian is also so keen on teaching himself to read and study, the little deer is also like him in this way.

Tan Yan smiled lightly, pinching the little deer’s ears, and studied with him.

Some things in the world are really unpredictable, they once hoped that the ‘void’ would arrive a little slower and give the supernatural team more time.

Now Tan Yan hopes that the ‘void’ will appear sooner and go to another world earlier. Maybe Liang Xian hasn’t turned into a zombie yet, to work together to find a way, and there may still be salvation.

But things did not go as expected, after a whole month, there is no sign of ‘void’.

Time moved from November to December, and Tan Yan’s birthday soon arrived.

In fact, Tan Yan doesn’t feel much about birthdays. He has been alone for many years and has no time to go home at night, there’s no difference between having a birthday or not. In the past, when he was poor, he would use his birthday as an excuse to add an egg for himself, or eat dumplings, now that life is better, there’s nothing to special eat.

On the contrary, in recent years, the unit will issue birthday cake coupons to employees. Tan Yan doesn’t like sweets, every time he changes the cake, he sends it directly to the Ping County Welfare Institute for the children to eat.

The birthday in 2018 is naturally not a special day for Tan Yan. He woke up like every day to train and study, and even forgot his birthday because no birthday cake coupon was given by his unit this year.

But the little deer has been absent-minded today. He took out his seldom-used mobile phone from Tan Yan’s bag, charged it, and turned it on.

God knows how he, a deer, completed such a difficult movement. In short, when he was studying, the deer stood by the phone and looked at the time from time to time. His ears were shaking violently, and he looked very anxious.

Tan Yan still has a lot of questions that he doesn’t know today. Every time he goes to find the little deer, he is not by his side, but guards the phone that is charging.

“Do you want to play the mobile phone?” Tan Yan smiled, “But you can’t touch it, what to do?”

The little deer glared at him angrily, it was the first time Tan Yan saw the little deer showing such a reproachful look, he was puzzled by the glare.

At noon, the cell phone that the little deer had been guarding rang. Tan Yan took it and saw that the mobile phone number was marked as a courier delivery.

He didn’t shop online or order takeout, the base would prepare everything for them, and Tan Yan didn’t need to spend money at all.

Puzzled, he picked up the phone, the courier guy on the other side said: “Excuse me, is this Mr. Tan Yan? You have a delivery, the address is the Central Military Academy, your school does not allow the courier to enter, can only put it in the guard room. But this courier request must be delivered personally, can you come out and pick it up?”

Delivery, what is it?

Tan Yan has not lived in the Central Military Academy for a long time, so naturally, he cannot go out to collect it.

The courier brother was anxious to let him sign for it, and the little deer was also anxious to let Tan Yan go to receive the delivery, and was about to drag Tan Yan out of the base.

Tan Yan had no choice but to ask for leave, and made an appointment with the courier brother for a convenient meeting place.

When he arrived at the agreed place, he saw a young man in courier clothes holding a bouquet of red roses.

Tan Yan signed for the rose and found the note, which read——

Happy birthday to you, if you’re not mad at me, can I treat you to dinner tonight? This time it won’t be French food, it’s cold, let’s go eat hot pot. ——by Liang Xian, who has an undying love for you.

The sky in B City is very cloudy, don’t know if it is smog or cloudy. Tan Yan is standing on the street holding a fiery red rose. On the busy street, this bouquet of roses seems to be the only splash of color.

He raised his head, a trace of coolness fell on his face, Tan Yan stretched out his hand to touch it, it was a snowflake, held in the palm of his hand, and it instantly turned into water.

December, B City ushered in the first snow in 2018.

Tan Yan stood in the snow for a long time, and it was already dark when he returned to the base. The little deer couldn’t leave the base, he stood in front of the gate waiting for him.

Tan Yan walked into the base with a feeling of coolness, hugged the little deer gently, and whispered in his ear: “Thank you.”

‘Void’ hurry up and come.
