Genius Club

That was her child, but at the same time, it was also Lin Xian’s child.

His feelings must be the same as hers, or even… more intense, more sorrowful.

Even the strongest of men, the most excellent of men, the most confident of men… have their moments of vulnerability.

“I’m sorry.”

Zhao Yingjun held Lin Xian and patted his back:

“Sorry, I… I was too anxious. But what in the world is going on?”

“Where did Qiaoqiao go?”

Lin Xian let out a breath.

He released Zhao Yingjun, placed his hands on her shoulders, and spoke softly:

“She went home.”

“Home?”

Zhao Yingjun was confused:

“Which home? Qiaoqiao’s home… she’s our child, her home is right here! East Sea is her home!”

“Lin Xian, don’t lie to me, I’m prepared for anything, I can accept anything, but I can’t accept lies.”

“I’m not lying to you.”

Lin Xian raised his head:

“She belongs here, yet she doesn’t; she comes from the future but not from our future; I know this might be hard for you to understand. Her real name is not Yan Qiaoqiao, it’s… Lin Yuxi.”

“Lin… Yuxi…”

Zhao Yingjun muttered the name.

She remembered the discussions she’d had with Lin Xian before, remembered the little girl with sunglasses from that mistaken DNA incident.

No wonder, she liked the name so much then.

No wonder, she immediately envisioned the meaning behind giving the child this name.

It was a name she had chosen for herself!

“Then we…”

Zhao Yingjun’s voice trembled slightly as she looked up at Lin Xian:

“Can we still bring Yuxi…”

“Back?”

Ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong——

At that moment, Lin Xian’s phone rang.

He looked at it and saw it was a call from Liu Feng.

Calling at this time…

It must be.

Definitely something to do with the Space-Time Clock, the curvature of space-time, the world line changing again.

Lin Xian answered the phone:

“Hello?”

“Lin Xian! Something big happened!”

Liu Feng roared:

“The readings on the Space-Time Clock changed again! But that’s not the worst part, what I really need to tell you is… the Entangled State of Time-Space Particle! It… it… it’s fully recharged!”

Listening to Liu Feng’s roar.

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes.

So…

That’s how it is.

Is it likely related to Lin Yuxi turning into a sky full of stardust just now?

After all… that Entangled State of Time-Space Particle, is the core of Lin Yuxi herself, the source of energy binding her to her travel through time.

Maybe, it could also be related to the disappearance of No. 17.

In any case, with the disappearance of Lin Yuxi and No. 17, the Entangled State of Time-Space Particle has recharged once again.

This is a disaster destined to be stolen by Copernicus.

Or is it…

A precious opportunity?

“Wait for me in the lab.”

Having said that, Lin Xian hung up the call.

He looked down at Zhao Yingjun:

“Yingjun, listen to me.”

His words were filled with resolve:

“First thing, there is a head to every debt and a debtor to every account. As Yuxi’s father, I can’t accept that someone made my daughter suffer this much. If I could swallow this grudge and not avenge Yuxi… I would be unworthy of being a father.”

“I’ve already figured out what to do, and I will prove it with actions. That’s the first thing I wanted to tell you.”

“Then, the second thing is a promise to you.”

Lin Xian looked into Zhao Yingjun’s eyes:

“Not protecting our daughter was my fault, my responsibility, and I will take responsibility for it.”

He bent down to pick up the family photo that had fallen to the ground.

Placing it in Zhao Yingjun’s hands.

He held onto her hand:

“[Don’t leave Yuxi…]”

Lin Xian said softly:

“This time, I finally understand.”
