The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to Be in True Love

Time separates this pair of lovers. When Jack and Vieruodis stood together, they looked like a grandparent with a grandchild.

In the face of everyone’s incredulous gaze, Vieruodis laughed: “You say, how can he and I be a couple?”

She said to herself: You are so old, how can you be with him?

She said to herself: You are so ugly, how can you be with him?

If I could make a potion of rejuvenation, would I be able to be with him?

In her memory, the freckled teenager gave the watch to the girl: We were born to be together.3

“Why not?” Jack walked over to Vieruodis and gently placed his pocket watch on her lap: “We were born to be together.”

As Jack approached, Vieruodis subconsciously tried to hide her face, but it was gently cupped in the boy’s hands and he said earnestly: “You see, nobody loves this little kid and no one wants to pursue an old woman, so we should be together.”

Vieruodis’s eyes were dazed as Jack winked: “Although our time moves in different directions, we can still die at the same time.”

A transparent liquid slid down the wrinkles and Vieruodis closed her eyes: “… too ugly, too unseemly.”

“Then don’t let them see us. Let’s take a risk and go to a place where there is no one else.” Jack kissed the corner of Vieruodis’ eye: “Stop avoiding me, we’ve missed too much time.”

Vieruodis just kept shedding tears, her mouth trembling but saying nothing. Jack’s smile also became infected with bitterness.

“Your lover is obviously him, why should you pay attention to what you see in other people’s eyes?”

The onlookers turned around in astonishment, looking at the silver-haired elf who had said those words. Even Vieruodis cannot help but gaze at him in astonishment.

Du Ze looked at Xiu but found that Xiu seemed to have been watching him from beginning to end. It was as if the sentence Xiu said just now was meant for Du Ze. When Xiu saw Du Ze looking at him, Xiu’s hand trembled as if he wanted to reach out and touch Du Ze, but he restrained himself.

—The person who likes you obviously is me, why should you pay attention to other people’s thoughts.

Accepting me … Is it so difficult?

Du Ze seemed to be able to read this information from Xiu’s green eyes, but he hung his head, breaking off the eye contact.

I never cared what other people would think.

I never said … I don’t like it.

This person is the person he cares most about in the world. Initially it was because of guilt and responsibility, but he took care of Xiu for such a long time that now he is unable to distinguish what emotions he really feels for Xiu.

He wants Xiu to be good. He wants to be good to Xiu. If Xiu wants anything, he will give it to him, but he can’t give him this because they will regret it.

The person Xiu wants, the person Xiu cares about, it can be anyone in this world, but it should never be this person called Du Ze.

He wondered how long he could stay in this world.

As Cecil’s story shows, when time is frozen for one side of a couple, what follows next is a separation.

He doesn’t have time to freeze but he has the 0-point restore.

This golden finger, which has been there ever since he came to this world, has reminded him from beginning to end:

You are not the man of this world.

So sooner or later you will leave.
