Mountain villa, living room.

Han Mengyao and Li Guanqi pushed open the door and entered the spacious living room.

The first thing that caught people's attention was the large fish tank placed in the corner. There were several golden carps swimming happily in the tank.

"This is your dad's favorite."

Han Mengyao smiled and looked at Li Guanqi, "He loved fish farming and fishing during his lifetime, and he often took your mother and me to the nearby lake to fish."

"……No."

Li Guanqi shook his head, with complicated eyes, "In my impression, what he hates most is fish.

The person who likes fish farming and fishing...that's me.

When I was a child, I loved fish.

But my dad doesn't like it.

Once, I was...about nine years old?

I took the fish I caught from the river home, cut a big plastic bottle, filled it with water, and kept the fish in it.

When my dad came home, he asked me to throw it away.

I don't want to.

I had a fight with my dad.

He is a very macho man and always sticks to his word at home, so my rebelliousness made him feel very angry.

My dad was furious.

Since then, there has never been any fish in our house...well, except for those on the table, of course."

As he said that, Li Guanqi smiled.

But there was no smile in his eyes, there were just tears shining slightly.

"..."

Seeing this scene, Han Mengyao pursed her lips and gently held Li Guanqi's hand without saying anything else.

What kind of thing can make a man who hates fish the most choose to fish and raise fish in his later years?

She and Li Guanqi knew it very well.

The old man named Li Yangqiu raised the fish in the fish tank and fished by the lake, but they were not actually "fish".

It was the longing for his son who had disappeared for many years, and the... guilt for what he had done in his childhood.

"I never blamed him."

Li Guanqi looked at Han Mengyao with a bitter smile, "I was still young at that time, and I had only one hobby every day. If I wasn't allowed to raise fish, I wouldn't raise it. How could I ever blame him? I had forgotten this a long time ago... But he

, but he still remembers."

Han Mengyao held his hand and looked at him without speaking.

But those beautiful eyes filled with affection seemed to have spoken a thousand words and countless words of comfort.

"call--"

Li Guanqi took a deep breath and calmed down before looking down at his right hand and making a fist.

After the simulator obtains the "Time Earrings" and collects three time items, it unlocks a new function, time retrieval, which is actually similar to a superpower.

The feeling of activating this ability is similar to activating a special ability.

And now, he is ready to activate this ability.

"Buzz——"

In Li Guanqi's right hand, little bits of gold and silver light suddenly appeared, gradually spreading out and covering the entire mountain villa.

Go back in time!

soon.

The entire villa area has changed.

It was clearly early morning before, and the sun outside was bright, but now it suddenly became dim. Looking out the window, the sky was pitch black, filled with colorful twisted light groups.

Li Guanqi has seen this scene before.

In the ancient ruins of the strange world, in that broken small world, the edge of the world also looks like this - in an incomplete world, the edge of space will have this appearance.

The Dream Viewing Sanctuary is located in an alien space, and this alien space is not an independent world, so naturally such a situation will occur.

"here we go."

Li Guanqi's eyes narrowed slightly.

Time travel has begun.

The period we are looking back to now is when the Dream Viewing Sanctuary has not yet built the Mimic Sky Screen.

Li Guanqi withdrew his gaze and looked into the living room again.

The living room at this time was also very different from before. The placement and style of various furniture were different, and the lights were bright.

It didn't take long.

The figure of an old man wearing a light blue sweater gradually appeared in front of the fish tank.

He was a very tall old man. Even though he was old and frail and his body was stooped, he still looked more than 1.8 meters tall.

He just leaned on crutches and stood quietly in front of the fish tank, staring at the fish swimming in the tank with a dazed expression.

"Father-in-law?! This..."

When Han Mengyao saw this scene, she immediately looked in disbelief.

She quickly looked at Li Guanqi beside her, only to find that the man had tears streaming down his face, but he stood motionless.

"My dad is old."

Li Guanqi wiped the tears on his face, took a deep breath, and then chuckled: "This should be when he is 70 or 80 years old?"

Han Mengyao suddenly understood.

This scene now is not real.

"Probably after the age of 82."

Han Mengyao looked at the old man in blue shirt in front of the fish tank and said softly: "This blue sweater is my 82nd birthday gift to him. It is knitted by myself. By the way, your mother taught me how to knit sweaters."

Where's mine?"

"ha……"

Li Guanqi looked at the stooped old man in blue shirt who was leaning on crutches, and smiled with tears in his eyes, "Mengyao, you know, he used to be very strong, and he especially loved to exercise, and it was not about cardiopulmonary exercise.

Just by simply building muscles, he will look stronger than me when he is 50 years old."

But as people age, muscles atrophy.

Li Guanqi never dared to imagine that that strong man would one day become so thin.

"..."

The scene of going back in time reappeared, silently.

At the top of the stairs, suddenly an old woman holding a cane slowly went downstairs and came to the living room with the help of a woman.

That woman was clearly Han Mengyao back then, no different from now.

As for the old woman, although she is old, her eyebrows are gentle and kind, and even though her face is wrinkled, it is not difficult to see that she must have been as beautiful as the woman next to her when she was young.

"mom……"

Li Guanqi smiled and said, "My mother is old too. By the way, have you seen what she looked like when she was young?"

"certainly."

Han Mengyao also smiled and looked at him and joked: "My mother-in-law was really beautiful when she was young. I often told her that it would be a pity not to become a star after she retired as an athlete. Also, if you inherit the beauty from your mother-in-law,

A little, maybe he's not any worse in appearance than Lin Daochang."

"Forget it."

Li Guanqi shook his head and laughed, "Men don't have to be so good-looking. I am very satisfied that I can inherit my father's toughness."

"That's right."

Han Mengyao smiled and gently rested her head on his shoulder.

After that, neither of them spoke anymore.

The effect of time rewind is still continuing, and the rewind screen begins to change.

Sometimes the lights are brightly lit, as bright as day.

Sometimes the lights are all turned off, like late at night.
To be continued...
