Chapter 122 Time is like a song

Tang Xingguo's funeral was very simple.

His two sons presided over the arrangement. According to his own wishes, he only invited some relatives and friends to hold a memorial service.There were also former business partners who heard the news, and Tang Ruize and Tang Tang received them one by one.

In the end, Tang Xingguo was buried beside Ruan Zhen.The loving couple, who had been separated for decades, finally came together.

Tang Jialang and Tang Hongda discussed the issue of property distribution, Tang Ruize sorted out the relics, and only Tang Tang was left with nothing to do in the entire Tang family.

He stood in front of the small tomb for a long time, staring at the photos of his grandparents.

"Go back?" Lu Yuxing supported his shoulder.

Tang Tang swayed, a little unsteady.Lu Yuxing gradually understands that the pain of losing a loved one will not be alleviated by going back in time many times, but will only tear the wound in his heart again and again.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuxing thought of Cui Yuqin.

"Your grandfather... told me one thing before he was alive." Aunt Zhang choked up, "After finishing this thing, I should leave here too."

The sea breeze blew gently, and the sound of the waves gradually faded away.The three left the cemetery and returned to Tang Xingguo's small house.

Tang Ruize was upstairs packing up Tang Xingguo's belongings. He has been busy since Tang Xingguo came home from the hospital, and he hasn't slept for several days.

When he came down from upstairs, he saw three people going into the backyard.

"What are you doing?" Tang Ruize looked into his reddened eyes, "Do you need help?"

The courtyard was sunny, with golden light shining down, and the dewy grass was full of warmth.

Aunt Zhang took the shovel for weeding from the corner, Tang Tang's heart moved, and he looked at Lu Yuxing.

I saw her walking to a certain place on the grass, squatting down by the sun lounger, and touching it.

"It's here." She pointed to a piece of grass, raised her head and asked, "Dig it yourself?"

Lu Yuxing had already guessed a little bit, so he stepped forward, took the shovel from Aunt Zhang, and carefully dug up the grass.

The fragrance of the grass was mixed with the soil, Lu Yuxing shoveled it down deeply, carefully brought out the soil above the roots of the grass, and then dug down.

Tang Ruize also came over, watching his movements with bated breath.

The bushes in the courtyard shook, and after a while, Lu Yuxing stopped moving.

In the soft soil, a corner of the sunken wooden box was exposed.

He put down the shovel, pulled the box out with his bare hands, pressed the hidden button lightly, and the box lid opened.

——The wisteria pocket watch lies quietly inside, the silver surface reflects the light and shines brightly.

On the dial, the second hand is moving rapidly.If Lu Yuxing observes carefully, he will find that it is twice as fast as the ordinary second hand.

"Tang Tang..."

Lu Yuxing turned around and showed it to Tang Tang, but when he looked up, he saw that Tang Tang was already in tears.

Only later did he know that Tang Tang spent the happiest days of his childhood in this backyard.Tang Xingguo hugged him every afternoon, lying on this chair to bask in the sun and telling him stories.

A hundred years later, Tang Xingguo buried the most precious things here and left them to his favorite little grandson.

Lu Yuxing stuffed the dirt-covered box into his hands, cupped his face, and kissed his eyes.Tang Tang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he tightly clutched the box in his hand.

"I'm leaving." Aunt Zhang said goodbye to everyone with difficulty, "Say goodbye to Tang Jialang and Mr. Tang Hongda for me." She turned around and pushed out her luggage, "I have been here for decades, and I should go home gone."

"We will keep in touch in the future." Tang Ruize stepped forward and gave her a hug.He lost his mother at the age of eight, and Aunt Zhang was just like his mother.

After finishing all the affairs, Tang Tang and Lu Yuxing boarded Tang Ruize's private plane and returned home together.

They took some soil from the backyard and planned to put it at their home on Jinning Road to grow some flowers and plants.

The heavy wooden box was placed on the table, and the wisteria wrapped in velvet cloth lay quietly inside, and the mechanical sound of the second hand moving could be heard.

"This is the wisteria that grandpa mentioned." Tang Tang explained, "When I was young, he told me about it as a fairy tale."

Tang Ruize sat across from the two, frowning and staring at this exquisite pocket watch.

"Can it be removed?" he asked.

There was silence in the cabin.

Wisteria's second hand moves very fast, staring at his dial for too long, there is an illusion that life is being stolen by it.

After a while, Lu Yuxing wrapped it in flannelette and took it into his hand to observe.

Under the cover with a hollow pattern, there are two dials, one large and one small, the large one indicates the time and the small one displays the date.Under this surface, there are countless fine mechanical gears, as well as that mysterious force.

He remembered the conversation between Tang Xingguo and Tang Tang seven years ago.

—— "Don't move that second hand."

——"If you refuse to separate from him, I have no choice but to erase his memory."

What's the meaning?Damage to Wisteria's dial will cause him to lose his memory?

Why him and not Tang Tang?

Lu Yuxing had some clues about the cause of his amnesia, but was this intentional by Tang Tang, or was it an accident?

He glanced at Tang Tang, who was still absent-minded, staring at the sea of ​​clouds outside the window in a daze.

Lu Yuxing sighed, chose to trust Tang Tang, and stopped thinking about it.

Compared with the memory he had forgotten, the person in front of him worried him more.

From Vancouver all the way back to Jinning Road, Tang Tang has always been out of his mind.

Tang Ruize sent the two of them to the door, and Lu Yuxing led Tang Tang into the door, hugging him tightly in his arms.

"Hey, don't be too sad." He rubbed Tang Tang's forehead, "Grandpa knows he will be sad."

Tang Tang nodded feebly and let out a snort against his chest.

"Accompany you to take a bath, go to bed and sleep, okay?"

Lu Yuxing helped him take off his clothes and carried him to the bathroom.

Tang Tang huddled in the bathtub naked, hugging his knees, watching Lu Yuxing turn on the hot water, undressed, sat in, and hugged him in front of him.

"Baby, talk to me." Lu Yuxing wiped the dirt between his fingers and circled him worriedly, "I'm worried about you like this."

The intimate address brought Tang Tang back to his senses, he sighed, hugged Lu Yuxing's knee, and rubbed it obsessively.

"I'm so stupid." He said sullenly. "You still hold on to hope, maybe grandpa won't die this time."

His thin back is slightly curved, and the protruding knuckles can be seen on the smooth nape of his neck.

Lu Yuxing felt a little sad, and leaned over to kiss his back softly.

"Don't be afraid, I will always be with you." He whispered.

Tang Tang turned his head and took a long kiss with him.

The two stayed together in the bathroom for a long time, Lu Yuxing wrapped Tang Tang in a bath towel, carried him back to the bed, covered him with the quilt, and lay down side by side.

"Better?" He turned to look at Tang Tang, "Go to sleep."

Tang Tang looked tired, but his face was flushed with satisfaction.

"Ah Xing, you also have this fluke mentality, right?" He reached out and touched Lu Yuxing's face.

"Of course." Lu Yuxing smiled wryly, "No one wants their loved ones to leave them."

The two got together, touched skin to skin, kissed and hugged slowly, and separated after a while.

"Go on vacation and relax." Lu Yuxing held his hand, "Bring my parents, let's find an island to live for a month."

A smile finally appeared on Tang Tang's face, "Okay, I'll celebrate your 30th birthday."

Seeing him smile, Lu Yuxing finally felt relieved.He pinched Tang Tang's waist and threatened, "Do you think I'm old?"

"I don't think so." Tang Tang kissed him on the bridge of the nose, "I just like the handsome old man...haha...don't scratch me!"

The two fought under the quilt for a while, and finally Tang Tang was restrained by Lu Yuxing, and he was pressed on the bed, unable to move, so he had to sleep peacefully.

Wisteria lay quietly on the bedside table, making a slight mechanical sound.

The author says:

I didn't consider the issue of birthday when I wrote the character design before, but according to the development of the timeline, Lao Lu's birthday should be in September, and he is a virgin male.

Big things will happen at the age of 30, and there are ambushes ahead.

Since some Bao’er didn’t understand, I’ll summarize the information revealed by Grandpa: 1. The pocket watch may be opened by Tang Tang or Lu Yuxing; 2. The current timeline is their second reincarnation; 3. The backtracking point is determined by the parties themselves;

Other unresolved questions, look forward to the follow-up ~
