“Gazing into time as though staring into my own soul. Time flies with a myriad of thoughts.”
He sang the first verse very gently and his gaze was no longer dejected, it was filled with focus; focus on the child before him, focus on his eyes. It was as if he could relieve the questioning of his soul through him.
Lan Xuanyu was a little dazed as he listened, but he felt that Master Le’s gaze was especially sincere and there was an inexplicable sorrow ingrained in those clear blue eyes.
“Hope from within comes unexpectedly. To catch a glimpse is to flicker the emotions within.”
Master Le smiled and retracted his sadness, his smile seemed to be only for Lan Xuanyu and it gave Lan Xuanyu a sense of warmth that spread through his body.
Ever since he woke up, Lan Xuanyu had been feeling lethargic and dizzy, he was in low spirits but at this very moment, this feeling gradually faded away with Master Le’s voice. His thinking became clearer and it had stirred him up.
“The familiarity of time as it calls out to me. It guides me to seek hope.”
Master Le’s voice became slightly softer and to the fans, the hope that Master Le was looking for was in this little person in his arms.
“Hope is near, yet filled with fear. The desire to hold it, yet afraid it disappears.”
“Hope is near, with its joy and tomorrow. The ephemeral time, that is, filled with hope.”
Master Le’s voice became more and more mellifluous, but his dejectedness seemed to return once again.
“My hope is near, I won’t get lost. But I dare not touch it for fear it disappears.”
Lan Xuanyu, who was in his arms, seemed to become his treasure; he couldn’t bear and was unwilling to let this precious moment end just like that.
“Time is hope! Please stay by my side, don’t leave me, or I’d rather never have you.”
“Time is hope! Please tell me why. Why does the familiarity feel so way back.”
His voice echoed and Lan Xuanyu felt like his soul swayed. He was immersed in his voice and he could feel Master Le’s grip around him tighten slightly like he was afraid to lose him.
The song ended and the entire place was silent.
Master Le lowered his head and kissed Lan Xuanyu on his forehead then mumbled, “Protect time, protect you!”
Lan Xuanyu was in a daze. He didn’t know why but a special feeling exploded inside him. The vortex that Nana created inside him previously began to rotate violently. Both the golden and silver halos blended with one another and the entire vortex seemed to have an increased viscosity; it was no longer fighting one another like before. Lan Xuanyu clearly felt that his Spirit Power had increased a bit at this moment.
Applause resounded.
This time, there was no cheering, only applause. Master Le’s deep gaze at that child and that sweet-sounding voice.
It was as if he was using this song to tell everyone: “Yes, we don’t only protect our lover, we also protect our family.”
Protect time, protect you, treasure the moments and everything around you.
He gave a different take of this song again today. God of singing, he was truly a god of singing!
Master Le brought Lan Xuanyu back to his seat personally, “Thank you, little friend. Could you tell me your name?”
“I am Lan Xuanyu.” Lan Xuanyu blinked. “Sir, I like you.”
“I like you too because you gave me hope in my moment of confusion.” Master Le smiled.
The concert was a great success once again, that part when Master Le carried Lan Xuanyu really allowed the fans to see his soft side.
Lan Xuanyu also completely recovered through this song.
The only depressed one in the family was Lan Xiao because from this night onwards, he slept on the sofa for a week…
A week later.
After the concert ended, Lan Xuanyu followed his parents home and his physical condition had clearly improved. After several checks to confirm that he was fine, he was faced with a new problem whether to stay at the Zi Luo Branch Academy or to move to the Elite Junior Class.
Obviously, Nan Cheng didn’t want her son to advance to the Elite Junior Class. Not only did they have to move to Heaven Luo City, but more importantly, Heaven Luo Academy had hurt her son before. Who could guarantee that the same problem would not happen again?
The simulator could still malfunction again.
Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng had a little disagreement because of this issue. Lan Xiao felt that they should still let their son attend the Elite Junior Class. The quality of teaching would definitely be better with different teaching resources. The best resources in Heaven Luo Academy would be used on the Elite Junior Class.
“Xuanyu, do you want to go to the Elite Junior Class?” Nan Cheng asked her son.
“Mommy, I want to,” Lan Xuanyu answered without a doubt.
Lan Xiao grinned as he watched by the side. He and Nan Cheng’s final decision was to listen to their son and let Lan Xuanyu decide for himself.
Nan Cheng still didn’t want to give up and asked, “Why do you want to go?”
“In order to protect Mommy!” Lan Xuanyu replied naturally.
Nan Cheng was taken aback. Lan Xuanyu then continued, “If I was as good as Teacher Nana, I would be able to protect Mommy.”
“What a good son.” Lan Xiao stepped forward and hugged Lan Xuanyu. What could Nan Cheng say at this moment? Her heart has already melted.
Finally, the entire family reached a common understanding and decided to move! As it involves a job transfer and settling down at Heaven Luo City, Lan Xuanyu’s family finally arrived at this big foreign city at Heaven Luo Planet after half a month.
Heaven Luo City was a flatland located in the middle of the two continents of Heaven Luo Planet. It was the most important city in Heaven Luo Planet along with the Rising Sky City in the Spirit Sky Continent. Also, Heaven Luo City has the space center which allowed for interplanetary traveling. In a certain sense, it was placed above the Rising Sky City.
Compared to Zi Luo City, just the area alone was much bigger. Its area was about five times of Zi Luo City and with the space center in the middle of the city, the outward radiation vaguely formed a huge hexagon. Hence, the city was divided into six regions as designed in its early days.
These six regions were named after colors and were namely: white zone, yellow zone, purple zone, black zone, red zone, and orange zone.
It was said that the designer was very lazy and directly used the colors of the Spirit Rings to differentiate them from each other.
