Yun Ciyuan, a scientist who surveys habitable planets, spent just two hours on Shuishui Star before urgently heading back.
But when he returned to the space station, nothing was right.
The space station, which had been on the verge of exploding, was perfectly intact. It was twice as large, and bustling with people coming and going.
He stopped a researcher at random, but the moment the other man saw his face, he froze. "Professor Yun... weren't you dead for over a hundred years?"
Yun Ciyuan: ?
He looked up and saw his own image on the memorial wall.
[Chief Surveyor Yun Ciyuan, lost during a mission to Shuishui Star.]
Beside his name was a note: [Left by his lover, Cang Jianshan, chief scientist of the space station.]
Yun Ciyuan: "..."
Who was whose lover?
The next second, footsteps sounded behind him.
A man with cool, composed features stood quietly at the end of the corridor, watching him.
It was none other than his longtime rival, Cang Jianshan, whom he had been competing with since their student days.
As it happened, they had slept together right before setting off.
·
Cang Jianshan had waited for Yun Ciyuan for over a hundred years.
Everyone said Yun Ciyuan was dead, but he refused to believe it.
He applied to resume the search again and again, failed again and again, and endured more than a century of long stretches of suspended animation and wakefulness.
Until that day.
He finally saw Yun Ciyuan standing in the light again, still young and full of life, just as he had been when he left.
A heart that had been dead for so long suddenly began to beat again.
