Follow the Light

Lin Yusen is a time traveler trapped in a rift in time and space. One thousand and forty-seven times he fell, each time in a different era - the Shangyuan Lantern Market in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the smoke battlefield where warlords fought, an ordinary high school in the 21st century, the porthole of a future starship - and every time, he would meet the same person. Sometimes that person is the taciturn bartender in Zuixianju, sometimes he is the cold-faced and warm-hearted young commander in front of the trenches, sometimes he is the transfer student doing questions by the window in the high school classroom, and sometimes he is the calm and focused scientific research officer in the medical cabin of the spaceship. Every time they met for the first time, every time Qin Huaihe didn't remember him, but every time he would put a warm kindness into Lin Yusen's hand at an inadvertent moment - a rabbit lantern, a bowl of batter with shredded meat, a peeled orange, and a cup of light blue nutrient solution. A line of text is always lit on the system's taskbar: Favorability 0/100. Lin Yusen only had a few days to get close to the person who would never recognize him again. Then before his favorability level was full, he was forcibly dragged away by the power of time and space and fell into the next node. He has dissipated from the morning fog in Chang'an, from the morning light beside the trench, and from the evening breeze on the rooftop. Every time he smiles and says "see you next time" to those unfamiliar eyes. One thousand and forty-seven reincarnations, one thousand and forty-six failures. But this time it's different. In the future, Qin Huaihe took the lead in developing the "memory retrospection cabin". In the resonance of the energy field in the core area of ​​​​the star stream, the memory gate spanning thousands of years suddenly opened. He remembered the rabbit lanterns in Chang'an, the flute sound in Qujiang Pond, the trembling fingers bandaging wounds by the trenches, and the strong grip on his wrists on the high school rooftop. He finally remembered - the person who disappeared around him every time was never a stranger. At the last moment in the core area of ​​​​the star stream, Qinhuaihe activated the energy anchor matrix, permanently locking the space-time channel. He grabbed Lin Yusen's wrist with the same strength as when they first held each other in Chang'an City a thousand years ago: "I won't let you go this time." On the system panel, the favorability score finally jumped to 100/100. The atmosphere of the blue star spread outside the window. After drifting for a long time and space, the two people arrived at their destination - a blue planet named "Anchor Point". This time, no one will disappear again, no one will need to say "see you next time". The light finally stopped, and the person chasing the light fell into the center of the light. Intention: pure love
