You might not believe it, but Yuan Li never imagined that someone who had existed in his memories for so long would now be standing right in front of him, and he wouldn't recognize him!
“Talk about running into each other everywhere. Seriously, man, why are you haunting me?”
“Because you're good-looking, Instructor. Can't I take a couple more looks?”
Even more unbelievable, Xia Lizhou had no idea he'd really travel back to the past in the future and end up mentoring that person. Hmm, what do you call this? You have to start raising your wife young!
“Brother Zhouzhou, will you come back?”
“You'll see me in the future. Keep it up, little one.”
At this point, the two of them's personal companion Systems said: Are you two ever going to stop? Hurry up and see if you can act out this script. If you can't, switch to another one. Why are you being all lovey-dovey over there?
Xia, the one who'd been called over: “A Li, this script is hard to act out. I have to lose a finger, too.”
Yuan Li: “You're sick.”
(Keeping this here as an archive until I've revised it to my satisfaction, so I'll be editing it endlessly. I deleted the 2019 version once, and now I'm giving it a major overhaul. Its original title was Ri Principles.)
I'll update the setting from time to time. The chances of this ever getting written are slim, but! These are the first batch of characters from a story I started working on in middle school, scribbling ideas on sticky notes with my bestie Bai Yuhe for a crossover (Te in progress). So one day, I will finish writing it!
Theme: Believe in yourself. You're the best.
