Moran was a bit speechless.
But she closed her mouth and said no more.
After all, now the only way to wake Vivian was to rely on Su Wan.
**
A few days later.
Ancient Earth, 2022.
A white BMW stopped in front of the bustling Ginza Shopping Mall. Su Wan took off her sunglasses and said to Moran, "You go park the car, we’ll go in and look around first."
The four people in the car were Su Wan and her group.
Having changed out of their Interstellar Era uniforms and into casual clothes of Ancient Earth, none of the group had any beastly body parts on display. However, they were all too striking in appearance, so they needed so disguises.
Previously, Su Wan had been worried about Bai Li’s showy silver hair, which on Ancient Earth, not even the typical pop stars would dare to sport.
But he was remarkable — he had turned his silver hair black and altered his appearance to the ordinary look he had when he went to school as an exchange student. Of course, ordinary by Interstellar Era standards, but still quite handso on Ancient Earth.
As for Su Wan and Gu Yan’s appearances, there was no need to ntion.
Wearing masks and sunglasses made it a bit better.
Moran was speechless, "You’re ordering around now? Alright, I’ll go park. You guys go ahead and shop, I’ll co find you later."
Su Wan had already turned around, holding her daughter Gu Yan’s hand, and they walked in.
Bai Li lagged a few steps behind the mother and daughter.
The three walked through the revolving doors, greeted by the blast of cool air that made them feel much more comfortable. The world here had distinct seasons, distinct cold and warmth.
Unlike Landis Star, where the weather and temperature were the sa throughout the year.
Gu Yan remarked, "Although it was really hot just now, and it’s cold in winter, I still feel it’s better to have the distinct seasons."
Su Wan replied, "But when people have it, they don’t cherish it. Who would know that even the seasons being cold when they’re supposed to be cold, and hot when they’re supposed to be hot, would beco such a luxury."
She glanced at Bai Li walking beside them, who appeared indifferent, and added, "So we should cherish what we have now, otherwise we may regret it too late when we’ve missed it."
Bai Li: "..."
Was his mother-in-law hinting at sothing?
Although Gu Yan had been to Ancient Earth with Bai Li before, she was still very interested in the bustling shopping mall.
When they passed by an arcade, she couldn’t hide her interest anymore.
Well, to Su Wan and the others, these arcade machines seed very primitive, especially that "Interstellar Wars" one... But it’s like having played large-scale holographic gas and then still enjoying a ga of Tetris.
Not to ntion that Gu Yan, although born in the Interstellar Era and having been on a spaceship, really hadn’t driven one.
But what surprised Su Wan was that Bai Li, who could take down a spaceship with a wave of his hand, was actually willing to accompany Xiaoyan to play such childish gas.
Yes, the various ga machines in this arcade would probably seem very kiddish to a few years old child from the Interstellar Era.
The reason why Su Wan let Bai Li co along this ti was partly in hopes that he could protect Xiaoyan. On the other hand, it was to observe up close their way of interacting.
And to give this "old bug" a score at the end.
Su Wan stayed for a while, feeling that part of Vivian’s soul should be in this area. However, to pinpoint it, an encounter was needed.
Furthermore, Moran was likely to have a better understanding of this place.
She bought a cup of milk tea, sat outside the ga arcade, and could still see her daughter Xiaoyan’s excited face.
As for Bai Li, that old bug, his expression didn’t change much, but perhaps worrying that soone might bump into Xiaoyan, he considerately guarded her side.
Su Wan sighed softly.
My precious daughter has grown up, alas, she might have to get married in the future, suddenly understanding the feelings her mother Lin Ranyue had back then.
At that mont, the wristwatch-style light computer flashed, it was Moran sending a ssage asking where they were.
Su Wan sent Moran their location.
When she looked up again, she found that Xiaoyan and Bai Li, who were originally in her line of sight, had disappeared?
Su Wan narrowed her eyes, stood up, and after taking only a few steps, was suddenly bumped by soone, causing her to lose her grip on the milk tea, which dropped to the ground.
Fortunately, it was already finished, so it wasn’t too much of a ss.
"I’m so sorry, I wasn’t paying attention, are you all right?"
The voice of the woman who spoke was very gentle and sowhat familiar; Su Wan stared at the middle-aged woman in front of her, dumbfounded.
The other woman lifted her head, and after seeing Su Wan’s face clearly, she appeared even more shocked than Su Wan!
The woman’s features were extrely similar to Su Wan’s, only the passage of ti had left its marks around her eyes and forehead, appearing to be in her forties, but with good fundantals; even after aging, she was still very gentle and beautiful.
This person was the one Su Wan had encountered when she first ca to Ancient Earth, sharing not only the sa na and surna as her but also a very similar appearance.
Because Su Wan was a Beastman, her appearance still stayed around her twenties, but after all, more than twenty years had passed since she left Ancient Earth.
The young girl from back then had turned into a middle-aged woman, but even so, the understanding they shared day after day back then allowed them instantly recognize each other.
"Is it you? You’ve finally co, I thought I’d never see you again!" Su Wan’s eyes slowly beca moist with happiness.
That year, the things she experienced, she had never told anyone.
Because no one would believe that her body had once hosted another soul.
Su Wan smiled and said, "I have restrictions and can’t co here often, being able to see you again is truly wonderful."
"I understand, I understand everything." Su Wan’s benefactor looked around and said, "You’re here for work, right? Can you stay for a few more days? Co sit in my restaurant once you’re done with your work."
If it weren’t for Su Wan’s help, her restaurant would have been taken away long ago.
Her life might have turned gray from that mont on.
eting her benefactor once again, Su Wan’s benefactor was as excited as if she were a young girl, as eting Su Wan again seed to bring her back to her own youth.
Su Wan nodded, "Sure, give your current address, I’ll co to see you after I finish my work before I leave."
"Okay, okay, here is my business card, I’ll see you after you’re done with your work."
The other party, worried about affecting Su Wan’s work, spoke briefly and left.
She walked past Moran, who had just arrived.
Moran gave Su Wan’s benefactor a second glance.
Turning her gaze back, Moran ca up to Su Wan and said in a low voice, "That woman looks a lot like you!"
"You should have guessed sothing."
"Could it be, the person you were before..." Moran didn’t finish, but they both understood each other’s aning; she nodded, "Because of the special connection between you two, you encountered her as soon as you ca here. That ans we should find Vivian soon."
