Opposite the Jiaping Building, Fragrant Milk Tea Shop.
It was still the same seat by the window. Lu Han sat there, staring blankly at the milk tea cup in his hand.
It was as if he could see a flower.
It was not until Zuo Yi sat down opposite him that the director of the investigation department of the Jiangnan Supernatural Authority came back to his senses and asked apologetically, "Left Counsellor, did I disturb you?"
"It's fine."
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "I'm not busy with work, so I still have time to come out for a cup of milk tea."
Lu Han laughed and said, "What do you want to drink? It's my treat."
Zuo Yi did not refuse and said to the waiter in the shop, "Give me a cup of coffee and milk tea, thank you."
After the milk tea was delivered, he asked, "Director Lu, why are you looking for me today?"
Lu Han took a sip of milk tea and said, "Next month, I'm going to the Wild World."
"You're going to the Wild World?"
Zuo Yi was a little surprised. "When are you coming back?"
The Wild World was another world that the seven World Stones could directly teleport to. It was a world that had existed for a long time and was being conquered by the Blue Star World.
Now, Zuo Yi already knew what kind of chess game the World Consciousness of the Main World was playing.
Although he was not very interested in this Wild World, Zuo Yi had some basic understanding of it through Wu Yongjian.
The Wild World was a large world with a vast territory and many races that used magic and totem power as the foundation of Transcendents.
For many years, Transcendents from the Blue Star World entered the Wild World continuously to help the humans of the Wild World resist the invasion of the elves and beasts, and they built many fortresses and strongholds.
These fortresses and strongholds were the strongholds of the Bluestar Transcendents to conquer the Wild World. However, compared to the powerful elves and beasts, they were always at a disadvantage, and every step of development was extraordinarily difficult.
This was actually very normal. Even for the wizards and knights of the Sadeya World, conquering a new world was not easy, and it was not strange that it would take hundreds of years for this.
The root of this was the restriction of laws. Different worlds had different restrictions.
The technological products of the Blue Star World couldn't be used in the Desolate World. After being transported over, they would quickly decay and disappear. Most of the products of the Desolate World were no exception.
According to Zuo Yi's understanding, the Extraordinaries of the Main World were currently developing the steam civilization in the Desolation World, using the local resources and new technological thinking to fight against powerful enemies.
The war between worlds had only just begun!
He didn't expect Lu Han to actually want to go to the Wild World.
Zuo Yi had a good impression of the Director of the Investigation Department — Lu Han was a good person.
Zuo Yi's Cherokee was given to the Motor Speedster Management Bureau to be remodeled. He originally thought that it was a privilege for consultants, but later he found out that it was Lu Han's privilege that was given to him.
Speaking of which, he owed Lu Han a favor.
"At least two or three years."
Lu Han said, "Maybe I can only come back when I'm promoted to Rank A."
After a pause, he added, "I don't know if you know, but it's easier to promote in the Desolate World than here."
"I see."
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "Does that mean you're going to study in another world?"
"It's hard to predict whether it's a blessing or a curse!"
Lu Han smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I don't want to go, but I can't disobey the orders!"
"Oh."
Zuo Yi asked, "Director Lu, do you have any difficulties that you need my help with?"
Lu Han looked a little embarrassed.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out his wallet and took out a photo from the compartment. He showed it to Zuo Yi and said, "Do you know her?"
Zuo Yi: "…"
What the hell, he just saw this person on the phone just now!
Everyone in Da Xia knows her.
Zuo Yi couldn't help but say, "Don't tell me she's your daughter."
"Her surname is supposed to be Lu …"
Lu Han said bitterly, "I also gave her the name Lu Jingyuan, but she has never acknowledged me."
Lu Han's daughter was born of his first love. She was pregnant when they broke up. At that time, Lu Han didn't know at all.
When he found out the truth, it was at the end of his first love's life.
But at that time, Lu Jingyuan was already a fifteen-year-old girl. The latter couldn't accept Lu Han as a father who had never done anything to fulfill his responsibilities.
"Later, my wife divorced me after she found out the truth, and Jingyuan lived with her aunt."
Lu Han held the cup of milk tea and said disappointedly, "She grew up day by day and became a star. All I could do was try my best to protect her and not let others bully her."
Zuo Yi finally understood why Qin Qin's cousin, Qin Yan, called Lu Han a scumbag that day.
But Lu Han was also a little wronged.
He said in a low voice, "But I'm going to the Desolation World next month."
Zuo Yi's eyes flashed. "Someone arranged for you to go?"
"Yes."
Lu Han nodded. "Because of Jingyuan. There are a lot of people pursuing her. Even Officer Wu is afraid of some of them. This time, I don't even know who is behind it."
"I'm worried that she will be in trouble after I leave!"
Zuo Yi frowned. "Can't you refuse?"
"If I refuse …"
Lu Han calmly replied, "Then I will definitely lose my current position. I won't even be able to stay in the Superpower Management Bureau. At that time, not only will I not be able to protect Jingyuan, but I will also be unable to protect myself!"
"For Jingyuan, I have offended a lot of people."
"I'm not afraid of death. I'm just afraid that after I die, no one will be able to protect her."
He said it very calmly, but when Zuo Yi heard it, he could not help but feel a surge of anger!
Zuo Yi could feel that Lu Han was telling the truth. The guilt he felt towards Jingyuan and the anger he felt towards fate couldn't be faked.
It was because of this that Zuo Yi was moved.
Because Zuo Yi was also a father. He also had a daughter.
Just think about it, if he was Lu Han, what kind of mood would he have when faced with such a situation?
He would even want to kill someone!
"Left Counsellor …"
Lu Han said in a low voice. "I know this is a very troublesome matter. It might even bring you danger. Other than my life, I really don't have anything to repay you."
"Right now, I'm only begging you as a father. I hope you can help me."
"Officer Wu told me that if there is anyone in the world who can protect Jingyuan, you must be one of them!"
"I see."
Zuo Yi took a deep breath and said, "Give her to me. I'll protect her before you come back from the wild world."
In the name of a father.
"Thank you!"
Lu Han said excitedly. "Left Counsellor, I won't say any more words of thanks. If I can come back alive, I won't refuse even if you ask me to go through water and tread on fire!"
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "Director Lu, you're exaggerating."
"No."
Lu Han shook his head and said, "I'm very serious."
Zuo Yi changed the topic and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Jingyuan will come to Hangzhou to hold a concert next month …"
Lu Han said, "I asked her aunt to specially arrange it. She will come to Hangzhou at the end of the month."
He rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment, "Left Counsellor, if possible, I want her to live in your house. What do you think?"
"Okay."
Since he had promised Lu Han, Zuo Yi had no objection to such an arrangement. It just so happened that he had a new house.
"Thank you very much."
Lu Han was suddenly overjoyed and said, "I'll go back and arrange it now. Left Counsellor, please!"
Zuo Yi couldn't help but ask, "Director Lu, aren't you afraid that I'll have bad thoughts about your daughter?"
Lu Han laughed and said, "Will you?"
Zuo Yi laughed and said, "No."
"I believe you."
Lu Han said frankly, "Left Counsellor, although we haven't known each other for a long time, I know that you are a good father. I'm very relieved to leave Jingyuan to you."
Zuo Yi nodded.
Everything was said without words.
After Lu Han left, Zuo Yi slowly drank the coffee and milk tea.
He didn't know why, but he suddenly remembered his first love. He remembered that the last time they met was at the high school reunion five years ago.
The taste of a first love that didn't have a result might be like the cup of milk tea in his hand, sweet and bitter.
There was also the fragrance of memories.
