Chapter 144 - 6.4 Third Green Star - Everyone At One Place
3rd day of September
Saturday morning. At a certain under renovation orphanage, a white mini bus stopped in front of the towering walls that are under construction. The building of the orphanage is still the same ordinary dilapidated two floored old mansion but the under construction walls were made by countless carpenters and workers whose jobs are done with shifting hours.
In short the workers who were hired to renovate the orphanage work 24/7 with a shifting schedule. Two to four teams works for this restoration and enhancement.
This can only be done because the budget for the construction isn't limited. Unless the workers could continue the renovation within the next five months, the money would continue to flow from the Ximen Family's deep pockets.
Of course! The whole construction is under the strict observance of Yun Suisen. After his Master let him control the money to be used for the orphanage's restoration, he made sure that none of the money would be wasted. He even asked a few accountants to keep tally the cost of the whole project.
Based on the schedule the construction would be finished in 2 more months. Before Christmas arrives, the renovation of the orphanage should be done by then.
But because of the outing, the workers were given half a day rest. Since Yun Suisen and the rest would be leaving the orphanage and there will be no one to manage them.
As soon as the white mini bus stopped in front of the gates, Shi Moye who went down the vehicle looked at the strong walls half erected around the orphanage. Clearly this is an obvious preparation for the incoming end of the world.
But these kinds of walls were only able to prevent those cruel undead beings from entering for a few months. It can only use short term protection.
Seeing these walls, Shi Moye finally understood why Ximen Xueya didn't reject his sudden request about abruptly joining this outing for no credible reason. That man wanted him to personally visit this exact location for him to keep it in his mind. This is the place his beloved had grown up.
In short it's a place that his beloved considers as home and the people in it are his family members.
Shi Moye murmured, "I see. Ximen Xueya made me come over here for this purpose. He already knew that Yun Suisen is the most important person in my life. He wanted me to know the things my beloved treasures. This is clearly telling to get the people of this place be put under his wings."
"Not a person who underwent rebirth but still had knowledge of future events. Just what are you, Ximen Xueya?" murmured Shi Moye.
A smile appeared on his face when he saw his beloved coming over. He is delighted to see Yun Suisen smiling freely while being pulled by children. Even though he looks handsome and professional in his butler uniform, his casual attire of slick pants and hoodie made him look like a university student. A cheerful clamor was heard coming from the entrance of the building's orphanage. These are most children's excited voices.
Reaction of children whose age is lower than 10.
"Oniichan1~ Faster. faster. Someone is here to pick us up~"
"Brother Suisen~ is that what we are riding to the park!"
"Wow~ the car looks big!!"
Some children who are in high school and university responded.
"That's not a car but a bus."
"Don't pull at dage!"
"Be careful! You might trip! Ah!"
The old dean in his mid forties finally spoke, "Children! Don't run and stand in line. Only obedient children could join Master Ximen and Young Master Ximen to play in the amusement park!"
The children replied, "Yes!"
Hearing this, the children reaction like under controlled pups. With Yun Suisen in lead. They've all fallen in line according to height and age. Those younger ones were the first in line. There are nannies looking after them. These are hired baby sitters that Master Ximen had chosen. They were tasked to look after the youngsters of the orphanage. Only those in high school or in university were outside of the nanny's guidance but they would secretly protect the people Shi Moye had prepared. Those guards were already waiting in the amusement park in their casual clothes.
Shi Moye happily welcomed them, especially Yun Suisen. He first greeted the eldest in the crowd which the dean.
"Pleasant Morning, Dean. I am Shi Moye. I would accompany everyone in the park. My duty is to keep everyone safe."
The playful smirk on his lips made him approachable. The children's eyes sparkles seeing a strong looking man like Shi Moye before them.
"Wow~ Uncle you look so strong!"
"So tall... are you s*perman?"
"Uncle. uncle. You look so handsome."
"Is he a soldier?"
"A soldier this captivating? He must be an artist."
"S-So hot~ is he free?"
"Forget it. I'm at work. But this eye candy is so satisfying~"
Varying reaction from the crowd made a short commotion in the surroundings. The old dean could only reprimanded them for a bit. But Shi Moye's appearance is indeed majestic. Even the hired baby sitters couldn't be helped by blushes when sneaking a peek at him. Most young ladies were giggling when they met eyes with Shi Moye.
Old Man dean scolded, "Quiet down." He gently chided the children to be quiet before smiling at the adult man standing beside Yun Suisen.
Yun Suisen introduced him properly to the dean. "Foster father. Brother Moye is a soldier who is currently on vacation. He is my... friend. He will be coming with us to provide protection if necessary."
"Dage, this is the dean of the orphanage."
After they were properly introduced to each other. The old dean and Shi Moye greeted each other with a handshake.
"Welcome. Thank you for coming to pick us up. Master Ximen had been gesturing to us with kindness. He always thinks of our orphanage whenever he and his son come out to play. Such a kind hearted person." said the old dean.
Shi Moye replied, "Master Ximen is indeed kind to children because he himself has a son. Such a virtuous man."
"Dage, we are running out of time. The Master and the Young Master are already on their way. The Ximen Family chauffeur had just messaged me. They've already left the mansion. It would be bad if we arrived later than them." whispered Yun Suisen.
This Major nodded his head in agreement. It would be quite impolite to have the people who would be paying most of their expenses to keep waiting for them.
"Dean shall we depart?" asked Shi Moye.
Old dean answered, "Yes! We should arrive at the location before Master Ximen does. Children get on the bus one at a time. No pushing!"
"Yes, Dean!" The children replied.
Following the instructions of the old dean, the children climb in the mini bus one at the time. Those who were still small were escorted inside by either Shi Moye, Yun Suisen or the babysitters. After everyone had gone in the white minibus and finished the preparations for departure, they left the orphanage and headed to the amusement park.
Thankfully they've arrived in the park before the Ximen Family arrives. While waiting for the Ximen father and son, Yun Suisen bought both the tickets for everyone including his master and young master's ticket. The money was provided by Master Ximen and the tickets both were VIP type tickets. In short they would be able to enjoy everything inside the amusement park.
Once the Ximen father and son had arrived, it didn't take a while for everyone to enter the park and enjoy the rides. Those children who were in high school and university were allowed by the old dean and Yun Suisen to roam around on their own but of course, Shi Moye placed some guards to protect them secretly. The old dean and the nannies who were looking after the youngest children had separated themselves from Shi Moye and Yun Suisen as well. They were left together with the Ximen father and son.
Ximen Xueya carried his son and said, "Suisen. Enjoy your day. I will play around with Chino in the park on our own. The children were given guards who would protect them secretly. Just enjoy the park with that one on your side. See you at lunch as scheduled."
After saying these words Ximen Xueya carried his son away and enjoyed the park as family. Of course it was only the scene of Xueya getting here and there, riding that and this, with Ximen Chino.
The two who were left behind had to look at each other in a daze. They were both adults one nearing his thirties while the other in his mid-thirties. How should they enjoy this kind of facility at their age?
In the end the two chose not to ride anything but roam around the other establishments inside the park like the cafés, restaurants, theaters and more. Shi Moye joyously accompanied Yun Suisen as if they were on a date. Yun Suisen who was enjoying himself even forgot that he was holding Shi Moye's hand the whole time. It was an unconscious but instinctive gesture.
While enjoying the amusement park like a couple, they accidentally bump into a small group. The group is only made up of young men in their twenties. Yun Suisen accidentally crashed on someone's back. A young man with lilac hair color and emerald irises scolded back at him.
"Hey! Look where you are going! That hurts! Hiss~" the young man with emerald eyes complains but clearly the ones who caused the crash between the two aren't one-sided. They've bumped at each other.
Yun Suisen immediately turned around to apologize. "S-Sorry... I..."
"Sui-chan doesn't apologize. Both were at fault. He didn't even apologize himself." said Shi Moye.
The emerald eyed young man retorted, "What do you mean, old man!?"
Shi Moye's face turned cold upon recognizing the young man in front of him. The unreasonable person coincides with his memories of that future timeline. This young man who crashed at Suisen is none other than Yun Ren. The villain of this world.
Yun Ren wanted to scold Yun Suisen and Shi Moye more but when he saw the soldier's cold and indifferent gaze, a chill was felt climbing at his back. He shut up immediately when those icy stares fell on them.
Shi Moye's thoughts, 'This person is... YUN REN!?'
His mind was suddenly filled with memories of that scene. After the death of Yun Suisen in that timeline, Yun Ren acted as if nothing had changed at all. He didn't even speak a word of thanks to his savior. That joyful expression of Yun Ren when he saw Yun Suisen die is still imprinted in his mind.
Recalling these memories as if it just happened yesterday made him feel hatred and murderous towards Yun Ren. This is the person who caused the death of his beloved. Shi Moye instantly pulled Yun Suisen in his embrace instinctively. Yun Ren and his friends looked at Shi Moye and Yun Suisen sudden intimacy weirdly.
"Wow~ are they gays?"
"A'Ren just bumps on his partner. It's no wonder the other person got angry."
"It's my fault alone okay!? Tsk! How annoying let's go."
These three left without caring for Yun Suisen and Shi Moye whom they've chosen to ignore. Their meeting didn't end up nicely but Shi Moye didn't care.
Yun Suisen who could hear Shi Moye's strong heartbeats couldn't help but blush shyly.
Shi Moye asked worriedly, "Are you alright? Sui-chan?"
In his embarrassment Yun Suisen could only lightly push away Shi Moye while trying to hide his blush, "I'm... Okay!" he replied while walking away with fast paced steps, Shi Moye could only follow him to avoid getting separated.

In the other part of the amusement park, Lou Lan is currently wearing an annoyed expression while walking away from a man who is chasing him. The man had a chiseled body structure clearly this is a man whose work makes use of his body as an asset. It wasn't like those gym trained builds, it's more from a strict routine training like those in the military.
The man is obviously a soldier. Unlike Lou Lan's dyed blond hair this man's hair is dark red. His eyes were in the same color but with a bit lighter shade of red meanwhile Lou Lan had magenta colored irises which is a complete composite of his bright colored hair.
Based on the current situation this two is having a lover's quarrel.
Lou Lan irritably yelled, "Don't follow me!! Bastard!!!"
"S-Sweetie~ let me explain! I'm really on vacation." said Lou Lan's lover, Wang Lei.
Suddenly stopping his tracks Lou Lan turned around and glared at his lover. "Liar! Didn't you invite me here for a date? What is this now? Playing undercover! Date your ass!!! Leave me alone and do your work!!"
While walking away Wang Lei could clearly hear his lover's tantrums by seeing how he stomps hard at every step he makes.
Wang Lei tried to coax his lover but he was ignored. He really wasn't lying. Bringing his lover to the amusement park is the planned date he decided even before his vacation. Wang Lei didn't know who that foolish bomber dared to choose this venue as his target while he was on date.
Thanks this bomber his vacation was cut short and he had been called over to do undercover while still on date. He explained this to Lou Lan but after this situation happened a few times in the past his lover had already had a recorded track of this repeated history.
A report was heard in the wireless earphone on his ear, 'Report! The target had issued another threatening letter. The details were: At 12:40 pm the Roller Coaster rails would become the tracks that would lead to hell!'
Once Wang Lei heard that report, he ran after Lou Lan grabbed his wrist to secure his safety. After seeing that they were near the roller coaster he pulled away his lover and ran away.
Lou Lan struggles but unable to free himself, "Fucking let go of me!"
"Be good. Lan'er stay with me!"
Then Lou Lan heard his lover shout warnings around them.
"Move away from the roller coasters!!! Move away!!!" yelled Wamg Lei.
Everyone looked weirdly at them then after a few while an explosion was heard not far and they saw the rails of the coasters exploding.
BOOOMM!!!
AAAAAHHHHH!
Bomb! There's a bomb!!
RUNN!!!!
KYAAA!!!
Chaos happens afterwards. The guests of the park had screamed collectively and ran for their lives.
---
Few moments before the explosion. The people of the orphanage and the rest of the group were waiting for the Ximen father and son at the food stalls area of the park. They were waiting patiently. Shi Moye and Yun Suisen had rejoined this group as lunch was scheduled for 12:30. It is currently 12:25.
They were waiting for Ximen Xueya and his son when suddenly an explosion took place not far from them.
BOOMM!!
AAAAAHHHH!!!
RUN AWAY! IT'S A BOMB!!!
They heard the loud explosion and smoke ascending to the sky followed by the other guests' screams and crowd panic. The moment this happened the hidden guards from Shi Moye's unit had all gathered to where the children are and secured the group at the center protecting them from the chaos happening at this moment.
"W-What? A B-Bomb!!!" said Yun Suisen in shock. He didn't even notice Shi Moye secureling him in his embrace as he protected him from the panicking guests who were trying to run away.
"Don't get separated. Team Alpha! Secure the children and civilians outside the park. Before getting on the bus check for unidentifiable objects! Find one, take it away or destroy it immediately. If found, none leave the venue immediately!!!" commanded Shi Moye.
"Yes, Major!" his team saluted towards Shi Moye before taking away the group they were tasked to protect.
Shi Moye was about to follow them out with Yun Suisen.
"Sui-chan we should take our leave too."
"No! The Master and Young Master are still here. I must..."
Yun Suisen panicked for a while trying to call his master to ask their situation. His hands were trembling the whole time. Obviously his anxiety was overwhelmed by his fear.
Shi Moye spoke, "Master Ximen is not an ordinary person. He would know what to do in this kind of situation. We should wait for them outside the park instead."
"NO! I WON'T LEAVE!!!"
Yun Suisen strongly exclaimed and Shi Moye could clearly see his rationality blurring because of fear. He had no other choice but to forcefully carry Suisen in his shoulders and run away. His back got hit countless times on the way.
At Ximen Xueya and Ximen Chino's perspective before the explosive activated, this father and son just finished riding the roller coasters. As for how a young child like Ximen Chino got to ride on it, clearly System Yue had done something to make the workers perceived the father and son's age differently.
"Uncle Yue is amazing! Those staff didn't notice Xiao Jing's age at all!!!"
[Hehe~ Of course. Everything the Young Master wanted can be accomplished!]
"Did you enjoy the rides? Let's have our lunch for now~" said Xueya while smiling at his son.
[Host! Run away. Some fool put a bomb on the trails of the coasters. It is now activated. You have 20 minutes to run away!]
The father and son whose eyes were sharp enough to see the weird object placed at the rails when they were riding the roller coaster.
Chino murmured, "So it was really a bomb~"
"I thought I've seen it wrongly." said Xueya.
[Please don't be calm, that's the bomb we are talking about!]
"So?" The father and son retorted as one, "But we wouldn't even be scratched, even if the bomb exploded at us."
Only then did System Yue remember that this father and son were not ordinary mortals. In this world where elemental qi can be used, they couldn't be harmed by human weapons easily. While they three were having a conversation in their minds someone suddenly carried away Xueya within those strong arms. The owner of those arms could carry Xueya and Chino together without problems.
A deep and magnetic voice was heard, it was coming from the man who suddenly carried away the father and son.
"There's a bomb here. Let me bring you somewhere safe." The man said.
Without even getting their permission the person carried them away to safety.
Means brother in Japanese.
