If you look at it from a bystander's perspective.

Tom may be the kind of suspicious person who is sneaking and rushing to others.

It was the third time that he had taken the cup full of coffee from the waiter.

Perhaps in the eyes of the waiter, Tom is more like a poor man who only knows how to refill an unlimited cup of coffee.

Tom did not notice the waiter's strange eyes, took the coffee, took a sip, and looked in the direction of the hall from time to time.

This is a hotel with Nordic characteristics, located near one of the countless ski resorts in the Albes Mountains. The three-story building has a medieval flavor, the brick and wood structure exudes a heavy historical sense. The fireplace in the hall burns the fire, making the whole room very warm, without fearing the cold outside.

The walls are hung with the hunting harvest of reindeer heads, bear skins, etc., and the photos in the closet have turned yellow. Obviously, this hotel has been around for a while.

Of course, although it looks like a small hotel, the price here is not low.

From the windows of the room, you can see the snow scenery of Mount Albes. It only takes ten minutes to get to the hotel from the ski resort, and the food is also very distinctive. It is said that the boss was originally a chef in a high-end German restaurant. Because he was tired of urban life, he turned to this mountain to open a hotel.

Tom also visited many hotels and finally chose this place.

It's eight o'clock in the morning now, and Tom felt that Seo Rui wouldn't go out so early, so he squatted here.

Even if they were going out, they would probably have breakfast first, Tom felt.

About 8:30 minutes later, Tom saw a familiar figure.

He couldn't remember Xu Rui's face, but he could still recognize the little loli.

No, it's a little girl.

The baby's fat little face still seemed to be unwaking. The little girl was pulled by her parents and was about to walk to the restaurant.

Tom did not rush forward, but waited patiently for the three of them to sit down, ordered breakfast before slowly walking over.

"Uh, hello, are you Xu Rui?"

Tom also learned to upload videos on Hakka Video. At this moment, he spoke in a strong accent.

It took the other party a little time to understand Tom's meaning, and the expression on his face also changed from confusion to sudden enlightenment.

"Hello, I am Xu Rui, who are you?"

Since this is in Northern Europe, Xu Rui didn't know which country the other party was from, so he replied in simple English.

"Very good."

Tom said something and then changed back to English. He was not sure about Xu Rui's English level, so he slowed down his speech.

"I am Tom Granger, a video maker at Hakka Video.com. This is the video I made."

He took out his mobile phone, opened Hakka Video Network's pp, and showed Xu Rui his personal space.

Xu Rui looked at it carefully and soon remembered it.

"Oh, the one who was the guide in England?"

Previously, in order to extract the music girl theatre version, Xu Rui took the production team of fantasy electric animation to the capital of the Kingdom of England. At that time, it was the way Tom Granger led as a local guide.

Xu Rui communicated with him a few words, but after all, it was a few years ago. He didn't recognize him at the beginning. It was not until he saw Tom's video that he recalled what happened at that time from those dark food videos.

Seeing that Xu Rui mentioned this, Tom smiled and seemed to be a little heavy.

Xu Rui directly invited Tom to sit down and have dinner together, but Tom of course did not refuse. He was waiting for such an opportunity.

During the breakfast, Xu Rui's daughter ate it by herself very well and sensible, without any dissatisfaction.

Unlike many children, they cry and make a fuss when they meet strangers, or deliberately act coquettishly.

Yi Qianqian was taking care of her daughter while listening to the communication between the two.

Xu Rui's English proficiency is average, so the two of them sometimes use English and sometimes communicate, forming a picture of Chinese and English talking to English in a hotel run by Germans on Mount Albes.

At the beginning, Tom talked about Hatsune Video Network, including his experience of using some websites, his views on barrage culture, and his preference for animation.

He soon discovered that Xu Rui seemed to know him very well and could always follow his words. Even many of Tom's own feelings were not clear, so Xu Rui could help Tom express them.

"This is very simple. Animation is such a thing. Sometimes it doesn't need to go through language and cultural background. You can understand the creator's intentions by simply looking at the picture. For example, cats and mice. This kind of animation has no dialogue. Whether it is a child or an elderly person, regardless of country or cultural level, it can be understood. This is the truly amazing animation."

Faced with Tom's doubts, Seo Rui explained.

"Is this the same work as the past of the earth?"

Tom asked subconsciously, then he felt that he was a little stupid.

Whether from the background or the historical events at the beginning, the past of the earth has strong Chinese characteristics. This is obviously not a style of work that is suitable for both young and old, such as cats and mice.

"This work, well, looks more like telling the story of China now, but in the later stage, it will rise to the story of all mankind."

Xu Rui thought for a while and replied.

"The reason why it is named the past of the earth is because this animation will finally tell the fate of the entire earth and even the entire universe."

"The fate of the entire universe?"

Tom was very surprised.

Originally, he thought that this animation was about how the protagonist fought against an evil organization trying to destroy Earth's technology. Such stories were most common in Europe and the United States, but he didn't expect that Xu Rui actually tried to expand the scale of the story to the entire universe?

If it were another person, Tom would definitely think that the other party was delusional. Many stories could not be told well in a city, so let alone the universe. But this is Xu Rui, who once produced a rural teacher.

Tom still clearly remembers the excitement he felt when he first saw a rural teacher. The grand narrative and long history made him cry.

"Mr. Xu Rui, I'm a little curious, uh, of course, you don't have to answer this question. I just want to know what the final outcome of the Three-Body Game in the past of Earth will be like? Who is the enemy the protagonist is facing?"

Seeing that it was getting late, Tom was embarrassed to delay the other party's vacation time, so he asked what he was most curious about.

He also knew that generally speaking, Xu Rui could not tell him the answer directly about this topic of spoilers.

But Tom still spoke with a lucky mentality.

Hearing Tom's question, Xu Rui thought for a moment, then pointed to the top with his finger.

Tom looked up.

Through the ceiling, he saw the sky.

I saw stars outside the sky.
