Theme lyrics ——

 

My tenderness is always with you

 

You are so righteous and strong,

Always be gentle and firm by my side.

The bitterly cold wind is howling violently,

My heart always feels your warmth.

The raging torrential rain is hitting us hard,

You hold my hand tightly don't let go.

The thunder roared and rolled over the hill,

You hold my shoulders and give me power.

Lightning shines on the horizon,

Reflecting the figure of our two as one.

You are so strong and righteous,

Always company by my side.

I will always be so gentle，

Accompany your justice and strength.

 

 

1.

One day in the middle of March 2020, when the American young man Xiaolong and his fiancée Cherry walked into the lobby of Fennel Airport in Asia, he didn't know that he would soon become a "Magical Smoker"—coughing and sneezing unexpectedly can spit out black smoke.

Xiaolong's full English name is Bryn· Mead· Stallone, and he gave himself the name "Xiaolong" in Chinese. Why did he choose the Chinese name "Xiaolong"? Because he greatly admires the righteous and brave spirit of Hong Kong movie star Bruce Lee, and Bruce Lee also has a lightning-fast fist and foot kung fu to defend this spirit. So, his name was "Xiaolong" which follows this sense, and the pronunciation is similar to "Bruce Lee's" in Chinese. Whoa, what a name!

Cherry is an Asia girl. Her Chinese name is Cha Li. Foreigner people in the United States more people will take an English name because follow the customs of the country. Westerners say: In Rome, you have to obey Roman customs. She is no exception, so her English name is taken according to the pronunciation of her surname: Cherry.

Oh, not bad, she likes this English name very much.

They saw a group of young people in the Fennel airport lobby put on a promotional for “World Safety Day”, most notably two "demons" fighting - In fact, two young people put the demon's toy on their bodies and danced to mimic the ferocious look of the demons. The two demons wear a red robe with a yellow ax and machete printed on the robe, and the devil's hands have sharp claws.

This is very interesting and attracts many passengers to watch.

A young girl holds up a sign that reads: When the world is not safe, who rules the earth?

A "demon" came out, his eyes are ferocious, and he stretches out his sharp claws to show his intimidating momentum and dominance. The devil swung his claws and rushed at a tall European male passenger so suddenly that he was so scared that he took a few steps back and almost fell.

The passengers laughed loudly.

At this time, Sima Jia, a 35-year-old Arcadia man, led four young Arcadia people into the airport lobby and came here. Sima Jia is a spy leader of the ACP government, on a criminal great conspiracy mission. He first went to Europe and then will infiltrate the United States to control the terrorist organization Antiti. (ACP is A political party in the Asian country of "Arcadia")

Sima Jia looks full of energy, and the four young men looked tired and dazed. 

Xiaolong and Cherry could not have imagined that they would fight Sima Jia and the American terrorist organization Antiti under his control in a desperate fight shortly to maintain American national security.

  Another Fennel girl came out holding a sign, which read: When the world is not safe, who is the happiest? The girl asked: "Who is the proudest and happy?"

  Passengers shook their heads, and some said they didn't know.

 Continue another "demon" came out. The difference between this demon and that is that it wears a crown that looks like a "coronavirus", and it opens its mouth, sticks out its tongue, and laughs with black, yellow, blue, and red mucus flowing out from its mouth.

The passengers felt very sick.

That "demon" walked to approach Sima Jia and asked, "Do you hate me?"

Sima Jia remained silent, his face showing evil and cattiness.

The Asian girl said to the other passengers: "He will not hate! Yes! He won't. I can see that he comes from a totalitarian Arcadia! He is used to the evil rule of the devil! Yes, he may be a member of a terrorist group!"

The passenger smiled.

Sima Jia shook his head to the four Arcadia men, and they left together.

The third girl came out holding a billboard. The text above read: When the world is not safe, what will we become?

Then, two boys and two girls came out holding the billboard. The first one was a teenager. The sign he flipped over was a picture: a group of people tied to their necks by chains, A man wearing the virus crown, his left hand holding the chain, waving the whip with his right hand.

The boy asked the passengers: "Are these enslaved people you? How about you?"

Some passengers answered the questions, and some shrugged.

"Maybe……"

"I do not know……"

The second girl who flipped the sign, A picture on the advertising sign showed a group of people lying on the ground, an evil giant with his big foot stomping on the group of people.

The girl asked the passengers: "Will we become people lying on the ground?"

"Maybe……"

"Yes!"

The third teenager flipped the sign. It was a picture of a skeleton.

The teenager asked a weak male traveler: "Sir, will we become like this soon?"

The frail male traveler waves his hand, "No, that's not me..."

The passengers laughed.

The sign flipped over by that fennel girl showed a picture of thick black smoke rolling.

"When the world is not safe, will we become a cloud of black smoke and disappear into the world where we belong?"

She approached Xiaolong and asked him. "What do you think, sir?"

Xiaolong stared at the picture, and suddenly, a huge black smoke burst out from behind him, pounced on the two "demons", grabbed the evil giant in the picture, rolled them up, and slammed them into the ground.

In an instant, a hole appeared on the ground under the impact of black smoke, and the thick smoke engulfed the demons into the depths of the hole. The entire airport hall was flooded with black smoke, and the demon's screams echoed.

The passengers were stunned.

After a while, they calmed down, and while the black smoke was still billowing, they slowly approached the hole and effort stretched their heads to look down.

The hole is bottomless.

The black smoke gradually dissipated.

Xiaolong blinked. The scene in front of him was the same as before, and there was no dark hole in the ground.

"Sir!" the fennel girl asked Xiaolong.

Xiaolong felt as if he was hallucinating.

The girl pointed to the black smoke picture and asked: "Will we become fumes and disappear into this world? What do you think?"

Xiaolong was in his right mind at this time, and he pointed to the evil person on that sign: "If I smoke, I will spit out a lot of fumes to this evil guy!"

The passengers laughed.

Cherry speaks Cantonese: "Xiaolong never smokes."

 

2.

Xiaolong and Cherry walked toward the departure lounge and were in a good mood. At this time, Cherry’s mobile phone rang, and she stopped to answer: "Hi!"

She heard the voice of her cousin Ying Zi, "Cherry, I'm Ying Zi."

Cherry keeps going away, "Ying Zi, how are you?"

"I am fine. I am at the American consulate in Japan, waiting for my visa, cousin, I will see you in the United States."

Cherry is very happy, "Ying Zi, I miss you so much!"

Ying Zi asked: "Cherry, you said you are going to travel to Europe?"

"Yes, Xiaolong and I went to Lake Annecy in France to paragliding flight and will go to the United Kingdom and other European countries to play. We are a Fennel Airport now."

A young Arcadia man walked here from the right side at this moment, and came to Cherry's walkway, they accidentally bumped into each other.

The young Arcadia man's name was Qihua Zheng. He was in a daze, and Sima Jia next to him came over.

Xiaolong turned his head back, and he was almost stunned: he saw Sima Jia bending down, pulling out an eight-inch sharp knife that flickered white from his right leg, and rushing up with a ferocious face wanting to assassinate Cherry. Xiaolong was about to rush to rescue Cherry, but a cloud of black smoke burst out behind him, flying like a giant python, speediness swimming towards Sima Jia spinning and rolling him up bouncing around the walls. Then the black smoky python rolled Sima Jia rushed to break through a window rushing to the sky.

Cherry trembled with fright.

Xiaolong stunned. He blinked, and the remnants of black smoke dissipated. He saw Sima Jia bent down and picked up the phone on the ground and politely handed it to Cherry.

"Thank you!" Cherry said, her expression as always, it seemed that nothing happened.

Sima Jia said you're welcome.

Cherry said to Qihua Zheng: "I'm sorry."

Qihua Zheng shook his head to show that he didn't mind. Cherry saw a long scar on the left side of his neck.

Xiaolong felt very strange: Why did I have such an illusion… Cherry didn't even think that she would soon be hunted down by the man who helped her pick up her phone.

Xiaolong and Cherry got on the plane, and they saw Sima Jia, and several young Arcadia also entering the cabin, when he and Cherry found a seat and sat down, Qihua Zheng came over and sat in the seat next to Xiaolong.

Xiaolong turned his head and smiled politely at him, but Qihua Zheng had no expression on his face, but Xiaolong saw a scar on Qihua Zheng's neck.

In the back of an airplane seat, there's a small TV screen, Cherry turned it on. The news channel reported the outbreak of pneumonia in Arcadia.

Cherry was surprised, "What kind of virus is this so terrible?"

Xiaolong shrugged.

A male TV host said: "Although Arcadia has taken action to seal many cities, Arcadia medical experts say that Arcadia's pneumonia will not spread from person to person."

The hostess next to him said: "The World Health Organization has not given any special warnings."

Male host: "For security reasons, the President has closed flights between the United States and Arcadia."

Hostess: "The Democratic Party severely criticized and ridiculed the president's policy."

The host asked Jenny: "Is the President of the United States crazy?

The hostess smiled and said, "Maybe."

Xiaolong looked out the window. The plane was taxiing slowly, ready to take off.

All the seats on the plane were full of passengers, mainly Europeans, and Americans, and together with Cherry was a total of six Asia.

As the plane climbed into the sky, Xiaolong turned his head and looked out the window. Large clouds were floating nearby, shining white in the sun with the soft glow of a rainbow. He wanted to say this wonderful view to Cherry, but she closed her eyes to enjoy the music, so he looked at the white clouds again, and suddenly they slowly turned black.

This phenomenon makes him feel very amazed, he pushed Cherry gently and she opened her eyes. He pointed to the window, and she turned her head to look, those beautiful white cloud was rolling into a heavy ball getting a somber black. Suddenly the black cloud fiercely hit the window with a loud noise, and the dark cloud broke through the window and into the plane.

The black smoke engulfed all the passengers and objects, wrapping everything and then rotating and tumbling violently in the cabin, making a loud crashing sound.

Xiaolong slowly opened his eyes, the dark clouds disappeared, the cabin was calm and the passengers carried as usual. He turned his head to look at Cherry, and she closed

her eyes to listen to the music, and she seemed to enjoy it. He felt very strange, looking out the window, the white clouds were still beautiful and bright.

He rolled his eyes and wondered: Am I dreaming?

 3.

Napoleon once stood on the Alps and said what he thought was so most proud and heroic: "Now, I am the tallest in the world!" He despised the world, and finally, the world despised him! There has a small town Annecy under the Alps, it is known as one of the most beautiful towns in France and even Europe. The sky is so blue, the air is so fresh, the ancient buildings are so emitting culture and history charm, the Annecy Lake is so wide, calm, and gentle, and the cyan-blue ripples in the breeze shimmer in the sun. The unique mountainous terrain of the Alps provides excellent conditions for paraglider flight, attracting countless gliding enthusiasts in the world to seek the thrill of flying in the sky.

Both Xiaolong and Cherry like to glide, Xiaolong’s gliding technique is quite powerful, and it is the best at the high level. After arriving in the Annecy small town, they so happily chose to tandem glide flight. Oh, it was a beautiful time. Together, they were overlooking the lake and mountains under the sky, letting go of their throats and singing and shouting. At this moment, they have a sense of detachment from the mundane world.

After 25 days of sightseeing in Europe, Xiaolong and Cherry returned to the United States by plane from Paris. Xiaolong began to feel sick. When a young and beautiful stewardess push a dining car to come to him and handed him a drink, he suddenly vomited, the stewardess’s clothes being sprayed so dirty by him, she exclaimed: "My God..."

When the plane landed in the United States, they were walking outwards along the aisle of the airport, his breathing suddenly approached almost suffocation, and then he fell to the ground with a limp and was taken to the hospital by an ambulance.

 

Three months later, Xiaolong woke up. That day, when Dr. Merckel and several of his colleagues in the hospital saw strong fluctuations in vital signs on the heart monitoring equipment, they were very happy, applauded each other, and sang, because Xiaolong was sick very badly. Usually, this is very serious. Hard to be rescued. But Xiaolong miraculously defeated the serious illness, so the doctors and nurses felt very comforted and proud.

Xiaolong was lying on the bed, eyes twinkling slightly. Beside him, two doctors and three nurses looked at him expectantly. Xiaolong opened his eyes slowly, and he saw a very blurry image. But gradually, the blurred image became clear.

Dr. Merckel wearing glasses stretched out his hand and patted Xiaolong on the face, "Sir, sir."

Xiaolong looked at him.

"Mr."

"Who are you?"

"I’m Dr. Merckel."

Xiaolong looked around, "Why am I here?"

"Sir, you have the CGP-49 virus and have been in a coma for more than three months."

Xiaolong was puzzled: "what is the CCGP-49 virus?"

“CGP-49, is the official name given by the World Health Organization to the Acadian plague from Asian countries not long ago. CGP-49 is currently in a worldwide pandemic.”

The person next to him nodded, indicating that this is the case.

Xiaolong looked confused.

Merkel said happily: "We thought you were going to heaven, but..."

Xiaolong stared at him.

"The gift from the merciful God to you. You are resurrected! For that, you have to thank God."

Xiaolong thought for a while: "Thank God."

The doctor and nurse danced happily, sang, and clapped their hands: "Give me a five..."

Xiaolong felt an itchy nose, closed his eyes, and sneeze, A cloud of black smoke came out of his nostrils, and the black smoke hovered around the doctors and nurses, making their clothes black immediately.

When Xiaolong's old brother Jordan and his wife Linda walked in, the doctor and nurse were still dancing.

Jordan snorted: "Excuse me!"

The doctor and the nurse stopped.

"I'm Xiaolong's old brother Jordan."

Merkel shook hands with Jordan and said that Xiaolong was awake. Jordan feels very surprised, and he walked quickly to Xiaolong's bed. Linda followed him, but Xiaolong looked at their surprised faces he is feeling so strange. Jordan patted Xiaolong's face, "Xiaolong, you are awake, my goodness, great!"

Linda almost broke into tears with excitement: "Thank God, Xiaolong!"

Xiaolong looked at Jordan: "Who are you?"

"I am your old brother, Jordan."

The look on Xiaolong's face indicated that he didn't know Jordan.

Linda held Xiaolong's hand: "Xiaolong, I am Linda."

Xiaolong looked at her very confused.

Jordan patted Xiaolong's face again: "Xiaolong, she is Linda, my wife, your sister-in-law."

Xiaolong turned away, ignoring them.

Jordan found this strange, he asked Merkel: "Why..."

Merkel explained: "Illness caused Xiaolong to temporarily lose his memory. But he will recover soon, don't worry."

Jordan still worried: "Really?"

Merkel walked to the window and looked up at the sky: "Xiaolong was in a coma for more than three months. We all thought he would die. Oh, God was watching him from heaven, watching him!" He turned and walked over to Xiaoloog: "God said he would not die. So, Xiaolong miraculously rose from the dead."

He holds Xiaolong's hand: "You are such a magical Mr. Xiaolong!"

The doctor and nurse applauded each other, danced and sang, and Jordan and Linda joined in.

Xiaolong felt an itchy nose when he looked at them, so he closed his eyes and sneezed. A faint puff of black smoke gushed from his nostrils, but it quickly disappeared.

 

When the next Sunday arrives, Xiaolong has fully recovered. Early in the morning, he was taking a bath. Merkel and two doctors walked into the room together. A nurse followed behind to push a small car, a big and beautiful cake on the car.

Jordan walked in with a bunch of flowers, "Oh, a beautiful big cake..." he said pleasantly surprised

Merkel said that today is Xiaolong's birthday.

"I know. Linda made him a spice cake."

Merkel blinked, "Which cake is bigger?"

Jordan opened his hands and pointed to the cake on the car, "Of course, it is this. Oh! I can't express my gratitude!"

Merkel walked to the window, raised her hands, and looked up at the sky, "Magical Xiaolong, he deserves a big cake!"

They danced and clapped their hands and sang: "Amazing Xiaolong, magical Xiaolong, we all love you..."

When Xiaolong was wiping his face in the bathroom, he suddenly felt itchy in his chest, so he closed his eyes and opened his mouth to cough.

Thick black smoke burst out violently from his mouth and flooded the entire bathroom.

The smoke quickly squeezed out from the gap in the bathroom door and immediately filled the entire ward.

After the smoke dissipated, Jordan, the doctors, the nurses, and the cakes were all covered with black color.

Xiaolong stepped out, and when they stood staring at each other, he saw their strange expressions.

Xiaolong was puzzled.

Linda walked in with a little white dog in her arms and widened her eyes and was surprised at what she saw in the room.

Xiaolong went to tease the little white dog, "Hi, how are you? What is your name?"

"Lucky."

"Lucky, you will be lucky..."

The little white dog stared at him warily.

Linda petted the little white dog, "It's so cute, and we all love it so much."

Xiaolong felt an itchy throat, closed his eyes, and opened his mouth. The little white dog saw his mouth full of billowing black smoke. It screamed and bit Linda making her yell, and then it jumped out of her arms and ran out of the door in terror.

Linda was surprised, "Oh, my goodness, luck baby never bit me..."

But Xiaolong didn't cough.

Because their face was covered with black smoke, Jordan walked into the bathroom and Linda helped him wash his face.

Jordan was inexplicable: "I don't know where the thick black smoke came from. The powerful black smoke flooded us in an instant... I don't know..."
