Ji Yan's fingers were still grasping the corner of his clothes. She was at a loss from the initial loss and recovery. The light in her eyes flickered. Finally, she let go of her hand and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, I offended you just now."

It only took a few seconds from intimacy to estrangement.

He lowered his eyes to look at her. The girl lowered her eyes. She was obviously disappointed, but she still maintained her politeness and said, "If it's convenient, can I take up a little of your time? I have some questions to ask you."

There was a slight silence on the other side, and then he nodded after a long time.

God brought her into the living room of the villa, closed the door, and asked her to sit on the sofa.

Ji Yan didn't say anything too polite. After sitting down, she went straight to the point: "In the last world, I completed the mission as a living soul. After I left, was I still alive in that world?"

She is not alone in this little world. Ji Songyang prefers his adopted daughter. If he loses his adopted daughter because of her, she will not be able to rest easy.

The god nodded to her and said, "If you leave that world, the original owner will return."

Ji Yan breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling relieved, but she still had other questions to ask. Since it was about Qi Yan, she was inevitably nervous, with her fingers slightly curled up. "Qi Yan...what is the relationship between him and you? Why did I forget about him before, and why did he appear in this plane world..."

She had so many questions that she didn't even know where to start.

Even if she asked some questions, she wouldn't get an answer.

The god raised his head and stared at her with his dark eyes for a long time. He said, "Qi Yan is me."

The girl met his gaze with stunned eyes, and after a long time she shook her head.

She has always been smart and understood everything quickly, but she would never equate God with Qi Yan. The young man who belonged to her world was Qi Yan, and God did not belong to any world, let alone her.

At least she understood that the Qi Yan in her memory would never come back.

What she wanted to ask was meaningless, and regrets are common. Life is hard to be perfect. She stood up and took the initiative to end the conversation. "I understand. Thank you."

Shen was slightly stunned.

Ji Yan left the reception room and left the villa. She did not ask him for anything. The girl, who had already prepared for the worst, just calmly accepted the reality. Her heart was inevitably stirred, but she knew her own limitations and would not continue to pester him.

When Ye Shuning came out of the kitchen, she saw the little girl walking in from the door in a daze.

"What's wrong? Didn't you see your brother?" Ye Shuning asked with concern. The next second Ji Yan threw herself into her arms and hugged her gently. She didn't say anything, but Ye Shuning could feel that she was very sad. She was obviously impatient and earnest before leaving, but how come she ended up in such a pitiful state after going out?

Ye Shuning asked her what was wrong, but the little girl didn't answer. After hugging her for a while, she just said something like "Nothing, I'm not unhappy."

His eyes and nose are obviously red, but he still forces a smile. How can he look like nothing is wrong?

Ye Shuning wanted to get to the bottom of the matter and mentioned Qi Yan, but the girl kept silent, found an excuse to go back to her room, and never came out again.

Ye Shuning sighed and was about to go back to the kitchen to continue cooking, but she saw a young man standing at the door holding a gift box. The young man in his twenties had grown a lot compared to his teens, and was more stable, with an imposing aura that could not be acquired overnight.

Ye Shuning was stunned for a moment, and then welcomed him in: "You kid, auntie hasn't even given you a housewarming gift yet, but you've already spent the money."

Qi Yan handed the gift box to the aunt of the Ji family. After a brief greeting with Ye Shuning, he went to the kitchen to help. Ye Shuning was embarrassed to let Qi Yan, a guest, come to cook, but when the young man calmly and restrainedly said that Yanyan used to like the dishes he cooked, Ye Shuning couldn't help but think of the time when the little girl lived in the old house. Her grandparents didn't like their granddaughter very much and always wanted a grandson, but Ye Shuning didn't agree. Ji Chi Nian also respected Ye Shuning's idea and didn't give Ji Yan a younger brother or sister.

So at that time, Ji Yan was closer to her brother Qi Yan. The food that the elderly liked to eat was different from that of children. Qi Yan learned to cook at a very young age and often cooked for his sister who was two years younger than him. He knew her preferences very well and understood Yanyan's taste better than she, as a mother.

Ye Shuning thought of the sad look on the little girl's face when she came back. Perhaps eating the food cooked by her brother would make her mood better, so she agreed and let Qi Yan go into the kitchen.

Ye Shuning also invited Qi Yan to have dinner with her. She went upstairs personally to call her daughter down to eat.

Ji Yan opened the door, her eyes were no longer red. She stayed alone for a while and calmed down her emotions.

When she and Ye Shuning went downstairs, she saw the young man sitting at the dining table. Her eyes widened a little, thinking she had seen it wrong. She stood there for a while and did not continue to walk down. Ye Shuning explained: "Mom kept my brother at home for dinner today."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yan hummed and did not show any emotion. She just came down to eat as usual. She walked in front and politely called "Mr. Qi" before sitting down. Her voice was very soft, but God heard it, but Ye Shuning did not. She walked over and was curious about why the two children were so polite. They had only not seen each other for three or four years, so why did they become so unfamiliar?

Ji Yan concentrated on eating, but the familiar smell of the food inevitably made her freeze.

He is indeed Qi Yan, but he is not him, and it is impossible for him to be her Qi Yan again.

Ji Yan didn't know what the meaning of his coming here was. Since he chose to make everyone forget Qi Yan's existence, why did he suddenly change his mind and let everyone remember him and appear in her life unexpectedly?

How long does he plan to stay here? Is he just going to watch her grow old, get sick and die, and spend her life like this?

If that's the case, then she would rather not have it.

At the dinner table, Ye Shuning also tried to adjust the atmosphere, but the little girl was not interested and didn't talk much. Qi Yan, on the other hand, answered patiently and his answers were very appropriate. His temperament and upbringing were very pleasing. Ye Shuning used to think of him as just a child, but now she has more respect and appreciation for the young man in front of her.

Ji Yan returned to her room after dinner. She did not stay long and did not take the initiative to talk to God again.

Qi Yan looked up at the little girl's cold back, and after a moment of silence, he said to Ye Shuning, "I just moved next door today, and the room hasn't been cleaned yet. If it's convenient, I'd like to stay at your house for a few days."

Ye Shuning smiled and said, "Of course it's convenient. We have plenty of guest rooms at home. It doesn't matter if you stay a little longer."

Qi Yan thanked him and went back to pack his luggage.

At night, Ji Yan wanted to go downstairs to warm up a cup of milk, and happened to see Shen moving in with a suitcase. She stood in the corridor and looked down, becoming more and more confused about his thoughts, but she was sober and did not want to let herself sink into it, so she hardened her heart and decided not to drink the milk. She went back to the bedroom before he looked up, trying to reduce her interactions with him.
