Reborn as a short-lived loli who can only live for three years

"Everyone, have a good rest tonight! Tomorrow we will go explore the secret realm together!"

The floor was clean and tidy, with several neatly laid beds.

Shi Zhimeng had her long hair loose, but she was holding two pillows, one on each side, and obviously didn't want to fall asleep.

"Want to have a pillow fight?"

Although her intentions were extremely obvious, Wan Yexi still considerately brought up the topic.

"Yes! For a rare training camp, pillow fight is an indispensable entertainment activity!" Tokie Yume threw the pillow away swiftly and clapped her hands towards the door.

The maid came in pushing a cart full of pillows.

It seemed that she had been preparing for a long time.

“So many pillows…!” Ying just screamed when she was hit in the face by a pillow.

"The battle has begun, no one can escape!"

Shi Zhimeng blew up a gust of wind, and countless pillows floated in the air and suddenly shot forward!

"Ah!" Ying was frightened again and dodged left and right, avoiding the hail of bullets from the pillows. She picked up the pillow that fell on the ground and threw it back with force.

"Using magic is against the rules." Manno Yui threw a pillow at Tokieda Meng, knocking her to the ground.

"from now on!"

Tokieda Meng got up quickly as if nothing had happened. The pillow, which had lost its power, fell down with a crackling sound and was tossed back and forth.

Chu Yu didn't want to join in their game, but pillows kept coming at her one after another, almost forming a small mountain under her feet.

Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and joined the pillow fight.

……

Ivy had gone into hiding since the beginning of the battle.

She used her not-so-skilled illusion magic to hide her figure, and after the pillows were emptied, she climbed into the basket of the cart that was once filled with pillows.

Her third-rate illusion was more than enough to deceive the maid.

The maid pushed the cart all the way to the lobby on the first floor.

Laughter and chatter could be heard coming from upstairs in the corridor, but they didn't need to worry about disturbing others, because the entire villa building was an area exclusively for Tokizhi Meng. Apart from Tokizhi Meng and a few friends, there were only a few maids left.

The owner and others lived in other areas of the mansion.

The maid put the cart back into the warehouse, closed the door and left. The room suddenly became pitch dark, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Ivy huddled quietly in the car. Whether she opened her eyes or closed them, it was all darkness. The noisy laughter seemed very far away from her. She tried to feel the tranquility.

After a while, the door of the warehouse was pushed open a crack, and a beam of light shone in.

The footsteps were getting closer.

Ivy maintained the illusion magic and did not move. She looked up at the ceiling of the warehouse, and then made eye contact with Ye Jiyan who was walking over.

"Compared to before, the illusion magic has improved a bit, but not much." Ye Jiyan reached into the basket and tapped Ivy's shoulder accurately, breaking her illusion.

"...I've tried my best." Ivy tried to defend herself.

Ye Jiyan walked to the back and pushed the cart out again.

The light coming through from outside suddenly became very dazzling. Ivy squinted her eyes slightly. As they came outdoors, the bright lights were replaced by the moonlight at night.

Ye Jiyan pushed the cart along the garden path, not knowing where to go. Ivy did not ask, still curled up in the basket, looking at the night sky above.

The small wheels made a rumbling sound, which was particularly obvious in the quiet night.

"How about breaking your legs and sitting in a wheelchair instead?" Ye Jiyan suddenly made a ridiculous suggestion.

"What's the point of doing this?"

"Pushing a wheelchair would seem more reasonable than it is now."

Pushing a cart at night does seem strange, and if you move more stealthily, you'd look like a thief.

"No." Ivy refused.

……

Ye Jiyan continued to push the cart, and seemed to have turned a few corners along the way.

Finally, he stopped at a location.

"arrive."

Ivy looked at the night sky in all directions. It seemed that there was no change from before. Helplessly, she slowly raised her body and stood up inside.

They were on the shore of a vast lake. The lake was calm and waveless, like a mirror, reflecting the stars and the full moon in the night sky.

I didn’t expect the Shi family even had a lake. How big is their sphere of influence… Ivy thought silently.

“You don’t seem to be taking in the view.”

Ivy came back to his senses and looked at the scenery in front of him. He should have thought it was beautiful, but his heart was still blank.

"Maybe I'm not interested." Ivy answered truthfully, and then asked, "Why did you bring me here to see the scenery?"

"Who made me the one with the most free time?" Ye Jiyan's tone sounded a little helpless.

As the only boy among the invited guests, Ye Jiyan naturally would not sleep with them, nor would he join in the pillow fight game, so he was indeed free at this time.

"So I was assigned the task of looking after you when you ran away," he said.

“…When they ran out?” Ivy chuckled.

Her actions had long been predicted by others.

"Don't worry, you didn't spoil their fun. They are having a great time."

"This is best."

The companions can have a good time, and Ivy can concentrate on being depressed without feeling guilty about affecting the atmosphere.

That's fine.

She will be at ease.

"Do you want to go play in the water?" Ye Jiyan made another ridiculous suggestion.

“? No.” Ivy subconsciously grabbed the basket.

"Why? The weather is so hot and the water is cool." Ye Jiyan pushed the cart closer to the lakeshore with a smile.

“Are you crazy?” Ivy looked at him with some suspicion. She didn’t believe it at first, but as she watched the cart getting closer and closer to the water, a trace of panic appeared in her eyes. “Wait, wait a minute!”

The corner of the cart stopped when it touched the water, and the wheels gently dipped into the lake.

"I'll count to three, two, one, and then I'll push it down." Ye Jiyan gave a thoughtful preview.

"?"

Suspicion flashed in Ivy's eyes, but before she could judge the truth, the countdown had already begun.

"Three, two, one!"

Ivy rushed forward at the last second and hung on Ye Jiyan, who caught her steadily with his hands.

With a 'plop' sound, the cart fell into the lake, splashing a small amount of water.

"Hahaha……"

Ivy hugged his neck and looked back at the rippling lake, her eyes full of shock.

“You really pushed!” Ivy glared at him angrily, “Bad guy!”

If you really fall into the water, you will have to take a shower again, which is really troublesome.

“Real bad guys won’t tell you in advance.” Ye Jiyan felt very happy as he watched Ivy being successfully teased by him.

Unfortunately, Ivy was not wearing shoes when she hid in the basket, and now that the cart was gone, she couldn't step on the ground.

Ye Jiyan simply lifted her up, lowered his head slightly, and let her sit on his shoulders.

His vision suddenly became very high. Ivy grabbed Ye Jiyan's hair in revenge, but the annoyance in his heart disappeared unknowingly.

Ye Jiyan held her steady and slowly returned along the same route.

"Almost a year has passed." Ye Jiyan said suddenly.

"Ah."

"Why do you look the same as before? Have you really grown taller?"

Just as Ivy was about to answer, he heard Ye Jiyan say with a smile, "You've gained a lot of weight."

"You're talking nonsense?!" Ivy was immediately angry. He actually said that he was short and fat?

"I've grown taller! And I haven't gotten fatter."

"How do you explain the weight?"

"You think I'm heavy because you're too weak."

Ye Jiyan laughed out loud.

"Who taught you this?"

"My sister."

Perhaps he didn't expect Wan Yexi to say this, or perhaps he couldn't beat Wan Yexi. In short, Ye Jiyan did not refute.

"Okay." He seemed to accept the defeat.
