Chapter 243 En Ning gave her daughter a final hug.

[Little master, we've detected that your happiness index is almost at its maximum. We'll be parting soon, so... little master, is there anything you wish for that I can grant?]

"Is it as a space? Or as Zhizhi's mother?"

The little cub's bright, clear eyes held a deep expectation, even after it had truly learned that its mother was Space, and Space was En Ning's mother.

There was still some regret in her young heart.

She hasn't yet gone butterfly chasing with her mother in the spring, nor boating with her in the summer. In the autumn, she would peel a big bowl of crab and mix it with noodles for her mother. In the winter... she could cook a pot of fragrant and rich milk tea, letting her mother taste a sweetness she had never experienced before.

She has so many good things she hasn't done with En Ning's mother yet!

En Ning's voice was filled with doting affection: "If you're happy, I'll receive a reward. So I hope to fulfill a small wish of our Zhi Zhi, both as a space and as a mother."

Zhizhi lowered her eyes and thought and thought, many wishes flashing through her little head.

For a moment, I didn't know which wish I should bring up.

"I have so many things I want to do with Mommy..."

"—You turn her back into a human and bring her back to us."

Jiang Yan spoke in a hoarse, weak voice, but the urgency in his voice betrayed his true emotions.

"ah!"

The little cub was startled by the sudden sound.

She turned around abruptly and found that Jiang Yan had already struggled to sit up at some point.

His dark eyes were fixed on Zhizhi. "I looked for a long time and didn't see En Ning, but I could hear her voice. She didn't die, did she?"

Or rather, although she has passed away.

But in another form, he has always been by Zhizhi's side.

Although Jiang Yan was engaged in scientific research, he was not a complete materialist.

On the contrary, their research institute also has a strong belief in metaphysics.

For example, there are always some strange ornaments in the data room, and there are some statues with special significance at the entrance of the research institute.

From the location of the launch test to the timing of the launch, everything is calculated by professionals who are knowledgeable in feng shui.

The end of science often lies in the unfathomable metaphysics.

Therefore, after hearing En Ning's voice, he already had a pretty good idea of ​​what to do.

En Ning may not have actually died.

She simply cannot appear.

But what if that wish was for her to become human?

"you... ..."

The cub instantly fell silent.

When did he wake up?

No! Why would he make such a wish?

Can this wish really come true?

"Zhizhi, make a wish and ask her to come back, okay?"

Jiang Yan grabbed the little cub's wrist urgently, his breathing rapid, "Let Mom come back, let the three of us live our lives in Beijing. I won't be so busy anymore. After the Dongfeng-5 launch is successful, I promise I will retire from the front line and take good care of you. I can do everything Jiang Anchao can do. Let En Ning come back, let Mom come back!"

"Dad, Dad... you scratched your knee."

Zhizhi looked hesitant.

Before she knew that the Space Sister was her mother, she had asked her more than once if she could appear in front of her.

My mother has already answered no.

Can making a wish bring her back to life?

This is simply... as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

[Jiang Yan, don't treat her like this...]

Ji Enning's tone was anxious. "I can't go back, and your obsession should end now. I don't blame you. Don't make things difficult for the child; she's so young. She just saved you. Please don't do this!"

"On what grounds?"

Jiang Yan's eyes were bloodshot; the joy he had felt upon finally learning that his wife was still alive vanished in an instant.

His eyelashes fluttered violently. "You've been with her for so long, you can understand her, you feel sorry for her, but what about me? Why haven't you been able to bear coming back to see me for so long?"

Jiang Yan staggered, almost losing his balance.

"Many times, when I was so tired that I fell asleep at my desk, I so wished you could appear in my dreams, come into my dreams and talk to me, even just once. En Ning, I've almost forgotten what you look like, why can't you save me...?"

Hearing his words, Ji Enning remained silent for a very long time.

After a while, she slowly spoke:

[I've been gone for a long time. An old woman who sells soup told me that my child was deeply troubled and lived a life of misery. She should have been a happy child, so she sent me to this space to be with her and give her a happy life.]

[Zhizhi's happiness index is almost full. She has loving parents, the care of her maternal grandparents and uncles, and you... Jiang Yan, you may not be a good father, but I believe you can try to learn how to treat your daughter. As for me, I need to go and serve the next unhappy person.]

Jiang Yan's eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

"I'm unhappy enough..."

Zhizhi understood what Enning's mother meant.

It turns out that Mom reappeared in this world because of her.

Zhizhi pursed her lips, "Mom, I've thought of my last wish."

You say that Mom is listening.

En Ning's voice was choked with sobs; she was clearly even more reluctant to part with the little cub.

However, even after traveling a thousand miles to see you off, we must eventually part ways.

Seeing her daughter living a happy life in the future, she already feels very content.

Zhizhi raised her little face with a big smile on her lips, "Mommy... Zhizhi's last wish is that Mommy can spend the rest of her days with the people she wants to be with, and live a happy and joyful life. Zhizhi only has this one wish. Mommy, don't worry about me anymore. Everything is fine with Zhizhi!"

Although she was speaking with a smile, tears inexplicably streamed down her face.

The little cub waved to the void.

Ji Enning remained silent for a very long time.

Until the very end.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, little master! Your happiness level is 100!]

[Little master, the breeding farm and vegetable and fruit planting base in the space will be permanently open to you. Because your happiness value is full, we have also given you a special product from the future time and space: a small supermarket.]

It contains snacks from the future, jelly, dried fruit, even down jackets, rocking cars, and everything else imaginable.

As long as these snacks aren't taken out and reveal the existence of this space, the little master's snacks from his past life can all be found here. However, although the snacks are delicious, they also contain many additives, so the little master must not be greedy!

Ji Enning informed Zhizhi again in a formal tone.

With a smile in her voice, she solemnly announced:

【Zhizhi, Mommy has to say goodbye to you. Mommy... is leaving.】

The moment the words were spoken, a faint light suddenly appeared inside the space.

Immediately afterwards, a woman with a radiant and pure appearance appeared on the other side of the lawn.

She was wearing a sky-blue dress and had her hair styled in a side braid.

With just one glance, Zhizhi could recognize that the person in front of her was Enning's mother, because when she smiled, her dimples were faintly visible on her cheeks.

"En Ning!"

Jiang Yan's eyes widened, and he wanted to reach out and touch her.

But his feet seemed to be rooted to the spot, impossible to pull out.

"Mother!"

The little cub lunged forward without hesitation.

As she ran, her tears fell into the wind.

Just as she was about to reach out and touch the illusory figure, the figure suddenly turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.

"Mother!"

"Mommy, can you hear me? Are you still there? Can you answer me?"

Zhizhi called out in a hoarse voice.

But all that responded to the little cub was the warm and gentle breeze of the space.

Zhizhi closed her eyes and let her tears fall into the grass.

Let her have a good cry.

After she finished crying, she still needed to take Jiang Yan out of the space and do the things she hadn't finished.

Mother... ...

There's one more thing Zhizhi didn't tell you.

Zhizhi really misses you, misses you so much...

Zhizhi really loves you.

... ...

Military Region Headquarters

"—Jiang Gong can't be found? What do you mean?"

Ji Chenxing's eyes were filled with disbelief. "Do you know what you're talking about?"

That's Jiang Yan, a talent specially recruited by the state. The classified experimental project is about to enter the launch phase.

At this critical juncture, they lost Jiang Yan.

That would probably turn the entire capital into chaos this year!

Bai Qi took a deep breath, her brows furrowing even more. "I went to check, and I also asked Brother Jiang and Sister-in-law. They said that Zhizhi and Engineer Jiang were upstairs. When I went to look for them, I couldn't find a trace of them, so I'm worried too."

Jiang Anchao and Deng Qiu exchanged a glance, their expressions suggesting they wanted to say something but hesitated.

After all, that's Zhizhi's space, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Besides, nobody knows what exactly happened to Zhizhi this time. Normally, going to her space doesn't take this long.

To my surprise, three or four hours have passed and the person still hasn't shown up.

Deng Qiu pondered for a moment before speaking: "Perhaps Jiang Yan has been taken to a secret place for treatment. After all, being shot is no small matter; one wrong move and he could lose his life. Let's wait and see?"

"Nonsense! A child and a patient—who can afford to wait for their safety?"

Ji Chenxing disagreed.

At this moment, he was extremely anxious, wishing he could conjure up two radar eyes to scan the entire capital and find Zhizhi and Jiang Yan even from the cracks in the floor.

Jiang Yan is the backbone of the nation.

Zhizhi was also the precious darling of several families.

Each and every one of them is extremely important!

"No! We must find them! We must find them! Mobilize the entire military region, we'll dig three feet into the ground if we have to!"

Ji Chenxing issued the military order.

Just then, the errand boy outside suddenly rushed in.

"Report!"

Seeing the group of people anxious and upset, the soldier was frightened and immediately reported, "There's a little girl at the door who says she's looking for her father."

"Little girl... ...is this military region just a playground for her? Go find a platoon leader and ask him what's going on. Don't bother me with such trivial matters. I have important business to attend to!"

Ji Chenxing waved his hand, too lazy to say anything more.

"elder brother!"

Ji Yanjing stared wide-eyed at him, "Are you stupid?"

Little girl, come to the military region to find your father!

I haven't even figured out what's going on yet!

"What are you yelling for?" Ji Chenxing was initially impatient, but when he looked up, he saw that everyone in the room was staring at him.

He suddenly thought for a moment, and his expression changed instantly.

"Quickly, bring them here!"

Great! It's Zhizhi! They're saved!
