Little Ji Yu cried so hard that Wen Qing felt his chest was wet with his tears. He coaxed her softly, "I know little Ji Yu is the best."

"Little Ji Yu is even more obedient than other children."

"I won't leave."

Little Ji Yu hugged Wen Qing tightly, his face covered with tears and snot. He choked and said, "Mother will go."

Wen Qing opened his mouth and wanted to say no, but soon realized that what Xiao Jiyu meant by "leave" was not the same as what he meant by "leave".

He meant not leaving the room.

Perhaps Xiao Jiyu meant not to leave the castle.

The way little Ji Yu looks now, it's obvious that he knows something.

What did Sikong say to him? Or what did he do?

Wen Qing frowned and patted little Ji Yu's back gently.

He thought about it for a while and wondered if Xiao Jiyu knew about the last time he went out for a walk?

Wen Qing thought for a moment and coaxed in a low voice: "Didn't I come back after I went out last time?"

"I also brought you some delicious jerky, right?"

Hearing this, little Ji Yu paused in crying.

He slowly raised his head and looked at Wen Qing with wide eyes. Tears welled up in his eyes and flowed down.

Has the mother gone out yet?

Have you seen the well-behaved children outside?

…………

Wen Qing thought he had coaxed the child and was about to speak, but the next second, he saw little Ji Yu pursed his lips, cried out, and started crying even harder.

“Don’t wow…”

"I don't want my mother to go out..."

Little Ji Yu raised his head and cried loudly. His whole face turned red and his body was twitching slightly.

Wen Qing didn't mention going out anymore. She quickly wiped his tears and echoed Xiao Jiyu's words: "Okay, okay, I won't go out..."

Wen Qing half-knelt in front of little Ji Yu and comforted him in a low voice.

He didn't know how long he had been coaxing him. After a long while, he saw little Ji Yu crying, his mouth getting bigger and bigger, and he yawned.

With his eyes swollen like walnuts, he sobbed and said to Wen Qing: "Mother, I, I'm sleepy..."

Wen Qing suppressed his laughter and whispered, "Then I'll hold you to sleep, okay?"

Little Ji Yu grabbed the corner of Wen Qing's clothes, shook his head slowly, and said, "I can sleep by myself."

Wen Qing paused when she was about to hug him.

Little Ji Yu did not untie his clothes, but whispered: "Mom, can you sleep with me?"

Wen Qing responded and was pulled to the bed by Xiao Jiyu.

The bed was very high, and it was not convenient for Ji Yu to climb up with his height.

Wen Qing originally wanted to carry little Ji Yu up, but before he could do anything, he saw little Ji Yu loosen his clothes, skillfully stepped on the decorations at the foot of the bed, and climbed onto the bed by himself.

Little Ji Yu lay down on the bed, raised his hand and patted the empty space beside him, looking at Wen Qing eagerly: "Mom, sleep with us too."

"Okay." Wen Qing responded and lay down next to him.

Little Ji Yu slowly moved closer to Wen Qing, grabbing the corner of Wen Qing's clothes with his little hands, as if he was afraid that he would leave.

Wen gently touched his head and whispered, "Go to sleep, I won't leave."

Little Ji Yu responded softly. He was obviously tired of crying. Not long after he closed his eyes, he began to snore softly.

Wen Qing chuckled in his heart, tucked in the quilt for little Ji Yu, and looked around the bedroom.

The decoration in Xiao Jiyu's room is similar to that in other rooms, but there are very few things in it, nothing else except the necessities. There is a simple tea set on the table, and the chairs seem to be very old, with some paint peeling off the legs. There is not even a small chair for Xiao Jiyu to climb onto the bed.

Xiao Jiyu doesn't want to come into contact with humans or let others get close to him because he wants to satisfy humans' wishes.

Xiao Jiyu is the key to passing the level.

But you can't wish to take them out of the castle.

Wen Qing lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.

There was no way Sikong would agree to leave.

This copy is forcing players to complete the game.

Does taking them out of the castle really mean leaving literally?

…………

Wen Qing had been daydreaming for the whole day, and little Ji Yu had also slept for a long time.

I slept from morning till evening and then woke up slowly.

When he woke up, little Ji Yu was still a little confused.

He stared blankly at Wen Qing beside him. His cheeks slowly turned red when he thought of himself crying. He embarrassedly crawled into the bed and hid himself.

Wen Qing looked at the bulge on the bed and smiled: "Did you get enough sleep?"

After a while, a muffled childish voice came from under the quilt: "I've had enough sleep."

Wen Qing continued to ask: "I slept with little Ji Yu."

"Then can Xiao Jiyu have dinner with me?"

"Um……"

Wen Qing climbed out of bed, walked to the door and said to the housekeeper, "Prepare dinner for Xiao Jiyu and me."

"Yes." The butler nodded and walked towards the stairs.

Wen Qing closed the door and turned around, only to see that little Ji Yu had already gotten off the bed. He ran to the chair, climbed up on it by himself, and sat down obediently waiting for his meal.

Little Ji Yu stretched out his little arms, picked up the teapot and teacup, poured a cup of water, handed it to Wen Qing, and said shyly, "Mother, drink some water."

"Thank you, Xiao Jiyu." Wen Qing took the teacup and lowered his head to drink the water.

Glancing at Xiao Jiyu's calm expression, he asked hesitantly, "Xiao Jiyu, can you tell me what happened?"

Hearing this, little Ji Yu's expression froze, he lowered his head, and stammered without saying a word.

Wen Qing put down the teacup and asked softly, "Did someone tell you something?"

Little Ji Yu nodded slowly.

Wen Qing didn't ask what was said, but whispered to Xiao Jiyu: "Xiao Jiyu, if there is anything you want to know, you can ask me directly. I don't want to believe what others say."

Little Ji Yu was stunned for a moment, then looked up blankly at Wen Qing.

Wen gently touched his head and asked softly: "Xiao Jiyu, do you think I know myself better, or do others know me better?"

Little Ji Yu took a moment to react and said slowly, "My mother knows me better."

"Yes," Wen Qing paused and said to him, "So if you have any questions, just come and ask me."

"If there's a problem, we can solve it together, right?"

Little Ji Yu clutched the corner of his clothes, lowered his head, and said sullenly, "I'm sorry, mother."

Wen chuckled, "No need to apologize."

"Xiao Jiyu did nothing wrong."

Little Ji Yu looked at his hands and whispered, "Yes."

He did something wrong.

He didn't want his mother to leave.

Wen Qing didn't think much about what Xiao Jiyu meant.

Soon, the butler came in with the food. He set the table for the two of them and said to Wen Qing in a low voice without disturbing them, "I'll wait for you outside the door."

Wen Qing responded, and seeing Xiao Jiyu eating with big mouthfuls, he habitually picked up some food for Xiao Jiyu.

But little Ji Yu was quicker than him. She picked up the dish and put it in Wen Qing's bowl, saying softly, "Eat more, mother."

"I can eat by myself."

Wen Qing understood that he was politely refusing to serve her food, nodded, and asked, "Xiao Jiyu, do you have anything to ask me?"

Little Ji Yu paused while eating and asked hesitantly, "Why does mother want to leave here?"

He pursed his lips and said seriously: "Whatever mother wants, I will give you, and then stay here, isn't it good?"

Wen smiled and asked, "What can Xiao Jiyu give me?"

Little Ji Yu put down his chopsticks and counted on his fingers, saying, "Wealth, beauty, health, longevity..."

Wen Qing listened and suddenly realized that all the wishes that Xiao Jiyu expressed were about giving something.

He asked Xiao Jiyu tentatively: "Are there any restrictions on Xiao Jiyu's wishes?"

Little Ji Yu was stunned for a moment, his face full of confusion: "Restriction?"

Wen Qing reorganized his words and asked again: "Is there anything that can't be done?"

Little Jiyu shook his head: "I don't know."

“I gave them everything they wanted.”

Wen Qing pondered for a while, then asked, "Have you been giving things?"

Xiao Jiyu nodded.

Wen Qing asked, "Can that make something disappear?"

Little Ji Yu frowned and shook his head slowly: "No."

He looked at Wen Qing blankly: "Father said that humans need our protection, so we must give them what they want."

Wen Qing was stunned.

Little Ji Yu actually didn't understand the meaning of what he just said. He thought about it and said to Wen Qing: "I will protect my mother."

Wen smiled lightly: "Okay, little Ji Yu, you must protect me well."

Little Jiyu nodded vigorously and asked, "So mother can stay here forever?"

Wen Qing was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Little Ji Yu wants to be with his mother, right?"

Xiao Jiyu nodded.

Wen Qing whispered, "Mother also wants to be with her own mother."

Little Ji Yu was stunned: "Mother's mother..."

Wen gently pinched his cheek and said softly, "Yes."

"Besides my mother, I have friends."

"Just like..." Wen Qing glanced at the three-headed dog lying on the ground and gave an analogy to little Ji Yu, "Just like you and Chichi, your mother's friends are all outside."

"If I'm outside and Chichi is outside too, will little Jiyu want to leave here?"

Xiao Jiyu nodded slowly.

Wen Qing saw that his mood had become low again, so he stopped talking about it and said, "Let's eat first."

Little Ji Yu responded, looked at Wen Qing, then looked at Chi Chi, and lowered his head even more.

After dinner, Wen Qing played with Xiao Jiyu and ate until late at night. He left only when Xiao Jiyu felt sleepy again.

…

After taking a nap during the day, Wen Qing didn’t feel sleepy at all and sat in the chair in a daze.

The butler came forward and poured him a glass of water.

Wen Qing blinked and caught a glimpse of the glaring light from the mirror out of the corner of his eye.

He paused and looked at the mirror.

The mirror simply reflected the appearance of the room, without any abnormality or signs of a warm mirror.

Wen Qing's eyelids twitched. Wen Jing did not walk out from in front of the mirror. The mirror kept acting strangely, reflecting Wen Jing's appearance.

But after the warm mirror left the mirror, the mirror returned to normal.

Even if he returns to the mirror again, the mirror will remain normal for a long time.

And last night Wen Jing returned to Jingzi as if he had no choice but to go back.

Wen Qing's heart skipped a beat. He put down the teacup and said to the housekeeper, "I want some milk tea."

"Can you bring it to me in three minutes?"

The housekeeper's eyes flashed blue, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Yes."

After saying that, he turned and left the room.

Wen exhaled lightly, stood up nervously, and walked to the mirror.

He slowly raised his hand and poked the mirror with his fingertips.

Still nothing unusual.

Wen Qing called out softly, "Wen Jing."

In the absence of the housekeeper, Wen Jing did not show up.

Wen Qing was now certain that Wen Jing did not want to appear, but that he could not appear.

He probably can't leave the mirror for too long.

Wen Qing lowered his eyes and recalled Xiao Jiyu and Yu Xing's room.

There is no mirror in Xiao Jiyu's room...

There is no room for Yu Xing either...

Don't they need to look back into the mirror?

The difference between them and Wen Jing...

Wen Qing tilted his head and looked out the window.

Under the cover of night, the rose bushes surrounding the castle looked particularly dreamy under the light, while the roses further away were swallowed up by the darkness and could not be seen at all.

Wen Qing pursed her lips, and her thoughts gradually became clear.

Sikong and Yu Xing can know what happened in the castle, and little Ji Yu can fulfill human wishes.

This castle is their territory.

They don't leave and let others in.

Here is...their mirror.

Mirror, Little Ji Yu, Give...

Wen Qing returned to his seat, closed his eyes, and figured it out.

The butler pushed the door open and glanced at Wen Qing who was thinking. Without interrupting his train of thought, he gently put down what he was holding.

Feeling the familiar coldness, Wen Qing opened his eyes and met the butler's blue eyes.

Wen Qing looked at him and shouted in his heart: [System. ]

001: [Yes.]

Wen Qing: [I am about to clear the level. ]

001: [Congratulations.]

Wen Qing: [You are about to fall out of love. ]

001: [……]
