Chapter 1

The weather was a bit gloomy today. It was after ten o'clock before the sun broke through the thick clouds and shone through the glass onto the desk.

The young man who was concentrating on typing on the computer keyboard was suddenly blinded by a golden light. When he finally pulled his mind away from his work, he realized that not only his eyes were uncomfortable, but his head was also a little aching.

Aifeisi pulled down the blinds next to him, glanced at the time displayed in the corner of the computer, and finally realized that if he didn't go to bed, he might die suddenly.

“Buzz——”

Just after closing the computer, the phone vibrated. Ai Feisi rubbed his temples with one hand and picked up the phone with the other hand. His low voice was slightly hoarse: "What are you doing?"

Xu Shuang seemed a little excited: "Brother, this is great news. You still remember my girlfriend's best friend, right? She seems to be interested in you and insisted that I set up a party for you to hang out. I'm here to pick you up now. If you're willing, you can get rid of being single today!"

Ai Feisi could clearly see the gossipy and obscene expression on his friend's face through his friend's tone. He was not only physically tired, but also mentally tired. "No, I need to catch up on some sleep later." The computer screen could even reflect the dark circles under his eyes.

"What's the matter? Did you stay up late to work again? I've told you many times that staying up late will make you ugly. Can you please cherish that handsome face!" He still remembered the first time he met Ai Feisi. That face really made him jealous and admired. He couldn't resist the fact that the man was capable and knew how to behave. Later, Xu Shuang let go of his jealousy and his relationship with him gradually improved. Now they are good friends and partners.

"It's not staying up late, it's just all night."

Xu Shuang choked and became even more annoyed: "Can you cherish your life!" Then he frowned, "Are you working on my orders?"

"Boss Xu directly chose my studio, so of course I have to do my best and not let your father down. Don't worry, it's normal for young people to occasionally work all night."

Xu Shuang curled his lips: "Other bosses force their employees to work 996, but you are a breath of fresh air. The employees have two days off, but you schedule yourself to work 007. Working overtime without anyone to accompany you, tut tut, it's too lonely."

Ai Feisi supported his forehead with his hands, closed his eyes and replied slowly: "A single dog's holiday is so plain and simple, but you are right, it is indeed a bit lonely. Then, could you please write an advertising plan for your product, Master Xu?"

Xu Shuang: "..." Damn! When you were laughing at him, you forgot that you were a partner!

"Hey, brother, I have a date, so let's not talk anymore. Go and catch up on your sleep, or you might as well lose your life!"

After just two minutes of chatting, the other party hung up the phone neatly. The young man laughed, then stood up and prepared to go to the refrigerator to get something to eat. Unexpectedly, he felt a little nervous as soon as he stood up, and his vision went dark. He held on to the back of the chair for a few seconds before he could see clearly in front of him. Ai Feisi felt that his breathing seemed a little tired than usual, and he couldn't help but sigh. He hadn't exercised much in just a year, but his physical condition had declined too quickly.

The body was sending out signals that it urgently needed rest. Aifeisi didn't even dare to eat breakfast. After all, starvation wouldn't kill a person in a short period of time, but it was hard to say whether he would die suddenly. So sleeping was more important.

Aifeisi had closed his eyes for several minutes. His handsome face showed obvious fatigue and his brows were slightly furrowed, which showed that he was not resting well.

After staying up all night, his body was exhausted but his spirit was unusually excited. Because he couldn't sleep, he had a headache and was panicking, which made Aifei a little anxious. However, his mind was still very active. While thinking about the unfinished work in his mind, he thought that he would be able to fall asleep if he lay down for a while.

It’s okay to stay up late occasionally in the future, but never all night again - this is what Ai Feisi thought a second before he lost consciousness.

The tension in his mind finally broke, and the young man's tense expression completely relaxed, his face calm and gentle.

——

It feels so bad...I can hardly breathe!

Ai Feisi was awakened by a suffocating feeling. When he opened his eyes again, he saw only darkness and a strong sense of shaking. What happened? Was it an earthquake?

The strong sense of crisis made Aifei wake up quickly. He wanted to get up and check the situation first, but found that his body was tied up!

My senses are so strange! Could it be that I got some weird disease because of staying up all night? !

Ai Feisi struggled violently, trying to raise his hand to touch the phone to call an ambulance for himself, but inadvertently let out a small and weak hum like a baby.

Ai Feisi was stunned: His throat is broken? ?

The woman holding the child heard the sound and impatiently loosened the robe that was covering her body, revealing the little thing hidden in her arms - not because she realized that covering the baby too tightly would make it uncomfortable, but because she was afraid that the little thing would cry and its tears and snot would get on her clothes, which would be disgusting!

Aifeisi finally saw the light. He was held horizontally by one hand, and the first thing he saw was the clear sky, and - a European and American woman? !

The woman was wearing a white hooded robe with gold embroidery. She had fair skin, deep eyebrows and blue-gray pupils. Her carefully groomed dark red long hair gave her a sense of dignity and nobility. She had a bright face and an arrogant expression. She looked at Ai Feisi with displeasure, just like the noble ladies he had seen in European and American movies and TV dramas who treated slaves as worthless.

Before Aifeisi realized that he had turned into a baby, he just started to wonder "why is he outdoors" and "why is there a foreign woman next to him" when Winnie covered most of his face with her other hand. The baby widened his pure eyes in disbelief and saw the vicious eyes of the strange woman through his fingers.

“Woo——”

He struggled to take his hand out of the tightly wrapped swaddling clothes, trying to push away the person who was trying to suffocate him, but he immediately discovered his own changes - is this my arm? Is this my hand? !

The baby's push and rejection had no effect on an adult, but Winnie's eyes moved, and she didn't know what she was thinking about. She finally withdrew her hand. She snorted coldly and mocked in a low voice, "It turns out that this little bastard is a fool. He doesn't even cry when he is in pain. People with low blood are inferior!"

Aifeisi didn't understand a word the woman said. It didn't have the slightest resemblance to the several foreign languages he had heard before... What was going on!

Aifeisi controlled his thin arms and swung them in front of his eyes. He seemed to have turned into a child! No, no, no, this must be a dream!

Could it be that he unconsciously covered his head with the quilt after falling asleep, so he had such a real feeling of suffocation in his dream?

Aifeisi tried to comfort himself with a more scientific explanation, but... why was the appearance and expression of the foreign woman in the dream so clear? Why could he smell the scent of the forest in his dream? And... why could he analyze and think clearly in his dream?

As if to prove how clear his mind was at the moment, Aifeisi quickly recalled what he had experienced in the past 24 years.

His parents died in a car accident when he was in the first grade of junior high school. His grandparents were used to living in their hometown in the countryside and were not used to city life. They might get lost several times a month and were at a loss what to do, let alone take good care of their grandson.

My grandparents favor boys over girls and are more partial to Aifei's uncle. If they were asked to take care of me, my house would definitely be taken over by my uncle's family.

As a teenager, Ai Feisi had been taught by his parents to develop a sense of independence. After being depressed for a while, he did not disturb any relatives, saved his parents' compensation and insurance money, and resumed his life of commuting from home to school. He continued to study hard and paid more attention to socializing.

Apart from becoming a little calmer, he looks no different from before, and overall, he takes good care of himself.

In addition, a teacher in his class lived in the same community as him. The old teacher, who was about to retire, took good care of him and often took him to school and back home on a small electric scooter. Perhaps because she was worried that the child would be lazy at home and order takeout and eat instant noodles, the teacher's wife would kindly prepare an extra dinner for him to eat together after school. Ai Feisi could not refuse the enthusiasm of the old couple, so he simply paid the food expenses and went to the teacher's house every day.

Ai Feisi is quite famous in the community. He has been well-behaved and cute since he was young, and his grades are excellent. The old couple have watched him grow up. They are very worried that the child will have psychological problems due to lack of family care. In addition to taking care of Ai Feisi's meals, talking to him and tutoring him, the couple also often invite the child to do some "parent-child activities", such as studying food together, growing vegetables and flowers, playing chess and fishing, traveling during winter and summer vacations, etc.

The teacher's children had no objection to their parents' good intentions. After all, the little classmate had good grades and would probably have a bright future. More importantly, he paid for it himself and didn't spend his parents' money, so there was no problem with that.

Over time, Ai Feisi's relationship with his teacher's family was better than that with his own relatives.

In this way, under the care of kind people, Aifeisi grew up healthy both physically and mentally.

He was successfully admitted to the best university in the country. Even in a place where there are many outstanding students, he is one of the most outstanding ones who can get scholarships. He has high IQ and EQ, and his good looks make it easy for him to make friends. As soon as he graduated, he was able to co-found a studio with his friend Xu Shuang, who was a rich second-generation. He easily persuaded several promising talents to work for him. After more than two years of entrepreneurship, he was able to occasionally attract cooperation projects from large enterprises and made good profits. According to this development trend, their studio will be able to expand in a few years.

It can be said that apart from the matter of his parents, Aifeisi's life has been smooth enough to make most people jealous.

At this moment, Aifeisi can recall many details of things, which is not something that can be done in a dream...

He put his little hand into his mouth and bit it... Oh, he had no teeth yet, but the clear sucking feeling was as real as the sense of crisis of almost dying just now.

After eliminating all the impossibilities, he could only think of one answer that fit the current situation—he traveled through time!

Oh my god, he doesn't even read a few novels, he doesn't understand the routine of time travel scripts! Why choose him? !

It was outrageous and unbelievable, but Aifes quickly accepted the reality and focused his attention on the current situation.

He did not have time to digest this matter, because the woman who was holding him and walking hurriedly had stopped. Aifis tilted his little head slightly and saw the wide river. Thinking about the woman's cruel behavior just now and her slightly satisfied smile at this moment, it was self-evident what she was going to do.

Ai Feisi's mood was hard to describe: Could it be that he had a scumbag father in this life who drove his wife crazy, and now the situation has developed to the point where she wants to commit suicide with her child?

It's not his fault for misunderstanding. Ai Feisi knew that there were many evil people in the world, but the probability of a woman being able to cruelly kill another family's innocent child was so low that he simply ignored this possibility. It was more likely that the mother killed the child to avenge the scumbag.

No way, sir, he's going to die now? Can he get the award for the most unlucky time traveler?

Aifeisi didn't want to be drowned, but as a baby, he had no power to resist. He couldn't even perform a miracle like "the genius baby clearly said 'Mom, I love you' and awakened the love of its cruel mother" because of the language barrier!

Even if he said ten sentences, it would probably just sound like gibberish to others.

"Um…"

The little guy was quiet all the way, and finally made some soft and childish humming sounds intermittently. His chubby little hands grabbed the woman's collar and smiled softly and cutely. He didn't know that his face was quite outstanding in this life. Even the most hard-hearted people would unconsciously soften their eyebrows when seeing such a little baby. Unfortunately, the closeness and attachment he performed did not impress the woman at all...

Winnie glanced at the baby's clear, beautiful blue eyes with disgust. "Just like your mother, you have no brains."

She saw someone washing clothes on the opposite bank, and moved the staff in her hand, controlling the wind element to blow a wooden basin into the river and then push it over.

The magic made little noise and did not arouse suspicion from the people on the other side. The owner of the wooden basin only complained that he had bad luck.

Winnie roughly put the baby into the basin. Aifeisi's heart tightened and he began to cry, trying to soften the woman's heart. He also hoped to attract outsiders to come and rescue him.

Unfortunately, both hopes were dashed. Aifeisi, trapped in her weak body, was unable to save herself and was carried away by the current, drifting further and further away...

Winnie watched with satisfaction as the tub turned into a black dot until it disappeared completely.

She didn't know whether the little bastard would drown first or starve to death, but she would be satisfied with either outcome.

She had originally thought of suffocating her to death or just throwing her away in the forest, but Winnie thought of her previous actions. It wouldn't take long for the Lancaster family to link the disappearance of their young master to her. Then they could capture her and ask the Vatican's light wizards to "purify" her dark heart. She would then answer every question like a puppet and honestly reveal the whereabouts of the little bastard.

It didn't matter if she was caught, Winnie didn't want to give them an answer, because that would only allow her to avoid the answer herself.

The noble lady raised her head and raised the corners of her lips arrogantly, "I will make sure they can't even find your body."

How nice it would be if neither the person is seen alive nor the body is found dead, so that the lovers will never let go of their knot in their hearts!

Ai Feisi stared at the boundless sky above with a dull face. It was his first time traveling through time and he had no experience. How could he save himself in this situation?

He knew that staying up late might lead to sudden death, but he didn't know that he might die twice!

At this moment, the only thing that comforted Aifei was that fortunately the will was made early, and his assets and shares were divided up, and he would never give a penny to his disgusting uncle's family!

Tsk, grandparents and teachers are old, I hope they won’t be too stimulated…

Aifeisi did not give up completely, he cried from time to time, hoping someone would hear him and rescue him to the shore. But this little body had not eaten for who knows how long, probably less than two hours, Aifeisi did not have the strength to cry loudly, he could only whimper a few times, if the wooden basin was close to the shore, it is possible that he would be heard.

The wooden basin floated in the wide Manze River. The water flowed fast but calmly, and there were no big waves to overturn the wooden basin.

Babies need a lot of sleep. Aifeisi was drowsy in the gentle swaying of the water. He blinked once and fell asleep inadvertently.
