Hearing the voice, Wen Qinghe looked down, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "Ayan, you're back?"
The branch swayed, and the man felt a chill run down his spine. "Sweetie, stay there and don't move,"
"But I still have a little bit left to pick..."
"Wait a minute, sweetie, don't move, be good."
"oh."
Once he was sure the man wouldn't move, the man quickly moved a ladder from the corner of the wall and propped it up against the tree trunk.
Once he reached the top of the ladder and embraced that figure, Yan Xiao finally felt relieved.
Reluctant to scold her, Yan Xiao put her on the ground and simply said, "Wait obediently."
In no time, they climbed the tree and picked the reddest clusters of fruit into their basket.
When Yan Xiao climbed down from the tree again with the basket, before Wen Qinghe could react, he bent down without saying a word, hooked his arm around the girl's waist, and carried her into the house.
"Eh—Ayan?"
Wen Qinghe couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Don't shout now, save your energy."
The man's low, husky voice carried a hint of gritted teeth.
Wen Qinghe: ? ? !!! !
The sun was shining brightly, and it was almost noon.
Wen Qinghe felt a chill creep up her spine and down her calves.
She swallowed hard and said weakly:
"Ah Yan, let's do it tonight... It's still morning now... Hmm."
The man turned the girl on his shoulder and pulled her into his arms, lowering his head to bite into the sweet, soft flesh he hadn't tasted in a week. Only after thoroughly wiping away all the saliva from the girl's lips and teeth did he pant and say:
"My baby is being disobedient."
"What did I do wrong?" the girl asked, frowning and covering her bitten lip.
"You dared to do something as dangerous as climbing a tree? What if I hadn't come back today..."
Just thinking about those swaying branches makes Yan Xiao's heart skip a beat.
"I can come down too. What's this tree? I used to climb over walls when I was a kid..." Well, I just wasn't paying attention and fell. Luckily, the bodyguard caught me.
Wen Qinghe's eyes flickered; she had accidentally revealed one of the few embarrassing things she had done as a child in modern times.
The man's dark eyes deepened, and he chuckled inwardly.
Ha, she's quite proud of herself!
They really need to be taught a lesson.
It had been a week since they last met, and Yan Xiao was missing him terribly, both mentally and physically.
…
"Hmm,...in broad daylight...."
"You'll remember something more if you can see it during the day."
"I don't want it to be so deep, I won't climb it again next time..."
"Qingqing is well-behaved now? Ha, too late."
"Waaaah... Don't be so mean..."
"Fierce? I love my baby too much to be fierce."
The man asked the question knowing the answer, yet his actions were swift and decisive.
"Sweetie...look at me..."
The little girl cried so hard that her long eyelashes were wet with tears and clumped together, and the corners of her eyes were tinged with a pitiful red.
At this moment, the man's expression and actions seemed to be severely disconnected.
His eyes held a deep and precious longing, and his gaze was filled with a profound and ardent love.
The overwhelming and passionate love that was presented was almost too much for Wen Qinghe to resist...
…
The outdoor temperature was scorching, and the water in the water tank in the yard had been exposed to the sun all afternoon, so the water in the tank had become boiling hot.
The man, shirtless and drenched in sweat, came out of the main house and carefully mixed cold water, adjusting the water temperature.
He carried the water vat, weighing two or three hundred pounds, into the house before taking the unconscious girl from the bed to wash her.
There's also a bathroom inside, but I don't know if they used too much water this afternoon, because the water from the tap is flowing slowly and in a thin stream right now.
He was worried that the little girl would catch a cold, so he had to move the water vat from the yard.
By the time the little girl was dressed in her nightgown and the sheets were changed, the sun had already set outside.
The person on the bed was still sobbing in their sleep. Yan Xiao pursed his lips, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.
He thought he could control it, but he overlooked the duration of his hunger...
Fortunately, we've already had a good meal, so we can take our time with the next one.
…
For two whole days, Wen Qinghe didn't leave the house.
Yesterday, love surged; today, tenderness flows.
Wen Qinghe was finally able to rest when the moon was high in the sky.
Just after eight o'clock, Wen Qinghe and Yan Xiao appeared in the modern house as usual.
She sensed, however, that she was losing control of her body.
She even tried to lift her arm several times, but couldn't. It was Yan Xiao who noticed something was wrong and immediately picked her up and sat her up.
"What's wrong, Qingqing?"
Wen Qinghe tried to move her fingers, but felt as if her soul and body were separated. She closed her eyes and led Yan Xiao to try to enter the space, which made her feel better.
Yan Xiao looked nervous. The little girl's face had looked terrible just now; her complexion was pale and her lips were dull. This state was somewhat similar to how he looked when he first met her.
"My sweetheart?"
Wen Qinghe's discomfort subsided somewhat after she entered the space.
"Ayan, I feel very weak. Quickly, take me to soak in the spring water..."
"good."
The man didn't dare delay and quickly brought the girl into the bathtub.
The warm water gradually covered my body, but the effect was minimal.
Just when Wen Qinghe thought the spring water's effect had failed, she looked up and saw that the countdown numbers on the hourglass not far away had changed.
The countdown timer has changed from 23 hours and 59 minutes to 11 hours and 59 minutes.
Wen Qinghe's pupils trembled, her eyes filled with disbelief.
The man followed her gaze and was equally shocked.
"What...what's going on? The time has been halved?"
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"
Before Yan Xiao could finish speaking, a crackling sound of electricity rang out in the space.
The abrupt sound was unusually clear in the space.
Yan Xiao immediately wrapped the little one in a bath towel and held him in his arms.
The man's eyes were sharp. "Who is it? Show yourself!"
Wen Qinghe was also startled.
After all, since she acquired the space, she had never heard any unusual sounds from anyone other than herself and Yan Xiao within it.
She couldn't help but nervously grip the man's clothes tightly.
While remaining calm, Yan Xiao whispered to comfort the person in his arms, "Don't be afraid, sweetheart."
But he tightened his grip on the little figure.
The buzzing sound of electricity paused for a moment, followed by a mechanical voice:
"History has shifted, and time will permanently freeze in the current world in 11 hours and 58 minutes, making time travel no longer possible. Please use the remaining time to arrange your asset conversion. Once the time limit is exceeded, it will be automatically reset to zero, and the time travel point will be permanently fixed in 1978."
Yan Xiao's eyes showed surprise, but he still asked warily, "Who are you?"
"I am Nanbowan, a higher world system."
Wen Qinghe swallowed hard. "System...?"
She's had her own spatial ability for years, and only now has the legendary system appeared? Is there a signal delay in this system?
