The next day, Bi Qiaoan called Xiao Fei and asked about the ring. Xiao Fei nervously clenched his right hand, but said that he had never seen it before and did not know why. Xiao Fei was very reluctant to return the ring to Bi Qiaoan.
Xiao Fei kept telling himself, "I just picked up something someone else lost. It's okay, it's okay."
Regardless of the circumstances, Xiao Fei knew that his actions were illegal, but looking back on that moment, he felt as if he had acted without reason.
Xiao Fei was absent-minded all day. He accidentally broke a water glass and cut his palm. When Xiao Fei wiped the blood with a tissue, his ring was stained with his blood.
Xiao Fei was stunned. Good heavens, this was actually a treasure! The legendary spatial dimension!!!
At this moment, Xiao Fei felt even more strongly that he absolutely could not let Bi Qiaoan find out that he had taken her ring.
Xiao Fei found a red string, tied the ring to it, and put it around his neck. He was thinking about buying a fishing line later, since he heard that was the strongest thing.
Xiao Fei thought it best to break up with Bi Qiaoan, otherwise, if they stayed together, she would eventually find out that he had stolen her ring.
Finally, Xiao Fei came up with a solution.
After graduation, Bi Qiaoan moved back to her own home. On this day, Xiao Fei brought a few of his more difficult relatives to Bi Qiaoan's house to show off. The group of people were arrogant and stood at the door, shouting and cursing that they wanted to move into Bi Qiaoan's house.
Those people kept saying, "You brat, once you marry into the Xiao family, you'll be a member of the Xiao family, and this house will belong to the Xiao family too. Get out of the way! If you don't let us move in today, don't even think about entering the Xiao family's door!"
Bi Qiaoan was furious. After calling and berating Xiao Fei, she broke up with him.
Xiao Fei laughed and quickly called to appease his awful relatives, promising to treat them to a good meal. Only then did the relatives return home, still grumbling.
Afterwards, Xiao Fei happily stored a lot of things in his space, including all kinds of food, household items, and toys, and also bought a lot of seeds. However, Xiao Fei felt that farming was too tiring, and besides, with money, there was nothing he couldn't buy.
Who would have thought that the apocalypse would come, and that food production would decrease year by year after the apocalypse? It was only then that Xiao Fei realized how precious Bi Qiaoan's ring truly was.
Xiao Fei dared not tell anyone, and every day he would secretly go into the space to farm, where the crops matured exceptionally quickly.
So while others were skin and bones, the Xiao family members still had rosy lips, white teeth, and plump figures. That's how Xiao Fei caught the attention of the higher-ups.
The above is still quite humane; Xiao Fei was not imprisoned or dismembered. Instead, the two sides reached a cooperation agreement, and Xiao Fei was required to contribute half of the grain as tribute.
People were sent to follow Xiao Fei, both to protect him and to monitor him. Xiao Fei didn't care and continued his daily life as usual.
But gradually, he discovered that his space was not very stable. He felt that the more food he planted, the stronger the feeling that the space was about to fly away became.
Xiao Fei didn't dare tell his superiors, but he was anxious. Finally, Xiao Fei decided to test Bi Qiaoan.
Xiao Fei carried some food and found Bi Qiaoan, who was already very thin.
After exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Fei slowly got to the point, but Bi Qiaoan knew nothing about it.
Xiao Fei lost all interest in the matter and got up to leave. However, Bi Qiaoan did not want to accept Xiao Fei's food at that time. Firstly, in the apocalypse, food was life, and Bi Qiaoan could not repay it. Secondly, when they broke up, Bi Qiaoan had scolded Xiao Fei and said many hurtful things, and she did not want to have anything to do with him again.
However, since it was because of Bi Qiaoan that Xiao Fei had this opportunity, he still felt somewhat indebted to Bi Qiaoan.
As the two were shoving each other, Xiao Fei grabbed Bi Qiaoan's wrist, and at that moment, a miracle occurred: the tremoring space calmed down.
Xiao Fei found it unbelievable, yet also felt it was only natural. Perhaps it was because the means by which he obtained it were illegitimate that the space would tremble, while the space would quiet down when it encountered its original owner.
So, from then on, every time the space trembled, Xiao Fei would go to Bi Qiaoan and take the opportunity to hug her to calm the space down. Over time, this gave people the illusion that he still cared about Bi Qiaoan.
Bi Qiaoan couldn't get rid of Xiao Fei, and two years passed like this. That's how Chen Jin developed a resentment towards Bi Qiaoan.
Bi Qiaoan could not find the truth about her past life.
It's ironic that Bi Qiaoan was lucky, because that ring was passed down from the Shen family to their daughters-in-law, and Xiao Fei, being a man, naturally couldn't become a Shen family daughter-in-law.
If the person who recognized her as their master had been a woman, then Bi Qiaoan might not have been able to be reborn and would not have been able to obtain this space again.
Because Xiao Fei is a man, the space will be very unstable after he recognizes the master.
As for why Bi Qiaoan could keep the space quiet, firstly, Bi Qiaoan had worn the ring close to her body for many years, and the ring had long been imbued with Bi Qiaoan's aura; secondly, Shen Yanming had another ring in his hand, and Shen Yanming was thinking about Bi Qiaoan.
In his previous life, Shen Yanming was also unlucky. He never recognized the ring in his hand as his owner until his death, which led to Xiao Fei occupying the Shen family's space for many years.
If Shen Yanming had been luckier and had recognized his ring as his owner earlier, he would have been able to sense the anomaly and reclaim the space from Xiao Fei. Unfortunately, Shen Yanming in his previous life was not so lucky.
Later, after going through many hardships, Shen Yanming finally found Bi Qiaoan, but by then Bi Qiaoan was already on her deathbed. Shen Yanming was heartbroken and died with Bi Qiaoan on that snowy night.
As Bi Qiaoan breathed her last, the space around Xiao Fei seemed to be summoned, drawing life force towards Bi Qiaoan. Together with the ring on Shen Yanming's body, they exhausted their energy to bring the two back to the past.
When Bi Qiaoan died, Xiao Fei felt a pang of heart palpitation and rushed into the space to check, but found nothing unusual.
Xiao Fei continued living his life as usual until several months later when he suddenly realized that the space had not fluctuated at all during those months. Could it be that the space had completely merged with him?
Xiao Fei couldn't help but feel secretly pleased with himself, but little did he know that this was just the beginning of his nightmare.
The space Xiao Fei currently possesses is merely a remnant of the original space. To put it simply, although Xiao Fei can only see a plot of land about one acre in size after recognizing it as his master, there are still things behind the white mist around him. These things complement the land that Xiao Fei can see, constantly infusing it with vitality, which is why the plants can mature so quickly.
Bi Qiaoan's passing took away the vitality of life. Now, in Xiao Fei's space, there is nothing behind the white mist, and the plants can only grow by relying on the remaining vitality in the ground.
If it were done on a one-season-per-year basis, the plants could still replenish the land with some vitality and maintain the space's operation. But Xiao Fei didn't know that; he had already gotten used to the previous rapid harvesting method.
Therefore, the space and land not only do not receive replenishment of life, but also continue to consume the remaining life in the land. One day, when all the life is exhausted, the space will also collapse and dissipate.
This day may be far away, or it may be very near, but in any case, this day will eventually come.
The above is the truth that Bi Qiaoan has been searching for in both her past and present lives.
