Two familiar figures quickly came into their eyes, reflecting each other's images.
Wearing a blue ruffled camisole and crisp white wide-leg shorts, You Ning stood at the edge of the corridor. She leaned slightly forward, propped her chin on her elbow, and waved to them with her other hand.
"Yo ho, you're finally here."
Standing to the side, Yixing watched them with a faint smile on his lips.
Ye Qi and Jiang Yihuan were stunned when they saw this scene.
Seeing that the two were still confused, You Ning simply used her hands to support herself, flipped over and jumped down the third-floor corridor. She landed steadily and ran lightly to Ye Qi and Jiang Yihuan, pulling them forward.
Very evenly distributed.
"Come on over here. Don't worry, we won't hurt you. If you hurt that old hag's apprentice, you'll get a beating when you get home."
Hearing You Ning's mutterings, Ye Qi and Jiang Yihuan decided to hold back and let You Ning pull them to sit down on the sofa.
You Ning shouted at the furniture, "Turn the air conditioner to 25 degrees."
She had previously set the temperature to 18 degrees Celsius, but now that guests are visiting, she can't let them feel cold.
Immediately afterwards, an electronic serving robot came over carrying juice, coffee, milk tea, plain water, tea, and lemonade.
"Is there anything you'd like to drink?" You Ning asked them.
Ye Qi chose fruit juice, while Jiang Yihuan chose lemonade.
Young Lemon chose the juice.
After the food-serving robot left, You Ning's playful expression vanished, and she asked seriously, "You're here to see Ye Xinchu and Jiang Li, right?"
Upon hearing You Ning get to the point, they immediately exchanged serious glances.
Ye Qi solemnly nodded.
Yi Xing, who had just walked over, took a cup of tea from the robot and sat down next to You Ning, saying on her behalf, "The person you're looking for isn't here right now."
Ye Qi and Jiang Yihuan were not surprised to hear this.
It could even be said that it was expected.
The moment they entered the villa and saw You Ning and Yi Xing, they vaguely sensed that their master might not be there.
You Ning chuckled, "Shall I introduce myself first? Come to think of it, we haven't really gotten to know each other properly yet."
"My name is You Ning. I am your master, Ye Xinchu's younger sister, her own sister."
They were slightly shocked by You Ning's surprising words.
I've never heard of my master having any relatives.
Could she be Master's sister in this world?
You Ning knew what they were thinking, and slowly explained, "I've been in poor health since I was little. My sister and I lost our parents in an accident, and my grandmother raised me. My sister asked my grandmother to take care of me while she went out to gain experience on her own. She rarely went back to my grandmother's house, so we didn't have many opportunities to meet."
"As for my sister and me, we were never reborn."
"Your rebirth and Huanhuan's rebirth were indeed intentionally orchestrated by the two older sisters."
Hearing You Ning's explanation, Ye Qi and Jiang Yihuan were deeply shocked.
Yi Xing then took over the conversation: "I am Jiang Li's younger brother. I used to help take care of You Ning at her home. Although we never had a chance to meet, we always knew of your existence."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qi's CPU almost overheated.
They had no idea that their master had younger siblings, nor did they know that he knew about them all along.
Seeing Ye Qi's increasingly confused expression, You Ning patiently comforted her: "Don't worry, we'll explain everything clearly. Don't overthink it."
Hearing You Ning's assurance, Jiang Yihuan nodded to signal them to continue, then took Ye Qi's hand, giving her silent encouragement.
The anxiety that had just surfaced in Ye Qi's heart was instantly calmed by Jiang Yihuan's silent reassurance.
With Jiang Yihuan by her side, she felt incredibly confident.
Just as Ye Qi knew she was Jiang Yihuan's source of confidence, she couldn't afford to lose heart and scare Jiang Yihuan!
Seeing that Ye Qi had calmed down, You Ning continued, "Sister, you must have some clues about your wrongful death, right?"
You Ning's gaze fell on Ye Qi.
Jiang Yihuan understood the meaning behind You Ning's words, and her heart was filled with horror. The unease she had been trying so hard to suppress was now like a wave breaking through the barrier, recklessly devouring her reason.
Her gaze suddenly shifted to Ye Qi, trying to glean some information from Ye Qi's face.
But now that their roles have been reversed, Ye Qi is as calm as still water.
She stood firm on her principles: "I know, but I won't say."
Jiang Yihuan almost couldn't help but vent her emotions when she heard Ye Qi's almost heartless tone.
She desperately restrained herself from acting impulsively.
You Ning sighed, "I knew it. When it comes to being stubborn, Sister Qi Qi, you're more serious than anyone else."
"But if you're unwilling to say the reason, then nothing can be explained further."
You Ning gave the choice to Ye Qi.
You Ning's words plunged Ye Qi into a dilemma. Her heart was torn between the two opposing forces of insistence and compromise, like two willful children tearing at a relatively tough and soft piece of fabric that was not easily torn.
But fabric is still just fabric.
Even if she wanted to delay any longer, reality would not allow it.
She originally intended to never tell Jiang Yihuan.
But now she is forced to sit on the fire stand, feeling anxious and distressed.
As a sufficiently objective observer, Yi Xing's words shattered the "jar" that had sealed Ye Qi away.
"You should trust her, instead of letting her remain passively trapped in your protection."
Hearing this, Ye Qi was deeply moved.
It seems to be a double entendre.
Jiang Yihuan's restless heart calmed down immediately. She began to think about whether the plan she had made behind Ye Qi's back truly respected Ye Qi.
Ye Qi took a deep breath, her wavering heart finally settling down: "Alright, I'll tell you."
Hearing this, You Ning breathed a slight sigh of relief.
This means that Ye Qi has truly moved on.
Ye Qi told the truth: "Back in Master's hometown, in Tianyu, my idol only took me with him to save me, so it's normal that Huanhuan doesn't know."
Jiang Yihuan was very clever, and after a moment's thought, she quickly understood the reason: "Did she say something to you?"
“Hmm.” Ye Qi was lost in memories. “She told me that Huanhuan was destined to die and wouldn’t live much longer.”
You Ning and Yi Xing seemed to have known this all along, and were unmoved by Ye Qi's words.
But to Jiang Yihuan, it sounded different; she seemed to be able to vaguely understand something.
She began to fear hearing the answer, yet she couldn't wait to use it to confirm the "answer" she had just imagined.
"There are only two solutions: one, Huanhuan can only live to be eighteen years old."
Second, I can only live to be eighteen.
Upon hearing those words, Jiang Yihuan's head immediately went blank, the intense buzzing stimulating her mind. She couldn't hear Ye Qi's next words, and her dazed gaze made her unable to perceive her surroundings.
It was as if all the accumulated beliefs collapsed at this moment.
Jiang Yihuan tried to breathe deeply, but her breathing became erratic, and she didn't know how to force herself to calm down.
