Chapter 130 Ending
"…Are you crying?"
A faint voice pulled Jiang Hengyun back to his dazed thoughts. He turned around abruptly and almost fell off the bed because of the excessive amplitude of the movement. "Li, Li Li?!"
Si Li tilted her head to look at him, her long hair loose and her expression gentle, "Why, you don't recognize me?"
"No, no." Jiang Hengyun leaned over and hugged her tightly. The belated ecstasy overwhelmed him. He held tightly the treasure he had lost and found again, hoping that the next moment would never come.
The first thing Si Li saw when she woke up was that the man had lost a lot of weight, had a scruffy beard and looked haggard, but she didn't say anything. She just hugged Jiang Hengyun back and patted his back gently, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here."
In the data galaxy, countless external information became unimportant and redundant. Only the voice that wandered between pleading and wishing lingered for a long time and accurately reached Si Li's ears as her spirit body dispersed into the data work. It was this endless call that became the anchor outside the data world, leading Si Li to leave the data dimension and return to Daning.
"Did you get scared? It's my fault--" Si Li just opened her mouth when Jiang Hengyun blocked her mouth anxiously and fiercely. The long-awaited lips and teeth touched each other passionately and extremely aggressively, as if he wanted to tear her apart and swallow her into his stomach.
The tingling sensation spread to every part of her body like an electric current. Si Li managed to keep her sanity. "Stop, stop."
Jiang Hengyun pursed his lips and stepped back, his face full of resistance, but he still listened to Si Li's request. The image of a ferocious beast and a wronged puppy overlapped strangely on him at this moment. If he had ears, Si Li believed that he would definitely hang them down to cover his ear holes, saying with practical actions: I don't want to listen!
"Haha." Si Li almost laughed at her own imagination. She took Jiang Hengyun's hand and asked solemnly, "Do you want to come with me? Let's go see the future world, where those who till the land have their own fields, those who live in the house have their own houses, and all those who work have their own income, so that we can see the world as a harmonious place."
Jiang Hengyun looked at her in astonishment, "What?" His bewilderment quickly turned into ecstasy, and the pure joy infected Si Li, making her smile. Jiang Hengyun took Si Li's hand and kissed her fingertips, "I'll go wherever you go." He leaned over and kissed Si Li hard, rubbing her tenderly, and quickly let go, his nose against Si Li's nose, and whispered, "No matter how good that world is, to me, only you are the most precious. Li Li, promise me, don't leave me alone."

"Are you ready?" Si Li glanced at Jiang Hengyun, who was feeling uncomfortable. Jiang Rufei, who was sitting opposite them, sighed and went forward to hug her brother. "Don't worry, I will govern Daning well."
Si Li smiled, her mind moved slightly, and she clicked on the pop-up window that had not been closed.
【Do you choose to return? 】
【yes.】
The prompt in the pop-up window disappeared, and a translucent aperture appeared. The feeling of weightlessness enveloped Si Li. At the last moment, Jiang Hengyun hugged her tightly.
The feeling of lightness in his body suddenly disappeared. Jiang Hengyun opened his eyes. The halo floating beside him disappeared, and the light in front of him became bright. He held Si Li tightly in his arms and stood sideways in front.
In front of him was an overly bright silver-white house. The lines of the instruments were very sharp. Someone met his eyes. Jiang Hengyun looked at her warily, his hand pressing on the soft sword at his waist.
"Detector Division, welcome back." A distant female voice came from somewhere. Jiang Hengyun confirmed that the woman standing in front of him did not speak.
Si Li covered her swollen and aching head and pushed Jiang Hengyun, who was making her feel uncomfortable. Familiar memories came back to her mind.
The liar in the system did not die suddenly. She was indeed a coder, but she was a coder who served the system detection service of the Exploration Bureau. This time, because her colleague who was carrying out the time-travel exploration mission was trapped, there was a problem with the system, and she had to go to repair it, which led to Daning's time-travel journey.
"Detector Si, warning, one verbal attack detected." The distant female voice sounded again, and Si Li rolled her eyes.
The voice of trying not to laugh rang out beside her. The dashing voice that had appeared in the system video only revealed a bit of evil in her nature when it was funny. "Ali, I've been teaching you for so long, and you've only succeeded after you've opened ten world exploration processes. You're really too stupid and don't have any talent for cooking."
This voice was very familiar. Jiang Hengyun froze in his tracks. "Mother?"
Si Li pressed her head and said helplessly, "Food blogger, you're still criticizing me? You've screwed me over." After her memory returned, the filter she had cast on her predecessor Yun Sheng disappeared completely. She finally remembered that the food blogger in her vague memory in Daning was actually her colleague Yun Sheng, who had this nickname because he was so good at cooking.
"Okay, daughter-in-law. Goodbye, daughter-in-law." Yun Sheng's spirit body materialized a light golden shadow under the strong white light. A part of the shadow separated and waved like an arm before floating away easily. "I still have reports and examinations to write, and confinement to close. I'm sorry. Hey, doctor, long time no see!"
Si Li watched Yun Sheng leave with a smile on her face. The female doctor who was waiting for them on the other side smiled helplessly and said, "Welcome back, Ah Li."
Jiang Hengyun stood there in a daze, not coming back to his senses for a long time, until Si Li took his hand, and he could see her face clearly. This face was slightly similar to the one in Daning, the almond-shaped eyes under the slanted eyebrows were particularly gentle, but the dark circles under the eyes showed that he had not been well taken care of. Seeing him in a daze, Si Li blinked and pushed him forward, "Let's go, let's do the check-up. The doctor should have been waiting for a while, and after the check-up, she can process your permanent stay. If you ask her to speed up the process for the sake of our acquaintance, tomorrow happens to be my New Year's Day off, so I can take you to see my grandma."
When Si Li said the word "grandma", her tone softened. The female doctor, who was teasing her intentionally, shook her head and smiled, "Your father was here this morning. Why don't you go see him?"
"Ah~" Si Li's face wrinkled into a ball, "Look at that char siu for what? If the boss gives him the overtime pay this time, I will never forgive him." When she just crossed over, she regretted not calling her father. Now thinking about it, it is better to keep a distance.
Fresh, relaxed, stripped of all pretense.
Jiang Hengyun quickly found a sense of familiarity with Si Li's changed appearance. He curled the corners of his lips, and the strangeness and wariness he had felt when he first arrived disappeared completely.
Jiang Hengyun was guided by the AI assistant to do the examination. The projection of the female doctor disappeared in the sterilization room. Si Li whispered to her through the glass, "So Si Li from Daning was abducted back?"
The doctor nodded and looked at her strangely. "Don't you know everything? Just like this one in your family, we are doing a time travel exploration together. She has done well in training and has just started her first mission. She said she didn't want to use her home leave, so she was given overtime hours instead. So her body is still left to you. After that, you and this one get married and share the home leave."
Si Li, who asked knowingly, touched her nose and said, "I'm not saying that. I'm just being safe."
She turned around to look at Jiang Hengyun, who was staring at the screen cautiously, and smiled softly.
Ferris wheel, movies, hot pot, video games, meeting grandma, playing with cats... She had so many things she wanted to do with him, but she was not in a hurry at all.
Because as long as this person is by your side, you know there is a future to look forward to.

The story I originally wanted to write was about a time traveler who went to ancient times and wanted to return to the modern era. In the end, my expectations were met. The performance of the second book was not as good as the previous ones. After careful reflection and review, I started again, hoping to bring better stories to my dear readers.
Lili and the prince will travel between Daning and the modern world and live their new life. The original owner is alive and the queen has returned to her hometown. This is the best moment.
The girls who have suffered or gone astray have embraced a new life. Empress Zhaode will lead them to open up a new world, while Lili and the prince can only watch these things.
In fact, there are still some ideas that I haven't written, such as Meng Taotao's rough childhood and his eventual rise to become a general and a prime minister, the harem's fight for favor after the princess became an empress (not really), the lucky life of Princess Le'an, Xiao Qi's freedom in the northwest, and the story after Wang Ting and Xiao Que got together. However, there are already enough branch lines in this book, and maybe one day in the future I will write about them specifically.
See you in the next one~
