Chapter 82 When you wake up, who are you?
Jiang Yuchuan had his doubts, such as how He Ji, who had disappeared, had reappeared here.
Seeing that his younger sister's worried expression seemed to have eased a little, Jiang Yuchuan stopped trying to find out. He figured he would find out eventually.
"Then let's go back first." Jiang Yuchuan raised his hand and patted his sister's head.
"Okay, okay, don't keep Mom and Dad waiting."
The brother and sister returned to the thatched hut together.
Despite their reluctance, Jiang's parents understood that now was not the right time for the family to truly reunite. After saying a few words of advice, they saw their daughter off together with Jiang Yuchuan.
The unremarkable little paper figure kept flashing in Jiang Yuzhi's hand, and she returned to Bai Yan's bedside.
Bai Yan remained lying peacefully in bed, as if he were simply asleep.
Jiang Yuzhi sat down by the bed and gazed at him for a long time.
The eavesdropper at the door seemed to sense something and knocked on the door, saying, "Zhizhi?"
"It's nothing!" Jiang Yuzhi called out in response.
Di Ting sensed that for a moment the atmosphere in the room disappeared completely, but it quickly returned to normal.
Jiang Yuzhi's voice sounded normal, which reassured Diting a lot.
The unfinished fabric on the loom was waiting for Jiang Yu to continue weaving.
The sun and moon alternate.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
During this time, Diting and Chichi stayed outside the door without leaving for a moment.
Sun Chengjian, who had already entered the imperial court, came again after much deliberation.
Unfortunately, the entire Jiang residence was practically deserted.
There was a knock on the door.
Hearing the sound, Di Ting activated the paper figure Jiang Yuzhi had left for it, which transformed into the appearance of a servant and poked its head out from behind the door.
"Miss is away and her return date is uncertain."
Thank you for letting me know.
Sun Chenghuan bowed to his servants, then turned and left.
On the way back, however, I kept feeling that something strange had happened.
Last time I came here, I don't know why I fainted at the entrance of the Jiang residence, and was taken back home by a kind person.
Later, Eunuch Xu came and took one of his maids away, but he couldn't remember the reason he gave.
Sun Chengjian shook his head vigorously, trying to remember something.
Xiao Ji handled the aftermath well, so Sun Chengjian naturally wouldn't notice anything amiss.
Luo Yundou, who was possessed by Zhao Qingyun, and Sun Chengjian, who was being manipulated, had no memory of what happened when they were being controlled.
Luo Yundou is currently imprisoned in the palace and under strict guard.
As time passed, Xiao Yao and Bai Wulan returned.
Unable to deceive his sister and brother-in-law, Xiao Ji had to say that Jiang Yuzhi was treating Bai Yan's illness and that it was not appropriate to disturb them.
Who knows, once I get out, I might never be in danger again.
Xiao Yao was overjoyed, but at the same time, she couldn't help but worry.
The couple often took advantage of the darkness to sit quietly at the moon gates of the Bai and Jiang residences for a while before casually going to rest in the nearest courtyard.
The children from the orphanage and Zhong Yuxiu had visited several times, but they were all sent away by the paper figures sent by Di Ting to guard the gate.
Another half month has passed.
The wind direction in the courtyard has changed.
Di Ting slowly stood up and shook off the dust that covered his body.
I don't know how long Chichi had been sleeping against the wall, but a glistening spider web, glistening with dew, had formed on its white wool.
Di Ting swatted away the spider web with one claw, finally remembering that it disliked the dust on its body, and cast the Dust Cleansing Spell several times.
Two refreshed little animals stood clean and tidy at the door.
"It looks like Zhizhi is about to succeed."
"Meow~"
As soon as the barrier was set up to conceal the danger, the room was immediately filled with a brilliant golden light.
Beams of golden light streamed through the cracks in the doors and windows and out of the house.
In less than three breaths, the light dissipated.
Di Ting felt that the surrounding air had become fresher. The pervasive gloom and oppressive feeling seemed to have been dispelled.
The shimmering fabric had just been removed by Jiang Yuzhi, and the loom and spinning wheel had returned to their dusty, rustic appearance, shrunk to a size that could fit in a bag.
The tension in her heart suddenly eased, and Jiang Yuzhi almost collapsed by the bedside.
A warm hand supported her arm.
Jiang Yuzhi turned around subconsciously.
Bai Yan woke up in bed.
"Who are you?"
The wariness and bewilderment on her face were expressions completely unfamiliar to Jiang Yuzhi.
...
Their eyes met, and they remained silent.
The map of the land and grain they held merged into the bodies of the human and the ghost the moment they made contact.
Jiang Yuzhi straightened up, and her arm naturally slipped out of Bai Yan's palm.
For a moment, she didn't know how to explain their relationship to him.
"If I told you that we are about to get engaged... would you believe me?" Jiang Yuzhi tentatively revealed the truth.
The other person just stared at her without saying a word for a long time.
Just as Jiang Yuzhi was at a loss and about to call Di Ting in, Bai Yan spoke up.
"letter."
“You…” Jiang Yuzhi’s eyes widened involuntarily, and she was speechless.
Diting keenly sensed the change inside the house and stopped waiting foolishly outside the door. It raised its paw and knocked on the door.
"Zhizhi, how are you? Can you come in?"
“Okay,” Jiang Yuzhi replied loudly.
A large, white dog with glossy fur, head held high, and a majestic air led a fluffy little lamb into the room.
"Is it over?" Di Ting asked naturally.
Chi Chi hadn't seen the two of them for a long time, so she shuffled over to the middle, nuzzling Jiang Yuzhi and then Bai Yan.
Jiang Yuzhi: "Mm."
Bai Yan: "This dog...can speak human language?"
Upon hearing this, both Chichi, who was being rubbed against, and Diting, who had just relaxed, froze.
Di Ting: "...What's wrong with him?"
Jiang Yuzhi said helplessly, "Perhaps she hasn't fully recovered yet. She'll remember everything in time."
Di Ting: "Forget it, forget it. Do you even remember who your parents are?"
Xiao Yao and Bai Wulan had been waiting at the Moon Gate for too long, and even Di Ting was afraid that Bai Yan's actions would frighten the couple.
Bai Yan wasn't stupid; he could tell from their conversation that he had a close relationship with the people and animals present, but he just couldn't remember it at all.
"nature."
Di Ting: "That's good. They're still waiting for you. Let's go, let's go. Zhi Zhi, let's go together."
Jiang Yuzhi hadn't seen Xiao Yao for a long time either, "Okay."
There wasn't a single servant in the mansion, and the roadside was extremely quiet. The roadside was filled with flowers and plants that Bai Yan had never seen before, yet were inexplicably familiar with.
The combination of a woman, a talking dog, and a sheep is really strange.
Bai Yan was filled with doubts, but he kept quiet and waited until his parents came to investigate.
After passing through the moon gate, Bai Yan finally saw the familiar Bai residence.
Xiao Yao and Bai Wulan were looking at their respective official documents at a table that had been temporarily set up.
At the slightest sound by the door, the couple looked up.
The son, who usually walked with unsteady steps and looked pale during interviews, now stood before them like a normal person.
“Mingze?” Xiao Yao put down the official documents and slowly stood up.
Bai Wulan followed closely behind his wife, afraid that she might fall due to her excitement.
"Mother, it's me." Bai Yan didn't quite understand why his mother acted as if she hadn't seen him in a long time.
Xiao Yao took a few big steps forward and hugged Jiang Yuzhi, who was half a step behind Bai Yan, tightly. "Little Zhi, I have no way to repay your kindness. If this kid treats you badly in the future, just tell me and I will take care of him for you."
The eldest princess rarely shed tears; she wiped away the tears welling in her eyes with the back of her hand.
Bai Yan was bewildered; extending her outstretched arm was awkward, as was retracting it.
Fortunately, Bai Wulan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Now that you're better, it's time for you to officially take over."
"..." Bai Yan then focused his attention on himself.
brisk.
So this is what it's like to be a normal person?
His gaze unconsciously drifted to the unknown woman beside him.
The name contains the character "织" (zhi), which sounds nice.
It's his fiancée, whom he hasn't even engaged yet. No way.
Although Bai Yan couldn't remember when such a fiancée appeared in his more than twenty years of life, he accepted her at this moment.
They even wondered why it hadn't been booked yet.
Before he could think it through, his fiancée's calm voice rang out, "Auntie, it's what I should do. But he doesn't remember me now, so I'm afraid we can't rush things."
"Don't you remember?" Xiao Yao released Jiang Yuzhi, placed her hands on her shoulders, and looked into her eyes.
The fleeting sadness within did not escape Xiao Yao's keen perception.
“Mother, although I have lost my memory, I still hope to marry… Xiaozhi.” Bai Yan didn’t have time to sort out her thoughts and instinctively took over the conversation.
The familiar address sounded completely different coming from Bai Yan's mouth.
Jiang Yuzhi understood that he probably had completely forgotten his own name and would only call him by other people's names.
I can't help but sigh. I knew I would forget, but I never imagined I would forget so completely.
She probably doesn't remember anything related to her.
Xiao Yao gave Bai Yan an approving look, "It's alright, it's alright. You two will remember each other after spending more time together. Let's have dinner at the Bai residence tonight, and let your aunt treat you well."
...
It was still early, so Bai Yan left with Xiao Yao first, promising to meet again that evening.
Actually, he wanted to find out more about Xiaozhi from his parents, and Ah Zhao, who was by his side, should know quite a bit about her.
Jiang Yuzhi had just returned to the Jiang residence when Xiao Ji came knocking on her door.
He strode in, asking, "Well, where's the Map of the State?"
The air in Kyoto was refreshingly clean and invigorating.
It's really hard not to notice that something good has happened.
"It's finished." Jiang Yuzhi pulled up a chair and sat down, fiddling with the little paper figure she had brought from the drawing, her spirits low.
What does "consider" mean?
Xiao Ji, without any hesitation, poured himself a cup of tea and sat down.
"It's been repaired, but the person can't remember it."
"What kind of talk is that?"
Di Ting lay at Jiang Yuzhi's feet, rolled its eyes, and said, "Can't you understand this? That kid has completely forgotten about our Zhizhi."
"...Could it be that the Map of the State is too new?" After all, Bai Yan now appears to be the original Map of the State, a new Map of the State, a new mind. Xiao Ji made this connection very smoothly.
"Perhaps."
Comforting people was not Xiao Ji's forte; he was more adept at using force to extract confessions and punish evil spirits.
Jiang Yuzhi didn't want to say more; everything could only be left to time. "Lu Pan, go back to the palace. I guess Bai Yan will come to the palace to find you soon."
Bai Yan did not choose to confront her directly about their relationship; otherwise, he would have inquired from various sources.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Jiang Yuzhi's words, but he had only just woken up and didn't want to ask a woman he had just met too many potentially offensive questions.
Jiang Yuzhi wasn't quite sure what Bai Yan was thinking, but she trusted him and had a certain understanding of his behavior.
"Don't overthink it. Why don't you go back to the underworld and ask the Great Emperor?"
"I will."
Xiao Ji left with good news.
Jiang Yuzhi led Diting and Chichi back to the underworld.
However, in order to share the good news with everyone in the underworld, he wanted to stay there for a few more days after dinner.
After all, she had already completed her biggest mission in coming to the human world.
