Zhou Quan: ......
So, that little girl is Li Mai?!
Zhou Quan held the book and read that part of the story several times. Judging from the timeline, the old scientist's story took place more than a hundred years ago.
In other words, he went into a deep sleep shortly after that incident, and the years he spent as Li Mai's teacher were a few years after he awoke from his century-long slumber.
So, I had seen Li Mai a hundred years ago?
But doesn't Li Mai remember that she is someone who slept for a hundred years and then woke up? She doesn't seem to have said that.
Zhou Quan couldn't sleep all night, his mind wandering to all sorts of things from his memories.
The next day, when Li Mai woke up, she found that Zhou Quan had not yet gotten up and was lying down with her in his arms.
She glanced at him. "Didn't you sleep well last night? You look like you stayed up all night."
Zhou Quan nodded. "Yeah, I wasn't asleep. I saw your story."
Li Mai raised an eyebrow, picked up the book, and saw that he had already read about the era in which they lived.
I'm almost done watching it.
"You watched it all night?" Li Mai was speechless.
“Hmm, Wheat, so you are actually that little girl from a hundred years ago?” Li Mai asked.
“Yes, but few people in that world knew my identity except for the old professor who released me. After the old professor passed away, no one knew anymore,” Li Mai said.
“There are many orphans in that world, and most of them don’t have parents, so my identity is normal and no one will doubt it,” Li Mai smiled.
"Do you remember who was locked in that big iron cage?" Zhou Quan asked softly.
Li Mai shook her head. "I remember it wasn't a person. I saw a monster, but my grandfather said it was a superhuman."
Zhou Quan was stunned.
Because he cannot see his own form in his memory; he only remembers those things from his own perspective.
The book describes a superhuman with pure beast blood, but it doesn't describe the superhuman's form. Instead, it focuses on how the disaster was caused by the scientists capturing that superhuman.
But Zhou Quan felt that he should have looked like a human in the eyes of those people at the time, so why did he look like a monster in Li Mai's eyes?
"Didn't you tell your grandfather what it looked like?" Zhou Quan asked.
“I didn’t say. I know that my grandfather and the others saw normal people, but I didn’t see them. In the past, I could see many things that others couldn’t, so I’m no longer surprised that what I see is different from what they see.”
"However, when I woke up after a hundred years of slumber, that ability disappeared. What I gained was a personal space and the loss of my last relative. After reading the information, I learned that it was my grandfather who saved me."
Li Mai sighed softly.
Zhou Quan looked at her silently, unsure whether he should tell her that the monster she saw might be him.
After his death, he stayed by her side and has now been reborn as a human.
"Do you still remember what that monster looked like?" Zhou Quan asked tentatively.
Li Mai shook her head. "I don't remember. It's all very blurry now."
After Li Mai finished speaking, she tried hard to recall.
After all, it was a memory from her childhood a hundred years ago. As she grew up and saw many mutated monsters, she no longer felt that the memory from that time was important.
Zhou Quan's lips moved, but he still didn't have the courage to tell her about it, because even he himself didn't know what he looked like at that time.
Moreover, his oldest memories are probably of walking alone in the world, falling asleep, waking up and walking alone again, fighting with people, and killing mutated beasts, etc.
So, before Li Mai said those words, Zhou Quan had always believed that he was a human in his past life. But now, he was certain that he really wasn't human in his past life.
"Wait, I remember something. When that monster broke through the big iron cage, it breathed fire. Its fire could burn down the big iron cage that had been trapping it."
“Logically speaking, my grandfather is a water-type ability user. His water-type ability can control fire-type monsters. Oh, right, it seems that at crucial moments, that monster can also spit out water. It seems to be a water-type ability monster as well?” After muttering to herself, Li Mai’s eyes gradually fell on the book.
Zhou Quan's heart skipped a beat; he couldn't recall ever using water magic...
Wait, there seems to be one!
He is a dual-elemental user of water and fire!
Li Mai's fingers turned the pages of the book, stopping at the end of the prologue: Jiu Ying and Luo Sheng's child was named Luo Ying.
Jiuying is a divine beast with both water and fire elements, and Luo is a minor god of water. Their child must also be a creature with both water and fire elements.
Li Mai stared blankly at the name Luo Ying and fell into silence.
Zhou Quan quietly reached out and put his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him.
"Xiaomai!" Zhou Quan leaned closer and gently kissed her neck. "What are you thinking about?"
Just now, something seemed to be clearing up in Li Mai's mind, but as he kissed her like that, the images that were gathering in her mind suddenly dissipated.
Sensing what he wanted to do, Li Mai wrapped her arms around his neck in response.
An hour later, when the couple finished washing up and came out of the courtyard, the steward of the mansion was busy directing everyone to do their work.
The noise could be heard from the west courtyard as well; Yun Chang must be getting busy.
"Madam, young master, would you like breakfast now?" the butler asked after giving his instructions.
"Yes, have they all eaten? Did my older brother and the others come over and eat?" Li Mai asked.
"After eating, Young Master Yun, Young Master Chu, and Young Master Zhong went to get busy. The two young masters have already taken Miss Tao to the shop," the steward said respectfully.
Although Yun Chang arrived, neither he nor the butler revealed their relationship. Yun Chang told him to follow Li Mai from now on!
"Oh, okay!" Li Mai replied shyly and went to the west courtyard to eat with Zhou Quan.
"Dad, Mom!" As soon as they entered the west courtyard, Zhuzhu ran over happily.
She was over there watching a group of people build new stables for them.
"Zhuzhu, have you had breakfast?" Li Mai asked.
"I've eaten, Mom! You all go and eat! We're having steamed dumplings today, they're delicious!" Zhuzhu said happily.
The little girl is four years old this year. She has grown up a lot and speaks more fluently.
At this moment, she was still holding her little beauty, Qilin, in her arms.
Zhou Quan glanced at the Qilin indifferently.
When their eyes met, Qilin shuddered, turned around in Zhuzhu's arms, and turned its rear end towards Zhou Quan.
