189 Return to the Human World
◎She is very strong!◎
Ye Zhiyan said, "Mom, it's late. My sister is very tired after traveling all day. Let her rest first."
Yu Jingyao saw Ye Zhizhi's gaze and said hurriedly, "Yes, the environment here at home is better. I was just overthinking it. I only thought that the other place at home is more lively and Zhizhi might like it more."
"Sister, you can stay in every house. Wherever you want to live, we can live there." Ye Zhiyan looked at Ye Zhizhi and asked gently, "Is that okay?"
Ye Zhizhi blinked, feeling that their explanation was a bit far-fetched, but still nodded in agreement.
Yu Jingyao and his group first personally escorted Lin Duoyu to the guest room.
There are no guest rooms in the main house. Ye Zhiyan and Ye Lang live on each side of the second floor. The first floor is composed of various functional rooms. The servants live in the secondary house next door. There is also a building specially for guests to stay. In order to prevent Lin Duoyu from being afraid of living alone, two young female maids were specially arranged to take care of him.
Ye Zhizhi asked Lin Duoyu to have a good rest and go play with her tomorrow. After making sure that she was okay being alone, he would go back to the main house.
The entire third floor of the main house belongs to Ye Zhizhi.
This was planned before Ye Zhizhi was born. Once she becomes independent, the third floor will be hers exclusively.
Even after she passed away, Ye Lang still followed his original plan and converted the third floor into a little princess room for his daughter, complete with a dressing room, jewelry storage, shoe and bag storage, a study, a multi-purpose room, a leisure area, and even a fully glassed-in balcony...
Ye Lang didn't know what color his daughter liked, so he thought that she was the little princess of their Ye family, and the little princess liked pink the most, so he dressed her in pink as the main color.
This was designed by Ye Lang himself, and now it has become his home turf. He was delighted with the soft and gentle explanation, and at the end he emphasized that if there was anything he didn't like, they would change it.
Ye Zhizhi was surprised to see the pink and tender colors everywhere. It looked like a fairy tale. She was used to staying in a gray nest and didn't particularly like colors. Moreover, in the jungle, the more beautiful the color of something, the more poisonous it was.
The entire third floor was spacious, not making Ye Zhizhi feel cramped. Her princess bed looked spacious enough to accommodate two adult wolves. However, the incense burned in the air, and the air felt stale.
Seeing that Ye Zhizhi was not used to the fragrance, Ye Zhiyan extinguished the incense.
They took Ye Zhizhi on a tour of the entire third floor, explaining everything in detail. After confirming that Ye Zhizhi could arrange herself, they reluctantly said, "Have a good rest."
Although the third floor was replenished with the latest season's clothes and other items in a timely manner, it was done in such a hurry that it still looked very empty. They were so happy that they had nowhere to put their joy and were already planning what to bring back for Ye Zhizhi.
The three of them went downstairs reluctantly, looking up from time to time, and their excited mood slowly calmed down.
They did not feel sleepy. Even Yu Jingyao, who had experienced mental stimulation, was still full of energy and spirit.
They entered the study on the second floor, and as soon as the door closed, Yu Jingyao and Ye Zhiyan's faces suddenly darkened.
Ye Zhiyan stared at Ye Lang dimly and asked, "Father, why didn't you tell Mother and me right away so we could go and get her back in person?"
Ye Zhiyan felt very resentful about this. If his father had told him more news earlier instead of just saying one sentence without any context and then saying he couldn't be contacted, he wouldn't have caused such misunderstandings. He was also very upset about not being able to appear in front of his sister the first time.
Yu Jingyao's face also turned cold. When she found her daughter, she didn't go to her immediately. Would her daughter think that she didn't like her? Moreover, she saw her daughter without any psychological preparation. Would she scare her daughter by losing control of her emotions?
If she had been prepared in advance, she would definitely not lose her composure in front of her daughter. The moment she saw her daughter, she would only be filled with joy. Even if she shed tears, they would be tears of joy, instead of making her daughter cry with worry like now.
Ye Lang felt very aggrieved. He was worried that Jing Yao would lose control of her emotions, so he called Ye Zhiyan back and asked him to stay with Jing Yao and comfort her. Who knew that he would cause a misunderstanding?
But what could Ye Lang say? He was the lowest class in this family.
Ye Lang put on a flattering smile and took out a neatly folded report from his pocket, "Jingyao, this is our daughter."
Yu Jingyao only took a glance. She knew it was her daughter without reading the report. She was sure of it the first time she saw her.
"What's going on with Zhizhi?" Yu Jingyao is not a weak and brainless person. After she calmed down, she would also think about Ye Lang's intentions.
Ye Lang became serious, frowning, "Zhizhi, she must have lived in Mist Forest all along." When Ye Lang said this, he carefully looked at Yu Jingyao's face. Seeing that she showed no signs of surprise, it was obvious that he already had some guesses in his mind.
He recounted the events of the past few days in detail, then said solemnly, "This all happened too quickly and too hastily. I didn't have time to find out anything, and there was nothing I could do."
These days, the Ye family was in chaos and they were almost being pushed around. For the sake of his daughter, Ye Lang dared not make any moves, for fear of causing trouble to his daughter who had finally returned.
Ye Lang learned everything about his daughter from Lin Duoyu and Qin Fei. He only knew that before meeting them, his daughter lived alone with animals, and perhaps had come into contact with other people before that, but they didn't know her past experiences.
Ye Zhiyan's expression also grew serious. "It seems that the official level is currently friendly to my sister."
Ye Lang nodded, "But we can't take it lightly." This secret must remain a secret forever.
How could they not see the abnormality in Ye Zhizhi? He couldn't use chopsticks, couldn't even speak clearly, and when he was anxious he howled like a wolf. They saw it with their own eyes and felt pain in their hearts, but they didn't show any abnormality, as if everything was normal.
Compared to others, whose credibility was greatly reduced because Ye Zhizhi did not behave like the wolf boy they knew, Ye Lang believed it without a doubt. He almost followed closely behind, but was always one step late. He was extremely sure that Zhizhi was indeed taken into the jungle.
He hired so many people to search everywhere. If an outsider happened to appear and save Zhizhi, they would not be able to miss him. Moreover, with such a big commotion, the other party would not be unaware of it. Even for a generous reward, he would send his daughter back.
Therefore, he believed that only by being sheltered by the animals in the jungle could she survive there.
Ye Zhiyan said firmly: "I will protect my sister."
Ye Lang gave them the identity information that the authorities had helped to complete, and asked them to memorize it. From then on, this would be Zhizhi's real life experience.
Of course, they will not publicize it deliberately, but will only reveal some information half-heartedly. They just want their daughter to be safe and sound and to be honest.
Before that, they need to go all out to guide her to integrate into human society and learn common sense of life.
…
There was a long-lost quietness around Ye Zhizhi.
The room was very soundproof, and Ye Zhizhi could actually vaguely detect some movement, but she was now training herself to restrain her five senses, so she tried to block out the surrounding movement and focus on what was in front of her.
Ye Zhizhi put the package she had been holding on the soft chair. There was no emotion on her face. She took a hot bath with a serious face, and then came out with wet and messy hair.
She wiped her hair roughly, walked to the window and looked out from above.
Ye Zhizhi's room has large windows and offers a wide view.
She was very happy to see her family and finally return to the human society she had longed for, but she found that she was not as happy as she had imagined.
The night breeze was blowing gently and the air didn't smell pleasant.
Being in the beautiful princess nest, she missed her nest in the cave.
She kept her eyes open and watched her hair being blow-dried, then she lay down on the soft big bed. As soon as she lay down, she felt like she was trapped in a cloud, so soft that it made her feel insecure, as if she had nowhere to land.
The beds in the base were hard but a little soft, which made her feel uncomfortable. Now this kind of bed made her even more uncomfortable. Finally, she turned over and sat up, picked up the package, walked to the window, opened the half-open window, and nimbly flipped out of the window.
The height of the third floor was like flat ground to her.
The Ye family's mansion was located halfway up the mountain, covering a vast area. There was a lot of greenery in the manor. She simply avoided the patrolling security and soon found a tree.
She patted the tree trunk and said with reluctant satisfaction, "It's you."
She quickly climbed up the tree and lay down on the chosen branch. The inexplicable irritability she felt gradually subsided.
The branch was not thick, and even her back could not lie down completely, with both sides hanging in the air. Ye Zhizhi did not mind. She put the package behind her head as a pillow, and could still smell the faint scent of wolf and snake in her nostrils.
She looked at the starry sky between the branches and felt that it was still not as beautiful as in the forest.
The bright starry sky in the eyes of ordinary people, compared with the night sky in the forest, seems to be covered with dust and much dimmer.
Ever since leaving the jungle, Ye Zhizhi couldn't help but think of the jungle whenever he calmed down. Even if he felt something, he would unconsciously make comparisons.
At this time, the jungle has entered the rainy season. The wolves and their friends are all staying in their dens. Should there be enough food? Now that the territory is so secluded, there is no need to worry about being attacked.
Ye Zhizhi pondered over and over again, realizing that the wolf pack was very powerful. Predators of the same size could not defeat them, and giant predators larger than them could not enter the canyon. So they could safely survive the rainy season and winter.
The naughty little wolf cubs will not be trapped in the cave forever. The forests outside the canyons and cracks are their back garden for fun...
Ye Zhizhi looked at the night sky among the branches and leaves, and his mind had already wandered back to the jungle.
She also thought of Xiaohua, a snake that didn't like being alone. She was thinking of finding some similar friends for Huahua, but after wandering in the mountains and forests together for so many years, they had encountered snakes other than Da Mo, but some of them were either weaker, which Xiaohua disliked, or too strong and eccentric.
Xiaohua was such a lonely snake. At this time, she was actually glad that she still had Damo the snake. Damo would occasionally come to find Xiaohua.
And Big Bear...
Ye Zhizhi looked at the starry sky and squinted her eyes unconsciously. She thought, she would just take a nap for a while and go back before dawn.
At dawn, she was awakened by a shout.
The moment Ye Zhizhi opened his eyes, he climbed down the tree with the package in his hand and ran back quickly, almost becoming a shadow.
At this time, the main gate of the main house was open. Ye Zhizhi did not climb up to the third floor from the outside, but rushed in directly.
On the way, she saw many security personnel wearing the same uniform and with surprised expressions on their faces. At this moment, she didn't care about anything else and rushed upstairs like a gust of wind, and then bumped into Yu Jingyao who was the first to stagger down from the third floor.
When Yu Jingyao saw Ye Zhizhi suddenly appear in front of her, she rushed forward and hugged him.
Ye Zhizhi was embraced in a soft embrace, and her body was still shaking uncontrollably as he held her tightly.
"Baby, next time you go out, tell your mommy, okay?"
With her daughter finally back, Yu Jingyao naturally stayed as well, living in the bedroom on the second floor. Ye Lang moved to the study. She hadn't slept well that night, and it felt unreal, as if she were dreaming. When she woke up in the morning before daybreak, she couldn't help herself and decided to go check and make sure her daughter was back...
Ye Zhizhi's bedroom was not locked, and Yu Jingyao didn't knock on the door for fear of waking her up. She wanted to take a quick look, but the bed was empty, which immediately shocked Yu Jingyao.
Fortunately, Ye Zhizhi ran back as soon as he heard the noise, and it took less than a minute.
Ye Zhizhi was stunned. She looked over her shoulder and saw that Ye's father and little brother also ran over. They were no longer calm, and there was still panic in their eyes.
Ye Zhiyan didn't even wear shoes, and his body was tilted by sleepiness. It was obvious that he ran out of the room and rushed to the third floor as soon as he heard the noise.
Ye Zhizhi felt guilty. Did she cause them trouble?
Seeing his daughter's uneasy face, Ye Zhiyan said softly: "Zhizhi, we don't mean to blame you. We just hope that when you go somewhere, you will tell us. We are just afraid of losing you again."
Ye Zhizhi nodded and rubbed Yu's mother's cold cheek.
Sorry, I'll tell you next time.
It was just after five o'clock and it was still early. Yu Jingyao's emotions had been fluctuating greatly, and she had not rested well at night. Seeing that she looked unhappy, Ye Zhizhi took the initiative to invite her to take a nap on the third floor.
Yu Jingyao's eyes immediately lit up.
Ye Zhizhi did not reject Yu Mama. Although her aura was different from that of Wolf Mama and her body was still very fragile, the smell also made her feel at ease.
It was a rare opportunity for Yu Jingyao to sleep with her daughter, and she was very excited. She reached out and held Ye Zhizhi's hand, feeling more at ease, and then closed her eyes.
Ye Zhizhi lay straight and motionless. After he felt Yu Mama's breath was long and she fell into a deep sleep, he turned his head and looked carefully at Yu Mama's eyebrows and eyes. Now that he looked so carefully, he found that there were fine lines on Yu Mama's face.
She felt that she hadn't grown up yet, but her human parents already showed signs of aging.
Ye Zhizhi felt very uncomfortable. She pressed her chest and thought, is this a blood relationship?
When Ye Zhizhi and Yu Jingyao went back to their room to rest, Ye Lang and Ye Zhiyan were no longer sleepy, but went to check the surveillance video. They didn't dare to ask, but still wanted to know about Ye Zhizhi.
There are cameras in the public areas of the house. The security personnel outside did not notice Ye Zhizhi coming out, so they could only check the video surveillance. She could hear the movement.
After seeing her appear in the green woods outside, climb up a tree and lie down for a night, the father and son deleted the video and were speechless for a long time.
Ye Zhizhi didn't know that her whereabouts last night were recorded by the surveillance camera. She originally thought that the bed was too soft and light to sleep, but as she listened to Yu's mother's long breathing, she fell asleep unknowingly.
When I woke up, it was almost noon.
As soon as Ye Zhizhi opened his eyes, he met a pair of gentle and loving eyes.
"Baby wake up!"
Ye Zhizhi sat up and grinned at her.
Yu Jingyao also laughed out loud.
The distance between mother and daughter seemed to be closer.
Yu Jingyao went back to the second floor to wash up, and Ye Zhizhi went downstairs after washing up. The living room on the first floor was quite lively. She heard Duoduo's voice and the gentle voice of her little brother.
Ye Zhizhi overheard what was said when she went downstairs and thought to herself, this little brother is amazing. Duoduo is such an introverted person. She doesn't like to talk in front of anyone except her, but now she is being guided by this little brother to speak without making any noise, and all he is talking about is what happened in the jungle.
There were only three people in the huge main house.
Ye Lang and Ye Zhiyan both knew that Ye Zhizhi had very sensitive senses of smell and hearing, and they were afraid of disturbing them, so they didn't let the servants come over. After making breakfast, they asked them to leave, and asked them to prepare lunch in the kitchen of another building.
When the three of them saw Ye Zhizhi, they greeted him in a friendly and natural manner, and there was no excessive reaction afterwards.
Ye Zhizhi felt more comfortable and at ease with this attitude and was happy to say hello.
Ye Zhiyan went to the kitchen to serve breakfast, and Lin Duoyu followed him. The portion served by one person was too small for Ye Zhizhi to eat.
"Have some breakfast first to fill your stomach, and then have lunch later."
Lin Duoyu slept more soundly and was unaware of the incident that happened early in the morning. Now seeing that Ye Zhizhi was in good spirits, he was very happy.
Not long after, Yu Jingyao also came downstairs. She had on delicate makeup and looked like a mature and intellectual beauty.
Ye Zhizhi was very interested in the whole table of breakfast. She hadn't eaten buns or drank milk in so many years, so these foods were particularly new to her.
Ye Lang said with a smile: "The one who came back with us, named Peng Wan, contacted me and said that he has arranged vaccinations and ID card processing for Zhizhi. We can contact him when we are free. It will be convenient in the next two days."
"I thought the official arrangement was much better than us doing it ourselves, so I didn't refuse."
"I've only heard a little about Qin Fei, but I didn't expect that he is so grateful and has tried his best for Zhizhi's matter." If it weren't for Qin Fei and the people behind him, it would not have been so easy for him to bring his daughter back.
After repeated consideration, Ye Lang discovered that Qin Fei and Wu Gufeng's approach was the safest and least risky for Ye Zhizhi. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the Ye and Yu families were, they would probably not be able to protect her all the time. The best way to protect her was to have a clear path at the official level.
Yu Jingyao said, "Then go get checked first. Zhizhi hasn't finished her vaccinations yet, so we need to see which ones can be replenished." There are so many viruses out there, so we need to take more precautions. She doesn't beg for anything, nor does she demand anything from her daughter. She just hopes that her daughter can be healthy and worry-free.
Ye Lang asked, "That's what I meant. Without further ado, Zhizhi, how about we go out this afternoon?"
Ye Zhizhi was shocked when she heard that there was also something about Qin Fei? He hadn't even come out yet, and he was still so worried about helping her with this and that. The thought of going out, with so many people outside and having to take a car, made her feel quite reluctant and hesitant for a moment.
She felt that she didn't need any more vaccinations, she was strong enough!
Ye Zhiyan said gently, "Let's take another car, one without any smell. You can smell it first to see if you can accept it. We will all wear masks then."
"And earplugs. I had someone get a few pairs of the latest and most comfortable ones. Let's try them out one by one."
Seeing that they were fully prepared, Ye Zhizhi nodded hesitantly and said, "Okay."
【Author’s words】
Last night I was lying in bed typing and fell asleep while typing. When I woke up in the morning, a sudden flash of inspiration came to me. I probably knew why the previous writing was not smooth. After thinking about it, I decided not to fix it and continued writing... It was because I had a wrong sleeping posture last night and got a stiff neck. My cervical spine was uncomfortable all day QAQ
