Ye Xiao calmed down and waited for this last day, not letting Lin Tantan's body out of his sight.
The person who took over the body wanted to take it away as quickly and quietly as possible to avoid any further complications. However, Lin Tantan also had fans, some of whom were powerful people. At their strong request, a memorial service had to be held, so the body was temporarily kept in the hospital.
Ye Xiao spent a day and a night in the morgue. Compared to the experience that the teacher had taken him through the projection, this time in this cold and dark morgue, he felt only peace in his heart.
Then, just as shown in the projection, the government people came, took away the body, and were surrounded by the media as soon as they left the hospital building.
Many people came to the memorial service, including the three members of the Lin family and many others who were crying uncontrollably. Ye Xiao stood in the crowd, his eyes fixed on the body surrounded by flowers, and he looked at his watch every once in a while.
Almost there.
Someone came forward with flowers, and then cried so hard that he couldn't stand up.
Ye Xiao's eyebrows twitched slightly. He recognized that person, or rather, recognized a similar face, Xu Tianjin.
That must be the real Xu Tianjin.
At this moment, he felt something in his heart. At the same moment, time seemed to stand still. Everyone's movements froze in place. All sounds disappeared. Everyone maintained an expression on their face. Some had their mouths half-gripped, some had tears dripping in the air, and some supported each other, trying to keep their feet steady due to grief.
Ye Xiao walked out of the crowd.
He walked forward step by step, bent down and carefully picked up Lin Tantan's body. Although a day had passed, there was no obvious change in her body. Even her joints were still soft and flexible. Except for her pale and cold skin, it was as if she was just asleep.
Ye Xiao picked her up and looked up to see the three members of the Lin family with grief-stricken expressions on their faces. His eyes moved slightly, and the small space where the three of them were seemed to be separated from the surroundings, and time around the three of them began to flow again.
The three of them were shocked to see the man suddenly appear before them. Seeing Lin Tantan in his arms, they were shocked and angry. Lin's father shouted, "Who are you? Let Tantan go!"
He pounced towards Ye Xiao.
But there was an invisible but elastic wall blocking him and pushing him back, which made him even more shocked and angry.
But what Ye Xiao said next made him, his wife and son all freeze.
The tall, handsome, and impressive man in front of me said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, little brother, I am Tan Tan's husband."
The three of them were stunned, looking at Ye Xiao with their red and swollen eyes, unable to believe what they heard.
Ye Xiao continued to explain in a gentle voice, "Tan Tan is not dead. Her soul went to the world where I am. We have been through a lot together, sharing joys and sorrows. We are connected and fell in love with each other, and we became husband and wife. I came here this time to take her body away."
The three people were still stunned, as if they couldn't understand what he said.
It was Mother Lin who reacted first. She also rushed towards Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao saw that she was not trying to snatch the person from him, so he did not stop her. She grabbed Ye Xiao's arm as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw: "You mean, you mean Tan Tan is still alive!"
Lin Tan Tan looked somewhat like his mother, and Ye Xiao had witnessed firsthand how much this family loved her. His eyes became even gentler. "Yes, Tan Tan is still alive and well, but she can't come back. This time I came here, and she asked me to say hello to you, and told you not to worry about her or be too sad."
Mother Lin's lips pursed, tears streaming down her face, but a light shone in her eyes. "Seriously? You're not lying to me? Tan Tan is still alive, she's fine!" She kept muttering, grabbing her husband. "Did you hear that? Did I hear it right? This is all true, right?"
It was not so easy for Mr. Lin to believe it, it was too unbelievable. He was more convinced that this man was sent by some organization to steal his daughter's body, but when he saw the people around him frozen in time, he couldn't imagine that anyone could have such a miraculous method.
Since we have such means, what this young man said is not impossible.
His mind was in a mess: "Who are you? Where is your world? Tell me what your identity is there?"
Before he could finish his question, Lin Xiaodi, who was staring at Ye Xiao, suddenly shouted, "You, you look like Ye Xiao, Mom and Dad, the Ye Xiao that my sister likes!"
After being reminded of this, Lin's parents stared at Ye Xiao and said, "It's really exactly the same. Are you the Ye Xiao from history?"
Ye Xiao: "..." Ye Xiao was silent for a moment, not knowing whether he should respond or not. He said, "I don't have much time left and I have to go. After I leave, an email will be sent to my father-in-law's personal mailbox. It will explain everything. So if you find that Tan Tan is missing later, don't get too excited and hurt your body.
He had prepared that email a long time ago, but it was actually unnecessary. However, he knew that although Tan Tan didn't say much, she was still very concerned about her family in her heart. He also wanted her family to be at ease, so he thought it would be better to tell them the truth so that they would no longer suffer because of Tan Tan.
I would like to say at this point that they should not get too excited. Both parents are a bit old, and it would be bad if one of them gets too excited and something bad happens.
After saying this, he didn't wait for the three to speak again. He closed the gap in space that had been torn apart. The time that enveloped the entire place also covered the three of them. He hugged Lin Tantan's body and looked up: "It's time to go."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot and appeared in a white and foggy space. The calm and cold voice that had not been heard for three hundred years rang out: "Congratulations, you have lived for three hundred years without getting old. Let's go."
For some reason, Ye Xiao felt that this voice seemed more lively than the last time he heard it.
He didn't care, hugged the body in his arms tightly, and tore the space in front of him with a serious look.
After Ye Xiao left, time resumed at the memorial service. The three Lin family members discovered that the man in front of them had disappeared, along with Lin Tantan's body. Mother Lin exclaimed, "Where's the man? He's gone!"
She was asking Ye Xiao, but others heard her asking where Lin Tantan's body was. This was also the question of everyone at the scene. People were shocked and panicked, and for a moment it felt like ten thousand mosquitoes were buzzing.
Dad Lin acted decisively and grabbed his wife and son, asking them not to show anything unusual. Then he was as shocked and angry as everyone else. Mother Lin, who was not good at acting and was anxious to read the email, simply pretended to faint. The father and son pretended to send her to the hospital and escaped from the chaotic memorial service that was immediately surrounded by the government.
The email left by Ye Xiao was very long. He told them about the existence of the parallel world, explained his identity, the time and place when Lin Tantan traveled to the past, and some of the circumstances of their meeting and companionship. He did not tell them that Lin Tantan almost died, but only said that she needed her original body to live long term.
At the end, Ye Xiao solemnly stated that he would treat their daughter well, love and protect her forever, and that Tan Tan would be healthy and live well. He asked them not to worry and not to make anything public. They should just pretend that they knew nothing and just keep it in their hearts.
Attached to it were several scanned photos of Lin Tan Tan. Although he was using Lin Tan Tan's body, the Lin family would not mistake his expression.
The Lin family cried after reading this email. After crying, it was as if a heavy stone had been removed from their hearts. What they saw before their eyes was no longer the dark clouds and the pain of the sky falling, but a clear sky full of blessings and gratitude.
Then they destroyed the email and kept the secret in their hearts, still appearing flawless on the surface. It was just a coincidence that as soon as Mother Lin relaxed, she fell ill. The fatigue accumulated over the years of worrying about her daughter's health broke out. The father and son stayed indoors under the pretext of taking care of her and avoided the turmoil outside.
The government was furious, especially the department waiting to take over the remains. They were furious, anxious, shocked, and angry. Was that a body? That was a huge treasure! But before they could take any action, scandal after scandal broke out online, all about those people Ye Xiao had found who had treated Tan Tan badly.
Those who embezzle and accept bribes, commit crimes, have racial discrimination tendencies, collude with overseas forces, have extramarital affairs, have criminal records, neglect their duties, and disrespect their superiors...
Different people have different evidence of guilt, but all of them point to the real problem. In serious cases, they can be thrown into jail, suspended or fired, and in minor cases, they can be criticized by their neighbors.
Ye Xiao really couldn't do anything, but for three hundred years, the entire society's virtual network was like his own backyard in front of him. As long as there were traces left, there was nothing he couldn't find.
The little girl who bullied him would naturally have to pay the price.
Ye Xiao, who caused all this trouble, has long since left this world.
In a flash, he was already in the original world, in the same place, under the corridor of Lin Yuan Cottage. However, the chair he left behind when he left that year had been moved away, and the British shorthair possessed by Lin Tan Tan was naturally no longer there.
He looked around and saw warm sunshine everywhere. It must be late autumn, with a sunny day and a gentle breeze. The familiar scene made him excited, but there was something different in this familiarity. The grass and trees were more lush, and it seemed that at least two or three years had passed.
Alarms rang out everywhere, and people rushed over: "Who broke into the forest garden?"
Ye Xiao recognized the voice as Xu Li's. He carried the person in his arms into the room, and when he came out he saw Xu Li.
He hadn't seen Xu Li for three hundred years, but his voice and appearance hadn't changed at all. Ye Xiao was filled with emotion and whispered, "Xu Li, long time no see."
Xu Li was very excited. He was sensitive to the fact that something seemed to be different about Ye Xiao. He couldn't explain it, but he just felt very calm. But as soon as he spoke, the familiar feeling came back. He reached out and hugged him: "Brother Ye, you've been gone for nearly three years. Is everything going well?"
"It went well. How about we talk about it?" Ye Xiao asked about what he cared about most.
Xu Li's expression became a little strange.
Ye Xiao's heart tightened: "What happened to her?"
"She's fine, she's fine, she's just..." Xu Li was a little confused and said, "She has someone guarding the forest garden. Let her know when you get back, but it might be more convenient for you to go see her at this time."
