"Cough cough cough—"
Startled by Lu An'an's sudden question, Master coughed violently. After calming down, his eyes flickered even more uncertainly than before.
"Little... little apprentice, your hearing is pretty good, huh? I only paused for a few seconds, and you noticed."
Lu An'an scoffed coldly: "Master, do you know that whenever you feel particularly guilty and have something on your mind, your hand will unconsciously tap the table?"
As she spoke, she gestured for her master to look at the chessboard, saying, "Master, look at your table. If you put your mind to it, you can make that corner round."
The master lowered his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over that corner, then coughed awkwardly twice, trying to save face.
"You silly child, I'm your master!"
Lu An'an nodded perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, so who else did you want to mention, Master?"
The master's words lingered in his throat, hesitant to speak: "Well, little disciple, you must promise me that no matter what you see later, you won't pull my beard."
Lu An'an narrowed her eyes, her mind racing through the subtle changes around her recently. The faces of two familiar people gradually took shape in her mind, and her tone became dangerous: "Master, I suddenly remembered that I haven't seen my grandparents for a long time. Do you know why?"
The master's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself: Is this girl too perceptive?
He swallowed hard, his hands trembling as he pulled a letter from under his clothes and handed it to Lu An'an, his face full of ingratiating smiles: "An'an, this letter was specially entrusted to me by your grandparents to be given to you by hand. Take your time to read it, and I'll go pick some sweet peaches for you to enjoy."
Before he finished speaking, the old man's figure instantly disappeared ten miles away.
Lu An'an watched the old man's slightly guilty and almost fleeing figure, and opened the letter with suspicion.
After reading only the first sentence, Lu An'an was so angry that her hands trembled, and her roar, filled with gritted teeth, echoed through the sea of flowers.
"Master! Give me back my grandparents!"
The master's hand trembled as he picked the peaches. Judging by the time, his little apprentice should have only read the first sentence of the trap those two old guys had set for him. He immediately protested, feeling wronged: "Apprentice, calm down! Read it first! That was a trap your grandparents set for your master!"
Upon hearing this, Lu An'an took a deep breath before continuing to read the letter.
"My dearest An'an: "
When you open this letter, your grandparents will no longer be in this world, and all of this was your master's will.
But... on the other hand, this was also something Grandpa and Grandma did willingly, so it's not your master's fault, hahaha.
An'an, if you can see this letter, it means that you have successfully changed your own fate and the fate of the Lu family. Your grandparents are proud of you.
An'an, Grandma still remembers when you were just born. Your grandpa and I were so excited when we saw you wrapped in swaddling clothes and being carried out of the hospital. You were the youngest little lady of the Lu family, and your grandpa and I adored you. But none of us expected that you would suddenly get lost. It was at that moment that your grandpa and I suddenly remembered our own origins and that the world you came from was a fictional world.
Your grandfather and I were time-travel mission takers from the Time and Space Administration. Before becoming your grandparents, we had just resigned and chosen a small world for a vacation. After you got lost, we remembered everything and knew that the ending for you and Pei Sheng in this book was not very good. Out of selfishness for you, your grandfather and I made the worst decision of our lives, which was to awaken you and Pei Sheng.
Grandma thought that after you and Pei Sheng found out that your ending was predetermined, you would definitely try to change it. Although you and Pei Sheng did try to avoid the plot after you awakened, the result was very different from what I expected.
Pei Sheng was too extreme. His childhood and adult experiences caused him to turn completely evil shortly after his awakening. Grandma could only watch helplessly as your destined sadomasochistic relationship with Pei Sheng turned into enmity, and in the end, your little world collapsed.
Your grandfather and I wanted to correct this mistake, so we asked our superior, the one you've met, the high and mighty deity. As you can probably guess, He rejected our pleas and refused to interfere in the affairs of the small world.
Faced with the indifference of the gods, your grandfather and I were unwilling but helpless. We could only try to make Pei Sheng's life better when the small world restarted. However, because of our interference, we angered the gods, who set you and Pei Sheng as irreconcilable enemies. You are the male and female protagonists, and you are also sworn enemies who can never reconcile.
Your grandfather and I were also forbidden by Him from doing anything against the rules in the small world. Because of this, your grandfather and I could only watch helplessly as the small world collapsed time and time again, and watch you sink into grief over the loss of your loved ones time and time again.
Until your master found us, he told us that the only way to change this predetermined tragedy was to bring down the high and mighty gods from their unreachable pedestals and allow the world order to be reborn from the ruins.
So, your grandfather, your master, and I, along with the characters who had been tricked by the gods, meticulously planned that operation.
After the plan succeeded, your grandfather and I returned to the small world. Because of what happened before, we dared not act rashly again. So after your grandfather rescued me from Lu Yanhua according to the established plot, the two of us hid in the Misty Ridge Mountains. Your grandfather fell into a coma because he rewrote my inevitable death plot without authorization. Only when you, An'an, the indispensable heroine in this story, found us could your grandfather and I 'come back to life' in the small world.
