Chapter 1479: Chapter 436: Fruitless Efforts (Part 3)
"Are you okay, Yan Ye..."
But at this moment, Bai Yi, who had gotten up, was more concerned about Yan Huan’s situation first.
He saw the little cat lying on the ground, squinting and panting slightly. After a moment, it shook its head and said,
"I’m fine, meow..."
"Yan Ye, what exactly was that just now?"
"... I don’t know either, meow."
In fact, Yan Huan knew it was the power of Big Thumb.
Moreover, from Aria’s attempt to take him away, Yan Huan guessed the reason.
Perhaps reality after he left knew what he wanted to do, so it came to stop him...
And now, what Yan Huan had to do must never be known by Bai Yi, otherwise everything might be wasted.
"Maybe... it’s because I’ve helped you change too many things, meow, that it caught the attention of the world line."
"I see..."
Hearing this, Bai Yi’s eyes slightly dimmed.
After all, she had done so much, yet achieved nothing...
Seeing this, Yan Huan quickly changed the subject,
"More importantly, where are we now..."
He glanced around and found the furnishings very familiar.
This place is...
Bai Yi’s rental villa!
It was also the starting point of his first time travel back, where he saw Bai Yi and began his journey!
He had brought Bai Yi back!?
"Meow?!"
Upon seeing this, Yan Huan became completely excited, quickly trying to stand up.
But just having been ravaged by Big Thumb’s power, he felt dizzy and shook before falling onto the ground again.
Big Thumb was too terrifying; the fact that he managed to escape back into Bai Yi’s arms had already taken all his strength...
But even in such a weakened state, Yan Huan’s joy couldn’t be contained.
It worked...
It worked!!
"Bai Yi, we’re back, meow..."
"Yes, we are..."
Bai Yi nodded, wiping the tears from her eyes and sweat from her forehead. Just as she was about to speak, out of the corner of her eye, she saw her phone lying on the ground.
A thin layer of dust covered the phone screen.
"..."
Seeing this, Bai Yi frowned, picked up the phone.
She wiped the screen, tried to turn it on, but it was fruitless.
The battery was dead...
Realizing the phone was dead, Bai Yi blinked, instantly understanding something.
If they had returned to the day of the time travel, how could the phone be dusty and out of power?
"Wait, Yan Ye, I’m going to charge it..."
Bai Yi paused slightly, then bowed her head, picked up the limp, semi-conscious Yan Ye, and headed for the bedroom.
Now, she seemed unwilling to leave Yan Ye behind.
"Okay, meow..."
In her arms, Yan Huan, with slightly dazed consciousness, squinted his eyes, resting briefly while formulating the upcoming plan.
What he needed to do next, he had already thought it over countless times, hadn’t he?
Utilizing the dual identity of Yan Ye and Yan Huan, he would tempt Bai Yi and them into giving up the modifier together.
Then, he could...
Resolve the Causal Law Bomb by another method.
A way where Bai Yi wouldn’t have to disappear.
"..."
With this in mind, nestled in Bai Yi’s arms, he slowly closed his eyes, relaxing.
Sensing Yan Ye calm down, Bai Yi charged the phone, sat on the bed, and turned it on.
As soon as it powered on, countless messages bombarded her through the app.
From her manager, from the Golden Lion Group, from Uncle Jiang...
Messages from several days ago.
Initially, they asked about work, inquiring about her whereabouts...
Later, confirming her disappearance, they started worrying about her safety.
Especially Uncle Jiang, he kept calling and said he had already reported it to the police.
"..."
Realizing that the day they returned wasn’t the day she time traveled, Bai Yi blinked.
Her gaze fell on "contacts," where many people were now missing.
Yan Huan, Ye Shiyu, Sakuragi Hitomi... all of them...
She had truly changed the past.
Now, Yan Huan completely did not remember her anymore.
"Beep..."
Even though she already knew about Yan Huan’s deception, at this moment, looking at the now-empty "pinned" spot, her eyes inevitably reddened.
Clearly, she had placed Yan Huan’s chat box at the "pinned" position.
"... What is it, meow?"
Feeling Bai Yi’s tears fall on him, the exhausted Yan Ye struggled to open his eyes.
"It’s nothing... boo..."
Bai Yi wiped her tears, shook her head.
But before Yan Huan could ask further questions, her fingers tapped open another chat box.
"Where on earth have you gone? Did you know you were supposed to attend an event today?!"
"Are you still sulking with me? Even so, you can’t ignore work! Do you know how much it would cost in penalties if you don’t show up?!"
"Come back quickly! I’ve already reported to the police!"
"Do you think you’ve grown wings now..."
"..."
Seeing the messages sent by Zuo Jiangqin, who was labeled as "Mom," during her absence, a flame inevitably sparked in Bai Yi’s dim Star Eyes.
Especially at this moment, the image of her father being arrested and, ten years later, the scene in the prison lingered in her mind...
It’s all... because of you...
I’ve had enough...
A drop of turbid tear fell from Bai Yi’s eye, making her breath quicken involuntarily.
"Yan Ye..."
"Meow?"
Yan Huan opened his eyes again and slowly lifted his head.
Looking up, he saw Bai Yi, with reddened eyes, looking at him, saying word by word,
"I want Zuo Jiangqin to pay the price..."
"Uh... okay... okay, meow..."
Yan Huan subconsciously agreed; after all, he had long been displeased with that old witch.
"Doesn’t she want to make money? Doesn’t she care most about breach fees? I must make her pay!! Boo..."
"Okay, meow..."
"Let’s go right now!"
Hearing Yan Ye agree, Bai Yi gained confidence.
