Chapter 787

"Xiadie!" Tian was the first to shout, broke free from Tibao's hand and ran towards her, almost bumping into the lamp in her arms.

"I'm back! Look, Tibao said she can make garlands for me every day from now on!"

The lamp in Xiadie's hand shook, but she seemed not to notice. She just stared at Tian, her eyes gradually reddening.

It was not until Tian reached out and touched the corner of her clothes that she suddenly came to her senses. She put the lamp aside, hugged Tian, and her voice was choked with suppressed sobs.

"Welcome back, Master Tian."

"I told you not to call me sir."

Tibao walked to Xiadie, looked at the scene and said softly, "Die, thank you for always guarding her."

Xiadie shook her head. "She was waiting for us to pick her up."

"But the doll that Lady Tian turned into disappeared."

Xiadie was talking about how Tian died and turned into a doll, and was then 'buried' here.

But just now, after Tian was rescued, the dolls here disappeared.

"Disappeared?" Tibao followed her gaze and saw only grass stems blown by the wind, without even a piece of cloth left.

She remembered that doll clearly.

It has no thoughts, no warmth, and is just an empty shell that carries everyone's thoughts.

"The moment Tian was pulled back into the rift," Xiadie recalled the scene, a daze still in her eyes. "The puppet suddenly became transparent, like snow melting in the sun, melting little by little in the wind, and finally drifted into the rift, right into Tian's condensed figure. By the time I reacted, there was only grass left."

Tibao was silent for a moment. "Everything has a beginning and an end. If you let go of your obsession, your body will disintegrate."

"That puppet is proof of 'loss' in this timeline."

"Now that she has returned from the past, the 'loss' of this timeline no longer exists, and the puppet will naturally dissipate."

"Is it like erasing a typo?" Tian's voice came from behind him. "Did that puppet know I'm back and leave without worry?"

Xiadie squatted down, smiled and nodded, "Well, it knows you have someone to accompany you, so it doesn't need to guard the stone tablet for you anymore."

Tian tilted her head as if she understood something, and suddenly held up the rabbit doll that Feng Jin had just given her.

"Then how about I put this rabbit there? Let it tell the grass leaves that I'm back and will come to visit them often in the future!"

The doll that carried three years of longing disappeared, but it doesn’t matter, the real Tian is back, bringing the sunshine of the past and the hope for the future.

...

"So that's how it is..."

"My future self died at its hands..." Tian lowered his head, recalling the scene in the Abyss of Fate.

Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing anything.

"No wonder my heart ached so badly when I saw the black-robed figure in the rift. It turns out it wasn't an illusion, but a wound left in time by my 'future self.'"

Tibao, who was sitting opposite her, held her hand, and there was a slight tremor in her fingertips.

"But things are different now." Tibao's voice was firm as he gently patted the back of her hand. "You have walked out of that 'future' and come to us. The hurt Tian is now a shadow of the past."

"So, you guys are just chatting, why are you pulling me along?"

Lin Yu was 'forced' to come here and listen to their conversation.

But this is Aglaya's private bathing palace, and they are all soaking in the pool in cool clothes.

It would be wrong to let Lin Yu go in, and it would be wrong to just watch.

"Come in, what are you standing there for?" March Seventh poked his head out of the water, holding a glass cup filled with juice in his hand. "Aglaya's bathing palace has a calming effect. Didn't you say you've been suffering from insomnia lately? It's a perfect time to soak in it."

"That's right," Silver Wolf agreed without even looking up, holding up his camera to capture the light and shadows on the water. "We don't care anyway, so why are you, a grown man, embarrassed?"

"You guys chat about yourselves, I'll just wait outside."

Tian shouted to him through the mist, "Lin Yu, come quickly! Aya said that tranquilizing grass was added to the water." As she spoke, she paddled towards the shore, the hem of her yukata floating on the water like a blooming water lily.

"No, no, I'm afraid of water. I get dizzy if I take a dip."

"Puchi!" Xiadie couldn't help laughing.

Aglaya's fingertips created ripples on the water. "Stop teasing him and making things difficult for him."

"We're all family, why should we be embarrassed? Besides, look at Silver Wolf, he's already slapping the bottom of the pool. He's much calmer than you."

Silver Wolf held up March Seven's camera and rolled his eyes at her. "I'm taking this as evidence. If someone dares to peek at us taking a bath again, I'll make an emoticon of his embarrassing look and post it all over the internet."

"Who peeked?"

"Don't slander me!" Lin Yu said, pointing at the silver wolf.

"Oh? Don't forget my abilities."

"Who was peeping at Xing while she was taking a bath in her room earlier?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the laughter in the pool stopped instantly, and everyone's eyes fell on Lin Yu.

Xing suddenly sat up straight in the water, her originally comfortable eyes widened, and the collar of her yukata slipped down a little, revealing her neck.

"What did you say?" She looked incredibly confused, obviously having no idea what he meant.

Xi Lian and Feng Jin looked at each other, and curiosity about "what's going on" flashed in their eyes.

San Yueqi even stood up directly from the water, forgetting that he was still in the pool, pointing at Lin Yu and shouting, "Good job, Lin Yu! You actually..."

"It's not what you think!"

Lin Yu was really at a loss for words, as things were clearly not like that.

"Well, they are an old couple anyway. Maybe this is just their sentimentality?" Saifeier said.

Hearing this, Xing blushed instantly.

San Yue Qi was stunned when he saw Xing’s blushing face.

"No way..are you guys really playing that role-playing thing?"

"March...March!" Xing stood up from the water anxiously, "Don't talk nonsense! That's not happening at all!"

Hearing this, March 7 looked at Lin Yu.

At this moment, Lin Yu also didn't know what to say.

There are so many people here, it's a bit awkward.

"Alright, alright," Silver Wolf suddenly spoke, breaking the deadlock. "Look how anxious you two are. Lin Yu is so cowardly. Even if he had the courage, he wouldn't dare to do anything."

She raised her chin towards Lin Yu and said, "But your reaction is too lame. You're just like Xing, blushing when teased."

"Who's blushing!" Xing called out quickly.

"Okay..." Xing's voice softened, "Stop bullying Lin Yu."

"How can you call it bullying?" Sai Feier smiled slyly, "We are just quietly enjoying the melon and helping you to improve your relationship. Look at how nervous Lin Yu is. He is not so cowardly even in a fight."

Aglaya's fingertips casually scratched the water surface, and he just curled his lips slightly when he heard the words.

Lin Yu's eyes couldn't help but follow Aglaya's figure.

In the mist, her bathrobe was faintly visible, making the lines of her profile even softer.

But the more this happened, the more confused he became.

Aglaya has lost most of her emotions and is already dull to the senses of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Was that fake smile on her face just now because she felt it was funny or ridiculous?

He thought of his overt and covert thoughts.

These intentions may seem obvious to others, but to Aglaya, could they just be "friendly gestures between companions"?

What's more, although everyone knew that the misunderstanding just now was a joke, the word "peek" still hurts.

Would she think she was frivolous?

Then think about how everyone else knows about him.

He is never short of companionship, with the shyness of Xing, the liveliness of March Seventh, and the gentleness of Firefly.

Would someone like Aglaya be willing to enter into such a relationship? She can hardly feel even basic emotions, so how can she accept such a complicated relationship?

"What are you thinking about?" Silver Wolf's voice interrupted his thoughts. "Isn't it just a few teasings? It's not like you to look so sad."

Lin Yu took a deep breath and was about to speak when he heard Aglaya suddenly stand up.

"Lin Yu, come here."

Her voice was soft.
