    "I stepped on a gravel and got stitches. My foot hurts so much." Jane Yi said, her foot, which was not so painful before, really hurt even more.

    "Why did you step on the gravel? Did you even get stitches?" Lan Jin felt distressed when he heard it, "Are you in the hospital now? Or at home?"

    "I'm at the hotel." Jane Yi sniffed, "They said bad things about you, so I ran out from there."

    "Bad... bad words?" Lan Jin had a bad intuition, but he knew exactly what Jane Yi was like when he was emotionally broken, so he didn't ask what the bad words were.

    "Ajin, I feel bad, I have a shoe that is still missing, and I don't know why it disappeared..." Jane Yi's words began to be confused.

    Lan Jin comforted her: "It's okay, I'll pick you up and buy you a new pair of shoes."

    When Jane Yi said that she didn't know why the shoes disappeared, Lan Jin knew that she had a relapse of her illness and had a memory fragment.

    "Stay in the hotel well, don't run around, close the windows and doors, and I'll come to you, okay?" Lan Jin coaxed her patiently, fearing that something might happen to her.

    After learning the name and room number of the hotel, Lan Jin repeatedly told her to pull up the quilt and sleep well.

    "Ah Jin, can you really pick me up tomorrow?" Jane Yi asked anxiously.

    "Really, I swear."

    "However, you are a cat now. If you come over there, you will be discovered by others, and maybe you will be taken away as a monster."

    "Don't worry, I will find a way to do this, you sleep well, I will definitely be able to arrive at your place before nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

    After talking for a while, Jane Yi's mood obviously calmed down. She got under the quilt, held the phone and whispered: "Then Ah Jin, I'm asleep. Tomorrow, you must come to pick me up."

    "Okay, okay, sure."

    After hanging up the phone, Lan Jin met Xiaozhu with worried eyes.

    "Did something happen to sister Xiao Yi? I seem to hear her crying." Xiaozhu asked.

    "She...can't explain clearly in a few words." Big Maomao scratched his head, "Xiaozhu, I'll pick her up, stay at home and don't open the door to strangers."

    "Okay... But, are you going to pick her up? Now?" Xiaozhu looked at the dark sky, "Is it too late?"

    "No, this time is just right." After the big cat finished speaking, its body began to change into a human shape.

    Xiaozhu covered her mouth in surprise: "Brother-in-law Xiao Jin, you—"

    "I've always been able to change form." Lan Jin was a little absent-minded, he forced a smile to Xiaozhu, "Anyway, I'll explain when I get back, I'm leaving first."

    At first, Xiaozhu thought that he turned into a human for the convenience of driving, but Lan Jin opened the door and ran away without a trace.

    In just a few seconds, even the afterimage was not captured.

    It turned out that didn't want to drive, but to run!

    But it's not so far away from the water forest. Can brother-in-law Xiao Jin really arrive on time?

    Xiaozhu looked at the empty alley and thought worriedly.

    Lan Jin felt that he was integrated with nature.

    Every time he took a step, he felt the surrounding scenery changing.He didn't feel tired, but felt a kind of freedom and joy.

    Although there is no navigation from White Deer Village to the water forest, Lan Jin's mind can automatically present a clear route, and his body also consciously chooses the shortest route.

    He thought, this should be due to the materials used to recast this body.

    He came to Jane Yi's window sill in the early hours of the morning and saw her sleeping wrapped in a quilt, and his heart was relieved.

    Pushing open the unlocked window, Lan Jin quietly walked to her bed and stood beside her quietly.

    It wasn't until around six o'clock that Lan Jin turned out the window again and walked around the hotel.I bought a bowl of noodles from the breakfast shop that opened not long ago, and bought a pair of slippers in the supermarket before returning to Jane Yi's side.

    Jane Yi smelled the fragrance of noodles in a hazy state of consciousness. She opened her eyes and found that Lan Jin was sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes gently playing with her hair.

    "Ajin?" Jane Yi rubbed her eyes and shouted.

    "It's me, I bought you breakfast—" Before she finished speaking, she was hugged by Jane Yi.

    Jane Yi hugged him, stroking his shoulders heavily with both hands, then let go of her embrace, touched Lan Jin's face, and said foolishly, "I'm not dreaming, am I?"

    "No." Lan Jin took the initiative to touch her palm, "Didn't I say on the phone last night that I would come to pick you up this morning?"

    "I thought this was my imagination again." Jane Yi felt like crying again as she spoke, she buried her face in Lan Jin's chest, trying not to let the tears flow out.

    "It's not a fantasy, I'm here, as long as you need me, I will be by your side."

    Lan Jin kissed the top of her hair in this posture: "Are you hungry? I bought you a bowl of noodles."

    Jane Yi remembered that she didn't eat much last night, her stomach was still empty, she raised her head and said, "A little bit."

    Her eye circles were red, and her eyes were a little swollen, looking like a bunny.

    Lan Jin's heart was so soft that he brought a bowl of noodles: "Eat it while it's hot, the noodles will be lumpy later."

    "Go to the dining table to eat, or you will get the soup on the quilt." Jane Yi glanced at the bowl, it was braised beef noodles, and the soup was still shiny.

    "That's right." Lan Jin put the noodle bowl on the dining table, turned around, and saw her advancing in an extremely weird posture.

    The sole of her left foot was injured, so she moved forward slowly with her right foot on the heel.

    Lan Jin simply picked her up and walked to the table in two or three steps, and put her on the chair.

    Jane Yi buried her head in two mouthfuls of noodles and asked him, "Ah Jin, don't you want to eat?"

    "I've eaten." Lan Jin propped his face with one hand, "I'm not hungry."

    After eating smooth noodles and drinking half a bowl of soup, Jane Yi's spirit also improved.

    Seeing that her state had eased, Lan Jin carefully considered her words and said, "Yi Yi, in fact, I could have turned into a human a long time ago, it's just..."

    Subconsciously, Jane Yi was afraid of hearing Lan Jin's explanation, so she could only change the subject awkwardly: "My feet suddenly hurt."

    "Are your feet?" Lan Jin squatted down, "Let me see."

    Blood oozes faintly under the white gauze.

    "Is the wound open?" Lan Jin carefully touched the place where the blood was oozing, "Did the doctor prescribe you any medicine yesterday? Did you have any replacement gauze and bandage?"

    Jane Yi looked bewildered.

    Lan Jin: "Okay."

    Judging by her reaction, she probably forgot.

    "I'll take you to the clinic later and let the doctor have a look." Lan Jin realized something was wrong when he said this, "Did you go to the clinic by yourself yesterday to have someone bandage you? Or did someone accompany you?"

    "Xingzhou sent me there."

    Lan Jin breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be him."

    "He also said that he would deliver food to me today." Jane Yi suddenly remembered.

    "Then I have to hide later."

    Jane Yi wanted to say something, but her heart palpitated, and she hummed vaguely.

    "Yi Yi?" Lan Jin knelt down in front of her.

    "I seem to know." Jane Yi smiled at him, and then tears flowed, "You are no longer here, but I can't accept it."

    Jane Yi wiped her tears: "I'm sorry, I keep crying, but I can't control it."

    "Yi Yi, do you still think that I am illusory in front of you?" Lan Jin wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

    Jane Yi nodded with red eyes: "I am sick, have hallucinations, and make up stories by myself. You are fabricated by my survival instinct."

    When I take the medicine, I am very clear, but when I don't take the medicine, my consciousness is chaotic.For several months, Jane Yi refused to take medicine in order to escape reality.

    "No, I am real, not a phantom, nor your imagination." Lan Jin took her hand and pressed it against her cheek, "You touch it, it's soft."

    Lan Jin stood up, kissed her cheek softly, and kissed her lips again.

    Jane Yi blushed from being kissed: "So soft."

    Lan Jin smiled: "Is that so? The lips are also soft."

    "But I dreamed about what happened that day last night." Jane Yi lowered her head, clutching the hem of her skirt and trembling violently, "Although I kept telling myself that it was just a dream, I know it is actually reality."

    Jane Yi dreamed about the day the car accident happened last night.

    She took the bus with Lan Jin that day to go to the photo studio on Binshui Road to take wedding photos.

    Lan Jin sat by the window, and she sat by the aisle.

    Even though it was in a dream, she still remembered the happy mood at that time.

    But when the bus stopped at the intersection and waited for the traffic lights, a truck came from the side intersection at high speed and hit the middle of the bus body.

    It happened so suddenly.

    Jane Yi just felt dizzy.

    She didn't know how Lan Jin, who was sitting beside her, reacted quickly in that situation, and rushed over to hug her tightly.

    The glass shattered, people fell from their seats, and the car was full of people's screams.

    She soon fell into a coma.

    She was only conscious for a brief moment when paramedics took her to the hospital.

    Lan Jin was still holding her, but the temperature of her body had cooled down.

    Overhead is the conversation of medical staff:

    "Men are dead, but women are alive."

    "It's already a miracle to be able to survive. This car accident is quite serious."

    "Hey, it's a couple, they hug so tightly, they can't be separated. If it wasn't for this man, the woman must be too... Sigh."

    "Let's find a way to separate them, otherwise the follow-up treatment will be delayed." The doctor sighed.

    Then came the sound of equipment colliding.

    Jane Yi's body couldn't move at all, and she couldn't even open her eyes.She couldn't even look at Lan Jin's current situation.

    He could only feel his already cold body temperature.

    Ah Jin, Ah Jin, Ah Jin.

    The name lingered in my mind thousands of times, but my throat couldn't make a sound.

    It hurts, it hurts, it hurts.It was like drowning in deep water, unable to speak or breathe.

    At least, at least let me see Ah Jin one last time.

    Get out of the dark dream.

    If it wasn't Lan Jin when she opened her eyes, Jane Yi would probably return to the mental state of last night.

    It is not impossible to jump downstairs from the ledge in the state of memory fragments.

    "Would it be better if I hug you like this?" Lan Jin hugged her, passing her body temperature over.

    Jane Yi didn't speak, but the movement of hugging her back tighter had revealed her thoughts.

    "Yi Yi, I'll tell you the truth about why I was able to be resurrected next."

    Jane Yi sniffed and nodded silently.

    "Maybe it sounds a little ridiculous, but you believe me, this is not your hallucination, nor is it your fabricated storyline. Do you still remember Granny Yue Fen?"

    "Of course I do."

    "I told you before, she is the first angel of White Deer Village."

    Jane Yi hummed.

    "As the first envoy of God, Grandma Yue Fen received a gift from the God of Bailu Mountain—Nuwa mud."

    Jane Yi looked up.

    Lan Jin was amused by her expression: "It's really not your fantasy, I promise."

    Jane Yi was dubious: "Then...then you continue."

    "I'm thinking about where to start." Lan Jin thought for a while, "Yi Yi, do you know? After a person dies, the soul can exist in the world for up to a year."

    "so you……"

    "I have been by your side for a year after my death. It's just that we live in a world with different frequencies. I can see you, but you can't see me."

    Lan Jin witnessed that Jane Yi's mental state was getting worse and worse, and her body was getting thinner and weaker.

    He couldn't do anything but watch Jiang Junxia send Jane Yi to the hospital for treatment.After nearly half a year of recuperation, Jane Yi's condition improved a little, so she returned to work.

    But several successive jobs were unsatisfactory, and the pressure of the workplace made her mental state begin to deteriorate.

    It happened that at this time she also stopped the medicine she had been taking, so Jane Yi's hallucinations became more and more serious.She deliberately forgot about Lan Jin's death, and imagined that Lan Jin was still living with her.

    Every day before going to work, will say goodbye to Lan Jin, and after returning home from get off work, will chat with Lan Jin, and even cook twice on weekdays.

    Sleeping with plush toys at night, pretending to be hugged by Lan Jin.

    Originally, Lan Jin only planned to be by her side in the last year, hoping to see her start a new relationship and see her gain new happiness, even if he was sad, he could leave with peace of mind.

    After all, he was already dead.

    But one year is approaching, and Jane Yi can only rely on her own imagination to live in false "happiness".

    Lan Jin was worried about her.

    So he found Granny Yue Fen and begged her: "You can turn me into a little ghost, or seal me in something. I want to be by Yi Yi's side. At least someone can talk to her when she's sad."

    Granny Yue Fen naturally refused, and even scolded him severely.

    Begging for a long time did not work.

    Lan Jin had no choice but to ask another Mr. Yin Yang.

    Granny Yue Fen scolded again: "What are you doing? Are you sending them home for free as rations?"

    Lan Jin felt aggrieved: "That person promised to turn me into a little devil."

    "Did the book you read go into the belly of a cow? What do you believe in what other people say?" Grandma Yue Fen was so angry that she wanted to pull his ear, but unfortunately she couldn't. "Besides, what do you think 'little ghost' is?"Is it a good word? If you are really turned into a brat, you may not even know your own mind, and you can only become a tool for others to harm others."

    Lan Jin cried: "Then what should I do? Yi Yi's illness is getting worse and worse. Her adoptive parents don't care about her, and her friends have their own lives. No one takes care of her. If this continues, I'm afraid that she will be killed."Other bad men lied to me, I don't want her to be hurt, she is now so thin that only a handful of bones are left..."

    Grandma Yue Fen saw his 1.9-meter man crying with grief, and after a long silence, she only sighed heavily: "Only this time."

    Lan Jin looked at her with tears in his eyes.

    "I still have a little Nuwa mud in my hand."

    Lan Jin wiped away tears, and asked blankly, "What is Nuwa mud?"

    "It doesn't matter what it is. The important thing is that Nuwa's clay can shape the clay body, and the human soul can be attached to it to move freely."

    "Will Yi Yi be able to see me this way?" Lan Jin turned from sadness to joy.

    "Yes, but don't be too happy. There is still a glue between the soul and the clay body, that is, a medium."

    "What medium do you want?"

    "A special person, who this person is is up to you to decide." Yue Fen looked at Lan Jin's expectant eyes, and helplessly raised her forehead, "Forget it, you can use your toes to know who you will choose."

    The clay body of Nuwa clay sculpture is very particular.Because the human body is dead, the clay body that is squeezed out cannot be in the shape of a human being, but one can only be selected from animals.

    After the mud body and soul are connected, they survive by absorbing the love given by the medium as nutrients.The more love one has, the bigger the clay body can grow, theoretically speaking, at most it can be equal to the size of the physical body.When this level is reached, the slime possesses the ability to assume human form.

    If you can maintain such a high level of love transmission, then it is almost like coming back from the dead.Of course, this is the ideal state.

    Conversely, if the love given by the medium gradually decreases, the clay body will gradually become smaller. In addition to losing the ability to change form, it will also lose the ability to speak and think, and eventually it will be no different from an animal.

    Until the love of the medium disappears completely, the mud body loses connection with the soul, the mud body turns into a puddle of useless mud, and the soul dissipates immediately.

    "But I still have to remind you, Lan Jin." Granny Yue Fen's tone became serious, "Love is not as long and deep as you imagined, it disappears and moves too fast. And once the match...Once Jane Yi's love for you disappears, you will immediately lose connection with the mud body and turn into a puddle of mud."

    "I've known this kind of thing for a long time, and I didn't expect to stay by her side forever. If Yi Yi really finds new happiness, then I'll just leave."

    "Hehe." Granny Yue Fen sneered, "What you said now is beautiful. I think you will die of jealousy and pain. All of them are idiots who only care about the present and don't care about the future."

    Lan Jin bowed his head to be scolded, he also knew that what he said was too idealistic.

    Grandma Yue Fen took out Nuwa clay from the room.

    A ball of dark yellow clay exuding a strong earthy fragrance lay quietly on Grandma Yue Fen's palm.

    "Is this Nuwa mud? It's such a small ball, no bigger than my little finger." Lan Jin stretched out her hand to compare.

    "Just be content with what's left, it's all leftovers from the last plasticine body."

    "Last time? Granny Yue Fen, did you—"

    "Yuqing." When Granny Yue Fen pronounced the name, Lan Jin fell silent.

    He knew that Granny Yue Fen's daughter who died a few years ago was named Feng Yuqing.

    "My idiot daughter chose a scumbag as a medium," Granny Yue Fen's voice trembled, "It was only three months after being resurrected, and it turned into a rabbit the size of a thumb."

    Without waiting for Lan Jin to ask, Granny Yue Fen ended the topic of Thumb Rabbit on her own: "I won't talk about Yuqing's matter, let's solve your matter first."

    Lan Jin: "Okay...Okay."

    "Xiao Jin, what shape of clay body do you want?"

    Lan Jin didn't hesitate: "Cat! Orange cat! Yi Yi likes cats the most."

    Granny Yue Fen skillfully pinched a kitten, and even found special paints to color it.

    When the ceremony is over, the moment when the mud body and the soul are connected.

    Grandma Yue Fen heard a thud, and then looked at the group of kittens on the ground that were only as big as a thumb and pulled them up on the spot, and a big and fat orange cat appeared in front of her eyes.

    The orange cat blinked in bewilderment, looked at his paws again, covered his face and shouted, "Ah! I really turned into a cat!"

    It was Lan Jin's voice.

    Lan Jin looked at the mother-in-law Yue Fen who was already stunned, assessed the height difference, and continued: "Yi Yi loves me so much, I feel that I am about the same age as before."

    "Why..." Granny Yue Fen reached out and touched Maomao's belly, "Why did you get fat?"

    Lan Jin, who was immersed in joy, froze for a moment: My abdominal muscles!!

    He hastily put his paws on the soft belly and squeezed it until he got a lump of soft meat.

    After a brief moment of grief for the lost abdominal muscles, Lan Jin suddenly thought of something, and said with a bright eye: "Mother-in-law, is it because Yi Yi loves me too much? That's why I gained weight!"

    "It should be like this, and I can't think of any other explanation." Granny Yue Fen still had a surprised expression on her face.

    Lan Jin: "Wow!"

    "Xiao Jin, it's okay for you to transform into a human form now?" Yue Fen mother-in-law asked.

    "I'll try." Lan Jin recalled his appearance in human form, and in an instant, a soft wind lingered around him, and he was surrounded by touchable and gentle love.Then, the shape of the body changes.

    The orange-white hair faded away, revealing smooth white skin; the big amber cat eyes became jet-black; the erect cat ears drooped down close to the black hair and disappeared; the fluffy and beautiful big tail also disappeared.

    Grandma Yue Fen saw him standing alive in front of her again, and her heart felt astringent, but before she could open her mouth, there was a creaking sound of the door opening behind her, followed by Bai Lu's voice: "Brother Xiao Jin?"

    The voice was unbelievable at first, but then became angry: "Brother Xiaojin!"

    Bai Lu walked in front of Grandma Yue Fen in three steps and two steps: "Grandma!! Did you give him the leftover Nuwa clay!"

    Granny Yue Fen's eyes dodged: "Ah..."

    "Have you forgotten how Feng Yuqing died? Why do you want brother Xiao Jin to repeat the same mistakes?!" The veins on Bai Lu's neck flickered, and his tone was full of anger.

    "Xiaolu, don't blame Granny Yue Fen, I insisted on asking her to help me." Lan Jin interrupted him.

    Bai Lu looked at him with red eyes: "Since you know about her, why...why!"

    "I... Yi Yi her..."

    "I don't want to hear such nonsense that your girlfriend loves you so much!" Bai Lu said emotionally, "Feng Yuqing once also thought that Bai Shu's love for her would never change, what happened?! It didn't take long before he changed his mind!Just a few months! A few months!"

    "I..." Lan Jin pursed her lips, lowered her head, but then raised her head firmly: "I won't regret it."

    Bai Lu looked at him silently for a while, then turned his head and left without saying a word after a sneer.

    After Grandma Yue Fen and Lan Jin stood silently for a while, Lan Jin said first, "Grandma, I'm leaving."

    "Now? Didn't you say that Jane Yi is on a business trip? It should be some time before she comes home, right? Let's stay here for two days first." Yue Fen's mother-in-law persuaded.

    "No, I'll go home and get used to life as a cat." Lan Jin scratched her hair a few times and said.

    After all, he is already a dead person, and it is not suitable for him to show his face outside.

    Granny Yuefen expressed concern: "Xiao Jin, what will you do when you go back? Bailu Village is fine, but there should be many people who attended your funeral in Ninghai? If someone recognizes you..."

    "It's okay, I'm going to pretend to be a big cat suddenly, so that I can stay at home and not arouse others' suspicion."

    Mother-in-law Yue Fen frowned: "Wouldn't this statement be too ridiculous? Would Jane Yi believe it?"

    "Yes." Lan Jin affirmed, "Yi Yi is sick, she would rather believe that I became a big cat for no reason than accept that I am dead."

    Granny Yue Fen: "But it's not an option to hide it like this. You might as well tell her the truth from the beginning."

    "She is currently in a weak state of mind and body. Wait until I take care of her for a while. I'm afraid of irritating her." Lan Jin replied.

    Grandma Yue Fen sighed: "Hey, God is not gentle at all sometimes."

    "Things are impermanent, but it doesn't matter if God is not gentle, as long as there are people who are willing to be gentle to me." Lan Jin smiled.

    Wearing Futuomu given by Yue Fen's mother-in-law, Lan Jin began to run in the mountains.

    Sometimes in the form of a human, and sometimes in the form of a big cat.

    He ran towards Ning Hai without stopping.

    He was on his way to meet Jane Yi.

    When he got to the place where he and Jane lived, he found that the air conditioner in the house had stopped running.

    Unfortunately, something went wrong.

    Wow, being a cat in summer is so hot.

    Lan Jin was about to transform into a human form when she suddenly heard a bell ringing at the door.

    He pricked up his ears warily.

    After the doorbell rang several times and no one responded, people outside began to knock on the door, and at the same time there was a panic shout: "Ajin! Ajin!"

    Lan Jin panicked, he didn't expect Jane Yi who was on a business trip to come back early.

    All in all, it's time to test your acting skills.

    Big Mao Mao patted his fat face, pulled himself together, walked to the door, opened the door gently, and looked out the door carefully.

    One person and one cat stared at each other for a while.

    Lan Jin uttered a "woo-wah", pounced on the stupefied Jane Yi, and cried coquettishly: "Yi Yi, woo-woo-woo-woo, the air conditioner is broken, I dare not call someone to fix it, I'm afraid, woo woo woo..."

    This is the beginning of the story.

    The author has something to say:

    Tomorrow there will be another chapter at the end, and there will be two small extras.

    Some readers in the comment section thought it was too fast, but I didn't want to tell a particularly complicated story at the beginning. I felt that I had finished writing all the plots I wanted to write, and the structure was considered complete. If I wrote it longer, it would only add side stories.

    If you go back and start reading from the first chapter after reading this chapter, you will find that my performance in Jane Yi and many details have foreshadowed.
