"So, I am not your fantasy." Lan Jin's eyes shone with a moist luster, "I was lucky to get your love, and I was reborn in another way."

"Thank you, Yi Yi. Thank you for giving me so much love." Lan Jin wrapped her arms around her waist and held her tightly in her arms.

Jane Yi clings to the warm body temperature, and her mind is in a trance for a moment.She no longer had the time to think about whether this was a lie she lied to herself, or a legend that existed but seemed unrealistic.

She would like to believe it was the latter.

Jane Yi buried her head in Lan Jin's neck and cried softly: "Ah Jin, Ah Jin..."

"Yi Yi, I'm here." Lan Jin caressed Jane Yi's back back and forth, as gently as she brushed her hair before, "I'm here."

"I don't want you to leave me." Her tears slid into Lan Jin's neckline, repeating the words she didn't know how many times she said.

"Even if I become a thumb kitten or Yi Yi's pet, I will not leave." Lan Jin said solemnly.

"It won't turn you into a thumb kitten," Jane Yi's voice choked, and she turned her head to kiss Lan Jin's cheek, "It won't."

A wet, salty kiss fell on Lan Jin's cheek, and he turned his head to kiss back.

Jane Yi cried for a while, feeling a lot more comfortable in her heart, exhaustion and drowsiness rolled up and surrounded her, when she was struggling at the boundary between sleeping and not sleeping——

Jian Xingzhou came to bring her breakfast.

Lan Jin flipped over the window and hid outside.

"I brought some porridge and steamed buns, you... have you eaten?" Jian Xingzhou muttered into the room, and suddenly smelled the aroma of beef noodles.

"I... I ordered takeaway." Jane Yi squeezed out a slightly uncomfortable smile.

Hearing what she said, Jian Xingzhou was relieved, at least he was in the mood to eat, and his condition was much better than yesterday.

Jian Xingzhou put the breakfast on the table and asked her, "How is your foot? Does it still hurt?"

Jane Yi shook her head: "It doesn't hurt."

"Remember to change the medicine prescribed by the doctor yesterday, and be careful not to touch the wound with water these few days." Jian Xingzhou explained the doctor's instructions again.

"okay, I get it."

Hearing that her voice was calm and she didn't feel hysterical like yesterday, Jian Xingzhou couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Apart from the fact that the eyes are very red, there is nothing abnormal.

Jian Xingzhou suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked, "When do you plan to return to Ninghai? I'll take you to the station."

"I'll probably be in the afternoon... No, I'll leave tomorrow morning. You don't have to see me off, I can handle it myself." Jane Yi's tone was a little stagnant.

"Isn't it convenient for your feet to be like this?"

"It's okay, I'll just take a taxi." Jane Yi dissuaded, "It's not good for you to keep running outside and be discovered by your aunt and uncle."

Jian Xingzhou raised his eyebrows: "I often played outside during this time, and they didn't say anything."

Jian Yi felt that continuing to speak would only arouse Jian Xingzhou's suspicion, and said embarrassingly, "Well, since you are so persistent."

Jian Xingzhou talked with her for a while, during which time she found her looking towards the window frequently, and couldn't help but wondered: "Is there anything there? I think you always look there."

"Ah? No." Jian Yi hurriedly retracted her gaze, lowering her eyes to prevent him from seeing her guilty expression, "It's just that in the morning, there was a beautiful bird parked there, and I wondered if it would fly back again..”

Jian Xingzhou felt a little baffled, but he didn't delve into it." "

After supervision, Jian Yi took anti-inflammatory drugs and confirmed the travel time for the next day, before Jian Xingzhou left.

Watching his figure disappear at the elevator entrance, Jane Yi hastily closed the door, and when she turned around, Lan Jin was already standing behind her.

"Yi Yi, your younger brother is a rare kind person in the family." Lan Jin put his chin on her shoulder and said with emotion, "It seems that you have taken him for so long since you were a child, it is not in vain."

"Compared to auntie and uncle, Xingzhou is a little more humane." Jane Yi hugged Lan Jin's waist and let out a short ah.

"What's wrong?" Lan Jin looked down at her.

"Suddenly, I realized that my waist has become thinner." Jane Yi raised her face and blinked.

"Because it's not a cat anymore." Lan Jin laughed.

"Yeah." Jane Yi squeezed lightly, "It doesn't have the same fleshy texture as before."

"Does Yi Yi prefer me in cat form? If you like, I can change back at any time." Lan Jin felt a little itchy when she pinched her, and her waist felt numb.

"I like them all, but let's keep your human form for a while, I haven't seen you in a long time." Jane Yi buried her face in his chest, smelling the scent of bath liquid.

"Ah Jin, how do we go home tomorrow?" Jane Yi was troubled, "Xingzhou said he wanted to see me off."

"Let him take you to the station. My current ID card has been cancelled, so I can't take the high-speed train with you."

"Then do I want to go home alone?" Jane Yi felt a chill in her heart.

"No." Lan Jin explained, "I'll run all the way to accompany you back, you choose a seat by the window, and you can see me when you turn your head."

Jane Yi was stunned: "Ajin, can you run as fast as a high-speed train?"

Speaking of this, Lan Jin is still a bit proud: "It's ok, my body is made of Nuwa's mud, it can resonate with nature, and sometimes it will produce a subtle feeling, as if...Well, it's like..."

Lan Jin pondered for a long time, and finally gave up: "Forget it, I can't tell."

Jane Yi suddenly remembered the small yard at home, and suddenly realized: "No wonder Fengnian likes you very much. You can understand what he said, so it's because of Nuwani."

Lan Jin nodded with a smile.

"You still haven't told me the truth. I thought you had awakened some strange talent." Recalling the various things I encountered in White Deer Village, some weird details that I didn't think about subconsciously have been explained at this moment.

"It's a bad cat." Jane Yi opened her mouth and bit his shoulder through the clothes.

Although on the surface he has accepted Nuwa's mud to reshape his body, the deep anxiety in his heart has not been erased.

That night, Jane Yi still had a nightmare.

When I woke up crying, I found that I was already hugged in my arms, and Lan Jin's comforting voice was next to my ears: "Yi Yi, it's okay, it's okay, I'm here."

It was dark, and the room was very quiet, except for Lan Jin's soft comforting voice.

Jane Yi could hear a little obscurity in his voice.

She stretched out her hand in the darkness and touched Lan Jin's cheek, which was warm and moist.

"Ajin?" Jane Yi panicked, ignoring the fact that she was still crying a few seconds ago, "Why are you crying?"

Now Lan Jin buried his face on her shoulder, shook his furry head, he calmed down his unsteady breath for a while, and then said: "Seeing you cry, I want to cry too."

He could still hold back in the morning, but when he saw Jane Yi screaming in his nightmare and crying in his sleep because of the memory of the car accident, he felt an uncontrollable sadness.

Although such a process is the only way for Jane Yi to accept the truth, he can't bear it.

It would be great if such illusory things as pain and sorrow could be shared, he didn't want Jane Yi to be so sad alone, he was willing to help Jane Yi eat up most of her bad emotions.

It's okay to eat them all.

Lan Jin tried her best to suppress her crying, but she looked even more pitiful because of this.

For a moment, Jane Yi felt that she was touched by something extremely gentle, and even her heart and soul trembled.

The identities of the comforter and the person being comforted were reversed, this time it was Jane Yi who patted Lan Jin's back lightly, comforting him softly.

The next morning, Jian Xingzhou sent Jian Yi to the station.

"Your condition is much better today." Jian Xingzhou said with a sigh of relief.

"I slept well last night." Jane Yi's gaze passed behind Jian Xingzhou and landed on Lan Jin not far away who was dressed in black and wore a black peaked cap.

He was tall, with broad shoulders and a thin waist, and his skin was white, making him stand out in the crowd.

However, because he was wearing a Futuomu necklace, passers-by who came and went did not see this tall man.

"Then I'll stand first." Jane Yi pointed to the front.

"Okay, be careful all the way." Jian Xingzhou waved to her, "Pay attention to your feet, walk slowly, and don't let the wound open."

He said this loudly, and everyone around Jane Yi automatically moved away.

Jane Yi turned around, smiled at him, then leaned on crutches again, and walked forward in small steps.

Jane Yi found her own seat and sat down, lowered her head to put her crutches down, and when she looked up from the window, Lan Jin was standing outside through the glass.

He took off his hat and smiled brightly at Jane Yi.

Jane Yi waved to him slightly.

Like a big enthusiastic dog, Lan Jin immediately started to wave his hands in a big way.

When the train started to move and the scenery outside the window began to move backward, Lan Jin also started to run.

His strides are long, and his running posture is beautiful, like an elegant cheetah.What's even more rare is that, under such a high-speed running, Lan Jin's expression remained the same as before, and he didn't collapse at all.

Ran all the way from Shuilin to Ninghai, and then from Ninghai to Bailu Town.

Lan Jin kept the promise she made with Jane Yi at the beginning, and kept running with her all the way through the window pane.

After arriving in Bailu Town, Lan Jin took off Futuomu's necklace and hugged Jane Yi openly.

"Ah, I'm finally back." He buried his face in Jane Yi's long hair and smelled the reassuring fragrance.

"Yeah." Jane Yi couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Although she hasn't stayed in Bailu Town for a long time, Jane Yi has long regarded this place as her home, and returning to this place always feels an unspeakable sense of intimacy.

"I'll take you to the minibus on my back." Lan Jin said, took off her coat and tied it up for her, then picked her up and walked towards the platform.

"Ah Jin, your back is so wide." Jane Yi said, hooking his neck.

"I am such a big one, of course my back is very wide."

Jane Yi pressed against his back: "It feels very safe."

Lan Jin felt the softness against her back, her ears turned red unconsciously, and she faltered and hummed.

"Ajin, your ears are red." Jane Yi spoke close to his ear.

"Yi Yi, why do you still like to tease me so much?" Lan Jin lowered her beautiful eyes, and her long black eyelashes trembled slightly.

On the minibus back to the village, Jane Yi insisted on sitting by the window: "It's breathable here, and you can also see the scenery outside the window. I want to sit here."

Lan Jin naturally knew the reason why she insisted on sitting by the window, but she didn't point it out, she just replied casually: "Okay."

Although his tone was relaxed, his arms silently wrapped around Jane Yi's waist and tightened quietly.

After driving for a while, Jane Yi suddenly said, "Ah Jin, let's take wedding photos in two days."

Lan Jin paused: "Huh?"

"I didn't take pictures last time." Jane Yi leaned her head on his shoulder, "Just find a small photo studio in the town to take pictures, and the photos can be hung in our bedroom."

Jane Yi began to imagine: "The best photo is the old texture, hazy, no need for refinement. I have always wanted to take a wedding photo like this."

"Okay. Yi Yi can say anything." Lan Jin replied to her.

When the car drove to the entrance of the village, Jane Yi saw a familiar figure.

Granny Yue Fen, Bailu, Xiaozhu, and even two little stone lions were there.

"Sister Xiao Yi!" Xiaozhu ran up and plunged into her arms.

Jane Yi couldn't stand still, and staggered, and Lan Jin beside her hurriedly supported her.

"Why did you hurt your foot?" Grandma Yue Fen asked with concern.

"I accidentally had a memory fragment before, as if I stepped on a gravel..." Jane Yi explained.

"Broken stones!" Xiaozhu frowned, "It must be very painful. I'll eat some of my bamboo shoot soup later, and then I'll wipe it off with my bamboo wine. But what do you mean by memory fragments?"

"Oh, you're so noisy." Bai Lu pushed Xiaozhu aside in disgust, glanced at the faces of Lan Jin and Jane Yi one by one, and said in an awkward tone, "You..."

He hesitated and couldn't speak, Jane Yi simply replied first: "I already know."

Only now did Jane Yi understand where Bai Lu's vague hostility toward her came from since the first meeting.

Bai Lu was worried that Jane Yi would turn Lan Jin into a thumb cat like his father did.

"It's good to know." It was rare for Bai Lu not to say a few harsh words afterwards, he just turned around and left with his black-eared rabbit in his arms.

After walking a few steps, he turned around again, and said with an impatient expression: "I said, how long are you going to stand at the entrance of the village? Is there anything you can't talk about when you go home?"

"Xiaolu is right," Lan Jin kissed Jane Yi's cheek affectionately, "Yi Yi, let's go home."

"it is good."
