To be honest, it was just a rich second generation who had too much time on his hands and wanted to experience the hardships of life.
He didn't expect to experience hardship, but instead met someone who doted on him, cherished him, loved him, and respected him... someone who wanted to give him all the good things in the world – his Ah Ci.
...
As memories flooded back, Ye Bai looked around blankly. He saw his family doctor, he saw his brother, but he didn't see the person in his heart.
His eyes were filled with terror.
"Ah Ci, Qiao Ci, where are you? Did you come back with me?" He hurriedly got up, but he was too weak. Because he got up too quickly, he felt dizzy and was about to fall off the bed.
Ye Xuan quickly stepped forward to support his foolish younger brother, but a graceful figure appeared out of nowhere, catching the tall Ye Bai just in time. She easily picked him up, placed him on the bed, and covered him with the quilt.
"If I don't come back with you, where else can I go?" Qiao Ci's voice was helpless yet gentle. "Don't move around. Your body is very weak and needs to replenish some energy."
Ye Bai immediately lay down obediently, his eyes looking at Qiao Ci pitifully and complaining with grievance, "But I didn't see you when I woke up. I was scared."
"Did you forget what I said?" Qiao Ci raised an eyebrow.
Ahem, she would never tell Ye Bai the truth. She had just gotten a little lost, which was why she was a bit late.
Ye Bai's eyes curved, appearing very obedient. Even his pale lips couldn't hide his good spirits, "I can always trust Ah Ci."
"Good boy," Qiao Ci patted his head.
Ye Xuan, standing by, was stunned.
His usually unruly younger brother, who never paid attention to anyone, had become so well-behaved and sensible?
This little girl is quite skilled at taming her husband!
After being appeased by Qiao Ci, Ye Bai finally looked at Ye Xuan, pursed his lips, and reluctantly called out, "Brother."
Ye Xuan immediately put on a stern face, wanting to reprimand Ye Bai for disregarding his own safety and staying in this world for so long.
However, the words stopped at his lips, and he couldn't say them. He could only sigh, step forward, and look at Ye Bai for a moment before patting his shoulder, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
He didn't have many demands anymore. He had always been less caring towards this younger brother. If Ye Bai became even more disheartened and didn't return, he would have no brother.
Leaving the space to the two of them, Ye Xuan instructed someone to bring food for Ye Bai, then dragged Wen Si away.
"Host, host, wow wow wow, you're finally back. Little Spoon thought you had disappeared." Little Spoon was crying uncontrollably in the system space. It had just been comforted by the main system, and seeing Qiao Ci now, it couldn't hold back.
"The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't have time to bring you along," Qiao Ci explained to Little Spoon.
After receiving Qiao Ci's answer, Little Spoon didn't dare to say anything more, allowing Qiao Ci to foster her relationship with her cub. It was a sensible spoon.
"Ah Ci, is this your original appearance?" The surroundings became quiet. Ye Bai's long, fair fingers caressed Qiao Ci's cheek, his expression filled with joy and shyness.
Qiao Ci nodded, then shook her head. "Yes and no. I am currently only a soul. My physical body is still in my original world. My appearance should be more beautiful than it is now."
"Ah Ci, what is your original world like? Can you tell me about it?" Ye Bai really wanted to know everything about Qiao Ci. Although he had gone through so many small worlds, he knew nothing about Qiao Ci's past.
Qiao Ci thought for a moment and slowly began, "The world is divided into three thousand small worlds and three thousand great worlds. The lives we experienced, including the plane you are in now, are all collectively called small worlds in my place..."
Qiao Ci came from the Divine Realm, which governed three thousand great worlds and three thousand small worlds.
And she was a young Divine Master, living year-round in the cold Divine Maiden Hall.
Her Divine Master father was very busy managing the three thousand worlds. Bored, she would go to various worlds to experience life.
She never revealed her identity, interacting with people like an ordinary person, yet always maintaining a certain distance from everyone.
Until she met Su Mo.
She began to pursue him from one life to the next. Initially, it was like a game, but later she gradually became invested.
"Then, Ah Ci, do you miss home?" After experiencing so many small worlds, Ye Bai could remain calm about many things. Only when it came to Qiao Ci would he be anxious and worried about everything.
"What if I want to go back?" Qiao Ci hadn't been back for a long time, and if she wanted to have a proper relationship with Ye Bai, she would definitely have to go back. "Are you willing to come back with me?"
Ye Bai nodded heavily at Qiao Ci without hesitation and replied, "Yes."
However, looking at the place where he grew up, he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant, so he quietly asked, "Um, after we go to your world, can we come back again?"
Qiao Ci smiled, as brilliant as summer flowers, "Of course. Whenever you want to come back, I'll bring you back."
"Then let's go now." Ye Bai's eyes lit up. He couldn't wait to go to Qiao Ci's world.
Facing a brand new world, he wasn't afraid at all, because Qiao Ci was there. As long as she was there, he wouldn't be afraid of anything.
"Wait." Qiao Ci looked at Little Spoon in the system space, who was crying like a big fool upon hearing that she was leaving, and a smile curved her lips. "Let's discuss Little Spoon's belonging."
"Little Spoon?" Hearing the name abruptly, Ye Bai didn't react at first. After a moment, he remembered that he had casually made a few systems, and one of them was called Little Spoon.
"Little Spoon, are you willing to come back with me?" Qiao Ci invited Little Spoon.
Little Spoon, who was covering its mouth and crying, was asked and let out a sob. It couldn't believe it, bending its spoon handle and pointing at itself, "Little Spoon can come too?"
"Of course, we are partners." Qiao Ci already considered Little Spoon family.
"Then Little Spoon will go. Little Spoon wants to continue serving Host!" Little Spoon quickly expressed its thoughts and desires.
"Mhm."
Little Spoon belonged to Ye Bai. Ye Bai had the right to give Little Spoon to Qiao Ci. After formally gifting Little Spoon to Qiao Ci, Ye Bai jokingly remarked, "Ah Ci, do you think Little Spoon is my dowry, or my family from my mother's side?"
"Both," Qiao Ci smiled softly, joking with Ye Bai for a rare occasion.
Ye Bai bid farewell to Ye Xuan, intending to leave with Qiao Ci. Ye Xuan was extremely reluctant.
He pulled Ye Bai aside. "Can you be sure she will treat you well forever? Her identity is so powerful, and you are just a mortal. Your life is very short, while she possesses endless years. Do you really intend to leave with her?"
