The lazy afternoon sun fell on their bodies, adding to the languor.
Xia Weiliang leaned on his shoulder, and the two sat together on the steps in the alley, perfectly positioned to admire the terraced landscape below.
After their emotions settled, they began to dissect the entire situation.
First, whether the world they were reborn into or this parallel space were real, they would treat it as a supernatural phenomenon, allowing both of them to possess this unbelievable memory.
Second, since they had returned to reality, this was no longer their domain.
Finally, Xia Weiliang’s purpose in coming here, which the former Xiao Yi might not have understood, was now perfectly clear to the current Xiao Yi.
“So your memory also stopped on that day?”
“Mhm.”
Xiao Yi said, “It’s like a dream. If I asked you now about a dream from a week ago or a month ago, would you still remember it that clearly?”
Xia Weiliang shook her head and said, “So, the longer time passes, the more the memories in my mind will blur.”
This point was different from Xia Weiliang; she could still remember the appearance of anyone who had bullied her.
“Then what are we waiting for! Let’s go check out that ‘Tong Zhou’ factory!”
As she started to leave, he tugged her back, “Before we go, we still need to do some preparation.”
“Preparation for what?”
For a guide, the young Master Shen Xa Shu would suffice. They could head to the village chief’s house soon and drag this child out to lead the way.
“In that world, Han Jianyue invested in ‘Tong Zhou,’ and he was deceived by Xia Yiran into doing so. But here, neither of these two had the opportunity to do this.”
“Oh! That makes sense! So, what next?”
Miss Xia was very eager, her large eyes brimming with curiosity.
He felt a stir of emotion as he looked at her. He raised his hand and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, his voice a little lazy and sending shivers down her spine, “I’ve already looked into it before coming. Tong Zhou is currently in the construction phase and is recruiting workers from the surrounding villages. Liu Family Village doesn’t have a significant advantage in terms of location, and with slower information transmission, they don’t know much about the situation there.”
“I understand!”
Xia Weiliang snapped her fingers, “Everything is still in progress, it’s just that with the absence of those two pushers, the progress has become slow! This means the boss behind the scenes is still here!”
He smiled and ruffled her hair, “Exactly.”
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s stop those villagers and eliminate a scourge for the people!”
“How do we stop them? On the basis of the dreams we had?”
“……”
Xia Weiliang wilted. Seeing the man’s calm and collected demeanor, she leaned closer and asked him suspiciously, “Do you already have a plan?”
He pulled her to her feet, “For the next two days, let’s pretend we’re here on vacation, meeting old friends. Leave the rest to me.”
“You…” Xia Weiliang leaned closer to him, lowering her voice mysteriously, “Did you transmigrate with a mission? If you don’t complete it, will you return to your original world or be erased?!” Sudan Novel Network
Xiao Yi flicked his finger and lightly tapped her forehead, “You read too many transmigration novels!”
After flicking her, he couldn’t help but rub the spot. Because her skin was so fair, even a slight touch would leave a mark.
This reminded him of that night…
He brushed his fingers over her forehead, as if caressing a smooth pearl, his movements tender and lingering, making him want to indulge in fantasies.
Xia Weiliang clearly felt it too. As she looked up into his eyes, she seemed to truly understand.
She also thought of that night.
Her cheeks instantly flushed, and her gaze quickly shifted away.
Xiao Yi curved his lips, his hand slowly resting behind her head, then on her neck, pulling her closer, “What are you thinking about?”
“I’m not thinking about anything!”
To prove her innocence, she feigned a stern tone, “What about you? What are you thinking? That look of mischief!”
Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow and nodded, “Indeed, there is some mischief… because I’m thinking about you, about that night…”
“Cough! Yaozong! Why do you keep losing? What’s going on? Come, sister will take a look! You can’t bully my people!”
Xia Weiliang practically fled in disarray.
“Sister Weiliang~ you’re finally here… They’re cheating! They’re cheating when they play with stickers!”
“What? Do you guys have any humanity? With Yaozong’s brain, you’re still cheating?!”
“Sister Weiliang!”
Behind her, the man’s clear, deep laughter could be heard.

That evening, they checked into the village chief’s small inn.
Comrade Shen Chunhua, the village women’s director, accountant, and health center physician, was as warm and hospitable as ever. She had prepared a table full of food for dinner!
“I haven’t seen any tourists from outside for a long time. Seeing you all makes me feel so refreshed! Come, come, eat more, treat it like your own home. Don’t be polite with your Sister Chunhua~”
Comrade Shen Xia Shu, the village secretary, militia battalion commander, propaganda officer, and veterinarian, sat opposite them with flushed cheeks, not daring to look at Xia Weiliang.
His sister and brother-in-law were not fans and therefore didn’t know, but he was very clear that the two people sitting opposite were a film emperor and a movie star, with tens of millions of fans on Weibo! Suddenly, the arrival of superstars made his humble abode feel radiant!
Xia Weiliang glanced in that direction and then, rummaging in her small bag, pulled out two autographed photos, “Here, for you.”
“For, for me?”
Shen Chunshu took them and looked, and immediately felt as if he were about to ascend, “Sister! Sister! Sister, Sister, Sister, it’s Sister Rong Rong’s autographed photo, it’s Sister Rong Rong!!”
Knowing that this young man liked Shang Rongrong, Xia Weiliang had happened to get a signed photo of Shang Rongrong from the wrap-up party.
Seeing him happily shouting and jumping in the yard, Shen Chunhua looked displeased, “I told you to find a girl you like, but you refused! No matter how beautiful she is, she’s still a celebrity. How can she marry you?”
“Sister, you don’t understand! Sister Rongrong cannot get married! She is meant to be admired alone! Any man would be a desecration to her. No man in this world is worthy of her!”
Xia Weiliang whispered to Xiao Yi, “Brother Nan should hear this. It would make him realize that he’s pursuing a fairy!”
Xiao Yi looked at her, “You are also a fairy.”
She was stunned. Seeing him making a serious joke, Xia Weiliang burst into laughter, “God Yi, don’t tease me! Can fairies be sold in bulk?”
His large hand cupped her chin and gently swayed it back and forth, “In my eyes, you are a fairy, and I will not accept any arguments.”
Xia Weiliang lowered her eyes and smiled contentedly, “Then… alright, whatever you say goes.”
The three men beside them all shivered, especially Liu Yaozong, who was still not used to it.
Yan Zhi, with great loyalty, patted him on the shoulder, “It’s okay, this is minor. You’ll know later, these two are truly sickeningly sweet when they’re being affectionate!”
Liu Yaozong nodded solemnly and looked at him, “So, you still don’t have a girlfriend?”
Before Yan Zhi could reply, Da Yang answered for him, “Brother Zhi went on a blind date, but he talked too much and too much, so the girl didn’t like him.”
Yan Zhi glared at him with a red face, “Who spread that rumor?!”
“My cousin!”
“What does your cousin have to do with your blind date?”
“Your blind date was my cousin!”
“…Come here, brother, do you want to eat shrimp? Brother will peel it for you!”
