Chapter 186 Accompany You Here

After saying goodbye to Mr. Zhongli and several people in the main house, Lin Huan turned around and was about to leave with Ye Qi. Suddenly, a familiar shout came from a distance. The voice was like a sharp sword, piercing the quiet air and stopping the aunt and niece who were just about to leave.

"Ah Huan..." It was his father's voice! Lin Huan stopped, turned around, and headed towards the source of the sound.

As expected, the person in front of him was none other than Master Hu. At this moment, his smile was as bright as a blooming spring flower, and he stood steadily beside Mr. Zhongli with a cane in his hand. His eyes fell on Lin Huan, and they were filled with endless love and deep expectation, like two blazing flames, hot and bright.

"Oh, look at my memory. I almost forgot to tell you, Ah Huan, your father's birthday is in two days. Then, you must not forget to bring everyone back home. Your father will be waiting for you to return home." The old master Hu spoke in a gentle tone, and his words revealed his care and entrustment to Lin Huan.

"I will! Dad, wait until we get home!"

Hearing her father's words, Lin Huan's eyes lit up instantly, like the bright stars in the night sky. She nodded vigorously, turned around and smiled brightly at her father... Then, she waved to Master Hu, and turned around and walked out the door with Ye Qi.

In a room on the third floor of Wangshu Inn... Little Hu Lanze was leaning quietly against the bed, staring at the sleepy little girl with purple hair on the bed. He held her hand tightly, feeling the cold, unliving temperature of her palm, and his heart was filled with endless worry and fear.

This feeling was like a sharp knife ruthlessly cutting his heart, making him suffer unbearably. He could clearly feel that if he did not take action, his good friend might leave him forever. And his father, who had been guarding Qiqi here for a whole day and night, was exhausted physically and mentally, and was persuaded by him to go to rest. Before going to bed, his father also specifically told Ajin's sister to rush back to Liyue Port as soon as possible and ask his aunt who was capable of solving this dilemma to come. She should be on the way back, right?

It was still afternoon, but the sky was gloomy, just like Xiao Lan's mood at the moment. This was the first time in his life, the first time he was so anxious, sitting at someone's bedside, helplessly waiting for a result he didn't want to think about, and a possible miracle.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the room became eerily quiet. Only Hu Lan Ze held Qiqi's hand tightly and prayed silently.

At this time, the person on the bed opened his eyes, rubbed his eyes stiffly, and looked over.

"Who... are you?" Qiqi's voice was very soft, and a little sleepy.

The little boy almost cried. He held his friend's hand tightly and said anxiously.

"Qiqi, you don't remember us again...right? I am Xiaolan! Qiqi has been with my aunt and me, living together in the Hall of Rebirth for five years...Qiqi..."

There was another warm hand behind her, pressing Xiao Lan's shoulder. Ye Jin's voice was clear, yet reassuring, echoing behind her.

"Don't worry, Xiaolan brother, isn't Qiqi awake? Don't panic."

“…Brother…” Xiao Lan whispered, then slowly loosened her friend’s hand that had hurt her.

"Brother...I'm scared..."

"Don't be afraid." Ye Jin whispered, his tone was calm and firm, as if there was a reassuring power. He raised his left hand, and on his wrist was a light blue jade bracelet emitting a faint fluorescent light. The light was soft and bright, like a bright star in the night sky.

Ye Jin gently turned his wrist to make the fluorescence of the jade bracelet more conspicuous, and then showed it to Xiao Lan. There was a hint of tenderness and comfort in his eyes.

"Brother Xiaolan, look, this jade bracelet is called 'Youqi Wrist Lan'. It is a small magic tool passed down in our family. The other one is worn on my sister's wrist... The two jade bracelets are connected to each other and can be used to transmit some simple information. My sister told me through it that she and my aunt are on their way back to Wangshu Inn."

Ye Jin paused and continued, "And, as far as I know, they have passed Guiliyuan and will be here soon. So, brother Xiaolan, you don't have to be afraid at all. With my sister and aunt here, there is nothing that can't be solved." His voice was full of confidence and determination, which gradually dispelled the fear and uneasiness in Lan Ze's heart.

Lan Ze looked at the jade bracelet flashing with fluorescence in his brother's hand, with a hint of curiosity and surprise in his eyes. His originally tense body gradually relaxed, as if he was comforted by Ye Jin's words. Ye Jin gently patted his brother's shoulder and comforted him again: "Xiao Lan, believe me, everything will be fine. Now, we just need to wait patiently for our aunt to come."

However, in the corner where no one's eyes had ever touched, Xiao Jin's eyes also dimmed quietly... It was an indescribable sadness, as if an invisible force deep in his heart was devouring his happiness and hope. He stood there silently, holding a secret in his heart that he could not tell - this secret could only be told to his brother in person when his aunt returned.

The good friend who had always been by his side and shared the ups and downs with him, the friend who had always supported and encouraged him... The friendship between them was extremely deep, but at this moment, Xiao Jin had to face the reality: this beautiful friendship might only go so far. The road ahead was long and rugged, and they had to go forward alone.

However, this was not a farewell forever, nor did it mean that they would never see each other again... It was just that from this moment on, they would embark on their own different life trajectories, and in their short lives as mortals, which were as fleeting as a shooting star, they might never have the chance to wait for their reunion with her.
