Salt woman and white lotus

Chi Qinggu returned to the study with two materials, flipped through to find the information he needed, and continued editing on the page.He is writing a business plan, and there is his work permit on the table. It is a company that Chi Zhongying is very unfamiliar with, and his status is not low.

She knew he was very smart, since he was a child.

Seeing him concentrating on his work, Chi Zhongying felt emotional: that arrogant and clingy little Douding had grown up before she knew it.

What she sees through the realm of time is her own past and future, and everything in front of her is probably what she can see when she returns home.Chi Qinggu couldn't see her, was it because something happened to her in the future on the way home, and she only went back to the projection of consciousness?

There was a knock on the door, and after "Come in", a child in a dress and ponytails pushed open the door, poked his head in and said, "Brother, it's time to eat."

"I ate before I came back, let's go." He said lightly.

"Oh. Then I'll bring you some snacks. Don't stay up late today, go to bed early."

"Wait a minute."

"Ah?" The child who was about to leave paused.

Seeing this child, Chi Zhongying felt an unspeakable love in her heart.

This is her sister?

Chi Qinggu turned around and saw the fluffy gauze skirt at the door, showing a complicated expression.

"You really like being a girl so much?"

The pair of ponytails put on a cute smile, "...the dress is pretty, isn't it?"

"...Forget it. It's your own choice, so I don't need to meddle in my own business."

Chi Zhongying: "..."

She pinched the root of her nose and felt that she needed to digest the fact that this was a younger brother.

Followed my younger brother downstairs, my mother and...another younger brother were sitting in the dining room on the first floor.

Zhong Huaying hasn't changed much compared to ten years ago. Now she is 44 years old, and she is still in full bloom. There are few traces of time on her face, and she even has long curly hair with a light gray gradient and brown golden color in a very trendy way.

"Xiao Jun, is he still busy?"

"Well, brother, he said he had dinner before he came back."

"Hey, this kid is always so strong, just talk to his father, he insists on starting his own company..."

"My brother is amazing."

Chi Zhongying looked at another child who looked very similar to his younger brother with two ponytails, and was out of his mind.

Mom was pregnant with twins?She hadn't heard of it. Dad didn't tell them at that time.But the soft and waxy child is really cute...

"My older brothers and sisters are the best! Mom, don't worry, the second brother will take care of himself."

The two people at the dining table chatted, and the younger brother with two ponytails greeted him, and went to the kitchen to skillfully take out the pudding that had been prepared and kept warm in the oven.

The goat's milk pudding made in a large bowl was tender and tender. He scooped out a large piece and put it on the plate, added some cold cakes and pastries, put them on the tray and rushed upstairs.

He knocked on the door and brought the tray in, "Brother, if you don't want to eat, eat less and put it on. Health comes first."

"Yeah." The stern look on Chi Qinggu's face finally faded, and he patted the head of his younger brother with two ponytails, "Go and eat quickly."

Chi Zhongying felt sorry for Chi Qinggu.He is always so desperate that he doesn't listen to anyone's persuasion.

After watching him busy here for a while, Chi Zhongying went downstairs again.

Three people at the table are chatting.

"Mom, is your art exhibition starting soon?"

"Yes, about the beginning of next month, do you want to come with me? I don't seem to have taken you to country A, so you can travel."

"I won't do it," said the younger brother with two ponytails. "I still have something to do. Mom, you can just take your younger brother."

"Yeah, Xiaoying, you have a piano competition on August [-]th..." Zhong Huaying was a little distressed, "It's a pity, I just informed that the schedule has changed, and a big man wants to talk to me about business, and he won't be back until the [-]th , I can’t be there to support you.”

Chi Zhongying suddenly felt creepy.Xiaoying?This must not be her, who is it?Twin ponytail brother?

"It's okay! I've grown up!" The twin-tailed brother patted his chest.Obviously, Xiaoying in her mouth refers to him.

"Afterwards, I urged your father to accompany you. He has been busy with several projects for almost a month. You have to make time for something as important as your piano competition."

"Don't bother Dad, I'm fine with myself." He smiled sweetly.

After dinner, brother Yao went to the community park to play with his friends, and brother with two ponytails watched TV with his mother.

Chi Zhongying found the room of her two younger brothers.

In the small villa, the children live on the second floor. From the piano room on the first and second floors on the east side, the first room is Chi Zhongying's room.

She hesitated for a moment, and walked in through the door.

Time seems to be frozen here for eternity, the display in the room has not changed much from when she left, and the calendar stays on the page of August 2007.

Changes exist, such as the paper of the calendar has faded a bit.No matter how hard you try, no one can stop her from disappearing.

Searching from room to room, she quickly found the rooms of the two younger brothers, whose rooms were next to each other.

Brother Yao's name is Chi Xuhuai, unlike his eldest sister and second brother, he didn't show any genius ability, his grades were barely above the top, but he was very happy.

Chi Zhongying felt offended and searched the room.

There is not much valuable content, this is just an ordinary little boy's room.

Primary school students wrote down various things such as going to play, eating delicious food, new games, etc.The ones with the highest frequency are his elder brother and "sister".

Among them, "sister" is even worse.

On Tuesday, my sister took the first grade in the exam; this week, my sister made a delicious apple pie; my parents were not at home, and my sister secretly cooked me a super delicious barbecue; my brother celebrated that my sister won another prize, and took us to Amusement park for a day...

After flipping through it, I found that besides knowing that "Xiaoying" brother is very good, there is also no useful information.

Chi Zhongying went to "Xiaoying"'s room again.

She couldn't figure out why her parents would give her brother such a name.Don't you think it's awkward and scary to have the same name as your dead eldest daughter?

Unlike Yaodi, "Xiaoying"'s room layout is very feminine.Chi Zhongying couldn't help suspecting that this younger brother was not a transvestite, but a transgender.

The year Chi Zhongying left, the country had just passed legislation related to the third gender.She does not discriminate against minorities, and has experienced the baptism of all kinds of weird genders in the Yunshu world. She has a good ability to accept this, and she doesn't think there is anything to say.

There are all kinds of books on the bookshelf of "Xiaoying", covering a wide range of topics.

From the culinary skills that she had expected, to the unsophisticated but reasonable finance and carpentry in a family whose parents are entrepreneurs and artists, to philosophy, computers, Chinese medicine... A nine-year-old child can really understand these ?

The exercise booklet on his desk is from the first grade of junior high school, maybe he skipped a grade.

There is also a photo frame on the corner of the table, in which is him holding a birthday cake.The child smiled shyly and happily.

Chi Zhongying recognized it for a long time, and saw that it read "Happy Birthday to Xiaoying" written in red jam.

Oh, Xiaoying, not Xiaoying.

Chi Zhongying felt relieved.Except that she is special as the first child and has dual meanings, the names of the other children should be in the same series.Purity of bones and humility are all admonitions from the ancestors of the Chi family.Xiaoying's name is roughly the same, probably Yunying and others.

I looked around the room and found nothing useful.She went to her parents' room to look again, and there was not much change from when she left.

Chi Zhongying left home.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening, and she was standing by the river with a dazed expression.

She died in this river at the beginning.There are many people walking along the river on a midsummer night. After the planning, people are allowed to swim in the waters that enter the water, and further away, there are fishing enthusiasts in twos and threes.

The bridge where she had an accident had a new traffic plan, and it is no longer so prone to car accidents.

This projection of consciousness began to become unstable, and she probably had to go back.

It has only been ten years since she left, and the world has become a little strange.In fact, she had expected that even if she came back to this world, she would just take a quick look at it like a passer-by.She is not used to this way of life.

This place no longer belongs to her, she has taken root in another world.

Children will always leave the arms of their parents, she just left a little early, and the way of leaving is too tragic for them.

Chi Zhongying blew the river wind for a long time, and slowly closed her eyes.

Opening it again, she "returned" to the world of Yunshu.

"How is it?" Bai Yan's gentle voice sounded beside her, and Chi Zhongying found that she was lying in her arms at some point, "It's the first time to absorb the power of time, is there any discomfort?"

Chi Zhongying checked her physical condition carefully, and replied, "No."

"It's fine if you don't have one." Baiyan heaved a sigh of relief, "What did you see?"

"I saw the future, I went back to my home in a kind of consciousness projection, and I saw what my home would look like ten years after my death."

"What is it like?"

"Well, they are doing well. Dad is still very busy, and my mother's art exhibition has gone to the international stage. Although my younger brother is only 19 years old, he has become independent from the family and has his own business..."

Chi Zhongying counted the past one by one, talked about her family, her two younger brothers who had never met, and the changes in her world...

"I think I probably won't be able to go back. I have a vague premonition that I did my best to research that projection. According to the time flow rate of the two worlds I estimated, when I actually make something, I will When the entity returns to that world, my parents will be in their sixties or seventies."

At that time, her appearance would only increase the shock. They already had their own lives and adapted to the world without her.

It was enough that she knew her family was doing well.

"It doesn't have to be part of it to have a happy ending. That's fine."

Bai Yan was stunned, "Aren't you going back?"

Chi Zhongying turned over slightly, and buried her face in the hollow of her shoulder, "Of course I still want to go back, but I don't think there is any need to be in a hurry, they are doing well, just see how they are doing once in a while.

"As for traveling back and staying there to continue my life as Chi's family daughter... that's completely unnecessary. Don't talk about anything else, I can't bear to leave you behind."

As she spoke, she raised her head and kissed Bai Yan's chin.

Bai Yan's eyes were full of starlight, she hugged her, smiled and responded to her kiss.

The author has something to say:

Let me emphasize again that Chi Zhongying's world is another fictional world, not our three-dimensional real world, and social development is different from reality.
