Chapter 427 424 My Girl
"This is impossible!"

Ahead, the winged lion inside the phone scrutinized the boy who had suddenly appeared behind the unconscious girl. Comparing him to the boy in its memory, it displayed a remarkably human-like expression of horror.
"You're not Yan Huan from this timeline?! But... how could you have traveled through time with the host of the ring finger?! In this entire world, only she could have done something like that, and you couldn't possibly have!!"

Yan Huan didn't reply, she just looked at Bai Yi, who was completely unconscious in her arms.

But she was pursing her lips and frowning uneasily, as if she couldn't even sleep peacefully, making a sound like a lark as she chewed on her food.

"Yan Yan Huan"

"."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan hugged her tighter, then looked up again at the direction of her index finger.
"But I did it."

"!!"

The winged lion formed from the index finger twitched violently, but the next second it suddenly turned fierce, and the entire phone emitted a purple glow.

"That's fine too, since you and the host of the ring finger are both going to die here anyway!"

"Buzz!"

As the eerie light enveloped the entire beach, everything fell silent once more.
Immediately, the index finger breathed a sigh of relief and gave the order to Tong Yingying.

"Alright, give me Bai Yi."

But the words got stuck in his throat before he could say them.

Because right in front of her, Yan Huan was still looking at it expressionlessly, completely unaffected by the hypnotic effect.

"How is this possible?! You actually became the host of the thumb?! But we only choose female hosts!"

Seeing that its efforts were futile, the index finger instinctively felt fear and remembered its most stern father among the five fingers:
Thumbs up!
Yan Huan felt that the index finger in this "if" scenario wasn't as smart as the one in the main world, and actually mistook her for the host of the thumb.

"Could it be that in your timeline, you underwent gender reassignment surgery?"

"go to hell!"

At first, he almost laughed at Shizhi's impotent rage, but as he listened, he couldn't laugh anymore.

His face darkened, and he immediately raised his finger.

Seeing this, the index finger immediately shouted.
"Tong Yingying!"

However, as soon as it opened its mouth, Yan Huan gripped a toad-shaped amulet in her hand with a cold expression.

The object in your palm is a toad amulet; its effect is to allow you to teleport once!
His face was instantly covered by a terrifying shadow, and in the blink of an eye, he had appeared in front of Shizhi, holding Baiyi in his arms.

"Roar!!"

Sensing Yan Huan approaching, the index finger opened its blood-red maw with a ferocious expression, instinctively trying to tear Yan Huan's modifier apart.

But Yan Huan raised her finger condescendingly and pointed it at the unconscious Elvira beside her.

A fireball was brewing at his fingertips.

"Think it over. Do you believe I can make you switch hosts right now?"

"Meow?"

Seeing this, the index finger was greatly alarmed and retorted,
"She's your wife's mother!"

"I'm not from this timeline!"

Upon hearing this, the index finger widened its eyes, immediately stopped breathing on itself, and obediently squatted down in place.

"I was wrong, Lord Yan Huan."

At this moment, not only did the dangerous light that had been flashing on the phone stop, but even the hypnotized people in the distance turned back into wooden figures.

"Crack!"

Yan Huan stepped on the phone on her index finger and then asked,

"Tell me everything you know about the causality bomb!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Zhi's eyes immediately flashed, and he looked at Yan Huan with a face full of fear.
"The causality bomb is the ring finger's ultimate weapon; once it explodes, the entire world is finished."

Yan Huan had already guessed most of this. With a sour face, he stomped on the phone even harder.

"Don't just tell me what I already know. I need more detailed information, like how to solve it?"

"Kill her! That's the only way!"

The index finger widened its eyes and said earnestly,

"Besides, haven't you always been trying to solve the modifier problem? The conditions for the ring finger to choose a host are extremely strict; there might only be one suitable one like Bai Yi in a thousand years."
"In other words, as long as you kill her, the ring finger will never have another host! That's equivalent to a complete solution, isn't that good?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan narrowed her eyes.

He held the warm girl in his arms, lowered his eyes, and the murderous intent in his eyes intensified.
"I don't believe it."

Meanwhile, listening to Yan Huan's terrifying threat over the phone, Shizhi blinked, then whispered,

"Of course, there might be another way."

"?"

"Come closer, I'll tell you."

"."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan remained silent.

After a moment of silence, he sighed and shook his head.

"Index Finger, you're much dumber than you were with Sister Poetry, you know that?"

"Meow?"

The index finger paused slightly, while Yan Huan instantly took a step back.
Following the moonlight, the phone screen reflected the image of Tong Yingying, who had appeared silently behind Yan Huan, raising a butcher's knife.

"boom!"

Before the blade could even be raised, Yan Huan kicked the phone away with a sudden stomp.

Immediately, Yan Huan raised her long-awaited finger and aimed it at the phone in mid-air the instant the cold light behind her rose.

"boom!!"

A deafening roar erupted, and the phone was completely engulfed in dazzling brilliance. Everyone on the beach who had been hypnotized instantly lost control and collapsed to the ground.

"thump."

"."

Yan Huan remained standing there, her brows furrowed, holding Bai Yi without uttering a word.

“Whoa. Whoa.”

He only came to his senses when the cold waves crashed against his feet and the moonlight bathed the abandoned factory.

He glanced back at the unconscious Sakura Miyako, Tong Yingying, You Anlina, and Elvira, his eyes slightly lowered.

The moonlight over Linmen was cool tonight, but the few who were fast asleep were unaware of it.

Perhaps it was because Yan Huan helped Bai Yi to bed and covered them with blankets when she left.

Meanwhile, the previously abandoned villa area in Beihai District remains intact.

Among them is the building that Bai Yi had previously chosen to rent.

On the second floor, the girl who had been sleeping soundly without consciousness was just put down by Yan Huan.

This place looked much older than reality, and the floor was covered in dust, so Yan Huan originally planned to tidy it up after putting Bai Yi down.
"woo"

But to everyone's surprise, Bai Yi, who had been carried all the way here, started whimpering as soon as she was put on the bed, as if she had separation anxiety.

Although she was still asleep, sadness tinged her beautiful face. Her little face scrunched up in a pout, and with her eyes closed, she groped for Yan Huan's hand, which was retreating from her.
"No, don't go. Waaah."

Seeing this, Yan Huan's heart softened, and she stopped trying to leave, reaching out to hold her soft hand again.

Strangely enough, when she held my hand tightly, her sleepy expression instantly lost its unease, replaced by a strange sense of peace.

"."

Holding her cold little hand, Yan Huan felt a sense of peace welling up inside her.

However, this heartwarming scene didn't last long. The relief on Bai Yi's face gradually turned into grievance and sadness, and she couldn't help but call out.

"Yan Huan. Yan Huan"

"."

Yan Huan worried about the risk of her waking up. The current timeline had already been thrown into turmoil by their actions; if Bai Yi from the past were to realize she came from the future, even greater disaster would ensue. But at this moment…
Seeing her unease and helplessness, Yan Huan couldn't bear it in the end.

So he lowered his head and agreed to Bai Yi's request.
"I'm here, Bai Yi."

In Yan Huan's golden eyes, the timeline remained unchanged, maintaining a fragile stability.
Just like the fragile yet perpetually unawakened nightmare of the girl before me.

"woooooo"

Upon hearing Yan Huan's voice, she immediately began to sob in her dream, feeling wronged.

She snuggled into Yan Huan's arms like a clingy person who had been separated from her for a long time.

Yan Huan was slightly taken aback, but she leaned back and got onto the bed, letting her hug her and press her face against her chest.

As her heart pounded faster, Yan Huan heard Bai Yi's incoherent sleep-talking.
"Waaaa, Yan Huan, you're finally back! You have no idea how much effort I put in to save you. Waaaaah..."

"I know."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan couldn't help but raise her hand and stroke her hair along her back.

Only she knew that he had been by her side all this time, watching everything she had just done.

"But no matter what I do, I can't do it the same way as that day."

"."

She sobbed and mumbled something indistinctly in his arms, and Yan Huan listened silently, stroking her long hair.

"You haven't even confessed your feelings to me yet, and we're not even together. How could this happen?"

Isn't it the same the other way around?

He hadn't yet personally expressed his gratitude to her for running to rescue him that night, and he hadn't yet personally apologized for deceiving her all this time.
He hadn't yet personally expressed his feelings to her.
Why did she just disappear like that?

Why does everything currently indicate that her inevitable disappearance is the reason?

"."

Thinking of this, Yan Huan couldn't help but feel breathless.

At this moment, even the sleeping girl in his arms seemed to feel the same emotions.

Unlike Yan Huan's silence, she was, after all, optimistic.
Even though each time it ends with a "clown" ending, the next time, she will still comfort herself with tears in her eyes.

"It's okay. There's definitely a way. There's definitely a way to save you, my Yan Huan."
"Things will definitely return to normal, and I'll definitely hear your confession when everything is over."
"with me"
"Together."

As she murmured this, a single tear slid down her cheek.

At this moment, in Yan Huan's warm embrace, Bai Yi's eyelashes trembled slightly, her pink lips parted slightly, urging her breathing to return to calm.
She irresponsibly tossed these emotional words to Yan Huan, then slipped into her dreams.

But Yan Huan was, after all, an irresponsible guy; otherwise, he wouldn't have lied to her so many times.

Therefore, Yan Huan didn't care.

Or the opposite
This time, he didn't want to be the irresponsible bad guy.

"Yes, there must be a way."

Looking at the sleeping girl, Yan Huan gently held her shoulders and hugged her tightly, inch by inch.

He lowered his eyes and lifted Bai Yi's bangs.
Immediately, he couldn't resist lowering his head and kissing the corner of her tearful eye.
Then came her pale cheeks and reddened nose.

Finally, there were her slightly parted lips.

"Well"

After that gentle kiss, Yan Huan rested her forehead against hers.

Their foreheads shared warmth, and their touching noses outlined the contours of their loved ones.
At this moment, Yan Huan confessed her true feelings to Bai Yi for the first time.

I love you, my girl.

"buzz"

"Well"

Bai Yi vaguely remembered feeling physically tired and mentally heavy, but...
There's always a very comfortable and pleasant feeling.

Enjoying a peaceful summer evening, she lay on the deserted beach, basking in the gentle warmth of the sand.

A spacious, warm feeling enveloped her soft body, allowing her to run freely in a cotton candy-like dream.
Along with this feeling, she had one of her few pleasant dreams.

It seems she doesn't have many beautiful dreams.

Most nights, I either don't dream at all, or I have nightmares.

In the nightmare, there were her own mother, the director of the show she disliked, and the audience members pointing and whispering.
But after meeting Yan Huan, she had her first beautiful dream.

For the first time, she dreamed that Yan Huan, sitting in the audience, was cheering her on as her fan.

For the first time, she dreamed that she had a successful career and had gotten rid of the mother who had always made her suffer.

Last night was also the first time she had ever dreamed of it.
I dreamt that I successfully rescued Yan Huan and returned to my normal life.

Then, he confessed his true feelings to her, saying that he liked her and called her "his girl".
"Wu Yan. Yan Huan"

Thinking of this, a sweet smile inevitably appeared on her face.

Until the first rays of morning sunlight touched her face.

"Hmm? Yan Yan Huan?"

Bai Yi curled up, her consciousness awakened, but her body still chasing after the fading dream.

On the soft bed, she closed her eyes and reached out her hands, groping around, trying to grasp her lover's warm hand.
However, after searching around, they found nothing.

"Ok?"

Bai Yi patted the bed blankly, then immediately opened her eyes, looked around, and belatedly realized:

That was just a dream.

"Yan Huan."

She sat on the bed, looking lost, and murmured those words softly.

But the next second, she grabbed her slightly messy hair from the morning and looked puzzled.
"Wait, wait, wait. I didn't... I didn't do this or that last night, and then... Wow! I'm still alive?!"

She touched her body in disbelief, and after confirming that she was still there, she blinked.

"Of course, meow."

The next second, Yan Ye's soft voice came from behind.

Upon hearing the voice, even the slow-witted Bai Yi realized who had helped her.

"Yanye, it's you! Yes, you know what?! I had an amazing dream last night!"

Bai Yi, so carefree, even though she just went through a life-or-death situation last night, the first thing she talked about in high spirits was still the beautiful dream she hadn't quite finished last night.
"I dreamt that Yan Huan hugged me last night and told me..."

However, when she turned around and saw the white cat that was always by her side, she couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

Because behind him, bathed in the bright sunlight of the next day, the white cat stayed obediently, staring straight at him.
It's just a cocky white cat, but I don't know why.
Looking into his eyes, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat, as if her soul had been tugged at by his gaze.

"What's wrong, meow?"

"."

It wasn't until Yan Ye pressed for more details that Bai Yi blinked and came to her senses.

She smiled, held up one finger, and boasted to the kitten with a very smug air.
"I dreamt that Yan Huan confessed to me, saying that she would only love me for the rest of her life and would be my fan for life!"
"They even said they'd get married after graduation, have a super big wedding, and a round-the-world honeymoon."
"Oh, right, he's also going to buy me a huge wedding ring, and then..."

Upon hearing this, the white cat's already complicated expression grew increasingly dark.

Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and slapped her across the face.
"He can only be a ghost cat by saying all that!!"

"Huh? It really is Yan Ye!! I swear!"

"hehe."

"Speaking of which, Yan Ye, how did you save me yesterday? Could you beat that index finger?"

"Of course, meow, I'm a master of love."

"Huh? What does this have to do with dating gurus?"

"Talkative meow!"
