After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

“Being a mother is certainly hard work…” She hugged Shi Yan’s slender shoulders tightly.

However, because her body is still too weak, Shiya's idea of ​​a tight hug is, in Shiyan's opinion, excessively gentle.

"Hmm." Shi Yan sighed softly, "Anyway..."

"Aunt Ya Ya no longer needs to worry about that demonic cultivator."

Shi Yan withdrew his right hand from Shi Ya's bosom.

The sleeve slid down the girl's soft skin, and Shi Yan waved his wrist in front of Shi Ya, "'Heartstrings'..."

It's been solved.

Shiya looked at the girl's fair wrist, and then subconsciously raised her own right hand.

The silk thread wrapped around the right hand.

The threads connecting the heart...

I don't know when it disappeared.

Will the joy that follows be?

No.

On the contrary... what follows is emptiness.

Shiya seemed to have already foreseen the outcome of Shiyan's departure.

A multitude of thoughts flashed through the woman's mind in a daze.

for example--

I'm going to be all alone again.

In this family of teachers who are overly enthusiastic about her, a group of people who care about her always bring up the topic of marriage during holidays.

But unlike in the past—

This time... I even feel ashamed to show my face.

The situation of one's own death would probably become fodder for gossip among one's sisters-in-law to "bully" them.

But... the only girl who could possibly comfort him had no reason to stay by his side after the incident was completely over.

In that instant.

Shiya even had thoughts like, "It's time to leave the Shi family."

Shi Yan sensed the woman's depressed mood.

She raised her head and then gently took the woman's right hand in her own.

I originally intended to get some rest.

But... for some reason, my heart softened when I saw the woman looking like she couldn't do anything.

The two held hands, and Shi Yan gently stroked the back of Shi Ya's hand.

The overlapping touch of their skin, the memory so vivid, made Shiya hold her breath.

Shi Yan dawdled.

He shifted his body slightly upwards, until he was facing Shiya directly.

You could feel... Shiya's breathless breathing, which seemed to make the woman's cheeks burn.

Seemingly unwilling to let Shi Yan see her blushing, Shi Ya tried to turn her head to look at the ceiling.

Shi Yan pressed his other hand against Shi Ya's face.

"Aunt Ya Ya...what are you thinking about?"

"...without."

"It doesn't look like anything's wrong."

"Really...it's nothing..." He didn't know what strange switch he had pressed, but the obedient girl who had just been nestled in his arms suddenly seemed to become extremely aggressive.

Why...?

With her eyes darting around in a panic, Shiya felt she couldn't look Ayan in the eye.

Clang, clang—

My heart is racing.

On the contrary... at the same time that feeling arises.

It seems that the empty spaces in my heart have been filled.

Shi Yan hugged Shi Ya, and Shi Ya felt the girl's burning body temperature, her heart was filled with a whirlwind of emotions, like flowers blooming everywhere.

Then...a girl's murmur suddenly reached my ears.

"Aunt Ya Ya's heart is beating so fast..."

"Is the 'heart-binding thread' still untied?"

"No...it's..." Shiya answered with difficulty, not wanting the girl to worry.

His body subconsciously guided his eyes to look at the girl, and then... their eyes met.

As if under some strange spell, Shiya felt her mind go completely blank, and steam seemed to be rising from the top of her head. By then, it was too late to look away.

"Aunt Ya Ya's face... is so hot."

The soft murmurs and the girl's hand on her face made Shiya's heart tense up. The strange feeling was amplified and expanded in her limbs by the way the girl addressed her.

"Do not..."

"Hmm?" Shi Yan leaned closer to Shi Ya's face, as if trying to hear what Shi Ya was saying.

The woman gripped Shi Yan's hand involuntarily, letting out a mournful cry similar to that of the socially devastated scene from before. Shi Ya closed her eyes and replied, "Don't call me Aunt Ya Ya anymore..."

"I'm just... I'm just staying at my master's house temporarily."

"and..."

"and..."

"Aunt Ya Ya?" With a smile playing on her lips, Shi Yan seemed to have discovered something strange that really appealed to Shi Ya.

"Well..."

"Aunt Ya Ya~"

"No, don't call me that..."

“Okay, Aunt Ya Ya~” Shi Yan said with a mischievous smile, “I know, Aunt Ya Ya.”

“Eek…” came a rather cute sound from Shiya’s mouth.

The air seemed to fall silent.

Shiya trembled slightly, sensing the sudden silence and the girl's completely silent breathing, a fierce spark ignited within her.

She opened her eyes and saw the girl's smiling face pressed close to hers.

"Whoa!!!" Shiya's body jerked as if in a knee-jerk reaction.

Without giving Shiya a chance to continue struggling, Shiyan hugged her tightly.

"So..."

"What would you like me to call Aunt Ya Ya?"

The name that made Shiya flustered echoed in her ears again and again, and... in such a beautiful tone.

"Yaya~"

"Or...Aya?"

Shiya's hands clenched tightly.

"Aya, you can't~" Shi Yan's eyes seemed to smile even to Shi Ya. "If you call Ya Ya Auntie Aya..."

Shi Yan said something that Shi Ya couldn't understand, "Some naughty guys will get angry."

Shiya thought Shiyan was talking about her parents.

"Didn't Ayan say... being a mother is very hard?" She wanted to offer some further advice.

Then, she saw Shi Yan propping his cheek up and staring at her.

dong dong——

My heart felt like it was racing.

For the first time, Shiya felt... that there could be a girl who looked so beautiful and cute.

He clearly has a mischievous look on his face.

But it makes you feel so safe.

I want to do more for her.

Even if...even if...Shiya gripped Shiyan's hand tightly, "Let's just call you by your original name..."

When she said that, it was as if she had given up on something, and her body seemed to collapse.

"I see." Shi Yan nodded earnestly. "Oh, right..."

"I also want to give one to Aunt Ya Ya."

"Heartstrings" is a poisonous Gu that Ran Menghuan enhanced after she had lost all her cultivation.

After being completely absorbed by Yunshang, it was returned to Shiyan.

Although it cannot be unfolded again, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was created out of thin air.

However, helping Shiya break through to the Spirit Realm shouldn't be a problem.

However, Shi Yan was not keen on forcing things to grow too quickly.

If we slowly give this gift to Aunt Ya Ya... it will solidify her foundation considerably.

However... if you pay in installments, the number of handovers will increase significantly.
