Restricted fantasy invasion

Chapter 416 Secret
"Well"

Yan Huan recognized the origin of the "if" line, and her eyes lit up as she looked at her phone. Meanwhile, Bai Yi, who had calmed down a bit, finally came out of the bathroom.

Her face was pale, clearly indicating that the accelerated passage of time had taken a heavy toll on her body.

Even so, she leaned against the wall, looking around warily, and asked,
"Yan Ye, what kind of 'what if' scenario is this? Is it safe?"

"Don't worry, meow. I checked, this place is very safe, a perfect 'if' line. Maybe we can even get some good stuff, meow."

Yan Huan stood next to her phone, her eyes now filled with the frames full of crab coins and crab medicine displayed in the basement of Linmen.

"Hmm, it looks like we're in the Dragon Kingdom? That's so far away!"
"!!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan, who was overjoyed, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.

His tail wagged, and he remembered that he had traveled by plane with Bai Yi from this IF line when he was in Linmen. She was having a concert in China!
But that's still a lot of crab coins.
Yan Huan felt as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly, so she turned her head away and pretended to say something unintentionally.
"Then let's buy tickets back to Linmenmiao. It only takes four or five hours to get there from here, right?"

"Hmm, that's acceptable."

Bai Yi picked up a bottle of mineral water, took a sip, and then picked up her phone.

Upon opening it, I saw her and Yan Huan's wedding photo.

"Oh my god! I'm already married to Yan Huan here?!"

Bai Yi's eyes immediately lit up, and she instantly shook off the nausea and became alert.

Damn!

It seems this timeline is an "if" scenario where I win big!

"Oh dear, there's a concert reminder on my memo. Looks like it: I'll achieve great success and win Yan Huan's heart. For such an important moment, Yan Huan will definitely come with me, right?"

As she said this, Bai Yi couldn't help but reach out and cup her face in her hands, murmuring,

"I was singing on stage, and he was cheering from below amidst countless cheers. No one noticed how often we would exchange glances. Ah, how romantic!"

"."

Yan Huan didn't reply, but instead reached out and nudged her, reminding her...
"Book a flight back to Linmen, Meow"

"Wait a minute, what if I and Yan Huan are already married? What if he wants me tonight?"

Bai Yi's eyes widened, and then she suddenly realized this possibility.

She nervously held her phone, praying as if she were worshipping a Buddha.

"I haven't done that yet. No matter what, the 'what if' scenarios are just fiction. At least it has to be after I save Yan Huan, then he confesses to me, we go on a date, and then on an anniversary."

"Book a plane ticket, meow!"

"Ugh, you're so noisy, Yanye!"

Having his fantasy interrupted time and again, Bai Yi's face darkened, and he punched Yan Huan again without any hesitation.

"."

Yan Huan's face darkened after taking another punch from Bai Yi, and she wished she could snatch Bai Yi's phone and order it herself.

But soon, he came up with a solution.

"Why don't you take a look? Is there any sign that someone else is staying in this room? Yan Huan didn't even come here!"

"Hey?"

Looking around, Bai Yi realized it was true.

Helpless, with Yan Huan popping the pink bubble above her head, she could only grumble angrily at Yan Huan in the "if" scenario while searching for a flight booking app on her phone.

"Hmph, that scumbag! They're married, and his wife went abroad to hold a concert, and this guy didn't even come with her? Honestly."

As she was looking, she suddenly paused, as if she had seen something in the notes app on her phone.
"What do you mean by 'reminding Ye Shiyu to take care of her pregnancy'?"

"."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan, who had been happy, immediately felt guilty.

He silently turned his head to look at the familiar city of China outside the window, wagging his tail, oblivious to what was happening inside.

Bai Yi, left behind, frantically interrogated Yan Huan, discovering more "evidence" of her crimes on her phone.
"Huh? The Yan family? What kind of group chat is this?"

"."

"What the heck is this wedding photo?!"

"."

"Why is it always Ye Shiyu who gets pregnant?! Does suppressing your emotions have this effect?!"

"."

"Yan Huan!! You scumbag!!! Bah, I'd be a dog if I saved you!!!"

Hearing Bai Yi's face turn completely red behind her, Yan Huan rubbed her cheeks with her paw pads.
He is becoming more and more adept at using the cat's body movements.

Fortunately, he's now a cute little cat, not some scumbag like Yan Huan.

"Hahaha."

After wiping away the guilty look on her face, Yan Huan turned around and asked again.

"Bought tickets, meow?"

"That's right, Yan Huan, you wait and see what I'll do to you when we get back."

Behind him, Bai Yi had evolved from a "pink pufferfish" into a "red pufferfish"!
She angrily pounded on her phone, making a "click-click-click" sound.

Bai Yi left that "Yan Family" group!
Only then did she open the app and start booking tickets.

"Ding ~"

To everyone's surprise, the phone rang shortly afterward.

"Baiyi, what's wrong? Did something happen at your concert in China? Anle and I watched clips of your previous concerts, they were great. Did the motherboard manufacturer cause some trouble this time?"

It was a message from Hitomi Sakuramiya.

"Hehe, it's about you guys, and Yan Huan too!"

Bai Yi was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth. Just as she was about to reply, other people started sending messages.
"Hitomi and I are both in Sakura Country, and we were planning to come see you after we finished our business. Did Xiao Huan make you angry? He's had a high fever lately, maybe he's talking nonsense?"

Upon seeing this, Bai Yi's raised fingers stiffened slightly.

At that very moment, Areya also sent a message.

"I was just about to tell you that I found the candy you asked me to bring back from the UK! I couldn't find you in the group chat. Look, do you want the chocolate flavor or the grape flavor?"

"."

Bai Yi opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Yan Huan blinked and asked hesitantly,

"What's wrong, meow?"

"Waaaaah! Sugar-coated bullets!!"

It would have been better if he hadn't asked. As soon as he heard Yan Huan speak, Bai Yi immediately threw down his phone and started rolling around on the bed, clutching his head.

"."

Yan Huan was speechless. He had realized that Bai Yi was quite unconventional in private.

When she wasn't a cat, she could at least maintain a ladylike demeanor; only when she was carefree did her true personality come out.

Now it's like this 24 hours a day.

"Meow~"

Yan Huanfei got into bed and looked at Bai Yi, who was lying on the bed with her eyes vacant and staring at the ceiling.

He didn't know what Bai Yi was looking at or thinking, so he asked.
"What are you thinking about, meow?"

"Ah, I'm thinking... I'm such an idiot."

"."

Did you only realize that now?

It's very late.

On the surface, Yan Huan didn't say anything, but watched as Bai Yi turned over, lying on her side looking at her, and rubbed her head with her fingers.
"I clearly don't want to share Yan Huan with Sakura Miyabi and the others, but just now, I shamelessly thought... this feeling of having so many people care about me isn't so bad."

"."

Yan Huan looked at her starry eyes, which were slightly lowered above her armpits, and said,

"I thought someone as pretty as you would have a lot of admirers, meow." "Oh haha, actually I'm not that pretty, just average, hahaha."

Well, I shouldn't have said that. Look how happy you are.

Seeing Bai Yi covering his face and pretending to refuse, Yan Huan's cat-like face darkened.

But as she was laughing, Bai Yi lay back down and looked at the ceiling.

At the same time, the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Well, to be honest, really no one really cares about me."

"."

Bai Yi counted on her fingers, unable to resist doing so.

"I rarely came to school before because of work, and I didn't have any close friends."
"The most common topic of conversation among my classmates on the plane was asking them to send me my notes from when I didn't attend class."

The light filtered through her fingers, casting shadows on her exquisite face.

"When I went to school, I tried to participate in the discussions too."
"But... how should I put it? The people in the inner courtyard have their own circles, and I can't fit in; as for the things the people in the outer courtyard talk about, I seem to know very little about them either."
"Famous boy bands, cute mascots. I work with those kinds of things every day, how would I know?"
"Ah, I finally found some cosmetics and skincare products that I know about, and I thought they could recommend a few, but what did they say?"
"'Ah, so expensive, I can't afford it. No wonder she's a working celebrity.' Pshaw!"

Thinking of this, Bai Yi puffed out her cheeks angrily and started punching in the air.

Meanwhile, Yan Huan simply sat demurely beside her, watching and listening to her.

"I know even less about the boys."

"When I first enrolled, there was a senior from the inner academy who pursued me."
"Ha, how inexplicable!"

"We've never even chatted before, and suddenly he's sending me messages on the plane saying he likes me?"

"Then they started sending me gifts and sending me good morning and good night messages. Ugh!"

Yan Huan looked at her and meowed.

"Because you're pretty, meow."

Bai Yi glanced at Yan Huan, gently reached out and pulled him into her arms, tapping his nose and speaking earnestly,
"Mi, do you know? You attract people based on what you use to attract them."

What the heck is Mimi?

Yan Huan glanced at her but remained silent.

"Since I debuted as a child star, every invitation I received has been to showcase my cuteness and beauty in order to earn value."
"And this thing is hereditary, so my mother often brings it up. She says that I am who I am today because of her."
"Naturally, it's all because of her, so she naturally won't approve and will only nitpick."

"My acting skills, my achievements, my personality, and the things I like."
"Anyway, these are the things I feel best represent me, things that have never been recognized by others before."

As he spoke, Bai Yi blinked and lifted Yan Huan up.

Yan Huan, with her four paws dangling, looked down at Bai Yi, who was smiling and had starry eyes.

"Until I found out that Yan Huan had always been my fan."

"."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan averted her gaze and changed the subject.
"Don't you have a stepfather? He seems like a good man."

"Uncle Jiang is indeed a good person, but he's very busy; we only see him a few times a year. And with Mom around, there are many times when he can't say anything."

Zuo Jiangqin.
Indeed, Yan Huan had only met that person a few times, but she had already grasped the extent of her exaggeration.

Yan Huan's eyes were vacant, and her tail was swaying back and forth.

Seeing this, Bai Yi put him down and placed him on her chest.
"What's wrong, Mimi?"

Can you please stop calling me "Mi"?
Yan Huan glanced at her, put her hands in her pockets, and lay down.
"I'm wondering when you'll escape your mother's family of origin, meow."

"Hahaha"

Bai Yi smiled beautifully, and she rubbed her eyes as she murmured,
"Although I'm also annoyed by her, I don't know whether I should blame her or not."

"?"

"Because I heard her say that before I was even born, my father used sweet talk to deceive me, saying that it was easy to make money here, and then smuggled her across the ocean to Linmen."

Bai Yi pursed her lips and looked at Yan Huan, saying,

"Illegal immigrants who travel across the ocean often have little to no skills, and their lives are actually very difficult."
"If that's the case, then so be it. It may be tough, but at least the whole family is safe and sound."

"But my father just wouldn't believe it, and he did some illegal things and got imprisoned for many years."
"So my mother had to raise me all by herself."

Bai Yi lowered his head, met Yan Huan's gaze, and asked in confusion,

"I keep thinking, if my mother hadn't gone through all that, she might not be the person she is today. And I wouldn't have been treated like this by her all my life."

"."

Yan Huan didn't respond to that, because he sensed the regret and hesitation in her words.

Right now, the collapse of my own timeline and the efforts to prevent Bai Yi from disappearing are still a mess, so I can't afford to make any more mistakes.

So he immediately changed the subject.
"You bought a ticket, meow?"

Oh, right.

Bai Yi's previously blank gaze gradually focused, and she immediately raised her phone again.

This time, however, upon receiving concerned messages from several people on the plane, she hesitated for a moment, but still softened and replied.
"Sorry, sorry! I just pressed the wrong button! Nothing's wrong with the organizers, it's just that I need to go back to Linmen! I'll explain the details later!"

"Yan Huan is fine, he didn't do anything wrong."

"Hmm, either is fine, take whichever you like!"

After sending all that, she finally opened the flight booking app.

After booking a flight for the evening, she suddenly remembered something and looked at Yan Huan.
"By the way, Yan Ye! You still haven't said whether the plan I mentioned to save Yan Huan is feasible!"

"."

Yan Huan just looked at her without replying.

He was actually deep in thought, after all, this was a plan he had considered before Bai Yi disappeared.

It's simply impossible for it to be effective.

But Bai Yi didn't understand his silence. Then, she seemed to misunderstand something, and her face turned slightly red.

Immediately, she clutched the hem of her skirt and let out a soft hum.
"Woof~"

"?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan's eyes widened, and she asked in confusion,
Why are you suddenly meowing like a dog?

"Huh?! I... I thought you were reminding me that saving Yan Huan before was like being a puppy or something."

"."

you.
You're such an idiot, Bai Yi!

Yan Huan's face darkened, and Bai Yi instantly realized that she had misunderstood.

Her face flushed red, and she immediately reached out angrily, pinched Yan Huan's body, and shook her back and forth.

"Forget it! Forget it all!!"

Yan Huan instantly activated her ethereal form and escaped from her grasp.

Immediately, he turned around and looked at Bai Yi.
"Don't rush, let's go back to Linmen first. I think this 'what if' scenario seems to be a long time in the future. Maybe the other hosts in it can provide some clues?"

Yan Huan originally wanted to say the "if" storyline of "solving the modifier", but suddenly realized that this was not in line with her identity as the "incarnation of the modifier".

Therefore, the plan had to be changed midway.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi blinked and said speechlessly,
"If that's the case, why not just ask them directly using the plane? Why bother flying five or six hours back to Linmen?"

"Talkative meow!"

Seeing that her "evil intention" of going back to get crab coins was at risk of being exposed, Yan Huan became anxious.

Bai Yi, unaware of the crab coins' purpose, assumed he had sensed something.
After all, this little guy claims to have some understanding of timelines.
"Ok?"

But the next second, Bai Yi looked at her phone and was slightly taken aback.

Because the account "plane" with the nickname "Poetry" suddenly sent a message.
"Bai Yi, Xiao Huan seems to have disappeared!!"

Missing?

Why have they disappeared again?

Bai Yi thought back for a moment and realized that the previous if statement seemed to be the same.
how
Yan Huan isn't in any of the "if" statements?
