Not a god

Chapter 147 Jiang Xiaowan

another world?
In fact, it doesn’t matter which world it is.

The thin girl looked up at Chen Xi, then looked down at the hand she was holding, a warm, large palm. She placed her small hand on it, touching every part of it as if it were a treasure.

Then he gently picked it up and placed it on his face, and his warm big hands pressed against it, gently caressing her face.

The black-robed girl closed her eyes happily with a blush on her face, like a kindergarten kid who had been praised. She murmured softly, "Brother..."

"Yeah, my brother is here."

Just calling him "brother" and getting a response made her so happy that she almost fainted.

Yan Di, who was standing by, widened his eyes at this moment. Are you still that cold and heartless woman? Where is your terrifying icy aura?
What's going on with this cute little dog?!
Jiang Wanwan hugged her chest and crossed her legs, and asked doubtfully: "But can you take the people from this world out?"

She thought she would feel awkward and uncomfortable seeing another woman trying to snatch her brother away from her, but after entering this world, seeing this 'herself' with her own eyes, and discovering the vague connection between herself and her, the feeling of rejection she had assumed before disappeared.

Chen Xi looked at Jiang Xiaowan, who was about to shrink into his arms with a look of wanting to be touched, and rubbed her little face and head like he was petting a cat or a dog, saying:

"You can give it a try. Aunt Jiang is still alive in that world. Do you want to go take a look, Xiaowan?"

In order to distinguish the two Wanwans, Chen Xi decided to call the Wanwan who was married to him "Wanwan".

This Wanwan, who has lost a lot of weight and is a little confused after relaxing due to years of mental tension, is called Jiang Xiaowan.

Wanwan was already very well-behaved, but Xiaowan was even more obedient and would agree to whatever Chen Xi said.

For her, her brother has also called her Wanwan for more than 20 years, but Chen Xi said that in order to distinguish them, he would call her Xiaowan from now on. She was not sad at all, and even looked grateful.

Chen Xi was really troubled by this black-robed girl who was obviously too humble.

Anyone who has ever raised a cat knows that there is a cat abandonment effect. If a disobedient kitten is thrown away for a few days, when you find it back, it will become docile and clingy because it is afraid of being abandoned again.

But Chen Xi didn't want such a Jiang Xiaowan at all, because the price of this gentleness and clinginess was an unhealable trauma in the girl's heart.

It can also be seen from here that there is indeed a big difference between Jiang Wanwan, who only gained memories and emotions, and Jiang Xiaowan, who truly waited for a thousand years.

"Is mom still alive..."

Her mouth pursed a little more, and although she was also very sad, her mood did not change much.

Chen Xi smiled: "I thought Xiao Wan was going to cry again."

Jiang Wanwan, who was standing aside, looked helpless, and felt a headache when she thought of a certain woman:
"That's because, although my mother in this world has passed away, she lived a very good life. She lived for more than 300 years and relied on my status as an emperor to swagger around in the streets, causing trouble everywhere like a female devil."

"...It sounds like something Aunt Jiang would do."

He smiled and said to Jiang Xiaowan: "Why there are two worlds and why my domain can come in here, we don't understand these things yet, but seeing Xiaowan like this, I think the most important thing now is to make Xiaowan happy."

"Xiao Wan is already very happy. Now she is very happy, super happy..."

"Huh? Really? But I've seen you always look expressionless like this except when you're crying."

"Yes, I'm sorry, brother, Xiao Wan..."

The girl in black robe suddenly became anxious and tried to smile, but she found that her face was frozen after maintaining the same expression for a thousand years!
She quickly reached out her hand, squeezed the flesh on her face, and forced a smile for herself, her little mouth pouting.

"Yes, she is smiling. Look, brother, Xiao Wan is smiling~"

Emperor Yan: “!!”

Damn it, absolutely damn it, sister, your character has completely collapsed, do you know that? ?

She glanced back and forth between Jiang Xiaowan and Chen Xi's faces, horrified by the scene before her.

If Emperor Yan had experienced peacetime, he would know how to describe this scene. Shocked! The goddess Bai Yueguang, whom he held in his heart, was actually...

Seeing Jiang Xiaowan trying to please him, Chen Xi smiled but didn't feel relieved at all.

He glanced at Jiang Wanwan beside him. What did it mean for a husband and wife to be of one mind? Jiang Wanwan immediately understood what her brother was thinking and raised her head to show that she didn't care.

Chen Xi put his hands under Jiang Xiaowan's armpits, lifted her up, and let her sit horizontally on his thighs.

The body was very light, and felt like no weight at all in his arms. Feeling Chen Xi's movements, Jiang Xiaowan's body stiffened.

Chen Xi said softly, "Don't be nervous. I'm your brother. Why should I be nervous in front of you? It would be sad to see Xiao Wan being so reserved in front of me."

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

"If you say sorry again, my brother will really get angry."

The black-robed girl in his arms froze for a moment and quickly shook her head, indicating that she would not say anything more.

"Xiao Wan, you don't have to say sorry to your brother, because no matter what happens, your brother will never blame you, do you understand?"

Tears welled up in Jiang Xiaowan's eyes again, and Chen Xi felt helpless. But sometimes, crying might actually be better.

But she quickly wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "I want to go and have a look... I want to go back... and have a look..."

"Then let's give it a try. I'm not too sure. If I agree to take on so much responsibility and then find out that I can't do it, Xiao Wan will laugh at me."

"Will not……"

Jiang Xiaowan paused, then asked nervously, "If that's not possible... can you come visit Xiaowan more often in the future?"

Chen Xi hardly needed to consider such a question: "Of course I will."

"!!"

Jiang Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, then tilted his head back and looked at Chen Xi expressionlessly.

"Why are you looking at my brother like that?"

“…Xiao Wan was actually smiling.”

"Puchi!" Jiang Wanwan on the side couldn't help but laugh first.

Chen Xi also smiled: "Let's go, let's see if we can get through."

"Cough cough!"

"You two hold my hands. Some spiritual energy will enter your body in a moment. Don't resist."

"Cough cough!"

"I've been in and out with my brother many times just now, this isn't the first time!"

"Yeah! Xiao Wan is holding brother's hand!"

"Cough cough!"

Finally, the three of them noticed Lord Yan Di, who was coughing constantly, looking around, with hopeful words written all over his face, "Take me out to play", but was too embarrassed to speak because of his face.

You can see that she seems very anxious.

Jiang Xiaowan only then noticed her, "By the way, if my brother and I go back to that world, I won't be in charge of Fengdu... Yan Di, I'm worried about you staying in Fengdu, so go out first..."

Emperor Yan was extremely angry and said, "You are going too far! Take me with you, too! I want to go too!"

Jiang Xiaowan hesitated and looked at her brother. She didn't want to ask him anything on the first day she saw him again. After thinking about it, she refused:
"I have to leave for a while. Fengdu needs the real Daluotian to be in charge. Could you please help me guard Fengdu? Please." Chen Xi actually found this big-name Yiyi very interesting. She seemed to have a carefree personality, and the shadow of little Yiyi could be seen in her little expressions and movements. It was as if this was what Yiyi would look like when she grew up. No, not as if, this was what Yiyi would look like when she grew up.

However, Chen Yi is his daughter, and Yan Emperor is Yan Emperor. Unlike Jiang Wanwan, in this world, he and Yan Emperor have never had any intersection.

Apart from his body, the most important thing that makes up a person is his experience, what kind of scenery he has seen, what kind of people he has met, and what things he has gone through. The Yan Emperor of this world has never participated in his life from beginning to end, and is a complete stranger.

Emperor Yan was very familiar with Jiang Wanwan and Jiang Xiaowan, but since Jiang Xiaowan didn't ask, he wouldn't interfere and let them discuss everything on their own.

Big Yiyi was stunned for a moment. She was asked to do something. In all these years, Jiang Wanwan had never asked her to do anything. Since it was Master Wanwan's order, then there was no reason for her to refuse!
She coughed twice, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and snorted:
“…What, what? Speaking of two worlds or something, I still don’t quite believe it. And, you actually said it as if it would definitely succeed. What if… Hey, it disappeared!”

"still there?"

"Hello? Really disappeared?"

……

In this world, it is already 4:30 in the afternoon. The moment the red light turns yellow, the bells of shared bicycles on the whole street fly away in surprise. The pleated skirt of the girl who is leaving school sweeps past the roasted chestnut stall, cutting the white smoke rising from the iron wok into golden crepe.

The traffic lights were like translucent sugar in the twilight, making the delivery riders' incubators appear burnt. The convenience store was ringing, and the automatic doors were breathing in the evening breeze. The pancake stand next door was emitting a fragrant aroma as it fried food.

"came back!"

Jiang Wanwan was very excited: "Xiao Wan also came along, it really worked!"

Jiang Xiaowan was still wearing her black robe, and her figure looked very slim under the wide robe.

She looked at the scene around her and was in a trance for a moment. She could hear the noise in her ears, the prosperous streets, and her brother holding her hand tightly.

The world before the disaster, the familiar streets, nothing had happened yet, the setting sun shone on my body, warm, noisy voices were in my ears, and occasionally the honking of cars on the road, pulling my thoughts so far away.

It's like... a world away

She looked at everything in front of her, opened her mouth, but no words came out. She took a step forward, then stepped back.

Chen Xi took off her hat brim, pushed her long hair back from her face, and asked, "How do you feel?"

"It seems... I had a very long dream."

Chen Xi brought her back to the store. Chen Yan was a little surprised to see him bringing back two Jiang Wanwans, but then she smiled her signature smile again. Bai Douzi was no longer surprised and was extremely calm, as if "Douzi is already a mature big sister". After greeting Chen Xi and the others, she went to the kitchen with the tableware.

"That was Bai Douzi, our shop assistant, a silly boy. This is Chen Yan, the Taixutian you know..."

Jiang Xiaowan glanced at Chen Yan and nodded out of social etiquette.

She had never seen Taixutian in her previous life. She only knew that she was a god who controlled time and space. She had just learned from her brother and another "self" that this woman was not normal.

Although the other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions, she still secretly kept an eye on him.

Then I looked around the store. Everything looked new. After all, if I remembered correctly, it had only been open for two months.

"Let me take you to change your clothes first. Wearing such a black robe will not fit in with the surrounding environment."

Jiang Wanwan was holding the new skirt she had just bought. After Jiang Xiaowan was held by her hand, she looked back at Chen Xi frequently. Finally, she followed Jiang Wanwan to the room that had been converted into the employee dormitory of Baidouzi to change clothes.

The two men had the same body shape, but Jiang Xiaowan only consumed food that was enough to maintain his vital signs, and his body was pitifully thin.

Jiang Xiaowan had to spend the first time with another 'self', and hesitated to speak, "You..."

"No need to say anything more."

Jiang Wanwan stretched out her hand to block in front of him and said, "I basically know what you are thinking about."

"……Um."

Jiang Xiaowan also understood, but still said: "I still have to thank you..."

“That’s redundant!”

Jiang Xiaowan was silent for a while. She actually realized that the Jiang Wanwan in front of her was her, but she was not the Jiang Wanwan in front of her.

The inheritance of memories does not allow her to be too deeply affected by the gloom accumulated by time. She is full of vigor and carefree, while she herself is boring and even has difficulty making any expression on her face. He steals her happiness from her like a despicable thief.

However, at this moment, an embrace slightly smaller than her brother's, but warm enough, held her in its arms.

After hugging her, Jiang Wanwan said nothing, but just sighed helplessly. However, Jiang Xiaowan immediately understood the meaning.

I am you and you are me, don't say these words, it doesn't make any sense.

"If it weren't for you, this world would have gone the same way as you did. My brother would have eventually... So, I should thank you."

Jiang Wanwan put his forehead against hers, and their eyes were fixed on each other.

Jiang Xiaowan understood a lot of emotions from the other person's eyes, and even felt a more reassuring atmosphere from her than from her brother.

"Do you understand? Brother is my brother and your brother as well. If you always act so timid and inferior, it will only give Brother a headache."

Jiang Xiaowan's emotions were calmed down. She saw no falsehood in the eyes of this other self in the other world before her.

The other party accepts me and I hope I can forgive myself.

Moreover, in the future, the solution to the end of destruction predicted by the Unseen Sky may be hidden in the two worlds.

Now is not the time for her to be coy and self-pitying.

Jiang Xiaowan nodded gently and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"Can I sleep with my brother tonight?"

"You're changing too fast again!"

"Well...I actually just want to sleep next to my brother. If you mind, I can also watch you guys tonight."

"White Album!?"

"If I remember correctly, at this time, I was thinking about how to beat my brother in that aspect. Actually, I think if we both did it together..."

"Stop, stop, stop! If you keep talking, it will be against the rules. And how can you say such embarrassing words without any expression?!"

"Hmm..." In fact, she was also very shy, but her face was frozen and she couldn't make any expression.

"Besides, you don't have the capital to fight alongside me right now. Look at you now, you are just skin and bones. With your brother's fighting ability, your body will fall apart if you go to the battlefield like this, you know?"

"Yeah, that's right..." Jiang Xiaowan looked at his skinny body and couldn't help falling into deep thought.

"Don't worry, I will train you into an excellent fighter!" Jiang Wanwan immediately took the responsibility and said that she would take her to eat until she could get her body back into shape to kill the enemy. As she spoke, she took out her mobile phone and opened McDonald's.

"It seems like... it's almost time for dinner, right?"

"Let's get the takeaway quietly later, don't let my brother find out."

"If I find out, my brother will tell on me..."

"Do you still want to return to the battlefield soon?"

Jiang Xiaowan stopped talking and ordered a burger and a serving of French fries.
