Not a god

Chapter 205 Yi Yi's Past Life
Teaching a one-and-a-half-year-old to swim is impractical, so Chen Xi accompanied her to the edge of the sea to wade in the water, leaving a string of cute footprints. Chen Yi rolled up her pants and stood on the edge of the beach, looking down intently at the waves washing over her little feet.

She was watching very intently, as if she was thinking about something, and she would occasionally show this thoughtful expression, which made people chuckle.

Chen Xi took out her phone and said, "Look here at Dad."

She looked up and saw her father holding that thing called a cell phone towards her again. She knew that her father was taking pictures of her. After the pictures were taken, Yiyi would appear in the phone. Her father loved taking pictures of Yiyi and praising her for being cute.

After taking the picture, Chen Xi looked at little Chen Yi in the photo. The little girl, who was full of energy all day long, was standing on the shore looking a little dejected, as if she wasn't very interested.

"Is Yiyi unhappy?"

"Mommy, Mommy won't play with Yiyi..."

"Yiyi can't swim. If you could swim, you could go and play with them."

Actually, Jiang Wanwan can't swim either, but Xiao Chenyi is too young, and it's impossible for her to play with them if she goes over.

"swim……"

"Hmm, look at Mom and the others, they're swimming and floating on the water. If Yiyi goes over there, she'll sink. Daddy will play in the sand with you on the shore, okay?"

She was still somewhat dejected. She glanced at Jiang Wanwan and the others on the sea, then leaned listlessly against Chen Xi, her voice low and dejected: "Daddy, hug me..."

This was the first time Chen Yi had shown signs of frustration, just like other children who wanted to play but couldn't. The little girl was experiencing a small worry for the first time, but worries are also a part of life and a part of growing up. She couldn't be sad just because Jiang Wanwan and the others didn't take her to play, so Chen Xi called Jiang Wanwan and the others back to the shore to play with her.

Growing up in an environment where you can do whatever you want will only produce two types of people: spoiled brats or good-for-nothings like Jiang Wanwan. Knowing that her parenting methods when she was young were wrong, Chen Xi now believes that troubles are also an indispensable part of a child's development.

However, Yiyi is a good baby. She didn't cry or make a fuss when her mother didn't play with her. She was just a little frustrated, which was already very good.

And looking so pitiful, like a little darling wanting her dad to hold her, Chen Xi hugged her, brushed some hairs away from her face, and said with a smile:
"When Yiyi grows up, she will be able to swim and play with her mother and the others."

"Yiyi grew up..."

"Yes, you can learn to swim when you grow up."

“Grow up…” she repeated the two words.

"By then you'll be as tall as Sister Jiang Yan, half a head taller than Mom."

"When Yiyi grew up, her father disappeared."

Chen Xi was taken aback: "...Who said that?"

Chen Yi looked somewhat confused and glanced at her father.

Clearly, no one told her these things; they came from her memories before her 'rebirth'.

She is now a year and a half old, and her intelligence has improved a bit. Those strange images, memories, and even emotions are no longer things that she can easily ignore. She is gradually understanding some of them, but she still feels confused. Perhaps if no one explains them to her, in a few years she will feel like she has been reborn or traveled through time. But for now, she just feels confused from time to time.

She didn't say anything, just pouted, and suddenly felt even more aggrieved. Her mother wasn't playing with her anymore, and her father was nowhere to be seen. She felt extremely depressed and felt like she was about to cry.

The little girl's hands were tiny, as light as willow catkins in his large palm. Chen Xi played with them for a while, then asked:

"Was it something Yiyi dreamed about again?"

Since a while ago, probably because she was overthinking those memories during the day, Chen Yi has been having nightmares and waking up in fright.

"Yiyi doesn't know..."

“Dreams are all false. When Yiyi grows up, her father won’t disappear.”

"real…?"

"of course it's true."

"Daddy, give me a kiss..."

The little girl is very affectionate now. Chen Xi kissed her cheek and asked:
"What else did Yiyi dream about?" She mumbled, "Yiyi was hungry, there was nothing to eat, Daddy wouldn't give Yiyi milk, and Mommy wouldn't give Yiyi milk either, Yiyi had no milk to drink..."

Although she knew those were things Jiang Yan had experienced, Chen Xi still felt her heart couldn't take it when she heard her daughter say such things.

Chen Xi reached out and pinched the chubby flesh on her arm with pity, looking at the little one she had raised to be fair and tender, and continued to listen to her rambling.

What Xiao Chenyi said was a bit disorganized. She probably just treated it as a dream, saying whatever came to mind. Chen Xi listened and then filled in the blanks in her mind.

Moreover, because she was in a daze, what she said didn't sound so tragic; it was even strangely inspiring, like a little girl's doomsday trip. When she got excited, she even gestured and acted it out for Chen Xi.

"Mom, Mom is like this..."

As she spoke, she pouted, looking unhappy, and adopted Jiang Xiaowan's cold and aloof demeanor.

"Is your mother ignoring you?"

"Mom is ignoring Yiyi."

"Then ask your mother why she ignored Yiyi back then."

"Good~"

However, one strange thing about what Chen Yi said was that her mother, Jiang Xiaowan, seemed to have appeared when she was also very young. Jiang Xiaowan gave her food and clothes and took her with her, and then abandoned her somewhere and didn't want her anymore. She saw her mother again later, but she still didn't see her father.

Is this a mix-up between memories of the present life and those from before rebirth?

Or is there really such a thing?

He looked up at the group of girls playing around. Jiang Yan had always given him a strange feeling.

Although they are both from the Great Luo Heaven, this guy seems to be particularly afraid of Jiang Xiaowan. Not only Jiang Xiaowan, but even if Jiang Wanwan puts on a stern face in front of her, she will still act timid and submissive.

Chen Xi stroked her chin, deep in thought.

Although she couldn't go down, Yiyi was still very happy playing with her dad on the shore. Standing on the beach, she would quickly run back to her dad when the tide came in, and then walk back when the tide receded, giggling as she ran back and forth.

Kids are so easy to please.

The girls had a great time, and Chen Xi, seeing that it was almost time, urged them to go ashore. After showering and changing at the public bathhouse on the shore, they arrived just as the sun was setting, and there were quite a few people there to watch the sunset.

"Let's go, we'll have seafood tonight."

There's a seafood market here, mostly filled with seafood caught by fishermen, but also some from inland aquaculture. Across from the seafood market is a street full of seafood processing shops, and business is booming.

Chen Yan suggested, "Should I go down and catch some?"

"I think it's a good idea! I want to eat shark!"

There are no sharks here.

"Go somewhere further away."

"Have you ever eaten deep-sea snailfish? They're from 10,000 meters below the Mariana Trench, the kind that's completely transparent and you can see the bones..."

"Is it tasty?"

"It's very tender, but it looks a bit ugly, and it melts very quickly after it's served... Anyone want to eat it? I'll go catch it now."

Chen Xi finally stopped her.

Although they seemed to disagree during the day, the two little gingers changed into their daytime combat uniforms at night. Chen Xi naturally couldn't stand seeing the two little gingers taunting her in their combat uniforms.

Finally, the two sisters were exhausted and were put together by Director Chen. The next day, they took a plane from Tuoshan Airport back to Jiangcheng.
