After a brief period of location tracking, they found the X-Men universe they had previously traversed.

Peter casually picked up the cursing Nova from the ground and carried him straight into the portal.

……

The Mutant Academy, Professor X's office.

A portal suddenly appeared in the office.

Professor X sensed fluctuations in the space and instinctively assumed it was some unknown enemy.

He raised his hand warily, ready to notify Beast Hank and the others to come to his aid at any moment.

But when he saw the figure walking out of the portal, he was stunned.

"You, you are...Peter?!"

Although three years have passed, Professor X still can't forget the shock Peter brought him.

The power that allowed him to easily defeat Apocalypse single-handedly was completely beyond his understanding of mutants!

Now that Peter has finally arrived in their universe again, Professor X was initially pleasantly surprised, but then a strange expression appeared on his face.

It was only then that he noticed Peter was carrying a woman on his shoulder.

Because of the angle, Professor X didn't see Nova's bald head immediately; he could only see Nova's struggling hindquarters.

This made his expression look extremely strange.

Peter brought a woman with him. Should he tell Jenny about it?

That girl has been so obsessed with Peter for years, will she turn completely wicked now that she's suddenly heard this news?

As these thoughts raced through his mind, Peter casually put Nova down and then said with a grin:

"Professor, you're a jerk!"

The professor's face darkened. Why did he suddenly ask about my family? I didn't offend you, did I?

As he was thinking this, his gaze unconsciously fell on Nova's bald head, and the moment their eyes met, he was immediately stunned.

This inexplicable feeling of blood connection...

You know what, you really think this is... it really is my sister!

But... I don't have a sister!

Peter briefly explained Nova's origins to the bewildered professor, and Professor X finally understood.

Oh, it's my sister from a parallel universe. Oh, never mind then!

Immediately, a strong desire to challenge welled up within me.

Since she's his own sister, he has to persuade her to mend her ways no matter what.

"You two have a good chat, I'm leaving now."

Peter, not wanting to pay attention to the siblings' reunion, left Nova behind, turned and left the office, heading straight to Gin's room.

With a simple tap on the door, a hole silently appeared.

In the bedroom, Qin was resting her chin on her hand, staring blankly at the night sky outside the window.

It's been three years. Will that man really come back?

Perhaps waiting for his return is ultimately just wishful thinking on my part?

Maybe he's already forgotten me!

Just as Qin was feeling down, a pair of hands suddenly wrapped around her waist from behind.

The sudden attack made Qin's body tense up for a moment, and she instinctively wanted to fight back.

But then she felt that familiar yet unfamiliar scent—for the past three years, she had countless times reminisced about this masculine scent in her midnight dreams.

Finally, she slowly turned her head, her amber eyes widening sharply the moment they saw Peter's face.

Shock, disbelief, and longing—all sorts of emotions surged up at that moment.

“You…” Her voice suddenly became a little hoarse.

“I’ve come back to see you,” Peter said.

Qin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and turned around abruptly, wrapping her arms around his neck and burying her face in his shoulder.

She didn't cry; instead, two blushes quickly rose on her face, and she huddled in Peter's arms, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

She had fantasized about this scene countless times in her dreams, but now that it had actually happened, she didn't know what to do next.

Seeing Jean Grey standing there blankly, completely unsure of what to do next, Peter chuckled, then lowered his head and gently kissed her lips.

And then... everything fell into place naturally.

"Wait a moment."

Just as the two were about to take the final step, Qin suddenly spoke:

Will you leave again this time?

“Hmm.” Peter nodded.

Qin's delicate body stiffened for a moment at the answer, and a look of disappointment appeared on her face.

But Peter's next words quickly brightened her mood:

"But this time, I want to take you with me, Jean. Would you like to come live with me in my universe?"

Jean looked into Peter's eyes and didn't ask questions like "What is your universe like?" or "Is it just the two of us?"

She simply nodded with unwavering determination, giving her answer without hesitation:

"it is good!"

The morning sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating two figures in the room.

Qin lay in Peter's arms, her chestnut hair scattered on the white pillow, a few strands edged with a warm golden hue by the morning light.

With a slight tremor of her eyelashes, Qin slowly awoke from her sleep.

Looking at the man beside her, her amber eyes gradually brightened after a brief moment of confusion.

This is what it feels like for a dream to come true. It's wonderful.

This unprecedented sense of satisfaction and groundedness cannot be replaced by any of the fantasies of the past three years.

Jean tried her best not to wake Peter with her movements, and carefully looked him up and down.

She originally thought that her memories from three years ago were somewhat blurred, and that her fantasies over the past three years would inevitably give Peter some overly fantastical or even seriously distorted characteristics.

I thought I would always find some flaw in Peter, something that would make me think, "It's just that I've imagined things too much."

But the result was... not a single one!

Peter was so perfect that she couldn't find a single flaw in him, and he fulfilled all her girlish fantasies.

As she gazed at him, Qin's eyes became somewhat dazed.

Until a slightly amused voice rang in my ears:

"Huh~ Whose infatuated girl is this? What's she doing in my bed?"

Peter's sudden teasing made Qin's pretty face flush bright red instantly, and she hurriedly tried to defend herself:

"Who, who's being infatuated! Besides, it's clearly you in my bed!"

Finally, she sat up straight, trying her best to adopt an arrogant attitude, and said:

"Who are you? Tell me honestly, who gave you permission to sneak into my bed!"

Peter's mere feigned intention to roll over terrified her.

"No! I'm still... Besides, Ororo and the others might call me over for breakfast!"

If Aurora and the others caught me doing that kind of thing, would I even be able to live anymore?

Upon hearing this, Peter's smile suddenly faded, and he gently stroked the strings, whispering:

"Are you really sure you want to come with me to my universe?"

Although it wouldn't be difficult for me to send you back to visit from time to time, I'm afraid you'll only be able to come back to see me once every month or two from now on.

"and……"

Peter paused for a moment before continuing:

"Let me give you a heads-up: I have more than one girlfriend in my universe, and I don't want you to regret it later."

"So... how many girlfriends do you have?" Qin suddenly asked nervously.

Peter paused for a moment, then answered truthfully:

"Ten."

"Ten?!" Jean was startled, then lunged forward and bit Peter's shoulder fiercely.

"No wonder you haven't come to see me even once in three whole years! You're such a womanizer!"

Peter deliberately acted as if he was being bitten in pain, which scared Jyn so much that she quickly let go.

After carefully checking and confirming that there wasn't even a tooth mark left, she realized she had been tricked.

However, she wasn't angry. Instead, she buried her face back in Peter's chest and said in a muffled voice:

"I will try my best to coexist peacefully with them."

Peter was somewhat surprised by Qin's obedient behavior, and he couldn't resist teasing her again, a little mischievously.

"Aren't you afraid they'll gang up on you?"

Upon hearing this, Jean suddenly looked up at Peter, her eyes so clear it seemed they could see right through each other's hearts in that instant.

"I believe you."

"I trust your judgment. If you determine that someone is even more important than me, they certainly aren't the kind of person with bad intentions!"
