Ye Changan thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a definite answer, so he had to give up his search and left after staying for a while.

Before leaving, he visited the orphanage in the small town.

It has been several years since Alicia left the orphanage.

A few more years passed, and Ye Changan traveled to many places and met many people.

Young Yingjie, young fans.

He wasn't even halfway through his journey of burying record players around the world when Ling suddenly gave him a pop-up window.

[Host, can you teleport now? Do you want to come back and take a look? Something good has happened.]

Not understanding what the so-called good thing meant, Ye Changan still took the trouble to open the door and return to the Far East.

"Host, welcome back."

Ling, no longer a little baby, smiled happily. Ye Changan nodded and asked, "What good thing are you talking about?"

"Hey, follow me and you'll find out."

Ling pretended to be mysterious and pulled Ye Changan to a park, pointing at the person sitting on the bench and said

"Look over there, do you recognize who that is?"

Ye Changan looked up and saw two girls with pink hair.

One of them is Sakura, and the other is Alcia.

"She's actually traveled all the way here."

Ye Changan was surprised and patted Ling's head as a reward.

This is indeed a good thing.

Without hesitation, he walked over and wanted to talk to Alicia.

Ying, who still couldn't escape the training, was still very vigilant. When she heard footsteps approaching, she turned to look at Ye Changan.

After not seeing him for several years, she hardly recognized Ye Changan.

His eyes were a little confused, and he frowned slightly before speaking uncertainly.

"Chang'an?"

Sure enough, we became much more distant. I used to call him brother, but now I just call him by his name.

Ye Changan didn't care about this matter, and nodded with a smile.

"Hey, Sakura, did you miss me?"

"Uh...no."

Ying nodded honestly, she really hadn't thought about it.

But the expression was still very complicated.

Ye Changan didn't want to think too much, he turned his head to look at Ailishiya and said

"Sakura, who is this kid? Is he your new friend? He's as cute as you."

Sakura didn't say anything, but Alicia stood up and said

"Hello, my name is Alicia, and I just met Sakura."

"Oh, I see. Hello, Alicia. My name is Chang'an."

Ye Changan responded with a smile, and sat on the bench without any sign of awkwardness to join the conversation between the two girls.

However, Sakura didn't say much, only he and Alicia were chatting.

When asked about the past, Ailishia would tell about what she saw and heard during her journey, and Ye Changan would also tell about the same.

When two people who have traveled a lot chat, there is no chance for outsiders to interrupt.

They chatted until it was almost dark, and Ling finally came out to ask them to go home for dinner.

Naturally, Ye Changan invited Alicia over.

"This...not so good."

Alicia was somewhat tempted, but felt it was not appropriate.

After all, I didn't get the consent of the other party's parents.

"There's nothing wrong with that. Their parents are very happy to have people visiting their home."

Ye Changan lied and winked at Ling.

Ling is much smarter than she looks. She immediately understands Ye Changan's intention and tries her best to invite Alicia to dinner at her home.

Ai Lishiya finally agreed, and on the way home she asked Ye Changan curiously

"Changan, aren't you, Ying, and Ling siblings?"

"No, we don't look alike at all."

"That's right. Come to think of it, I've met someone who looks a lot like you. Her name is Yi Guang. She has a friend who very kindly gave me a record."

Alicia suddenly realized that she wanted to change the subject, but accidentally revealed that she had met Eden.

Ye Changan didn't care about their meeting, but the record made him more curious.

"What record? Do you still have it with you?"

"This is what I brought with me."

Alicia took out the record box from her small bag. It was obvious that it was well kept. After all, it was a gift from a friend.

"Have you heard the music in it?"

"No, record players are too hard to find. I've been to many places and haven't seen any of these antiques."

"Then you are lucky today, they have a record player at home."

Laughing to death, not at all.

But with him around, it exists.

Alicia expressed her anticipation, and Ying glanced at Ye Changan speechlessly.

Ling followed beside him and laughed secretly, looking like she was watching a show.

When they returned home, Feng Di and his wife welcomed Alicia to visit, but they welcomed Ye Changan back for dinner even more.

They all treated Alicia as the child brought back by Ye Changan.

The topic was not broached during the meal. They just chatted and laughed while eating and listening to the record that Eden gave them.

As he listened, Feng Di's expression gradually became strange.

Sometimes he frowned and touched his head, and then stared at Ye Changan.

"Uncle, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing, I just feel like something's wrong. Chang'an, have you participated in any music competitions while you were away?"

"Music competition? Why are you asking that?"

"I can't really put my finger on it, I just feel like I've seen you on TV before."

Fengdi's statement was very unclear, but this unclear statement was responded to by Ying.

"I have the same feeling. It seems that Changan won the championship in that competition."

The father and daughter's statements were consistent, which made Ye Changan fall into silence.

Memory bias has occurred.

This had never happened before.

There may be only one reason that caused this father and daughter to change.

Alicia.

but why?

Ye Changan didn't understand.

After inviting Alicia to stay overnight, he talked to her alone.

"Ellie, have you ever met someone who knows you even though they haven't met you before?"

"No, how can we know each other if we've never met before?"

"I have seen."

"Huh? How is that possible? Where did you see them? Do they really know you if they haven't seen you before? Could it be that you secretly participated in some competition and let them know you?"

"In a colonial town codenamed 51, there was an orphanage there, and they all knew me when I went there."

"..."

Alicia stopped talking, looking inexplicably nervous.

Maybe she can hide this well when she grows up, but she is still young now.

"Ellie, you know that place, right?"

"……do not know."

"I heard your name from there. I heard you left that place a few years ago."

"..."

Ai Li was silent, lowering her head and acting like an ostrich, which made Ye Changan couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, Ellie, don't be like this. I don't mean anything else. I just want to tell you that I know your past and that you are special."

"..."

Ellie remained silent and looked like she was about to run away.

The mysterious girl's biggest fear is that others will know her origins, which would mean danger for her.

So she really ran away, using the Honkai energy to jump out the window and escape, confident that she would not be hurt and that no one would catch up with her.

But when she landed, Ye Changan was right where she landed and caught her.

“(⊙o⊙)… Ghost!!”

Ellie screamed, terrified.

"I am Chang'an, not a ghost."

Ye Changan corrected silently, holding the child who wanted to run away, step by step into the air, and returned to the room through the window.

Ai Li looked at him stupidly as he walked in the sky as if he were walking on flat ground, her eyes wide open.

Back in the room, I stared with my eyes wide open, not knowing what to say. After a long pause, I finally spoke.

"How did you do that just now? Why can you walk in the sky?"

"This is hard to explain. Just think of it as something you were born with."

"Born... So, you're just like me?"

“It should be different, but it’s almost the same.”

"Then can you do this?"

Ai Li asked, and a crystal flower formed by the convergence of Houkai energy appeared in her palm.

Ye Changan spread his hands and condensed a golden crystal flower.

“It really works.”

Ellie was amazed, and then she felt happy.

It is a kind of joy to find like-minded people.

The word "same kind" has a very complicated meaning for Alicia.

Because she always knew that she was different from the people around her.
