Chapter 83 Chapter 83 (2/2)

He had returned to that year where the nightmares began but hadn’t done anything.

All those years of hard work may have all become nothing, but he chose to let go.

Ji Yushi was silent.

“You must have found a more suitable method.” Professor Ji said, “Jian Jian, I’m very happy to hear this, you are stronger than I thought. These shackles of yours cannot be removed by others, but by yourself. You haven’t become a prisoner of time. I am glad.”

Ji Yushi said, “I still have to go back.”

Professor Ji nodded, “Of course. I just don’t know if your actions would affect the points you had gathered until now….”

“It’s okay.” Ji Yushi raised his eyes, “If it’s affected, I can just start again.”

Since he was a child, Ji Yushi had always been introverted and calm. He almost never had a child’s naivety, and it was also rare seeing him passionate about something. His visit to Jiang City this time had brought about a lot of changes. The look in his eyes was something Professor Ji had never seen before. Professor Ji’s eyes couldn’t help but dampen with relief.

Not noticing the other person’s emotional changes, Ji Yushi pulled over a stool and sat down, “Teacher, let me borrow your pen.”

Professor Ji took out a pen from his drawer and gave it to him, “Why?”

“A pen and paper is safer.” Ji Yushi received the pen and then found a notebook on the table, “When I was completing a mission, I met someone.”

The pen made a few swishing sounds as it slid across the paper.

In a few strokes, Ji Yushi managed to draw out an outline of someone relying on his memory. With the addition of some details, the picture of a middle-aged man appeared on the paper. His face was round, slightly chubby, and he looked rather gentle.

When he was done, he tore it off and gave it to Professor Ji, “Look, have you seen this more than ten years ago?”

More than ten years ago? Professor Ji fell into thought.

Ji Yushi had gone to complete a Guardian mission this time so he should be travelling ahead in time and space, but he had met someone from more than ten years ago. This goes to show that time and space of different points had intersected at some point.

This matter involved the stability of time and space. Even if he was curious, Professor Ji didn’t ask about it. He just received the paper and carefully recalled.

After a while, Professor Ji shook his head, “I haven’t seen him. Do you have any other information?”

Ji Yushi said, “He may be my father’s colleague.”

Professor Ji frowned and tried to remember, but it was to no avail, “Back then, the small group fell apart and several of them lost contact. My specialty was also different from your fathers so there are many of his colleagues that I have never met before. I can however save this photo and let Old Lin take a look. Perhaps he would know something.”

“Okay.” Ji Yushi was a little disappointed, but it was very fleeting, “Thank you.”

Having met his teacher, Ji Yushi got ready to go downstairs.

After reaching the end of the corridor, he suddenly stopped in place.

This was the room he had stayed in from when he was a child until he became an adult. It had been a long time since he entered.

Opening the door, a familiar calming scent entered his nose.

When he was away, Aunt Su had continued to keep this place clean, hoping that he could stay here when he returns.

The room faced south, and the lighting was very good. Outside the balcony was a lush forest —- When he first came here, the Ji family had left the best and most comfortable room in the house for him.

The four walls were densely covered with numbers.

When he was a child, he had written an endless sequence of Fibonacci numbers in order to calm himself down.

Standing on the wooden floor, countless afterimages of himself in this room appeared.

The him hunched up and curled up in the corner, the him lying on the floor staring up at the ceiling all night, the him who finally fell asleep in Aunt Su’s arms on a rainy night, the him suffering from memory overload, no longer able to distinguish between memory and reality and no longer able to speak…..

Those young figures walked back and forth around him. Ji Yushi who stood in the centre allowed the memories to travel through time.

Nothing had changed.

But at the same time, everything seemed to have changed.

Ji Yushi walked over to the balcony. He looked up and took in the light breeze and sun.

He still had many things he had to do but at this moment, there was a strong emotion surging inside him, making him want to express it.

Ji Minyue happened to be passing by under the balcony. He shouted, “Hey, Xiao Ji, missing your boyfriend?”

Ji Yushi opened his eyes. Seeing Ji Minyue carrying a cat carrier, he smiled and turned around and went downstairs.

There was a black cat in the cat carrier.

Ji Yushi hesitated for a moment, “This is Middle Black?”

Ji Minyue, “Don’t tell me you can’t recognise it! They’re just a little fatter!”

The black cat looked at him through the mesh, letting out soft mews. It was clearly acting spoiled.

The three cats were all black. He really had some trouble recognising it despite being someone who could tell Tang Qi and Tang Le apart accurately. He wondered, “How come all the cats you raise become so fat?”

“What do you mean all?! You’re body discriminating!” Ji Minyue was done, “This wasn’t raised by me. It was under the care of Chief Lin and was only just sent over. I was also shocked when I saw it. Chief Lin probably spoiled it too much and gave it too much dried fish.”

Ji Yushi was surprised, “Why did Chief Lin help raise the cat?”

Ji Minyue announced proudly, “I got a new corgi.”

Ji Yushi, “…….”

Even this point was the same as the bubble world?

“Middle Black didn’t get along with the dog and I originally planned to send it home for Old Ji to raise but when Chief Lin saw it, he took it home instead. When he heard that you came back, he couldn’t bear parting with it.” Ji Minyue said, “Big Black and Little Black are still with me. Your sister-in-law has already taken them to be washed and will bring them over after work later today.”

When Ji Yushi opened the cat carrier, the cat immediately cried sweetly and jumped into his arms.

It was fragrant and warm. The black cat’s shiny hair brushed against Ji Yushi’s clear face, making him reveal a rare gentle look.

Ji Minyue watched them act intimate and added, “Actually, it might not be Middle Black. You should check the chip and make sure there isn’t a mistake.”

Ji Yushi who was cuddling the cat, “?”

Ji Minyue complained, “Speaking honestly, your three cats all look exactly the same. Except for you, the only ones who can distinguish between them must be gods!”
