Chapter 1402: Chapter 411: Blessing in Absence

"Hey... Yan Ye... Say something..."

Just as Yan Huan was caught in inner turmoil, Bai Yi’s trembling and sorrowful voice pulled him back to reality.

He turned his head and saw Bai Yi staring blankly at him, her face pale.

Perhaps due to her unique constitution, she had a deeper understanding of worldlines than Yan Huan and could better comprehend what that collapse implied.

Thus, when she realized that Yan Huan was still dead, the suppressed pain and sadness of witnessing Yan Huan’s death resurfaced in her heart.

"Drip..."

As a tear fell from the corner of her eye, for some reason, Yan Huan felt a sudden pain in his heart,

"Calm down, meow, I only saw that Yan Huan was alive after the car accident. I didn’t know about this."

"But... but..."

So, he quickly jumped to the sobbing Bai Yi’s side and began to console her,

"Think about it! There must be a reason Yan Huan is in trouble. We’re now in the worldline, there must be a way to save..."

As he spoke, Yan Huan’s words suddenly came to a halt.

Because at that moment, he finally realized:

Why Bai Yi had been traveling back in time to change the past.

Most likely, it’s related to the collapse of the worldline on his 19th birthday.

So, is this really true?

"..."

Yan Huan still refused to believe it; if they continued, it seemed they would head towards Bai Yi’s disappearance.

Therefore, no matter what, he planned to visit the 19th birthday when the incident originally happened.

To confirm the truth.

"Bai Yi, let’s first go see July 1st and witness it ourselves..."

"Alright..."

Bai Yi pressed her lips together, still feeling quite uneasy inside.

But on second thought, it was indeed as Yan Ye had said...

She could travel through time and space; no matter what, she would be able to save Yan Huan!

After all, before knowing Yan Huan was alive, wasn’t this her plan?

"..."

So, she sniffed and wiped the wetness from the corner of her eye, standing back up.

She turned her head to look at the instrument in front of her, gesturing as she murmured,

"This thing is so big, can we take it with us? I don’t even know how the version of me in this worldline made it..."

"No worries, I can replicate its functionality, no need to worry."

"Then... are there any other tools we can take, anything that could help save Yan Huan..."

"..."

Hearing this, Yan Huan looked at Bai Yi for a long time, then turned his head to glance around.

This worldline had already been played to the point of being untouchable, and there was little chance that any powerful tools would have been left behind.

So, he remained silent for a few seconds before speaking,

"You might as well take some designer bags..."

"..."

...

...

The next day, in the afternoon, at 4:40 PM.

Bai Yi was dressed in designer sportswear, an extremely expensive baseball cap, and limited edition sunglasses, with several ultra-expensive designer bags hanging on her...

And in her arms, even the adorable white cat Yan Huan was sporting an LV luxury scarf of dubious meaning.

The two of them looked like dealers who had just returned from overseas with goods for their social media friends.

"It’s about time, meow..."

For the sake of easing Bai Yi’s mood, Yan Huan reluctantly wore the scarf.

"Alright, I’ll... I’ll adjust the time! July 1st..."

"Crack, crack, crack!"

With Bai Yi twisting the pocket watch, as the time approached 4:44 PM, the watch once again emitted a nebulous golden light.

Destination: July 1st, Yan Huan’s 19th birthday!

Then, that light once again wrapped around Yan Huan and Bai Yi’s bodies, taking them through the crevices of time and space.

This time, the pressure Yan Huan felt was unprecedented.

After all, this was their first true time travel experience; previously, they had only gone from reality to if-lines, but this time they were heading to the future.

"Hiss!!"

Even though he had merged with a divine body, he still felt pain.

Fortunately, at this moment, a pair of hands gently lifted him and held him tightly in her embrace.

"..."

Yan Huan’s cat pupils slightly contracted as he turned his head to see Bai Yi shielding them from the terrifying waves of infinite time.

In her embrace, all the pain that had originally arisen quickly vanished, and soon they reached their destination.

"Buzz!"

Original worldline · July 1st · Yan Huan’s 19th birthday.

At this moment, Bai Yi hadn’t changed anything, so Wang Yulu hadn’t been resurrected, and everyone hadn’t forgotten Bai Yi.

It’s just that because Bai Yi traveled back to the past, in the eyes of others, she was simply missing.

This time, upon returning, Yan Huan also advised Bai Yi not to expose herself.

Because technically speaking, they were heading to the future and still needed to return.

There wasn’t anything that needed to be changed here for now, so not exposing themselves and reducing variables was the most prudent course of action.

Yan Huan realized that this worldline was sensitive and fragile; despite having a "reverse butterfly effect," any unexpected event couldn’t be ruled out.

Therefore, caution was paramount.

At this moment, the main character Bai Yi wore sunglasses and a mask, "fully armed" as she scrutinized the bright weather in Linmen.

This was something she had learned from celebrities to avoid being spotted by fans...

However, in reality, with her level of following, even if she walked down the street, not many people would recognize her.

"We’re here, meow, let’s go to the South District. At this time, Yan Huan will definitely be there."

"Ah, but isn’t it his birthday today? Maybe he’s already arranged to have dinner with Sakuragi Hitomi and the others..."

"Don’t worry, he won’t even remember it’s his birthday."

Hearing this, Bai Yi blinked, puzzled,
