"In other words, Yan Huan, now... there are really only four modifiers left here."

Except for Bai Yi, the remaining four modifiers...

Doesn't this mean it's already over?

No wonder Meow couldn't hide his excitement in his tone...

"..."

But compared to Meow, Yan Huan leaned against the wall and sat down.

He couldn't understand why Bai Yi would do this.

But because of the revival of his memories, he recalled what "was supposed to happen this morning."

In the blurred vision, he seemed to see Bai Yi, who said to him:

"I will definitely save you..."

And right after that, she must have gone back to the past and done something.

This led to her existence being completely erased.

Because she seemed never to have been born, she wouldn't sign with the Golden Lion Group, so Zuo Jiangqin would never come to the Golden Lion Group to cause trouble, and An Le naturally wouldn't send him a message...

So the past, including today, seemed to have been reset.

"..."

Yan Huan's eyes flickered slightly, then he raised his eyes and looked at Meow,

"Bai Yi probably went back for the first time when I got hit by an ambulance..."

"Indeed meow..."

"...she went back to save me."

Meow blinked a few times, seemingly understanding Yan Huan's meaning, and could only say helplessly,

"But... you have a revival meow! Even if she didn't know at the time, eventually she would know, after changing the fact that you were hit by the car she should have returned meow!"

"But she didn't..."

Indeed, this is a point of doubt.

The key is that Yan Huan and Meow don't know what she actually experienced when traveling back.

Based on the outcome, she went back to a very distant past where she shouldn't have returned.

Their acquaintance, the accident with his parents, her birth...

These had nothing to do with what happened later due to Ye Shiyu's incident.

Maybe it's because she also wanted to change other things?

Yan Huan didn't know either, but a feeling of regret arose in his heart...

Because that day when he was trapped in the villa by Ye Shiyu, he pretended to use Bai Yi's modifier to seek help from her.

If he hadn't told her, then Ye Lan would have been brought by Yingying through the index finger.

If she didn't know this, maybe she wouldn't have traveled back to the past, and she wouldn't have disappeared now...

"..."

The night wind brushed across Yan Huan's face, like a lover gently caressing his skin.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something, raised his head,

"Meow..."

"Meow?"

"How did Bai Yi actually do it?"

"..."

Meow knew what he was asking:

How did Bai Yi manage to travel back to the past and change what had already happened?

If she could do it, maybe Yan Huan could too.

He could also go back to the past and change the set fact of Bai Yi's complete disappearance!

Silently, Meow opened his mouth and could only say,

"I still don't understand the specific principles of the ring finger's time travel, it needs more time...

"However, what the modifier can do must be a very cunning trick that exploits loopholes.

"She couldn't possibly directly reverse the flow in the river of time, even I can't do that...

"I have a faint suspicion it has something to do with the if-line projections of those worlds you visited."

After saying all this, Meow solemnly squatted down, wrapped his tail around his chubby body, and tilted his head to look at Yan Huan,

"But are you sure meow, Yan Huan?

"You should realize that changing the past is not child's play...

"At present, the ring finger has disappeared, and the end of the modifier is within reach.

"Your parents are back, and everything else is back on track...

"This might be the best timeline Bai Yi could strive for meow!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan squinted his eyes.

He was silent for a second, then shook his head,

"This still isn't... there must be a better one."

"Meow..."

Meow looked at Yan Huan's serious face, covered with shadows, and didn't speak, just adorably meowed.

Then, he walked forward, and his pudgy body leaned against Yan Huan.

Feeling Meow's warmth, Yan Huan lowered his eyes.

At this moment, no matter what, the unchanged feeling of Meow gave him immense comfort.

So, he petted Meow's body and whispered,

"I almost forgot to say... It's so good to have you back, Meow."

"Meow~"

Meow adorably opened his mouth and turned around cutely calling out,

"Never call me Useless meow! I am Lord God!!"

"..."

Yan Huan rubbed its face and held it in his arms.

And so, he just sat there silently.

"Tap... tap... tap..."

Outside, in the silent night, faint footsteps echoed on the street.

Yan Huan remained motionless until a tall figure blocked the streetlight outside, casting a shadow that climbed up his body.

"Xiao Huan?"

"..."

Yan Huan stared blankly in that direction and saw Ye Shiyu, who was also in pajamas, holding her phone and looking at him worriedly.

"Sister Shiyu?"

At this moment, in Ye Shiyu's eyes, Yan Huan sat brokenly in the alley in his pajamas.

He looked both pitiful and helpless.

She opened her mouth slightly and quickly walked toward Yan Huan.

So, before he could finish his sentence, Ye Shiyu pulled him into her arms.

"..."

Feeling Ye Shiyu so close, Yan Huan blinked and patted her back, asking,

"Sister Shiyu, why are you..."

"When you turned on the light, I wasn't asleep yet... I thought you were getting up at night, but you left the room and went downstairs, still in your pajamas..."

Ye Shiyu slightly released Yan Huan and looked at him, saying,

"I sent you messages, but you didn't reply. I was worried something happened to you, so..."

Yan Huan glanced at his phone and found messages indeed on his Plane app.

But he had set it to Do Not Disturb mode at night to avoid being interrupted while sleeping, so there were no alerts.

"So... what's wrong, Xiao Huan? Is it because of... me?"

"..."

Looking at Ye Shiyu's face, which expressed "self-awareness" without any expression, Yan Huan couldn't hold back.

He laughed silently, shook his head,

"No..."

"..."

"Then, has someone bullied you?"

"Not really..."

But Ye Shiyu just looked at him, at his helpless smile, and then reached out her hand...

The next second, Yan Huan felt her two index fingers gently pressing the muscles at the corners of his mouth.

Little by little, she lifted them upward, bringing back his usual smile instead of a bitter one.

"..."

Yan Huan blinked, and Ye Shiyu slowly withdrew her hand after seeing this.

Yan Huan's gaze inevitably followed her hand as it was withdrawn, finally landing on her face.

She seemed a bit embarrassed but still raised her eyes to meet Yan Huan's gaze,

"Then... cheer up, Xiao Huan. No matter what happens, I'm here with you..."

"...Alright."

Listening to Ye Shiyu's words, Yan Huan's previously heavy heart felt a bit lighter.

He held onto Ye Shiyu's hand, slowly got up, and then pointed behind him, looking for an excuse,

"Actually, Sister Shiyu, I just came out to look for a cat..."

"A cat?"

Ye Shiyu tilted her head, just as Meow had just landed and appeared,

"Meow～"

It tilted its head cutely at Ye Shiyu and then playfully walked toward her.

As Ye Shiyu watched the cat gradually approach, she instinctively wanted to lift her foot...

"Meow?!"

"..."

But halfway through, seeing Yan Huan still in front of her, she held back with difficulty.

She just took a step back, nodded awkwardly,

"So that's it..."

Seeing this, Yan Huan slapped his forehead.

He had forgotten that Ye Shiyu was a subscriber to Love Cat TV!

She didn't like small cats and such things.

Meow, seeing Ye Shiyu unable to give it any comforting kicks, proudly circled around her, giving her pressure.

After all, with Yan Huan there, she couldn't do anything to it either!

Instead, it enjoyed seeing her discomfort as the small cat got closer.

"I... then let's go back, Xiao Huan..."

Ye Shiyu kept retreating until she finally spoke.

Hearing this, Yan Huan took a deep breath and nodded,

"Alright..."

With that, Yan Huan took out his phone and booked a ride.

And just as Yan Huan turned around, Ye Shiyu immediately lowered her head and looked at the black cat still circling with its tail up beside her.

"!!"

Unexpected!

Meow instantly opened its mouth and instinctively ran toward Yan Huan.

But in the next second, Ye Shiyu gently kicked its stomach.
