Chapter 309

~4 min read 684 words

"Ah?"

Jiang Yan looked at his own body, then glanced around.

Confusion appeared in his eyes.

Walking to the mirror, after seeing his black-haired, delicate face, Jiang Yan paused slightly.

Where is this??

Jiang Yan widened his pupils and rushed toward the window.

The city teeming with traffic made Jiang Yan feel as if he had lived another life.

This...

I, no...

Jiang Yan found it hard to believe.

Could all my experiences over such a long time have been just a dream?

No, what kind of experiences were they again?

Jiang Yan felt as if he had forgotten many things.

He desperately wanted to recall those things, but the more he tried, the more blurred they became.

"Jiang Yan! Haven't you finished getting ready yet?"

Outside the door, Jiang Yanwang's voice rang out again.

"Oh, coming!"

The more he thought, the more blurred it became, so Jiang Yan stopped trying to think about it.

Picking up the schoolbag on the table, Jiang Yan skillfully put on his school uniform and walked out the door.

Throughout the day, familiar classmates, familiar teachers, familiar parents, a familiar world.

Everything and anything was so familiar.

But from start to finish, Jiang Yan felt something was slightly off.

Yet he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

With each passing day, this sense of wrongness grew stronger.

Days passed for Jiang Yan, one after another.

Regarding matters of Teyvat, Jiang Yan never remembered them again.

But on the day of his high school graduation, everything changed.

"Hey, Yan, did you hear? A game announced its open beta today!"

His best friend Li Chen came to Jiang Yan's side and said to him with a smile.

"What game?"

Jiang Yan smiled, put down the book in his hand, and asked.

0 · Requesting flowers · ······

"I heard it's an open-world anime-style game, I think it's called... Genshin?"

Jiang Yan paused sharply, and a strong sense of wrongness surged from his heart.

Genshin?

Genshin?!

Such a familiar name!

Jiang Yan seemed to have a headache; this feeling was too familiar.

"What are you thinking about? Let's go, tomorrow we're on holiday!"

Li Chen smiled, patted Jiang Yan's shoulder, and woke Jiang Yan from his reverie.

"Ah... let's go."

Jiang Yan came to his senses and walked back with Li Chen.

Arriving at the school gate, Jiang Yan saw his parents standing in front of their family car, waving at him.

Just as he was about to reach his parents, a out-of-control car darted out from the roadside.

It rushed fiercely toward the school gate.

"Careful!"

"Yan!"

"Run!!!"

Jiang Yan, staring at the rushing truck, widened his eyes.

In that moment of life-or-death crisis, his mind instantly became clear.

He remembered.

He remembered everything.

Yes, this day.

The day he would never forget in his entire life.

The summer vacation of his second year of high school.

His parents and his good brother both completely left this world because of that drunk-driving vehicle.

And in that same year, Genshin announced its open beta.

Under nearly mental collapse, he came into contact with Genshin.

Genshin successfully pulled him back from the brink of falling into depression.

"Heh, hehehehe..."

Jiang Yan suddenly laughed.

Seven-colored flowing light appeared all around him; at this moment, all power emerged from Jiang Yan's body once more.

"None of this was a dream!"

Jiang Yan looked at the dual-star state returning to his body and laughed.

He gazed at the oncoming car and clenched his right fist.

With one punch thrown, the car was smashed to pieces by Jiang Yan.

At this moment, Jiang Yan's parents and Li Chen stood up, standing there and smiling as they watched Jiang Yan.

"A-Yan, it seems you lived very well in that world."

Jiang's mother looked at Jiang Yan as he regained his original appearance, smiling gently, and spoke softly.

"Mm, it was passable."

Jiang Yan nodded with a smile.

At this time, Li Chen and Jiang's father and mother stepped forward and embraced Jiang Yan.

None of them spoke; they simply held each other silently until they vanished.
