Chapter 81: This Person Is So Weird—Such Strong

"Why did you come to the hospital? Is Yu'an... is the child sick?"

Though he asked the question with his mouth, the man in the back seat kept his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the little one in the photo.

"No."

Thinking of the conversation he had just overheard, Assistant Chen shook his head.

"Miss An brought the little miss for a checkup and vaccinations."

The man couldn't be bothered to correct him, because he had just watched An Luo's car drive away.

"They're leaving—follow them, quick!"

They first followed An Luo to a large shopping center, then trailed them to the outside of the residential complex.

Watching the way someone kept staring at the photo, Assistant Chen's eyes darted.

"President Cheng, would you like to go in and see the child?"

Hearing this, the man raised his eyes to look at him.

"You have a way?"

Assistant Chen held up his phone.

"The mall they were just browsing is under our Cheng family's name. We could..."

Meanwhile, on the other side, after the big one and the little one got home, An Luo first spent a while playing with Zaituan and some building blocks, and soon the doorbell rang.

A man in a dark gray staff uniform and a face mask stood at the door.

"Hello, ma'am, we're delivery staff from the mall, here to deliver your goods."

Saying so, he glanced back at the two men carrying large boxes behind him.

An Luo pushed the door open.

"Alright, please come in."

A blue car and a red car appeared before them, and Yu'an got so excited her little face flushed red, bouncing up and down, clapping and cheering.

"Wow! Yu'an has two little cars!"

Perhaps the little one wasn't used to wearing slippers yet, or perhaps the floor was a bit slippery—Yu'an suddenly lost her footing, her small body barreling straight toward the little cars.

"Yu'an, careful!"

An Luo rushed over.

At the critical moment, a gray figure strode quickly over, bent down, and scooped her up in one motion.

One arm cradled the little one's belly, holding Yu'an securely.

The motion was practiced, as if he had done it countless times before.

"Are you alright?"

Yu'an just stared at him blankly, completely forgetting to react.

The man frowned and kept talking, his tone carrying a hint of reproach.

"In the future, pay more attention to where you're walking. Don't be so careless like just now. Be careful."

Hearing this, An Luo slightly furrowed her brow and reached out to take Yu'an back.

"Thank you."

The meaning was what it was—she was grateful for his good intentions.

But the way it sounded...

A bit too much "dad energy"!

Noticing that the man kept staring at the little one in her arms, An Luo turned sideways to block his line of sight.

"Thank you, I'll remember to give you a five-star review."

The goods have been delivered, water has been served to you—aren't you leaving yet?

"Oh, oh, alright, alright."

Assistant Chen caught that she was seeing them off, and quickly dragged his own boss, who was still reluctant to leave, out the door.

After closing the door again and watching through the peephole as the three men entered the elevator, An Luo finally let out a breath of relief.

Was this her PTSD acting up?

She kept feeling that those three people just now were off somehow—especially the one who had held Yu'an. He was the strangest of all!

Meanwhile, Yu'an behind her was also frowning, clutching her little head in deep thought for a long while.

That uncle just now gave her such a familiar feeling.

Where had she seen him before?

"Yu'an, Elder Sister will teach you how to drive, okay?"

"Okay!"

With the fun new little cars, Zaituan's attention was quickly diverted.

Outside the complex, Assistant Chen pulled the man aside to a corner.

"My dear President Cheng, one moment you don't want them to recognize you, the next you're saying things that are easily misunderstood."

"What do you want to do? Or what exactly is your plan?"

Cheng Sitao raised his head and glanced toward that floor.

He returned to the car in silence, sat down, and let out a long breath.

He didn't know what he was doing, nor did he know why he had come here.

Cheng Sitao—no, his surname now was Cheng.

Clearly, before he lost consciousness, he had jumped off Xuan Ya with his father on his back. But when he opened his eyes again, he had arrived in this strange world.

He had become Cheng Sitao—or, to be precise, he had taken over someone else's body.

He had also wondered—what did he even count as now?

A wandering soul from another world that had forcibly taken over another's body?

Perhaps one day, when the owner of this body returned, he would become a true wandering ghost.

In that case, every extra day alive was a day earned.

But the Cheng Family's great vengeance had yet to be exacted, and he still harbored unwillingness; how many deep nights had he been jolted awake from nightmares.

He had thought the days would just be muddled through by him, one after another.

Until that day, when he saw a familiar bracelet and jade hairpin at an auction.

Those were his mother's and A Qin's personal belongings—he would never mistake them!

He commissioned a pawnshop to track down the seller, and then on her person he discovered Grandmother's heirloom!

Afterwards, he had always secretly had people keep an eye on An Luo's situation, borrowing the Cheng Family's power to help her resolve the trouble with the Gu Family.

After that, although An Luo sold quite a few more jade pieces and jewelry, not a single one was something he recognized.

He gradually gave up—perhaps those really were treasures passed down from someone else's ancestors.

That day, he had originally thought, since he already knew the other party was in danger, he absolutely could not stand by and do nothing.

But what he hadn't expected was that he actually ran into Sheng Xuan at An Luo's home!

He thought, An Luo was definitely no simple matter!

These past days he had also had people keep watch, but for a whole month straight, nothing unusual appeared.

He had even suspected for a time that he had simply been seeing things that day.

Until today, when he saw Yu'an!

He instinctively wanted to rush out and reunite with Yu'an, but in the end reason won the upper hand.

Although this body looked exactly like his original self, he could disappear at any moment.

In that case, why give them hope, only to let them fall into despair again?

Cheng Sitao closed his eyes heavily.

"Let's go."

Being able to catch an occasional glimpse was enough…

"Beep beep beep—"

"Hahaha!"

The whole room was filled with the joyful laughter of a little cub.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon it was time for Zaituan to go home.

Hum!

The streamer you follow is about to go live, countdown 4 minutes 56 seconds…

Seeming to realize he was about to go home too, Yu'an sat in the little car, reluctantly touching the steering wheel.

An Luo crouched beside him and ruffled the little fellow's head.

"Yu'an, try it—see if you can put the little car into the Treasure Chest."

The little fellow's big eyes lit up, and he nodded heavily.

"Mm!"

After getting out of the car, Yu'an placed his hand on the little car and waited for as long as a full minute, but there was no reaction at all; in the end the little fellow drooped his shoulders in dejection.

"Fairy Sister, Yu'an will just come play again next time."

An Luo pushed the three-wheeled Bicycle over from the side.

"Try this one again."

This time, the moment Yu'an's finger touched it, the Bicycle vanished.

Sure enough, the system did not allow items that exceeded that era's technological level by too much to appear over there.

The little fellow's big smile returned.

"Yay!"

Before the words had even faded, the little fellow was gone.

Meanwhile, on the other side—Da Yin, outside Beihuang City.

Yu'an reappeared in the main hall.

The moment he came back, the little fellow excitedly shared his joy with the Ancestors.

"Great-great-grandmother! Yu'an has a little car!"

"Grandmother! Mother! Come quick and look at Yu'an's little car!"

Before the few of them could even be surprised by the little fellow's strange outfit, they saw a suddenly appearing blue frame with a gray seat, a little basket at the back, and another little basket hanging at the front—an object of unknown name.

The few of them exchanged glances, all wearing expressions of wonder.

Especially when they saw the little fellow step on the pedals and the little car roll forward a short distance, their expressions could hardly be described as anything less than shocked.

"This… if it were made bigger, couldn't we ride it too?"

Cheng Qiuruo stared at the Bicycle with burning eyes.

"Yu'an, lend your little car to Aunt for a while, alright?"

She really wanted to take it apart and study it.

Just as Yu'an was about to agree, a cheerful voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"Yu'an, I've come to play with you!"
