A quiet coffee shop, its alluring aroma drifting in the air, seeping from the tightly sealed door into the damp rain, enticing passersby to pause.

Queenie sat by the window, her gaze sweeping nervously over everyone she could see.

"Queenie."

A soft word, even tinged with gentleness.

Lin Feng was there as if he'd been there all along, sitting across from Queenie.

His neatly tied bun, the gold and red-rimmed glasses, his refined yet not effeminate air, were still so striking.

Lin Feng smiled as he looked at the somewhat agitated Queenie, gently wiping away the tears on her face.

"Lin Feng!"

Queenie held the hand on her face, the warmth and touch were real, not a dream.

She leaned forward suddenly, throwing her arms around Lin Feng.

Crack!

But Queenie's overly excited movements accidentally knocked over the coffee in front of her.

The scalding coffee flowed down the tablecloth, dripping onto the floor, leaving a circle of brown stains.

"..."

Lin Feng felt the soft, trembling body in his arms, speechless with love.

His hands slowly reached out, but then stopped in mid-air.

This wasn't something he deserved.

Just as Lin Feng was about to pull his hands back, Queenie grabbed one and pressed it against her back, then held him tightly.

"I've made up my mind, no matter where you go, where you're from, I want to follow you forever!"

Queenie said firmly in Lin Feng's ear, this seemingly gentle and delicate girl, was so brave at this moment.

Lin Feng's hands gently stroked Queenie's back, he carefully felt the body in his embrace, and the thoughts in his heart quietly changed.

"Following me, you might not even be able to be a good person."

Queenie was a good girl, and Lin Feng didn't want to ruin her like this.

"It doesn't matter, as long as I can be with you, I don't care."

Queenie released her hold on Lin Feng, then gently lifted his face, looking at him intently.

"..."

However, only silence answered Queenie, a quiet silence.

But Queenie wasn't anxious, she just looked at Lin Feng quietly, her expression sometimes happy, sometimes sad, and in the end, even though the tears stung her eyes and cheeks, Queenie's smile never faded.

Queenie looked at Lin Feng with tears of joy, she knew Lin Feng's feelings, understood his thoughts, and got the answer she wanted.

"Okay."

Lin Feng uttered a word softly, a smile slowly spreading across his face.

A few days later, Thena stood on the roof of a tall building, seemingly waiting for something.

Flap!!

Suddenly, a black owl flew from afar, a letter held in its beak.

The owl flew to Thena and released its beak.

The letter fell from its mouth, fluttering in the air for a moment before Thena caught it.

Thena looked at the letter in her hand, her gaze lingering on Queenie's handwriting.

She didn't open the letter, just looked at it quietly, as if waiting for something.

After a few minutes, Thena showed a hint of confusion, she tore open the envelope and unfolded the letter filled with writing.

Thena stood quietly on the cold, windy rooftop, time passed unnoticed, and tears slowly flowed down her face along with her trembling hands.

The letter contained Queenie's farewell to her sister.

Queenie would be leaving this world forever, and would basically not return unless absolutely necessary.

Forgive me, sister, I want to pursue my love, I'm sorry for my willfulness.

"Queenie!"

Thena clutched the letter tightly in her hand, the clean, neat paper crumpled in her grip, and drops of tears fell on it, blurring the writing.

And in a place further away, a place Thena couldn't see.

Queenie and Lin Feng stood on the roof of an even taller building, looking at her.

"Sister..."

Queenie looked at Thena crying alone on the rooftop, the sorrow in her heart was overwhelming.

"You..."

Lin Feng was about to say something, but Queenie stopped him.

"I'm not going back."

Although Queenie looked delicate, she was a very strong-willed girl at heart.

She quickly composed herself, turned, took Lin Feng's hand, and said softly, "Let's go."

Lin Feng looked at her, the sadness on her face had vanished in an instant, but a trace of reluctance still lingered in her eyes.

"Let's go."

Lin Feng turned around and pressed a few buttons on the locator on his wrist.

The display screen on the locator immediately changed, and then a tiny metal particle, no bigger than a green bean, popped out.

"What's this?"

Queenie watched Lin Feng's series of strange actions and the impressive-looking watch on his wrist with great curiosity.

"A locator. Putting this little bean here is like knowing the address of this world. We won't get lost next time we come."

Lin Feng looked around, scanned the surrounding buildings, and then placed it in the concrete at his feet.

"Does that mean we can come whenever we want in the future?"

Queenie asked happily.

"Yes, once we get back, I'll make one of these for you, a locator. You can use it to travel back and forth between this world and mine."

Lin Feng pointed to the locator on his wrist and explained.

Queenie nodded happily when she heard this, her earlier sadness swept away.

"Ready?"

Lin Feng placed the small metal particle and raised the wrist with the locator, facing Queenie.

Queenie was no longer sad, because knowing that she could go home at any time, she wasn't as heartbroken.

She nodded excitedly, eager to try.

"Hold on tight."

Lin Feng chuckled and tapped the locator.

The locator on his wrist suddenly burst out with a huge amount of energy, which instantly spread from the locator, enveloping Lin Feng and Queenie. Then, their bodies began to distort, as if they were Apparating.

The difference was that Apparition would disassemble the body, while crossing the world's barrier would not. Lin Feng and Queenie's bodies shrank and disappeared in the blink of an eye, turning into dust-like light.

Poof!

The light dissipated, and Lin Feng once again entered the bizarre world. Although he had recorded it with the locator, he still couldn't understand it when he came here again.

It was as if he had arrived in a higher-dimensional world, and Queenie beside him was the same.

In fact, Queenie showed even more severe symptoms.

Lin Feng felt Queenie's magic power surging uncontrollably. Countless spells she had learned were wantonly released in this strange world until she was exhausted and fainted.

Even in her unconscious state, Queenie still subconsciously held Lin Feng's hand tightly. Lin Feng looked at the girl, and he still felt that she had followed the wrong person.

The time to cross the world's barrier was short. By the time Lin Feng's mind returned to normal, they had already arrived at the base in the Marvel World.

The Time Machine, inlaid with five Infinity Stones, slowly entered standby mode after a soft hum. The light of the five stones was no longer as bright as the sun, but returned to normal.

"Welcome back, sir. Your trip to another world took seven days. The power of the Infinity Stones needs some time to recover. If you wish to travel again, please wait three days."
