She saw pictures appearing on some clocks--
As a young child, she was held in the arms of her grandfather, smiling carefree.
That was her childhood.
She was sweating profusely in the Spirit Hall's martial arts arena, while Qian Daoliu stood aside and gave her stern instructions.
That's her boy.
She is sitting on the Heaven Dou Palace, acting as Xue Qinghe, planning the palace coup plan.
That is her youth.
The picture flows backwards frame by frame, as if someone is flipping through a picture album quickly.
She saw the day she was scolded by Bibi Dong.
She saw the day when she went to the Heaven Dou Empire.
She saw the day she saw Tang San for the first time.
The screen continues to flow backwards.
In the picture, the day of Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong's wedding.
Flower field, Hot Air Balloon, fireworks, and that gentle smile.
Qian Renxue is extremely confused.
That's...
Are those father and mother?
She has never seen such a scene.
In her childhood memory, the relationship between her father and mother has always been very cold, even incompatible.
But in this scene, the mother is smiling so happily, and the father is looking at the mother so tenderly.
When did this happen?
She was lost in thought when suddenly--
The wrist felt loose.
The silver-white watch detached from her wrist and flew up lightly.
Qian Renxue was stunned and quickly reached out to grab it.
But her hand went through the watch and caught nothing.
The watch flew farther and farther, higher and higher, and finally disappeared into the endless light deep in the tunnel.
Qian Renxue wanted to catch up, but found that he couldn't move.
She could only watch the watch disappear.
Then, she began to feel her body changing.
To be precise, it is getting smaller.
Not that kind of slow change, but a feeling of... being compressed.
She looked down at her hands.
The originally translucent fingers are shortening little by little.
Palms become smaller, arms become shorter, shoulders become narrower--
The whole person is shrinking back.
She looked at the clocks on the tunnel walls and looked at the backward scenes.
In the picture, her own image is also flowing backwards--
From an aging old woman to a middle-aged woman.
From a middle-aged woman to a young girl...
In the end, she transformed from an ignorant girl into a swaddling baby.
Get smaller again.
become smaller.
Smaller than a baby.
So small that it's almost invisible.
"Whoosh--!"
Like a ray of light, she emerged from the exit of the time tunnel.
Douluo Continent, night, starry.
Spirit City--
In the store on the first floor of a two-story building, Bi Dashan is tiptoeing, replenishing the shelves.
Melon seeds, peanuts, candies, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar... are arranged neatly.
During this period, the grocery store's business is good, the location is good, and neighbors are willing to come and patronize it.
There were footsteps at the door.
Bi Dashan looked back with a smile on his face.
"Xunji is back?"
Qian Xunji walked into the store, carrying an oil paper bag in his hand, and the aroma emanated from it.
"Dad, did you save the food?"
"Keep it, keep it." Bi Dashan put down the goods in his hand, "Your mother has cooked the food and heated it in the pot. What are you carrying? It smells so good."
"Spicy roasted legs." Qian Xunji shook the oil paper bag, "I passed by that old shop and bought it. Let's eat together later.
"Okay, okay, that feels good."
"Where is Dong'er?"
"When I'm sleeping, I feel quite sleepy during this period. I can sleep most of the day."
Qian Xunji glanced upstairs, with tenderness in his eyes.
"It seems that Dong'er is no longer lucky. I'll go see her."
He quietly went upstairs and opened the door.
The room was quiet, with the curtains half-closed.
Bibi Dong lay on his side on the bed and slept soundly.
At seven months pregnant, my belly has become obviously swollen.
She was lying on her side, one hand gently placed on her belly, with a faint smile on her lips, and she didn't know what sweet dream she was having.
Qian Xunji walked to the bed and sat down.
He looked down at her for a long time.
Then he leaned over and kissed her on the face.
He took her hand again and kissed the back of it.
Bibi Dong's eyelashes trembled, "Well..."
She opened her eyes drowsily, saw it was him, and narrowed her eyes again, "Are you back?"
"Hmm."
"I bought roasted legs, do you want to eat them?"
Bibi Dong shook his head and shrank into the bed.
"Don't eat... so sleepy..."
"Okay, then you continue to sleep."
He tucked her in the quilt, looked at her again, then stood up and left.
The door closed gently.
The room became quiet again.
Bibi Dong turned over and continued to sleep deeply.
At this moment, a golden light fell from the sky, then passed through the window, passed through the gap in the curtain, and finally landed on Bibi Dong's belly and disappeared.
Downstairs, Qian Xunji, Yue Guan and Bi Dashan are sitting around the small table drinking.
There were several plates of side dishes on the table, as well as a plate of fragrant roast legs.
Yue Guan gave a thumbs up while eating gracefully.
"Your Majesty, this roasted leg is really good!"
Qian Xunji nodded with a smile, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"Yue Guan, thank you for your hard work during this time."
Yue Guan waved his hand quickly, "It's not hard work, it's not hard work. It's my duty to protect my wife."
"Besides, my subordinates would be embarrassed to eat and drink here every day."
Bi Dashan laughed loudly on the side, "What are you sorry for? Eat more, there won't be enough left in the pot!"
The three of them were talking lively when an exclamation suddenly came from upstairs.
"Ah--!"
It's the voice of Bibi Dong.
Qian Xunji The wine glass in his hand fell to the table with a bang, and the wine spilled all over the table.
His whole body seemed to be bounced by a spring, and he rushed up the stairs in an instant.
Yue Guan and Bi Dashan were also stunned and quickly followed.
"Dong'er!"
Qian Xunji rushed into the room and threw himself next to the bed, "What's wrong?"
Bibi Dong was half sitting on the bed, holding his stomach and looking a little pale.
"My stomach... my stomach suddenly hurts..."
