Seeing A-Yi Again!

"How about I go with you to check the surveillance footage?"

Seeing his friend's distraught state, Wu Gang felt a pang of pity.

Jiang Hao's eyes lit up. "Is that okay?"

Wu Gang raised his head, a haughty look on his face, "Of course you can, have you forgotten what my dad does?"

The Uchiha Kei in his mind pondered for a moment.

More than a decade has passed, and some memories are truly hard to recall.

However, it seems to belong to the traffic police system.

The two teenagers flagged down a car and headed straight for the traffic management office.

A moment later.

Jiang Hao sat blankly in the chair, his eyes fixed on the frozen image on the screen.

Wu Gang didn't know how to comfort him.

The two had previously found footage of Jiang Hao's car accident.

In the footage, an out-of-control car veers off from the other side of the road.

Just as the car was about to cross the zebra crossing, Jiang Hao in the video suddenly lunged forward in a bizarre manner.

And ahead...

There was no one there!

"That..."

Wu Gang scratched his head awkwardly, "Perhaps you've been under too much academic pressure lately..."

He himself didn't believe that.

In the surveillance footage, Jiang Hao's expression clearly showed terror.

It was clear that he had gone through a lot of internal struggle before deciding to rush forward.

Perhaps, in Jiang Hao's eyes, there really was a little girl in front of him at that time.

"Who exactly did I save? Or perhaps... not even a human being?"

Fear flashed in Jiang Hao's eyes.

Wu Gang silently stayed by his side.

To be honest, he's starting to feel a bit creeped out.

One hour later.

Jiang Hao lay blankly on his bed, staring at the white ceiling with empty eyes.

In my mind.

"Sure enough, A-Yi wasn't in the surveillance footage."

Uchiha Kei sat cross-legged, his mind racing.

"But A-Yi was clearly in the previous scene."

"Not only is there A-Yi, but also Otsutsuki Xing Meng!"

"And 'I' also know both of them."

Uchiha Kei's brows furrowed slightly.

He felt a certain thought flash through his mind.

But it's just that I can't grasp it.

"Xiao Hao, come out for dinner."

A gentle female voice sounded from outside the bedroom.

Uchiha Kei's thoughts abruptly ceased, his eyes fixed intently on the outside world.

"Okay, got it."

Jiang Hao replied weakly and slowly walked out of the bedroom.

As soon as he stepped out the door, the enticing aroma of food wafted into his nostrils.

Wow! It smells so good!

Jiang Hao's eyes lit up, his previous dejection completely gone.

He dashed to the dining table, tears streaming down Jiang Hao's face.

"Wait, your dad isn't home yet."

A gentle and graceful figure appeared in his sight.

"Mom..."

Tears silently streamed down Uchiha Kei.

I've been in the Naruto World for over a decade.

He thought that all of this had been forgotten.

But it wasn't until he saw that figure today that he understood.

These memories weren't forgotten; rather, they were buried deep within his heart.

"You're back! You're back! Come and eat!"

A deep male voice came from behind him.

A middle-aged man with a weathered face sat down next to him with a smile.

"Dad..."

Another murmur escaped his Uchiha Kei stared tremblingly at the scene before him.

Perhaps...

Becoming the number one person in the Naruto World is far less satisfying than a family of three sitting down for a warm meal together.

Pity.

He couldn't control his body now, and could only watch helplessly as Jiang Hao finished his meal and turned to leave without a second thought.

"We must find the truth! We absolutely must find the truth!"

Uchiha Kei.

"Only by finding the truth..."

"Only then will there be a chance of coming back..."

"Go home..."

Jiang Hao wandered aimlessly through the streets.

A moment later, as if by some strange twist of fate, they found themselves at the intersection where the car accident had occurred.

"There was clearly a little girl there, so why isn't she in the surveillance footage?"

Jiang Hao muttered something in confusion.

After waiting for several green lights, Jiang Hao finally started walking across the street.

As soon as he took the first step, Jiang Hao's gaze ahead was filled with fear.

Across the street.

A beautiful little girl, with a lollipop in her mouth, looked at him with a radiant smile.

"She... she... it's her! She's appeared!"

Jiang Hao gestured wildly, pointing at the little girl, attracting the attention of those around him.

"Hello, can you see the little girl over there?"

Jiang Hao excitedly grabbed the man beside him.

The man looked at the person opposite him with a puzzled expression. "A little girl? Where's the little girl?"

Jiang Hao's expression froze. "No... no?... That's impossible! She's standing right across from me!"

The man probably thought Jiang Hao was mentally unstable, so he quickly pulled away from his hand and hurried away.

"I can't see it... How could I not see it..."

Jiang Hao crouched down in agony, clutching his hair tightly.

In his mind, Uchiha Kei sighed.

The little girl across the street...

Or rather, A-Yi had indeed appeared in his sight.

As for why others can't see it...

"Can you see me?"

The scene of when Uchiha Kei first met A-Yi flashed through his mind.

Just as Jiang Hao squatted down, A-Yi, with a lollipop in his mouth, slowly walked over.

In an instant, everything around them froze.

Uchiha Kei felt a suction force pulling him out of Jiang Hao's mind.

"Hehe, we meet again."

A-Yi ran up to him, looked up, and said innocently.

His eyes seemed to hold an endless river of stars.
